During the early 1980s the label's distinctive jangle-pop sound was established by bands such as The Chills, The Verlaines, The Dead C, Sneaky Feelings, The Bats and The Jean-Paul Sartre Experience.

Edgy times demand edgy music, new voices and perspectives.

And the new wave breaking hard on NZ's pop charts in the early 1980s willingly provided it.

For the first time in recent memory, pop music seemed vital, contested and plugged into fast unfolding international taste again.

Musical mavericks from the UK and New York were working their way into New Zealand's pop charts (and often its venues) as early as 1979.

The following year, the full fruit of the UK's post-punk explosion came to bear on NZ's popular musical consciousness as punk's iconoclastic energy and imagination inhabited wave after wave of new music.

The Jed Town and Mike Brookfield designed sleeve for Propeller's first release, The Features Perfect EP, June 1980

The mod revival, ska, power pop, the beginnings of electronica, moody English avant rock, reggae and dub, amped up soul, rockabilly, white boy funk, the new psychedelia, synth pop, American and British hardcore punk, the Dada-like absurdities of Devo and Flying Lizards, heavy metal and hard rock, New Romantics and the Burundi beat (with its echo of glam) all helped stimulate and build a new audience for a new era.

Although the much-maligned music scene of the late 1960s and the early 1970s was, at least in the minds of critics and young fans, a caricature of bloated indulgence and exhausted ideas, it too would have a say.

The dangerous and transgressive musical undertow of psych-folk, cracked blues, krautrock, Latin grooves, free jazz, outlaw country, reggae and dub, Bowie, Iggy Pop, and the still sparking remains of The Velvet Underground would be drawn on for inspiration in the post-punk era.

That's why so many older musicians and scene participants (arguably more of the 1960s generation) found a niche and audience there.

The same reductive lens meant the definition of post-punk music was itself quickly rendered down to indicate an exclusive, angular, fractured and often political sound, mostly born in the north of England and released on independent labels.

It is more correctly a term referring to the reinterpretation, reinvigoration and reordering of existing musical forms, elites and methods of production in the wake of punk.

New Zealand could barely contain the outpouring of creative energy unleashed by punk.

The possibilities introduced by this sea change were as rife as the stimuli were varied and the mother lode of art and inspiration provoked a response of similar weight and (mis)proportion.

In 1980 and 1981, over 38 post-punk singles and EPs made the Top 50, the majority on small NZ indie labels.

Not before or since have as many New Zealand groups been in the pop charts in a single year.

That's in addition to the smaller (but no less interesting) indie efforts that didn't make the charts.

Albums were still largely beyond small local label budgets.

This is the cultural climate with which Auckland indie Propeller Records engaged in Auckland and New Zealand from early 1980 to 1983.

Simon Grigg was a first generation Auckland punk – in 1977 he formed and then managed the Suburban Reptiles (until 1978).

After a spell in record retail and six months in Sydney he was back running the Taste Records store in Auckland's High Street and flatting with James Pinker, the drummer of hot post-punkers The Features.

Aware that they had a following and a strong flow of songs, he advised them to try and get a record deal.

They did that and were turned down by every major label.

Grigg then offered to form a label to release The Features, borrowing $400 from his flatmate (and Pinker's girlfriend) Nancy Tidball.

With one band in hand, he was then offered another.

The Spelling Mistakes were managed by Larry Young, Grigg's brother-in-law and also the booker of The Windsor Castle in Parnell.

The two concocted a (successful) plan for the band to take the first prize in The Windsor Castle's Battle of the Bands – a day's recording at Mascot Studios – and Propeller found itself with two bands.

Over the next few months, drawing initially on the remnants of Auckland's punk generation – The Features, The Marching Girls, The Spelling Mistakes and The Techtones – Propeller took the adventurous end of the post-punk sound ('City Scenes') and highly infectious pop-punk/power pop ('First In Line', 'Feel So Good' and 'That Girl') into the charts and local record collections in 1980.

The Features' 'City Scenes' and The Spelling Mistakes' 'Feel So Good' each sold in excess of 1,000 copies on release.

When The Features returned at year's end with the 12-inch EP Perfect Featured Exposed (anchored by jarring dissonant masterstroke, 'Victim'), the benchmark for the NZ post-punk era was set.

Art, energy and adventure were the new norms.

By year's end, Auckland had a robust live circuit hosting the new wave of post-punk groups.

All ages venue XS Café opened in May 1980 (and closed in April 1981).

The Rumba Bar in Victoria Street east opened in September 1980.

The Reverb Room in Symonds Street opened in October 1980 in the old Liberty Stage.

Mainstreet Cabaret was also warming to the new sounds and would be another vital showcase for the new groups that Propeller Records would release.

That's in addition to the many lesser-lived venues of the time.

Important live rooms in provincial cities were also opening to fresh sounds.

Gathering up the early recordings of Auckland's best new groups (and Christchurch's The Newtones) in late 1980, Grigg released the Class of '81 compilation in March 1981.

With Propeller now distributed by Festival Records after early days with indie Ode Records, it would prove a landmark release.

From the crop of mod-revival inspired bands (The Jam were a popular group in NZ and the movie adaptation of The Who's Quadrophenia played in cinemas from June 1980), he drew The Ainsworths, The Regulators, The Moderns and The Screaming Meemees.

With a shared single (with The Newmatics) already available on Auckland's other new indie, Ripper Records, and a performing history dating to late 1979, The Screaming Meemees were one of the first of the new North Shore groups to make a noise in the Queen city.

Their Class of '81 contribution 'All Dressed Up' was a sharp piece of strutting 1960s pop with words that celebrated street fashion and restless urban nights.

The Screaming Meemees single would not see release until July and the second Techtones single remains unreleased.

In April 1981 Grigg took over as manager of The Screaming Meemees and took on Newmatics' manager Paul Rose as a partner in the label, to help administer the growing label-related activity that would include the groundbreaking Screaming Blam-matic Roadshow, which would establish the label as a national force.

The Screaming Meemees next shot was the irresistible, head down 'See Me Go' with the stomping, anthemic 'Till I Die' on the B-side, which retooled Catholic hymns with ringing guitar and strident beats, and hit the top of the charts in August 1981.

'See Me Go' sold 4,000 copies in one week and was then deleted.

