A matchup many thought sure to be a down-to-the-wire affair had most of the drama removed by the North Central College football team on Saturday, as the sixth-ranked Cardinals took control early on and blanked the 13th-ranked Illinois Wesleyan University Titans, 24-0, putting a damper on the Titans' Homecoming festivities and taking sole possession of first place in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin standings.
The Cardinals (6-1, 4-0 CCIW) have now held three of their first four conference opponents without a touchdown and have two shutouts in conference play for the first time since 1965, when North Central posted back-to-back shutouts of North Park University and Millikin University. Illinois Wesleyan (6-1, 3-1), meanwhile, suffered its first shutout at home since a 21-0 loss to Augustana College in 1990.
North Central was able to overcome a festive atmosphere and a noisy crowd to punch the ball into the end zone on the game's opening drive. The Cardinals marched 58 yards in nine plays and wound up scoring on a two-yard run by Jordan Tassio. Quarterback Tyler Dicken completed 3 of 3 passes for 31 yards during the possession, also running once for nine yards.
The Cardinals doubled their lead in the second quarter, aided by a pass interference penalty on third down-and-long which gave North Central's offene new life at its own 33-yard line. Two plays later, Dicken threw deep to Bai Kabba for a 46-yard completion to advance the visitors to the Titans' 20-yard line. Dicken wound up capping off the 11-play, 82-yard drive with a six-yard touchdown pass toAlex Haan with 4:55 to play in the second quarter.
North Central took possession following a Titan punt at its own 30 with just 35 seconds left before halftime. A pair of 15-yard IWU penalties helped move the Cardinals into field-goal range, and a 44-yard kick by Nick Dace split the uprights to give North Central a 17-0 advantage just before halftime.
The Cardinals were forced to punt on their first possession of the second half, butTyler Rasche booted the ball 63 yards to pin the Titans at their own five-yard line. IWU advanced to near midfield before Cardinal linebacker Joey Michalsintercepted a pass from IWU quarterback Rob Gallik. Michals, an All-CCIW hurdler during the most recent indoor and outdoor track and field seasons, leaped over a would-be Titan tackler and sprinted to the end zone for a 49-yard touchdown return, boosting the Cardinals' lead to 24-0 with 7:48 left in the third period.
The Titans threatened to score on their next possession, but Josh Mitchell picked off Gallik's pass in the end zone. The final IWU drive also ended with the ball in the hands of a North Central defender, as Stewart Charles collected the Cardinals' third interception of the day with 5:21 remaining.
The Cardinals wound up outgaining IWU, 334-215, owning a 199-61 advantage in rushing yards and a 33:08-26:52 edge in time of possession. Nick Kukuc ran 19 times for a season-high 127 yards, while Dicken completed 11 of 20 passes for 135 yards and Haan made a team-high four catches for 30 yards. Michales, Shane Dierking and Kane Thompson shared the team lead in tackles (6) and Willie Hayes totaled two tackles for loss.
Gallik completed 18 of 39 passes for 154 yards for the Titans, while Joe Musso caught seven passes for 45 yards and Cameron Blossom gained 41 yards on 10 rushing attempts. IWU linebacker Ryan Gresko made a game-high 16 tackles.
The Cardinals play the first of three straight home games next Saturday, hosting Elmhurst College (4-3, 2-2). Kickoff at Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Now features 'love' discussion earlier titled 'Gay Marriage'
by Bob Unruh
An indoctrination program that was shut down at the University of Delaware last year after it was revealed the teachings included, "All whites are racist," now is being revived, and an organization monitoring such educational behavior is concerned there will be violations similar to those of a year ago.
Adam Kissell, a spokesman for The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, told WND his worry is that this year's "program" for incoming students at Delaware has the same "learning outcomes" as a year ago, the same administrators are running it, and components appear simply to have been renamed, instead of changed.
WND reported a year ago when a series of teachings mandated for all residence halls told students "all whites are racists."
FIRE had written to university President Patrick Harker about its concerns, including its worries that "somehow, the University of Delaware seems terrifyingly unaware that a state-sponsored institution of higher education in the United States does not have the legal right to engage in a program of systematic thought reform."
At that time, Samantha Harria, FIRE's director of legal and public advocacy, suggested, "The First Amendment protests the rights of freedom of conscience … the right to keep our innermost thoughts free from governmental intrusion."
She cited a school teaching that told students: "A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. 'The term applies to all white people. …'"
Students came forward "in droves" in 2007 to complain, FIRE said, also citing concerns over indoctrination about homosexuality and environmentalism.
Under the program documentation revealed then, student managers of residence halls were told to summon students for one-on-one questioning during which they were instructed to respond to questions such as: "When did you discover your sexual identity?"
"Students who express discomfort with this type of questioning often meet with disapproval from their RAs, who write reports on these one-on-one sessions and deliver these reports to their superiors. One student identified in a write-up as an RA's 'worst' one-on-one session was a young woman who stated that she was tired of having 'diversity shoved down her throat,'" FIRE said.
This particular student responded to the question, "When did you discover your sexual identity?" with the terse: "That is none of your damn business," FIRE said.
Kissell told WND today FIRE is concerned that some of the labels may have been changed in the program, but the underlying indoctrination plans remain.
"I think it's likely we'll need to do something more. We have every expectation that the Delaware office of residence life will continue to push its ideology onto students," he told WND.
He noted that Harker, in his announcement earlier about the controversial program, said it was being suspended and officials would work together on making changes.
This year's program proposes an "interactive bulletin board" for students on the subject "How do you define love?"
"This could be a great topic," Kissell noted in his analysis of the program. "I should note, however, that an earlier draft called this topic 'Gay Marriage & Civil Unions,' so we can predict what the RAs (residential hall assistants) will highlight first."
"Again, this may be a great discussion if treated honestly, but I have little trust that ResLife can handle even the most meritorious topics without coercion and without disrespect for the right of private conscience."
Officials at Delaware declined to allow WND to ask Harker any questions, and there was no answer at a media office to which WND was directed for comment on the program.
Kissell said the teaching program for new students "is all about indoctrination into a highly politicized agenda."
Specifically, its goal is to change students' "thoughts, values, beliefs, and actions."
"This is a legal minefield. It is morally reprehensible," Kissell said. "It still wrests away from the faculty its historic prerogative to oversee education at the University of Delaware. Its vague language merely hides its original intent – with the same programming, only in different words."
He said while the program is called optional, that description is "hard to swallow."
"These are the same people who called the program a 'treatment' for students who ResLife has tagged as morally and ideologically deficient," he wrote in an analysis of the work.
Of special concern are the "conversations" that are between student residence hall managers and students, Kissell said.
"What will the oversight be? Will RAs know not to ask invasive questions? Will they be instructed to focus on diversity and tolerance and sustainability, or will they genuinely listen and respond to what each student actually wants to talk about?"
Kissell cited the plans for university-mandated "sustainability definitions" to introduce students "to key sustainability terms and concepts."
"I hope that this is not a return to Shakti Butler-inspired ideas that, for instance, all whites are racist oppressors," he said.
Kissell said the program also features "guilt trips," because, "At each social event, information will be posted on walls and event supplies to inform students of the economic and environmental impact of the event and items."
"Indeed, ResLife still wants students to emerge as change agents by their senior year. Students will be 'encouraged to choose a sustainable goal,'" the FIRE analysis reported.
The organization also has written to Howard Cosgrove, chairman of the university's trustees, on the issue.
"FIRE is gravely concerned about the threat to freedom of conscience posed by the University of Delaware's proposed resident life education program," the organization's letter said.
"This educational plan maintains many of the objectionable goals and activities that were in last year's halted program," said FIRE.
"The legal problems posed by last year's Residence Life education program are abundant and cut to the core of the most essential rights of a free people. The proposed Residence Life education program remains a legal minefield. Please know, however, that our objection to this program is far more than legalistic. What made last year's program so offensive was its brazen disregard for autonomy, dignity, and individual conscience, and the sheer contempt it displayed for all of the university's incoming students. With similar but ambiguous programming, similar goals, and the same staff in place, the proposed program remains deeply problematic."

