How Mood Affects Your Motivation and Happiness
To get the things you want in life, sacrifices have to be made.
This is true for any worthwhile goal or skill. It takes time. Practice. Persistence. And sometimes a healthy dose of self-restraint.
But there's another factor. And it's rarely mentioned in conjunction with goal pursuit and long term happiness…
Our mood.
Mood Affects Your Motivation For Certain Tasks
Moods come and go. They're temporary.
But they also influence longer term outcomes. A recently published study found that our mood influences which activities we engage in. The researchers state:
Our findings demonstrate that people's everyday decisions regarding which activities to undertake are directly linked to how they feel and follow a remarkably consistent pattern.
What trends did they notice?
People seek mood enhancing activities when they feel bad and engage in unpleasant activities that might promise longer-term payoff when they feel good.
These findings come from following over 28,000 people over an average of 27 days using a smart phone app. The data represents real-time moods and activities collected during random times during the day.
The Consequences For Your Long Term Happiness
When you say it out loud, it makes sense.
When we're feeling down, we engage in activities that will improve our moods. While fun or pleasurable, it may also be in conflict with our long term wants and needs.
And when we feel good, we're more likely to engage in boring, tedious (but also necessary) tasks that will benefit us in the future.
While interesting, it's also a catch-22. We're more likely to do things for our long term happiness when we're already in a good mood.
After a long or stressful day at the office, we're usually short on motivation. We're not in the mood to watch what we eat or go to the gym. We'd rather binge watch Netflix on the couch.
If a bad mood persists, it's easy to see how people get stuck in a rut. Or why it can be tough to climb out of depression.
So how are we supposed to create an upward spiral? Or prevent a downward one?
Resilient Moods Make Happier People
Luckily, other areas of behavioral psychology have found that our well-being doesn't have to fall prey to bad moods or random stressful events.
Here's 4 quick tips from science that can help you regulate your mood and be more resilient to emotional ups and downs.
1. Exercise – You get tons of benefits from exercise, and I can't go through them all here. But it's the keystone habit. And a big reason why is because it has a big impact on your mood.
It boosts the feel good neuro-chemicals like endorphins and dopamine. And it's been shown to stabilize your mood during the day. If you exercise or do activities outside? Even better, as nature has also proven to be a natural mood enhancer.
Exercise also helps make our mood more resilient in two other important areas. It fights stress in the short term and long term. And it also helps you recover from and prevent depression. Factors that can bring our moods down.
2. Habits – Any behavior that is a habit is largely immune to mood. Studies have shown when we're stressed out we tend to fall back on our habits. Whether they are good or bad. So if you've established productive or healthy habits, they should be resilient to any dips in mood or motivation.
3. Do Tough Things Early – Generally speaking, our moods are more likely to be elevated following a good nights rest. So you should plan to tackle tasks that may require more motivation on your part in the first few hours. Before you get sidetracked by other stress or mood draining tasks/responsibilities.
Advice from willpower research gives the same advice, although for different reasons. The study above implies that mood can be a contributing factor, if not the factor. But the combination of willpower and better mood is good reason for completing tasks that may not be less pleasant.
4. Schedule Your Happiness – Find something that you enjoy doing, that you'll look forward to, and put it on your schedule.
Not only will the anticipation of doing something fun and enjoyable keep you excited during the day, it will buffer you from daily stressors. Taking time for yourself is an important part of good mental health.
Moods Motivate Us
Human motivation is complex. Your mood is hardly the only moving part of the motivation system.
Take personality, for instance. Optimistic people have a natural built in resilience. They tend to see things in a positive light. In contrast, neurotic individuals have a tendency to ruminate or be anxious, which can affect mood negatively.
But mood is important, whether your looking to be more productive or trying to improve yourself. And identifying ways to regulate your mood can give you better results for long term happiness.

These Candy Corn Cupcakes are candy corn in cupcake format. They're orange and yellow miniature cupcakes (because candy corn are so small!) with a point of white icing on the top to give them that signature candy corn shape.
They taste like regular vanilla cupcakes instead of candy corn, so everyone can enjoy them even if they don't like the candies that inspired them, but definitely capture the colors of the season.

The accountancy firm says allegations about its conduct as an adviser to MG Rover are "extremely stale" and has applied to strike out a legal case brought against it by the industry watchdog.
Deloitte and its former mergers and acquisitions partner Maghsoud Einollahi have been accused of earning more than £9m in fees on two tax transactions for the owners of MG Rover. They are alleged to have "failed to consider adequately the public interest", to have taken an "inappropriate" fee and to have failed to consider the potential for a conflict of interest.
The transactions, called Project Aircraft and Project Platinum, earned the owners of MG Rover, the Phoenix Four, millions of pounds.
However, at a tribunal at the International Dispute Resolution Centre on Thursday, Deloitte said it had applied for the allegations regarding Project Aircraft to be dismissed, and could also seek for the Project Platinum allegations to be struck-out.
It said the case has "no real prospect of success" and should not be allowed to progress "in the public interest" because of "the passage of time, the repeated changes in the allegations made, the weakness of the allegations ultimatley pursued, the expense of a trial on the issue and the oppression involved".
Deloitte said the allegation is "not supported by evidence" and that the company had told the Phoenix Four it would not advise on tax transactions.
However, the executive counsel to the Accountancy and Actuarial Discipline Board, which brought the case, said the allegations are "in the public interest" and the tribunal does not have the jurisdiction to strike-off the allegations unless there had been an "abuse of process".
The Phoenix Four – Peter Beale, John Towers, Nick Stephenson and John Edwards – were last year struck off as company directors for a combined 19 years, following an investigation into the collapse of MG Rover in 2005. They collected £42m in pay and pensions after buying MG Rover from BMW for £10 in 2000.

