On August 23, 2011, Matador will be releasing 'Mirror Traffic', the 5th post-Pavement album from Stephen Malkmus and the 3rd or 4th to bear the Jicks name (depending on whether you're looking at spines, sleeves or labels). Produced by Beck Hansen, 'Mirror Traffic' makes a compelling case that after some 22 years in the public eye, Stephen Malkmus' full range of musical and lyrical capabilities had yet to be previously explored. The casual virtuosity (and staggering guitar invention) won't necessarily come as a shock, nor will the rapier wit of one of contemporary rock's brightest minds. But without dissing prior works that we deeply love, we can promise that 'Mirror Traffic' is the album that ties together Stephen's skill-set like none of its predecessors. The recording is nothing short of gorgeous, the songs crackling with confidence. Calling this an album of the year candidate is really selling the record and the talented ensemble behind it short — what's so special about this year, anyway?
It is with regret — and deep appreciation for one of our favorite players of all-time — that we can confirm 'Mirror Traffic' is the final Jicks album to feature the drumming of Janet Weiss. Jake Morris, best known to many of you as the drummer for The Joggers, will assume the same position in the Jicks for upcoming shows, which we'll be announcing very soon. We'll also get on with the business of previewing an MP3 from 'Mirror Traffic' on a date in the very near future.

NORTON, Mass. – Wheaton College Interim Director of Athletics John Sutyak '00 has announced the hiring of Barrett Roberts '07 as head men's and women's swimming & diving coach. Roberts replaces Jean-Paul Gowdy, who resigned in May after eight seasons at the helm of the programs.
"We are thrilled to welcome Barrett back home to Wheaton," said Sutyak. "Barrett was the epitome of a scholar-athlete, one who was equally as impressive in the classroom as he was in the pool. He helped put our swimming & diving teams on the map both in New England and nationally, and I look forward to him continuing that tradition as the leader of our men's and women's programs."
Roberts returns to Norton after spending the 2010-11 season as a graduate assistant coach at New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) rival Springfield College. With his assistance, the Pride established nine school records and three NEWMAC records this past season. Roberts also saw seven of his student-athletes post national qualifying performances, four post All-America performances, and one post an All-America honorable mention performance.
"I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to come back to Wheaton and coach a group of student-athletes who excel in the pool as well as the classroom," said Roberts, who was responsible for coaching Springfield's sprint group, designing dry-land and lifting programs for the squad, and home meet management duties. "Wheaton's swimmers and divers have always been exceptionally motivated individuals, and I look forward to working with the team as we strive to win our first NEWMAC championship."
Prior to his appointment at Springfield, Roberts spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Tufts University (2008-10), helping the Jumbos score nine All-America performances during that span. He also spent two years as a waterfront and aquatics director at Camp All-Star (2005-07).
As an undergraduate at Wheaton, Roberts was a standout swimmer for the Lyons, earning All-America honors three times (2005-07) and NEWMAC Swimmer of the Year accolades in 2006. He was a three-year co-captain who earned College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Scholar All-America honors in 2004 and 2005. As a senior, Roberts took home the Linda Frances Epstein Award and the Outstanding Male Athlete Award. The Epstein Award is presented to a graduating senior who embodies respect for and commitment to the traditions of Wheaton in the achievement of academic excellence and dedicated performance in athletics.
"Barrett's time at both Tufts and Springfield, coupled with his experience here at Wheaton, make him an ideal candidate in continuing to recruit and retain high level student-athletes who will help us achieve our goal of winning NEWMAC championships," added Sutyak.
Roberts, who left Norton with a bachelor's of arts degree in economics and political science after graduating magna cum laude, is currently working toward earning his master's degree in physical education from Springfield. Concentrating in athletic administration, he is set to graduate next May.
Wheaton is a selective national liberal arts college with 1,550 students drawn from every state and nearly 70 countries.The college distinctive liberal arts curriculum emphasizes the connections among the academic disciplines in the arts and sciences and between scholarship and contemporary concerns - through internships, jobs and volunteer service - to help students make the connection between theory and practice. Since 2000, more than 130 Wheaton students have won prestigious scholarship awards, including three Rhodes, nine Truman and more than 150 Fulbright scholarships.

William Huskisson (1770-1830)
John Gibson, RA 1790-l866
Pimlico Gardens, off Grosvenor Rd, London SW1
Another of Gibson's classically draped marble statues, this one in a little Thames-side park shows the statesman William Huskisson in a Roman senator's robes and a deeply thoughtful pose. Sir Robert Peel, who had been present when Huskisson was fatally injured by a train at the ceremonial opening of the Liverpool to Manchester railway, thought the sculptor had endowed his subject with an unmerited air of grandeur by portraying him like this. Gibson, however, responded: "I fancy 150 years hence people will not complain of that" (qtd. in Read 173). As Benedict Read goes on to point out, this just shows Gibson's attitude as a neo-classical sculptor who "aimed at presenting an image worthy virtually of eternity." Such an attitude, says Read, was "certainly still current " at this time (173-4). Unfortunately, though, one cannot count on appealing to later generations. In the next century Osbert Sitwell described the statue facetiously in terms of "Boredom rising from the bath" (qtd. in Baker 33).

