More details are in on two Hennepin County commissioners' plans to help Minnesota United build a new stadium in Minneapolis, and it looks like they're offering more than just some future sales tax money, as was reported yesterday. Rather, Mike Opat and Peter McLaughlin are looking to siphon off sales tax money currently going to such things as libraries and youth sports, while doing an end run around Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges on exempting the stadium from property taxes.
Opat and McLaughlin's plan would add United's stadium to the 0.15 percent countywide sales tax that helped build Target Field. Under that legislation, sales tax proceeds were limited to five projects: retiring the bond debt, additional library hours, youth sports activities, operating the Ballpark Authority and capital expenditures around the park.
The soccer stadium would be added to this list, as well as youth sports spending in Hennepin County suburbs.
That's nice that they want to increase youth sports spending for the suburbs, but it's important to note that adding items to the list of things funded by the sales tax surcharge doesn't actually create any more sales tax revenue. Yes, sales tax revenue is currently coming in faster than expected, but adding more items to be paid for out of that fund inevitably means either 1) the tax will have to be continued for longer than it would be otherwise, taking more money out of taxpayers' pockets, or 2) spending on other items on the list will have to be reduced. The Target Field bond debt has to be paid off one way or another, so that leaves only library hours, youth sports, and Ballpark Authority operations on the chopping block — your guess which one will end up drawing the short straw.
The deal would solve one major problem for United, which wants to be free of property taxes. Under Opat's plan, the team would buy the site — for $30 million, according to the team — and give it to the Ballpark Authority.
"They would operate it, we would own it," Opat said.
Mayor Hodges has refused to have the city take ownership of the stadium land, since that would exempt it from the property tax rolls — but the county is likewise tax-exempt, so it could get United its tax break just by agreeing to take on the land itself, thus cutting Hodges out of the loop.
What all this would cost the public is up in the air, since Opat and McLaughlin haven't said how much sales tax money would go to United. And it's all still in the spitballing stages — the sales tax change would need approval of the state legislature, and this hasn't even gotten a hearing from the full county commission yet. Still, it looks even more clear that United is trying to repeat the magic that its co-owners scored with Hennepin County nine years ago, when that body agreed to throw public cash at a new Twins stadium when neither the state nor city would. As I always like to point out, in the stadium-demand game, you only have to put up one win, and you're good forever — or at least, for the couple of decades before it's time to demand a new stadium.
So, the entire point of this post is that this will "take away books or sports!" As of right now, Minnesota United is not contributing to this tax in any way as they are not in hennepin county. You can't say they will take away anything without also including the money they will put in.
If they move downtown, they will instantly contribute to this tax. Do you have ANY figures about how much they would contribute? Or how much would be pulled out for the stadium? I don't see anything other than wild conjecture and scare mongering.
The financial impact of the stadium could be a net benefit and add more books and suburban sports.
It would be lovely to see some real reporting instead of just speculation.
Generally kind of hard to compute anything when stadium deals go from "back of the envelope" to "done deal" without much public scrutiny. This appears to be another case.
How much, exactly, do you believe a soccer stadium that hosts maybe 25 events a year would contribute in tax revenue? The same as an office building filled with people? A block of restaurants and shops open every day? A parking lot?
I think most people would say less than most if not all those options.
The sales tax surcharge isn't a tax specifically on sports — it's on all sales in the county. But if you want an estimate, the average MLS team brings in about $20 million in revenue, which would contribute $30,000 a year in sales tax surcharge money if all that is on taxable sales (which it isn't, since some of it is TV money) and all of it is spending new to Hennepin County (which it wouldn't be, because some of it would be spent instead of on Twins games, etc.).
If you want to count *all* sales taxes, you could get to $1.375 million a year by the same dubious measures. The actual amount of new sales tax revenue thanks to United would probably be in the low six figures at best, so suffice to say that if Opat and Co. want to give United something on the order of $500,000 a year, I won't complain too loudly. Somehow I don't expect they'll stop there, though.
