Elmet Farmhouse provides the perfect 'base camp' for exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park, renowned for its spectacular geological features, its beautiful rivers and its lush rolling hills and dales.
The dramatic white limestone cliffs, screes, gorges and limestone pavements of Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are some of the greatest natural wonders in England. Set amongst rich green pastures, magnificent Malham Cove stands 240 feet high and marks the source of the River Aire. At Gordale Scar limestone cliffs overhang a gorge with waterfalls emerging from the rocks.
The woodland paths along River Wharfe between the picturesque ruins of Bolton Abbey and Barden Tower are strikingly beautiful . One of the highlights is the Strid, where the river is forced through a deep narrow gorge. Further upstream the Dales Way continues along the banks of the Wharfe through the village of Burnsall to Grassington.
High up above Wharfedale at Simon's Seat rugged rocky outcrops emerge from the heather on the top of the hills.
A hike along the Dales Way beyond Grassington takes you through archetypal Yorkshire Dales landscape with undulating hills, limestone outcrops, Swaledale sheep and small fields bounded by snaking white limestone drystone walls.
Linton in Craven is a delightful Dales village hidden away near Grassington. The village green is dominated by the magnificent Grade II* Listed Fountaine's Hospital: a group of alms houses with a chapel in the centre built in the 1720s by the renowned Sir John Vanbrugh (who designed Castle Howard) or his associate Nicholas Hawksmoor. The Fountaine Inn in the centre of Linton is a characterful pub with open fires serving excellent food.
The Three Peaks – Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent – are the highest fells in the Yorkshire. Each has a different shape and character. Ingleborough, a vast limestone mound which dominates the landscape for miles around, is capped by a huge plateau a mile in circumference. The surrounding countryside is marked by numerous white limestone outcrops and rocky screes, known as scars.
The monumental Ribblehead Viaductin Ribblesdale is one the greatest railway engineering structures in Britain. Steam trains make regular crossings on the famous Settle – Carlisle railway line.
Although Swaledale is the northerly of the Yorkshire Dales, it is also the lushest and greenest. Renowned for its wild flower-rich hay meadows and for its numerous stone-built barns, it is an idyllic landscape capped by heather moors.
The broad valley of Wensleydale runs parallel with Swaledale a few miles to the south. Famous for its waterfalls at Aysgarth and Hardraw Force, the River Ure runs through it and there are rocky limestone outcrops such as those at Simonstone above Hawes.
Calderdale – the southernmost of Yorkshire's Dales – is a unique landscape with infinite variety in the Heart of the Pennines. Characterised by its steep wooded hillsides, hilltop hay meadows and rolling heather moors, the Upper Calder Valley has numerous spurs, known as cloughs and deans, each one a hidden gem. The area around Hebden Bridge is particularly dramatic with its bluebell woods, converging rivers, cascading waterfalls, gritstone outcrops and rocky gorges.