Rep. Larry Taylor report cites 'bleeding of TWIA ratepayers'
State Rep. Larry Taylor (R-Friendswood) made national news late last month when he released a report stating that since Hurricane Ike struck the Texas Gulf Coast more than four years ago, the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) has paid out more than $1.2 billion dollars on individually litigated claims related to the disaster.
Taylor's report alleged "troubling legal settlement patterns" and detailed what he described as "staggering litigation expenses on the part of TWIA."
Rep. Taylor requested the information in the report from the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) in preparation for an upcoming hearing of the TWIA Legislative Oversight Board on November 1, 2012.
The information provided by TDI reveals an additional $1.2 billion dollars spent on Hurricane Ike litigated claims since the previously reported class action settlement for slab claims. This figure represents almost half of the $2.5 billion total estimated loss.
Taylor, co-chair of the Oversight Board, said, "Sept. 13, 2012 marked the four-year anniversary of Hurricane Ike, yet TWIA continues to pay out tens of millions of dollars and plaintiff attorneys continue to solicit additional lawsuits. Coastal residents deserve to know how their dollars are being spent. I intend to get answers at the upcoming hearing because this natural disaster has turned into a man-made disaster with serious repercussions."
Attorney Steve Mostyn, who represented many of the TWIA policyholders who took the agency to court, took sharp exception to the Taylor Report.
"State Rep. Larry Taylor and I agree on one thing — TWIA has paid out too much money in lawsuits," said Mostyn, who offered a different explanation for the legal mess described by Taylor.
"As a Texas trial lawyer, I have represented thousands of families, businesses, nonprofits and churches. Hard working folks like Steve Quibodeaux, a small business owner in Bridge City, and Pastor William King III of the Greater Missionary New Hope Baptist Church in Dickinson. Mr. Quibodeaux and Pastor King are Texas Windstorm Insurance Association policyholders who paid their insurance premiums to TWIA diligently for years. In return, they expected that if they needed to file a claim, they would get paid fully and promptly, as the law requires. That was the deal they made with TWIA," said Mostyn.
Mostyn agreed there was abuse but laid that squarely at TWIA's doorstep.
"Over the past three years, it has been well-documented that TWIA didn't pay claims according to the law or its contracts. Instead, TWIA engaged in claims-handling abuses from the top down, devastating the very coastal communities that TWIA is supposed to serve. The Texas Department of Insurance even found TWIA to be 'in a condition that makes its continuation in business hazardous to the public or to its policyholders,'" observed Mostyn.
Taylor sought to lay the blame elsewhere. His report said there are more than 300 plaintiff law firms with Hurricane Ike litigation claims in Texas, but a small cadre of 10 law firms has handled more than 74 percent of TWIA litigated claims.
Taylor said, "The bleeding of TWIA ratepayers has got to stop, and it's time TWIA management explains exactly how they've been running their business since Hurricane Ike devastated Texas. The payout patterns don't make sense, the exorbitant costs are atrocious and the abuse of the public trust is at an end."
Mostyn decries "insurance propagandists (who) continue to blame TWIA's policyholders for the current financial mess. But the fact is that customers did nothing wrong. They paid insurance premiums for years, and filed claims with TWIA after their lives were turned upside down by Hurricane Ike – and then by TWIA. After filing their claims, these families were dragged through a nightmare of bad-faith claims handling by an insurance company run by inept leadership and corrupt claims management. After years of litigation, TWIA was shown to have underpaid thousands of customers."
It is clear that Mostyn believes the ""insurance propagandists" include Taylor.
"It is absurd for (Taylor) to feign outrage about TWIA's recent rate hike and say he doesn't 'want to pay for the mistakes of the prior management' without disclosing his own role in this mess," said Mostyn. "It was his legislation that allows TWIA to hike its rates 5 percent every year without first getting approval from the insurance commissioner."
Mostyn wasn't through with Taylor.
"Curiously missing from Rep. Taylor's comments on TWIA's finances is the agent commissions paid on TWIA policies – 16 percent rather than the industry norm of 8 percent. In 2010, TWIA paid its agents commissions totaling $57 million. Taking off the 100 percent bonus to insurance agents would save policyholders around $27 million, year after year. But you won't hear insurance agent Larry Taylor suggesting this simple solution – reducing his commission down to the industry standard in order to save his constituents millions of dollars."
One place where these issues were not raised was in the recent campaign. Taylor just won the Texas Senate seat in District 11 vacated by long-time senator Mike Jackson, who gave it up to make an unsuccessful bid for Congress. Taylor faced underfunded Democratic candidate Jacqueline Acquistapace and won easily.
This assumes greater importance because of another obstacle to meaningful reform that doesn't punish coastal counties – state Insurance Commissioner Eleanor Kitzman, a recent Perry appointee whose TWIA policy prescription consists mainly of huge rate hikes for coastal businesses and residents. When Charlie Zahn, a Port of Corpus Christi commissioner who chairs the Coastal Windstorm Task Force, called on the Texas Senate to reject Kitzman when she comes up for confirmation, even coastal senators were reluctant to commit. Taylor told the Business Journal he had not decided how he would vote on Kitzman. Sen. Tommy Williams was also noncommittal but noted he normally votes to confirm Perry appointees.

