The Campus Arboretum of the University of Arizona has established the Florilegium of the Joseph Wood Krutch Garden. This florilegium will consist of traditional botanical illustrations of plants growing in the Krutch Garden.
The Herbarium at the University of Arizona has received a donation of the original Lucretia Hamilton drawings from Lyman Benson's The Cacti of the United States and Canada . These illustrations, which are a significant addition to the Herbarium's collection of botanical illustrations, were donated by Edward Hamilton, Lucretia's son, who obtained them from Stanford University and wanted to have them preserved under archival conditions. The donation includes 119 plates of Hamilton's drawings and 17 plates by Lyman Benson.
Florilegium volunteer James Thomas has completed the process of transferring the Hamilton and Benson illustrations to archival mounting boards, and Nancy Reid is working to accession the new illustrations into the Herbarium's collection, which now consists of 2,125 works of botanical art by several renowned illustrators. Read more about this ongoing project to preserve these illustrations.
A video about our exhibit "Drawing Us Together" that was funded by an ASBA Julius I. Brown Grant was presented at the ASBA Annual Conference in October 2014 and is now showing in the Visitor Center.
Two additional displays have now been installed to accompany the permanent botanical art exhibit: Plant Pollination: It's More Than Birds and Bees features works by Joyce Peters, and Blending Art and Science features works by Wendy Hodgson, Curator of the Herbarium and Senior Research Botanist with the Desert Botanical Garden.
In February of 2015, Elaine Hultgren will be teaching a class "Nature Sketching and Journaling" at the North Mountain Visitor Center. The dates are February 21 and 22 from 9am to 4pm. Please join us. Registration information may be found on Elaine's website.
In January of 2015, a children's coloring book, Drawn Together: Plants and Animals of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve, went on sale at the Visitor Center. It features illustrations by several SWSBA members. Proceeds from sales go to fund future activites related to our exhibit.
Over the past year, the Central Arizona Conservation Alliance and a team of citizen botanists led by Wendy Hodgson, Curator of the Desert Botanical Garden Herbarium, have been conducting a floristic inventory of the North Mountain area of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. The goals of the North Mountain Plant Inventory Project are to: (1) improve our scientific knowledge of the Preserve's flora for land management, scientific, conservation, and educational purposes; (2) train, engage, and educate members of the public as plant stewards; and (3) provide a data-based plant atlas located on the Southwest Environmental Information Network (SEINet).
The Florilegium Program is continuing its cooperative effort with the University of Arizona Herbarium staff to provide an archival environment for the botanical illustrations held in the Herbarium's collection.
The Legumes of Arizona Project of the Desert Legume Program of the Boyce Thompson Arboretum is developing a reference book that will describe the Legume Family (Fabaceae) in Arizona. This	book will include descriptions of all legume species and information on their uses and cultivation.

Culture Minister puts temporary export bar on 17th century Italian cabinets worth £1.2m
A pair of 17th century Italian cabinets are at risk of being exported from the UK unless a buyer can be found to match the asking price of £1,265,000 (plus VAT of £43,000 on the buyer's premium)
Culture Minister Ed Vaizey has placed a temporary export bar on the 300-year-old ebony cabinets to provide an opportunity to save them for the nation.
Experts say that they are among the most important cabinets from Rome left in Britain and date back to around 1625. They were brought to Britain by one of the leading collectors of the day, the 4th Earl of Carlisle for Castle Howard, Yorkshire. Showpiece cabinets were the most prestigious display furniture in 17th century Europe and were lavishly decorated to reflect the taste and status of their owners.
The cabinets, made in Rome, are thought to have been commissioned by the noble Borghese family, one of the wealthiest families of their day. They represent the best quality furniture making in the early 17th century and each one is ornately inlaid with decorative stones and mounted in bronze. Each cabinet sits on a matching stand made in England around 1800, made from mahogany, with gilded supports and ornaments.
Culture Minister Ed Vaizey said: "These ornate cabinets are among the finest examples of 17th century furniture left in the country and give us unique insight into how lavishly some of the wealthiest families furnished their homes at that time."
The decision to defer an export licence follows a recommendation by the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest (RCEWA), administered by Arts Council England.
The RCEWA made their recommendation on the grounds that they were of outstanding aesthetic importance and outstanding importance for the study of Roman pietre dure furniture given their quality, the Borghese association and the relationship of the cabinets with their stands and English 18th century collecting.
RCEWA member Christopher Rowell said: "These two magnificent ebony cabinets, veneered with hardstones and mounted in gilt bronze, on neo-Classical Kent Revival stands made for the Picture Gallery at Castle Howard, represent the high watermark of the British taste for Italian princely furniture. With the exception of the National Trust's cabinet at Stourhead, made in Rome around 1585 for Pope Sixtus V, these are the most significant Roman cabinets of this type in Britain. Every effort should be made to prevent their export."
The decision on the export licence application will be deferred until 19th March 2016. This may be extended until 19th July 2016 if a serious intention to raise funds to purchase the cabinets is made at the recommended price of £1,265,000 (plus VAT of £43,000 on the buyer's premium).
Offers from public bodies for less than the recommended price through the private treaty sale arrangements, where appropriate, may also be considered by Mr Vaizey. Such purchases frequently offer substantial financial benefit to a public institution wishing to acquire the item.

