first_imgFresh off the release of their new album, Joyride, powerhouse quintet Kung Fu kicked off their two-night run at the Brooklyn Bowl last night in style. With Natalie Cressman (Trey Anastasio Band), Brandon “Taz” Niederauer (School of Rock), and Steve Molitz (Particle) on deck, the funk army delivered an incredible dose of funk/rock fusion, keeping the dance party alive all night long.The first half of the band’s set featured all new songs from their 2016 album, melting the faces of many with “Vroom,” “Chin Music,” “Daddy D,” and “Speedbump of Your Love.” Cressman and Molitz added their incredibly special influences to a contagious “Joyride” jam, that introduced the Parliament Funkadelic 1978 classic “One Nation Under A Groove,” before returning to the “Joyride” throwdown.The funk bar rose when thirteen-year-old guitarist Brandon Niederauer joined in on a captivating cover of “Maggot Brain.” The level of mastery between young Taz and guitarist Tim Palmieri was relentless, as the two went toe-to-toe for some of funk’s most prestigious notes.Taz later returned for the first encore, a Kung Fu original “S’all Good,” where the band’s high energy held the audience’s attention for a goosebumpin’ funk and blues dance party, before ending the night with the always epic “Paragon” with Ryan Cavanaugh on banjo. S’all GoodRound two tonight welcomes special guest Rob Compa of Dopapod, opening the night with some Shwizz.

Olympic athletes give back

first_imgThree gold medalists, two from the U.S. Olympics team and one from the Paralympics team, encouraged Notre Dame students at a panel on Wednesday to fight for their dreams – and to give the fruits of their success back to their communities. Sponsored by accounting firm Deloitte, the panel featured speakers Cullen Jones, winner of a 2008 gold medal in swimming; April Holmes, the world’s fastest female amputee; and Apolo Ohno, the most decorated American Winter Olympic athlete of all time. Notre Dame was the first stop on a national tour that the athletes are taking with Deloitte. Deloitte is the Official Professional Services Sponsor of the United States Olympic Committee. The sponsorship is a part of Deloitte’s $50 million/3-year pro bono project to put the skills of its people to work for nonprofits. Jim Jaeger, a 1983 Notre Dame alumnus and Deloitte Managing Partner of Talent, introduced the three Olympians. “Deloitte is focused on excellence and service to clients and community,” Jaeger said. “That combined with the Olympics is a great fit.” Jones spoke first, giving the audience a brief description of his background in swimming. “I always had to work very hard at swimming. I was never a child prodigy [cough] Michael Phelps,” Jones said to audience laughter. Jones’s mother enrolled him in swim lessons after he narrowly survived drowning at a local water park — a new hobby that earned him plenty of mockery on the playground. “I was from the inner city, and being a kid that wore Speedos on the weekend put a target on my back,” Jones said. In spite of the jibes, Jones went on to swim throughout high school and college. When he joined the Olympic team, he thought that the criticism was over — but that was before he went to his first Olympic meet. “The French team was talking a lot of smack, saying ‘We’re going to crush these American Olympians,’” Jones said. “Then they stopped the meet because George Bush walked in the room. If that’s not a distraction, I don’t know what is.” Despite the French team’s confidence, Jones said his years of work and effort paid off — “we beat the French team by one-hundredth of a second.” Jones urged Notre Dame students to work toward their goals in spite of criticism, as he did. Holmes said she had a great admiration for Notre Dame and was happy to be able to visit the campus. “This is my first time on campus but I feel like I’ve been here before. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched Rudy,” she said. “Those folks at Notre Dame really like gold. I like gold too — just a different kind of gold. So I’m going to pass my gold medal around for all of you to look at.” As the gold medal circulated through the audience, Holmes said she lost her leg in a train accident eight years ago, but today is the world’s fastest runner in the Paralympics. “I want you to know what a gold medal feels like,” Holmes said. “So you can go and give it back to your communities. I didn’t win that medal by myself and so I pass it around everywhere I go. Be a gold medal winner; be a beacon of light in your communities.” Ohno concluded the panel with his own story of success. Like the Notre Dame business students who attend the nation’s top-ranked business school according to BusinessWeek, Olympic athletes are ‘top-one-percenters’ who excel within their communities,” Ohno said. “You’re all going to make it, you’re all going to be successful,” Ohno said. “But how are you going to give back to your communities?” Like Jones and Holmes, Ohno urged his audience to not just pursue success as professionals, but to seek success as neighbors and good human beings. “There’s no guarantee that you’ll be the next Warren Buffet, the next billionaire,” Ohno said. “But you can control how much effort you put in and how you impact the person next to you.”last_img read more

