Over 100 top state GOPers endorse Gov. Sam Brownback's Democratic opponent after tax cuts for wealthy devastate state...
By Ernest A. Canning on 7/17/2014, 9:00am PT

The Washington Post recently reported that more "than 100 current and former [Kansas] Republican officials [have] endorsed Democratic state Rep. Paul Davis [in his] bid to unseat Gov. Sam Brownback (R)."

The website of the group that refers to itself as the "Republicans for Kansas Values," reveals that the source of their revolt can be found in what the LA Times' Michael Hiltzik described as Brownback's draconian "Tea Party tax cuts," enacted in the name of economic "freedom" that have, he says, benefited only the wealthy and have turned the Sunflower State "into a smoking ruin."

As we once described in "'Tea Party' Future: Fascism, Feudalism, Economic Collapse", that "smoking ruin" was not unexpected. But neither was the revulsion of traditionally conservative Kansas Republicans to Brownback's application of the Koch brothers' radical brand of libertarianism...

The tax cuts, which Brownback claimed would "pay for themselves," have, from the perspective of both fairness and good government, been an unmitigated disaster.

While income taxes were "eliminated for a select class of higher income" citizens, according to Republicans for Kansas Values, Brownback actually raised taxes on middle and lower income families, who also suffered from a regressive sales tax increase and the elimination of tax credits --- all the while increasing the state's debt load by $800 million in three years. The dissenting Republicans further assert that Brownback sought to conceal the deficit by shifting "more than $1.1 billion from the State Transportation Fund to the State General Fund."

Where Brownback, like George W. Bush before him, promised the tax cuts would create job growth, the dissenting Republicans assert that Kansas was one of only five states "to lose employment during the six month period ending May 1, 2014."

The result: Moody's Investor Services downgraded the state's credit rating beginning in May of 2014, citing their tax cuts and inability to pay for them.

Hiltzik adds:

The state's rainy-day fund is dwindling to zero. Month after month, revenue comes in even lower than fiscal officials' most dire expectations.

In the rest of the country, school budgets are finally beginning to recover from the toll of the last recession; in Kansas, they're still falling. Healthcare, assistance for the poor, courts, and other state services are being eviscerated.

Hiltzik's only mistake is to refer to Brownback's policies as deep "Tea Party tax cuts." The ideology behind those policies long predated the so-called "Tea Party." They are, in fact, an application of the Koch brothers' radical brand of libertarianism --- a philosophy that extols individual greed, expressed as individual liberty, as a virtue that should never be sacrificed to "the common good."

The Koch brothers simply do not accept the core purpose of government recognized by the U.S. Constitution --- "to promote the general welfare."

The fact that conservative Kansas Republicans are repulsed by the Koch brand of libertarianism --- even as Koch Industries is based in Wichita --- is hardly novel.

After the 1980 campaign, in which David Koch ran for Vice President of the United States on a "Libertarian Party platform [that called] for the abolition" of most federal agencies, including the FBI, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Energy, "abolition of Social Security, minimum-wage laws…and all personal and corporate income taxes" and for reducing government to the singular function of protecting "individual rights," renowned conservative columnist William F. Buckley, Jr. referred to the Kochs and their brand of Libertarianism as "Anarcho-Totalitarianism."

It is rather obvious that the true "conservatives" in the Kansas Republican Party do not share the Kochs' desire to destroy the economy and the government's ability to promote the general welfare simply to protect the Kochs' "liberty" to enhance their already obscene family fortune.

There May Be A Huge Sexual Benefit To Back Dimples

This article originally appeared and was published on

Dimples: Chances are, if you don’t have them, you want them.

Looking at the celebrities smiles of Miranda Kerr and Jennifer Garner, dimples seem to be a facial feature many wish they inherited. We’ve even heard stories of people using makeup or biting the insides of their mouths in hopes of achieving the popular look.

Dimples can be described as natural facial indentations — some scientists attribute dimples to the
“shorter muscles near the cheeks,” according to Bright Hub. Others believe it’s due to variations in the “Zygomaticus major muscle.”

But some people want dimples so badly that they are willing to go under the knife for it.

“Dimpleplasties” have been on the rise for years, and involve plastic surgeons taking “chunks” from the insides of their patient’s cheeks.

As facial dimple surgeries continue to rise, so do dimple surgeries on the lower back. A sign of a “healthy” body, “Venus dimples” sit right at the base of the spine. And just like facial dimples, people are flocking to the plastic surgeon to replicate the indentations of Kendall Jenner and other models.

Dimples on the lower back don’t just mean you’re healthy, but they are also “indicators of good health and a screaming sex-life,” according to The Sun. The publication explained that dimples help “facilitate good circulation,” and thus make it easier for women to orgasm.

Dr. Amanda Wong-Powell, from London, explained the aesthetic reason behind the surgery.

“The lower back has always been championed as a beautiful region of the female body. However, with the rise of aesthetic surgery of the buttocks, many people are realizing that lifted buttocks only look good if paired with a sexy sculpted lower back – one fails to look good without the other,” she said to The Sun.

But surgery to replicate the diamond-shaped indents come at a hefty price — beginning at £4,900 (over $6300). Ouch!

Tele Town Hall confirms importance of BramptonU

On December 13, Brampton residents were invited to participate in the Telephone Town Hall to get updates and ask questions about BramptonU.

The event was hosted by Mayor Patrick Brown and several Brampton Councillors. Also participating were local MPP Amarjot Sandhu and MPP and Associate Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction Prabmeet Sarkaria.