Interesting that this article is coming from the Pioneer Press. I seem to recall when sites were being considered in Ramsey County, most of the critical press on them was coming from the Star-Tribune.
Maybe if we get enough of a Twin Cities newspaper proxy war over MNU's stadium, the stadium itself will be stopped.
My complaint is specifically with THIS tax. I am not debating the over-all subsidy package at this time, only THIS article.
Currently the team is paying $0 into this because they are in another county. If they move to downtown, they would pay into this. So no matter the other tax implications, they would not be contributing to this specific tax.
With that in mind, the author cannot be intellectually honest without including any new additions to this specific tax having the stadium in downtown Minneapolis would provide before he talks about what will be spent out of this tax.
If you want to wrap this into the larger discussion about the tax breaks, please do. But trying to hammer this as a stand alone point is dishonest.
sorry, typo above. If they move to downtown they would *NOW be contributing to this tax.
It seems to me that the author has stated in his comments above that his best rough guess at this point is that a sales tax redirect FBO of a soccer venue would be at least a few hundred thousand annually over and above what the stadium would "pay in".
The property tax exemption might be of more concern. In Santa Clara the 49ers stadium is except from property tax (except on event days) because it's operated under the city's authority. Because the silicon valley is booming right now this is probably a significant opportunity cost to the city/county as an office building wouldn't be exempt from such taxes. I see no logical reason why sports teams should be given special treatment in regarding to property taxes.
Maybe Santa Clara is booming BECAUSE of the Niners' stadium. Ever think of that?
Are you seriously suggesting that Santa Clara is booming because of the stadium? Really? You are saying, with a straight face, that the Bay Area is booming, not because of tech jobs and VC money being shout out of those pneumatic T-shirt guns, but because of the 49'ers? There's a gold rush going on, but the Niner's have nothing to do with it.
Collin: Given that all studies of new stadiums and/or teams have found the sales tax impact to be indistinguishable from zero, it would be dishonest for me to count that as offsetting the very real dollars being given to United under this plan.
The best thing you can say about a United stadium is it might steal a couple hundred thousand a year in sales tax receipts from across the river, if you're lucky. That's not nothing, but it's close.
I recently clicked on some stadium related article in the LAT and an auto play ad from your friends at Goldman Sacs started to play. It (the ad) showed how the Levi's stadium revitalized a downtrodden backwater that is north Santa Clara with one hand.
Let's see where the city is in a few years when reality sets in though.
And maybe Wisconsin is booming because of the PACKERS?
That ad has followed me around for awhile now, popped up again yesterday, don't remember where. I'm 99% sure it's because I make regular visits to this site. Ad tracking systems have apparently been designed with a sense of humor.
Colin: I live just outside of the Santa Clara city limits in San Jose and was a resident of Santa Clara for 17 years. I can tell you that, with the exception of its two outward-facing restaurants, and Niners museum, Levi's stadium has done NOTHING, ZERO, ZIP NADA to enliven or enrich the city. All the "boom" around Levi's was there well before the stadium even got built (thank you Apple, Google, Facebook, Intel, etc. etc.). Five miles from the stadium is the the city's "downtown" (and I use that term loosely) which is still the same sub-par two square blocks it was 10 years ago.
What Levi's brought the city was traffic and noise nightmares for the nearby neighborhoods, the closure of a highly-used youth soccer park (tha the Niners are trying to move for more stadium parking) and bike trail on event days, and an ongoing distraction for the city council and staff which must take away from serving the people to serve the needs of the 49ers.
The upside of the stadium is all smoke and mirrors.
I apologize to people who might be upset with me getting a thread hijacked again. I'm sorry, I just can't help reading these type articles without relating it to what happened in Santa Clara. I live in Mercer Island WA now though. I actually see Century Link field and the Seahawks training facility a lot more than I ever saw the 49ers places. However at least Mercer Island didn't help pay for or subsidize the Seahawks. I really hope the Seahawks get to rain on Santa Clara's parade next year–it would be just desserts.

