Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, musicians endure first work stoppage in 31 years. But they're still talking.
By Mary Carole McCauley
The Baltimore Sun |
A bitter labor dispute exacerbated by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's financial crisis erupted this week into a lockout. It was the first work stoppage at Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in three decades.
Sunday's decision by the orchestra's board of trustees locking out the players was not unexpected.
Despite the picketers carrying signs reading "I Make Less Than I Did a Decade Ago," the letters to the editor from concerned music lovers and the angry words exchanged by both sides, the nonprofit is all but out of money and has proposed shortening the concert season from 52 weeks a year to 40 and reducing players' pay by about 20 percent.
But negotiations aimed at resolving the impasse are going on behind the scenes. A bargaining session has been scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday. The Players Committee and the BSO said the session will be attended by mediators with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
Orchestra officials say they expect to welcome the players back to work and to resume concerts this fall.
"We will be back at the bargaining table on Friday," said Peter Kjome, the symphony's president and CEO. "Mediators will be there to help assist us in collective bargaining as we work together to reach an agreement."
How the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra found itself in trouble
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra has been in turmoil this month. Here's what you need to know.
The board met Sunday night to approve the lockout, according to a news release issued by the symphony. At 10:30 p.m., the musicians were notified that their key cards would no longer admit them to the orchestra's offices or parking garage and that they would not be able to gain access to the organization's Wi-Fi network.
Less than 10 hours later, about 100 musicians and their supporters began gathering outside the orchestra's administrative offices and performing home at 1212 Cathedral St.
"Great music isn't cheap, cheap music isn't great," read a sign carried by flutist Marcia Kamper. A large black dog wore a sign reading, "Keep the BSO World-Class" — a reference to the proposal to shorten the season. The musicians have been working without a contract since January.
Passing motorists blared their horns in support.
'We've been getting ready for the last few days," said Brian Prechtl, co-chair of the Players Committee. "You're always hopeful because sometimes these things get resolved at the eleventh hour. But we knew we had to be prepared."
According to documents obtained by The Baltimore Sun, the orchestra's management knew by mid-April that it was likely to end its fiscal year Aug. 31 about $1.5 million in the hole.
The first installment of a two-year, $3.2 million grant approved by the Maryland General Assembly might have allowed the organization to proceed with its recently announced summer season — but even then, the orchestra barely would have ended the year having spent all its money.
With Gov. Larry Hogan hesitant to release the funds for the BSO, symphony management abruptly announced May 30 that it was canceling the summer season and informed musicians they would receive their last paycheck for the summer on June 14.
The orchestra couldn't allow the players to come to work if they weren't planning to pay them, and the lockout went into effect Monday morning.

Hogan later said it would be unlikely that he would release the funds.
The BSO's financial situation was much worse than most people realized, documents and interviews reveal
Financial documents and interviews reveal that the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's efforts were predicated on the thinnest of margins and wishful thinking.
"This has been a very difficult day," Kjome said Monday. "The BSO has no choice but to confront immediately its very serious financial issues to help preserve the organization."
A lockout occurs when management bars employees from coming to work. It is the opposite of a strike, which happens when workers walk off the job. In its 103-year history, the BSO has experienced at least five prior work stoppages: strikes in 1937, 1968, 1971 and 1988, and a lockout in 1981.
The longest work stoppage was a 22-week strike from September 1988 to February 1989. During that dispute, visiting actor Ed Asner joined players on the picket line and brandished a placard that read: "No to third-class treatment of a world-class orchestra."
On Monday, musicians told passersby that the orchestra is manufacturing the current financial crisis. They want the BSO to pay them for the summer by drawing additional funds from the $60 million BSO Endowment Trust, on top of the $3.75 million annual draw that is part of the operating budget.
"This is a scare tactic to elicit a very punitive contract from the musicians," Prechtl said. "They're going to balance the budget on our backs."
John Warshawsky, a longtime subscriber and donor who heads the advocacy group Save Our BSO, pointed out that the lockout announcement emphasizes the importance of growing the endowment to achieve long-term stability, without mentioning the hardships that the unexpected loss of the summer's paychecks could cause for 75 people struggling to make housing payments and to pay medical bills.
Estimates are that if the lockout continues until September, players will lose more than $2.5 million in wages and benefits.
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra musicians protest Meyerhoff Symphony Hall lockout
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra announced it will lock out its musicians starting Monday after it could not reach an agreement with their union.
By Phil Davis and Colin Campbell
"Management reaffirms that it considers the growth of the endowment to be of greater importance than the current musicians' well-being," Warshawsky said in an email. "I try to be dispassionate and balanced in my assessments of their motives, but it's really as simple as that."
City Councilman Ryan Dorsey, a Democrat, stopped by Monday's protest and joined in the chorus of criticism. The lockout "is not just an insult to Baltimore, the institutional history, and the arts, but it's an assault on the organized labor of the [musicians]," he said in a tweet. "It's atrocious."