Third single 'Sunday Boys' was even better, revealing a neat Kinks-ish lyrical eye – "See them, see them in the Strand, at least the places they used to stand" – and an infectious 1960s strum and chorus.

Flip it over and you got the wild and tribal 'At At' which hinted at the Meemees powerful live attack.

'Sunday Boys' climbed to No.11 in the pop charts in December 1981.

That made three hit singles in one year, all in neat modern picture sleeves.

Class of '81's art rock (post-punk) contingent – Youth For A Price, Rebel Truce, The Bombers and Blam Blam Blam – presented another strand of new intent.

Quirky one offs aside, it was the Blams who endured.

Their self-titled EP Blam Blam Blam confronted the stultifying norm and introduced the trio to the pop charts in May 1981, where it consolidated a new template for post-punk releases – the 12-inch EP in unique picture sleeve.

The Features' second record had been released in this format in late 1980 and The Screaming Meemees' upcoming 'See Me Go' also appeared as a limited run 12-inch EP.

It was released in March 1981 and then reissued in early 1982 with the There Is No Depression In NZ single added.

Blam Blam Blam's eerie channelling of the wider times, 'There Is No Depression in New Zealand', captured in July 1981, made the Top 20 in August.

The follow-up, 'Don't Fight It Marsha, It's Bigger Than Both Of Us', made No.17 in December.

Three more hit records in one year, all in modern picture sleeves.

The third gem in Propeller's pocket was The Newmatics.

'Five Miseries', their Class of '81 track, referenced reggae, but it was just one ingredient in a popular, danceable mix.

The Newmatics duly signed to Propeller's associate label, Furtive Records, who released their Top 20 hit, Broadcast O.R. on a double 7-inch single in October 1981.

The label would also release the debut 12-inch single by Tall Dwarfs, charting it in August 1981 as the first of the TEAC 4-track recordings that would later define early Flying Nun.

Other Class of '81 groups in this vein were The Moderns and Rhythm Method, whose giddy 'Carousel' was another LP highpoint.

As The Bongos, the core of Rhythm Method released the spiralling 'Falling'/'Monotony' on Propeller Records in November 1982.

There were also one-offs like Garage Crawlers' 'Only You Tonight', backed with the parallel grooved 'V8 Song' and 'Normal Dunediner' that fooled some reviewers into thinking they'd been short changed.

The Birthday Party single, with a NZ exclusive non-LP B-side, was exported in some numbers to the UK.

In October 1981, Propeller picked up the debut from Melbourne's The Birthday Party, Prayers On Fire.

They followed it up with the even more challenging Junkyard in November 1982.

Neither album sold well, although The Birthday Party single 'Nick The Stripper', with an unique song on it, exported in the thousands.

New groups like The Dabs (with The Ainsworths' Rowan Shedden) formed in Auckland in 1981 and were picked up for release by Propeller Records in 1982.

A popular live draw, The Dabs had a strong 1960s style and a brace of memorable originals, including 'Love The Army' and 'Remember When', which featured on their Top 40, September 1982 EP, Love The Army.

In late 1981 and through 1982, The Screaming Meemees and Blam Blam Blam could be seen and heard on the pulsing Auckland and the New Zealand live circuit, cementing their national following.

Their records were just as restless in gathering up the new ideas flowing through the charts.

Blam Blam Blam's 'Call For Help' skimmed the charts in June 1982 before spinning off into the stratosphere.

The Screaming Meemees' non-charting fourth single 'F Is For Fear' from July 1982 is a timeless dance floor classic with horn section, bass breakdown and boy/girl vocals from Tony Drumm and The Gurlz's Kim Willoughby.

Both songs were plucked from adventurous debut hit albums – Blam Blam Blam's Luxury Length in June 1982 and The Screaming Meemees' If This Is Paradise, I'll Take The Bag in July 1982.

The Screaming Meemees album was released through Festival in Australia in late 1982 and an extended Blam Blam Blam EP (adding 'There Is No Depression In New Zealand' and 'Got To Be Guilty') was made available there and in NZ in March 1982.

Drawing on another rising subculture – punk rock's revival in the UK – No Tag unleashed the powerful Oi Oi Oi EP, another Top 20 hit for Propeller in September.

No Tag's only album Can We Get Away With It?, recorded live in Auckland's Reverb Room, just grazed the charts in April 1983.

The original artwork was sadly stolen from the Festival Records office and remains lost.

Label retrospective Doobie Do Disc appeared in November, bringing Propeller's early releases and two unreleased songs from The Features into the light again.

An EP under the same name, but with an altered track listing was compiled and released in Australia by Festival Records.

The Auckland indie label saw out their third year with Don McGlashan and Ivan Zagni's avant garde Standards EP, which sold well.

To cap it off, Simon Grigg won a special award for commitment to the recording and promotion of local artists at 1982's recording industry awards.

With The Screaming Meemees and The Dabs popular draws on the national live circuit, Propeller groups didn't lack for work or profile in 1983.

But it seemed some of the hunger for the new sounds was abating.

Early week live shows – a feature of the new wave revival in Christchurch and Auckland – were gone by October 1982, with key venues closing down in 1983.

The Reverb Room closed in February and The Rumba Bar in July.

Miltown Stowaways' Hired Togs 12-inch EP, which brought together members of Blue Asthmatics, Pleasure Boys and The Newmatics, appeared in January 1983.

Propeller Records and New Zealand's first extended remix, The Screaming Meemees' big selling soul-funk blast 'Stars In My Eyes' backed with 'Day Goes By', climbed into the Top 20 in February.

In marked contrast, Export Lamb's 'Someone To Blame' sold only 43 copies in March 1983.

When Propeller's second new artist compilation We'll Do Our Best emerged in March, it showcased a scene with plenty of juice and drive and innovation left in it.

Dub and reggae had been important Auckland sounds since the 1970s, and the innovation of dub and relaxed reggae rhythms coupled with political lyrics were well represented by Diatribe, Double Man and Compulsory Allies.

The new teen and post-teen pop heralded by The Screaming Meemees got a nod with The Wastrels' poignant 'Angels in Silence'.

But it was the new electronic pop and dance sounds of Car Crash Set, Terror of Tinytown and Ballare that held the most promise.

Some of which would be fulfilled, but on other labels.

The cost of The Screaming Meemees and Blam Blam Blam LPs hadn't been cleared by sales and despite the community rallying with benefit shows in August 1983, Propeller's days were numbered.

