Let's go on with the show

Radiohead's new album hits the web
Five years after Radiohead's last album, myriad hints from the band marked May 1st -- Dawn Chorus Day -- as the date something big was gonna happen. The band ateased the web with rumours_of songs new and old, cryptic artwork, ominous mailers. But after years of waiting, nothing came... literally. Optimistic fans trying to pick up every last crumb_were left climbing up the walls_as they were shown how to disappear completely, with the band's official site and social media fading out
again, slowly dissolving little by little, one by one, before their very eyes.
It all came back Tuesday, as mysterious chirps and inkblots ushered in the sinister claymation music video for long-awaited track "Burn the Witch" [prev.], followed days later by an arresting P.T. Anderson-directed film for the somber elegy "Daydreaming."
While Radiohead's ninth album is not here now physically till June, it's available for download come 8th May_(today!) at 2 PM EDT on Radiohead.com.

"In my family, a B-flat was a fuckin' B-flat."
How Randy Newman and His Family Have Shaped Movie Music for Generations by David Kamp [Vanity Fair] Sure, you know of the Oscar-winning composer behind Toy Story and his endearingly offbeat songwriting, but Newman, 72, is also the patriarch of a clan that has helped shape movie music since the talkies.

Sibelius 3
Sibelius: Symphony No. 3 [YouTube]. There is no imagery and no drama—except that of the musical events themselves—for you to lose yourself in. This is like Haydn. You can't do anything with it except listen to it.

"Solar winds were my starting point"
Pluto, the Renewer is a short orchestral piece by English composer Colin Matthews, commissioned by the Hallé Orchestra as an addition to Gustav Holst's suite, The Planets. Program notes by the composer. Matthews commented on the piece, and Pluto's place, in an NPR interview a few years ago. The BBC's Discovering Music gives a good discussion of Holst's original suite (which you can listen to here).

In Paraguay, there is a special place named Catuera. It is remarkable for several reason, first is that it is the main trash dumping area for the country. The second is that there are about 10,000 people living there, making a living scavenging and reselling parts that they find. Third, they have an amazing orchestra. [more inside]
American Gothic, without the Pitchfork
Brian Carpenter is a master of dark Americana. Hailing from Boston, his style is fluid, mostly referencing early 20th Century American jazz and other folk/roots music. His first band that caught attention, Beat Circus worked in a self-described "American Gothic" style, releasing three albums with three different themes. But this is not his sole musical endeavor.

Towards a 21st century orchestral canon
In December, grad student and occasional NYT music writer Will Robin asked on Twitter, "What are the best large-scale orchestral works of this century?" He Storified the responses, with links for listening, and then on Tuesday, streamed the result: Symphomania, a 24-hour marathon of sixty 21st-century orchestral works by sixty different composers, on Q2 Music at WQXR in New York. Starting tonight at midnight, WQXR is repeating the stream. [more inside]

Become Ocean
John Luther Adams is a classical composer living in Alaska. His piece Become Ocean won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Music. It was commissioned by the Seattle Symphony and premiered there in mid-2013. Carnegie Hall hosted that same orchestra for a performance that Alex Ross from The New Yorker called "the loveliest apocalypse in musical history". WXQR has a full recording of that performance available. And now the official recording is being released and NPR has a limited-time preview online for listening. [more inside]
The orchestra was his instrument
When he beat the first bar of a great work, in his mind he was already in the last. In 2011, BBC polled leading conductors about the greatest conductor of all time. The winner? The German-born Austrian conductor Carlos Kleiber. Kleiber was an incredibly hard-working perfectionist. Some of his many seminal performances include a 1992 New Year's concert with the Vienna Philharmonic, a production of Verdi's Otello, and definitive recordings of Beethoven's 5th and 7th symphonies.
...until "the tiny errors became...so clear."
Auditioning for the MET Orchestra: "Why is there so much pressure? In part, because the candidates must prepare an exhaustive list of some of the most important and demanding parts ever written for their instrument. For Boris' audition, the list included a solo concerto plus eighteen excerpts from fourteen operas. Rob's audition included even more excerpts from both the symphonic and operatic repertoire, in which he had to demonstrate his abilities on no fewer than nine different instruments." [more inside]
Dust and Echoes
The world of video game music has blossomed in recent years, enough to support live concert tours and bestselling albums. But while most such work is licensed or contracted out to third-party composers, a rare breed make their living at a single company, imbuing entire franchises with their unique sound. And apart from Nintendo's venerable Koji Kondo, there is perhaps no dedicated gaming composer more renowned than Martin O'Donnell. From humble beginnings writing the jingle for Flintstones Vitamins, O'Donnell and longtime collaborator Michael Salvatori joined developer Bungie in 1997, penning music for Myth, Oni, and most notably the Halo trilogy -- an iconic blend of sweeping orchestral bombast, haunting choirs, and electronic ambience that became one of the most acclaimed and successful gaming soundtracks of all time. O'Donnell also helmed Bungie's audio department, managing voice actors, sound effects, and an innovative dynamic music engine, and was most recently working with Paul McCartney on the score for the upcoming Destiny. So it came as a surprise today when it was announced MartyTheElder was being terminated without cause (flabbergasted reaction: HBO/DBO - NeoGAF - Reddit). With O'Donnell following Joseph Staten, Frank O'Connor, Marcus Lehto, and other Bungie veterans out the door, what might this mean for the company and its decade-long plan for Destiny? [more inside]
The Miracle of Bali: Music from the Village of Pliatan (1969)
I Like Big Brass And I Cannot Lie
"How do you manage to breathe enough to play that thing?" Good question. It's one I've asked myself a lot lately because until recently, I hadn't practiced the tuba regularly in—(these are confessions from the tuba world, right?)—a decade, not since I took lessons in college. I've continued to play for TubaChristmas, for fun whenever my dad or brother feel like jamming, and for sundry church functions—just enough to warrant owning my own tuba. But, in January, I was asked to join a local British-style brass band for their upcoming competition in April. Not wanting to be the weakest link, as I suspected I was, I instated a weekly practice goal: a minimum of a half hour, four times a week. Let me tell you, a lot of rust accumulates in ten years.