"For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."
When I was a teenager, I had a Basset Hound named Julius. My friends and I all had named our dogs after a dictator or an emperor. As it so happened, our high school English teacher was engaged to marry a man named Julius. Therefore, I thought it would be funny to name my dog both after the Roman Emperor and our teacher's fiance'.
My family lived on country farm along Farm to Market Road 604, a well-paved, two lane highway running between Clyde, Texas, and Denton Valley.
One of Julius' peculiar habits was that, on a cold day, he would lie down on the yellow stripe right out in the middle of the highway.
I suppose his "strategy" was this: The drivers of the cars would assume that he was a dead dog lying in the middle of the road and try to avoid hitting him in order to keep from "messing up" their automobiles. It worked. He never was hit and lived to a ripe old age.
However, any way you look at it, Julius practiced risky behavior. Of course, being a dog, he probably did not ponder the deeper existential meaning of his behavior. At least I doubt it. I believe he just was looking for a warm place and found the blacktop comforting. I don't think he ever paid much attention to the cars speeding by on either side of him.
Some people, though, would interpret his behavior as "having faith." Others would say that is nonsense. They would contend that Julius was simply taking a great risk and tempting fate.
Remember that Jesus said, " Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it." (Mark 10: 15 NRSV)
He also said, "For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17: 20 NRSV)
Now, it is important to note that Jesus did not say "receive the kingdom of God as a dog ..." or "If you have faith the size of a dog's faith ..."
Just what, then, was Jesus trying to communicate to us about faith?
Certainly he did not mean that we can go engage in risky behaviors and say, "I am trusting God to protect me." Nor did he mean that he does not want us to step out in ways we feel are right even though they are filled with uncertainty. No, in fact, that is the very essence of faith -- stepping out into areas of uncertainty because we believe it is the right thing to do.
Dr. M. Scott Peck, in his book "A World Waiting to be Born: Civility Rediscovered," gave what I believe is the best description of faith that I have ever seen.
He said, " The unconscious is always one step ahead of the conscious mind. It is, therefore, impossible to know that what you are doing is right because knowing is a function of consciousness. Your unconscious might be one step ahead of you in the right direction or wrong direction.
"However, if your will is steadfastly to the good and if you are willing to suffer fully when the good seems ambiguous (which, to me, is ninety-eight percent of the time) then your unconscious will always be one step ahead of your conscious mind in the right direction. In other words, the Holy Spirit will lead you and you will do the right thing. Only you will not have the luxury of knowing it at the time you are doing it. Indeed, you will do the right thing precisely because you have been willing to forgo that luxury."
Now, that is "no nonsense" faith.

It's been a few years (I think) since my last visit. And I am doing well -- got a bit of a cold at the moment but otherwise doing well.
I'm one-year into running a local board gaming meetup at my home. It's produced a wonderful community of about 14 or so regulars and probably 60 - 100 guests stopping by over the course of the year.

