When Stan Goldberg was diagnosed with cancer, he chose to face his fear by helping others who were already in the process of dying: Stan signed up as a hospice volunteer and spent several years at the bedsides of the terminally ill. In this book, Stan shares the remarkable stories of people he met who were facing the end of life. Their stories shine a light on the human capacity for beauty, insight, forgiveness, and gratitude, as we see how people like us deal with anxiety and sadness with bravery and love.
But what's especially remarkable is that the bravery and love aren't as much expressed in grand, dramatic gestures as they are in ordinary acts and small accomplishments: in simple efforts at kindness, in asking for and receiving forgiveness, in the abandonment of anger, and in learning to speak directly from the heart—and to listen in the same way. What Stan ultimately discovers—and shares here—are not lessons in dying, but rather, lessons in learning how to live.
"Lessons for the Living is that rare self-help book that actually lives up to its title. Engaging and enlightening, but never pedantic, Goldberg imparts basic life lessons on the importance of giving, communicating, loving, and forgiving. It took a lethal disease and time spent as a hospice volunteer caring for persons he came to know and love for Goldberg to learn these important truths. Unfortunately, many other persons do not learn them until the end of life approaches, if at all. Readers of Lessons for the Living are fortunate that Goldberg has learned and lived these lessons and can share them so ably." —Sacramento Book Review
"This is not a book to be taken lightly, nor one to be read to pass a summer's day. This is one to read in order to change how you plan on living out the rest of your days. . . . You don't have to be dying from cancer to find this book valuable. You just have to be dying from lack of life." —MyShelf.com
"This book draws aside the veil of frightening taboos about death and dying. As Stan Goldberg faces his own cancer by comforting the terminally ill, his deeply personal journey is both an inspiration and a compassionate guide for others." —Louise Branson, editorial writer for USA Today
"In this book, we learn what Stan Goldberg has learned about death's many gifts, and a plain truth: living is not about triumphing over death; it is about embracing it. Despite all our efforts to avoid it, there is wisdom in death that deepens our life." —Mark Trautwein, editor of KQED's Perspectives
"Stan Goldberg's compassionate look at being present with those who are dying gives us a rare glimpse into lessons learned by being a witness to—and fully engaged participant in—the end of life. This encouraging book shares insightful awareness that the end of life presents opportunities for emotional and spiritual growth for all of us on life's journey." —Mary Jo Gediman, outreach director of public radio's This I Believe
"The greatest wisdom in this world comes from children and adults who are facing their own deaths. Stan Goldberg shares his own experience of mortality and the wisdom he gained from hospice patients in this remarkable book. I recommend it for anyone who hopes for connection and joy in this life." —John Golenski, executive director, George Mark Children's Hospice
"A wonderful, wise, and deeply personal book that brings you closer to the bone of life." —Joan Halifax, author of Being With Dying
"Part memoir and part practical guide, this book should be of interest to us all, and in particular to those of us wondering how best to help our loved ones as they approach the end of life." —Wildmind Buddhist Meditation blog

Saunders Manufacturing of Readfield, Me., a manufacturer of clipboards, aluminum form holders and storage boxes, has partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's WasteWise program.
This voluntary program ensures that its certified members are continually working to do what they can to prevent unnecessary waste. Saunders has committed to do just that—the company will buy recycled products, use only the material needed to get the job done, and then recycle what cannot be prevented.
Saunders is a certified small business committed to environmentally sustainable and socially responsible business practices in its processes, products, and packaging. Throughout the last few years, the company has been taking steps to "green" its business. According to Kelley Ross, human resource manager, "Saunders has always made preservation of the environment a high priority, the WasteWise program just allows us to continue to push ourselves to do more."
In late 2008, Saunders began a process to switch its U.S.-made virgin aluminum products to recycled aluminum, moving away from a chemical cleaning and finishing process. This alone reduced approximately 21,000 lbs of non-hazardous sludge. In addition, the company is reusing and reducing the amount of packaging material, increasing employee awareness and education, and buying recycled products.

When and Where: You have your choice of two graduation ceremonies this year:
Reservations: Just use the form towards the bottom of this page to purchase tickets in advance. Also, if you have a graduate, make sure your graduate fills in the form at the very bottom of this page and mails it in to be listed in the graduation program. You can buy caps, gowns and tassels from http://www.homeschooldiploma.com/phaa-2011.html. (Order by April 30 for the best price!) Alternatively, graduates could wear a cap and gown obtrained from another source. (We always have a wide variety of colors of caps and gowns to represent the wide diversity of our graduates.)
Price: The price of tickets if paid in advance is $3 per seat in advance, $5 at door (no tickets needed for those graduating). Seating is virtually unlimited in Central PA, but you will need to call ahead (724-783-6512) to reserve tickets at the door in Western PA.
Directions: You will receive directions with your tickets, sent via US mail.
Program: Each graduation ceremony will begin with graduates proceeding into the hall in caps and gowns, accompanied by Pomp and Circumstance, and sit together in a reserved section in front. Following the Invocation and Commencement address (by PHAA parent and world-renowned biochemist Michael Behe, author of the theory of irreplaceable complexity, a component of the theory of intelligent design), selected students will give speeches sharing highlights of their homeschooling, interspersed with poetry and musical performances by graduates and their families. At the end of the evening, families will come up on the stage one by one to award graduates their diplomas. Finally the graduates will lead the procession out of the auditorium.
Who: All homeschooling families with well-behaved children are invited to attend. We expect to have room for as many family friends, relatives, and evaluators as wish to attend.
Clothing: Be sure to wear formal church dress (i.e. no jeans, shorts or T-shirts).
Graduates: You have to be receiving your diploma from PHAA to participate. Families will receive diplomas before the ceremony begins when they sign in. Unfortunately we may not have enough time in the program (especially at the Central PA ceremony) to accommodate all of those who wish to speak or perform. Difficult decisions will be made in order to insure variety and the best possible talks and performances. PHAA evaluation letters will be consulted when it is necessary to choose between similar performances. Preference will be given to performances using live music over those accompanied by CD.