Sams Takes Helm At SUNY Old Westbury

After a 10-month search with dozens of candidates considered, SUNY Old Westbury tapped Syracuse native Dr. Timothy E. Sams to lead the four-year institution. He succeeds Dr. Calvin O. Butts III, who stepped down last August after a tenure of nearly 21 years.
Sams has extensive administrative experience, having spent 29 years in various leadership positions. His last post was vice president of student affairs for Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, TX.
In a press release, he stated, "Assuming the presidency of SUNY Old Westbury is an honor and the highlight of my career and I am proud to follow President Emeritus Butts in this capacity. I have spent three decades seeking to transform student's lives through access, excellence, success and impact. Old Westbury's mission to cultivate critical thinking, empathy, creativity and intercultural understanding, to endeavor to stimulate a passion for learning and commitment to building a more just and sustainable world, is perfectly aligned with my worldview. I can imagine no better place for me to be a president."
"Dr. Sams has dedicated his adult life to creating dynamic academic and social communities that support the development of college students," said Mili Makhijani, chair of the SUNY Old Westbury College Council. "His career-long commitment to student engagement and advocacy matches strikingly well with Old Westbury's ongoing emphasis on student equity and success, as well as its historic commitment to empowering students, especially those from underserved backgrounds, to excel as leaders both in their careers and in the communities in which they live and work."
According to a press release:
He currently is vice president of student affairs for Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, Texas. At Prairie View, he has showcased his deep commitment to excellence, student support, and inclusivity through the creation of the university's residential college, emergency resource center, and LGBTQ+ Resource Center.
This recent work builds on past experiences at respected institutions across the country. As the senior vice president for student development at Morehouse College, he held a portfolio that included Student Services, Enrollment Management, Campus Safety and Athletics, among other units. As vice president for student life at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, he led such services as Residential Life, Health and Mental Health Services, the Campus Center and Career Services. He is also credited as inaugurating the Student Life Office at New York University-Abu Dhabi and, for 13 years, led the Black Cultural Center at Swarthmore College.
Dr. Sams' career accomplishments include reaccreditation and two strategic plans, student success, efforts to increase student and staff diversity, and elevating residential college models at three institutions. He helped create the nation's first ROTC Center of Excellence, a campus-based PrEP program, a J-Mester program, a bridge program, an undergraduate completion program, an experiential learning and cultural immersion program in Ghana, West Africa, two major LGBTQ support initiatives, a student emergency resource center, and a $1.5 million federal community intervention grant.
Dr. Sams earned a bachelor's degree in History and Sociology from Union College in Schenectady, a Masters in Africana Studies from the University at Albany, and a Ph.D. in African American Studies from Temple University. He is an Minority Serving Institutions' (MSI) Aspiring Leaders Fellow and recipient of the 2020 Champions for Student Success Award from American Campus Communities.
The appointment concludes a 10-month search process that included an 18-member search committee representing a wide range of campus and state constituencies. RPA Inc., an executive search firm with an expertise in higher education, assisted in the process.
Anton Media Group recently interviewed Sams as he got ready to assume the top spot.
Q: Why did you get picked over so many qualified people?
An aerial view of the 604-acre campus. (Courtesy of SUNY Old Westbury)
A: [It] was the issue of [being] fit for the institution. That looms large. I think there is a fit around the world view, the culture and the way the Old Westbury college community thinks about education. I'm a purpose-driven educator [and believe] that the purpose of education is to help people to transition to a higher place in life, to transform the communities from which they've come and ultimately, to improve humanity. That, as I understand, is Old Westbury. Its identity is built around transforming the lives of those student bodies through excellence, through engagement with the surrounding community, through critical thinking. That is what my career has been built on. And that is what I think convinced [the search committee] that I should be the next president.
Q: What is your educational philosophy?
A: I come from a very strong, traditional liberal arts background, which has been driven by the principle that education is about the life of the mind. I always believe that people depend on education to change and transform their lives and the lives of the people they love and care about in the community they come from.
Q: Has your whole career pointed you to this stage where you will be in charge of a college?
A: I started out as faculty, but immediately decided on being an administrator. I felt I had a greater impact on students as an administrator than as a faculty member. Eventually, I had a couple of [college] presidents who pulled me aside and said, 'You need to consider being a president. You have the orientation to it. You have the chops. You have to start doing these things with the goal of ultimately being a president.' After that I started out to do it. The three vice presidency stints that I had helped me to refine that work, so I felt very convincingly in myself that I was true to the reasons I'm doing this work. And so, at the end of that, if I'm able to find or identify an opportunity that resonates with my identity as a person, the reason I'm doing it, then that would make that presidency right for me.
Q: Being in charge of things such as student life, health, etc., helped you learn the granular details and nuts and bolts of campus life.
A: I appreciate you identifying that. A significant portion of the liability of an institution lies with its student body. I believe that a lot of the challenges manifest themselves in the students' lives. If we have a challenge around our academic apparatus, you will see it play out in the quality of our graduates and the failure of us to graduate students. If we're talking about our facilities, you will see it play out. The quality of their living experience, the quality of their classroom experience, the quality of their recreational experience. Any business model requires that you have a keen ability to deliver on the promise you make to your consumers. In the 29 years I've been [in this field] I have worked to get the institution to move and shift and change in a way that ultimately makes our primary consumer satisfied. And that's our students.
Q: When will the college decide on returning to in-person classes?
The pandemic forced the college to switch to remote learning. A small percentage of the students are currently studying in person. (Courtesy of SUNY Old Westbury)
A: My understanding is that the governor allowed each school to make a determination about the way in which they wanted services delivered. So across the 64 campuses in SUNY, you see various educational models at play, from full in-class classroom experiences to hybrid to full online classes or a mix of all three. The model we chose at Old Westbury was to move all of our classes to online out of an abundance of caution. My understanding is that [in the spring] semester we're going to continue with that. Until we see some kind of real reprieve—definitely the opposite of what we're seeing right now, the trendlines of COVID-19.
We're a brick and mortar campus. So what we never want to do is diminish the quality of our education. We know that students do not like online education—if they liked it, they would have gone to another institution. So we have to convince students of the value of their online education and make sure that it still achieves excellence in the way that we develop our students in a way [that they] to come to expect. And do a smooth transition to an in-classroom model.
We do have a small exception, about 100 students who are on campus taking in-person courses and that is based upon the requirements of the course. There was no way they could have done [that aspect] of the course online.
In response to a question, spokesperson Michael Kinane said, "Roughly 7 percent of the overall number of classes we are offering for the spring will have limited in-person components. Those offerings with those limited in-person components begin occur ring during the week of February 8."
Q: Where do you see the college needing improvement and where is it lacking?
A: We need capital. We need money. Of all the schools that I'm aware of, Old Westbury sits on the greatest mound of promise and potential I've ever seen. How do we get it to fully engage so that it would be one of the most meaningful colleges in our nation? And the answer is, it needs capital. It needs investment. It needs people to believe in that mission and who have the financial wherewithal to fuel that mission so that it can be catalytic to change in this country.
Q: Do the college presidents make their case to the SUNY Board of Trustees as far as pleading for resources?
A: Yes. And as you know, both private and public colleges have to have a diverse financial portfolio. Long gone are the days when public colleges and universities rely on financials coming from the state. The SUNY system is not unlike any other. The demand has increased and the resources have decreased—almost in parallel. And so what a leader has to do today is be able to go out and work the financial and the funding world and sell them on the fact that we are truly investment worthy.
Q: What are some of the immediate things that need to be addressed?
A: COVID-19. If I said anything else I'd have my head in the sand. But along the lines of COVID comes financial stability. Schools are taking significant hits in their enrollment. We are an enrollment-driven institution, which means the fewer students we have, [the less] in our financial coffers for the operation of the school.
[Another] thing that grabs me immediately is our retention and graduation rate. Ultimately we want everyone who comes on that campus, we want them to have a good sense of the possibility of them graduating and moving on to the careers of their choice. And so I'm going to be looking at, in addition to the COVID-related items that we talked about, at retention and graduation and student experience and what levers we can push and pull to raise those numbers. At the end of the day, the ultimate outcome for any college, and certainly one of the top three worries of any president is whether or not they're graduating the students they bring in.
Q: What is the graduation rate?
A: My understanding is that it is around 40 percent [actually, 48.2 percent]. It's not an acceptable figure in any type of location. If you and I owned a business and we were successful at a 40 percent rate, we'd be unemployed. We'd go belly up. We need to be at a rate that is significantly higher and most importantly, represents our commitment to providing excellent formal education for our students.
Q: What percentage live on campus and is housing going to be part of any long range plans?
A: I think about 20 percent of the student body live on campus. We have beds for 900 (out of about 4,900 enrolled). One of the challenges is that I understand that there are students who are having problems with housing, and I expect to be looking at housing challenges to make sure that whatever solution we craft, we can argue that it works best for their academic pursuit. Housing, like every other aspect of the college experience, is designed to retain and graduate students. And so when students have what we call housing insecurity, we want to use housing in the best way possible to erase those insecurities so they can focus on the real reason they're there, which is to study.
Spokesperson Michael Kinane said that 760 students were living on campus before the pandemic shut down in-person classes.
Q: When the state is back in financial health, can you imagine putting up more student housing there?
A: Yes, I can imagine it. But there are a lot of conversations to be had. I can imagine it because it is the model of education that I believe in.
Q: Now you will be the one who has to make the decisions. Is this a challenge that fills you with apprehension?
A view of the college library. (Courtesy of SUNY Old Westbury)
A: I would say my concern relates to doing anything that you care about for the first time. But my concern is not about our ability as an institution to meet the challenges. As it relates to meeting those challenges, it is a collective responsibility, and that responsibility for me does not stop at the gate or at the entrance to the campus. I believe in the town-gown relationship, [interacting with] the surrounding Westbury community. As I've come to understand Old Westbury from afar, there is nothing about the community that speaks of failure—or lack of success. And that should be the way the community also looks at its college. That its success is inextricably tied to the success of its college. That as the college elevates, so too does our community. That's my job to argue that, and that the community sees it. What's most important for me is the ability to be able to talk to all the stakeholders and make sure that we are envisioning an elevated college together and playing our roles in an interchangeable, interdependent kind of way.
Q: Your predecessor was here for almost 21 years. Do you see yourself retiring from this job?
A This is it. There is a great deal of work to be done at the college for me to feel that I've been successful. For me to feel like I have fulfilled the reasons why they brought me in as a president. Most importantly, being a president is such hard work that I said to everybody in my life, 'I'm only doing this one time. And then I plan to retire.'

