<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In the midst of Adelaide&#8217;s first official heat wave in November, with scorching temperatures hovering around 40 degrees CPA Congress forged ahead last week at the Adelaide Convention Centre in South Australia.</p>
<p>Despite the temperatures, it was an energetic, motivational and inspirational three day program covering a range of finance, business and leadership topics from a South Australian economic update, to water resourcing and distribution, to the compelling front line stories of a journalist.  </p>
<p>Our team was out and about capturing the Congress experience on film.  Watch what delegates had to say about CPA Congress on CPA Australia&#8217;s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/cpaaustralia">YouTube Channel</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Vendredi dernier, je me suis rendu au Club Soda, juste avant le début du spectacle d&#8217;Antoine Gratton pour faire un vox-pop. Je sais pas c&#8217;est qui ce gars là, mais son auditoire est composé à 75% de filles, et 25% de gars qui suivent leurs blonde. Y doit être bon, c&#8217;est surement ça. Antoine Gratton était là pour <a href="http://www.myspace.com/coupdecoeurfrancophone" target="_blank">Coup de Coeur francophone</a> et j&#8217;y était pour Urbania. Quand j&#8217;ai entendu &#8220;Coup de coeur francophone&#8221;, tel un élève de secondaire 3 dans un cours de français, j&#8217;ai analysé le thème de la chose. J&#8217;en ai parler à Kristia(Coordo) et après une laborieuse délibération, ont est venues à la conclusion que c&#8217;était le français.</p>
<p>Donc on a fait un vox-pop super français, avec bérêts, gavrotte, bouteille de rouge, baguette de pain, tailleur et gilet de petit marin.</p>
<p>Je dois admettre que ça été plus difficile que prévus. Pas de trouvé les participants, mais bien de s&#8217;installer! On avait un rectangle d&#8217;à peu près 1 mètre par 2 mètres pour installer un background, du monde qui se font prendre en photo, l&#8217;éclairage et moi. Well. Finalement, on en est sortis vivant et ça même très bien été! Les gens ont été très participatifs, autant plus jeunes que moins jeunes.</p>
<p>(Clique sur la face d&#8217;Émilie pour aller voir la galerie)</p>
<p><a title="galerie" href="http://urbania.ca/canaux/photoreportages/862/de-gene-simmons-a-pierre-richard" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone" title="Émilie" src="http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/4774/img0983c.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="640" /></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://htdcrave.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/slide1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-549" title="Slide1" src="http://htdcrave.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/slide1.png" alt="Slide1" width="510" height="382" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Written by Georgie Sutton.</strong></p>
<p>Jim Wallis is somewhat of an evangelical Christian social justice stalwart.  As such, he&#8217;s a bit of a hero of mine!  <a href="http://blog.sojo.net/2009/09/25/discrimination-in-services-no-protection-of-faith-identity-yes/">This article</a> (link to Wallis&#8217; blog) has been written in response to calls in the U.S. for Bush-era legislation allowing &#8220;discriminative&#8221; employment by religious organisations to be overturned.  The question was posed in the Washington Post: &#8220;<strong>Should religious charities that receive federal grant money be allowed to discriminate in hiring?&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>Such concerns have also been raised recently in Australia, under such front-page headlines as &#8220;<a href="http://www.theage.com.au/national/government-bows-to-religious-right-20090926-g76u.html" target="_blank">Government bows to religious right</a>&#8220;, reporting on the alleged discrimination of religious groups in who they choose to employ as well as in who qualifies for their services.</p>
<p>Wallis makes the point in his piece that there is a marked difference between these two categories.  He argues that an organisation ought to have the right to protect its identity by hiring those who share this identity.  For instance, a Christian aid organisation, in order to maintain its identity as Christian, should be allowed to employ Christians.  To be compelled to employ people who do not share their beliefs would undermine the integrity of that organisation as &#8220;Christian&#8221;.  By employing Christian workers, an organisation can maintain its mission, purpose and values.</p>
