The C4[1] conference this past weekend feature some skilled iPhone coding, resulting in the creating of the first native (UIKit) iPhone game, Lights Off. And if gaming's not your thing, a third party has released an iPhone web application for Skype, which allows iPhone users to access some Skype features from the browser.
As the name implies, Lights Off is similar to the "Lights Out" electronic game that was popular back in the 90s. The premise is simple: turn off all the lights on the board. Touching a square will turn it on or off and will also toggle the state of the squares to the left and right, as well as above and below. It's a simple game with a nice, iPhone-native implementation, which is probably why it took second prize during the IronCoder competition. The game is free to download. Just as a warning, though, the installation requires using a "jailbreak" tool to access the filesystem as well as SSH access.
The Skype for iPhone application is a useful one, although it isn't quite the full Skype app that the name promises. Skype for iPhone is actually a web interface to the IM+ mobile messaging software developer by SHAPE Services. The main functionality of the app is of course making Skype calls, which can be made to PCs or to landlines using SkypeOut. The application also allows the sending of SMS messages through Skype and of Skype IMs. The service is in beta testing, and seems to be sporadically unavailable, but it's definitely worth checking out if you're a Skype user. One catch, though: Skype for iPhone is "free for a limited time," so you may not want to get too used to it just yet. Hopefully we'll see an official Skype app someday, but for now, Skype for iPhone should tide you over.

How a television series ends may color how viewers feel about that series as a whole. All too often, a series is canceled without notice, and many loose ends are left untied. Sometimes, the series writers know the end is coming, and have chosen how to tell that final story before shuffling off that mortal coil. Even in such cases, the last story may not be to everyone's liking, and possibly won't give viewers the closure they feel the characters deserve. But what if writers had another chance to give a series a better sendoff?
In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Patrick Devlin and Brandi Jackola return to the Writers' Room to pen an Enterprise feature-length movie. We discuss pandemonium, bad intel, random Vulcan captains, huge fan service, stunt casting, and how the Enterprise is great at going to random planets.

Foley: McKinney should leave governor's race, endorse him
New London — Gubernatorial candidate and Greenwich businessman Tom Foley said he appreciates the endorsements from former Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele, who ran against him in 2010, and Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, who has bowed out of the 2014 gubernatorial race, and expects state Sen. John McKinney of Fairfield, a fellow Republican also running for governor, to follow suit.
"I think the right thing for John to do is to drop out of the race and endorse me, and I hope he does it," Foley said to The Day's editorial board on Wednesday. "John is a good guy, he has a political future, but I think to run in this primary and to lose, which I think is what will happen, doesn't make sense for him. And to be taking on a Republican candidate who came as close as I did in 2010, is likely to win the primary and also has a very good shot of winning in November, I think is a mistake."
McKinney's political future could turn out similar to Fedele's, he said.
Foley said he thought Fedele "damaged himself politically" and lost the Stamford mayoral election in 2013 because of his behavior in the 2010 gubernatorial primary.
During The Day's editorial board meeting, Foley discussed his views on union contracts, pensions and state budgets, which differ from McKinney's. In light of a state budget that grew 2.5 percent this year compared to last year, looming long-term debt - about $64.6 billion - and slow economic recovery, Foley outlined plans for economic growth and government accountability.
In contrast to his opponent McKinney, Foley has said he would not attempt to open state employees' pension and health insurance benefits contracts, which have a $44 billion funding gap.
Neither he nor McKinney could unilaterally force the contract to be opened because the unions and the state would have to decide to open the contract, he said.
The state employees' contract for pensions and health insurance benefits is in place until 2022 and most state employees' contracts for wages and working conditions are in place through 2016, according to an Office of Legislative Research report. State employees are protected from layoffs until June 30, 2015.
"Many times when the wage contract is negotiated the union agrees to incorporate a new agreement on benefits as part of that," Foley said. "So if they wanted to include a reopening of that contract as part of negotiating a wage contract, I would certainly be open to that."
Contributions the state is required to make to state employees' pensions will reach $2.5 billion in 2032. In order to address the growing pension costs, Foley said he wouldn't be increasing taxes as Gov. Dannel P. Malloy did in 2011, but he would examine how much the state spends on health care services for state employees and retirees and on Medicaid.
"I am not talking about changing benefits, but I am talking about if you have a heart attack and you go to the hospital here in New London, that's probably a $100,000 bill or more, and you know is there a way to make it $80,000," Foley said. "You do that by sitting down with hospitals and other care providers and say, 'How can we work together to reduce the cost of health care services in Connecticut?'"
This approach would free up cash in the state budget for pension obligations and lowering taxes, Foley said.
Foley has said he would hold the $19 billion state budget flat for two years while McKinney has said state spending must be reduced. Foley has said holding the budget flat, which means not increasing spending by about 7 percent based on year-over-year growth assumptions that state agencies make, is cutting spending. Each year state agencies list the amount of money they need to provide services next year based on state law and the services they provide currently. Lawmakers and governors have often not provided the entire amount requested by state departments in annual budgets.
"In a move calculated to prevent Mr. Foley from having to account for real spending reductions, the "flat-fund" proposal uses a Malloy-like gimmick to show savings: he compares this year's actual expenditures to next year's current services and claims a savings," McKinney said in a news release. "But every honest person knows that spending reduction means that you actually spend less this year than you spent last year - not that you spend the same amount as you did last year."
When it comes to economic development policies, Foley said that Malloy has been living in the 1960s.
"Bribing people to keep jobs somewhere is a short-term strategy that doesn't work," he said.
He called the $300 million investment in Jackson Laboratories for 300 jobs over 10 years and the $400 in tax credits for United Technologies Corp. "crazy numbers."
Foley said he would stop the "corporate welfare" that is a burden to taxpayers, would examine and remove regulatory burdens and get rid of the $250 business entity tax for companies with 50 employees or less.
Other ways to reduce taxpayers' burdens would be to make state agencies more productive, not fill positions when state employees leave and hold state workers accountable, Foley said.
Foley said Amistad America, the organization that operates the schooner Amistad, lost its nonprofit status and continued to receive about $400,000 annually even though it couldn't account for $8 million in state funds, is an example of how Connecticut's state government operates.
"This is not just Amistad, this is how our state government has been run, money gets wasted and isn't accounted for and there is very little accountability for people who run the departments of state government," he said.
The solution, he said, was to have good people in key jobs and to make clear to employees that they would not remain in their jobs for long if they were "incompetent."