LAS VEGAS -- General Motors needs to put its marketing jargon in the 1990s parking lot where it belongs.
I refer to the descriptive used by GM execs in discussing how the automaker's brands need to stay in their respective "swim lanes."
The phrase was first used by newly installed chief marketing officer Joel Ewanick last fall. I thought it was a one-off, but it became a hook in his interviews. Soon, it spread like a virus. Kevin Mayer, Chevy's director of advertising and sales promotion, used it at ThinkLA's Motor City West seminar. Then yesterday, Alan Batey, vice president of Chevrolet sales and service, used it at the J.D. Power International Automotive Roundtable.
Here's the problem: That phrase is hopelessly out of date. It was used by the self-important dot-com crowd before the last bubble burst more than a decade ago, along with terms like "parking lot," "pushback," and "ideating."
The dot-com kids back then needed new jargon to differentiate how they were so innovative compared to stuffy traditional businesses, what with their paradigm shifts and reinventions. Turns out you needed an actual business plan to back up your catchy vocabulary. That dot-com terminology is today used ironically as a way to mock a group that is outdated and out of touch.
So now that "swim lanes" has taken root inside GM, every time I hear it, it seems remarkably tone-deaf.
Then again, I'd be just as bothered if GM marketers used current jargon to try to impress listeners. Just talk straight, guys. It's what you do if you respect your co-workers, dealers, shareholders and the American taxpayers who bailed you out.
Otherwise, we'll just have to repurpose GM's short- and long-tail hypotheses into the future-think modularity of the game space.

Everyone agrees that they rip, but i agree that their editing style is misleading. Landing the trick is crucial, and they're cutting a lot of shots right before they lose the board. Even the ones they probably land they cut short. If you land it, let it be know, Like this:

What saints are there in the bible? None (to my knowledge), they are things that have been tacked on after. Same with the symbols, there is no crucifix in the bible. The earliest symbol I know of for christianity is the fish, the crucifix as a symbol came later. Are you arguing that just because they're added later and not included in the original idea that somehow they're not part of that religion?
I'm saying that science is a process, being in no way shape or form similar to a belief system.
daftbeaker wrote:You're missing my point. If we both have the same sense of awe and I have no spirituality/religion/mumbo-jumbo, then that is not necessary to have the sense of awe, ergo the sense of awe is not related to it.
Related to what? I'm really not sure what you're trying to communicate in this sentence.
daftbeaker wrote:I didn't say that, I asked you to say what about them is divine or sacred or spiritual without a god. What I'm willing to bet is that the answer will be the same general sense of awe and respect I have but misattributed to some theological waffle
What make something spiritual or sacred is, really, an intensely personal thing. I can't really speak for any other religion because I'm not a practitioner of that religion, I can really only speak for UUism.
My point is that while it may be similar to your sense of awe and respect, the mere fact that it is experienced as spiritual makes it different. Plus, there's many more forms of the sacred/spiritual than just "awe and respect." Those are two rather external manifestations, but they don't really cover much internal.

University Suspends Attendance Policy Due to Flu
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — As students return from winter break this week, officials at the University of Minnesota say those who are experiencing flu symptoms should stay home.
Due to a high number of flu cases, officials have suspended an attendance policy that requires a doctor's note if a student is absent on the first day.
Officials told students by email that those who miss the first day won't have to show a note, but must email instructors so they don't get dropped from class.
Officials say students should stay home until they are free of flu symptoms for at least 24 hours.
The policy was also suspended in 2009 after the H1N1 outbreak.
The most recent figures show there have been 60 flu-related deaths in Minnesota this season.

The schedule for Kristen Tett's Cinema Classics series at Triangle Square Cinemas doesn't look like the syllabus for a film studies class, exactly. This year's offerings run the gamut from critical darlings (the first two "Godfather" movies, "Vertigo") to popcorn classics ("The Great Race") to at least one entry that was outright savaged by most reviewers ("The Cannonball Run").
What the schedule does look like is a cross-section of moviegoers' tastes — and that's the idea. Every year, Tett, who organizes the classics series in Costa Mesa as well as at other Starlight Cinemas locations in Anaheim and Whittier, invites patrons to cast ballots for the movies they'd like to see return to the big screen for a night. And if that means "Airplane!" makes the list while "Citizen Kane" doesn't, which was the case at Triangle Square this year, well, then, so be it.
Whatever your own tastes may be, you'll probably find something to like in the classics series, which runs every other Monday until December, when one holiday-themed film will be shown each week. As Triangle Square prepares to tune up "The Music Man" on June 10, Tett spoke with the Daily Pilot about her own love of movies and her theory about what makes an enduring favorite:
Any time I hear about a classic film series, it always sounds like a labor of love. Were you a big moviegoer as a child?
Definitely a big moviegoer as a child. But also, my father is an avid cinema lover, and so I grew up watching a lot of these classics at home — specifically, a lot of the musicals. Most of the films we feature in our series were a big part of our childhood.
Are there any movies playing in the series this year that you saw in the first run?
No. I'm not old enough to have qualified for any of these in their first run. We categorize that anything released before 1980 is what we consider applicable to be voted on for the series. This is the first year we've featured any films released in the early '80s, like "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Because we limit it to the early '80s and before, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to see any in the theaters.
Looking at your schedule this year, there's certainly a mix of high and low art — everything from "Gone with the Wind" to "The Cannonball Run." Given that range, do you have a definition of what makes a classic movie?
We base our series, actually, on votes from our moviegoers. So once a year, we always have a voting. We have a nomination period where people can nominate films to appear on the ballot, and whatever gets the most votes appears on the schedule. There is a love of high-art films like "Gone with the Wind." But people like to be lighthearted and laugh once in a while. So in terms of what we consider a classic, we just say it has to come out before [circa] 1980.
And because we do the series at three different locations — we do it at Cinema City, Whittier Village and Triangle Square — the movies that are voted most highly will appear at all three venues. But the ones that aren't rated as highly, we show at just one venue. For example, we're showing "A Christmas Story" at Cinema City, but that's not showing at all three locations. Triangle Square is showing "The Cannonball Run," which is not showing at all locations. There are about four or five where that location is the only one it's showing at.
When I was a teenager, I wrote for the Orange County Register's teen movie review panel, and the other day I realized that, except for "Toy Story," just about every film I reviewed has been more or less forgotten. For example, do you remember "First Kid" with Sinbad?
"Chain Reaction" with Keanu Reeves?
No, not that one either.
"Mallrats" by Kevin Smith?
That one I know.
So when you see movies in the theater now, do you ever look at one and think, "That's going to be a classic! That one will make the time capsule"?
I really do think — based on the movies that get the votes year after year, time after time, and get really steady attendance every time they show — people, while they do like their good-hearted laughs, the ones that really stand the test of time are ones that speak to our deeper human nature, like "Gone with the Wind." So of recent movies, if I had to predict, maybe ones like "Inception," ones that didn't get a huge box-office reception when they came out, but they really speak to challenges we face in our everyday life. I think those are really the ones that are going to last for years and years and years.
Do you have a favorite movie of all time?
I would say my favorite movie is "Guys and Dolls" with Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra.
Have you ever shown it in the series?
We have.
How does the nomination process work?
The whole process is open to guests. Some people will jot down a couple of movies on a piece of paper. Some people print lists of their 100 favorite movies and drop it in. We really go over every one.
How big a turnout do you usually get for a classic movie?
They're pretty popular. The series is still getting out in the Triangle Square location, so tickets usually will be available up until the films start. The Cinema City location, we can sell out a couple hours before, depending on the film.
Triangle Square Cinemas recently took part in the Newport Beach Film Festival, and there's nothing more communal, as movie-watching experiences go, than a festival. People seem to laugh more, cheer more and basically project more how they're feeling about a film. Do you get some of the same vibe during a classic screening?
Definitely. And, in fact, so much so that with the musicals, we have to remind the audience that their fellow moviegoers are there to hear the actors sing and not their neighbor. There's a lot more audible laughter, a lot more cheering, a lot more humming and singing along.