At its peak, more than 14,000 Brampton residents connected to this town hall. Participants had a chance to ask questions or make comments – with most expressing support for a university in Brampton and a strong desire to make it happen as soon as possible.

During the Telephone Town Hall, participants were asked to respond to several polling questions.

Here's what's important to you...

of participants said it was very important that Brampton have its own university, with another 8% finding it somewhat important

of participants said it was very important that a university program is easy to access by potential students at any stage of life, and 12% said it was somewhat important

said it was very important that a university program is easy to access through a mix of 24/7 online learning and in-class learning, while another 11% said it was somewhat important

We’re working to build Brampton’s own, full, degree-granting university, offering and mix of undergraduate and graduate degree programs, providing skills development for the jobs of tomorrow.

We’re working to design BramptonU to be able to offer flexible program delivery. University programming should be accessible no matter what stage of life you’re at – whether you can commit to full-time learning, or you are adding skills as you progress your career.

And, we believe BramptonU should offer an easy-to-access blend of online and in-class learning, adding to flexibility and aligned with students’ learning preferences.

That’s what Brampton residents want, and deserve.

Just like Dr. Brogan’s A Mind Of Your Own, the following book is one that the mainstream media won’t touch.  The data provided is too important, too thought-provoking, too paradigm shifting for the mainstream press to get involved, which is why it will take a grassroots effort to get the information out there.  And it will get out there.

Within the alternative media there are many people putting out great information.  Then, there are others who have raised the bar of credibility a bit higher.  Mike Adams is one of the latter.

Food Forensics is a veritable dissertation into many of the dangers we as individuals face in respect to the myriad toxins that people are subjected to within food.   Those data point are why this book shines.

Adams takes a methodical approach outlining the many dangers involved with the foods that he’s tested in a manner that is sensible, responsible, and credible.

All the information provided might seem shocking to some, but unfortunately this is definitely ‘par for the course’ given the relentless onslaught of toxins we face in our daily lives from establishment corporations et al.

Throughout each page, the reader can certainly follow the concern that Adams has for the noxious substances some people are exposing themselves too.

The book is laid out in a pretty straight forward no-nonsense way.  Adams provides more than ample information that can be digested [no pun intended] by the reader and thoroughly pondered.  It’s really a vital issue  given how many people are being exposed to these deleterious substances.

Topics covered within the first part of the book are heavy metals such Aluminum, Lead, Mercury and more, chemical contaminants such as Bisphenol A [BPA], food toxins such as Aspartame, MSG, molecular alteration of food, and much more.

The second part of the book features how individuals can detox, while the third part details extensive data regarding all sorts of food and toxins.  After reading this part individuals will think twice about many of the foods that out there.

As individuals, it’s imperative to be proactive and boycott ALL BUSINESSES that that will put their profits over your health.  Not only that, but we need to let others know what’s wrong.  This is too important not to spark fires of curiosity in other individuals.

How the health of our society looks many years from now will be highly dependent on what proactive and inquisitive individuals inform themselves about.  Books such as this make it possible not only to harpoon core issues that affect all of us, but also sets the template for how to live an inherently healthier life.

Fourth Kaleidoscopic Arts Platform – Review

In keeping with the ethos of taking dance to places or public spaces that normally don’t showcase such activities, Kaleidoscopic Arts’ Lucia Schweigert & Konstantina Skalionta have brought the 4th Kaleidoscope Arts Platform to Wilditch Community Centre in Battersea.  The evening embraced  a wide selection of disciplines – some rooted in centuries-old ideas – but all brimming with ideas and artistic intention.

The first performance of the evening (Pibroch Tales) was inspired by the 17th century bagpipe music of ‘high culture’. With choreography by Jayne Port and dancing by Gordon Douglas Raeburn, the musical extracts to untutored ears sounded avant-garde in terms of their stripped down nature, especially on the occasions  when they were reproduced vocally. In any case, each short excerpt performed highlighted a different facet of three stories from The Kilberry Book of Coel Mor.

The second performance of the evening, double pendulum, was choreographed by Helen Cox. Performed by Cox and Andrew Oliver, the physical motion and mechanics of such an object was analysed and used as a jumping off point for anthropomorphic movement. Akin to the movement of planetary bodies, the circular movements of limbs mirrored the movement of feet. Sometimes exactly in tandem, sometimes holding to one’s own rhythm, each person exerted their gravity, propelling or pulling the other to one’s self.

Kathy Richardson performing Lucia Schweigert’s Living With Sin

After the first interval, Lucia Schweigert showcased a piece she choreographed entitled Living With Sin. Performed Katy Richardson, the dance was meant to be a kinetic representation of the Biblical Eve and the ‘legacy’ that has befallen all women all some under the male hegemony. Initially dressed in ‘virginal’ white, the fecund, experienced Eve dresses in red, before dressing in black in her twilight years. Asides from being truncated version of the stages of life, the transitional clothing of white, red and black is certainly applicable to the literary character Lady Macbeth. However, for my money, I thought the most obvious links to this dance were the women in the plays of Federico García Lorca – especially Blood Wedding and The House of Bernarda Alba.