One of the most emotional pieces of radio ever recorded
Friday November 22, 1963, at the Boston Symphony Orchestra: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a press report over the wireless. We hope that it is unconfirmed, but we have to doubt it. That the president of the United States has been the victim of an assassination. We will play the funeral march from Beethoven's Third Symphony."
These guys are fucking AMAZING.
Kiyohiko Senba is a composer who's been likened to Zappa for his ambition, talent, madness, and virtuosity, but his music is considerably easier to get into. Get ready, because his large-scale orchestra project, Kiyohiko Senba and the Haniwa All-Stars, is about to blow your goddamn mind.
Let's start simple and ramp up. Hohai Bushi sounds a bit like an Ennio Morricone composition but with more electric guitar. Taiikusai is so heartfelt, yearning, and soaring that I cried when it got to the climax. They cover both Franz Schubert's "Standchen" and Dusty Springfield's "You Don't To Say You Love Me" in ways that are all kinds of awesome. But the real treasure for me is this one, which begins with them playing the Village People's "YMCA" but then transitions into Daimeiwaku, a freaking phenomenal good original piece that sounds – I don't know how else to describe it – like James Brown and John Philip Sousa decided to play Katamari Damacy together and had a really good time. (With some klezmer and Leonard Bernstein thrown in there too, for good measure.) But wait! There's [more inside]

All That Meat
Somewhere in-between the space-age bachelor pad sounds of Esquivel and the gimmicky novelty of Spike Jonze sits Mel Henke, one of the most overlooked originators of the mid-century lounge sound. While most famous for versions of All That Meat, 77 Sunset Strip, and Pennies From Heaven, his largely instrumental wink-wink-nudge-nudge album La Dolce Henke is considered his masterpiece - The Lively Ones - The Twisters - You're Driving Me Crazy - Woman In Space - Farmer John - Old McDonald Had A Girl - See The USA In Your Chevrolet - Last Night On The Back Porch (Warning, historical sexism, erotic car metaphors)
And now, Haydn's 'Farewell' symphony
America's Orchestras are in Crisis : How an effort to popularize classical music undermines what makes orchestras great.
Recently, at the BBC Proms, the National Youth Orchestra performed a piece by the composer and electronic musician Anna Meredith. The name of the piece is HandsFree. It's not your typical Proms fare. The musicians put down their instruments and commence twelve-odd minutes of clapping, stomping, shuffling, shouts and even singing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Pitch Battles: How a paranoid fringe group made musical tuning an international issue.
The petition had its origins in one of the strangest conflicts to have overtaken classical music in the past thirty years, and many of these luminaries were completely unaware of what they'd gotten themselves into. The sponsor of both the petition and the conference that featured Tebaldi was an organization called the Schiller Institute, dedicated to, among other things, lowering standard musical pitch. ... But behind this respectable front lurks a strange mélange of conspiracy, demagoguery, and cultish behavior. At its founding in 1984, its chairman Helga Zepp-LaRouche laid out the Institute's role in surprisingly apocalyptic termsOriginally published at The Believer.