He did not respond to a request for comment from The Sun.
Greg Raelson, acting director of public and congressional affairs for the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, wouldn't discuss the specifics of the BSO negotiations, but said that in general, "Our mediators are there to assist in negotiations however the parties see fit and most beneficial."
Prechtl described the mediators' presence as a "back-channel" tool.
"It's a way to find middle ground so we can begin talking," he said. "You avail yourselves of these tools so someone objective can hear both sides and know their positions."
Meanwhile, he said, musicians will picket every day for at least this week. In addition, if both sides remain at an impasse, the union will consider other measures such as asking the National Labor Relations Board to intervene.
Kjome said he expects the current lockout to last no longer than 12 weeks, which would make it the second-longest work stoppage in the organization's history.
"The BSO expects to be able to terminate the lockout on Monday, Sept. 9," he said. "Work will be provided to bargaining unit employees on that date."
Longtime subscriber Meg Gallucci certainly hopes so.
Gallucci has been attending concerts since she moved to Baltimore in the 1990s. The music, she said, inevitably took her to a different mental place and provided her with a haven from the stress of law school. Since then, the orchestra has become so essential to her that she recently bought a condominium in the city.
"When I decided I was going to move in 2017, I ruled out Mays Chapel in part because of the distance from the Meyerhoff," she said. "The BSO is a big deal for me and part of why I like Baltimore — an important part."

Mother Aubert's medicines, c1895
TLF ID R4201
These are two glass medicine bottles and three cardboard boxes, dating from about 1895, used to package Mother Mary Joseph Aubert's herbal remedies. The two bottles, each with a cork stopper and a large label on the front and sides, contain 'Paramo', a remedy for liver and kidney complaints, and 'Karana', a general tonic. The boxes are labelled 'Paramo', 'Karana', and 'Wanena', and contain treatments for cuts, bruises and wounds. The labels and one box have blue printing, while the other two boxes are orange and yellow-brown. They all have printed text, for example, 'Mother Mary Joseph Aubert's, Wanena, Registered 1894, Prepared only and exclusively by herself under her supervision, Price 2/6, This Preparation is purely vegetable'. The bottles are 11.1 cm and 11.9 cm in height; the 'Paramo' box measures 15.0 cm x 5.6 cm x 3.5 cm, the 'Wanena' box 14.7 cm x 5.7 cm x 3.5 cm and the 'Karana' box 15.0 cm x 5.7 cm x 3.5 cm.

This asset illustrates treatments produced by the nursing nun Suzanne Aubert (1835 1926), who was known in New Zealand as Mother Mary Joseph Aubert - born near Lyon in France, Aubert had permission from her father, a lawyer, to train as a nurse, but she later defied her family by sailing to New Zealand as a missionary recruit; over several decades she established a religious order that eventually received papal approval as the Daughters of Our Lady of Compassion.
It shows packaged remedies that resulted from Aubert's work with Mäori - Aubert was one of the first Europeans to appreciate the medicinal properties of New Zealand's native plants; she learnt to speak Mäori and absorbed the teachings of Mäori women who were tohunga rongoä (healing specialists); she began selling her herbal remedies in 1891, creating her own names for them and utilising her Mäori knowledge and her early training in chemistry and botany.
It is evidence of Aubert's enterprising nature - from Auckland, she moved to the Hawke's Bay area and then to Hiruhärama (Jerusalem) on the Whanganui River (in the south-west of the North Island) where she ran two schools and a dispensary, taking in the sick and foundlings; she supported these activities in various ways, including growing produce, selling medicines, taking gifts in kind, and by an annual grant from central government through her friend, the Native Minister Donald McLean.
It is an example of the practice of quackery - in the 19th century, so long as one did not claim the title or degree of doctor, anyone could practise medicine, and this was commonly known as quackery; the 'cures' were known as patent medicines and were commonly advertised.
It helps illustrate advertising styles of that time - as there were not many doctors, skilled amateurs helped out in times of need, and newspapers were full of advertisements for patent medicines; the advertisements focused on the all-natural, exclusive qualities of the medicines, and thus these 'cure-alls' were found in most settler households, remote or otherwise.
It shows examples of patent medicine - from the 1880s, the reputation of quackery and charlatanism was hanging over the purveyors of many patent medicines and their customers were labelled as gullible; many of these patent medicines, even those for children, were known to contain large quantities of narcotics, and a general fear of addiction was growing; this directly led to the introduction in New Zealand of the Quackery Prevention Act in 1908.
It points to Aubert's adaptability - when the Quackery Prevention Act was passed in 1908, Aubert is said to have committed her medicines back to the Whanganui River; from about this time she relied solely on 'Providence' for financial support, saying, 'It is my bank and it has never failed me yet.'.