Knickers Style Guide
Finding the perfect fitting knicker can be just as important as the perfect fitting bra. here are several styles of Knickers, each offering a different but comfortable fit. From something special to the absolute essentials, discover our collections and made for you fits. To help you decide the best styles, here is our Knicker Guide
These cheeky cut knickers provide moderate coverage and show a more revealing cut at the back, designed to flatter. Brazilian knickers have a medium leg line and sit on the upper part of the hip. Often the leg line is not elasticated, which means they do not show through clothes, making them wearable under any outfit.
Show off your natural assets and avoid those pesky VPL's (visible panty lines) with a G-String. Various are styles available including the thong, and V-String. Minimal knickers, G-Strings do not cover the bottom but do offer coverage at the front.
Bikinis are similar to briefs but usually have a waistband that sits around the hip area with slightly more revealing cut at the back.This cut also includes string bikinis with a very thin side waistband and Tangas, cousins to the bikini in which they have narrow hip coverage but full back coverage.
A cheeky take on fitted boxer shorts, these panties deliver a body-hugging fit with a longer leg for extra coverage. They are a perfect everyday alternative and offer comfortable coverage under skirts. or teamed up with a camisole and worn around as loungewear. They fit well both on straight hipped figures and curvy girls emphasising just the right parts of the body.

The Soviet Union is mounting the largest naval and merchant shipbuilding program of the century and in a sea war would have a substantial advantage, Jane's Fighting ships said today (Aug. 14).
The warning came in a forword to the 1980-81 edition by Jane's editor, Capt. John E. Moore, a former deputy chief of British naval intelligence.
"If peacetime operations were to escalate to a war at sea . . . using submarines and aircrafts as the primary arms supported by surface and amphibious forces," Jane's said, "The balance would be heavily weighted on the side of the Soviet Navy."

A strong cold front moved southward across the south-central US on 17 January 2012, dropping temperatures as much as 20 degrees F in 1-2 hours with wind gusts of 30-40 knots. The cold air behind the front (lighter gray enhancement) was clearly evident on AWIPS images of 4-km resolution GOES-13 10.7 µm IR channel data (above; click image to play animation).
As the cold front moved southward, a lee-side cold frontal gravity wave was seen along its leading edge on 4-km resolution GOES-13 6.5 µm water vapor channel images (above; click image to play animation). Note the very complex wave structure that was displayed on a 1-km resolution MODIS 6.7 µm water vapor channel image at 08:34 UTC (below). In addition, the MODIS water vapor image showed great detail in the mountain waves across parts of New Mexico and far southwestern Texas, as strong westerly flow was interacting with the terrain in that region.
As the cold front passed the Jayton, Texas NOAA wind profiler site (station identifier JTNT2) after about 12 UTC, the transition to a northeasterly flow of cold air was evident (above). Even though the depth of the cold air was not more than about 1.5 km, the lee-side cold frontal gravity wave was able to be seen on the water vapor imagery due to the fact that the cold, dry air mass shifted the peak of the GOES-13 water vapor weighting function down to within the 700-500 hPa pressure level — much lower than the height of the water vapor weighting function of the US Standard Atmosphere air mass (below).

Many young people enjoy comic books, but Samuel Bruch has a special interest in the genre: He wrote one.
"I always enjoyed the B-list characters," Bruch, senior in justice studies, said. "Ted Lord, the Blue Beetle. There are only so many times you can write Superman."
His love for the lower rings of villainy instead of top list Injustice Gang influenced Bruch's creative choices. His comic book Magilicutty was born from such lower characters.
"Someone must be on guard duty," Bruch said. "Notice how the henchmen wear the more ridiculous outfits. Why would someone dress up like that?"
Bruch took this question and mixed it with his personal history of working minimum-wage jobs to get through college to create Magilicutty. The title character, Frank Magilicutty, begins the series working for Dr. War, a supervillain. The book follows Frank as he balances his home life with a hazardous work life.
Bruch's comic book started as an assignment for a screenwriting class.
Originally, Bruch says, he envisioned the story as a film. He later decided to switch it to a comic book format because financing a book is much easier and because of his own lifelong love for the art. There was just one small problem.
"I couldn't draw," Bruch said.
With drawing such an important, if not the most important, aspect of a comic book, Bruch says he wrote the storyline and turned to craigslist.com, the popular online classified ads website, to find an artist. Magilicutty's artist, who is based in Boston, works through correspondence with Bruch to create the books.
Bruch's second problem, with the school assignment left far behind, was raising funds to finance the first real tangible issue. He again turned to the Internet, this time to kickstarter.com, an online fundraiser company. Bruch's success led him to launch a second campaign on kickstarter to finance a second issue.
Despite its original goal, Bruch has another use for kickstarter nowadays.
"Kickstarter is more of a marketing tool than a means to raise money," he said.
Each donor gets a gift. Low-level donations include Magilicutty issue No. 1 to catch a new reader up on the story or Magilicutty-themed memorabilia.
High-level donations move up to Bruch's band playing a show for the donor for free.
The current campaign has raised $805 of a $1,000 goal.
Despite writing from the perspective of villains combatting masked vigilantes, Bruch does not see a lot of applications from his major to his writing.
Right now Bruch is living life day to day waiting to see if the comic can take off

Putney Bridge closes for repairs
A bridge over the Thames in south-west London has closed to all motor vehicle traffic as it undergoes repairs.
Putney Bridge closed earlier on Monday and is expected to reopen in October.
Wandsworth Council said the £1.5m repair programme had been backed by a "majority of residents and businesses" following a public consultation.
Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to use the bridge and buses will operate from both ends.
Drivers have been advised to change their route to avoid disruption.
Transport for London said bus passengers will have to cross the bridge on foot to continue their journey, but will not have to pay twice if their route was affected by the closure.
Wandsworth Council leader Ravi Govindia said: "These works are absolutely vital to protect the internal fabric of the bridge and ensure it lasts another 100 years.
"Our primary concern is to get this important job done efficiently and quickly so that there is the least amount of disruption to residents, businesses and the wider travelling public."
The council said it was decided the work would be carried out during the school holidays because traffic levels were at their lightest.

3D Fetal Heart Models are based on prenatal cardiac scans. They correspond with real ultrasound images, which are seen during a routine sweep through the fetal heart including four-chamber view, five-chamber view, three-vessel view, three-vessel and trachea view, and transverse aortic arch. Despite models presenting normal fetal hearts in transverse and sagittal views our project covers models of CHDs.
The project aims to shorten the learning curve of diagnosing fetal heart defects mainly by OB/GYN physicians, fetal medicine specialists, but also by pediatric cardiologists dealing with fetal heart examination.