Letter from man sick of watching Big B's 'Suryavansham' goes viral; Here's why
Someone recently addressed a letter to Sony Max after watching Amitabh Bachchan's 'Suryavansham' on TV multiple times. The letter is going viral on social media, and admirers can't stop generating memes out of it.
If we conducted a poll, there would be very few individuals in the country who had not watched Amitabh Bachchan's 'Suryavansham' on Sony Max. Isn't it startling? But it's true!
Big B's 'Sooryavansham,' which was released in 1999, was a box office flop. However, it was elevated to the status of a record after the film was aired many times on the movie channel.
Let us tell you that E.V.V. Satyanarayana directed 'Suryavansham'. The late actress Soundarya also played the principal role in the film.
Now that the younger generation is tired of viewing the movie every week, someone recently submitted a message to the station after watching it numerous times.
A letter written by a guy is currently becoming popular on social media, in which it can be seen how desperate he has grown after seeing Amitabh Bachchan's 'Suryavansham' on Sony Max multiple times. A topic was utilised in a letter written in Hindi by a person (to seek information under Right to Information 2005).
The individual stated in the letter that the channel had the right to air the video.
He wrote, 'Your channel has gotten the contract to transmit the feature film Suryavansham, and by your grace, we and our family have gotten to know Heera Thakur and his family very well. We know the extra innings of the film Suryavansham by heart. How many times has this movie shown on your channel? How many times will this film be shown in the future? Who will be held accountable if it has a negative impact on our mental health? Please do not hesitate to notify…'
The letter has gone viral on social media, and people have already begun making memes out of it. People are currently having fun sharing this letter.

Omelette, the Spanish Way
By Fizz @ThePoetsAlley
Now Eggs are a favorite of mine. In fact till I do not have a breakfast with an egg in it, I do not feel full. So, I experiment a lot with my egg.
Now eggs can be Boiled, Fried, etc etc...
Today, let's talk about one of my favourites - The Spanish Omelette.
Now it's called a Spanish Omelette or Spanish Tortilla by the rest of the world.
The Spanish, however call it - Tortilla de patatas or Tortilla espanola or Tortilla de papas.
Potatoes are called Patatas or Papas in Spain.
Now the Omelette consists of a thick egg omelet made with potatoes and fried in olive oil. But people do innovate, and over the years, apart from the base ingredients, one can also include peppers, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, and ham. Apart from these, if you have any more additions, do let me know. I would love to hear.
In Spain, it is commonly served as a snack or a picnic dish. As a snack, it may be cut into bite size pieces and served on cocktail sticks or cut into pie style portions. Like I said, it has loads of eggs in it, and I eat it for my breakfast, served with Bread and mayonnaise and/or Tomato ketchup.
By the way, Omelette is the French spelling for Omelet. You can spell it either way. I however, am a proud foodie, and roll between the two not wanting to be confined by its complexity.
P.S: In case, you do want to read more on "The Spanish Omelette", I am attaching the link.
I am also attaching the link for the Recipe.