What does this "vision" mean? Aim or object, personal or on business?
8. the stated aims and objectives of a business or other organization
32)...Early in my career I allowed others to influence how I spent that coin. As a result, I was busy
but effective. I was fulfilling others expectation instead of doing what I was gifted to do! I want to make a difference. I want to make an impact. Dont you? My life went to a new level when I focused more on fulfilling my vision than fulfilling others anticipation.
It's his own vision, so it's his own personal goals.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

"Rowland Wilson (the cartoonist's cartoonist)" - Bill Peckmann
"Dear Leif; All of us die hard Rowland Wilson fans can't thank you enough for posting 3 days of Rowland's (the cartoonist's cartoonist) art! Any chance of posting more?"
Knowing that RBW had done work for Esquire magazine, I dug out a bunch from my old magazine collection and found some wonderful pieces from 1959/'60...
It seems that no matter what generation you're from, Rowland Wilson has probably touched your life. During the '50s and '60s he did gag cartoons for the Saturday Evening Post, Esquire, Playboy, and many others. Here's a two-page spread Wilson both wrote and drew for Esquire in 1967.
Also during the '60s, Wilson created a newspaper comic strip called "Noon."
I found one daily strip original at the Heritage Auctions website.
Until Bill mentioned it, I had no idea I was exposed to Rowland B. Wilson's work when I was a kid in the '70s watching Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday mornings on ABC. Bill wrote, "the two titles that Rowland designed were "Lucky Seven Sampson" and "Twelve Toes". (Side note- "Conjunction Junction" was designed by Tom Yohe and myself)."
For those of you too young (or too old?) to remember Schoolhouse Rock, here's Wilson's "Lucky Seven Sampson," found on YouTube...
Bill wrote, "Row's life's work includes so many pieces of great art done for many different venues. New England Life campaign, editorial art, TV Guide (inside & covers), other magazines and print ads, animated TV commercials, on staff at animation studios: Richard Williams studios in London where he won awards, Don Bluth studios in Dublin working on feature films, Disney Studios in LA, working on feature films. I'm sure I've left some stuff out."
While doing my online research, I found many examples of Rowland Wilson's magazine and TV commercial artwork - especially pencil sketches! - at a site called The Deep Archives, which sells original animation artwork.
Also, Michael Sporn has posted many wonderful photos of Rowland Wilson and many more examples of his work on his blog. If you click on Wilson's name in the sidebar of Michael's "Splog" you'll see tons and tons of RBW artwork from every period of his career.
One last note from Bill, who wrote, "The good news there was that we found out Suzanne Wilson (RBW's wife) is in the process of putting together a "How To" book using Row's art and notes. I've seen some of those and they are unbelievable. There are also completed and unpublished graphic novels that Suzanne has that Row did before his untimely death."
Bill concluded, "Suzanne and all of us fans still hope that some visionary publisher would still do a bio/collection of RBW and his art. It would certainly rank up there with the recent Sickles, Fawcett and Toth books."
* Many thanks to Heritage Auctions for allowing me to use the scans of the RBW "Noon" daily comic strip and the final image in this post, which is a watercolour original of a Playboy gag cartoon by Wilson, both from the image archives at ha.com

Thanks so much for the splash of color from these posts of Wilson's work! I had no idea I was being exposed to so much fantastic art when I was a kid (except for the Playboy cartoons)! I even remember the Schoolhouse Rock bit!ReplyDelete
Why thank you Bill!ReplyDelete
I must make full diclosure here and confess that WORKED with Rowland both at Bluth and Disney, so we hung out a fair bit and he did tell us alot of things about his life,his past,etc.... but i can't remember any of it now!
he was all the things everyone has said so far.. great guy, loved to talk art, food, travel,art. we had a lot of great discussions, and shared a few drinks.
Ok, one thing he would say: "Well, ( many comments prefaced with this word, ) it's easy to criticize... (pause) but it's hard not to!" (deep throated laugh)
- Rich2:02 PM
Great stuff: the jokes, medieval, jungle, Frankenstein et al and great execution of them jokes.ReplyDelete
What an artist!
It's wonderful to see Rowland's great work, what a treasure & pleasure !ReplyDelete
- Cyndi B3:56 PM
Hell, I went to elementary school in the 90s and Schoolhouse Rock was a staple of my classroom. It never occurred to me to wonder about the animator, though, so this is fascinating!ReplyDelete
What a wonderful commentary on Rowland's life and work, both in the great writing and visuals. I always think I have seen the entire oeuvre--but there are always a few new surprises!ReplyDelete
You will have to change your title to This Week's--or maybe even This Year's--Inspiration!
Thank you!
Excellent, excellent, excellent! Thanks to these posts, I've become obsessed with finding more of Wilson's work. It's uncanny how modern his watercolors from the 70s seem as there are many young comics artists using that style today.ReplyDelete
Adrian; thanks for that observation - you've just confirmed for me why I put this blog together in the first place. I'm delighted you're finding inspiration in the work of these talented - but sadly, mostly forgotten - masters of the graphic arts. That's really great to hear! When I went to art college twenty five years ago, we learned nothing about the era or the artists who had preceded us. I was working professionally for more than a decade before I even began to learn a few names like Al Parker and Robert Fawcett. I still learn something new and amazing ( like this latest series about RBW) every day! :^)ReplyDelete
Parabéns,teus desenhos teem uma linha arrojada,futurismo mesclado com antigos,muito bomReplyDelete