Nigeria's 'Armsgate' scandal: Why have a slice when you can take the cake?
The 'conventional' understanding of corruption in arms procurement is that it takes the form of bribes or kickbacks.

Payments typically are channeled through […]Continue Reading →
Special Treatment: UK Government support for the arms trade and industry
We are pleased to draw to your attention a new report by Sam Perlo-Freeman, project manager for our program on the Global Arms Business and Corruption. The report, "Special Treatment: UK Government support for the arms trade and industry," was authored by Perlo-Freeman while he was at SIPRI, who describes it thus: "The arms industry and market, in the UK as in most other significant western arms-producing countries, has a unique status. Although its production capabilities are privately owned, it has the national government as its primary customer. Unlike other industries, especially in the 'Anglo-Saxon' economies, it is the subject of active government industrial policy."Continue Reading →

Last week, a bombing raid in Yemen by the Saudi-led coalition seeking to restore the government of President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, struck a funeral, killing 140 civilians. This is the latest in a series of outrages, well-documented by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the United Nations and others, whereby Saudi and allied forces have struck hospitals, schools, market-places and other civilian targets. Saudi-led bombing is believed to be responsible for the majority of civilian deaths in Yemen's bloody civil war.Continue Reading →

Distance runners need endurance to get them through a long run, but it takes time and commitment to build this crucial element. There are a few steps you can take, however, to boost your stamina even more and help you power through that extra mile. By incorporating one or more of these tricks, you can increase your endurance and fight off exhaustion during a long run.
Start Slowly
According to Jeff Rochford, a certified coach with the U.S. Track and Field Association, the key to building running endurance is to do it gradually. Beginners should use a plan that relies on running every other day, with several minutes of brisk walking at the beginning and end of each run. Try a six-week plan that starts with just five minutes of running. During weeks one and two, add one minute to each run so you are running for 12 minutes going into week three. In week three, tack on two extra minutes to each run, and add three minutes to your runs during week four. During weeks five and six add four minutes for every run. By the end of the six weeks, you will have gradually increased your endurance from five minutes to 64 minutes.
Run Hills
Instead of running on a flat surface, add some incline to your running workout to help boost your endurance. Like any alteration to your regular routine, hill running should be gradually incorporated so you're not doing too much too soon. Introduce these to your regular runs by adding a half-mile to one mile at a moderately steep incline to your run every two to three weeks. Keep the pace comfortable so you don't burn out, and gradually increase the distance of the hill segments.
Incorporate Plyometrics
Plyometrics, or jump training, is based on the notion that explosive movements and quick reactions can improve overall athleticism, including stamina. Activities like jumping, skipping and high-knee sprints can train your feet to spend less time on the ground, improving your stride and boosting your endurance. Incorporate plyometric training once or twice weekly by practicing fast feet runs, where you sprint 15 to 20 yards with a short, quick stride. You can also try five-minute segments of single- or double-leg hops or skipping.
Other Tricks
In addition to physical training, there are a couple of other unconventional tricks for boosting endurance that are worth mentioning. One of these that is done during hot, summer months is pre-cooling, which involves lowering your body's temperature prior to exercise. German researchers published findings in "Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise" that showed an average 3.7 percent increase in endurance due to pre-cooling, which can be achieved simply by sipping a cold drink and sitting in an air-conditioned room for 25 minutes prior to exercising. Another trick is to down beet juice shots, which are packed with inorganic nitrate, which can improve stamina.

It may be time to rethink that summer Hamptons rental — the Kardashians are coming to the East End.
E! on Wednesday announced another spinoff with the reality sisters called "Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons" that brings newly single Khloe, Kourtney and her baby daddy Scott Disick back to the Big Apple.
With sister Kim fresh off her Vogue cover, Kourtney and Khloe will look to up their own social status by opening Dash's first pop-up store in the Hamptons and relocate the Dash New York store to a new property.
The series is set to premiere this fall, meaning the Kardashians could presumably be filming in the posh vacation spot through Labor Day. Consider yourself warned, Hamptonites.

Another cool one by John + Mary Condon.
Love the tight Akzidenz.
This blind deboss would be even cooler if it matched the (upper- and lowercase) front and spine.
I woulda guessed '83, but this is ahead of it's time. And there's more info on the cover art than damn near every other book on here combined:
"The cover of this book is one of ten views of a kinetic painting, 'Pyramid', by Oliver Bevan. The painting is made of transparent materials which only assume colours when illuminated by polarized light. When the plane of polarization is rotated slowly (which happens mechanically in a box designed to display the painting) the colours pass through a recurring cycle of change. Ten points of that cycle have been recorded to provide covers for the third set of ten volumes."
Oddly, this is the Whitney Museum Library's old copy. From 1941.

Dry sparkling wine pairs well with a number of casual fun foods.
Try This
Try an exotic but simple combo of ruffled potato chips with a dab of caviar or a bite of freshly buttered popcorn. Take a small sip of wine and let it sit on your tongue. Bite into the chip or popcorn and take a second sip. Focus on the dry fruit flavor of the wine as it washes over the rich butter and salt from front to back on your palate. The carbonation and higher acid levels and yeast in the sparkling wine clean the salt from your palate and balance the richer flavors while adding more interesting textures and flavor nuances.
Better Yet
pair a dry sparkling wine with dark chocolate truffles (what doesn't go well with chocolate!) and be amazed at how both elements tease out delicate layers of flavor that expand and blossom in your mouth to create a rich, bright bold and altogether unexpected flavor profile. It's like having a party in your mouth!
Always Great With These:
Fresh strawberries, oysters in the half-shell, Pecorino Romano or any other hard salty cheese, blue cheese spread on sour dough bread garnished with a wedge of pear or carmelized onion. But, the best of all is a sweet passionate kiss from the one you love.