The Audition
The Boston Symphony Orchestra is one of the handful of orchestras for which musicians the world over will drop everything to scramble for a job, and the audition ranks among the world's toughest job interviews. Mike Tetreault has spent an entire year preparing obsessively for this moment. He's put in 20-hour workdays, practiced endlessly and shut down his personal life. Now the percussionist has 10 minutes to impress a selection committee and stand out among a lineup of other world-class musicians. A single mistake and it's over. A flawless performance and he could join one of the world's most renowned and financially well-endowed orchestras at a salary of more than $100,000 a year. The Audition. [more inside]
Richard Strauss' "Four Last Songs" sung by Jessye Norman
In the sixty-odd years since their composition, the Four Last Songs have acquired in many people's minds an unassailable status as simply the most beautiful music known to them, to be listened to in a dimly lit room and a state of rapt meditation, surrendering to the extraordinary spell of profound, other-worldly calm that they cast. This is not surprising. They were, indeed, the last things of any significance that Strauss wrote, between May and September 1948, at the age of eighty-four. (previously) [more inside]
Lux Aeterna
Does the success of Trent Reznor, Clint Mansell and others suggest an end to the dominance of the traditional orchestral soundtrack?
Here comes a Lion... oh yes, it's a Lion...
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba! It's been nearly two decades since that glorious savanna sunrise, and once again The Lion King is at the top of the box office. It's a good chance to revisit what made the original the capstone of the Disney Renaissance, starting with the music. Not the gaudy show tunes or the Elton John ballads, but the soaring, elegiac score by Hans Zimmer which, despite winning an Oscar, never saw a full release outside of an unofficial bootleg. Luckily, it's unabridged and high-quality, allowing one to lay Zimmer's haunting, pulse-pounding, joyful tracks alongside the original video (part 2, 3, 4), revealing the subtle leitmotifs and careful matching of music and action. In addition, South African collaborator Lebo M wove traditional Zulu chorals into the score, providing veiled commentary on scenes like this; his work was later expanded into a full album, the Broadway stage show, and projects closer to his heart. Speaking of expanded works, there were inevitable sequels -- all of which you can experience with The Lion King: Full Circle (download guide), a fan-made, three-hour supercut of the original film and its two follow-ups.

The Definitive Look at the Diversity of Our Planet
Five years ago this week, the BBC started broadcasting one of the most extraordinary documentaries ever to grace television: Planet Earth. The culmination of five years of field work, it employed the most cutting-edge of techniques in order to capture life in all its forms, from sweeping spaceborne vistas to shockingly intimate close-ups -- including many sights rarely glimpsed by human eyes. Visually spectacular, it showcased footage shot in 204 locations in 62 countries, thoroughly documenting every biome from the snowy peaks of the Himalayas to the lifegiving waters of the Okavango Delta, a rich narrative tapestry backed by a stirring orchestral score from the BBC Concert Orchestra. Unfortunately, the series underwent some editorial changes for rebroadcast overseas. But now fans outside the UK can rejoice -- all eleven chapters of this epic story are available on YouTube in their original form: uncut, in glorious 1080p HD, and with the original narration by renowned naturalist Sir David Attenborough.

Since you've got so much white space on the right, it would a lot better if you centered it.
Am I right in saying that the text h1 has been taken out? And are the category links images or are they being generated by Fireworks? Just curious.
Hi, there is a dotted line that runs between the menu and the posts, but it stops half way through. Nice design, by the way.
Looks good to me.
Looks ok to me, although I, too, get the dotted line only going partially down. I like your links at the top, with your content separated.

Coca-Cola to Pay $715 Million for Rights to Dr Pepper
Coca-Cola Co. will pay $715 million for the rights to distribute some Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. brands, in a new agreement prompted by the acquisition of its largest bottler.
The cash payment will allow Coca-Cola to sell brands including Dr Pepper and Canada Dry in some regions of the U.S. and Canada for 20 years, the Atlanta-based company said today in a statement. Dr Pepper also takes back the distribution of some brands.
Dr Pepper renegotiated its distribution contracts with Coca-Cola, the world's largest soda maker, and PepsiCo Inc. after both companies agreed to buy bottlers. PepsiCo paid $900 million this year to distribute some Dr Pepper drinks. The Coca-Cola payment announced today is close to an estimate by Carlos Laboy, an analyst at Credit Suisse in New York.
"The terms and cash amount are in-line with the previous deal with PepsiCo, however we believe some investors expected a higher payment to come from Coke," Laboy said today in a note. He has a "neutral" recommendation on Dr Pepper stock and doesn't rate Coca-Cola.
Dr Pepper, based in Plano, Texas, fell 64 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $35.85 at 4:04 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. Coca-Cola dropped 47 cents to $50.80.
Coca-Cola agreed to buy Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc.'s North American bottling unit in February. The distribution deal will replace those between Dr Pepper and Coca-Cola Enterprises when the acquisition closes later this year, Coca-Cola said.
Freestyle Fountain
The payment is lower than the $900 million estimated by Kaumil Gajrawala, an analyst with UBS AG in New York. The difference will be made up largely by Coca-Cola's agreement to give Dr Pepper access to fountain drink accounts and put Dr Pepper and Diet Dr Pepper on its new Freestyle fountain, Gajrawala said today in a note. He recommends buying Dr Pepper and Coca-Cola shares.
Dr Pepper, in a statement, valued the Freestyle access at $115 million to $135 million.
The Freestyle, a touch screen-controlled drink dispenser that expands offerings to more than 100, will be available in at least 500 U.S. outlets this summer, Coca-Cola said.
Dr Pepper said it will take back distribution of Squirt, Canada Dry, Schweppes and Cactus Cooler sold by Coca-Cola Enterprises in certain U.S. territories.
The agreement imposes new performance conditions on Coca-Cola, Chief Financial Officer Gary Fayard said on a call with reporters, declining to provide further details. Fayard also declined to say whether the new agreement includes a change-in-control clause that would trigger a renegotiation should Coca-Cola spin off the bottling operations.
Coca-Cola bottlers distribute about 42 percent of the Dr Pepper brand's volume while PepsiCo distributes 39 percent, Fayard said, citing statistics by industry newsletter Beverage Digest.

