This is at the sound check for Robin Fox's gig at Cafe Oto last Sunday.
I played my set just before Rob came on with his computer rig that plays the sounds his software generates as both audio and as waveforms projected across the room with a laser.
My piece was pretty good, I guess, but then who's going to remember when it's immediately followed by this?
My own drab little table of gear just tried to look inconspicuous behind the smoke machine.
How's this for short notice? I'm the last minute addition to Cafe Oto's amazing Robin Fox gig tomorrow night. I'll be playing a set of live analogue electronic feedback opening for Rob's laser and synth rampage. Details here.
This is the fourth version of this painting I've made and I'm starting to get the hang of it. The process is more efficient, I'm getting better control of the colour, and doing just enough to completely obscure the original cover art. I always wanted a series, to show up differences created by human fallibility and indiscriminate entropy.
The bottom right image above shows the "finished" painting, although it won't be complete until it has been sufficiently "matured". The first one I painted is starting to wear out nicely.
"Would you like to join a society called Capitalists Inc.? (Just so no one would think we were Communists.) Anyone joining automatically becomes president. To join you must show you've destroyed at least one hundred records…"
— John Cage, Lecture on Nothing, 1949.
It's John Cage's 100th birthday today, and like everyone else I think I'm the only person who gets what Cage was really about and it just happens to align exactly with my own way of thinking.
I can't remember if it was Cage himself or someone he was quoting who made the Sphinx-like statement that the opposite of every idea is another good idea. For all my infatuation with Cage's music, I still like to take the kill-the-Buddha approach to his ideas and see what happens when they are deliberately opposed or misinterpreted.
I Am The President Of Capitalists Inc. was a performance and art exhibition I made in 2003. Its premise was to misunderstand Cage's intellectual teasing quoted above and interpret it as a literal instruction for some sort of expressionist, confrontational, bourgeoisie-titillating aktion – all of which are opposed to Cage's aesthetics.
To add insult to injury, my performance was conducted with the air of a re-enactment of a once-vital artistic statement which has since been embraced by the regime it once opposed and stripped of all subversive potency.
The golf club was a last minute idea, as I found it in a cupboard in a back room of the gallery. I now understand why golfers wear gloves.
Once all the records were smashed, I handed out business cards commemorating my new status. The room was left in that state for the rest of the exhibition: broken records, beer bottles and sundry detritus. A television was placed in the back corner playing the video of the performance, with the screen angled away so punters had to walk over the pile of rubbish to see what was going on.
During the exhibition some unexpected events took place in that room, but I'll save that for another time, soon.
I had ticket number 193 in the queue for standing room that went round the corner past Imperial College, 90 minutes before the gig started. There were empty seats on the night, but the Royal Albert Hall had sold out. This is the second time this year I've had to queue around the block for a John Cage gig. I had tried to get to one of the performances of Europeras 1 and 2 in Germany this summer, but they sold out three months in advance.
Young Cage famously dedicated his life to beating his head against the wall of harmony. Twenty years after his death, he's still beating his head against the wall of his reputation. Fans and detractors alike still want to make exceptions for him.
The breadth of his musical output is hard to comprehend. I've read one review complaining that the Prom didn't highlight the humour and playfulness in Cage's music. Cage is slowly shedding layers of mythology: that he's a charlatan, that he's a novelty act, that his ideas are more interesting than his music, that he's a humorist, that he'll soon be forgotten. Remnants of all of these layers still cling to him. Expecting one 3-and-a-half hour concert to summarise his entire career is an insult, as it would be for any other great composer.
The Prom's curator credited his audience with the intelligence to appreciate different styles and periods throughout Cage's career while sustaining a consistent mood throughout.
The tone of the evening was set by beginning with 1O1 – a large orchestra on stage playing without a conductor. It's a late piece, not so familiar to most of the punters and somewhat unusual even compared to the rest of Cage's output. The audience settles into the strangeness and get caught up in the almost imperceptible subtleties created by each string player bowing a different note col legno, almost inaudibly. Later, we become aware of the buzz of a bullroarer, somewhere high up in the gallery.
The use of space in the Royal Albert Hall is remarkable. It feels completely natural for so many of the pieces to be played from different parts of the space, and the Hall seems to be the ideal venue for Cage. Once again I'm glad I got the cheap ticket to stand in the arena.
I think everyone was taken by surprise at how beautiful ear for EAR (Antiphonies) is: a brief call and response between Joan La Barbara alone on stage, echoed and transformed by singers from Exaudi hidden away in the balconies. Cage usually kept his melodies modal, but here poignant little chromatic inflections appear from time to time, like an unresolved cadence.
If there's a statement to be made anywhere in the concert, it's when David Behrman and Takehisa Kosugi enter the arena to play Cartridge Music. Their selection of materials to amplify seems casual, their playing abrasive and abrupt. Then they move to a mixing console and perform the piece again, surrounded by four pianists playing Winter Music. Amongst the isolated, discordant clusters emanating from the pianos, Behrman and Kosugi use the score of Cartridge Music to selectively amplify and relocate around the hall various instruments in the orchestra on stage, playing Atlas eclipticalis. The effect is both disorientating and immersive, a disjointed multiplicity coalescing into a unified whole. Not on tonight's programme: In A Landscape, Sonatas and Interludes, or 4'33".
If Cage had genius, it was for having really great ideas and then hiding them. Christian Marclay's piece Baggage was premiered, in which a full orchestra play on nothing but their instrument cases. The sounds are fun and it all comes across as an enjoyable wheeze. Compare this to the way Cage uses the radio in the Concerto for Prepared Piano and Chamber Orchestra, where in a few fleeting instances you're not sure what you've heard. Marclay gave us an idea presented as entertainment; Cage gave us music.
There were no BBC Radio 3 announcers on stage. Good.
I was kind of starstruck by all the performers assembled for this gig, and seeing them all assembled in one place doing their thing was a big part of the thrill for the night. That the programme listed practically all of them as their first appearance at the Proms felt both condescending and damning.
Afterwards, a friend said that she felt the Concerto was almost too "classical" in its gestures and expressivity, in the context of the other pieces played on the night.
Early in the programme, Improvisation III gave us an ambient soundscape that emanated from various hidden recesses of the darkened hall. At the end of the night, Branches presented another improvisational work, with a distinctive but similarly haunting atmosphere. Both pieces are obviously composed, but it was equally evident that the musicians actions producing the sound could not have been notated. It seems that everyone agrees that the actual improvisation between Christian Wolff, Keith Rowe, Behrman and Kosugi felt a bit flat and awkward.
Branches, for amplified plant materials, was performed here by over 20 musicians scattered throughout the hall, high and low. On paper it seemed like a subdued way to end the night. As it turned out, you were surrounded by sounds of all kinds. In this interpretation the piece was somewhere between a composition and an environment, the space wholly transformed by sound alone. The sounds were quiet, transparent, and as your attention moved from one place to another you realised that the musician nearest you was making sounds that would be inaudible to anyone further away. You began to notice the smallest little noise that could travel across the hall. No-one's attention was being directed, but everyone's attention was focussed. In that state of attentiveness, you realised something remarkable had happened: no-one was coughing.
Listening back to the radio broadcast, it's amazing how everything on the night seemed to go on for longer than it actually did. Usually this would be a criticism, but when experiencing it in place I wanted it all to go on longer. Each piece created its own sense of time.
I guess everyone has got a story in their head about how and why they came to hold their present aesthetic and cultural values. When Robert Hughes died last week it reminded me that my own formative experience was when I was a little kid and happened to see an early episode of The Shock of the New. I was sufficiently absorbed by it that my parents let me stay up late once each week to watch the rest of the series.
I've never owned a copy of the book or rewatched the series on video; in fact I'm not sure that I've ever seen the first episode or two. Nevertheless, I am convinced that the images and ideas from that show were imprinted in my memory, and formed the mould into which all my subsequent thinking about art have been poured.
Up until then, my understanding of art was no deeper than the popular caricature of High Culture. I wondered why every artist seemed to be dead. My folks had a Time-Life book of Great Artists I'd flip through, which had Picasso, Matisse and Chagall in it, but I couldn't understand why their paintings were weird and kind of ugly. When Robert Hughes talked about Dada, I suddenly found a type of modern art where I "got" what they were saying about the world. It had a point which seemed clear but which couldn't easily be put into words – and that's how I learned what art was about.
Similar formative experiences came later in my mid-teens, but then I was on the lookout for equivalent models of modernity in music and literature. My parents had another series of books about artists which ended with Duchamp, so that became my supplement guidebook to what I'd seen on TV. In writing, I read a bit of Pound and Eliot in school and then searched out more for myself, finding Hugh Kenner's The Pound Era, which opened up an entire alternative history of twentieth-century culture. Almost by coincidence, I got hold of Guy Davenport's essays in The Geography of the Imagination, which set out a wider set of orientation points for modern writing and beyond. In one essay he observes that "all true education is unconscious seduction."
I was looking around for "strange" music and picked up all sorts of odds and ends. The minimalists provided the most apparent style from outside the conventional tradition, but the real educational experience came from a series of radio programmes Edward Cowie made for the ABC, called Towards New Music. Later episodes focused on particular themes or composers, including one dedicated to John Cage and like-minded artists. At that time Cage was a person I'd heard of without really knowing anything about him other than that he seemed guaranteed to be fascinating. He was, and as a bonus Cowie played a few minutes of Paragraph 7 from Cornelius Cardew's The Great Learning.
It was the first episodes, however, that got me hooked. Cowie attempted to start from first principles, discussing the nature and purpose of sound-making with an improvising orchestra of kindergarten kids, and critiquing how we are educated and socialised into a culture of music. It probably helped that Cowie is a painter as well as composer, allowing him to see a wider range of issues than the technical debates that clutter up too many histories of music.
However much I may have loved playing music, listening to it, reading or whatever, what truly caught up my imagination was these histories, showing how and why we had come to be doing what we do now, and how much more it is possible to do.
Here's your chance to hear all the pieces composed for the Interior Design: Music for the Bionic Ear project last year, complete with interviews with the composers. ABC Classic FM has been interviewing each of us over the past few weeks and are now uploading a series of podcasts documenting the project.
My piece, This Is All I Need, and my interview with Stephen Adams, are now online for your listening enjoyment. The rest of the series is worth checking out too.
If I sound a little vague when talking, it's because I'd stayed up into the small hours to talk with Stephen over Skype. It was interesting to talk again about the various thought processes that went into making the piece, and I think the interview brought these out rather well.
All the elements were in place for a disaster. Cafe Oto can be hot and stuffy in the best circumstances but after several intense summer days, followed by an evening of clouds and rain, the room became a sweaty, airless torture chamber. The musicians were jet lagged, having flown in from mid-winter Australia the day before. They'd had about 40 minutes of rehearsal since arriving, which is about half the length of the piece of music they were meant to play. Outside, a DJ was entertaining partygoers on the rooftop of the building next door.
On top of all that Patterns In A Chromatic Field is one of Feldman's most recondite pieces. Added to its length and awkward rhythms, which are to be expected, the texture abruptly switches back and forth from relatively frenetic thickets of notes to prolonged moments of absolute torpor. The cello part demands extended passages of artificial harmonics, written in perverse note spellings that seem to insist on microtonal inflection. Finally, as mentioned before, the piano at Oto is frankly b0rked.
Was it rough around the edges? I suppose it was, in a way. The players themselves certainly thought so. But then the venue's pretty rough too. This is no concert hall, what with next door's party leaking through the windows and a bar still serving punters at the back of the room. I don't think anyone went to the bar during the performance. One or two loo breaks, a couple of people going out for fresh air; apart from that, no-one in the place moved once Golden Fur started playing. As everyone settled in, musos and punters alike hooked into the same concentration, the same determination, and never let go. There's no need for signs here like at the old Luminaire telling everyone to shut up.
Patterns has always been seen as an anomaly in Feldman's oeuvre. It seems that Feldman wasn't entirely happy with it, and this may have been down in part to the wrong-headed performances it received in his lifetime. Whatever the flaws Golden Fur perceived in their performances on the night, they were quite rightly overlooked as trivial by everyone else, in favour of the understanding and interpretation the musicians brought to such a contrary score. If he could forgive the conditions, Feldman would probably not have regretted staying to listen.
So what happened to that painting?
I finally added a (the) second colour. It didn't go so well. Remedial steps were needed.
A few extra coats and things were about as good as they'd ever be.
Now comes the final step. I'll just stick this under here.
It'll have to age for a while down there. I'm not sure how long, but at least a few weeks. In the meantime I've started another two paintings, same as before… only better!
Here is my new piece of music. It is called Symphony and there is a video to go with it, if you like that sort of thing. I feel obliged to make a video when I host music on YouTube. It's in HD so the sound should be OK and you can full-screen the vid for a nice ambient experience until you get bored and want to check Facebook again.
As I was saying, after finishing String Quartet No. 2 (Canon in Beta): that piece began as an attempt to emulate Phill Niblock's music without having heard it. I had gotten the idea that it generally involved someone playing one note over and over again, overdubbing it lots of times until it created a blur of sound distinct in identity yet ambiguous in character.
Upon closer inspection Niblock's technique turned out to be a bit more complex than that, which was slightly disappointing. On the upside, it left the way clear for me.
As it turned out, making String Quartet No.2 (Canon in Beta) entailed some satisficing in its material. Symphony gets closer to the original conception of one aspect of the piece (a single pitch), and yet further away from another (diverse instrumentation). The piece therefore has less harmony (and become closer to my original understanding of Niblock's music) but greater timbral diversity (unlike Niblock's pieces for multiples of the same instrument). For me, the interest in making this piece was to discover what is lost and gained in the trade-off between timbre and harmony, and to find out which of these two unfaithful copies is closer to the model they seek to imitate. As a piece of music in its own right, it exists to be a cheap imitation, reminiscent of something else yet unmistakably itself.
The video component of Symphony was made soon after the music was completed. Like the music, it is a monochrome. The screen is filled with a series of shades of blue, each shade created through chance operations. Each blue is subject to several simultaneous processes and transitions, from one shade to the next. Why blue? It's a cool, receding primary colour. Besides its more obvious references to Derek Jarman and Yves Klein, I was thinking mostly of John Cage's selection of colours when making Changes and Disappearances, where every tint had to include at least a small amount of blue because he "wanted the colours to look like they had been to grad school."
I'm obsessed with the idea of making art and music in which 99% of the work is mental conceptualisation and preparation, with the actual execution being the finishing 1%. The idea that the ideal piece is a manifestation of thought, with the most minimal physical intervention. There is no need to rework, or change direction, strive for an effect or tell a story. Everything flows with an elegant logic as a neat series of consequences from a single point of origin, and may be appreciated for its substance and its surface without resort to aesthetic argument.
Basically, I like to sit around thinking about making stuff, but spend as little time as possible actually making it. The artistic challenge is to think up work that can sustain this half-assed method.
Thanks for asking how the painting's coming along. The answer is, "not that great" but that's because I'm not that great at painting. Some thoughts so far:
I can't put it off any longer. I'm going to talk a bit about the Collected Collaborations exhibition at MUMA last year.
My part of the show was an eight-page newspaper, compiled along with similar contributions by the rest of the Redrawing collective. This was the follow-up show to the original Redrawing exhibition back in 2008.
Redrawing included the audio-visual installation version of my String Quartet No. 2 (Canon in Beta). For the Collected Collaborations show I went into greater details discussing aspects of the piece's creation, and the consequences of making the piece which had arisen from participating in the show.
At the end of my newspaper segment, I wrote a brief article about my future plans for works art and music which build on the lessons I learned from the exhibition. It's a bit of a blur now, so let's see what I wrote:
Besides the projected series of visual works based upon the spectrogram of String Quartet No. 2, two more musical compositions are planned in a similar vein. In one, following the principle of technical and conceptual distortion, an attempt will be made to reverse the process used to render the sound as a spectrogram. By producing a computer-synthesised soundfile that reproduces the frequency profile of the spectrogram as closely as possible, it is expected that the resulting music will diverge significantly from the original music on which the spectrogram is based. What this music may sound like is open to speculation.
Speculate no more! Here it is, with accompanying video.
The other composition is one which gets closer to the original conception to some aspects of the piece, and yet further away from others. The work in progress, titled Symphony, is based on a single pitch but uses a large array of different instruments. The sounds used will be subjected to the exact same processes as those used in String Quartet No. 2. This new piece will therefore have less harmony (and become closer to my original understanding of Niblock's music) but greater timbral diversity (unlike Niblock's pieces for multiples of the same instrument). For me, the interest in making this piece is to discover what is lost and gained in the trade-off between timbre and harmony, and to find out which of these two unfaithful copies is closer to the model they seek to imitate.
I just finished this piece on the weekend, and I'm pretty excited about it. I think I'm a bit tight on server space but will try to upload some more about this asap.
Both of these works are planned for completion in late 2011.
Close enough.
I intend them to form part of an ongoing series of compositions made with the aim of producing two or more works which are all but indistinguishable from each other, whether in relation to the music of another composer or not. Again, although this is an accepted practice in the visual arts, in music it has been confined to questions of execution and interpretation, and not of composition.
I first posted this many years ago. I've now started a new painting, for the first time since this last effort described below. The new painting will be a copy of the old painting, as I kind of miss it now. Someone in Melbourne has it, I think.
My last attempt to make a painting was not entirely happy. Having promised to paint something for an exhibition due the next day, I found an old box of cheap Chinese foil tubes of oil paints. Most of them had partly or completely dried out, and split open when I tried to squeeze some paint out of them. At least I got blue and yellow, two thirds of the primary colours. Also, I found a brush, which was useful. It was sufficiently frayed at both ends to make me spend a few seconds figuring out which was designed for applying paint. When I started painting I remembered that (a) oil paint needs thinner and (b) I don't have any thinner. It was a very thickly-textured painting, and may still be drying to this day. The next revelation was that when you need to change colours, the brush has to be rinsed out (cf. points a and b, above). A solution of Sard Wonder Soap does the job nicely, but don't expect it to improve the consistency of your paint.