Moves to Set Standards for Regulating Free of Expresson initiated
By Media Rights Agenda March 10, 2017 11:40	Updated
Elizabeth R Media Fund Launches Digital Challenge, Calls for Entries 0 10.Oct
Magnum Foundation Photography and Social Justice Fellowship Accepting Entries 0 15.Nov
Prince Zeid Resumes Post as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights 0 07.Oct
The United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Opinion and Expression, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) representative on Freedom of the Media, the Organization of American States (OAS) Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression and the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information have jointly moved to set international standards and conditions under which free expression may be limited.
In a "Joint Declaration on Freedom of Expression and 'Fake News', Disinformation and propaganda" adopted at their meeting in Vienna, on March 3, 2017, the parties expressed concern that disinformation and propaganda are often designed and implemented so as to mislead a population, as well as to interfere with the public's right to know and the right of individuals to seek and receive, as well as to impart, information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, protected under international legal guarantees of the rights to freedom of expression and to hold opinions.
With reference to their joint declarations of November 26, 1999 with 17 others, the parties expressed shock at instances in which public authorities denigrate, intimidate and threaten the media, including by stating that the media is "the opposition" or is "lying" and has a hidden political agenda. These, it noted, increase the risk of threats and violence against journalists, undermine public trust and confidence in journalism as a public watchdog, and may mislead the public by blurring the lines between disinformation and media products containing independently verifiable facts.
The Parties deplored attempts by some governments to suppress dissent and to control public communications through varied measures. These include repressive rules regarding the establishment and operation of media outlets and/or websites; interference in the operations of public and private media outlets, including by denying accreditation to their journalists and politically-motivated prosecutions of journalists; unduly restrictive laws on what content may not be disseminated; the arbitrary imposition of states of emergency; technical controls over digital technologies such as blocking, filtering, jamming and closing down digital spaces; and efforts to "privatise" control measures by pressuring intermediaries to take action to restrict content.
Parties to the joint declaration noted that the human right to impart information and ideas is not limited to "correct" statements, that the right also protects information and ideas that may shock, offend and disturb, and that prohibitions on disinformation may violate international human rights standards, while, at the same time, this does not justify the dissemination of knowingly or recklessly false statements by official or State actors.
The Parties thus adopted the Declaration wherein they set general principles under which States may impose restrictions on Freedom of Expression, referencing Article 20(2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
The Declaration inter alia makes provision to protect individuals against liability for merely redistributing or promoting, through intermediaries, content of which they are not the authors and which they have not modified.
The Declaration condemns content filtering systems which are imposed by a government and which are not end-user controlled as not justifiable as a restriction on freedom of expression.
It provides that:
"The right to freedom of expression applies 'regardless of frontiers' and jamming of signals from a broadcaster based in another jurisdiction, or the withdrawal of rebroadcasting rights in relation to that broadcaster's programmes, is legitimate only where the content disseminated by that broadcaster has been held by a court of law or another independent, authoritative and impartial oversight body to be in serious and persistent breach of a legitimate restriction on content (i.e. one that meets the conditions of paragraph 1(a)) and other means of addressing the problem, including by contacting the relevant authorities of the host State, have proven to be demonstrably ineffective."
While setting standards on disinformation and propaganda, the Declaration makes effort to ensure that Authorities do not use vague expressions to criminalise legitimate expressions. It provides that: "General prohibitions on the dissemination of information based on vague and ambiguous ideas, including 'false news' or 'non-objective information', are incompatible with international standards for restrictions on freedom of expression, as set out in paragraph 1(a), and should be abolished.
"Criminal defamation laws are unduly restrictive and should be abolished. Civil law rules on liability for false and defamatory statements are legitimate only if defendants are given a full opportunity and fail to prove the truth of those statements and also benefit from other defences, such as fair comment."
The Declaration obliges States to provide enabling environments for Freedom of Expression, noting that: "States have a positive obligation to promote a free, independent and diverse communications environment, including media diversity, which is a key means of addressing disinformation and propaganda.
"States should put in place other measures to promote media diversity which may include, as warranted by the situation, some or all of the following: Providing subsidies or other forms of financial or technical support for the production of diverse, quality media content; Rules prohibiting undue concentration of media ownership; and Rules requiring media outlets to be transparent about their ownership structures."
The Declaration urges the media and journalists to, as appropriate, support effective systems of self regulation whether at the level of specific media sectors (such as press complaints bodies) or at the level of individual media outlets (ombudsmen or public editors) which include standards on striving for accuracy in the news, including by offering a right of correction and/or reply to address inaccurate statements in the media.
While calling on all Stakeholders to develop participatory and transparent initiatives for creating a better understanding of the impact of disinformation and propaganda on democracy, freedom of expression, journalism and civic space; the Declaration specifically called on Media outlets to consider including critical coverage of disinformation and propaganda as part of their news services in line with their watchdog role in society, particularly during elections and regarding debates on matters of public interest.