L-R clockwise: Sophie Thorpe, Lucia Chocarro, Patricia Zafra and Robyn Holder

The final piece of the evening (The Way They Were Then) was performed by the four-strong all-female troupe Feet Off The Ground. Inspired by Mujeres – a collection of short stores about women by Uruguayan journalist Eduardo Galeano, three separate ‘episodes’ were performed and choreographed by Lucia Chocarro, Robyn Holder, Sophie Thorpe and Patricia Zafra. To one side of the room, Chocarro was sitting quietly making origami sculptures, while at the other, the antithesis of this stillness was taking place – with Zafra and Thorpe routinely catching Holder who leapt into their arms, before she breaking away again and running towards the audience. The troupe made use the whole performance space and certainly ‘let rip’. This was the most dynamic piece of the evening, especially with the live score performed on a number of instruments by Alex Baton, taking the ambience to another level.

After the second interval, a Q&A session took place. Unlike other Q&A sessions I’ve been to in the past, this one had the panel (made up of the choreographers and dancers who took part) asking the audience lots of questions about their response to their work (were they able to ascertain what was going on, etc). I suppose in one sense it’s no different to answering questionnaires, but talking to someone face-to-face is much more engaging than having to write a response. I think it’s fair to say that it was very enlightening for all concerned.

As well as the dance performances themselves, patrons were able to take to peruse Elisabeth Schilling’s STADTKÖRPER photo exhibition at the back of the hall, which depicted elements of dance in relation to unusual aspects of Berlin – further cementing the century-old relationship of photography with one of oldest of the Arts.

15 favorite historic sites across Boston: Old State House

It was the site of the Boston Massacre in 1770, where five Bostonians were killed when British soldiers fired unordered shots. Now, nearly 250 years later, the Old State House is the perfect tourist attraction to soak up some of the history of the city.

Doubling fees under fire in Denver

oboe and English horn

The Colorado Symphony Orchestra, like so many others, is facing a financial crisis that threatens its ability to continue making music. An opinion piece in Sunday’s Denver Post criticizes the Denver Musicians’ Association (AFM Local 20-623) for its unwillingness to budge on certain elements of its agreement with the orchestra.

The issues here are complex, and I hope that the DMA and the CSO will be able to come to a solution that is fair to all involved and that keeps the music alive. But this point in the authors’ list of complaints caught my eye:

Musicians performing on more than one instrument receive “doubling pay.”

I don’t have the full details of the doubling pay currently available to CSO members (though the amount doesn’t appear to be the issue here—it’s the fact that any doubling pay is offered that seems to offend). But a slightly-outdated agreement between the DMA and the Boulder Philharmonic, summarized below, shows a typical doubling pay structure, and it’s a reasonable guess that the CSO’s is identical or very similar:

  • 25% bonus for first double
  • 10% for each additional double
  • B-flat and A clarinets count as one instrument
  • Alto and tenor saxophones count as one instrument
  • Alto and bass clarinets count as one instrument
  • Piccolo, larger flutes, English horn, E-flat clarinet, contrabassoon, soprano saxophone, and saxophones larger than tenor each count as a double, even when used in common combinations (like flute plus piccolo)
Though I am not currently a union member (due to a dearth of union gigs in my area), I frequently ask for doubling fees when negotiating my pay for gigs. Here’s why doubling fees make sense to me as a woodwind player:
  • Each additional instrument I bring to the gig represents a significant financial investment on my part: purchase, maintenance, reeds and other accessories, and insurance, not to mention high costs in past and continuing study of each instrument.
  • Each instrument—even two instruments in the same family, like oboe and English horn—requires separate study, practice, and effort. The money I earn isn’t really about the time I spend at the gig. It’s about the thousands of hours I’ve spent becoming the musician that can do what is required. If I’m playing two instruments on the gig, then that’s a double helping of preparation I’ve put in. If it’s oboe and English horn, or bassoon and contrabassoon, then I’ve put in separate hours making reeds for each instrument.
  • Doubling is very much a money-saving practice for those who hire musicians. I’ll happily play four instruments for 145% of scale, and a smart contractor will happily pay that rather than the 400% of scale that it would cost to hire four separate musicians.
I hope to see a compromise struck in Denver that acknowledges the value that doublers bring to an ensemble.

4 thoughts on “Doubling fees under fire in Denver

  1. As a fellow musician, in my heart I sympathize with your first and second bullet points. Unfortunately the artist often ends his argument there. As a fellow participant in our capitalistic society, it’s your last bullet that really carries the day. I’m so glad you pointed it out.

    One wonders if the Denver Post opinionators (recently departed members of the Colorado Symphony’s Board of Directors) have some axe to grind.

  2. Truth be known……….. Your “illustrious” union should be fighting this battle for the musicians. This is why we pay WORK DUES and MEMBERSHIP. ……
    Your not a union member???
    OK, you always have “hope” that the producers will recognize and respect your plight (and cough up the extra money you have invested in your craft)…. Hahahahahahaha.

    1. Ray, these are great points you bring up, and I would love to have the union in my corner. But there just aren’t union gigs where I live, so if I were to renew my membership I wouldn’t work at all. I hope at some point the union has the influence everywhere that it has in the major markets.

      In the meantime, I’m finding that being a doubler outside the major markets is rare enough that I do have some leverage negotiating doubling pay.

  3. When we were discussing doubling rates in one of the orchestras I play with an interesting situation was brought up that I had not been aware of:

    The list of instruments that received doubling pay excluded Piccolo/Flute, Oboe/English Horn, Eb/Bb/A Clarinet, Clarinet/Bass Clarinet and Bassoon/Contrabassoon. When I brought this up they said that is was old language from a previous orchestra in our town. As it turns out, the third woodwinds had negotiated full-time status (despite playing in fewer performances) in exchange for doubling fees. Now, we are not a full-time orchestra yet, so the language was quickly changed, but it did strike me as a fair compromise for that specific situation.