Q: Publishing software I'm working on a piece of software I would like to sell eventually. Right now I'm fine with sharing it with people that are interested in playing with it and testing it, perhaps on a web page as an alpha version. But I don't want people to steal my code. Will a code obfuscator do the job? Should I also copyright it or stuff like that? I really have no idea where to start, so any help will help.

A: If you publish just your executable, the only thing that could be done is reverse engineer it.

A: If your program is compiled as managed executable (such as .net), you might want to obfuscate it if you don't want people poking on your code. If you worry so much about people stealing your code, why not release the alpha testing as invitation only (people request invitation by leaving comment, name, email, phone number, address and so on and you decide whether to allow them or not). That way you know who download your program and it would be easier to track its usage.
Edit: I found a great article about software licensing here, you might want to read them too.

A: To answer your 2 questions, which are specifically about stealing source code:

*

*An obfuscator will make it harder for somebody to reverse-engineer (and then steal) your source code. There is a trade-off in that obfuscation has a significant testing burden, and also mess with the stack trace for an unhandled exception.

*Copyrighting the binary won't do anything to stop somebody stealing your source. Depending on the country that you use for your software licensing, copyrighting the binary may help you with attacks that aren't aimed at your source code.

If you're using a managed language such as C# or Java, you can use a packer such as Themida or the free MPress to pack your executable into an encrypted wrapper application. This will slow down attackers using tools like .NET Reflector, and IMO is a more maintainable approach than using obfuscation.

The Chairman of the States of Alderney's Policy & Finance Committee, James Dent, and the President of the States of Guernsey's Committee for Economic Development, Deputy Charles Parkinson met in Alderney today to discuss matters of mutual interest. Officers were also present.
James Dent said: "I am very pleased that Charles came to Alderney to meet with us today, and to hear about our economic development objectives. It is clear that there is much common ground between what we and Guernsey are trying to achieve, and I was very pleased with his commitment to working together to meet common goals. The Committee for Economic Development's understanding of Alderney issues is strong, and I will be inviting them all to Alderney later this year to meet the Policy & Finance Committee for further discussions."
Discussions included areas such as tourism and marketing, and Guernsey's Director of Tourism & Marketing has been invited to join the new Alderney Tourism Liaison Panel. There will be opportunities to ensure that the Guernsey Committee for Economic Development's revised economic strategy links with priorities of mutual interest. There were also discussions on air and sea links.
Deputy Parkinson said: "It is clear that the success of the public service agreement process for the Guernsey-Alderney air route is connected with the progression of the runway rehabilitation project, and so the discussions we had today are helpful in making sure that those processes are aligned. Alderney's offer to input formally into the public service agreement process is very welcome, and very important, as we must work together."


INVISALIGN® is a sophisticated system that straightens individuals teeth using a series of custom made, clear aligners. These aligners fit perfectly fit over the teeth and gradually shift them into proper alignment.
These aligners are clear and made of smooth plastic material and are virtually invisible from a distance when smiling. They are the trusted alternative to traditional orthodontics and are the chosen alternative for those that don't want to wear traditional braces.
Dr. Pinkhasova is a qualified Invisalign® dentist in rego park 11374, is adept at performing the fitting of these orthodontic appliances and has performed them for many of her patients with great results. These will give you a great smile, straightening your teeth in less time and about the same cost as traditional braces.
WILL INVISALIGN® HINDER MY ABILITY TO TALK OR EAT?
No. You will feel a difference when wearing them and your mouth will gradually adjust as you get used to wearing them. Invisalign® aligners are made of clear, smooth plastic that are virtually undetectable when being worn. They are also removable, so you can brush, floss, eat, and drink as you normally would.
WHO MAY THEY BE SUITABLE FOR?
Invisalign® is perfect for anyone who has crooked, crowded or misaligned teeth or even a gap between the two front teeth. It is a proven and effective method that is used everyday by dentist throughout the USA providing patients with noticeably straight smiles.
The Invisalign® system predicts your teeth's movement using advanced computer imaging technology. Once your teeth straightening course has been determined using this technology, a series of custom-fit, individually made aligners is precisely manufactured to move your teeth through each stage of your Invisalign® treatment.
As your teeth straighten, new Invisalign® aligners will be given to you. On average, an Invisalign® appointment takes between 15 and 30 minutes every 4 weeks.
WHAT ARE THE MOST OBVIOUS BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN®?
The most obvious benefits are the fact that eventually when your teeth do become properly aligned, this in itself will result in fewer dental problems throughout your lifetime. Your teeth will function exactly as they were designed to function. This will in turn reduce stress on them and wear and tear.
This prevents dental problems like chipping and breaking of teeth, recession of the gum line, gingivitis and a number of other dental problems. It will increase your overall health and well being by reducing dental problems and the likelihood of ailments such as heart disease, stroke pneumonia and diabetes. All of these are great reasons to get Invisalign® and in no time you will be on your way to a perfect smile.
To find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign®, simply schedule an appointment for consultation on our website or by calling us directly at (718)897-3434.

