Christian Marclay.

Work by Christian Marclay. Edited
Whitney Museum of American Art, 2010. 240 pp., 250 color and black & white illustrations in three volumes, slipcased, 8¼x11".

Publisher's Description
Christian Marclay (born 1955) explores the fusion of fine art and audio cultures, transforming sounds and music into a visible, physical form through performance, collage, sculpture, installation, photography, and video. Published in a 3-volume magazine format, this exhibition catalogue aims to capture the spontaneity of his process-oriented practice. Although the structure of the magazines is intentionally loose, there are some themes that each issue addresses: the first issue historically contextualizes Marclay’s work; the second addresses his early work and discusses the performances taking place at the Whitney; and the third looks at his later work and video scores.

As a whole, Christian Marclay: Festival is a thoughtful and creatively packaged document that captures how this artist’s compelling practice has evolved over time and continues to expand and develop.

"To Light Into"

Posted by TheFallen on March 07, 2003

In Reply to: "To Light Into" posted by R. Berg on March 07, 2003

: : : : : Any idea as to the origin of the phrasal verb "to light into"? Thanks in advance for any help.

: : : : I'll have to research the origin. The meaning is to fight someone -- go at him/her with fists flying.

: : : : Agreed with ECS and not sure of origin, but of course, "to light out" has a different meaning, as in to leave, head out or depart in a hurry.

: : I wonder if there's a connection with "to light" in one of its more archaic senses, meaning to affect unexpectedly. It may be that, when you originally "lit into" someone, you were doing something unprovoked and unforeseen.

: I couldn't find that sense in the OED. "Light into" isn't there either.

This from the American Heritage Dictionary (and yes, the irony of the Brit's quoting from that august tome, as compared to Ms. Berg's quoting from the hallowed pages of the unsurpassed OED has not escaped me :):-

INTRANSITIVE VERB: Inflected forms: light·ed or lit ( lt), light·ing, lights
1. To get down, as from a vehicle or horse; dismount.
2. To descend to the ground after flight; land. 3. To come upon one unexpectedly: Misfortune lighted upon him.
4. To come upon by chance or accident. Used with on or upon: lit on the perfect solution to the problem.

Light into Informal To attack verbally or physically; assail.
Light out Informal To leave hastily; run off.

If there are no serious injuries to the Leafs' blueline corps, who do you think will end up being the odd man out (7th defenceman) by the end of the year?

Projected top 8 defencemen:
Phaneuf, Schenn, Liles . . . then . . .
Franson, Aulie, Gunnarsson, Komisarek, Lashoff

Anyway, off to work at a later date. Guess some pre - season games will be over by the time i`m back again.
The Duke Posted - 08/29/2011 : 19:16:42
RC, i agree somewhat on your Gunnarsson assessment. I Don`t think he is quite as bad as you think he is...but i certainly don`t think he is the next coming or anything.

If M. Kom is ever going to play any hockey, he better do it quickly i think. As for sending him down like the J. Finger job...i don`t think they can, i believe he as a no movement clause in his in no moving him to the Marlies.

If L. Schenn is ever moved it will probably be for a young ( 24 - 26 year old ) center ice-man. Wishful thinking in regard to Shea Weber....
TheRC Posted - 08/29/2011 : 10:18:44
I see Phaneuf as the sort of D-man who has to be confident in his ability to make mistakes in order to be effective. That is, he needs a partner he can trust to play solid enough defence to allow him to do the stupid, but sometimes spectacular, things that can sometimes make him so effective. I'm talking about the huge hits, the dangerous blueline pinch, getting out of defensive position in order to hit a one-timer etc. etc.

After a ton of (failed) experimentation, Aulie seems to have slotted nicely into that role as Phaneuf's responsible half. I'd be very surprised to see that pair broken up.

For another (the top?) pair I suspect Schenn and Liles will compliment each other nicely. The final pair is up for grabs. I'd bet on Gunnarsson being a fixture, barring a slump, and though it pains me to say it, because I think the guy is worse than useless, Komisarek will certainly be given (another) good shot, if only to justify is salary. I would like to see more of Franson though.

Beans15 Posted - 08/29/2011 : 08:45:30
I agree that Schenn not being signs is not fishy and I think that if Burke has something up his sleeve, he would have done it already. Burke has been very candid about what his intentions are and it was around the 3rd week in July when he said he was done for now unless someone came to him with a deal.

Secondly, there are maybe 2-3 players that can be compared with Shea Weber today (under 30, Norris-level defender, as good offensively as defensively). Not only that, Weber is still an RFA after this season. With that, Schenn and a draft pick/prospect is no where near that value. Not even close.

Slozo, I do recall Phaneuf playing far better at the end of last season. Much like he did with Hamrlik in Calgary, he finds a partner he likes and plays very well. It's a good point if Aulie is that guy.
slozo Posted - 08/29/2011 : 04:37:10
First off, not fishy at all that Schenn isn't signed yet - they gave the timetable for those negotiations early in the summer, and there is no reason to think it won't get done. Schenn is not going anywhere.

Secondly, I agree Beans - I don't think Liles and Phaneuf will ever get paired together, same reasons you stated. But what you may not have noticed last year, not being a Leafs fan and all, is that Aulie played with Phaneuf for the most part of the second half of the season, and that's when Phaneuf really played well.

Unless Aulie truly has a "sophomore slump" - and it could well happen - I see Phaneuf and Aulie staying together.

Phaneuf - Aulie
Liles - Schenn
Franson - Gunnarsson / Komisarek

I predict that Komisarek will really pull up his socks, make the top 6, and that Gunnarsson will be dealt. That is, unless someone REALLY wants Komi, which is highly unlikely unless some team gets killed with injuries on the blueline.

So, 7th man will be Lashoff, or one of the kids on the farm.

Don`t be shocked if Brian Burke sends Schenn plus a good prospect to Nashville in return for Weber.

I would not be shocked if Burke put that offer forward. I would be utterly shocked if NSH accepted it.

There has been all kinds of talk around town about VAN making a play for Weber. Although in the end I don't think they will, consensus (amongst non-hockey people mind you) is that it would take Ballard (he has to go the other way), Schneider, Hodgson, and a draft pick, just to open the conversation.