High Performance Polar Decomposition on Distributed Memory Systems
Dalal E. Sukkari, Hatem Ltaief, David E. Keyes
Extreme Computing Research Center
The polar decomposition of a dense matrix is an important operation in linear algebra. It can be directly calculated through the singular value decomposition (SVD) or iteratively using the QR dynamically-weighted Halley algorithm (QDWH). The former is difficult to parallelize due to the preponderant number of memory-bound operations during the bidiagonal reduction. We investigate the latter scenario, which performs more floating-point operations but exposes at the same time more parallelism, and therefore, runs closer to the theoretical peak performance of the system, thanks to more compute-bound matrix operations. Profiling results show the performance scalability of QDWH for calculating the polar decomposition using around 9200 MPI processes on well and ill-conditioned matrices of 100K×100K problem size. We study then the performance impact of the QDWH-based polar decomposition as a pre-processing step toward calculating the SVD itself. The new distributed-memory implementation of the QDWH-SVD solver achieves up to five-fold speedup against current state-of-the-art vendor SVD implementations. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.

According to latest market research report "Syringes Market Size & Share by Type (General & Specialized Syringes (insulin, tuberculin)), Usability (Sterilizable/reusable (hypodermic, oral) & Disposable Syringes (conventional, safety, prefilled)), Material (Glass & Plastic Syringes) - Global Forecast to 2021", the overall market for syringes is expected to reach $15.99 billion by 2021 from $10.56 billion in 2016, at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period.
This report studies the global market of syringes over the forecast period of 2016 to 2021. the report analyzes and studies the major market drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the world (RoW).
Key factors such as high prevalence of chronic diseases across the globe, rising geriatric population, increasing adoption of safety syringes, technological advancements, and increasing demand for vaccines are supporting the growth of this market. However, the high cost of safety syringes and increasing incidence of needle stick injuries are the major challenges in this market.
On the basis of usability, the global market of syringes is segmented into two broad categories, namely, sterilizable/reusable syringes and disposable syringes. The disposable syringes market is estimated to command the larger share of the global syringes market in 2016. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the increasing use of injectables as a mode of drug delivery, growing aging population, high infection risks associated with reusable syringes, and increasing inclination towards self-administration.
On the basis of type, the global market of syringes is segmented into general syringes and specialized syringes. The general syringes segment holds a larger share in the market. The global specialized syringes segment is expected to grow at the higher rate from 2016 to 2021. Specialized syringes allow for the accurate delivery of drugs by overfilling or under filling, which is a key reason for its growing adoption among users. In addition, other factors such as the increasing use of injectables as a mode of drug delivery and increasing inclination towards self-administration are driving the growth of the specialized syringes market across the globe.
On the basis of material, the global market of syringes is further segmented into glass syringes and plastic syringes. The glass syringes segment is expected to account for a larger share of the syringes market in 2016. Glass syringes are more resistive and reduce the chances of the syringe material reacting with the fluid. These syringes can also be sterilized and reused. On the other hand, the plastic syringes segment is expected to witness higher growth during the forecast period. Factors such as rising awareness about blood-borne infections and increasing inclination towards self-administration are driving the growth of the plastic syringes segment in the global market.
As of 2016, North America holds the largest share of the global market, followed by Europe. However, the Asia-Pacific market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 9.3% from 2016 to 2021. A number of factors such as increasing technological advancement, rising focus of global players on the region, growing number of healthcare facilities, favorable regulatory policies for the approval of new injectables, and rapid growth in the aging population are propelling the growth of the market in the region are propelling the growth of the Asia-Pacific syringes market.
Becton, Dickinson and Company (U.S.), Terumo Corporation (Japan), Medtronic plc (Ireland), Smiths Medical (U.S.), B. Braun Medical Inc. (U.S.), NIPRO Corporation (Japan), Hindustan Syringes & Medical Devices Limited (India), Gerresheimer AG (Germany), SCHOTT AG (Germany), and CODAN Medizinische Geräte GmbH & Co KG (Germany) are some of the key players operating in the syringes market.

