EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — What adjectives are left?
No. 14 Michigan's players used "embarrassing" to describe squeaking past Akron, 28-24, a week ago. What can they say about a 24-21 comeback win over 0-2 Connecticut on Saturday night?
BOX SCORE: No. 14 Michigan 24, Connecticut 21
HIGHLIGHTS: How the top 25 fared in Week 4
"We're Michigan," defensive end Frank Clark said. "We don't play to anyone else's level, and for the last two weeks we have. But we're going to step it up."
All week, Michigan players had promised they'd be more prepared and focused than they were against Akron, a completely different team against Connecticut in their first road game. Instead, they nearly duplicated their embarrassing effort against a team that had been blown out at home by Towson, an FCS team, earlier this season.
Michigan turned the ball over four times Saturday night, a week after turning the ball over four times against Akron. Michigan coach Brady Hoke said he was "very surprised" that his Wolverines were 4-0 despite their turnover issues, which he called "a major-league problem."
"We've still got a long way to go," Hoke said. "We're all still trying to figure out where we are as a team."
The Huskies (0-3) carried a seven-point lead into the fourth quarter and appeared to be in the driver's seat when they stopped Michigan (4-0) from converting a fourth-and-two deep in their territory with a little over 11. But Michigan linebacker Desmond Morgan had another idea.
"I just tried to jump up and make a play," Morgan said. "We just tried to build off each other's energy. We preached all game that we needed to create some energy for our offense. Get a turnover. Make some big plays on defense."
So when UConn quarterback Chandler Whitmer released the ball, Morgan leapt into the air, his right hand reaching up to stop the upset bid – something it improbably ended up doing. Morgan's one-handed interception and subsequent 30-yard return gave the Wolverines the ball on the UConn 12-yard line. On Michigan's next play, running back Fitzgerald Toussaint ran it in for a touchdown and the tie.
The Wolverine defense then forced a three-and-out, and a Drew Dileo punt return gave Michigan great field position. Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner, who struggled mightily with his passing Saturday, connected with Jeremy Gallon for a big third-down conversion on the drive. The Wolverines ultimately took the lead on a 21-yard field goal by Brendan Gibbons with 4:36 remaining in the game.
And, a long four minutes and 36 seconds later, the Wolverines couldn't celebrate – but they could exhale.
They escaped Rentschler Field with the road win despite a rough game from Gardner, who threw two interceptions and fumbled the ball away once (all coming a week after he threw three interceptions against Akron).
Whatever could go wrong for Gardner did. He didn't complete a pass in the second quarter. He was missing open receivers by overthrowing and underthrowing. He was sacked three times. His fumble came when he bumped into one of his offensive linemen and the ball popped out – and UConn's Ty-Meer Brown ran for a 34-yard touchdown after recovering the ball. That gave the Huskies their biggest lead of the night (14 points) early in the third quarter.
Toussaint scored his first touchdown of the night to cut UConn's lead to seven late in the third quarter, a lead that seemed safe until Morgan reached out his hand.
Though Whitmer's only turnover proved costly, he did put up otherwise impressive numbers. He completed 16 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns. His longest pass of the day was a 26-yarder while UConn faced fourth-and-29 in the game's waning moments.
Michigan ran out the clock to end the game.
"We just kept fighting, like we always work on," Gardner said. "The defense fought hard and the offense did enough to pull out a win."

Rep. Gingrey Says Todd Akin 'Partly Right' on 'Legitimate Rape'
(ATLANTA) -- "Legitimate rape," the least-expected controversy of 2012, is back.
At a breakfast with businesspeople in Cobb County, Georgia, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) offered a partial defense-medical exegesis of the whole kerfuffle over Todd Akin, the Missouri congressman and Senate candidate who stirred up the national campaign pot last year with his claim that women's bodies could prevent pregnancy in the case of "legitimate rape."
Gingrey is a conservative congressman who worked as an obstetrician-gynecologist. He made the comments at a breakfast Thursday hosted by the Smyrna Area Council of the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, the Marietta Daily Journal's Jon Gilooly reported:
"And in Missouri, Todd Akin … was asked by a local news source about rape and he said, 'Look, in a legitimate rape situation' – and what he meant by legitimate rape was just look, someone can say, 'I was raped': a scared-to-death 15-year-old that becomes impregnated by her boyfriend and then has to tell her parents, that's pretty tough and might on some occasion say, 'Hey, I was raped.' That's what he meant when he said legitimate rape versus non-legitimate rape. I don't find anything so horrible about that. But then he went on and said that in a situation of rape, of a legitimate rape, a woman's body has a way of shutting down so the pregnancy would not occur. He's partly right on that."
Gingrey pointed out that he had been an ob-gyn since 1975.
"And I've delivered lots of babies, and I know about these things," he's quoted as saying. "It is true. We tell infertile couples all the time that are having trouble conceiving because of the woman not ovulating, 'Just relax. Drink a glass of wine. And don't be so tense and uptight because all that adrenaline can cause you not to ovulate.' So he was partially right, wasn't he? But the fact that a woman may have already ovulated 12 hours before she is raped, you're not going to prevent a pregnancy there by a woman's body shutting anything down because the horse has already left the barn, so to speak. And yet the media took that and tore it apart."
Of Indiana senate candidate Richard Mourdock, who suggested pregnancies from rape are intended by God, Gingrey reportedly said, "Mourdock basically said, 'Look, if there is conception in the aftermath of a rape, that's still a child, and it's a child of God, essentially.' Now, in Indiana, that cost him the election."
When asked whether the quotes were accurate, Gingrey's communications director, Jen Talaber, said she was not at the meeting but that she has called reporter Gilooly to inquire.
Gingrey has already said his comments are being misconstrued as a defense of Akin and Mourdock.
"At a breakfast yesterday morning, I was asked why Democrats made abortion a central theme of the presidential campaign," Gingrey said Friday in a statement Talaber provided to ABC News.
"I do not defend, nor do I stand by, the remarks made by Rep. Akin and Mr. Mourdock. In my attempt to provide context as to what I presumed they meant, my position was misconstrued."