Sahara One is
all set to launch two women-oriented soaps, 'Solah Singaarr' and 'Kuch Apne Kuch Paraye' ('KAKP'), once the Diwali and Eid festivities fade out. While 'Solah Singaarr' goes on air from October 30, 'KAKP' will premiere on November 13. Both the shows will air from Monday to Friday.
"Solah Singaarr' will air in the 8.30pm slot, replacing 'Hare Kkanch Ki Choodiyan', which is rolling to an end. The slot for 'KAKP' is yet to be decided, although it, too, will air in a prime-time slot.
'Solah Singaarr' revolves around the life of a young, carefree girl belonging to a rich family in Benares. Lost in her own world, she is unaware of the underlying friction in her parents' marriage. Through some unfortunate circumstances in her family, she is transformed from a dreamy girl into a mature, progressive woman, ready to face life's challenges.
'KAKP' revolves around the age-old debate of whether a daughter-in-law can ever become a daughter of the house. This drama traces the life of a woman married into a wealthy household and her struggle for acceptance as a daughter of the household.
Shantonu Aditya, CEO, Sahara One Television, says, "These issues are very true to life. Our aim is to present them in an entertaining manner. In 'KAKP', we have tried to capture the essence of a father-in-law's relationship with his daughter-in-law and how she fulfills her role as his companion, peer and mentor."