On August 10, 2018, a Major Disaster Declaration was issued for Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Clark, Douglas and Iron counties, triggering the release of Federal funds to help communities recover from the severe storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides that occurred June 15-19, 2018.
The Public Assistance Program provides grants to state and local governments and certain nonprofit entities to assist them with the response to and recovery from disasters. Specifically, the program provides assistance for debris removal, emergency protective measures, and permanent restoration of infrastructure.
Eligible Applicants
Eligible applicants include state governments, local governments and any other political subdivision of the state and Native American tribes. Certain private non-profit (PNP) organizations may also receive assistance. Eligible PNPs include educational, utility, emergency, medical, temporary or permanent custodial care facilities (including those for the aged and disabled), irrigation, museums, zoos, community centers, libraries, homeless shelters, senior citizen centers, rehabilitation, shelter workshops and health and safety services and other PNP facilities that provide essential services of a governmental nature to the general public. PNPs that provide "critical services" (power, water - including water provided by an irrigation organization or facility, sewer, wastewater treatment, communications and emergency medical care) may apply directly to FEMA for a disaster grant. All other PNPs must first apply to the Small Business Administration (SBA) for a disaster loan. If the PNP is declined for a SBA loan or the loan does not cover all eligible damages, the applicant may reapply for FEMA assistance.
Public Assistance Process
As soon as practicable after the declaration, the grantee (state or tribe), assisted by FEMA, conducts the Applicant Briefings for state, local and PNP officials to inform them of the assistance available and how to apply for it. A Request for Public Assistance must be filed with the state or tribe within 30 days after the area is designated eligible for assistance. Following the Applicant's Briefing, a Kickoff Meeting is conducted where damages will be discussed, needs assessed, and a plan of action put in place. A combined federal/state/tribal/local team proceeds with Project Formulation, which is the process of documenting the eligible facility, the eligible work, and the eligible cost for fixing the damages to every public or PNP facility identified by State, tribal, or local representatives. The team prepares a Project Worksheet (PW) for each project.