Weber is probably the most highly coveted blueliner available (or semi-available) right now. Schenn and a prospect seems ludicrous.
Alex116 Posted - 08/28/2011 : 18:48:10
Weber is under contract for 7.5 for one year. This was awarded earlier this month in arbitration.

For this prospective trade to even be considered, the Leafs would need some sort of guarantee that Weber would be willing to sign long term.
The Duke Posted - 08/28/2011 : 18:27:48
Sorry guys guest 2219 was me...not logged in.

Would you make the proposed deal i suggested ?? I would ( with Komo. in ) just stirring up conversation.

What do you think ?
Guest2219 Posted - 08/28/2011 : 18:24:25
Is Shea Weber signed yet ??

Don`t be shocked if Brian Burke sends Schenn plus a good prospect to Nashville in return for Weber.

The only way though i would consider this move is if Nashville took Komisarek in the deal...way tooooo much $$$$$ on the leafs defense with Komi. still there.

I smell something fishy with Schenn still not signed....Burke may have something up his sleeve.
Leafs81 Posted - 08/28/2011 : 18:18:57
I honnestly think it will be split time between two players like they did with Finger and Exelby a couple of years ago. They have to play Komisarek somehow to try to sell him. Give him bigger responsabilities, get his stats back up (blocking shots and hits) and then trade him or put him on waivers. But that's also up to Komisarek to take this opportunity and show what he can do. If he doesn't nobody will want him and Toronto are stuck with him for two more seasons. His contract is just too big for him not to play. Phaneuf, Schenn, Liles and Franson are the top 4.

So I think it will be split between Gunnarson and Aulie, big and tough or skills depending on who they play that night. That way if there is an injury both are ready to step up and Lashoff gets the call as the 7th.
Beans15 Posted - 08/28/2011 : 11:52:59
Why is Schenn on the list? Did he sign when I wasn't looking??

Kidding, we all know he will sign.

Without seeing any training camp or preseason, I would set up my groups like this:

Phaneuf - Schenn
Liles - Franson
Gunnarsson - Komisarek

As you can see, I agree and prefer to see an offensive and defensive player pairing. Secondly, Aulie is not on my list. Not because I don't like him, but I see Schenn, Franson, and Komisarek ahead of him. Also, he is still on a 2 way deal as far as I am aware so he can go down to the farm without a negative impact to the team. I also think Aulie would benefit from playing every night in the AHL rather than in the press box in the NHL. That makes Lashoff the #7

That being said, Komisarek is on a short leash and I would not be surprised to see him on waivers if he tanks.

    (1) for fast runners, naka-balik na sila sa U-turn sa starting line by 5:45am which is the start of 5k run… so ibig sabihin, habang tumatakbo na yung mga 5k e may mga mag-U-turn na 10k
    (2) for average to slow runners naman, mga bandang 6:00am na sila makakabalik sa U-turn sa may starting line — which is the start of the 3k run

    tapos pagdating siguro ng around 6:10am e halos lahat ng runners e nasa U-turn na ng 3k…masikip nanaman ang daan

    • Thank you so much running nimrod for bringing that into our attention. Race map that was posted to our FB page was only created for the reference of the runners. U-turn slots of 10K is not exactly located at the Start/Finish line, it will be located at about 200-300 meters away from it.

Panthers take a bite out of Chargers’ momentum

-A A +A

 MOUNT WASHINGTON – For the first time this season, the Bullitt East Chargers had a bumpy week on the baseball diamond as they dropped two of three games.

It was the first time this season that the Chargers have lost multiple games. The two losses dropped the red and gold to 24-3 overall.

The big game of the week came on Wednesday as the Chargers traveled to Pleasure Ridge Park to take on the Panthers. It was the first meeting between the two squads since PRP beat Bullitt East 3-0 in last season’s final of the Sixth Region Tournament.

    Hey, just got an inside tip that TCU is joining the Big 12 today. Press conference at 2pm………We’ll see.

  • Kyle Lucas

    Gooh really is an OU fan. And supposedly on OrangePower people are blowing this up talking about him needing to transfer. Just crazy, if I had the opportunity to play at the premier program for my sport or choose the school I cheer for, I would choose the one that would most help my future career. In gooch’s case, that means going to the best golf school to help with his professional golf career.

  • G-Block

    UT has taken my beloved OU’s place as the team I love to hate. (Okay, Notre Dame is still up there, too.) I hope OU drills the ‘horns by 50 points and sends three or four defensive tackles and linebackers to the infirmary (and miss the OSU game).

    In fact, I’ve been rooting for every team that plays against UT and aTm this year. I have no idea what to do when the two Texas schools play one another. Any suggestions?

FCC commissioner calls out Dish for taking $3 billion in small business discounts

Dish is trying to cash in over $ 3 billion in discounts meant to help “very small businesses” during wireless spectrum auctions, but FCC commissioner Ajit Pai isn’t having it. According to The Wall Street Journal, Pai intends to petition commission chairman Tom Wheeler to investigate Dish’s eligibility for these discounts. Pai, who’s been protective over the FCC’s small business discounts in the past, says that allowing a large company like Dish to receive such a large discount “makes a mockery” of the program.

Abandon All Hope

January 28th, 2009 | Sources: British Medical Journal, MedPageToday

Adolescents who act out in class are more likely to experience mental illness, alcohol abuse and both social and financial difficulties later in life, according to a study in the British Medical Journal

To reach this conclusion, Ian Colman and a team at the University of Alberta queried data involving all 3652 people born in the UK during a one-week period in 1946 using the Medical Research Council National Survey of Health and Development

In this cohort, teachers had documented “externalizing behavior” such as poor attention in class, disobedience, lying, truancy, tardiness, or poor response to discipline when they were 13 and 15 years old.

9.5% of the participants were classified with severe behavioral problems, and another 28.8% with mild problems.

Study investigators reassessed participants at ages 36, 43 and 53 for mental health, social, and economic outcomes.

It turned out that those with severe behavioral problems during adolescence were 30% more likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression, and twice as likely to experience financial difficulties later in life.