Giacomo Puccini - Il Trittico

Opus Arte
An essay in the booklet for the Blu-ray release of the Royal Opera House's 2011 production of Puccini's Il Trittico remarks that there's always a temptation to try and find a common theme between the three short operas that the composer wrote to be performed together, but that essentially they were written mainly to complement each other only in so far as the contrast they provide. That still doesn't stop producers (or those writing about the work) from trying to find connections between them. Antonio Pappano in his introduction here sees the overall theme as deception, which I like, and it's a useful theme to keep in mind, but although there could be other commonalities found between the works - young love and dreams being stifled or weighed down by events from the past - the main uniting theme is indeed the diversity of the works. Il Trittico will make you laugh and it will make you cry - you can count on that - but, should you want to, there's a wealth of riches to explore here in Puccini's masterful scoring and the variety of themes that he covers.
The variety of the subjects and the manner in which they are written and played out however is more than just for the entertainment of the audience (although this is evidently the primary consideration and there is something for everyone here), but it seem to me that they are also purposely diverse in subject matter, tone and treatment in order to give Puccini as much scope as possible to stretch himself and develop into new musical areas that had been opened up in the post-Wagner world of 20th century opera. Even if the romantic melodrama of Il Tabarro or the tragic opera heroine theme of Suor Angelica are familiar areas for Puccini (the comedy of Gianni Schicchi is however another matter entirely), one can see that he is working musically outside the comfort zone of traditional Italian opera arrangements and arias, working within the constraints of the shorter form in order to concentrate on finding the purest expression of the dramatic and emotional content of the works.
Il Tabarro however is far from familiar Puccini. It is certainly a close relation to La Bohème, being set in Paris, concerned with the hopes and dreams of the lower classes looking for love and security in their lives, their romantic lives stifled by their poverty, and it even makes a few minor references to Mimi and the music of La Bohème behind the scenes, but Puccini's mature musical perspective is quite different, darker and far heavier. Pappano makes reference to the influence of Debussy and impressionism, which is most obviously evident in the opening sounds of the canal dockyard blending into the music itself, creating a perfectly evocative atmosphere for the dark, misty setting, but the music throughout seems to express the underlying social context, the inner lives of the characters and their pasts, as much as it illustrates the dramatic events that occur in the present. There are no major arias, but the sense of their history and their social position as vagabonds, a life that is slowly grinding them down, is expressed in the singing and in the voices, the intensity of the emotion and expression of temperament as important as they actual words they sing, if not even more so. Puccini brings all that out, fully and with considerable depth, fitting it in with the dramatic developments, all within the compressed space of a one-act opera. It's masterful.
The dark gritty realism extends through to the sets in Richard Jones's production that recreates the dark Parisian streets at the banks of the Seine as effectively as Puccini's score. The excellent lighting is particularly instrumental in establishing the mood. The cast too are terrific, able to spark life into these characters and reveal them in all their humanity. Eva-Maria Westbroek in particular is very strong as Giorgetta, with her Wagnerian range that still has a lovely lyricism. Gallo has the reputation of mugging characters, but he's strong here as the dark and intense Michele. He doesn't really have the depth of voice or the acting quality to reveal any unexpected qualities, but he sings the role quite well. There are no concerns at all with Aleksandrs Antonenko, who sings powerfully and brings out that extra dimension that Puccini scores in his revealing duet with Westbroek's Giorgetta. If Il Tabarro is never thought of as the strongest section of Il Trittico, this production presents it as well as it can be done, Pappano in particular directing the orchestra of the Royal Opera House magnificently through the strains and the sweep of Puccini's score.
If Il Tabarro has a kind of spiritual connection with La Bohème, the fatal tragedy of the romantic heroine of Suor Angelica is aligned closely with the circumstances and the fate of Cio-Cio-San in Madama Butterfly. If there are differences in the plot, and particularly in the cultural background and the individual circumstances of the central figures, at heart however the emotions and what engenders them is similar, and Puccini couches those female sentiments in much the same kind of musical language. There is however considerable maturity in the through composition of the opera and in Puccini's attempt here not so much to accompany the action as much as describe the otherworldly aspects that drive it. Aware of the wide range of opportunities this offers - even in a short work of this length - Puccini doesn't focus solely on the complications of Sister Angelica's situation, but also delves into the inner lives, the playfulness, devotion, contemplation and secret desires of the other nuns, their conflict between earthly being and a search for heavenly grace all contributing to the fullness of the character study of Angelica.
Forced into a convent, having given birth to an illegitimate child that would bring shame to the noble family name that she belongs to, living in hope for some kind of news from the family that has disowned her, the developments when combined with a religious experience could certainly tip the work over into high melodrama, particularly when scored with such feeling by Puccini. I'm sure there are many who feel that this is indeed the case with Suor Angelica, but it's clear that Puccini is seeking to express a deeper, more complex view of extreme very specific female emotions where a sense of motherhood has been denied, caught up in religious devotion and monastic discipline. That balance also needs to be maintained in the stage presentation, particularly the handling of the dramatic conclusion, and Richard Jones managed to bring out that inner world described in the music well, with subtle but telling touches. More important than anything else however is the performance of Suor Angelica herself, and Ermonela Jaho not only sings it exceptionally well, but she is completely involved in a role that demands acting of concentrated intensity.
Buoso Donati has just died, his family and loved ones surrounding him, but in the third part of Puccini's Il Trittico, Gianni Schicchi, this is not the usual tragic opera deathbed scene, and if there are any tears shed by the assembled mourners it's on account of their being disinherited in the old man's will, while it's more likely to be tears of laughter on the part of the audience (and that's no exaggeration). The comic opera is certainly not a style you would associate with Puccini, but his treatment of the humour in Gianni Schicchi is nothing short of brilliant. Closer to Verdi's Falstaff than say Donizetti's clever but broader slapstick, there's no heavy comic underscoring here (whatever that might entail, I'm not sure), but rather an almost furtive, subtle, insidious expression of the nature this mixed bag of greedy, grasping, backstabbing, moneygrubbers in all their scheming self-importance. It's dazzling to hear how a composer of Puccini's experience and maturity handles himself in this unfamiliar register, from the false sobs scored into the opening notes, through the knowing self-parody of heartfelt (yet still justly famous) arias that don't express 'Addio del passato' as much as 'Addio to the money', to the frantic jostling for positions of influence of this motley mob and their eventual well-deserved comeuppance.
Richard Jones's setting for the Royal Opera House production again fits quite admirably, finding its own sense of style without having to adhere to the period. Somehow the slick sixties suits and garish dresses express the tasteless vulgarity of the rich Donati family and their brood, as does the tacky flowered wallpaper Buoso's over-sized bedroom. There's no sharp spiv suit either for the scheming lawyer Gianni Schicchi, but a suitably seedy quality nonetheless to his open-shirted swagger, looking as if he's just been dragged away from a different kind of bar than the one expected for his profession, differentiating his social class from the pretensions of the Donati family. It's spot-on characterisation, wonderfully played and sung by the cast - Lucio Gallo switching register wonderfully from the very different role of Michele in Il Tabarro. As Antonio Pappano notes however in the introduction, the comedy in Gianni Schicchi relies greatly on the timing, and while this production gets those laughs, when compared to the English Touring Opera's recent hilarious production that is still fresh in my mind, Jones's stage direction doesn't always make the most of the potential that Puccini's score and the witty situations of the work present.
It's Antonio Pappano's contribution to the production as a whole however that proves to be the critical factor in its overall resounding success. All this richness and diversity, the sense of fun and drama, along with the serious musicological insight and consideration of the deeper qualities of the work is borne out in Pappano's conducting of the orchestra of the Royal Opera House, who give a mesmerising performance. With excellent casting and singing, and an appropriate staging, you really couldn't ask for more.
Opus Arte however also package the set extremely well. In addition to the impeccable technical presentation on Blu-ray, with a crystal clear High Definition transfer and outstanding HD sound mixes in LPCM stereo and DTS HD-Master Audio 5.1 that reproduce the music and the singing exceptionally well, each of the three hour-long operas are presented separately and given their own optional introduction that briefly sets out the premise and the treatment. An additional Extra Feature follows Lucio Gallo through make-up, warm-up and last-minute preparations with the conductor for his two roles as Michele and Gianni Schicchi. The full-HD Blu-ray is region-free, dual layer BD50, with English, French, German, Spanish and Italian subtitles.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has dismissed a call from one of her senior MPs to give up on Labor's commitment to a budget surplus.
Chief government whip Joel Fitzgibbon says people will understand if the budget remains in deficit so that "some good things" can be done on the productivity front with the extra money.
His call echoes the views of economists, who believe slowing growth puts a forecast $1.1 billion budget surplus out of reach in 2012/13.
Ms Gillard says Mr Fitzgibbon and others are entitled to their views.
"We don't jump at people's figments of imagination here," she told ABC radio on Friday.
"We deal with the facts. We deal with the forecasts."
Ms Gillard said policy was made by her and the cabinet, not Mr Fitzgibbon.
"We'll get on and make the decisions," she said.
Mr Fitzgibbon said monetary and fiscal budget policy were "running in different directions" and there was good reason to run a deficit in times of need.
Ms Gillard vowed the government's next budget, due to be handed down in May 2013, would detail funding for a national disability insurance scheme and Labor's response to the Gonski review on school funding.
"We will be absolutely transparent with the Australian people," she said.
"Every dollar, every cent, the long-term funding strategy."
Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey said the government's surplus was in "tatters".
"The man who is meant to enforce discipline in their own ranks ... is even now breaking ranks with the government," he told reporters in Sydney.
"This government will find every excuse it can to weasel its way out of a surplus."
He said it was a charade that would continue to undermine business and consumer confidence.
He said based on what is known now, a coalition government would deliver a surplus in its first year and every year after that.
"But the books aren't closed and frankly the government controls the books, so we don't know what the truth is about the budget numbers and I suspect we won't know until after the election," Mr Hockey said.

WORCESTER, Mass. – A 20-11 run during a six-minute span in the second half helped propel WPI to a 68-56 win over the MIT women's basketball team on Saturday afternoon. Junior Tamara Pena (Aliso Viejo, Calif.) tallied 12 points, six rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block for the Engineers (3-3, 1-1 NEWMAC).
Freshman Sabrina Drammis (Hilton Head Island, S.C.) led MIT with 13 points coming off the bench to go along with four rebounds while classmate Maya Ramachandran (Fremont, Calif.) posted eight points, four boards, and two steals. Freshman Durva Bhandare (North Brunswick, N.J.) and sophomore Michelle Battipaglia (Katonah, N.Y.) both recorded six points as Bhandare dished out three assists.
A Pena three-pointer coupled with Ramachandran's layup gave the Engineers an early 5-1 lead; however, WPI scored six straight points to take the slight edge at the 12:23 mark. After an exchange of baskets, the hosts' margin reached four points on three occasions, the last at 17-13 with 6:15 left in the frame. Ramachandran's layup cut MIT's deficit in half but WPI responded with a 13-4 run to enter halftime with a 30-19 advantage.
The Engineers opened the second stanza by registering seven straight points during the first three minutes to come within four (30-26). WPI responded with a 10-2 run to gain some breathing room, but MIT continued to attack as a 6-2 spurt narrowed the gap to 42-34 with 9:13 on the clock. WPI then mounted its pivotal run which produced a 62-45 lead with 3:43 left to play. The Cardinal and Gray generated some momentum courtesy of baskets by Drammis, Battipaglia, and Bhandare but WPI thwarted the late rally by converting a jumper and then two free throws with 1:11 to go.
Next up for MIT will be a home tilt with NEWMAC foe U.S. Coast Guard Academy on Tuesday, Dec. 4.

