SEE AT BOTTOM: GEORGE NEIKRUG'S EXTENSIVE COMMENTS ON PLAYING THE BACH SIX SUITES - WRITTEN IN 1980. The Boston Globe's 1979 review of George Neikrug's live performance of the Bach Six Suites - 'You hear the severe beauty of much of the music... It was anything but just-playing-the-notes... a sense of histrionic values is essential, and in this instance, with the Bach Cello Suites, they worked to impressive effect. They convinced.' Richard Buell, The Boston Globe 'George Neikrug has been, for many years, a respected colleague and musician, as well as a good friend. I regard him as a great artist -- a term not lightly used by a fellow professional. His superb, absolute command of the instrument, the probing depth of his musical perception, his contagious joy in communicating his affection for music; all combine in bringing to life whatever music he plays.' -- Isaac Stern George Neikrug's recordings of the Bach Suites are live and unedited performances demonstrating great playing of unusual clarity, facility and tonal grandeur. They are different and more intense than any other recording of the Bach Suites available. Every professional or amateur cellist will benefit form listening closely to Neikrug's mastery. And the general public will experience a new emotional depth not heard before. Neikrug's performance of the 5th Suite and 6th Suite are simply the best ever recorded! Mr. Neikrug, a consummate cello virtuoso, is considered by many of his colleagues to be the greatest living string pedagogue. Born in New York, George Neikrug was a pupil of the legendary Emanuel Feuermann and is probably the only remaining student who is still concertizing. In 1943, he met the well-known pedagogue D.C. Dounis, whose revolutionary approach to the problems of string playing and teaching influenced him to completely revamp his playing and create the unique style he has retained to this day. This association lasted for a period of fifteen years, and Neikrug felt such a debt to Dounis for all the knowledge and skills he had learned that he resolved to devote his life to teaching at schools, such as Boston University, and giving master classes all over the world. Since Neikrug's New York debut in 1947, he has held principal positions with the Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestras. He was also principal cellist of the Paramount Pictures Recording Orchestra and the Columbia Recording Orchestra, which recorded the historic series of performances by Igor Stravinsky and Bruno Walter, who called Neikrug a 'genuine musician and a real virtuoso of the cello.' In 1960, Leopold Stokowski asked Neikrug to perform Bloch's Schelomo with him and the NBC Symphony at Carnegie Hall, with a recording for United Artists to follow. After this performance, Stokowski sent him an autographed photo with the inscription 'for George Neikrug's Schelomo -- unforgettable.' In 1979, Neikrug performed all six Bach solo suites in one concert at Lincoln Center. In an enthusiastic review of this concert, John Rockwell of The New York Times concluded, 'there was a beauty that was almost painful. We wish Mr. Neikrug would play all the violin suites for us.' Mr. Neikrug has appeared as a soloist with such conductors as Leonard Bernstein, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Bruno Walter, Leopold Stokowski and Yehudi Menuhin, who stated, 'I was most impressed with his profound and accurate understanding of his instrument, as well as string playing in general. He is a first-rate musician, and I cannot recommend him too highly.' His recording of Bloch's 'Schelomo' with Leopold Stokowski and the Symphony of the Air was recently re-released on the EMI label. In addition, Sony has recently released his recording of a duet by Mozart for cello, baritone and orchestra with George London, baritone, and the Columbia Symphony, conducted by Bruno Walter. In 1962, Mr. Neikrug accepted a teaching position at the Hochschüle in Frankfurt, Germany, as a Fulbright Professor sponsored by Ernst Toch and Bruno Walter. He has held teaching positions at the Detmold Hochschule in Germany, Oberlin College, and the University of Texas at Austin before joining the faculty at Boston University School for the Arts in 1971. He was selected to receive the 1995 'Artist Teacher Award' from the American String Teachers Association. In 1996, he was invited by Janos Starker and the University of Indiana to receive the 'Chevalier du Violoncelle' award for outstanding lifetime achievement on the cello. Many of his students are in major symphony orchestras all over the world, including some in principal positions and teaching at major universities. GEORGE NEIKRUG'S COMMENTS ON PLAYING THE BACH SIX SUITES: When one performs all six Bach Cello Suites in sequence, there is a feeling of taking part in a logical development from the simple to the complex, similar to that of a human being from birth to maturity. The variety of musical ideas is enormous, and the emotions and aesthetic concepts expressed in the music span the gamut of human creativity. To the player, a successful performance of the Suites can be exhilarating and draining in a way that cannot be compared to any other musical experience. The problems involved in the preparation for such a performance are huge and touch on many areas: The technical, historical, aesthetic and emotional. What makes this task particularly awesome is the fact that one has to face it entirely alone, with no other colleagues or friends on the stage and the full responsibility for the performance rests on one's own resources. The worries first begin to surface when one announces to family and friends that the cellist intends to perform the six Bach Cello Suites in a single concert. Immediately the advice will range from taking of a few aspirin and "maybe it will go away" to a consultation with the family doctor or psychiatrist or perhaps even a short sabbatical. The music of the Suites has an economy of expression that is unique. The linear writing is entirely different from those of his contemporaries. It suggests many different voices and harmonies. One can hear an independent bass line plus several other contrapuntal lines moving independently and then at times coming together in unison. There are moments when a single melody appears with a purely harmonic background and then there are other moments of gigantic chordal power, reminiscent of the composer's grandiose organ works. Certainly the modern player is far better equipped to perform this music - what with all the numerous advances that have been made in the technique of playing the cello tonally, mechanically and expressively in over two hundred years - than a seventeenth or eighteenth century performer, no matter how talented he may have been. How then do we establish a balance between the historically appropriate stylistic aspects of performance and the demands of an emotional and intellectual expression that makes the music come alive to a contemporary audience? This is the important point I am trying to make about the playing of the Bach Suites. To accomplish this believability presents many problems of interpretation. The musician must have the wide spectrum of dynamics, color and phrasing that is suitable for our contemporary concert halls and public, and yet he must be able to additionally convey the impression of stylistic truth. I believe very much that the following represents a few of the specific problems the performer must solve. First, there is a rhythmic dilemma. The performer must have rhythmic freedom and still give the impression of rhythmic discipline. The Bach Suites encompasses music that seems to be boiled down to the basic elements. The very notes suggest so much more than we see actually written. In order to give the impression of different voices plus an independent bass line one has to lean on certain notes so as to give them a feeling of continuing sustained sound while the new voice appears - the dangers of rhythmic distortion being always present. The success of this kind of contrapuntal linear playing depends on the technical skills of the player which brings us to the question of how manually difficult the Bach Suites are. Yes, they are very difficult but not in a way that is obvious to the non-professional, listening audience. The music is written in the first four positions of the cello - with the exception of the Sixth Suite, which was written in a wider range for the viola pomposa, an instrument with five stings (with the added E string), so that the player did not have to use the higher positions of the instrument. Thus the player has no great feats of shifting or manual dexterity of a virtuoso nature to contend with, and despite this, the music is difficult, as is obvious from some of the performances we hear from otherwise competent instrumentalists whose skills seem to deteriorate somewhat when they present a Bach solo work in the course of a recital program. The reasons for this are the following: Because the music is constantly changing from one string to another, tone production will suffer unless one is a master of the special technique of string changing and can create the illusion that one is always playing on one string. If this special skill has not been fully mastered the player will become more uncomfortable with each bar, feeling that his instrument is not responding properly, and proceed to tighten his muscles and begin to force his tone. In the left hand a similar situation exists. Due to the confining feeling of not being able to dwell on one string and shift up and down, which can serve to relax the hand, the player will tend to "freeze up" and consequently stiffen his hand. Such feelings can distract the performer from the all-important aspects of the interpretive task at hand and the music is bound to suffer accordingly. Audiences quickly pick up such signs of physical discomfort in a performer and their concentration will be interrupted. These are not the sort of dazzling skills that are apt to delight the public; but when absent, the performer will be seen as being in a losing struggle with his instrument. The actual musical problems involved with the linear writing of the Bach Suites come from the way the notes of the music look in the printed text. This can be compared to the experience one has when looking at some impressionist paintings. At first one sees only a huge blur; however, on closer examination one begins to see previously hidden shapes that come into proper focus with increasing clarity. To compare this with similar musical examples, if one looks at some of the Preludes such as those of the first, third, fourth, and sixth Suites, there appears to be a blur of repetitive eighth or sixteenth notes in apparent perpetual motion. But, on further, deeper study, similar to the paintings, a myriad of little shapes begin to take form, like the pieces of a gigantic three dimension jig-saw puzzle. After realizing the existence of all these pieces of various shapes and duration, the performer must solve their relationships to each other. The most difficult task is that of musical punctuation, to objectively see the divisions in the music itself, similar to the punctuation, commas, periods, etc., that are essential to language if it is to become comprehensible. One is so influenced by what one has frequently heard or played that it is difficult to perceive the tiniest and most logical phrasing. We know how the original meaning of a spoken sentence can be altered or distorted by a single false inflection. Consider the effect of the question mark of the speaker in this example..."President Carter announced today that the economic situation looks considerably brighter?" When one thinks back on the conflicting advice he has received on the "proper" interpretation of the Bach Suites he must conclude that each point of view contains some valid points to be considered. It is really a question of achieving a series of balances between opposing elements - freedom versus discipline, emotion versus intellect and the historical versus the contemporary. Finally, one has to make all these compromises and in the end still convey conviction. In conclusion, perhaps a few words should be said about how it actually feels like when one performs all the Suites in a single concert. I have tried to play the first three Suites followed by a dinner break of ninety minutes, and then continuing with the last three. This experience feels more like two consecutive concerts, while both the performer and the audience have difficulty in resuming the momentum and concentration that is necessary. The performer undergoes the usual let-down following a complete recital and it is a great strain to muster all of one's powers for the even more demanding second part. This is difficult enough even after the customary fifteen-minute interval taken in our concert. Then one is suddenly faced with the massive fourth and fifth Suites, with the Prelude to the fifth being so powerful that the player has to restrain himself from almost sawing the cello in half! If that were not enough, what comes as the final dessert to this gargantuan meal but the over-treacherous Sixth Suite, where one is suddenly all over the high thumb positions of the cello in an effort to compensate for the missing E string (of the original instrument intended by the composer) - an area of the cello that has been virtually forgotten during the past ninety minutes of playing. It is as if the player's supreme powers were waiting to be tested at the very end - comparable only to the awesome final ascent to the summit of Mount Everest. Just like many other aspects in life, the greatest rewards may carry the most risks. If one relishes a challenge, there is nothing that can really compare with a performance of the complete Bach Suites to test a cellist's powers.