no horsing around for us!!! Can't wait!!!
for tomorrow night they go into a bisque kiln!
Spent the night finishing up some wall pocket vases. Stamping, detailing and painting a few small accents of colored flashing slip.
I'm sure liken' the lichen & moss colors & textures of these wet Spring days.
I was excited when I first saw this on my Instagram feed this morning!
At first I thought it was just some sort of advertisement for new contact lenses.
I almost scrolled right past them.
Until I saw and recognized the Instagram user name.
So take a look closer… they're not just colored contacts.
They change your eye color into a classic Delft china pattern!!! AMAZING!!!
And more importantly, where & when can I buy them???
So these incredible contacts and the images produced are finalists in the museum's contest. Click here to vote for your favorite of the Top Ten Finalists. Voting is open until April 20, 2017.
Looks like one of my Facebook Fans will be joining my Beginning & Advanced Beginning Wheelthrowing Class tonight at Lillstreet. If she's been a "fan" for seven years, I hope I don't disappoint?! That's a lot of pressure to live up to. I may need to step up my game a bit?… and bring a LOT of Oreo's?!!!
Adding handles. Making mugs. Two of my favorite things. No, really.
Hard to believe that we're already planning and scheduling Summer Camps!!!
Winter is finally ending, and I'm just looking forward to Spring.
But these adorable kids make me even more excited to see Summer get here!
The following is my schedule for teaching Summer Camps at Lillstreet Art Center.
I work with the older group of kids who constantly amaze, inspire and entertain me.
Summer camp is a wonderful experience for the kids and teachers who work together on all of the wonderful art projects… and good for the parents who get a few hours off! You can stop by the Front Desk at Lillstreet Art Center, call them or register online for Summer Camps. Registration is already open and filling fast. Click here for online information & registration.
Five days of fun where we start at the very beginning with wedging, centering & throwing. Kids will learn all of the basics, practice everyday and finish with glazing on Friday.
Kids will make their own complete chess set out of clay in just five short days. Thematic sets are encouraged, no ordinary Kings, Queens & Rooks here! Actual chess experience is not mandatory… we'll all learn a bit more along the way! Check?
In this camp, the kids get to play with me and my friend Pam who teaches the metalsmithing portions. In the five-day camp, kids will design and create a full dinnerware place setting out of clay and metal. A lot of creative design & brainstorming to come up with their amazing themes. Two days of clay, two days of metals, and a lot of Friday fun finishing place settings and celebrating with a class Potluck Lunch!!!
More mud spinning & flinging as the kids learn how to wheelthrow from beginning to end. From wedging to glazing and every "muddy" step along the way!
In this camp the kids will each build their own sculptures after being inspired during a field trip to the Art Institute of Chicago and Millennium Park. A dash of art history will serve them well as they work on their own large-scale masterpieces!
At this point in the summer, many campers have already taken a couple camps. Some of them have already thrown on the wheel, some of them have handbuilt pieces with clay. This week we're going to do both – working to incorporate all of their skills into their pieces.
If you're interested in sending your kids to Summer Camp at Lillstreet, click here for their website. And then sign the kids up fast…. spaces are filling quickly!!!
It's a "shame" that kid's don't like playing with clay?!!! Ha!!!
WE ALL LOVE SUMMER CAMP!!!
Another batch of mugs. Another round of stamping.
I had a customer request a certain color glazed mug the other day… and when I checked my mug inventory, I was a little surprised to NOT have any on the color she wanted. So I'm back making more of my favorites… thanks to Rosene for a little mug motivation!
So here's the latest batch of mugs-in-the-making. Porcelain cylinders thrown and then stamped… and the stamps that did the magic!!!
So for now they're all under plastic for the evening. Plan is to get them all trimmed tomorrow, make some more things… and then if all goes as planned, maybe even get handles on these tomorrow as well. Hard to work when your fingers are crossed.


"Bloody Sunday," March 7, 1965, was a significant milestone in the Civil Rights Movement. That day some six hundred demonstrators marched east out of Selma, Alabama en route to the state capital in Montgomery. They got only as far as the Edmund Pettus Bridge six blocks away, where state and local lawmen attacked them with billy clubs and tear gas and drove them back into Selma. Media coverage of the confrontation galvanized the American public and inspired President Johnson to call for new voting rights legislation.

When police stop a driver suspected of driving under the influence, it is not uncommon for them to perform a whole range of tests on the individual in an attempt to gather evidence of impairment. The problem with these practices is that they are largely subjective. Even when electronic breath test tools are employed, the human element can still lead to errors.
In Tennessee, field sobriety tests have been successfully challenged in many cases. The key is often having an experienced attorney at the helm of the defense effort when the matter reaches the court. Considering that the consequences of a DUI conviction can sometimes undermine a person's entire life, when clear questions about test results are unanswered, it may be worth pressing a legal challenge higher up the court system ladder.
Three defendants are doing that right now in Florida. Their cases received a hearing before the Florida Supreme Court this week. The three are attempting to get court-ordered access to computer software used to control breath testing machines. Their suspicion is that a review of the program will bolster their claim that the readings from the machines aren't exact. If the justices grant the request, it could affect DUI cases across the state.
The three defendants had succeeded in winning a ruling from a judge ordering the manufacturer of the Ontoxilyzer 8000 to provide the software, but a circuit appeals court reversed the order. The defendants then elevated the issue to the state's high court.
Setting the stage for the appeal is the fact that several circuit courts in the state have split on the issue when faced with similar requests.
The thing to remember is that while laws are written and documented, they are regularly undergoing revision by virtue of challenges like the ones in this case. That's why it's important for anyone facing DUI charges based on field sobriety tests should seek out an experienced attorney for consultation.


The House of Representatives in the US Congress by unanimous consent on December 5th passed a two-week resolution to preserve government funding and stave off a partial shutdown. A couple of hours later, the Senate approved the two-week government funding bill, just ahead of the December 7th deadline for sending the bill to the White House. The resolution postpones the funding deadline from December 7th to 21st, a week after Congress's initial "get-out-of-town" date of December 14th.
The resolution extends funding at current levels for a slew of government agencies, including the Departments of Homeland Security, State, Interior, Justice, Transportation and Commerce, among others, until December 21st.
The legislation will push the fight over the US-Mexico border wall up against the Christmas holidays. President Trump is demanding that Congress include at least $5 billion in funding for the wall in legislation to fund the rest of the government through the next fiscal year. Democrats have only agreed to $1.6 billion in funding for border security.