Removal of the prostate gland (radical prostatectomy) is the mainstay of treatment for most men with early prostate cancer. It was first performed in the early 1900's, but was associated with a high rate of devastating side effects including impotence and urinary incontinence. It was rarely practised until the pioneering work of Patrick Walsh at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore (USA) in the early 1980's. He went back to the anatomy dissecting room and produced detailed drawings of prostatic anatomy and, particularly, the relationship of the all-important erectile nerves to the prostate. He subsequently developed the technique of nerve-sparing prostatectomy and the side-effects of this surgery were reduced dramatically. Men had a better than 50:50 chance of preserving their erections, and the risk of significant incontinence fell to approximately 5%.
Until the late 1990's, nerve-sparing prostatectomy was typically performed as an open surgical operation despite the trend towards laparoscopic ("keyhole") surgery in other areas of urology. There was a view that laparoscopic prostatectomy was too difficult, due to the confined space of the pelvis, and the difficulty of rejoining the bladder to the urethra once the prostate has been removed. Suturing with laparoscopic instruments is difficult; they do not have the ability to flex – they are like a human arm without a wrist joint. Additionally the surgeon's 2D view with standard laparoscopic camera systems makes orientation of the suture needle difficult.
Robotic technologies have the ability to overcome these shortcomings. The da Vinci robot, the only surgical robot in common usage currently, returns the surgeon's 3D vision and has wristed instruments. These mimic the movements of the human hand, making the technology intuitive to use and opening up an array of procedures which are difficult to perform with conventional laparoscopic instruments. The robot functions well in the confined space of the male pelvis, operating through five or six keyholes. The surgeon has a magnified 3D view of the pelvic anatomy, improving precision and aiding visualisation of the all-important nerves which run close to the prostate. The wristed instruments facilitate the suturing required to reconnect the bladder to the urethra once the prostate is removed, creating a water-tight join.
The advantages of the robotic platform are not confined to prostatic surgery, and it can greatly facilitate partial nephrectomy in which a part of the kidney is removed –typically because it is cancerous. In this operation, the blood vessels to the kidney are clamped to reduce bleeding as the tumour is excised and the kidney can only safely tolerate 30 minutes of interrupted blood supply. The robot facilitates the suture repair step which needs to take place whilst the blood supply is cut off, and additionally the use of reconstructed imaging visible in the robotic console may in the future allow better appreciation of the anatomy making the surgery safer.

Los Angeles Pushes Back Student COVID Vaccine Deadline Until Fall 2022
The Los Angeles Unified School District, the second-largest in the country, has pushed back a deadline for its students to get fully vaccinated against the coronavirus until fall 2022 after roughly 30,000 students failed to get shots.
The school board voted Tuesday to extend the Jan. 10 deadline to avoid an influx of unvaccinated students who now attend schools having to enroll in the district's online program.
Nearly 87% of the district's students aged 12 and older have already shown proof of vaccination or have received an exemption. But because 13% remain unvaccinated, the district would have had to shift teachers to online instruction, draining resources from in-person classes, school board member Jackie Goldberg said in a statement following the vote.
Parents opposed to LAUSD's student vaccine mandate rally outside the district office in Los Angeles while the school board met on enforcement of the mandate on Tuesday.

"I felt like we were ending up with a situation in which those who complied would be the most negatively affected," Goldberg said, according to the Los Angeles Times. "I think we have no choice."
Some pro-vaccine parents called the decision a failure, and a Los Angeles Times editorial branded the district's strategy a "game of chicken with vaccine-hesitant parents."
"Letting parents shirk their responsibility to get their kids vaccinated will only end up punishing the kids and families who took responsible action," one parent, whose wife is a teacher, said in a letter to the board, according to USA Today.
Goldberg insisted, however, that those opposed to vaccines did not win and that the district will continue to encourage vaccination.
A parent of an eleventh-grader joins a rally opposing LAUSD's student vaccine mandate outside the district office in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
"This pandemic is not over, and LAUSD may delay the eligible student vaccination deadline but will uphold the requirement," Goldberg said in her statement.
California back in October became the first state to announce plans to require its students to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. LAUSD staff are also required to get the vaccination. Nearly 500 employees were fired last week for failing to comply.
Los Angeles public schools serve more than 600,000 students.
New York City, the nation's largest school system, has required teachers and other staff members to get vaccinated since October.
New York does not currently require vaccines for students, but Mayor-elect Eric Adams has said he supports a student vaccine mandate.

