The American Guild of Organists (AGO) is the national professional association serving the organ and choral music fields. The Guild serves approximately 17,000 members in more than 300 chapters throughout the United States and abroad.
Founded in 1896 as both an educational and service organization, the Guild seeks to set and maintain high musical standards and to promote understanding and appreciation of all aspects of organ and choral music.
Utah Valley Chapter Organized
In the fall of 1979, a group of organists gathered at the home of Ephraim and Verena Hatch in Provo for the purpose of forming a local chapter of the American Guild of Organists. The chapter was named the Utah Valley Chapter, officers were selected with Gerald Dick as the first dean, and a petition was then sent to National Headquarters for official chartering of the chapter. The charter was issued October 9, 1979; it was signed by Roberta Bitgood, National President of the AGO.
The mission of the American Guild of Organists is to enrich lives through organ and choral music.
To achieve this, we:
Encourage excellence in the performance of organ and choral music;
Inspire, educate, and offer certification for organists and choral conductors;
Provide networking, fellowship, and mutual support;
Nurture future generations of organists;
Promote the organ in its historic and evolving roles; and
Engage wider audiences with organ and choral music.
The American Organist magazine, published monthly by the AGO, is the most widely read journal devoted to organ and choral music in the world.

Morris County Opens Virtual Information Center Today on Howard Boulevard Study
Posted Monday, December 14th, 2020
Public May Review & Comment on Results & Recommendations of Mt. Arlington Traffic Safety Study
The Morris County Board of Freeholders and state Sen. Anthony Bucco, in cooperation with Mount Arlington Borough and Roxbury Township, announced today that a "Virtual Public Information Center" has opened and will remain open through Friday to unveil and allow public input into the latest phase of an ongoing Howard Boulevard Traffic Safety Improvement Study.
The virtual center may be accessed by computer or smart-phone at https://virtualmeetings.jmt.com/HowardBlvdPIC2. The on-line presentation, instead of an actual public meeting, was made necessary by the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions against large, public indoor gatherings. The virtual presentation created by Johnson Mirmiran & Thompson, the Trenton-based consulting firm hired by Morris County in April 2019 to study an accident prone section of Howard Boulevard in Mount Arlington, outlines the consultant's findings and preliminary recommendations to resolve traffic safety concerns and to solicit public comments and input.
Northbound view of the accident-prone stretch of Howard Boulevard in Mount Arlington.
The study focuses on a section of Howard Boulevard that carries heavy traffic to and from the Lake Hopatcong area to intersections with I-80 as well as Routes 46 and 10. The specific stretch posing concerns runs from Seasons Drive to the I-80 eastbound ramp and a NJ Transit rail station driveway, very close to the Roxbury border.
The virtual center provides a PowerPoint video and information boards presented in a "virtual meeting room," which is a 3-D, virtual-reality image that appears to be a large room in which visitors sign-in at a welcome table and start a narrated, presentation designed to help them navigate the findings and recommendations. The presentation includes various maps and story-boards that outline proposals to restrict some turning options for motorists along the northbound lanes of Howard Boulevard and plans to redirect motorists to a jug-handle turn to accommodate traffic in and out of merchant operations along the roadway.
Visitors to the meeting room may opt to simply read the video presentation rather than use the narration, but all will be directed to 11 separate stations, including a "comment station." The video explains how to adjust views and proceed through the different maps and diagrams provided. Visitors will be able to offer their own thoughts and recommendations through a downloadable contact form.
Three public meetings were initially proposed in January 2019, when the freeholders, in conjunction with Mt. Arlington and then-Assemblyman Anthony Bucco, announced the county would undertake a thorough review of the accident-prone section of Howard Boulevard. The first meeting was held in September 2019 in Mount Arlington to introduce the consultants to residents and other interested individuals, and to discuss the study.
The virtual meeting, delayed by the pandemic, is the second information meeting. It is intended to provide an opportunity for the consultant to present the firm's collected data, recommendations and concept plans for solutions. Ultimately, a preferred plan will be developed and presented at a third meeting.
The consultant began by collecting data, including an analysis of accident history, travel patterns, weekday and weekend traffic counts, and speed limit patterns. The firm also made first-hand observations of driving patterns and motorists' behavior, and was required to recommend a series of conceptual and viable short- and long-term safety enhancements.
There are three signal-controlled intersections and several driveways within the study area. Each of the signals are owned and maintained by the state Department of Transportation (DOT) and Howard Boulevard is under county jurisdiction. The DOT has simultaneously been moving on designs to replace the I-80 overpass at Howard Boulevard, which would include improvements to on and off ramps and modifications to the traffic signals there.
The engineering phase of the DOT plan continues, and the earliest proposed date for issuing a construction contract award is in 2022.