"Surprise and delight" features they're called in the automotive industry: those little flourishes of luxury and technology that you weren't expecting but which leave you smiling the first time you discover them. And the Jaguar XF launched here in 2008 had them in spades.
Mind you, the new Jaguar needed something up its sleeve after a decade or so of cynical copies of faded glories in the form of the S-Type and even the XJ.
But the XF marked a new line in the sand; a turning point where the company (by then moving from Ford to Tata ownership) was happy to look back at its wonderful history, but look forward again when it came to designing the actual products.
As well as being an attractive car on the outside, the XF's real surprise and delight moments arrived once you were seated in the thing.
Pressing the start button made several things happen. First, the air vents in the dashboard turned their eyes skywards to reveal themselves and, then, the mushroom-shaped knob that formed the gearshift poked silently through the centre console like a real mushroom in a nature documentary time-lapse shot.
In a way, though, Jaguar was a bit too clever and those blue-lit instruments that looked so cool at night were too pale to be read clearly in daylight. The solution was to turn their brightness up to full via the dashboard knob, but it took some owners a while to discover this function.
This might all sound a bit twee, but it helped give the XF Jaguar a bit of mystique, which it seems to have managed to hang on to over the years. Which is another way of saying, it's still a sought-after used car. But beyond its party pieces, is it any good?
The good news is that you can forget most of what you know about Jaguar reliability based on the older models.
The Ford engineering in the XF meant that it was mechanically a much more reliable device than any Jaguar before it.
The modular engines, for instance, were shared with some of Ford's own models and the diesel V6 was lifted straight from the Land Rover production line.
Speaking of the diesel, while it might have sounded like the antithesis of what Jaguar was all about back in the 1950s and '60s, the turbo-diesel version was actually the plum buy in a lot of respects.
For a start, it was much more frugal than the petrol-engine XF and, apart from a degree of turbo-lag where it could be caught out when the driver suddenly demanded full acceleration, it was quiet and smooth and did the job.
If petrol was your fuel of choice, there were three options: a three-litre V6 (that, along with the identically priced turbo-diesel, formed the entry-level model); a 4.2-litre V8 with 219kW; and a supercharged version of that engine with a storming 309kW.
For the 2010 model-year, the turbo-diesel was upgraded to the much improved three-litre unit which fixed the turbo-lag issues in a stroke. And with 202kW to play with, it was no slouch in an outright sense, either.
The 4.2-litre V8 was replaced about the same time by the five-litre unit, with the normally aspirated version giving 283kW and the supercharged version cranking out a massive 375kW.
None of the engines seem problematic in themselves, although it's always worth checking modern engines with their plastic trunking for splits and leaks that can play havoc with the smooth running of the engine.
Plastic radiators and coolant hoses can also contribute to leaks and, if in doubt, an independent inspection is a great idea.
High-output engines like the supercharged V8 also need their share of preventative maintenance, so a stamped service book is crucial. That said, any prestige vehicle as young as the XF in any of its forms should have a fully stamped service record and if it doesn't you'd need a pretty good reason not to look elsewhere.
The diesel engines are tough customers, too, but you need to bear in mind that some of the fuel savings will be swallowed up by the slightly higher cost of servicing demanded by modern diesels.
While overall quality of the XF was also a step up from previous efforts, we've heard of a few doors sticking and some cases where the fuel filler door has jammed itself shut.
While you're inside that sumptuous interior, make sure that the air-conditioner is pumping out gales of cold air and that the sat-nav is working properly. Both these systems have been named by some owners as problem areas.
On the recall front, a batch of three-litre diesel cars were recalled to replace a potentially faulty fuel pump that could simply fail for no good reason, while some five-litre non-supercharged cars were recalled for more or less the same thing.
Strangely, the fuel tank in three and 4.2-litre petrol cars was also under suspicion for a kinked fuel transfer pipe that could stop the vehicle in its tracks.
More critically, some 2009-model cars were recalled to inspect a seat-belt mounting which could leave passengers improperly restrained. A Jaguar dealer will be able to identify affected cars.
Petrol-engine cars from 2010 were also recalled to check and replace a power-steering hose that wasn't up to specification and could have developed pin-holes. Had this happened, high-pressure power-steering fluid would have been sprayed around the hot engine bay with potentially fiery results.
The good news is that the Jaguar XF was off the radar for most fleets and rent-a-car companies, but the odd one found its way to limousine duties for high-end hotels. You'll spot such a car by its higher than average mileage and wear and tear in the back seat. Either way, the longer-wheelbase XJ model was a much more likely candidate for such treatment.
Beyond that, the really glaring glitch in the XF's make-up was a four-star Euro NCAP safety rating. While anything else in that same size and price category scored the full five stars, the 2010 tests of the XF revealed the car's performance was only "marginal" for whiplash protection and was "weak" for chest protection in a side impact.
The rating hardly makes the XF an unsafe car, but such findings will make a difference to some buyers.
Nuts and bolts

- Cool nightclub interior.
- Turbo-diesel engine options make for frugal running.
- Good to drive, nice to sit in.
- Brand still suffers image problems in some circles.
- Rear-seat headroom not brilliant.
- Turbo-lag in 2.7-litre version of the diesel.
- Four-star safety rating
BMW 5-Series
With V8 engines and a great diesel to choose from, the BMW has plenty going for it. A known quantity in the trade, it's a safe bet. 4 stars
Mercedes-Benz CLS
Swoopy side profile gives the svelte Jaguar a run for its money in the style stakes. Be a bit careful, though, as some of the cheaper ones on offer are high-milers. 4 stars
Audi A6
The second-biggest Audi sedan seems to get a bit lost in a crowded marketplace. But it remains a capable and accomplished car that maybe lacks a little sparkle in presentation terms. Some folk will appreciate that degree of stealth. 3.5 stars

Who disagreed with this? At what point is "when you need a goal"? I would consider those times to be powerplay, and last 5 minutes desperation. You do not put them together for even strength of the first period. that's just retarded.They want to be out there when the game is on the line
IT'S THE FIRST PERIOD.It is simply an impossibility to even consider benching one of those guys when you NEED THAT GOAL.
IT'S THE FIRST PERIOD. And BENCHING? Yeah, I sure said that we should bench Malkin. Jesus tap dancer.
yeah they are going to play together in the first period too, get used to that too. Even if they add acouple of good wingers they will still put them out there at times at every point in the game. It's called stacking a line and every team has a curveball like that. There isn't a team in the world that does'nt change their lines around. Balance is great but you need to remmebr that the whole object is to WIN THE GAME not be the most balanced line combo. They don't give out points for having balanced lines.