"What constitute's a life well spent?
Love and admiration from your fellow men is all that anyone can ask."


My name is Julia. This is where I share things I create, moments I live, and my hopes for the future. Eventually, I hope to grow this space and include stories about becoming a doctor. For now it functions as a visual adventure journal.
I love this life. I believe love is abundant and try to live accordingly. One of my partners in life is Matt who works for an environmental organization fighting fossil fuels and climate change. While my focus right now is on living and learning medicine, I try to share my heart and soul with others here when I get the chance.
I believe art changes the way people think and see the world. Through art, we can explore and communicate what we are and who we hope to become.
I agree and I believe the same must be true for beauty and love. Whenever and wherever human beings are creating goodness and living in beauty, I want to take sides; I want to celebrate and share the sacred, intricate, intimate and inexplicable moments and relationships we experience on this beautiful planet.
I write to celebrate life; to connect; to understand; to learn; to teach; and to mourn.
And sometimes I quote, but I usually use my Tumblr for quotes.
I have really struggled over the years with just how much to reveal about myself.
Sometimes I feel the pain of environmental destruction—mountain-top removal, coral reef degradation—in my body. I can't explain it, but when I forget our connected-ness, it is this pain that tugs me back.
And so I wonder, in this oneness, what room is there for privacy? Secrets? Shame? As the oceans rise and islands disappear, as over 15 (15!!!) million refugees struggle to find safety, and as the endangered species list grows… with all the destruction and loss, I write to push back against the cynicism and despair that creeps up on me if I am not actively fighting it.
That said, I will always err on the side of caution when it comes to others. As a result, this blog will mostly focus on me. When necessary I will change names and details to protect identities.

GENRE: Lesbian Paranormal Mystery Erotic Romance
LENGTH: 7,823 words
This New Year's Eve, parapsychology student Roxy Silverstein has signed up for a ghostwatch in an old gothic church. It's supposed to be haunted by the restless spirit of Veronica Parker, a young socialite who died in mysterious circumstances at a millennium party sixteen years earlier.
But soon after she arrives, Roxy is swept off her feet by a leather-clad adventuress named Eris King, a psychic detective who's convinced Veronica's death was murder, not the accident everyone believes it to be. There's a problem, though. Eris only has psychic visions when she's in the throes of orgasm, and she needs an assistant to help her with that.
Scarcely believing her luck, Roxy jumps at the job. The pair make a great team, and soon discover the sinister truth behind Veronica's death. Will they live to tell anyone about it ... or end up victims of the same cold-hearted killer?
"My name's Roxy Silverstein. I'm a student of, ah, psychology." She mumbled the last word.
"A student of what? Psychology, did you say?"
"Well, parapsychology, if you must know. Telepathy and that sort of thing. But it's all very scientific."
"I'm sure it is." Eris nodded vigorously. "I'm a psychic detective, you know. But I can't do it without an assistant, and my last assistant just did a runner. She left me a note this morning saying she had to go back to Europe."
Roxy looked puzzled. "An assistant? I thought psychic detectives always worked alone. Like you have to tune in and pick up the etheric vibrations, or something."
"Yes, that's right. But I'm what they call an ecstatic visionary. The only time I can pick up etheric vibrations is at the height of orgasm. That's why I need an assistant, you see -- I can't concentrate on two things at once."
"I see." Roxy did see, too. She saw that Eris King was as nutty as a fruitcake. Nevertheless, it sounded like fun. "Okay, you've got yourself an assistant."
But Eris wasn't listening. Her eyes were darting around the chapel again. "Shhh ... we need privacy. I haven't told you the whole story yet."
The leather-clad brunette grabbed Roxy and ushered her over to a confessional. Before she knew what was happening, Roxy found herself sitting in the sinner's seat. A second later the screen opened and she saw Eris on the other side of the grille, sitting in the priest's place.
"I've been reading all about the Veronica Parker case," Eris whispered. "It's a lot more suspicious than Drake made out. When he said about footprints in the snow, he didn't mention that there weren't any footprints at all -- not even Veronica's."
"So?" Roxy shrugged. "They must have been covered with fresh snow before the body was found."
"No -- I checked the weather records. There was no snowfall here the whole of New Year's Eve and the following day. Something was covered up all right, but it wasn't footprints -- it was the truth. I think Drake's behind the cover-up, with all that money of his. He may even be responsible for the murder!"
"Murder?" Roxy felt a thrill of excitement.
"Of course! Why else would a perfectly healthy teenager be found dead in a graveyard, without a stitch of clothing on? There's no other logical explanation."
"Okay, you've got me there," Roxy conceded. "So where do we start, Nancy Drew?"
"I need to pick up some vibrations," Eris said eagerly. "This place must be full of them. That's why people keep thinking they see the ghost."
"Vibrations, right." Roxy could see where this was leading. "For which you need to ... I mean I need to ... that is, you need me to, um ..."
"Yes, exactly! But it might get noisy. It usually does. So we can't do it in here – we need to find somewhere we won't be overheard. That's one of the hazards of my profession."