Cornet seals West Ham switch
Unique Sports Group are proud to share the news that Maxwel Cornet has signed for West Ham United.
Maxwel has signed a five-year deal with the Irons, with the option of a further year.
The 25-year-old joined Burnley from Olympique Lyonnais in August 2021 and despite a successful debut season in England – during which he scored nine times in 26 Premier League appearances – he was ultimately unsuccessful in his attempts to keep the Clarets in the top flight.
He now joins David Moyes' ranks at the London Stadium, after sealing a £17.5m move that was enabled by the activation of a release clause in his contract.
Prior to joining Burnley, Maxwel made his name on the continent with Metz and Lyon, scoring 51 goals in 252 appearances for the latter.
Speaking after completing his switch to West Ham, Maxwel said:
"It's a new step for me to join this big Club and I'm really happy to be here, to be part of the project for the Club. I'm just excited to start.
"Everyone knows the level here in the Premier League is very high and I want to play here for that, so I'm really happy to be here for the next stage in my career.
"It will be amazing to play in front of 62,500 fans at London Stadium. I played here for Burnley last season and I can't wait to experience it as a West Ham player."
Everyone at Unique wishes Maxwel the very best with the next chapter of his career.

At every midterm and final, the creative writing class gathers together in their poetry cafe in room 913 and read poems they've written during the semester to their classmates.
The poetry cafe creates insight for those in the class to understand at a different depth the things running in their classmates mind.
The gathering begins in a semicircle, eating food they've all brought for their cafe's menu. After everyone shares two of the poems they've written in class, the remainder of the time is then open up to allow everyone to share anything additional poems they have written. By sharing such personal thoughts, the classmates begin to feel more like a family.
Senior Natalie Roberts loves being able to see the class fortify and unite together from their poems.
"It's different each year with the different classes and the different people. The atmosphere is always vaguely the same, it's just very supportive. I do think that when certain people get up and read poems that are really close to their heart or really emotional, then it really shifts the mood in the room and all of a sudden everyone is paying close attention and supporting each other and it's really nice [to have]," Roberts said.
Many, like Roberts, have never thought to write poetry, but after it became an assignment, they fell in love with the idea. In a sense, it became sanative for them, and the poetry cafe was a reassurance that what they were feeling was okay.
Teacher Mrs. Handling feels that the safety net of her classroom makes the poetry cafe, and ultimately creative writing class successful at RHS.
"I just love the the safety that the kids feel in that environment. I have kids who cry, I have kids who laugh, I have kids who are angry, and the fact that they are so willing to put themselves out there in front of their peers is such a compliment to the environment of the class and it's not because of me. These kids create their own environment in there, and they have become a family and it just reinforces that notion that creative writing as a whole can bring people together who never ever thought that they would ever be around each other in a normal setting," Handling said.
Senior Jonna Giorgi uses the cafe as a way to check in with everyone, and grow their relationship.
"I really like how you can really put your feelings out onto the paper. It's just like drawing except it makes more sense [and] it can help you understand the inner mechanisms of your fellow classmates and help you make sure you know how they're feeling. [It] helps you realize there are some troubles inside your classmates mind that you've just got to be aware of," Giorgi said.
Junior Amy Santana, however, sees the bond creative writing shares and applies it, not only to her other classes at RHS, but also to the world beyond the gates.
"I think a lot of the reason bullying and stuff like that is an issue is because people just don't have that level of understanding. There's a lot of disconnect between people and their lives so I think if that was applied more and there was just a more basic understanding of like, 'people go through things,' then there would be a lot of issues that would be resolved or avoided," Santana said.
As the school year comes to a close, and seniors head on to graduation and college, Handling is grateful for the love she has gained for her students through the years.
"I just think it's such a great way to celebrate everything that these kids are accomplishing and I'm just so proud of them," Handling said.

September 6, 2016 2:45 AM EDT
Don't get in formation quite yet, Beyoncé fans. The Lemonade singer has been forced to postpone an upcoming stop on her Formation World Tour after being put on vocal rest by a doctor.
Just hours after Bey celebrated her 35th birthday, a statement was released by MetLife Stadium, breaking the news that the Grammy winner will no longer be able to play her scheduled show at the East Rutherford, New Jersey venue on Wednesday. Ticket holders for the postponed show will finally get their chance to see the performer one month later, as the Sept. 7 show is now scheduled for Oct. 7.
"Live Nation and Parkwood Entertainment apologize for any inconvenience," the statement adds.
Beyonce is still expected to take the stage in St. Louis on Saturday, playing her planned show at the city's The Dome at America's Center. Following the Missouri stop, the tour will continue on to Los Angeles, the singer's hometown of Houston, New Orleans, and Philadelphia, among other cities.