About Natalie Sweetabow
Let me be your Sweet-Art.™
I don't remember ever not being creatively inclined. My first painting, at age two, was made while sitting in front of our garage while my dad worked nearby. I didn't understand the Challenger explosion, but I couldn't stop myself from drawing the scene that interrupted Sesame Street. When I wanted Lee Press-On Nails in first grade, I made them out of carefully emptied pistachio shells and a coat of shiny red polish.
My whole life, I've felt compelled to express my perspective and experiences creatively. Sadly, I denied and starved this urge for many years; I dismissed my talents and became very unhappy.
After bidding goodbye to a successful-but-stressful stint as marketing director for a firm selling baseball infield dirt, I married, moved overseas and slowly realized that I have always been an artist. It feels so good to finally say that 'out loud.'
Art is in my bones and in my family tree. Henry Grant Plumb is a distant cousin.

Thomas Greene Park may not have a proper skate park — yet — but that didn't stop sleight-footed skateboarders from doing their thing on Saturday at the second annual Gowanus Grind.
In fact, you didn't even have to know a fakie from a frontside to join in the fun at the sometimes-forgotten park on Third Avenue, between Douglass and Degraw streets, where visitors watched and cheered on urban jocks, who tailslid and goofy-footed up ramps and rails set up for the day, which celebrated the space's future as a true neighborhood playpen.
Six-year-old skater Matthew Siegel of Park Slope tested his moves in front of pro Mike Crowley, 22, who gave him some pointers on how to tweak his pops and ollies.
Elsewhere on the congrete green, Cobble Hill visitor Declan Sheehy-Moss, 9, had a ball showing off his baseball skills.
Live music by Sonic Smithy of Boerum Hill, art activities and a free skate board clinic sponsored by Homage, the skate board shop on Smith Street, capped the spectacle, which also featured food donated by the Wyckoff Houses Tenants Association and Building on Bond.
The park is among the stops on the Greenlane network of skate plazas in underserved neighborhoods, and will feature skate elements by the summer thanks to a large donation of cash by the Tony Hawk Foundation and Open Road.
"These plazas are intended to attract everyone from your grandmother, to your mother, your baby and you," said Open Road's Paula Hewitt.

Dear Friends,
Greetings to you and your loved ones on the dawn of yet another year of our Lord. The world as we know it is in a very terrible state because of the vast amount of evil deeds. But love still remains in this world and such love is found in those who share the love of Jesus. The author in Ecclesiastes saw that love still remained in this world but he also seen something that was weaker and that is the relationship between people, People wanted to get love more than they wanted to give love. If you wind three pieces of string together, the string will support a heavier weight. In the same manner, people's relationships with other people make them all stronger. Two are [surly] better than one because they have a good return for their [hard-work] labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. [Ecclesiastes 4:9-10]. That is true about friendship, marriage and even business relationships. We pray that this be a year of togetherness for you and your relations likewise as with us here at New Life. Stay blessed
Sd/Rev. J. Meagher

These are the greatest little pumpkins. So versatile. For Halloween I used them for condiments,for thanksgiving I will use them for soup. They are very well made and the price is right.
Not sure if I'll use this for individual soups, etc. (don't have enough for my party) but they would certainly suit that. I'll probably use them for side snacks, sauces, etc. because they'll hold about two cups and the color is vibrant.
I wanted dishes to serve an individual pot pie, these are perfect and look great as part of my table scape for the fall
I bought the ivory set and they are perfect for presenting fall dishes or just sitting on my countertop as decoration. The color looks great and I love that these will get a lot of use in the fall and winter seasons. The size is good for a big portion if baking, but small enough to easily store away if using as decoration.
I loved the pumpkin bakers. I doubt I'll use them for baking but have used them for fall decorating. They are of high quality and almost wish I would have purchased more!
This product is exceptional. The quality is great, the shipping was super fast, the packaging unbelievable and with pricing you can't beat. Highly recommended.
I love these bakers and have added them to my October/Halloween Table decor. They are so cute and make my table picture perfect. I hope to serve some delicious Pumpkin/Carrot Soup in them very soon. I love, love, love them. Thank you.