CAVS RE-SIGN TRISTAN THOMPSON
CLEVELAND, OH – The Cleveland Cavaliers have re-signed forward Tristan Thompson, General Manager David Griffin announced today from Cleveland Clinic Courts. Per league and team policy, terms of the contracts were not released. In a related move, the Cavs have waived forward Nick Minnerath.
Thompson played in all 82 games (15 starts) in the 2014-15 regular season, finishing with averages of 8.5 points on a career-best .547 shooting from the field, and 8.0 rebounds in 26.8 minutes per game. It marked the third straight season he has played in all 82 games, increasing his consecutive games streak to 288 dating back to Feb. 10, 2012. That is the second-longest active streak in the NBA, behind only DeAndre Jordan's 322 consecutive games played (dating back to March 25, 2011). Last season, the 6-10 forward ranked fifth in the NBA in total offensive rebounds (274) and fifth in offensive rebounds per game (3.3). He recorded 14 double-doubles, while tying for the NBA-lead in double-doubles off the bench with eight. Thompson also led all NBA bench players in total rebounds (511) and offensive rebounds per game (3.2), while ranking second in total rebounds per game (7.6).
During the Cavs' NBA Finals run in the 2015 playoffs, Thompson played in all 20 games (15 starts), averaging 9.6 points on .558 shooting, 10.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 36.4 minutes per game. He registered nine double-doubles, while grabbing double-digit rebounds in 14 playoff games, including in all six games during the NBA Finals.

CAVS AND TRISTAN THOMPSON AGREE TO TERMS
Posted: Oct 21, 2015 by Kenny Roda. Filed under Audio, Blog Posts, Feature Articles | Leave a comment
As the information made it's way around Twitter on Wednesday night that Tristan Thompson and the Cavaliers had come to terms on a new contract, there was no confirmation from the Cavs that this had actually happened. That was until Cavs owner Dan Gilbert took the stage at a special event for Cavs season ticket holders at the Cleveland Convention Center. Gilbert addressed the crowd and said, "Yes it is true."
Gilbert then went on to say they had reached a verbal agreement on a deal with the power forward and were hopeful the actual contract would get signed on Thursday. The Cavs owner then gave credit to his general manager David Griffin and managing partner Nate Forbes for finally getting the deal done.
Thompson's agent Rich Paul told ESPN.com that the deal is for 5 years and $82 million dollars, with all the money guaranteed. The deal also doesn't include a team or a player option.
The 24 year old Thompson averaged 8.5 points per game and 8 rebounds per game last season for the Cavs, but upped those numbers in the playoffs to 9.6 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. Thompson who has missed all of training camp, is entering his 5th season for the Cavs after being drafted with the 4th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft.


The world is fast becoming a zoo of mechanical creatures. Roboworms, spiders, BigDogs, even penguins are walking (or crawling) the earth around us. But these are not real cyborg animals. What if you could get your hands on a real-life, remote-controlled critter?
Today, in a paper in a the journal Current Biology, scientists are describing just that. After strapping tiny computers to the backs of giant flower beetles, they were able to control their flight path, essentially turning them into biological drones.
"In our earlier work using beetles in remote-controlled flight, we showed excellent control of flight initiation and cessation, but relatively crude control of steering during free flight," said Michel Maharbiz, a computer scientist at the University of California, Berkeley and one of the study authors, in a statement. "Our findings about the flight muscle allowed us to demonstrate for the first time a higher level of control of free-flying beetles. It's a great partnership between engineering and science."
Or another sign that the robo-apocalypse draws nigh.
Some scientists have already expressed ethical concerns about turning animals into smartphone-controlled contraptions.
This isn't the first time scientists have morphed an animal into a cyborg. In 2011, researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel implanted computer chips into the brains of rats to test out whether these could be used to substitute for a malfunctioning cerebellum, one of the brain regions that coordinates movement and balance. In 2012, scientists at MIT developed a similar system to Maharbiz's to control moths in flight. And just last year, cockroaches carrying tiny computers on their backs were hailed as next-genertion rescue-and-relief aides.
Although you can now buy a DIY roboroach kit on the internet, most of these other projects are still largely experimental, so it's a good time to start thinking about how they might harm animals or how they might pave the way for more intimate computer-human interfaces. Cyborg insects might become another tech toy, but they are also an interesting tool for thinking about the unprecedented legal, ethical, and physiological consequences of directly combining living things and human technology.