This Bodes Well
In six and a half hours I will be teaching Sunday School for the first time. I've got a really great lesson worked out.
So the school of thought would be that I should get a good night's sleep and awake refreshed. With that in mind I went to bed at 10:00. Which is like sundown in my world. Unfortunately allergies (mine and my dog's) caused me to be awake by 1:17. I got up, re-read my lesson and then decided to take a bath to unwind.
That was when (and where and how) the centipede bit me on the side of my left boob/breast/knocker/mammary gland/headlight/jug.
Can I just tell you that this sucker HURTS!?!? It feels sorta like a cross between a bee sting and a spider bite. I'm sure it'll be no big deal in the grand scheme of things. But when you're trying so hard to be your best and be bright and cheerful, having a painful welt in that location is not the happiest of coincidences.
The good news is that the centipede is d-e-d. Ded. The bad news is that it has totally killed the "kick back and relax in the tub" vibe I had going. And looking up "centipede bite" on the internet is just not a relaxing thing to do. Apparently there are giant centipedes in the tropical rainforests that kill small children. Since my stinger was about 2 inches long I don't think he fits the "giant" bill. And I myself am a fur piece away from small. Yet....

Hong Kong stocks were bumped lower on Thursday by another set of disappointing economic data from China, while Australian stocks rose on the back of strong employment numbers.
The Hang Seng Index lost 0.4% after news that China's industrial output rose by 8.6% on year over January and February, lower than an expected 9.5% expansion, and slower than December's 9.7% increase. Retail sales figures also undershot expectations with the measure growing 11.8% on-year in the first two month of the year. The data for the two months are released together to remove distortions related to the Lunar New Year holiday.
The most recent figures come just days after China released much weaker-than-expected trade data that showed a sharp slowdown in exports in February. This resulted in heavy selling in Asia on Monday and had a prolonged impact on sentiment, with another negative day on Wednesday.
The data also took the wind of the sails in Tokyo, where the Nikkei Stock Average ended the day down 0.1% at 14815.98 as the yen strengthened after the Chinese numbers were released. The dollar was trading at ¥102.61 compared with ¥102.75 late Wednesday in New York. In Singapore, the Straits Times Index was down 0.5%.
The Shanghai Composite Index however maintained its earlier gains and was last up 0.8%, as the market continued to bounce from bruising losses earlier in the week.
The S&P/ASX 200, which closed before the Chinese numbers, rose 0.5% to 5412.60 in Sydney and the Australian dollar rose to US$0.9048 late in Asia compared with US$0.8987 late Wednesday in New York, after news that the number of people employed in Australia rose by 47,300 in February -- much higher than expectations of a 15,000 increase.
Although the unemployment rate remained steady at 6%, a decade high, the market welcomed the increase in the number of full-time workers. Recent data out of Australia have been mixed with deteriorating business conditions and consumer sentiment even while house prices have been rising.
In Australia, large mining stocks picked up from losses earlier in the week that were caused by sharp falls in commodity prices. Rio Tinto rose by 2.7% and Fortescue Metals Group added 3%.
In corporate news, shares in Sunshine 100 China Holdings sank 21.8% on its debut on the Hong Kong stock exchange after the company raised $258 million in an IPO earlier this month. The real estate company had priced its offering at the low end of its price range. The real estate company has developed real estate projects in 16 cities in China.

Despite his status as an international superstar, Prince always maintained an air of mystery — even when it came to his diet.
In an essay for Food & Wine, Margaret Wetzler describes her whirlwind experience as the late musician's personal chef. Her story paints a picture of one of music's most elusive talents through the humanizing lens of food.
According to Wetzler, working for the legendary star came with all the quirks one would imagine. "You have to be on call 24-7. Oh and by the way – he's nocturnal," she recalls being told on the day she started.
RELATED: Alex Guarnaschelli Blogs: What It Was Like to Cook for Prince
"They had told me not to speak to Prince unless spoken to," she says, adding that she was charged with nearly impossible tasks like catering an English tea party with only an hour's notice.
"[He] had guests about every other night," Wetzler says, counting stars like Stevie Wonder, Salma Hayek, Ryan Seacrest, Orlando Bloom and Kristen Chenoweth among those who came in and out for dinner. "He kept a floor-to-ceiling stack of Jehovah's Witness Bibles and gave one to every guest."
Along with the eccentric demands and A-List parties, though, came a compassionate side. Wetzler describes the musician as "very polite and kind," constantly praising her food and introducing her to all of his guests.
WATCH THIS: How to Make Stuffed Breakfast Avocados
Perhaps most notably, though, her portrait paints a surprisingly human portrait of Prince: He made himself scrambled eggs in the morning. He watched American Idol and basketball. He was a pescetarian who loved Asian foods like pot stickers and teriyaki salmon.
RELATED: Michael Jackson's Former Personal Chef Dishes on the King of Pop's Quirky Eating Habits
Though Wetzler's time working for Prince was short (she quit because of the always-on-call schedule), her perspective provides a fascinating and rare insight into the icon's daily life.

Big and Little/Scenes. Play by Botho Strauss. Directed by Christopher Martin for CSC Repertory. The CSC Repertory has opened its new season with a new name. The initials that used to stand for Classic Stage Company now mean City Stage Company - a tribute to the troupe's metropolitan home, and an acknowledgment that its interest sometimes wanders far from established classics.
Its latest production is a case in point. ''Big and Little/Scenes'' comes from the contemporary West German playwright Botho Strauss, whose reputation has been steadily rising. First produced in 1978, the work has been presented throughout Europe. It made its New York bow in an abridged version four years ago. CSC is offering the English-language premiere of the complete text.
The heroine of ''Big and Little'' is a woman named Lotte, whom the play traces through a grueling physical and psychological journey. The action has no linear plot. Rather, its 10 scenes are like pieces of a puzzle, as CSC suggests in a program note. Although characters accompany Lotte on her odyssey - relatives, friends, strangers - they come and go like the elusive story itself, emerging for moments of crystal clarity before fading back into shadows of memory and mystery.
The trouble is, the ''puzzle'' doesn't add up to much. Some scenes have their own fascination, as Lotte delivers a lonely monologue in one called ''Morocco''; grapples with a boss in ''Dictation''; and sinks to a sad mental condition in ''In Society,'' among others. But momentum fades as each section ends, rarely resuming in time to sustain the evening's energy. It's three hours of bits and pieces that never overcome their deliberately fractured condition.
One reason ''Big and Little'' has been mounted so often, I suspect, is the lure for actresses in the meaty Lotte role - a part already filled by such strong performers as Glenda Jackson in a London production, Bulle Ogier in Paris , and Barbara Barrie in New York. In the CSC edition, Karen Sunde (long a mainstay of the troupe) gives the most vigorous and versatile performance I've yet seen from her, reaching heights of feeling even on the night I attended, when a minor injury had temporarily necessitated restraint in some of the show's most physically taxing moments. The rest of the cast supported her solidly under the crisp direction of CSC honcho Christopher Martin, who also designed the production and translated the text.
Like the last Strauss play to reach New York, the tendentious ''Three Acts of Recognition'' directed by Richard Foreman at the Public Theater, moments of ''Big and Little'' (called ''Gross und Klein'' in German) will linger in memory. I especially liked the long third scene, ''Ten Rooms,'' with its frantic motion from one setting to another, peppered with bizarre and even surreal details. But the play's journey is too bumpy for comfort, and even when the whole ''puzzle'' has passed before us, its messages don't justify the effort of piecing them together.
''Big and Little'' is now in repertory with CSC's intelligent and elaborate production of Goethe's ''Faust.'' Coming soon is ''Hamlet,'' to be followed by ''Baal,'' the first CSC excursion into Bertolt Brecht. Another show, not yet chosen, will wrap up the season.