BTW, if I drink the entire game the Pens win. I ran out of beer after Malkin scored last night, I took no chances and got a 12 pack for the game tonight

A promising contestant cut right before semifinals on season 2 of American Idol, Josh Strickland swung back into the national spotlight in 2006 as the loinclothed lead in Disney'sTarzan, a critically maligned musical that ran for more than a year on Broadway. Strickland currently suits up as the main male vocalist in Peepshow, Jerry Mitchell's popular burlesque review at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. Thanks to Strickland's friendship with Peepshow costar Holly Madison, the 26-year-old South Carolina native now appears in the Playmate's Girls Next Door spin-off, Holly's World, which premieres June 13 on E! Opening up about his Idol journey and controversially trim Tarzan torso, Strickland shares a peep into his life as a proud gay man.
By Brandon Voss
Advocate.com: When asked if you were gay, the search engine ChaCha — which is not where I get all my information — said, "Although I am unable to find an interview where Josh Strickland states that he is gay, the consensus around the Web is that he is." Before now, have you never spoken openly about your sexuality to the press?
Josh Strickland: Probably not. I think the reason I never talked about it before is because I was playing Tarzan, one of the most masculine characters on Broadway. I never really hid it, but I was never asked about that in interviews because I guess most people just wanted to talk about me playing that iconic character. But recently, and especially now, I'm not going to hide any of that. I think it's really important to be who I am and true to myself.
During Tarzan there was a lot of speculation about your sexuality on various blogs and Broadway chat rooms. Were you aware of that?
I did know that was going on, but I tried not to look at blogs because some of it was so nasty. It's fine that people were talking about it, but I was never asked, like, "Are you gay? How does it feel being gay and playing a character like Tarzan?" It never came up. Now I'm happy to be open and out about it. If people are going to speculate anyway, why not wash all that speculation away? I am who I am.
There were rumors floating around that Disney tried to keep your sexuality a secret by preventing you from speaking too much and by limiting your interviews.
Disney's one of the best companies to work for, and I never had any complaints. What they did for me was put me in a class for media training. They gave me talking points about the show, but they didn't tell me what I couldn't talk about. I was never held back from being who I am. The questions people asked were just never about my sexuality.
At what point did you decide that you'd be honest about it if you were asked?
It was from all that speculation during Tarzan. I was really tired of people making up their own answers. I'd rather just put it to rest and be myself. Nowadays it really doesn't even matter. You see people coming out all the time, and it makes them stronger and happier. I didn't want to be one of those souls struggling every day to fight who I am. I'm 10 times better just by being out and open about it. It makes my life so much happier. I have no regrets about anything.
What did you think of Ramin Setoodeh's recent Newsweek article?
Whenever somebody writes an article like that, it's just one person's opinion. It's just too bad it was in a big, international news magazine like that. It's disheartening because you don't want to go backward when you're moving forward. Especially for people in smaller cities who aren't used to being out and around gay people like we are, that stuff makes them fall back in the hole a bit farther.
When you were auditioning for American Idol in late 2002, did you think about how you would navigate your sexuality in the media if you made it to the finals?
Well, I was much younger then, so I wasn't mature enough to even know what I needed to do. It was season 2, so I had seen the first season, and I just remember thinking, Oh, my gosh, I want to be a star. Of course, there was the question of whether or not I could I be out, and of course there were people around you saying, "I don't know if that would help your career." But now I'm older and I've had more experience. There are actors in their 50s who are still trying to get an original lead role on Broadway, so Tarzan helped me grow up a lot. Being in the public eye, I had a chance to think about what I wanted to do and about who my career is really for.
In 2008 you starred in the New York Musical Theatre Festival production of Play It Cool as a young gay actor rebelling against the constraints of 1950s Hollywood. That was sort of art imitating life, wasn't it?
It was. It's funny because when I auditioned for that part, everybody kind of looked at me, like, "He is this character." That's what was so cool about doing it. You see me do an audition in New York in one episode of Holly's World, and I actually sing a song from Play It Cool.
Let's talk about Peepshow, which I've also seen. You're a good-looking guy in a burlesque show, yet you keep your shirt on the whole time. What's the deal?
[Laughs] Because Vegas is all about the women. Obviously there are the Chippendales and the Australian stripper guys, but Peepshow was about bringing back the old-school female burlesque.
But Peepshow was created by out choreographer Jerry Mitchell and inspired by Mitchell's Broadway Bares benefits, so there are some shirtless guys and a gay sensibility. I assumed that maybe you'd had enough of being shirtless after wearing nothing but a loincloth in Tarzan for so long.
That was in the back of my mind! I spent so much time with practically just a diaper on, so I thought I'd just hang out in a suit for a while and let the beautiful girls do the job.
Being sexually objectified on a nightly basis in Tarzan must've been great incentive to stay in shape.
Absolutely, but I still got criticized. Everybody thought I was too skinny or whatever, but [the creative team] didn't want me to be like the cartoon character. In the book Tarzan eats berries, so he's not going to be a gigantor! I was slim and toned. It would've been easy to go to the gym every single day and get pumped up and big, but they didn't want that. They wanted me to stay lean — and also hairy, because he didn't have a razor out there either.
I could never get past those Crystal Bowersox-y dreads.
I know! [Laughs] Oh, believe me, I couldn't either. I mean, come on, I had to wear that every day.
Do you play up your masculine charms for the females in the audience at Peepshow?
Absolutely, but that's just part of being an actor. I enjoy interacting with the audience. You get the couples who come out, and I think they know I'm gay, but everyone's walls come down for a night because it's a very sexual show. The women are looking at the men, the men are looking at the women — and maybe the men too. People come to let their hair down and relax.
You met Holly for the first time when she joined the Peepshow cast. What were your preconceived notions about her from seeing her on The Girls Next Door and Dancing With the Stars?
We just knew Holly was a gorgeous Playboy model, so we thought she'd fit really well into the Bo Peep character. Most people might say she wasn't the best dancer when they watched her on Dancing With the Stars, but she's worked very hard in our show. She's amazing. She's been in the show for about a year now, and she continues to get better and better each week. We were hoping somebody cool would come in, and luckily she did.
Little did you know that you'd befriend her and get on a reality show.
It's funny how it all happened. Holly was very quiet and reserved at first, but then we spent so much time together putting her into the show, so we just got to know each other and clicked. I wasn't originally supposed to be a part of the pilot, but I was around whenever they were shooting because we had became such good friends, so it worked out.
What kind of trouble do you, Holly, and Holly's other pals get into on Holly's World?
It's all good trouble. We're all big personalities, so there's bound to be tons of laughter and silliness when you put us all together. But every family has tension, there are always miscommunications between friends, and things can get out of hand. I'm just lucky that the drama is actually real and that nothing is scripted.
How up-front are you about your sexuality and dating life on Holly's World?
Well, the show is about us individually, but it's really about us as a family. It doesn't go too deep into our personal lives. I'm not tied down, so I'll talk about guys and say "he" because I'm not hiding anything, but there's also a certain level of security you want to keep for yourself. You don't want everyone to know everything about what you're doing and who you're dating. When you're being filmed, you do have to think, Do I want that on TV? If I want something on national television, it will be. Will I regret it later? We'll see. But in our first episode, I get heckled [for being gay] by some people — grown men — on our last night on vacation in Mexico. It becomes something that I hope people learn from, because there's so much unnecessary nastiness out there.
So now that you work for E!, do you get to hang out with the Kardashians?
Not quite, since our show hasn't aired yet, but I'm very excited to be a part of the network. Holly knows everyone there because she was on The Girls Next Door for five seasons, so it's become her family. She trusts everyone, which was important for me. If Holly trusts them, I know it's all right.
You clicked with Holly, but why didn't you become BFFs with former Peepshow castmate Aubrey O'Day?
[Laughs] Oh, my. Um, OK, here's the deal: We really tried to be friends with her. We're not mean people. We got snubbed the first time around. The second time around, we got snubbed again. It's like, how many times can you try with someone who just goes into their dressing room and doesn't speak to you when they're walking in the hall?
There were rumors last year that Lindsay Lohan might also join the Peepshow cast.
I think that was just a publicity stunt. If she had, I don't know if we'd still be open.