Who wouldn't want to own their own Pizzeria? If you where the owner - you could have as many slices as you'd like. A Pizzeria has gone up for sale in Walla Walla and you might find your true calling - slinging pizza!
Sweet Bazil Pizzeria is on the market and you could own this New York inspired pizza joint. The Pizzeria has been around since 2005 in Walla Walla at 5 South First Ave and now it's up for sale.
The Bowen family are looking to sell their Pizzeria after opening up for business from California in 2005. Co-Owner John Bowen says that the Pizzeria is in good health and that if the right offer doesn't come through, they won't be leaving.
The listing will go on the market this week so look for it if you're interested in owning your own pizza joint (and who wouldn't want that?).

DVD Review: Jericho - The First Season
The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones - Volume One
Transformers (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Jericho - The First Season... yep, it's another serial survival drama. I had kind of wanted to see it when it first aired, but I forgot to set my TiVo to record it. When I first saw the commercials, it was still too far away from airing (TiVo can only look ahead two weeks), and then the next thing I know the show had already aired a couple episodes. Since I only kinda wanted to see it, and since I hate coming in on the middle of a story, I didn't bother to start recording it. And I'm glad. Because this is an awesome show, and watching it on DVD with no commercial breaks and having the next episode available at the push of a button is exactly the way this show should be experienced.
The basic plot is about a small American farming town attempting to survive a nuclear aftermath. The town is called Jericho (same as the show... coincidence?), and is located somewhere in the Wizard of Oz state (psst... that'd be Kansas). The story starts on a lazy afternoon day, hours before everyone sees a giant mushroom cloud out on the horizon. The main character, Jake Green, drives into town to see his pop, the mayor of Jericho. He intended to just get some money and be gone again before nightfall (like any good son), but then it's funny how a giant nuclear explosion can put a kink into plans. Now rather than speeding home, he finds himself trying to save a bus full of children.
Now without power, and without any idea about whether the explosion was deliberate or accidental, the two must come together or else be torn apart... hold on, did I seriously just write that? How cliché. Anyway, this show is absolutely filled with interesting characters. Besides Jake and his family, there's also Gray Anderson, who is running against Mayor Johnston Green in the upcoming election, and who has seriously different ideas about how the town should be run in such a crisis. There's Robert Hawkins, who just moved to Jericho with his family not days before, paid cash for his house, and seems to know more than he's letting on about the explosion.
Furthermore, there's the always cheerful Stanley Richmond, who runs the town's biggest farm with his deaf sister Bonnie. And Mimi Clark, a hot yet bitter-cold IRS agent sent from Washington D.C. to audit Stanley's farm. There's also Heather Lisinski, a cute elementary school science teacher that Jake quickly establishes a liking to, and Emily Sullivan, Jake's former girlfriend from before he left town oh-so-many years ago. And let's not forget Gracie Leigh, the evil-looking old woman who owns the local supermarket, or Dale Turner, the awkward teenage boy who works at Gracie's store. And I could go on, but I've got other things I need to do today! The point is, pretty much every character on the show, major or minor, is in someway interesting.
I don't want to give too much away, so I won't summarize any more of it, but I'll just say that he show continues to show the town's struggle through these perilous times. Sometimes it seems like everyone wants to tear everyone else apart, and other times everybody comes together like best friends. When I first saw the commercials I remember thinking what could they possible do for story once they get to a week or a month after the explosion. Then, when I actually started watching it, I couldn't help but wonder what would coming up on the next episode. Strong writing, a strong cast, and a more interesting plot than I ever expected makes this series a must-watch for yours truly.
The special features include commentaries on several of the episodes, some deleted scenes, an in-depth look at the create of the show, and look at how the nuclear arms race evolved since the end of World War II.