John and Ben are wonderful hosts and very pleasant people! Chatting with them was highly enjoyable. They supported us wherever needed. On the other side we had our nice, well equipped, very calm, clean, seperate accomodation. And Kensington is a nice district and it's easy to go by train to CBD. It couldn't have been better.
Thanks again, John and Ben, for the great time! Heiko and I'm looking forward to seeing you again - next year in Greece or somewhere else. :-)
Absolutely lovely ! and im speaking both about the place and Ben & John
i needed to relax after travelling a while, and feel home - couldn't find better place ti stay
The studio is charming, the bed is awesome, you can enjoy the lovely garden and enjoy calm and relaxing moments
Ben & John take care of you with breakfast and anything you need
The neighborhood is great too, very nice coffee places around, the river and racecourse not far, train very practical to go to CBD (15mn max !)
and cherry on the cake : the wifi working everywhere ! ;)
+ price, compared to other places for worse services is great !!
I would definitely recommand what im calling now "home" in Melbourne
enjoy !
And thank you again Ben & John, je suis très heureuse de vous avoir rencontrés et je n'aurais pas pu trouver mieux :)
Sorry for the late review.
John and Ben are really wonderful hosts. They offered informations about the city and neighbourhood, nice chats, and really good breakfast which gave us a boost to a new day. There is a train station and a tram station in the near and another train station a bit farther. Transportation early in the morning and late in the evening is no problem. The garden room has its own bathroom and separate door. We enjoyed the time in Melbourne hosted by John and Ben.
Ben & John were wonderful hosts. Eager to please and help in any way possible. The accommodation was very clean and well maintained and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend.
My husband and son was made very welcome. Such a fantastic location and the room located in the back garden with it's own entrance.
Such a fantastic location, close to shops, cafes.
My husband took the bus from the airport to Broadmeadows station and then the train to Kensington. Was half the price of the airport shuttle to Southern Cross Station and then the train to Kensington.
Would highly recommend.
I recently stayed 3 weeks at Ben´s Garden Studio. It was lovely, the location is perfect. It is just a few minutes by train to Melbourne Central. Also the tram station and a supermarket are not far to walk.
The studio was perfect for just me and I felt really comfortable there.
John and Ben were great hosts, very welcoming and friendly. We loved the chats and general feeling of not just being customers. The room was very comfortable, with its own independent access. Breakfast was healthy and copious. Air con was a definite plus by 40° weather! The back yard was very pleasant, too. Kensington is a quiet neighborhood but conveniently close to the city. A very pleasant stay,
We recently had an enjoyable four day stay at Garden Studio 54. Ben and John met us and showed us around, including a quick run down on the local area, public transport etc. The studio is modern, clean & well appointed, with our own secure "front door" to a leafy back lane. Breakfast items and tea/coffee were available and topped up each day and it was tidied and serviced each day. The studio is in a very quiet area so no problem with traffic or noisy neighbours. We explored local centres on foot (several good cafes in Kensington and multicultural restaurants in Newmarket). Went by tram to the city and to North Melbourne. The train station is very close by and was a quick way to get into town. We could talk to Ben & John when we needed to, but otherwise it was quite private. Good value and happy to recommend to others. Cecily & Roy
We so enjoyed our visit at the Garden Studio. From the welcome to the daily service, we were well catered for. I would recommend this place to others. Only a short distance to cafes and train, it was ideal for us. Thanks John and Ben for a great stay.

A little question????
How was Mathew in the Battle of Tippicanoe (sic) if he was only about 7 years old at the time?
See Wikipedia article about the Battle of Tippecanoe here.
Perhaps at one time he lived in Tippecanoe COUNTY or a town of that name, and someone heard him say something about being at Tippecanoe and they made that jump. :)
Does NOT compute. If that doesn't compute, there could be more wrong here.