Those with at least mild conduct problems were 40% more likely to abuse alcohol and 2.3 times more likely to be involved with a pregnancy during adolescence.

When it came to dropping out of school, those with mild teen behavioral disturbances were more than twice as likely, and those with severe conduct problems were 4 times more likely.

Divorce was 50% and 70% more likely for those with mild and severe conduct problems in adolescence, and self-reported unhappy family life was 30% and 60% more common in those with mild and severe problems respectively.

The findings held true in men and women and were not affected by educational level.

PEORIA — A Peoria woman said a bottle thrown by an unknown assailant cut her ear when she answered her door early Saturday.

The 35-year-old victim was in her apartment in the 3700 block of West Hedgehill Lane about 12:45 a.m. when she heard someone knock at her door. As she opened the door, a man threw a glass bottle that went through the glass window of the screen door and hit her around her right ear, according to the police report.

She said she slammed the door and did not see where the man fled. She told police the man appeared to be black, about 6 feet tall, bald and wearing a red jacket, according to the report. No arrests have been made. The victim was treated for a cut on her ear at a local hospital and released.

Scenic Tsar

As the first newly built ship on Russia’s waterways in 25 years at the time of her launch in 2013, Scenic Tsar represents the ultimate in luxury and comfort in this far-flung part of the world. Owned by the upmarket, all-inclusive Australian travel company Scenic, Tsar, with her capacity for just 112 passengers, provides an intimate, five-star experience on her Russian adventures.

Thanks to her Aussie origins, Tsar is popular with discerning Australian and New Zealander passengers who demand nothing less than Scenic’s luxury touches like a butler service, a great standard of fine-dining and a crew to passenger ratio of two to one. She also attracts well-heeled passengers from Britain who are keen to immerse themselves in the culture and history of the itinerary.

All meals onboard Tsar are taken in her spacious, elegant dining room, Crystal Dining Restaurant. Breakfast and lunch are served buffet style, with the added option to order freshly prepared dishes a la carte. Dinner is a lavish four-course affair.
Crystal Dining has a laid-back, open-seating policy, but its stylish décor and smart casual dress code in the evening creates an exclusive atmosphere. Menus feature familiar favourites and seasonal influences from Russian cuisine.
Scenic’s all-inclusive ethos means that all drinks, including alcohol (with the exception of a few high end tipples), are included in the price passengers pay.

Tsar has a fabulous choice of public areas to enjoy a drink and watch the stunning scenery slip by. The Sun Deck is the place to be on a fine evening. Alternatively, the Neva Lounge & Bar at the rear of the Neva Deck and the Panorama Lounge & Bar on the lower Moskva Deck are both lovely locations to meet and mingle with fellow passengers. Every cruise starts with a Welcome Reception where passengers can get to know each other.
The highlights of Tsar’s evening entertainment are to be found off the ship. The optional Scenic Enrich programme offers a private Russian ballet performance at the opulent Palace of Prince Vladimir in St Petersburg and a popular Sundowners event involves enjoying a drink as you cruise through the Moskva River, taking in all Moscow’s most iconic sights. In Moscow there’s also the chance to enjoy performances from a National Russian Show featuring 50 folk dancers and a renowned Russian Circus.

Life onboard is devoted to relaxing and enjoying the scenery and luxury of Tsar. This relaxed pace provides a welcome antidote to the rich and varied programme of offshore excursions.
Tsar’s sightseeing programme is designed to cater for every taste and energy level. In St Petersburg there’s the chance to admire imperial landmarks like the Hermitage (formerly the Winter Palace), the Yusupov Palace, Catherine’s Palace and Peterhof’s Grand Palace, as well as exploring further afield and trying local restaurants. There’s also the chance to see many other sides of Russia en route to Moscow where passengers can choose from activities including a visit to the Kremlin, a tour of the Museum of the Armed Forces and a chance to sample the city’s restaurants and metro system.
All costs associated with sightseeing, including the services of an English-speaking guide are included.

All Tsar’s 56 suites and staterooms are comfortable and stylish with a real feeling of luxury. Satellite TV, safes and complimentary Wi-Fi are provided as standard. The mini-bar is replenished daily and nearly all cabins feature private, full-length balconies.
The front of the upper Neva Deck is home to four 300 sq. ft. Royal Suites with spacious balcony and indoor living area. This deck also houses twelve 250 sq. ft. Deluxe Balcony Suites.
With 36 cabins, most of Tsar’s accommodation is housed on the Volga Deck. At the front are the two 334 sq. ft. Royal Panorama Suites that offer the ultimate in onboard views and spaciousness. The rest of the deck is devoted to 215 sq. ft. Balcony Suites across three categories.
The lower Moskva Deck is home to Tsar’s four 160 sq. ft. Standard Staterooms that offer views from picture windows rather than balconies.

Tsar’s Beauty Salon and Wellness Centre are located next to each other at the front of the Moskva Deck. The ship has an elevator to aid movement between decks.

Tsar sails the 15 day Jewels of Russia Itinerary that starts with a five day exploration of St Petersburg and ends with four days in Moscow. As well as discovering the many attractions of these two iconic cities, there are many opportunities to experience the many sides of this vast, beautiful country. The cruise visits the museum village of Mandrogi which was rebuilt after the Second World War and the open air museum of Kizhi Island with its wooden churches and chapels. Next on the itinerary is a visit to a 1397-built monastery in Goritsy, an excursion to the ancient city of Yaroslavl on the banks of the Volga River and a tour of the city of Uglich near Moscow.

Sarah Walker's 70th birthday

Sarah Walker
On Wednesday 13 March 2013, two days after mezzo-soprano Sarah Walker's 70th birthday, the Wigmore Hall hosted her 70th birthday concert. Organised by pianist Graham Johnson, with whom Sarah Walker has a long working friendship, the concert was entitled Let us Garlands Bring, based on Shakepeare settings. Joining the distinguished mezzo-soprano and Johnson on the platform were actress Eleanor Bron, soprano Laura Mitchell, mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately and baritone Stephan Loges.