Evidence for Um el Tuweisat
Type Ethnography
Location Sudan
Rules 2x3 board. Three counters in each hole. Players sow from any one of their holes. Sowing can occur in the following directions: From the leftmost hole, clockwise; from the rightmost hole, anti-clockwise; from the center hole, the player may choose either direction. If the final counter falls into a hole in the opponent's row containing one counter, making it now contain two, these are taken. If the holes before them also contain two, in an unbroken sequence, they may all be captured. Single counters cannot be sown. When neither player can move, the single counters in each player's rows are taken by the player belonging to those rows. The player with the most counters wins.
Content "2. Um el Tuweisat, or The Little Goat Game. This is a children's version of Um El Bagara. Each player has three houses, and each house contains three counters. Single counters are "eaten" in the manner described for Um El Baraga and directions of movements of counters are on the same principle as for that game." Davies 1925: 141-142.

Ferry driver helps nab burglary suspects
Ferry driver recognized car, stayed on water until deputies arrived
Posted: June 12, 2014 4:58 PM
Collin Schubert and Lucas Wille
DANE, Wis. — An operator of the Merrimac Ferry played a role in catching a burglary suspect sought by deputies, according to a release from the Dane County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were called to Dane Electric on West Main Street in the village of Dane at 1:50 a.m. on Wednesday for a report of a burglary in progress.
The burglars fled with four guns power tools, but an alert neighbor took a photo of their car, according to deputies. Deputies gathered more information on the car and aired a description of the suspect vehicle.
The Merrimac Ferry operator was listening to a police scanner and recognized the vehicle as one of the cars on the ferry. Deputies said he contacted authorities and delayed the ferry's arrival until Sauk County deputies were waiting on shore.
Deputies said they searched the car driven by Lucas Wille, 28, of Merrimac, and found some of the stolen property.
Collin Schubert, 23, was arrested as he left his home on South Street in the village of Dane. Deputies said Schubert was armed with a handgun reported stolen in the burglary. Deputies said they found additional items from the burglary in his home.
Both were arrested on suspicion of burglary while armed.


Take control of your dirty boost tone with the Electro-Harmonix Crayon overdrive pedal. This modern take on a classic dirty boost puts independent control over bass and treble bands in your hands, allowing you to contour your overdrive tone. Need a cutting midrange boost? Sure the Crayon can provide that, but it's also great for beefing up your bottom end or adding air to your highs. What's more, the Crayon can be all the distortion you need, but we were even more impressed by how it sounds when you couple this dirty boost with an already distorted tube amp.


thanks for answer. when I add cheese to the Perlini search it worked much better!
Perlini is a type of fresh mozzarella (http://www.premiumgourmetcheesecompany.com/what-is-perlini-mozzarella/); that are tiny balls about the size of a small marble. Alternatively, one can use fresh mozzarella, diced to 1/4 inch. I corrected the recipe.

Chris Hipkins elected as New Zealand's 41st prime minister
World Materials 23 January 2023 04:47 (UTC +04:00)
Chris Hipkins, the minister of education, police and the public service, on Sunday was elected as the new leader of New Zealand's ruling Labor Party and the next prime minister, according to the New Zealand Herald, Trend reports citing TASS.
He's set to succeed Jacinda Ardern, who announced she was resigning.
Ardern is now expected to submit her resignation and Hipkins will then be sworn in to his post as the country's 41st prime minister. The next prime minister, who has earned the nickname of Chris Fix It Hipkins as he often was given crisis management jobs in the government, is scheduled to chair his first cabinet meeting on January 25.
He picked Carmel Sepuloni as his deputy. Sepuloni is currently a minister with portfolios including social development and employment.


For many Americans, monarch butterflies are a sign of changing seasons.
In the late summer and early autumn, the butterflies fly south, from Canada and the United States' mainland to Mexico.
But Darlene Burgess still keeps seeing the bright, colorful insects �C and she lives in Canada.
Burgess keeps counts of Monarch butterflies at Point Pelee National Park in Ontario. "As nice as this [the large numbers of Monarchs] is to see, I really wish I wouldn't see it because they're running out of time," she said. "It's really not good for them."
Monarchs are not just staying in Canada. Groups of them have been seen north of the Mexican border, such as the American state of New Jersey. Their large numbers are not normal for late October.
Monarchs normally arrive in Mexico around November 1st. The number of "stragglers" in Canada and the U.S. is "definitely new territory for us," said Chip Taylor, a biology professor at the University of Kansas. He also is the director of Monarch Watch, an organization that studies the butterflies.
There are a few reasons why the monarchs did not fly south when they were supposed to. Some monarchs were born late. Some did not move south because of warm weather. Others could not fly south because of strong winds that lasted for weeks.
Now, they may be stuck because temperatures are starting to fall.
Elizabeth Howard is a biologist and director of a non-profit group called Journey North. She said the Monarch's muscles do not work well when temperatures go below 15 degrees Celsius.
If the butterflies do not freeze, they are likely to starve to death because many of the plants they eat are gone for the season, Howard noted.
Monarchs have faced a number of problems in recent years. Habitat loss, climate change, and chemical pesticides have hurt the butterfly population, said Lincoln Brower, a biology professor at Sweet Briar College. Brower has been studying the butterflies since 1954.
The colorful creatures also have a decreasing food supply �C especially in the form of milkweeds, which are the only food they can eat when they are caterpillars.
Taylor notes that this year may not be as bad as some of the most recent years. The 2013-2014 season was especially bad.
"Not all is lost," he said.

