The Fortress of Solitude breaks every musical rule except this: It grabs you and never lets go. You walk out transformed by seeing a mirror of your humanity in souls you thought you’d never understand, with Michael Friedman’s melodies thrumming in your heart.
This adaptation of Jonathan Lethem’s acclaimed book has made a stunning debut at Dallas Theater Center with a production to follow at DTC’s co-producing partner, the Public Theater in New York. There’s work to be done in focusing the story and the blurry parental characters, but the show, as conceived and directed by Daniel Aukin, gets the big things right.
Dylan becomes one of the few white children in Brooklyn in the 1970s, a move initiated by his mother, who cuts and runs soon after, leaving a discarded wedding ring for her son to remember her by. Dylan’s story begins when he tells us about Mingus, a black child who protects him from a neighborhood tough.
Dylan and Mingus shape this tale. Adam Chanler-Berat delineates how Dylan’s fear ebbs as their friendship grows. As Mingus, Kyle Beltran’s swagger cloaks a nobility expressed through a voice as ethereal as that of an angel. When Dylan gives his mother’s ring to Mingus, they can fly like their comic-book heroes.
On Eugene Lee’s eloquently spare set, it’s the magic best friends find merging each other’s dreamscapes, portrayed with the homemade touch of shadow projections (by Jeff Sugg) on a hanging white sheet. It’s the chemical charge when bonds are snapped in a faulty familial molecule and reforged into a more enduring one.
Tragic repercussions ensue from Mingus’ identification with Superman and Dylan’s as his sidekick. Mingus’ drive to rescue others is both his glory and his kryptonite when he takes a drastic measure to save his father.
That action is where the friends’ roads diverge. It leads to prison for Mingus and a flight to college and academic success for Dylan, with parallels to the starkly different fates that await too many white and black children in America.
Itamar Moses’ resplendent adaptation falters in the second act as Dylan shifts focus to the musical career of Mingus’ father, Barrett Rude Jr. (Kevin Mambo). Though well performed, true to Lethem’s book and a fine excuse for more of Friedman’s bewitching songs, it’s an emotional detour. The musical would be better served by telling Barrett’s story through the lens of how Mingus changed Dylan, despite Dylan’s attempt to flee like his mother.
With references to Dylan living through other people’s pain — a veiled analogy to the theatergoer’s experience — Dylan needs to step up from sidekick to superhero and find himself by rescuing his friend.
Dylan can’t change Mingus’ physical fate, but they can fly again if Dylan tells the tough truth of Mingus’ story and helps his friend make his mark.