In-N-Out of sub shops to invade Orange County
[caption id="attachment_98077" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Courtesy Capriotti's"][/caption]
Updated 3/5/12: Just got word today that the first O.C. Capriotti's will open this summer at� 2487 Park Ave. Tustin, Ca. (at The District shopping center)
Capriotti's Sandwich Shop, a� Las Vegas-based eatery known for its daily in-store roasting of whole turkeys,� announced plans to open its first Orange County locations.
The 70-unit sub chain has four California locations in San Diego (2), Beverly Hills and Encino. However, the majority of restaurants are located in Nevada and Delaware. The first Capriotti's opened in Delaware 35 years ago.
Chief Executive Ashley Morris said the chain plans to open 20 stores in O.C.� over the next six or seven years.� He did not disclose where the chain plans to open in O.C. However, the company wants to open the first units in the next three to four months.
Annual sales for Capriotti's is about $50 million and growing, Morris said.
Morris said the difference between Capriotti's and other popular sandwich shops like Subway and Togo's lies in the quality of the product and its commitment to excellent customer service.
"We're recognized as the In-N-Out Burger of sandwich shops," Morris said. "Everything we serve is fresh and made daily in the store."
The Las Vegas Review Journal has awarded the chain "best sub sandwich" for the last 13 years.� For the last two years, it has been rated in the top 10� for customer satisfaction in fast-food survey by San Clemente-based� Sandleman & Associates.
Capriotti's offers hot and cold subs and sandwiches, including several vegetarian options.� Capriotti's introduced salads to its menu on Monday.
"It's our first menu extension in 35 years," Morris said. "It's something we've wanted to do for a long time."
Capriotti's prices range from $5 to $12 depending on the size and type of sandwich. Its best-selling sandwich, The Bobbie, is made with its house-roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and mayo.

In this video Jacqueline Boytim explains how spectrophotometers historically have been used by chemists to understand the structure of atoms.

In 1962 James Watson (b. 1928), Francis Crick (1916–2004), and Maurice Wilkins (1916–2004) jointly received the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their 1953 determination of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Wilkins's colleague Rosalind Franklin (1920–1958), who died of cancer at the age of 37, was not so honored because the Nobel Prize can only be shared by three scientists.
The molecule that is the basis for heredity, DNA, contains the patterns for constructing proteins in the body, including the various enzymes. A new understanding of heredity and hereditary disease was possible once it was determined that DNA consists of two chains twisted around each other, or double helixes, of alternating phosphate and sugar groups, and that the two chains are held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of organic bases—adenine (A) with thymine (T), and guanine (G) with cytosine (C). Modern biotechnology also has its basis in the structural knowledge of DNA—in this case the scientist's ability to modify the DNA of host cells that will then produce a desired product, for example, insulin.
Rosalind Franklin in Paris. Courtesy Vittorio Luzzati.
The background for the work of the four scientists was formed by several scientific breakthroughs: the progress made by X-ray crystallographers in studying organic macromolecules; the growing evidence supplied by geneticists that it was DNA, not protein, in chromosomes that was responsible for heredity; Erwin Chargaff's experimental finding that there are equal numbers of A and T bases and of G and C bases in DNA; and Linus Pauling's discovery that the molecules of some proteins have helical shapes—arrived at through the use of atomic models and a keen knowledge of the possible disposition of various atoms.
Of the four DNA researchers, only Rosalind Franklin had any degrees in chemistry. She was born into a prominent London banking family, where all the children—girls and boys—were encouraged to develop their individual aptitudes. She attended Newnham College, one of the women's colleges at Cambridge University. She completed her degree in 1941 in the middle of World War II and undertook graduate work at Cambridge with Ronald Norrish, a future Nobel Prize winner. She resigned her research scholarship in just one year to contribute to the war effort at the British Coal Utilization Research Association. There she performed fundamental investigations on the properties of coal and graphite. She returned briefly to Cambridge, where she presented a dissertation based on this work and was granted a Ph.D. in physical chemistry. After the war, through a French friend, she gained an appointment at the Laboratoire Centrale des Services Chimiques de l'Etat in Paris, where she was introduced to the technique of X-ray crystallography (see video below) and rapidly became a respected authority in this field. In 1951 she returned to England to King's College London, where her charge was to upgrade the X-ray crystallographic laboratory there for work with DNA.