Wisconsin roundup: Survey ranks state 16th-best overall; GOP senator questions immunity provision in Harsdorf heroin legislation; 9 more state news stories
Wisconsin is the 16th best state in the nation, according to an inaugural ranking from U-S News and World Report.
The magazine evaluated all 50 states in 68 categories ranging from crime to personal opportunity. Wisconsin's government scored the highest — the fifth best, mainly because it has long had the nation's lowest pension fund liabilities. The Badger State was ranked 10th for crime and corrections, but it ranks third worst for its equality in jailing juveniles.
Wisconsin also ranked 14th for opportunity, 17th for education, 21st for health care, 35th for its economy, and 37th for its infrastructure amid the debate at the State Capitol on how to pay for crumbling roads. Massachusetts is No. 1 in the first U.S. News rankings, and Louisiana is at the bottom.
GOP senator questions immunity provision in Harsdorf heroin legislation
MADISON — A Wisconsin Senate panel is hearing testimony on two of 11 bills aimed at fighting the state's growing problems of opioid and heroin abuse.
Saukville Republican Duey Strobel questioned one of the measures, which would guarantee that those who overdose on heroin would not face prosecution. The sponsor of that measure, River Falls Republican Sheila Harsdorf, says the legal protections would save lives.
But Strobel, who's on the Senate Judiciary panel which held the hearing, said prosecution should be considered for victims who carry large amounts of drugs. The bill would also prevent overdose victims from having their parole, probation, or extended supervision revoked. It's among the bills included in special session on opioid and heroin abuse that Gov. Scott Walker called earlier this year.
Vinehout opposes effort to dump state treasurer's office
MADISON — A Wisconsin Assembly committee is scheduled to vote Wednesday on dropping the State Treasurer's office.
A Senate panel voted 3-1 Tuesday for a constitutional amendment that passed both houses in the last session — and needs the same approvals this session before going to the voters in a statewide referendum. In recent years, lawmakers rejected calls to eliminate the treasurer's and secretary of state's offices — and instead, they virtually dropped all the duties of both and transferred them to other agencies.
That's got current Treasurer Matt Adamczyk conceding that his office is a waste of money — but former Public Lands Commissioner Tia Nelson says it has worked "remarkably well for 170 years." Senate Democrat Kathleen Vinehout of Alma, who voted against the amendment, says eliminating the treasurer is a "grave mistake."
Former Dane County DA challenger files suit against incumbent
MADISON — A former Dane County prosecutor who ran unsuccessfully against his boss last summer has filed a federal lawsuit.
Former assistant district attorney Bob Jambois says his free speech rights were violated when DA Ismael Ozanne and three of his staffers retaliated for saying negative things about Jambois during last year's primary campaign. The lawsuit alleges that Jambois' schedule got unfairly jammed up after he lost the August primary, saying he had 31 jury trials set in a two month time period — and the lawsuit says the caseload was "without parallel in the DA's office."
Jambois, a former Kenosha County DA and state attorney, says he was forced to retire last fall due to the burdens put on him. Ozanne says he doesn't believe he did anything wrong, but he has not seen the lawsuit.
High rate of flu symptoms closes southeast Wisconsin school
HARTLAND — Students and staffers at an elementary school in Hartland will stay home Wednesday, while a cleaning crew disinfects the building after a high rate of illness.
Lake Country School had about one fifth of its 502 students home Tuesday — generally with flu like symptoms, plus some strep throat cases. About one-quarter of the school's staff was also absent. The school met with medical experts and Waukesha County officials before deciding to shut down the building. Classes are expected to resume Thursday, but a second grade field trip to Chicago remains in doubt.
Madison police investigate gas station murder
MADISON — Police are looking for suspects and a motive in the shooting death of one person at a gas station overnight in the state's capitol city.
Officers were called about 2:10 a.m. to a station on Madison's northeast side. WKOW-TV says they found shell casings, and learned later that the possible victim tried driving away but crashed the vehicle near a Comfort Inn hotel. That's where the person was found dead. Other details were not immediately released.
Wisconsin defense contractors look to gain from Trump budget
President Donald Trump tells Congress he wants one of the largest defense spending hikes in United States history, and that could bode well for Wisconsin's military equipment suppliers.
The state's "prime" contractors received $3.75 billion in federal business last year, 11 percent more than the previous year. Aina Vilumsons, who heads the Wisconsin Procurement Institute, says the increase in defense contracts was due largely to more vehicles from the Oshkosh Corporation. One big question mark is whether Trump will favor the continued building of Navy littoral combat ships at Marinette Marine — but the president notes that a "depleted" military needs to be rebuilt. The Republican Trump also cited other parts of his national agenda in his Tuesday night speech, calling for American made infrastructure improvements and large tax cuts.
Lieutenant governor dropped as juror in murder trial
WAUKESHA — Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch answered a call to jury duty, where she was stricken as a potential juror in a major homicide trial.
Kleefisch says she knew about the case of Amy Van Wagner, who's accused of killing her husband in their Oconomowoc home in 2015 — but Kleefisch said she didn't know in advance she'd be called to that particular trial. Had she been chosen, it would have put a crimp into her political activities, since the trial is scheduled to run for three weeks in Waukesha County.
The judge said Kleefisch's campaign donations to the county district attorney could have raised questions about a possible bias. A final jury was picked late Tuesday, and opening arguments begin Wednesday in the case of the 53-year-old Van Wagner — who's accused of shooting her 50-year-old husband Stanley to death and hiding his body.
Dead coyotes piled up in ditches near Shiocton
SHIOCTON — A retired state conservation warden has spotted two piles of dead coyotes left along roadsides near Shiocton in northeast Wisconsin.
Mike Young told WBAY-TV the animal dumping is a malicious waste of natural resources, and a "black eye" to all hunters. Young says he spotted a pile of dead coyotes Tuesday along a rural road south of Shiocton, after seeing another pile last week on a road about one mile away. The DNR is investigating, and Young says the worst thing is the image the dead animals portray. Young says coyote hides are worth about $30 each, even though fur prices have fallen — and if people don't want to make the effort to take care of the hides, "they shouldn't be out hunting."
State Supreme Court denies DNA testing in 1982 homicide
MADISON — The state Supreme Court says a man convicted in a decades-old homicide isn't entitled to DNA testing.
Police found Christopher Mohr dead in Grafton in 1982. A jury eventually convicted Jeffrey Denny and his brother, Kent, of killing Mohr. They were sentenced to life in prison. Jeffrey Denny filed a motion in 2014 seeking DNA testing of evidence from the scene.
A judge denied the motion but a state appeals court reversed him last year. A divided Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the judge correctly denied the testing request, saying the evidence against Jeffrey Denny was extensive and the idea that DNA tests might cause investigators or a jury to reject that evidence is just conjecture.