The Night Prayer's Lord, a Poem
By Catherine Graham
The poem "The Night Prayer's Lord" like most of the poems in my most recent collection, Her Red Hair Rises with the Wings of Insects (Wolsak & Wynn), pays homage to the late Irish poet Dorothy Molloy who, in 2004, died ten days before her first collection was published by Faber and Faber. Though I lived in Northern Ireland during the 1990's I never met Molloy. And yet she became my spirit mentor while writing this book.
What originally began as a glosa became a sonnet. The italicized words are Molloy's. They are from her second posthumous book, Gethsemane Day, and her poem, "If I should wake before I die."
According to T. S. Eliot, "The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion."
My aim—to be a good poet.
The Night Prayer's Lord
If I should wake before I die, I'll be in a box. I'll be
in the dark. I'll need a bell to ring—Oh, let me
be Victorian. My breath on glass. The wet stone
in your hand. Help me out of this coffin. Don't
let the woodworms in. Listen for the trapline going
knock knock. Help! Or I'll take that beam out of my eye
by cracking the oak. Let second chance surge
through me like a Greek chorus—Saggy skin,
droopy eyelids, blue-veined hands, dryness
between the legs, the nameless faces—I'll sail a boat.
I'll learn how to fly! Re-activate adrenalin! Reap
the sown seed! Make life fit into the tunnel I have left.
Do all the things you don't do until the one day
there's nothing to do inside this massive oven.
after "If I should wake before I die," Gethsemane Day.
Winner of the International Festival of Authors' Poetry NOW, Catherine Graham (@catgrahampoet) is the author of six poetry collections including The Celery Forest and Her Red Hair Rises with the Wings of Insects, a finalist for the Raymond Souster Award and CAA Award for Poetry. Author of the debut novel Quarry, she teaches creative writing at the University of Toronto SCS where she won an Excellence in Teaching Award.

Tropical Storm Chantal is churning the seas off of the Northeastern U.S. coast. It's our thrid tropical storm so far in this slow-so-far-hurricane season. Chantal strengthend to a Tropical Storm early Tuesday, but never affected the U.S. mainland. Chantal could bring some healthy squalls to Newfoundland tonight and dissipate in colder waters late in the week.
We've added a new poll question to our blog! Feel free to vote (only once please) and we'll give the results of our poll on 13News each night.
Wednesday and Thursday: A/C's a must!
We hit the nail on the head when we forecasted a 89° high temperature for Monday. We'll be a degree or two warmer for Tuesday and a degree or two warmer on Wednesday. No big deal, right? What is more important is the fact that our humidity will come up in a big way during the next 48 hours.
Click on the link below for a look at our 13Futurecast model which shows how the humidity will be brought in by the wind. For much of Tuesday, our surface winds (out of the east and northeast) will keep the rich, humid air to the south. Once we go into Wednesday, our surface winds will shift out of the south and tug on that tropical airmass that lies to our south into our area.
I know it's only July, but I officially started my Christmas list! A company has invented an umbrella that doesn't just keep you dry in a downpour, it actually forecasts the weather!
For instance, the handle lights up if there's going to be rain in the next 12 hours! Get ready to pony up! When the umbrella goes on sale, look for a $125 pricetag.
Hard to complain about the heat if you put things in perspective!
I just thought I would see how many other people enjoy watching the show.
Despite the recent rains the past couple of days, we are still over an inch shy of where we should be for this time of the month. On average, we typically should see 4.10″ of rain for the month of July. So far, we're just under two and a half inches. The weather pattern we're going to be getting into for this upcoming week will allow storm systems to bypass us to the north and keep us dry through at least the end of the week.
It's hard to believe that July is almost over with. But just within a few days, August will soon be here. One thing we will surely remember, however, are the great weekends. Every weekend this month was relatively nice. The first weekend was a little hot, but the weekends to follow were fairly comfortable and this one is no exception. Lets hope this nice weekend weather will continue into August!
For 78 year old Jan Kenkel, the sky did fall on Thursday morning. A fifty pound chunk of ice crashed through the roof of her Dubuque, Iowa home!