There are two MB "pastes" that have a special place in my heart.
The first is the now-infamous MB "Gleitpaste" - the 'sliding paste' for the sunroof mechanism. The large can in the photos below is "da Gleit..." part number 001-989-46-51.
The second (small jar) is much lesser known - it's called MB "Silikonpaste" and it's an excellent lubricant for a number of operations. The part number for the Silicone Paste is 000-989-84-51, current MB list price of $72 for a 3.5-ounce jar.
This silicone paste is special stuff because it's the secret sauce that the "stealership weasels" use to eliminate squeaks, rattles and other noises from door cards, seals, seats, metal parts, and so forth. It is excellent for use on door strikers and pins, hinges and lube points. Some call it "Wunderpaste" and although pricey stuff, it is well worth the cost.
Any customer car that comes into an MB stealership service bay because of a complaint of squeaks and rattles ... gets a good dose of this Wunderpaste.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
The Dreamer Within - "Purge"
Artist Bio:
Surging onto the UK scene in 2014 – The Dreamer Within are a 5 piece Metalcore band from Exeter, UK. Combining their love of synth and EDM with blistering riffs, ruthless breakdowns and catchy clean melodies - this band won't leave you standing still for long.
Writing songs with a dark feel but an underlying positive message is one of the elements that sets this group apart in heavy music today - Drawing on inspiration from supernatural theories, mankind's place in the universe and their favourite video games; they seek to assault you with a crushing live and studio sound but leave you feeling uplifted and ready to hit that repeat button.
Their use of synth and electronic elements adds an atmosphere to the music that both gently introduces a more epic feel to their verses and choruses and in other parts gives you something to all out throwdown to!
However, these guys are not your standard synth and breakdown package as they aren't afraid to utilize all elements of the guitar. You can expect soaring technical leads and riffs that will find you searching for guitar tabs immediately after you've heard them.
So far the band have shared a stage with the likes of I Divide, Glamour of the Kill, Skindred and Palisades to name a few, and are set for their first UK tour in June this year.
"Before seeing these guys you better order a new rib cage cuz these guys are just crushing live" - Mike James (Mike James Rock Show)

ROCKFORD - Aldermen put brakes on a plan to demolish the Water Street parking deck until the project can be vetted with downtown businesses that use the space.
The City Council was asked Wednesday to reallocate $200,000 in River Edge Redevelopment Zone funds to raze the two-level deck that is home to Rockford City Market in warmer weather.
Aldermen said tenants in the Waterside Center, which is on Water Street adjacent to the deck, haven't been given the chance to discuss how parking changes would affect their businesses.
The deck would be changed into a surface lot, but exactly how many spaces it would have and how it would be designed haven't been determined.
"I don't have a problem with them tearing it down as long as they provide us adequate parking once it's gone," said Mike White, who owns the building.
Customers drive the need for parking space, and if they don't have adequate parking, they won't come downtown, he said.
City officials see razing the deck as a less expensive option than the $750,000 it would cost in structural repairs it will eventually need and more conducive to the growing City Market.
How much it would cost to raze the deck and build a surface lot wasn't mentioned.
Businesses inside the Waterside Center already make sacrifices to help assure City Market's success, including closing early on Fridays to accommodate the market.
Ald. Tom McNamara said city staff had led City Council members to think that tenants had been included in the discussion about the potential demolition, but he found out before Wednesday's scheduled vote that those talks hadn't happened.
McNamara said it's inexcusable that tenants had not been included in the discussion.
"The tenants and the owners have been fantastic partners with the city. They've been wonderful, compliant partners with (Rock River Development Partnership) and the wonderful City Market."
Attorney Ann Dempsey of Oliver Close, which occupies part of the Waterside Center, said tenants are waiting to see the city's plan for the Water Street lot.
"We support the market and will continue to support the market," she said. "We think there is room for the market to continue to be successful and allow adequate parking for existing businesses."