Sorry, there are no cars that match your search
Sorry, there are no cars that match your search
A Mini for men is the pitch behind the launch of the Paceman. To date, especially in Australia, the buyer base for the Brit-built cars has skewed in favour of the femmes.
The Paceman - essentially a two-door, four-seat Countryman with a lower ride height and sportier suspension - is designed to change that with more aggressive bodywork. But there's another agenda at work here and it's dragging the romanticism of the Mini brand down to the bottom line.
This, the seventh body style for the brand, embodies the beancounters' formula for building cars: take a proven product and wring every last derivative from it. That competence-driven approach makes economic sense ... but Mini is supposed to be about emotion and the Paceman leaves me feeling jaded.
An estimated starting price of $36,000 for the base Cooper model will lift to around $45K for the turbocharged Cooper S Carsguide tested in the hills of Mallorca. A John Cooper Works version is in the works, but I'd save the cash and stick with the S - it already has enough urge to hit 100km/h in 7.5 seconds.
Standard gear runs from a typically sound audio system to satnav and switchgear that feels as solid as it looks. There's a pair of diesels in the form of a 1.6-litre D and 2.0-litre SD, but they weren't available for the international launch on the backroads of Mallorca.
There's nothing radical here in the mechanicals or the software. Been there, driven that. So it's good, just not new. The turbo four-cylinder is as punchy as you can ask it to be and still runs on very little petrol. The diesel will be better still in terms of fuel use.
The taillights are a dead giveaway you are following a Mini Paceman, rather than anything else in the family. The horizontal design is a first for Mini and helps differentiate this car from the Countryman.
That tapering roofline means rear-seat headroom is marginal and those of 180cm-plus stature may find themselves in need of a neck massage if ensconced in the back for too long. Leg room is good, though, so it may fulfil Mini's aim of getting people to move up from a regular hatch as the little one's get bigger.
They'll need to be big enough to do up their own seatbelts, though, or mum/dad are going to do their back in trying to stretch that far. The more masculine look works well, with the front and back having a more unshaven edge than most Minis.
The Countryman's a five-star proposition, so there's every reason to expect the Paceman to follow the same route.
Competent without being poised, the Paceman faithfully reflects its parentage. It doesn't go as hard or corner as well as the smaller, more Mini-esque hatch but it dumps on the more upright Countryman. That's what comes with lowering the ride height by 40mm and stiffening up the springs.
Push hard and the Paceman wants to push through the corner rather than go around it but it's testament to the chassis that a slight lift in accelerator pressure has the car back on track with very little fuss. The S version is no slouch, with a 7.5-second time to 100km/h and there's very little evidence of the body roll that can be found on the edge in the Countryman.
Rear seat access isn't ideal, with a big step needed to clear the door sill on exit. The front seats don't look that well bolstered but still manage to keep occupants in place even at silly speeds.
The Paceman is not the pacesetter Mini is hoping for. Dynamically, it's not as good a drive as the hatch, which admittedly sets a high benchmark. That leaves practicality … and the Countryman's extra doors give it the edge there. So it's a niche model in a growing family of nice niches. As such, it's not going to dramatically grow the brand.

Johnny Lewis of 'Sons of Anarchy' dead, suspect in woman's death
LOS ANGELES - Court records show "Sons of Anarchy" actor Johnny Lewis was released from jail a week before being found dead in his driveway after police say he apparently killed his landlady.
Los Angeles police said Thursday that the 28-year-old Lewis is the only suspect in the death of 81-year-old Catherine Davis, who was discovered slain inside the hillside home in Los Feliz.
Authorities say they are investigating Davis' death and that it appears she was beaten. They say the actor died Wednesday after climbing atop the home and either jumping or falling to the ground.
Lewis played Kip "Half-Sack" Epps in the FX show.
According to records, Lewis pleaded no contest to assault with a deadly weapon and attempted burglary this year.
He spent time at a drug- and psychiatric-treatment center, and he was released from county jail Sept. 21.
Lewis' attorney Jonathan Mandel said Thursday he was "surprised" and "baffled" by the deaths.
Mandel declined to immediately comment on Lewis's criminal history or possible drug problems pending consideration of client confidentiality requirements.
Before Lewis was discovered Wednesday morning, neighbors reported hearing a woman screaming in the home, said Los Angeles Police Cmdr. Andrew Smith.
Neighbors also told authorities that a man had jumped a fence, assaulted a painter and homeowner next door and jumped back.
It's unclear whether drugs or alcohol were involved, Smith said.
Lewis had a career spanning more than a decade, mainly in small roles. He played Ricky in the 2007 movie "AVPR: Aliens vs Predator — Requiem" and was Dennis 'Chili' Childress for two seasons on TV's "The O.C."
His role in "Sons of Anarchy" came in 2008 and 2009.

