WESTMINSTER, MD – The York College women's basketball squad placed three players in double figures as they rolled past McDaniel College 63-45 in a non-conference contest in Westminster, Maryland on Monday night.
The Spartans improve to 14-4 overall while the Green Terror fall to 7-10.
After a slow start by both teams, the Spartans embarked on a 21-4 run that covered over 12 minutes of game time. That allowed the Spartans to take a 23-6 lead with 7:50 remaining in the opening half. York continued to build on the lead as a Brittany Hicks (Dover, Pa./York Catholic) triple pushed the lead to 31-11 with 4:38 left in the opening stanza.
After a pair of Green Terror free throws, York's Kelsey Murphy (Olney, Md./Good Counsel) drained a three and Kristen Haley (Silver Spring, Md./Georgetown Visitation) hit a lay up as the Spartans took a 36-13 lead to the half.
The second half saw the Spartans maintain their lead in the 20's for much of the 20 minutes of action. York managed to push the lead to 30 on another Murphy three with 3:45 left in regulation before the Green Terror ended the game on a 12-0 run, providing for the final 18 point margin of victory for York.
Haley notched her fifth double-double of the year with game-highs in both points, 14, and rebounds, 13. Haley had five blocked shots while she also handed out two assists and had one steal in her 30 minutes of play. Murphy was outstanding shooting the ball as the junior added 13 points on a very efficient 5-of-8 shooting from the floor including a deadly 3-for-4 from three. Murphy also had three assists. Hicks was the third Spartan in double figures with 12 points while she also had six rebounds in 28 minutes of play. Freshman Julianne Lambert (Hockessin, Del./Padua Academy) registered a number of career highs as she established new personal standards in rebounds (3), assists (3), steals (2) and blocked shots (2) while she also contributed eight points which was one short of a career high.
Steph Perez paced McDaniel with 11 points as she was 4-for-11 from the floor including 1-of-8 from three. Rachael Rybak added eight points and four rebounds for the Green Terror.
York shot a season-best 49% from the floor as they converted 24-of-49 from the field. The Spartans also shot the ball well from distance as they canned 8-of-13, good for a season-best 61.5%. McDaniel was limited to 25.8% shooting from the floor, as they became the tenth Spartan opponent this year to be held under 50 points. The Green Terror went just 5-for-26 (19.2%) from three. Neither team was very good from the free throw line as both teams shot 53%.
York held a slight 40-39 edge on the glass while the two squads combined for 40 turnovers in the contest.
York returns home on Thursday evening when they host Washington & Lee in a non-conference contest. Tip time at Wolf Gymnasium is set for 7:00 pm.

Larry Tobin's Ups-n-Downs column in the Feb. 2, 2010, Tomahawk Leader:
I ran into a friend at the grocery store the other day. I use the term "friend" loosely – he's as much a friend as you care to be with someone who played football wearing a leather helmet (no face guard) and wallowed around on a practice field covered in buffalo chips for four years.
Anyway, we had no more than said "hi" when he began his rant.
"I've been lied to!"
Okay, I'll bite. "About what?"
"All my life I've been told I should pay all of my bills, especially my tax bills to the government. And I've always done just that. Now, I find out that you don't have to!"
I thought he was talking about some of President Obama's political appointees. He agreed that they were included but the ones he was really hot about were the ones who were advertised on TV.
As much as it pains me, I have to admit that old Bison Breath was right, and the matter angers me as much as it does him.
You just about can't watch television without seeing the commercials.
"If you owe the IRS $10,000 or more in back taxes, call Friskem, Swiftly and Howe right away. We'll get your tax debt slashed to pennies on the dollar!"
And then come the smiley faces of the testimonials:
"We owed the IRS over a million and a half dollars and Friskem, Swiftly and Howe got our tax debt settled for just ten thousand, three hundred dollars!"
I don't know about you but those commercials leave me feeling cheated! The people on TV never say there was any disagreement with the IRS over the amount that was owed. That would be a legitimate discussion.
I know that the IRS can be wrong at times and the taxmen are just as often prone to being nitpicky. Furthermore, much of the tax code is subject to broad interpretation, depending on who does the interpreting.
But that's not what the TV commercials indicate. The testimonials always state that "We owed" so much money and didn't have to pay most of it.
Our government is in debt up to Dave Obey's eyeballs and it's getting in deeper every second. Still, we aren't even collecting everything that appears to be legitimately owed.
Doesn't it make you wonder just how much our own tax bills could be lowered if all the money was paid into the federal coffers that was owed?
The TV commercials don't leave me with any sense of empathy toward the people who got their tax debt reduced. Instead they leave me outraged that some people may be cheating the rest of us, and they appear to be blatantly getting away with it!
I'm all for the government reducing taxes but that's not exactly what I had in mind!

Finally got round to advice:
Soak them WELL - at least 6 hours to overnight. If you're time limited, put them in cold water; bring them gently to a boil and then with saucepan off the heat, allow them to remain in the water for 1 to 2 hours only. Always chuck away the water they were soaked in.
Do not under any circumstance add any salt to them before or during cooking. This makes them tough. Add your salt just before serving, to taste (this is a good idea anyway if cutting down on salt). Likewise don't add vinegar, or anything acidic (e.g. tomato) prior to cooking for similar reasons.
Like most things, a bit of seasoning makes all the difference. Don't cut salt out altogether - just reduce it (you still need some salt in your diet).
If you have any - and I appreciate most people don't, cook your beans with a strip of konbu seaweed. It seems to cut down the cooking time and make them softer, and also adds a nice savoury taste to them (I use dried konbu. The first time I use it to make stock. Then I save it and freeze it to add to beans when I cook them).
If you have a slow cooker of crockpot, beans are much better because you cook them long and slow all day.
I will second the thing about kidney beans - if you've not soaked them well enough you have problems, and a well rinsed tin of organic ones (to reduce salt content) works well.
If you're really organised, cook a big batch of beans at once, and freeze them in batches for adding to other dishes later. Saves your having to soak them regularly.
Hope this help

Re: Dried beans
I second all the advice about proper preparation of beans, CF's in particular.
Hubby prepares a week's worth of mixed beans at a time, and I add them to my share of vegetable curries, Italian sauces etc. in place of the meat that the others are eating.
I wouldn't eat them on their own.

New York, N.Y. - Junior forward AJ Matthews (Brooklyn, N.Y./Van Arsdale), who has been a dominant force for Farmingdale State this season, earned Player of the Year honors in the Skyline Conference to headline the All-Conference team, selected by the league's 10 head coaches.
First team selections include Chris Jimenez and Olivier Laurent of regular-season champion St. Joseph's – L.I., Carlos Valdez of Mount Saint Mary, Tevon McNair of Old Westbury, and Joshua Smith of Farmingdale State. The second team consists of Trey Black of St. Joseph's – L.I., Kerel Mitchell of Old Westbury, Mike McSloy of Maritime, Shaquille Cunningham of Mount Saint Vincent, and Dovie Hoffman of Yeshiva. NYU-Poly's Evan Azzam claims the Rookie of the Year award, while John Mateyko of St. Joseph's-L.I. earns Coach of the Year accolades. The Team Sportsmanship Award goes to Yeshiva.
Matthews, a 7-0, 215-pound junior from Brooklyn, N.Y., has enjoyed one of the best seasons in Skyline history, as he has double-doubles in each of his 23 games. He leads the league in scoring (22.1), rebounding (16.0), blocks (4.0), and field goal percentage (62.8), while leading his team to a 16-2 Skyline mark and 20-5 overall. He currently leads Division III in double-doubles and rebounding, is 3rd in blocks, 5th in FG pct., and 11th in scoring.