It isn't easy being the first. Especially when you're the first black scholarship athlete at the University of Alabama, which basketball player Wendell Hudson was in the autumn of 1969.
The first day he walked into Bryant Hall for a meal during the football team's two-a-day practices, silence swept over a dining hall that had been filled with noisy conversation seconds earlier.
"I'll never forget how quiet it got," Hudson recalled Saturday. "There was no sound."
Yet it was also somewhat understandable.
"These were rural Southern kids, most of whom had never gone to school with blacks," said then-Bama basketball coach C.M. Newton. "They weren't sure how to act."
And the early questions directed Hudson's way could be clumsy.
"The typical stereotyping," he said. "How fast can you run? How high can you jump? I had to tell them I wasn't that fast, I was just a basketball player."
But thanks to the man the Bryant Hall dormitory was named for -- legendary football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant -- that dynamic changed quickly.
"We had to go to the dining hall every night at 10 for a light snack," said Hudson, who'd grown up 60 miles away in Birmingham. "Usually a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, some fruit, a glass of milk. Coach Bryant always came by to eat something, too."
Having found himself at the front of the line one night, Hudson was sitting all alone at a table when the most unmistakable voice in the Heart of Dixie asked him, "Can I sit with you?"
"I can't even tell you what Coach Bryant and I talked about," Hudson said. "Just small talk. I was no nervous I was just trying to choke down that peanut butter and jelly sandwich and get out of there."
But Bear's gesture served its purpose.
Or as Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart -- a junior member of the Bama basketball team that season -- noted: "I never saw black and white with Wendell, and I don't think our teammates did, either. We accepted him from the beginning, just like we would have anyone else."
But that didn't mean his life was uniformly comfortable. There were professors who didn't want him in their classes. There were students who shunned him. Even some of Tide's boosters were upset, despite the fact that Hudson would eventually become the SEC player of the year.
"Some of our fans were ready [for integration]; some weren't," said Newton, who had previously integrated the basketball program at Transylvania in Lexington, Ky. "It was terribly difficult."
But the most difficult single night is still nearly as vivid to Hudson today as it was 42 years ago when the Tide traveled to Oxford, Miss., to face the Ole Miss Rebels.
"They didn't use league officials for freshman games," he said. "They used local refs to save money. I fouled out in five minutes. And there was a reason for that. It forced me to sit on the bench and listen to horrible stuff from the crowd. Awful racial slurs. Ugly, ugly things. It was the worst verbal abuse of my whole life."
But a lot can change in 42 years. Hudson will coach the Crimson Tide women today when they visit Vanderbilt in their final regular-season game before the Southeastern Conference tournament. And he worked at Ole Miss in the mid-1980s, exactly 10 years after his playing career ended.
"Things change; people change," he said. "I'm not going to say everything's perfect. But things are a lot better for blacks in the South today than they were when I was growing up."
As the final days of Black History Month tick away, things have become so much better for black football and men's basketball coaches in the SEC that the league is now SECond to none when it comes to black head coaches in those sports among the six power conferences.
Think about that: The league that once saw Lester Maddux run the state of Georgia and Alabama governor George Wallace briefly block the entrance to Foster Auditorium in a failed attempt to keep Vivian Malone and James Hood from registering for UA classes in 1963 now leads the nation in diversity in its two biggest money-generating sports.
In fact, Hudson now coaches some games inside a renovated Foster.
"Progress has been made," he said.
The SEC currently has two black head football coaches -- Kentucky's Joker Phillips and Vanderbilt's James Franklin -- and five men's head basketball bosses: Anthony Grant at Alabama, Mike Anderson at Arkansas, Tony Barbee at Auburn, Trent Johnson at LSU and Cuonzo Martin at Tennessee.
In the current school year that's at least two more than in any of the other five BCS leagues, the Big East and Pac-12 each totaling five over the two sports, the ACC and Big 12 two each and the Big Ten but one -- Minnesota basketball coach Tubby Smith.
What's more, the Big 12's two black coaches -- Missouri basketball coach Frank Haith and new Texas A&M football coach Kevin Sumlin -- will both become SEC coaches next season.
And to think the SEC didn't hire its first black head basketball coach until Wade Houston came to Tennessee in 1989 and didn't have a black head football coach until Sylvester Croom went to Mississippi State in 2004.
Yet in the years since, every school in the league except South Carolina and Florida has had at least one black coach in either football or men's basketball.
"I am pleased we have made significant improvements in the hiring and promoting of minority coaches," said SEC commissioner Mike Slive, who made minority employment a priority when he took over the league in 2002.
"Diversity makes us stronger and we will continue to focus on fostering an environment that creates opportunities for all, including student-athletes, coaches and administrators."
Yet even now some coaches and former coaches wonder if there's not a different standard for black coaches -- a higher standard, a less forgiving standard.
Much last year's ESPN documentary "The Color Orange" about former Tennessee quarterback Condredge Holloway's struggles as the SEC's first black signal caller caused us to revisit a difficult time, this year's ESPN production "Forty Minutes of Hell" has focused on he rocky road former Arkansas basketball coach Nolan Richardson traveled on his way to the 1994 NCAA title.
"My biggest problem is that I feel like we're [blacks] judged as a group while Caucasian coaches are judged as individuals," said Richardson, who remains one of just three black coaches to have won an NCAA title -- the other two being former Georgetown coach John Thompson and Minnesota's Smith during his time at Kentucky.
"If I had failed, a lot of people behind me might not have gotten a chance. For years and years, if we were fired, we never resurfaced as a head coach."
Added current Razorbacks coach Anderson, who was Richardson's top assistant on the NCAA title team: "It's up for debate, I guess, but I don't think there's any question that the SEC has the number of black coaches it has today because of what Nolan accomplished."
Hudson somewhat disputes this, siding with Newton in the belief that the growth of black coaches in the SEC has been a "natural progression."
Hudson does believe blacks still lag behind when it comes to athletic administration, where "there's still much work to do," he says.
Yet Newton also once said of Hudson's presence on the Tide campus: "Who's probably had the most influence on my career? Wendell. If he hadn't succeeded, I'm back at Transylvania. There's no question about that."
Without Hudson, even Coach Bryant's legacy might have been different. After all, the first black football players didn't arrive until a year or two after Hudson, and many of those players paved the way for Bear's glorious run through the 1970s and his back-to-back national championships in 1978 and 1979.
Or as Hart noted, "Wendell didn't just help recruit basketball players by telling them what a good place Alabama was; he told a lot of football recruits the same thing. He was one of the best recruiters they had."
Which just goes to show you should never underestimate the power of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