There are costs to maintaining and fully supporting technologies. For every dollar of software or hardware that is purchased, there are additional dollars that must be committed to implementation and ongoing support. Most organizations have lists of "supported" technologies and much longer lists of "unsupported" technologies. Yet, we continue to innovate. We continue to utilize new tools to solve problems. I stumbled upon this blog post from Rosabeth Moss Kante about innovation in health care, which I think is applicable to innovation in general and libraries specifically:
"Innovations always sound good in retrospect, after they've worked, and in isolation, when all the surrounding barriers to change don't have to be taken into account. Arguably, the main roadblock to innovation in health care is not the limits of human imagination and creativity; it is how a complex system has grown up in which most players have incentives for keeping their piece intact while hoping to seize a piece from someone else. Health establishments fight against germs and also against germs of ideas. It's a classic change management problem…
"…Complex systems of multiple actors and interest groups rarely change by fiat; they are more likely to change because of the accumulation of many positive deviations from tradition that prove themselves and gain support. Each small innovation pushes at some aspect of the system and ends up triggering greater change…" (Why Innovation Is So Hard in Health Care – and How to Do It Anyway by Rosabeth Moss Kante http://blogs.hbr.org/innovations-in-health-care/2011/02/why-innovation-is-so-hard-in-h.html)
When innovations take place, they do so because someone was willing to move beyond the roadblocks that exist. They were willing to break rules and operate in the underground economy of innovation.
In my research into the innovation and adaptation of blogs and Web 2.0 technologies, I have seen how the underground economy of ideas works. Single innovators can experiment, support, and diffuse ideas across organizations pushing the larger group in new directions.
It is not uncommon for pockets of innovations to exist that replicate all of the functions of an IT department offering trouble shooting support, implementation guidance, and even hardware maintenance. Of course, inefficiencies for the larger organization will start to arise as decentralized IT services pop up.
Organizational leaders have a delicate balancing act to perform as they seek to support both innovation and efficiency. Ideally, they should act to foster innovation, but also find ways to support it efficiently. At times, this is not an easy act to pull off. The currency for the underground economy of innovation is the informal recognition and satisfaction that comes with solving problems. Many courageous innovators thrive on stepping outside of the box and playing around. Administrators who do stamp out a new innovation because it is not officially supported risk doing far more damage to their organization than they may realize.
One thing that became clear to me in my research was that budget meetings were places where innovations went to die. The price tag is a significant factor in the diffusion of an idea. Since many Web 2.0 technologies are relatively cheap, they can easily fly below the radar as they move across organizations.

Afghans honor anti-Taliban rebel leader
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghans on Monday honored a rebel leader who was slain two days before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and whose fellow fighters helped the U.S. overthrow the Taliban government.
The annual commemoration marks the anniversary of the death of Ahmad Shah Massoud, a legendary ethnic Tajik commander of the Northern Alliance. He remains widely admired in this country for his resistance to Soviet rule as well as to the Taliban, whose harsh interpretation of Islam made life unbearable for numerous Afghans in the late 1990s.
Massoud was killed on Sept. 9, 2001, by al-Qaida suicide bombers posing as journalists, an assassination suspected of being linked to the later attacks on the United States. His once beleaguered forces routed the Taliban with the support of U.S. air power in the months after the Sept. 11 attacks.
On Monday, Afghans held memorial events honoring Massoud and his picture was plastered on even more buildings than normal. Officials also placed wreaths at a monument in Kabul dedicated to him.
Among those who honored Massoud were other well-known Afghan militia leaders. The forces of many Afghan warlords, including those of Massoud, were accused of committing atrocities, including during the Afghan civil war in the early 1990s before the Taliban seized the government.
Abdul Rab Rasoul Sayyaf — a white-bearded commander alleged to have supported Arab fighters who flocked to Afghanistan to resist the Soviets in the 1980s — took the stage in one major ceremony. He blasted the Taliban as "servants of foreigners."
The Taliban "are committing crimes against humanity, against Islam and against Afghanistan," said Sayyaf, who also is a rumored presidential candidate. "They are not Afghans."
The Taliban have stepped up their activity in recent months as U.S.-led foreign troops have reduced their presence in Afghanistan, and the anniversary of Massoud's death is always a sensitive day for security.
According to Javed Faisal, spokesman for the Kandahar province governor, two suicide bombers wearing police uniforms tried to stage an attack in the southern province's Panjwai district around 11 a.m. Monday. Police shot the pair dead, Faisal said.
Associated Press Writer Mirwais Khan contributed to this report from Kandahar.

In the depths of the Capitol building, there's an office. The location is not well known and access limited. Inside sit people whose jobs include reading every single piece of Assembly legislation out loud.
It's the Assembly Engrossing and Enrolling Office. Every time an Assembly bill is amended or approved it stops here to be proof read and updated. Linda Morgan and Michael Callahan are part of the staff that reads all those bills, even the really long ones.
So how long did it take for the staff to read the budget?
"Long time," joked Morgan.
"I believe last time we got through it in about three and a half days," Callahan said.
I wasn't allowed in the office; the clerks came upstairs to me. But why all the secrecy surrounding the room? Well, Chief Clerk Dotson Wilson said it's simple. The room holds a lot of legislation, and no one wants any of it to be moved, removed, or altered.
"Back in the 1930's there were a couple of reported incidents, where, we'll just say, there was undue influence that was placed on some of the staff that worked in the office," Dotson said.
The process has changed a bit since then, clerks no longer work alone. But clerks in the Assembly and on the Senate side are always aware that even a tiny mistake can result in embarrassment, or worse, a law that doesn't represent the legislature's intention. And so they read, day in and day out, silently and out loud. Every. Single. Bill.