For other uses, see Lord of the manor (disambiguation).
the seignory, rights granted to the titular holder of the manor.
A title similar to such a lordship is known in French as Seigneur du Manoir, Welsh as Breyr, Gutsherr in German, Godsherre in Norwegian and Swedish, Ambachtsheer in Dutch and Signore or Vassallo in Italian.
Historically a lord of the manor might be a tenant-in-chief if he held a capital manor directly from the Crown; otherwise he was a mesne lord if he did not hold directly from the Crown, yet had his own tenants. The origins of the lordship of manors arose in the Anglo-Saxon system of manorialism. Following the Norman conquest, land at the manorial level was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 (the Normans' registry in Sicily was called, in Latin, the Catalogus Baronum, compiled a few years later). The title cannot nowadays be subdivided. This has been prohibited since 1290 in the Statute of Quia Emptores that prevents tenants from alienating their lands to others by subinfeudation, instead requiring all tenants wishing to alienate their land to do so by substitution.
In medieval times the manor was the nucleus of English rural life. It was an administrative unit of an extensive area of land. The whole of it was owned originally by the lord of the manor. He lived in the big house called the manor house. Attached to it were many acres of grassland and woodlands called the park. These were the "demesne lands" which were for the personal use of the lord of the manor. Dotted all round were the enclosed homes and land occupied by the "tenants of the manor".
A manorial lordship is not a noble title, but a semi-extinct form of landed property. Lordship in this sense is a synonym for ownership, although this ownership involved a historic legal jurisdiction in the form of the court baron. The journal Justice of the Peace & Local Government Law advises that the position is unclear as to whether a lordship of a manor is a title of honour or a dignity, as this is yet to be tested by the courts. Technically, lords of manors are barons, or freemen; however, they do not use the term as a title. John Selden in his esteemed work Titles of Honour writes, "The word Baro (Latin for Baron) hath been also so much communicated, that not only all Lords of Manors have been from ancient time, and are at this day called sometimes Barons (as in the stile of their Court Barons, which is Curia Baronis, &c. And I have read hors de son Barony in a barr to an Avowry for hors de son fee) But also the Judges of the Exchequer have it from antient time fixed on them."
John Martin Robinson, Maltravers Herald Extraordinary and co-author of The Oxford Guide to Heraldry, gave his opinion that "Lordship of this or that manor is no more a title than Landlord of The Dog and Duck". The style 'Lord of the Manor of X' or 'Lord of X' is, in this sense, more of a description than a title, somewhat similar to the term Laird in Scotland. King's College, Cambridge have given the view that the term 'indicated wealth and privilege, and it carried rights and responsibilities'.
Since 1965 Lords of the Manor have been entitled to compensation in the event of compulsory purchase. Before the Land Registration Act 2002 it was possible for manors to be registered with HM Land Registry. Manorial incidents, which are the rights that a lord of the manor may exercise over other people's land, lapsed on 12 October 2013 if not registered by then with the Land Registry. This is a separate issue to the registration of lordships of manors, since both registered and unregistered lordships will continue to exist after that date. It is only their practical rights that will lose what is called 'overriding interest', or in other words the ability to affect land even if the interests or rights are not registered against that land, as of 12 October 2013. Manorial incidents can still be recorded for either registered or unregistered manors; however, proof of existence of the rights may need to be submitted to the Land Registry before they will be noted and they may not be registered at all after affected land is sold after 12 October 2013. This issue does not affect the existence of the title of lord of the manor. There have been cases where manors have been sold and the seller has unknowingly parted with rights to unregistered land in England and Wales.
In England in the Middle Ages, land was held of the English monarch or ruler by a powerful local supporter, who gave protection in return. The people who had sworn homage to the lord were known as vassals. Vassals were nobles who served loyalty for the king, in return for being given the use of land. After the Norman conquest of England, however, all land in England was owned by the monarch who then granted the use of it by means of a transaction known as enfeoffment, to earls, barons, and others, in return for military service. The person who held feudal land directly from the king was known as a tenant-in-chief (see also Land tenure).
Military service was based upon units of ten knights (see Knight-service). An important tenant-in-chief might be expected to provide all ten knights, and lesser tenants-in-chief, half of one. Some tenants-in-chief 'sub-infeuded', that is, granted, some land to a sub-tenant. Further sub-infeudation could occur down to the level of a lord of a single manor, which in itself might represent only a fraction of a knight's fee. A mesne lord was the level of lord in the middle holding several manors, between the lords of a manor and the superior lord. The sub-tenant might have to provide knight-service, or finance just a portion of it, or pay something purely nominal. Any further sub-infeudation was prohibited by the Statute of Quia Emptores in 1290. Knight-service was abolished by the Tenures Abolition Act 1660.
Manors were defined as an area of land and became closely associated to the advowson of the church and often by default the advowson was appended to the rights of the Manor, sometimes separated into moieties. Many lords of the manor were known as squires, at a time when land ownership was the basis of power. While some inhabitants were serfs who were bound to the land, others were freeholders, known as 'franklins', who were free from feudal service. Periodically all the tenants met at a 'manorial court', with the lord of the manor (or squire), or a steward, as chairman. These courts, known as courts baron, dealt with the tenants' rights and duties, changes of occupancy, and disputes between tenants. Some manorial courts also had the status of a court leet, and so they elected constables and other officials and were effectively magistrates' courts for minor offences.
The tenure of the freeholders was protected by the royal courts. After the Black Death, labour was in demand and so it became difficult for the lords of manors to impose duties on serfs. However their customary tenure continued and in the 16th century the royal courts also began to protect these customary tenants, who became known as copyholders. The name arises because the tenant was given a copy of the court's record of the fact as a title deed. During the 19th century manor courts were phased out. In 1925, copyhold tenure formally ended with the enactment of Law of Property Acts, 1922 and 1924, converting copyhold to fee simple. Although copyhold was abolished, the title of Lord of the Manor remains, and certain rights attached to it will also remain if registered under the Land Registration Act 2002, which Act ended manorial incidents unprotected by registration at HM Land Registry after October 2013. The Land Registration Act 2002 does not affect the existence of unregistered lordships after October 2013, only the rights that would have previously been attached to the same.
During the latter part of the 20th century, many of these titles were sold to wealthy individuals seeking a distinction. However, certain purchasers, such as Mark Roberts, controversially exploited the right to claim unregistered land. A manorial title (i.e. Lord of the Manor) is not a title of nobility, as in a peerage title.