it won't happenit won't happen because soundexchange is a shit-eater and sleeps with the riaa, who in turn gives the reach-around to congress. btw, i have a lot of hate for the folks there that are making a killing for screwing off all day.
War-N, 7 Jun 2007 @ 12:36pm
My understanding is that the $500 collected also go into the royalty pot and that SoundExchange is a non-profit organization.
Now, please don't misunderstand my take on all this. As an indie artist the new royalty rates sicken me. The new rates threaten to do away with the great webcasters that grant us indies the exposure we need. The community support and word of mouth is worth far more to me than a bump in royalities.
If you want some insight into how SoundExchange works, take a look at an email thread between myself and John Simson, head of SoundExchange (links to my blog).
I also have an email into John asked specifically about the $500 "base line" fees and where that money goes.
Reality Check, 7 Jun 2007 @ 1:09pm
The royalty is for stations that play licensed music.
NOT for stations that do not play licensed music...such as those that play *only* indie music.
It'd be "Real Nice"™ if you understood what the hell you were talking about before posting.
The only affect this will have on the indie artists is that *they* will get *more* airtime.
mike allen, 7 Jun 2007 @ 3:03pm
Re: Re:reality get real you are wrong i quote from webcastersunite.net royalty's are due weather you just play indi music or not also due if you play no music by sound exchange artists. what is more news and speech stations have to pay the 500 doller registration and a reduced rate foe royalty's yes a station that plays no music has to pay for music it dont play.
Chris, 7 Jun 2007 @ 3:13pm
Re: Re:It is my understanding that SoundExchange has gotten it set up so that ALL web stations must pay them for all music they play, RIAA label or not. Then the labels must request specifically from SoundExchange their royalties, even if the artists and their small label do not want royalties collected. Maybe you should understand more about this before you start posting.
J, 13 Jul 2007 @ 7:33am
Re: Re:This is incorrect. Sound Exchange collects for all music played. The artist that are not members of sound exchange must then register to them to get their money. The webcaster must get a direct license (legal royalty waiver) from every artist they play and provide this information to Sound Exchange or be found in violation of the ruling. No waiver then you have to pay up to sound exchange. Regardless of whether or not the artist is a Sound Exchange member.

Re:"The new rates threaten to do away with the great webcasters that grant us indies the exposure we need."
The RIAA is not really concerned with collecting royalties. They are concerned about control of the music. The RIAA has the traditional channels like radio stations and even satellite radio under control. There isn't much chance of an artist outside the RIAA syndicate becoming popular or cutting into the cash cows they have assembled.
Webcasters are another story. Their great sin is giving indies exposure. If rates are low it is fairly easy to set yourself up as a webcaster, so the hope of ever controlling them is pretty low. The only solution is to make it prohibitively expensive to set up a new operation. This keeps the number of webcasters down to a number the RIAA can control. If the RIAA gets its way it will soon be as hard to hear an indie track on a webcast as it is to hear one on a commercial radio station.

when will I be outlawed ???i dont own a radio any longer, nor do i have a cd player
other than in my comp
i am not boycotting or proposing a boycott, that is a useless waste
i only buy used cd's
the comp comes with a dvd player [software] so again, i only buy used dvd's
i only have basic cable TV, no movie channels
actually, i haven't been to a theater to see a movie since Ghost...1990....17 years !!!
i had been going to about 5 or more concerts a year, but CLearChannel and LiveNation shut down the venue i went to..now i wont go to any more
The Truth, 7 Jun 2007 @ 1:36pm
Guess AgainActually, that's not true. The RIAA claims ownership of all recordings, and that SoundExchange has the right to collect all royalties for ALL artists, regardless of whether they are signed to an RIAA label or not. Maybe you should read up on this subject before you start casting stones at others:

This sounds like a violation of the 14th Amendmentto the US Constitution; "equal protection under the law" clause (Section 1).
You cannot deprive of life, liberty or property un-equally.
The clause does seem to only applies to State Governments. Still this sounds and smells like UN-equal treatment of the law.
It burns me raw to see loosers trying to win back success thru legislation; if I cannot compete, then I will get the legal/legislation system to grant me an advantage.
Protectionism is the last gasp of a loosing side.
Now cornered, the feral animal will fight with the most fervor.
The RIAA will go down swinging so watch out for the wild punches.

even crazierLet's say that I am an indie musician or part of an indie band. We decide to set up a streaming radio station that plays ONLY our music and nobody else's. Technically we STILL have to pay the $500/stream administrative fee and royalties to SoundExchange. We would then have file a claim with them to get our royalties back, less their cut, of course. We could, I suppose, license them to ourselves and notify them of it but that poses another question. CAN you enter into a licensing contract with yourself?
Anonymous Coward, 8 Jun 2007 @ 7:12amIt'd be interesting if a band actually did stream only their own music and then got sued. Better yet, have a label do it, so it'd be bigger and probably more noticeable. I'd like to see the headlines for that.
"Record label sued for playing music it *owns* the rights to."
It'd definitely bring attention to the idiocy of the law.

SoundExchangeSoundExchange is a nonprofit organazation (unlike the RIAA), which means that any money that comes to the organization from Webcasters goes directly to artists and labels, not to the Porsche down payments of SoundExchange employees.
To assert that the new rates are a boon to SoundExchange is just patently inaccurate--the beneficiaries are the very artists whose music drives internet radio to begin with.
johnvacek (profile), 31 Jul 2009 @ 11:03am
Re: SoundExchangeYou've got to be kidding me! Many non-profits pay employees very substantial salaries. I would advise luvyablue1 to wait for a while, and then ask for an audit of the finances of Sound Exchange. Jim and Tammy Bakker were non profit, and look how much they took the public for.
Wake up and smell the roses (or something else that smells)
Mike Strong, 9 Jun 2007 @ 11:36pm
Beneficiaries"...is a non-profit ... which means that any money ... goes directly to artists and labels ..."
Yeah, Right. There must be a Kool-Aide prize for this one.
The RIAA wants to control the artists this way so that only a small number of them get played - which is what the recording industry de-volved into. The indies want to break out of that and RIAA doesn't like it.
Therefore the birth of SoundExchange - the RIAA's evil spawn. They are like a damn horror movie. They've never really been in there for the artists, just the industry, which means a very different agenda.
Did you read the docs on their site? Man, it reads like evil propaganda complete with ultra-cynical talking points about how they are doing this for the good of those deserving, starving artists. They don't really support the claims but the lies have a really sick feel, like maybe I should just go and hurl.