There has been lots of talk during the 2012 election season about efforts to suppress the vote or, as I like to refer to it, “thinning the electorate.” The legislative requirement that voters validate their existence with documentary evidence was part of that effort, made supposedly less onerous by letting forgetful people fill out provisional ballots and then come back with the paper-work a few days later. Suspicious people assumed that the provisional ballots would, like the ballots of absentee voters never be counted, regardless of whether they’d be validated, because that’s what had always been done. Nobody bothered to count the ballots of absent voters, unless their number was large enough to make a difference in a tight race, because, speaking frankly, it would require a lot of work that people who couldn’t be bothered to show up in person weren’t worth.
Besides, rubber stamp voters who just followed the party line were largely considered a nuisance by the political operatives, who had to go through a lot of effort for what they considered to be entirely predictable results. Which they were in large part because a significant percentage of the vote, enough votes to make a difference, had always been thrown out, as a matter of course, because voters had made mistakes. See, it’s always the voters fault when votes don’t get counted.
When the State of Georgia was persuaded to go all electronic with voting machines, the Secretary of State was most conscientious and made lots of speeches to interested citizen groups, explaining that one of the main reasons for going electronic was because when paper ballots were used, they routinely threw out ten percent because of one mistake or another — like voting for three people instead of the two needed to fill available positions. Who knew that one mistake would cancel the whole ballot?
Some people might say that the documentary hoop is just another effort to introduce an “opportunity” for people to make mistakes and get their votes canceled. Others don’t get the problem because they can’t imagine why anyone would want to suppress the vote. It doesn’t occur to them that decades of hand-wringing over low voter participation were actually expressions of glee that only the habit-prone base had turned out and independent thinkers had been persuaded not to waste their time and stayed home. Who knew that the old guard had been working year in and year out, round the clock, to make voting a special event for some people (their base) and unattractive for most?
Who knew that the press and other purveyors of propaganda had a common interest in controlling the outcome of races, not just because they are into control, but because their business model is geared to the horse race and candidates contesting each other, rather than having to pay attention to what the voters actually do? Who knew that part of that business model demands a sudden end, a clear decision on election day, so they can go on to the next event, even though all the votes, absentee and provisional, haven’t been counted yet? Apparently not Dr. Carmona, who was persuaded to concede the election for the U.S. Senate from Arizona to Mr. Flake, even though over six hundred thousand ballots have yet to be counted; more than half of which are the result of early voting.
Presumably, the concession won’t count, if the results of counting the early voting ballots show that Carmona was actually selected by the majority. But, there’s still the problem that, if the people who filled out provisional ballots are led to think their vote is not going to count anyway, they likely won’t bother to come back with the validating papers, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy and validating the preconceived notion that some voters just aren’t serious and don’t deserve to be considered. And for some people, validating preconceived notions is sweeter than any success. Not to mention that counting is such a drag.
See, it’s not even necessary to posit any kind of antagonism to account for suppressing the vote. Laziness and a cavalier attitude will take care of it.

The Danish government has proposed a ban on Islamic full-face coverings in public spaces. “It is incompatible with the values in Danish society and disrespectful to the community to keep one’s face hidden when meeting each other in public spaces,” said the justice minister, Søren Pape Poulsen.
He added: “With a ban on covering the face we are drawing a line in the sand and underlining that in Denmark we show each other trust and respect by meeting face to face.”
The proposal will be assessed by non-governmental human rights organisations and possibly rewritten to take their remarks into consideration.

The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) says Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) for citizens who registered in the Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) between April and December 2017 will be ready for collection on May 21.
The commission disclosed this in a statement by its Director of Publicity and Voter Education, Mr Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi in Abuja on Friday.
Osaze-Uzzi said the decision was reached on May 10 when the commission met in Abuja.
This, according to Osaze-Uzzi, includes registered citizens who applied for transfers and replacement of their lost PVCs within the said period.
He added that “such persons are to report at the INEC Local Government Offices and other designated registration centres nationwide with their Temporary Voter Cards (TVCs) to collect their PVCs.’’
He assured Nigerians who registered in the ongoing CVR that their PVCs would be ready for collection in good time before the 2019 general elections.
For further enquiries, Osaze-Uzzi advised citizens to contact the nearest INEC office or INEC Citizens Contact Centre (ICCC), twitter handle, facebook and website.
The Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, had on May 3 disclosed that the commission had taken delivery of four million PVCs for distribution to the electorate registered in 2017.
Yakubu said the PVCs would be delivered to states for onward distribution to their owners in the next few days.
He had earlier promised that the PVCs for Nigerians who registered during the CVR would be ready for collection in May. (NAN)

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIORBUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT
News.bytes Extra, issue 441
The public is heard at Los Angeles listening session
“There are more representatives of federal government agencies here today than I’ve seen in my whole lifetime. And now that you’re all here – could you do one thing? Could you learn how to talk to each other?” That thought seem to paraphrase many of the 800 participants in a listening session for America’s Great Outdoors last Thursday at Occidental College in Los Angeles. (text continues below)
Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson, and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, among a host of other top government officials, took on a barrage of questions and suggestions from opinion leaders, public-land stakeholders, and the general public. The session was part of President Obama’s America’s Great Outdoors initiative for hearing the public’s ideas for building a 21st Century conservation and recreation agenda that reconnects Americans with their “great outdoors.”
In the heart of urban Los Angeles, most questions and comments focused on revitalizing the Los Angeles River, enhancing the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, and protecting the San Gabriel Mountains. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issues such as renewable energy, multi-use of public lands, and wild horses and burros did surface, however.
The crowd roared with applause, hoots, and hollers when someone exclaimed, “The Mojave Desert should not become a parking lot for renewable energy!” Secretary Salazar calmly replied, “We can have both – renewable energy and protect the Mojave Desert.”
Representing the Off-Road Business Association, Desert Advisory Council Member Meg Grossglass told the secretary that a comprehensive Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) recreation management plan was needed for the California Desert. Secretary Salazar nodded and assured the audience that all comments and suggestions would be summarized in a report to the president due November 15th.
At various times, two opponents to BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program attempted to disrupt the listening session by screaming out, “Wild horses and burros! Wild horses and burros!” While the audience hissed and booed the two, the secretary seemed unperturbed by the incidents.
Breakout sessions brought forth the mention of further BLM issues including lack of public transportation outside urban areas that makes it nearly impossible for folks without cars to connect with nature; lack of cycling opportunities vs. OHV opportunities on public lands; fragmentation of public lands; and the environmental consequences of the BLM selling land to expand the city of Las Vegas.