Mitchell and Whately are currently playing the two sisters in English Touring Opera's production of  Cosi fan Tutte (see my review on this blog) which brought back memories of one of Graham Johnson's Songmaker's Almanac concerts at the Wigmore Hall, 'If Fiordiligi and Dorabella were opera singers'. In fact the programme very much reminded me of a Songmaker's Almanac one, with Johnson's familiar skill at pairing known and unknown songs.

Arranged in a prologue, five thematic acts and an epilogue, the songs were punctuated by readings from Eleanor Bron and from the cast, both of Shakespeare and of other writers opinions (both good and bad), from George IiI to George S. Kaufman, from Ben Jonson and Byron, from Heine to Berlioz.

We opened of course, with John Dankworth's The Compleat Works sung by Sarah Walker. Act one then moved to Germany, for a selection of familiar songs. Laura Mitchell in Schubert's Standchen, was followed by Stephan Loges in the composer's Trinklied and Wolf's delightful Lied des transferierten Zettel, then Kitty Whately in Schubert's An Sylvia.

Act two was set in Hamlet's Denmark. Preceded by Johnson reading Berlioz's desciption of his discovery of Shakespeare, was a highly imaginative and effective pairing; Brahms's unaccompanied Ophelia Lieder sung by Sarah Walker in English, interleaved with Mitchell's brilliant rendition of Richard Strauss's Drei Lieder der Ophelia. Eleanor Bron's moving reading of Gertrude's description of Ophelia's death was followed by an extra item. In their first concert together, Sarah Walker and Graham Johnson performed Berlioz's Mort d'Ophelie and so for this concert, at his request, they repeated it. Finally Loges sang Shostakovich's Hamlet's dialogue with his conscience, no. 3 of his Six Poemts of Marina Tsvetaeva.

We moved to Scotland for act three. Whately sang Joseph Horovitz's Lady Macbeth, a scena. A slightly daunting task as the work is much associated with Sarah Walker who has recorded it with Graham Johnson, and Joseph Horovitz (born 1926) was in the audience. But Whately acquitted herself brilliantly and I do hope that the piece stays in her repertoire. Sarah Walker then concluded the first half with Dankworth's Dunsinane Blues.

For act four we had a garland of fancies. Mitchell sang Thomas Arne's delightful Tell me where is fancy bred, with violin solo played by Roberto Gonzalez. Loges was finely in sympathy with three songs from Gerald Finzi's Let us garlands bring (Who is Sylvia?, Fear no more the heat of the sun, O mistress mine). Sarah Walker's account of Poulenc's Fancy was followed by Whately singing Britten's Fancie setting the same text, with Mitchell and Sarah Walker joining in the final 'Ding, Dong Bell'.

Act five was set in England, with an excursion to Russia. Mitchell sang Parry's O Mistress Mine (a lovely discovery), then Mitchell and Whately joined for RVW's moving Dirge for Fidele. Loges sang Shostakovich's setting of Shakespeare's Sonnet 66 in Russian translation.  Whately returned wtih Edmund Rubbra's lovely Take, o take those lips away, followed by Sarah Walker singing Mervyn Horder's delightfully catchy Under the greenwood tree. Finally Whately sang Geoffrey Bush's It was a lover and his lass..

For the Epilogue, we first had Thomas Arne's Where the bee sucks sung by Whately, then Stephan Loges sang Michael Tippett's setting of the same words. Finally we got Hugo Wolf's Elfenlied. This was a totally delightfully discovery. For it, Mitchell was joined by violinists Roberto Gonzalez and Freya Franzen, plus a female chorus from the Guildhall School of Music and the Royal Academy of Music singing from the balcony.

As an encore, Sarah Walker sang Schubert's Standchen setting (not Shakespeare) for mezzo-soprano and chorus. Afterwards, Sarah Walker made a speech and decried her own performance. With the female chorus now on stage, Sarah Walker brought on one of them, Bethan Langford, to sing the solo in a repeat of the Schubert.

This was a beautifully thought out and quite delightful evening, full of some superb singing, and lovely discoveries. Johnson was his usual superb self at the piano. There was also the feeling that not only were we celebrating Sarah Walker's birthday, but the continuity to the younger generation. Sarah Walker demonstrated that her talent and charm have not diminished, and she was complemented by the fine performances from Mitchell, Whately and Loges.

Multivac says
will bring
50 new jobs

by Valerie Verkamp
Landmark assistant editor

Multivac, a worldwide leader in food and medical packaging, announced Thursday that it will expand operations at its U.S. headquarters in Platte County.

The $6.9 million expansion will generate 50 new jobs over the next few years, bringing its local work force to approximately 150 by the end of 2020. Company officials say they are actively seeking sales and technical talent, as well as engineering and field service technician staff members.

Multivac has been progressively growing its manufacturing of food packaging equipment in Kansas City for 25 years. The company is now a global leader in packaging solutions for food, medical, consumer and industrial products, with operations in over 140 countries.

"2015 was a record-breaking year for Multivac U.S. in terms of revenue," said Multivac CEO Jim Campbell. "We continue to expand and strengthen our presence in the U.S. market through our robust product lines and service offerings. Of course, our growth would not be possible without our talented associates driving it. Business demands and opportunities have put us in the fortunate position of being able to add headcount each year, which we will continue to do in 2016.”

Multivac provides products and services to some of the largest food processors in the nation. The company's machine-packaged products can be seen in grocery stores across the country. Fresh ground beef wrapped up on foam trays, packaged deli meats and cheeses, as well as individually portioned condiments and frozen food items are among the many items packaged by Multivac.

The local expansion, most of which was completed last year, will increase the total manufacturing space to 120,000 square feet. The additional space will come completely online in April, which allow the company to further meet the increasing demands of its manufacturing processes.

The Missouri Department of Economic Development points out that advanced manufacturing is one of the leading job creators in Missouri, with more than 16,000 new advanced manufacturing jobs created since 2010. The industry is attributed for contributing upwards of $35 billion to the economy.

“Advanced manufacturing is one of Missouri's most important and fastest growing industries,” said Mike Downing, director of the Missouri Department of Economic Development. “Companies such as Multivac continue recognizing the global advantages of Missouri in terms of access to market, cost savings, talent and more.”