Australian Museum Marine Invertebrate Collections
On this page...
Crustaceans are animals that have:
- a segmented body with a hardened shell
- seven or more pairs of appendages for feeding, moving and reproduction
- limbs which generally have two branches
- two pairs of antennae
- gills for breathing
Polychaetes are animals that typically have:
- a long, basically cylindrical body
- a body segmented both internally and externally
- a pair of leg-like appendages (not jointed) attached to every body segment
About the collection
The current focus of the collection is on polychaetes (segmented worms) and crustaceans (lobsters, crayfish, prawns, crabs, seed shrimps, barnacles, slaters and pill bugs) which reflects the research interests of the marine invertebrate staff.
The Marine Invertebrate collections contain registered specimens, microscope slides, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) preparations and photographic images. They include various marine invertebrates, and all other invertebrates except molluscs, insects and spiders, including freshwater and terrestrial representatives. The specimens contained in the collections are predominantly from New South Wales, Australia and the Indo-Pacific
The type collection comprises more than 9000 type lots, including more than 2000 primary types (types are the original specimens on which the first description of a species is based).
In addition to the registered collections there are also additional unsorted and unidentified collections, categorised by various taxonomic levels.
Combined with the Australian Museum Research Library the section also houses one of the largest collections of books and journal reprints in Australia providing taxonomic information on many invertebrate groups. This resource is available for use by scientists, students and the public by appointment. The reprint collection is currently being entered onto a computerised bibliographic database.

and the People's Choice? V-I-G-G-O and Viggo was his name-O
OMG! How did I ever leave Colin Firth off of the list…
Travel once again is whispering in my ear – in a couple of weeks, I'm going up to Michigan to visit my family.
Yes, that's UP. As a Midwesterner, I join all the other regional neighbors in the universal head shake that accompanies the Phrase "Upper Lower Michigan". Or is it "Northern Lower"?
What I do know is that even though it is going to be the middle of May, the P.M. temperatures of the area will not be Kindly Springlike; ie. balmy, warm, caressing.
Nay. They will be cool and damp – we are almost in the deep woods – I'll be visiting an area that bills itself the "Headwaters of the Pines" and indeed, this is a place where bath towels might fight to dry after a normal use. It's the Trees.
But this, in the grand Chic Knits Tradition, calls for New Clothes – wool clothes – which are the only ones which shake their nappy fists at the Damp and Dread.
I am finishing the Elemental sweater I started this past winter. It is a fusion knit – part machine part hand – made from Jo Sharp DK in a rich navy. I love navy. Even better, if truth be told than I love black.
First up is seaming and blocking the sleeves – I get to use my little Michael Graves ironing board – so much fun! Steam pressing as a blocking move is something I first read about in the back of the Rowan magazines and it works very well with wool that is not in need of extreme shaping – the steam nudges, softens, and sets the stitches wonderfully without any pinning.
look out pine trees I'm comin' to getcha…

Near miss leads to greater expectations for Canadiensby Arpon Basu
NHL.com continues its preview of the 2014-15 season, which will include in-depth looks at all 30 teams throughout August.
The Montreal Canadiens entered the 2013-14 season coming off an impressive turnaround, jumping from last place in the Eastern Conference to the second seed in the East in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Canadiens were eliminated in five games in the first round of the 2013 playoffs by the Ottawa Senators, so general manager Marc Bergevin and coach Michel Therrien both attempted to temper expectations for their team in Montreal, a city hungry for a Stanley Cup contender.
Bergevin and Therrien each constantly repeated last season that the goal for the Canadiens was simply to qualify for the playoffs and see where that led them.
It led them farther than the Canadiens have been since their last Stanley Cup in 1993, coming two wins shy of reaching the Final in losing in six games to the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Final.
Entering this season, as much as Bergevin and Therrien might try, it will be difficult to temper expectations in Montreal.
The Canadiens are built around a young star at each of the three positions in goaltender Carey Price, 27, left wing Max Pacioretty, 25, and defenseman P.K. Subban, who is also 25 and signed the richest contract in franchise history over the offseason at eight years and $72 million, making him the defenseman with the highest salary-cap charge in the NHL.
All three of those cornerstone players are signed at least through the 2017-18 season, when Price is due to become an unrestricted free agent, and they are supported by emerging young forwards Brendan Gallagher and Alex Galchenyuk.
The Canadiens' clock to contend, while far from expiring, has begun to tick.
"I like the progression of our team, I like the direction our team is taking," Therrien said. "We had an enormous challenge when we arrived here two years ago, but I like the commitment and the way things have gone so far. But we haven't reached the goal yet."
That goal is snapping the longest Stanley Cup drought in franchise history, now sitting at 21 years, and this season will be telling as to whether the Canadiens are really nearing that goal or if last season's playoff run was a fluke.
2013-14 record: 46-28-8, 100 points, 3rd in Atlantic Division, 4th in Eastern Conference
2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs: Lost 4-2 to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference Final
Additions: F Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau, F Manny Malhotra, D Tom Gilbert, F Jiri Sekac
Subtractions: F Brian Gionta, F Daniel Briere, F Thomas Vanek, F Ryan White, F Louis Leblanc, D Josh Gorges
Pending free agents: F George Parros (UFA), D Douglas Murray (UFA), D Francis Bouillon (UFA).
Promotion candidates: D Nathan Beaulieu, D Jarred Tinordi, D Greg Pateryn, F Sven Andrighetto, F Christian Thomas, F Gabriel Dumont
Top 2014 NHL Draft pick: F Nikita Scherbak (No. 26)
Bergevin shipped out a big portion of the team's leadership core during the offseason, saying it was time to turn the team over to the young veterans that represent the Canadiens' future, a future that is now far more immediate.
Gone are captain Brian Gionta and his potential successor Josh Gorges, two of the top leaders in the Canadiens dressing room who will now be mentoring a young Buffalo Sabres team. Veterans Douglas Murray and George Parros are also gone, and forward Daniel Briere was traded to the Colorado Avalanche for right wing Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau. Defenseman Francis Bouillon remains unsigned as an unrestricted free agent, but Bergevin said it remains a possibility he will return.
The offseason moves were drastic for a team that came so close to the Stanley Cup Final, but they were deemed necessary by Bergevin in an attempt to fast-track the maturing process of his roster.
"It's time for the young people to take a bigger role," Bergevin said on July 1. "There's always a rotation and we're at that crossroads now."
In addition to Price, Subban and Pacioretty, the Canadiens have veteran defenseman Andrei Markov, 35, signed for three more years, defenseman Alexei Emelin for four years, center Lars Eller for four years and center David Desharnais for three years.
Once Gallagher, Galchenyuk and promising young defensemen Nathan Beaulieu and Jarred Tinordi sign their second contracts next summer, the core of the team will be set for the foreseeable future. This season could provide a first indication whether that core will be good enough to compete for a Stanley Cup.
"I see this much more as a nice challenge for our young veterans," Therrien said. "We have a lot of confidence in them. It's a group of guys that are signed long term, which is important not only for management, but for the coaches as well.
"When you know your guys will be there long term, guys like Carey Price, Pacioretty, P.K., Desharnais, Lars Eller; the core group of our young veterans is there long term. It's their team."
Bergevin stressed following last season's loss in the Eastern Conference Final that he didn't believe the Canadiens had fully matured as a team. By the time he assesses this season at some point next spring, he should have a far better idea whether or not the roster he has assembled will ever reach that maturity.
The Canadiens' window to contend has been opened wide by Bergevin. The onus is now on the players and Therrien to step through it.