    Anyway, I have no idea of the specific situation in Colorado, but I thought I’d throw that out there.

Forty-Minute Story: A Distant World

Daktor strode into the room like a conqueror, and that’s exactly what she was. She held out her purple, scaly fingers in a gesture of command. It was important to be regal, no matter who she addressed. Even if it was a computer.

“Speak, Voice,” she ordered. “Tell me about these humans. Theirs is a distant world, but General Noth advances in their direction. I hear many conflicting rumors of their kind, and I would know the truth.”

The ship’s computer was a vaguely cylindrical mass of metal and polymer casing, enclosing such strange and mystical circuits as even Daktor dared not imagine. It spoke in a harsh synthetic tone. “Enlightened One, these creatures are no threat to your navy.”

She frowned. “I have heard of their skill. With ships, with technology. They have colonized three of the nearby systems, have they not?”

“It is so, Enlightened One.”

“How do you know they are not a threat?”

“They were a race of toolmakers, Enlightened One. They achieved nuclear fission and interstellar drive early in their history. But they have fallen.”

“Fallen – how? The technology is gone?”

“The tools remain, but the toolmakers have grown weak. They engineered such clever devices that they had no more need of toil, of skill. Pampered by their machines, they ceased to study, and they forgot how to invent new things. A few of the old builder clans remain, but it takes all their effort just to maintain the ancient ways. They do not innovate.”

Daktor smiled. “Like a thousand other worlds. Prey to their own genius. Once I have pushed my borders beyond them, I will teach them new ways. Our ways. The ways of strength.”

“So it will be, Enlightened One.”

Daktor strode out of the room like a conqueror.

A panel in the corner shifted, and two heads poked out of a supply cache, scanning the room. Their faces were not purple or scaly, but soft and smooth. Daktor would have thought they looked weak, had she been there. But Daktor had moved on.

“They bought it,” one said to the other. “Let’s move.”

For those who don’t know, Forty-Minute Stories are a semi-regular feature here. I write each one in (shocker!) forty minutes or less, in the mornings before work. If you liked this one, there are plenty more.

This Is Why Solar Windows Have Yet to Become Popular

The future of solar energy in the U.S. has largely been a vision of panels on every roof and silver fields of solar farms. But what about other surfaces, like windows?

By Meredith Rutland Bauer | MOTHERBOARD

Window pane solar panels don’t have a large presence in the solar energy market. But with massive metropolises boasting skyscrapers with thousands of windows each—let alone the half-dozen windows in each home—why hasn’t this option taken hold?

The reason boils down to the way solar panels capture energy. Most solar cells are photovoltaic, so they collect energy by absorbing light and then excite electrons to a conductive state. Opaque panels are able to trap more sunlight to convert into energy than a transparent one can—for a few reasons, but if light is brightening a room, it can’t also be used for power generation.

Quarantine cookery

5 mins read

In Orwell’s excellent essay, ‘British Cookery’, written in 1946, that master of British cultural writing, in a spirited defence of his native cuisine, enumerates the dining habits of the population of Britain as though he were explaining them to an alien (not exactly an alien, he had Voltaire- a Frenchman- in mind.) The passage of time has worked it into an historical document as well as social commentary. However, we can still view our own foibles in the less opaque parts of the mirror. Consider:

“The fish fried in oil to which the British working classes are especially addicted is definitely nasty, and has been an enemy of home cookery, since it can be bought everywhere in the big towns, ready cooked and at low prices.”

“At normal times the average consumption of sugar per head is very much higher than in most countries, and all British children and a large proportion of adults are over-much given to eating sweets between meals.”

Eating unhealthy food outside the home and snacking can only have increased since 1946, with a boom in convenience food and a greater tendency away from set, traditional mealtimes, and one towards a nation of people vacantly grazing alone, like socially distanced cows in a field.

The poor dietary practice of Brits, and especially Scots, has been attributed to many factors, including, but not limited to: widespread pessimism, and cold, wet weather. A nation where variations on the theme “that filled a hole” and “food is fuel” are common parlance can not be said to have a highly developed attitude towards food. In Britain, one is expected to “clear the plate” at a meal, lest the cook be offended, or the diner not fully realise its advantages, because in Britain food is not viewed as a pleasurable pursuit but rather as a necessary investment, and not to utilise every finished product is to fail to profit from all of the potential returns.

This economic and anhedonic tendency may even derive from our historically Protestant spirit, and it is perhaps no surprise that statistics show Catholic countries like Spain, Italy and France spending almost twice as much time eating and drinking each day than Brits.

However, may we dare to hope that the present situation unintentionally offers a chance for us to refine our palates? Many are currently furloughed from work and consequently without the most common reason families give for not being able to eat together and to eat good home-cooked food. The present situation has led to an increase in those locked down experimenting with new home-made recipes, and what is more, according to a study, “a rise in community spirit has seen almost a third deliver their creations to others, including 36 per cent to relatives outside of their home and 23 per cent to neighbours.”

To relieve the tedium, many are using the abundant free time of quarantine to take up new hobbies, and cooking is a creditable option, being an artisanal activity in which it is fairly easy to gain proficiency and which allows scope for creativity and endless experimentation across borders.

More heartening is the display of community through food. Food lives as a means of communion and, especially at a common table, it serves as an opportunity for social oneness through a shared experience, in which one gives the gift of nourishment to friends. Eating proper meals also helps offset the incessant peckishness which Orwell described.