The Missouri Department of Economic Development will administer a strategic economic incentive package to Multivac if the company continues to meet the specific job creation and capital investment criteria it has committed to with the expansion. The Platte County Economic Development Corporation served as a partner with the Missouri Department of Economic Development in securing the local expansion.

"We did ongoing business retention and made certain they had all the resources they needed," said Alicia Stephens, executive director of the Platte County Economic Development Council.

Newcomers to the cast also include Ana Gasteyer (Wicked, "Saturday Night Live") as Gloria and Tony Award winner Randy Graff (City of Angels, A Class Act) as Meg Boyd.

The threesome join the previously announced Jane Krakowski as Lola and Sean Hayes as Mr. Applegate.

Damn Yankees, which will play City Center July 5-27, will be directed by John Rando with musical direction by Rob Berman. Mary MacLeod will re-create the original Bob Fosse choreography. Opening night is scheduled for July 10.

Damn Yankees has a score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, a book by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop and is based on Wallop's novel "The Year The Yankees Lost the Pennant."

The musical, according to press notes, is described as such: "It is the story of Joe Boyd, the ultimate baseball fan, who sells his soul to the Devil (Sean Hayes) for the chance to help his team, the Washington Senators, win the pennant race against the Yankees. The Devil is aided by the sexy Lola (Jane Krakowski), who seduces Joe (Cheyenne Jackson), but ultimately helps him outsmart the Devil and return to his beloved wife (Randy Graff)." The original Broadway production of Damn Yankees opened at the 46th Street Theatre May 5, 1955, playing 1,019 performances before closing at the Adelphi Theatre, where it later transferred, on Oct. 12, 1957. Directed by George Abbott with musical numbers staged by Bob Fosse, the original cast included Gwen Verdon, Stephen Douglass and Ray Walston. The production won 1956 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Actor in a Musical (Walston), Best Actress in a Musical (Verdon), Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Russ Brown), Best Choreography (Fosse), Conductor and Musical Director (Hal Hastings) and Stage Technician (Harry Green).

(Jackson will be taking a leave of absence from Xanadu to perform in Damn Yankees but will return to the world of Xanadu following the Encores! production.)

Randy Graff received a Tony Award for her performance in Cy Coleman's City of Angels, and her other Broadway credits include Fiddler on the Roof, A Class Act, High Society, Moon Over Buffalo, Laughter on the 23rd Floor, Falsettos and Les Misérables as well as the City Center Encores! production of Do Re Mi. Off-Broadway she was seen in The Long Christmas Ride Home, Hotel Suite, A...My Name Is Alice, Coming Attractions and Pins and Needles as well as in the Williamstown Theatre Festival's mounting of The Threepenny Opera. Graff's screen credits include "Notes from the Underbelly," "Keys to Tulsa," "Moon Over Broadway," "Mad About You" and "Law & Order."

Best known for her work on "Saturday Night Live," Ana Gasteyer has appeared on Broadway in Wicked, The Threepenny Opera and The Rocky Horror Show and Off-Broadway in The Vagina Monologues and Kimberly Akimbo.

Brock Lesnar responds to Conor McGregor’s comments

If you have been following pro wrestling news recently, there are only two topics that are doing the rounds, one is Summerslam and the next is Conor McGregor’s comments about the WWE and the superstars.

Most of the pro wrestling world big wigs have responded, from Roman Reigns, Sasha Banks to the only Olympic gold medalist in wrestling, Kurt Angle. While we cannot really post what he said due to the expletive nature of the content, there were a lot of nasty things said.

One of the people not to care about the world and just go about minding his own business, Brock Lesnar too recently responded to the not so flattering comments McGregor made about Lesnar. Lesnar too, had expletives in response to what McGregor had to say. When asked about the same on the eve of the UFC 202 by Sam Roberts, here’s what Lesnar had to say

He said that he knows all of us play a lot of video games and live in a kind of a fantasy world. He weighs two hundred and ninety pounds, while Conor is a mere one hundred and forty five pounds. He also added that if Conor wanted to say something about him, he better come to Lesnar’s world (pro wrestling world) and say it face to face to me. Lesnar concluded by saying that he went to Connor’s world and was victorious, and if Connor is really that tough, he must prove his point by doing the same in the squared circle.

Well, this is not exactly what he said, we eliminated the expletives. Brock Lesnar has been in the news for calling out Bill Goldberg recently, and Goldberg responding in kind. While that might seem as a promotional work for the WWE 2k17 video game or perhaps WrestleMania 33, there seems to be severe heat on Conor from the whole wrestling community. The last time something like this happened, was when Dana White called pro wrestling fake and after facing flak, he had to apologize.

Although Conor did apologize, he also launched fresh shots aimed at the WWE in particular. It is worth noting that neither the WWE nor Dana White have responded, since both had a partnership of sorts for Lesnar’s one off match in the octagon.

Why was a thread asking questions about parcel tax blocked?

Original post made by John, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Apr 2, 2009

The following thread was closed off by the Pleasanton Weekly, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why since it was posted by a registered user who used her own name and asked intelligent questions.
Can anyone explain to me why this thread was closed off?

Open Response to a Board Member's Email
Schools & Kids, posted by Kathleen Ruegsegger, a resident of the Vineyard Avenue neighborhood, 11 hours ago

I am a former board member who has been watching the parcel tax issue. I decided to email the current board about the state of the district reserves. I was surprised by the response from one member. Here is my open response, with a cc to the community.

There is no direct reply to my original question of why the goal of a seven percent reserve was abandoned—a reserve that would buy the community time now to evaluate what really has been happening with the district’s budget and how best to find long-term solutions. While the issues at the state level compound the district’s problems, the response is an apparent abdication of responsibility for previous decisions that brought the district to this point.

Your question of why shouldn’t the community decide about restoring programs on the chopping block, though, leads to many of my own.

• Why have suggestions other than a parcel tax been ignored?

• Why were teachers and principals not surveyed for their ideas of what could be cut (not what they would personally give up)?