Google & Mercy Corps Partner to Help Young Palestinian Entrepreneurs (NEWS BRIEF)
(HN, November 29, 2011) - Google and Mercy Corps have formed a partnership to spark technological entrepreneurship among young Palestinians.
In an innovative venture called the Arab Developer Network Initiative (ADNI), the global private sector entity and NGO have come together to tap the "brain trust" of the vast numbers of young people in Gaza and the West Bank.
Says Mercy Corps: "Through a combination of training in technical and business essentials, peer-to-peer learning, mentorship, and an initial seed fund for high potential startups, capitalized at $500,000, ADNI will help build a critical mass of Palestinian youth who are competent in multiple programming platforms and able to create and run successful web-based businesses."
As in much of the Middle East and North Africa, the Palestinian population is young, well-educated, and chronically unemployed. The World Bank reports that at the end of 2010, unemployment among those between the ages of 15-29 was an estimated 26 percent in the West Bank and 53 percent in Gaza - though some reputable sources cite much higher figures of unemployment.
The potential is not lost on Google, which has commited $2 million so far to the territory.
"Palestinians have such a unique position," Gisel Kordestani, Google's director of new business development, told Fast Company. "They're well educated. They have strong English-language skills. With 88 million people in the [Middle East and North African] region getting online, they have the opportunity to build something for the Arab world."
Says Mercy Corps CEO Neal Keny-Guyer: "One of the biggest challenges to economic growth in Gaza and the West Bank is that people can't move freely or easily cross borders. But there's an incredible brain trust of educated young people in the region. Unlike most other industries, web-based businesses are not limited by the physical movement of goods or people. Fuelled by young talent, the tech sector here is just waiting to take off."
The Source of Hope Foundation and Google.org are the main backers of the project.

Three papers laying the foundation for regional CGE models with agglomeration characteristicsTermansen, Lars Brømsøe (Frederiksberg, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper analyses the effects of introducing taxes and regional transfers on the equilibrium properties in a standard Core-Periphery model. A central government levies taxes on production factors and redistributes the revenue to all agents regardless of their location. In the case of Core-Periphery economy this is in effect a re-allocation of agglomeration rents. Simulations show that taxes and transfers alter the Core-Periphery model's properties by moving the Break and Sustain points. The range of freeness of trade with Core-Periphery outcomes is reduced for transfers to the periphery, and increased for transfers to the core. The width of the overlap where the models exhibit hysteresis effects remains the same regardless of the transfers. The analysis reveals that in the Core-Periphery outcome the agglomeration rents can be taxed without exhausting the core's scale effects. The tax revenues can then be redistributed such that periphery regions and the central government have incentives in promoting core regions, which function as industrial locomotives for the whole economy.

Med særligt henblik på grønlandske forholdLund, Lars (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Resource rents and models for taxation of these rents. Some references to the situation for Greenland. After a general introduction to the concept of rents the risk of distortion by double taxation of the normal capital income to investment is explained. Cash flow taxation or deduction in the tax base of investment times the risk free interest rate can be used to avoid this double taxation. Among other instruments to secure a part of rents for the public sector are direct participation and selling rights to exploit the resources by auction. The greater part of the paper is about taxation of rents in fisheries. The regulation is assumed to be based on professional advising and individual transferable quotas. Duties on the quota or a general cost increasing tariff, e. g. on fuel, are administratively simple models for taxation. Cost increasing indirect taxation has the good quality of incentive compatibility, as it supports the effort reducing aim of regulation. A concrete example illustrates a possible taxation of the prawn/shrimp fishery combining a duty on the quota with a tariff levied on the catch. Some comment are given on a recent report on the shrimp fishery (2005), and it is criticised for highlighting the theoretical qualities of Greenland's fisheries policy, but neglecting the regulation and also to which extent incomes derived from quotas end up as income for Greenlandic households.

Raimondos-Møller, Pascalis; Schjelderup, Guttorm; Nielsen, Søren Bo (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We examine how a multinational's choice to centralize or de-centralize its decision structure is affected by country tax differentials. Within a simple model that emphasizes the multiple conflicting roles of transfer prices in MNEs — here, as a strategic pre-commitment device and a tax manipulation instrument —, we show that decentralization is preferred in case of small tax differentials, whereas centralization can be more profitable, when tax differentials are large. In essence, the organizational flexibility of MNEs is triggered by the scope for tax minimization. Our analysis allows for both commitment and non-commitment to transfer prices, and for alternative modes of competition.

Last night at the Paris Theater, Oceana ambassador January Jones hosted a special screening of La Revolution Bleue, presented by La Mer. The film documents the making of Yves Klein's iconic last painting "FC 1" which is going up for auction at Christie's Post War & Contemporary Evening Sale on May 8 and expected to sell for over $30 million. An undisclosed portion of the sale will be donated to Oceana.
January Jones wore a shortened version of an off-the-shoulder peplum dress from Mary Katrantzou's Fall 2012 collection. She paired the look with Sergio Rossi pumps and a high updo.
The Mad Men actress has been working with the ocean conservation group since 2009, and last night was the latest in her series of appearances to raise awareness for the organization. "I'm here primarily because of my love of sharks. It's been a passion of mine for a long time," she said in her remarks during the screening.
But the night wasn't all business: Jones took a moment before the screening to talk about her style sensibility.
"Good shoes and a bag. Jeans. It changes daily. A white men's shirt. Sometimes I like to do something more avant-garde, maybe like tonight. And other times, just sweats."
We had some more questions for her (like, when-oh-when is Betty Draper coming back to Mad Men?) but a pair of belligerent papparazzi disrupted press interviews.
"I'm on a public street you stupid little…bloggers or whatever," said the lady photographer when someone asked them to move. A secruity guard came over and placed his hand over her camera lens to block her shots.
"Call the cops," her partner yelled as she wailed nearby. "Why are you touching a woman like that? Don't touch a woman like that. It's inappropriate!"
By this point, no one was paying any attention to January Jones. When we looked back, she had fled the scene.