Having bought out partner Paul Rose and selling a small share to Marcus Wells (to administer the label), Simon Grigg joined the post-punk diaspora to Australia and England, and the label quickly faded from view.

Promised live and studio discs from The Newmatics and a live Meemees EP didn't appear and other projects were picked up elsewhere.

Simon Grigg reactivated Propeller Records on returning to New Zealand in 1985 for Sistermatic's 'Million Dollar'.

The new group, which featured the rump of The Newmatics and vocalist Sina Siapia, hit stormy water immediately over the song's lyrics, which mentioned a current legal scandal.

'Million Dollar' was quickly pulled by its distributor.

1983 press release for the only single from Export Lamb, a band featuring former members of Blam Blam Blam and The Prime Movers.

An eponymous single by Jam This Record (actually Body Electric's Alan Jansson, The Features' James Pinker, Car Crash Set's David Bulog and Grigg himself) sold poorly in New Zealand but found club success in the UK, where over 1,000 were sold in 1988.

Grigg had more domestic luck with his well constructed and annotated label and era retrospectives It's Bigger Than The Both Of Us (1988), The Screaming Meemees' Stars In My Eyes (1992), The Complete Blam Blam Blam (1992) and the expanded reissue of AK79 (1993), which added vital singles and album tracks to the landmark punk collection.

With much of the Propeller Records catalogue now available online, New Zealand's most important indie label of the early 1980s lives on, a constant reminder of those vital early years in New Zealand's musical resurgence when respect for difference and innovation set new standards and offered new paths.

The Bongos double A-side single Falling / Monotony, released in November 1982.

The Bongos grew out of the earlier Rhythm Method who appeared on the 1981 Class Of 81 album.

The first rock'n'roll hit by a New Zealander was Johnny Devlin's hit "Lawdy Miss Clawdy", which sold 100,000 copies in 1959–60. Rock developed in New Zealand in the 1960s. Prominent bands included The La De Das, Ray Columbus & The Invaders, and The Fourmyula.
 By the late 1970s, some New Zealand rock bands were finding national success, including Th' Dudes (whose guitarist Dave Dobbyn formed DD Smash in the 1980s), Dragon, Hello Sailor and Split Enz, fronted by Tim Finn, and later, his brother Neil Finn, who went on to form Crowded House. Independent music in New Zealand began in the latter half of the 1970s, with the development of a local punk rock scene. In the 1980s several independent labels like Propeller Records in Auckland and the Flying Nun record label in Christchurch were established and became influential in the development of modern New Zealand rock music. The Clean from Dunedin was the first major band to emerge from the Flying Nun roster. Most of the first wave of the musicians and bands signed to Flying Nun originated from Dunedin and Christchurch, and helped to develop the Dunedin sound.


The resulting controversy highlighted the fact that Ms. Smith Edge, chairwoman of the committee charged with developing the GMO policy, is a senior vice president at the International Food Information Council, which is largely financed by food, beverage and agriculture businesses, including companies like DuPont, Bayer CropScience and Cargill, companies that were among the biggest financial opponents of a State of California GMO labeling initiative.

(meta data) TITLE: Will Monsanto Ties Influence Nutritionists' Stance on GMOs? – Mother Jones

# Will Monsanto Ties Influence Nutritionists' Stance on GMOs?

The GMO seed giant Monsanto recently flexed its muscles in Congress, working with a senator to sneak a friendly rider into an unrelated funding bill.

Now it appears to be having its way with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

As the New York Times reports, a dietician who'd been working on crafting the group's GMO policy claims she was pushed aside for pointing out her colleagues' links to Monsanto.

The controversy started during last fall's highly contested battle over a ballot initiative that would have required labeling genetically modified food in California.

The prestigious dieticians' group was incorrectly listed by the official state voters' guide as one of the scientific organizations that had "concluded biotech foods are safe."

Actually, the AND had taken no position on the issue, but it promised to come out with a position paper on it.

(The ballot initiative ultimately failed.)

As part of the process of generating a position paper, the group appointed seven members to what it called the Advanced Technologies in Food Production working group.

Two of the members, it turned out, had ties to Monsanto.

One was a "dietitian who operates a farm in Maryland, [who] won a $5,000 prize from Monsanto and is a test farmer for the company," the Times reports.

The other serves as senior vice president of the International Food Information Council, a group whose funders read like a roster of Big Ag and junk-food corporations, ranging from Monsanto, Bayer Cropscience, and Cargill to Coca Cola, Red Bull, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group.

Several of the International Food Information Council's donor companies also contributed heavily to the $45.6 million effort to defeat California's GMO ballot initiative.

One panel member, Carole Bartolotto, a dietician for Kaiser Permanante, had the temerity to point out her colleagues' potential conflicts of interest to the academy's leadership.

Bartolotto found herself purged from the committee, while the two Monsanto-connected panel members maintained their positions.

Bartolotto had written a blog post in favor of California's GMO labeling initiative, but that wasn't the reason cited for her sacking.

Rather, the academy pointed to her failure to reveal a consulting practice she'd listed on her blog.

According to Bartolotto, that's flimsy reasoning, because her "consulting practice" is purely theoretical.

"I didn't list it because I didn't think it was an issue at all," she told the Times.

"I created the link because at some point, I think it would be nice to have a consulting business, but right now, I work full time and don't have time to have one."

Meanwhile, the Times reports, the academy has hired a vocal opponent of California's labeling initiative to write its GMO position paper: Christine M. Bruhn, a professor at UC Davis' Food, Science and Technology program.

And the whole flap over the Advanced Technologies in Food Production work group is apparently purely academic: Bruhn will write the final report even before the working group finishes reviewing the literature.

To summarize, at the nation's most prestigious dieticians' group, failure to disclose a non-existing consulting business is enough to get you bounced from making policy on GMOs, but ties to the GMO industry aren't.

It remains to be seen what position the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics GMO paper will take, but this is shaping up to be another victory for Monsanto.

Controversy.:Criticism of partnerships with food companies.