• Why was a survey not used to ask the community about what they support? Wouldn’t that be less expensive and less risky than an election to ask the same question?

• Why doesn’t the ballot language or the accompanying resolution specifically state what it will save (# teachers, # counselors, etc.)?

• Why doesn’t the ballot language indicate that no one will receive a raise during the life of the parcel tax? Couldn’t this be a better approach than asking for concessions from the unions? This would have made a smaller (less than $233) two- or three-year parcel tax easier to pass, allowing plenty of time to seek more permanent solutions without a heavier burden for tax payers in the current economy.

• Are board members and staff preparing more than one plan for what will happen if the tax does not pass?

• Why is the election in June and not May (nearly twice as expensive)?

• It has been suggested the one-item June election is an attempt to keep opposition voters out of the booth. If most Pleasanton voters use absentee ballots, wouldn’t this suggest that those who oppose the parcel tax will vote and that this additional cost is more money wasted?

• How does it make sense to consistently spend more money (taxpayer dollars) to ask the taxpayer to provide more funding?

To respond to your other points:

• Every one of the remaining days before June 2 is a just another campaign day—there has not been a sincere two-way conversation yet, only a drive from the position in favor of the tax.

• There was not much listening at the meetings. Those who spoke in opposition were admonished for their efforts to seek additional time and a different approach. The sacrifice by the union is appreciated, but may not have been necessary as noted above.

• Cutting class size reduction was the heaviest emotional hammer in the district’s toolbox, so I don’t agree the community/media endorsements have any real value to the voter.

Contrary to what seems to have been implied, I am very concerned for the 50% of my former co-workers losing their jobs, and I am equally upset for the dedicated teachers and classified staff members who find themselves in the same position. I’m also quite aware this tax isn’t for building reserves, which means the district still does not have a plan for ever achieving it’s stated goal.

The question remains—what happened to that goal for reserves? The answer points to money being spent with no regard for economic uncertainty and that this is the sole reason for the pink slips that were given throughout the district.

Saying it is “just 64 cents per day for four years” is how you don’t say it is $18.4 million dollars. Is the presumption you mention one about the voters not figuring that out?

I appreciate the dialog and look forward to your response.

The Weekly is trying to be half-pregnant with their anonymous posting policy. I've had two kids so far and for the life of me I can't figure out how anyone can be half-pregnant.

You ask a very good question. Although the answer should be obvious. The PW and its Editor are blatantly biased in their liberalism, just like the mainstream media including most other newspapers in metro areas.

This PW might as well be declared an additional tool of the democrat party (ps...note that I refuse to use the term "democrat-ic" party as their is nothing "democratic" about democrats.)

Is Mrs. Bing that works at Foothill High related to the editor of the Pleasanton Weekly? Is that why the Pleasanton Weekly censoring the posts that are against the parcel tax--because a relative of the editor is a school district employee?

On another thread, a poster named Mike identified Jan Bing, a counseling secretary at Foothill High School, as the wife of Jeb Bing. Mike also noted that Jan Bing received a pink slip.

in Jeb Bing's editorial of March 13th, he did not disclose that his wife is a PUSD employee.

Isn't such disclosure one of those journalistic duties? It's like when one reads news stories about the owners of the newspaper in which the story appears and they disclose that. PW should issue a correction in print.

I've purposely stayed clear of this fiasco since I don't have factual comments to present. However, I question why the Editor continues to publish articles concerning the parcel tax, such as "Chamber endorces Measure G parcel tax proposal", allowing "non registered" favorable comments but when the comments turn "unfavorable" the posting suddenly becomes "only registered posters"...

Something smells here. This Editor/Newspaper is certainly losing credibility with many in the community with what seem to be "selectivity". Those associated with this newspaper should be ashamed that such a double standard is allowed to exist...

Just a reminder that we are restricting all posts related to the June 2 parcel tax measure to registered users of the Pleasanton Weekly Town Square forum. We have found that this keeps the conversations more civil and focused without any restriction on what posters say or the opinions they express.

Horrible Cruise Is Over

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — They're glad this vacation is over. The passengers who were on the Carnival cruise ship Triumph get to wake up in hotels with hot showers and working toilets this morning. Their cruise ship pulled into port in Mobile, Ala., last night following what they describe as an unpleasant several days of no electricity, overflowing toilets, food shortages and foul odors. A fire broke out last weekend in the ship's engine room.

In this small city of less than 9,000 people, more than two dozen died of drug overdoses in 2010 and '11, the majority of them heroin-related.

PORT JERVIS, N.Y. — In this small city of less than 9,000 people, more than two dozen died of drug overdoses in 2010 and '11, the majority of them heroin-related.

In 2011 alone, cops responded to 47 overdose-related medical calls that didn't result in death.

"Heroin seems to be the illicit drug of choice," said Alice Smith of Restorative Management, a drug treatment center in Port Jervis.

The reason for the increase, say law enforcement officials, local drug abuse specialists and community activists, is a confluence of factors, including the old city's tri-state borders, its lack of job opportunities and the overall increase in prescription opiate abuse that can lead down the road to heroin.

Heroin use in Port Jervis isn't necessarily new, having peaked from 1998-99, said Port Jervis Police Chief William Worden, a native of the city whose father was mayor for about 10 years. But it's now climbing back in a new and big way, he said.

"It's colliding with prescription pain medications," said Worden.

Port Jervis, like many other cities, has features that make it a magnet for illicit drug abuse and sale — a bad economy, high unemployment, easy access to major roads like Interstate 84 and Route 209, and its location at the nexus of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, said the Rev. Robin Martineau, pastor of Wickham Methodist Church. Martineau was a recovering drug user who's spearheading efforts to combat drug use.

The fact that it's also the last stop on the end of the Port Jervis commuter train line linked to Hoboken, N.J., makes the tiny city an easy transfer station for drugs to come from out of state, said Martineau. With drugs coming in from New Jersey hubs Newark and Paterson along with the lure of quick cash from drug sales, dealing can be an attractive moneymaker.

The increase in heroin use also seems to be linked with the increased use of opiate-based painkillers, said Orange County Senior Assistant District Attorney Lorri Goldberg.