Jimenez and Laurent form a potent senior backcourt tandem which has propelled the Golden Eagles to a 17-1 league mark and 21-3 overall. The 6-0 Jimenez contributes 14.0 ppg, leads the league in both steals (2.6) and 3-pt. FG made (3.1), where he ranks 16th and 19th nationally. The 6-2 Laurent is among the league's leaders in scoring (5th - 15.9) and assists (4th-4.1), while shooting at a 46.2% clip. Valdez, 6-7, 220-pound senior forward, has put together a huge year for the Knights (14-4, 19-6), as he is 5th in the Skyline scoring race (15.2) and 2nd in boards (11.1) and FG pct. (59.2), ranking 10th nationally in the latter two, as well as 5th in double-doubles (17). McNair, a 6-7, 215-pound senior center, is 3rd in the league in both scoring (18.2) and rebounding (11.0), and he also ranks 30th in Division III in rebounding and FG pct. (51.6) and 31st in double-doubles (10). Smith, a 6-3 senior guard, is among the circuit's leaders in scoring (8th-15.2) and steals (4th – 2.2), while shooting 48.2% from the floor and adding 4.2 rpg.
The second team is a formidable group as well. Black, a senior guard, has been a key contributor to his team's success, with 14.9 ppg, 5.6 apg, and 2.3 spg. Mitchell, a junior guard, has poured in 16.8 ppg including 2.3 treys per game, as well as coming up with 2.2 spg. McSloy, a senior guard, scored 20 points or more in his last eight contests, finishing at 21.0 ppg (24th nationally), and led the league in FT pct. (82.0). Cunningham, a junior guard, led the Dolphins to the Skyline Tournament by averaging 14.4 ppg, 3.8 rpg and 3.0 apg. Hoffman, a junior forward, led Yeshiva with 14.7 ppg and 7.1 rpg.
Azzam, a 5-9 freshman guard, burst on the scene to lead the Blue Jays to an improved season. He led the team with 12.3 ppg and 36 treys, while also contributing 6.2 rpg and 1.0 spg.
Mateyko, who is in his 11th year at the helm of the St. Joseph's-L.I. program, has had his senior-laden team humming on all cylinders all year long. The nation's 13th-best scoring team (86.5 ppg) has only lost two games against Division III foes, as they lost a competitive game to Yale, and are currently ranked third in the Atlantic Region. Mateyko, who has forged a stellar 181-111 mark for the Golden Eagles, led them to the Skyline Championship and NCAA Tournament in 2009 and to the ECAC Tournament in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011.

Brussels, Flemish Brussel, French Bruxelles, city, capital of Belgium. It is located in the valley of the Senne (Flemish: Zenne) River, a small tributary of the Schelde (French: Escaut). Greater Brussels is the country's largest urban agglomeration. It consists of 19 communes, or municipalities, each with a large measure of administrative autonomy. The largest commune—which, like the greater metropolitan area, is named Brussels—contains the historic core of the city and the so-called "European Quarter," where the institutions of the European Union (EU) are located. Greater Brussels officially became the Brussels-Capital Region in 1989, during the federalization of Belgium. Along with the much larger regions of Flanders and Wallonia, the Brussels-Capital Region constitutes one of the country's three main political divisions. As the seat of the EU, Brussels is known as the "capital of Europe," and its significance as a centre of international governance and business makes Brussels a true global city—a status shared with such metropolises as New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo. Area Brussels-Capital Region, 62 square miles (161 square km). Pop. (2015 est.) Brussels-Capital Region, 1,175,173; Brussels commune, 175,534.
Character of the city
Brussels is the administrative, commercial, and financial heart of Belgium, and the majority of services and institutions of national importance are based in the city. Brussels is, in addition, a major European tourist and cultural attraction, functioning simultaneously as a regional metropolis and an international centre. The last-named role has flourished since the city became host to the European Communities (ultimately succeeded by the EU) as well as to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) headquarters.
The city lies just a few miles north of the invisible "language boundary" separating Belgium's Flemish-speaking region of Flanders in the north from the southern, French-speaking Walloon Region. Brussels is thus surrounded by Flemish territory. Although historically it was a predominantly Flemish-speaking city, at present the majority of residents in the Brussels agglomeration speak French, which is also the preferred language of the city's growing international labour force. The city is bilingual, and in all spheres of public life Flemish and French are used side by side. Nevertheless, in the 20th century Brussels became the principal venue for political and cultural clashes between Flemings and Walloons. Partly as a result of these conflicts, the Belgian parliament reorganized the country's structure on the basis of the Flemish, Walloon, and Brussels-Capital regions. Although the Brussels-Capital Region maintains a separate political identity, the city of Brussels also functions as the capital of the Flemish Region and as the capital of the country's French- and Flemish-language communities.
Although the average visitor to Brussels might remain unaware of the various governmental powers vested there, the interdigitation of municipal, national, and European politics has contributed to many of the city's problems. It has, for example, impeded the harmonious development of the city's spreading built-up areas as well as its public transportation infrastructure, already hindered by an automobile-friendly street plan. Moreover, national and transnational interests have at times taken precedence over the interests of local residents.
There is no question that Brussels is a polarized place. Dilapidated neighbourhoods in the centre-west and west stand in stark contrast to manicured lawns, restored townhouses, and posh suburban villas in the east and southeast. Dated industrial infrastructure lies a few miles from the astringent glass-and-steel administrative district of the EU. Yet, its urban pathologies aside, Brussels is not a city in decay but a place of great vibrancy and multicultural depth—a much more exciting and cosmopolitan place than it ever was during its centuries-long history.
City site
Brussels lies in the Central Plateaus of Belgium. Located between the Atlantic oceanfront of sandy lowlands and polders to the north and the rugged Ardennes highlands to the south, Brussels has long played the role of economic and transportation nexus for the broader region that spans the valleys of the Schelde, Sambre, and Meuse rivers. During the medieval period, Brussels was enclosed by two successive circuits of fortification walls, constructed in the 11th and 14th centuries. The latter circuit, which encompassed the commercially important Senne and a significant escarpment to the east, was roughly in the shape of a pentagon, the trace of which is still visible from the air.
Over time, villages surrounding the pentagon were aggregated, and, together with historic central Brussels, they ultimately constituted Greater Brussels. Today, the metropolitan area of Brussels, girded by a beltway (the so-called grande ceinture), extends beyond the footprint of the 19 communes to encompass a fringe of the province of Flemish Brabant.
Its relative proximity to the North Sea gives Brussels a mild maritime climate, with summer daytime temperatures usually between 68 and 77 °F (20 and 25 °C) and winter temperatures rarely dipping below 32 °F (0 °C). With rain falling on more than half the days of the year on average, Brussels experiences a high mean annual precipitation (more than 32 inches [810 mm]) and has no discernible dry season. Snowfall rarely occurs more than two or three times a year. As Brussels is distinctly automobile friendly, noise and air pollution are notable problems.
City layout
The historic Old Town of inner Brussels forms the centre of the modern metropolis, but the pentagonal walls that once surrounded it were replaced by a ring of tree-lined boulevards in the early 19th century. Since 1830, when Belgium became an independent kingdom, Brussels has continued to be transformed, in the Old Town as well as in the surrounding communes. The determining factor in this metamorphosis has been incessant population pressure, which caused a building boom and the development of an ever-widening network of streets, avenues, and roads crisscrossing the countryside and urbanizing the neighbouring villages.
At first the urban tentacles pushed forward only along the seven or eight routes radiating from the tollgates along the old city walls, but after the toll system was abolished in 1860, they also spread along new roads. The suburbs expanded rapidly beyond the town gates, and by the end of the 19th century several of the first ring of communes were almost completely covered by residential buildings. Much like Paris, which was radically redesigned in the second half of the 19th century by the urban planner Georges-Eugène, Baron Haussmann, Brussels of this period was physically transformed. Influenced by French urban planning and architecture, Brussels's authorities demolished medieval and Baroque-era neighbourhoods, created new beaux quartiers ("beautiful districts"), and cut wide boulevards through the city—diminishing its historically Flemish character. Modernization also brought improved sanitation to the city. In the 1860s and '70s the highly polluted Senne was diverted around the western edge of the historic city. Its traditional course through the city centre was integrated into a new system of sewers and covered over with apartment-lined boulevards.