AC in the ATL!
edited July 2011 in Reverb
Atlanta: Verizon Amphitheatre Friday 7/8/11 - yippee! Georgians, where ya at? And I get to see them 2x in 1 week now! (Atlanta and P'fork Fest in Chicago) Double yippee!
OK, this may be driveable. Edit: Where was this announced? Can't find tickets.
I don't think it's been announced yet. My friend works for Ticketmaster and gave me the heads' up yesterday. Insider information....that's about all her job at the evil TM is good for.
If you hear of any Florida shows, please let me know. It's at least 1000 miles round trip to anywhere outside of FL... Fuckin' peninsula.
Here are the dates announced today, via Pitchfork...I see an Orlando stop on there! 05-14 Minehead, England - All Tomorrow's Parties 05-16 Eastbourne, England - Winter Gardens 05-17 Amsterdam, Netherlands - Paradiso 05-18 Brussels, Belgium - Les Nuit 05-19 Cologne, Germany - Electron 05-20 Berlin, Germany - Melt Wee 05-21 Warsaw, Poland - Stodola 05-22 Krakow, Poland - TBA 05-23 Vienna, Austria - Arena Vienna 05-24 Zagreb, Croatia - Pogon Jedinstvo 05-25 Milan, Italy - Alcatraz 05-26-27 Dudingen, Switzerland - Bad Bonn Festival Kilbi 05-28 Barcelona, Spain - Primavera Sound Festival 07-07 Orlando, FL - Beacham Theatre 07-08 Alpharetta, GA - Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre 07-09 Columbia, MD - Merriweather Post Pavilion 07-12 Brooklyn, NY - Prospect Park Bandshell 07-13 Millvale, PA - Mr. Smalls Theatre 07-15 Chicago, IL - Pitchfork Music Festival
Hopefully they announce most US dates... I NEED to see them this year!!!
Maryland!! This is such great news!
I will be at the Atlanta show, as will deadfly, he was the one who texted me. THIS IS A GLORIOUS DAY. Portal 2 and going to see the AC I saw Arcade Fire here. Place is damn big but if we get there early I'm sure we can get a good spot, it's a nice pit even though it's going to be really hot. still stoked it's outdoors
Sweet! Yeah it's a nice venue, but it gets soooo hot. It's like a bowl underneath the roof, traps all the heat. And mid-July, too. We gonna sweat it out.
Beats chastain and Lakewood though. Gonna be there Sooooooooo early!
Ugh Lakewood is the worst. I don't mind Chastain, except for the people. And it's easy to get free tickets there because of all the comps. So tickets go on sale on Friday at 10am, $30 for ALL tickets!! Definitely going for pit and will definitely be at the show early. We should all meet for one of their tasty frozen drinks before the show.
30$ for ALL shows?? What?
WHAT A DEAL! How are they going to sell well at these places!?
$30 for all tickets, seats and GA, @ the Atlanta show. Don't know prices for other shows.
Funk Raga!
Let's goooooo....! I assume Wini will also be attending.
I hope to be there, I really really want to go!
this is place is big enough that they could bring the "Coachella Cubes"!
[quote="Dave"]If you hear of any Florida shows, please let me know. It's at least 1000 miles round trip to anywhere outside of FL... Fuckin' peninsula.[/quote] I'll see you there! I was planning on driving all the way to Chicago (got the tickets to Pitchfork music festival and everything) until I found out about this show, which is less than an hour away. Love that the tickets are cheap and the venue is small – usually provides a much more personal experience than at a festival.
Look for a long haired guy in tie dye. Edit: New dates announced. Going to Culture Room. Can't find tickets, though! __<" title="mad" />
If its a small venue you're gonna have to be QUICK getting tickets... just warning you. Big Sur sold out in four seconds
WHAT?! You're kidding. Right? That's fucking ridiculous.
Nope... Haha
Wow! Verizon seats 12000 people. How many seats do you guys expect them to sell? What do you think of them playing such a large venue?
Verizon is huge! Pit area is small. Is that what you meant? And tix go on sale Friday @ 10am.
^ ^ ^ ^ For ALL east coast shows?
I meant how well will our boys adapt to a large venue? My opener wish list is: Ariel Pink, Black Dice, Grouper, some form of Bradford Cox
And don't worry, this will not sell out like Big Sur. It's in fucking Alpharetta, which is 45 min north of downtown. And on a Friday with Atlanta shitty traffic. Kinda pissed about the venue, but at least it's outside.
[quote="SpritBear1"]^ ^ ^ ^ For ALL east coast shows?[/quote] For ATL show, not sure about the others. Info should be up on Ticketbastard.
alrightee. Thank you. I'm really hoping to go to the MPP show. wonder how much that'll be.
[quote="Tabelz"]I meant how well will our boys adapt to a large venue? My opener wish list is: Ariel Pink, Black Dice, Grouper, some form of Bradford Cox[/quote] MPP is also pretty big, right? I kinda hope they do a weird, freakout show just to piss off the suburbanites! Hah. And openers, hmm...who else is heading up to P'fork? Oh yeah, DEERHUNTER! A double Ben Allen production! Atlanta represent! And let's add Black Lips for extra fun.
MPP should be incredible! I've heard it's a really big venue too. No worries about selling out super quick... Anyone that goes has to take pics and video!
I will be definitely! I'm so excited! I'm going who knows how early. I want to get up FRONT. Is that even possible? I sure hope so.
Be sure to get a ticket in the pit! AHHH AC better announce a full US tour soon. I simply must see them this year __<" title="mad" />
Hey, do you know if all the AC tix are being sold through ticketmaster? I only see three dates up there at the moment.
I think they're selling them starting on the 22nd. But don't listen to me, I'm probably wrong... ha
I can't find info for other shows. My TM friend only has access to certain ticketing systems. I think it's safe to say that if the on-sale info has not been posted yet, then you have some time. Sorry I can't help! Just come to Atlanta, everyone! I mean, Alpharetta...sigh...
Lol, right? I'd be totally down if someone lends me 400 bucks for gas and a hotel. 3rd and final Edit: if anyone saw that list, disregard. It's from 2 years ago! Lol.
HAHA I was wondering what was going on! Darn, I got all excited for ATP stateside again. Oh well, I've still got 'em 2x in 1 week! ATL-->CHI
That's pretty sick.
Yes! Hi! Hello! Yes, I will be going! Buying tickets now! If I can! Couldn't stop to read whole thread! Wow! Yay!
Yay! We should congregate and give them something from AC.org!!
Man, it looks like a lot of you are going to the Atlanta show. My home town, which is where I'll be during the summer, is 7 hours from Merriweather Post Pavilion and 5 hours from Atlanta. So I think I'm going to try to go to MPP because I think that would be pretty historical. If the ticket prices are the same then I'll almost definitely go to MPP. But who knows. I might end up picking Atlanta anyway.
Breaking News! My Ticketmaster friend just called me and said they are changing the entire seating arrangement for the Atlanta show to General Admission. I can't say I'm happy about this since I wanted to get pit tickets tomorrow and have a secure spot up front. So now it is even more critical to get there super, duper early to get the best spots. The only good thing about the change is we don't have to stress about buying tickets right at 10am tomorrow. And if you want to get a seat up front right behind the pit, that is now possible. Oh and in case you didn't notice, the fucking TM fee is $10.65 on a $30 ticket. So tickets are $40.65. TicketBASTARDS!
Hey I'm only 20 minutes from Alpharetta so great for me We need to meet them togetherz!!! Wini should give us tips on how to meet them!
Do you guys think that tickets will go on sale for all shows at 10 EASTERN? I'm in central time zone right now and I'm planning on getting up five minutes before the MPP tickets go on sale. Which would be 9:00 for me.
If you are going to the Atlanta show, PM me. I doubt I could arrange any kind of meet-the-band but I promise an adventure. The MPP show is the next day so they will probably get in the bus and drive off or sleep. They are daddies now. Dan, I assume all TM times are EST.

I'm in central time zone right now and I'm planning on getting up five minutes before the MPP tickets go on sale. Which would be 9:00 for me.[/quote] Where do you see the MPP tickets on sale? I only see 3 dates on TM right now - Atlanta, Brooklyn and PA. And on a side note, shout out to the 'Boro! I'm from Nashville and drive home to visit fam/friends regularly!

Welcome to PASSC
The Planetary and Space Science Centre (PASSC) opened in April, 2001 and was the first facility of its kind in Canada. PASSC is a growing group of scientists and engineers involved in researching planetary geology, space-related technology and associated applications. PASSC works directly with world-renowned space agencies, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the European Space Agency (ESA), providing direct involvement with two missions to Mars in the near future (Mars Science Laboratory and ExoMars).
The five main functions of PASSC are:
Planetary Research:
The core of PASSC is its research program. The goal is to provide and realize world class training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and senior researchers in science and engineering. Our main areas of activity are investigating planetary materials (including Earth, lunar, martian and asteroid materials), planetary landforms and cratering processes. Click here.
Earth Impact Database:
The Earth Impact Database (EID) is a collection of images, publications and abstracts from around the world (compiled over the last 25 years) that provides information about confirmed impact structures for the scientific community and space enthusiasts. Click here.
Regional and Planetary Image Facility:
The Regional and Planetary Image Facility (RPIF) is one of 17 worldwide NASA-designated facilities providing imagery, maps and data from NASA-led space missions by request.

Did you want me to review it? ;-)
I'll just say what I said earlier,
I'm a Mac fanboy, have been since 1980 when I used my first Apple ][ (48k beast) and then even more so with the //c and first Macs...
I have not liked Android in it's earlier incarnations. It felt unfinished, slow, and just unwieldy. I didn't like it because it wasn't iOS, I didn't like it because for me, it was lacking so much. Anyone using 2.n needs to check out 4.1.n
So, with all that base work in place, let me say...
Android 4.1.1 on the Nexus 7 is brilliant. I didn't expect to like it and came out loving it. It's passed iOS 6 (which I have as an Apple Dev) in many areas. I would recommend a Nexus 7 as a tablet without hesitation (if you don't need 3G). Even if it was priced $100 more it would be a bargain.
Google as done a lot of work to get it where it is now. There are a few things I don't like, but that's true of iOS too...
Back to the article.
I wish wish wish Apple (I don't have much hope for M$) would stop this patent trolling thing and just go back to what they do. I might write a letter to firstname.lastname@example.com and politely ask what is going on (without expecting an answer), maybe all of us here who believe Apple is heading down a path we don't like should - maybe if enough people wrote he might do something (we can but dream can't we).