If quarantine makes us a nation of people who take food more seriously it will have been a fantastic unintended consequence. But perhaps our habits are just as hard to change as the cold, wet weather.

Marty McFly's Shoes May Be Real!

McFly Sneakers

This is the most exciting news to hit the Bro Council offices since Rick announced his resignation from the Old Spice commercials to come work for us. Seriously, how cool is this? I have always been a fan of hoverboards, DeLoreans, and auto-lacing sneakers because of that movie. Oh, and Lea Thompson. I had a huge crush on her back in the day.

You know what's impressive though? Someone has already made their own pair and they look great. Check out the video at the bottom of this article.

Seriously though, get on the Hoverboard ball Mattel!

UPDATE! - In other news, there is apparently a new Back To The Future video game in the works. How awesome is this day?

What you'll learn in this kids acting class:

There are five areas of concentration in our on-going curriculum: Scene Study, Cold Reading, Interview Technique, Improvisation and Character Development. Students are not allowed to critique other students, but are instead encouraged to comment positively on specifics within any actor's performance. Direction is given through choices, emotional development, focusing on strengths, & strong technique. We do not give "line readings".

It is our job here at The Actors Circle to expose the actor to many different ways to get to the same place within their emotional subtext. Actors must learn to make independent choices in order to effectively deal with the independence that is expected of them when on a film set. We encourage actors to develop a bag of tricks that they can take with them throughout their career, in essence developing their own individual way that works best for them.

Our classes develop and foster confidence, focus, self awareness, creativity, sensory awareness, choice making, memory and sequencing skills, preparation, investigative skills, reading and comprehension skills, building the necessary tools for a competent actor who is capable of taking direction and has the stamina necessary while filming or taping.

We will often communicate in film terms in order to develop the on set vocabulary with the actor, so they will understand directions given to them when filming.

Discussing characters, story line, emotional transitions, backstory and motivation encourages the actor to look beyond the words to find the emotional subtext within the scene where the truth lies and an honest performance will follow. How we approach these concepts varies with each age group. It is most important to develop the instinct of the young actor, because often the young actor must simply get out of their head.

Cold Reading and Interview Technique
Every class deals with some form of cold reading exercise, using scenes and monologues from television and film scripts. We approach this in many different ways in order to keep it interesting for those students who have been in our program for a long period of time. We are always updating our script library with currently casting projects so that material we use in class is current with the trends of the industry. We discuss ways of dealing with many situations within the casting environment including nervousness, eye contact, the general interviews, use of space, choice making, full use of the body, creating the environment, relationships, script handling, easy memorization of dialogue through sequencing thoughts and the art of being yourself with the adults the young actor meets... bringing the uniqueness of the actor's own personality and energy into the room.

Character Development
It is not enough to be a good actor, you have to be the one they remember. How do you become the one they remember…by creating memorable and believable characters…whether they be characters close to the actors own self or a departure from self. We delve deep into every character, whether they be seemingly simple or obviously complicated. Every character an actor portrays matters and should be treated with equal attention to detail.

This is the key to the actor learning the art of active listening and character point of view. Approximately fifty percent of our curriculum is improvisational oriented. Improvisation strengthens the actor's ability to stay in character and make choices that will be useful when developing back-stories, character traits and emotional spontaneity. In addition, often times, improvisation is a big part of the audition process as well the directorial process.

The "art of coaching" involves knowing how to approach these areas while considering the individual personality of the person with whom you are working. It also involves assisting the actor in keeping the performance fresh and natural even within a point of view that is different from the natural personality of the person involved.

Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.

Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.

Should the Sabres go after Brock Boeser?

Over the past weekend, there were some rumors going on after Rick Dhaliwal from The Athletic tweeted that the Canucks were considering trading Brock Boeser:

The Canucks may have other ways of alleviating some of that pressure, but it does make you wonder if Kevyn Adams considers this as his potential first big trade.

Boeser’s cap hit is just under $6M for each of the next two seasons, and at 23 years old, he has been performing well. He has point totals of 55, 56, and 45 in the last three seasons, and he has missed time in each of those three. He’s totalled 161 points (75 goals, 86 assists) in 197 career games.

The Canucks drafted him 23rd overall in the 2015 draft.

Boeser is already a two-time 20-goal scorer, topping out at 29 goals in 2017-18. He’s not an elite player and he has been playing on a line with Elias Pettersson.

The chart above shows he has been relatively average in these categories, but he can still score and dish out assists.

What could Buffalo offer?

Adding a 6’1″, 208-pound winger to the top six would be a big add, but the Sabres would have to send a very convincing offer, especially with other teams probably doing the same thing.

If the Canucks are trying to offload salary, they’re probably not going to want to take on salary.

If this is true, then this is absolutely the starting point. I don’t dislike Ristolainen, but it may finally be time to move on, especially if there’s a team interested.

The Canucks already have Alexander Edler at $6M for another year, along with Tyler Myers at $6M for another four. I’m not sure if they’d take on Ristolainen ($5.4M) for two more years.

Other notable pieces the Sabres could include would be Brandon Montour and Casey Mittelstadt.

Montour is a restricted free agent, so the Canucks would have to get him signed. Montour’s cap hit was $3.4M last year and he’s still only 26 years old so he has room and time to improve.

Mittelstadt has been slowly losing that exciting prospect status that he once had. His brutal 2018-19 season with the Sabres (25 points in 77 games) was tough to watch. The Sabres sent him to the AHL this past season where he scored 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists) in 36 games.