Feudal lordships of the manor exist today in English property law, being legal titles historically dating back to the Norman invasion of England in 1066. Being incorporated into property law (whether physical or non-physical) they can be bought and sold, as historic artifacts. The title itself as stated below can be separated from the physical property just as any other right can. Rights like the lordship, mineral and sporting can all be separate from the physical property. The title since 1290 cannot be sub-divided. Land, sporting rights, and mineral rights can be separated. Property lawyers usually handle such transactions.
the seignory – these are the rights granted to the holder of the manor.
These three elements may exist separately or be combined, the first element being the title may be held in moieties and may not be subdivided, this is prohibited by the Statute of Quia Emptores preventing subinfeudation whereas the second and third elements can be subdivided.
The Historical Manuscripts Commission maintains two Manorial Document Registers that cover southern England. One register is arranged under parishes, the other is arranged under manors and shows the last-known whereabouts of the manorial records, the records are often very limited. The National Archives at Kew, London and County Record Offices maintain many documents that mention manors or manorial rights, in some cases manorial court rolls have survived, such documents are now protected by law.
The issues of land claims were raised in the UK Parliament in 2004 and were debated with a reply on the subject from the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs acknowledging 'need for reform of the remnants of feudal and manorial law' as a case was highlighted in Peterstone Wentloog, Wales, where villagers were being charged excessive fees to cross manorial land to access their homes.
In 2007, a caution against first registration caused houses to stop selling in Alstonefield after Mark Roberts, a businessman from Wales also previously involved in the Peterstone Wentloog case, registered a caution against first registration for 25,000 acres (100 km2) after purchasing the lordship of the manor of Alstonefield for £10,000 in 1999. Judith Bray, land law expert from Buckingham University, speaking to BBC about the case, said that "the legal situation is very confusing because a piece of legislation in the 1920s separated manorial rights from the ownership of land."
In reports about the Alstonefield case, the BBC stated, "Scores of titles are bought and sold every year, some like the one Chris Eubank bought for fun, others seen as a business opportunity. It is entirely lawful, and there is no doubt the titles can be valuable. As well as rights to land like wastes and commons, they can also give the holder rights over land." The report goes on to say that the Law Commission in England and Wales were considering a project to abolish feudal land law but would not review manorial rights.
In many cases, a title of lord of the manor may not have any land or rights, and in such cases the title is known as an 'incorporeal hereditament'. Before the Land Registration Act 2002 it was possible to volunteer to register lordship titles with HM Land Registry; most did not seek to register. Dealings in previously registered Manors are subject to compulsory registration; however, lords of manors may opt to de-register their titles and they will continue to exist unregistered. Manorial rights such as mineral rights will no longer be able to become registerable after midnight 12 October 2013.
A manorial lordship or ladyship is not connected to the British honours system, but rather the feudal system. Ownership of a manorial lordship can be noted on request in British passports through an official observation worded, 'The Holder is the Lord of the Manor of ................'. The feudal title of lord of the manor, unlike titles of peerage, can be inherited by females. In addition it is the only title that can be purchased. Lordships of the manor are considered non-physical property in England and are fully enforceable in the English court system. Like their English counterparts, by 1600 manorial titles in the formerly Norman territories in France and Italy did not ennoble their holders in the same way as, for example, did a barony. The status of lord of the manor is associated with the rank of esquire by prescription.
There were fears in 2014 and earlier, that holders of the manorial rights would allow fracking under the homes and near local communities of people living within the manorial estate after a disclosure that 73,000 applications to assert manorial mineral rights had been received by the land registry. Many of the applications received were from the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall asserting their historic "manorial mineral ownership".