Yes, I'm injured again. My ankles, primarily my left, have been hurting for a while. It took an attempted 9-miler last week to realize something is really wrong. Although I was feeling great, right from the start my left ankle was in agonizing pain. I thought I just needed to warm up, but at only 1.5 miles into the run I had to stop from this sharp pain--which felt like the inside part of my ankle was going to explode out of my leg--and hobble home. I literally hobbled back to the house. From there, I promptly called and made an appointment to get it checked out. I still don't have a clear diagnosis on this injury, but I'm getting an MRI done on Tuesday. Hopefully by then they'll start me on a treatment or physical therapy. I'm incredibly thankful that my doctor told me I can still run, I just need to keep the speed down. I about jumped for joy, as I've successfully completed slow-running with minimal aggravation of whatever it is I'm afflicted with.
In the meantime, I feel I should also get back into strength training. Strengthening all my running and non-running muscles should lower my risk of further injury. Additionally, after I'm all healed, it should also make me faster. I firmly believe my cardiovascular system can handle a faster run, but now my muscles are fatiguing at the quicker paces. Maybe this injury thing is a sign that I need to take care of the strength-portion of running and not just focus on endurance.
This morning I delved back into my fitness training books and decided today's weight-routine would consist of a total-body 21's workout. I love 21's due to their effectiveness in targeting different muscle fibers by focusing on different aspects of the range of motion (ROM) with each exercise. While performing 21's, ensure your form is impeccable and you handle the weighs slowly and controlled. Each exercise consists of 21 repetitions, hence the name 21's, with the first 7 reps being only the bottom half of the exercise, the second 7 reps being the top half of the exercise, and the final 7 reps being the complete exercise. Start with lighter weights as these can prove challenging at first. You can accomplish this workout up to three times a week on non-consecutive days. Be sure to stretch and hydrate thoroughly afterwards. Beginners should start with 1-2 sets and increase up to 4 sets as they are ready. This took me about an hour to finish.
Let me know how you like this workout!

Miley Cyrus Celebrates 13th Anniversary of 'Hannah Montana' With Throwback Photos
Billy Ray Cyrus joined in with a cast photo
Almost exactly 13 years ago, a 13-year-old Miley Cyrus hopped on a plane to LAX and never looked back. March 24, 2006 marked the air date of the very first episode of Hannah Montana, leading Miley catapulting to her spot as one of many Cyrus family members to make a name for themselves in showbiz.

The Disney show ran for four seasons and took fans through an awesomely frustrating series of people somehow not recognizing that Miley and Hannah were the same person. Seriously guys? She literally just put on a wig.
From a string of love stories to cameos by the Jonas Brothers, the show defined hundreds of thousands of childhoods from 2006-2011. Not to mention a crossover episode that combined Hannah Montana with That's So Raven and The Suite Life on Deck to create a combination that was, without a doubt, more ambitious than Infinity War.
Over the weekend, Miley celebrated the anniversary with a string of hilarious throwback photos shared to her Instagram and Twitter. "After Hannah's psychic reading where she was told in 10 years she'd become a big stoner and wear nipple pasties on stage," she wrote in an Instagram story captioning the infamous photo of Hannah doing a shush gesture.

Miley continues to low key lead a double life with her varying phases, switching from bad girl to country doll before settling in a place that's her perfect balance. The fearless star continues with a string of boundary-pushing photos on her Instagram, but maintains her composure as the latest Miley era kicks off with marriage and the hit "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart."