Already at work at King's College was Maurice Wilkins, a New Zealand–born but Cambridge-educated physicist. As a new Ph.D. he worked during World War II on the improvement of cathode-ray tube screens for use in radar and then was shipped out to the United States to work on the Manhattan Project. Like many other nuclear physicists, he became disillusioned with his subject when it was applied to the creation of the atomic bomb; he turned instead to biophysics, working with his Cambridge mentor, John T. Randall—who had undergone a similar conversion—first at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland and then at King's College London. It was Wilkins's idea to study DNA by X-ray crystallographic techniques, which he had already begun to implement when Franklin was appointed by Randall. The relationship between Wilkins and Franklin was unfortunately a poor one and probably slowed their progress.
Meanwhile, in 1951, 23-year-old James Watson, a Chicago-born American, arrived at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge. Watson had two degrees in zoology: a bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago and a doctorate from Indiana University, where he became interested in genetics. He had worked under Salvador E. Luria at Indiana on bacteriophages, the viruses that invade bacteria in order to reproduce—a topic for which Luria received a Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1969. Watson went to Denmark for postdoctoral work, to continue studying viruses and to remedy his relative ignorance of chemistry. At a conference in the spring of 1951 at the Zoological Station at Naples, Watson heard Wilkins talk on the molecular structure of DNA and saw his recent X-ray crystallographic photographs of DNA. He was hooked.
Watson soon moved to the Cavendish Laboratory, where several important X-ray crystallographic projects were in progress. Under the leadership of William Lawrence Bragg, Max Perutz was investigating hemoglobin and John Kendrew was studying myoglobin, a protein in muscle tissue that stores oxygen. (Perutz and Kendrew received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work in the same year that the prize was awarded to the DNA researchers—1962.) Working under Perutz was Francis Crick, who had earned a bachelor's degree in physics from University College London and had helped develop radar and magnetic mines during World War II. Crick, another physicist in biology, was supposed to be writing a dissertation on the X-ray crystallography of hemoglobin when Watson arrived, eager to recruit a colleague for work on DNA. Inspired by Pauling's success in working with molecular models, Watson and Crick rapidly put together several models of DNA and attempted to incorporate all the evidence they could gather. Franklin's excellent X-ray photographs, to which they had gained access without her permission, were critical to the correct solution. The four scientists announced the structure of DNA in articles that appeared together in the same issue of Nature.
Then they moved off in different directions. Franklin went to Birkbeck College, London, to work in J. D. Bernal's laboratory, a much more congenial setting for her than King's College. Before her untimely death from cancer, she made important contributions to the X-ray crystallographic analysis of the structure of the tobacco mosaic virus, a landmark in the field. By the end of her life, she had become friends with Francis Crick and his wife and had moved her laboratory to Cambridge, where she undertook dangerous work on the poliovirus. Wilkins applied X-ray techniques to the structural determination of nerve cell membranes and of ribonucleic acid (RNA)—a molecule that is associated with chemical synthesis in the living cell—while rising in rank and responsibility at King's College. Watson's subsequent career eventually took him to the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) of Quantitative Biology on Long Island, New York, where as director from 1968 onward he led it to new heights as a center of research in molecular biology. From 1988 to 1992 he headed the National Center for Human Genome Research at the National Institutes of Health. Afterwards he returned to CSHL, from which he retired in 2007. During Crick's long tenure at Cambridge, he made fundamental contributions to unlocking the genetic code. He and Sydney Brenner demonstrated that each group of three adjacent bases on a single DNA strand codes for one specific amino acid. He also correctly hypothesized the existence of "transfer" RNA, which mediates between "messenger" RNA and amino acids. After 20 years at Cambridge, with several visiting professorships in the United States, Crick joined the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California.
In 1959, only two years after getting his Ph.D., future Nobel Prize winner Marshall Nirenberg proposed to probe the genetic code. The only problem? He had no experience in the two fields at the forefront of this investigation.