You'd be surprised
Wed Jul 11, 2018 15:47
Marley had seated herself next to Dade and he wiped suddenly sweaty palms on his jeans. He was about to say something, but first Marley was talking and then there was a loud crack and there were house-elves bustling all over the place with platters of food. Dade felt nauseous, not hungry, even though he hadn't eaten very much yet that day. There was too much anxiety and uncertainty surrounding RMI for Dade to even think about eating. Fortunately, the smell of the bonfire overwhelmed whatever food smells were wafting around the room. Hopefully if Marley ate something, she would choose something that didn't have a strong scent. Even if you were warning someone about someone else being evil, vomiting on them probably wasn't a way to make an ally. And Dade, for all his usual disregard for societal niceties, needed allies at that particular moment.
"I have to talk to you about something," Dade said quietly, leaning forward so that Marley would hear him. He didn't know who was listening, and he didn't want Connor or Claudia overhearing. It would be just like them to follow him to the Lyra fire when both of them were in Cetus, just to ruin his night. Now that Connor was prefect, they might even be confident enough to try and hex him right there, in the Finer Diner. There was nowhere safe. Dade wondered if the protections he'd put on his dorm room last term were still there, or if they had been cleared over the summer. If they had been cleared, he was in for a long night putting them back.
"You know how Claudia attacked Holland last term? Well now Connor is on her side and they're both after me and I think they might be after you too now. Because you've got a girlfriend." Hazel eyes flicking around the Finer Diner to make sure nobody was visibly watching him, Dade continued. "Holland and Rose helped me put protections on my dorm room last term after Claudia got me in trouble when she was planning to attack me."
There. Now Marley knew. Dade thought that he might have to invite Marley to self-defense club, except for if Remington was there he couldn't do self-defense club anymore. Then Claudia would know exactly how he knew to defend himself. No, the better thing to do was to focus on learning things by himself, things that the others wouldn't know. He could spend some more time in the library. Maybe he could learn a spell that would make it hard to see him or something, which would allow him to safely spend time in the library, or even the Cetus common room. That would be nice. All he wanted to do was be left alone, but Dade knew that Connor and Claudia weren't going to let that happen, especially now that Rose was gone.
He needed to be ready for war.
Have things really changed that much? - Marley Chapman, Sat Jul 7 23:12

Not sure what you think you're promising, though - Marley, Thu Jul 12 21:47

A surprise, we just went over this - Dade, Wed Jul 18 17:32

What is the Best way to perform Model comparison without using JMP Pro?
What is the Best way to perform Model comparison without using JMP Pro? Does an Addin exist to do the same?
Re: What is the Best way to perform Model comparison without using JMP Pro?
Generally speaking you can recreate much of the contents in piecemeal fashion within JMP wrt to the report elements generated by the JMP Pro Model Comparison platform. The biggest challenge is you'll have LOTS of JMP report windows open simultaneously and comparing specific report elements across the windows may get visually overwhelming.
For example, to recreate say, the JMP Pro Model Comparison report element for Actual vs. Predicted value scatter plot (which I find to be one of the most telling visualizations when comparing model performance in the Model Comparison platform) you'd have to dump each model's actual vs. predicted values into separate columns for the predicted values in one central data table and then maybe some kind of Overlay plot in Graph Builder? For the Prediction Profiler, you'd have to one by one manually manipulate each independent model's Profiler slider bars. Yikes...by the time you cajole all this...over multiple separate projects or practical problems...I'm thinking your time is the most costly commodity wrt to your company...and you've paid for a JMP Pro license in just your time.
I do not know of a JMP Add In that recreates this environment.