<p>The second issue &#8211; of discrimination of service &#8211; is a different one altogether, Wallis argues (and I would agree).  To limit the provision of Christian services to those who share Christian beliefs is internally focused,  and not at all representative of the compassion and love the organisation stands to represent.  If the organisation was receiving government funding as well (as far as I know, this would be uncommon in Australia, but sounds to be widespread in the States) then this is even more important, as government services ought not be tied only to those of a certain religion.</p>
<p>For me, Wallis hits the nail on the head.  Unless we recognise the needy in every colour and creed we are not being true to God&#8217;s call to love <strong>all</strong> of his children.  It&#8217;s fine to want to protect the identity of an organisation, and a Christian charity ought to be free to share their Christ-centred and biblical reasons for doing what they do.  But to limit the reach of the charity to within those who already know God would be an insufficient demonstration of the big love of our great God.</p>

<description><![CDATA[It was 8:30 pm.  Fred Scribner sat in a cozy corner of a 6&#215;6 square foot stage with his fingers]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="size-full wp-image-1684 alignleft" title="Vox Pop Fred Scribner 2" src="http://metrosection.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/october-191.jpg" alt="Vox Pop Fred Scribner 2" width="230" height="305" /></p>
<p>It was 8:30 pm.  Fred Scribner sat in a cozy corner of a 6&#215;6 square foot stage with his fingers emblazoned within the strings of his flamenco guitar, speakers appropriately mounted on the walls to his left and right, and about 10 people surrounded by a mellow candlelight setting and quiet conversation. The lighting was dim, the energy was calm, and the music was perfect.</p>
<p>“Who needs electricity?  We don’t need electricity.”  Scribner politely joked with Debi Ryan, General Manager of Vox Pop, about the power outage that had occurred.  With his recurring Tuesday appearance, it’s no doubt their relationship is a very friendly one; he made fun of her for attempting to create a spotlight with a flashlight… to no avail.</p>
<p>“[It’s a] good thing I brought my battery-powered amp today,” he said to me about a half hour earlier while puffing on a cigarette before the show.</p>
<p>His attire was casual.  Standing about 6’1 or taller, he wore a blue jacket that read “IBM” over a black button-up that overlapped a black tee, accompanied with a pair of clean, crispy blue jeans.  “Lemme think,” he said before a quick inhale during our brief conversation, “probably the most significant thing me, [Little] Sammy [Davis], and the band [Midnight Slim] are known for is our long run on the Imus Show—over 20 years now.”<a rel="attachment wp-att-1685" href="http://metrosection.wordpress.com/2009/10/29/the-thrill-aint-gone/frednsammy/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1685" title="fred scribner and little sammy davis" src="http://metrosection.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/frednsammy.jpg" alt="fred scribner and little sammy davis" width="185" height="246" /></a></p>
<p>Don Imus, who is today most remembered for a nationally <a href="http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/nation/20070412-1500-nappyhair.html">covered controversy</a> back in 2007, was <em>first</em> <strong>better</strong> known for his popular show <em>Imus in the Morning </em>which has been running since 1971.  Midnight Slim, (including Brad Scribner, John Thompson, and Randy Weimer) along with the legendary harminist Little Sammy Davis, became Imus’ regularly featured act, recognized as his “House Band” in 1991, and has been moving along strongly ever since.  The band was seen on MSNBC on a daily basis and heard on the radio from coast to coast, partly in thanks to the exposure from the Imus show, mostly in great a due to their unquestionable chemistry.  Their music of choice: the blues.</p>
<p>Scribner, born in New York City, did not begin as a blues musician.  Following in the footsteps of his favorite band, The Beatles, he picked up the guitar at the age of 11 and began performing for high school crowds “within the next 6 months,” according to his <a href="http://www.myspaceprofiles.org/profiles/330252862.html">online biography</a>.  By the age of 13 he had a steady gig at a country bar with a local singer named Ken Henry in Orange County, NY (where he and his family moved to about 2 years prior).</p>
<p>By the time he turned 18, he was playing professionally with bands, booking his own gigs, and creating master recordings.  Once he reached his early 20s, he had already dabbed in music from country, rock n roll, blues, funk, and disco.</p>