It was National Chocolate Cake Day on Friday so I made this little beauty. I thought it had been a while since I'd posted a recipe so I'm sharing it on this week's blog.
Back from another weekend in East Anglia, this time to see my best mate Ross. Ross (pictured with me above) and I did our A-Levels together so have been friends for nearly 25 years and he's awesome. As he's a Hamilton and I'm a Burr, we've always vaguely known about the Hamilton vs Burr duel in US history. Obviously Hamilton the Musical has made this duel much more famous, with Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr the main characters in the show. We've been lucky enough to buy tickets to see Hamilton when it comes to London's West End. Tickets go on general release tomorrow but my wife Sarah had registered for the pre-sale tickets released two weeks ago. I've never known such anticipation about a musical but the show's been a phenomenon, winning pretty much every award going on Broadway. We'll be going on the same night as some of my Bake Off buddies, Andrew & Tom from last year, so definitely a GBBO night out to look forward to. While Lin-Manuel Miranda's music is the main draw in the show, it's also come at a time when US politics really matters to all of us, globally, particularly in the past few weeks. I've been reading rolling news all weekend and it can be pretty exhausting and disheartening, so often I'll bake just to take myself off social media for a few hours.
The rain and cold weather this weekend has had me looking for a bit of holiday escapism. I did a demo at the Janfest2017 caravan and motorhome show today, compared by their excellent MD Neil Greentree. I showed how to make bread on a camping stove, which always goes down well. We try to go camping/campervanning every year these days as the kids enjoy it so much, and we do too. We're hoping to get away in a trailer tent later this year and we've booked a trip with Eurocamp in the summer, where I'll be taking over their Instagram account while I'm away. I read this really good article yesterday, detailing the 20 best campsites in Europe. I've bookmarked this article to act as a bit of a checklist for future holidays and I was really delighted to see the site we're going to near Venice make the cut. I'm working on lots more recipes to make outside on camping stoves and barbecues and look forward to sharing them when the weather improves. Someone asked me today if I'd ever made a cake on a camping stove so that will probably be a future experiment!
Decorate the sides of the cake with Reese's mini peanut cups (or other sweets of your choice) and make a peanut butter lover very, very happy!
Until next week, Happy Baking!
Wow looks great!! I'm a peanut butter nutter so definitely trying this!
I'm going to need bigger pants.

'I claimed £3k for mis-sold PPI even though it paid out six times while I was sick'
A mortgage holder received a PPI reclaim payout of £3,364 - on a policy he previously claimed more than £12,000 from whilst on sick leave from his job.
Edward, from Glamorgan, claimed for several mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI) policies using the Resolver complaints handling tool on our site - and received more than £24,000 in compensation.
But one of the payouts, on mortgage repayment protection that Edward took out over 10 years ago, stands out - because he claimed against it on six separate occasions whilst sick from work.
See how to Reclaim PPI for free using our guide.
What is PPI?
PPI was an insurance policy sold when you got a product like a loan or credit card. It's designed to cover your loan or credit card repayments for a year in the event of an accident, sickness or, in some cases, unemployment.
Mortgage Payment Protection is a type of PPI designed to do the same, but for mortgage repayments.
PPI in itself, isn't a bad product. But it's been widely mis-sold. The original mis-selling left many paying thousands for potentially worthless cover – and you could even have had it without knowing (see our Mis-selling Checklist for full info).
Remember, you do NOT need to pay a company to reclaim PPI for you – see our Reclaim PPI for free guide for full help.
Edward: 'I was naive about the policy'
Edward has a very good sick pay arrangement with his job, which included six months off at full pay.
So he thought he was mis-sold the mortgage insurance, as his own sick pay arrangement would have covered his repayments if he were to fall ill, which is one of the key things PPI is designed to do.
He said: "When I took the policy out, I was quite naive about it and didn't know much about it.
"It was mortgage repayment protection, so it helped pay my mortgage when I was off sick, but I have a very good sick pay, life insurance and redundancy package arrangement, including 26 weeks off sick at full pay. I put that in as the reason I was mis-sold when I claimed.
"I thought claiming was a faff before this, but I'm subscribed to the MSE emails, and my wife said 'what will it hurt' to claim.
"I went on your site to claim and used the template on Resolver."
In its letter to Edward confirming the payout, HSBC - which sold him the policy - confirmed it was taking away the £12,000 he claimed from the protection before giving him his final payout.
If you've got a PPI policy that you've claimed against previously, it may still be worth seeing if you can be refunded, if you think you were mis-sold.
You can reclaim PPI if you've claimed on the product
As Edward's case shows, you can still make a mis-selling claim even if you've had a redress previously.
It's worth noting, however, your chances of winning could be lower as a payout could be seen as proof of the policy working in your favour, so try to provide as much evidence as possible as to why you think you were mis-sold.
Where a claim was previously paid on the policy, the firm may deduct this from redress paid. If the claim is higher than the amount to be paid then the firm may also deduct the excess from the amount to be paid.
See our Reclaim PPI for free guide for full help.
What does HSBC say?
An HSBC spokesperson said: "HSBC UK reviews all PPI complaints on a case by case basis, whether a customer has made a claim on their policy or not.
"We would take steps to provide redress to the customer, if appropriate, in line with the FCA guidelines."
Claims management firm becomes first to be fined by the financial regulator
A claims management firm has been fined £70,000 by the financial regulator for misleading consumers through its websites and printed materials in a first for the industry