There’s hope that Mittelstadt can find his game and improve, but there’s a chance he may continue to fizzle out. The Sabres may be wise to take the risk and trade him now for a proven winger.

The other big bargaining chip the Sabres have is the 8th overall pick in the upcoming draft. Whether Adams would want to trade that pick or keep it is unknown, but if the Canucks don’t want Risotlainen, I think they’d want this pick, if not both.

If I’m Adams, I’d be on the phone with Vancouver about this, starting with an offer such as Ristolainen and Mittelstadt for Boeser.

If the Canucks aren’t interested in Ristolainen, I’m making an offer of Mittelstadt, Montour, and a 4th-round pick.

What do you think and would you want the Sabres to go after Boeser if he is indeed available?

I founded Buffalo Hockey Central in 2008 and have poured hours and hours into this site. Luckily, we have a great team of writers and designers who have helped keep this up and running despite a ton of out-of-pocket costs. We do this because we enjoy it, and we're desperate to see the Sabres win the Cup someday, but they have to make the playoffs first.

September 2, 2003. The phone rings and my sister says, “You’d better come now.” Sound like a line from a sentimental movie? Not one my family ever starred in. Not one in which I’d have chosen even a minor role.

My mother had been diagnosed with lung cancer the previous year. A life-time smoker, she would not survive the thirteen months of poisonous treatments. No doubt that, coupled with fifty some years of epileptic seizures and the panoply of required drugs she swallowed, made her no candidate for long life. Ever the palm-reader, she predicted an early death. 70 is not bad, right?

To come now means a willingness to sit with my mother as she dies. Because I hate flying, because too abrupt, too jarring, because I no longer fly home, I decide to drive from Wyoming where I have lived since 1983. Thirteen and a half hours to Seattle will give me enough time to grieve and be pissed off at my mother. Thirteen and a half hours—getting up before the sun, heading over the pass above a valley I now call home—will keep me wary, guarded. At that time of day, wildlife cross the road before you can stop: the porcupine or mule deer, a roost-bound owl or chipmunk, suddenly crushed in my mad rush to be there now.

When I am in a hurry to get to Washington, I drive south to I-84. For a time, this route follows the Snake River toward its confluence with the Columbia near the Tri-Cities where my family lived in the early 1960s. It seems natural that I again live close to the Snake, close to the continent’s headwaters.

When I am in a hurry, I shouldn’t stop, but do: to take photos. Near Craters of the Moon a strange gold light seeps under the clouds and across the green dawn’s sage. Outside Hill City, Idaho, towers of cumulus stretch into the blue zenith. How can I not stop.

Soon the Snake will veer abruptly northward through Idaho toward Lewiston before turning westward again, and so I leave that drainage to cross the high desert country of Oregon, through Baker City, and eventually bridge the subdued Columbia at Umatilla.

When I have more time, I hug the Washington river bank before heading north through the Horse Heaven Hills, drawn to the undulating earth, picturing horses with their manes and tails lifted, racing the wind. But there are no wild horses and the only now that means anything: my mother’s last breath.

There is never a question about not going now, though I have a full-time job as a bookkeeper. My mother will die three days later, after midnight on September 6, at home, with me stretched out beside her, my sister’s best friend pressed to her other side. Both of us whispering over her body that takes her away—one soft breath at a time.

Centuries-old estate with stories to tell

The estate was originally built in 1847 by the Reverend D.R. Dickinson and his wife Margaret of New York City. The property is still referred to as “Margaret Hall” in the National Historic Register. The house passed down to their daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband, the Reverend A.D. Lawrence Jewett. The family used it as a summer home, becoming known in the area as the “Jewett Mansion.”

The home passed on to a variety of owners in the decades following the Jewett’s ownership.

In 1912 Charles and George Stearns purchased the home and added a front and side porch. They also built the barn that still stands today.
Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Munson, a prominent attorney from Williamsport and an interior decorator from a wealthy New York family, bought the estate in 1925. Mrs. Munson began renovations to the home and gave it a new name, “Wyno,” a Native American word meaning both “good luck,” and “welcome,” according to Library of Congress research. Mrs. Munson added stone terraces, formal gardens, and the tea house. She brought many elements of interior styles together including the free-hanging spiral staircase, a unique “ships cabin” room on the third floor, imported Italian marble, and she incorporated powder room panels originally from Marie Antoinette’s boudoir in France.

After Mr. Munson passed away, the house stood vacant for twelve years until it was purchased in 1940 by Dr. Roy Simon. The home remained unchanged until 1945 when Congressman Alvin R. Bush purchased the estate. The Bush family gave the house a major facelift and established a working dairy farm. The Bush family’s children grew up on the estate until the family downsized to a smaller home in Williamsport.

In 2013 Alvin’s son Charles and his wife Carmen transformed the estate into a private family corporation under the Bush name. The couple has renovated and updated the mansion and cottages and the Bush House Estate Wedding and Event Venue has enthralled couples, guests, and visitors alike ever since.

How To Negotiate M&A Transactions During Lockdown

The impact of pandemics was an important factor in the short-term settlement of transactions, as were other factors influencing M & A transactions. While past crises have affected M & A deals, the focus has always been on how they are developed and negotiated, but this time it was different.

 As key players work remotely and adapt to a changing environment, this has become even more critical. M&A clauses were highlighted as a provision that the parties used or considered to renegotiate or withdraw a transaction.