WHITEFISH BAY — Wisconsin lawmakers are lending support following threats targeting a Jewish community center in Whitefish Bay and around the country.
A group that included U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Congressman Glenn Grothman paid a visit to the Harry and Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center Monday. The center was evacuated last week when a bomb threat was called in. Baldwin said we must all stand up and speak out against anti-Semitism.

Putting It Down in Words:
Dance Theatre Journal Writing On Performance Conference
by Rosella Simonari
March 31 - April 1, 2007 -- Laban, London, UK
What is the language used to talk about performance? Who writes it? For whom is it written? Where is it published? How does performance engage with writing? These and other questions were the basis of a two-day conference organised by Dance Theatre Journal in collaboration with BBCF (Bonnie Bird Choreography Fund) and ADAD (the Association of Dance of the African Diaspora). As Martin Hargreaves, editor of Dance Theatre Journal explained, the reasons that led him to organise this event were multiple and had to do with meeting the readers of his journal, raising its profile and stimulating the debate on this issue. The conference was divided into four sessions, two each day. It also offered the opportunity to see two very different performances, "Climbing with Bare Feet" by Adesola Akinleye and the UK premiere of Raimund Hoghe's "Swan Lake, 4 Acts".
The first session offered two parallel choices: focusing on the basis of criticism, a practical session led by Thom Shaw and Katie Phillips, or searching for sources, organised by the staff of the Laban library and archive. The second session was titled "Dance, Diversity and the Language of Criticism" and it came after "Climbing with Bare Feet", Akinleye's performance in the Studio Theatre. Inspired by Ralph Ellison's novel "Invisible Man", the piece features two male dancers, Sean Graham and Daniel Baird, fighting against invisibility. They "represent the man's mind in its fight for identity against projection". A long piece of veiled fabric is placed along a diagonal across the space of the stage. As Akinleye explained, it embodies prejudice and symbolises a kind of barrier at the beginning of the piece. The two dancers seem unable to move beyond it. Once they do move to the other side, we see that little by little the fabric becomes a kind of prison for them, as it assumes a narrow v-shape position. The dancers often move at a low level following upside down positions. They sometimes dance fighting duets, sometimes just solo phrases. The piece also benefits from a complex set of visual effects such as the words projection on the transparent fabric at the beginning of the choreography or the video projection of the two men dancing towards the end.
After the performance a discussion was led by Alessandra Lopez y Royo from Pulse magazine in conjunction with Akinleye herself and Akosus Boakye from ADAD. Such questions as "How do we engage with African Dance in a globalised world? How important is the knowledge of the context of a work? And how do we address diversity?" were at the center of the discussion which in some instances was too much rooted in the specificity of African Dance, thus preventing the development of the debate towards other more general issues.
The late afternoon was left free for people to relax and elaborate more on the two sessions. Then the UK premiere of Raminund Hoghe's "Swan Lake, 4 Acts" was presented at the Bonnie Bird Theatre at Laban. It was a real challenge for those used to 'dancing dance' and even for those who are not too used to attending performances in general. Characterised by a series of walks performed by Hoghe and a slow paced rhythm, it stages "a dream of love" through a series of memories and fragmented, subtle phrases from the adapted piece. The music is by Tchaïkovsky as conducted by Leonard Bernstein, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Pierre Monteux and others. Diversity plays a fundamental role in Hoghe's pieces and this is no exception. As a small man with what is commonly called a 'non-normative' body shape due to a pronounced curvature of his back, he "refuses to apologise for putting his body on stage" as Dominic Johnson has highlighted. As such, he represents a radical break with the aesthetics of the 'perfect' body shape that characterises the history of dance.
He recalls the example of another non-normative body, that of Dixie FunLee Shulman who as a robust dancer, has created works such as "The Thinnest Woman Wins", which challenge the criteria of beauty in Western Society. Hoghe often turns his back to the audience so that it must confront his divergence,and isolation from the other dancers who perform little arm movements reminiscent of "Swan Lake". He enters into physical contact with Lorenzo De Brabandere; they exchange t-shirts and recurrently stand facing one another. One of the most intense moments occurs when they put one arm on the other's shoulder: It is intimate and tender. The climax of the piece takes place towards the end when Hoghe completely undresses himself and lies on the stage floor back center. In keeping with what Hoghe's himself has indicated, some saw the influence of Franko B in his dramatic gesture. The naked body becomes a kind of surface, a canvas, in Franko B's words, where pain, love and loss are articulated together with a sense of vulnerability. In Hoghe, vulnerability is paired with a tenderness and eroticism that especially emerge in his movement dynamic with Lorenzo De Brabandere.
The next morning, the participants to the conference had the chance to talk with Hoghe, who explained some of his ideas and methodologies during the fourth session, titled "Texts in Performance". Hoghe is interested in "the memory of the dancers' body" and that is why he asked his dancers to trace the movements they remembered from the classic version of "Swan Lake". This is mainly made evident by Ornella Ballestra, the only woman in the work and a ballet trained dancer, who also performs a phrase en pointe. During his research on "Swan Lake", he watched a very old Russian movie of the ballet and was impressed by its freshness. Compared to it, he found all the other versions boring. Other speakers in this sessions included Wendy Houston, Rajni Shah and Simon Vincenzi, who spoke about the texts used in their performances. Houston focused on her 'resistance to words' and her 'battle with gravity', Shah on her latest work, "Mr. Quiver", a four hours long performance where the audience is free to come and go at any time and Vincenzi talked about his experience of creating a performance for a set audience, in this case, children.
The third session, just before that one, presented yet another way to look at the issue of writing on performance, hosting a group of people from Live Art UK. Its coordinator, Emmy Minton, explained the growth and development of Live Art UK, a platform for venues and facilitators whose aim is to promote live art events. Among their initiatives there has been a writing project to stimulate the production of reviews and other written material related to live art. This session was the most spirited of them all, and questions addressing topics such as the character of mainstream publications, the boundary between criticism and academic writing and the necessity to invest in audience education for these cutting edge events were raised. As Martin Hargreaves highlighted in the afternoon plenary session, in many cases the conference trended toward performance rather than writing, leaving some of the opening questions under-considered. Among them, was the notion of dance writing as "an art form of its own", a point underscored by Maggie Morris, Chair of the Bonnie Bird Choreography Fund, who had spoken before the opening sessions on Saturday. As she said, quoting Joseph Conrad, dance writing relies on "the power of the written word to make you…see".