Four years old
Phenix City, Alabama, USA
heodore King is our rabbit, he is almost four years old now. We think he is a satin, but as he is a rescue, do not know for sure. Theodore Is a sweet guy. We found him in a pet store that took in older bunnies to rehome them. We think he was about one at the time. A bunny at the store had beaten him up and we wanted an adult. He came home that day. He walked like a bunny who had been in a small cage all the time and was unable to move much. He would not let us touch him and was very scared of us. If we twitched while near him, he would spray us. We had him neutered and spent time just being near him. Eventually he warmed up to us and started liking us. That was in 2005.
In July of 2007 he became very ill. He had head tilt and ear infection and he could not be left alone. He would move his head the wrong way and lose all equilibrium and start rolling around. After five weeks of 24-hour-a-day supervision and medicine three times a day, he finally became better. He still has a bit of a tilt which he uses to his advantage. When he wants something the tilt gets more pronounced.
Something amazing happened while he was sick. He changed. He had liked us but he was still reserved. It's like he thought he would not make it and decided he wanted to live. Now he loves us there is no doubt, and he loves life. He is into everything and just seems full of joy. He is a wonder to us and every day of having him is a gift.

India's batting legend Rahul Dravid, popularly known as the 'dependable', on Friday admitted that the greatest fast bowler he had faced was Aussie pacer Glenn McGrath.
"They (Australia) were the best cricket team in my generation. Amongst them all, the greatest bowler that I played against, not only the greatest Australian bowler, but the greatest fast bowler (that) I played against has to be Glean McGrath," said Dravid, who was known for his impeccable defense, at an event in Mumbai.
"He (McGrath) was absolutely (brilliant), no one challenged my knowledge of the off-stump as much as McGrath did. He was relentless and gave you nothing. A lot of times, whether he is bowling in first hour of the morning or late in the afternoon or in the evening, he (McGrath) was going to give you nothing, he was relentless (and the) accuracy," said Dravid, who scored a whopping 13,288 runs in 164 Test matches.
Heaping praise on the legendary Australian fast bowler, Dravid said, "He was not mean as he looked, but he could be very very mean with the cricket ball because he gave you nothing. He was one of those guys you, while batting, think how to score a run and where is the extra-run going to come from. He just had that level of accuracy and control.
"He had good pace, bounce but a good game sense as well. McGrath was probably the greatest fast bowler I played against," said the former India captain, who has scored heavily against the Australians.
Back in 2015, Glenn McGrath picked up the five batsmen he "greatly admired". Apart from Sachin Tendulkar and Brain Lara, McGrath included Rahul Dravid in his list.
"Such a quality batsman, worked hard at his game," McGrath had said of Dravid.
"I really had to work hard to get him out. Once he got in, had the concentration to bat on and on. If there was one person who you wanted to bat for your life, it would be Dravid," McGrath had said.
McGrath, regarded as one of the greatest bowlers in the history of the game, had taken 563 wickets in 124 Tests and 381 wickets in 250 ODIs.

