Gotcha covered
Mark Grabowski's review of the George Turner Trio's August 20 performance at Michael's Bistro [On the Prowl, "Better on CD," August 29, 2002] underscored several misgivings I have with music criticism today.
Most distressing is Grabowski's lack of musical and historical knowledge about jazz and other improvised musical idioms evidenced by his labeling of the Trio as a "cover band." This is not correct. A cover band seeks to slavishly imitate the core nuances of another, usually wildly popular, version of a song.
If Grabowski had taken the time to do any sort of cursory research on improvised music, he would have realized that there is a long tradition of players improvising on other people's music– especially in organ trios. This music can range from Tin Pan Alley standards to contemporary pop tunes and beyond. John Coltrane, for example, found the song "My Favorite Things" substantive enough to inspire hours of brilliant improvisation for years.
We do not skim lightly over hackneyed "Real Book" standards. On the contrary, George chooses our repertoire with care and respect. He diligently transcribes music from artists like Stevie Wonder and pianist Don Pullen for our performances because we feel this music is uncommon, inspiring and, most importantly, malleable enough to make it our own.
You'd be hard pressed to call our version of Wonder's "Big Brother" a "cover" given George's clever arrangement, not to mention the lack of vocals! When played with passion and intelligence, improvising on someone else's music transforms it into something richer and something completely original. While this doesn't happen all the time, I feel it is something we strive for in every performance on both our own compositions (which we played in abundance but Grabowski failed to comment on or even learn their titles) and on tunes by others.
Also, I must take issue with Grabowski's disparagement of George's guitar tone. To my ears, George's "clean" tone is one of the clearest and deepest around, and allows his lines to sing out without relying on any additional electronics. George's clean playing is his own voice steeped in the jazz guitar tradition and should be considered and critiqued from this perspective.
I hope that for future reviews Grabowski is more informed about the music he is reviewing, and that he listens deeply and earnestly to what is being played rather than focusing on superficial, uninformed notions of what it "should be."

I noticed a couple of threads about Korean language and I know that this will come up again so here's a sticky one. What I would like to see are links to online study especially online study as well as books and programs that you would recommend. In about one week I will rewrite it as one big post and make it permenant. go to town guys. http://korean.sogang.ac.kr/ Here is the best one, in my opinion. Back to top elmerJoined: 04 Feb 2003Location: cowtown Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2003 3:48 pm Post subject: http://korean.sogang.ac.kr/ Here is the best one, in my opinion. I'll second that. It is the only on-line program *that I have found* that goes past a beginner lever, and well past intermediate. If you are intermediate with Korean than this is a great place. If anyone comes along with a site for more advanced learners, I 'd love to hear. I'm assuming at some point a nice composite list will appear... For beginners there are tons of good sites that go over the same basic things, but each one is slightly different. Alot has been posted here over the ages, and I've checked out a ton. If you are really trying to learn, then visit as many of these sites as you can. The best thing about the online material, is that it usually employs the most commonly spoken forms, or levels of politeness, but you still learn all the forms. Most books don't, and they all use different English spellings. Everything gets easier once you learn to read Korean. Reading Korean has so many advantages. Even if you have no interest in learning any Korean whatsoever (other than Mekju ...). If you are serious about landing a good second year job here then it looks good on your resume if you "read and speak some Korean, and am interested in learning more about Korean culture....". I think that goes over pretty well at universities.

Bassani Motorcycle ExhaustsDarryl Bassani has built a career out of moving gas a few feet out of a tube. The way he does it, though, is inimitable. Bassani has been cranking out pipes since the Sixties, and over those years, he's learned a thing or two about how to make power. That's the defining feature of a Bassani exhaust product - the ability to make power. Everything else is secondary for them. They've built exhausts for everything under the sun - they're no strangers to two-strokes, automobile exhaust, diesels, antiques, and race vehicles. Your bike is unique - but trust, Daryl Bassani and his crew have seen it before and likely made big power from it.
The research that goes into Bassani systems is staggering, yet each pipe is still hand-built in the United States. Material selection is always top notch - welded steel construction, end-caps formed from billets of aluminum, and the most technologically-advanced collectors in the industry. Their attention to detail gives you many styling and construction options, and the modular nature of some of their systems allows you to create a system that is totally unique to your bike. Couple all this with the auditory onslaught they manage to coax from your bike, and you've got an exhaust recipe that can't be beat. Trust the decades of hard work a living motorcycle legend has done, and add a splash of shine and sound to your bike.

Forgotten and Forsaken
Forgotten and Forsaken
With the entry of its GeForce 7300 GT, NVIDIA attempts to bridge the differences between its low-end GeForce 7300 and the mid-range 7600 series. From a consumer's point of view, having more options is almost always preferred so such a move should be welcomed. To get a handle on its capabilities, know that the GeForce 7300 GT uses the same G73 core as the GeForce 7600 series, with a slight handicap of having four pixel pipelines disabled. NVIDIA has broadly painted the hardware specifications for the GeForce 7300 GT, leaving the implementation details to its manufacturing partners. This has thrown up some surprises, such as the limited edition Gainward Bliss 7300GT PCX , which takes advantage of some very extreme clock speeds to perform way above expectations. In fact, it is faster than the GeForce 7600 GS, the lesser pair of GeForce 7600 cards in the series.
Since it was launched together with the faster GeForce 7600 GT, the GeForce 7600 GS has been overshadowed by its more powerful compatriot. A quick glance at the market reveals more models and variations for the GeForce 7600 GT. Both vendors and consumers alike seem to have arrived independently at this preference for the faster product, aided by the initial price of US$199 for the GeForce 7600 GT, which probably hits the sweet spot for those looking for a mid-range graphics card. Many potential buyers of the GeForce 7600 GS probably felt more comfortable topping up their budget slightly for the GeForce 7600 GT instead.
However, not all vendors have given up on the GeForce 7600 GS yet. ASUS at least has made quite an effort to bring to market a rather unique version of this GPU. Its latest EN7600GS TOP Silent is overclocked (like so many other graphics cards now) and it also comes with its special Reverse Cool system with a passively cooled heatsink and up to 512MB of DDR2 memory. Intrigued? Well, we were very interested to know if this enhanced GeForce 7600 GS could stand up against the challenge of the best GeForce 7300 GT cards so we promptly put it to the test:

This happened all of a sudden. I could not start the 3g on my phone.
The Data Network mode is always deactivated now.
Although, when I go to Settings > Wireless and network settings > Mobile network settings, the Use packet data option is checked.
Unchecking this option and checking again doesn't work.
Installing the internet settings again from the service provider also didn't help.
Restarting the phone didn't help.
Restoring factory settings didn't help.
Any idea what's going wrong?

