June 26, 2013—Silicon Valley investor Vinod Khosla argues that biofuels are the cheapest way to scale up a solution to cut greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. He says the answer isn't ethanol, but biofuels that are chemically identical to today's gasoline and diesel.
Partner, Khosla Ventures
You know my interest in clean energy came from the dire need for solving the carbon problem. You know it's a crisis.
One of the things we have to do is get real.
From my point of view, I view climate risk-or weather risk-as big risk as nuclear terrorism, nuclear proliferation, homeland security. It has the potential to damage and kill a lot more people. That's what got me very, very interested in working on this problem.
If you look at ways to reduce carbon in our environment when it comes to transportation, there's only two ways: electric cars and biofuels.
The emissions profile of an electric car isn't as great, because it's still a coal-powered car, because most of our electricity is generated.
We thought that biofuels would mean ethanol. In fact, really clearly ethanol is obsolete today.
The food-based technologies, whether they be biodiesel or corn ethanol, have really failed and they should be discontinued. I think it's time to get rid of them.
Biofuels that have been successful have mostly been hydrocarbon biofuels, which people don't seem to understand. Not biodiesel as we know it, from food stocks, but in fact diesel and gasoline produced from wood chips as KiOR is doing in Mississippi.
It has 50 percent more yield, almost uses no water at all, it's clearly the winning technology. It will be cheaper, unsubsidized than offshore drilling projects or oil sands projects.
Could we replace all of the gasoline we use in the United Atates with bio-gasoline produced from wood chips from the paper mills that have been shut down in this country? The answer is we can both reduce the amount of land area under cultivation, the stuff that's going to produce corn ethanol today, we can return all those paper mills that have been shut down back into business in thriving communities and replace our gasoline with something that's 80 percent lower carbon or more while not paying more.
Things can change. And they can change very rapidly. They do not change with incremental technologies because the economics of incremental technologies don't change.

Milwaukee's new rotation
February, 4, 2013
By Jason Catania | ESPN.com
After watching Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum leave via free agency and cutting ties with Randy Wolf last season, the Milwaukee Brewers rotation will have a whole new look in 2013.
The ace of the staff is veteran righty Yovani Gallardo, who's still just 26 and has been a reliable, durable starter for four years, with 127 starts over that time. After him, though, no other rotation candidate has made more than the 63 career starts by lefty Chris Narveson, who just so happened to miss all of last season with injury.

Teacher's pet
On the face of it, Michael Gove's initiative to ban term time absence seems reasonable enough, even when reported through the Daily Telegraph's increasingly sensationalist, Daily Mail style lens.
Parents are to be banned by Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, from taking their children out of school to save money on holidays.
The devil with this stuff though, is always in the detail and this insightful post from Rob Anthony a deputy head teacher in Norfolk illuminates how over active politicians can reek havoc in the professions from their well meaning but ill thought through interventions.
At the moment I have discretion and will grant John an Authorised Absence but what should I tell him and his family (or others in a similar position) when I no longer have this discretion?
Mr Gove might just best serve schools by changing nothing at all for a while.

by Zoe Hart
Late Summer 2009
A rivulet of baby vomit streamed down my hand and disappeared
into my cast. "Rookie!" I scolded myself. "How did I end up here?"
I dabbed at the mouth of the baby I was tending for a friend as my mind wandered back to that defining moment when the ice fractured around me, and the plate I was climbing on detached.
Gravity won that round. I hit the slope 30 feet below. I clawed and scraped with my hands and feet, willing my crampons not to catch and break my ankles. Rocketing over the edge of the second step – another 35 feet – I saw nothing but felt a force I had never felt before: my body compressing against the ground.
Crouched on my hands and knees, I gasped, unable to breathe. I inhaled a gulp of air and sat, eyes wide. Voices echoed in the distance. I don't think I responded. I was too busy taking note of what hurt – wiggling toes and fingers, moving arms and legs. No blood, no bones sticking out. I sat still, staring across the wintry horizon of Colorado's San Juan Mountains, imagining how far from Silverton or Ouray we were. Fear welled up from the pit of my stomach.