Watching the offseason signings and seeing four Falcons starters released is a sign of the times but there's more to it.
The one that stands out is the signing of Jackson. Then the release of RT Tyson Clabo stands out even more. Clabo is a better pass blocker than run blocking. So the question comes to mind,...are we gonna see a run heavy Falcons offense this season? Or at least a short passing game/run game with an occaisional deep throw? That attack mentality on offense worked with many Super Bowl winning teams, the Aikman Cowboys, the Steelers in the 70's, Redskins.
It makes sense when you understand the plan they have in Atlanta. Put simply, they want to control the football but score TDs. They want to, and this will get me in trouble, HIDE the weaknesses of the defense by dominating time of posession. Just like against the Seahawks going up 20 points and barely scratching out a win, just like going up on the Niners 17-0 and losing the NFCCG at home, when the Falcons go up in score they go vanilla on defense, try to run the clock out mid-way through the 3rd qtr. and hey ya'll unless they get some better play from the D there's no way this franchise wins a Super Bowl.
The talking heads say Jackson will get the Falcons those first downs on 3rd and short. Might be Jackson will be featured early in games, it makes sense to me. Then unleash Ryan/Jones/White/Gonzales.
This is what's great about posting 5 months before the regular season begins. No one will remember it if turns out wrong. Or if it's right.

'Disney Infinity' 'Frozen' Toys, Variants and Additional Characters Leaked by Retailer
As per a thread located on DisneyInfinityFans.com, a French etailer had temporarily listed several 'Disney Infinity' items that had long been suspected, but had not been formally announced.
Among the items listed were toys (figures) featuring the likenesses of Elsa and Anna of Disney's Frozen, Mickey Mouse (which we believe will be a Sorcerer's Apprentice inspired item) and Jack Skellington. Also identified are toy packs branded for Frozen and Wreck-It Ralph (both consisting of perhaps just two characters based on the pricing). Oddly enough, a separate toy listing for Woody existed, casting doubts on the figures expected to be included in the Toy Story Space play set. An oddly named 'girls' pack of figures was also listed.
'Disney Infinity' 'Summer of Endless Fun Tour' from Disneyland to Times Square

CONFIRMED: 'Toy Story Space' Playset for Disney Infinity
Whether it was intentional or not, the release of a new 'Disney Infinity' featurette titled 'Creating Disney Infinity: Play Sets' has officially confirmed our previous reports that 'Toy Story Space' does in fact appear to be an upcoming playset for the 'Disney Infinity' gaming platform.
The video also features minor clips from 'Phineas and Ferb' which we also believed to be an upcoming playset but are unclear if it had ever officially been announced as such (characters such as Phineas and Agent P have often been touted as playable characters in previous promotional videos).
CONFIRMED: 'The Lone Ranger' Playset for Disney Infinity
Just ahead of E3, we have received confirmation of something we have been reporting for quite some time: a previously as-of-yet unannounced playset for 'Disney Infinity,' The Lone Ranger. Although we have been talking about the playset since before the original announcement, we last visited the possibility back in March, when the launch had been delayed until August. While most outlets focused on that its launch no longer coincided with the theatrical release of Monsters University, we also pointed out that it now releases after the theatrical debut of The Lone Ranger, which will now mean Disney Infinity will be relying on the success of the film rather than being a marketing tool for it.

Early Ed, Crucial for Latino Children with Learning Disabilities
In Los Angeles County, Latino children make up the majority of toddlers under the age of five who are ready to benefit from early education. These benefits include success in future school years and a higher chance of graduating from high school and going to college.
But for children with learning disabilities, going to preschool or an early education center could give them another crucial advantage: They are less likely to end up being placed in a special education program.
That's because from an early age, they are surrounded by childcare providers and educators who are trained to identify warning signs in the first few years of their life.
Nancy Zambrano experienced that advantage first hand when her young son Nicolas started going to Dignity Health's early education center Hope Street Margolis Family Center, where the two-year-old was found to have difficulty with speech.
"I didn't realize that he wasn't using that many words. They helped me to realize that here. I was a new mother, so I had no one to compare him with," recalled Zambrano, a native of Ecuador who came to Los Angeles while she was pregnant and didn't know anyone in the city.
"They evaluated him and determined that at two years old, he had the language ability of a 13-month-year-old. That's what he was delayed in," she said.
Fortunately for Zambrano, the Center's staff guided her each step of the way and referred her to a regional center where her child could get the speech therapy he needed. Once there, he was also diagnosed with another condition that he got treatment for.
"It was great because in a month he was already improving, and the best thing was he got speech therapy in both languages, English and Spanish," said Zambrano.
"Parents shouldn't be afraid of what their child might have. They have to deal with it maturely and take action, like Nancy did. They should see it as a challenge, not a problem," said Dr. Lucia Liberman-Bert, social services coordinator and clinical manager of the Hope Street Family Center, who worked directly on Nicolas' case.
Some behavioral, learning and developmental disorders can start at an early age, including attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia and even signs of autism.
The importance of detecting social-emotional abilities is that behavioral and emotional problems at an early age impede learning and pose future risks to the school setting, academic achievement and long-term vocational success in adolescence and adulthood, according to the study "From Neurons to Neighborhoods: the Science of Early Childhood Development."
In his book "Disconnected Kids," Dr. Robert Melillo, founder of the Brain Balance Centers and author of numerous studies on the brain, writes that about 1.5 million school-aged children (one in five 5 to 6 years olds) will be diagnosed with some kind of neurological disorder that will get in the way of learning and social interaction. "In the last decade in the United States, the number of students in special education classes has grown by 49.6 percent," Melillo says in his book.
Samantha Coelho is the assistant director of the Brain Balance Center in Huntington Beach, where she works with children and adolescents who have been diagnosed with these kinds of disorders. The center offers physical therapy and cognitive support under the program created by Dr. Mellilo, which seeks to balance both hemispheres of the brain.
"Parents come to the center because the behavior of their children does not allow them to properly focus on school. These children have negative behavior, not because they are undisciplined, but because they are asking for help because they cannot learn," said Coelho. "In most cases, teachers are the ones that have identified the problems and alerted parents."
Alan Romero, who was diagnosed with ADHD at 8 years old, attended the Brain Balance Center, where he received these therapies with successful results. In most cases, children who complete this program end up performing at their grade level, overcoming a delay of two or more grades, Coelho said.
Unlike Nicolas, in Alan's case it wasn't until he started first grade that his teachers alerted his parents that his learning was delayed.
"As a teacher and as a director, I have seen cases with children who have no control of themselves or have no socialization. Teachers in our schools can identify whether a child may have ADHD. They receive this type of training and know how they can intervene or support them to correct the behavior," said Celia Ayala, director of LAUP (Los Angeles Universal Preschool).
LAUP currently provides financial assistance to 500 schools and homes with early educational programs for 20,000 children across Los Angeles County.
"You may think it's just a little kid or that the teacher isn't patient with him. But when he finishes first grade, goes to second, then third grade, and the problem now is that something is impeding his learning, then you know you have to act and support him as much as you can," recalled Alan's father, Oscar Romero.
"If we wait until the child has failing grades in second or third grade, we are failing them because then they lose confidence in themselves," says Ayala. "It's a difficult conversation because to parents, our children are perfect, but we have to listen to the experts."
Yet some mothers like Julia Mendoza still believe that their children are best raised with their grandparents. "I have no plans to put my child in preschool. I don't think anyone can care for my child better than my mom," said Mendoza, whose son is three years old.
Mendoza's son is typical of many children of immigrants whose parents are hesitant to enroll them in an early education center. According to Barbara DuBransky, director of program development for First 5 LA, nearly half (47 percent) of immigrant children up to five years old are being raised in an "informal" environment.
Ayala believes that grandparents actually contribute a lot to a baby's development, but do not replace the benefits of quality early education.
"We know that grandmothers and aunts can do a lot to provide a loving environment, but not everyone is trained to observe, evaluate and diagnose. Teachers are prepared for this."
Liberman-Bert stressed that one of the major problems within the Latino community is fear and lack of information. "Fear of [not having] legal documents, [not speaking the] language, the fear that the child could be abused. None of that is more important than the wellbeing of the child. The earlier [we intervene], the better," she said.
Early detection of special needs is not only crucial; it's also convenient. Regional centers operated with state funds provide support for children's development for toddlers up to three years old, often at no cost to parents.
Zambrano is a clear example that the support her son received in school was crucial.
"You have to get informed," she said. "Read the flyers they give you from the time your baby is born in the hospital. Put it into practice, observe if babies are doing what they are supposed to be doing and don't be afraid. Take action!"