It is a beautiful image of White Buffalo Woman. The framing was done well. I am disappointed that the upper right side (background) of the image is much darker then what was on my monitor. I found that it takes away from the beautiful flowing dark hair of White Buffalo Woman. It would have been spectacular if the background was lighter. For this, I am somewhat disappointed.

Oxord, Miss.
Oprah Winfrey recently challenged her extensive fan base to read a collection of works by Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner by declaring them as the summer selection for her popular book club.
"If you have not read this author, you cannot say you have been baptized as a real reader," she said.
Winfrey's June 3 endorsement catapulted Faulkner back onto bestseller lists. The coup is welcomed by Faulkner scholar Donald Kartiganer, director of the annual Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference, coming up July 24-28 at the University of Mississippi.
"Oprah's recommendation (of As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury and Light in August) will get a lot of people to try Faulkner, and many will be delightfully surprised," said Kartiganer, UM's Howry Professor of Faulkner Studies. "Faulkner's fiction is not easy, but I think his reputation frightens people into assuming he's more difficult than he actually is."
I still don't quite know how it happened but Caddy told me, "Go on, Bill, you should go on that woman Oprah's show. You're so not past because the past is never past. It's now! She'll bring back your books. All she has to do is say the word and they'll be in all the stores and her TV watchers will buy half a million copies. Ain't that a laugh! You been dead fifty years and a television personality snaps her fingers and you're a bestselling author like Stephen King. In Oxford people always called you Count No-Count, even after you won the Nobel Prize, but now that you're going on Oprah they'll change their minds. Now go enjoy yourself–and don't drink too much!"
(I think of Caddy's dirty drawers.)
Versh and Dilsey carry me to the airport in Versh's new Buick and put me on the plane and Versh says, "Hush, stop your snifflin', Bill." And Dilsey says, "I'll wipe his nose. Now don't you get into no mischief up north, hear?" They let me out at the airport and I get on the plane and sit back and open my flask for a nip…
I come to with a dry flask and a headache when we land in Chicago and manage to make it to the terminal, where I spot a young woman holding up a sign saying: WILLIAM FAULKNER. OPRAH SHOW
I go over and introduce myself and she says, "I'm Avis Davis. Oh, It's so scary to meet one of our greatest dead American authors. I read you in college and never did understand it even though I was an English major. Mr. Faulkner, are you all right? Why you look pale as a ghost."

Ghaziabad: A District Court has rejected an
application of Utsav Sharma, who assaulted Aarushi`s father
Rajesh Talwar, saying that he is feigning mental illness to
seek relief.
District and Session Judge Vishnu Chand Gupta rejected
his application yesterday.
Utsav`s case was referred by the jail doctors during his
detention after he assaulted Aarushi`s father Rajesh Talwar
outside a district court here on Jan 25.
During his detention of 57 days, he behaved like a
mentally disturbed person whereas Chief Judicial Magistrate D
D Ojha found him normal during the interrogation.
Ojha had rejected Utsav`s application which he forwarded
at the district Court.
He was released on bail granted by the Allahabad High
Court in March.

Apple Inc. has reportedly snagged one of the top data center experts on the planet, and the company did its recruiting in Redmond. Data Center Knowledge reported that Apple recruited one Kevin Timmons, former general manager of Datacenter Services from Microsoft. The site confirmed with Microsoft that the executive has left, but only unnamed industry sources would say that he has left for the sunnier confines of Cupertino.
"Kevin Timmons, general manager of Datacenter Services, has decided to pursue other career opportunities and is no longer working at Microsoft," Dayne Sampson, CVP of Global Foundation Services for Microsoft, said in a statement. "We appreciate the contributions he made to Microsoft during his time here."
Mr. Timmons will reportedly not be filling Apple's top data center executive position, at least according to unnamed sources who spoke with Dave Ohara. Mr. Ohara said that while that top spot was left vacant by the untimely death of Olivier Sanche in late 2010, it has since been filled, and no one seems to yet know what Mr. Timmons's title and responsibilities will be.
Some smart conjecture, however, looks first to his known skill set, which is building data centers, as opposed to necessarily running them. This suggests that Mr. Timmons will be doing something similar at Apple, which ties in nicely with a recent analyst report that said Apple was in the process of building many data centers in the U.S. and Europe that are similar to its new digs in North Carolina.
For those looking to spice up this story, there's also Apple's new job posting that talks about a "small team" of engineers that will be, "writing the software [that] forms the foundation for some of our most exciting new products and services."
It doesn't take an HP-15C to make all that add up to Apple being very serious about its future in cloud services.