Mother's Day on a Budget
Provided By:
(NC)-Everyone is feeling the financial pinch this year and keeping a close eye on spending, but that doesn't mean your mom should not feel appreciated and loved. So what's on your agenda for Mom this May 10th?
This year more than ever, ensure the money you spend is on gifts of value, items that will last and keep on giving. Below are some creative tips to help you make your Mom feel loved, appreciated and pampered - without breaking the bank:
1. Gifts from your heart will warm hers. Come up with a gift that is personal and one you know she will love and enjoy. For example, if your Mom loves to go for walks, why not get her an MP3 player and load it up with her favourite songs to keep the bounce in her step? MP3 players have dropped dramatically in price, while increasing in quality. Try a Philips Go Gear audio/video player for as little as $49.95.
2. A mouth-watering menu for Mom. If you live close to your mom, pop by with some of her favourite foods. Why not also write out a personal menu and decorate it so your Mom feels like she is at her own personal restaurant. Make sure to prepare some nice appetizers for your Mom to enjoy while you are cooking.
3. Bring the spa to your Ma. Your Mom can enjoy the relaxing benefits of a spa in the comfort of her own home. Some aesthetician services make house-calls, so you can arrange for a day of professional pampering. Another idea would be to create a personal spa basket filled with some of the amazing products available, like the Philips Ladyshave & Bikini Trimmer. These products offer spa like quality but without the huge price tag. Plus, they can be used over and over for years to come.
Your Mom is worth a day of indulgence so make sure you plan to wow her and show her how much she means to you.

Sir Alex Ferguson yesterday poured scorn on Rafael Benítez's insistence that Liverpool are a poor relation to Manchester United, portraying the Spaniard as a chequebook manager who has failed to develop his own players.
Ferguson was outraged by the Liverpool manager's comments, made in the wake of their 4–1 victory at Old Trafford, that Manchester United still commanded a huge financial advantage. And in a new twist to their ongoing feud, the United manager accused his rival of not doing things "correctly".
Benítez had said: "The difference between us is maybe £100m spent on players and a big stadium." Ferguson responded: "The amazing fact about them is that they have used 60 players in the reserves this season. We have signed 18 players in the last five years but eight of them are young and there is a balance about us. We do things correctly.
"We like to develop our young players but other clubs are maybe different. Rafa has a different philosophy from me about producing players but that is the great thing about football: everyone has a different way of doing things.
"You will see Rafa produce an incredible spending spree – that is an absolute certainty now he has signed his new contract. They talk of a recession but there will not be one at Liverpool. There will be a spending splurge at Liverpool, that is his [Benítez's] way."
Indicative of the deepening rift between the two managers, Benítez used last week's victory at Old Trafford to take another shot at United, who are four points clear with a game in hand, saying: "There is a massive difference in terms of the two clubs and their squads, players, transfer records and wages." Ferguson was so angered by these comments that he asked for a survey on the two clubs' spending patterns since Benítez took over at Anfield in the summer of 2004.
"I was amazed when I saw his claims," Ferguson said. "I talked to some people in the sports technology department and said: 'check that out'. I am sure I had not spent that much money. I worked out that in the last five years Liverpool had spent £24m more than Manchester United."
In this, Ferguson is right up to a point. Under Benítez, Liverpool have spent £191.9m, while Manchester United have spent £172.25m in the same period. However, these are gross figures and, when sales are taken into account, Ferguson and Benítez have net spends around the mid-£80m mark. Exact figures are problematic because some transfer fees are undisclosed.
Benítez curtly told reporters to "check the figures" when informed of Ferguson's comments, adding: "It doesn't matter what Ferguson says, they still have more money than us."
In terms of revenue, United's lead is marked. Last season the champions turned over £257m – not including their shirt deal with Nike – a lead over Liverpool of £90m. However, the spending patterns are very different. Benítez has spent his money on 34 players, while in that time Ferguson has paid for half that number, at generally higher fees. Benítez has broken the £15m barrier three times – for Fernando Torres, Javier Mascherano and Robbie Keane. Manchester United have had six deals of £15m or more in that time.
Ferguson, however, contrasted United's record at developing their own players with Liverpool, whose academy at Kirkby has not produced a young player of note since Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher broke through in the late 1990s.
Ferguson remarked that Manchester United were well able to withstand any increased spending coming from Anfield, just as they would ride out the impact of last Saturday's crushing 4–1 defeat.
"We don't always succeed – we had our blips a few years ago when we were rebuilding and people told me it was the end of everything and my shelf life was up. But we came through."
Ferguson might still view Liverpool as his greatest rival for the Premier League title, but the Arsenal manager, Arsène Wenger, believes Chelsea could be the ones to take advantage of United's weary legs in the final few months of the season. "I think it is interesting," Wenger said. "I watched a big part of the Manchester United-Liverpool game. For me, United were the dominant team but I could see they were not sharp on the day physically, and Liverpool took advantage of that, because they are very good at doing that.
"Now can you ask if Man United are going to be a little bit jaded physically for a longer period or was it just on the day? If it is for a longer period it can be open. If it was just on the day where they were a little bit tired, which I can understand, they will still win the championship easily."