A 1995 report, noted the Academy received funding from companies like McDonald's, PepsiCo, The Coca-Cola Company, Sara Lee, Abbott Nutrition, General Mills, Kellogg's, Mars, McNeil Nutritionals, SOYJOY, Truvia, Unilever, and The Sugar Association as corporate sponsorship. The Academy also partners with ConAgra Foods, which produces Orville Redenbacker, Slim Jims, Hunt's Ketchup, SnackPacks, and Hebrew National hot dogs, to maintain the American Dietetic Association/ConAgra Foods Home Food Safety...It's in Your Hands program. Additionally, the Academy earns revenue from corporations by selling space at its booth during conventions, doing this for soft drinks and candy makers.
 In April 2013, a dietitian working on a panel charged with setting policy on genetically modified foods for the academy contended she was removed for pointing out that two of its members had ties to Monsanto, one of the biggest makers of genetically modified seeds.


The venue has hosted professional boxing matches for circuits such as Golden Boy Promotions and Premier Boxing Champions.

# Staples Center: 10 years of boxing and counting

Shane Mosley-Sergio Mora will be the 19th major boxing card to take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES – Oscar De La Hoya and Shane Mosley officially christened Staples Center as a boxing venue 10 years ago.

Since then, the downtown L.A. arena – home of the NBA's Lakers and NHL's Kings – has played host to about an average of two major fight cards every year.

The Mosley-Sergio Mora card on Saturday night is the 19th major boxing show at Staples.

"There are a lot of famous boxing venues in the United States," said Dan Beckerman, Executive Vice President & CFO of AEG.

"Madison Square Garden and obviously Las Vegas, the Grand Garden Arena [at the MGM], are good examples.

I know we're not going to get every major fight.

Some certainly belong in Las Vegas and certain East Coast fights probably belong at Madison Square Garden.

"We like to be seen as a major fight destination, too.

A lot of great fights belong at Staples Center, like the one on Saturday.

AEG and promoters have had their greatest success when they've showcased established fighters who have large fan bases in the region.

De La Hoya and Mosley, both stars from the Los Angeles area, fit the mold perfectly.

The innaugural card drew 18,894 fans, the second-biggest boxing crowd at the arena.

Another example was Mosley-Antonio Margarito, which pitted a well-known commodity against a hot fighter with a huge fan base in the area's large Latino community.

That fight drew 20,820, the largest crowd for any event in the building's history.

And, of course, Mosley-Mora also follows the formula.

Mora isn't a marquee fighter but is from East Los Angeles, not far from where De La Hoya grew up.

"Mosley-Margarito was the perfect Los Angeles fight and it sold the building out," Beckerman said.

"It was the biggest crowd in Staples Center history, not just for a boxing event but for the Lakers or anybody.

It was an unbelievable night for a lot of different reasons and spectacular fight."

AEG, which owns and operates Staples Center, also hosts fight cards at two other venues on its L.A. LIVE campus – Nokia Theater and Club Nokia.

The theater has hosted occasional fights while Golden Boy Promotions stages its monthly Fight Night Club series at the smaller nightclub.

Thus, downtown L.A. has become a hub for the sport.

"Whatever the fight is – for upcoming, emerging fighters to the superstars of the sport – we can have 2,000 seats up to 20,000 seats and everything in between.

We're always going to be passionate about boxing."

The high-flying hip-hop producer Swizz Beatz released "Pistol On My Side," a boisterous collaboration with Lil Wayne, on Friday.

The track will appear on Swizz Beatz's upcoming solo album, Poison, his first full-length since 2007.

"Pistol on My Side" opens with an ostentatious orchestral passage, as if it's the theme to a James Bond movie.

Then a crooked piano lick and fierce drum-bursts sweep away the pomp.

Lil Wayne raps with his characteristic tongue-twisting charm; Swizz Beatz adds energy-raising ad-libs.

In the video for the song, Lil Wayne swigs from a canister of gasoline, pours it all over a piano, and lights the instrument on fire.

At the end of the clip, Alicia Keys — who is married to Swizz Beatz — shows up and begins playing the burning piano

Her keyboard riffs bring "Pistol on My Side" to a somber close.

Swizz Beatz has been producing world-beating hits for two decades, His discography includes DMX's "Ruff Ryders' Anthem," T.I.'s "Bring Em Out" and Beyonce's "Ring the Alarm," among many, many others.

Due to his busy schedule working with others, Swizz Beatz's solo career has been less prolific.

(meta data) TITLE: Martin Van Buren: Life in Brief | Miller Center

Martin Van Buren said that the two happiest days of his life were his entrance into the office of President and his surrender of the office.

While his political opponents were glad to see him go—they nicknamed him "Martin Van Ruin"—many Americans were not.

Even though he lost the 1840 presidential election, Van Buren received 40,000 more votes than he had in his 1836 victory.

In subsequent years, historians have come to regard Van Buren as integral to the development of the American political system.

Van Buren was the first President not born a British subject, or even of British ancestry.

The Van Burens were a large, struggling family of Dutch descent.

Martin's father, Abraham Van Buren—a supporter of Thomas Jefferson in a region populated by supporters of Jefferson's opponents, the Federalists—ran a tavern where politicians often gathered as they traveled between New York City and Albany.

This environment gave young Martin a taste for politics.

Though the Van Burens could not afford to send Martin to college, he managed to get a job as a clerk in a law office where he began studying law independently.

After he became a lawyer, Van Buren joined the Democratic-Republicans and began his political career, as a minor county official.

Immediately, Van Buren began showing the qualities that would eventually take him to the pinnacle of American politics—and earn him a bevy of admirers as well as critics.

Unfailingly polite and thoroughly shrewd, Van Buren proved an adept politician, negotiating the fractious political environment of New York state's Democratic-Republican party.

As a New York politician, he set about building a political organization of his fellow Democratic-Republicans that stressed unity, loyalty, and fealty to Jeffersonian political principles.

Gradually, Van Buren moved from the New York State Senate, to the New York attorney general's office, and then to the U.S. Senate.

Unhappy with the politics and policies of President John Quincy Adams, Van Buren aligned himself instead with Andrew Jackson, the immensely popular war hero who wanted a return to the Jeffersonian policies of minimalist government.

In Washington, he continued his political party-building efforts, but on a national scale.

When Jackson became President, he named Van Buren secretary of state, in recognition of the New Yorker's political acumen and his service during the 1828 election.

From this position, Van Buren oversaw the nation's foreign affairs.

But his time in Washington was also spent cultivating political relationships and allies.

Van Buren continued to build the political organization that would become the Democratic Party.