Northern Ireland's Euro 2016 opponents have been told by Gareth McAuley that Michael O'Neill's men will spring a few surprises in France.
World Cup holders Germany, Poland and Ukraine are in Group C alongside Northern Ireland, who have been handed a difficult draw in their first major tournament since the 1986 World Cup.
O'Neill's side equalled an all-time record when stretching their unbeaten streak to nine games against Wales on Thursday, yet the odds of them progressing to the knock-out stages this summer are considerable because of the calibre of players they will face.
However, 36-year-old defender McAuley is not fazed by the likes of Thomas Muller, Robert Lewandowski and Andriy Yarmolenko and insists O'Neill is hatching tactics that will ensure they can bank on the element of surprise.
"You say the group's daunting, I'd say we have a good chance of getting something out of it, without getting ahead of ourselves," said the West Brom man. "But, with Michael's plan, we could surprise a few.
"We'll have different things that we'll use and we will surprise these teams as well. Things we've practised, but not yet used in the campaign, so I think these teams will be wary of us.
"Obviously we have to deal with the occasion and focus on the job, but judging by the ticket sales we'll be taking half the country with us, so it will be an incredible experience and we'll run ourselves into the ground for everyone."
McAuley is one of a handful of Northern Irish players, along with the likes of skipper Steven Davis and defensive colleagues Jonny Evans and Craig Cathcart, who ply their trade in English football's top flight.
Earlier this month McAuley became the oldest outfield player to appear for West Brom in the Premier League era and Baggies boss Tony Pulis revealed the midlands club are in discussions with him about extending the 12-month contract he penned last summer.
"Hopefully things will be sorted and that can be put away before the summer," McAuley added.
"I feel good in the games and touch wood that continues. I'm happy to take it a year at a time, people say your legs go but I wonder if your desire goes before your legs.
"If you want to carry on doing it, you'll do it. I still want to do it so I'll do it, that's the way I look at it."

This is what we now know about weight management.
1. A calorie is most certainly not a calorie.
2. Fat cells like to stay fat.
3. Genetics can influence success at dieting. We can identify genes to determine if you would have better success on a food plan that's low-carbohydrate or low-fat or both. And, several other important behavior traits such as snacking, hunger, satiety (feeling full), eating disinhibition, food desire, and sweet tooth.
4. There are people who are skinny fat — skinny on the outside, but fat on the inside.
5. There is no such thing as willpower (see genetics above).
6. Eating behavior traits impact weight loss (see genetics above).
7. Not everyone needs to exercise for weight management.
8. Being sedentary puts on weight.
If you are one of the many individuals who have been on and off diets with success followed by weight gain (often referred to as yo-yo dieters), I strongly suggest that you get a weight management genetic test done. The results can be an invaluable tool to you and your nutrition practitioner in making an achievable food plan.

Madame.Figaro-France As the fourth chapter of Twilight is coming out this week, marking the beginning of the end of the saga, its hero grants us an interview, conducted by his most passionate fans (Teenagers from 11 to 16 years old). Here are the secrets of a huge star.
That day, about forty fans of the Twilight saga are waiting at the back of the Park Hyatt Vendôme hotel, convinced that their idol, Robert Pattinson, will leave by the back entrance. Nothing is less certain : the actor, situated in room 430, is doing a big amount of interviews to talk about the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 by Bill Condon (Summit programmed the second part for the end of 2012)
In this movie, awaited by milions of people, Edward finally gives up his puritan ways and tie the knot with Bella (Kristen Stewart), who, before the wedding, had a scary nightmare. Robert Pattinson asks for a coffee and looks at us shyly. The questions we want to ask him have been submitted by teenagers. Something that amuses him and relaxes him at the same time.
Eva (13 yo) - With each movie, there's a new director, how did you meet Bill Condon?
Robert Pattison - He first had lunch with Kristen and it was very serious. Then, he came to my house, we ate some pizzas and drank about 12 beers. Eva, keep that to yourself. Then, we talked about the script that is kind of twisted. It seemed similar to "Rosemary's Baby". I get married to Bella, just like in a romantic comedy, she ends up pregnant with a baby that grows really fast, as in a horror movie, and Jacob falls in love with the child, as.. in nothing else actually. Stephenie Meyer, the author is mormon. But this time, with Bella, we finally do IT. Bill Condon has the reputation of a very lovely guy. All I can tell you is that.. he really deserves it.
What was the most difficult thing for you on set?
Breaking Dawn is, before anything else, Bella's story. Edward is extremely passive in it : The extreme rapidity of the events is beyond him. I'm probably going to disappoint you but the majority of my work was, for this movie, standing and waiting in the same room for two months in front of a green screen.
How do you play a vampire?
We put gloss on our lips, we wear red contact lenses and white makeup on our faces. Seriously though, to me, Edward was never a vampire, even if he's 110 years old. He's more like this pale, reserved, tortured, teenager, who, along with Bella, go through a lot of things. They help him grow and they helped me as well.
Theo (15 yo) - What were you like at our age?
Robert Pattinson - From 13 to 16, ambition was consuming me, but I was pretty lazy. A typical teenager. At 17, I calmed down and I started to do my.. homework again. At this time, I read Bel Ami by Maupassant, and I found this novel very well written and really funny. When I learned, years later, that a filmmaker named Declam Donnellan was planning to shoot the movie, I raised my finger to say "Hey, oh! I'm here, so think about me a little, guys"
Were you sometimes afraid that Edward would keep you away from playing in other movies?
Every actor, including those who get a recurring role in a saga, have the fear of ending up like the character of Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. There's so much competition in Hollywood. Everyone wants to do something new but this "something new", the system doesn't necessarily gives you the chance to do it.
Have you had to learn to escape the paparazzi?
They're in some way, the definition of annoyance. Around you, people are asking "Why don't you settle down, away from everything, somewhere in the countryside?" Because I've always lived in the city and that I don't want to. Everything is even more complicated now because of Twitter. Today, everyone can become a paparazzi. I barely have five minutes before fans assemble in front of Starbucks if I stop for a coffee, if indeed I even go there in the first place.
Marie - You just shot a movie with David Cronenberg, my parents told me it was a good thing, can you explain to me why?
Robert Pattinson - The film is called Cosmopolis (A novel by Don DeLillo), and I play the role of a golden-boy, stuck in his limousine in New York while the economy, in other words, the world is falling apart. David Cronenberg is a famous director who, despite the pressure from studios, doesn't let anyone dictate him. If he wants to do one take, he only does one and the day is over.. after 15 minutes. Half of the team was french and I met a stunning actor on set : Mathieu Amalric. He plays a guy that targets celebrities or bankers and throw cakes right in their faces. He considers his actions as political. Mathieu has a six-minute-long scene where he's talking to himself in the middle of the street. I still can't believe it.
Would you like to work in France?
Yes, with the director of 'A Prophet', Jacques Audiard. I also wanted to meet Daniel Auteuil one day, he was stunning in the movie Le Deuxième Souffle (A movie by Alain Corneau). Of course, for that, I'd need to improve my French, and since you probably learn grammar, you can imagine how difficult it would be for an Englishman like me."