I've spent a lot of time traveling from lacrosse and soccer games, to cross-country and swim meets and crew races. But now that two of my kids have flown the nest and started their adult lives, and my third child is a senior in high school, I see my job as a cheering sports parent beginning to wind down. One of the hobbies I've gone back to is an interest in crafts, which I've always had. Right now I'm focusing on crocheting. I've recently done afghans and baby blankets. Each of my kids—whether they want it or not—is getting an afghan for Christmas!
I've also been paying more attention to my health, and along with my boxer/lab Apollo, I've been walking 2–3 miles every day to stay in shape. I also do push-ups and sit-ups, squats and lunges. (This really helped when I moved my daughter into a fifth-floor walk-up in New York City.) Unless there's a downpour or blizzard, Apollo patiently waits for me outside my office door, and when I emerge early in the afternoon, he gives me a wide-eyed, alert look—"Is it time to walk yet?"
I love to travel. I've always been one of those parents who forced her children to visit museums and historical attractions everywhere we went. My daughter recently told me that she used to be bored by this as a child, but that as an adult, she finds herself exploring museums and enjoying it! We've done a lot of driving to places on the East coast, like Charleston, SC; Washington, DC; and Virginia Beach; and to the West, when we visited my son in Aspen, CO, by way of the Badlands of South Dakota and Mount Rushmore. I've even rented a car and driven on the left side of the road in England, so that I could stop at whatever attracted my interest. My ideal trip is simply driving across America. Someday!

Carey Price is out tonight with the flu (seems to be going around right now). Peter Budaj will get the start for the Habs.
Tyler Seguin's struggles continue - he is playing a soft, perimeter game right now. Perhaps he got used to the playing style in Switzerland? Either way, his early season lack of production is both surprising (considering how dominant he was in Europe during the lockout) and disappointing.
Dallas prospect Reilly Smith scored his first career NHL goal last night against Cory Schneider.
Schneider wasn't great - he let in a few softies. I'd expect Roberto Luongo to get the start next game.
Henrik Sedin had two helpers and passed Markus Naslund for the all time lead in team scoring.
Surrey, BC native Brenden Dillon scored the game winner in front of a ton of family and friends. The rookie defenseman has been a revelation for the Stars this season, and he is becomming a solid fantasy contributor (hits, PIM, too).
The big news - Kari Lehtonen left with a groin injury. Richard Bachman was OK in relief - I'd imagine Nihlstorp will get most of the starts if Lehtonen is out for any length of time.
St. Louis received a number of really good performances last night.
Alex Steen had three points, David Perron scored twice, and Jaden Schwartz (one of my favourite young players in the league) had a goal and a helper.
TJ Oshie also had two helpers.
Jake Allen had a fantastic game for the Blues - he made 30 saves, including an absolutely ridiculous stick save which will be linked below.
Joey MacDonald came in to the game after Leland Irving allowed two goals on four shots.
75% of the time, Antti Niemi plays like a top 10 goalie. The other 25% of the time though… yikes. He did make 33 saves last night, but he looked shaky at times against his former club.
Ray Emery was rock solid for Chicago - he got the start as Crawford is out with an upper body injury.
Another start and another win for Viktor Fasth. Quite the beginning to his NHL career - better late than never for the 30-year-old. I wonder what Jonas Hiller (and his owners) are thinking right now?
I am not always the biggest fan of Fleury, but he was great against Winnipeg last night. Best game I have seen from him in a while.
The game itself was pretty boring - Pavelec was spitting out rebounds all game long, but the team did a great job of containing the high-octane Pittsburgh offence.
So much for easing back in - Zach Bogosian played 25 minutes and looked great for Winnipeg. I forgot what a powerful skater he is - he had some fantastic end-to-end rushes. Still not really sure what kind of offence he possesses.
David "Wayne Gretzky" Clarkson had another goal last night - his last season and a half has been really, really impressive.
Kovalchuk added three helpers, and Elias also had three points. I don't think Elias gets enough credit for how well he has played in the past few years. He has played a lot of really good hockey for a long time.
Another great performance from Patrice Bergeron - no points, but he led the Bruins with five shots on goal, and he won 15 of 20 face-offs.
Dougie Hamilton score this first of many NHL goals, and he also added a helper. He continues to look really good on the Boston back end.
Tyler Myers had two points but played only 18 minutes. However, it was a step in the right direction after an awful start to the season (including a healthy scratch).
Drew Stafford (buy low candidate) scored his first of the season and had five shots on goal. I'm not a huge Stafford fan, but he's a good top six forward and his production will increase.
Christian Ehrhoff had a good game too - 27 minutes of ice time, plus-3, and two points.
The Red Wings and Jimmy Howard have started official contract discussions.
The last time goaltender Jimmy Howard was involved in a contract negotiation with the Detroit Red Wings, he admittedly was distracted to the point where it affected his performance.
That was two years ago. It won't happen again, Howard vowed.
"It was a learning experience last time,'' Howard said. "It was the first time I've ever been through something like that, and it took a toll on me.
Are the Penguins interested in Pierre-Marc Bouchard and/or Devin Setoguchi? They have a ton of cap space and would love to add another top six forward.
Penguins GM Ray Shero was there while his team got ready for their game in Winnipeg on Friday. Why? The Star Tribune's Michael Russo suggested that Pittsburgh might be interested in Devin Setoguchi and/or Pierre-Marc Bouchard.
Wild GM Chuck Fletcher and coach Mike Yeo both worked for the Penguins before coming to Minnesota and Pittsburgh is believed to be in the market for a top-six forward. Additionally, Setoguchi and Bouchard have both struggled this season, so maybe Minnesota would be willing to part with one of them in an effort to shake things up.
Jake Allen's ridiculous save:
A look at how the New Jersey Devils are deploying their players thus far in 2013.
If you didn't already know, Ilya Kovalchuk is a workhorse. Kovalchuk averages almost six minutes of power play time per game. This is two minutes more than any other skater for the Devils. Kovalchuk is often double shifted on the power play due to his blistering one timer. Part of the reason for the Devil's strong power play recently is the minutes Kovalchuk is playing. Since Kovalchuk is often used as one of the defensemen on the power play, there is only one other defenseman who is even remotely near Kovalchuk's minutes and that is Marek Zidlicky.
He is on the ice for just over three and a half minutes per game. As for forwards that see a lot of ice time during the power play, there are three that receive quite a bit of time: David Clarkson, Patrik Elias, and Travis Zajac. These three forwards average about 3.5 minutes of power play time. The Devils are running their most productive forwards on the power play. I personally like seeing these players on the ice for the power play. They're all composed players who function well on the power play.
I am starting to compile my annual top 10 keeper lists for each position – first up, the left wingers.
Here are my lists from the past three years:
How would you rank the top 10 LW?
How I go for positions – I use Yahoo as a guide, but I try to pick players that actually "play" the position they have eligibility for. Why? In the long run, they will tend to lose eligibility for positions they don't play (not always, but often – better safe than sorry). LW is very thin right now, and Alex Ovechkin has been leading the way for the past three years. Will be retain his spot at the top, or will a new number one emerge?
Fitting - a nice pass from Henrik to set the all time Canucks scoring record:

I guess none of the Swiss NHL skaters (Streit, Josi, Brunner, Diaz and Y.Weber) is known as a tough guy... Maybe Sbisa - and the jury is still out on Nino and Bärtschi...
Wotan said:
Has our national program really still not earned any respect in North America? Still using those same old stereotypes about the Swiss misses and their provincial league for softies? E.g. did you watch some of the last junior worlds? All guys with no guts and no fight in them, playing "a soft, perimeter game", right?
Ah well, I guess that's exactly the attitude of the big hockey nations what Swiss ice hockey is feeding of these days... So, I'm feeling better now

7. Henrik Zetterberg
8. Mike Richards

If Joffrey Lupul would have played three continuous years like he did last year, he'd bump out Brown for me. Franzen is past his prime, although still a very good player to have in a pool with peripherals. A big determining factor for me is whether lw's take faceoffs or not. On the bubble: Landeskog, Hartnell and Parise. Daniel Sedin gives little outside of goals and assists...

Do you think Lance Armstrong should be stripped of his titles?
Comment: whereis the proof ?
Comment: the man took over 50 drug test and as far as i know he has never tested postived for anything. it just a bunch of jelious..
Comment: If the Doping committee is going to strip Lance's winnings back to 1998, then they should also strip all other winners because apparently the testing procedure has been incorrectly done. If Lance passed the testing at the time, and now all of a sudden he was "doping", then something was done incorrect. All personnel who have been tested since 1998 results would be wrong. If you are going to ban one, ban them all due to incorrect procedures in testing.
Comment: ESPECIALLY IF HE CAN RIDE HIS BICYCLE UP AND DOWN THE EAST SIDE OF YOUR EMERALD CITY AFTER MID-NITE AND NOT GET SHOT AT, GOOD LUCK LANCE, YOUR CITY SUCKS.!!!!!!!!