Just as important, Van Buren quickly became one of Jackson's trusted advisers and friends, even though the two men's political views were not always perfectly in synch.

Van Buren also skillfully navigated the tempestuous in-fighting that marked Jackson's cabinet, where Vice President John Calhoun proved more an adversary than ally of the President.

Toward the end of his first term, Jackson dismissed much of his cabinet, cut his relations with Vice President Calhoun, and dispatched Van Buren to the political calm of London as U.S. minister to England.

During Jackson's second term, Van Buren served as vice president.

Van Buren won the presidential election of 1836 by promising to carry on the policies of Andrew Jackson.

Unfortunately, Van Buren took office as the booming U.S. economy of the early and mid-1830s began to slow down.

The so-called "Panic of 1837" was followed by the worst depression yet faced by the young nation.

These economic troubles quickly became President Van Buren's main concern.

Van Buren's response to the crisis revealed his belief in the principles of a limited federal government, defense of states rights, and protection of the "people" from the "powerful."

Thus, Van Buren rejected his Whig opposition's suggestion that he support a National Bank, which the Whigs believed could oversee and stabilize the nation's economy.

Instead, the President blamed the depression on powerful monied interests at home and abroad, and proposed that the federal government deposit its funds in an independent treasury, rather than in state banks,

While Van Buren and Congress argued about the merits of the independent treasury—which Congress finally authorized in the summer of 1840—the nation's economic troubles continued.

Van Buren confronted several other potentially divisive issues while President.

He managed to quiet talk of annexing Texas by steadfastly announcing his opposition to such a move.

His main foreign policy concerns were the growing tensions between the United States and Great Britain over the border between the United States and Canada.

Van Buren ignored calls from some Americans to respond to Canadian and British provocations with force, working instead successfully through diplomatic channels to calm tensions in the region.

Van Buren's measured approach to the northern border problems, however, only earned him the enmity of those who urged a more aggressive response.

Martin Van Buren's wife, Hannah, died twelve years after their marriage, leaving him a widower with four sons to raise by himself.

Though Van Buren never remarried, his eldest son's wife, Angelica Singleton Van Buren, served as official White House hostess during the last two years of his presidency.

His sons, moreover, emerged as some of his father's most important aides and advisers; Abraham and Martin Jr. served as personal secretaries to their father when he was President.

Facing criticism at home for both the economic depression and his handling of foreign affairs, Van Buren's re-election chances suffered even more in the face of an inspired campaign offered by the Whigs and their candidate, William Henry Harrison.

In only four years, the Whig party had matched the savvy and organization of the Democrats—if not their sheer numbers and ideological unity.

The Whigs portrayed Harrison as the rough and tumble "Log Cabin and Hard Cider" candidate and ridiculed Van Buren as fussy, aristocratic, and unmanly.

There was little truth in these images—in reality, it was Van Buren who came from a modest background, while Harrison was from a ruling-class Virginia family—but the charges, coupled with dissatisfaction over Van Buren's governance, proved too much for the sitting President to overcome.

Van Buren lost the election, failing even to carry his home state of New York.

Martin Van Buren served only one term as President, and those four years were marked as much by failure and criticism as by success and popular acclaim.

Van Buren's troubled presidency, though, should not overshadow his significant contributions to American political development.

Van Buren played key roles in the creation of both the Democratic Party and the so-called "second party system" in which Democrats competed with their opponents, the Whigs.

In these ways, Van Buren left an indelible mark on American politics.

Martin Van Buren, the eighth President of the United States, was the son of Abraham Van Buren (1737–1817) and Maria Hoes (or Goes) Van Alen (1747–1818). Van Buren married Hannah Hoes, his childhood sweetheart and a daughter of his first cousin, on February 21, 1807, in Catskill, New York.

History.:19th century transport and power plays.

The 19th century roused Walham Green village, and the surrounding hamlets that made up the parish of Fulham, from their rural slumber and market gardens with the advent first of power production and then more hesitant transport development. This was accompanied by accelerating urbanisation, as in other centres in the county of Middlesex, which encouraged trade skills among the growing population. In 1824 the Imperial Gas Light and Coke Company, the first public utility company in the world, bought the Sandford estate in Sands End to produce gas for lighting - and in the case of the Hurlingham Club, for ballooning. Its ornately decorated number 2 gasholder is Georgian, completed in 1830 and reputed to be the oldest gasholder in the World. In connection with gas property portfolios, in 1843 the newly formed Westminster Cemetery Company had trouble persuading the Equitable gas people (a future Imperial take-over) to sell them a small portion of land to gain southern access, onto the Fulham Road, from their recently laid out Brompton Cemetery, over the parish border in Chelsea. The sale was finally achieved through the intervention of cemetery shareholder and Fulham resident, John Gunter. Meanwhile, another group of local landowners, led by Lord Kensington with Sir John Scott Lillie and others had conceived, in 1822, the idea of exploiting the water course up-river from Chelsea Creek on their land by turning it into a two-mile canal. It was to have a basin, a lock and wharves, to be known as the Kensington Canal, and link the Grand Union Canal with the Thames.

## Govt decides to hold provincial, parliamentary polls in two phases

Published: August 30, 2017 2:07 pm On: Nepal

The government has decided to hold the Provincial Assembly and House of Representatives elections in two rounds.

Minister Basnet said, "The meeting has also decided to set up National Natural Resources and Fiscal Commission for which the Constitutional Council will make recommendation."

The meeting also decided to accept loan grant assistance worth more than Rs 15 billion from the Asian Development for customs sector reform and modernisation.

Discussion was held on scrapping the vacancies for the post of Senior Superintendents of Police (SSP) and creating a new vacancy for Deputy Inspector General of Police, according to Minister Basnet.

Similarly, other decisions made in the meeting include promotion of Brigadier General of Nepal Army Rajendra Karki to the post of Major General.

Cornelius Johannes "Corrie" Sanders (7 January 1966 – 23 September 2012) was a South African professional boxer who competed from 1989 to 2008.

"When they f--- with me," Jackie DiNorscio says, "they wake a sleeping giant."

Actually, it's more like they bring his inner standup comedian to his feet.

DiNorscio is the wild card in the longest trial in American history, a 21-month extravaganza aimed at the Lucchese crime family of New Jersey.

There are 20 defendants and they all have defense attorneys except Jackie, who represents himself.