I've already read the post way back (on their site) and I know that there's more, but is there really all that much left to be explained in a 3rd season? I know FMP1 is based off the first manga and Fumoffu is based off the 2nd, chibi one, but I think the major premises were covered in the novels, and I belive the scope of the anime dealt mainly with Souske and the Arbalest, not with the Whispered in depth...
Not to say I wouldn't mind a season 3. Currently FMP! is my fav mecha (if u can really consider it that) anime.
For me, the challenge was trying to decide who was cuter, Chidori or Tessa...

I heard a few rumours about a third series of FMP! a while back.
I haven't seen any definite information about if/when the third series will air.
It seems unlikely that the season aired in Jan. There would have been some more concrete info.
Is there an official site for the entire FMP! scope (Mangas and Series), in English preferably?
If there is a thrid series of FMP! its likely to be more like the original series (let's hope there's some more mecha ).
Other than that, we'll just have to wait and see what comes up.

I don't see that happening anytime soon because there's not much left to cover. FMP season 1 + FMP Fumoffu pretty much went over all the full-length novels and the short stories published in Dragon Magazine(with the exception of one or two short side stories and the last full-length novel). Anything left over was pretty much covered in the manga(from what I saw in vol1~5).
Our only hope is if the studio will do a 13 eps TV or 4~5ep OVA for the last full-length novel if the demand is there.

A pioneering £10m university college to create a pool of talent for businesses is being proposed for Scarborough.
The new-style University Technical College (UTC) would cater primarily for 14-18 year-olds with a mix of scientific, technology, engineering, robotics and maths-based careers.
Seventeen career-based UTCs have already been set up across the country supported by the government's Education Funding Agency and involving local authorities and business groups, with another 30 being proposed.
The university college would offer new educational options for pupils currently attending Scarborough's secondary schools, Yorkshire Coast College and the Sixth Form. Discussions are being held with the schools and the borough council about the impact and benefits.
Among the sites being considered as a possible base for the business-led curriculum include the Hull University Scarborough campus at Filey Road, and the former Skipton Building Society offices near the 80-acre business park.
The UTC would look to take pupils from Scarborough, Whitby, Ryedale and East Yorkshire.
The Scarborough News has revealed that the campus has 600 fewer students than two years ago and is facing a review.
The UTC concept has been initiated by the Scarborough Business Ambassadors' Forum is behind the idea, which has organised Engineering Week in the town for the past five years and which last year attracted 2,700 pupils.
Peter Wilkinson, chairman of the Ambassadors, was asked by Lord Baker, the former Education Secretary under PM Margaret Thatcher, who now runs the Baker Deering Education Trust, to help initiate the proposal.
Lord Baker is speaking at a business dinner organised by the Ambassadors in Scarborough, on February 27 and is expected to back the idea of "skills more than schools" and teenage learning that is more geared to practical knowledge for those who wish to attend.
Another speaker will be Colin the head of design at BAE Systems who helped to design the Airbus 8350.
Mr Wilkinson, director of Unison, said: "There is evidently a clear need for types of education better suited to the needs of Scarborough and other parts of the region for more practical, useful, vocational choices backed by higher, pragmatic educational and specialist support.
"A UTC would shift the focus more specifically to the objects of science, technology and engineering, in addition to other A-level courses including English and maths, and life-skills.
"The needs of teenagers and local business, as well as the country and its manufacturing and creative engineering industries, require more than is currently on offer and produced from schools and colleges."
He added: "A Scarborough UTC would cater for hundreds and over the years thousands of young people, transforming their lives and their employment prospects is an exciting, radical and innovative technical college."
On graduating, its students would go straight into the world of work, apprenticeship or university. It would be run by a new board including business representatives, to be set up with a principal.
No pre-entry qualifications are required, and a start-up pot of £300,000 would come from the Education Funding Agency, which distributes government funding for teenagers in full-time education.
It could be up and running by September 2016, with hundreds of pupils from Scarborough borough to the north of Whitby, East Yorkshire towns such as Bridlington and Driffield, and Ryedale and York areas. It aims to have 600 pupils initially, then rising to 800 and beyond.
There are no fees to be paid by the students.
There would be a 40-week term, with a longer tuition day than has been the case at some schools in recent years, from 8.30am to 5pm. Subjects such as GCSE English and maths would be taught in the morning, and science and engineering in the afternoon.
From the age of 16, they would need to sit at least two A levels or a UTC Technical Baccalaureate.
The students would be expected to wear 'business dress' and the teachers and lecturers would include staff experienced in engineering and manufacturing.
First Group, which runs rail services to Scarborough, would subsidise the cost of train travel for students attending the Scarborough UTC.
Mr Wilkinson said: "The concept has been overwhelmingly welcomed by Scarborough's leading businesses, particularly its engineering sector exporters, such as Ward Atlas of Sherburn which supplied the metal infrastructure for the Shard, the tallest building in the UK, as well as Unison, the specialists who have just secured a £1m contract with the US Navy, coachbuilder Plaxton, Bluebird Vehicles and others including York Mailing, which took over the collapsed Pindar company, and McCain.
"Without doubt there needs to be a provision Scarborough and district for a higher education, ensuring that the area has a future pool of talent for business in the area from a more focussed type of academy."
This would provide engineering and manufacturing companies with talented, informed, capable young people with more useful and practical skillsets, he added.
He said: "We need to do this to establish a bright, more secure economic Scarborough."
Companies behind such ventures as the potash mine Sirius Minerals, and offshore wind farm developments, would also need expertise, said Mr Wilkinson.
"Scarborough could be a training ground for engineering and scientific skills. Engineering and manufacturing have a passionate need for young people. We are not meeting the needs currently."
He said the business supporting the UTC venture would also being adding funds to the concept, creating a limited company called Scarborough UTC.
"There are 3,000 new homes being planned for Scarborough which will place more pressure on schools and the UTC provides an extra educational platform for which there is a clear necessity."