I urge you to read Details' profile of what they call "the Amazing Tale of the High School Quarterback Turned Lesbian Filmmaker" because it is amazing - although not just for the obvious reasons:
We are used to tales of transgender people who, trapped in the wrong youthful skin, are loners, even outcasts. Paul Reed was different: not just the high school QB, but a popular boy who was also his class's valedictorian. Reed's demons were kept well-hidden, to put it mildly - which is why the story of his returning to that Montana high school for a reunion as "Kimberly," as recorded in her documentary Prodigal Sons, is so noteworthy. As Reed tells Details, "I spent the first third of my life pretending not to be a girl, and the second third of my life pretending not to have been a boy."
This would be story enough to make for a riveting documentary, but Reed is attending the reunion with her estranged brother: Marc, wild and rebellious and later victim of a traumatic brain injury.
This, then, was the McKerrow constituency for the 20th high-school reunion in Helena: not just Kimberly Reed, the transgender filmmaker from New York City, but Marc McKerrow, the fun-loving partier, now replaced by Marc McKerrow, the forgetful, slightly impaired, and heavily medicated guy occasionally given to violence.
(And by the way, Marc, who was adopted, discovers in the course of the film that his birth mother was the daughter of Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth.)
It's a fascinating story, yes, of families and gender identity and acceptance, but it's also meaningful. Says Reed in Details, in the transgender community, "'it's bad form to talk about your childhood'-your gender dysphoria-'unless you have to.'" While some might debate that, Reed's evident, frank acceptance of both parts of her life is deeply moving, and empowering too. As she said in an interview, "I didn't want to make the transgender version of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?. I'm excited that at Outfest our film will find an audience that wants to see trans film take steps beyond that." Indeed, as Ed Gonzalez wrote in The Village Voice, the film stands as "a rebuke to the overage of documentaries that hermetically reflect on gender identity." It's not surprising that Prodigal Sons has won an enthusiastic reception in the LGBT community, but it's a larger film that deserves a diverse audience. (And no, Details doesn't count.)
Prodigal Sons will be screening around the country starting in February.

For this challenge we had to create a layout about any subject you like but use as many embellishments as you can! Use up some stash and see how creative you can be. For every DIFFERENT embellishment you use, give yourself a point. A button equals 1 point or 5 buttons still equals one point, for example. I chose to do this cute picture of Rachel and her friend when she was about 5. This is a pic with all my Christmas stuff animals that I place under the tree and then move them around the presents as we start placing them under the tree. One day Kristin and Rachel decided to pile them on the sofa and hide in them. This is the pic I snapped way back many YEARS before I was a scrapper!! LOL.... There is a hidden tag next to the blue sequins that pulls out to the right of the pic. It is the blue torn edge with the ribbon on it. I still need to journal it though. Here is a list of the embellishments I use: 1. gold cord on the letter "O" in moment's 2. Felt star 3. Gemstone circle 4. Die cut snowflakes 5. Chipboard - frame around the word friends 6. Silver heart charm (bottom right corner with fiber) 7. Bluish spiral clip (bottom right side with fiber) 8. little candy cane (bottom right side with fiber) 9. tag with year (bottom right side with fiber) 10. pearls on red felt star 11. brad - blue bling under "M" in moments 12. clear buttons - down left side 13. Red & green flower bling - down left side 14. stamped, color and cut-out image - little hedgehog 15. Red fiber - with spiral clip - right bottom side 16. Rub-on - word "friends" in chipboard frame 17. Green magic mesh - behind magic moments and bottom right side 18. Red photo anchor - under "S" in moments 19. Little Green prima flower - bottom next to chipboard frame 20. eyelet - in the center of the little green flower 21. Red embroidery thread 22. Blue ribbon with small snowflakes - down the center of lo 23. Ice blue sequins - left side and right side of pic 24. Photo corner - bottom left of pic 25. Red Ric-rac - bottom right side 26. Christmas postage stamp - left side next to large snowflake 27. Silver word staple with "giggle" on it - bottom right side above ric-rac 28.

Street racers dart in-an-out of oncoming traffic at night, hitting triple digit speeds across multiple stages. This isn't a video game. Or, well, it is a video game. But it's also what these Chinese street racers did in this incredible video series.
In posting this we must point out how despicable, awful, terrible, unconscionable, and otherwise crappy this is. Speeding across populated highways with no consequences of any kind absolutely sends the wrong message. Do not try this at home.
This would be better if If it were a video game like Need For Speed, because these guys would have already been spotted by the police and helicopters would be dropping barrels of explosives onto the road. If this was Gran Turismo (and with the video quality it's GT2-esque) someone would have pushed it too far and crashed into the wall.
But it doesn't happen. Amazingly, the Honda S2000, Acura Integra, and other cars featured in this roughly hour-long film manage to cross a giant chunk of China without hitting anyone or anything. In terms of capturing a real life street race this series, called "Back Up," is in a class of its own.
Just don't try this at home. This is why video games, slot cars, and track days exist.