What's better than an HTC One X+ for T-Mobile? An HTC One X+ for T-Mobile and the UK. According to the latest round of rumors, the HTC Endeavour C2 will be hitting store shelves in the UK on or before October 1st. The HTC Endeavour C2 is said to be identical to the HTC One X+ with a 1.7 GHz Tegra 3 processor, Android 4.1, ClearVoice technology for improved call quality and an updated version of HTC Watch.
According to Stuff, the HTC Endeavour C2 will come with a pair of UrBeats earphones and could come in a few colors. No exact details on pricing are available, but the handset is expected to fetch a £5 monthly premium of the HTC One X for those who pick it up for free on contract.
With the September/October launch period for the HTC One X+ quickly approaching, we wouldn't be surprised if HTC officially announced the phone at IFA 2012 which kicks off on August 31.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. (Feb. 16, 2005) - The Lady Bucs softball squad traveled to face Gardner Webb for an early season non-conference match-up today falling 3-1 in the first game and taking the 6-0 sweep for the victory in game two of the day. Courtney Jenkins (Knoxville, Tenn.) pitched a stellar game in the win for the Bucs, while Brittney Lehrschall (Leland, N.C.) was credited with the save.
Lindsay Lane (Irwin, Tenn.) had a solid day at the plate for the Bucs. Her homerun during the first set of the doubleheader was the only ETSU run in the contest, while her offensive contribution in the second game helped propel the Lady Bucs to their fourth win of the 2005 season.
East Tennessee State struck quick in the second game as Briana Knight (Brier, Wa.) beat
out an infield single with one out in the top of the first. Knight would
come around to score after two GWU errors and a single by Lane.
The Buccaneers kept the offense coming in the second frame as Stephanie
Gaynord (Manassas, Va.) led off the inning with a double, advanced to third on a Stephanie
Cope (Maryville, Tenn.) sacrifice and scored on an Allison Burnette (Ten Mile, Tenn.) RBI single. Gardner-Webb then committed two more errors, allowing ETSU to push across two more runs.
ETSU would add a sixth and final margin in the third inning on an RBI double
off the bat of Jessica Longsinger (Dale City, Va.), and Jenkins kept the GWU bats
silent throughout her six innings of work, allowing just four hits and
striking out three for the win.
ETSU continues action versus Miami and Charlotte in the Charlotte Holiday Inn First Pitch Classic on Feb. 25. Game times are set for 10:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. respectively. Visit ETSUBucs.com for game scores and recaps.

I am over-the-top excited to announce that this month Bella Luna Toys was awarded the
The seal is presented to businesses that go beyond product and service quality to set the highest standards in environmental sustainability and social justice, and work to solve, rather than create, environmental and social problems.
In order to be considered, I was required to fill out an extensive questionnaire documenting Bella Luna Toys' eco-friendly practices and listing the countries of origin and fair trade and/or fair labor practices of all the toy companies whose products we carry.
Once this application was reviewed by Green America, I was sent a list of further questions and requests for documentation and certifications for our Fair Trade toys and documentation of sustainable forestry for our wooden toys.
After a months-long process, I was delighted to finally receive the news that Bella Luna Toys had been granted the prestigious Seal of Approval and permission to display Green America's logo on our website!
Reader's Digest Names Bella Luna Toys "Best Website for Fair Trade Toys"
And if that wasn't enough good news for one month, last week Reader's Digest named Bella Luna Toys as one of the "Best Websites for Fair Trade Toys."
The article was posted in February on the magazine's website. The editors wrote: "Fair Trade is a social movement trying to reduce poverty in developing countries by encouraging fair global trade practices and ensuring an equal and fair partnership between marketers and producers."
What This Means For You
- It means that when you shop for Waldorf toys at Bella Luna Toys, you are assured that all the toys we carry are made in the USA, Europe and Canada, or are Fair Trade made in other parts of the world using Fair Labor practices.
- All of our wooden toys are made from certified sustainable forests, or from salvaged and recycled wood.
- That in mindfulness of the earth's limited resources, we use recycled gift wrapping paper, eco-friendly ribbon, and reuse boxes and packing materials, and recycle our own paper waste. In addition, Bella Luna Toys purchases credits to heat our office and warehouse space with renewable energy.
Hope you'll join me and the thousands of individual members of Green America by choosing to shop with businesses who are committed to supporting the environment and social justice.
Are there any new green, eco-friendly or fair trade toys that you think should be offered at Bella Luna Toys? Leave your suggestions here.
One commenter will be chosen at random to win a FREE set of Eco-Eggs natural egg dyeing kit from Eco-Kids! (Winner will be chosen Friday, March 4 at 9:00 a.m.)
Congratulations to Krista H., winner of a free set of Eco-Eggs natural egg dyeing kit from Eco-Kids!
And many thanks to all of you who left your comments and great suggestions. Many of your ideas were already on the list of new products to add this year, and others gave me some terrific new ideas.
Keep your eyes peeled for many new Waldorf toys, all natural toys, and wooden toys to be added in the coming weeks and months at Bella Luna Toys.

Why Investors Care
STRIPS is an acronym for Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities. A normal Treasury note or bond consists of a principal payment and semiannual interest payments. For example, a 30-year Treasury bond for $1,000 consists of 60 interest payments--one every six months for 30 years--and a principal payment of $1,000 when the bond matures. If this bond gets stripped of its interest (coupon) payments, it becomes a "zero-coupon" bond. The owner doesn't get paid any interest but buys the right to repayment of principal, $1,000, at a deep discount to the face value. Investors buy these to guarantee a certain payment amount at a specific point in the future (e.g. when a child will be ready for college), but don't want income from the bonds over that period.

Nature "Cold Warriors: Wolves and Buffalo" For thousands of years, wolves hunted buffalo across the vast North American plains until the westward settlement of the continent saw the virtual extinction of these vast herds and their eternal predators, the wolves. However, this ancient relationship was not lost altogether and continues uninterrupted in just one location -- on the northern edge of the continent's central plains in a place named Wood Buffalo National Park. Today the ancestors of those ancient buffalo and wolves still engage in epic life and death dramas across this northern land. D

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. –The MIT women's track and field squad swept this week's New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) awards, as Alina Gatowski and Karin Fisher were named the NEWMAC Women's Track and Field Athletes of the Week, respectively. It was the second such honor for Gatowski and the fourth overall for the program this spring.
Gatowski set a new school record and provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championship in the process at Saturday's MIT Invitational. Running at 5,000 meters, Gatowski finished in 17:22.81, besting the old Institute standard by nearly 17 seconds. Gatowski had little competition in the race, as she topped the rest of the field by nearly two minutes, while that time currently ranks as the ninth-best in Division III this year.
Fisher cleared 11-8.50 feet to win the pole vault competition at the Spring Invite. The mark was good enough to provisionally qualify for the NCAA Championship and match her outdoor personal best. She currently sits in a tie for the 14th best mark in the country.
Gatowski and Fisher will look to help the Engineers, who are currently the No. 6 team in the nation, win their second straight NEWMAC Championship this weekend. Tech's title defense begins Saturday, April 24 at 11:00 a.m. at Springfield College.