By Steve Persall
Times Movie Critic
As a better movie taught us before, a magic trick has three stages, two of which The Incredible Burt Wonderstone executes well.
There's the pledge, an ordinary object that will be transformed into something extraordinary in stage two, the turn. Then there's the prestige, the third stage when something completely unexpected and incredible happens. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone does take a nice mid-trick turn and displays prestige in its finale. But the pledge, the setup, is all wrong and for the first half hour so is the comedy.
Now you laugh at it, now you don't.
The failed pledge in this movie is Steve Carell, who ordinarily seems like a nice guy even when he's playing insufferably dopey on The Office, or insufferably insecure in Little Miss Sunshine. Carell plays Burt Wonderstone, a Las Vegas magician who is just plain insufferable for the first third of Don Scardino's movie. Burt is a sexist pig, a preening prima donna despite his stage partner since childhood, Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi, who isn't suited to such silliness).
Burt is not a nice guy or, as it turns out a funny character until he's humbled and Carell's innate charm as an actor is allowed to emerge. Burt and Anton are on top of the magic biz until they're not, when the act splits up from sheer fear that their feats of prestidigitation are now obsolete. The reason for this feeling is the movie's turn, an infusion of comic genius so long unseen in movies that it was practically forgotten.
The genius is Jim Carrey, dropping the serious actor pose and again letting loose the rubber face and implausible physicality that made him a star. Carrey plays Steve Gray, a bull's-eye spoof of David Blaine and Criss Angel's brand of masochistic magic. Steve is a performer who'll endure three days of not blinking or 12 days without urinating and call it a mystical breach of reality. Audiences eat it up; Burt and Anton barf it back.
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone then doubles down on the wacky humor Carell and Buscemi don't have written for them. The irrepressible, irreplaceable Alan Arkin shows up as the old-school magician whose home tricks kit started Burt and Anton on the road to success and less. I will go to my grave declaring any movie will be better if Arkin appears in it, and hold up this one as proof.
The professional rivalry between Burt and Anton, and theirs with Steve, finally gains traction as the finish line appears. The third act of Scardino's movie is very funny, and its finale featuring the exposure of an impossibly successful illusion is flat-out brilliant. It's just too bad that the movie's opening act is so sleight of humor, damaging the movie's potential. Now you see it. Then you don't.

Chili isn't at the top of the "naturally glamorous cuisine" list. The process of letting ingredients stew in a pot for several hours does wonders to the flavors, but often takes a toll on the dish's visual appeal. Save for a rogue carrot or bright pepper emerging from the depths, chili typically has a ruddy brown tinge, thanks to the melange of spices, meat and beans swimming in the pot. Delicious, but not sexy. Colorful garnishes become essential for glam (yes, that chopped cilantro and grated pepper jack crowning your bowl are as much for visual interest as they are for flavor). Vessels are important too: something light and neutral (a white or cream) will best contrast a dark chili and help balance its bulk.
These three FOOD52ers have worked the angles to capture chili at its best. Focused, well-lit and thoughtfully composed, their shots are a testament to the fact that a bowl of chili can look as good as it tastes.
In her shot of Holy Mole Chicken Chili, fiveandspice takes an overhead approach, capturing the details of her dish through a layering of concentric circles. The guac-dollopped chili forms the rich center, highlighted by the white halo of the bowl holding it. A patterned green dish forms the final ring, complementing the ruddy chili and giving a delicate flair to its chunkiness. fiveandspice positions the bowl in the lower two-thirds of the frame which gives her room to include interesting elements of action -- surrounding crumbs and a spoon peeking in from above.
MyFareFoodie's shot of Chrissy's Best Chili Ever succeeds through its cropped composition and attention to textures. The bowl creeps in from the upper right, a close-up view with the bowl partially outside of the frame -- evidence that sometimes just a quarter of the subject is enough to make the shot work. MyFareFoodie skillfully employs the negative space around the bowl through a layering of textures that leads the eye to the chili itself. The neutral-toned wood, cloth and silver support, rather than distract from the bright red chili and its garnishes. Natural daylight cloaks the scene with vividness.
cristinasciarra demonstrates that when positioned the right way, even a messy bowl of chili can look great. Her Research Chili aftershot is focused, natural and presented just the way we'd like to eat it (spoon plunged and cheese melting). The wood-grain background gives interest to the negative space without distracting from the exciting things happening in the bowl (and the overhead angle practically begs us to dive in). The natural lighting here is key -- the chili wouldn't look nearly as appetizing if it was shot in a fluorescent glow.
cristinasciarra's before shot (below) makes a nice foil to the imperfections in her aftershot. Centered and slightly cropped, the details are sharp and perfectly composed. The bowl practically floats atop the striped background, the yellow providing a bright color complement to the chili.
See what other Food52 readers are saying.

Anyone who has remained in power for longer than many people remain alive — even if that power is far more symbolic than practical — is worth paying attention to. And when it comes to England's Elizabeth II, paying attention is something the world has been doing for a long, long time.
"Her current Majesty," TIME's Belinda Luscombe once noted, "is very likely the most portrayed woman on the planet. Billions of stamps, millions of coins and notes and hundreds of thousands of postcards bear her likeness. Her face, especially in profile, is recognized in every English-speaking land and is ubiquitous in several. Hers is not the exotic, come-hither face of a Marilyn or an Angelina. It's the face of distant historic authority, a literal figurehead, having no real power but oodles of symbolic supremacy."
[Buy the LIFE book, The Royal Baby.]
Here, LIFE.com offers a series of informal portraits of the Queen, including several that never ran in the magazine. And while some of these images do convey "oodles of symbolic supremacy," it's also worth noting that, in at least a few of these shots, there's also a flicker of something that one hardly ever associates with Elizabeth: namely, a quite self-aware and yet wry sense of fun.
Now that's something to celebrate.