 This fundamental position was reflected in the decision of the Hong Kong Takeover Panel to acquire advertising chain WPP Group. In its decision, it sought to abandon the M&A clause for its target business because the prevailing market distortion resulting from the terrorist attacks in New York had led to an M&A for the target business. The decision of the UK Takeovers Panel rejected this argument but pointed out that to invoke M&A clauses effectively, changes must be sufficiently severe to strike at the heart of a company and cause significant disruption to its operations.

 The long-stop date clause applies if the terms and precedents to which the Agreement is subject are not fulfilled or repealed within a specified period (if applicable). The block box clause and the block box clause are the two most commonly used clauses in the global M & A market to determine the purchase price of an M & A transaction.

Given the COVID 19 situation, it is likely that buyers will seek to negotiate shorter or longer hold dates in the future, particularly with MAC clauses. A vendor who executes a transaction for the near future – the term will want to be longer – can thus recoup his lost value over time. If you have confidence in your buyers and the strength of their business, the seller should consider accepting a purchase price that will be paid in part as a share repayment to recover some of the value after the close of business.

 Given the scenario, these clauses are likely to be hard-negotiated and focused, but not necessarily price. Negotiations can focus on several options to bridge the valuation gap between buyer and seller.

 If the seller were to push for a narrower M&A clause, it would appear unlikely that the buyer would insist on registering an M&A event, especially in the event of a blockade and/or closure of international borders. To do so, the parties concerned would have to agree on the specific impact of the COVID 19 crisis on the transaction. Cross-border transactions would also be affected if the closure led to the closure of the international border.

 Some parties may turn away from the transaction and appear to be getting away with a lower valuation than before COVID was formed. In other cases, where the impact is slightly less severe, the buyer may want to reconsider the valuation. Some may seek a downward price adjustment, but there is no direct impact on the business.

 Given that January 2020 has seen an all-time high for the Indian stock market, this could become particularly relevant as buyers may now want to reconsider their valuation. In the event of an outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19, we will consider related issues that the parties should address when considering an M & A agreement

 To obtain more certainty about the final results, the parties should review and revise the relevant provisions of the Takeover Agreement, conduct additional audits and perform due diligence.

 However, whether the impact of COVID-19 constitutes an M&A for this specific acquisition agreement will depend, inter alia, on the facts surrounding the target company. The seller should consider including this information in the data room if the disclosure is required in connection with COVID- 19. However, the acquirer is not obliged to close if at any time, the target undertaking suffers a material impairment of its warranty of representation leading to anMAE or if it breaches any of its repeat warranties.

 An already protracted regulatory merger and approval process are facing additional challenges due to delays caused by pandemics and resulting backlogs. Compliance with conditions and precedents may take longer, in part because of the effects of the pandemic. The Competition Commission issued a media statement on 24 March 2020. Once a lock-in period has been announced, operations can be scaled back or, in some cases, even halted for failing or distressed companies.

The ending to the Iron Bowl was kind of embarrassing

Props should be given to Auburn for being heads up on the final play to win the game. But the same cannot be said for Alabama. In fact, it’s very embarrassing that they let it happened.

It just seemed like the entire special teams, save for maybe one or two players, were ready for a potential return on a missed kick. In fact, most times when it comes to a ball fielded that deep into the end zone, the returner doesn’t get past the 30-yard line.

But it was great blocking on Auburn’s part and the delayed reaction by Alabama really took away from this ending for me. It was a thrilling ending, but it came in part because one team just wasn’t ready. That’s a shame.

The world is in chaos,

And my mind is a blank.

I tried to be witty,

But I think that it stank!

The world is not laughing,

Cuz nothing is funny.

But I have a plan,

To make it a little bit sunny.

I’ve said it before,

And I’ll say it again.

A smile brightens a room,

It’s a simple refrain.

Even hidden by masks,

And so far apart.

A nod or a wave,

Is a good place to start.

Then respect and some kindness,

Could be tossed in the mix.

Perhaps it will catch on,

And be part of the fix.

We must come together,

To be part of the cure.

I know we can do it,

This I am sure!

It’s not always easy,

Impossible some times.

But we can’t stop now,

When everything rhymes!

    Amazing what a smile can do, for the recipient and for the giver. Smiles and laughs are in short supply these days, but are sorely needed. The only equipment needed is lips! And there’s no limit as to how many you’re allowed to share. No expiration date either!

    Our aim is to make at least one person smile every day. Covid and the wearing of masks has made it more of a challenge, but if you know what to look for, you can tell when someone is smiling behind the mask. Watch the eyes for that crinkle and sparkle. Have a good day Pam.

Associated to the scholarship:11/15508-4 - Searching for new antigens for canine visceral leishmaniasis serodiagnostic: study of Lc06 protein., BP.IC