You Can't Stop the Beat – Dance: The Gen X Addiction
Kelli Kilgore
City of Virginia Beach
Dance has for years played second fiddle to other art forms on television. Until recently, dance was the background to musicians and singers. It was the filler on award shows and sketch comedy programs. Dance was not at the forefront and beamed into homes during primetime. It didn't dominate the ratings wars because there weren't programs that dared to approach it as the focus. That is until Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance grabbed hold of unsuspecting audiences and hasn't let go. Four years ago the fall months were filled with glitzy, glamorous outfits, and professional ballroom dancers found themselves becoming household names with the introduction of Dancing with the Stars. As this phenomenon transpired, another strange change occurred. Grown women from their 20s to their 40s found themselves bound by this new medium. Dance and curiosity about dancers were tempting viewers who were wary of online interaction to message boards and MySpace, all in the name of dance. I was among the ranks of those lost in the twirly haze and the beauty of an art form so long left in the background. The addiction ran strong, but it was fortified by the advent of So You Think You Can Dance the following year. Those long summer months that many lovingly referred to as "the time that DWTS forgot" was now filled with a younger crop of leaping lovelies. This show, in its cheesy American Idol imitation, embraced even more dance forms and brought choreographers and dancers right into your living room. Gen Xers fell in love with it. But why? What was is about this seemingly banal show that made so many clamor to watch and vote and run to see it live? I'm not quite sure, but it may be the humanity within the insanity. Logically, educated older viewers should scoff at the silly little dance shows, but instead they were moved by the strife and strength of the dancers. Dance is not a skill you can necessarily fake, so contestants, even the worst contestants, delivered the goods and entertained. Their bodies defied space and gravity and contorted those watching into a frenzy of amazement. The dancers' personalities drew viewers in and it became more than just dance. Beautiful moments were captured much like the performance Hide and Seek, where raw emotion and pure talent were put on display for the audience's enjoyment. Closet dance lovers came out in droves and stood proudly arm in arm, talking endlessly about foot position, lines and precision. We were moved. Dance had galvanized us all, addicts united and proud.
As someone who'd probably be
By Dana Heller
Tuesday, December 4, 2007 — 6:15 pm
As someone who'd probably be classified among the "educated older viewers," I watch SYTYCD with history at my back. This, if nothing else, at least demonstrates that Dance TV is not a wholly new invention. In US television history, hugely popular shows such as The Arthur Murray Party (1950-1960), National Bandstand (1952-1989), Soul Train (1971-2006), Dance Party USA (1986-1992), Club MTV (1987-1992) all managed, in their own time and in their own way, to move, entertain, and irritate viewers. At the same time, these shows (like DWTS and SYTYCD) registered significant shifts in the status and development of embodied forms of cultural knowledge, styles of bodily presentation, and television's outreach to youth markets. And I would want to consider all of these as precursory forms of reality dance television.
Nice piece, Kelli. I would
By Avi Santo
Nice piece, Kelli. I would add that a key component to the success of SYTYCD that Kelli hints at is the melodrama behind the performance. As viewers, we are encouraged to see the pathos and the pretension in every step because of the interviews and interstitials that accompany the performance. We are invited to reward hard work ethic and punish ego (though we don't always do so) and, of course, read all of this onto the dance performance. I think this hybrid competition-melodrama marks an important departure from the history of dance TV that does precede the current cycle. As a non-dancer, I find that I often cannot distinguish between good and bad performances and am usually irate when judges gush over what I thought was amateurish and awkward looking. I suspect that most viewers are like me - unable to distinguish between technical execution and something that looks "cool". That's why I like my emotional response to the dancing predetermined for me by the back story.
Avi, I agree the difference
By Kelli Kilgore
Avi, I agree the difference between the shows Dana referenced and SYTYCD and DWTS is the emotional connection viewer formed with the dancers. The competitive aspect of SYTYCD and DWTS allow audiences to learn back story and become attached to dancers they "like" or "dislike". Soul Train, Dance Party USA, and other programs featured dance but dancers were still merely props and not characters that viewers followed week to week. It is that spoon fed back story that allowed the contestants on the current show to rise to pseudo celebrity status that was not possible before. The choreographers from STYCD can now tour together doing workshops that sell out from city to city. This by their own admission would have never occurred before because the general public did not know who they were nor could they identify their work. The shows did not only bring dancers to the forefront but by using the same choreographers each season they too have a recognition that is new. I challenge most to name the choreographers from the shows listed above but now many know a Mia Michaels piece and get excited when they hear the name Shane Sparks. Viewers who were not initially entrenched in the dancing world are becoming more conscious of dancers and choreographers.
I agree with the comments by
I agree with the comments by Avi and Kelli. Because the nature of competition shows currently on television invites the audience to participate, coupled with all of the resources on the Internet, a sense of intimacy with the contestants, false or not, is created that was not possible during previous dance shows. The regulars on older dance shows may have been highlighted and had followings, but the producers didn't delve into their lives like they do now. The new shows expose the behind-the-scenes practice sessions, and air vignettes and interviews with the contestants and their family members. Audiences see the progress that happens between the dancers' first awkward steps learning new choreography and their final performances. The dancers seem more human. We feel like we know them. In addition to how shows are edited and how personalities are showcased on television, the popularity of the shows is taken to a whole new level on the Internet. There are sites filled with commentary and message boards. We can watch and re-watch clips of the shows online. We catch glimpses of their lives on websites like MySpace. We know what kind of music and movies they like, and can see photos of them in their "real" lives. The contestants blog, addressing their fans, which can be interpreted by some as campaigning for votes, but can be felt by others as feeling appreciated and more connected to the dancers. While previous dance shows were popular, today's media elevates the dancers to celebrities, as Kelli mentioned.
So emotional! I remembered
By Anna Beatrice Scott
University of California -- Riverside
Wednesday, December 5, 2007 — 5:50 am
So emotional! I remembered and loved this ensemble piece for the opportunity it gave us to see the collaborative aspect of dance, but it showed also the weakness of the dancer trained to competition. Immersive media really does help along the choreography. That would be something to think about--it's like taking class and sneaking glances at the person in line next to you if you don't have the sequence yet: using MySpace et al to shore up your performance prior to it by being "backed up" by your own backstory. Perhaps it's not so much pandering for votes as it is making the equivalent of eye contact with an audience member; of trying to get the "heat" of ALL of your audience, not just the ones at the dance event.
Kelli, I hope this isn't
By Zachary Dorsey
Kelli, I hope this isn't too tangential, but your post made me think about the Tony Awards (The Antoinette Perry Awards for Excellence in Theatre), which have aired on television since 1967. More than just "filler," the live performances from the nominated Broadway musicals (many of which prominently feature dance) are some of the most anticipated moments of each year's broadcast. And though the awards for choreography and performance are decided before the broadcast itself, the Tony Awards can still be considered, I believe, a type of dance competition. Like the shows you describe, the Tony Awards have done important work in introducing choreographers (like Susan Stroman, Bob Fosse, Savion Glover, Michael Bennett, and Kathleen Marshall) to audiences outside of New York City, and in doing so, have helped to create audiences for national tours. Admittedly, the 2007 broadcast was the least watched Tony Award show ever, and certainly, the Tony Awards today have a fraction of the viewership that DWTS and SYTYCD do. All this makes me wonder – and your post and the subsequent discussion have gone a long way to answering this – what are DWTS and SYTYCD doing right, and what can those running the Tony Awards learn from the success of these shows?
I seems to be me that one of
Wednesday, December 5, 2007 — 7:59 pm
I seems to be me that one of the recurring themes of the lively discussion inspired by Kelli's post is "back-story" and "emotional connection." I agree with all who claim that carefully edited back-story segments do generate a pleasurable (and possibly questionable) sense of intimacy, connection, and identification between viewer and contestants on SYTYCD and DWTS. However (and I apologize for assuming the role of the resident curmudgeon, but humor me-- I'm enjoying myself here), I want to take issue with the assumption (expressed by a couple of folks here) that TV dance fans today experience emotional connections that fans of AMERICAN BANDSTAND and other precursor dance shows never experienced themselves. First of all, how do we know they didn't? Wouldn't we need to conduct some sort of ethnographic study or interviews with fans to discover accurately the quality or range of their emotional connections? The academic in me wants some evidence for this speculative claim. But I'm also a fan. So, speaking as such, let me assure you that viewers of earlier dance shows knew intimately (or felt they knew) the names and lives of their favorite dancers--Kenny Rossi, Arlene Sullivan, Eddie Kelly, Janet Hamil, and Bunny Gibson just to name a few. They read about them obsessively in the pages of TEEN magazine. They followed their on-screen romances (whether real or staged for ratings), and their break-ups. They had fan clubs, and tie-in products, and crushes. In short, they felt pretty darn emotionally connected. And how can we say for sure that our emotional connections with SYTYCD are more authentic or immediate than theirs were? Maybe we're responding more to the new technologies of access (and the semse of immediacy they generate) rather than to the quality of connection and community that fans will create for themselves with whatever means are available at a given point in historiy.... And as for audience participation, every week the kids on AB (who were neither professional nor paid) would represent kids everywhere by voting for their favorite new song of the week (from whence sprang the tag line, "It's got a good beat, and you can dance to it"). So here we find a very early version of audience interactivity, in so far as the kids chosen for the show stood as proxy for the musical and movement tastes of the youth of America. And let's not forget that in 2005 Dick Clark, cognizant of the rising popularity of reality dance shows, announced the revival of AMERICAN BANDSTAND. This never quite came to fruition, but he did broker a deal for a new show based on the dance aspect of AB. The show was given a new title, SYTYCD, which is why Clark is listed as co-producer in the title. Finally, I like the fact that Kelli's piece takes its title from the show-stopping finale of the theatrical and (more recent) cinematic adaptation of John Water's HAIRSPRAY. Here, The Corny Collins Show (a fictional dance show modeled on American Bandstand) links a fictionalized 1960 conflict over racial integration at a local Baltimore television station to the myth of national liberal democratic progress in the struggle for racial justice and civic equality. How, I wonder, do our more recent dance shows stage the ubiquitous utopian narrative of American opportunity, equality, democracy, and reward for work ethic? Or is just the motion of the ocean?
What a great
By Jane Desmond
University of Illinois – Champaign Urbana
What a great discussion. Avi's last remarks about the utopian narratives have got me thinking about the way these shows smudge the line between so-called "professionals" and so-called "amateurs." Is the goal of winning competitions like these or American Idol to make it to a life of being a paid performer? (and clearly many of the non-winners have made this leap--so to speak--too). Is this a narrative of hard work and talent being rightly recognized...some idea of equality and justice in a sense? The "American Dream"? and if that is part of what is going on--the appeal--then thinking back to the fist video from this week, how does that narrative work into the contests being broadcast in lots of other places, like the Turkish example? Or does it?