St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Kyle Turris delivered the deciding goal in the fifth round of the shootout to give the Ottawa Senators a 5-4 come-from- behind win over the St. Louis Blues at Scottrade Center.
The Senators trailed 3-1 after two periods before moving in front on goals by Milan Michalek, Turris and Jason Spezza in succession during the third. Spezza added a pair of assists and Erik Karlsson scored once while assisting on another to help Ottawa salvage the finale of a three-game road trip that began with back-to-back defeats.
Robin Lehner came up with 46 saves to aid the Senators' cause.
T.J. Oshie had a goal and an assist for St. Louis, which also received markers from Brenden Morrow, David Backes and Jordan Leopold. Jaroslav Halak stopped 27 shots in the setback.
"The boys played hard tonight against a hard-working team," Oshie said. "We want the two points but we'll take the one point and focus on Thursday."
Ottawa erased its two-goal deficit by scoring three times within a two-minute, 35-second span in the third period, though its lead was later erased when Lehner couldn't corral a bad-angle shot from Leopold that trickled over the line for a 4-4 tie with 8:52 left.
The Senators were able to force the shootout by killing off a pair of late penalties, however, including a hooking call to Clarke MacArthur with under a minute remaining in overtime.
Stephane Da Costa later extended the game further by sneaking a shot under Halak's right pad in the third round of the deciding phase, with the score evening the shootout at 2-2. Lehner then stoned the next two St. Louis skaters before Turris ended it with a quick wrister that beat Halak to the stick side.
"To have the response we did in the third, to come out and not only tie it up but get the lead and force it to go into overtime, to get the two points like we did in a tough building to play in against a very good team is huge," Turris said.
Spezza led the Senators' rally by having a hand in two of the three third- period goals, first feeding Michalek for a scorching wrister over Halak's glove during a 3-on-2 rush 5:52 into the third and later potting the go-ahead marker at 8:27. After Marc Methot kept the puck into the St. Louis zone, Spezza successfully used a Blues defender as a screen and ripped a blast into the top-right corner of the net for a 4-3 Senators' edge.
In between, Turris' centering attempt from the left corner caromed off the Blues' Jay Bouwmeester's skate and snuck past Halak to tie the score with 12:58 to go.
The Blues carried a 1-0 lead after one period behind 13 saves from Halak and a goal from Morrow, who tapped in a Patrik Berglund feed while crashing the net with 5:52 to play in the frame.
Ottawa drew even on a spectacular connection between Spezza and Karlsson with 5:10 remaining in the second. The Sens' captain spun around and fired a backhand cross-ice give that the star defenseman one-timed home in a single motion.
The stalemate lasted all of 19 seconds, though. St. Louis' Magnus Paajarvi rushed down the left wing shortly after the ensuing faceoff and got off an attempt that Lehner kicked away, but Oshie was all alone to deposit the rebound up high to send the Blues back in front.
St. Louis, which peppered Lehner with 23 shots during the middle session, increased the margin in the waning seconds of the period. A long drive by Barret Jackman was blocked in front of the Ottawa net and went straight to Jaden Schwartz, who threw across a pass that Backes fired into an opening 4.7 seconds prior to the second intermission.
Game Notes
The Blues lost for the first time in 19 home games (18-0-1) this season when scoring three goals or more and fell for only the fourth time in 29 games (25-0-4) when leading after two periods ... Schwartz finished with two assists and Ottawa's Mika Zibanejad registered a pair of helpers as well ... Backes now has a goal in three straight outings, while Morrow has three goals and seven assists over an eight-game point streak against Ottawa ... The Senators swept the season series, having posted a 3-2 overtime decision in Ottawa on Dec. 16, and are 7-2-0 in their last nine meetings with the Blues.

I don't write about Mayor Nutter as often as I should (if only he'd been at Kent State, right?), but when I do, I often make some variation of the same point: That he's been the most honest mayor Philadelphia has seen in a half-century, by far (yes, that includes this guy) -- and yet in spite of fulfilling a dream of many of us who wanted to see good government in Philadelphia, he's been more than vaguely disappointing.
Some of that clearly wasn't his fault -- he didn't cause the long recession that struck not just Philly but the nation and the world, in his very first year in office -- but some of it clearly was indeed his fault, especially a lack of vision.
After years of all of us decrying corruption as the problem, why was Philadelphia's first squeaky-clean mayor since the JFK administration such a let down?
In the last two months, two really smart local journalists -- Patrick Kerkstra, writing in Philadelphia Magazine, and now WHYY's Holly Otterbein, in Politico Magazine (yes, that's a thing) -- tackled this, and honed in on the obvious question: Has the Nutter administration been a failure BECAUSE it was relatively honest (and remarkably so by our own lame standards)? Has the mayor's distaste for cutting deals with City Council and other power brokers been the main source of his woes?
Here's a excerpt from Otterbein's piece published this weekend:
Nutter's critics (and many supporters, for that matter) say he is ineffective because he is a profoundly bad politician. They say he has refused to acknowledge the realities of politics in Philadelphia, where you must dole out favors and occasionally yank them away in order to push through legislation. "I wish it weren't that way," Stalberg says. "It's very primitive, but you have to be willing to use very primitive tools in order to succeed."
Ed Rendell, who has been lauded as one of the most masterful Philadelphia mayors in history, described the crude way things get done here in the book A Prayer for the City: "A good portion of my job is spent on my knees, sucking people off to keep them happy."
Nutter operates quite differently. According to City Hall insiders, he insists that legislators should sign off on his ideas simply because they're "the right thing to do"—a holier-than-thou attitude that doesn't jibe with people who who, above all, want to be re-elected. It also doesn't help that he has resorted to publicly shaming City Council, such as when he called them out in his 2009 budget address about their taxpayer-funded cars.
I think the underlying issue here is a fascinating one -- and it has to be broken down into its component parts. Can a politician succeed by putting himself above the Art of the Political Deal?....absolutely not. Show me a politician who moralizes and browbeats potential allies about doing what's right -- and 99 times out of 100 I'll show you an abject failure. If you're old enough, you may recall the Sunday school teacher approach of Jimmy Carter, which didn't work, not one bit -- even though on key issues like energy he was absolutely right.
On the other extreme, we've all seen far too many politicians whose main goal is to milk the political system for their cronies and quite often for themselves. That results in not just bad behavior but bad policies that hurt the citizens they were elected to serve by essentially stealing from them.
The most intriguing politicians are the ones motivated not so much by the Art of the Steal but powered by their own massive ego. This personality variant -- I think of New York's late mayor Ed Koch as an archetype, although Ed Rendell and perhaps Bill Clinton belong in this group -- is willing to make a deal and sometimes skates on the edge ethically, not in order to pocket envelopes stuffed with cash but a) to stay in power and b) get things done -- things that sometimes actually benefit the public but definitely will get people talking about how great they are, which is their real goal. These egomeisters of politics can be as annoying as hell, but they do rack up accomplishments, and at the end of the day that's better than a Sunday school teacher with an empty collection plate.
Making political deals can be criminal, but it doesn't have to be. Think of LBJ as the embodiment of both. He arguably used politics to enrich himself when his family bought a TV station -- which can't easily be defended. He also told members of Congress that they could get a dam or a new federal highway in their district if they supported things like the Voting Rights Act or Medicare. Is that so terrible? Compared to the gridlock we now see not just in City Hall but in Washington and in Harrisburg, I don't think so.
So that's it, then? Brass-knuckle deal-making, as long as it's not criminal? Yes and no. In Philadelphia today, a politician like Mayor Nutter needs to be holding his nose to get things done -- because the broader atmosphere of City Council members, state lawmakers, etc., is still so toxic, raised up on the waste heap of machine politics.
Look back to the last clean era of Philadelphia politics -- the reform administrations of Joe Clark and Richardson Dilworth. These two got things done -- even in the teeth of what was not yet recognized as crippling de-industrialization of Philadelphia -- without getting dirty. That's because they were part of a fairly clean sweep that threw out a corrupt entrenched party -- the Republicans of then-boss Sheriff Austin Meehan -- and replaced them with a whole slate of reformers that held its ground for about as long as urban reformers ever do, about a decade or so.
If you really want Sunday school politics, get rid of all of them, the "Happy birthday to me" House members and the "I'm the F'ing senator" senators and the slimeball judges and ward leaders. It wasn't easy in 1951, when voters were pretty engaged. Could it happen in the 21st Century? Do you believe in miracles?