Expansion continued into the 20th century, in all directions: north and south along the valley of the Senne River, and east and west on the undulating plateaus separated by tributaries of the Senne. But as affluent, mainly French-speaking people increasingly moved into leafy communities on Brussels's periphery, many Flemish speakers viewed the metropolitan growth as an incursion into their territory. Thus, in the latter half of the 20th century, legislation strictly confined the city within the limits of its 19 constituent communes.
Historically split by topography into a riverside merchant district and an elevated elite area to the east, central Brussels today remains divided between the western commercial quarter, or lower town, and the eastern upper town, where the principal government buildings are situated. The commercial quarter extends from the western outer boulevards to a little east of the central boulevards and includes the medieval marketplace known as the Grand' Place (Flemish: Grote Markt), the city's premier architectural tourist attraction. This square, with its elaborately decorated 17th-century guildhalls, lies at the heart of the Old Town. It is occupied on its south side by the imposing Town Hall (French: Hôtel de Ville; Flemish: Stadhuis) and on its north by the ornate King's House (Maison du Roi/Broodhuis; almost entirely rebuilt during 1873–95), which contains the Brussels City Museum. The area surrounding the Grand' Place, known as the Îlot Sacré ("Sacred Isle"), includes the late 19th-century Stock Exchange. Perhaps the most famous curiosity of this quarter is the Manneken-Pis Fountain (1619), noted for a small bronze statue of a boy urinating and known to the people of Brussels as their oldest "citizen"; the statue is adorned in various costumes throughout the year to mark festivals, holidays, and other events. Other highlights of the lower town include two preserved 18th-century squares, the Place du Nouveau Marché aux Grains (Nieuwe Graanmarkt) and the Place des Martyrs (Martelaarsplein), located northwest and northeast of the Grand' Place, respectively.
The upper town is the remaining eastern area of the inner city. On the rue Royale (Koningsstraat) stand the Royal Palace and, to the north, the Palace of the Nation. The Royal Palace is flanked to the west by the late 18th-century Place Royale, a symmetrical Neoclassical square conceived by French architects Nicolas Barré and Barnabé Guimard to evoke the royal squares of France. The Palace of the Nation was erected (1779–83) when Belgium belonged to the Austrian Netherlands; after independence it became the home of the Belgian Senate and Chamber of Representatives. The two palaces stand at either end of Brussels Park, in an area that has become a symbol for the national government. North of the Palace of the Nation, and dominating the northeastern end of the historic city, is the Cité Administrative, built between the late 1950s and early '80s and originally intended for national government functions. The complex's austere international style drew much criticism, however, and its buildings were largely abandoned by the early 21st century. At that time, in a public-private venture, Brussels made plans to transform the Cité Administrative from an obsolete modernist monument into a mixed-use complex featuring renovated offices, expanded green space, recreational facilities, and a substantial amount of housing, thus reintegrating the site into city life.
The headquartering of the European Communities in Brussels in 1958 breathed new life into the city centre, especially east of Brussels Park in the Léopold Quarter, where the offices were established. The first large-scale building dedicated to the city's European functions was the European Commission's headquarters, the Berlaymont—a vast cruciform high-rise building designed by Lucien de Vestel and constructed during 1967–69. The Berlaymont (or "Berlaymonster," as its critics call it) has become an icon of European integration. Although the expansion of the European quarter has provoked controversy, as it necessitated the demolition of architecturally important Neoclassical streetscapes, the EU infrastructure now encompasses dozens of buildings and reinforces Brussels's identity as the capital of Europe.
The population of the Brussels agglomeration grew steadily from 57,000 in 1755, when the first census was held, to 104,000 in 1830, 626,000 in 1900, 892,000 in 1930, and approximately 1,000,000 in 1970. The population of the Brussels-Capital Region remained just above 1,000,000 into the early 21st century, when it represented about one-tenth of the population of Belgium. Meanwhile, the population of the inner city increased in line with that of the total agglomeration until about 1890, when it stood at 160,000. It then decreased sharply during the first half of the 20th century, falling to about 60,000 by the 1960s. By the early 21st century, however, the population of the Brussels commune had reached nearly three times that number.
Immigration has had a significant impact on the demographic and linguistic evolution of the city. In the 19th century, newcomers usually came from either Flanders or Wallonia, although there was also a large expatriate community from France and, to a lesser extent, Germany. Until then, Brussels remained the Flemish city it had always been, with only about one-third of its inhabitants speaking French. The new Flemish inhabitants, however, belonged on the whole to the lower strata of society (domestic servants, labourers), whereas Walloon newcomers were predominantly middle-class employees and civil servants. Largely as a result of social pressure and the prestige of the language, by the mid-20th century a large majority of Bruxellois spoke French.
The economic expansion of the post-World War II era necessitated the introduction of labourers from a number of countries in the Mediterranean region—including Italy, Spain, Greece, Morocco, Turkey, and Yugoslavia—during the 1950s and '60s. Immigrants of various origins, notably the Democratic Republic of the Congo, continued to arrive in subsequent decades. Significant numbers of immigrants from outside western Europe and their descendants now inhabit central Brussels, notably in the communes of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean (Flemish: Sint-Jans-Molenbeek), Saint-Gilles (Sint-Gillis), Schaerbeek (Schaarbeek), and Saint-Josse-ten-Noode (Sint-Joost-ten-Node). All these immigrant groups brought increased ethnic and religious diversity to the historically Roman Catholic city. Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, for example, boasts an important Turkish community, and Schaerbeek has a relatively large number of mosques and several Eastern Orthodox churches. Geographic segregation, economic disparity, and, on the part of some groups, a lack of assimilation into Belgian society occasionally have contributed to tensions between immigrant groups and the native Belgian population.
Meanwhile, the arrival from western European countries of personnel for the European Communities and, later, the EU also altered the composition of the population of Brussels. By the turn of the 21st century, more than one-fourth of the inhabitants of the Brussels-Capital Region had been born outside Belgium, and the majority of them hailed from other EU countries. Many European functionaries have settled in affluent areas within the Brussels-Capital Region, especially in the communes of Ixelles (Flemish: Elsene), Etterbeek, Woluwe-Saint-Lambert (Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe), and Woluwe-Saint-Pierre (Sint-Pieters-Woluwe). Many others have moved into municipalities on its periphery, such as Sint-Genesius-Rode (French: Rhode-Saint-Genèse) and Tervueren, both within the Flemish Region, and Waterloo, in Wallonia. A number of these peripheral communes are classified as "communes with facilities" (French: communes à facilités; Flemish: faciliteitengemeenten), meaning that the Belgian constitution grants their residents the right to access government services in a minority language, notwithstanding the official language of the commune. Thus, even though the borders of the Brussels-Capital Region are fixed, those limits have not constrained its largely French- and English-speaking international population, whose settlement in the Flemish hinterland has contributed to rancor between the country's language communities.
While Brussels remains officially bilingual—and the dual capital of the country's Flemish- and French-speaking communities—French is undoubtedly the lingua franca of the region, with more than nine-tenths of the population speaking it "well to fluently" in the early 21st century. As the use of Flemish has declined, English has overtaken it as the most common second language of the people of Brussels, with more than one-third of the population making that claim—although the use of English is associated with school and the workplace, rather than the home.