That makes sense - plus I should probably take a course or something. I've tried to learn on my own, but maybe that's a mistake.
Top 10 mathematical innovations
1. Arabic numerals
2. Calculus (Isaac Newton, Gottfried Leibniz)
3. Negative numbers (Brahmagupta)
4. Zero (Brahmagupta)
5. Decimal fractions (Simon Stevin, Abu'l Hasan Al-Uqlidisi)
6. Binary logic (George Boole)
7. Non-Euclidean geometry (Carl Gauss, Nikolai Lobachevsky, János Bolyai, Bernhard Riemann)
8. Complex numbers (Girolamo Cardano, Rafael Bombelli)
9. Matrix algebra (Arthur Cayley)
10. Logarithms (John Napier, Joost Bürgi, Henry Briggs)
What do you think?
#11. Fingers and toes
One of the local papers had the headline:
How do you load one?
Several years ago, there was a story about a man who was at home and another man entered, pointing an automatic pistol. The assailant pulled the trigger but the gun didn't fire. The shooter looked at the gun and realized the magazine had fallen out. End of story, right?
No, the man told his intended victim to wait while he went back to his car for the bullets, and left. The victim scooted, too.
So funny! So, did he wait?
I loved this article (though not word related) about the observations of German children who have been living in Chicago. I don't know if you can access it, so if not here's a quote from it:
From the on-line Muncie Star Press: Delta High School was without partial power this morning, causing the high school to dismiss at 10 a.m.
I would think they'd be happy to not have partial power, but maybe that's just moi.
Well I expect the kids were happy enough to get off school for a day.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
No, they want total control.
I wonder what "partial power" is. Power in just part of the building? Or not quite enough power so that the lights are dim (I have seen that)?
Evidence-based medicine actually isn't
Evidence based medicine: a movement in crisis?
by Trisha Greenhalgh, Professor of Primary Health Care and Dean for Research Impact, Centre for Primary Care and Public Health.
On my way to work on Sundays I listen to this: http://soundmedicine.org/ Today there was a discussion very much like what you posted, Tinman. It seems that Consumer Reports Magazine and a group of health professionals are establishing similar guidelines to what you posted.
This must have been discussed awhile back? Anyway, Tinman, these principles look quite accurate. The think about a lot of statistically significant results in medicine is just what Tinman posted about crises in medicine - too often millions are spent on studies that show "significant differences" and yet they are really only marginally helpful, if that, in actual practice.
I enjoyed this article , which is tangentially related to words/language. It's supposedly about the language of horses, though it really only touches upon that. Her use of words, though, is what interested me. And I learned a new word, sprezzatura, meaning "an easy nonchalance that conceals effort." I suppose ballet dancers have (?) sprezzatura.
Geoff read this article and found this:
He asked, and I wonder too - "eloquent ears??"
Actually, the position and movement of a horse's ears day give a good indication of its state of mind.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Hmmm, you have a point. I think of "eloquent" as meaning "articulate." However, one of the definitions in an online dictionary is, "movingly expressive," which I really like.
Interesting article about overdiagnosis.
Even when correct, diagnoses can harm kids
Totally agree. It happens all the time with adults, too. However, here is another side of the story.
With pediatrics it reminds me of Munchausen Syndrome, where the mother (usually, though it could be the primary caretaker) makes up, exaggerates or even causes symptoms in their kids.
Hi Tinman; Away back in August you posted a link that celebrated the top 10 mathematical innovations, and you asked:
... You got no further suggestions in answer to your question (beyond Proofreader's jocose offering!), but IMHO there are two other recent significant mathematical innovations - to wit, Chaos theory, and Catastrophe theory - where the former is surely big enough to belong in the top 10 (replacing either "zero" or "logarithms"). Fractals, arising out of Chaos theory is the missing link in being able to apply mathematical modeling to a vast range of physical "irregular things" that previously defied such modeling (mountains, waves, forests, flowers, trees, etc....).
The invention of "zero" I have always felt to be over-rated - necessary, to be sure, but inevitable, and therefore not worthy to be called a Top-10 "innovation" (the mathematical equivalent of calling the wheel an innovation).
"The smell of the dust they kicked up was rich and satisfying" - Grahame
Whereabouts in the top ten list would you place them? Or would you prefer to expand the list to a top 12?
I differ from you on that. In fact, I'd drop calculus down to fifth and move zero up to second, above negative numbers; the concept of zero is really necessary before negative numbers can be grasped fully.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
This is a rather sad commentary in the NYTs newspaper about what has happened to college professors in the last 30 years or so.
It's interesting that, as so often, there's a difference in US-UK usage of 'professor'. In the UK a professor is a senior academic, usually the head of a department. I understand that pretty well every tenured faculty member involved in teaching is styled 'professor' in the USA. Over here the more junior teaching staff are called 'lecturer' or 'senior lecturer'. There is, therefore, only a handful of professors at each university.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Thanks, Kalleh, I would have missed the article. Did you check out the comment thread as well? The first bunch of "NYT Picks" offer detail on what has changed.
I did not read the comment thread. Thanks for alerting me!
Arnie, a professor here is often considered the senior academic, too, because in the academic hierarchy they are the "full professors." The lower professors are the assistants and the associates. We have lecturers as well, though not senior lecturers. The lecturers aren't on a tenure track, however, though the fulls, associates and assistants are. I am sure that's all as clear as mud!
This article talks about the importance of interpreters during war and how one man decided to help them to come to America.
I particularly liked this comment, having visited Scotland recently: "Meanwhile, over in America, Mr. Zeller was putting his Scottish orneriness to good effect, enlisting members of Congress, prodding the bureaucracy and in general refusing to take no for an answer."
Language heard, but never spoken, by young babies bestows a hidden benefit