It is no exaggeration to say that the conviction of David Norris and Gary Dobson for the murder of Stephen Lawrence is symptomatic of a criminal justice system slipping towards totalitarianism. The alarming disregard that the establishment has shown for the rights of these men should be a catalyst for a serious and principled argument for reversing the gradual erosion of defendant's rights, which began under New Labour and has continued under the Coalition. It is time to make a case for rebalancing the scales in favour of defendants and against the incessant bowing of freedom beneath the false god of scientific objectivity.
The mood after the conviction of Norris and Dobson was self-congratulatory and jubilant. Paul Dacre, who published images of the defendants in 1997 under the headline that simply read 'Murderers' whilst he was editor of the Daily Mail, called it a 'glorious day for British Newspapers proving that the power of journalism, courageous headlines and relentless campaigning can act as a huge force for good in society and make a major difference to countless lives'. The Crown Prosecution Service, who brought the prosecution against the men, congratulated themselves on 'a lot of hard work' and called it 'the most significant case in a generation'. The quiet and dignified relief of Stephen Lawrence's parents was almost drowned out by the billowing back slapping of the media and the lawyering class.
The Crown Prosecution Service may be right to describe the case as highly significant, but not for the reasons they imagine. What was truly significant about the reaction to the Stephen Lawrence verdict was the glossing over of the enormous sacrifices that have been made in terms of traditional freedoms in the course of the Lawrence case. Many have pointed out that the ancient principle of double jeopardy, roughly the idea that a defendant should not be tried for the same crime twice, was abrogated in order to secure the conviction of Gary Dobson. But this was just one of the rights usually afforded to defendants which the establishment chose to ignore in relation to these men.
Take, most obviously, the presumption of innocence. For many Judges and journalists, Dobson and Norris were guilty long before the jury returned its verdict. In the course of the MacPhereson inquiry into the Metropolitan Police's bumbling investigation of the murder, Sir William referred to the suspects variously as 'evil' and 'obvious targets for early arrest'. In a special edition of the Tonight Programme, involving interviews with the suspects in 1999, Martin Bashir cross examined the Aicourts, Norris, Dobson and Knight on their accounts of their movements on the night. Bashir invited each of them to comment on unsubstantiated allegations and hearsay before claiming that the inconsistencies in their account made it 'hard for anyone in the public to believe they were innocent'. The casual disregard for this fundamental assumption of English Law was typified by the 'courageous' headline from the Daily Mail in 1997 – but quite what is so 'courageous' about publishing slanderous headlines about 3 men who cannot afford to do anything about it remains to be seen. It is hard to remember that until Tuesday, Dobson and Norris were innocent men. The Aicourts and Luke Knight remain so.
Then consider the right to silence. The defendants were continually chastised by the establishment for failing to give an account of themselves. Lord Justice Simon Brown, in the course of a ruling which confirmed the obligation on the defendants to give evidence to the MacPhereson Inquiry on pain of prosecution said 'these defendants twice had the opportunity to protest their innocence and have chosen not to do so'. Quoting Brown LJ, MacPherson concluded in his report that their silence meant 'the press and the public cannot be blamed for voicing their suspicions about them which are current and will remain alive'. Michael Mansfield QC, the barrister who undertook the private prosecution of the men in 1994 and who has built a career on purporting to champion defendant's rights, said in an interview with the Guardian Newspaper : 'The Lawrence suspects had a right not to answer questions that might incriminate them. But to refuse to answer any questions beyond their names was an abuse'. Throughout the investigation and the inquiry the men were scorned for refusing to bow to Judicial and media pressure to assist the police and for choosing to affirm their fundamental right to remain silent.
And what of the principle of double jeopardy? This principle of English Law lasted from the Ancient Greeks until the New Labour government decided to disregard it in the Criminal Justice Act of 2003. Double Jeopardy is often cited as originating in canon law but its routes are more democratic. In the Roman republic, the decision of a single Magistrate was only appealable to a Court made up from the citizens of that republic. Because blame was understood as fundamentally social, it was thought that society could not be wrong in their decisions as to how they allocated blame. Double Jeopardy was born from the fundamentally democratic idea that the decisions of the people in deciding whether someone was blameworthy simply could not be wrong.
But a noble ancestry was not enough for the New Labour government, who in 2003 abolished double jeopardy in the course of a sweeping attack on defendant's rights. The Act stipulated that the Court of Appeal could quash a jury's acquittal and order the retrial of a defendant for the same crime in the face of 'new and compelling evidence' as to the defendant's guilt. It also allowed evidence of 'bad character' to be shown to juries. This was why it was permitted for the jury in the Stephen Lawrence case to be played the 'racist surveillance' footage showing the men engaging in racist and violent behaviour in Dobson's home. It also placed an obligation on defendants to disclose the nature of their defence to the prosecution months in advance of their trial, including the names and details of all the witnesses that they intend to call. This removed the long established right of the defence to 'ambush' the prosecution at trial.
All of these reforms were driven by dangerously authoritarian assumption which became a hallmark of New Labour's approach to criminal justice in response to Lawrence's death: that the sole purpose of the Courts is to deliver accurate verdicts efficiently. Of course, an accurate verdict is a vital goal for any justice system. But an accurate verdict means nothing if the state and the citizen are not placed on an equal footing in the course of its determination. This is why the rights accorded to defendants are vital and why any attempt to curb or ignore them should cast a significant shadow over any subsequent verdict.
It goes without saying that society is better off without Norris and Dobson. But anyone who is dedicated to protecting freedom and ensuring limits on state power should be extremely concerned after their conviction. Their trial showcased all the authoritarian developments in our justice system since Stephen Lawrence's tragic death. It is now vital that we reinvigorate the debate around the rights of defendants and strenuously resist this incessant drive towards efficiency and accuracy. No conviction is worth the cost.