The capital has been the financial heart of Belgium and a major commercial centre ever since the private and powerful holding company the Société Générale de Belgique was established there in 1822. Today Brussels's rank as the most populous region in the country, its status as the federal capital and the seat of the EU, and its great concentration of service industries make it the most important growth engine of Belgium. Its economic footprint extends beyond the boundaries of the Brussels-Capital Region, well into the regions of Flanders and Wallonia. Plainly speaking, more than one-tenth of the jobs in Belgium are tied to the Brussels economy. Within the region, both the standard and cost of living are relatively high; the average income per person is higher than in Flanders and Wallonia, although the gap has narrowed. Yet, as in other global cities in the 21st century, the concentration of highly compensated executives and the loss of well-paid manufacturing employment have contributed to socioeconomic polarization, expressed by high levels of unemployment, occasional animosity between the Belgian majority and the non-European immigrant communities, and the deterioration of neighbourhoods untouched by Brussels's international functions.
Belgium became an important manufacturing centre during the Industrial Revolution, a development aided by the expansion of Belgium's canal system and new port and railway facilities in the city. Industrial activities largely developed along the north-south valley of the Senne River and became concentrated in the western parts of the city. In the mid-20th century food processing and the manufacture of machinery, electrical products, chemicals, and textiles were the leading industries.
Since the 1970s Brussels has followed the rest of Belgium and the industrialized West in shedding a considerable part of its manufacturing activities. Today manufacturing in Brussels has a substantially leaner profile, represented by some remaining heavy industry—machine parts and automobile manufacture—as well as industries characterized by intensive research and development, such as pharmaceuticals, chemical products, and electronics. Because manufacturing accounts for less than one-tenth of the total economic output of the region, 21st-century Brussels can be appropriately described as a postindustrial city.
Finance and other services
Concentrated in the eastern parts of central Brussels, the service sector constitutes the largest segment of the regional economy and employs about three-quarters of the workforce. Leading the list are public and government services, which include the international governance institutions. Next in importance are financial services and commerce; other significant service industries include law, insurance, real estate, and consultancies. The size of the contribution made by international governance—especially the EU's institutions—to Brussels's economy is a matter of some controversy; estimates of the number of people employed in the international sector range from about 4 to 10 percent of the region's workforce. Nevertheless, its economic impact is quite visible in the real-estate market: nearly a third of Brussels's office space is occupied by EU-related entities, and elite neighbourhoods, especially those adjacent to the EU zone, are heavily populated by international service workers and their dependents.
Tourism is another important component of the service sector. The city's easy accessibility and central geographic location in western Europe have proved beneficial to its tourist trade. Many visitors to the Continent use Brussels as a convenient base or starting point for their travels.
Brussels is the focal point of the Belgian railway system, one of the densest in the world. In 1911 the city began building a series of railway tunnels and viaducts connecting the North (1841) and South (1869) railway stations by way of the underground Central Station (1952). This so-called North-South link was completed in 1956. To alleviate worsening traffic problems caused by the city's large number of commuters, in 1965 the city began developing a comprehensive subway and regional railway network that now extends to all parts of the Brussels-Capital Region. In the early 21st century an expanded regional network, linking the city with Flemish and Walloon communities on its periphery, was constructed. At the same time, the national railway company added high-speed rail links between Brussels and other major European cities such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Cologne.
The Brussels national airport is at Zaventem, to the east. A beltway (the grande ceinture) surrounds Greater Brussels, forming a hub of radiating highways that connect the major cities of Belgium. Vital canals also link the capital to Charleroi, to the south, and Antwerp, to the north.

Unfaithfully Yours: The Linux Version
Jul 29, 2013 5:00 AM PT
The dog days of summer may best be endured at a leisurely pace, but for those of us here in the sweltering Northern reaches of the Linux blogosphere, that simply hasn't been an option.
Far from being the lazy month many typically expect, July has brought not only a fiery debate over codes of conduct among kernel programmers but also the launch of Canonical's ambitious Ubuntu Edge crowdfunding campaign -- followed immediately by a massive hack attack on the Ubuntu forums.
'The Chutzpah Oscar of the Year'
Is there to be no rest for the weary -- and sweaty?
That'll be a big "no," Linux Girl is sorry to report. The good news, however, is that the air conditioning is on "high" and the tequila on "strong" down at the blogosphere's popular Broken Windows Lounge.
Canonical's Ubuntu Edge project, not surprisingly, generated some strong opinions.
"Mark [Shuttleworth] should win the chutzpah Oscar of the year," opined Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol, for example. "How can he, in a straight face, ask for donations for his pet project, from a community he only remembers when he wants something in return?"
Meanwhile, the Canonical founder "neglects the same community he's asking money from," Ebersol added. "Terrible. That man only causes dissent and fractures the GNU/Linux community. We would do pretty fine without him."
'What Causes You to Leave a Distro?'
Canonical's bold maneuver seemed to elicit the full range of opinions from Linux bloggers -- not to mention spurring a competing campaign from the Free Software Foundation -- but the favorite topic du jour down at the Broken Windows Lounge was in a different vein altogether. Namely? Distro hopping.
"What we want to know this fortnight is: what causes you to leave a distro and install a new flavor of Linux?" wrote the always-marvelous mavens over at TuxRadar. "Is it that you just fancy a change? Perhaps you find something lacking, or hardware support that's just not up to par.
"Has your distro of choice changed as you've gained more experience in Linux, or has a new distro appeared that eclipsed your previous favorite?" the TuxRadar team added.
Perhaps it was the comfort of a familiar topic, but TuxRadar's latest Open Ballot poll has had numerous tongues wagging ever since. Linux Girl couldn't resist asking her fellow patrons: Are you a distro hopper?
'If It Works, Why Switch?'
"No, I am not a distribution hopper," said Robin Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor. "I use Ubuntu 12.04 with the GNOME 3 shell. One in a while I check out the latest Fedora release -- mainly during the Christmas holidays."
Lim used to be more adventurous a decade ago, he told Linux Girl, "but these days, if it works, why switch?
"Another one might boot a few seconds faster or use a few hundred megabytes less RAM," Lim explained. "In the long run, I think most people really would not feel the benefit of those things."
'Once Upon a Time, I Was'
Similarly, "nope, I am not a distro hopper," Linux Rants blogger Mike Stone asserted.
"My first instinct when I read that question was to say unequivocally, YES!" Stone explained. Then, "after thinking for two seconds, I realize that's no longer the case.
"Once upon a time, I was -- I loved trying out distros," he recalled. "I'd go through more distros in a week than there were days, but somewhere in there, I stopped hopping."
Stone's main computer now runs Xfce on Ubuntu 12.04, and "it has been since the day after 12.04 was released," Stone noted. "I'm happy with this distro, and I'm happy with my current configuration. It's just comfortable to me."
'I Used to Be'
Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza had a similar tale to tell.
"I've been with Ubuntu since Dapper now," Espinoza told Linux Girl. "Every time I think about switching, they bring out a new release which fixes my bugs, or at least a workaround is easy to locate.
"PPAs keep me on the platform," he added. "I'll follow whatever is popular simply due to the mass of support, but that's been Ubuntu for a long time."
Consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack has also reined in his hopping ways.
"I used to be," he admitted. "I started with Slackware in the 90s but then moved to Red Hat and even tried SuSE before settling on Debian and staying there."
'I Come Back to Kubuntu'
Similarly, "every once in a while I feel like I ought to try another distro, but in short order I come back to Kubuntu," Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien offered.
"For me, it is something I am comfortable with, and I can get my work done easily," O'Brien explained. "There was a time when I enjoyed working on my computer, fiddling with settings, trying new things out, but I have gradually moved to where I want to work with my computer and just get things done.
"Kubuntu does that for me with no fuss," he added.
The End Point
Blogger Robert Pogson recounted a similar history.