Vegetable damage

first_imgBy Brad HaireUniversity of GeorgiaAfter repeated hits by tropical storms this fall, Hurricane Jeanne hit Georgia on Sept. 27 and gave what amounted to a final blow to the state’s vegetable crop, says a University of Georgia expert.”Jeanne caught us while we were already down and kind of topped it all off,” said Terry Kelley, a horticulturist with the UGA Extension Service.The pepper, tomato, squash and cucumber crops were the hardest hit, he said. Along with eggplant, sweet corn and snap beans, Georgia farmers have about 45,000 acres of vegetables planted in fields now.About one-third of the pepper, tomato, squash and cucumber crops were harvested before Jeanne arrived, Kelley said.But after Jeanne blew through, 75 percent to 90 percent of the remaining pepper and tomato crops were lost in the fields, he said. About half of the remaining squash and cucumber crops were lost.Most of the damage came from strong winds that knocked plants and fruits to the ground, Kelley said. Wet weather between the storm systems, too, prevented many farmers from applying much-needed pesticides and fungicides to protect their crops from insects and diseases.Because of Georgia’s mild climate, farmers here can plant two vegetable crops a year.This fall’s tropical punches would have hurt less had Georgia farmers harvested successful spring crops to cushion the blows. But they didn’t. The crops were good. But prices were bad, he said.In the southeastern United States, vegetable harvest usually starts in south Florida around February or March. As the weather warms and crops mature, the harvest moves north through Florida into Georgia and then the Carolinas.But a mix of cool, dry and then wet spring weather caused vegetables across the Southeast to be harvested near the same time. This flooded markets and dropped prices.”The vegetable market depends on many factors. You hope at least one of the two seasons treats you decent,” Kelley said. “It’s rare for both to be so bad.”Georgia’s average first day of frost is about six weeks away. It’s too late to start any new vegetable crops, he said. But farmers can try to get what’s left in the fields to markets. Prices are good now, because supplies are low across the Southeast.last_img read more

first_imgAlong with the already well-known Slavonian specialties (kulen, ham, sausage, greaves…), bacon was somehow in the background, and it is with this project that the goal is to popularize bacon through a new product. “Black Slavonian pig feeds ecologically and produces ecological, quality meat. Today’s promotion of the Black Sandwich shows that we in Slavonia have very good and quality products, and the black Slavonian pig, as we say fajferica, is certainly one of the better “, said Vukovar-Srijem County Prefect Božo Galić for Novosti.hr Fried black pork bacon was served in the black pastry, which was found to have a more special taste than the bacon of other pigs, and was proven to have good cholesterol. The goal is to introduce these sandwiches, as a recognizable part of the catering offer of Vukovar-Srijem County. The black sandwich consists of: black Slavonian pork bacon, black hamburger, lettuce, tomato, cheese and fried egg. As part of the 54th Vinkovci Autumns, a promotion of the BLACK SANDWICH (black sandwich with bacon from black Slavonian pigs), a new gastronomic delicacy of Vukovar-Srijem County, was held yesterday in Vinkovci. center_img According to the announcements from Vukovar-Srijem County, the interest of caterers for the black sandwich is great, especially since sufficient quantities of bacon are provided through the VSŽ Agrocluster, and the Black Sandwich should be in a wider offer from next year.  In order for the black sandwich to reach the customer as soon as possible, the plan is to start promoting the black sandwich. The visual identity of the black sandwich was created by the famous Croatian comic book author Dubravko Mataković.  Photo: Fajfericalast_img read more