"Awkward Moments" is a monthly column that asks comedians, "What do you do when..." In this installment we talk about references and improv.
Improvisers are often expected to keep a lot of stuff in their heads, all while being encouraged not to think. Some of this stuff has been put there by the process of learning improv, and "rules" that we've learned or had to unlearn. (Read a great piece about these so-called rules in Matt Holmes' new column, "Discussing a Bit.") The rest of this stuff is what all of us have in our heads all the time—the accumulated scraps of information, trivia, observations, etc. that comprise our knowledge of the world. And dipping our little improviser bucket into that well of references can lead to wonderfully specific and idiosyncratic choices in scenes, like making a movie that's a literal blockbuster, or the development of the progressive metal concept album Operation: Mindcrime II. (Wikipedia -> Random Article is your friend.) But what do improvisers do when their reference well doesn't match up with their scene partner's?
Most improvisers will find themselves in this situation at some point. Your partner has just endowed you with a character trait, maybe even a name, and you hear titters from the crowd. Your Spidey sense is tingling (that's from Spider-Man) and you realize that they're in on a joke that's left you in the dust. You realize it's because your scene partner is making a reference, and the little editor inside your brain is screaming "Why didn't you watch more Inside Edition?!" How does an improviser move forward when they feel left behind?
First off, it's important to mention that it's good to be informed. Everybody won't understand everyone's references all of the time (I think Lincoln said that while he was slaying the undead), but improvisers should cultivate a hunger for information and insight that they can bring to the stage, and that includes participating in an intertextual world (I learned that in college). Here's what Alex Newman, member of PHIT house team Davenger and known referencephile, has to say about arming oneself with knowledge:
"If you are an improviser, I think it's super important to be a diligent consumer of pop culture, even if you feel like it's killing you inside. Read everything, browse Wikipedia, and watch an episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey (one is definitely enough). Even a basic working knowledge of pop culture will arm you with enough references to survive. That being said, if you don't get a reference: fake it. Play it real, agree, commit and even if you get it wrong you've just created something that's true within the scene. If you think Hunger Games is a competitive eating tournament then in the world of your scene, that's what it is. The worst thing you can do is ignore it or try to make it not important."
I think Alex enters most scenes as if going into battle.
Most of the performers I talked to agree that sticking with and exploring what you've created is essential. Aaron Hertzog, of Hey Rube fame and soon-to-be-famous L.A. comedian, describes how having "your own deal" is an asset when dealing with reference:
"Hold on to whatever idea you came into the scene with. Lets say you come into the scene as somebody who LOVES kitty cats, but your scene partner wants to make you Superman. They are dropping hints that you are Superman but you're just not picking it up. Don't worry about trying to find out the specific reference—just play the scene with your love of kitty cats! Eventually you (or maybe just the audience, but that's ok) will get that you are Superman, and now, you're a Superman that loves kitty cats—which has much more depth and comedic hook than just plain old Superman."
Michael Tomasetti, of Mayor Karen and now of the great city of Los Angeles (really guys? L.A. is like Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Season 5 Big Bad Glory and Philadelphia is her brain-sucking victim...wait I have to go cry about Tara now), also uses strong character choices in response to an unknown:
"I usually get away with it by playing someone foreign. I like to use accents and whenever someone drops a Dr. Who, Star Trek, or sports reference I usually play someone not from this country or an alien. Or if I can get away with it, I play something literally. One time Alan Kaufmann and I were in a scene and he mentioned me playing Super Mario 3. I played the game once or twice, but knew enough to go along with the scene. At one point in the scene he said something like, "Get the frog suit and wear it." I stood up and reached under my chair, and mimed putting on a full length frog suit. Everyone started laughing hysterically, and I just figured it was because it was so bizarre. It was only after we got off stage that Alan was like, "the frog suit is what Mario wears in Super Mario 3."
Greg Maughan, Executive Director at the Philly Improv Theater and all-around comedy fiend, has a couple alternatives when dealing with reference:
"I've handled this situation in two different ways. In the first, I play a character who would never get the reference and just breezes past it innocently. In the second, I address the problem head on, admit I don't get it and make a lame joke at my own expense: 'Wait, are we both talking about the same Young Jeezy? I was thinking of Teddy Roosevelt's puppy.'"
Silly Greg. We all know TR's dog was named Slick Pulla.
No matter what, remember that you know everything you need to know to have a successful scene. As long as we listen, play and communicate, reference doesn't need to be scary. Kristen Schier, clown, comedian, and improv goddess who can be seen in The N Crowd and The Kristen & Amie/The Amie & Kristen Show, reminds improvisers to keep having fun:
"First off, I would keep doing what I have been doing trusting that [my scene partners] noticed something about what I was doing that made them go that direction in the first place. That having failed, within the context of the scene, I might try the following:
What I would NOT do is start to worry or change up my character... Its perfectly okay to show your ignorance or stupidity onstage."
Referencing the obscure or the trendy can be immensely satisfying whether or not everyone on stage "gets it." As an audience member, it's really gratifying to watch performers who imbue their scenes with the specific—if you see a lot of improv, you see a lot of the same scenes over and over again. But when improvisers come together and gift each other with their idiosyncratic knowledge, unique things happen. Of course, reference initiators should do so in service of the scene, not for the sake of dropping some sweet Reddit-curated knowledge for their own fame and glory (save that for political debates around the Thanksgiving table!) And reference receivers should do their best to listen to what was offered and honestly join their scene partner in whatever they're playing, rather than fight against it or judge themselves.
So tell us in the comments below: have you had an awkward moment of not getting the reference on stage? What do you do when something's over your head? (Like the legendary HGTV series hosted by Eric Stromer???)