"I used to be a distro hopper," Pogson began. "I have used these distros, in about this order: Caldera, Loaf, TomsRtBt, Mandrake, Fedora, K12LTSP, Slackware, Knoppix, Ubuntu, SmoothWall, EndianFirewall, SystemRescueCD and Debian GNU/Linux.
"Debian GNU/Linux gives me what I need, but I still use some other special distros for infrastructure, networking, backup and such," he explained. "I did find Ubuntu GNU/Linux useful at one time but finally discovered that the 'difficult for the newbie' Debian GNU/Linux was not difficult at all."
Today, "I guess I am a distro hopper still, but the hopping I do now is to try Debian GNU/Linux with different configurations or flavors in and out of virtual machines," Pogson added. "I have no need to go anywhere else."
Eventually, he concluded, "distro hopping reaches an end point where the energy spent on hopping is better spent learning more about GNU/Linux and some particular distro."
'They Go Together'
Chris Travers, a blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project, also had more than one favorite.
"I don't hop distros," Travers told Linux Girl. "I stick with three distros or so on an ongoing basis: Fedora, Debian and CentOS, though I am looking at switching to Scientific Linux for that role."
The three are "quite different in their maintenance models, so they go together in terms of long-term development very well," Travers explained.
"Debian provides a flexible, stable base for production servers, while Fedora provides an opportunity to catch problems with new dependencies quickly that would not be caught sticking in more conservative systems," he added. "CentOS allows me generally to check compatibility in Red Hat Enterprise Linux workalikes."
'A Matter of Convenience'
Distro hopping is "a good thing if one is going to exploit certain characteristics of the new distro one is switching to," Google+ blogger Rodolfo Saenz agreed. "In my case, I have two distros in my computers: one that satisfies my working demands (Fedora) and one for my needs at home (Ubuntu).
"To me it is a matter of convenience," he added. "I'm not a hopper, I am a natural keeper :)"
Google+ blogger Brett Legree had come to a similar conclusion.
"When I first started using Linux back in 2000, I tried a lot of different distros," Legree told Linux Girl. "As I learned and Linux continued to improve, I went through various periods where I settled on one main distro and only moved out of interest."
Mandrake, Gentoo, Slackware (with FreeBSD on the side), Ubuntu and openSUSE have all been along Legree's path, he said.
Today, "my mainstays are not GNU/Linux distros, but Linux-based operating systems -- Android and Chrome OS, via my phone, tablet and Chromebook," Legree noted. "The twist is that I contribute to GNOME Marketing, so I pretty much stick with Fedora's latest release (and also Rawhide) in VMs."
'You Can and Will Experiment'
Indeed, "we do change and 'evolve,'" noted Google+ blogger Gonzalo Velasco C., whose own distro journey has included Conectiva, Caldera, Mandrake, SuSE, Knoppix, Kurumin, Poseidon, Ubuntu, SolusOS, SolydXK, Epidemic and PCLinuxOS. "The first distro we use depends on somebody suggesting it to us, or if we are following the trend on a specialized Web page.
"You use it and like it, and since GNU/Linux is GNU/Linux and you can find the same thing somewhere else, you can and will experiment with another distro or another desktop environment on the same distro," he explained.
"Viva el GNU/Linux!!" Gonzalo Velasco C. added.
The Taco Bell Connection
Slashdot blogger hairyfeet wasn't so sure.
"When I look at DistroWatch, all I can think of is ... Taco Bell," hairyfeet said. "It sure LOOKS like there is choice, but there isn't -- it's the same four or five ingredients, just in a different order."
In fact, "how many distros does this generic description describe," hairyfeet asked. "'New distro with (insert KDE, GNOME, Xfce) desktop; for applications you have LibreOffice, GIMP; and for the browser, Chromium or Firefox.' I bet I just covered a good 70 percent of the distros right there!"
Bottom line: "DistroWatch has become like ModDB was when DOOM was a hit: You'd have guys change a few textures and offer a 'new mod' that was, down to the last enemy, the same old game, just a couple of textures swapped or replaced."
'Distros Are Like Marriages'
Last but not least, Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol had a more optimistic take.
"Distros are like marriages," Ebersol told Linux Girl. "They are never perfect, but once you find the person you love, you got to stick with that person. Sure, she (or he) will have bad breath in the morning, ugly face on wake up, but, that's the life of adult married people.
"It's not always shiny and happy, but, that's what love is about," he concluded. "Know what you don't like in a person and still love and want to care and be with them."

Driver who crashed into Hayden school identified
Steamboat Springs — Dented pickups, bent street signs and vehicle parts lined Jefferson Avenue in downtown Hayden on Tuesday night as a large crowd gathered near the parking lot of Hayden Middle School.
In the center of the chaos was a 1998 Ford Expedition buried in one of the school's empty classrooms. The brick wall and window that made up the outside wall of the room were gone, and the blinds covering the window partially blocked the view of the white SUV that was inside the classroom.
According to a crash report issued by Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Scott Elliott, who declined to comment on a possible cause of the accident, the incident began at about 4:55 p.m. when the driver of the vehicle, 26-year-old Richard Bomar Jr., of Hayden, was driving west on U.S. Highway 40 (Jefferson Avenue) at Chestnut Street when he rear-ended a 2012 Chevrolet 1500 pickup driven by 39-year-old Carl Bell, of Craig.
Bell was traveling less than the speed limit at the time because of slower traffic in front of him. After crashing into the back of Bell's Chevy, Bomar continued west and rear-ended a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500, which was slowing and preparing to turn left at Poplar Street.
After striking the Dodge, which was driven by 46-year-old Darrin Dunkley, of Hayden, Bomar continued west and drove onto the sidewalk on the right side of U.S. 40 before striking a sign, a light pole and a planter. The Expedition then crossed Poplar Street where it struck another sign and entered a parking lot of a business where it struck a 1995 Dodge Ram 3500, which was pushed into a parked 2002 Ford 150. Neither of the vehicles was occupied at the time.
The Expedition then veered to the left, crossing all lanes of U.S. 40 and running through a fence and into a parked utility trailer. Debris from the collision struck and damaged another trailer adjacent to the first. The Expedition continued through the parking lot, striking another sign, shrubs and then finally running into the school where it ended up inside a classroom.
Hayden Superintendent Mike Luppes said structural engineers and an asbestos mitigation company would be at the middle school within the next couple of days to examine the damage.
Luppes said he expects crews might have to address some asbestos issues in the dated building, and although he doesn't think the incident caused any major structural damage, he wants to make sure before students and staff return for the school year. Teachers are scheduled to start Aug. 26, and students will return Sept. 3.
Luppes said the cost of the damage is unknown, but he was hopeful repairs would be completed by the time school starts. If that's not the case, he said, the school simply would make a few adjustments and work around the construction.
"There is really only one classroom that was impacted," Luppes said. "We may have to move a few things around, but that's no big deal."
Bomar was able to walk away from the accident, according to the State Patrol. There were no injuries to any of the drivers, and there was no one in the classroom at the time of the crash.
Bomar was issued a summons for careless driving. He was not arrested, and District Attorney Brett Barkey said he would await the accident report from the State Patrol before pursuing charges.
A message left for Bomar was not returned.
State Patrol was assisted in its investigation by officers from the Hayden Police Department and the Routt County Sheriff's Office as well as the 14th Judicial District Attorney's Office, the West Routt Fire Protection District and the Hayden School District.

association with traditional practices;
3. Further requests the State Party to undertake as soon as possible a survey of vernacular buildings;
4. Encourages the State Party to compile an accessible history of the colonisation process drawing on contemporary documentation to explain the political, social, economic and visionary thinking behind the project, the involvement of artists and architects, and the way the area was subsequently managed, in order that the
full significances of the area can be understood and sustained;
5. Further encourages the State Party to put in place an assessment of the condition of natural elements that affect the landscape of the park, such as soil, vegetation
and water management, in order to inform sustainable management practices.