Wow! It's been almost two years since I originally shared my self tanner routine. Oddly, not much has changed. I've added in one key product, but the rest of my self tanner staples have stayed the same.
As you may know, I have a full time job outside of blogging, so I'm stuck inside most of the day. This being said, my skin misses out on a lot of sunlight. In high school, I can remember heading to American Tan Stand EVERY SINGLE DAY after school or softball practice and fake baking. I cannot believe I let myself do that. Now, I lather on SPF 70+ (not kidding, my mom buys this), or relax in the shade most of the time if I am outside. But, I personally still enjoy having a little color on me that looks natural, and that's where I have fun with self tanners.
I'm always jealous because my dad can be outside the entire day and walk inside un-burnt with bronzed skin. My mom, though, has red hair and freckles, and she has had more than enough dermatologist visits reminding her to stay out of the sun. My skin growing up was like my dad's, but I feel like when I turned 20, things started to cross over. I had my first skin check in college, and it didn't go as well as I wanted. My dermatologist found a few moles that weren't healthy looking, as well as spots that needed to be tested. After they biopsied these spots, they let me know they were abnormal. I now go to the dermatologist every six months and to-date, I have had multiple spots removed which all classify as minor surgeries. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have your skin checked! Although I hate my scars from these, I can't imagine what my skin would look like if I had let these go unnoticed.
After my first skin check, I started to look into self tanners and spray tanning. In the past five years, I have become the go-to person for my friends if they have questions about either. They know I'm the girl who's tested out everything and EVERY place.
The self tanners and suggestions I've rounded up today work on all skin types and tones. They are a variety of price points, but I would say you need to watch price point based on your complexion and the way your skin reacts to sunlight. I'll dive into this more on the separate self tanners below.
Before you put on a self tanner or get a spray tan, you should shower and exfoliate. If you don't remove any excess skin or dirt on your body, your tan will come out streaky. You also should do this right before because you won't be able to shower for, in my opinion, at least 8-10 hours after you put on self tanner. To avoid the weird smell self tanners give, this will help. To exfoliate, I just use Bath & Body works shower scrubs. The stress line is my favorite (it smells super minty).
Along with exfoliating, make sure you shave. You cannot shave after you apply self tanner or get a spray tan; it will take the tan off. Also, do not use a dull razor. If you have any bumps or spots from shaving, they will fill with self tanner and discolor.
If your'e applying a foam self tanner, USE A MIT. Truthfully, I went all of college without doing this and I think not spending that $6 is one of my biggest regrets. The insides of my fingers and my nails looked disgusting after application. A mitt, like this one, will create an even tan and I've found it's easier to get to hard-to-reach spots, like your back, with.
I will let you know how long the self tanners I use below last, but I put on self tanner once a week, on Thursday evenings. This gives me the chance to shower in the evening, apply tanner, and then when I shower again in the morning or Friday after work, my tan is ready for the weekend (Spray tan at least 24 hours in advance of your event-NOT the day of)! If you are afraid you're too dark-don't shower no matter what! You will fade when you shower after waiting, I promise. If you shower too early, you'll streak and have water spots. I also revolve using self tanner/spray tanning around when I wash my sheets. Do not plan on sleeping with anything light colored right after use. In fact, I put a towel on my pillowcase if I get a spray tan.
Like I said, I've tried every self tanner under the sun, but these won my self tanner review over. Yours may be different, as we all have different skin, but I hope this list is helpful for you!
I'm sure you've seen St. Tropez all over the internet and magazines winning best self tanner awards. This continues to be my go-to. This is what I use every Thursday. I apply with my mitt all over my body. This leaves my skin streak-free and is instant; however, it does continue to develop throughout the next few hours. I like to put on two layers of this, sometimes three on my legs. I would say this lasts 5-7 days on my body. I would recommend this to skin types that are fair-medium-or naturally tan. If you have olive skin or freckly skin, this is going to look un-natural. This is also a higher price point (about $50 for the large bottle), but the bottle lasts me 4-6 months, which is cheaper than getting regular spray tans. Right now, you can get the St. Tropez self tanner HERE on the Nordstrom sale in a package deal!
I discovered this product this year from a fellow blogger. I loved how natural her tan looked and how this was specifically built for your face. It's also incredibly easy to apply. This product is a glass bottle of drops. You mix it with your moisturizer (I use this from Nordstrom, it's pricey, but doesn't make me breakout). I add 3-4 drops for an even, medium tan. It's best to put on at night before bed and let it stay on your skin while you sleep. It won't come off in the morning in the shower, but I don't wash my face the next morning just in case.
Although this is also pricey, I have had the same bottle for three months now and it isn't even 1/3 gone. A lot of times St. Tropez made my skin unnaturally dark, so Tan Luxe has saved me!
I stumbled upon these on the Cartwheel app in 2017 and decided to try them out (since they were on sale, why not?!). They threw me off because the towelette is clear! It's basically like wiping a makeup remover wipe (that's what it looks like) all over your body. Although it can be difficult to cover all areas of yourself, these gradually develop into very natural-looking color – if you use, make SURE you wipe that thing ALL over yourself to keep it even. I would recommend this for medium skin tones (look at my skin if you're wondering, as it worked for me). These are only $8-10 and have six wipes/box. They're great for needing a tan the next day – not instantly instant like St. Tropez.
I found this at my favorite spray tan boutique, Shine, in Omaha. If you're looking for a refresh on your spray tan or tanning just your face, this should be your go-to. This also works for any skin tone and type, as it's a spray. I would call this a spray tan in a can. It is very natural-looking color and as long as you spray a few inches away from your face, it applies evenly. Honestly, I've used it on my whole body when I'm feeling gutsy and want to be darker! Random, but this is what I've heard they use on the dancers for DWTS. This is the same price point as St. Tropez, and I think it lasts about the same length of time.
Be sure to let me know if you try any of these – or if you have any questions on either self or spray tanning! What do you currently use?!