text: And being compared to a SB champion, multiple time MVP winner, future first ballot HOFer, and a guy who put up ridiculous #s is a bad thing? Yes, he has some flaws, no one is denying that. But, most of his flaws are more mental type things that can be corrected. This isn't Tim Tebow or what not, where he has to try and change his entire throwing motion. His throwing motion is just fine most of the time. Yes, he does have a tendency at times to rush and not set his feet or what not, but those are correctable. And like you said, he improved quite a bit with that from this freshman to sophomore year,. As long as he puts in the work, there is no reason to believe he can't continue to become more consistent with his footwork or what not. Again, this isn't a guy who needs to completely change his throwing motion or anything like that at all.

Starting life in 1935 the first Reliants were fitted with a 600cc 15hp J.A.P single cylinder engine and the driver sat astride the engine. This was soon replaced in 1936 by the J.A.P 750cc V twin engine so now a passenger could be carried as the van gave a more car like experience whilst driving, the vans size was also increased to 8CWT. Wanting more power in 1939 the Austin 750cc side valve engine was sourced and fitted to all vans and also allowed for the larger size van to now be made the 10CWT. After the second world war Austin announced that they were no longer going to produce the engine Reliant used, so a deal was done and Reliant could then produce there own version of the engine and Reliants first in house made engine was born.

Hypocrites 2
|From the SF Examiner
More than two years ago I posted about the SF Examiner story (SF's goal of taking its cars off the road hits speed bump) about how city departments were complying---or failing to comply---with a 2010 ordinance that required reducing the use of city cars by 20% by 2015.
Back on April 29 I asked the Department of the Environment, which is supposed to enforce the ordinance, a simple question: "Do you folks have an update on the information in this graphic from the SF Examiner in 2013?"
Still waiting for an answer. Apparently I'll have to take it to the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force to help me get an answer.
For years the city has been preying on people who drive in San Francisco, and parking tickets, parking meters, and parking garages are a major source of revenue for the city. At the same time, it's been redesigning city streets on behalf of a small minority of cyclists, encouraging city residents to abandon those wicked motor vehicles and take up cycling or ride a chronically underfunded Muni system.
Doesn't seem like too much to ask that city departments follow city policy and, while they're at it, obey the law.
Note that the SFMTA is the biggest offender.

Biggest Disappointments of the 2013 NHL SeasonMarch 20, 2013
A cursory look at the 2013 NHL standings will result in a few major shocking discoveries. Chief among them, the Washington Capitals sit in 13th place in the Eastern Conference playoff race and fourth in a troubled Southeast Division.
There's no doubt that Alexander Ovechkin is at the forefront of the criticism this year, largely due to his lackluster offensive production and uninspired leadership as team captain. But, of course, it takes 20 guys on an NHL roster to win and lose, so the finger should also be pointed in the direction Nicklas Backstrom, the newly added Mike Ribeiro, and Mike Green.
But the Caps aren't the only major disappointment in the NHL. The San Jose Sharks are right there with Washington after winning just one game in their last seven decisions. This after winning their first seven games, largely fueled by a flurry of goals from Patrick Marleau. But recently, Marleau and his teammates have joined the witness protection program.
So, what other teams are major disappointments this season? Check out Bleacher Report's latest video for a full breakdown of hockey underachievers.

Pistons-Clippers Preview
A successful comeback in their latest contest might provide the spark the Los Angeles Clippers need to string some wins together.
The Clippers look to win consecutive games for the first time in a little more than a month when they host the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.
Los Angeles (25-18) had dropped three of the first four on its six-game home stretch before overcoming a six-point deficit with less than 3 minutes to play to beat Houston 95-91 on Saturday. Chris Paul scored 12 of his 23 points in the final 2:42 to help the Clippers win for the third time in eight games.
"It's a win, a grind out win. We'll take it," said coach Vinny Del Negro, whose team moved within 2 1/2 games of the Pacific Division-leading Lakers. "It's obviously a step in the right direction, but we have to be consistent. We've got to get our energy up, play hard and continue to grind it out."
Despite shooting 40.7 percent, Del Negro's club responded after holding a team meeting following Thursday's 91-87 loss to Phoenix. However, the key for the Clippers is to build on their latest victory while trying to win back-to-back games for the first time since Feb. 15-16.
"Our confidence is high, we can't panic," said forward DeAndre Jordan, who pulled down 11 rebounds Saturday. "Our standing is still pretty good (in the Western Conference) and we're trying to win games and move up."
The Clippers hope the acquisition of fifth-year swingman and Los Angeles area native Nick Young (16.6 points per game) from Washington at the trade deadline will help. Though there is a chance Young could make his Clippers debut in this contest, it's likely not to come until Tuesday at Indiana.
"We just felt it was the right thing to do right now," Del Negro told the Clippers' official website. "How it's all going to come together with the chemistry of the team and everything time will tell."
Young is excited to play with Paul, who broke out Saturday after totaling 37 points in the previous three games. Blake Griffin had 18 points before fouling out against the Rockets.
Griffin has totaled 42 points and 35 rebounds in two career games versus Detroit.
Though the Clippers have won three of four versus Detroit following a 13-game series skid, the Pistons won 113-107 in overtime in the last meeting at Staples Center on Nov. 12, 2010.
Detroit's Rodney Stuckey had 17 points with six assists in that contest, and has averaged 26.8 on 35-of-60 shooting (58.3 percent) and 7.3 assists in the last four games overall. He had 23 points and eight assists as the Pistons (16-28) fell to 1-2 on a five-game western trip with a 109-101 loss to Phoenix on Friday.
Detroit lost for the second time in six games despite shooting 51.3 percent. The Pistons, 12-8 since a season-high seven skid, have shot 53.3 percent over the last five contests.
However, the Pistons need to improve on the defensive end after the first three opponents on this trip have averaged 105.0 points and made 51.7 percent of their shots.
"The good thing is we're in (games now)," coach Lawrence Frank told the Pistons' official website. "It's the maturity of getting stops. That will determine, at the end of the day, who wins and loses."