Final Record: 24-8, 68 pts. (first, Western Conference)
The Galaxy started the 1998 campaign where it left off the 1997 regular season, on a hot streak, winning its first nine consecutive games to give the club an MLS-record 15-game regular season win streak. Los Angeles went on to finish the season with a franchise-best 24-8 overall mark, matching the league record for most wins in a season set by D.C. United on the same day (9/24/98). The 24 wins earned the Galaxy the Western Conference regular season title for the second time in the club's short three-year history (also 1996). The club was 11-5 at home and an MLS-record 13-3 away from the Rose Bowl. Los Angeles enjoyed its most success against the Western Conference, going 16-4 (.800) against the West (8-2 at home, 8-2 on the road). The Galaxy also finished as the league's hottest team with an 8-2 mark in their last 10 games. The club went 6-4 in their final 10 home games, but won eight of their last 10 road tilts (8-2). With 85 goals scored in 32 regular season games, the Galaxy demolished the MLS single-season scoring record of 70 goals (D.C. United in 1997). In fact, the Galaxy posted at least a two-goal margin of victory in 14 of its last 19 wins, including a three-goal margin in nine of the 19 victories. The Galaxy also recorded an MLS season-high 104 helpers for a total of 274 points (85-104=274). The club averaged 2.66 goals-per-game, including 3.38 GPG when recording a victory. The Galaxy finished with not only the best scoring squad in Major League Soccer history tallying 85 goals, but also with the best defense, allowing a mere 44 goals with seven shutouts. The goal total marked the second time in the club's history that it held its opponents to 44 strikes. The Galaxy defensive corps allowed 1.38 goals per game, holding 21 of its 32 opponents to one goal or less in regulation. Furthermore, the 44 goals allowed by the Galaxy tied for second-best in MLS history (Columbus allowed 41 in 1997). Galaxy goalkeeper Kevin Hartman was among league leaders in several goalkeeping categories. The 6-1, 174-pound netminder led the league in wins (22), tied for second in shutouts (7), and finished second among minutes l eaders (2,544). Hartman, also known as "El Gato" for his catlike instincts around the net, finished second in the league with a 1.38 goals-against average. The Galaxy posted their 24th win with a 1-0 victory in the season finale against the Chicago Fire, which proved to be a preview of the Western Conference Final. Los Angeles recorded an MLS-record 68 points, falling short of earning a full three points in just two of their 24 wins.

GAZA/JERUSALEM — Israel eased its assaults in the Gaza Strip, and Palestinian rocket fire from the enclave declined sharply on Monday, the military said, with both the U.S. and United Nations calling for a durable ceasefire.
However, the lull appeared fragile amid diplomatic tension between Israel and its main sponsor, the U.S.
As international pressure mounted to end a 21-day conflict in which more than 1,000 people had been killed, an Israeli military official said the army would only respond to attacks for an indefinite period.
"The situation now is an unlimited truce," Israel's chief military spokesman, Brigadier General Motti Almoz, told Israel Radio. "The IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) is free to attack after any fire if there is any."
The Islamist Hamas movement that controls the Gaza Strip said on Sunday it wanted a 24-hour truce to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which started on Monday.
In the hours after its announcement, Gaza gradually fell quiet, though sirens warning of incoming rockets from Gaza sounded in some Israeli communities near the border.
Israeli troops meanwhile continued to hunt and destroy cross-border militant tunnels inside Gaza, and it was not clear if Hamas was ready to agree to a prolonged pause.
A single rocket was fired out of the battered coastal territory at the Israeli city of Ashkelon in the first nine hours of Monday, according to the Israeli military, which said it struck two rocket launchers and a weapon manufacturing site in the northern and central Gaza strip.
Gaza's Health Ministry said a 7-year-old boy was killed in one of the attacks.
Hamas's armed wing said it killed two Israeli soldiers in the northern Gaza Strip. An Israeli military spokeswoman said a soldier was wounded there but that she knew of no fatalities.
Some residents in Gaza reported they had received a recorded telephone message on Monday that said in Arabic: "Listen Hamas, if you are still alive, you should know that if you continue, we will respond, we will respond violently."
Israeli leaflets dropped over Gaza listed dozens of names of gunmen from Hamas and its ally, Islamic Jihad, that the military says it has killed since the start of the offensive.
"This list is part of the names of those who thought they could face the might of the Israeli Defense Forces," read the leaflet, which included a map to a graveyard where the militants were allegedly buried.
U.S. President Barack Obama urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday to hold fire unconditionally, while the U.N. Security Council called on both sides to implement a humanitarian truce that stretched beyond Eid.
Netanyahu's security cabinet met into the early hours of Monday to debate ceasefire proposals and also a possible escalation of the Gaza offensive, which Israel says was needed to halt Hamas rocket fire and destroy its tunnel network. Israeli air, sea and ground attacks have killed some 1,036 Palestinians, mainly civilians and including many children, Gaza officials say. Israel says 43 of its soldiers have died, along with three civilians killed by rocket and mortar fire from Gaza.
Tension between Netanyahu's government and Washington has flared over U.S. mediation efforts, adding yet another chapter to the prickly relations between the Israeli leader and Obama.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry visited the region last week to try to stem the bloodshed, his contacts with Hamas — which Washington formally shuns — facilitated by Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, and Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Israel wants Egypt, which also borders the Gaza Strip and views Hamas as a security threat, to take the lead in curbing the Palestinian Islamists. It worries about Doha and Ankara championing Hamas demands to lift the blockade on the territory.
A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, challenged a flurry of media leaks by unnamed Israeli officials damning a draft agreement attributed to Kerry as too accommodating of Hamas. The official told reporters U.S. efforts had been mischaracterized.
Obama appeared to link Israel's core demand for Hamas to be stripped of cross-border rockets and infiltration tunnels to a peace accord with the Palestinians that is nowhere on the diplomatic horizon.
Repeated U.S.-led negotiations over 20 years have failed to broker a permanent deal. The most recent round collapsed in April, with Palestinians livid over Jewish settlement building in the occupied West Bank and Israelis furious that Abbas had signed a unity pact with old foe Hamas.
"The President stressed the U.S. view that, ultimately, any lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must ensure the disarmament of terrorist groups and the demilitarization of Gaza," the White House said. Qatari Foreign Minister, Khaled Al-Atteya, told Al-Jazeera TV that Israel had not respected a ceasefire agreement that ended the last Gaza war in 2012 and it was time the blockade of Gaza was lifted.
"The demands of Palestinian brothers are fair, and they are the minimum demands for a dignified life," he said.
"We have worked with the U.S secretary of state, and we were about to achieve substantial results, and the brothers in Hamas acted positively, but the one who rejected the Kerry proposal was Israel," he added.
Speaking on Sunday, Netanyahu sounded open to easing conditions for the Gaza Strip's 1.8 million Palestinians but said this must be "intertwined" with disarming Hamas.
"I think you can't get social and economic relief for the people of Gaza without having an assured demilitarization," he told CNN.
Israel says the Palestinians have lost around half of their rockets during the fighting — an account disputed by Hamas — and that army engineers have located and destroyed many of the tunnels from the territory. Those excavations will continue under any short-term truce, Israel says.
A poll broadcast by Israel's Channel 10 television on Sunday said some 87 percent of respondents wanted Israel to continue the operation until Hamas was toppled.
Another survey, published in the Jerusalem Post newspaper, found that 86.5 percent of Israel's majority Jews oppose a truce while rocket fire continues and cross-border tunnels remain.
A 2008-09 three-week Israel-Gaza war, in which 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed, ended with a unilateral ceasefire by Israel, which Hamas eventually accepted.
The main U.N. agency in Gaza, UNRWA, said more than 167,000 displaced Palestinians had taken shelter in its schools and buildings, following repeated calls by Israel for civilians to evacuate whole neighbourhoods ahead of military operations.