🔗 We explore if modern crime music is its latest manifestation.
🔗 This year.
🔗 Art institutions across London have been marking the fortieth anniversary of the
🔗 Sex Pistols first single Anneke in the U.K.
🔗 Released in one thousand nine hundred eighty six this date is being read as the
🔗 symbolic beginning of British punk rock the Museum of London the British Fashion
🔗 Council the British Film Institute the British Library.
🔗 Among them have launched a whole year of events on shows called Punk London
🔗 but it is the very idea of commemoration at odds with the rebelliousness of punk
🔗 even a time establishment culture such as T.V.
🔗 Comedy
🔗 and newspapers were quick to mock punk symbols dressing up in fake safety pins
🔗 and bin bags but film did capture that time remarkably well concerts
🔗 and documentary footage of the getting ages as much as feature films like Derek
🔗 Jarman Jubilee the musician filmmaker and D.J.
🔗 Don let's remember how punks used to come to his reggae shop in London he became
🔗 involved in the Rock Against Racism campaign
🔗 that some musicians such as the clash Tom Robinson and X.
🔗 Ray spex rally against the far right National. Movement.
🔗 He curated season of films about punk for the B.S.I.
🔗 To reflect its diversity including one of his own documentaries punk attitude which
🔗 his contributions from amongst others see Glenn Matlock
🔗 and polystyrene Nichols
🔗 facial climate at the time in the seventy's was crucial to the formation of punk
🔗 rock because punk rock was talking about the dull here
🔗 and winter of discontent the fabric of society that time was
🔗 when we first thought it was in our eyes was falling apart.
🔗 We had a three day wait you had rubbish strikes you know everywhere you went if you
🔗 want bad news to talk about burying people
🔗 and say in the movie because your driver gives one so I mean it was a it was an
🔗 orchestrated it was like all these elements of people not being happy with what was
🔗 going on.
🔗 Some
🔗 people seem to look back on punk as if it was a very negative reaction to the kind
🔗 of the times the political times
🔗 and social times I guess I mean certainly in the to be a fight he curated you want
🔗 to emphasize the positive the creativity punk was never about nihilism and all
🔗 that stuff. It was about empowerment freedom
🔗 and individuality the whole negative thing really came through the media.
🔗 I mean they thought it was just about God being and Mohawks and safety pins
🔗 and I'm hoping that my film selection breaks down
🔗 that kind of narrow idea of what punks about.
🔗 I hope that it shows that it was all inclusive that it was empowering
🔗 that it was about individuality.
🔗 That's why it has the drawing the magnetism and the gravitas
🔗 that it has some of the usual suspects in or in there. But.
🔗 Westway to the world scene and Nancy.
🔗 And also the harder they come which to me is a representation of Jamaican punk
🔗 cinema is uniquely to sell the Jimmy Cliff film
🔗 and Jamaica's most famous film to show people
🔗 that the creation of reggae itself was Jamaica's punk rock moment I mean it
🔗 certainly takes all the punk bucks is I mean it was anti-establishment it certainly
🔗 had an attitude.
🔗 The people were not that technically skills
🔗 and I guess the connection between the two movements was the fact
🔗 that we were like minded rebels there was a particular Rock Against Racism concert
🔗 and people like X.
🔗 Ray specs and Tom Robinson performed that seems a very important moment
🔗 but take a given
🔗 that same much of people's imagery of punk now is Mohican Actually the odds with
🔗 the Caramba. Can you explain Rock Against Racism
🔗 and why it's important in the history of punk by the mid seventy's as a first
🔗 generation British born black I was definitely there.
🔗 I just felt alienated and pissed off but it seems
🔗 that by the mid seventy's society had managed to alienate a long white youth.
🔗 So that kind of drove us together.
🔗 And that it did drive away those people that wearing the Nazi swastikas
🔗 and things like that and certain people did make a stand
🔗 and say look if you're sporting that gay you can't be with us.
🔗 The Clash being won I think they told said look you know you can't hang with.
🔗 If you're wearing a swastika.
🔗 Even though you didn't really understand what it meant. Such was said.
🔗 And can you give me a sense of how those two styles reggae punk influenced each
🔗 other.
🔗 It's obvious what punk got from reggae to I liked the anti-establishment vibe
🔗 but I like the musical report tars quality of the lyrics.
🔗 What reggae got out of it was exposure.
🔗 And that's all it needed done I gather
🔗 that you had bought Molly she had an argument about punk rock.
🔗 Yeah well what happened in this in one thousand nine hundred seventy was staying in
🔗 the King's Road after being shot in Jamaica it was kind of an exile
🔗 and I had to kind of defend my white make in the whole scene and tell him Bob
🔗 and you. RONE you know there has been other men like minded rebels
🔗 and even sentiment.
🔗 Don't sit before you now as a little baby don't let little baby dreadlocks to
🔗 oppose but Bob was saying and stand my ground was very difficult.
🔗 Funnily enough three months later.
🔗 Bob was moved to write the tune punky reggae party with
🔗 everyone always talks to me about
🔗 that as a kind of quintessential funky reggae moment but there was one before
🔗 that nine hundred seventy five I become friends with Patti Smith.
🔗 She was a big Ray fan and she put the mike in marker.
🔗 At the Hammersmith Odeon Luckily for me I wear my dark glasses so people can tell I
🔗 was terrified and I break into my heaviest Jamaicans language
🔗 and went into this kind of rock star actually from one paralyzed them on dolls
🔗 or worship Babylon to my feet
🔗 and patches on the floor writhing around making sounds and all kinds of stuff
🔗 and to me that was the birth of the punky reggae party.
🔗 What would you say is the legacy of punk I'm struck we allow it to end Berlin
🔗 and weaving in the stodgy museum about teenage is just as punctual picked up
🔗 and you know interrogated
🔗 and set free education dressing even just dressing as a punk was an important
🔗 statement of rebellion in some of these totalitarian regimes wasn't it.
🔗 Yeah it's a very very brave move it was never meant to be a marketing device which
🔗 is dangerously close to being currently you know the me in this whole celebration
🔗 thing. In a pub was about helping you to be all you could be.
🔗 And luckily outside of the whole Western idea of what it's now become there are
🔗 people around the world of picking up the ball or running with it.
🔗 So you think the word punk
🔗 and its meaning is being reclaimed because a lot of people felt
🔗 that within a few years. You know it was reduced to the Mohican on postcards
🔗 and safety pin trees of Queens NY You know and there's things are being sold
🔗 and have been sold as a brand question. Absolutely. A very disturbing to me.
🔗 Buzzcocks chains being used to sell McDonald's Now you know it's all up for sale.
🔗 I say let them have that four letter word. Let's think of a new one.
🔗 Don let's punk on film is at the bare fine till the end of August
🔗 and Don's documentary punk attitude will be shown on Wednesday.
🔗 And Sid
🔗 and Nancy Alex Cox's masterpiece about Sid Vicious starring Gary Oldman has been
🔗 restored and is released in cinemas now.
🔗 If punk was about outsiders not conforming female musicians are in the vanguard.
🔗 And that's a legacy that continues today C.D.C.
🔗 With a severe makeup
🔗 and as a name clothes the slits for girls including their Albertine who taught
🔗 themselves to play instruments X.-Ray Spex polystyrene whose voice has been
🔗 described as effervescent Li discordant punk allowed women to defy the music
🔗 industry's notions of beauty
🔗 and sex appeal women even became the main protagonist of movies about the music
🔗 industry like Hazel O'Connor in one thousand nine hundred breaking glass.
🔗 She told front row how she remembered it
🔗 when I first went for the auditions for breaking glass during
🔗 that only written four songs up until then
🔗 and one of them was called William which was a really sucky song
🔗 and I was not going to show them because I felt that
🔗 that really showed my vulnerability.