<p>Since their critically acclaimed proof of success with the record  <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdIrUenSLF8">&#8220;I Ain&#8217;t Lyin&#8221;</a> on the prestigious Delmark Records in 1996, winning them Best Comeback Artist, Scribner more recently has been working on a new album.  Opening shows for Gavin DeGraw, recording with Joey DeGraw, and continuously playing shows with Little Sammy Davis, as well as his continued appearance on Don Imus&#8217; show keeps him busy.</p>
<p>Scribner’s sound, which infuses many different genres from which he has studied, is one of the reasons his music is so captivating when he plays.  Whether it’s with the accompaniment of his band, or a solo cover of a Santana classic, every note seems flawless and ever lyric sounds harmonic.  In a world that claims genres such as the blues to be a thing of the past, I question what could happen if we all placed down our iPods and sat in front a true musician, such as Scribner for some time.</p>
<p>The crowd in the coffeeshop of Vox Pop continuously poured in and out from the rain as the sound resonated from his battery-powered amp to the lackluster streets of Courtelyou Rd.  His brilliance is undeniable and his personality is warming.  It felt as if I was sitting amongst and speaking to a true musical legend… It’s a shame it takes some musicians a lifetime to get the spotlight they truly deserve.  But since that lifetime is far from up, I’ll be waiting to see what lies ahead.</p>

<description><![CDATA[That’s what T-Mobile is asking in its latest campaign. So, what would I do with free texts for life?]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>That’s what T-Mobile is asking in its latest campaign. So, what would I do with free texts for life? Well, I suppose I’d, you know, carry on texting people. But without worrying about any possible charges. ‘Cos all the texts would be free. For the rest of my life.</p>
<p>That the right answer?</p>
<p>Well, yes, but it’s hardly the most fun or imaginative. T-Mobile’s agency must have countenanced such a prosaic response from the public, because the ads feature a few alternative suggestions. They’re supposedly provided by Ordinary Members of the Public.</p>
<p>I guess the suggestions are meant to make you stop and think to yourself ‘yeah! Now you come to mention it, I could use my free texts to do something like that! Something specific that I hadn’t previously thought of! And still haven’t, but it’s early days! I have a lifetime to think of an actual purpose for my free texts, something far more defined and ambitious than just texting people! Kyuh.</p>
<p><strong>It’s so easy to criticise. Off we go then</strong></p>
<p>In one of the ads, the reply to the question ‘What would you do with free texts for life?’ is ‘I got everyone together for a picnic by the river. Cancel the table for four.’</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 414px"><img title="Picnic" src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb112/BraveNewMalden/Picture1.png" alt="You couldve picked some level ground!" width="404" height="302" /><p class="wp-caption-text">You could&#39;ve picked some level ground!</p></div>
<p>Awww. Lucky them. Or unlucky them, depending on which restaurant you’d booked and whether or not the rain held off. At least they have the mandatory VW camper van standing by.</p>
<p><em>(I hope to make the ubiquity of these vehicles in ads the subject of a future blog. Please feel free to refer me to any examples.)</em></p>
<p>But the answer is hardly in the spirit of the question. Faced with the intoxicating prospect of a lifetime of free texts, all this person could do was arrange baps on a blanket for three mates. Surely that’s something he could have done before this offer came along? He seemed to have managed the restaurant booking all right.</p>
<p>There’s a weird thing going on with the tenses, as well. The question is ‘what would you do?’ Future. We’re asked to hypothesize, to wonder. But the answer given is retrospective. ‘I got everyone together for a picnic by the river.’ Past.</p>
<p>Until, strangely, the ‘Cancel the table for four’ part. Then it’s, ahem, back to the future. So you’ve had the picnic, but you still haven’t cancelled the restaurant? And you with your lifetime of free texts? Shameful.</p>
<p><strong>How did the Beatles, U2 or Oasis ever get their show on the road?</strong></p>
<p>One of the campaign’s other ads is quite fun too. It poses the same question, but this time we can see the respondent delivering his answer to camera, as it were.</p>
<p>Let’s remind ourselves of the question.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 260px"><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb112/BraveNewMalden/IMG_0077.jpg" alt="Isnt it obvious? Why, Id..." width="250" height="368" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Isn&#39;t it obvious? Why, I&#39;d...</p></div>