While my TOR toons are all on The Harbinger (US), I'd gone out of my way to roll up a Smuggler on The Shadowlands (US). I gave my new Smuggler an unusual appearance, too: as a Human, I decided to give him a distinctively older look: gray hair and a beard.* I even gave him a name that is a vague echo of my own.
When nobody was looking, I surreptitiously leveled him out of Ord Mantell and into Coruscant. Deciding to go against my tendencies, I made him a DPS Scoundrel: enough healing to use in a pinch, but preferring to fight close in and use Dirty Kicks and Pistol Whips and Backblasts to keep the enemy busy.
The kids finally took notice of the ol' Greybeard in the Justicar section of Coruscant, but they figured I was merely leveling another alt. They never noticed the server I was on.
I knew my oldest's Sentinel was on Taris, working on the other quests while getting ready to take down Watcher One. That gave me something to shoot for.
On Saturday night I arrived on Taris, cleared the first area, and hooked up with an Ops group to take down the World Boss. Rather than getting in close to assist with DPS, I instead hung back and tossed heals around. Seriously, I needed the practice, as each healer class operates differently.
Then I waited.
Sunday afternoon, my oldest logged into TOR on the laptop upstairs. I took careful note of her toon's name, scampered downstairs, and logged into Ol' Greybeard. A quick check of the social lists, and there she was.
I'd made a point of letting them do their thing without interference for the longest time, so I wasn't sure what her reaction would be. I was betting it'd be something like the traditional teenager rolling of the eyes and "Da-aad", but you never know.
I sent whispered her a hello with her real name in it.
I got distracted by some rakghouls, then decided to go upstairs and knock on the door.
The door opened. "What do you want this ti-- oh, hi Dad."
"Expecting someone?"
"I thought it was my brother."
"Oh." I decided not to pursue that issue further. "I sent you a hello. Did you get it?"
"What? What, where?"
My youngest picked up on my question a bit more quickly. "You mean in the game?"
"Really?!" my oldest squeaked and ran back to the laptop.
I went back downstairs and pinged her again. "Hit slash 'r' to reply," I added.
"This was you?" she replied. "I thought you were a stalker!"
"Oh." Gee, thanks. I guess I earned that one without any announcements beforehand.
"Where are you at?"
"I'm in the Endar Spire, bashing pirates. Are you still in the cave?"
"Yes, I haven't left yet."
"Do you need a hand? I know you have Fallen Stars on your list."
I heard the excited babbling among my kids from even where I was. "No, not right now," came the reply. "Gottagonowbye!"
A few moments later what sounded like herd of elephants came down the stairs.
"I thought you were a stalker!" my oldest said as she skidded to a stop, her brother and sister right behind her. "There was another person who was pestering me to do Fall of the Locust until I left the area and went back to Olaris Spaceport."
"Good. But I figured your real name would have tipped you off."
"Yeah, but wouldn't a stalker have figured that out?"
"Good point. But if you've been careful about who you tell your toon's name to, it wouldn't be an issue. After all, the account is registered in my name and e-mail."
"Still, if you want to do Fallen Stars, or if your sister needs help on Coruscant, I can help out."
"Really?!" The shrieks were deafening.
"Yeah, really. I can help out from time to time, but only if you want me to."
I had to close up shop because my ears were ringing too much. Still, I considered the mission a success. I figured that they were ready for dipping their toes into a bit of group content. From there, the next steps were dealing with in-game chat, but I have to teach them those skills first. It's a bit different than dealing with IMs to friends, and as my oldest surmised, there are a lot of unsavory characters out there. Things can also mutate and take on a life of their own, which is more the province of Facebook, but you still have to be on your guard.
A small step into a larger world. Yeah, that's it.
*Okay, fess up. When was the last time you saw a toon deliberately designed to look old, or at least middle aged? I know my answer: almost never.
EtA: Clarified the "*" section after receiving some comments.

Remember the proverbial expression not seeing the wood for the trees? You need to see the wood first, then delve in and start examining the individual trees, meaning the individual items which you will be breaking down later. So a great point is to make sure that you have that overarching vision - and if you cannot find one.

Dorian Cox (guitar), Reenie Delaney (bass), Emma Chaplin (guitar/vocals), Kate Jackson (vocals), and Screech Louder (drums) comprise the glamorous new wave-tinged stylings of the Long Blondes. The Sheffield, England five-piece came together in 2003 and issued its debut, "Autonomy Boy"/"Long Blonde," a split 7" with the Boyfriends shortly thereafter. A handful of independent singles for Angular Records and Thee Sheffield Phonographic Corporation followed into 2006, as did the NME Philip Hall Radar Award, which has previously been presented to Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Chiefs. A record deal with Rough Trade was cemented in April, and two months later, the Long Blondes' campy yet cheeky "Weekend Without Makeup" made the U.K. Top 30. Their debut album, Someone to Drive You Home, arrived in November 2006. After an extended European tour, they entered the studio with DJ/producer Erol Alkan and started working on their second album in London. Couples was released in April of 2008.
Sheffield, England-based indie quartet, drawing from 60s pop and later new wave bands such as Blondie.

Use some cool creative fonts, layouts and typefaces for the quotes. i.e. like Typetees.com as inspiration.
I don't want the logo on the front side just the quote so it seems a bit mysterious. And then on the backside either the logo (small) on the top center of the back or on the left shirtsleeve.
Here are some of the sample quotes -
"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." - Walt Disney
"An inventor is a man who asks 'Why?' of the universe and lets nothing stand between the answer and his mind." - John Galt
"I have always lived my life by thriving on opportunity and adventure." - Sir Richard Branson
"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, with a beer in one hand, shouting "Whoo, what a ride!!" –Unknown
Our logos are available here -
I'd like to see the shirt in black or a green color to coordinate with our company colors.

Office of Educational Partnerships
The role of universities in supporting the education of children in K-12 levels is becoming increasingly important. Professional societies, corporate foundations, and federal funding agencies recognize the need for University-school district partnerships and are offering funding directly for the development of partnerships and integration of University-level research efforts into the education of K-12 students.
Examples of these activities are the inclusion of K-12 students and teachers in proposed research activities, participation in the recruitment and training of K-12 math, science and technology teachers, and development of educational materials for students at all levels. Other major funding initiatives from the National Science Foundation, New York State and NASA, among others, require K-12 outreach as part of the education plan.
Numerous faculty at Clarkson University are currently involved with or interested in increasing their efforts in educational outreach. The Office of Educational Partnerships (OEP) provides training and advice, coordinates activities and acts as the primary liaison between the University and area school districts. Institutionalization of the various current and proposed outreach activities will:
- Increase the effectiveness and coordination of Clarkson's programs
- Provide a "clearing house" for proposed outreach activities that may be initiated at the University, or requests that may come from local schools.
- Encourage more faculty members to become involved with such activities.
The Energy Choices Board Game that encourages middle school-age children to make smart energy decisions took first place in the Jefferson County Energy Smart Expo competition.