🔗 I wrote most of the songs in a week.
🔗 Songs like monsters in the sky
🔗 before punk.
🔗 If you were not pretty.
🔗 If you didn't have a good pair of legs or a good pair of boobs
🔗 or a sexy all of those things they really mattered in the industry
🔗 and after punk you didn't have to be like
🔗 that we were just rejoicing in our energy
🔗 and punk for May and power. Just for a little bit of time.
🔗 Hazel O'Connor is there then a uniquely female experience of being a punk.
🔗 I spoke to Jess Allen explained to the punk band Calvin Louise she's twenty two
🔗 and grew up in South America
🔗 and Dr Helen Reddington also known as Helen McCooey book from
🔗 when she played with the chefs.
🔗 She's the author of the last women of rock music female musicians of the punk era
🔗 and is working on a documentary she Punk's women in punk.
🔗 Helen took me back to what it was like for women like her in the hot summer of
🔗 seventy six all happened very very quickly.
🔗 It was like a door suddenly opened and lots and lots of people rushed through
🔗 and suddenly found themselves singing and playing in really really exciting
🔗 and stimulating environments on a completely equal footing with with men
🔗 which is really really unusual.
🔗 What was changing musically and then also kind of socially
🔗 that women felt welcome and punk.
🔗 Well in
🔗 that mid seventy's period so many of the women were if they were musicians if they
🔗 were playing instruments they were kind of a little bit floaty they had to cue
🔗 stick guitars and they had nice voices and they were very pretty and
🔗 that wasn't that sort of idea of being a rock person
🔗 that was easy question he was quite well known
🔗 and what it was was a kind of opportunity not just to kind of sing things
🔗 that you felt concerned you but also to make that noise as well. Yourself as well.
🔗 So you were really doing everything rather than being a mouthpiece for anybody else
🔗 and
🔗 it was quite a politically divided Britain wasn't it
🔗 and leading up to the late seventy's that whole sense of strikes and antagonism.
🔗 Well it was terribly depressing our generation left school
🔗 or was about to leave school to absolutely nothing in terms of jobs
🔗 and because our parents had left.
🔗 School to a situation where you could leave a job on a Friday
🔗 and get a new one on a Monday they really didn't understand people absolutely
🔗 despised the younger generation really really despised us
🔗 and it's really not surprising that we made ourselves into the sing
🔗 that was despised we made ourselves look like monsters
🔗 and we made ourselves sound like monsters as well.
🔗 Girls were brought up to be seen and not heard
🔗 and we made ourselves heard in the words of Polish starring an X. Ray spec.
🔗 Some people think about it
🔗 but not how he was by the way she dressed the way she sang which was clearly not
🔗 conventional pretty singing is half Somali half English guy with braces.
🔗 I mean she seemed to represent exactly what you're talking about she was my all
🔗 time favorite person the lyrics of her songs were the sorts of things
🔗 that people my age spoke about and she was an illustration of the ways
🔗 that people of my generation wanted our world today.
🔗 We wanted to embrace people from different cultures.
🔗 We wanted to embrace different ways of looking you know like wearing your braces on
🔗 your teeth and not being ashamed in that kind of thing and X.
🔗 Ray specs and Polly did all
🔗 that someone growing up on presumably in the one nine hundred ninety
🔗 S. I wonder what how you came to identify with punk
🔗 and how you see it you know I grew up in South America.
🔗 So the only place where we could be free like young people could do stuff
🔗 was either going to parties that were boring
🔗 or playing music because was the only safe place where with good feel
🔗 and punk music was about that about feeling that you can be free
🔗 and express yourself without any consequence no way because you're making your own
🔗 rules and the beginning when I started playing music. I had a lot of friends.
🔗 Male friends US are speaking to me about the slates about Durango this
🔗 and about most.
🔗 Van Slyke zero seven hole
🔗 and just telling me how these women have changed history for people like me for
🔗 younger generations in terms of the music
🔗 when you talk about bands like the slits of the raincoats then
🔗 when you listen to that music from forty years ago.
🔗 What is it about it that has gripped you.
🔗 Roll is wrong and right now everything has to be polished
🔗 and perfect order to learn
🔗 that doesn't mean being an artist be an artist just means expressing yourself
🔗 and being real. And that's what I felt listening to records in the sleeve.
🔗 want to ask about the concept of aggression and context
🔗 and it's twofold One is the idea of these women I remember seeing them at the time
🔗 you know with the shaved kind of the Mohicans and the piercings
🔗 and the bondage gear which looked incredibly aggressive
🔗 and yet also hearing stories from women had been banned about the violence in the
🔗 threats of violence they got a lot of the aggression was actually a bit of a kind
🔗 of keep off message.
🔗 I had a big problem
🔗 when I was actually writing doing my original research because I came across so
🔗 many rapes and so much sexual violence
🔗 and I went to one of my supervisors matter didn't know what to do about this
🔗 because I don't want to write a book about this.
🔗 I want to write a book about musicians and she said you're not writing about
🔗 that times you're writing about survivors.
🔗 It's interesting
🔗 that very valid perty made a statement quite recently at one of the big events
🔗 around the kind of commemorations we can call it that celebrations of punk
🔗 and about how women did seem to be airbrushed out of the history
🔗 and also you said the door shut.
🔗 Quite early on when I just wonder if you can explain a bit more about
🔗 that the music industry likes things that they can sell
🔗 and it's within the whole idea of on the case that you can't sell it. The music.
🔗 Industry is actually really alarmed by the most in our Kate band which was the Sex
🔗 Pistols. But there was such a lot of an icky and women getting up
🔗 and playing instruments it's not what we were supposed to do so.
🔗 The music industry.
🔗 Pretty soon signed people up and tell them to put that this happened for me.
🔗 Put your instrument down let's have a photograph of you without your instrument.
🔗 Everything was trying to suppress you just I want to hold looks to you now
🔗 when you're also fighting some of those bands in the ninety's
🔗 and the right girl bands like hole who themselves hark back to the seventy's has
🔗 anything really changed.
🔗 Well I think there's been a change because I've seen so many so many grade
🔗 frog bands say for example no between our urban punk and they they are amazing
🔗 and there are a lot of bands like that
🔗 and I feel like he's becoming normal in this scene maybe not as normal as
🔗 everyone wish I feel like people like Helen and you know birch
🔗 and the vulgar teen you have done somethin for the new generation
🔗 and it shows.
🔗 Jess Allen and Dr Helen Reddington
🔗 and the compilation album Lost the life which includes Hazel O'Connor's music is
🔗 out now. Beyond the music.
🔗 Arguably even more than the music the most enduring fact of the punk movement comes
🔗 from the iconography as any significant underground scene it's legacy only becomes
🔗 part of the collective consciousness to document Taishan and it says black
🔗 and white images of bands along with images of everyday punk sporting Mohicans
🔗 liberty Spike studded leather jackets and Doc Martens that have stayed with us.
🔗 Enabling those of us who weren't part of the scene to share in it.
🔗 So which underground scene is carrying on punks mantle today
🔗 and who is documenting it.
🔗 Well one contender for the inheritance comes from the states of East London front
🔗 row met the performers and the image makers from the world of grime music.
🔗 The Empire we have.
🔗 You know when the bottom line is a really called Vision
🔗 or to define you know a lot of people want to say that it's the U.K.
🔗 Don't to hip hop and I think that's incorrect it's a completely different thing.
🔗 Crimes like the poetry of pain.
🔗 It's really intelligent use of slang.
🔗 It's an amazing way for people to put together the stories of their own existence
🔗 and to be a Rhodes
🔗 and say I have shot one hundred seventy one gram MC I've come in now in twenty
🔗 sixteen to document a moment that is happening now
🔗 and maybe in forty years somebody will look back at my pictures and.