el paso daily photo blog by chacal la chaise: Yesterday was a fine day for touring on Shadow Mountain Drive.
Yesterday was a fine day for touring on Shadow Mountain Drive.
It isn't often I get the opportunity or the time to drive-by shoot images these days. Yet this drive-by was too good to pass up. On the way to class, I caught up to this antique Bentley (possibly from the mid- to late- 1930s) near Mesa Street on Shadow Mountain Drive. I photographed two images while we were stopped at the light. We started up again and It turned left, as did I. Although I tried to get another shot of the beast from my rear view door mirror, I soon lost it in traffic.
I've always thought Bentley's were supposed to be too "cool" for a hood ornament. I also heard a Bentley was a Rolls-Royce without the hood ornament. (These are myths because in the case of this beauty, it had the Bentley marque on the rear near the license and a winged "B ornament on the bonnet. In any case, it was a delight to see on such a beautiful day.


A LARGE number of student rooms have been approved by Liverpool City Council's planning committee.
Three applications for around 1,000 rooms were presented to the committee as well as two others for nearly 250 apartments aimed at young professionals. All were approved.
At least one of the student applications stirred opposition from nearby residents who feel the density of such accommodation is too high.

CONRAD: Heart of Darkness, 1 (2012)
Aristotle wrote a very convincing and persuasive philosophical treatise on happiness. It's very common-sense and down to earth. But it's still philosophy. Here's a sample: What is the aim of politics? Both the common man and the cultivated man call it happiness. They understand happiness to be the same thing as "living well" and "doing well." But when it comes to defining what happiness is, they disagree, and the answer given by ordinary people is different from the answer given by philosophers. As long as we're just reading about happiness this theory sounds good; but how well does philosophy hold up in real life? This is a question Joseph Conrad pondered in his masterpiece Heart of Darkness. A sailor named Marlowe goes out looking not so much for happiness but for… what? Adventure? Money? The meaning of life? Marlowe's not even sure himself. Aristotle says we're all looking for happiness, we just don't agree what it is. But in the real world the search for happiness becomes translated (or diluted) into the much humbler task of just trying to earn a living. Most people are just trying to find a job that will pay the bills. The characters in this story are not philosophers; they're sailors, businessmen, clerks, managers. Are they "living well" or "doing well" as Aristotle put it? Early in the story Marlowe meets a minor character who embodies this search for happiness Aristotle is speaking of. Here are Marlowe's words: I shook hands with this miracle, and I learned he was the Company's chief accountant, and that all the book-keeping was done at this station… I respected the fellow. Yes; I respected his collars, his vast cuffs, his brushed hair. His appearance was certainly that of a hairdresser's dummy; but in the great demoralization of the land he kept up his appearance. That's backbone. His starched collars and got-up shirt-fronts were achievements of character. He had been out nearly three years… Thus this man had verily accomplished something. And he was devoted to his books, which were in apple-pie order. This man wasn't a philosopher. He was an accountant. And he was very good at what he did. Everything around him was in chaos and falling to pieces. But his books "were in apple-pie order." Aristotle would certainly have appreciated a man who was good at his job. But Conrad is asking a more probing question: so what? What good are starched shirts and good bookkeeping when the whole operation is in reality a futile flailing about in the darkness? Philosophers tell us that thinking is good and Socrates explicitly says that the unexamined life is not worth living. But sailors like Conrad may have a different philosophy: I watched the coast. Watching a coast as it slips by the ship is like thinking about an enigma. There it is before you -- smiling, frowning, inviting, grand, mean, insipid, or savage, and always mute with an air of whispering, 'Come and find out.' This is not the noble voice of philosophy calling us. This is an ominous voice luring us into a possible trap or into a dark world from whence we'll never return. Socrates may have seen the sunny highlands of philosophy but Conrad saw a heart of darkness. It might be best not to go too deeply into that jungle. But Conrad is like Socrates in this way: he wants us to think about what we're doing before we get in over our heads. Conrad can be as blunt as a steamboat stuck on a river bottom. … I had a notion it somehow would be of help to that Kurtz whom at the time I did not see, you understand. He was just a word for me. I did not see the man in the name any more than you do. Do you see him? Do you see the story? Do you see anything? This is not philosophy but the story of a remarkable man named Kurtz. Kurtz has gone far up the dark river to… do what? There are rumors back at the station that something has gone terribly wrong. Kurtz is not "doing well." He may have gone too far into the darkness. Kurtz may have become darkness. This story sheds light on Luke's gospel message of Jesus: To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide (their) feet into the way of peace. Luke is asking the same question: do you see the man? Do you see the story? Do you see anything?