Death of College/NPO/Independent RadioI am a producer/on-air DJ for 90.7 FM KFSR in Fresno, CA... like most 90.7 stations around here, it is a "College" radio station that supports and brings exposure to not only local artists (irrespective of genre) but brings a variety, in terms of airplay, that you simply *will never* get out of a commercial radio station because our "bottom line" is the community and listenership, not a product sponsor. I specifically have been producing a program for the past 6 years that plays Japanese Hip-Hop--- one of the few FM radio broadcasts in the *world* that does so (this includes Japan)... and have had the privilege of supporting this progressive scene as well as introduce people Stateside who normally would never have had the chance to listen to this type of music. We pull tens of thousands of listeners each week from Japan alone who are tuning in to one of the only places that they, ironically, can listen to "their" music... This is a great example of "everybody wins": artists/labels getting exposure to base as well as new audience, program listeners getting exposed to music outside the normal channels typically available to them... this is also typical of college/independent radio to offer this kind of diverse programming.
If Congress doesn't act, then on July 15th all of this will dry up... probably indefinitely until someone reigns in the greed machine.
"beneficiaries are the very artists whose music drives internet radio to begin with" ... my ass.
In order to get their supposed royalty fees from SoundExchange (who will collect with or without said artist's permission), the often-times non-English speaking Japanese artist must jump through considerable bureaucratic hoops for the IRS in order to even qualify to receive their royalty, and because they are a foreign national, are subject to a 30% tax rate on income received... So when it's all said and done, some of the "starving artists" will at least be able to buy themselves a hamburger from their tax-raped miniscule royalty percentages, if they filled out all the proper forms of course, at the expense of losing the very vehicle that gave them exposure to begin with. Yeah, sounds like progress to me.
..hope to still be steaming in 2 weeks time.
Brett Hayes, 13 Jul 2007 @ 5:35pmSoundExchange is about as non-profit as the Mafia!! I buy more music and attend concerts because of my online service I pay for.. Without it, I won't buy or even know about musicans from around the country.. Sounds like SoundExchange is being backed by the corporate Record Companies who screw over artists on a regular basis.. There isn't one artist who lives off of CD sales unless you are the top .05% of Musicians.. LEAVE INTERNET MUSIC ALONE

Finally a charitable organization where all the employees work for free! Even the Red Cross and the United Way have to pay their employees! I mean no seven figure salaries, no wives and brothers-in-laws padding the payrolls. These people at SoundExchange are truly dedicated and selfless individuals and are to be greatly admired and exalted!

Sound ExchangeConverstion with Sound Exchange as recalled (recording of phone conversation was requested but permission not granted by Sound Exchange). I have an excellent and accurate memory, and do not forget things.
The conversation was very close to the following:
JV - I understand that Sound Exchange is mandating a payment schedule for internet radio broadcasters.
SE - That's right.
JV - I will be programming and streaming a station that will carry music that is composed and performed by myself. Will I be subject to royalty payments.
SE - You should be.
JV - Then, lets say that I make the mandated payment to you. When will I expect a full refund or payment back from Sound Exchange?
SE - There would be probably be no payment due to you.
JV - Why not?
SE - Since you're a small station and have limited listeners, you probably wouldn't qualify.
JV - So, I would pay you for the privilige of letting people listen to my own music. Why should I bother?
SE - By registering and paying, you exhibit your support for the music royalty system.
JV - That brings me to my second question. I also want to have a talk only station. You don't have any regulations for that, do you?
SE - Listen, you can use every trick you can think of; but if you even hum a bit of music, you're liable for all payments, and you will be shut down.
JV - Then it's the "music police" who will be listening, right.
SE - That's not funny. You people think you can get away with anything. We will use all methods available to enforce our regulations.
JV - Can I have a list of all the people involved in Sound Exchange.
SE - It's on the website. (hang up)
I plan to have streaming stations that will do what is talked about in the above conversation, and would prefer that I pay any performers, or artists directly. I'm appalled that the attitude of the 'broadcast attorney' who talked with me assumed that everyone was trying to scam the world; and I'm also appalled that they are attempting to force artists to pay them when they guarantee that the money will never be coming back to them.