The political strife resulting from the rivalry between President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) and Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng (王金平) may negatively affect private investment this year and government spending next year, an analyst said yesterday.
"As political uncertainties rise, private companies will delay or even reduce their investment, which may drag down economic growth this year," Gordon Sun (孫明德), director of the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research's (TIER, 台灣經濟研究院) economic forecasting center, said by telephone yesterday.
The institute forecast on July 25 that the nation's economic growth this year would be 2.52 percent, provided that private investment, the main driving force for economic growth, increased by 5.83 percent.
"Because growth in exports and private consumption has dwindled this year, private investment is of vital importance for the economy," Sun said.
On Wednesday, Wang's membership of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) was revoked, as requested by Ma, which is likely to lead to Wang being replaced as legislative speaker.
As the legislature is set to review the government's budget for next year in the next session, and if Ma cannot immediately retain control of the legislature, government spending next year may be cut significantly, affecting GDP growth next year, Sun said.
However, the political turmoil will have less of an impact on exports, which are mostly determined by orders from abroad, and private consumption, he added.
Commenting on other bills under review in the legislature, Sun said a possible delay in the ratification of the cross-strait service trade agreement with China, which grants more rights to Taiwanese companies investing in China, would postpone companies' investment plans and possibly give their competitors a chance to catch up.
Sun said the TAIEX would likely decline to 7,800 points as money flows to Japan, Taiwan and China from Southeast Asia after the tapering of the US' quantitative easing policy.
In addition to the government's budget and the service trade pact, the legislature is also set to review a bill on the planned "free economic pilot zones," a referendum on the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant in Gongliao District (貢寮), New Taipei City (新北市), and whether to give tax cuts to manufacturers of high-risk medical devices.
Council for Economic Planning and Development Minister Kuan Chung-ming (管中閔) said on Wednesday that he is not 100 percent sure the pilot zones bill will be passed by the end of this month as planned and that the implementation of tax reductions in the zones may be delayed.
Concord Securities Corp (康和證券) said yesterday that the future subsidies for local medical device makers granted by the bill are not as significant as most investors think.
"As shares in these companies declined because of the political uncertainty, it created a chance for investors to enter the market," Concord Securities said in a report.
The Cabinet has said construction of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant cannot continue until the referendum is held, but KMT Legislator Lee Ching-hua (李慶華), who initiated the draft version of the referendum, withdrew the draft from the legislature on Tuesday, citing "political chaos."
"The president's action shows that the nation's policies can be altered at his will without any reasoning, making companies wary about the investment environment," former Council of Economic Planning and Development (CEPD) minister Chen Po-chih (陳博志) said yesterday.
Chen said Wang is someone who can mediate the different interests of all the parties in the legislature and that many laws had been passed because of his efforts.
"In the future, with the KMT in the majority, the government may force many inappropriate bills through the legislature," Chen said.

You too can broadcast your skydive via Google Glass, so long as your friend will wait on the ground and point an amplifying dish at you. Google had its stuntmen perform a second dive at the second keynote of Google I/O on Thursday and revealed a bit more of how they pulled off the livestream.
When Google's team leapt out of a blimp yesterday, the entire jump was broadcast via a Google+ Hangout using Google Glass. However, the signal from a Google Glass device, falling at terminal velocity, isn't strong enough to maintain a video stream. Google supplemented the devices by having men on the ground who were pointing dishes at the divers to ramp up the signal.
As the parachutes opened during Thursday's dive, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who was narrating from the ground, noted that one of the chutes released an apparent puff of smoke. This was to identify which of the two divers—both of whom donned Google Glass—the two dish-holders needed to point at to maintain the connection.
Google announced Wednesday that the Google Glass units would be available for preorder for developers in attendance, at $1,500 a pop. With a good feedback tailwind, the company hopes to bring the glasses to consumers by 2014.

This is not some guitar hero hack. Maayan Migdal hacked together this cool drum kit that uses his sandals and a pair of freaking garden rakes to make his sound.
How he did it was he modified the garden rakes to make use of a pair of accelerometers, the left for the hi-hats and the right for the snare and crash cymbal. He then hacked his sandals to have sensors in them for the bass drum and hi-hat pedals. All of these were jerry-rigged to an Arduino and connected to a MIDI device to make for a simple-yet-effective drum set. Not bad for a summer afternoon. [Hack A Day via TechCrunch]

It's the end of the year, so alongside the rest of the blogosphere, that means it is time for a retrospective look at my most popular posts of the year. For those of you who have taken the time to read my articles this year, guest posts or otherwise, a heartfelt thanks. I hope you found them useful and informative; I'll do my best to make 2013 just as productive.
Now, without further ado, the Top 5!
#1 – RE: The Walking Dead – A call to Frank Darabont
When I first wrote this post, it was only intended to vent my own frustrations with the first season of the Walking Dead, but it seems that there are a lot of people who feel the same way. Luckily, my main issue with the series – not enough zombies! – has been answered.
#2 – Scribd – the wrong way to use Facebook personalisation
Unlike my rant at the Walking Dead, this was an article that had some substance beyond the personal. Scribd's use of Facebook Instant Personalisation hit all the wrong notes and deserved to be pilloried.
#3 – Unfollowing those who don't follow back? You just don't get it…
Another rant, this time at the misconception of some Twitter users that you should only follow someone if they follow you back. Poppycock, I say! You should follow people who you think add value, not just for the sake of a followback.
#4 – What is… Groupon
Groupon has had a tough year and is no longer the poster-company for the IPO generation. For those of you who are still unsure of what Groupon is, and what the fuss is about, here's a starter guide.
#5 – The album that saved my (musical) life
The Pixies truly did save my musical life! They are also a great example of how to use social media channels to reengage an audience, both new and old. Old in my case…
Thanks again, and see you in 2013.
Cheers, James