HERALD Opinion (June 29) expresses enthusiastic support for the placing of the memorial stone to Bomber Command alongside the Peace Path at Beachy Head but I hope readers will forgive me if I do not share this enthusiasm.
While I do not dispute there should be a memorial to the airmen of Bomber Command, especially those who lost their lives on operational duty, I believe the positioning of the monument alongside the Peace Path is inappropriate.
On approaching the Peace Path if one looks carefully one might observe a much smaller memorial placed there in 2008 on behalf of Eastbourne branch of The United Nations Association and Eastbourne for Peace And Liberty.
This commemorates all those who lost their lives in wars during the previous hundred years 'whatever their gender, age or nationality, military or civilian'.
The importance of this memorial is it draws attention to the obscenity of modern warfare in that it is so often innocent non-combatants who pay the price.
Among these non-combatants estimates suggest up to 600,000 may have died as a result of bombing raids over Germany. It is worthy of note the memorial to Bomber Command that The Queen unveiled in Green Park acknowledges the suffering of the civilian victims of the bombing raids whereas the Beachy Head Memorial fails to do so.
Many, including the then Bishop of Chichester, George Bell, expressed unease at the way that Bomber Command was being used to target non-combatants by the saturation bombing of cities such as Dresden that were not military targets. This saturation bombing, together with the bombing of our towns and cities by The Luftwaffe, went far beyond legitimate military objectives and is extremely difficult to justify on moral grounds,
By all means let us honour the memory of those who sacrificed their lives but a memorial of this kind alongside a path dedicated to international peace and reconciliation could hardly be in a less appropriate place.

WASILLA -- During the days leading up to the conference tournament, Wasilla head coach Amber Craig's message to her players was simple -- finish.
Finish shots. Finish opportunities. Finish matches.
It may have taken the Warriors awhile Thursday, but after playing through a long stalemate with Nikiski, Wasilla scored three goals during extra time to grab a 4-1 overtime win over the Bulldogs in the quarterfinal round of the Northern Lights Conference tournament at Colony High School.
After the conference rivals played through 80 minutes of regulation tied at 1, senior Amy Jo Coonrod scored the go-ahead goal during the ninth minute of the first overtime period and senior Kendra Miner added a pair of goals during the second overtime frame to ice the win over the Bulldogs and help the Warriors move into NLC semifinal match with Soldotna today at 11 a.m. at CHS. The Stars defeated Grace Christian 1-0 on Thursday.
"It's a one-loss elimination (tournament). We didn't want our season to end this early," Miner said after the victory. "We knew we had to keep pushing, otherwise we'd be out of the tournament, out of regions and out of state. (The) seniors especially do not want that."
The score was knotted at 1 at the end of regulation, despite Wasilla's constant pressure on the Nikiski net that lasted through much of the final 60 minutes of regulation. The Warriors had a number of tremendous scoring opportunities during regulation, but were held to a single goal thanks to the stellar play of Nikiski senior goalkeeper Angie Parrish.
Parrish made diving stops.
The senior left her feet to make a sprawling save of an Ashlynn Frizzelle shot during the 39th minute. She took away
attempts off corner kicks, and went to the ground a number of times to take away opportunities of the persistent Wasilla forwards.
"That's exactly what she's done all year," Nikiski head coach Mandy Adair said. "She did that all last year for us. She's solid back there."
Nikiski took the early lead in the match when senior Britany Tuttle placed a shot over the head of Wasilla senior goalkeeper Kamarae Kaina during the 10th minute. Miner, who netted the hat trick in the win, tied the score in the 16th minute.
After junior Nikki Vanni fed a long through ball from the midfield, Miner retrieved possession, drove into the box and tapped a soft shot to the right of Parrish. It was one of two Miner goals set up by a long Vanni pass.
"Nikki had some great feeds up to her," Craig said.
The Warriors would play the final 64 minutes of regulation without another score. Miner said the Warriors had to play through the frustration of having such offensive success without many goals to show for it.
"It's frustrating for me and the whole team to know we can shoot and score. It just comes down to getting the shots and placing them," Miner said.
The Warriors were able to strike late during the first overtime. Junior Mikaela Hull put a hard shot on goal from the right side of the field beyond the penalty box during the ninth minute of the first overtime. The attempt drifted toward the far side of the net, and senior Amy Jo Coonrod crashed the net to score the go-ahead tally.
"Amy always does a good job of finishing," Craig said. "Our forwards, Amy, Reace (Morrison), Kendra, they do a great job of always being there."
Miner added insurance midway through the second overtime, taking another long Vanni feed to set up a breakaway opportunity and score.
"Kendra, I was talking about her during the coaches meeting. You put her in a breakaway situation, and she's gonna finish," Craig said.
Later in the second overtime, Morrison put a rocket on net from the right side. Parrish put both her hands up to make the save, but Miner was there to pick up the loose ball and score.
"Reace put one right on the goalie and I just crashed," Miner said. "Coach has been emphasizing that in practice -- finish, finish, finish."
Craig said she was not surprised to see an improved Nikiski side.
"One thing I told the girls at the beginning of the game, you can't expect them to be the same as they were when we played them the last time," Craig said.
Adair said, despite the loss, she was pleased with how her team battled in looking for its first NLC tourney win.
"The girls came out and fought hard. They really wanted to make a statement up here. We almost got one, we almost got it," Adair said. "Nobody expected us to even be in this game at all. But to take Wasilla to overtime is a huge statement for us as a program."
Kenai girls 3, Palmer 0
Kenai Central goals have been hard to come by lately. But on Thursday, the Kards finally found the back of the net.
Shelby Toombs converted an early penalty kick to help spark the Kardinals into the semifinals.
After playing to a scoreless tie with Palmer less than a week ago, Kenai head coach Dan Verkuilen said it was certainly key for Toombs to convert that penalty kick and take the 1-0 lead during the 16th minute.
"It was good to get that monkey off our back," Verkuilen said after the win, which moves Kenai into a semifinal match with top-seeded Colony today at 3 p.m. at Colony High School. "It gives you that little spark, and you're like, the net doesn't have a glass wall in front of it."
Annie Azzara and Raquel Reynolds also found the back of the net for the Kardinals.
"We knew we've been kind of frustrated by the lack of scoring. We had a lot of opportunities. We had quite a few opportunities the last time we played (Palmer)," Verkuilen said. "We just could not find the back of the net."
Verkuilen said Kenai expected a similar game to the scoreless tie, but the Kards know anything can happen in the tournament.
"Regional games are funny. You see them a week ago and you come to regions and it's a whole different deal," Verkuilen said.
After taking the 1-0 lead in the 16th minute, Kenai needed only six more minutes to push the advantage to a pair of goals. The Kenai midfielders fed a ball forward to Azzara, who used her left foot to put a shot past Palmer goalkeeper Morgan Morfe.
Late in the game, Reynolds capped the scoring thanks to a play set up by a Caitlin Wooley cross.
Coming up the right side of the field, Wooley crossed the ball. Jenna Calhoun deflected the ball to the far post, where Reynolds was able to crash and score.
Verkuilen said teamwork was key in the win.
"It was a lot of individual effort the first time we played them, but today it was much more of a team effort," Verkuilen said.
Sidney Taylor earned the shutout in the Kenai goal.
"The defense was real solid," said Verkuilen, who also credited the work of Taylor Ostrander and Allie McGahan in the midfield.
While Kenai moves on, Palmer, the third seed in the North Division, was forced to see its season come to an end on the first day of the three-day NLC Championships. Palmer head coach Harmony Chadwick said seeing her two seniors, Kendal Venzke and Megan Stark, play their last game is the hardest part of the loss.
"The thought of them not making through is what I'm most bummed about," Chadwick said. "They don't have another game. They deserve another game."
Soldotna girls 1, Grace Christian 0
Kaili Sholin scored in the 50th minute to get the Stars through into today's semifinal with Wasilla.
No team in the NLC came within a goal of the Stars in the regular season, but that quickly changed in the tournament.
"We did not play championship soccer today," Soldotna coach Mike Tovoli said. "We played lackluster soccer. We showed up and assumed this team would lie down for us."
The Stars collected their fifth straight shutout as they search for their third NLC title in four years.
"After today, I'm worried about even making the state tournament," Tovoli said. "If we play like this tomorrow, we'll be playing in the third-place game just trying to get a trip to state."
Colony girls 5, Skyview 0
The Panthers kept it close for more than 60 minutes, but the Knights pulled away after a Skyview own goal to advance to the semifinals.
"We're eating away our sorrows," Skyview coach David Carpenter said by phone from Red Robin on Thursday.
With the score 1-0 in the 65th minute, the ball bounced off the head of a Skyview player and into the Panthers' goal past keeper Amanda McDowell. Carpenter said the exchange triggered a chain of negative events for Skyview.
"You could see their posture change, their attitude change," Carpenter said.
The coach credited Nicole Tromblee for creating scoring chances by pushing the ball deep into Colony territory and sending accurate crosses into the box. Carpenter also said Megan Janorschke played a tough game, drawing the defensive assignment on Colony's top scorer.
And although the score didn't show it, the coach added that it was a competitive game.
"It's a terrible score for the game it actually was," Carpenter said. "It was such a better game than the score."