OAKLAND — A parolee who authorities said violently fought a police captain who saw him discard an assault rifle was charged Monday with possession of an assault weapon and battery on a police officer.
Dantjuan McElroy, 30, who gave an address in North Highlands in Sacramento County but who has links to Oakland, will be arraigned on the charges Tuesday. McElroy, who is on parole for driving under the influence, is being held without bail.
The confrontation Saturday between McElroy and Capt. Ersie Joyner III, began about 7 p.m. Joyner, a patrol commander who knows McElroy from prior cases, was alone on patrol when he saw a Mercedes-Benz make a U-turn in front of him in the 8700 block of International Boulevard. The car was similar to one involved in a robbery and some police pursuits.
Joyner followed the car which stopped at 91st Avenue and B Street where McElroy, the passenger, got out and ran.
Joyner said he could see the wooden handle of a gun sticking out of McElroy's pants. Joyner radioed for help and began following McElroy first in his car and eventually on foot. McElroy ran onto 90th Avenue where Joyner said he saw him throw the gun into a backyard.
Joyner attempted to arrest McElroy at that time but he ran off again, dropping a bag of marijuana on the way. Joyner chased him to the 9100 block of D Street where McElroy said he was going to fight him.
Joyner, who had no Taser, began exchanging punches with McElroy for several minutes before a cover officer finally arrived and used his Taser on McElroy who fell to the pavement and was eventually handcuffed.
The unloaded assault rifle, similar in appearance to a submachine gun which fires .45 caliber bullets, was found in the yard.
Police are still seeking the Mercedes-Benz and the driver. Anyone with information can call police at 510-238-3326.

As TTW readers may know, I write a lot about the power and potential of blogging in our profession. My dissertation "Modeling the Role of Blogging in Librarianship" examined the motivations of early adopting bibliobloggers while my work with ALA Library Technology reports offered the hows and whys for blogging libraries. I recently got a review copy of Library Blogging by Karen Coombs and Jason Griffey. I must say it fits the bill as a perfect "How to" guide for librarians from two practitioners and bloggers that's up to date and pretty darn inclusive.
The opening chapters give the lay of the blogging land and highlight what libraries have done with blogs. It's a good overview and is rather timely with the examples shared. Because technology, including blog software and CMSs, moves so fast, it's hard to capture anything in book form that seems current. The companion Web site helps this by including fresh new examples. WordPress.com is explored at length (great for my purposes). I did find the coverage of Movable Type to be surprising, but maybe libraries are still using the platform?
After a detailed section exploring blog software and RSS at a most granular level, the final chapters of the book are the most important to me: what are the implications and uses for blogging?The authors offer some wonderful "thinking out loud" pieces to ponder. What does it mean to participate in "blog culture." How do we follow the Blogger's Code of Conduct? What policies and procedures enable successful blogs?
The last chapter is called "Future Possibilities." The authors explore what we might do with free software such as WordPress? In my mind, there's no limit where our imaginations might take us with some of these tools. Coombs and Griffey key in on this with brief explorations and thoughts of newer blogging tools beyond just library examples to the realm of archives, collections and community.
If you are starting a blogging project in your library or teaching blogging, I'd recommend this one for sure as an up to date choice. I'll be using it as a classroom resource in my teaching.
For more, visit http://libraryblogging.com/ and add the feed to keep up with additions to the examples used in the book.