Sadly, T. Rump (as you call him; I either call him "president" or Donald) will never take note of anything.
Instead of Donald Duck (I mean Trump), we should call him daffy duck. If he didn't hold such a position of power, he would be laughable.
Oh, I do like that.
Of all my years of living here in the U.S., I never would have thought I'd feel this way about our "president."
I think we should use "president" Trump when referring to him.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Wounded Knee Massacre.
|Wounded Knee Incident
|American Indian Movement
|U.S. Marshals Service Federal Bureau of Investigation
|Casualties and losses
|2 killed
|1 killed[citation needed]
Oglala and AIM activists controlled the town for 71 days while the United States Marshals Service, FBI agents, and other law enforcement agencies cordoned off the area. The activists chose the site of the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre for its symbolic value. Both sides were armed and shooting was frequent. A U.S. Marshall was paralyzed from a gunshot wound early during the occupation, and later died from complications;[citation needed] a Cherokee and an Oglala Lakota were killed by shootings in April 1973. Ray Robinson, a civil rights activist who joined the protesters, disappeared during the events and is believed to have been murdered. Due to damage to the houses, the small community was not reoccupied until the 1990s.
The occupation attracted wide media coverage, especially after the press accompanied two U.S. Senators from South Dakota to Wounded Knee. The events electrified American Indians, who were inspired by the sight of their people standing in defiance of the government which had so often failed them. Many Indian supporters traveled to Wounded Knee to join the protest. At the time there was widespread public sympathy for the goals of the occupation, as Americans were becoming more aware of longstanding issues of injustice related to American Indians. Afterward AIM leaders Dennis Banks and Russell Means were indicted on charges related to the events, but their 1974 case was dismissed by the federal court for prosecutorial misconduct, a decision upheld on appeal.
Wilson stayed in office and in 1974 was re-elected amid charges of intimidation, voter fraud, and other abuses. The rate of violence climbed on the reservation as conflict opened between political factions in the following three years; residents accused Wilson's private militia, Guardians of the Oglala Nation (GOONs), for much of it. More than 60 opponents of the tribal government died violently during those years, including Pedro Bissonette, director of the Oglala Sioux Civil Rights Organization]] (OSCRO).[1]
OccupationOn February 27, 1973, AIM leaders Russell Means (Oglala Sioux) and Carter Camp (Ponca), together with 200 activists and Oglala Lakota (Oglala Sioux) of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation who opposed Oglala tribal chairman Richard Wilson, occupied the town of Wounded Knee in protest against Wilson's administration, as well as against the federal government's persistent failures to honor its treaties with Native American nations. The U.S. government law enforcement, including FBI agents, surrounded Wounded Knee the same day with armed reinforcements. They gradually gained more arms.[2]
Disputed factsAccording to former South Dakota Senator James Abourezk, "on February 25, 1973 the U.S. Department of Justice sent out 50 U.S. Marshals to the Pine Ridge Reservation to be available in the case of a civil disturbance".[3] This followed the failed impeachment attempt and meetings of opponents of Wilson.[3] AIM says that its organization went to Wounded Knee for an open meeting and "within hours police had set up roadblocks, cordoned off the area and began arresting people leaving town...the people prepared to defend themselves against the government's aggressions".[4] By the morning of February 28, both sides began to be entrenched.
BackgroundFor years, internal tribal tensions had been growing over the difficult conditions on the Pine Ridge Reservation, which has been one of the poorest areas in the USA since it was set up. Many of the tribe believed that Wilson, elected tribal chairman in 1972, had rapidly become autocratic and corrupt, controlling too much of the employment and other limited opportunities on the reservation. They believed that Wilson favored his family and friends in patronage awards of the limited number of jobs and benefits. Some criticism addressed the mixed-race ancestry of Wilson and his favorites, and suggested they worked too closely with BIA officials who still had a hand in reservation affairs. Some full-blood Oglala believed they were not getting fair opportunities.
"Traditionals" had their own leaders and influence in a parallel stream to the elected government recognized by the United States. The traditionals tended to be Oglala who held onto their language and customs, and did not participate in federal programs administered by the tribal government.
In his 2007 book on twentieth-century political history of the Pine Ridge Reservation, historian Akim Reinhardt notes the decades-long ethnic and cultural differences among residents at the reservation. He attributes the Wounded Knee incident more to the rising of such internal tensions than to the arrival of AIM, who had been invited to the reservation by OSCRO. He also believes that the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 did not do enough to reduce U.S. federal government intervention into Sioux and other tribal affairs; he describes the elected tribal governments since the 1930s as a system of "indirect colonialism".[5] Oglala Sioux opposition to such elected governments was longstanding on the reservation; at the same time, the limited two-year tenure of the president's position made it difficult for leaders to achieve much. Officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, administrators and police, still had much influence at Pine Ridge and other American Indian reservations, which many tribal members opposed.[5]
Specifically, opponents of Wilson protested his sale of grazing rights on tribal lands to local (white) ranchers at too low a rate, reducing income to the tribe as a whole, whose members held the land communally. They also complained of his land-use decision to lease nearly one-eighth of the reservation's mineral-rich lands to private companies. Some full-blood Lakota complained of having been marginalized since the start of the reservation system. Most did not bother to participate in tribal elections, which led to tensions on all sides. There had been increasing violence on the reservation, which many attributed to Wilson's private militia, Guardians of the Oglala Nation (informally called the GOONs), attacking political opponents to suppress opposition.
Another concern was the failure of the justice systems in border towns to prosecute white attacks against Lakota men who went to the towns for their numerous saloons and bars. Alcohol was prohibited on the reservation. Local police seldom prosecuted crimes against the Lakota, or charged assailants at lesser levels. Recent murders in border towns heightened concerns on the reservation. An example was the early 1973 murder of 20-year-old Wesley Bad Heart Bull in a bar in Buffalo Gap, which the tribe believed was due to his race. AIM led supporters to a meeting at the Custer courthouse, where they expected to discuss civil rights issues and wanted charges against the suspect raised to murder from second-degree manslaughter. They were met by riot police, who allowed only five people to enter the courthouse, despite blizzard conditions outside. Reinhardt notes that the confrontation became violent, during which protesters burned down the chamber of commerce building, damaged the courthouse and destroyed two police cars, and vandalized other buildings.[5]
Three weeks before Wounded Knee, the tribal council had charged Wilson with several items for an impeachment hearing. However, Wilson was able to avoid a trial, as the prosecution was not ready to proceed immediately, the presiding official would not take new charges, and the council voted to close the hearings. Charges had been brought by a coalition of local Oglala, grouped loosely around the "traditionals", the Oglala Sioux Civil Rights Organization (OSCRO), and tribal members of the American Indian Movement. Wilson opponents were angered that he had evaded impeachment. U.S. Marshals offered him and his family protection at a time of heightened tensions and protected the BIA headquarters at the reservation. Wilson added more fortification to the facility.