Despite the overwhelming diversity of life on Earth, one theme has dominated its evolution: the apparently simple act of moving from one place to another.
Restless Creatures is the first book for a general audience telling the incredible story of locomotion in human and animal evolution. Evolutionary biologist Matt Wilkinson shows why our ancestors became two-legged, why we have opposable thumbs, why the backbone appeared, how fish fins became limbs, how even trees are locomotion-obsessed, and how movement has shaped our minds as well as our bodies.
He explains why there are no flying monkeys or biological wheels, how dinosaurs took to the air, how Mexican waves began in the animal kingdom, and why moving can make us feel good. Restless Creatures opens up an astonishing new perspective: that nothing in life makes sense except in the light of movement.

"Amazing insight to our lives"
I won't lie this book has technical bits but it is done well enough that you understand what the point is. Don't be scared it put off I have recommended it to a large variety of people and they have all loved it.

I think they elected him because they thought he'd be someone they could manipulate. But Bush genuinely feels like he was elected to govern. -- Jules Carlysle, Author of DUMBASS
* * *
When we came across the title "Dumbass" with a creepy photograph of George W. Bush on the cover, we knew that we had to investigate further. What we discovered was probably the best presentation of the collected idiocy of our president, a man of such staggering arrrested development that even as we speak his father's royal court advisors are gathering to bail junior out of his mega-fiasco in Iraq.
It's the story of George's life: fail and daddy's buddies will save your dumbass.
We talked with the author and found out that she lives in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and is recovering from a head injury. Due to some sort of divine justice, her research on Bush's inane, hypocritical, and incomprehensible utterances helped her to recover her own cognitive abilities.
Yes, there's quite a story behind "Dumbass," indeed.
* * *
BuzzFlash: The title of your book is kind of dramatic. Most people won't be so bold as to simply state the true feeling of many people, which is that the President of the United States is a dumbass. How did you come to pick the title?
Jules Carlysle: I don't even remember really deciding to do the book. I was working on something else, and I came across these George W. quotes, and I thought: Well, I'm just going to set these aside, because this is pretty interesting. By the end of that weekend, I had something like 8,000 quotes and thousands of pages on my computer of just stupid George W. Bush stuff. I was infuriated by the entire thing -- all this evidence of nonsense. I feel like I don't have anything to lose by speaking the truth. I'm Canadian, and, also, what are you going to take away from me at this point in my life?
BuzzFlash: You have a fascinating personal story, which is described on your website, JulesCarlysle.com. As you say there, you suddenly had a lot of time on your hands since you experienced a head injury. How exactly did that happen? We recall you writing that you felt your IQ oozing out of your head.
Jules Carlysle: I was leaving my office on a Sunday afternoon in January in Thunder Bay, and I just slipped. We've got about four stairs there. It's a brick building. I put one foot down, and it came out from underneath me, so I put the other foot down, and it came out from underneath me. I was in midair, and I thought my back was going to hit the cement stairs, and that's what I was scared of. But my head hit the wall first and sort of diverted me.
I was unconscious in the snow for about three hours until a couple of homeless guys found me-- I've assumed -- because I opened my eyes and thought: Why is this scary man about to kiss me? -- because my face was in his hands. And that was it.
BuzzFlash: How long were you hospitalized?
Jules Carlysle: I wasn't. We've got a very critical shortage of doctors up here -- about forty or fifty thousand people don't have a primary care physician. The very weekend that I had my accident, they were moving patients over to the big hospital where they took me, and there was a bed shortage. Overall, I wound up with six visits to the hospital, but no admittance.
The first time, they brought me in by ambulance. One time I wandered over to the hospital on my own. And, then, I fell asleep outside my brother's, and someone called the hospital again and they took me back again. They checked me over and drove me home, because there was really no place to keep me anyway.
BuzzFlash: You say that you wrote this book, in many ways, as therapy. There was a certain irony that in researching this man that you call a dumbass, that by looking through his idiotic statements, you managed to recover a lot of your cognitive ability.
Jules Carlysle: Yes. Right after the accident, I wasn't getting better. I did have a bit of contact with doctors and with social workers and those sorts of people. But there really wasn't anything that they could do for me. They said, you've just got to learn to adjust to your new limitations. My limitations were, I couldn't read, which was really frustrating. By the time I got to the middle of a sentence, I'd forget what the first words of the sentence were. So it was just -- what do you call it? -- gobbledygook. I couldn't hang onto it long enough to comprehend it.
And, of course, short-term memory was an issue. I was missing large chunks of time. So, I really don't know why I decided to do the book, but I wasn't having any sort of cognitive rehabilitation therapy.
I was incredibly bored. I would sit down at the computer for hours and hours and hours at a stretch -- eighteen hours at a stretch, just on the computer, researching. When I started to pull out quotes, there was a lot of memory work involved. I'd have to be looking at the screen, and go to another screen, and remember what I was doing when I got there. It was very tedious. But by the end of it -- ten months of that -- I was better.
BuzzFlash: We have this ironic situation that the man who responded to 9/11 by reading My Pet Goat was responsible for restoring your mental capacity.
Jules Carlysle: Yes. I told a friend about my accident and about the work I was doing. She lives far away, but she was concerned about me. She had done a lot of research about what sort of therapy I should be doing, and she said that's what they would have had me doing in therapy. They would have had me doing reading and memory work, and really basic cognitive stuff, and just repetition.
BuzzFlash: You also had as motivation the fact that, at the time, most of this went unreported in the media.
Jules Carlysle: Yes.
BuzzFlash: In the last month or so, the American media has become a little more forthcoming in terms of actually reporting what Bush says rather than covering it up. But you were asking, how could anyone who could say things so basically stupid become the President of the United States?
Jules Carlysle: It was infuriating. I had owned a great big company, and I couldn't get a job now. I didn't qualify for any of Canada's great social programs, so we were really suffering. I was looking for just any kind of work I could get my hands on, but I was unemployable.
Yet I was still not nearly as stupid as Bush. And they elected him President. It just blows my mind. I don't know how that happens.
BuzzFlash: This is an enormous book. If you sold this by the pound, you'd be a millionaire.
Jules Carlysle: You know what? That's not all there is. There's only fourteen hundred quotes in there. I've got 4,000 more that I kept in the archives.
BuzzFlash: You also intersperse the Bush quotes with quotations from other people highlighting his idiocy. As we have often said on BuzzFlash, if he was a black American Democrat, he would have been impeached or lynched back in 2001.
Jules Carlysle: Is the Republican machine just that much more powerful? I don't understand how they could impeach Clinton but not Bush. If you make that suggestion, there are gasps.
BuzzFlash: It doesn't make any sense, as your book points out. He just says things, and the press reports whatever the official White House news release is, not what he actually said, which often makes the White House policy incomprehensible. He says things that literally are baffling.
Jules Carlysle: It's supposed to be funny. I mean, I found him funny in small doses. But when you read it cover to cover, it's frightening. I just can't imagine. I say in the Afterword, and I actually believe this, I think they elected him because they thought he'd be someone they could manipulate. But Bush genuinely feels like he was elected to govern.
I can't imagine that a group like the Republican Party would actually look at him and say, yeah, he's our leader. I had a friend who was kind of dumb, and he's now a member of Parliament because his handlers fully acknowledge behind his back that they wanted someone they could feed their ideology to -- that they could get the stuff done that they wanted to get done, and they were looking for someone malleable. I kind of look at Bush that way -- that he really does think that God wants him to be President, and that he's the decider.
BuzzFlash: Mark Crispin Miller, a regular commentator on BuzzFlash, has talked about Bush's dysfunctional language. He says at times Bush does make sense, when there's something that he actually feels comfortable with, like executions. He will make sense and say, I will execute this person no matter what anyone thinks, because it's the right thing to do. And it's a relatively straightforward declarative sentence. But when it's anything to do with the image that the handlers try to make him out to be, particularly as a populist and sort of a common man, he doesn't make any sense.
One of the famous quotes that we recall Mark Crispin Miller citing was about, "I know how hard it is to put food on your family." This is because he really doesn't have any experience of having to provide for his family. People have always provided for him. He was a spoiled rich kid, and his father was always bailing him out of business troubles.
Jules Carlysle: I understand that he was very good at being the baseball owner.
BuzzFlash: Even there, he was the front man. In the United States, there's this tradition of hiring celebrities to be greeters. Joe Lewis, the great boxer, became a greeter at a Las Vegas casino. Bush was sort of the greeter for the Texas Rangers. He was hired as the general manager, but he spent most of his time in his box seat signing baseballs for people while someone else ran the team. Then they gave him a disproportionate share of the profits. He bought in with money that his father's friends had lent him, and also with part of the Harken Energy settlement, which is disputed as to whether or not he had insider knowledge. He was there sort of just as a name. His biggest accomplishment was trading Sammy Sosa to the Chicago Cubs, so he failed there, too.