The Net Zero house sits on the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, Md. It was built to achieve LEED platinum standards. (NIST photo)
Great Energy Challenge
Computerized 'Family' Takes Up Residence in Luxury Net-Zero Energy House
ByAmy Sinatra Ayres
From the outside, the upscale look of this suburban Maryland home is typical for the Washington, D.C., area. But the inside reveals something very different. The virtual "family" inside the house is made up of state-of-the-art sensors, and the house aims to achieve net zero annual energy consumption.
Built by the U.S. government, the $2.5 million Net Zero Residential Test Facility is really an elaborate laboratory, reports Reuters. The house, which was unveiled last week, sits on the grounds of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
(Related Pictures: "Seven Supergreen Government Buildings")
The "Nisters," an imaginary family including two working parents, and children ages 8 and 14, are controlled by researchers camped out in a command center in the home's detached garage. From there, scientists can use sensors and computer programs to make the residents take a shower, cook dinner, do the laundry, turn the television and computer on and off, and other everyday tasks families do that use energy.
Solar panels line the roof to generate electricity and heat water, and scales are used to gauge water use. The system uses weight to determine who's taking a shower and how much hot water they would likely use. (The teenager, for example, might take a much longer shower than other family members.)
The 2-story, 4-bedroom, 3-bath house was funded by federal stimulus money made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which prioritized green construction.
The project will attempt to show the public that a house that doesn't need to look space-aged to operate on net zero energy. It will also be a testing ground for new energy-efficient technologies and environmentally friendly design standards.
"The goal of the facility is to demonstrate that over the course of a year, a home similar in size and aesthetics with all the features a family and surrounding communities would want, can achieve net zero," said Hunter Fanney, chief of NIST's Building Environment Lab, in a video about the project. "That is, over the course of a year, you'd have zero energy building, yet enjoy all the amenities and size of a home typical of the surrounding community."
The home, which uses commercially available technologies, has walls and roofing with more than twice the amount of insulation found in typical homes, and geothermal heating and cooling that uses the temperature of the ground to keep the temperature inside the house comfortable.
(Related Pictures: "In Search of Green Air Conditioning")
During its first year in operation, no humans will be allowed into the house so scientists can monitor how it performs without interference. But it will look occupied, with the lights turning on and off at pre-determined times, appliances and hot water running. The researchers have even added devices to give off heat and humidity like a person would.
While the house will use energy from the grid on days when it can't generate enough energy of its own, officials say it will make up for that energy over the course of the year so that it has a net-zero result.
With its hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances in addition to its amazing energy efficiency, Fanney of NIST says he'd feel right at home living in this laboratory. "I'd love to live in this house," he told CNN.

Complete coverage of the Philadelphia Eagles and their NFL rivals from NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Eagles Are – Unsurprisingly – Favorites to Win NFC East
By Dave Zangaro | NBC Sports Philadelphia	• Published May 16, 2018 • Updated on May 16, 2018 at 1:37 pm
Earlier this week, a Supreme Court ruling came down that will revolutionize sports gambling in the United States.
And it's all happening at time when the Eagles are on top of the world.
While the Eagles have consistently had the second-best odds (after the Patriots) to win Super Bowl LIII since they won Super Bowl LII, they are the favorites to win the NFC East, according to Bovada.
Australian Open 15 hours ago
Here are the full 2018 opening division odds:
Eagles: 5/8
Cowboys: 7/2
Giants: 6/1
Redskins: 15/2
The Vikings, Saints and Rams are the favorites to win the other NFC divisions.
If the Eagles are able to win the division in 2018, it'll be the first time a team has won the NFC East in back-to-back seasons in over a decade. The Eagles were actually the last team to do it, winning the division for four consecutive seasons in the early 2000s (01-04).
In the 13 seasons since the 2004 season, the Eagles have won the division four times. The Cowboys have won it four times, the Giants three times and the Redskins twice.
It would buck the recent trend if the Eagles win the NFC East, but after winning 13 games last year and returning most of their starters from the Super Bowl - not to mention getting several key injured players back - the Eagles should have a pretty good shot.
The Eagles won 13 games last year and the next closest team was Dallas with nine wins. Washington (7) and New York (3) combined to win fewer games than the Eagles. Really, it would be disappointing if the Eagles didn't win the division.

Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft have long been claiming that reducing car ownership and therefore beating cities' traffic congestion is one of their top priorities. However, the recent study shows that not only Uber and Lyft fail to reduce the number of cars on the road, but also the tend to increase it. It turns out that riders who would otherwise use public transport or bikes, end up calling a rideshare car instead.
The authors of the recent study surveyed 944 riders in the Boston area at the end of 2017. As a result, six out of ten riders said that they would walk, ride a bike or take a bus if ridesharing services weren't available in their area. In addition, it turned out that a large number of passengers use rideshare apps to get to the final destination rather than commute to the nearest underground or bus station.
Similar studies have been taken in other U.S. cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle and Washington, D.C. Their authors came to the same conclusions – almost a half of passengers would not take trips at all if it wasn't for rideshare services.
"Lyft is focused on making personal car ownership optional by getting more people to share a ride, helping to reduce car ownership, and partnering with public transportation," Lyft spokesperson Adrian Durbin said when asked to comment on the study results.
"Uber's long-term goal is to end the reliance on personal vehicles and allow a mix of public transportation and services like Uber," said Uber spokesperson Alix Anfang.
Both Lyft and Uber are working to pack more passengers into one car. Uber has recently launched a new Express POOL service in addition to the other carpooling option Uber POOL. Lyft has a similar service that is called Lyft Line.


This imposing champagne cooler was made ca 1885.
Impressive in design and size, this Grecian urn-style vessel sits on a solid and sturdy base and stands more than 12 inches high and is equally as wide.
Polished for impact, this cooler would comfortably hold three of your finest champagne bottles chilling on ice.
It does have maker's marks but these have been polished down over time.
A truly special item, we think it is awesome it and we know you will too.