<p>This guy’s brainwave is:</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 341px"><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb112/BraveNewMalden/IMG_0079.jpg" alt="" width="331" height="276" /><p class="wp-caption-text">He&#39;d text all the musicians he knew and they&#39;d start a superband</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">There are a couple of things that annoy me about this. (Not greatly, mind you. I’m only doing this to fill in time before The News comes on). One is the assumption that we’ll look at the ad and think, yeah, that’s a bit like me, I know LOADS of musicians, and they’re all waiting for me to arrange them into some sort of superband.</p>
<p>Another is the word superband.</p>
<p>A third is the idea that the only thing…the ONLY thing…that has so far stopped our lad from forming a ‘superband’ is that he didn’t have enough texts left.</p>
<p>It wasn’t the absence of talent or time or ambition or a common musical direction. It was a lack of texts. I find that unbelievable.</p>
<p>Finally, I’m in two minds about the guy in the ad. He looks friendly, honest, open and non-threatening. But then I blink and suddenly he looks like a cardie-contained mixture of the unutterably gormless and the insufferably smug.</p>
<p>Right, The News is about to start. See you anon.</p>

<description><![CDATA[25 September 2009 Die Sache mit den Kläranlagen hab ich noch nicht herausgefunden, allerdings hatte ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h2 style="text-align:center;">25 September 2009</h2>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">Die Sache mit den Kläranlagen hab ich noch nicht herausgefunden, allerdings hatte ich auch nicht sonderlich viel Zeit für außerschulische Recherche&#8230; </span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">Aber ich hab meinen kulturellen Horizont trotz allem erweitert. Meine Lebenserfahrung auch, nachdem ich in den letzten zwei Wochen durch die Höhen und Tiefen des Leben gegangen bin. </span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">Die meiste Zeit verbringe ich nach wie vor in der Schule. Wir hatten viel zu tun in den letzten Wochen: zum Thema Gericht -Court Reporting, Court Story Writing-, Kurzschrift (das gute alte<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-113" title="IMG_0132" src="http://aotearoablog.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/15.jpg" alt="IMG_0132" width="250" height="375" /> Teeline Shorthand), der Schul-Blog, Artikel. Einer meiner Mitschüler ist gestern bei der Jagd auf eine Story verhaftet worden, als er ein Gefängnis fotografierte und dabei aus Versehen die Grundstücksgrenze überschritten hat&#8230; </span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">Ich dagegen hab mir bei der Jagd nach einer Story nur blutige Versen geholt, als ich einen Inder stalkte, um ihm ein Interview abzuringen. Besagter Inder stellte sich dann als Sri Lanke/Sri Lankaner/ Sri Lanker (???) -Mensch aus Sri Lanka- heraus, der sich nur schwer überreden ließ, ein Foto von sich machen zu lassen. [Sein Argument war, das ginge nicht, weil er einen Anzug trage und das würde nicht gut aussehen]</span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">Allerdings hat sich der Drei-Stunden-Vox-Pop gelohnt &#8211; der Artikel ist gestern auf NewsWire als Feature erschienen.<span style="color:#e71783;"><strong> </strong></span><a href="http://www.newswire.co.nz/2009/09/call-me-bill/"><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong>- hier geht&#8217;s zum Artikel </strong></span></a></span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"> </span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">Mein Kampf mit <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teeline_Shorthand" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong>Shorthand</strong></span></a> hat gestern ein offizielles Ende gefunden. Falls ihr euch nicht mehr erinnert, möchte ich euch kurz die Sache ins Gedächtnis rufen: Shorthand hat mir schon immer extrem viel Spaß gemacht und ich habe es mit Freude praktiziert. &#8211; Bis vergangene Woche, als ich plötzlich wie vor einer Wand stand und es einfach nicht mehr schreiben konnte. Mein Handgelenk schmerzte und ich hatte schon Angst, ich hätte <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_overuse_syndrome" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong>OOS</strong></span></a> (einen Tennisarm, der eigentlich ein Shorthandarm war), und ich konnte die Geschwindigkeit einfach nicht erhöhen. Ich schaffte 70 Wörter pro Minute und da steckte ich. Hinzu kamen extreme migränemäßige Kopfschmerzen (für die möglicherweiße Shorthand und das Gerichts-Reporting-Examen verantwortlich waren) und totale Übermüdung. ABER &#8211; ich schaffte es, die Story zu schreiben, das Examen brachte ich hinter