IncidentThe traditional chiefs and AIM leaders met with the community to discuss how to deal with the deteriorating situation on the reservation. Women elders such as OSCRO founder Ellen Moves Camp, Gladys Bissonette, and Agnes Lamont urged the men to take action.[5] They decided to make a stand at the hamlet of Wounded Knee, the renowned site of the last large-scale massacre of the American Indian Wars. They occupied the town and announced their demand for the removal of Wilson from office and for immediate revival of treaty talks with the U.S. government. Dennis Banks and Russell Means were prominent spokesmen during the occupation; they often addressed the press, knowing they were making their cause known directly to the American public. The brothers Clyde and Vernon Bellecourt were also AIM leaders at the time, who generally operated in Minneapolis.[6]
The federal government established roadblocks around the community for 15 miles in every direction. In some areas, Wilson stationed his GOONs outside the federal boundary and required even federal officials to stop for passage.[7]
About ten days into the occupation, the federal government lifted the roadblocks and forced Wilson's people away as well. When the cordon was briefly lifted, many new supporters and activists joined the Oglala Lakota at Wounded Knee. Publicity had made the site and action an inspiration to American Indians nationally. About this time, the leaders declared the territory of Wounded Knee to be the independent Oglala Nation and demanded negotiations with the U.S. Secretary of State.[7]
A small delegation, including Frank Fools Crow, the senior elder, and his interpreter, flew to New York in an attempt to address and be recognized by the United Nations. While they received international coverage, they did not receive recognition as a sovereign nation by the UN.[7] This was the beginning of indigenous appeals directly to the United Nations and an international audience. Over the next decades, the UN would increasingly recognize indigenous issues and pass policy in favor of indigenous rights but it would take until 2012 before the UN would look into the plight of U.S. Native Americans for first time.[8]
John Sayer, a Wounded Knee chronicler, wrote that:[9]
- "The equipment maintained by the military while in use during the siege included fifteen armored personnel carriers, clothing, rifles, grenade launchers, flares, and 133,000 rounds of ammunition, for a total cost, including the use of maintenance personnel from the National Guard of five states and pilot and planes for aerial photographs, of over half a million dollars".
On March 13, Harlington Wood Jr., the assistant attorney general for the Civil Division of the U.S. Justice Department (DOJ), became the first government official to enter Wounded Knee without a military escort. Determined to resolve the deadlock without further bloodshed, he met with AIM leaders for days. While exhaustion made him too ill to conclude the negotiation, he is credited as the "icebreaker" between the government and AIM.[12][13]
After 30 days, the government's tactics became harsher when Kent Frizell was appointed from DOJ to manage the government's response. He cut off electricity, water and food supplies to Wounded Knee, when it was still winter in South Dakota, and prohibited the entry of the media.[7] AIM says that "the government tried starving out the [occupants]", and that its activists smuggled food and medical supplies in past roadblocks "set up by Dick Wilson and tacitly supported by the government".[4] Keefer, the Deputy U.S. Marshal at the scene, said there were no persons between federal agents and the town, and that the federal marshals' firepower would have killed anyone in the open landscape. The Marshals Service decided to wait out the AIM followers in order to reduce casualties on both sides. Some East Coast activists organized an airlift of food supplies to Wounded Knee.[7]
Both AIM and federal government documents show that the two sides traded fire through much of the three months.[2][4] Early in the fighting an FBI agent was fatally wounded by fire from the town.[citation needed] The U.S. Marshal Lloyd Grimm was shot early in the conflict and suffered paralysis from the waist down.[3] Among the many Indian supporters who joined the protest were Frank Clearwater and his pregnant wife, who were Cherokee from North Carolina.[7] He was hit in the head on April 17 while he slept, less than 24 hours after arrival, and he died on April 25.[3]
When Lawrence "Buddy" Lamont, a local Oglala Lakota, was killed by a shot from a government sniper on April 26, he was buried on the site in a Sioux ceremony. After his death, tribal elders called an end to the occupation.[7] Knowing the young man and his mother from the reservation, many Oglala were greatly sorrowed by his death. Both sides reached an agreement on May 5 to disarm.[3][4] With the decision made, many Oglala Lakota began to leave Wounded Knee at night, walking out through the federal lines.[7] Three days later, the siege ended and the town was evacuated after 71 days of occupation; the government took control of the town.[3][4]
Ray Robinson, a black civil rights activist, went to South Dakota to join the Wounded Knee occupation. He was seen there by both a journalist and a white activist.[14] He disappeared during the siege and his body was never found. One AIM leader, Carter Camp, said years later that Robinson had walked away under his own power, seeking aid for a wounded leg. Other witnesses have recalled open conflict between Robinson and AIM activists.[14]
His widow Cheryl Robinson believes he was murdered during the incident. In 2004, after the conviction of a man for the murder of Anna Mae Aquash, Robinson renewed her calls for an investigation into her husband's death.[15] Paul DeMain, editor of News From Indian Country, has said that based on interviews, he believes "Robinson was killed because AIM thought he was an FBI spy".[16]
Support for actionPublic opinion polls revealed widespread sympathy for the Native Americans at Wounded Knee.[17] They also received support from the Congressional Black Caucus as well as various actors, activists, and prominent public figures, including Marlon Brando, Johnny Cash, Angela Davis, Jane Fonda, William Kunstler, and Tom Wicker.[17][18]
After DOJ prohibited the media from the site, press attention decreased. However, actor Marlon Brando, an AIM supporter, asked Sacheen Littlefeather, an Apache actress, to speak at the 45th Academy Awards on his behalf, as he had been nominated for his performance in The Godfather. She appeared at the ceremony in traditional Apache clothing. When his name was announced as the winner, she said that he declined the award due to the "poor treatment of Native Americans in the film industry" in an improvised speech as she was told she could not give the original speech given to her by Brando and was warned that she would be physically taken off and arrested if she was on stage for more than a minute. Afterwards, she read his original words about Wounded Knee backstage to many of the press. This recaptured the attention of millions in the United States and world media. AIM supporters and participants Drew James thought Littlefeather's speech to be a major victory for their movement.[19] Although Angela Davis was turned away by federal forces as an "undesirable person" when she attempted to enter Wounded Knee in March 1973,[20] AIM participants believed that the attention garnered by such public figures forestalled U.S. military intervention.[18]
AftermathFollowing the end of the 1973 stand-off, the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation had a higher rate of internal violence. Residents complained of physical attacks and intimidation by president Richard Wilson's followers, the so-called GOONS or Guardians of the Oglala Nation. The murder rate between March 1, 1973, and March 1, 1976, was 170 per 100,000. Detroit had a rate of 20.2 per 100,000 in 1974 and at the time was considered "the murder capital of the US". The national average was 9.7 per 100,000.[21] More than 60 opponents of the tribal government died violently during this period, including Pedro Bissonette, executive director of OSCRO. AIM representatives said many were unsolved murders, but in 2002 the FBI issued a report disputing this.[22]
1974 trial of Banks and MeansThe U.S. District Court of South Dakota (Fred Joseph Nichol, presiding judge) dismissed the charges against Banks and Means for the 1973 Wounded Knee incident (both were defended by William Kunstler and Mark Lane) due to its determination of prosecutorial misconduct.[23] The government's appeal from the decision was dismissed.[24]