Earthquake-resilient pipeline to keep water flowing to Los Angeles
Southern California will benefit from water lines that will bend and move rather than snap and rupture in an earthquake.
March 12, 2013 -- Underground pipelines are lifelines when disaster strikes, especially in earthquakes. Now, researchers have discovered how to make water lines that will bend and move rather than snap and rupture in an earthquake.
The proving ground was Christchurch, New Zealand. The findings are now about to benefit Southern California.
Thomas O'Rourke, a professor at Cornell University, has found that medium- and high-density polyethylene pipelines (MDPE and HDPE) survive even when the earth liquefies and shifts. He and his colleagues at Cornell and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute proved it using a mega-lab at Cornell and the centrifuge at RPI, all part of the George E. Brown Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES). The next, harder part was convincing government leaders to try it.
It wasn't an easy sell at first, even though the materials -- basically plastic -- are relatively inexpensive. In Christchurch, which suffered a series of devastating earthquakes in 2010-2011, government leaders hedged and installed just 2.5 kilometers of polyethylene pipe and used more conventional pipe for the rest of the repairs. When two earthquakes hit, displacing two to three meters of earth, the standard segmental pipelines were destroyed, but all of the polyethylene conduits held.
Polyethylene pipelines are made by thermo-welding lengths of pipe together to form a continuous pipeline. Segmental pipelines have couplings or joints. The pipe at the joints is often not restrained from pullout under tension. The joints are generally weaker in bending and tension than a continuous pipeline of the same material.
Professor Thomas O'Rourke
"It was stunning," O'Rourke said. "Lateral spreading and settlements exceeded two meters for the segmental pipelines, but they didn't have to replace or repair the polyethylene pipes."
Building on NEES test results and the favorable Christchurch pipeline performance, Los Angeles engineers are preparing to install HDPE pipelines in the Elizabeth Tunnel, which carries Los Angeles aqueduct water across the San Andreas Fault, providing half of LA's water supply. It will significantly increase the likelihood that the water -- the most important resource after an earthquake -- will be available to 4 million people.
The tunnel is approximately three meters wide, and water moves by gravity flow. The new pipes will provide an auxiliary water supply, conveying water even when the tunnel is virtually cut off or collapsed. Pumps can be added to increase flow.
The $4 million to $5 million project is expected to begin this fall and be completed in phases over the next four to eight years. More than 2.5 miles of the 30-foot diameter pipeline will be installed about 2,000 feet at a time, necessitating about a one-month shutdown each time, says Craig Davis, geotechnical engineering manager for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
The groundbreaking research was performed at NEES@Cornell's Large-Scale Lifelines Testing Facility, a world-class resource focused on underground lifelines -- water, sewage, oil, gas, electrical, etc. The pipeline research, performed with Professor Harry Stewart at Cornell, involved large-scale tests with more than 90 metric tons of partially saturated sand per test and 1.2 meters of strike-slip displacement, making them the largest ever preformed in an experimental facility.
At NEES@Rensselaer the research was performed with professors O'Rourke, Tarek Abdoun and Michael Symans. The team tested physical models of underground pipelines at fault crossings, using a unique split-box device. The RPI centrifuge uses a specialized shake table -- one of only three in existence -- that simulates earthquakes while the centrifuge is spinning.
Utility lines under Wall Street, 1917
The two sites are part of NEES's network of 14 laboratories across the country funded by the National Science Foundation and connected by state-of-the-art cyberinfrastructure developed at Purdue University.
A member of the National Academy of Engineering, O'Rourke has served on numerous earthquake reconnaissance missions across the globe. At public presentations about large systems, some of his hallmark slides show the spaghetti bowl of pipes and utility lines under Wall Street in New York City.
What you can't see underground -- the systems for water, sewers and gas -- are key to both preventing and recovering from catastrophe, O'Rourke says. Water, for example, is essential to public safety -- especially for fire protection and health. He calls them systems that are "too big to fail."
While giving the 2012 Earthquake Engineering Research Institute Distinguished Lecture -- from Cambridge to California and 10 places in between -- O'Rourke has called for action.
"Recent earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis have established a benchmark for severity and far-ranging consequences of extreme events, creating a 'new normal'for natural disasters," he told his peers. "From the levies in New Orleans that failed in Hurricane Katrina to the tunnels flooded in New York City in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, we have seen firsthand that preventative measures are essential for saving money and lives.
"We need to fundamentally rethink the way we evaluate the risks of natural hazards, as well as define and protect our critical infrastructure. To address the need for protection against rare, high-consequence events, local communities need to define what is 'too big to fail' and take steps to strengthen their most critical systems. We must protect against what is possible beyond what is probable."
Public funding, though, needs to be leveraged with investments from the private sector, he says.
"There is not enough liquidity in our conventional financing for infrastructure," O'Rourke says. "We currently fund pubic works through the sale of bonds and taxation; we also need to tap private equity."
Funded by National Science Foundation, NEES is a 14-site distributed shared-use laboratory of earthquake engineering equipment interconnected by a cyberinfrastructure, managed by Purdue University. NEES provides researchers with access to laboratories, computing and collaboration tools and to a curated central data repository for all data generated from NEES research. Researchers can execute experiments not possible before NEES, conduct computer simulations at U.S. supercomputing centers, measure the results and share them in real time.

tooth fairy bunnies
I intended to give these little guys to the kids for Easter, but time has had a way of getting away from me this month, and C recently lost his first tooth.. so the tooth fairy bunnies were born. (I'm hoping this might make it easier for the tooth fairy to make the proper tooth exchange, I heard she had a hard time finding the tooth under C's pillow last time.)
Bee has named hers "Toothy" and she now can't wait to lose a tooth so she can put it in the little pocket and hope for the tooth fairy to bring her something in exchange.
And tonight I caught my 5 year old wiggling his bottom tooth a bit (it's already pretty loose so it shouldn't be more than a few days before this bunny gets something in his pocket).
I used the stuffed bunny template from Kata Golda's book "Hand-Stitched Felt". You can also make a mouse, or a dog, but I thought the bunny ears were too cute to pass up. I added a little pocket on the front, not too big so a tooth would fit snugly, but big enough so the tooth fairy could leave a little something. I also stitched the kids names on the top flap of the pocket (I've retouched them out of these photos since I never use their real names) and added a little white stitched tooth.
I've never stuffed anything before, so if you were intimidated like me, it's really no big deal! You just poke your stuffing in and keep working it into the arms and legs, trying to get it so it feels even all over. I might have overstuffed C's bunny a bit. I was struggling to fit his little shirt on, so I went a little less fluffy with Bee's.
I can't say how long these little bunnies will last, I thought they would sit on the kids shelves and not really be used outside of tooth emergencies, but minutes after I handed them over to the kids this afternoon the bunnies were being strapped into parachutes, propped up on pillows for our bedtime reading, and are currently tucked into bed with the kids. And really, what more could a mom want?

In the last five years, the District has reduced taxes for Community Facilities Districts (CFD) by nearly 50 percent, or $16.9 million a year. Board is accepting applications for CFD Citizen's Oversight and Advisory Commission to provide advice and oversight to the Board of Trustees.
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA – In a series of unanimous votes, the Capistrano Unified Board of Trustees approved resolutions to again lower tax levies, saving taxpayers nearly $1.2 million compared to last year, and further reducing the tax burden on District residents who reside within Community Facilities Districts. In the last five years, the total CFD tax burden has fallen by nearly half, amounting to $16.9 million of savings per year.
The District currently has eight active community facilities districts formed pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 between the years of 1990 and 2005 to fund and finance the District's capital facility needs. The District previously had even older community facilities districts formed in 1987 and 1988, but over the last few years, the Board voted to end the taxes and eliminate these old CFDs. Each community facilities district collects special taxes on property within its boundaries to pay for the costs of debt service on outstanding CFD bonds that were used to finance school facilities projects, CFD administration, and formerly facilities needs on a "pay-as-you-go" basis in accordance with the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982.
However, the Board of Trustees voted to eliminate the use of "pay-as-you-go" monies in August of 2016 to help reduce taxes.
"Wednesday night's votes further the Board's commitment to being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars by reducing taxes," stated CUSD Board President Martha McNicholas. "We are committed to building and maintaining a responsible budget that finds a balance between protecting our taxpayers and acknowledging the challenges of our classroom and campus needs, for which the state provides no direct funding."
Public Oversight and Accountability
Throughout the last few years, the Board of Trustees has added layers of oversight to further enhance transparency and accountability including:
- Separate, independent CFD audits
- CFD Audit Reports, CFD Administration Reports and CFD Fiscal Status Reports posted on the District website
- Development of a CFD Citizens' Oversite and Advisory Commission
- Creation and implementation of the CUSD Financial Transparency Portal available on our website: https://capousd.opengov.com/transparency#/
- CFD Project Expenditure Reports online in our Fiscal Financial Transparency that go back to 1987 at the inception of our first CFD
Public Engagement and Participation
The District remains committed to engaging students, parents, community members and employees in District-wide and community-specific decisions.