Steve Popovich, Bill Johnson: Passion, Fight, Creativity + Rock & Roll Dreams
Steve Popovich, Bill Johnson
Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through
I'm in a shitty hotel room, chattering and chilled to the bone. I've driven all day, and it doesn't even matter. Sometimes you do what you have to do - even when it doesn't make sense to the people that know you.
It's not irrational. I know exactly why I'm here -- shivering, waiting for the heat to actually kick in. And it's not just the funeral for an iconoclast with a huge heart and bigger balls, even though that's why I'm here.
It is about the world in which we live, the vineyard in which I've toiled going on thirty years. It's the way I spent my life and the beliefs I've held. Especially at a time when doing the right thing, fighting for greatness, believing the music matters is at best quaint, but most likely is viewed - no matter what "they" say - as chump stuff.
Steve Popovich, who passed away Jun 8th in Murfreesboro, TN, would disagree. He'd tell you to fight for what's right, to stand up for what's different, believe in the music, not the business or the politics or the egos… to know great, no matter the guise, and make sure it gets heard.
Steve Popovich was that kind of guy. That's how he lived… right til he died.
That kinda guy… big, bottomless heart. True believer. Fearless advocate for what he believed. Tireless in pursuit of great music - be it progressive polka bands like Brave Combo or Michael Jackson, Boston or David Allen Coe. When Meatloaf sold 200,000 copies of his first album and Epic Records informed him they'd done all they could do, Popovich went market-by-market and created a sensation, making Bat Out of Hell the biggest selling record that year.
That's the thing about true hearts and big dreams… they don't let go. They'll haunt you. Take hold and keep holding. Rarer than rubies, when you encounter one, you never forget. They will make you do things you can't believe you're doing…
Like driving 10 hours dead exhausted at the end of a record launch and an Oscar winner on a red carpet… to sit in a church where I know barely anyone… to honor a legacy so many would never understand. Because it's just not done that way. Not any more. Not to the point where people even understand why it matters.
And yet, if you know, experienced, saw or even glimpsed Steve Popovich in action, there was no way you could turn away. How could you? To see passion, raw and unfiltered, 250 proof and looking for matches… that was the kind of thing that left people speechless.
Only Steve Popovich would never settle for that. He wouldn't let people stand by mute. He'd cajole and engage and encourage. He wanted you to know… for sure… but he wanted to know. All about you. And every single you in the room, the street, the world. What did you think? need? feel? what makes you thrill? ache? rage?
He was genius at it.
Which is what made him the kind of promo man who can change everything for a rocker, a songwriter, a band
Which is what made him the kind of A&R man who could convince a barely post-teenage Michael Jackson to sign with Epic Records.
Which made him the kind of guy who picked up Johnny Cash and polka king Frankie Yankovic during his Nashville tenure and let them feel like kings, not scraps in a record business that seemed to have thrown them away.
That was the thing about the coal miner's son from Western Pennsylvania, he not only knew the margins, he understood them. Just like he understood the working class, the blue collar, the faceless mass that one by one added up to platinum, double platinum - or in the case of a husky operatic tenor with designs on rock & roll, 14 million in the end.
That was the thing about Steve Popovich - as Meatloaf, that 14 million piece success, so beautifully noted as he eschewed the podium to stand by the white draped casket at St John of the Cross: "Steve passed on us twice, but he never dismissed us."
Steve Popovich wouldn't. Indeed, couldn't. If he hid behind the notion he was just "some Hunkie," he understood the power of passion. Knew that if you had talent fueled by that ardor, there was nothing you couldn't do… you just had to believe and refuse to give up.
No matter how crazy or futile it seemed. As industry legend Ron Alexenburg noted, Steve Popovich carried Meatloaf's flame for almost a year - one market at a time - until Bat Out of Hell kicked in. In his tenacity, he wouldn't give in. In his faith, a superstar was forged.
Someone spoke of his denial, how it kept him from embracing how mighty his opponents were… and how that allowed him to persevere. They talked of how every day the business broke his heart, but every morning, he woke up happy, willing to believe in the power of dreams and music.
He took on - and beat in court - Sony Music, a behemoth multi-national corporation. Never one to be intimidated, he knew his truth - and he wouldn't be brow-beaten or condescended to by a group of Harvard-educated attorneys.
He was Don Quixote, tilting at windmills. Only Steve Popovich helped so many people get their hands on the brass ring… built bridges when it wasn't happening… created chances where anyone else would've laughed. Boston, Southside Johnny, the Michael Stanley Band.
He believed in people who believed in their music, who had the fire and weren't afraid to blow on the flame until it burst into some kind of blaze. Even the Michael Stanley Band - whose seminal Stagepass is reputed to have sold gold on Northern Ohio copies alone - turned into a powerhouse of mythic Midwestern proportion: selling out the Richfield Coliseum for two nights faster than Led Zeppelin, staging multiple SRO night stands at the outdoor amphitheatre Blossom Music Center and retiring with a ten night capacity stand at the more dignified Front Row.
Two out of three of those places are gone. Blossom, summer home to the Cleveland Symphony, has a few other reasons to survive. But all those altars to what music can mean to kids coming of age in the real world before reality tv, leaked home porn and trainwreck drug use could make anyone a sensation… That was the thing that Steve Popovich instinctively knew and absolutely built a life on.
And so the tributes came: Clive Davis. Miami Steve Van Zandt, Ian Hunter. Meatloaf in person, and 80s teen sensation Robbie Benson. Record men, local ethnic people he'd embraced, national level radio bigwigs, co-workers from back when, Northern Ohio icons like Daffy Dan and Beachland Ballroom owner Cindy Barber, dignitaries from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Congressman Dennis Kucinich and family. Especially family.
If Steve Popovich loved music, he stood for family. How many of the speakers called him "Pops," and that was how the larger - literally and figuratively - than life figure liked it. He believed in his kids, his grandkids, other people hanging onto their roots and their blood.
He was fierce about that, fierce the way only a Midwesterner who believed in certain kinds of sanctity can be. That notion of how strong family is gives them a foundation to dig in and fight, to believe in loyalty, commitment and making something more where nothing exists. But it's never nothing - there is always the invisible connection that is family, friendship, creativity, respect.
Funny thing about this death. Came just when I'm drifting. Not sure if any of it matters, if people care about songs that reach down inside, show you what you didn't know you were feeling, reminded you how great something small can be. Things that last, because they're things that can be cemented by small groups of people.
It's been a long time since I've truly worked a record. But a promise made three years ago has found me guardian angel-ing The Dreaming Fields by Songwriter Hall of Famer Matraca Berg. It's a grown up work about how life buckles and stumbles, the things we do to survive, coping with disappointment and soldiering on. It harkens back to Neil Young's most organic records, Joni Mitchell's more brooding, personal works.
The journalists are overwhelmed. Too much grunt work, not enough inspiration. Little records that could - especially ones that don't come on their own wave of critical mass - are impossible dreams. Every placement just about is hand-over-hand, phone-call-after-phone call.
But the record is --- in a world where hyperbole has become the new white noise and platitudes land like so many leaves in the fall, weightless and anonymous - amazing. Once people hear it, they're transfixed; their souls open and they remember how music can change everything.
The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, Rolling Stone The Boston Herald, The Dallas Morning News, The Huffington Post, No Depression.com and NPR's All Things Considered are the tip of the iceberg. There is more to come… and there is SIRIUS/Xm, too.
Popovich would approve. The calling and witnessing for love, not money, friendship, not career move. But it's labor intensive, and who works like that anymore? Why would you? And with every placement so hard won, how long can you keep it up? How many hits until some kind of word of mouth critical mass kicks in?
At what point does the dreamer become a fool?
At what point does forgoing one's life in the name of someone else's dream seem lunacy not heroism?
At what point do you realize the loyalty you show may not be the loyalty returned?
Michael Stanley, a Popovich windmill, would write a song called "Different Reasons" that contains a lyric that speaks to it all:
"You can always tell a dreamer,
"You just can't tell them,
"tell them anything…"
And so it is. A girl an ocean away, fixing to play the legendary Glastonbury Festival. Her oldest friend, sitting in a church pew, wondering how everything that mattered got lost in the flood. A roomful of folks who know the difference feeling cuckholded by the status quo.
But once you know, how can you not know?
How can you honor Steve Popovich and accept the diminishing of what can be?
You don't. Indeed, you can't.
It is three days later. I am in a progressive bistro near Case Western Reserve University, near Hessler Street and all the museums, the symphony hall; I'd come here after the funeral, to think and drink and escape - and I have returned to finish this.
In 48 hours, much has happened.
A 3:30 rise for a flight to Nashville to drive 500 miles to Savannah, Georgia to get out of the car and interview Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks about their band. To make sense of my notes, to watch the show - and musicians engaging in webs of soul, of funk, of jazz, even as they grounded in a gritty blues-steeped rock.
They were exultant. The horns and the singers, the twin drummers, the bass player who plays like the best chocolate cake, creamy and dark and sweet and moist, a keyboardist who evokes and steams the songs and Trucks' liquid solos that are mercury and ether, melodic without being complex to the point of constriction.
And Tedeschi sings like breathing, soul exhalations of doubt and need and desire.
It is a holy thing, and they have forged a family out there. Not just with the kids and the parents on the road, but the whole 11 man band and crew. It is what the Allmans might've been long ago without the drugs and the drama, but regal and engaged.
Popovich would've got it, liked it. Family hanging together, making it work, creating something sultry, satisfying and stirring. The very best of what can be.
And then back awake, scanning the radio, driving I-16 to I-75 to I-24. Five hundred miles with two bursts of hail, to pay some bills, wash some clothes and go to the airport again.
Somewhere in the blur of a 1000 miles in 24 hours, more news arrived. Bill Johnson, the twice Grammy-winning art director from Sony Nashville, a visionary Rolling Stone Art Director responsible for too many iconic pictures - including Patti Smith smudged with soot between two burning oil barrels, has passed on as well.
Another wild creative, bon vivant, curator of love and people, a believer that the pictures had to be as potent as the music. A charming smile, a fearless sense of finding more in the crassest product.
He was a genius, a smart ass, a mutterer, grumpy and excited. Mostly, though, he was the keeper of one of the greatest loves I've ever seen: he and his wife Cynda burned with attraction and appreciation, grace and possibilities. To see them was to know what love is.
What love is…
For the music, for the family, for each other. It is the currency on which everything that matters runs. Hotter, faster, deeper, more… yeah, whatever.
Sitting shell-shocked with a French press of coffee, in a town where my values were defined, I can only wonder about how things that matter have become so transitory. I know that you can't force others to know the difference, but you can expose them and hope they recognize the gap.
Steve Popovich did. So did Bill Johnson. They got it. And they believed it was worth fighting for. You could say it was a different time, and it was. But if their lives truly marked us, then how do you walk away when you know?
Somewhere in the clouds that have just dumped an hour of solid rain on this slate patio beyond a picture window, I can see him in sweat pants and baggy baseball jacket laughing, thinking "Yeah, she's got it."
Not because he wants to be right, but because he wants people to remember… Remember the reasons why, the things that last, not even what he did. What he did is written in the books, how he lived can live on if we just refuse to accept the erosion and status quo.
Know the difference, raise the flag. Be the standards you know, not the getting by, plastic injection-molded faux soul, pseudo-emotion pap that passes. It can be fomented via Twitter, youtube, Pandora and the rest, but it ain't built to last.
Watching the sun come out, I consider what I know… and how strong I might be.
While world jazz plays on the sound system, I hear a searing voice. Ronnie Dunn's power exhortation, from the chilling kid grows up country-gospel witness "I Believe."
"And you can't tell me all this ends/
"With a long ride in a hearse…"
Surely, no. Surely, no. If we live to believe we're leaving something behind, then consider the lives that have touched your's, and believe. Sad as I am, raw as I will be for a while, I do. And that, in this puddle of pain, is a pretty great truth to hang onto.