Jules Carlysle: Yes, but he should do that. He apparently was very happy doing that. So let him go do that. Leave the politicking to real people with brains.
There's a woman here in Thunder Bay who won't speak to me because of my book. She loves George W. Bush. I tried to understand for a while. I could imagine him being my neighbor down the road, walking up and sitting down at the kitchen table, and having a beer with the gang, and playing cards. That's not a president; that's a neighbor. That's a friend. I want a president to be so much more than me. I want him to be brilliant and larger than life, and I want him to be able to stand up in history and account for something. I want to look up to him. I don't want him to sit at my table and have a beer. I don't understand why the public wouldn't want that, too.
BuzzFlash: That's sort of a manufactured image, because he's really a wealthy kid, and he's not a person of the common man. But in any case, it's kind of fascinating to us that, as a Canadian, you wrote this book. We've seen many collections of quotations by Bush. Yours is the most fascinating because of the way it's grouped, and how the other quotations and commentary are interspersed in it. And, as you say, the sheer volume of idiocy in here is just shocking. He is barely a viable, cognitive human being.
It's become acceptable in the United States to sort of dismiss the notion that Bush is stupid. Yet it clearly seems that we have a co-presidency. Rove is the domestic president, and Cheney is the foreign policy president. Bush is merely the puppet out there.
Jules Carlysle: Yes.
BuzzFlash: I personally don't subscribe to the theory that he's very sharp at anything, including politics. It's all done for him. It's just like being Prince Charles. You have all these people who handle you and handle things for you, and you just have to go out and make formal statements. Bush is fine with the formal statements, but as soon as he freelances, he can barely say an intelligible sentence.
Jules Carlysle: I know.
BuzzFlash: We have many Canadian readers at BuzzFlash -- many who send us condolences. They also worry that Canada is like the small house that's next to the big tree that is leaning over and looks like it may fall on the small house any day.
Jules Carlysle: I used to worry about that, but I don't have that concern anymore. I guess I've always felt like an honorary American. I'm not quite sure what my affection is based on, but I have it. And my son and I will refer to "our president" -- we take some ownership of what's happening in the States. From a spectator point of view, politics in your country is a blood sport, and it's not in Canada.
BuzzFlash: I recall, long ago, talking to a woman who was the corporate vice president for a company in Canada. She said, the cliché up here in Canada is that America is about the Declaration of Independence. We in Canada emphasize peace, order and good government. In the United States, you emphasize life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It's just a different emphasis.
Jules Carlysle: I have never thought of it that way. It is interesting. If you look at the people that are influencing what's going on politically in the U.S. -- the media pundits and such -- people are gearing for fights. They want the blood spilled. The most extreme voices are the ones that get heard. And it's entertainment, instead of good government. Up here in Thunder Bay, I've got these really good people that work locally, and I can just trust them to govern. Occasionally, something comes up, like the sponsorship scandal, and you get pissed off about it.
BuzzFlash: Could you explain that sponsorship scandal?
Jules Carlysle: Years ago, when Quebec was planning on separating, they held a referendum to decide whether or not they were going to go for sovereignty. The liberal government apparently set aside a huge amount of money to buy pro-unity advertising in Quebec. They sent that money to liberal, friendly advertising companies. It was all cronyism, apparently. There are allegations of bags of cash being passed between these guys at diners.
Quebec was really pissed off about the sponsorship scandal and I think: Why? How did it affect you? Why are you insulted? They were spending hundreds of millions of dollars to convince you to stay as part of the country, but this doesn't take anything out of your mouths specifically. But anyway, it was a huge deal, and they had a trial and a couple of people are in jail now from the Liberal Party.
BuzzFlash: And you're saying that's unusual.
Jules Carlysle: It's very unusual. There are very few big scandals up here.
BuzzFlash: As background for our American readers, you have a conservative government now -- is that correct?
Jules Carlysle: We do.
BuzzFlash: How did that happen, and what are the implications of that?
Jules Carlysle: We've been liberal for years and years. But when the sponsorship allegations came to light, our liberal prime minister Martin said that after the inquiry, he would call general elections. Because people were so angry at the Liberal Party, the Conservative Party got in, but they have a minority government, which is even trickier actually, because it's not a two-party system.
BuzzFlash: The model is the British Parliament, not the American government. But here you have this enormous colossus to your south that's a superpower that wields its military might. I think you said on your website that when America sneezes, Canada says gesundheit. Is there just a feeling like, how can this guy be President of the United States?
Jules Carlysle: Yes. We're watching with our mouths hanging open with shock at what's happening in the States. But with the exception of me and a handful of other people -- Canadians are not obsessed about the U.S. Canada really is a very different country, and very comfortable in our skin.
Tucker Carlson said that Canada's like a stalker -- or like your retarded cousin that you see only at Christmas. But we're not. We didn't go with you to Vietnam. We stood up and said it was not what we do. And we didn't go with you to Iraq. But when the disasters happen, we're right there. We're sending the ships to New Orleans. And we're in Afghanistan, heading up the newer mission of the rebuilding. We're here. We're watching. But we don't feel like you're going to roll over one night and crush us in our sleep.
You're our largest trading partner, but we're yours, too. When people get lippy from the States, I want to say, hey, guess what? We've got oil and you don't. You want to have an embargo against Canada? Knock yourself out. Go ask Hugo Chavez for oil. I know, I'm not very nice. But it really ticks me off. We have such a good economy right now. I think this is our ninth year in a row with a multi-billion-dollar budget surplus. We're going to be the first G7 nation with zero debt. All that and universal healthcare, too -- how cool is that?
BuzzFlash: You did say it's hard to get a doctor. And you had to recover from serious traumatic brain injury by yourself.
Jules Carlysle: Thunder Bay is really far removed from anything. We're about eight hours in any direction from a major city. Thunder Bay is the largest center up here, and we've got about fifty remote communities around us. 38 of them don't have any roads. So it's a very hard place to get people to want to come and stay.
BuzzFlash: Well, you're there. Why are you there?
Jules Carlysle: They asked me nicely. I grew up here. I left. My friend's father was here. I got an offer to come up and work at the technology centers, which was basically an economic development tool, and I had some expertise there. I came up to help them develop their skilled labor force and address some of their economic development issues. So that's why I'm here.
BuzzFlash: Let's get back to this really wonderful book. Did you at some point become numbed? Didn't you want to say, I can't handle this anymore?
Jules Carlysle: I'm surprised that I didn't, although I worried after it came out. It was even bigger when it first came out, and I have cut it down considerably since the first printing. I worried that it wasn't going to be interesting for people -- that maybe the ones I chose to keep, I should have left out, or there was something better that should have gone in. The whole thing didn't take shape for me until I decided to put in those other quotes to go with Bush's. That's what really made it jell.
Sometimes it would make me sick -- I would literally get a pain in my stomach. I'd phone a friend and say, I just can't understand how this happened. I can't understand how they let this happen.
BuzzFlash: When you look at this now in terms of the mid-term elections, there does seem, at least in the American press, to be some realism slipping into the press which we haven't seen in about six years about Iraq, about Bush's capabilities, about the Foley scandal and so forth. Are you hopeful that Americans may be coming to their senses somewhat?
Jules Carlysle: I'm hopeful, but I am realistically looking to see whether a change will happen. Let's look at the Foley cover-up, and the fact that people came out after it trying to blame Bill Clinton and the Democrats. That people would listen to that, and pick up on that, and then start parroting that back -- argh! It's so irresponsible, and people seem to be so easily sucked in -- their brains have shut off. I don't know if I have much hope that things are going to turn the way they need to.
BuzzFlash: Do you get Fox News in Canada?
Jules Carlysle: I do -- despite what your O'Reilly says -- I was watching him on Fox News when he said that Fox News wasn't allowed in Canada.
BuzzFlash: It's available through cable, basically?
Jules Carlysle: Yes, everything is cable up here.
BuzzFlash: You're working now on another book?
Jules Carlysle: I've been working on this Bill O'Reilly book for some time. I don't know if I'm going to finish it. I feel my passion for the subject kind of has drained. He is insignificant. When he was new news to me, he drove me nuts. But now, I'm not all that worried about him. He is insidious.
I've got all the material -- 600 pages worth of material on him -- but there's been a gap in how to make it interesting, like the problem I had at one point with the Dumbass book. With Bill O'Reilly, you have to know what you're listening for, because he can talk. He's really good. But there's an awful lot of explaining needed to explain what's wrong with Bill O'Reilly.
BuzzFlash: Jules, thank you so much. Dumbass is a wonderful book, and we're proud to sell it. We'll be talking with you in the future.
Jules Carlysle: Okay, thanks.