SANDY, Utah (AP) — Jefferson Savarino and Luke Mulholland scored in the second half and Real Salt Lake brought the Seattle Sounders' 13-game unbeaten streak to an end with a 2-0 win on Saturday night.
Nick Rimando made a pair of key saves, both stopping Clint Dempsey's attempts, to preserve Real Salt Lake's lead in the final 15 minutes. Real Salt Lake (12-14-5) moved into fifth place in the Western Conference.
Savarino opened the scoring in the 52nd minute, finishing Albert Rusnak's cross into the far corner from the right side of the box.
Mulholland smashed home Savarino's wide cross with a short-hop volley in the 66th.
The Sounders (11-8-11), despite coming into the match with the club's longest unbeaten streak, had also been winless since Aug. 20 and extended their slide to five games.

Thomas Lux
THOMAS LUX 1946-2017
Acclaimed poet and teacher, born in Northampton, Massachusetts, in 1946 to working class parents, Thomas Lux attended Emerson College and the University of Iowa. He began publishing haunted, ironic poems that owed much to the Neo-surrealist movement in the 1970s. From his first book Memory's Handgrenade (1972), Lux's poetry gradually evolved toward a more direct treatment of immediately available, though no less strange, human experience. Using ironic or sardonic speakers, startlingly apt imagery, careful rhythms, and reaching into history for subject matter, Lux created a body of work that is at once accessible and complex, wildly imaginative and totally relevant. Known for pairing humor with sharp existentialism, Lux commented in the Los Angeles Times, "I like to make the reader laugh—and then steal that laugh, right out of the throat. Because I think life is like that, tragedy right alongside humor."
Lux's first collections, including Memory's Handgrenade and Sunday: Poems (1979), were grounded in the neo-surrealist techniques of contemporaries like James Tate and Bill Knott. Describing his own progress in an interview with the Cortland Review, he said: "I kind of drifted away from Surrealism and the arbitrariness of that. I got more interested in subjects, identifiable subjects other than my own angst or ennui or things like that. I got better and better, I believe, at the craft. I paid more and more attention to the craft. Making poems rhythmical and musical and believable as human speech and as distilled and tight as possible is very important to me. I started looking outside of myself a lot more for subjects. I read a great deal of history, turned more outward as opposed to inward."
Lux's other collections include New and Selected Poems: 1975-1995 (1997), The Street of Clocks (2001), The Cradle Place (2004), God Particles (2008), and To the Left of Time (2016). He was also the editor of I Am Flying Into Myself: Selected Poems of Bill Knott (2017). Thomas Lux taught at Sarah Lawrence for over 20 years, as well as at the Warren Wilson MFA program, and the Georgia Institute of Technology. In the Cortland Review interview, he described teaching's greatest rewards: "you see people get excited by poetry. You see their lives changed by poetry. You see someone beginning to learn how to articulate and express themselves in this very tight art form, in this very distilled manner. You see all sorts and hear all sorts of really human stuff, really human business." His many awards and honors include the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award, a Guggenheim fellowship, a Mellon fellowship, an honorary degree from Emerson College, and three grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.
He was Bourne Professor of Poetry at The Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and directed the McEver Visiting Writers Program and Poetry@Tech. Lux published over a dozen books of poetry; including Memory's Handgrenade (1972), The Blind Swimmer: Selected Early Poems 1970–1975 (1996), God Particles (2008), Child Made of Sand (2012), and most recently, To the Left of Time (2016). See the full bibliography.
Thomas Lux chaired the Advisory Board of the Palm Beach Poetry Festival and participated as teaching faculty in every festival until his death in February 2017. His signature workshop, Word by Word, Line by Line, was always among the first choices of applicants through these years.

Despite its liberal leanings, Republican members and aides have begun heading to the Huffington Post to talk up their views.
When Tom Coburn wanted to pitch his criticism of the Democrats' health care plan last month, the senator's office considered sympathetic media outlets like The Wall Street Journal and the conservative blog RedState.
Instead, the Oklahoma Republican went with The Huffington Post.
Despite its liberal leanings, Republican member and aides have begun heading to The Huffington Post to talk up their views.
That's not exactly how the Republicans see it. While GOP aides say they're treated fairly by Huffington Post reporters, they know that their views are likely to take a beating from the site's bloggers, commenters and headline writers.
But the opportunity for impact is irresistible.
Just as Democrats learned to love — or at least understand — the Drudge Report, Republicans flock to The Huffington Post largely because of the site's broad reach. In April, The Huffington Post brought in a record 8.8 million unique visitors, according to Nielsen — a number that includes quite a few mainstream media journalists and cable news producers.
"With The Huffington Post, particularly, we see a lot of value in engaging with people who wouldn't necessarily be inclined to agree with our point of view," said Coburn press secretary John Hart, who added that it's one of a handful of sites that can have an instant impact on the national debate.
While conservatives like Tony Blankley and David Frum have written for Huffington Post in the past, Republican Aaron Schock (R-Ill.) recently became the first active member of Congress to blog — just after winning the site's "Hottest Freshman" contest.
In his post, Schock wrote that while most Huffington Post readers "didn't vote Republican," he was determined to take a bipartisan approach in Congress. Similarly, Coburn made sure to mention the left's critique of the Democrats' health care plan in his piece — and also emphasized bipartisanship.
They won't be the last Republicans to post at the site.
Indeed, there's sort of an if-you-can't-beat-join-them mindset driving Republicans' increased outreach to the site.
With that kind of cooperation from the right, it's not surprising that Republican points of view have shown up on the site recently.
After House Republicans met with President Obama last month, GOP aides took shots via The Huffington Post, with one source describing Obama as "thin-skinned" in the meeting. While there were blistering critiques of Republicans among the 4,420 comments that followed, the perception of Obama as "thin-skinned" still seeped out into political conversation.