The leishmaniasis are a group of diseases caused by the genus Leishmania. These affect 350 million people in the world in its two main forms, the cutaneous leishmaniasis and visceral leishmaniasis. After the complete sequencing of the genome of Leishmania major and the breakthrough in sequencing other species (Leishmania braziliensis, L. mexicana and L. infantum), much has been advanced regarding the study of proteomic platform companies of its parasites forms (amastigote and promastigotas) in order to know better interaction with host, bringing important information on the basic biology of these organisms, with potential application in the improvement or development of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, avoiding thus cross reactions or treatment failures due to intricacies resistance mechanisms, respectively. In this way, the aim of this project is the training of subcellular fractionation technique for cell permeabilization by digitonin, in which it is possible, by using immunoblotting techniques, characterize proteins under study as to their locations in different subcellular compartments, constituting important information about their function in the cell. Such methodological approach will be applied in undergraduate research project (process FAPESP no 2011/06995-9) or in a future Master Degree project, for functional characterization of genes under study, as well as direct application of the same in different laboratory research projects related to the understanding of the mechanism of action of new compounds with leishmanicidal activity. The overall objective is to introduce the biochemical and cell biological approaches of (i) cell fractionation by digitonin extraction and (ii) fluorescence microscopy of epitope-tagged proteins to study protein localisation (and thus function) in trypanosomatid parasites, studying adenylate kinase function, as well as cytoskeletal dynamics in Leishmania. The adenylate kinases provide an unusually large gene family in trypanosomatid parasites with gene products localised to a variety of sub-cellular compartments, mitochondrion, cytosol, glycosomes, nucleus, and flagellum (where different isoforms are found selectively in either the axoneme or paraflagellar rod). Within these compartments the nucleotide homeostasis function provided by adenylate kinases serves a number of roles in energy management and cell motility (J. Biol. Chem 280: 11781-9; work in prep). The objective is to use the digitonin fractionation to determine the sub-organellar localization of an essential mitochondrial adenylate kinase and use fluorescence microscopy to study life-cycle expression in Leishmania of an adenylate. This isoform is selectively up-regulated in specific life-cycle stages and the single cell analysis of parasites expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged adenylate kinase from an endogenous locus provides opportunity to not only test this hypothesis but to also teach the application of live cell imaging, through the use of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) to study protein turnover and the mobility of protein complexes within trypanosomatid cells.

Martinique Gourmande is back for its 11th edition!

Over the years, the culinary festival Martinique Gourmande has become the annual rendez-vous of Martinican gastronomy in Quebec. This year, the 11th edition is returning from September 13th to 23rd in participating bars and restaurants in Montreal and Quebec City. The event is made possible thanks to prestigious partners such as Air Canada, Club Med Les Boucaniers, and Trois-Rivières rum.

A new edition has already made your mouth water with its theme "Sugar, spices... and great rums". Once again, the flavours of Martinique will tickle Quebecers’ taste buds, with the help of chefs and mixologists from participating establishments who will offer a menu composed of dishes and cocktails during the festival inspired by their vision of the Island of Flowers’ gastronomy, a skillful blend of spices and know-how.

"Martinique Gourmande is the most convivial and delicious meeting organized by the Martinique Tourism Committee. It's a culinary festival that celebrates our traditions, our cuisine and our great rums, brought to life by chefs, mixologists and simply sensational Quebec customers. We expect a magnificent 2018 edition!" said Muriel Wiltord, Director Americas of the Martinique Tourism Authority.

This year, the Festival will also have the honour of welcoming renowned Martinican chefs, including:

Daniel LABONNE, Executive Chef of the German Embassy and former Chef of the French Embassy in Washington D.C. (USA). Chef Labonne had the great honour of cooking for the former presidential couple, Barack and Michelle Obama.

David COLOMBA, Chef of the restaurant Le KoudPouss, the first restaurant on the island, located in the green commune of Marigot. Chef Colomba offers a tasty and innovative Creole cuisine, made with local products.

• The Martinican brothers Jimmy and Thierry LAUZÉA, owners of the Maison Frères Lauzéa, who introduce creations mixing local flavours and know-how. They are regularly named among the 20 best master chocolatiers in the world.

A festival that makes you want to travel!

In 2008, the Martinique Tourism Committee in Canada initiated the launch of this culinary festival with the flavours of the sun and the desire to extend summer in the plates and hearts of Quebecers...It was one of the first of its kind in Montreal! Eleven editions and a few thousand feasts later, the festival now brings together nearly 40 participating establishments, including the original participants such as the Carte Blanche Restaurant, Renoir, Ateliers et Saveurs, Saveur Soleil, Café Prague or the Lab, Comptoir à Cocktails.

Now a must in the calendar of foodies, the festival is a friendly encounter between Quebec and Martinican culture, a great opportunity to promote Martinique, its tasty cuisine blending Caribbean, French, Indian and African influences, as well as its exceptional agricultural rum with pronounced sugar cane aromas.

About Martinique

Martinique is an island in the Caribbean, in the heart of the Lesser Antilles. The Caribbean Flower, the world capital of the rum, the birthplace of the famous poet Aimé Césaire... however it is called, Martinique remains one of the most charming and attractive destinations in the world. It reveals its charms as much to nature lovers as to water sports enthusiasts with the majestic Mount Pelée and Diamond Rock. Designated in 2016 as the Best Culinary Destination in the Caribbean by the Travvy Awards, Martinique is a French overseas region that arouses passion with its natural beauty and diversity of landscapes, history, rich culture and warm people. Empress Josephine, Napoleon I's wife, was born and lived in Martinique. Saint-Pierre, city of Art and History, the Pompeii of the Caribbean is located in the north of the island. Fort-de-France Bay is included since 2011, in the much closed circle of the most beautiful bays of the world. La Route des Grands Rhums AOC of Martinique, a tasty cuisine, spices with a thousand scents, and an authentic craftsmanship, all made the magnificent island like no other place for the pleasure of our visitors.

I like being a VC

OK, well, I’m not really a VC, I’m an entrepreneur and I’m going to start another company, but I have to say I’m enjoying doing some VC work. I’m on Sand Hill road today and looking at companies, talking with entrepreneurs, and really thinking about how you scale businesses (something I got the bug for at AOL).

Maybe after the next company I’ll do this full-time…..