DUMBASS (Paperback), by Jules Carlysle, a BuzzFlsh Premium.

As prices at the pump gradually move back up, one finds no shortage of people calling for new financial regulations. Frequently blamed on speculators, higher gasoline prices are — as some politicians say — the result of lax laws regulating the financial system.
Nevertheless, can it really be only speculators that are driving up the price of oil? Surely, the petroleum market is deeper than that.
Without question, those with very deep pockets can drive up the price of just about any commodity, but typically only for a very short amount of time. Unless of course they have access to a virtually unlimited supply of paper money.
Today, monetary stimulus implemented by the Federal Reserve is transmitted primarily through incentivizing risk-taking and leveraging in the securities, derivatives and other risk asset markets.
Nevertheless, as Doug Noland recently put it,
"Traditionally, central bank stimulus would entail adding reserves into the banking system to effectively reduce the cost of funds, thereby incentivizing additional bank lending.
The U.S. financial authorities now have about 20 years of experience supporting the thesis that a dangerously powerful interplay exists between activist central banking, marketable debt and financial speculation.
Yet the Fed makes quite sure that its analysis avoids addressing the associated risks of its ever-increasing role in manipulating the pricing and trading dynamics of an ever-expanding quantity of securities, derivatives and market speculation".
Once past the stagflationary 1970's, oil prices remained relatively reasonable all the way up until the 2000's. Throughout the 1990's, the average American family enjoyed driving their minivans all around town with the price of gasoline fluctuating no higher than $0.80 a gallon.
Perhaps they are starting to wonder why those days of moderate gas prices now seem to be long gone. Why will gasoline never come back to $0.80 a gallon? Because the cheap oil is gone. Potential silver investors need to understand that the cheap silver will soon also be gone.
Throughout recent history, governments have subsidized energy consumption and production, so people consumed too much because it was kept too cheap. Now that all the easily found oil has been brought to the surface, the only oil remaining is harder to find and apparently considerably more expensive to produce as well.
Investors might wonder if the same situation may exist for silver. The widespread and expanding use of silver in electronics will be costly to recycle.
Also, an informal survey of dealers and buyers indicated that 40 ounces is the average amount of silverware held by those households who still possess it, although it remains difficult to assess how much of this source of silver was recycled in the 70's and early 80's. Nevertheless, compared to the previous generation, baby boomers seem much less likely to own real silverware.
Furthermore, having had its price manipulated by large banking interests using the futures markets, physical silver remained far too cheap throughout the 1990's and even into the early 2000's.
As the second decade of this new millennium begins an era where people are more dependent on electronics than at any other time in history, perhaps this will also be the ten years that lead silver to a new price boom analogous to oil's recent historical rise.
Basically, this demonstrates the very obvious problem involved with subsidizing the use of any valuable commodity — either directly or indirectly — that remains in finite supply.

Mets ace Johan Santana received a no decision on April 24 against Miami in the Mets' 2-1 come-from-behind victory against the Fish. Santana pitched 6.2 innings and allowed one run on three hits and recorded a season-high 11 strikeouts in his best start of the season. It was his 50th career double-digit strikeout game.
Continuing to get stronger as the season wears on, Santana tossed 105 pitches in his last game, the most he has tossed since August 22, 2010 at Pittsburgh when he threw 109 pitches. Brimming with confidence, the decision was made that on Sunday, Santana will pitch for the first time this season on the traditional four days of rest. Before today, he has gotten an extra day of rest between every start. "Everything has been fine and no problems," the Mets left-hander said. "I'm ready to get back on the mound."
Johan goes up against the ageless wonder Jaime Moyer, who at age 47 continues to pitch well for the Rockies and confounds the experts.
Santana has a perfect record against the Rockies in his career. In two career starts vs. Colorado, Santana is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 16 innings pitched with 18 strikeouts. The last time he faced them in 2010, he spun a masterful four hit shutout.
It would seem a win today is written in the stars, but when has any victory come so easily for these Mets?
In four starts this season, the Mets have yet to score a single run for their come-back ace. It's incredible to believe, but true enough and hardly surprising.
Going into this season who would have thought that scoring runs would be the biggest concern in a Johan Santana start?
It's a testament to how far Santana has come and a reflection of his warrior's mentality that makes him such a great competitor and the perfect pitcher to lead this rotation. I hope Sandy Alderson doesn't do something stupid and trades him at the deadline. Our youngsters could gain so much from an ace like this.
Enjoy the game.