Q: Is Intellij IDEA auto compile and install jar into local repository? A weird phenomenon occurs when I am working with two projects:
A is an open source project I cloned from a git repo, B is my own project that dependents on A.
Since I modified some implementation in A, I build and install it into local repository with mvn install:
A-core_2.10-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
A-core_2.10-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT-test.jar
....

But after a few days, when I found A behaves weird, I found many more jars occur in my local repository:
A-core_2.10-1.1.0-20150521.010136-4.jar
A-core_2.10-1.1.0-20150523.130616-22.jar
....

Does any one have any idea on what happens?
Since I only mvn install once, where does the other jar ...-20150521.010136-r.jar come from? Is it generated by Intellij IDEA?

A: If it's an open source project and you didn't change the version number to a custom one, then this are most probably builds from the open source project itself. If there are newer snapshots available, Maven will download them, if you build your project B.

Their hit "Afternoon Delight" got them a seven-week series and Letterman played a letter carrier. Get it? Letterman played a mailman. He read letters to the band.
It was one of his first jobs in Hollywood after spending four years on the air in Indianapolis as a weather man.

Fourteen-time Grammy winner Chet Atkins (1924-2001) was a man of many hats. At RCA Victor between 1947 and 1982, as a performer, producer and executive, he was a key player in the creation of the "Nashville Sound" which made country palatable to crossover audiences. Indeed, though the style has changed, the pop influence on the country genre certainly hasn't, and fans of Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney and Carrie Underwood all owe something to Chet Atkins. Also one of Nashville's most

In 2006, Eric Clapton teamed with singer-songwriter J.J. Cale for the collaborative album The Road to Escondido. The guitar god had long been a fan and patron of Cale's; he included "After Midnight" on his 1970 solo debut and took "Cocaine" to the Top 30 in 1977. Escondido earned both men a Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album, and it would prove to be among Cale's final recordings. He released the album Roll On in 2009, featuring Clapton on its title track. Then, in 2013, Cale passed

Where Retail Is Going Now

A report just released by JWT Intelligence and presented for the first time at the WWD Digital Forum in New York is a thorough and in-depth look at where the business of retail is going. For most of the history of retail, society has watched stores and brands adapt to whatever changes have happened in the market, their customer base or general culture. Historically, you could see what changes were happening in retail by going into big stores. I keep being surprised that the drastic changes that have come upon retailers in the last several years have major retailers stymied. Now change in retail is harder to see because it's only apparent in the nimble, newer, smaller competitors. Those companies have developed businesses in niche markets where the larger players aren't as active. The JWT report is a great overview of what's trending and what's yet to come that isn't apparent to the average consumer.
The report says that it's not enough just to think about selling products electronically. "The future of retail is becoming less about screens and even less about buttons." It's more about using technology to sell the right products in the right way, "It's one of total immersion, intuitiveness and invisibility…total disintermediation from every previous traditional route to consumer." It's a very different age we're now in. Selling electronically and selling in stores are coming together as one to create the most effective channel to consumers.