That which endures......

Thank you, Kremmen. Training a horse to stand while one frames a picture can be the challenging part.
Lovely barn images, Trooper. Property taxes inside Whitehorse are quite high, less so in the communities where there are fewer services. Income taxes run about 20-22% if you earn around $30,000 per year and go up from there. One can reduce their income tax by starting a small home-based business with justifiable tax write-offs or by investing in RRSP's and similar. There is a home owner's grant of up to $450/yr if you reside in your place of residence at least six months of the year plus an $50.00 deduction for seniors.
Here is another picture taken with my Sony Experia two days ago. It is a completely different camera from the Fuji I used above. I am still learning how to use it.

In keeping with the thread topic, I wonder how long digital images will endure? It is fascinating to me that we can share them almost instantly and replicate them without degradation or limit (as far as I know).

Reminds me of an episode of Siskel & Ebert, a hundred years ago. They were discussing films being allowed to degrade & 1 of them said it is good that so many are now being preserved on VHS.
The following picture was taken the same day, from the back of the palomino Morgan mare I was riding. The dunes in Carcross, Yukon are locally known as the world's smallest desert.
How small is it?

It is only about one square mile or 640 acres of northern sand dunes that were created during the last glacial period, when the large glacial lakes dried up and the sediment and sand were left behind.

Thank you Stryder, for removing the off topic content of the previous post.
Among that which endures are some amazing trees. It is quite amazing to me, that this specimen has survived the curiosity and traffic of so many of our kind, driving through an opening that was carved completely through it's trunk.
The Chandelier Tree in Drive-Thru Tree Park[1] is a 315-foot (96 m) tall coast redwood tree in Leggett, California with a 6-foot (1.8 m) wide by 6-foot-9-inch (2.06 m) high hole[2] cut through its base to allow a car to drive through. Its base measures 21 ft (6.4 m) in diameter. The name "Chandelier Tree" comes from its unique limbs that resemble a chandelier. The limbs, which measure from 4 to 7 ft (1.2 to 2.1 m) in diameter, begin 100 ft (30 m) above the ground. The tree is believed to have been carved in the early 1930s by Charlie Underwood
IF only those trees could talk.
Do you know how many have been cut like that? I hope not many yet doing it with 1, 2 or 3, I think, demonstrates their strength & endurance.
The 'Wawona' tree, the most famous among the Mariposa Grove of Big Trees in Yosemite National Park, stood at an incredible 227 feet tall. It was 90 feet in circumference, and a hole big enough for park visitors to drive through had been cut in the base where it had sustained a fire scar. As such, it's often called the 'Drive Through Tree' or the 'Tunnel Tree'. Unfortunately, the Wawona tree fell in 1969 under an estimated two-ton load of snow. It was approximately 2,300 years old.

I have seen negatives that are 100 years old that you could still make prints from. And I have floppy discs that are less than 15 years old that are obsolete.

As I recall, digital files are quite sensitive to magnetism as used to be found in the large speakers and TV's of old. It does make one wonder if an exceptional solar flare might be capable of wiping out a significant portion of our digital data base. I suppose the best protection is to have multiple redundancies in many locations, which need to be refreshed at regular intervals. Definitely an argument for not doing away with 'hard copy' in too great a hurry.