"It seems to start with pills and then they move on to heroin, which is cheaper," said Goldberg, who works drug court cases in Orange County. "When you hear their stories, you learn they start with prescription medication — Oxycontin, Percoset. Sometimes it's $60 a pill on the street. A baggie or deck is $10 to $20."

The classic profile of a heroin user has also changed, said Goldberg. With prescription opiate painkillers fueling use, an injury from a car accident can sometimes lead down the path to harder drugs, said Goldberg.

"It isn't just all people who have dropped out of high school. It's people in college. I've seen the nicest people ... nurses, doctors, teachers," said Goldberg.

Many of those heroin users live right across the border, in Pike County, making it a ready market for an area that geographically is more a part of Port Jervis than most of Orange County.

Pike County District Attorney Ray Tonkin agreed that heroin use has been on the rise in the past 18 months. They've targeted dealers through the Pike County Drug Task Force.

"We've seen an increase and we're hard at work to combat that," said Tonkin.

Heroin has also gotten cheaper and more potent, said Pike County Sheriff Philip Bueki, so users can snort it instead of injecting it. That possibility takes away the needle stigma often associated with the drug.

"The purity has gone off the charts," he said.

The Port Jervis Drug Task force was born after Police Chief Worden reached out in May to the community at a public forum called "Battling the Prescription Drug Abuse and Heroin Epidemic."

He compiled the number of overdose deaths himself after reviewing filed death certificates and police records, which is why numbers of overdose deaths in other local areas are not readily available. Worden said getting the community involved is part of an overall effort to beat back the rising tide of heroin in the area.

"We're not going to arrest our way out of this problem," said Worden.

Worden said partnering with other law enforcement agencies in New York and across state borders in Pennsylvania and New Jersey has helped in making busts. After an investigation by the Pike County DA's office, the Eastern Pike Regional Police and the Port Jervis police, Nydia Acevedo, 38, of Port Jervis, was arrested across the river in Westfall Township and charged with several felonies in both states. They estimated she was selling about 300 bags of heroin per week, making upward of $2,000 weekly.

But there's more out there.

Worden said he believes re-strengthening drug laws in New York to keep dealers in prison would help keep drugs off the streets. New York's once-strict Rockefeller Drug Laws were changed in 2009 to remove mandatory minimum sentences and to allow judges to send more offenders to treatment.

"They destroy people's lives. They destroy communities," said Worden.

"Supervillain city" is an oxymoron imo. Supervillains are usually divisive monomaniacs. Its difficult to imagine enough of them cooperating with each other long enough to form a city.
And *then* they leave some fully functional uber-weaponry on display in a museum for the publics benefit!?
1. I can see them banding together versus heroes after enough humiliating defeats. Imagine what the Legion of Doom would eventually evolve into.

2. The weapons they put in the museum were either obsolete clutter or gear once possessed by retired or dead villains.

Great looking art, but man am I tired of that style of character.

Project on Government Oversight

Congress Compromises with Executive Branch on Oversight of Intel Community

Related Content: Intelligence
Printer Friendly
October 5, 2010

The Senate last week approved the FY 2010 Intelligence Authorization Act, signaling that Congress has reached a compromise with the executive branch on the issue of oversight of the intelligence community.

But did the legislative branch give up too much?

In lieu of a provision directly clarifying the Government Accountability Office’s (GAO) authority to conduct oversight of the intelligence community, the Act requires the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to issue a written directive that will govern the GAO’s access to intelligence community information.

While the provision does require the DNI to consult with the Comptroller General—the top watchdog at the GAO—in crafting the directive, POGO worries that the provision leaves the DNI with far too much authority to determine what Congress can and cannot see, and is an inadequate substitute for the provision that drew a veto threat from the White House back in March.

Senator Dianne Feinstein’s, (D-CA) description of the new provision, Section 348, certainly doesn’t allay our concerns:

Section 348 represents a compromise that the Congress and the administration can support. It requires the Director of National Intelligence, DNI, to issue a directive on GAO access. While the directive shall be issued following consultation with the Comptroller General, the amendment is clear that this is to be the DNI's directive (Emphasis POGO’s).

Senator Feinstein goes on to say that the relevant congressional committees will be able to have a look at the directive before it goes into effect, at which point Congress can take legislative action if it sees fit. But if the past is any indicator, you can bet that—despite a well-documented need for additional oversight—the intelligence community, with the help of the White House, will fight tooth and nail to keep its operations under the radar.

Founded in 1981, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is a nonpartisan independent watchdog that champions good government reforms. POGO’s investigations into corruption, misconduct, and conflicts of interest achieve a more effective, accountable, open, and ethical federal government.

FBI Nominee Supports Whistleblowers and Transparency

James Comey

James Comey speaks after his nomination by President Obama to be the director of the FBI

Our Tabke Box

In his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday, President Barack Obama’s nomination for director of the FBI spoke in favor of protecting whistleblowers and increasing transparency in government, welcome words for Project On Government Oversight and its allies in pursuit of government accountability.

When asked about the issue of whistleblowers, James Comey, who served as deputy attorney general during the Bush administration, responded that whistleblowers are “a critical element of a functioning democracy” and gave his assurance that he would not retaliate against FBI whistleblowers.

However, Comey’s statements before the Judiciary Committee represent a slight departure from some of his previously recorded comments. In a speech given in 2007 that was recently broadcast on PBS NewsHour, Comey said, “[S]ome things can't leak. The flip side of that is, when they do leak, the government has to do something about it, has to, because we care about the rule of law.”

The nominee also faced questions from the Senate about the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) court, which has come under scrutiny for approving the vast majority of the government’s requests for expanded surveillance. Comey claimed that the judges are not “rubber stamps” for the government, but said that he would consider releasing declassified summaries of court opinions. “Transparency is a key value, especially when it helps the American people understand what the government is doing to try to keep them safe,” Comey said.