mich und dann fiel ich erstmal ins Bett und verbrachte den Großteil des Wochenendes im Tiefschlaf. Diese Woche war ich frisch und erholt und die 80 Wörter pro Minute in Shorthand habe ich heute auch endlich geschafft. </span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">Außerdem habe ich heute Bekanntschaft mit Lola geschlossen. Lola wird auch die „Typing Lady“ genannt, denn sie testet uns in unserer Tippgeschwindigkeit. Lola ist furchteinflößend und ich bekam erstmal das große Zittern, dass sich aber zum Glück nach einiger Zeit legte und so klappte das mit der Tippgeschwindigkeit auch einigermaßen. Seitdem habe ich <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kinks" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong>„Lola“ von den Kinks</strong></span></a> im Kopf, was ein cooles Lied ist, aber viel zu schade, um es mit der Vision einer verrückten Typing Lady zu verbinden&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"> </span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">Privat läuft mein Leben um einiges entspannter. Mit meinen beiden Mitbewohnerinnen verstehe ich mich super und an das Leben in Wellington hab ich mich gewöhnt &#8211; auch wenn es mich nach wie vor überrascht, wenn ich nachts plötzlich Kirchenglocken läuten höre (muss mal noch recherchieren, wo die herkommen). Ich weiß jetzt, dass die Kehrmaschine meist zwischen ein und zwei Uhr nachts fährt und dass der Müll entweder spät abends oder früh morgens eingesammelt wird. Und demnächst werde ich mich vielleicht auch endlich noch daran gewöhnen, dass man die Knöpfe am Herd in die andere Richtung dreht. *lol*</span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">Auf meinem Weg zur Schule morgens komme ich übrigens an einer ganzen Reihe von Versuchungen vorbei, in Form von&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">&#8230; BÜCHERN &#8211; gleich drei Buchläden, um genau zu sein: <a href="http://www.paperplus.co.nz/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong>Paper Plus</strong></span></a> (Schnäppchen!), <a href="http://www.whitcoulls.co.nz/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong>Whitcoulls</strong></span></a><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong> </strong></span>(gut sortiert!) und <a href="http://www.borders.co.nz/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong>Borders</strong></span></a> (der beste Buchladen EVER!) [und es könnten sogar vier sein, wenn Dymock‘s nicht zugemacht hätte]</span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">&#8230; KEKSEN bei <a href="http://www.mrshiggins.co.nz/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#e71783;">Mrs Higgins</span></strong></a> &#8211; dem kleinen Lädchen, wo es ofenfrische Kekse gibt. Yum!</span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">&#8230; KAFFEE bei <a href="http://www.starbucks.co.nz/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong>Starbucks</strong></span></a> oder <a href="http://www.gloriajeanscoffees.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#e71783;">Gloria Jean‘s</span></strong></a>*</span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">*seufz* </span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">Deshalb muss ich jeden Morgen ganz schnell zur Schule hetzen, um nicht in Versuchung zu geraten&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;">[*was übrigens aus Oz kommt, aber der Kaffee ist trotzdem verdammt gut, das muss ich zugeben.] </span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica;min-height:14px;text-align:center;margin:0;">~   ~   ~<span style="letter-spacing:0;"> </span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"> </span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><em>Being very busy all the time, I haven&#8217;t had a chance to find out about the sewage plants, yet.</em></span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><em>But I broadened my cultural horizon in the meantime anyway. As well as my life experience, by the way, after experiencing the ups and downs of life in the last fortnight. </em></span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><em>I still spend most of my time at school. We had lots to do in the last few weeks: covering court -cour reporting, court story writing-, Shorthand (good old Teeline), the blog for school, stories. One of my fellow students got detained yesterday while hunting a scoop and taking pictures outside a prison, when he accidently stepped onto prison property&#8230;</em></span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><em>Opposed to that, I just got a bleeding heel from hunting a story, when I stalked an Indian the other day in order to get an interview. The Indian then turned out to be Sri Lankan, who was hard to convince to have a picture taken.