first_imgA new report has revealed a shortfall in affordable rental properties.But most households in lower income brackets — particularly those reliant on government allowances — are facing significant rental stress if they have to rely on the private rental market.The median rent for a one bedroom property in Brisbane continues to exceed 100 per cent of the entire weekly income of a young person over 18 on Youth Allowance.The median advertised rent for a room in a shared rental property was $180 a week in Brisbane in 2018 — $15 a week more than last year, and representing 73 per cent of Youth Allowance.The situation is only marginally better for those on minimum income. Kasy Chambers, executive director of Anglicare Australia.“It doesn’t have to be this way. We are calling for an urgent investment in affordable rentals for people in need.“And we need a national plan to make renting fair for a generation of people who might never own their own home.” Picture: Toby ZernaCouples with both partners on the minimum wage were in the ‘best’ position, according to the report, with a three-bedroom property in Brisbane absorbing 32 per cent of their household income.Anglicare Australia executive director Kasy Chambers said the rental crisis was getting worse.“Almost all of our major cities have become unaffordable for people on low incomes, but this Snapshot also shows that regional areas failing to offer relief,” Ms Chambers said.“There is a huge shortage of secure, affordable rentals. That’s causing record levels of rental stress and even homelessness. A new report has found a shortfall of affordable rental properties.Despite a doubling of rental stock over the past decade, the report found significant gentrification in the city’s rental market had contributed to continuing rental unaffordability.“If these trends continue, with increased population growth projections for Brisbane and in many locations across the state for at least the next two decades, the issue of affordability will become ever more pressing, and the risks of not doing enough, even greater,” the report stated.

If you thought media were bias on gay marriage, guess what

first_imgYou were right!US media 5x more likely to promote same-sex marriage viewpoints Pew Research Center 17 June 2013 In a period marked by Supreme Court deliberations on the subject, the news media coverage provided a strong sense of momentum towards legalizing same-sex marriage, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center. Stories with more statements supporting same-sex marriage outweighed those with more statements opposing it by a margin of roughly 5-to-1.In the coverage studied, the central argument among proponents of same-sex marriage was one of civil rights. Arguments against were more varied, but most often voiced the idea that same-sex marriage would hurt society and the institution of traditional marriage.Almost half (47%) of the nearly 500 stories studied from March 18 (a week prior to the Supreme Court hearings), through May 12, primarily focused on support for the measure, while 9% largely focused on opposition and 44% had a roughly equal mix of both viewpoints or were neutral. In order for a story to be classified as supporting or opposing same sex marriage, statements expressing that position had to outnumber the opposite view by at least 2-to-1. Stories that did not meet that threshold were defined as neutral or mixed. http://www.journalism.org/analysis_report/news_coverage_conveys_strong_momentumAnd from NZlast_img read more

Basketball Playoffs

first_imgI know a lot of people are excited about the NBA playoffs which are now underway.  The only reason I will check the scores is because the Pacers have made the playoffs this year.To me pro basketball really has no rules.  The referees don’t ever call traveling.  If you are a star, you will never get charging called on you.  The only time there is strategy in the game is the pivotal game in a series.  Otherwise, it is the “stars” who shoot and the others must pass the ball to him.I am still a purest when it comes to basketball.  It is supposed to be a game of 5 on 5 with plays, defense, & strategy.  I fail to find any of these in a typical pro game.last_img

first_imgDemocrat Greensburg attorney Jim Pruett has officially announced his candidacy for the sixth congressional district.Mr. Pruett indicated that he is running at this time because of his concern for the future and the average American’s place in government. Pruett quoted the first Republican president and, former Hoosier, Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address where Lincoln stated that our nation is “a government of the people, by the people and for the people.” But he went on to say we have become a government “Of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.” The candidate explained that he had nothing against being rich, but to have a strong representative government people from all backgrounds must be at the table. “We the people govern our country. Everyone is a part of America and everyone is a part of the American dream.” Finally Mr. Pruett stressed that “we must bring the people back to the power. And with your help that is what I intend to do.”The 60 year old candidate recognized his wife of nearly 40 years, his children and their partners, and his 6 year old Grandson.