TOP LOCAL government specialist Anna Forge is understood to be leaving Berwin Leighton for Rowe & Maw.
The move will bring two of the best-known local government lawyers, Forge and Tony Child, together.
Rowe & Maw's six-lawyer department has a strong reputation in local government law and Child's name is synonymous with local government auditors. Local government insiders say Rowe & Maw needs Forge to attract PFI work in an expanding market.
Forge, who joins in April, acts mainly for local authorities. She is best known work in infrastructure and planning.
Malcolm Iley, a partner at rival firm Nabarro Nath-anson, says: "Anna is technically very sound and I have always enjoyed working with her." Leonie Cowen, ranked alongside Forge and Child as a leading local government lawyer, comments: "It's a pretty good move for Rowe & Maw."

I agree with all this and you've explained this to me live already so you're preaching to the choir. But it would be a lot faster/easier if users can select, let's call'em "profiles" which are not mutually exclusive and can speed up the configuration process. They can either be distro-specific or generic, selecting certain features you need. So configuring your kernel would be like shopping without paying too much attention to details. Let's look into the head of a person doing a config like that and read some of her thoughts :): "Hm, ok, this new configurator is cool, a lot faster I gotta say... So, what do I need, ah, yes, it is an AMD laptop so from vendors I select AMD, then I probably need ext4, then I'd like to do packet filtering so I should enable iptables.. Oh, I'd like to do tracing too so let's enable tracing and trust Steven with the options he's added by default, then I need ahci, I'd also like to do encrypted partitions so I'll enable device mapper with crypto... " So all those things could be selectable from that profiles menu without having to go through the gazillion of little suboptions and having to read help (which is sometimes completely helpless) and figure out do I need it or not. And this would simplify configuration a lot. IMHO, anyway. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.

USA Hockey Sues Old Navy
Published 7:00 pm, Monday, January 21, 2002
USA Hockey filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the clothing store Old Navy is illegally selling merchandise with a "USA HOCKEY" label.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, claims USA Hockey owns the trademark for the label, issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Selling merchandise bearing the label at Old Navy stores is prohibited, according to the lawsuit.
USA Hockey officials bought T-shirts with the label at Old Navy retail stores in Lakewood and Colorado Springs in January, according to the suit.
Old Navy is owned by San Francisco-based Gap, Inc. which operates more than 3,800 Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic stores worldwide. Company revenues topped $11.6 billion, according to its corporate Web site.
USA Hockey claims it asked the company to stop selling the shirts, but Gap Inc. refused. Gap officials did not return a phone call Tuesday night.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and asks that the merchandise be removed from the stores and destroyed.
USA Hockey is the national governing body for ice hockey in the United States and is based in Colorado Springs.

Planning a family vacation is difficult enough. Planning a vacation as a single mom with kids is even harder. Most vacation packages are priced based on double adult occupancy, and balancing kid-friendly activities while allowing for adult fun is a real challenge. Below are some ideas and tips for the best vacation for a single mom with kids to help you get the most out of your time off.
Cruises offer exciting opportunities for moms and kids alike. On-board activities vary from cruise to cruise, but all offer babysitting services or activity clubs to keep kids busy while parents take a break. Disney Cruise Line has long been a popular choice among families. Kid-friendly from the start, Disney cruises are also designed with grown-ups in mind. Adults-only dining, pools and lounging areas provide a mature experience sans children. The Disney Fantasy, the line's newest ship, has arcades, youth clubs, lounges and activity centers on-board for the kids. There is also plenty to do as a family on the Fantasy's seven-day journey through either the Eastern or Western Caribbean.
Single Parent Tours
Do you think of yourself as the adventurous type? Then a single parent tour may be the ticket for you. Eco-tourism and adventure tours gain momentum as travelers seek off the beaten path destinations and embrace tourist responsibility. One such company offering single family adventure tours is Explore. For over 30 years, Explore has led small adventure groups and currently has more than 500 adventures in over 120 countries. Started by single mom, avid traveler and industry insider, Brenda Elwell, Single Parent Travel works to solve problems associated with single traveling. Single Parent Travel arranges deals with resorts and other vacation outfits to avoid double occupancy hassles and costs. Cruises, treks to Machu Picchu, white-water rafting and a host of other adventures await. If a laid-back resort vacation is more your speed, Single Parent Travel also arranges all-inclusive resort vacations.
Sometimes grand vacations just aren't in the budget, but this doesn't mean you have to forgo a vacation all together. Stay-cations are an option for those unable to travel great distances. Select a destination near you that's only a few hours away. Take a road trip or short flight and you can have your getaway without the hassle of intensive travel. This option is particularly good for single moms with very young children who may not be ready for long trips. Large amusement parks, quaint beach towns, national parks and mountain cabins make for fantastic stay-cations that won't drain the wallet.
Plan and book your trip in advance. Not only will you guarantee a better price on travel arrangements and lodging, you'll also have ample time to gather important documents like passports or vaccination records. Consider pairing up and traveling with a friend in your same situation. With another parent there to shoulder responsibilities and provide adult company, you have more time to relax and enjoy a stress-free time with the kids.