Comey has a history of advocating the right to privacy. When the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program came up for recertification in 2004, Comey was the acting attorney general while Attorney General John Ashcroft was hospitalized. After Comey refused to sign off on the program, President Bush’s then-counsel, Alberto Gonzales, visited Ashcroft’s bedside in an effort to override Comey’s recommendation and secure approval for the surveillance program, according to Comey, Ashcroft also refused to certify the program and Comey nearly resigned over the controversy.

Twitter effectively shuts down Politwoops

Twitter has taken away the Sunlight Foundation's access to its developer API, effectively shutting down the foundation's popular Politwoops site which tracked deleted tweets by politicians.

Gawker was the first to point out that the site had stopped publishing earlier this week. Initially, the foundation said it was a technical issue before a Twitter spokesperson confirmed to Gawker they had revoked the API access.

"We strongly support Sunlight’s mission of increasing transparency in politics and using civic tech and open data to hold government accountable to constituents, but preserving deleted Tweets violates our developer agreement. Honoring the expectation of user privacy for all accounts is a priority for us, whether the user is anonymous or a member of Congress," the spokesperson told Gawker.

Politwoops is incredibly popular among journalists, as it tracked everything from typos and staff misfires to actual changes in position or even secret daughters. When Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl returned home after years of captivity, several politicians sent out tweets welcoming him home and calling him an American hero. But as it emerged that Bergdahl may have deserted, the politicians deleted their tweets, only to be caught by Politwoops.

In another instance, Politwoops helped reveal that Rep. Steve Cohen has a 'secret daughter' after he deleted a series of tweets at a young woman during the State of the Union in 2013, though a DNA test later showed she wasn't actually his daughter.

We've reached out for comment from the Sunlight Foundation and will update here accordingly.

UPDATE (11:50a.m.):

In a 'eulogy' for Politwoops, Sunlight Foundation president Christopher Gates said Twitter's decision was completely out of the blue for the foundation after years of running the site with Twitter's blessing.

"We are truly mystified as to what prompted the change of heart, and it's deeply disappointing to see Twitter kill a project they had supported since 2012. It is also disturbing to us that our feed was cut almost three weeks ago and our only direct communication came from Twitter last night, when we were told that their decision was not something that we could appeal, and, most surprisingly, they were not interested in reviewing any of the email conversation from 2012. Clearly, something changed — and we’re not likely to ever know what it was," Gates said.

Gates wrote that when Politwoops launched in 2012, the foundation worked with Twitter on the API issue to ensure a human editor would weed out low-level tweets, and with Twitter's blessing launched the site. Their recent decision shows that the internet isn't a true public forum, he added.

"Unfortunately, Twitter’s decision to pull the plug on Politwoops is a reminder of how the Internet isn’t truly a public square. Our shared conversations are increasingly taking place in privately owned and managed walled gardens, which means that the politics that occur in such conversations are subject to private rules. (In this case, Twitter’s terms of service for usage of its API.)" the foundation's president, Christopher Gates wrote in the post.

"Sweet" Friend - Free Printable!

Over the past few months, I have noticed what fabulous friends I have! I truly am blessed to know such great people, and to have an amazing support system, especially since I'm living out of state about 800 miles from my family. My friends have listened to my rants and strongly held opinions (and trust me.... I rant about a lot of things.... I'm a very opinionated person), have watched my kids, have given me clothes for my kids when they've bought too much for their own kids (you know who you are.... wink, wink) and have just been plain old awesome.

 I have a friend who lives down the street from me (but not for long, boo!) and she has been so wonderful to live by. She is constantly bringing us treats,  delicious dinners, and is always having my kids over to play which means I can catch up on laundry or even sneak in a nap here and there. I wanted to do a little something for her to show my appreciation... so I text her hubby to see what her favorite scent from Bath and Body Works was, and he told me it was Sweet Pea. Honestly, who doesn't love that scent?

So, I headed to the mall to not only stock up on my own soaps (they were having their 5 for $20 deal. Can't beat that!) and I bought her some hand lotion, and I also bought a couple of Sweet Pea hand sanitizers to keep on hand. I created this little printable and made several copies to go along with the little sanitizers just for those little occasions when you want to say "Thanks". Too often, I mean to say thank you, or I mean to take treats to someone, and it just doesn't happen because life gets in the way. But having these printables on hand and ready to go will hopefully (fingers crossed, folks) help me to show my appreciation.

I hope you will take a minute to tell someone how much you appreciate them. Even if they don't love the fabulous scent of Sweet Pea, you can always give them a little candy bar, a container of ice cream, some cookies, or even donuts with this printable. There are a few different awesome ways that you could use this printable...

So seriously... take a minute, download it right here for free!! I put it on an 8.5 x 11 inch document because I always go to Kinkos and print it on glossy cardstock.

This morning, Project, Richard Branson's iPad-only magazine, went live in the iTunes store. Publishers Weekly gives a little glimpse inside the first issue. It looks very magaziney.

Speaking of which, Gawker head Nick Denton is announcing a new layout for Gawker that will launch in 2011. He's saying farewell, in part, to the eternal bottomless pit of blogs. Gawker will look more like a magazine:

The blog scroll, long the central element of the page, is shifted to the right column, still prominent but subordinate; that reverse-chronological listing of the latest stories goes from about two thirds of the active area of the front door down to one third; and only headlines are displayed.
In place of the original content column: one visually appealing "splash" story, typically built around compelling video or other widescreen imagery and run in full. At its best, a splash will match in visual impact the cover of a magazine or a European tabloid newspaper; and exceed it because the front-page image can actually move.

His explanation for why this change was necessary makes a lot of sense. During the Gizmodo iPhone scoop...

In order to keep video of the iPhone prototype at the top of the reverse chronological flow, Gizmodo actually stopped publishing for several hours. How ridiculous! In any sane medium, a story as powerful as that, one which was drawing more than 90% of the site's traffic, would be given commensurate real estate; and it wouldn't require a hack to keep the item prominent. Hence the splash story; now we can finally create front pages that match the visual impact of a tabloid wood or magazine cover; and we can leave them up as long as they're generating interest.

This is a smart move by Denton; the standard blog formula is great for immediacy's sake, but it just doesn't work if you're working on something a little denser than the standard news-cycle rehash. I expect to see more blogs mature into an online magazine format over the next few years.