Story highlights
- Brazil wins pole vault gold with new Olympic record
- Women's 400 meters has near photo finish
- Russian boxing champ suffers boos
(CNN)The Rio Olympic Games ended its first day of its final week with spectacular drama, controversial decision, game-changing missteps and heavy showers.
Heavy rain delayed events while some competitors -- hurdlers, field hockey players and discus throwers -- got caught in it. But in the end there was more drama than simply what was caused by a slippery track.
Never underestimate the local
Few were keeping an eye on Brazil's Thiago Braz da Silva yesterday when they were talking about who might pole vault for the gold. All focus was on world record-holder Renaud Lavillenie of France, who has cleared an astonishing 6.16 meters -- and fans were wondering if he could go higher.
He couldn't, but he still looked on course to win after clearing 5.98 meters.
Da Silva raised the ante to 6.03 meters, missed it and then cleared it.
Lavillenie couldn't match it and the Brazilian took home the gold medal while setting a new Olympic record.
Lavillenie settled for the silver, while American Sam Kendricks won the bronze with 5.85 meters.
Da Silva becomes only the sixth Brazilian to win an athletics gold medal at an Olympic Games.
The Brazilians went appropriately nuts.
Kenyan holds on to Olympic title
Kenyan runner David Rudisha successfully defended his 800 meter title after his compatriot Alfred Kipketer flew through the first 200 meters in 23 seconds but, unsurprisingly, couldn't sustain his lead.
The enthusiastic 19-year-old faded badly at the 600 meter mark and Rudisha opened up his stride, all 6-foot-3 of him, and with the finish line in his sights nobody was catching him, and he cruised across in 1:42:15.
It was slower than the world record he set at the 2012 Games when he ran 1:40.91, but it still earned him an almost immediate shout out from Kenya President Uhuru Kenyatta, who took to Twitter with the gusto of a Donald Trump.
"Standing Ovation @rudishadavid, you are a great soldier. Absolute class," said the presidential tweet.
Algeria's Taoufik Makhloufi took the silver and Clayton Murphy of the USA snatched the bronze.
New Olympic champion for Bahamas
But there was more drama in the women's 400 meters in which Bahamian Shaunae Miller literally hurled herself across the finish line to claim the gold a whisker ahead of American Allyson Felix who had hoped to add to her golden tally on the track.
Felix had made a valiant effort at the end but even with a stumble at the finish line, Miller finished with 49.44 seconds.
Felix finished second with 49.51 and Shericka Jackson of Jamaica was third with 49.85
The USA can still half claim the gold, sort of. The flag-bearer for the Bahamas is a student and star at the University of Georgia.
A slip on the balance beam leaves teenage star unruffled
A slip on the balance beam cost teen Simone Biles the chance to be the first female gymnast to win five gold medals at a single Games since 1904. But the American athlete didn't let winning a bronze phase her. After all, third best in the world isn't bad.
"I'm not disappointed in the medal that I received because anyone would love to have a bronze at an Olympic Games," she said. I'm disappointed in the routine that I did. Not so much the entire routine just the front tuck I guess, because the rest of the routine was pretty good.
She may not have won gold herself -- that went to Sanne Wevers of the Netherlands -- but the 19-year-old was delighted for US teammate Lauren Hernandez, who took silver on the beam.
Biles still has one more gold medal in her sights -- the floor exercise final -- and is confident nerves don't play a part when she's out on the mat.
Italian goes on to win cycling gold
Great Britain's cyclist Mark Cavendish held up his hands and took the blame Monday for a collision during the final event Monday that resulted in South Korea's Sang-hoon Park being carried away on a stretcher.
Park and Cavendish's clash resulted in a crash that temporarily took out Italy's Elia Viviani -- who got back on bike and claimed the gold -- and Australia's Glenn O'Shea, who also finished the race.
Park was rushed out of the arena while his competitors finished the fifth and final event of the men's omnium points race competition, an all-round test of six events, from sprints to endurance.
Cavendish still took the silver and Denmark's 2012 Olympic champion Lasse Norman Hansen took the bronze.
The British rider blamed one of his moves for the collision.
"It was my fault, I should have been looking more," he said."I hope he (Sang-hoon) is all right."
Viviani was adamant Cavendish wasn't to blame.
"No. It's not his fault," the Italian champion said. "The Korean guy was halfway on his wheel to the right, normally you stay on the wheel. Cav was in the front and changed direction. So it's all normal. It's a normal crash on the track."
Park suffered a mild contusion and was released from the hospital after being examined.
Did the bad-behaving fans have a point? Boxing champ wonders
Russian boxer Evgeny Tishchenko had to endure boos to claim his gold medal in the men's heavy 91 kilogram category.
Many in the hostile crowd believed the judges should have scored Kazakhstan's Vassiliy Levit higher.
Tishchenko said the crowed may have had a point.
"I was whistled after the gong and I don't know the reason for that," he said after the fight. "But if people behave like this, then they have a reason to be like that. So maybe it (the victory) was not really fair."
10km women's swim: Silver medalist disqualified
Drama in the women's 10 kilometer swim began Monday morning as French swimmer Aurelie Muller was disqualified after finishing second to Sharon van Rouwendal of the Netherlands.
Muller was deemed to have impeded fellow competitors in the closing stages of the race.
France's loss was Italy and Brazil's gain as Rachele Bruni and Poliana Okimoto were elevated to silver and bronze medal positions.
It became Brazil's fifth bronze and the host's eighth medal overall.
One misstep and years of work down the drain
A false start cost France's Wilhem Belocian any chance to win a medal for which he had been favored to do. His misstep in heat four of the 110 meter hurdles left the the hurdler distraught.
It meant he was disqualified before his first -- and only -- Olympic race for this year's Games.

Captain America: The First Avenger
Genre: Action, Superhero, Science-Fiction
125 minutes
Chris Evans stars as the American super soldier, out to stop the fearsome Red Skull from using superior technology to take over the world.
Captain America: The First Avenger, the latest in Marvel's line of blockbuster franchise adaptations, pulls out all the stops in getting the fans riled up for the Avengers film next year. Directed by Hollywood veteran Joe Johnston, he manages to combine everything needed to produce a quintessential comic book movie and does so beautifully. It functions well as a sort of adventure period film, with the background of WW2 and a touch of self-aware silliness. The visual effects are generally fantastic, as are most Johnston movies, with the exception of some hokey green-screening for a pulp action feel. It doesn't look great, but it fits the aesthetic and tone of the story. The digital alteration of Chris Evans into a 90 pound weakling is particularly impressive, and while not perfect, demonstrates how far special effects have come.
Not really known for his acting prowess, Evans shines in the best role of his career. His role as Steve Rogers is both awkward and charming, incredibly All-American without being obnoxious about it. No stranger to superhero films, the difference here is the fantastic script by the team of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. The dialogue is funny and ridiculously entertaining, yet amazingly subtle and nuanced when it needs to be. This is exactly the kind of writing that fits the superhero genre, and allows the entire cast to reach their greatest potential. Hugo Weaving's Red Skull exemplifies this balance between the cartoonish and genuine, taking a comic book supervillain and making it work with depth and character. Tommy Lee Jones as Col. Chester Phillips could have been just another military stereotype, but somehow exists as more than that, feeling completely in touch with the environment around him. Everything is tight and polished, from the performances to the plot, and is definitely one of the best written superhero movies to date.
Johnston knows his action, and it all comes together here. The choreography isn't particularly sophisticated or elegant, but it's a solid piece of work, and gets the job done well. The effects add flash and style to the already potent pyrotechnics, blending the CGI and practical effects wonderfully. Captain America is a fantastically fun film, and is certainly the strongest action movie to come out this summer. Whether you're a fan of the comics or not, if you plan to see only one blockbuster this season, make this the one.