Like all ornamental grasses, it adds great texture to gardens.
Speaking of texture, Artemisia 'Powis Castle' has finely cut leaves and shimmers with a silvery blue comparable to Agave americana, shown here in my garden. In bloom higher up the slope are aloes with orange flowers. Continue Reading →

Willis started off the called work session Tuesday proposing that the city borrow $550,000. Over the course of more than two hours, the loan proposal ballooned as high as $1 million before the council compromised at an $813,000 figure — one that appeared to please neither the more conservative council members, nor the more ambitious.
The council did not vote on the loan Tuesday. Willis said he would take the $813,000 figure to different banks in the upcoming weeks to discuss a possible loan or municipal bond.
The estimated repayment for the loan would be roughly $70,000 annually for 15 years.
The much-discussed loan had been looming over council talks for months, and $50,000 had already been set aside in this year's budget for a payment. The council plans to use the loan to buy new equipment for the Public Works Department, repave Jacksonville Street and make improvements to the city park.
The mayor set aside $100,000 in his proposed plan for city equipment, but that number jumped to more than $300,000 when Councilman Jeff Clendenning and Public Works Director Joey Conger offered the council their wish list, including a new tractor and backhoe.
"This is what I'm going to need if you want me to do my job," Conger said.
Councilman Mike Warren suggested borrowing $1 million — thereby eliciting an expression of surprise from the mayor — and setting aside close to $200,000 for commercial development. Councilwoman Ellen Cole backed Warren's suggestion, but it was met with skepticism by Councilman Les Hill.
"We have to step out," Cole said.
"But you don't want to overstep," Hill responded.
Hill questioned if employees would have to be laid off if the city failed to make a payment on the loan. Hill said he'd like to see the city borrow no more than $500,000. Councilman Tim McRae also said he was concerned with borrowing too much.
Warren, however, said the city had been in a worse place financially the last time the council took out a $1 million loan, and was still able to make all its payments.
"Whenever we borrow money, it's never enough," Warren said. "We always need more."
A $1 million loan would mean a $90,000 annual payment. Willis asked City Clerk Teresa Dishman if the city could afford that.
"I'm not going to go out on a limb and say, 'Yes we can,'" Dishman said. "I'd have to say no."
Willis said he'd be willing to go with the $813,000 figure, taking out $20,000 from the annual budget going to capital expenditures to make payments, if Clendenning and Warren agreed to keep intact the $125,000 he proposed for park improvements — a pet project of the mayor's.
The council is set to meet again on Nov. 12.