Although Nahri can wield power, she has never believed in magic and on the streets of 18th century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent – the ability to swindle Ottoman nobles under the guise of palm readings, healings but when Nahri accidentally summons a djinn warrior to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to accept that the magical world she thought only existed in childhood stories is real. Behind gilded brass walls laced with enchantments, old resentments are simmering and when Nahri decides to enter this world, she learns that true power is fierce and brutal.
This is my 2018 book love!!! From start to finish, I absolutely loved this book, I really enjoyed the incredible, magical, fast paced world building as well as the dialogue between the characters we come to meet throughout the story. I also loved the historical aspects of the book and the accurate referencing to King Sulaiman, Djinn (or Daeva), The Ottoman Empire, Egypt and Turkey. With it, the developing story line kept me on the edge of my seat and a few times I thought I managed to predict what will happen next – I was wrong. I also found with this book that it was one of those books I wanted to immerse myself in so much that I took my time to read it – and by the time I got to the end of the story, I just had to pay it a moment of silence before I could go on. Every chapter I was reading, there was something happening, I also loved how well defined the characters were and how each character made you question your loyalty in the book (whose side are you on in this new, political world).
An historical/urban fantasy suitable to older YA and adult readers – a story full of magic, intrigue and mystery, I give this under-hyped debut novel a 10/10 and I really can’t wait for the next instalment!!!

Purina announces huge new factory, 300 jobs in Clermont County
Nestlé Purina PetCare said Monday it will build its first new American factory in 45 years in Clermont County that will employ 300 workers.
Construction is set to begin shortly and the $550 million plant will become operational in 2023. It will become the 10th American facility producing dry pet food, including Purina Pro Plan, Purina One and Dog Chow. The Williamsburg Township plant will become the company’s 23rd overall plant in the U.S.
Once completed, the 1.2- million-square-foot facility will be as large as the Kenwood Towne Centre. Ohio and local officials have agreed to provide a package of at least $6.8 million tax incentives to secure the project.
“Close collaboration between JobsOhio, its local partners and the Development Services Agency were essential to attracting Purina’s newest facility and 300 jobs to Ohio,” said Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.
State officials said Ohio won the project over competing bids by North Carolina and Kentucky.
Purina’s incentive package includes an estimated $2 million state job creation tax credit of 1.714% over 10 years. The incentives also include an estimated $4.8 million sales tax exemption on construction and supply costs from the Port Authority of Clermont County.
Further incentives Purina is getting are a 100% local enterprise zone tax exemption from the township and Clermont County, while the Williamsburg school district will receive at least $320,000 per year payment in lieu of taxes. Local officials said they haven't determined the value of the enterprise zone exemption.
“We are grateful for the partnership at the state and local levels, and we’re excited to call Clermont County home,” said Nina Leigh Krueger, president of Purina.
Purina officials said the region’s manufacturing talent and central U.S. location made Clermont a logical choice for the new factory.
“Clermont County is an excellent location for Purina’s newest factory thanks to the region’s distribution opportunities, a workforce with great potential and strong community values,” said Nolan Terry, vice president of manufacturing for Purina.
Officials with the Regional Economic Development Initiative (REDI) Cincinnati said the project is one of the largest investments by a company moving new operations to the region in more than five years.
“Nestlé Purina Petcare is an incredibly welcome addition to the Cincinnati region’s food manufacturing,” said Kimm Lauterbach, REDI Cincinnati president, noting the 300 food and flavoring companies with operations in the area.
The plant will be in the South Afton Industrial Park. The facility will use robotics and innovative digital tools and feature a training center to promote learning and development. Purina paid $6.95 million for the land earlier this month, Clermont County Auditor's Office records show.
“Clermont County will recoup its initial investment in South Afton. This is a win for Clermont County government, the Williamsburg area, Nestlé Purina and the residents of Clermont County,” said David Painter, president of Clermont County Board of Commissioners.
Purina said the factory will fully be staffed by 2024 and the jobs will include professional staff, production operators, technical staff and engineers.
State officials say the plant's annual payroll will be more than $12.5 million. The project is the second new factory Purina has announced in 2020 after the company announced last month it would convert a former brewery into a factory in North Carolina.
Overall, Nestlé employs 3,300 people in Ohio. It has operations in Solon, Marysville, Cleveland, Brecksville and Zanesville.
Ohio officials on Monday also announced a separate $210,000 incentive deal to win a new location project in Blue Ash for 3D metal printing machine manufacturer, AddUp.
State officials say the facilty will create 25 new jobs with a $2.3 million annual payroll. The state beat out South Carolina for the project.

What is it about owls? Why are we so attracted to them?
As I write this I'm wearing my favourite red owl ring, there is just something irresistible about the owl, isn't there?
Did you know that there are 130 species of owl? Yep, you read that right, you'll find owls almost anywhere in the world. In symbology they represent Death, they are messengers (often of bad news), they represent darkness & the night. In Greek mythology the owl is associated with the goddess Athena and truth, as well as with the Roman goddess Diana who was a lunar goddess. The Celts viewed the owl as both a diplomat and a messenger, with the maiden of flowers, Blodeuweed, transforming in to an owl.
These days we tend to cutify (that is now totally and utterly a real word!) owls quite a lot. Ever since man discovered cartoons I think we've done that with a lot of animal species, perhaps to make them less frightening.
To me owls represent wisdom. They are hunters and particularly astute ones at that. They are so powerful and yet so beautiful. Owls also make me think of my mum as she absolutely loves them too.
I'll have some owl themed jewellery coming your way soon, so stay tuned!

Inflated praise can harm kids with low self-esteem: study
Inflated Praise Can Harm Kids With Low Self-Esteem: Study. Inflated Praise Can Harm Kids With Low Self-Esteem
Washington: A new study has found that parents and other adults heap the highest praise on children with low self-esteem, but while kids with high self-esteem seem to thrive with inflated praise, their counterparts actually shrink from new challenges when adults go overboard on praising them.
The research by Eddie Brummelman from The Ohio State University is the first research to empirically examine the impact of inflated praise.
What exactly is inflated praise? For this research, it was small changes in the praise given to children, often involving just the addition of one additional word. Inflated praise included an adverb (such as "incredibly") or adjective (such as "perfect") signaling a very positive evaluation.
In one of three related studies, Brummelman and his colleagues found that adults gave twice as much inflated praise to children identified as having low self-esteem compared to those children with high self-esteem.
Results showed that parents praised their children about 6 times during the session, and about 25 percent of the praise was inflated.
Eddie said, it was found that inflated praise might put too much pressure on those with low self-esteem.
"If you tell a child with low self-esteem that they did incredibly well, they may think they always need to do incredibly well. They may worry about meeting those high standards and decide not to take on any new challenges."
Eddie said,The lesson may be that parents and adults need to fight their urge to give inflated praise to children with low self-esteem.

“In morphological progress man apparently represents only an intermediate stage between monkeys and great edifices. Forms have become more and more static, more and more dominant. The human order from the beginning is, just as easily, bound up with architectural order, which is no more than its development.” - George Bataille1
While he condemns architecture, Bataille’s words are refreshing. He believes that architecture holds significant power. His architecture is a poltergeist: a post-human agent that engineers man as the unaware means of its self-preservation and propagation. Its intelligence and productive drive operate as a passive virus, generating its own life through a static, insidious silence. Bataille’s architecture is quiet. It is the ghost in the room that is the room. It surrounds us, sitting solid and stoic.
While Bataille’s architecture is an uncanny object, it nonetheless holds its base value. It allows us to be inside it. It protects us from the elements and the exterior other. This service is comforting, albeit perhaps deceptively. The symbiosis of enclosure and construction frames a complex political history of inside and outside, a tale of binaries told by many—but what if an inside was not made for us, but for the possibility of inside itself?
“love stories are stories of form...every act of solidarity is an act of sphere formation, that is to say the creation of an interior” - Peter Sloterdijk2
Dimly lit curvature, skin on skin, writhes and presses within a cropped frame. A naked embrace is coated in what could be dust or ash. A granular albedo surfaces, the glistening coat of a precious metal, or the micro-liquefaction of freshly burned flesh, censored by black and white. The radiant ashen scar eventually dissipates, leaving a somewhat familiar texture of human skin. While unharmed, its surface remains obscure and dark.
The brief encounter of a lonely architect and a visiting actress in Alain Resnais's 1959 film Hiroshima mon Amour, coupled with its backdrop of apocalyptic aftermath, frame a strangely fertile ground, both cathartic and anticipatory. Her anguished memories and his ruined past construct a passionate yet tenuous romance, a fleeting interior of intimate enclosure.
Surrounding this intra-personal sphere sits a series of interchangeable architectural backdrops characterized by open windows, sparse rooms, raw materials, empty lots, empty bars, and the ruins of Little Boy. Resnais' architecture is vacant, quiet, and post-mortem. It is unstable, as short-lived as the interior formed by the two lovers or the suggested melting of their skin.
In Resnais’ film, Bataille’s powerful architecture is nowhere to be found. Architecture has suffered the same fate as its unknowing propagators. Even the museum seems to lose its suppressive power,3 as the camera scans through an almost vacant gallery filled with shattered architectural fragments, piles of radiated stone, and raw frames that hold the history of a city's destruction in a redundant indexing of irrepressible empathy.
The quiet, hidden power of architecture with its unyielding and haunting post-human desires is no longer possible. As Eisenhower states in a speech before the United Nations in 1953, man’s powerful edifices have become a delicate heritage, something that needs to be protected and cared for, something feeble and precious. With this decree, architecture breaks its silence and reenters the realm of contemplative culture as something to be seen, discussed, and cherished—however, now as an object in the museum, within a catalogue of dead and delicate works.
In this same speech, Eisenhower also sets into motion the international project of nuclear reactor construction.
"Since the start of the Modern Age, the human world has constantly—every century, every decade, every year and every day—had to learn to accept and integrate new truths about an outside not related to humans.” - Peter Sloterdijk4
Nuclear fission’s radiative transparency has melted the certainty of all private spheres, architectural and corporeal. It has forced a conceivable future of a permanent outside, rendering the possibility of an interior as fundamentally unstable.
The construction of the reactor was a poetic, public, and romantic attempt to reanimate a posthumous art, combining a collective nostalgia for certainty with the certainty of scientific progress. The apotheotic reactor sought to reestablish the possibility for a stable interior through an inversion—to permanently enclose a powerfully destructive force within a sphere of monumental construction, to place the permanent outside inside.
Yet despite its spectacular edifice, on a scale far grander than anything Bataille could have imagined, the architecture of the reactor remains fundamentally weak and unstable. Its walls are fortified, but with a redundant layering of extra-architectural opacities: softly rendered utopian imagery, extra-populous sitings, a vitriolic discourse of public opinion, the ambivalence of science, the complacency of normalcy, and rigorous security protocols. The certainty of its private interior is not maintained through architectural means, but rather through methods of distraction, decoy, and digression.
The architectural encounter was at once a curse and an opportunity: a time for the victim to feel architecture’s quiet power and become infected by its viral oppression or a time for the critic to perceive architecture not as a background but as a powerful other with a will of its own.
If we are to find a meaningful way forward for a quiet, weakened art, whose fundamental nature of creating separation and inclusion can be powerful, empathetic, abusive, violent, benevolent, nostalgic or futile, we should encounter architecture in its most extreme, yet still quiet form—to pass through its build-up of layers, to look upon a sublimely precious architecture, and to gaze into its outside.

Athens-Clarke County has retained its Bronze-level Bicycle Friendly Community designation from the nonprofit League of American Bicyclists, making it one of 404 communities across the country that have either retained or earned a ranking for integrating bicycling into their transportation infrastructure.
Communities are assessed on a voluntary basis, and are awarded one of five levels of bicycle-friendliness — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Diamond. The award status is conferred for four years, and communities can move up in the rankings as they work to make bicycles more a part of local transportation alternatives.
"We are encouraged by the growing number of leaders who see bicycling as a way to build more vibrant, healthy, sustainable and connected communities and be a part of the solution to many complex challenges faced at both the community and national levels, Bill Nesper, vice president of programs at the League of American Bicyclists, said in a news release announcing this year’s round of Bicycle-Friendly Community designations.
This year marked the largest number of communities ever to receive the Bicycle-Friendly Community designations, according to the release.
Athens-Clarke County’s latest Bronze designation came with a "report card" from the League of American Bicyclists outlining where the community will need to be to achieve a Silver designation in the future. According to that report card, bicyclists represent 1.7 percent of commuter traffic in Athens; in the average Silver-rated community, that number is 2.8 percent of commuters.
Elsewhere in the report card, Athens-Clarke County scored 5 out of a possible 10 points in "engineering," a review of the local bicycle network and its connectivity. Athens scored 3 out of a possible 10 points in education (a measure of motorist awareness and cyclists’ skills); encouragement (efforts to "mainstream" bicycle culture), and evaluation and planning. Athens managed just 2 of the possible 10 points available in the category of promoting safety and protecting bicyclists’ rights.
In suggesting a path forward for Athens in terms of its bicycle infrastructure, the league’s report card acknowledges the county’s current work toward developing a master plan for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, calling it "a great step to improving conditions for bicycling and institutionalizing processes for continual improvement."
The report card goes on to suggest that the county hire a "bicycle and pedestrian coordinator" to improve execution of bicycling- and walking-related projects.
Also, the report card suggests working with the University of Georgia "to understand where the university and community can work together to create conditions that support bicycling."
In its newsletter this week, BikeAthens, the local alternative transportation advocacy group, notes Athens-Clarke County’s redesignation as a Bronze-level Bicycle-Friendly Community, and indicates that it will begin to "talk in more detail about a roadmap for Athens to move from Bronze to Silver" in the next League of American Bicyclists assessment.
"Certainly our Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan will help," the newsletter notes.

If you are driving alongside a large truck and one of its tires explodes, the result may be terrifying.
It is extremely difficult for a truck driver to maintain control over his vehicle when a tire has blown. The truck may veer across lanes and collide with one or more other vehicles. Other drivers, trying to evade the weaving truck, may accidentally crash into a different car or truck. Fragments of shredded tire become flying debris that can also trigger cascading accidents.
The crasher that follow a tire blowout can cause property damage and potentially severe injuries for other motorists. To prevent these accidents, truck drivers are required to inspect their vehicles—tires included—and keep them in top shape.
Truck Driver Obligations to Inspect Tires Before Trips
What are the obligations of truck drivers when it comes to their tires? The following is an overview:
- Truck drivers are required by law to conduct pre-trip inspections of their vehicles.
- These inspections include checking a tire’s pressure to ensure that it does not have either too little or too much air. Tires that have improper tire pressure can deteriorate over time and ultimately lead to failures.
- Drivers must also inspect the amount of wear and tire on their tires. Worn tires are more likely to blow or leak, potentially causing a crash. Signs that a tire is deteriorating include tread wear, tread and sidewall damage, and air leakage.
- Drivers are further required to make sure that their tires are not damaged.
Drivers are not the only parties responsible for properly inspecting or maintaining a vehicle’s tires. A trucking company may also be liable after an accident if they did not maintain and inspect the tires in accordance with the regulations outlined by the Department of Transportation. It is important for victims to seek guidance from a knowledgeable professional in order to ensure that they receive the maximum compensation for their injuries after an accident.

“Think About Energy” Briefing Conducted in Hazleton
28 Apr 2016
Informative Presentations on Natural Gas Price, Supply, and New Technologies Provided to Area Business Leaders
April 28, 2016 – Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation, UGI Utilities, UGI Energy Services, the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce, Can Do, and the Northeast PA Manufacturers and Employers Association hosted a Think About Energy briefing on Thursday, April 28 at Genetti Catering, Hazleton.
Today’s Think About Energy briefing was the ninth in a series of briefings conducted across Pennsylvania over the past three years. The Hazleton session provided information to attendees on the supply and price outlook for natural gas; natural gas infrastructure developments; and natural gas use in the power, transportation, and commercial sectors, among other topics.
George Stark, director of external affairs at Cabot, discussed the importance and the need for greater infrastructure investments to bring natural gas to businesses and consumers in Pennsylvania and other regional markets.
“Pennsylvania produced more than 4.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in 2015 and is now the country’s second highest gas producer. We have an amazing opportunity to not only put this local fuel to work in our local communities, but to also energize our neighboring states. We need to keep infrastructure projects like the Atlantic Sunrise Pipeline, PennEast Pipeline and others moving forward to spread the environmental and economic benefits that natural gas offers,” Stark said.
Becky Eshbach, director of marketing programs and strategy for UGI Utilities, and Allen Coleman, manager of midstream business development for UGI Energy Services, provided information on Pennsylvania markets and opportunities for local customers.
“UGI customers are seeing savings of more than 40 percent over their natural gas bills from five years ago,” Eshbach said. “Commercial customers who converted to natural gas are seeing significant savings as a result of this unprecedented period of stable cost and plentiful supply. This makes natural gas the logical choice to encourage economic growth and business success.”
Coleman emphasized the importance of infrastructure development in delivering plentiful supplies to markets and consumers.
“As the infrastructure required to bring additional supplies of Marcellus Shale natural gas to market continues to develop,” Coleman said, “there will be even greater availability of natural gas for business customers throughout Pennsylvania, resulting in lower and more stable energy pricing. This is a tremendous opportunity for Pennsylvania businesses to take advantage of a homegrown resource.”
Robert Watts, Northeast Regional Director of the Governor’s Action Team, began the meeting by stressing the importance of natural gas to Pennsylvania economic development.
Moxie Energy, PepsiCo, the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Association, and Trillium CNG presented information on recent projects in the region and discussed opportunities for future growth. These projects take advantage of clean-burning natural gas. From power generation, to fueling transportation, to combined heat and power (generating electricity and useful heat simultaneously), these applications and uses provide significant savings through the greater use of natural gas.
About Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. – Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation is an independent natural gas producer and a leading developer of the natural gas supply contained in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania. For more information, visit the Company’s homepage at www.cabotog.com.
About UGI Utilities Inc. – Headquartered in Reading, Pa., the company serves more than 680,000 customers in 45 Pennsylvania counties and one county in Maryland. Customers interested in additional information can visit the UGI website at www.ugi.com; on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ugiutilities; and Twitter at www.twitter.com/ugi_utilities.

The IU School of Medicine is currently in the process of choosing a new dean, and the selection committee is down to the final six candidates.
Finalists began on-campus interviews last week in Indianapolis, according to a press release.
The new dean and vice president for university clinical affairs will succeed Dr. D. Craig Brater, who is retiring in June after 27 years with the school. Brater has been the dean since July 2000.
The chair of the search committee, IU School of Dentistry Dean John Williams, said the search began in September with the help of an academic search firm.
“We developed a job description, then broadly advertised the position in academic journals,” Williams said. “There was a wide invitation. Then applicants could apply, and the search committee looked over resumes and chose pools of people they wanted to talk to.”
After the resumes were looked through, the top candidates were narrowed down and invited to off-campus interviews, Williams said. Then the applicants were narrowed down to six, and their on-campus interviews will span the next few weeks.
Once on campus, Williams said the process of interviews will be intensive.
“The interviews will be two days long,” Williams said. “The applicants will meet with faculty, grad students and leadership of the IU Medical Centers. Then I will take the information and identify an even more reduced list that will go to [IU President Michael] McRobbie and the chancellor.”
The search committee hopes to have made a final choice on the new vice president and dean by this spring.
“It’s hard to know when the final decision will be made, because it all comes down to McRobbie and the chancellor,” Williams said.
The committee’s goal of choosing a new dean is to keep up with everything the School of Medicine has been doing in recent years.
“There are many dynamic changes facing medicine,” Williams said. “The leadership is very important. We want to keep momentum going, contribute to medical research and education and care.”

Amperometric glucose sensors proves worthy in monitoring of diabetic patients’ blood glucose levels wherever they are. Such constant monitoring of blood glucose has spurred other affiliated health sector needs for improvement of the condition. It is apparent that effective treatment and management of diabetes conditions requires reliable data of glucose levels that does not fluctuate. In such needy cases, amperometric glucose sensors assist in monitoring of patients blood glucose. Monitoring of blood glucose levels presents a constant glycaemic regime that both the patient and health professional can rely on. Subsequently, health professionals can make imperative diagnosis and treatment of diabetic conditions.
Research on management of diabetic conditions largely relies on proper data for the levels of blood glucose amongst diabetes patients during normal activities. In ensuring use of reliable and constant blood glucose levels, there is need to develop clinical devices that can monitor and provide day and night blood glucose levels. Such requirements indicate the need for amperometric glucose sensors to provide constant data of blood glucose levels. Therefore, the presence of amperometric glucose sensors within the health sector is authoritative in effective management, treatment, diagnosis, and research about diabetes. It is imperative to note that the introduction of amperometric glucose sensors have greatly enhanced research and management of type 1 diabetes within the health sector. Moreover, it has increased confidence of both patients and health professionals towards a possibility of overcoming the deleterious disease.
Essentially, the ability of amperometric glucose sensors to determine accurately the level of concentration of blood glucose has caused a revolution in health care. Accurate determination of glucose levels within the blood has lead to improved health services within the community. The foremost

Olfaction refers to “the sense of smell and known as the perception of odorant” (Sarafoleanu et al., pp. 196-98, 2009). It is a scientific term used to express the sensory modalities present in the phylogenetic history of mammals. It acts as a chemical sensor, which involves the detection and perception of chemicals floating in the air that influence the social and sexual behavior.
Force Sensors for Joint Movements Force sensors are incorporated within the exo-skeleton design to measure forces acting at a specific point. In response to measured force a feedback signal is provided to the actuation system to exert equivalent force to interact with the input torque.

- Color Me Grey: Book One of the Alexis Stanton Chronicles
on Oct. 07, 2010
Move over James Bond, there's a new secret agent hitting the scene. Petite and polished Alexis Stanton hardly seems the type, but raised in a family that gave etiquette equal time with special ops training, she proves she's not one to be underestimated.
After quitting her dullsville job doing data entry, Alex responds to a mysterious newspaper job advertisement and realizes right away that her special training is exactly what White and Associates are looking for. Employed by the mysterious and attractive Mr. White, Alex is given the new moniker Ms. Grey and instantly thrust into secret missions with her life on the line. She may be in over her head, but she's not about to show it because she's also having the time of her life.
Color Me Grey was a fun and exciting book. J.C. Phelps keeps the action and suspense high and manages to hint at romance just enough to make the characters exceptionally intriguing. I loved Alexis Stanton as the heroine - she's tough but also smart and sensitive; larger than life but still easy to relate to. The book was well written with a perfect pace, and as all my favorite series entries do, it tells a succinct story while still keeping readers eager for its sequels. There's nothing Grey about whether or not Phelps knows how to write - clear as black and white, she is a wonderful storyteller and an awesome author to check out!
- Shades of Grey: Book Two of the Alexis Stanton Chronicles
on Jan. 25, 2011
In Shades of Grey, book two of the Alexis Stanton Chronicles, J.C. Phelps creates an ideal sequel. The story continues where Color Me Grey left off and carries the continuing story arc of Alex Stanton - also known as Ms. Grey - and her work as an agent with White and Associates. Though the books are connected, each one tells a succinct and contained story so they can be enjoyed individually as episodic adventures. Of course, once the reader has a taste of Alex Stanton's life, one book is definitely not enough!
Once again it is the endearing characters that fill this novel with heart. Alex is kind and caring, but also sassy and strong - keeping pace with her male colleagues. The relationships in the book are realistic and believable and the story delves deeper into Alex's family and her growing friendships with her coworkers. The romantic tension between Alex and Mr. White continues to build, and Alex is all the more likable for her character's wisdom and integrity. She doesn't simply fall into bed with the men she's attracted to but thinks honestly about her relationships and the results of romantic attachments.
Phelps keeps the action high and layers on the intrigue throughout the book. It's a delight to witness Alex develop her skills, holding her own as the heroine, as tough and talented as her male counterparts. For those that loved Color Me Grey, Shades of Grey is a wonderful continuation. The third book in the series Reflections of Grey also promises more of the same, and I can't wait to read it!