We are Kevin and Kristen Howdeshell, leaders of The Brave Union. We are a husband and wife illustration team based in Kansas City that began collaborating 10+ years ago on our senior thesis stop-motion animation, "A Very Hairy Christmas." (A werewolf Christmas story, of course). Since then we've started a studio and taken on the freelance world of illustration working on projects for magazines, packaging, tshirts, musc album, educational, & our absolute love, children's books.
Growing up, kid Kristen spent many hours drawing the stories in her head in order to share the stapled pages with her family.
Meanwhile on the other side of Missouri, kid Kevin loved super heroes. He drew entire comics in order to give life to the world he imagined. But mostly Wolverine ripoffs.
The love of telling stories, although with many varying methods, has never felt more important to our now grown-up hearts. With three kids of our own, the tradition of the bedtime story, although in reality can be a bit hectic, has become absolutely important to our nightly routine. It's become a time of bonding, sharing, and affection.
We additionally believe this time and the stories shared can be enjoyable for parents too. For this, we hold a high value to craft in our imagery, and partner with authors who have meaningful stories to tell.
As a team, we want to now focus on creating products geared for the family, and invite others who share this value to journey with us.

This mast supports two remote-sensing instruments: the Mast Camera, or "eyes," for stereo color viewing of surrounding terrain and material collected by the arm; and, the ChemCam instrument, which is a laser that vaporizes material from rocks up to about 7 meters (23 feet) away and determines what elements the rocks are made of.

Friday Face-Offs: "I Want You Back" — WINNER!
Somewhere out in the world exists a VHS tape of my friend and me performing a fully choreographed dance to "I Want You Back" in his living room. Were we 11 years old? NO. We were in high school.
Something about this song has always made me giddy and joyful. I could give you a moment-by-moment, running commentary on every awesome thing that happens during "I Want You Back," from the bass lick (sampled by Kriss Kross in "Jump," people don't realize that but it's one of the all-time great samples), to the four snare shots that bring you out of the bridge, to Tito's tortured "Let me live again!" I can't imagine a more exciting pop song.
We'll let this guy serve as a proxy for everyone who's ever sung along, danced, or smiled to "I Want You Back." I love his enthusiasm and exuberance, because that's what pop music is all about, and that's what "I Want You Back" has always meant to me, and the Jackson 5 were totally amazing and I used to rock their greatest hits cassette when I was weeding my parents' garden back in the day.
Also, when Michael Jackson first performed "Man in the Mirror" at the Grammys, do you remember that? Because it definitely wasn't very incredible. What was that?
FFFFFFFFRIDAY FFFFFFFFFACE-OFFS!!!
Friday Face-Offs: "I Want You Back" – 2nd Place
This is the one that got to me.
It's a beautiful arrangement — the harmony on the chorus is a heartbreaker — but even more than that:
Look at that little guy there, sleeping in the back seat.
Who knows what that child had seen?
Who knows what he would go on to see?
Friday Face-Offs. Winning video is next.
Friday Face-Offs: "I Want You Back" – 3rd Place
Hmm … does the beginning of this video get me very pumped to see what's about to happen? "Slide 24," am I very excited about that?
At first I was confused about the beeps; then I realized the video was preemptively bleeping out the "Fuck yeahs!" I was yelling at the screen.
LOL, does this woman know very much about flags and waving flags and "Slide 22's" and whatnot? What is she talking about?
Anybody chillin' very hard in this video? LOL, why don't you spend six years getting a PhD and get back to me, because that's the only way you'll be able to figure out if anyone is chillin' in this video.
Friday Face-Offs: "I Want You Back" – 4th Place
"I Want You Back" starts at 2:50.
(Party doesn't look very fun, by the way.)
BONUS HONORABLE MENTION:
Everybody loves this song. Because this is the best song.
FRIDAY FACE-OFFS!!!
YES! What is that amazing instrument/sound? Because it takes the song to new levels of abstraction and rockin'. And also, makes me laugh a small amount when it first comes on.
Friday Face-Offs! You wanted us back, now we're back!
How did all those ghosts fit on the sofa?
What do we really know about Sweden? Is everything OK over there? Are we sure they need to be throwing microscopic sailor-children around like that?
One beautiful thing about "I Want You Back" is how, when people hear the first couple seconds — the piano glissando, the bad bassline (and I mean the really bad bassline) they get sad. They start getting really, really sad.
And LOL then the energy level in the room drops.
Friday Face-Offs!
Man, it's been a while since we enjoyed a Friday Face-Offs, huh? I haven't done one since Pete Seeger turned 90.
If you know me, and you know what I like to dance to, and you know what gives me goosebumps, then you know I couldn't end this week without a five-alarm Friday Face-Offs.
So lean back, settle in, and turn it up …
… because the subject of this week's Friday Face-Offs is the greatest pop song ever recorded:


He was an unmarried 21 year old farmer from Summerfield, AL when he enlisted as Private on 26 April 1861 in Company C, 4th Alabama Infantry.
He returned to his Company in December 1862. He was killed in action at Gettysburg, PA on 2 July 1863.
Basic information from State of Alabama1, which lists him as Thomas K. Beaty. Details from the Busey's Confederate Casualties at Gettysburg: A Comprehensive Record (2016).

Legislation to reauthorize Title VI provides boost for IU international programs
By Steve Hinnefeld
Federal legislation introduced last month by Sen. Todd Young of Indiana could help put Indiana University foreign language and international studies programs on more solid footing.
Sen. Todd Young
The bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, would reauthorize Title VI of the federal Higher Education Act, providing a framework for continued support of university-based programs that develop American expertise in languages and international studies.
"Title VI centers are vital contributors to the development of U.S. expertise in international education, languages and area studies that is essential for U.S. economic competitiveness and international security," IU President Michael A. McRobbie said. "Sen. Young's bill would ensure the tools are in place to adequately train future U.S. diplomats, business leaders and national security professionals."
Indiana University has long been a leader in Title VI programs, including National Resource Centers and Language Resource Centers. Its international studies, language and culture programs are centered in the School of Global and International Studies, which was established in 2012.
"We are proud of our Title VI Centers, which are the cornerstone of what makes SGIS truly global," said Lee Feinstein, dean of the school. "We are tremendously grateful for Sen. Young's leadership in championing the importance of Title VI in helping ensure America's students are globally ready."
Title VI programs date from the Cold War era as part of America's efforts to compete with the Soviet Union for influence in the developing world. Later the programs were moved to the Department of Education, and their focus was broadened to include non-defense studies and expertise.
IU's first National Resource Center, the Russian and East European Institute, was established in 1958 and has been continuously funded under Title VI for 60 years. The institute coordinates a variety of programming for campus and off-campus constituencies and extensive outreach to K-12 Russian language programs in Indiana and elsewhere.
Other National Resource Centers at IU are the Center for the Study of the Middle East, the East Asian Studies Center and the Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center. IU Title VI programs also include the Center for the Languages of the Central Asian Region, the National African Language Resource Center, the Center for International Business and Education Research in the Kelley School of Business, the African Studies Program and the Global Learning Across Indiana undergraduate program.
While strategically important, Title VI programs are low-profile and easily overlooked. Their funding was cut in 2011 and has remained flat. Future funding decisions will be part of federal budget legislation.
Young's legislation fits into a plan by Sen. Lamar Alexander, chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, to reauthorize the entire Higher Education Act this year.
"The legislation is a real shot in the arm for the Title VI program," said Doug Wasitis, IU assistant vice president for federal relations. "It shows that the Senate is interested in continuing to support it."
The measure also reflects longstanding interest for Young, who met with McRobbie soon after being elected to the U.S. House in 2010 and learned that support for Title VI programs was a high priority for the university. He was elected to the Senate in 2016.
Young serves on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which oversees the Department of Education, and on the Foreign Relations Committee. In a news release, he said reauthorizing Title VI will strengthen America's global infrastructure, advance national security, promote competition and broaden access to underserved students.