What the script does? it open the server connection , connect to mongodb and from the webform with datapicker it display the result query, via console i can see the result and it is working perfectly, now i need to display the data to web.
So far no result. Any suggestion?

Nafloyd Scott and New Edition singer Ralph Tresvant as Sam Cooke, among others. ...
Ahead of an upcoming BET miniseries about their lives, R&B/Pop group New Edition just ended another successful reunion tour, stopping in Minneapolis at the Target Center, on the recent last leg.
Kenny Babyface Edmonds got things going with an opening hour-long set that ran the gamut from tender ballads to rhythmic stompers, to a barrage of cover hits that he had a hand in writing and/or producing. In promotion of last year's Return of the Tender Lover (Def Jam Recordings), his first studio effort in a decade, Babyface mainly kept it retro, much to the fans' delight and theme of the evening.
Smooth as ever in sunglasses and a blue jacket and with a full band in tow, 'Face opened with the tender R&B of 1993's 'For the Cool in You' and 1996's 'Every Time I Close My Eyes', taking everyone back twenty-plus years, to seemingly simpler times. The half-arena swayed side-to-side with 1989's Grammy-winning 'Whip Appeal' (from the Tender Lover LP), with many in the nattily-dressed crowd singing along with the chorus.
The new 'Exceptional' flowed in seamlessly with the hit maker's other songs, then 'Face and band took the last half of his set, like Nile Rodgers did the night before, to remind everyone of all the hits he had a hand in contributing and/or creating. "This is my favorite part of the show" Babyface said, starting chronologically with 1983's 'Slow Jam' from Midnight Star.
Maybe borrowing a little of New Edition's thunder, 'Face dropped in a little of Johnny Gill's hit singles he helped on, then exclaimed "Can I get My Bobby on?!" for a quartet of Bobby Brown covers (as close as the crowd would get to hearing the missing New Edition member this tour), before ending with two of his best known songs written / produced for Michael Bivins' own protégés, Boys II Men.
In case we needed a reminder, New Edition showed a trailer of the planned three-night TV miniseries due in 2017 before taking to the stage in dark pants, matching red jackets, and oh, those signature moves. "If you're sitting down, you might want to get up right about now", they urged, before launching into 'Hit Me Off', a 1996 comeback single.
The songs came in rapid-fire for the first fifteen minutes , before the band paused to introduce themselves one-by-one, followed by a Johnny Gill solo of a couple Luther Vandross songs and his own 'My My My'. Gill looks a little out of fighting shape, but the baritone voice still has its signature ring.
The still high-pitched Ralph Tresvant was next to shine, serenading the audience with a couplet of radio hits, before Gill re-emerged with his high-energy 'Rub You the Right Way', followed by Messrs. Bell, Bivins and DeVoe with their own biggest hit, 'Poison'.
Their newest collaboration, 'This One's For Me and You' is actually on the Johnny Gill 2014 album, Game Changer (J-Skillz/Caroline), but sounds like trademark New Edition, a group continuing to evolve since their 1978 start in Boston.
A wardrobe change ensued (eggshell glittered jackets with black trim and dark hats) and the quintet (Ricky Bell; Michael Bivins; Ronnie DeVoe; Johnny Gill ; Ralph Tresvant) was on their final lap, taking everyone all the way back to the early 1980's and their earliest radio hits.
1988's 'If It Isn't Love' (written/produced by former Mpls. residents Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis) ended the evening, with the crowd (more than half women) trying to scream like they once did for these songs, three decades earlier.
Thirty-five plus years later, the New in New Edition may not apply like it once did, but the throngs of fans still happy to see them , will always be their candy girls.
New Edition: Ralph Tresvant
New Edition: Johnny Gill

Each making his BSO debut, English conductor Andrew Manze and Italian pianist Francesco Piemontesi join the orchestra for a somewhat rarely heard Mozart concerto, the vivacious No. 19 in F, which the BSO has not played in Symphony Hall since 1994. Graźyna Bacewicz was one of Poland's most important composers of the mid-20th century, and one of very few women with an international reputation in that era. Her dynamic and soulful Concerto for String Orchestra won the Polish State Prize in 1950. Mendelssohn's Fifth Symphony, Reformation, is based in part on Martin Luther's hymn "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God." The symphony was written to coincide with the 300th anniversary of a major Reformation event, the Augsburg Confession.