This column originally appeared on Real Money Pro at 7:24 a.m. EST on Nov. 6.NEW YORK ( Real Money) -- About a week ago, an old friend of mine, Dick Bruce, who worked with me at First Albany back in the early 1990s and went on to run Merrill Lynch's Syndicate Department, came over to my house and gave me a copy of a film that his son Jim produced. The movie, Money for Nothing: Inside the Federal Reserve will have its world premiere at the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam on Nov. 15. After that, the plan is to screen the movie in U.S. theaters in 2013, then release it on television and DVD. This past weekend I screened a rough cut of the film. Money for Nothing is narrated by Liev Schreiber. It is an independent, nonpartisan, feature-length documentary film. The cast includes prominent Fed watcher and my friend/buddy/pal James Grant of Grant's Interest Rate Observer. Also appearing in the film are former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker; investor Jeremy Grantham; former Vice Chairman of the Fed Alan Blinder; Peter Fisher, former Under Secretary of the Treasury for Domestic Finance; Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser; Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker; Vice Chair of the Fed Board of Governors Janet Yellen; and many more. (The full cast can be seen here.) To my surprise, many of my buddies are featured in the movie -- CNBC's Maria Bartiromo, our own Jim "El Capitan" Cramer, The Big Picture's Barry Ritholtz, Minyanville's Todd Harrison, John Mauldin of Thoughts From the Frontline and Dr. Gary Shilling. Money For Nothing covers 100 years of Fed history and is quite critical of Fed policies in many cases. The film asks the question: Can the Fed learn from its past? The movie pays homage to Volcker and lays out thoughtful and respectful criticism of former Chairmen Arthur Burns and Alan Greenspan and current Chairman Ben Bernanke, among others. I've spoken with the movie's director, Jim Bruce, and he tells me the goal of the film is to create informed debate that exposes the impact of Fed policy on the U.S. economy and on society (from the Greenspan Put to the Bernanke Put). The film questions the rationale behind today's Fed actions and calls for better policies in the future.
Starting with the Panic of 1907 and ending with the risks on the horizon of today's quantitative-easing quagmire, Money for Nothing accomplishes that goal and more as it dramatically and entertainingly reveals the Fed's ongoing reluctance to shed old ideas. The movie is filled with wonderful narrative and fascinating images that capture the world of finance throughout the Twentieth Century. Here is a three-minute trailer. Money For Nothing - Trailer from Liberty Street Films on Vimeo. And here is a link to the production's Kickstarter campaign page, where pre-ordered DVDs will be available through Nov. 16. If Money for Nothing comes to a theater or a television near you in the next few months, run, don't walk, to watch it. You won't be disappointed.

I've always loved dance animation. Whether it is Mickey in Thru the Mirror or Donald in Mr. Duck Steps Out or the dancing in Rooty Toot Toot, when expressive movement joins with music, you get an energy that leaves ordinary animation in the dust. Dick Lundy, Les Clark, Ken Harris, Preston Blair, Ward Kimball, and Pat Matthews are just some of the animators with a genuine flair for dance.
Animated dance built on what was happening in live action films, and that was built on what had been done in Vaudeville and the English music hall. Chaplin, Keaton, Stan Laurel, Groucho Marx, and James Cagney all used dance in their stage performances. Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Ray Bolger, Buddy Ebsen, and the Nicholas Brothers were all influenced by the same tradition.
Betsy Baytos has worked as an animator and dancer and is making a documentary called Funny Feet: The Art of Eccentric Dance. Her promo is below:
She's using Kickstarter to fund a trip to England to research music hall performers who fall into the eccentric dance category.
In addition to interviewing performers for the last 20 years, she has also interviewed artists Chuck Jones, Frank Thomas & Ollie Johnston, Ward Kimball, Myron
Waldman (Betty Boop/Popeye) , Joe Barbera, Joe Grant and Al
Hirschfeld (NY Times caricaturist).
Here's a clip from a Buster Keaton two reeler for Columbia. Keaton and Columbia were not a good fit. The studio was much more at home with the lowbrow knockabout of The Three Stooges than it was with Keaton's deadpan irony. Elsie James, the woman in this clip, is a pretty crude performer with a tendency to mug. However, I'm including this clip because after the three minute mark, there's about 20 seconds of sublime dance by Keaton, where he transcends Columbia's limited view of comedy.
I'm excited about the subject matter of Baytos's documentary and looking forward to seeing it. Read more about it on her Kickstarter page.

Good for Betsy. I am a fan of eccentric dance, and often post clips to my blog. I will try to help her by adding it there as well.
Thanks for posting this.

Alaska Native and Native American youth have the highest dropout rate among all ethnic groups in the Anchorage School District, according to Edna Lamebull, Supervisor of the Indian Education Program. Additionally, Lamebull believes a common problem among Alaska Native and Native American youth is a lack of identity and pride in Native culture and traditions. CIRI's community relations plan desires to build awareness of the vital role that Alaska Native and Native American people play in the economic, social and cultural development of Alaska and the nation. Placing a high priority on supporting youth and education, CIRI is committed to helping youth develop leadership skills and lifelong learning habits.
These presentations often have an educational component, as in the case of renowned Native American author Sherman Alexie's recent visit with Anchorage students. West High School teacher Debi Bye met with participating students before their gathering with Sherman Alexie. Bye led the students in a discussion about Native American authors and the mainstream stereotypes and misperceptions they often run into when writing stories about their lives. Bye also gave the students background information on Sherman Alexie, and led them through a series of his short stories and poems, in order to prepare them for a meaningful discussion with Alexie and to increase their knowledge about Native American authors.

Track of the Day: Grumbling Fur

Grumbling Fur - "Protogenesis"
Daniel O'Sullivan and Alexander Tucker are long time friends and collaborators. Both artists are veterans of the UK experimental underground: O'Sullivan as a member of Guapo, Ulver, and Aethenor (with Stephen O'Malley), and Tucker with imbogodom and as an eclectic (read: Yeti) solo artist. On their newest album as Grumbling Fur, Glynnaestra, they have crafted an avant-pop album assembled as one would a collage. This structural foundation is built up via an eclectic array of instruments, both acoustic and modified, to pulsating electronic sounds.