Need a Small Business Loan? Try These Strategies
Small businesses — from people who merely "work for themselves" to entities that employ others — are critical to the American economy. And for small companies to survive and generate new jobs, they need credit on affordable terms.
While many small businesses have had difficulties obtaining credit in recent years, conditions are getting better. "A combination of factors has created issues and challenges for small businesses, but it is turning in terms of credit availability. I think it is going to get better, and we're working to facilitate that," FDIC Chairman Sheila C. Bair said when the FDIC held a forum on January 13, 2011, to discuss new approaches to overcoming obstacles to small business lending.
FDIC Consumer News has written before about how small business owners can improve their chances of getting a good loan. Here is our latest collection of tips.
Prepare or update a business plan. This summary of the company's goals, needs and financial projections will be crucial to your success, whether you're just starting out or you've been in business for years. "Small businesses need a well-prepared business plan when they apply for a loan," said Suzy Gardner, Assistant to the FDIC Chairman. "A poorly prepared plan could lead to more money being borrowed than the business can realistically repay or the loan being denied just when the small business needs that money the most."
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) offers tips for writing a solid business plan. Among them:
Understand the risks and costs of different kinds of loans. Your best option may be a bank loan guaranteed by the SBA. Under this program, the SBA backs a certain portion of the loan — as much as 90 percent — which enables a small business owner to qualify for attractive interest rates and financing.
"SBA loan guarantees can mean the difference between getting a bank loan and being entirely shut out," said Mary Bass, an FDIC Senior Community Affairs Specialist. She noted, though, that "with an SBA loan or any other loan, expect to show that your business has sufficient cash flow to repay what you want to borrow."
Credit cards may appear to be an easy source of money, but they can be an expensive way to finance a small business. Don't make the mistake of using high-cost credit, such as personal loans or credit cards, to fund business operations when you can get a better rate on a business loan from your bank.
Home equity lines of credit also may be a source of funding, but you may not want to risk your family home to launch your business venture. Before going this route, carefully consider the risks involved.
Likewise, think carefully before co-signing or guaranteeing a business loan for a friend or relative. "Remember, you are making a promise to repay the loan if the borrower doesn't," warned Luke W. Reynolds, Chief of the FDIC's Community Outreach Section. "If the primary borrower defaults on the loan, you will have to repay it — plus interest and fees — and if you fail to do so, your personal credit record will be damaged."
Shop around for the best deal. Most commercial banks offer SBA loans. Start by asking the bank where you have your personal accounts and follow up with a few banks that market themselves as lenders to businesses of all sizes. Accountants, attorneys, insurance agents, trade associations, vendors and business peers also may be able to provide referrals to lenders.
Regarding business loans, in general there are three types: short-term loans to be repaid within approximately three years (including lines of credit used to help finance ongoing expenses), intermediate-term loans typically paid back in five to seven years (often used to purchase machinery, furniture or fixtures or to finance renovations and expansion), and long-term financing that can be available for 20 years or more (typically for commercial mortgages for buildings or major equipment purchases).
And don't overlook state, county and city governments when youre looking for financing. Many economic development offices have lending programs for qualified small firms that may offer special terms.
Learn from other professionals. The SBA provides education and counseling through a variety of programs and partners. "It's not enough to give small businesses the money," SBA Administrator Karen G. Mills said in her remarks at the FDIC forum. "They need to do the business plan. They need help. They need mentoring. They need advice to succeed." She noted that the SBA has "a network of over 14,000 counselors" who can assist small businesses. To learn more about the SBA's programs, see For More Help or Information for Small Businesses.
Whether or not you borrow from a bank, you also should establish a working relationship with a financial institution that offers deposit accounts or other services you may need. Your banker also may be able to provide advice on how to expand your business or refer you to other local sources of assistance.
Also, if you have a question or a concern about getting a loan, the FDIC has resources that can help. See For More Help or Information for Small Businesses for details.
"Every small business started with a dream," Reynolds said. "You can nurture and grow your dream with a few common-sense strategies, starting with a good business plan and then consulting with your bank about what deposit and credit services it offers to help you along the way."

The land in question is privately owned and located west of Alabama 21 near the city's Public Square. The land owner, Pete Brooks, offered the property for sale at a recent public meeting about where Jacksonville should build its next school.
Mayor Johnny Smith later contacted the owner about his proposal and Monday the mayor presented a map of the property to the school board. Smith said the owner has offered what he thinks is a reasonable price, but the mayor declined to list it specifically.
"It's a really nice piece of property," Smith said. "It would be a good location."
Superintendent Jon Paul Campbell and School Board President Mike Poe said school officials would consider it as an option for construction of a new elementary or middle school. Before Monday school board members had identified just two pieces of property as potential sites for a new school.
One is the existing Kitty Stone Elementary School campus, where officials have talked about rebuilding on site. the other is a plot of city-owned property across from Jacksonville High School off of George Douthit Drive.
The city has committed to help the school board fund a school construction project jointly, but the educators are still in the planning phase of the development.
Poe said the system is placing equal emphasis on building elementary and middle schools in Jacksonville at whichever site members choose, but that school board members are not going to rush to do both projects at once.
"As much as we would like to do everything now .. if we had to put one above the other, we've said the elementary school," Poe said.
He said it will be better to do two projects well at separate times, than to do both in a hurry.
"I think we need to do that right so it serves this community for the next 50 or so years."
The school board is still trying to select an architect, choose a location to build the school and secure the funding for the project. The city has already committed about $4 million to the project, and the board is in the preliminary stages of acquiring about $7 million from bond debt, said Campbell.
Campbell said the board may choose an architect by the end of this month. After that, Poe said, the board will be ready to select a site for a new school.
School officials also discussed academic performance, technology and school activities but spent the majority of the meeting talking about construction.
"It's a big weight on our shoulders," said Poe.
Usually the school board and city council meet at separate meetings, but members said they wanted to work together to improve the community. It was the second meeting of the day for the Jacksonville Council, which met at 8 a.m. to discuss its own construction project, a complex that will house public safety departments and the city court.
The meeting was called to discuss a school construction project the two entities plan to fund jointly, but members said they hope the meeting is the start of a new norm.
"I hope this is the first of several we'll have," said Council President Mark Jones.
"It's good to have the interaction between the two."