Absolutely… spending a day at Fenway Park is one of the best ways to enjoy a day here in the Boston area, but, let's be honest, it is not always that easy to score tickets that are affordable. And…if you have young children, you can't guarantee they'll care much about the game. I've seen more grumpy moms and dads grudgingly leave the ballpark because their young child was "done." OR….you spend a gazillion dollars on ice cream, popcorn, peanuts, cotton candy, big foam fingers, Wallys, inflatable bats, and other souvenirs as tokens of hush money….all to no avail. 3rd inning…out the door.
I'll never recover from a day a few years ago when I brought Thatcher onto the field with me pre game to take photos of the players warming up. He was a super cute 4 year old at the time and was wearing a "Pedroia" shirt. We walked past the dugout and Kevin Youkilis started to raz Thatch for not wearing his # instead. Within a minute Thatcher had the attention of Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, and Josh Beckett. They were all chatting him up and joking with him and I couldn't have been happier. Thatch?….you may ask. Over the moon?…you may assume. Well, not exactly. After a minute of tolerating the attention, he turned to me and said, "Can we go back to our seats before Finn eats all the popcorn?" Alrightly then. Bye guys.
So, while my boys are now old enough to love Red Sox games, and they get through a whole 9 innings or more with only a little bit of bribing, it is still something that we can really only pull off a couple of times each summer.
The solution?? Three words. Minor League Games! My boys are almost just as happy to head to the Lowell Spinners, the Pawtucket Red Sox (PawSox), and, hopefully soon, the Portland Sea Dogs. The venues are incredibly family friendly, affordable, and FUN. The children get much closer access to the players and can often times score themselves a run around the bases, an autograph opportunity, or a chance to catch something chucked into the stands in between innings.
I, just a moment ago, received an email from the Spinners reminding me of the Family Sleepover. Come on….talk about fun for kids! You go to the game, head back to the car for a minute, grab your tent and gear, set up shop, watch a movie on the scoreboard, and spend the night sleeping on the field.
If you have a budding baseball fan in the family and haven't taken advantage of the minor league teams in our area, you're missing out. I highly recommend looking into tickets….and, might I add, there really isn't bad seat in any of those houses!
Play Ball my friends!