Greek lawmakers pass austerity vote
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek lawmakers have narrowly passed a crucial austerity bill by majority vote, but with heavy dissent from within the three-party governing coalition.
Immediately after the vote early Thursday and before the tally had been officially announced, two of the coalition parties expelled a total of seven dissenting deputies from their ranks.
The third party in the coalition, the small Democratic Left, mostly voted "present" — in essence abstaining from the vote.
The passage of the bill was a big step for the government to secure continued funding from the country's international creditors. Without the loans, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has said Greece will run out of euros on Nov. 16.
Hundreds of protesters clashed with Greek riot police Wednesday while more than 80,000 demonstrated outside Parliament before the vote.
The cutbacks are worth €13.5 billion ($17 billion) over the next two years.
Protesters hurled rocks and gasoline bombs at lines of riot police guarding Parliament, who responded with volleys of tear gas and stun grenades, and the first use of a water cannon in Greece in years.
Demonstrators in the packed crowd ran for cover as running battles broke out with police. Clouds of tear gas rose from Syntagma Square.
Inside the building, lawmakers interrupted the debate as Parliament employees went on strike to protest cuts to their wages brought by Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras in an amendment to the austerity bill. Stournaras declared minutes later that he was withdrawing the amendment.
Greece's next bailout loan installment of €31.5 billion, out of a total of €240 billion, is already five months overdue.
The measures debated include new deep pension cuts and tax hikes, a two-year increase in the retirement age to 67, and laws that will make it easier to fire and transfer civil servants who are currently guaranteed jobs for life. The country is suffering a deep recession set to enter a sixth year, and record high unemployment of 25 percent.
"You are throwing people onto to the street, people who need a few more years till they get their pensions," said Panagiotis Lafazanis, parliamentary spokesman for the main opposition Syriza, or Radical Left, party. "What will happen to them. Will they starve? ... This is an illegal and unconstitutional law."
Opposition parties accused the government of trampling on Greece's constitution with the proposed cuts in pensions and benefits, and complained that the bill, several hundred pages long, was too complex to be debated in a single session.

Apparently, the new weapon against insurgents in Iraq is a paintball gun. Mind you, it's a paintball gun that uses paintballs full of a mixture of paint and the brittle metal bismuth, and it's a paintball gun that fires at 900 PSI compared to the standard 300-500 PSI, but it's a paintball gun all the same.
The non-lethal weapon is meant for crowd control and getting people down without killing them. That's all well and good, but with the bismuth inside designed to fragment on impact, I'm wondering just how non-lethal these things actually are. While they might not kill you outright if they hit you (unless you take it in the eye or something), you're going to be in a serious world of hurt.
I mean, technically a baseball bat could be considered a non-lethal weapon, but I don't know if it makes it laudably humane. [Danger Room]

Class Action Lawsuit Says Facebook Violated The Law By Letting Kids Like Ads
from the because,-they-better-not-like-ads... deptIt appears that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Facebook for the horrible, horrible act of letting kids like ads. As TechCrunch explains:
On Facebook, you can "like" any status update or post in your stream, but you can also "like" ads. When you do so, it can appear as a status update to all your friends if that ad is linked to a Facebook page, thus turning the "like" button into a social endorsement...This seems like a clear "unintended consequences" situation. Politicians pass a law to "protect the children" from being exploited in advertisements, but it also has the potential to get in the way of really harmless activity, such as a kid clicking a "like" button on his Facebook profile.
The class action lawyers claim that in the case of teenagers, Facebook is "misappropriating the names and pictures of minors for profit." Facebook might say that it is in its terms of service, that's how the site works. But the lawsuit hinges on a loophole in California law which requires parental consent in order to obtain a minor's consent for using their name or likeness for an advertisement, And Facebook doesn't do that.

The LaFerrari, the star of the show at Geneva
The "LaFerrari" is still very much the star of the show at Geneva. Twenty-four hours after its unveiling by Chairman Luca di Montezemolo, the fastest and most innovative road car ever built at Maranello remains the main attraction at 83rd edition of the Swiss event. The Ferrari stand is under constant siege from a barrage of photographers and TV cameras eager to getting their own shots of the first-ever Prancing Horse hybrid road car, while a large queue of admirers waits patiently in the hopes of catching a close-up glimpse. Tomorrow, when the Show opens to the public, the ranks of that throng are sure to swell still further.
There is also hardly a report online, in print or on TV about the Geneva Show that fails to mention the "LaFerrari". More than three million pages on Google already contain the car's iconic name, while Maranello's official Facebook page now features over 80,000 comments made by the almost 11 million "likers" of the various posts. Of course, this kind of reaction was only to be expected given the sense of anticipation that surrounded a car whose name was not even known until yesterday! However, once the wraps were finally off, the "LaFerrari" became an instant symbol, the very quintessence of all of the qualities that make the Maranello marque so absolutely unique: the signature technological innovation, blistering performance, futuristic styling and exhilarating driving emotions only its cars can deliver.