His participation makes the trial curiously similar to Mystery Science Theater 3000, with dopey characters marching through profundities while Jackie cracks jokes.

Jackie is played by Vin Diesel, something I didn't know going in.

It took a while to see through the makeup to Diesel, playing a paunchy goombah who is already serving a 30-year sentence when the trial begins.

He's offered a deal: Testify against his fellow villains, and get a reduction in his sentence.

He even forgives a cousin who pumps four bullets into him.

When the cops ask him to name the shooter, he intones, "My eyes were shut the whole time."

Diesel is a good choice for this role, bringing it sincerity without nobility.

The movie was directed by a man who knows all about courtroom drama.

Sidney Lumet directed "12 Angry Men," which takes place almost entirely within a jury room, and there are vivid scenes of testimony in his "Serpico" and "The Verdict."

What's different this time is that the battle between good and evil is murky.

Yes, the defendants are killers, thieves, extortionists, drug dealers, pimps and otherwise ill-behaved.

But against their predations the movie sets Jackie DiNorscio, who says he is "not a gangster but a gagster," and pisses off the prosecution, the defense, the judge, and his fellow defendants.

"They say a laughing jury is not a hanging jury," says Ben Klandis (Peter Dinklage), the brains of the defense team.

He sits next to Jackie in court and occasionally whispers advice.

He is loyal to mobsters who ordered him to be whacked.

He spends less time defending himself than in offering a running commentary on the judicial system.

"How did you know they were Italians?" he asks an FBI witness, who says he saw defendants paying homage to crime boss Nick Calabrese (Alex Rocco).

The witness babbles about how they waved their hands and had black hair and sounded like they were talking Italian.

Jackie cuts him to shreds, exposing at the same time the tendency of lawmen to describe what they saw as if they were objective observers without preconceptions.

The FBI agent should have replied: "I knew they were Italians because I've been on this case for years and I knew every one of them by name."

Jackie's moral position is hard to define.

He seems to value friendship and loyalty above all, and to disregard such imperfections as murder.

He is loyal to Calabrese even after the mobster tells him, "If you mention my name in this courtroom one more time, I will cut your heart out."

The movie's title comes from his closing statement, in which he tells the jury he's already serving 30 years and has nothing to lose: "Find me guilty," he says, but let off his friends.

But he is the underdog in a system that offends common sense with its ponderous slog through legal quicksand.

A defense attorney who needs five days to summarize his argument doesn't have one.

Subtitles remind us how many days the trial has lasted; they climb above 500.

A defendant has a heart attack, is brought into court on a bed, falls out of the bed.

The chief prosecutor, Sean Kierney (Linus Roache) doesn't like to be laughed at, and retaliates by taking away the prized Barcalounger in Jackie's jail cell.

The judge (Ron Silver) would cut Jackie loose from the case, except that might lead to a mistrial.

If the movie lacks a battle between good and evil, it also lacks drama.

The outcome of the trial seems to be a foregone conclusion.

There is an electric conversation between Jackie and his former wife Bella (Annabella Sciorra) that makes it perfectly clear why they drove each other crazy, and also why they got married in the first place.

The defense attorneys are presented in montages of gaseous idiocies, except for Klandis, the Dinklage character, who stands apart as a man concise, articulate and professional.

A court officer wheels forward a podium on a staircase, which he climbs to face the jury.

Without one word being spoken, Klandis transforms this podium from a compensation for his height into an acknowledgement of his stature.

He stands above the others with or without the stairs.

This movie by its nature is not thrilling, but it is very genuinely interesting, and that is rare.

It's not even really about a particular trial, but about a Kafkaesque system that can only work if there are no Jackies to point out its absurdities.

We in the audience are left without cheering rights.

Since the defendants (except for the cousin) are not actually seen doing anything evil, we don't yearn for their conviction.

But surely they cannot be found innocent.

The trial comes down to: Can Jackie get away with his act?

Good and evil seem stuck on the same treadmill, and we are invited to focus on a contest between drones and a wise guy.

You'd be surprised how entertaining that can be.

Michael Bradley, Jozy Altidore and Toronto FC got some MLS Cup revenge on the Sounders, defeating them 1-0 at CenturyLink Field on Saturday.

The loss snapped a 14-game unbeaten streak at home for the Sounders

There were some similarities between last year's MLS Cup final and the rematch the defending champion Sounders played Saturday at home against Toronto FC.

For one, the day's lone tally came via a penalty kick in which Roman Torres played a key role.

Also, another left-handed stop was made by Sounders keeper Stefan Frei off Toronto striker Jozy Altidore to give his team a fighting chance.

Apart from that, though, the Sounders didn't do enough to keep their 14-game unbeaten streak at home from ending in a 1-0 defeat to last year's finalists on a rather lackluster afternoon.

"I think overall there's a lot of frustration in that locker room,'' Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer said afterward.

"We're tired of the same storyline of extended possession and getting a bunch of chances.

That storyline is growing old very fast.''

Indeed, the Sounders again controlled the ball more than 63 percent of the time and had a dozen shots — eight of them from inside the 18-yard box.

But to the mounting frustration of 41,468 fans at CenturyLink Field, they again struggled to finish.

The only time they found the back of the net came in the sixth minute, when Jordan Morris headed a ball in behind Toronto keeper Clint Irwin after a Cristian Roldan free kick.

Alas, the play was ruled offside because Gustav Svensson had broken in behind the defenders early, causing a distraction and impacting the play despite never touching the ball.

The Sounders' players went ballistic in protesting, as did the incensed crowd.

"The linesman was correct, his decision was correct,'' Schmetzer said.

"Gustav made a play for the ball and he froze the goalkeeper.

But on a team held scoreless at home the first 75 minutes last weekend before salvaging a miracle draw, any goals denied aren't helping the frustration level.

The Sounders (2-3-4) have fallen behind in all but two games and wind up having to push players forward while opponents capitalize on counterattacks.

Toronto (5-1-4) entered this finals rematch minus key offensive stars Sebastian Giovinco and Victor Vazquez, as well as center back Eriq Zavaleta.

But it grabbed the lead in the 23rd minute when Torres — whose goal in the MLS Cup penalty-kick round clinched the championship last December — barreled over Toronto striker Altidore in the box.

Altidore was awarded the penalty kick and cleanly beat Frei to his left after the keeper dove right.