About the ProductNothing would be as it is in this collection without the material it is made of: solid wood. Wood gives identity to the pieces; it is the starting point, the reason of every detail in the project. Because this design is based on the details and they can only be constructed thanks to the material. At the same time, this collection is inspired by Expormim's long-standing tradition in handcrafted rattan and seeks dialogue with it.
The BrandMore about this Brand
La Exportadora del Mimbre was founded by lawyer Miguel Laso Tortosa in 1960 to export wicker products. Tortosa had identified a gap in the European market for products made from natural materials. He brought in the wicker from the nearby region of Cuenca and it was handcrafted into baskets, folding screens, cradles and toys. A few years later, armchairs and loungechairs were added to the company's range.

Supervisors concerned auditor's voter survey results skewed
By B. Adam Burke
North Liberty Leader
IOWA CITY– Johnson County Auditor Tom Slockett sent 1,500 survey postcards to voters in rural and unattached voting precincts to assess opinions on current polling stations, should they be closed or consolidated.
At least two members of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors were unhappy about the unscientific survey.
During a June 23 informal session with the Board of Supervisors, Slockett presented a packet that included a draft map, recent general election turnout by county and precinct, data on Election Day costs per voter in Johnson County, and the results of the rural survey that was sent to 15 outlying precincts.
Because of population shifts shown in the 2010 Census, voting precincts throughout the county and cities must be reviewed and adjusted if necessary. County officials and city councils must approve new precinct boundaries by Sept. 1, 2011, but new precinct maps won't take effect until Jan. 15, 2012.
Slockett said he sent the survey to rural voters after the supervisors expressed an interest in receiving and discussing election costs for rural precinct townships. According to Slockett's documents, election day costs ran the county $120,036 for the Nov. 4, 2008, presidential vote.
However, Supervisor Rod Sullivan took issue with the auditor's survey method. "We're only surveying rural voters but everybody's paying for the elections, said Sullivan.
Sullivan told Slockett he was frustrated by the survey.
"I think you're picking and choosing the statistics you want to skew it to the result you want," he said, saying that Slockett had "fired an opening shot" by upsetting county residents before the board could even discuss polling sites.
"The rural people of Johnson County have been told one way or another that the evil board of supervisors wants to cut back on your voting options," Sullivan added.
Slockett denied the claim, and later pointed out that, as commissioner of elections, he represented rural voters too. "I care about them and I care what they think about elections and their ease of voting, and I will tell you many of them feel that voting is much more difficult for them than it is for students and city residents."
Slockett noted that supervisors could reset the precincts in almost any way they wanted, and his survey was just a way to gather information to help make precinct decisions.
The 15-precinct survey mailing was paid by a postage budget line item at the auditor's office. Supervisor Janelle Rettig shared the board's fiscal perspective, noting that Slockett had spent money to send the survey without board approval.
"We have a growing county and our budget can't keep up with it and so we're asking everyone to find efficiencies. Figure out how to save… we've had this discussion with almost every department head," said Rettig.
She also questioned the auditor's survey methods.
"You were willing to spend a couple thousand dollars to do what is not a scientific survey with questions that were tainted to the results you actually wanted," said Rettig.
After mailing postcards to 100 random computer-selected voters in each of the 15 rural townships, the auditor's office received 498 (33 percent) returned survey postcards. Of those respondents, 39 percent said they might not vote if their rural township polling places were closed. Sixty-three percent said they would find another way or place to vote if their polling site were closed. Some of the returned surveys also contained voter commentaries, which were included in the auditor's packet.
Six townships– those with no town located within its boundaries or with a population of 3,500 or more– were not included in the survey.
Slockett's office also presented the supervisors with a draft map showing redrawn precinct lines that shrank the county's precinct total by one.
There was some discussion of satellite voting stations, and Slockett explained that satellite locations are beyond the control of his office, often required by petitions that get signed at local political party meetings.
Slocket provided extensive data on election costs, broken down by precinct, by township and by cost per voter at different voting sites.
Big Grove voters, who cast ballots at the Solon Public Library, cost the county just $2.34 per voter on Election Day 2008, the lowest in the county.
Clear Creek Amana precinct voters cost $11.77 per voter, second highest in the county for 2008. Lincoln Township had the highest per voter cost, at $12.68 per voter. Townships with smaller populations are more costly because even though they see a lower voter turnout, the polling site must still be staffed by at least three poll workers.
Cedar Township, the northeast Johnson County precinct which was proposed to be closed by Slockett's office in 2003 because of accessibility issues, ran $4 per voter in 2008, near the middle of the pack for the county.
A minimum of three workers is required for each precinct on Election Day, but 18 workers were required at North Liberty's first precinct (NL1) in 2008, the most in the county.
Overall, the precinct designated as NL1 was the most costly Johnson County precinct in 2008, at $5,303.72.
The Board of Supervisors took no action on the survey or voter information provided, but are scheduled to meet again on the subject in August.

The result: STEAM -- with the A standing for "arts" -- implying that the intersection between the arts and the sciences is the place where the rubber meets the road. From conferences like the "Bridging STEM to STEAM" forum hosted by the Rhode Island School of Design, to NSF-funded projects like Chicago's Art of Science Learning project, the STEAM concept seems to be gaining ground.

Football's popularity exploded in Japan in the 1990s. The country hosted and won the AFC Asian Cup – both for the first time – in 1992. They staged the FIFA U-16 World Championship the following year, when they beat Mexico and an Italy squad including Gianluigi Buffon and Francesco Totti to a quarter-final place, before losing 2-1 to eventual champions Nigeria. That same year, Kazu Miura was named the maiden AFC Footballer of the Year, while the J.League was launched to overwhelming success and began luring superstars such as Careca, Dunga, Michael Laudrup, Gary Lineker, Pierre Littbarski, Toto Schillaci and Zico.
Yet these successes served to fuel Japanese supporters' thirst for an even greater climax: a maiden qualification for the FIFA World Cup™. On 16 November 1997, they had the chance to finally achieve that feat. After finishing second in Group B in the final round of Asian Zone qualifying, Japan faced Iran – the runners-up in the other pool – with the winners progressing directly to France 1998 and the losers entering an intercontinental play-off for a place at the showpiece event.
The Samurai Blue were, however, up against it on neutral turf in Malaysia. Team Melli were the record three-time AFC Asian Cup winners; they had already qualified for the World Cup in 1978; and they had won six and drawn three of their 12 previous meetings with Japan. Moreover, their spearhead comprised reigning Asian Footballer of the Year Khodadad Azizi and Ali Daei, who was on his way to outranking Ferenc Puskas as international football's all-time leading marksman.
Nakata bound for stardom
Japan nevertheless had their own reason for optimism. Hidetoshi Nakata had dazzled at the FIFA U-16 World Championship in 1993 and the FIFA U-20 World Cup two years later. The playmaker's performances in those tournaments prompted Italian colossuses Juventus to hand him a trial – something unknown for an 18-year-old Asian – and at the Men's Olympic Football Tournament Atlanta 1996, Nakata inspired Japan to a heroic victory over a Brazil team including Roberto Carlos, Juninho Paulista, Rivaldo and Ronaldo.
Earlier in 1997, Namie Amuro's mega-hit, 'Can You Celebrate?', became the biggest-selling single by a female in Japanese music history. The press predicted that if Nakata could spark Japanese celebrations on 16 November of that same year, he would even outrank the 'Queen of Japanese Pop Music' in the popularity stakes.
He rapidly began living up to his hype, nutmegging a marker and playing a handsome pass to Hiroshi Nanami, whose touch let him down. Six minutes before half-time, however, Nakata's invention did pay dividends. He burst through the midfield and somehow managed to poke the ball through to Masashi Nakayama, who fired the ball past Reza Abedzadeh to break the deadlock.
Within 15 minutes of the restart, however, the Iranians had transformed a deficit into a lead. First, Azizi tapped the ball home at the back post after Kawaguchi had parried a shot, and then Daei produced a patented high jumper's leap between two defenders and powered a header into the bottom corner.
Japan's aged dream was on the verge of being shattered, but youth combined to restore it on 75 minutes. Nakata collected the ball on the left flank, cut inside, and delivered a pinpoint, inswinging cross on to the head of 22-year-old Shoji Jo, who neatly guided it into the bottom corner to level the scores.
The last quarter-hour went goalless, meaning that either a 'golden goal' or a penalty shoot-out would decide which team banked themselves a ticket to France and which would have to do battle with Australia for the honour.
Viera Badu's mandate during the break was obvious upon play's resumption: double up on Nakata. It starved the Japan No8 of possession, but when his outstretched leg got to the ball just before an opponent 90 seconds before the referee whistled for the final time, he had the opportunity he required to make something happen. Nakata swiftly side-stepped two Iranians, carried the ball to the edge of the box and unleashed a low, left-foot strike that was heading for the bottom corner. Abedzadeh instinctively flung his body south-west and managed to get his fingertips to it, but it presented Masayuki Okano with the simplest of tap-ins.
Okano, arms outstretched and mouth agape, sprinted off in delirium as all his team-mates and the entire Japan bench scampered over to swarm the scorer of the most important goal in Japanese football history. There was, however, zero doubt as to who was the biggest hero on that unforgettable day in Johor Bahru. World football would soon hear a lot more from Hidetoshi Nakata.