Minnesota's Local Source for Film Music and Reviews
Review: The Dilemma (2011)
The Dilemma (2011)
Directed by: Ron Howard
Premise: A man (Vince Vaughn) discovers that his best friend's wife (Winona Ryder) is having an affair. As he tries to decide how to handle this knowledge, the secret wrecks havoc on his own life.
What Works: The performances of The Dilemma that really stands out come from Kevin James and Winona Ryder as the troubled couple. James shows much greater acting range here than he has in the past and Ryder alternates effectively between being sadly empathetic and cruelly manipulative.
What Doesn't: The Dilemma is a disappointing effort by Ron Howard, who is usually an interesting filmmaker who creates original and compelling films. The Dilemma is neither and it may be the first time Howard can be accused of lazy filmmaking. (Even The DaVinci Code, as bad as it was, at least had ambition.) This film starts out with a great ethical crisis for its lead character but throughout the middle of the story, The Dilemma fails to create any credible tension around the secret held by the protagonist. Instead, the story sets Vaughn's character on some very stupid misadventures that don't seem motivated by plot or by character so much as they are goofy scenarios invented by the screenwriters to fill time. A lot of the laughs of The Dilemma aim for awkward humor but so much of it is so painful to watch that it turns off the audience rather than engaging them. The conflict of the story never really moves beyond the initial scenario; although the film introduces some interesting subplots, such as the protagonist's past gambling problems, these are not carried out to a relevant conclusion.
Bottom Line: The Dilemma is a mediocre film. It presents a compelling scenario but what should be a comedy of errors is just an error-ridden comedy that isn't very funny or insightful.

Suspect in financing terrorists in Syria and Iraq detained in Moscow
Category: World
Shafaq News/ A man suspected of financing a terrorist organization in Syria and Iraq has been detained in Moscow, Yulia Ivanova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Investigative Committee's Moscow department, told TASS on Friday.
"Thanks to the joint efforts of the investigators of the Russian Investigative Committee's Moscow department and operations staff, one more man, born in 1978, suspected of a crime, was identified and detained. The search of his apartment yielded bank cards, electronic storage devices, and technical gadgets," she said.
According to the investigators, the suspect joined a community in a mobile app organized by Alim Begiyev, who recruited people in the Moscow region willing to sponsor a terrorist organization in Syria and Iraq. The community numbered some 30 participants, who raised money on their bank cards and transferred it to the accounts of members of an illegal armed group taking part in hostilities. The money was used to maintain the logistics arms of terrorist organizations. Bergiyev was earlier sentenced to 17 years in a high-security prison. His accomplices were also found guilty and sentenced to lengthy prison terms.
The case against the detained man is being investigated under part 1.1 of article 205.1 of the Russian Criminal Code (abetting terrorist activities), which carries a punishment of up to life in prison. Charges will soon be brought against the man.

Somerset County Cricket Club and Somerset Cricket Board have teamed up to offer local schools an amazing opportunity.
Six schools will then be selected at random from all those who enter.
Those six schools will then be allocated a country to study.
The six schools will then need to create a 10-minute presentation, to be delivered by up to 10 pupils, on their allocated country (Australia, New Zealand, West Indies, Pakistan, Bangladesh or Afghanistan).
The title of this presentation will be: "The Culture of Cricket".
This may cover any aspect, including: history, geography, religion, exports, culture, cricket history, importance of the sport within the community etc. Pupils can present in any way or form they would like to. A laptop, projector and screen will be available if required.
The presentation will be made in the Long Room at the Cooper Associates County Ground on April 29th to a panel that will include: Somerset County Cricket Club's Strategy Director, SCCC's Media & Community Executive and Somerset Cricket Board's Youth Development Manager.
The winning school will be the 'Guard of Honour' and welcome the teams on to the field for the Somerset v Sussex Sharks Vitality Blast game on Sunday July 28th.
For more information please email scott.chappell@somersetcricketboard.org.
The closing date for entering the competition is Monday March 4th.
Schools will need to be available to attend the Cooper Associates County Ground for the presentation, tour and coaching session on Monday April 29th and on the allocated match days.
The six schools that are selected at random will be notified by Friday March 8th.


"Madame B," the work shown here (in the collection of Julie Etulain), isn't a new piece, but shows "exactly what I have in mind. It was done by covering a monotype plate with ink and then systematically removing it to create the figure and her dress. I'm not sure if I'll focus much on figures, and I'm not sure if I'll maybe try out some linocuts," says Klein. "It's easy to see how this idea would work with that medium. I've also bought sets of Inktense pencils and sticks. So drawing, drawing, drawing. It's a very open time," the artist observes.
Her art career really began with an interest in fabric and color going "all the way back to when I learned to sew when I was about 4." Then, in 1982, she got an MFA in textiles from USU with a minor in printmaking. For many years, she worked as a dyer, "creating art to wear from hand-dyed silk fabrics, mostly using a variety of traditional Japanese techniques." Dyeing, she says, "gives you an understanding of color right down to its guts, and to this day nothing fascinates me more. I could stand around all day mixing inks. In the last 15 years or so I returned to printmaking, mostly making monotypes which are often hand-colored with oil glazes.
"I've done a lot, a lot of teaching, a lot of different media, a lot of art work. I'm doing less now, but still learning, still enjoying it." Klein's website is www.kleinpaceart.com.