🔗 It will resonate that the beginning of two thousand and sixteen was
🔗 when the mainstream audience picked up on growing those people who could
🔗 misconstrue the idea of kind of these guys together every once in a herd.
🔗 Most of them a block you know you can't get away from
🔗 that race is a massive factor
🔗 and grime these guys all come from the same social standing.
🔗 They come from the same walk of life working hard for fifteen years
🔗 and they've always had a dedicated following they've always had people documenting
🔗 the same as Tim and Barry's. Simon Wheatley you and Spencer.
🔗 I think the comparison between growing
🔗 and punk is definitely an interesting one that by D.I.Y.
🔗 Generous that come from a youth culture of restlessness
🔗 and anti-establishment anti-government anti everything
🔗 that is telling you how to live your life and
🔗 that is exactly the same as punk you know
🔗 but I think forty years ago nobody had that i Phone.
🔗 Nobody had this instant upload viral way of creating imagery and video
🔗 and now in twenty sixteen that we do have.
🔗 There's a really interesting question as to what is iconic in an image is an iconic
🔗 image the one that somebody shot in the pitch.
🔗 On the i Phone that's now gone viral.
🔗 Or is it something where somebody has taken them aside shot them seriously in
🔗 inverted commas back in the day you had you had photographers like Nick Knight who
🔗 did a massive body of work on the scene as punk
🔗 and I think nowadays it's less conscious the way people shoot
🔗 and there are definitely photographers in the scene now you are amassing bodies of
🔗 work that have immediate and direct platforms.
🔗 So I'm just sitting at my computer now and I'm looking at an image
🔗 that Nick Knight shot.
🔗 It's an image of one of the punk is and he's got his the back of his head to us
🔗 and he's got both hands of cost around the back of his head.
🔗 You can see the tattoos on his hands
🔗 and instantly are a parallel with one of the images I shot of school.
🔗 Who is actually one of the more handsome grime MC's So the natural inclination is
🔗 to shoot his face but he was really into.
🔗 Working with me as a photographer and he sat down
🔗 and he started putting his hands over his face
🔗 and actually sometimes those are the most powerful images and I think
🔗 that that's something that Nick Knight actually was already successful in doing
🔗 and taking full of the random punk youth
🔗 and elevating them to to all high on George Mason people.
🔗 No more homeless so many people where the founders of trying to stop the project
🔗 would you call it. I've been listening to growing for ten to twelve years
🔗 and I've been involved with the music for five days.
🔗 I've been listening to Gram since I was around thirteen fourteen
🔗 and I used to want to be an MC and I stuff like that but then go to all that
🔗 and I've spoken places and said
🔗 that a move would you call it is to document from all authentic perspective
🔗 what's going on currently in LA people are actually glitz and glamour
🔗 and people saw the shows in the fun parts of it
🔗 but then I think the whole Not much part of it.
🔗 The people tried their best to capture that last week
🔗 and we're now off to make up early. Who's and see.
🔗 Just in the ground seems like you feel if you want to roll able to Freo we might
🔗 fall back on the road by typing it like you do with the real

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys' confidence in quarterback Tony Romo remains high, even as he leads the NFL with 13 interceptions and with his team's record at 3-4.
Cowboys COO Stephen Jones reiterated his trust and faith in Romo, during Thursday's practice, after the quarterback's rollercoaster near-comeback against the New York Giants on Sunday. He believes his quarterback will continue to improve and stated that there are many reasons, besides Romo, for the turnover issues.
Asked about his confidence level in Romo, Jones said, it's "high."
"We have a lot of confidence in Tony," Jones said. "That game is a perfect example. There's a lot of quarterbacks that would've had a hard time rallying from that type of adversity. Gotta give him a lot of credit. I think he's going to get better. There's a lot of quarterbacks that it doesn't happen right away for them in terms of winning championships and that type of thing. You don't have to look any further than the Hall of Famers, (John) Elway and (Brett) Favre. The (championships) came late in their careers. They had some of the same issues that Tony's had. They had some really great games and then they had some tough ones in terms of turning it over and that type of thing. So, we got a lot of confidence in Tony. Tony has a lot of confidence in himself. And he's going to be fine."
Romo did lead the Cowboys back from a 23-0 deficit to nearly win it with a 37-yarder to Dez Bryant that eventually was ruled out of bounds after review. But he also helped them climb into the hole with four picks. Through seven games, Romo already has more interceptions that he had in 16 games in 2011. His passer rating of 78.8 is on pace to be a career-low.
"He's not the problem," said Jones, who believes Romo is still the team's future at the position. "He'll thrive."

Duck Confit and Morel Mushroom Ravioli Filling Recipe
I went through my pantry and freezer and thought it was time to do a little spring cleaning. I decided to make ravioli and filled them with the duck confit I had in the freezer, along with ricotta cheese, Pecorino cheese, cider, apples, morel mushrooms and tarragon.
I ended up making two large batches of the homemade pasta: one vegetarian and one with the shredded duck inside. My preference leans toward the meat version, but my husband Lulu who's a vegetarian enjoyed the other version as much as I did!
Yields: 6 servings½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup semolina flour
1 whole egg, at room temperature
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup olive oil
1½ teaspoons fresh tarragon, chopped
¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
¼ ounce dried morel mushrooms
1 duck leg confit (optional if vegetarian), shredded
½ Red Delicious apple, diced
¾ cup apple cider
6 ounces ricotta cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons Pecorino cheese, grated
½ yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons salted butter
Prepping the dried morel mushrooms: Put the dried mushrooms in a small bowl and pour a scant cup of room temperature water over them. Soak until softened for at least 3 hours. Remove the mushrooms, straining the soaking liquid through a fine-mesh and setting the liquid aside. Rinse the mushrooms in several water baths and finely chop. Set aside.
Dried morel mushrooms.
How to make the pasta sheets:
In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the egg with sugar.
In a large mixing bowl, add 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, semolina flour and ¼ teaspoon salt. Form a well and place the egg mixture into the indentation. Form a dough ball and knead the dough until combined. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Cover with a damp towel, place the bowl in a warm spot and let rest for about 1 hour.
The dough should be neither too sticky nor too dry. Dust a flat work space (or a board) with a generous amount of all-purpose flour. Roll out the dough ball with a rolling pin, then pass through a pasta roller machine, using the thickest setting. Dust the pasta sheet with a little flour on both sides to prevent it from sticking to the machine. Repeat 2-3 times. For the last time through, use setting "5" of the KitchenAid flat roller pasta attachment. Cut into about 2¾" squares. Using the remaining dough, roll back into the pasta roller and form more squares.
Cover with a damp kitchen towel while preparing the ravioli filling.
For the ravioli filling:
In a non-stick pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Add the apples, morel mushrooms, tarragon and the shredded duck (if using). Pour in ¾ cup cider and the reserved mushroom liquid, bring to a boil and cook until the liquid evaporates. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
In the same mixing bowl, add the ricotta cheese and Pecorino cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Forming the ravioli: Place a wrapper on the work surface. Place a small mound of mushroom ricotta filling (about 2 teaspoons) in the middle of the ravioli. Dip your finger in a small bowl of water and moisten around the edge of the ravioli wrapper. Cover with another wrapper. Seal by pressing firmly using a 2½-inch rectangle ravioli stamp (or you could form them with a ravioli maker). Chill in the refrigerator (up to 3-4 days) if preparing in advance.
Boiling the ravioli: Fill a large stockpot with water and bring to a boil. As soon as the pasta is cooked (floats to the surface but is still in shape and firm), salt the water, lower the heat and immediately drain and transfer to a serving platter.
Assembly time:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and cook until it starts to brown. Drizzle the butter over the pasta. Sprinkle with salt and more Pecorino cheese.
Serve immediately.
Bon appétit!
This recipe yields exactly 24 ravioli.