text: I'm going to be replacing the front shocks on my 2000 528i with Sport Package (shocks will be Sachs sport package which I understand are basically the same as OEM). One of the front shocks is leaking. As far as I know the are the original ones. I'd like to take care of any other items that can be handled while the front suspension is apart. I think most of my bushings are OK, since there is no vibration at highway speed. Does any company offer polyurethane bushings for the stock sway bars? I remember that from my car-crazy youth as a cheap and easy way to make the sway bar a little tighter without replacing it. Sport package front bar is 24 mm (for I-6 engine). I would plan on replacing the rear sway bar with either the stock M5 part (16.5 mm) or the Dinan (17 mm), depending on cost. I prefer a more neutral handling balance, instead of "stock understeer".

Wim Vandekeybus was born in Herenthout (Belgium) in 1963. His father was a vet. After finishing secondary school, he moved to Leuven to study Psychology. In 1985, however, he decided to follow a completely different path and auditioned for Jan Fabre, who gave him a part in The Power of Theatrical Madness. One year later, he founded Ultima Vez.
His first show, What the Body Does Not Remember, was an international success, earning him a Bessie Award (New York Dance and Performance Award) for its innovation. And now after almost 30 years and a whole series of films and videos, Wim Vandekeybus is still searching for novelty and innovation. « For me, the form has to be different every time," he explains. "This is why on one occasion I might create an extremely musical show (nieuwZwart or Speak low if you speak love…), then for my next project base a film on the experiences of one man (Monkey Sandwich), why I then might switch to a classical mythology play (Oedipus/bêt noir) or even an analytical piece in which theatricality plays a major part (booty Looting or Talk to the Demon). »
In all these very different productions, Ultima Vez nevertheless remains true to its own movement idiom. Tension, conflict, body versus mind, risks and impulses. Physicality, passion, intuition, instinct. These are essential elements that will always be part of Vandekeybus' work. But on each occasion they are given a completely different appearance.
This variety is made possible partly through collaboration with dancers, circus performers, actors, musicians and other artists from a whole range of disciplines. Music and sound have naturally become the common thread running through his work. Peter Vermeersch, Thierry De Mey, David Byrne, Marc Ribot, Eavesdropper, David Eugene Edwards, Daan, Arno, Charo Calvo, Mauro Pawlowski, Roland Van Campenhout and Elko Blijweert have all composed music for his shows. As a general rule, their compositions are written during the rehearsal stage so that the show and the music develop symbiotically. However, photography and the lyrics and lines are equally important. In booty Looting, Danny Willems takes photos – he walks around the stage amongst the performers, his eye to the lens, and presents his photos live. The writer Peter Verhelst has worked on scripts for Vandekeybus four times (Scratching the Inner Fields, Blush, Sonic Boom and nieuwZwart) and Vandekeybus used Jan Decorte's adaptation of Oedipus, for Bêt noir, no less than three times before he had finally finished with this text.
In December 2012 Vandekeybus received the Keizer Karel prize from the Province of East Flanders. This prize is awarded every three years to an artist as a mark of his exceptional talent in the field of art and culture, his commitment and his work with younger generations.

We've seen Wii lightsaber attachments before, but Thrustmaster's version actually looks like something we'd be excited in using. These add-on sticks are powered by three AAAs and have 17 blue or red LEDs for glow-in-the-dark action. Nice, but we're not sure how much more "gameplay" it'll add to The Force Unleashed. Bonus shot for awkward Canadian teens after the jump. [Thrustmaster via Go Nintendo]

Francona: Perez not required to address media
CLEVELAND -- Closer Chris Perez blew off reporters after blowing a save in a tough loss to the Tigers on Monday night. One day later, manager Terry Francona downplayed the fact that Perez left Progressive Field without making himself available to the media.
"Guys aren't forced to," Francona said on Tuesday. "In a perfect world, guys stand in front of their locker. Sometimes it's not a perfect world."
Perez, who made plenty of headlines last season for his outspokenness, has pulled a total reversal over the past several weeks. Since returning from the disabled list in late June, he has made it clear that he will no longer do on-the-record interviews with local reporters.
He held his ground when a group of media members approached his locker prior to Tuesday's game against Detroit.
"I'm not talking the rest of the year," Perez said. "Quit asking."
In the ninth inning of Monday's 4-2 loss, Perez surrendered four runs on three hits before being pulled by Francona without recording a single out. He had posted a 0.95 ERA, with 11 saves in as many chances, in his previous 18 games dating back to his return from an injured right shoulder on June 28.
On Monday he was pitching for the third day in a row, but Francona was not going to read too much into his pitcher's performance considering his strong run of late.
"C.P. blew a save last night," Francona said. "If I end up reinventing because of last night, I would have a hard time answering questions. I was disappointed we lost the game -- very disappointed. I wouldn't have done anything different. And I think, if you think it through, you'd probably come to the same conclusion."
Though a few of Perez's teammates expressed displeasure about his decision to leave the ballpark without taking responsibility for his performance, they did not want to be directly quoted, and Francona is not concerned that the issue would become a problem for the team.
"I don't think it's worrisome," Francona said. "I think those things with a team have a way of working themselves out -- and it doesn't necessarily have to be in public. I think that's where teams kind of come together and take care of team things."
As for speaking to reporters in general, Francona reiterated that it is not required.
"It's his personal choice," he said. "I think we try to foster an environment where -- good, bad, in between -- guys are accountable. Some guys choose to not talk. Like I said, it's not always a perfect world."