Did anybody endure this? We, like reportedly many, switched it off after about 15 minutes of both attacking and defending the prez nominee..
Wow, you got through 15 minutes?
I think Kaine looked like Jack Nicholson and Pence reminds me of a Military Leader. I like Pence best of the 4 people running in this election. I hope he is President in 2024-2032.
Pence was excellent. It's unfortunate for him that he's saddled with such a lousy candidate at the top of the ticket.
Given his very conservative agenda (which I know most people won't agree with), he's an excellent candidate. He looks very strong for a 2020 run at the GOP nomination.
Pence did a fine job, through he didn't seem to be on the same page with Trump on a few items. Kaine's information was accurate, but he came across as a bit angry and spiteful. I'd give a slight edge to Pence, through I doubt it will matter much in the election.
Pence is nearly as bad as Trump.
He sold his soul to the private prison industry for a pittance, less than $150,000 to his "campaign", which he is already under investigation for using its funds for his personal use. He immediately increased the minimum sentencing in Indiana for minor drug offenses, thereby guaranteeing that these private prisons meet their legislature-mandated minimum occupancy percentages. He's just typical Republican scum.
Yeah, something else we can thank Trump for.
That man is obsessed with destroying America.
Pence for style, Kaine for substance.
There will be a different president by 2020. Clinton is historically very unpopular and it would take a miracle to turn around her approval ratings in order to tackle her challenger in 2020 even with a good performance. Trump's the only reason she has a shot in the first place.
If Trump wins he won't survive his first term without getting impeached with the myriad corruption, tax evasion and fraud scandals he's already implicated in.
Did Kaine say anything that was not an attack or insults towards Trump?
"Given his very conservative agenda (which I know most people won't agree with), "
shocking, right? supporting gay conversion therapy is such an easy thing to get behind of.
responsible for increased HIV cases.
What do we do with drug abusers? Do we must pump them full of narcan at tax payer expense so they can go get high again?
Drug abusers increase crime rates around the country because they will do anything to get high, and those selling it will do anything to make a buck.
So what is your solution other than to trash Pence?

"The Walking Dead" Spinoff Series Unleashes Official Trailer [PREVIEW]
Posted on October 5, 2019 | by Ray Flook | 0 Comment(s)
While the cast and crew of AMC's The Walking Dead roll along with their deep-dive production-wise on the tenth season, life in the franchise's universe has become a lot like the NFL: neither have off-seasons anymore. With a strong ensemble cast (and a "Big Bad" fronted by Samantha Morton in an award-earning turn as Whisperers leader Alpha) and richly layered writing, showrunner/executive producer Angela Kang did the near-impossible: made the show feel fresh and dangerous again.
While work continues on that side of the Walking Dead universe rambles on, production is also underway on the upcoming The Walking Dead spinoff as it readies for a Spring 2020 debut – except now the series has both a title and a trailer.
The title? Still don't know…
The trailer? Check it out for yourselves below:
The third series in a franchise that includes global hit series The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead will feature two young female protagonists and focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse as we know it. Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever. Grown-up and cemented in their identities, both good and bad.

The Walking Dead spinoff series (co-created by TWD CCO Scott M. Gimple and showrunner Matt Negrete and set to be directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts) stars Alexa Mansour (Madame Secretary), Nicolas Cantu (The Good Place), Hal Cumpston (Bilched), Annet Mahendru (The Americans), Aliyah Royale (Major Crimes), Nico Tortorella (Younger), and Joe Holt (The Tick, Scandal). In this next chapter of the Walking Dead universe, which follows two female protagonists with a focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the zombie apocalypse.

Mansour's character is a good-natured rule breaker who lives for today. She is likable and funny on the outside but sad on the inside. Cantu's character is small for his age in addition to being friendly and an old soul. He also has a black belt in karate. Cumpston's character is big for his age. He is a shy loner that scares some kids, but he hates the fact that he scares people.

Mahendru has been cast in the role of Huck, while Royale will portray Iris – though not much else is known about their characters. Tortorella's Felix is an honorable man of his word who isn't afraid to fight for others' safety and acceptance. Holt's Leo Bennett is a solid family man and respected professor with a generous heart and unwavering optimism for the future. He'd risk his life to save the people he cares about.

The Walking Dead is a story that started 10 years ago with one man trying to find his family. That family grew and gradually communities took shape. They fought and survived, thrived and gave birth to a new generation. It is a tale of humankind and there are more stories to tell.
Credit: Jackson Lee Davis/AMC
It is now Spring, a few months after the end of Season 9, when our group of survivors dared to cross into Whisperer territory during the harsh winter. The collected communities are still dealing with the after effects of Alpha's horrific display of power, reluctantly respecting the new borderlines being imposed on them, all while organizing themselves into a militia-style fighting force, preparing for a battle that may be unavoidable.

But the Whisperers are a threat unlike any they have ever faced. Backed by a massive horde of the dead it is seemingly a fight they cannot win. The question of what to do and the fear it breeds will infect the communities and give rise to paranoia, propaganda, secret agendas, and infighting that will test them as individuals and as a society. The very idea of whether civilization can survive in a world filled with the dead hangs in the balance.

Home » About » History
FAST was created late in 2006 as an independent club with the sole purpose of holding autocross events for the enjoyment of motorsport driving enthusiasts in the Tampa area. The organization began many years earlier as the autocross program of the SunRiders Miata Club of Tampa Bay.
The SunRiders began their autocross program in the mid-90's as an outlet for club members to autocross in a casual environment, and they had a successful program for several years. Over time, the SunRiders club lost interest in the autocross program and there just weren't enough Miata drivers to support the program. Drivers of other cars were encouraged to get involved, and some did, but a lot of non-Miata drivers were reluctant to join a "Miata Club".
The motorsports division of the SunRiders club officially separated in 2006 and joined forces with NASA Florida. This merger was halted after one year due to NASA executives insisting that our profits, which we had budgeted to buy new equipment, mostly belonged to them. The costs of being part of NASA far outweighed the benefits, so we decided to go independent.
And so, here we are. No higher authority to answer to, just a group of local guys looking to share the fun of autocrossing.