Twenty-eight miles north of Spokane along the west side of U.S. Highway 395. This lake opens the 4th Saturday in April and runs through October 31st. The previous state record lake trout (30 lbs., 4 oz.) came out of here back in the 1960s. Loon is also known for its kokanee, which are now found in good numbers in the 11- to 13-inch range and have a generous catch limit. There are also largemouth and smallmouth bass, brown bullheads, yellow perch, bluegill, and a few other warm water species. In addition, tiger trout have been planted annually for the past few years.
A WDFW access and two resorts provide boating access and other services

Ulysses Simpson Kay, born January 7, 1917 in Tucson, Arizona, the son of Elizabeth Davis Kay and Ulysses S. Kay, he had one sister. He also was the nephew of the New Orleans jazz legend and cornet player, Joe "King" Oliver (renowned trumpet player and mentor to Louis Armstrong), who influenced him in his formative years. Kay's father was a barber who loved to sing. His mother, played the piano. His father used to sing ballads, hymns, work songs, and songs he created to keep his son entertained. His sister played Chopin on the piano in their home. His uncle, Joe, determined that young Kay should study the piano which he did with William A. Ferguson. He learned to play the violin and the saxophone while he was a student at Dunbar Junior High School.
At Tucson Senior High School, he played in the marching band, sang in the glee club, and played saxophone in jazz orchestras.
In 1938, he received his bachelor of music degree with training in public school music from the University of Arizona. There Kay encountered the music of pianist Bela Bartok as part of his piano study with Julia Rebeil and he was schooled in music theory under John L. Lowell at the university. He later said that those experiences gave him a completely new perspective on the field of music composition.
He received a scholarship to the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. While attending Eastman, Kay wrote his first composition: A Set of Ten Piano Pieces for Children (1939) and Sinfonetta for Orchestra (1939).
In 1940, Kay won first prize in a competition hosted by Phi Mu Alpha with the composition Five Mosaics (1940). In the same year, Kay earned a Master of Arts degree in composition, and continued his studies with Paul Hindemith at Tanglewood and Yale in 1941, and Otto Luening at Columbia.
From 1942-46, Kay enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserves, serving as a musician second class in the Navy band at Quonset Point, Rhode Island, where he played saxophone, piano, flute, and piccolo. Here Kay composed the following compositions: Come Away, Come Away Death (1944) and Evocations for Concert Band (1944) and New Horizons (1944), which received the American Broadcasting Prize.
A significant work of Kay's from this period was the orchestral overture, Of New Horizons, in 1944. Kay's Suite for Orchestra in 1945 received a prize from Broadcast Music, Inc (BMI). The following year, A Short Overture earned the George Gershwin Memorial Award. Kay received the first of many awards designed to give him more time to compose in 1946 and composed Suite, for strings, in 1947. The Alice M. Ditson Fellowship supported him during that time and BMI elected him to full membership. That same year he received the Julius Rosenwald Fellowship and a grant traveled to Europe and composed Portrait Suite.
From 1946 through 1949, he attended Columbia University and completed a movie score for the motion picture, "The Quiet One" and his Concerto for Orchestra was completed in 1948.
On August 20, 1949, he married Barbara Harrison. They had three children are Melinda Lillian, Virginia, and Hillary.
From that point until 1952, he lived in Italy, while there he wrote Symphony in E, his first major symphonic work. A consulting position with BMI lasted from 1953 until 1968. During that time he completed his composition Three Pieces After Blake, Six Dances for string orchestra and Serenade for Orchestra for full orchestra followed (1954). It was commissioned and premiered by the Louisville Symphony. A second one-act opera, Juggler of Our Lady, was composed in 1956.
In 1958, Kay went to the Soviet Union on a cultural exchange program with the first delegation of American composers. He ended the decade of the 1950s with a large piece for soprano, baritone, chorus, and orchestra, called Phoebus, Arise.
Kay's first major work of the 1960s was Choral Triptych, for chorus and string orchestra in 1962.
In 1963, he wrote tranquil music, Fantasy Variations, for orchestra, and Inscriptions from Whitman, for chorus and orchestra. Lincoln College in Lincoln, Illinois, presented him with an honorary doctorate in music in 1963, a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1964--65, while he composed Emily Dickinson Set for women's chorus and piano.
He wrote the film scores for two television documentaries for The Twentieth Century series on CBS, "F.D.R.: Third Term to Pearl Harbor," and "Submarine!," and another documentary called "New York: City of Magic."
In 1965, Kay was a visiting professor at Boston University. One year later, Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, awarded him his second honorary doctorate in music.
In 1966—67, he was a visiting professor at the University of California at Los Angeles. He wrote Markings in 1966, an essay for orchestra that took its title from Dag Hammarskjold's book, published posthumously. Kay received a permanent appointment to the faculty of the Herbert H. Lehman College of the City University of New York in 1968. That year, the Atlanta Symphony commissioned him to write a piece for them. Theater Set premiered on September 26, 1968.
In 1969, the University of Arizona at Tucson, conferred on him an honorary doctorate in music and he received an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Illinois Wesleyan University.
In 1970, he composed a sextet for woodwinds and piano called Facets.
In 1972, he was named Distinguished Professor of Music at Lehman College, where he had been teaching since 1968. Commissions for new works continued to pour in.
The Juilliard School of Music commissioned Quintet Concerto in 1973 for five brass soloists and orchestra.
For the American bicentennial he wrote four works. Western Paradise, for narrator and orchestra (1975), Southern Harmony on February 10, 1976, Epigrams and Hymn, also in 1976, and Jubilee, based on Margaret Walker's book of the same title on November 20, 1976.
Kay's last major work was an opera titled Frederick Douglass, which he completed in 1991. "I have nothing especially other than its expressive content." He often wrote in a neoclassical style with modern harmonies, like Prokofiev, Shostakovich, and Kabalevsky who worked in the Soviet Union, but he could just as easily write in an atonal idiom. Kay's mature style, according to Eileen Southern in the New Grove Dictionary of American Music, "is characterized by taut but warm melodies, complex polyphony, vibrant harmonic and orchestral coloring, and rhythmic diversity." Kay benefited from the multitude of achievements of William Grant Still. With more formal education, Kay was able to open doors in the academic world that his predecessor could not.
Ulysses S. Kay was one of the most outstanding composers of twentieth-century classical idioms. He died on May 20, 1995, at home in Teaneck, New Jersey. He was working on a composition for the New Philharmonic Orchestra.