Aboard the USS Truxtun last spring, Tom Hanks and director Paul Greengrass were about to shoot what they hoped would be a powerful scene in their new movie, "Captain Phillips," when a Navy captain intervened.
"He said, 'You know that would never happen,'" Greengrass said.
It was a delicate moment in the production. Working in the claustrophobic spaces of a U.S. Navy destroyer sailing off the coast of Virginia, the cast and crew had prepared for a shot where two key characters converge. Instead, after conferring with the captain, they quickly changed their dramatic course, and Greengrass enlisted a Navy medic to improvise with Hanks.
PHOTOS: Tom Hanks - Career in pictures
"It was hairy," Hanks said of shooting the emotional sequence.
The resulting depiction of shock and disorientation is one of the most memorable scenes in Hanks' 29-year film career.
"Captain Phillips" is based on the true story of Richard Phillips, a merchant mariner who was captaining the Maersk Alabama, an American cargo ship, when Somali pirates hijacked it in 2009 and the U.S. Navy undertook a dramatic rescue. From a screenplay by Billy Ray inspired by Phillips' memoir, Greengrass shot the logistically complex thriller on the open ocean off ports in Malta, Morocco and Virginia, with a cast of young Somali American men appearing in their first acting roles and a flotilla of sets that included a working container ship, two Navy destroyers and an aircraft carrier.
The movie, which opens Oct. 11, pits two captains, Hanks' Phillips and a desperate Somali pirate named Muse (newcomer Barkhad Abdi), against each other in the unforgiving waters of the global economy. Captain Phillips is trying to deliver 17,000 metric tons of cargo to Mombasa, Kenya, including electronics, textiles, cars and food aid ultimately bound for Somalia; Muse is trying to deliver a fat ransom payment to a Somali warlord.
Sailing together
In the commissary on the Sony Pictures lot in Culver City last weekend, Greengrass and Hanks described what the director called the "three-legged race" of making "Captain Phillips" together with their crew of 200. Greengrass, his shaggy gray hair flopping into his wire-rim glasses, was intense and weary from travel. Hanks, smartly groomed for two public screenings happening that night, was avuncular and upbeat. ("People are usually smart and nice. Are you smart and nice?" he asked a reporter.)
They're an unlikely pair. Hanks, 57, became Hollywood's A-list everyman by playing a collection of affable heroes, an HIV-positive attorney in "Philadelphia" (for which he won his first Oscar), a slow-witted Alabamian in "Forrest Gump" (for which he won his second), a gruff World War II Army captain in "Saving Private Ryan." The British-born Greengrass, 58, built his career as a documentarian before turning to propulsive real-life thrillers such as the Northern Ireland-set drama "Bloody Sunday" and the 9/11 hijacking story "United 93" and the more commercial spy movies of the Jason Bourne franchise.
"He's the boss, I'm the guy," Hanks said. "But boy, we better be making the same movie here, otherwise it's gonna be really difficult."
Hanks, attracted by a contemporary hero's story, came aboard the project first, and met with Phillips early on to learn about his experiences.
"The burden of being a captain is the thing that was a surprise to me," Hanks said. "It's a pressure-filled job that never stops. How much fuel and how fast you're burning it and when you're supposed to be in Mombasa and who you're going to have to bribe once you get into a port."
(Even 41/2 years after the hijacking, that responsibility is still weighing on Phillips; nine members of his 20-man crew are suing the shipping company for endangering them, saying Phillips ignored warnings about pirates in the area.)
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
Greengrass joined the production later, after producers Scott Rudin, Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti persuaded him that they wanted more than an adventure tale, he said. "Lots of films could have been made about this material," Greengrass said. "What they wanted was raw, authentic, complex. They didn't want it simple."
Picturing pirates
Somalia's combination of extreme poverty and political instability has made it fertile ground for the criminal enterprise of piracy. In 2009, when the film takes place, Somali hijackings were on the rise, with 45 other vessels attacked that year. Since then, as shipping companies have employed armed security guards and international naval forces have arrested more than 1,000 pirates, the practice has diminished.
Greengrass wanted to portray the pirates as victims of economic pressures. An early scene where too many men vie for too few spots on a pirate skiff is deliberately reminiscent of the longshoremen crowding the docks in "On the Waterfront."
When Hanks and Greengrass embarked on the project, they discussed the point of the movie over a series of phone calls and meetings.
"We decided it was about, 'Are we going to be OK?'" Greengrass said. "And we wrote it down on a little piece of paper, which I've still got."
PHOTOS: Billion-dollar movie club
Anyone who followed the news reports of Captain Phillips' story knows the answer to that question — the captain lives and has even attended some early promotional screenings of the film.
But for Hanks, who will appear this year in the rather different role of Walt Disney in the movie "Saving Mr. Banks," the drama was in the man himself. "Everybody knows how 'Rigoletto' ends, but they still go to see the interpretation of the character," he said.
"You have to make a film without knowledge of where it ended up," Greengrass said. "If you can create your story in an unfolding present tense … that's where character exists."
The film begins with Captain Phillips' wife, Andrea (Catherine Keener), dropping him off at the airport and worrying about their children but moves quickly to the decks of the cargo ship, with a cast including Michael Chernus ("The Bourne Legacy") as Phillips' second in command and David Warshofsky ("There Will be Blood") as his engineer. Max Martini ("Pacific Rim") is the Navy SEAL commander on the scene, and the men under him are played by former SEALs.
To create a feeling of immediacy on set, Greengrass took the unusual step of casting four Somali Americans who had never acted before to play the pirates — Abdi, Barkhad Abdirahamn, Faysal Ahmed and Mahat M. Ali. The roles, particularly Abdi's, would require a sense of menace and vulnerability.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
Casting directors Francine Maisler and Debbie DeLisi found their lanky young pirate crew in the Somali immigrant community of Minneapolis, where Abdi responded to an ad for an open casting call that appeared on a local TV channel.
Within months, Abdi, whose family won a green card lottery to come to the U.S. when he was 14, was training to film on the unstable pirate skiffs. "We learned swimming, fights, stunts, climbing," said Abdi, 28. "I have a thing for danger."
Greengrass deliberately kept Abdi and the pirate actors from meeting Hanks and the men portraying the Alabama's crew to capture a moment of excitement on camera and to prevent Hanks' stardom from intimidating the new actors.
It worked. When they shot the scene of the pirates storming the bridge of the Alabama, Hanks said, "For the first take it was incredibly harrowing. And the second take it was incredibly harrowing. And the third take we remembered how harrowing it was. And then by the fourth take, we were saying, 'Hey, nice to meet you.'"
Greengrass' unrehearsed, hand-held method of filmmaking, learned through his documentary background, is particularly conducive to newcomers, Hanks said.
THE ENVELOPE: Full film festival coverage
"There were no marks to hit," Hanks said. "There wasn't any technical thing that they had to learn how to do. Usually it's, 'Hey, can you not overlap? You yelled at him over his line.' There was never any of that stuff. So they were in the environment and they were ready to go."
Getting sea legs
Shooting on real ships added to the production's authenticity and its inconveniences. The crew carried the cameras and lights up six flights on the cargo ship, "and there are a lot of places to bonk your head and stub your toe," Hanks said. Others filming from small Zodiac boats alongside the large ships got seasick.
"I always thought the fun of it would be to shoot on real ships," said Greengrass, whose father was a seaman. "It made you shoot in a way that had a sort of atmosphere about it, because you couldn't float walls out and put the camera where you want."
Producer Greg Goodman negotiated for the container ship used in the film and worked with the Navy, which was eager to cooperate on a movie that showed one of the service's finer recent moments.
"There was this one tiny red button … that when Richard Phillips pushed it, signals went out all over the world," Hanks said. "Navy SEALs started packing their gear not knowing what was going to happen. Thousands of people became involved, and that's even before the ships showed up."
The film, which relies on urgent camera work by Greengrass' longtime cinematographer, Barry Ackroyd, and rhythmic cutting by his editor Christopher Rouse, got a warm reception from critics upon its premiere at the New York Film Festival last week.
Many singled out Hanks' moment with the Navy medic: The Hollywood Reporter called it "an extraordinary scene, one for which there is little precedent," and Variety said it was "an eruption of emotional fireworks of exactly the sort Oscar dreams are made of."
"We're in an era cinematically dominated by superheroes," Greengrass said. "He's made this wonderful career based on playing ordinary men.... You don't have special powers, or extraordinary physical strength or mental agility.... You've got to operate within what's believable or authentic … but if you do that, as Tom does, what you find is this rich reservoir of humanity."