by pretty cool Coupons.com Moms.
We spend a lot of time here talking about savings and money and how to get the most bang for your buck—and that makes sense, right? After all, we're a company that's in the business of helping you stretch your dollars.
Today, though, we'd like to take a break from money talk and introduce you to some special people behind the scenes at Coupons.com. Here are five moms who spend their days at work in our Mountain View offices, and their evenings and weekends at "work" taking care of their kids. Busy ladies! But this Sunday, you can bet they'll be taking a well-deserved break. Here's how some of the Coupons.com moms like to celebrate Mother's Day.
"This is an easy one for me! The garden is my favorite place. Mother's Day is the perfect day to get everyone planting and digging together. My kids love it and they know it brings us all so much joy and abundance of fresh food for the many months to come. By the middle of summer my kids are coming up with new ways to cook or create recipes with the fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, peppers, etc." —Michele
"My favorite way to start Mother's Day is with breakfast with the family at my favorite restaurant. Then Dad takes on parenting duties for the rest of the day and I get to do whatever I want, which usually means a mani/pedi and some shopping." —Julie
"I like to be pampered—wake up to a yummy breakfast cooked by my daughter and husband. Then after a leisurely breakfast, go for massage and mani/pedi. All the household chores for that day are taken care of, and I don't have to do a single thing but relax and enjoy myself." –Berna
"My favorite thing about Mother's Day is getting handmade cards and gifts from my girls. We don't celebrate really big, but it's the little things from them that make my day. I think my favorite gifts are the picture frames they've made me." —Asya
"Brunch with my kids at a great restaurant is my favorite way to start the day. Then I love to spend the afternoon doing something we all enjoy together—going on a hike, taking a trip to the beach or going to a movie. Toward the later afternoon/evening, I take some time to either recharge with a mani/pedi, or have a glass of wine and celebrate with other moms." —Lisa
So you tell us—how do you like to celebrate Mother's Day?

Mouth Guards
Custom-fit mouth guards are prescribed and created by a dental professional from thermoplastic material and are based on a detailed mold taken of your mouth and teeth. They can be made for either sports or for nighttime teeth grinding and are created differently depending on the intended use. They're highly personalized, as your dentist can adjust the thickness of the mouthguard, and they're designed to fit perfectly in your mouth with no adjustments needed.
First, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth. This is generally done using a dental putty that forms to all the crevices of each tooth and creates an exact mold of your smile. The mold is then sent to the lab, where the actual mouthguard is created. The structure is made by layering superheated plastic to precise specifications and is then cooled to create an extremely durable piece of dental wear.
Because custom mouth guards are so precisely made, they are able to provide you with optimal safety and comfort. The level of protection afforded by custom-fitted mouthguards is unrivaled by any other mouthguard, and their durability is enhanced by the snug shape, which hugs each tooth closely, eliminating unwanted movement.

Night guards have also proven to be an effective remedy for patients who are suffering from the effects of grinding and clenching their teeth while sleeping.Read more about Night Guards
Oral Cancer Screening
The dental community is the first line of defense in early detection of oral cancer. The goal of oral cancer screening is to detect mouth cancer or precancerous lesions that may lead to mouth cancer at an early stage — when cancer or lesions are easiest to remove and most likely to be cured. When found at the early stages of development, oral cancers have an 80-90% survival rate. Early detection is imperative!Read more about Oral Cancer Screening
Periodontal / Gum Disease Treatment
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is caused by bacteria in plaque. If not consistently removed, this bacteria builds up, infecting your teeth, gums and eventually the bone that supports your teeth, a common cause of tooth loss. Gum disease has three stages of progression: gingivitis, periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis; the longer the disease has to advance, the more damage it causes. With advancements in detection and treatment, Dental Group of Carbondale can discover periodontal disease early and begin treatment before complicated issues arise.Read more about Periodontal / Gum Disease Treatment

Story highlights
- Richard White, 49, of San Diego, California, was hiking alone when the bear killed him
- Photos taken by the backpacker just before the attack show "nothing graphic," a park spokeswoman says
- "We're not sure what happened after the camera was put down," she says
- State troopers and rangers killed the bear Saturday
A southern California man killed by a grizzly bear in Alaska's backcountry was shooting photos of the animal that killed him just moments before the attack, a National Park Service official said Sunday.
The bear that killed Richard White, 49, was still with his body when rangers found him in Denali National Park on Saturday, the official said.
The San Diego resident had been backpacking alone for three nights when he was mauled to death by the bear, according to a park service statement.
Photographs found in his camera revealed that White was watching the bear for at least eight minutes near a river before the attack.
"The bear was generally unaware that he was there until the last couple of shots, then his attention turned," park spokeswoman Maureen McLaughlin said.
The photographs "are not that demonstrative" and show "nothing graphic, or any showing major signs of aggression," McLaughlin said. "We're not sure what happened after the camera was put down."
State troopers, park rangers and wildlife biologists, using the photos to identify the "large male bear," shot and killed the animal as it was still "defending the kill site along the Toklat River as the recovery team attempted to reach White's remains," the park service said.
A necropsy of the bear Saturday night confirmed it was the animal that killed White, the statement said.
The first sign of trouble came Friday afternoon, when three hikers noticed an abandoned backpack and signs of a struggle -- including torn clothing and blood -- along the river, the park service said.
The hikers went back to a rest area, about three miles to the south, and alerted authorities around 5:30 p.m. Friday.
About two and a half hours later, park rangers conducting an aerial search spotted at least one grizzly bear and, after touching down, the unidentified victim's remains.
The bear intially ran away, but returned to the site a short time later while the rangers were investigating the scene, forcing the rangers to retreat, the park service said.
After the bear began to circle around them and as darkness was setting in, the rangers decided to wait until Saturday to remove the body.
The area of the Denali backcountry where the attack occurred has been closed -- prohibiting all hiking and camping in that area -- "until further notice," the park service said.
About 12 grizzly bears have been living this summer around where Friday's attack occurred, the park said, citing wildlife biologists.
Grizzly bear attacks are not common, though they are not unprecedented. Last September, a grizzly attacked and killed a hunter in northwestern Montana within sight of another hunter. Earlier that year, grizzly bears killed two men in Yellowstone National Park, according to the park's superintendent.
This attack is the "first known bear mauling fatality" recorded in Denali National Park and Preserve, according to the park service.