WASHINGTON, March 25 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide whether Michigan or any state can ban race- or sex-based preference in government actions.
The case focuses on university admissions, but is much broader.
In the November 2006 election, 58 percent of Michigan's voters approved a proposal that amended the state constitution. The amendment banned discrimination, or the granting of preferential treatment, in public education, government contracting and public employment based on race, sex, ethnicity or national origin.
Almost immediately following the election, a group of plaintiffs led by the Coalition to Defend Affirmative
Action filed suit challenging the constitutionality of the amendment.
Eventually the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled 8-7 that the law violated the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution.
In asking for U.S. Supreme Court review, the state said: "Michigan recognizes that affirmative action has long been controversial; some state entities use it for some programs, some do not. But until now, no court has ever held that, apart from remedying specific past discrimination, a government must engage in affirmative action. This [Supreme] Court has said just the opposite, holding that all racial classification by government entities [is] presumptively invalid and subject to the strictest scrutiny."
Justice Elena Kagan, who was U.S. solicitor general before reaching the high court in August 2010, did not participate in accepting the case.
Argument in the case should be heard next term.

Expo '09: Company
Company is back and ready to head into year two of existence within the wakeboarding world. Randall Harris and Eddie Valdez were both working the booth early Thursday morning, even before the crowds started walking through. The 2010 line for Company is definitely a step in the right progression. Randall's new Vandall line looks insane, as does Tino's Severance line. The biggest debut might be in the footwear category, as Company's bindings and mounting system are entirely new for the industry. Instead of a baseplate, the binding has a metal track that feeds into screw system on the board. The screw system and track allow the binding to slide forward/backward and rotate to nearly any angle. It's a slick system that's guaranteed to make some riders' feet very happy.

Ah, summer is here and the weather is finally warming up! Although we are all ready for the sunshine after a cold and rainy spring, for many, this beautiful weather – and new blooming foliage - comes with a price: allergies!
Many people suffer with allergies, particularly pollen. Seasonal allergic rhinitis is nasal allergies that changes with the seasons because of pollen from plants (trees, grasses, or weeds). Unfortunately, this type of allergen can be very difficult to avoid, since every time you step out of your house, you are surrounded by the very things that can get your eyes watering, sinuses clogged and lungs wheezing. Your symptoms may get worse at different times throughout the year and in some cases may be constant.
But there are ways to diminish the effects of seasonal allergies on your health:
• Schedule your outdoor activities, including exercise, in the early morning or evening, since this is the time when the pollen count is lowest. Know that pollen counts typically are higher on hot, windy, sunny day compared with a cool day without much wind.
• When indoors, keep windows closed and use the air conditioner to reduce the pollen inside your home.
• If you need to be outdoors, wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from allergens. When you come in, shower and wash your hair so that the pollen is washed off your skin and hair, and doesn't get into your bed linens. Check the dog. Pets can bring in pollen; you might consider rinsing off the dog if he or she was outside in a high-pollen day.
• If you are exposed to pollen, ask your doctor about using a nasal spray to clear your nasal passages. Additionally, ask about over-the-counter preventative allergy medications, which might help relieve your symptoms or block your allergic reaction, these include antihistamines, topical nasal steroids, decongestants and daily Vitamins C help to build your immune system.
For older adults and their caregivers, it is good to keep in mind that as we age, our bodies do not metabolize medications as well as they did when we were younger. Even over-the-counter medications can have longer lasting effects, such as prolonged sleepiness or dryness. It is important to speak with your doctor if you notice unusual or long-lasting side effects to any medication that you or a loved one is taking.
Taking just a few simple steps can alleviate your allergy symptoms and help you enjoy this well-deserved beautiful weather!

Heartstrings Performance
Name: Heartstrings Performance
Date: April 21, 2019
Time: 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM PDT
Website: End of the Oregon Trail
Event Description:
Heartstrings is a Tualatin, Oregon based husband-and-wife duo playing "music for all times" period and historical as well as contemporary. They specialize in costumed performances at 19th Century and Victorian-era interpretive sites. Nancy plays the hammered dulcimer, a unique folk instrument with many courses of strings which, as the name implies, are struck with little wooden hammers. The sound is something like a harpsichord. She also plays violin and some mountain (Appalachian) dulcimer. Rob plays a stand-up string bass and a bit of banjo. Nancy and Rob both play Native American style flutes. Nancy and Rob appear regularly at historical sites in Oregon