5mm LEDs flat head with a round beam function and 50,000 hour lifetime
Both LEDs always have the same color. The colors are limited to red, green and
blue. This radial beam LEDs have an view angle of 170°. The LEDs have a service
life of at least 50,000 hours. With a diameter of 5mm the LEDs should fit into
the most fit-made LED holes.
Black isolated twin strand cable with a length of 35 cm
We dimensioned the cable length to 35 cm. With this length you should be able to
reach any corner of a Big Tower. In addition, the cable is black isolated, so
the cable itself is not visible in a dark surrounding inside the PC case.
4-pin power plug for the +12 V current support of the PC Power Supply Unit
We have decided us for the +12 V line, as the most power supplies have more
resources on this power line at their disposal. We especially decided us for the
4-pin plug and not for the 3-Pin to continue the 3-pin supply from the
motherboard keeps maintained and the speed signal for the further use is
Plug & Use - Easy Installation and Usage
The cable is already fully soldered - and can simply be installed with the 4-pin
plug on the PC PSU. After connecting both LEDs are lit.

widescreen woes
(re-posted from bsdforum.org in case the smart people don't read there any more.)
I have at my disposal an NVidia Quadro(?) NVS 210S (onboard video, Dell system) and an ATI Radeon 9250 (PCI card). I'm running FreeBSD-amd64, and I'm not at all interested in i386, so I guess the NV binary drivers are right out. I'm running X.org 7.3, compiled from source (ports), cvsup about a week ago.
What I want most is to do 1680x1050, my new 22" widescreen monitor's optimal resolution. The ATI does this with no tweaking at all, except that with the card installed, the console tends to freeze when I exit from X or else the Xorg process starts consuming 100% of one CPU core when I start X (and then the console freezes when I try to exit the X server), so that's no good. The NV won't do anything more than 1280x1024 over DVI. It'll do better than that via VGA, but none of those are widescreen modes. When I tell it to use 1680x1050, the Xorg.0.log entry is "exceeds panel dimensions". Another entry states that the panel size is detected as 1280x1024.
I don't care about acceleration especially--I just want the extra screen real estate (and to use the monitor I just shelled out for, of course). I don't even have 2D acceleration right now with the X.org 'nv' driver, do I?
Is there anything I can do to tell X that my monitor really can do 1680x1050? My xorg.conf is below. Xorg.0.log is apparently too large to post here, so it's at http://www.tc.mtu.edu/~jfb/Xorg.0.log .
If I'm out of luck with respect to NVidia, do I have any options with the ATI Radeon 9250? Is anyone else running one of those with no lockups? My card is an ATI-branded PCI (not PCIE) card. Someone on freebsd-stable suggested that was probably to do with X.org's interaction with the card/chipset rather than being a FreeBSD problem, but if anyone's seen this problem and gotten around it, I'd be interested to know how.
Failing everything else, I guess I can pick up a new card, but I always like to take a crack at making what I have work before I do that. I'm all ears for recommendations, though. I do have a PCIE slot available, so that's not out of the question. I just want something that'll let me do 1680x1050 under FreeBSD-amd64.
thanks for any input,

I just so happen to have bought a 22" widescreen today myself, the config file given by
# Xorg -configure
Works great for my Philips 220WS ... I am using the nvidia driver though...
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
btw, i am using a viewsonic 19" tft at 1440x900 with the latest xorg and nv driver without any problems.
Anyway, I took a shot at nouveau, but I didn't have much luck there, either. The long and short of it is that something was looking for a nouveau kernel module. Here's the tail end of my Xorg.0.log:
(II) Loading sub module "dri" (II) LoadModule: "dri" (II) Reloading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libdri.so (II) NOUVEAU(0): Loaded DRI module drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory) drmOpenDevice: Open failed [drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau" (EE) NOUVEAU(0): [dri] Failed to open the DRM (EE) NOUVEAU(0): 1399: (==) NOUVEAU(0): Write-combining range (0x0,0x1000) was already clear (II) UnloadModule: "nouveau" (II) UnloadModule: "dri" (II) UnloadModule: "vgahw" (II) Unloading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules//libvgahw.so (II) UnloadModule: "int10" (II) Unloading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules//libint10.so (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found
Xorg is auto-configuring.
Example: I know since the Middle Ages that DRI cannot be enabled on a multi-screen Matrox. Hence I stoopidly wrote to not load DRI.
Xorg had a message such as: DRI disabled, I will load it anyway.
Example: you X -configure and cp xorg.conf.new as xorg.conf without editing.
Spare your time, reduce fingers stress, don't use any xorg.conf file. As xorg.conf.new is just what the autoconfig would have done.
Autoconfigure looks for the highest resolution and color depth natively available.
If you don't get what is expected with recent Xorg's, it is more probably a driver issue.
My case, FreeBSD with Matrox g550, no way to get Xinerama.
"Dual-head doesn't work properly with this version but at least most
single-head setups will work correctly." (sic)
Solution was to grab an older driver than 1.4.7 and compile it.
Whem the last update fails, step back two upgrades.
Works like a charm.
Still does not work on Debian Lenny whatever guides they wrote for XRandR. I gave up trying to compile anything on Linux beyond Slackware.
Never had the slightest problem with any OpenBSD xenocara (current snapshots even have keyboard maps recognition, a source is contributed upstream, expect the feature to be available at oter maintainers).
I would say. if your xenocara does not work as expected, you are out of luck and need to file a PR.
When it works on xenocara, but not on another xorg implementation, there is a problem somewhere in the source or at the maintainer.
Fwiw, I multiboot a 4G USB flash stick first to test configurations or updates (OS, networking, toolchain, X) before I change anything to the hard drive.
Since then I certainly never update anything related to display-mouse-keyboard.
da more I know I know I know nuttin'
<guesswork> if you have Load "dri" in the "Module" section then remove it otherwise try adding Disable "dri". </guesswork>
> "nv driver" as in i386 binary or xorg compiled-from-source?
the latter