News Roundup: Texas Child Protective Services Sees Increase in Abuse Cases in 2017
Our daily look at Texas headlines.
By Becky FogelFebruary 15, 2018 1:40 pmTexas News Roundup
Gabriel Cristóver Pérez/KUT News.
The Standard's news roundup gives you a quick hit of interesting, sometimes irreverent, and breaking news stories from all over the state.
The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) has released its 2017 data on child abuse and neglect in the state. To put it simply, there is both good news and bad news. Dimple Patel, the associate director of public policy at TexProtects, a child advocacy organization, says there were more reports of abuse and neglect last year.
"So we actually saw a 2 percent increase in the reports we received at Child Protective Services – there were about 290,000 reports that were made – so quite a bit of calling into the hotline," says Patel.
Of those reports, over 63,000 children were confirmed to be abused and neglected, which is up 8.5 percent from 2016. Another figure that went up last year was the number of investigations Child Protective Services (CPS) completed.
"We saw 174,000 completed investigations, so that's an almost 5 percent increase from 2016."
There were also 19,847 kids removed from their homes and placed in foster care, up 4.2 percent from the previous year. If your head is spinning from all these numbers, Patel explains what she's taking away from this data.
"This really speaks to a larger issue in our state, which is that more families need services and support than they ever have before," she says.
And CPS is better prepared to meet those needs after state lawmakers invested in the agencies workforce last year, which brings us to some good news: In 2017, caseworker turnover and caseloads were down at CPS.
"So we saw the greatest gains in the investment that the legislature made in investigations. They had a 15 percent drop in their caseloads from 2016 to 2017. Their caseloads are around 14.5 now. We saw less of a drop in family preservation. It was only a 1 percent drop in their caseload. And then with conservatorship we saw a 6 percent drop, so they went from have about 29 cases to 27.8 now," says Patel.
Another key finding – while child fatalities in Texas increased by 30 percent in 2016, they dropped by an estimated 23 percent in 2017. The exact number will be released March 1.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued "cease and desist" letters to three school districts in the state on Wednesday. He says Brazosport, Holliday, and Lewisville Independent School Districts are engaging in "unlawful electioneering." Paxton is accusing these school districts of using taxpayer resources to advocate for or against political candidates and measures.
As the Texas Tribune reports, this is the most recent development in a fight over the role of public education organizations in promoting civic engagement and voting. Just last month, Paxton issued a non-binding opinion that said public schools could not transport students or staff to polling places unless it was for an educational purpose.
Paxton sent letters to Brazosport ISD, Holliday ISD, and Lewisville ISD, highlighting messaging on their social media accounts that he says is unlawful. Lewisville ISD told the Texas Tribune it disagrees with this characterization of their districts tweets. Paxton asked for what he deemed "political messaging" to be removed by public space and for all districts to respond to his office in writing by February 16.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office – the largest sheriff's office in Texas – led the nation in sex buyer arrests during a month-long sting.
More than 30 U.S. law enforcement agencies participated in the 15th National Johns Suppression Initiative that ended in early February.
Yesterday, the Harris County Sheriff's Office announced that, combined, these agencies made 638 arrests. Of those, 103 were in Harris County.

2195 romped into the Raiders Dome to watch hosts Newmarket slip to a 42 - 48 home defeat to the powerful Kings Lynn Lightning - Lynn were pretty solid throughout and they managed to avoid a rider finishing pointless in 6 of the heats, which proved to be the trump card this evening - Tibor Nemecek and Ray France being particularly effective.
1366 crowded into the Camelot Arena as home outfit, Chantry Crusaders, narrowly pipped the visiting Canvey Island Castaways 46-44 - though the Islanders did take the bonus point away with them - Josh Montsach led the Crusaders' charge against a solid Canvey Island effort.
1169 happened upon a cracker at the Hawthorne Bowl - witnessing Yorkshire hosts, Leeds Jaguars grab a draw from the visiting Durham Speedsters, who put up a spirited fight to claim a deserved share of the spoils and the bonus point, in a meeting that swung both ways. Thought both teams will rue the loss of a rider each to injury.