Sheffield rumbled with the sound of dozens of bikers as they celebrated the life of one of their own.
It was hard to miss the last ride of Walkley man Brian Senior, as his coffin was taken by sidecar from Hillsborough to his final resting place at Hutcliffe Wood by a procession of friends on various bikes.
Brian, who died in May of multiple system atrophy aged 66, and his late wife Susan were both passionate bikers, and were well known in Sheffield and further afield.
"It was amazing to see the support," said daughter Debbie Irving. "I'm so proud of all those bikers."
Brian was born and raised in Sheffield, and was a steelworker before he was forced to retired because of his condition. He was a big family man and had two children, Debbie and Michael.
Debbie said: "He was a lovely man. He was a very kind person.
"My kids used to call him 'grumpy grandad' but he was anything but."
Brian and Susan's passion for bikes would take them all over the country. They were a big part of the biker scene and were well known.
Sadly, Brian's diagnosis with multiple system atrophy, known as MSA, affected his riding. The rare degenerative neurologic condition has similarities with Parkinson's disease, and gradually affects motor functions.
"He lost his confidence on bikes because his balance started going," said Debbie. "He still had a trike through his last days though."
Susan died six years ago, leaving a big hole in Brian's life.
Debbie said: "My dad never really got over her passing away. They were a close couple. They were both bikers together -–it was a shared passion."
Leading the bikers was Dave Westray. Known as 'cowboy', he was one of Brian's closest friends and together they set up the Independent Bikers group.
"It was a bit upsetting because he was one of my best mates," said Dave. "But the lads came out for him and gave him a good send-off."
Brian was a 'good old-fashioned biker' and 'old school', according to his friend of 20 years. And although he struggled to ride during his final years, he was still a big part of the community.
"The Independent Bikers group is a community. It's family-oriented," said Dave.
"We meet every Wednesday. Brian was always a big figure in the group. We are a very close-knit family."

Three Clarkson Students Receive Scholarships From National Starch and Chemical Company
Three Clarkson University Chemical Engineering undergraduates were recently awarded scholarships totaling $3,000 by the National Starch and Chemical Company, a global specialty chemical manufacturer based in Bridgewater, N.J.
Sophomore Elizabeth Schongar (Troy, N.Y.) and juniors Bryan Beckingham (Holley, N.Y.) and Andrew Maslyn (Rochester, N.Y.) were each awarded $1,000 for their outstanding scholastic achievement.
"The scholarships are well-merited and the students receiving them are very deserving," said Associate Professor and Associate Chair of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Richard J. McCluskey. "These students have outstanding academic records and bright futures ahead of them."
The National Starch and Chemical Company is a leading manufacturer of adhesives; specialty synthetic polymers; electronic and engineering materials; and specialty food, healthcare and industrial starches.
"The company is a strong supporter of our students and our programs here at Clarkson," added McCluskey. "They have provided scholarships to outstanding students at Clarkson for the past several years and actively recruit our graduates."
Along with providing scholarships to recognize outstanding students in the chemical and biomolecular engineering undergraduate programs, the National Starch and Chemical Company also provides financial support to the Clarkson student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in a case involving the emotionally wrenching issue of doctor-assisted suicide for terminally ill patients.
At issue is a law in the western state of Oregon, the only state that allows terminally ill people to ask their doctors to prescribe a lethal dose of drugs.
Since 1997 when Oregon's Death With Dignity Act took effect, 208 people have requested medical help to end their lives.
Charlene Andrews may add her name to that list one day. She is dying from cancer and says she values the option of choosing when to end her life.
"I know when all of my treatment options have been exhausted. Having the choice gives me comfort. It is just knowing that there is an option, knowing there is a choice," she said.
The case before the Supreme Court is likely to hinge on the more narrow legal question of whether the power to regulate physician-assisted suicide rests with the federal government or the individual states.
In 2001, then Attorney General John Ashcroft decided that the use of lethal drugs to help people in Oregon end their lives was a violation of federal drug laws. The Bush administration also argues that assisted suicide is incompatible with a doctor's role as a healer.
State officials in Oregon argue that the federal government has overstepped its authority.
Mary Williams was among those arguing on behalf of the state of Oregon before the Supreme Court.
"Nowhere did Congress say that they wanted to make that kind of transformation of power from the states regulating medical practice to the U.S. Attorney General regulating medical practice," said Ms. Williams.
The assisted suicide law first won public approval in Oregon in 1994 by a narrow 51 percent majority. Sixty percent of voters rejected an attempt to repeal the law three years later.
A number of right to life groups support the Bush administration's effort to stop doctor-assisted suicides in Oregon.
The issue often generates fierce debate on television and radio call-in programs.
"First and foremost, I do not think we have a constitutional right to murder ourselves. I have yet to find it anywhere in the Bill of Rights," said a listener.
Diane Coleman is with a group that opposes the Oregon law called Not Dead Yet. She says the states should be not in the business of encouraging sick people to end their lives.
"And instead of discouraging you and telling you how valuable your life is, we are going to agree with you and make sure you do not mess it up. We are going to give you the means to do it," she added. "That is a very dangerous message to people who have severe impairments, whether they are terminal or not."
Supporters of the Oregon law counter that it should be up to those who are terminally ill to decide when to ask for help to end their lives.
"A fraction of dying patients, even with excellent pain and symptom management, face a dying process that is so prolonged and marked by such extreme deterioration and suffering that for them having the choice for a peaceful and humane death on their own time, on their own terms, is the least worst alternative," added Kathryn Tucker, who is with a national group called Compassion and Choices.
In 1997, the Supreme Court found that terminally ill people do not have a constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide. But the court also gave states the option to experiment with the issue.
The case is considered the first major issue to come before the high court under the leadership of new Chief Justice John Roberts, who replaced the late William Rehnquist.
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling in this latest assisted suicide case sometime in the next few months.