It was a measure of revenge for Altidore, stopped from in close by Frei's iconic hand save in extra time to keep December's championship scoreless.

Much like that stop, Frei on Saturday got his left hand on a 40th minute drive by Altidore and also deflected it over the crossbar to keep things 1-0 entering the half.

But unlike last year's title match when the Sounders retreated into a defensive shell, this time it was the Reds doing the same once provided the lead.

They dropped players back throughout a chippy-looking second half and limited the Sounders to a handful of chances.

"They got their one PK goal and then they put nine or 10 behind the ball the rest of the game,'' Sounders striker Will Bruin said.

"You know, when there's a mass of people in the box, it's tough to find things.''

Bruin said he was man-marked all day by Toronto defender Jason Hernandez, who kept "hugging'' him whenever he entered the box.

As a result, Bruin had arguably his quietest day yet for a Sounders attack needing more noise.

"I think we've got to have possession with purpose,'' Bruin said.

"I think sometimes possession is good and we're slinging it around.

But when we go, we've got to go with conviction.

Frei had warned heading in that his team had to focus on present goals and not get caught up in MLS Cup rematch hype.

He insisted afterward the team continues to show signs of regaining a championship level, except for the whole finishing part.

"We need to keep working hard,'' Frei said.

We've shown that in our darkest moments last year, we could keep working hard in the belief good things would start to come around.''

And with two more road games upcoming, they'll need to show that resolve again.

The MLS Cup is the post-season championship of Major League Soccer (MLS), a professional club soccer league in the United States and Canada. The 2017 season was the 22nd in MLS history, and was contested by 22 teams in two conferences in the east and west. Each club played 34 matches during the regular season from March to October, facing each team in the same conference at least twice and teams in the other conference at least once. The playoffs, running from October to December, were contested between the top six clubs in each conference and included four rounds: a one-match knockout round for the lowest-seeded teams, two rounds of home-and-away series, and the one-match final.
 The two finalists, Toronto and Seattle, faced each other in the 2016 cup, which was won by Seattle in a penalty shootout. It was the third in league history to feature a rematch of the previous year, the other two being the 2006 and 2007 wins by Houston Dynamo and the 2011 and 2012 wins by LA Galaxy. The 2017 cup was also the first to see both of the higher-seeded sides advance from the conference finals since it was changed to a home-and-away series, in 2012.


He left Southampton in 2004, but not before joining Liverpool on loan during a goalkeeping injury crisis, thus becoming the club's oldest post-war debutant.

Paul Jones became the oldest player to make his debut for Liverpool since World War II, 36 years, 8 months and 23 days old when he played against Aston Villa at Anfield in January 2004.

An experienced Premiership goalkeeper, Gerard Houllier brought him in on loan because of injuries to Jerzy Dudek and Chris Kirkland.

With Patrice Luzi not considered experienced enough, Jones played two games.

A much travelled stopper, he was a reliable goalkeeper and on his 50th cap for Wales, he got the number 50 shaved into his head.

Born in Chirk near Wrexham, Jones started his career at Bridgnorth Town, joining Kidderminster Harriers in 1986 and then moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fee of £60,000 in 1991. He only managed to play 44 games before moving on to Stockport County in 1996 where he was ever present in the 1996–97 season.
 When Stockport County manager Dave Jones joined Southampton as manager, he signed Jones. He won Southampton player of the season in 1998 and earned a call up to Wales and became the number one goalkeeper. He played for Southampton in the 2003 FA Cup final against Arsenal (which was lost 1–0) coming on as substitute for the injured Antti Niemi. He was the first ever goalkeeper to make a substitute appearance in an FA Cup final.


He also blamed his time in Limp Bizkit for difficulty in getting jobs with other acts such as Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson in the past, stating that the other bands didn't want to be associated with his previous band.

# Wes Borland on his Big Dumb Face album, new Limp Bizkit and 'toxic' fame

"I think the only person I've ever turned down is Will Smith to be in the Men In Black 2 video."

Wes Borland is set to release a new Big Dumb Face album, 'Where Is Duke Lion? He's Dead…', appropriately enough on Halloween.

The sequel to 2001's 'Duke Lion Fights the Terror!!', it raids the musical dressing-up box to include death metal, electronic noise, steel pan samples and grindcore.

As the moniker suggests, it doesn't take itself overly seriously.

NME caught up with the eccentric Limp Bizkit guitarist to talk time-travelling severed heads, turning down Will Smith and why some people still find Fred Durst and co "bozos".

"I'm burning the candle at both ends, trying to make puppets for a video right now.

The single is called 'Jesus Retreats' and it's about good losing and evil winning, which is just like what goes on today in the world [laughs].

So the whole Big Dumb Face record is about the death of the hero of the first record – Duke Lion – and how hell takes over the earth, the universe and everything.

So the video is going to be a puppet Jesus running from demons the whole time."

Why did you decide to revive the Big Dumb Face project after 16 years?

"Well, one of the things is that I said I'd never do it again – and I'm into doing things now that I said I would never do again.

Another thing is I got inspired by all of these ridiculous, unnecessary and unwarranted sequels to movies that happened a long time ago (Laughs).

I thought, 'if it's working for them, maybe it would work for me!'.

The main reason is I put out a solo record last year that was really not heavy at all and I wanted to make a really heavy record."

"I mean, I really approached it like it's a Hanna-Barbera [animation] or He-Man, like it's a silly fantasy cartoon.

People who liked the first record will find out that the 'Blood Red Head on Fire' [a single from the first album] is actually Duke Lion's head sent back in time so he fights himself in a time loop forever.

I'm a big Harry Belafonte fan, which is an influence on some of the record.

It's a heavy record that doesn't take itself too seriously."

"Yeah, 'cos it's like a funny, evil, spooky, stupid record, so Halloween is the perfect day to release that."

Have you flaunted any good Halloween costumes in the past?

I usually skip Halloween because I'm dressing up all of the time.

(Laughs) I mean, I did it when I was a kid but I've ended up skipping it most years since I've been dressing up in a band."

What's the current situation with the forthcoming Limp Bizkit album, Stampede of the Disco Elephants?

I did what I was going to do on it over the past few years, and I think Fred's just trying to figure out what he wants to do.

I know he's in a studio working on it right now, but I'm not sure what he's doing.