In The Star
Dec. 24, 1937, in The Star: A distinguished panel of local representatives from area civic clubs has announced its decision in numerous categories of Christmas decoration achievement at Anniston homes and businesses. Dr. G. G. Woodruff of 620 Highland Avenue won the grand prize for having the most original decoration while the other grand prize, for outstanding design, went to G. R. Krape of 1801 Lorraine Avenue. For organizational purposes, decorating awards went to homes located east of Noble Street, west of Noble Street, and in the "colored section." Also this date: When the bells of the Church of St. Michael and All Angels ring out tonight, it will be the 47th time they've done so in their existence. The bells were installed in the Anniston church the summer of 1890 and were consecrated on St. Michael's Day, Sept. 29.
Dec. 24, 1987, in The Star: Area retail merchants are not the only ones profiting from the usual Christmas shopping bonanza. Financial service corporations, such as AVCO, Barclay's and The Money Tree, to name some local businesses, have also done well. They're places that make quick loans on amounts less than $5,000 and people are finding they're viable alternatives to banks. "We've had one of our busiest seasons ever," said Mary Jordan, branch manager of AVCO. Barclay's American Financial will finance a loan of $5,000 at 14.9 percent interest for 60 months, thus permitting a small monthly payment — for five years.

How much do hybrid drivers really, truly like their cars? According to R.L. Polk, not all that much – at least not in 2011. Polk has released a new hybrid loyalty analysis that concludes that only 35 percent of people who bought a hybrid bought another one last year. The data comes from ...