Voice-Based Commerce
There are new technologies that will be applicable to retail of every type. The JWT reports points out that "this is a new era of spoken commerce, where…commerce can happen everywhere." That's a little bit of hyperbole but not excessively so, you can see in the chart below that among 18-34 year olds in the US, 68% have a Google Home, Amazon Echo, or Apple iPhone that responds to voice commands. In China, it's even higher, 80%. In an amazingly short time, voice technology has taken hold. It's a natural way to communicate and people have taken to it quickly.
Digital home assistant ownership
According to the research firm Gartner, the share of mobile search queries initiated through virtual personal assistants, such as Siri (Apple), Allo (Google), Cortana (Microsoft) and Alexa (Amazon), will rise to 50% by the end of 2017. Gartner also predicts that by the end of 2017, room-based screenless devices, including Amazon Echo and Google Home, will be in over 10 million homes, and will account for a growing share of commercial traffic.
Selling via audio is not a panacea either. JWT asks, "How do you market and brand yourself over audio channels where you can't be seen and cannot market in the same way?" It's not like radio where you communicate with thousands or millions at one time, the product and the consumer have to find each other in a channel that's one-to-one. Brands have to have something special to get consumers' attention.
Experiences Consumers Want Now
Of course consumers who want experiences are a key point of study in the report. "Experience culture has come so far that it's increasingly becoming the key driver in consumer spending, making the store experience more important than ever," the report says. "This new era is one without cash registers, prices, staff or postal addresses. It's one which is, or soon will be, anticipatory, cognitive, hyper-personalized and diagnostic." What that refers to of course is artificial intelligence, using software to anticipate people's needs, sometimes before the people are even aware of them. The idea is to use technology to make every store experience easy and convenient, two of the most important values to consumers now. "It's a testing time for retail. Pressures on established players in the industry include a move among consumers to prioritize spending on experiences over things—Harris Poll and Eventbrite reported as early as 2014 that 72% of millennials prioritize spending on experiences over material products," the report says.
There are a number of new kinds of experiences that relate to retail because they are great venues for selling products. They are gatherings of like-minded people, that are appealing to consumers. These include consumer summits like Airbnb Open, In Goop Health, We Work Summer Camp and Beautycon festivals. They are ticketed events that combine entertainment with mentorship, entrepreneurship training, community-building, panels, shopping and more. Then there's foodie festivals like the four-day London Coffee Festival with music that would be appropriate at a conventional music-only festival. There's fitness festivals like Virgin Fitness whose CEO calls them, "hard-earned fun." There are brand "temples," retail experiences that highlight one brand. Examples include The Spotted Cheetah, a temporary, pop-up restaurant in New York this past summer where every item on the restaurant menu was made with Frito-Lay branded Cheetos. Every table at every meal was booked before the restaurant ever opened. LG Electronics created a dishwasher-themed water park in New York last summer to promote the launch of a new dishwasher product.
Many events are focused on entrepreneurship among millennials. Many others are appealing because they demonstrate thought leadership and innovation which attracts consumers as learning becomes a lifelong activity. Influencers are also important but not celebrities as much as in the past. What's gaining in popularity is leadership in technology, business, authorship and other entrepreneurial activities.
Augmented Reality (AR) will have a big role to play at retail. It's important when talking about AR to remember that most of the new uses of AR haven't been proven out. But there have been a number of huge hits that imply the technology can be important. You'd have to be just visiting our planet not to know what Pokemon Go was. Another great example is Modiface, although you probably don't know that name. They're the company behind the app at Sephora and other beauty stores that let you see eye makeup or lipstick on your face when it's only there electronically. You select what product you want and look in the mirror and there you are with the lipstick or other makeup in the right place on your face so you know exactly what it will look like on you when you buy it.
America's great pasttime, major league baseball, isn't far behind either. In 2018, they will likely unveil technology that will let you sit in the stands at a baseball game and when you hold up your phone to the field, you'll see information about the players and stats about the game.
AR is going to expand and be available for all kinds of products. Retail analyst George Wallace, chief executive officer of MHE Retail, says, "if you can really see what that dress looks like on you, or what that furniture's going to look like in your living room, or what those curtains are going to look like in your bedroom, I see that as something people would invest in."
Aside from the challenges that any successful business has, retail has a challenge that's bigger than almost any other: to succeed you have to go through or around Amazon.com. The JWT report says, "According to research published by global e-commerce consultancy Salmon in July 2017, 37% of all online global spending is done through Amazon. The same research also found that 53% of the consumers surveyed said they are more likely to buy from Amazon Prime than a retailer's online store." Significantly, it's not just that Amazon winds up with the sale, consumers start there as a matter of habit. According to JWT, "89% of US millennials check Amazon first … each time they make an online purchase." You either sell something they don't sell or you beat them on price or service or you lose to them; they're hard to beat. Hugh Fletcher, Global Head of Consultancy and Innovation at Salmon, said, "put simply, they fulfill their customers' expectations better."
Walmart is not making it easy for competitors either. They are using their scale to fight back against Amazon. Last month they announced a partnership with Google in voice shopping using the Google Assistant. Marc Lore, president and chief executive officer of Walmart eCommerce US, told WWD, "This is just the beginning. Next year, we'll leverage our 4,700 US stores and fulfillment network to create customer experiences that don't exist within voice shopping anywhere else, including choosing to pick up an order in-store, often for a discount, or using voice shopping to purchase fresh groceries."
The technology will also get tougher to beat. Hyper-personalization, making every sale both in-store and online, a unique experience for every consumer in a way that relates to their needs, will become ever more important every day. That level of personalization will be more easily accomplished as artificial intelligence technology develops. There will be more AI everywhere as it works its way into retailers' strategies.
The important thing to remember is that even as the future of what retail will look like begins to form, no one has the answer yet. Even the giants who are investing and making major acquisitions, are going forward without knowing what they're doing will work. The key is experimentation, iterating to find what works best and what should be tossed away. It's going to be very expensive, a lot of money will be lost. But a lot will be made by the winners who find the right formulas.