Player contracts are not worth the paper they are written on. One second your star man is signing a bumper five-year contract and professing his love for the club, the next a series of 'sources' are linking him with a move and he is seen dining with the manager of a rival club. As meaningless as a playing contract can be, a manager's contract can mean even less.
Alan Pardew signed an eight-year contract at Newcastle, but if the Geordies were to find themselves in the Championship you can bet that contract would be torn up. Likewise, when the Aston Villa job became available Paul Lambert resigned from his role at Norwich and walked straight in at Villa Park. Both Lambert and Norwich sued each other for breach of contract and, six months after he switched to Villa, a settlement was finally reached.
In Sam Allardyce's case, it is unlikely a better job than the one in East London will ever become available. Despite their rollercoaster form over the last decade, the future looks bright for West Ham. Being a London team can make them a popular destination for potential signings, the move to the Olympic Stadium looks to be finally reaching a resolution, and despite a poor run of results, the Hammers look to have enough to avoid relegation. West Ham would have plenty of interested parties if the manager's seat was vacant, while 'Big Sam' does not have many alternatives on the table.
So, West Ham hold all the cards. After the disaster that was the Icelandic experiment, personified by the baffling Eggert Magnusson as chairman, much work was needed to stop money leaking out of the club and for West Ham to get back onto a firmer financial footing. David Gold and David Sullivan took over West Ham and continued to invest money into the playing squad even when the side was relegated in 2011. The appointment of Allardyce indicated the owners' ambitions, and along with the signings of Kevin Nolan, Abdoulaye Faye, Ricadro Vaz Te and others, the Hammers bounced back at the first time of asking.
With the new TV deal kicking in next season, Premier League survival is vital. If West Ham did find themselves relegated again, the purse strings would finally be tightened and the manager, his large backroom staff and a lot of the players he has signed would be moved on. If they stay up, Allardyce would have some funds to improve the team, while some of the new TV money could be used to cut the club's debts and help secure their long-term future.
Giving Allardyce a contract now might provide stability in the short term, but at what cost should the club go down? Allardyce has few other options, and a lot of the players are Allardyce's men, having played for him at Bolton and/or Newcastle, so they could find their careers on the line if their manager leaves. Everyone should be fighting together to make sure West Ham stay in the Premier League next season, and with that determination and togetherness there is no need for the owners to do anything. The manager and the players have enough to fight for (above professional pride), they should not need the reassurance that the manager will be here next season come what may.
The West Ham owners need to balance short-term aims with long-term stability, especially after the mismanagement of previous regimes. If Allardyce keeps West Ham up then he will be fully entitled to a new contract, but until that day comes, he should not get a new deal.

Ovarian hypofunction is reduced function of the ovaries (including decreased production of hormones).
Alternative Names
Premature ovarian failure; Ovarian insufficiency
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Ovarian hypofunction may be caused by genetic factors such as chromosome abnormalities, or it may occur with certain autoimmune disorders thatdisrupt normal ovarian function.
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can also cause ovarian hypofunction.
Women with ovarian hypofunction may develop symptoms of menopause, which includes:
- Hot flashes
- Irregular or absent periods
- Mood swings
- Night sweats
- Vaginal dryness
Ovarian hypofunction may also make it difficult for a woman tobecome pregnant.
Signs and tests
A blood test will be done to check your level of follicle-stimulating hormone, or
Other blood tests may be done to look for autoimmune disorders or thyroid disease.
Women with ovarian hypofunction who want to become pregnant may be particularly concerned about their ability to conceive. Those younger than age 30 may undergo a chromosome analysis to check for problems. Older women approaching menopause do not usually need this test.
Estrogen therapy often helps relieve menopausal symptoms and prevents bone loss. However, it will not increase your chances of becoming pregnant. Less than 1 in 10 women withovarian hypofunction will be able to get pregnant. The chance of successfully getting pregnant increases to 50% when usinga fertilized donor egg (an egg from another woman).
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you are no longer having monthly periods, have symptoms of early menopause, or if you are having difficulty becoming pregnant.

Soyuz launcher transferred to launch pad
Early this morning, the Soyuz launcher that will bring ESA astronaut Frank De Winne to the International Space Station for his six-month OasISS mission was transferred to the launch pad at Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazahkstan. The launch is scheduled for 12:34 CEST on 27 May.
The Soyuz launcher arrived at launch pad 1 following a two-hour journey from the integration building. The launcher was erected on the launch pad later in the day after a delay caused by high winds at the launch site.
Also today, De Winne and his two Soyuz TMA-15 crewmates, Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk, participated in the traditional tree-planting ceremony at the Cosmonauts Hotel in Baikonur.

Emergency crews are on the scene of a head-on crash in Fall River that ended a high-speed pursuit by federal and state authorities this evening.
According to State Police, the FBI spotted the suspect of several bank robberies driving a gray, late-model Chrysler 300 on Route 24. State Police joined the chased at Route 44 in Middleboro and followed the vehicle until it exited the highway in Fall River.
State Police said they apprehended a suspected bank robber at gunpoint following a head-on crash in Fall River that ended a high-speed highway pursuit by federal and state authorities from Raynham early Monday night.
According to State Police, the FBI spotted a man suspected of several bank robberies driving a Chrysler on Route 24 southbound in Raynham on Tuesday afternoon. State Police joined the chase, following the vehicle until it exited the highway in Fall River, where it crashed while traveling the wrong way on Bedford Street.
Authorities identified the suspect as Scott Niemic, whose last known address was in Boston.
He was transported under police guard to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, where he was expected to be treated and discharged. He will then be turned over to Warwick, R.I., police, who have a warrant for his arrest on a bank robbery charge, State Police spokesman David Procopio said.
No charges besides that warrant were divulged.
About a dozen State Police and at least one FBI agent were on the scene shortly before 5:30 p.m., in front of the Central Fire Station on Bedford Street, where Niemic's car had been driving the wrong way at a high speed when it crashed.
Authorities were pursuing the suspect for his alleged involvement in seven bank robberies in Massachusetts and one in Rhode Island. State Police are not disclosing the locations of those robberies because the investigation is ongoing, Procopio said. The FBI is also involved with the investigation into the robberies.
A state trooper said they recovered funds, and bills were visible from the opened Chrysler, according to a witness. It was not known how much was recovered.
"Physical evidence was recovered from the car at the scene of the crash," Procopio said. "No further information about the evidence is being released."
The driver traveled the wrong way on Bedford Street. crashed into another car at the Troy/High streets intersection, and took down the latter pole stanchion.
Firefighters used extrication tools to remove victims from the two cars, according to District Fire Chief Douglas Sullivan, who said both drivers were taken to hospitals.
"I heard the crash. I came downstairs and State Police were already here," Sullivan said.
State Police reported that Niemic "suffered minor injuries when he crashed. No one else was injured," according to their press release.
Rescue crews with State Police nearby removed the suspect from the full-sized Chrysler with Massachusetts plates that authorities said they were pursuing. Both front airbags in that vehicle deployed on impact.
The front ends of both cars were demolished.
The driver of the second car, a red Ford Contour compact, traveling in the correct direction toward downtown, was extricated by firefighters who removed the driver's side door. State Police did not identify him.
Fall River Police were summoned to assist at the crash scene, but officers there and at headquarters said they had no knowledge about the circumstances or how the suspect entered the city from the highway.
"It's strictly the State Police," said a sergeant on the city force, who declined to give his name.
State Police said they towed Niemic's car to their facility, where it will be processed for evidence by forensic specialists and the Bristol County State Police Detective Unit.
The investigation is ongoing by troopers and agents assigned to the FBI's Robbery/Violent Crimes Task Force, State Police detectives, Troop D of the State Police and Warwick Police.
"He will likely face additional charges beyond the Rhode Island warrant," Procopio said.