Chelsea boss Hiddink heaps praise on 'courageous' Ivanovic after dramatic Southampton win
BRANISLAV IVANOVIC'S season has mirrored Chelsea's.
Branislav Ivanovic celebrates scoring Chelsea's winning goal against Southampton against St Mary's
He started wretchedly, his usual strength and solidity absent, as wingers zipped past him at will. Fans questioned why previous manager Jose Mourinho kept him in the team. There was uncertainty over a new deal, then he sustained an injury, and there was talk that time might be running out for him.
But Ivanovic, now in his eighth year at Stamford Bridge and with two Premier League titles under his belt as well as a host of other honours, kept battling.
He regained his place, got a new contract - and now, in John Terry's absence, has stepped into the breach as deputy skipper and centre back. And his late goal here kept Chelsea's revival alive.
Mind you, Guus Hiddink's side needed a huge slice of luck to win this one. But the sheer refusal by players like Ivanovic to be beaten is an echo of better times.
Hiddink said: "Ivanovic is not a big shouter but the short commands he does, that's what I like as a manager because I want what we do in training executed by my key players.
"I'm happy that players like Cesc Fabregas and Oscar players also step up, not just in their personal performance but also organising.
"It is part of Ivanovic's job to score goals and he does it very well. He has done it already many times and he is courageous. You have to be well equipped in the timing and execution which he is perfect at doing.
"The fans were disappointed earlier in the season. They were right to react as they reacted in the first two games or three games I was here - but that's why the team has to react. They have to try to get the support of the crowd again. You cannot ask the crowd to forget what happened and the bad results.
"The team has to show their desire to play again and then the crowd, as they have shown, start supporting again. On Saturday it was tremendous support."
Southampton were left scratching their heads at how they lost this match. Ronald Koeman's side had much the better of a quiet first half and led through Shane Long. Fabregas equalised when his cross meant for Eden Hazard was missed by his teammates and Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster too - as the ball crept into the far corner.
Not much of a way to celebrate a club record he had set in the 34th minute which meant 667 minutes without conceding.
Then Ivanovic's thumping header won it.
Saints had previously been unbeaten in six and not let in a goal in the time - but their top four hopes were dented by this result.
Koeman was steaming: "It isn't about today," he said.
"There are still 11 games to play. We are difficult to beat and we will finish in the position we deserve. If we had won this game we would have made a big step but instead Chelsea have. We had a good run but we lost and we have to recover. It is all about the spirit of the team."
Southampton (3-5-2): Forster 5; Fonte 6, Van Dyke 6, Bertrand 6; Cedric 6, Davis 7, Romeu 6, Clasie 6, Targett 6 (Ward-Prowse 88 6); Long 7 (Pelle 69 6), Austin 7 (Mane 78 6). Booked: Davis, Bertrand, Clasie. Goal: Long 42. Next up: Bournemouth (a), Tom PL.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Courtois 7; Azpilicueta 7, Cahill 6, Ivanovic 7, Rahman 5 (Kenedy 46 7); Fabregas 7, Mikel 7; Hazard 7 (Matic 90 6), Willian 8, Pedro 6 (Oscar 6 7); Costa 7. Booked: Costa. Goals: Fabregas 74, Ivanovic 88. Next Up: Norwich (a), Tom PL.
Referee: M Atkinson (West Riding).
Stat of the Day: Chelsea recorded back to back league wins for the first time this season

Thread: Heat Rash
10/14/2010 2:23pm, #1
Heat Rash
Somewhat embarrassing topic, being the overweight, active person living in a warm humid climate that includes swimming in the ocean, I often develop heat rash at the top of my inner thigh and groin due to the fat rubbing. It sucks, makes simple walking painful and has in the past developed into a fungal infection that had me literally spread eagled in front of a fan directed at my crotch for a week, unable to move (laugh it up, fellas, laugh it up). This has not happened in a long time due to meticulous hygiene practises such as changing underwear twice a day on particularly humid days and applying the appropriate topical cream when needed. I have also taken salt water baths, even though I can develop the rash while swimming in the ocean, it is the friction which causes it.
I have used unperfumed baby powder in an attempt to thwart the development of the heat rash, however this method seems hit and miss. I am also thinking of buying some of those rash vest style shorts that double as muscle vibration reducers, along the lines of the tops I wear during no gi, but, ****, they are expensive.
Does anyone have any experience with this, the bane of my existence? What remedies do you use? Any comment on the efficacy of those shorts?

I'm just coming out of a week of the same thing. I feel your Pain.
Can you get hold of sudocream? its for mild burns, nappy rash that sort of thing.
You put it on a few times a day and it really cools things down, it stays on and it can get messy but it is really good stuff. Highly Recomended.
I know its marketed at babies, but like you said when things get err fungal thats what the doc said to use when its still at the early stages, and keep washing and keep area dry.

I had this over my entire body and I shoved almost every pill product and powder into me that I could find by the end of it. FNQ can suck sometimes.
Compression clothing helped. Cheap at big W
3 b cream
Is possibly the best product I have used for that chafing sweat rash that you are talking about.(so comon here you can walk funny into a chemist and they just point you to a jar of the stuff laughing)
otherwise fan on. aircon on . cold showers.
Give me a day or so and I could find all the stuff that dosent do anything.

Engineering technicians work in a variety of roles. Common jobs include helping engineers resolve problems or complete projects or working in quality control for production companies. Pay for engineering techs varies greatly by industry and occupation. Electrical, civil, mechanical, chemical, space and industrial engineering fields are all common job arenas for technicians. Despite their varied career options, techs face several career disadvantages.
Limited Job Growth
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects limited job growth for most engineering technician careers through 2020. It predicts that industrial engineering jobs will grow at a 4-percent clip and civil engineering jobs at 12 percent, for instance. Both of these growth projections are below average compared to all occupations during the same period. Limited job demand makes it more difficult to find quality work.
Technology Evolution
One of the greatest ongoing challenges faced by engineering technicians is the evolution in technology. Computers and equipment evolve over time, and employer and client demands evolve with them. Techs are often responsible for taking designs and instructions from engineers and creating or analyzing the quality of products. Broadcasting, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering are all common fields with fast-evolving technology. Techs must constantly learn and keep up to remain viable.
Much of the success of an engineering technician depends on his ability to complete projects on time and under budget or to provide quality control support that helps manufacturers in achieving those goals. These goals place significant pressure on engineering techs. The stress becomes even greater because technicians often don't design or construct their own products or equipment. Instead, they act on designs created by engineers and clients.
Working Conditions
The working conditions for engineers are sometimes hazardous, though that depends somewhat on the type of engineering and employment setting. Civil and construction engineers often work outdoors at job sites, which may include extreme hot and cold temperatures. Additionally, construction or development projects may expose techs to chemicals, dust and debris. Mechanical and electrical engineers often work inside manufacturing plants, which are often dark and loud.