Lone Pine in the Movies: Celebrating the Roy Rogers Centennial
One hundred years ago, Leonard Franklin Slye was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. His family later moved to the small hamlet of Duck Run, where they worked a farm that produced a meager living. Young Len wanted a lot more from life, and he eventually got it as Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys, hero to millions of American children and a star of both big-screen and small-screen productions. Roy began his storied career right here in Lone Pine, where his first starring film Under Western Stars was made in early 1938. We go into some detail on that motion picture in the article that follows. For better or worse, Roy s career crisscrossed and intersected that of Gene Autry, the screen s first singing-cowboy star and the top box-office draw of Republic Pictures, where both men plied their trade for years. In his 1976 book Hollywood Corral, film historian Don Miller recognized their unique connection and decided to cover Gene and Roy together. His essay, The Men from Music Mountain, was of course included in the 1992 Riverwood Press reissue of Hollywood Corral. But both versions of Miller s invaluable history have been out of print for many years now, and we re confident that many people reading Don s essay here will be seeing it for the first time. Chris Langley, a former director of the Lone Pine Film Festival and still on the board of the Museum of Film History, has been contributing to Lone Pine in the Movies since we published the first issue in 2003. From that number which, like Hollywood Corral, is long out of print we have reprinted by popular demand his groundbreaking article on silent-era director Clarence Badger. Chris is also represented in these pages with his latest essay, an overview of the career of director Lesley Selander, a frequent visitor to Lone Pine whose Westerns shot here include the vehicles of such major Western stars as Buck Jones and Tim Holt, as well as many entries in the Hopalong Cassidy series starring William Boyd. This year, with his superb article on Brigham Young (1940), we enlist in our Writers Brigade a distinguished new contributor. James V. D Arc, Ph.D., has been at Brigham Young University s L. Tom Perry Special Collections since 1976. He is curator of the BYU Motion Picture Archive, the BYU Film Music Archive and the Arts and Communications Archive, and also runs the BYU Motion Picture Archive Film Series. Jim is responsible for acquiring and assisting patrons with access to BYU s motion picture-related manuscript collections that include Cecil B. DeMille, Merian C. Cooper, Henry Koster, James Stewart, Andy Devine, Max Steiner, Ernest Gold, Hugo Friedhofer, Ken Darby, Jack Mathis, and the Republic Pictures Music Archive. Since 1995, he has produced limited edition original soundtrack albums from the Max Steiner Collection at BYU, with a total of 18 titles in print. He provided the audio commentary for Fox Home Entertainment s DVD of Brigham Young and can be seen on various documentaries, including American Epic: Cecil B. DeMille, Hello, I m King Kong!, and The Ten Commandments: Making Miracles. Jim is the author of When Hollywood Came to Town: A History of Moviemaking in Utah (Layton, UT: Gibbs Smith, 2010), a hardcover book with more than 350 illustrations with behind the scenes stories and that also identifies locations for the dozens of great western classic films made in Utah since 1924. This is his second time at the Lone Pine Film Festival. He previously visited us in 2009, when he graciously allowed us to screen one of BYU s treasures, the classic 1943 Republic serial Daredevils of the West. Once again we re greatly in his debt, and we guarantee you ll enjoy his impeccably researched article. Finally, in responses to dozens perhaps hundreds of requests we ve received over the last five years or so, we are including a revised and updated checklist of films made wholly or partially on locations in Lone Pine and the eastern Sierras.

"We are excited about the future direction of ISTH and its evolving brand," says Professor Michael Berndt, chairman of council of the ISTH.
Carrboro, NC, USA (PRWEB) June 20, 2013
For the first time in its 44 years, the ISTH, a global not-for-profit organization advancing the understanding, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of thrombotic and bleeding disorders, is unveiling a new logo and brand identity to increase the global impact of the Society. The logo replaces the original logo, and reflects the vibrancy and diversity of the ISTH. The new identity combines the Society's notable past with its ambitions and goals for the future and reflects the mission and work of the ISTH. It will be formally unveiled on June 30 at the Opening Ceremony of ISTH 2013 in Amsterdam.
The new ISTH logo was decided on after embarking on a comprehensive journey over the last year to enhance the impact of the Society. Hundreds of organizational ambassadors, members, partners and stakeholders shared their comments, thoughts and visions for the Society to create a dynamic new identity. The new logo design was brought to life through a detailed creative process and unanimously adopted by ISTH leadership. This experience provided ISTH with the opportunity to craft an inspiring brand story that showcases the significant accomplishments of its members in transformative scientific discoveries, as well as its seminal contributions to standards and nomenclature in thrombosis and haemostasis. As such, the new identity offers a striking logo that takes important concepts such as leading-edge science, inclusiveness and engagement and infuses it with the historic, scholarly values of a leading global organization.
"Organizations such as the ISTH must constantly strive to look at the needs of its members and wider community and adopt new ways to have the greatest impact in their respective fields," says Professor Michael Berndt, chairman of council of the ISTH. "The ISTH is at this particular crossroads and as we are developing and introducing new programs and activities aimed at fostering research, improving clinical practice and education, we felt that this new area of the Society should manifest itself also in the Society's visual identity. We are excited about the future direction of ISTH and its evolving brand."
The logo was created to complete the Society's new visual identity, which will bring a cohesive look and feel to all online and print materials. It also highlights the Society's commitment to building greater awareness of bleeding and clotting disorders and will help expand the ISTH's global efforts. Along with the new identity, the ISTH moves forward more inspired, driven and connected than ever to ensure its members have access to the most current scientific knowledge, educational opportunities and avenues for professional networking necessary to be successful in their research and the development of new treatments and therapies for the millions of individuals worldwide impacted by clotting and bleeding disorders. Furthermore, the ISTH seeks to grow its global professional community, offer new exciting benefits to its members and broaden its international footprint and relationships worldwide.
An introduction video will be available on our website at http://www.isth.org on July 1. Additionally, a full virtual toolbox of the new ISTH logo and other key collateral items will also be available and accessible via the Society's website during the first week in July. For questions, contact the ISTH Marketing and Communications Manager Louise Bannon at louise_bannon(at)isth(dot)org or via phone at +1 919-929-3807.
About Thromboembolic Diseases: A Major Global Health Concern:
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major public health problem worldwide, contributing to an estimated >500,000 deaths in Europe and >300,000 deaths in the United States each year. VTE creates a major burden on healthcare systems with management of the condition often extending far beyond the initial event.
Founded in 1969, the ISTH is the leading worldwide not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing the understanding, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of thrombotic and bleeding disorders. ISTH is an international professional membership organization with over 3,500 clinicians, researchers and educators working together to improve the lives of patients in more than 84 countries around the world. Among its highly regarded activities and initiatives are education and standardization programs, research activities; meetings and conferences, peer-reviewed publications and expert committees. Visit ISTH online at http://www.isth.org.
At ISTH 2013, over 8,000 of the world's leading experts on thrombosis, haemostasis and vascular biology will come together to present the most recent advances, exchange the latest science and discuss the newest clinical applications designed to improve patient care. Through an extensive lineup of educational sessions, poster and oral communications, state-of-the-art lectures, medical industry exhibits and professional networking opportunities, the Congress promotes important scientific discourse and advancement.
Plan to attend our upcoming ISTH 2013 and the Annual Scientific and Standardization Committee (SSC) Meeting (http://www.isth2013.org) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from June 29-July 4, 2013. To register as a journalist, contact Louise Bannon at louise_bannon(at)isth(dot)org.