Steve Smith tasted free agency for the first time in his 13-year career and lasted just over 24 hours on the open market.
|Take a look at the best shots of Steve Smith.
After spending Friday in Baltimore, the greatest player in Carolina Panthers' history signed a three-year contract with the Ravens worth up to $12 million, a source informed of the team's actions has told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. The deal comes with a $3.5 million signing bonus.
The Ravens subsequently announced the move.
Smith canceled a scheduled visit to New England after general manager Ozzie Newsome and coach John Harbaugh convinced him to stay, per Rapoport.
In addition to the Patriots, Smith told reporters he had interest from the Redskins, Seahawks and other unspecified teams -- plus an offer from the Chargers.
"I love the coach. I like the offensive scheme," Smith said, after signing. "There is a lot of familiarity in some regards. But then also have a fresh new perspective. Everything seemed to jell."
Although he's clearly reached the decline phase of his career, Smith still fills Torrey Smith's request for a "move-the-chains" receiver in the vein of Anquan Boldin.
We don't buy into the sentiment that the one player with perhaps the biggest chip on his shoulder over the past decade suddenly will start playing with an even more furious vengeance. It is realistic to believe, however, that Smith will benefit from playing with Joe Flacco, who gives his receivers more chances to make plays at the point of the catch.
Smith has professed a preference for playing more snaps out of the slot, which is where he's likely headed with Torrey Smith, Jacoby Jones and Marlon Brown on the outside and Dennis Pitta as the "move" tight end.
On Friday's edition of the "Around The League Podcast," we predicted that Smith will generate 55-to 60 receptions for 750 to 800 yards and a handful of touchdowns with the Ravens this season.
From 2011 to 2012, Calvin Johnson was the only NFL player with more pass plays of at least 20 yards than Smith. Last season, there were 135 players with more pass plays of at least 20 yards.
The Ravens can rest assured that Torrey Smith has graduated to the dangerous playmaker role, allowing the elder Smith to take over the possession-receiver job more suited to his diminished speed and leaping ability.
With the Panthers on the Ravens' 2014 schedule, we will be treated to one of the most dominant wide receivers of his generation promising "blood and guts everywhere."
The latest "Around The League Podcast" recaps the wild start of free agency.

Are we not Spirits, that are shaped into a body, into an Appearance; and that fade away again into air and Invisibility? Oh, Heaven, it is mysterious, it is awful to consider that we not only carry a future Ghost within us; but are, in very deed, Ghosts! These Limbs, whence had we them; this stormy Force; this life-blood with its burning Passion? They are dust and shadow; a Shadow-system gathered round our Me; wherein, through some moments or years, the Divine Essence is to be revealed in the Flesh.

Every other Thursday, we bring you Nicholas Day -- on cooking for children, and with children, and despite children. Also, occasionally, on top of.
Today: Will children happily eat what they've cooked? What if it's a gratin? Nicholas reports.
I cook with Isaiah, who just turned four, a lot, and I like cooking with him, although he's a little heavy on the salt. I'm not exactly sentimental about it, though. I'm also not strategic.
Every kid-eat-food-good book teaches the same strategic lesson: that children will like food they help cook. It's pretty much treated as gospel. And it makes sense, sort of. (They always like the art they make, after all, even when—well, I'm not going to say there's no good reason to like it.) But I've never been convinced. After all, when I don't like something I've made, the fact that I made it doesn't make a difference. Yes, I still eat it. But only because I don't have anyone to whine to about it.
You know the kreplach joke? It has more wisdom on this subject than most cookbooks.
But lately Isaiah has started referring to all greens, raw or cooked, as salad. And not in the tone that Alice Waters uses when she talks about salad. More like the tone Alice Waters uses when she talks about freegans dumpster diving. (I'm speculating here. But still.) This new attitude required drastic remedial action, and if cooking greens together made him more likely to eat said greens, we'd do that.
Specifically, we'd cook greens in gratins, and not just because of alliteration. But because gratins are almost impossible to dislike. (Although they are possible to screw up: if you haven't read Tom's gratin tips, you should.)
Gratin #1: Chard-Sweet Potato
I know that posting a link to a Smitten Kitchen recipe is like posting a photograph of a cat doing something ridiculous: the rest of the internet has that covered already. But Deb Perelman's chard-sweet potato gratin is a one-dish wonder: orange and green stripes, bleeding with béchamel. There's enough carbohydrates that you don't feel the need to look elsewhere for dinner; there's enough chlorophyll that you don't feel like you're eating lactose-tolerant potatoes for dinner. Plus: sweet potatoes.
So I explained the gratin concept to Isaiah and we got to work. "It's like pizza," he said, scattering the cheese over a layer of sweet potatoes. "No!" he said, a minute later, as we covered up the cheese with greens. "It's like cake."
Wait. "Cake?"
"Cake! Vanilla, strawberry, layers."
This was going way too well. And it was. At the end of dinner he'd eaten everything on his plate, except for a forlorn pile of chard. We gently inquired about the pile: its provenance, its reason for being, its fate.
"Eh," he said. "I don't like salad."
Gratin #2: Spinach-Mushroom
Nigel Slater's Tender is a very British book: you can easily forget that the unifying theme is vegetables and not, say, cream. But vegetables are too often confused with moral purity. In the summer, I like virtue in my vegetables. In the winter, I prefer them debauched and halfway-to-the-gutter.
And Slater's spinach-mushroom gratin, even toned down, is a splendidly dissolute dinner. (Serve it with some sort of remedial fiber: brown basmati or barley.) I didn't care if Isaiah learned to like creamed spinach. I just wanted to break his association with greens and—say it contemptuously—salad. We could work on variety later.
This gratin wasn't layered, I told Isaiah. Instead, I needed him to chop the mushrooms (with a butter knife).
"Um," he said, without turning around from his snack, "no thanks."
"But you like chopping mushrooms!"
"Yeah. No thanks!"
"But Bean," I said, "I have a column to write."
"Dada," he said, plaintively, "I need a day off."
What I'm saying is: I still have no evidence that cooking with your child makes him or her more likely to eat what was cooked. But I do have evidence if your child plays Princess Firefighter—honest—while you cook, he or she is more likely to eat what you've cooked. Because when Isaiah sat down to dinner, sans fire hat and sequined pants, he did not refer to his dinner as salad. He just ate it. Without comment.
It was one giant leap for Princess Firefighters everywhere.
You've cooked with your children, right? Right. I want to hear about it below.
Spinach, Mushrooms, and Cream for DinnerAdapted from Nigel Slater's Tender (Ten Speed Press, 2011)Makes 1 gratin1 pound spinach1 pound crimini mushrooms1/4 cup white wine3/4 cups heavy cream1/2 cup whole milk1/3 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated
