A man unknowingly kills his father and marries his mother, fulfilling a prophecy made years before. When he discovers what he has done, he gouges his eyes out with his mother/wife’s hairpins. A young woman defies the law and risks her life to give her brother’s body a proper burial. The general of an allied army agrees that his eldest daughter should be put to death so that he can lead the army in a war to defend his brother’s honour. A woman, abandoned by her husband, wreaks her revenge by murdering their children.
These are just a few of the more memorable stories from ancient Greek poetry and drama. Written 2500 years ago, they still capture our imagination. Students known to doze in class are suddenly awake and engaged. These Greek stories have amazing power.
Their power is not merely the power of lurid plots, as the brief descriptions given above might suggest. The Greek stories are often lurid, it’s true, depicting unspeakable acts of seemingly primitive ferocity. Some readers—Sigmund Freud, for one—believe that they enthrall us because they conjure our deepest wishes and fears. “Moderation in everything”, said the Greek philosophers, “nothing overmuch.” Reading their stories and their history, one can’t help feeling that they extolled moderation because they could never achieve it themselves.
But the power of ancient Greek literature is not merely sensationalist. As Aristotle pointed out, our experience of these stories as stories—not actual events—gives us the emotional distance we need to reflect on them, and learn from them. (Aristotle also asserted that learning is the highest—not the greatest—pleasure known to humans, which helps explain why we enjoy these sometimes horrific tales.) We are appalled when Orestes murders his mother to avenger his father’s death, yes; but we are also made to think, and that thinking can lead to the most profound reflections concerning law, society, duty, taboos, the relationships between children and parents, and on and on.
Moreover, the culture of ancient Greece, along with that of the ancient Hebrews, lies at the root level of Western civilization. We cannot really understand European culture without knowing the Greeks; we cannot know ourselves without knowing the Greeks; we cannot, in the end, claim to be educated without knowing the Greeks.
Unfortunately, the Greeks have largely disappeared from school curricula. In secondary schools, younger students have a few sanitized Greek myths thrown at them, usually along with a potpourri of Norse, African, Asian, and Amerindian myths, legends, and folktales. Older students rarely return to the Greeks, and if they do, the visit is brief: an excerpt from The Odyssey, perhaps. “Advanced” students may read Oedipus Rex or Antigone. For most, nothing at all. In universities, very few students read any ancient Greek literature.
Why is this a problem? A while back, I saw a television interview with Bill Joy, who was at that time “chief scientist” for Sun Microsystems. He had written a magazine article discussing the ethical problems raised by the prospect of having in the near future a million times the computing power of a typical contemporary computer, on every desktop. His article provoked a small storm of debate about how or whether we should try to control such awesome power, and in the course of that debate someone referred to the ancient Greeks. Mr. Joy was prompted to go back to the Greeks, to see what they had to say. His conclusion? “The Greeks”, he said, “understood all of the issues raised in my article”.
Writing about what he thought was a new problem soon to be caused by an astronomical increase in computing power, Bill Joy discovered that the essential issues involved had already been explored, 2500 years ago. Bertrand Russell, who remarked that all of Western philosophy consists of footnotes to Plato, would not have been surprised. It’s a tribute to Mr. Joy that he had the insight to raise these questions. I can’t help wondering, however, how much sooner he would have achieved his insights, and how many others would have foreseen the same problems, had a thorough exposure to Greek literature and philosophy been a part of everyone’s general education.
Greek philosophy, by the way, is not as scary as it might sound. Like Greek literature, it combines a surprising simplicity with amazing depth. The Greeks, in the infancy of Western thought, produced literature and philosophy that can be read and enjoyed by children, and re-read over a lifetime with increasing understanding and appreciation. Soon after his election as President of the United States in 1932, Franklin Roosevelt paid a visit to Oliver Wendell Holmes, the Supreme Court justice. Noticing a book on the table, FDR asked Holmes, who was then in his nineties, why he was reading Plato. “To improve my mind”, he said.
Plato wrote philosophy as literature. His dialogues feature a wonderful protagonist, Socrates, who delights his young friends and infuriates his opponents by asking seemingly simple questions they cannot answer, all the while professing to know nothing himself. The best introductions for secondary school students are the “Apology”, which recounts the trial and conviction of Socrates, and the “Crito”, in which Socrates refuses the opportunity to escape death by fleeing. Both will provoke vigourous discussions. My other favourite is the “Meno”, in which Socrates famously claims to to demonstrate his theory of learning by helping an unschooled slave-boy to learn geometry. The “Allegory of the Cave”, which forms just a small part of the very long dialogue named “The Republic”, is also a must-read. As is common in literature, the surface often deceives in Plato’s dialogues. It is not at all certain, for example, that Plato’s description of the ideal state in “The Republic” is really intended to be a blueprint for political reform. In the “Meno”, similarly, Socrates may not really believe that the demonstration with the slave-boy proves anything; he may simply want to convince Meno not to give up searching for the truth.
If your school is lucky enough to include philosophy in the curriculum, Plato will provide enough material for all the lessons the school could possibly offer. If not, I would argue strenuously for adding Plato to the reading lists for English. A dialogue, after all, is literature, and few alternative works will provide as much stimulation. English teachers who are used to finding ambiguity and layers of meaning in works of fiction will have no trouble finding them in Plato.
As for Greek literature per se, The Odyssey is first on my list. It can be read profitably, in different ways, by students at any grade level. The great myths–the Oedipus cycle, the story of the Trojan War, the Agamemnon/Orestes saga–should be taught in the middle years so that students can later read Sophocles, Aeschylus, and Euripides with the benefit of their earlier experience. Once their interest has been piqued, students can explore the lesser myths on their own and in groups, and then share their discoveries with their classmates in speeches, presentations, and written work. In Grades 10-12, students should read the full versions of The Odyssey, Oedipus Rex, Antigone, Agamemnon, and as many other plays as possible. Remember: if your students don’t read these great works in high school, it is almost certain that they will never read them at all.
For a teacher who has never studied Greek literature or philosophy, getting started teaching it can be intimidating. My advice is to start small, and go slow. Begin with a re-telling of The Odyssey, or a selection of myths, or a re-telling of the trial and death of Socrates. The response of your students will convince you that you’re on the right track.

Telecommunications and technology companies, along with financial institutions, have been locked in a battle to establish dominance in the budding mobile commerce industry. The industry relies heavily on NFC technology, which allows consumers to make purchase from their mobile devices. Consumers have responded well, thus far, to the prospect of their mobile devices becoming a payment platform, but there is a problem keeping mobile commerce from mass adoption. The problem is that NFC technology is available only to a precious few smart phones – those equipped with microchips that allow them to interact with NFC terminals.
Sequent Software, an NFC technology developer, has found a way to solve this problem by enabling all mobile devices, smart or otherwise, to make mobile payments. The company has developed a technology it calls Core Card Services (CCS). CCS allows any mobile application to integrate NFC technology, allowing consumers to make purchases even if they do not own a smart phone.
Sequent believes that its technology will help consumers adopt mobile commerce more quickly, which is good news for the companies that are investing heavily in the industry as more people will be looking for mobile wallets. Users of Sequent’s technology will also not have to worry about their personal and financial information being stolen from the company as Sequent will not store or handle this information in any way.
- Everyone is talking about new mobile wallet technology
- How Apple may give NFC the boost it needs in 2012
- Why Google Wallet may find Subway is a key to its success
- Nokia launches new promotional campaign in the UAE to raise awareness of NFC technology
- NFC companies race to make the lowest power transceiver

Congratulations are in order for Rihanna. The Bajan beauty and singer has finally scored her first number one album with her seventh studio album, ‘Unapologetic’. Not only did the album debut atop the UK charts it also topped the US Billboard 200 charts. The final numbers are in! ‘Unapologetic’ has sold 238,949 in its first week. The album is also the singer’s highest selling debut of her career.
Although her nearly disastrous ‘777’ tour that left journalists disappointed, it was a driving promotional vehicle. The album’s controversial title and collaboration with ex Chris Brown didn’t hurt either.
That Rihanna reign certainly ain’t letting up.
Taylor Swift’s ‘Red’ album is still going strong in it’s second week. She has sold an addition 180, 547 which lands her at #2.
American Idol winner Phillip Phillips also debuted high on the charts with ‘World From The Side of the Moon’ selling 172,192 takin gthe #3 spot.
Rounding out the top five includes One Direction, Kid Rock and Pink. Unfortunately our girl Keyshia Cole only sold nearly 97,000 copies (96,695 to be exact) of her fifth studio album, Woman To Woman, placing her at #10.
Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Pink Friday Roman Reloaded: The Re-up’ was a major disappointment. The album’s re-release only charted at #28, selling 34,501 copies. But Nicki has a few thoughts on the matter. During a recent interview the rapstress believes Target, her biggest retailer, along with Walmart‘s decision to not sell the album caused the disappointing low sales. She also says Best Buy only ordered a limited amount copies and wasn’t totally invested in the idea of selling it to begin with.

Message: "The Rafts on the River"
Scriptures: Psalm 72:1-7, Isaiah 60:1-5a, Luke 24: 13-16, 28-35
What if "epiphanies" are not rare, but regular outpourings of the Loving Creative Power for Good (many call God)?
Warren describes a simple way he stays open to In-sight. Then he tells two stories about epiphany experiences that shape his current actions for service and justice. A "Challenge Card" to take-home describes a spiritual practice that can keep us open to In-sights, and positively engaged for a fair and compassionate world.

Recently there was a lot of news that the Democrats had closed the gap on the generic ballot for the midterms and that Joe Biden was getting momentum.
We aren’t kidding the screenshot below is from NPR:
Yup, “winning” before the midterms is hiring 87,000 IRS agents during one of the worst economies in the history of the nation. “Winning” is also passing a bill called the “inflation reduction act” that doesn’t reduce inflation.
ABC’S JONATHAN KARL: “Isn’t it almost Orwellian? How can you call it the Inflation Reduction Act when the nonpartisan experts say it’s not gonna bring inflation down?”
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: “I appreciate the question.” pic.twitter.com/tmtFTdsgXx
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) August 14, 2022
Fortunately, Democrats aren’t “winning” as a matter of fact, new polling data in Georgia show they are about to lose significantly.
Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams is about to lose in a landslide, and radical incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock isn’t doing much better.
Currently, Abrams is trailing Governor Brian Kemp by eight points, and she cannot close that gap. Additionally, Warnock is trailing Republican candidate for Senate Herschel Walker and continues to slide in the polls. Over the past few months, his polling has slid from 50% to 43.6%.
From the Phillips Academy:
Warnock is leading by 64% among Black voters even though both Warnock and Walker are African American. Warnock also has strong support among low-income and urban voters, where he leads by 23% and 16% respectively. Conversely, Walker receives most of his support from rural voters, where he is up by 20%. Georgia’s suburban voters, a key voting block in the 2020 election, favor Walker by 5.1%.
The suburbs flipped the Georgia Senate race, but now that they are disillusioned with the Democrat party and are swinging right.
In 2020, many of Georgia’s rural voters stayed home during the Senate race furious over how the state handled the presidential election. However, data shows they are back and combined with suburban voters Walker may have at least a five-point advantage.
Additionally, there is one other thing that is missing in these polls.
All of them were done before former President Donald Trump’s residence was raided, just wait until those polls come out.

Given my love of all things horror/Halloween, it should come as absolutely no surprise that I’m a big fan of The Walking Dead. I’ve been watching the show on AMC since day one, and have read the entire comic book series on which the show is based. When I heard that Stern was going to release a pinball machine based on the TV series, with John Borg designing it and Lyman Sheets handling the code, adding this one to my collection was the proverbial “no brainer.” The only downside was that in order to come up with the funds, I had to give some of my games the Lucille treatment. Eenie… meenie… miney… mo.
As soon as I got it out of the box, I immediately started customizing it with mods. I changed out the stock, cool white LEDs with warm whites and various colors, in order to give it a more ominous feel. I also added Stern’s fish tank topper, an electroluminescent “electric” fence, inner art decals, a prison light mod, and a Woodbury light mod from Pinball Refinery, a Woodbury sign and an in-game fish tank mod from Laseriffic, a zombie shooter from Pinball Customs, light-up Rick and zombie speaker grills from pinballlightkits.com, a prison door roof and a flashing tower mod from MezelMods, boney flippers with red superbands from Pinball Life, a Red Tremor shaker motor from CoinTaker, and weathered railroad tracks from billsfanmd.
I also installed a translite from a Premium model (you can see the original, Pro model version in some of the older pics below), which I’ve since had signed my many of the actors from the show, and an LCD Color DMD.
In September of 2017, I met Steven Yeun (Glenn, from the TV show) at Son of Monsterpalooza, and he signed my bloodied up Lucille bat, which now hangs above the machine (some of the other pics in here have my old, crappy, foam bat in them):
One common complaint of this game is that it doesn’t feature any voice work from the actors on the TV show. Fortunately, some very talented and dedicated guys on Pinside rectified that by using Pinball Browser to add tons of soundbites from the show, as well as change up some of the music. In my opinion, this has completely changed the game, making it one of the most immersive and intense pins out there. There are several different versions, and you can read all about them here. If you have young ones, be warned: most of the versions contain profanity (the version I’m running even features f-bombs from the Blu-ray releases). In addition to featuring the actual actors’ voices, my machine is running a version that has replaced the mode music with various songs by Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead.
Another thing that dogged The Walking Dead early on was incomplete code, but thankfully, not only has it been finished, but Lyman Sheets has perfected and polished it to the point that it is now one of Stern’s deepest and most complete games.
This is hands-down one of my favorite games in my collection.

Cock an ear in the direction of Birmingham’s restaurants today and you may hear the gentle clatter of pots and pans being hurled at kitchen walls.
Harden’s dining guide has put a spanner in the works of the city’s runaway culinary express by suggesting that Brum, after all, isn’t that great a place to eat. In fact, it’s pretty dire.
Words, unlike bolognaise steak, have not been minced. Richard and Peter Harden, the brothers behind the annual foodie publication, have damned Britain’s regional capital of cuisine with the faintest of praise.
Michelin this year awarded Birmingham the highest concentration of starred restaurants (three) outside the capital, but the Brothers Harden must think the compilers of the French gourmet bible have been quaffing excess eau de vie.
For according to the 2010 edition of this moderately respected guide, Birmingham’s dining scene is “bizarre” – bizarre in that it has, in Harden’s opinion, five good restaurants and nothing else.
The Michelin trio of Simpsons, Purnell’s and Turners are singled out for praise, together with Edmunds and Pascals.
All the other restaurants are – and there’s no way of cushioning the blow – “almost entirely without interest.” Smelling salts for chef, please.
As is the way with these things, Harden’s is entirely wrong, but also a little bit right.
I eat out in the city most weeks and rattle out restaurant reviews for this newspaper. I wouldn’t disagree with Harden’s list of the Big Five, but mine would be slightly bigger, maybe a Big Eight, and would definitely include Opus in Cornwall Street.
In any city there is always a gulf between the big hitters and the next rung, but there really is a dearth of solidly good middle-market restaurants in Birmingham. The time is ripe for some young guns to break on to the scene. What we don’t need is any more fine dining. We already do that rather well.
What we do need is more easy-going, homely cooking, pulled off with style, panache and honesty. At the moment, there’s not a lot of that about.
So although we may hate Harden’s today, there may be method in its self-aggrandising madness. These days, Brum’s big enough to take it on the chin.


A major milestone has been passed in the production and delivery of the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter as Boeing recently handed over the 2,500th example.
On September 30, 1983, the first production AH-64A Apache rolled off the assembly line and was delivered to the US Army by McDonnell Douglas – which is now a Boeing heritage company – in January 1984.
The platform is still being manufactured today and the 2,500th aircraft – an AH-64E Apache Guardian – was delivered to the US Army from Boeing’s production line in Mesa, Arizona.
Kathleen Jolivette, vice president of Attack Helicopter programmes and senior site executive at Boeing’s Mesa facility, said: “The Apache has built an impressive legacy of success, and is well-positioned to bring relevant technologies and capabilities that [defence] forces require today and in the future.
“Company teammates and suppliers worldwide are focused on assembling, delivering and supporting US and global customers, working to deter aggression and defend freedom. Apache is ready to have a key role in the future of multi-domain operations,” Jolivette added.
The latest model of the Apache family, the AH-64E, employs modern integrated technologies – including communications and navigation systems – that enhance situational awareness and coordination. Boeing adds that the platform features “a new, faster multi-core mission processor for advanced systems integration; and [a] maritime capability in the Fire Control Radar for watercraft detection and identification, along with a shorter engagement timeline.”
It incorporates an improved drive system with split-torque face gear transmission and is powered by two GE Aviation T700-701D turboshaft engines and composite main rotor blades, giving the aircraft a maximum cruising speed of 176mph (284km/h). In terms of munitions, the AH-64E can be equipped with AGM-114 Hellfire laser-guided air-to-surface missiles, 70mm rockets and has a 30mm automatic cannon under the forward fuselage.
AirForces Intelligence data shows that Apaches across a number of variants are currently in operational military service with 16 nations. This extensive list comprises Egypt, Greece, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, the Netherlands, Qatar, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Singapore, the UAE, the UK and the US. The type has also been ordered by Morocco and is in competition with the Bell AH-1Z Viper for selection by the Philippines. It has also been reportedly selected by Bangladesh to fulfil its attack helicopter requirements, but an official acquisition request has yet to be placed.

Echappe School of Dance, a local studio that teaches a wide variety of genres, is taking enrollment for the upcoming 2017–18 season.
Tap shoes clap against the floor, tutus twirl, and ballet shoes point into the air. At Echappe School of Dance, students are exposed to a variety of dancing genres.
Located at 3300 Knorr St. in Mayfair, the school is preparing to enter its fourth season beginning Sept. 6. Megan Kusznir, the owner and director of the school, said she couldn’t be prouder of how the school is progressing.
“This has always been a dream of mine,” she said. “The kids that have come into my life are the best part.”
The school is still pretty small; about 10 students have been around for the previous seasons.
Kusznir teaches “combination classes,” meaning that each two-hour lesson consists of learning two genres for the price of one. Kusznir said she didn’t want to limit her students, both in terms of what genre they’re learning, and also financial limitations.
“The studio is designed to cater to lower-income families, because everybody deserves the chance to dance,” she said. By doing combination classes, students are receiving the equivalent of two lessons for the price of one.
Students will dip their toes in a wide variety of genres, including classical ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, lyrical and modern. Beginners will be exposed to all genres, and as they progress through the ranks, they will get more of a say on what genre they specialize in.
Beginner, intermediate, advanced and professional level classes are offered.
Students are given several chances to dance throughout the year, including participating in the Mayfair Holmesburg Thanksgiving Parade. They’ll participate in small local events, like dancing at birthday bashes and performing a showcase for senior citizens around Mother’s Day.
The season culminates with a showcase where everyone is given the opportunity to try out for solo, duet and trio numbers.
During last year’s showcase, Kusznir and her students performed a piece with a schoolyard theme where Kusznir played a mean teacher. The piece concluded with the girls lifting their mean teacher and carrying her away.
“Every year before the showcase, it just hits me how far we’ve come and how much we’ve accomplished,” she said. “On the first year, the day of dress rehearsal and the recital, I couldn’t stop crying, but in a good way.”
She said that crying before each showcase has become a habit, but one she is grateful to have a reason for.
Kusznir decided to open her own dance studio in the summer of 2013 when she realized she was “underappreciated” as a teacher. She had the studio built from scratch and pursued her dream.
“I haven’t looked back since,” she said.
Kusznir has lived her entire life in Mayfair, so for her picking a location was a no-brainer.
“I’m a local girl, and I know there are a lot of studios in Mayfair, but not a lot of studios like mine, and that’s why I did it,” she said. ••
Visit the school’s Facebook page or its website, tankers96.wixsite.com/echappeschoolofdance, to learn more. Kusznir encourages all interested parents and students to come down to the studio for one free trial class.

Can’t even break an album leak BeyoncéThe soul of
Moments after releasing his highly anticipated album, Renaissance, Queen Bey herself shared a personal note with fans, thanking them for waiting until July 29 to listen. (ICYMI, Renaissance was leaked online three days before the release date).

Beyonce Through the Years
Ahead of its release, the Grammy winner also shared another glimpse into the process of creating the first act of the three-part project. She also gave a shout out to some of her biggest inspirations in which she and Jay Zchildren of: Blue10, roomis5, and Mr5.
“This three-act project was recorded over three years during the pandemic,” she wrote on her website on July 28 alongside a rare photo of her family. “There’s still a time to be, but there’s also a time when I found myself most creative. Making this album gave me a place to dream and escape to the world during a scary time.”
In a message shared on his website, the 40-year-old also described the album as a “beautiful journey of exploration”.
“I want to give a special thanks to Rumi, Sir and Blue for giving me the space, creativity and inspiration,” she said. “And a special thanks to my husband and muse, who put me down during those late nights in the studio.”
Time to sound the alarm.

Just this past week, California governor Gavin Newsom requested that Californians across the golden state reduce water usage by 15%.
The request extends to not just residents, but to agriculture farms and food producers as well. According to the state’s officials, meeting the outlined target could save enough water to supply 1.7 million households for one year. While the requests are nothing new to Californians, who have experienced droughts intermittently over the past 5-10 years, Newsom stressed that they are nothing more than requests, and urged state citizens to make ‘common sense’ decisions by washing full loads of dishes and laundry.
Do you trust the main stream media?
"*" indicates required fields
“Not here as a nanny state. And we’re not trying to be oppressive,” he said. “But nonetheless, the sober reality is such that here we are again, and we will need to proceed with the lessons learned from the last drought”, the California governor said while in San Luis Obispo.
According to Rachel Becker with CalMatters, “Newsom also expanded drought emergency declarations to nine more counties, including three parched Bay Area counties and several along the Central Coast. Fifty counties, home to 42% of the state’s population, are now under drought emergencies.”

EXPOSITION NUMBER. NUMBER 48. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. JULY, 1893. Behold in this calm face The modern Sphinx, with such a thoughtful mien As bids us pause, when like a Frankenstein A nation dares create another race. No longer here the crude And unformed features of a savage face ; But in those pleading eyes a kindred race Asks for the highway out of servitude. Like as the Amazon With mighty currents marks the ocean's hue Until her leagues of tide blend with the blue, So do these patient millions still press on. Such at the cradle-side Have crooned as foster-mothers, sung and wept, Across the chamber doors of pain have slept, And for their sisters pale have gladly died. Two hundred weary years Of burden-bearing in a shadowed path, And yet no hand is raised in cruel wrath, And all their wrongs evoke as yet but tears. Study the problem well, For in this Sphinx a message somewhere lies; A nation's glory or its shame may rise From out the reading what these features tell. A. T. Worden, in Judge. THE SENIOR NORMAL CLASS IN ATLANTA UNIVERSITY.—A winter scene. ]

The Afro-German songstress started her budding career doing backup and support vocals for soul and reggae bands such as Cultural Roots and Family Affair. Her big break occurred when she was called into the city of Stuttgart to lay down vocals for established electronica and hip-hop producers DJ Thomilla and Tiefschwarz on the international dance hit "Music" in 1999. The lead member of German rap group Freundeskreis, Max Herre, also happened to be looking for a female vocalist in order to accompany him on the song "Mit Dir" ("With You"), which became a Top Five hit on the German charts the same year. Her relationship with Herre (whom she wound up marrying) enabled her to sign with the Sony subsidiary Four Music Records.
Mostly in German, Mamani debuted Denalane's singing talents in May 2002. Produced by Herre, the album blended traditional R&B with jazz, Afrobeat, and South African folk music; moreover, it notably contained horn arrangements and live flügelhorn by the illustrious South African jazz musician Hugh Masekela. Mamani, which debuted at number eight on the German charts, helped put definition to "German soul" within the world music arena. Afterward, she began receiving exposure in the U.S. from her guest vocals on the remix of the single "Go!" by American rapper Common. The song grabbed the attention of prolific arrangers and neo-soul mainstays like James Poyser, Jeff Bradshaw, Larry Gold, and a host of others who all contributed to Denalane's 2006 album Born & Raised. Recorded in Philadelphia and with all its songs in English, the LP was much more accessible for non-German speakers as well as hip-hop heads, boasting appearances from MCs Lupe Fiasco and Raekwon. It debuted at number two on the German album chart and broke into Billboard's European Top 100 album chart.
In 2008, Denalane teamed up with Bilal, Tweet, Dwele, and the MDR Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jun Märkl for the Dresden Soul Symphony, a one-off live project which saw them string together famous soul hits into a fully orchestrated classical work in four movements. The performance was broadcast on German radio and released as a live album. Afterward, Denalane returned to solo performance, and to her mother tongue; her next album, 2011's Maureen (her middle name), was completely in German, although she did release an English version for the international market. ~ Cyril Cordor, Rovi

The Great Recession ended nearly three years ago, yet Americans are continuing to avoid moving to the once fast-growing locations at the outer edges of metropolitan areas, the US Census Bureau says.
"Population growth in fringe counties nearly screeched to a halt in the years that ended July 1, 2011," USA Today reports. "By comparison, counties at the core of metro areas are growing faster than the nation as a whole.
"There's a pall being cast on the outer edges," John McIlwain, senior fellow for housing at the Urban Land Institute, told the newspaper. "The foreclosures, the vacancies, the uncompleted roads. It's uncomfortable out there. The glitz is off."
"The country’s outer suburbs, often referred to as the exurbs by demographers, were at the forefront of the country’s population growth for most of the last decade," The New York Times observes. The (less than robust) economic recovery has has not revived population growth in those areas.
According to an analysis by William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, population in the country’s outer suburbs grew at just 0.4 percent in the year ended last July, down from 1 percent in the previous year and a peak in 2006 of more than 2 percent.
The Times says that of the 100 fastest-growing outer suburban counties, all but two grew more slowly in 2010 and 2011 than in 2006 and 2007. "This could be the end of the exurb as a place where people aspire to go when they're starting their families," USA Today quoted Frey as saying. "So many people have been burned by this. … First-time home buyers, immigrants and minorities took a real big hit."
The new Census figures are consistent with forecasts by analysts such as Arthur C. Nelson that have been reported on previously by Better! Cities & Towns.
“Our organization has long advocated for walkable neighborhoods with smart growth features, and this news confirms that they’re even more popular than we realized,” said Geoff Anderson, president and CEO of Smart Growth America. “But it’s not enough for us to look at this data and do nothing about it–we have to take advantage of its momentum. If the U.S. is going to get back on track and continue to compete globally, we must change how the country invests in and legislates around real estate and transportation.”
The USA Today article includes a revealing set of Census maps contrasting population growth by county in 2006 and 2011.

Keizer officials contacted just 19 shelterless people during its portion of the annual point-in-time count.
Officers from the Keizer Police Department (KPD) Community Response Unit (CRU) and Code Officer Ben Crosby hit the streets alongside hundreds of other volunteers to conduct the count on Jan. 27.
“Of the seven people contacted this year, our officers know at least four of them by name and frequently have conversations with them. It is noteworthy to mention it is not by luck that Keizer does not have our own ‘tent city.’ CRU and Crosby routinely check for homeless camps. When a camp is located, services are offered, and then they are encouraged to move along” said a Keizer police official in a weekly update sent out by the city on Jan. 29. “We have found most homeless people wish to be left alone, so frequent contacts seem to get voluntary compliance in moving out of Keizer.”
More than 90% of those contacted turn down assistive services according to KPD.

As we enter the final stretch of summer, many of us think of enjoying a few days at the beach, spending time with family and friends on vacation, or soaking up some sun on an outdoor patio with a drink in hand. Understandably, I doubt many of you are thinking of revenue recovery. But now is the perfect time to do so!
Many in-house counsel and their business unit clients are starting to put together their 2018 budgets for their departments. Imagine if you could offer to the GC or a member of your C-suite some ideas on where extra revenue might be found for next year’s budget.
If you already have a revenue recovery program up and running, then you are ready to start identifying the areas that might be most likely to generate that revenue. And if you don’t have a program already — what are you waiting for?! — then this might be the extra incentive you need to get one started, in addition to all of the reasons set forth in my prior blog posts. You can show your colleagues the revenue opportunities that await if a program is started.
As a jumping off point, consider these ideas of potential sources of revenue recovery that you may want to pursue:
- IP licensing and infringements;
- Royalty payments;
- Insurance claims and subrogation;
- Class action settlement notices (filing claims for your company; given the volume of products or services some companies use, these could be quite substantial; at a minimum, someone should be reviewing these notices to decide if a claim is worthwhile);
- Operational disruption claims (e.g., utility interruptions; faulty equipment; deficient or damaged inputs in supply chains);
- Contracts (ensuring vendors, customers and suppliers are following terms and committing to purchases or sales at agreed upon volumes and rates); and
- M&A agreements and asset purchases (checking to see if all those negotiated reps and warranties are being followed).
Not all of these will be applicable to every business, and other areas not listed here may be much better options for your company to pursue. The point is to think of those areas in your business either where significant revenue is generated or significant expenditures are made. From there, you can examine each area to see if there may be some low-hanging fruit for recoveries now or if you can start a process to routinely check for revenue recovery opportunities in those areas, especially if there are recurring instances where revenue may be captured.
Remember also to consult with key colleagues and other stakeholders whom you identified when establishing your program to obtain their input on the best sources of revenue.
The ultimate objective is to ensure that the revenue recovery sources you are pursuing align well with the goals you set for the program when it was established.

U.S. would probably shield Guam against any missiles
N. Korea is under surveillance, giving military response time
If North Korea followed through on its threat to fire ballistic missiles near Guam, the U.S. military probably would try to shoot them down, raising the stakes even further in a dangerous global standoff.
U.S. commanders would have little time to make a critical decision about whether any inbound missiles represented a threat to Guam, home to two large military bases and about 7,000 U.S. service members.
A ballistic missile would take only about 14 minutes to reach Guam from North Korea, according to Guam’s Homeland Security office.
North Korea is under U.S. surveillance, including spy satellites, which would give U.S. authorities advance warning before a missile launch.
The Pentagon would probably view any missiles heading near Guam as a threat and try to shoot them down, analysts said.
“We would have to take proper self-defense measures,” said David Maxwell, a retired Army colonel and associate director of Georgetown University’s Center for Security Studies. “We would not want to take a chance to allow it to hit.”
U.S. commanders would not want to take a chance on whether the missile carried a warhead or was accurate enough to land in the water as intended.
North Korea said Thursday it was developing plans to launch four medium-range ballistic missiles that would land 19 to 25 miles from the western Pacific island. The warning came amid heightened tensions between the countries over North Ko- rea’s nuclear weapons program.
President Trump said Tuesday the United States would respond to threats from North Korea with “fire and fury like the world has never seen.”
The U.S. military regularly tracks North Korea’s missile launches but does not intercept them once it determines they are not on a course to hit U.S. territory or an ally, such as Japan or South Korea.
In 2013, the U.S. military deployed a missile-defense system called Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, to Guam in response to threats by North Korea.
The system is also being deployed in South Korea.
North Korea launches an intercontinental ballistic missile July 4. The regime has threatened to fire missiles near Guam, but experts say the Pentagon would try to shoot them down.

As Chair of SANDAG, San Diego County’s transportation agency, I’m excited to share that we’ve developed and released to the public the 2021 Regional Plan, which is the blueprint for transportation investments for the next 30 years. It’s a major, ambitious, game-changing plan – definitely not a product of the same old mindset.
The goal is transportation that is cleaner, greener and faster – plus it’s smarter because it’s based on data and usage patterns.
Some of the transportation and environmental challenges we face are shown above, all of which are addressed in the Regional Plan.
Key components include better and more frequent transit, especially to job centers like Sorrento Valley, a tunnel through the Del Mar area so the train can avoid the fragile and crumbling bluffs along the ocean, managing freeway congestion with express lane fees to make transit and ridesharing more attractive, and creating a central transit hub that connects everyone in the county with the airport.
Getting where you need to go to do the things that matter to you can take up too much time and cost too much money. I’m enthusiastic about this plan because it presents us with the chance to create a modern system that will work better, cost less and help save the planet. About half of our toxic emissions come from transportation, so getting serious about climate change means tackling our dependence on gas-burning cars.
If you’d like to read the plan, submit comments or attend an upcoming event please click here.
I was invited to be on KUSI news for a lively and occasionally contentious interview about the proposed transportation plan. You can watch it here.
A new airport Terminal 1 will emerge from the pandemic

Sticking with the topic of transportation, I also serve as a board member of the San Diego Airport Authority. This week we approved a nearly $300 million operating budget and we’re continuing to move forward with a $3 billion project to rebuild Terminal 1. In reality, this major capital project is largely financed by the airlines.
The Airport Authority issues the bonds and then the airlines as a group pay the debt service. Terminal 1 currently serves Southwest Airlines, which has the largest number of flights and passengers in San Diego, but Terminal 1 could also serve other airlines in the future.
This major project has an adopted EIR (Environmental Impact Report) and it’s now going through the federal environmental review process. The board will make a final decision later this year and shovels could be in the ground by the beginning of next year.
I want to note that the three rounds of federal funding the airport received allowed the airport to weather the difficulties of the last year. We put several capital projects on hold, went to essential spending only and didn’t have to lay off any employees.
It’s nice to feel like we’re on the other side of this now with pre-pandemic travel picking up. I’m happy to be a part of that resurgence – we’re making our first airline reservations in more than a year to visit my husband’s family and the kids’ grandparents in Knoxville, Tennessee this summer.
Here’s more information about the Terminal 1 rebuilding.
Let’s Vax for the Win!
Over much of the past year, the pandemic has seemed much like an out-of-control forest fire. Now that it’s dying down, there’s a temptation to let down our guard as we excitedly rush toward normalcy. But the possibility of flare-ups that can reignite the fire is real, so we must remain diligent.
As the intense demand for vaccinations has slowed, the president has set a national goal asking 70% of Americans to have received at least one dose by July 4. In California, that number is realistic. But according to the New York Times, even if 70% percent of adults are vaccinated, the virus and its more contagious variants can spread among those who are not.
So some very enticing and creative incentives to get vaccinated have emerged, and early results show that they’re working. On Friday, Governor Newsom hosted California’s first “Vax for the Win” game show-style event, as seen above – three San Diego County and two Orange County residents won $50,000 each.
A drawing for ten $1.5 million prizes will be held on June 15, the day most COVID restrictions are slated to be lifted. Those restrictions may even end a few days earlier, if next week’s numbers hold. And our current outdoor dining arrangements are extended through December 31, as cities decide if they want to make them permanent.
Orange County plans for affordable housing
For those following housing issues, Orange County cities are putting together their housing plans for the next eight years, just like we did in Encinitas. This article from the Capistrano Dispatch is interesting in comparing the different cities.
For example, in San Juan Capistrano they need to accommodate an additional 1,000 new homes, on top of their current 13,000 homes. The methodology assigning the number of homes is different in different counties. But the reality that every city needs to do more to tackle the affordability crisis is consistent.
Coastal Commission must approve Encinitas cannabis changes
In the last election, voters said yes to recreational marijuana in Encinitas. The city’s Planning Commission is recommending various changes to accommodate the ordinance’s requirements. Permits for businesses to sell or manufacture cannabis products can’t be accepted by the city until the ordinance is approved by the Coastal Commission.
The Pride of Encinitas
I’m tremendously proud to represent a city that publicly embraces inclusion, acceptance and celebration for people to love and self-identify in any way they want.
(Photos of the Encinitas City Council raising the Pride flag this week by Scott Chatfield.)
This week the entire City Council joined in a Pride Month ceremony to hoist the rainbow flag, which has been expanded to include a reference to trans-gender and racial diversity with both white-pink-blue and black-brown colors.
These new colors and references feel highly relevant to this moment in time. Encinitas was the first city in North County to fly the flag in 2019. The public and highly visible nature of this statement continues to be a deeply impactful gesture that stirs my heart.
We are truly a welcoming and embracing city!
Happy June to you,

What do you miss most about pre-pandemic life? The answer, for many young people, is partying. With the new six person rule having been implemented by the British government last month, the prospect of clubs opening their doors has become an even more distant prospect. Fines for attending or organising illegal raves range from £100-10,000, a serious threat which has acted as a deterrent to an industry which keeps many financially and spiritually afloat. Despite social distancing rules, illegal raves have continued throughout the pandemic, occurring all over England in London, Manchester, Blackburn, Huddersfield and more locations.
But the future of raving is still somewhat bleak.‘The London squat party scene is in critical condition. It’s on a life support machine’ says Sinead Gorey, a designer from South East London. Last season, Gorey debuted her A/W 20 fashion film Artefact, something she called ‘a nostalgic feast for the soul.’
This season Gorey has channelled a bygone era of the London rave scene, premiering her S/S 21 fashion film Higher exclusively on SHOWstudio, made in collaboration with director Duncan Lewis and with sound design by David Jones. In explanation of the film’s title, Gorey says, ‘We wanted to elevate the viewer to a higher place whilst watching this film, with an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia.’
With characters modelled on muses Gorey met on the London rave scene from 2011-2014, Higher is a sundown-to-sunrise clubbing escapade with a neon palette reminiscent of the films of Gaspar Noé. ‘Noé’s films are dark and hard to make sense of, so I wanted to create a film that was super trippy and bugs your head a little,’ says Gorey.
Gorey describes her clothes as wearable for ‘26 hours of non-stop, hardcore stomping.’ How does one design garments with durability and specifically ‘raveability’ in mind? ‘I approach it by looking at functionality. For example, using waterproof nylon and breathable taffeta for the undersleeve to allow the wearer to sweat freely,’ says Gorey.
Following popular demand, Gorey has introduced unisex looks for the first time this season, so boys and girls can rest assured they won’t overheat on the dancefloor. ‘Some of these looks ended up being super tom-boyish, so I cast some boys,’ says Gorey.
In the absence of the chance encounters that clubbing brings about, Higher is an ode to the unity of raving, a celebration of the spaces where people with diverse backgrounds and belief systems are brought together under one roof. Commenting on the lack of nightlife thanks to COVID-19, Gorey says, ‘It’s going to be not just economically detrimental for the venues, but for people who need that weekend escape. It's super important that young people have safe spaces where they can go, express themselves and mingle with likeminded people, and of course this isn't possible at the moment. Things are moving back into the underground illegal stratosphere which can't be blamed on anyone but the government.’

A first-year student of a private university in Punjab's Phagwara committed suicide, triggering a protest by fellow students on the campus, police said on Wednesday.
The student, who was from Kerala and was studying B.Design at Lovely Professional University (LPU), took the extreme step on Tuesday, they said.
Soon after, other students of the university held a protest on the campus. Policemen have been deployed outside the university campus.
Prima facie, the student was facing some personal issues, as was suggested by a suicide note left by him, a police official in Phagwara said.
Police said the student's parents have been informed and an investigation is underway.
A Kapurthala district administration official appealed to students not to believe any rumours.
LPU said it is saddened by the unfortunate incident.
"The initial investigation by the police, and the content of the suicide note point towards personal issues of the deceased. The university is providing full support to the authorities for further investigation.
"The University mourns the loss of the student and expresses its condolences to the bereaved family," LPU said in a statement posted on its Twitter handle.

One week from today is Election Day. This election cycle has been quite active. The media have had the opportunity to jump on one scandal after another. In addition to that, there are those in the media that have been promoting a personal agenda instead of simply reporting the news and events. To be fair, this bias has been on both the left and the right. I personally believe it's been more prevalent on the Left. But that is MY opinion.
Speaking of OPINIONS, it's now time to express your opinion by voting. This is a hot button issue for me. People complain all the time about their local, state and federal representatives, but when the opportunity arises to do anything about it they ignore the opportunity to effect change. Voting is a right. If you do not exercise this right, you could eventually lose it. Even though the United States is referred to as the "leader of the free world" at times, we fail miserably as a nation when it comes to voter turnout. Our form of Government is a Republic where we as citizens choose Representatives to act on our behalf. Yet, we don't seem to care. Percentage of registered voters actually voting, as compared to other nations:
|15.||Sierra Leone||81.4%|| |
|19.||Korea, South||80.6%|| |
|21.||Gambia, The||80%|| |
|34.||Dominican Republic||76.1%|| |
|41.||Sri Lanka||73.3%|| |
|46.||Sao Tome and Principe||70.6%|| |
|51.||Macedonia, The Former Yugoslav Republic of||69.6%|| |
|56.||United States||67.4%|| |
|66.||Costa Rica||60.2%|| |
|68.||Central African Republic||59.1%|| |
|69.||Cape Verde||58.9%|| |
|73.||Burkina Faso||56.1%|| |
|75.||Bosnia and Herzegovina||55.5%|| |
|85.||El Salvador||38.6%|| |
|86.||Cote d'Ivoire||37.4%|| |
Didn't find the US? Surely we're in the top 10? No. Top 25? Um...no. Top 50??? STILL...no.
Sadly, we're at #56 with a Registered Voter turnout of 67.4%. If you look at the voter turnout as a percentage of the total population, I would guess the picture is a WHOLE lot worse.
Drop the Excuses
I know many of you work or have otherwise hectic schedules. That's not an excuse. I am out of town for business on election day. So, I've already voted absentee. If I'm going to complain and post here, I have to have at least expressed my opinion when it counted.
BTW, if you comment on politics here, don't be surprised if my first question to you is "Did you vote?"
Now, GO VOTE kids!

They later recruited Garm (vocals) of Ulver and Samoth (guitar) of Emperor. Together they recorded the MCD "Constellation" on Nocturnal Art Productions, which was released in 1994. After the release Samoth had to leave the band because he got arrested (Church burnings). Two new members were brought into the band, Skoll (bass) of Ved Buens Ende and Carl August Tidemann (guitar) of Tritonus and Winds. In 1995 they recorded their debut album "Aspera Hiems Symfonia".
Carl August Tidemann left the band and was replaced by Knut M. Valle. With a new member they recorded their second full-length, "La Masquerade Infernale", and released it in 1997. A compilation cd followed in 1999, "Disguised Masters". Skoll left the band and was replaced by Dag F. Gravem. In 2002 they released "The Sham Mirrors". The album also featured Ihsahn of Emperor and Mathias Eick as additional musicians. In 2003 Garm left the band to focus on his record label and other projects. He was replaced by Øyvind Hægeland (Manitou, Lunaris, Spiral Architect).
In 2005 they released their last studio album "Sideshow Symphonies" and in 2006 the live DVD "Shipwrecked in Oslo".
On April 16, 2007, it was announced that the band would be breaking up, and more details were revealed in an official statement released on the band's website on April 17th, where the band confirmed the split.
In September of 2011, Artisan (a blog and project run by Jens F. Ryland and Asgeir Mickelson) announced the official return of the band.
In 2015, they released "Arcturian", Arcturus' first studio album in ten years.

Kristoffer kommer tilbake til The Scotsman!
Origianally from Sweden, Kristoffer, has more than 20 years experience as a full-time musician under his belt. From touring all over Europe and the US as a solo artist or as part of different bands. A normal year would often include 200 nights on a stage! After living in Oslo for 17 years he moved to Hamburg in 2018 where he now works as a producer and mix engineer in his own studio, ‘Memory Motel Studio’. A busy songwriter for himself and for others, there’s always some new songs to discover at a concert with Kristoffer. Other than the usual suspects one might hear songs from John Lennon, Gram Parsons, The Band and newer Americana like Ryan Adams. His solo shows are performed on guitar, vocal and stomp box. But could also be elaborate looping and ambient landscape sounds. No two shows are the same. But the takeaway of Kristoffer’s concerts is always his heartfelt voice wich he applies to every word of every song.
Live musikk på Karl Johans Gate, Oslo. Gratis inngang som alltid og han spiller fra kl. 22:30 til sent tirsdag til lørdag. Velkommen!

A report in the Observer-Reporter mentioned how one Washington County, Pennsylvania dentist, who allegedly prescribed more than 6,600 narcotic pain killers to seven patients, was recently arrested by state narcotics and Medicaid fraud agents.
Dr. Charles Kokoska, was charged by the state attorney general's office. According to the criminal complaint, between January 2009 and October 2010 Dr. Kokoska wrote more than 300 prescriptions for more than 6,600 narcotic pain killers to at least seven different patients.
The prescriptions were written for the powerful prescription pain killers Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, and Propoxyphene and filled at various pharmacies in Allegheny, Fayette, Greene and Washington counties. Kokoska also wrote prescriptions for Diazepam, a generic form of Xanax, commonly used to treat anxiety.
Dr. Kokoska is charged with seven counts of prohibited acts by medical professional and two counts of provider prohibited acts. He was arraigned before Brownsville Magisterial District Judge Joshua Kanalis and released on $25,000 unsecured bail.