I'm basically waiting for him to finish something so that I can take it and starting mixing and editing it into whatever it's going to be.

We did so many sessions – there's 28 or 29 songs, and whatever he chooses out of that to do vocals on, I'll take that and work on it at my house and turn it into a record."

When you left it, what was it sounding like?

"I mean, it sounds like 'Gold Cobra' or 'Chocolate Starfish'.

It's not breaking down any new barriers."

You've quit and rejoined Limp Bizkit twice.

How do you feel when you hear your biggest known songs now?

It doesn't feel like I even wrote 'em, 'cos it was so long ago.

I feel like they were written by another person.

They're so familiar to me now that I can play them without even thinking about them.

They're sort of a part of me, but I'm also not a part of them."

Do you ever worry about the world at large not taking Limp Bizkit seriously?

That's probably a lot of the reason why we had so much conflict.

Being in Limp Bizkit has done a lot of great things for me, but it's also hurt my career in a lot of ways too.

So I get asked a lot if I regret it and yeah, some parts of me think maybe it would have been better had I never joined the band and got signed, because I would probably not have the same level of success, but I would maybe be doing something different and not be infamous.

It definitely has cost me jobs – like working with other musicians.

And it's definitely been destructive to my wife's indie band, Queen Kwong [which Borland plays guitar in] – having me associated with it has cost her."

Which musicians were reluctant to work with you?

"Like when I was in [Marilyn] Manson for a little while, he was really nervous about it.

And he didn't initially want me in the band.

And in 2005, I had the guitar spot in Nine Inch Nails, before Aaron North got it.

Trent Reznor was very cautious about it.

He was like, 'I don't know if I want that name being brought up in press about Nine Inch Nails.

I don't want to see Limp Bizkit and Nine Inch Nails in the same article.'

After so many years, why do you think people might still regard the Limp Bizkit name as toxic then?

It was too much in people's faces for too long.

I think Fred's romance with celebrity was really toxic and he realises that now.

But you know, when you're in your 20s and all this shit's happening, you're like 'Yeah, I'm going to do that!'.

When everything's as crazy as it was for us and blowing up, we were fucking kids and we acted like kids.

Then this arrested development happens where you stop maturing into an adult and become this complete bozo.

When Hugh Hefner passed away last month, footage resurfaced of Limp Bizkit's 2000 MTV album launch for 'Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water' at the Playboy Mansion.

The only thing I could do was dress up as a '70s porn director with a wig and moustache on and try and take the piss out of it 'cos I really didn't want to associate with that.

I wanted to get out of there as soon as I could.

I've never liked being around debauchery and stuff like that.

I'm an atheist now, but I think growing up as a minister's son in a Christian family who were conservative with that kind of stuff had an effect on me.

I don't know – I've just seen bad things happen to women on the road that I wish I hadn't have seen, and it's not something I would ever want to participate in."

What's the most surreal offer you've turned down?

He wanted me to play this song and be in the video to one of the movies, and I was like 'No, I can't.'

Have you met any famous people recently who you've been surpised have been fans of Limp Bizkit?

I got to meet him the other day, with the people from [North Carolina festival] Moogfest, and got asked to play it next year.

I'm going to be playing a four-hour improvisational set.

I've reached out to Nick Zinner from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs who did it last year for some insight into when I'm supposed to pee.

(Laughs) What did I talk to JJ Abrams about?

Everyone at the table was mostly talking about how they have inside information about our phones being used to spy on us."

There's a whole trend of unexpected bands speaking out about Trump.

Is there any chance of Limp Bizkit going woke on the next record?

I hope it's just braggadocio silly lyrics that say 'fuck' a lot.

I mean, I'm disgusted with Trump, but half of the country voted for him so something has to change within our country.

I feel you guys have the same problem with Brexit.

I feel people are so divided to the point where there's going to be a civil war of some kind again.

We had marriage equality and people trusted scientists, but now everything's going backwards again.

Talking to Trump supporters is like trying to talk to a brick wall."

"The Big Dumb Face record comes out on Halloween, then I'm jumping into 'The Astral Hand', which is a sequel to a solo record called Crystal Machete that I put out last year, which will be released in April.

The new Queen Kwong record comes out then, which I've mixed and played on a little bit.

I'm doing a new Black Light Burns record after that – because I said I'd never do that again.

(Laughs) – which will probably come out in June.

I think Bizkit and Korn are doing Australia in March, and we'll be doing a bunch of summer stuff."

### The Big Read – Brockhampton: "Shia LaBeouf is our idol and inspiration"

Career.:Solo album, Big Dumb Face reunion and Stampede of the Disco Elephants (2016–present).

On May 3, 2016, Borland released an instrumental solo album named "Crystal Machete" on his personal record label (Edison Sound), which saw him stepping outside his comfort zone by featuring no distorted guitars or vocals. The album was released to positive reviews, with Drowned in Sound calling the album a "a beautiful, sprawling post-rock mini epic". In 2016 he disbanded Black Light Burns.
 In winter 2016 Limp Bizkit embarked on a co-headlining UK tour with Korn, including dates at Wembley Arena with support from Madball. As of October 2017, the status of the new Limp Bizkit album "Stampede of the Disco Elephants" is unknown, with Borland telling NME that he has completed all of his parts for "28 or 29 songs" and is waiting for Fred to choose what songs he wants to complete before he can mix and master it.


On the same day ISIL militants shot dead two Iraqi Policemen at a checkpoint near Mosul, and fled the scene afterwards.

# Two Iraqi policemen killed in Islamic State attack on Mosul checkpoint

Security forces defend their headquarters against attacks by Islamic State during sand storm in Ramadi.

Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) – Two Iraqi policemen were killed Monday in an Islamic State attack on the group's previously proclaimed capital Mosul.

Speaking to the Iraqi Basnews website, a security source said that a group of Islamic State militants opened fire at two policemen stationed at a security checkpoint in Badush city, 30 km west of Mosul, leaving them dead.

"The assailants fled the scene into an unknown location after the attack," the source said.

He added that security forces opened a probe into the incident and moved the dead bodies to the forensic medicine department.

Violence in the country has surged further with the emergence of Islamic State extremist militants who proclaimed an "Islamic Caliphate" in Iraq and Syria in 2014.

The surge in violence between armed groups and government forces has resulted in over five million internally displaced persons across Iraq and left more than 11 million in need of humanitarian assistance, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