<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><em>But the three-hour vox-pop was worth it &#8211; it got published as an feature article on NewsWire yesterday. </em><em><a href="http://www.newswire.co.nz/2009/09/call-me-bill/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong>- read the story here</strong></span></a></em></span></p>

<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><em>My battle with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teeline_Shorthand" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong>Shorthand </strong></span></a></em><em>finally came to an end yesterday, officially. In case you do not quite remember, I&#8217;d like to recall for you quickly: I always liked Shorthand and had a lot of fun practising it &#8211; until last week when I suddenly hit the wall and just could not write anymore. My wrist was sore and I was scared I had <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_overuse_syndrome" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong>OOS</strong></span></a></em><em><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong> </strong></span></em><em>and I simply was not able to build up the speed. I managed to get 70 words per minute down, but that&#8217;s where I got stuck. Additionally, I had the most horrible migrane-like headaches (which I blame the pressure of Shorthand and the court exam for) and was continuosly over-tired. BUT &#8211; I managed to write the story, do the exam and then I hit the pillow and spend most of my weekend in bed in deeeeep sleep. And this week, I then was fresh and relaxed and finally managed to increase my writing speed up to 80 today. </em></span></p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><em>Also, I got acquainted with Lola today. Lola is also called the &#8220;Typing Lady&#8221;, because she is testing us on our typing speed. Lola is extremely scary and I got the shakes when she made us type at first, but somehow I calmed down and managed to type fast enough. And now I have <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kinks" target="_blank"><span style="color:#e71783;"><strong>&#8220;Lola&#8221; by the Kinks</strong></span></a></em><em> in my mind &#8211; a cool song, but not when you always think of it combined with the vision of a crazy typing lady&#8230;</em></span></p>

<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;"><span style="letter-spacing:0;"><em>My private life is much more relaxing.

I know by now, that the road sweeeper is going through the street between one and two in the morning, and the rubbish bins are usually being emptied either very early in the morning or very late at night.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_2017" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 280px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2017 " title="Harris Eisenstadt &#38; Canada Day" src="http://improvisedcommunications.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/cd_friedlander_web1.jpg?w=300" alt="Photo by Scott Friedlander" width="270" height="203" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Scott Friedlander</p></div>
<p>The official street date for <a href="http://www.harriseisenstadt.com/" target="_blank">Harris Eisenstadt</a>&#8217;s latest release, <em><a href="http://improvisedcommunications.wordpress.com/2009/07/07/eisenstadt-canada-day/" target="_blank">Canada Day</a></em> (Clean Feed), is still a few weeks away, but listeners can get a live preview tonight at <a href="http://www.cleanfeed-records.com/festivalpdf/" target="_blank">Clean Feed Fest IV</a> at New York&#8217;s Cornelia Connelly Center.</p>
<p>Eisenstadt will be performing with his primary working group, also called Canada Day, featuring Nate Wooley (trumpet), Ellery Eskelin (sitting in for Matt Bauder on tenor saxophone), Chris Dingman (vibraphone) and Eivind Opsvik (bass).</p>
<p>&#8220;The cohesion of the ensemble, glued by the steady, steaming, streaming rhythms of Eisenstadt, keeps the listener focused and compelled to hear more,&#8221; writes AllMusic.com&#8217;s Michael G. Nastos. &#8220;This is a strong candidate for Top Ten status in the category of best jazz CDs of 2009.&#8221;</p>
<p>The group will <a href="http://www.harriseisenstadt.com/calendar.html" target="_blank">hit the road</a> in support of their new record, which comes out October 6th, in late October, stopping in Buffalo, NYC, Rochester and Toronto.</p>
<p>In the meantime, you can catch Eisenstadt in duos with Aaron Siegel (September 22nd at <a href="http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.showDetails&#38;friendid=192825136&#38;Band_Show_ID=38546725" target="_blank">Death By Audio</a>) and Sara Schoenbeck (September 26th at <a href="http://voxpopnet.net/home.php" target="_blank">Vox Pop</a>).</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Radio<br />
Day by Day<br />
By C.E. Butterfield</strong></p>
<p>New York, Aug. 28&#8212;AP&#8212;Broadcast attention, directed to Chicago this week for the &#8220;war conference&#8221; of the National Association of Broadcasters, is expected to center to a certain extent on the future of both television and frequency modulation.  Representatives of both groups, as well as many network and station officials are attending.  New York has sent full delegations.</p>
<p>One matter due for consideration is that of ultimate wavelength allocations for these developing services.  Other questions dealing with broadcasting in general and its connection with the war and the post-war era are coming up.</p>
<p>In the television field, the C.B.S. network, which has been advocating what it describes as &#8220;better postwar television&#8221; through the setting up of higher transmitting standards than now prevailing, has issued a new booklet in support of its stand.  It calls attention to the recent proposal of the interdepartmental radio advisory committee of the federal government that television be assigned wavelengths above 450 megacycles, with channels wider than at present, and that 31 such channels be set aside.</p>
<p>C.B.S. says that the plan not only parallels its own suggestion &#8220;to permit pictures with twice as much detail, in black and white and in full color,&#8221; but goes somewhat further.</p>