A Fuming Cauldron Behind a Green Veil
By WAYNE CURTIS
Published: April 7, 2002
SLOUCHED in wicker chairs on the porch of Roxy's Mountain Lodge, high in the lush green hills of Dominica, we could see the Caribbean shimmering beguilingly in the distance, several miles away and 1,800 feet below. This is how I like my tropical ocean -- as a scenic and distant backdrop. The beach as a leisure concept has long baffled me, and I should admit right here that the appeal of sitting on gritty seashell fragments while courting a melanoma continues to elude me.
In part this is why I felt instantly at home on Dominica, which is not to be confused with the larger and sandier Dominican Republic. This 30-mile-long island between Guadeloupe and Martinique has a smattering of dark volcanic beaches tucked amid palms, but for the most part it's ringed by picturesquely rocky coastline, and is noted more for soaring, cloud-capped mountains than tented cabanas.
Since sugar-sand beaches are the engine of economic development for much of the Caribbean, Dominica has remained more or less a quiet backwater -- no high-rise resorts, no golf courses, no five-star restaurants. Most visitors stay in unfussy guest houses or lodges, and prices are moderate.Our entirely adequate room at Roxy's was $50 a night last November, and that was the high-season rate. The larger and more expensive rooms at the lodge are $85, and filling multicourse creole meals can be had for less than $20 a person.
What Dominica lacks in beaches and fancy resorts it makes up for in hiking trails through rugged terrain. Dominica has four peaks topping 4,000 feet, and much of the mountainous island interior is blanketed with rain forest at lower levels and scrubby woods called elfin forest on the higher elevations. The oft-told story is that Columbus, trying to explain the island to Ferdinand and Isabella, crumpled a piece of paper and threw it onto the table, exclaiming that was Dominica. This tale always struck me as fanciful and implausible, right up until the moment I laid eyes on the island.
My fiancée, Louise, selected the village of Laudat after some cursory Internet research. Laudat (population 300) turned out to be little more than a wide spot in the road with a basketball hoop, but it was near Morne Trois Pitons National Park, in the heart of the island's best hiking, and served us well as a base for a series of day trips.
Roxy's is the sole major tourism enterprise in town. It's a gabled building with a tiled porch, a high-ceilinged dining room, a dim cocktail lounge and 11 guest rooms, which are divided between the main lodge and a newer structure to the rear.
Our room was small and austere. We had no air-conditioning or fan, but the high elevation kept the temperature in check during the day, and evenings were almost cool. (We were advised to bring sweaters but never wore them.) Anyway, we spent little time in our room, since the lodge and the grounds were nicely arrayed for reading in the shade, socializing with other guests and theorizing about the omnipresent neighborhood dogs, which had curiously large ears and lent Roxy's the raffish charm of a George Booth cartoon.
We found two drawbacks: no window screens meant that a single mosquito would invariably find its way in while we slept and cause small torment. And while the four-mile ascent to the village from the capital, Roseau, is paved, it's also frightfully narrow and fraught with blind hairpin turns, plunging drop-offs, and guardrails that appeared to be chiefly decorative. The drive was made all the more interesting -- for me and for oncoming drivers -- by the requirement that we keep our rented Suzuki S.U.V. on the left side of the road, British-style.
Roxy's doesn't have a pool, but it does have Titou Gorge, which is about 20 minutes' walk along an intriguing network of canals and pipes connecting to both new and disused hydroelectric works. The island's towering hills serve as a strainer for moist Caribbean air, and there's an abundance of clear, tumbling rivers, another trait that sets Dominica apart from the generally lower and more arid islands of the Caribbean.
The gorge is a tiny flooded cleft -- just several feet wide and 200 feet deep -- at the base of a forested hill. We swam into it against a steady current, paddling through a sinuous, narrow canyon that ended at a low and lovely cascade. About 40 feet overhead was a narrow slit overarched with ferns and thick foliage. The effect was magical, like swimming beneath a tall skylight of jade.
One of our day trips was to Middleham Falls, at almost 200 feet one of the island's tallest. The trek is about three or four hours round trip, and departs from a trail head with a parking area between Laudat and Roseau. The forest here, as in much of the island's interior, is stunningly lush, and even midday can seem like twilight. Châtaigner trees towered above us with wattle-like buttresses and weathered gray bark like an elephant's skin, and birdlike heliconia flowers offered up an occasional splash of sunny color amid the unremitting green. We were a long way from November in New England.

Adam Smith Revisited
Date: January 1967
Creator: Roden, Peyton Foster
Description: This study represents an interpretation of Adam Smith's attitude toward a commercial society based upon natural liberty. In developing the thesis that the two works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations, are logically consistent, it is necessary to establish the reason of reasons why Adam Smith embraced a commercial society based upon the "obvious and simple system of natural liberty." It will be established that he embraced such as system because it allowed the maximum accumulation of capital, which is the manifestation of being truly virtuous as developed in his Moral Sentiments. To go one step further, it will be seen that, so far as Smith is concerned, it is the rising bourgeoisie, the manufacturers and artificers, which is truly virtuous, i.e., accumulates capital.

Banking and Economic Growth in India
Date: August 1977
Creator: Anthraper, Alphiene
Description: This paper discusses the attempt to achieve balanced economic growth in India. The process is viewed as a transition of society from a traditional stage to one characterized by industrialization and economic growth, and which involves major economic, social and political changes. It specifically deals with the Indian banking system and its structural development since independence as a means to hasten economic growth. These changes in the banking system, through social control, and eventually nationalization of the major commercial banks in India,, illustrate the increasing role of the State in gearing the banking sector towards meeting the goals of national economic planning. The above events are related to the struggle between the moderates and those who advocate a more socialist approach to solving the economic and social problems in India.

Characteristics of Texas Border and Non-Border Banks and a Comparison of their Lending Practices
Date: August 1994
Creator: Neal, William R. (William Russell)
Description: This thesis presents a comparison of the loan to deposit ratios of Texas banks along the Mexican border and banks located throughout the rest of the state. Mean characteristics of the two groups (i.e. border and non-border groups) are presented. A multivariate regression model is used to examine the extent to which various operating ratios of the banks and differing economic conditions of the communities in which the banks are located help explain the loan to deposit ratios of the banks involved in this study. The model incorporates data from 1984-1989. No evidence was found to refute the hypothesis that Texas border banks have a lower loan to deposit ratio than their non-border counterparts. The evidence points to a need for developmental capital, supplied by some form of development bank.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel, it is much nicer that it looks from the outside and even from the pictures on the website. It is more updated that it appears.
Parking is a bit challenging as there are many other businesses sharing the same parking lot.

I want to be a werewolf, and I also want to a vampire. If I cure my Werewolf ability, will I still be able to change into a werewolf using my Ring of Hircine.
No, the Ring of Hircine allows for one additional transformation per day, but only if you are already a werewolf. If you cure yourself you will never be able to become a werewolf again, and also you may run into a bug that prevents you from becoming a vampire.
