Scaleup trends closely follow the larger bioprocessing industry. According to Christian Kaisermayer, Ph.D., project manager for cell culture at GE Healthcare Life Sciences the two significant drivers are process flexibility and complete solutions.
Underlying both trends are the rise in protein titers over the past decade and disposable bioprocessing.
Disposables play an obvious role in scaleup, i.e., that form factors for smaller single-use cell culture vessels (e.g. GE Healthcare's Wave Bioreactor™ systems) can be identical to production-scale equipment, thus facilitating scaledown exercises. GE offers Wave systems as "segmented" bags for parallel experiments or screening, with working volumes in each compartment ranging in volume from 50–250 mL. Each chamber is controlled for temperature and headspace gas composition.
"The upstream capacity crunch discussed just a few years ago never occurred," Dr. Kaisermayer says. "Accordingly, most products in development today will never see 10,000 to 20,000 liter bioreactors. Thus the focus on flexibility. Moreover, the sweet spot transition volume between disposable and stainless steel reactors has already surpassed 1,000 liters."
With few exceptions today's production engineers consider disposables at every level of process design, from benchtop to pilot scale and beyond. The more rapid setup and reduced cleaning and related validation associated with single-use bioprocessing improve equipment utilization—not just for final production but also during development.
"Personnel can now concentrate on their experiments rather than spending time on cleaning and sterilization," explains Dr. Kaisermayer.
On the subject of integration and "complete solutions," GE Healthcare's ReadyToProcess™ product line covers all unit operations from media preparation and cell cultivation to protein purification. Customers can source stand-alone or complete single-use technologies for end-to-end processes from GE and even engage their Enterprise Solutions team to design, develop, and execute entire ready-to-use bioproduction facilities.
Moreover GE's recent announcement that it will acquire media specialist PAA Laboratories further strengthens its upstream process offerings. Experts believe that most improvements in volumetric productivity—a key element in designing process scale—involve media and feed strategies.
Even in situations where development occurs in plastic, and production in stainless steel, the disconnect need not be problematic.
"Transferring a process from disposables to stainless can be controversial in terms of reactor engineering and fluid dynamics," says Dr. Kaisermayer. "Some experts feel that cells should be shaken, others that cells should be stirred. It usually doesn't matter because agitation intensity can be adapted to the robustness of the cell line."
PBS Biotech designs and manufactures single-use bioreactors with a twist. According to Daniel Giroux, vp of R&D, duplicating the agitation mechanisms of small reactors in large systems is problematic without subjecting cells to significant shear damage.
PBS' U-shaped bioreactors employ a patented mixing technology, the Air-Wheel™, that exploits the fact that cell cultures must be oxygenated. Air-Wheel uses the buoyancy of rising gas bubbles to turn the Air-Wheel structure, thus avoiding the need for external actuation of the stirring mechanism.
The result, according to the company, is rapid, homogeneous mixing and a high mass transfer rate with extremely low shear stress on cells.
PBS offers scalability from three liters for lab work, and 80 liters for preclinical and clinical batches. In targeting full-scale GMP production, the company plans to produce a 500 L system later this year, and a 2,500 L bioreactor in 2012.
"Since the mixing mechanism is proportional to the size of the vessel, Air-Wheel works more efficiently as bioreactor volume increases," explains Giroux, a definite benefit given that mixing is one of scaleup's biggest challenges.
According to Giroux, traditional bioreactors were designed for steam sterilization—essentially as pressure vessels. "They were never optimized for mixing. Mammalian cell culture reactors were adapted from chemical mixing tanks, which used shaft-and-impeller mixing."
As bioreactors grew in size, designers were more or less forced to retain the original form factor and stirring mechanism, including impeller design. "Which is why mixing and mass-transfer problems get worse as the size increases."
Designers of traditional single-use reactors, he says, never fully appreciated that cleaning was unnecessary. Except for Wave, now part of GE, they mostly retained the shape and mechanical characteristics of traditional tanks. "But it becomes difficult to put impellers into the right locations."
He claims that at three liters, glass or stainless steel reactors exhibit up to ten times as much shear as the PBS bioreactors. "Our shear goes up a bit at higher scale, but very little." Ditto for mixing time. Time to 95% mixing is claimed to be less than one minute.
"If you have a tool where critical parameters are so similar across all scales, scaleup will be much easier."
What about cells for which shear is not a problem? Many such lines exist, Giroux says, but for early-stage development lines, where shear sensitivity is unknown, knowing that shear will not be a problem across production scales is no small comfort.

New Covenant Bound by Tony Crunk (The University Press of Kentucky, 2010, $19.95)
Tony Crunk's exciting new book of poems, "New Covenant Bound," offers insight into an often-ignored period of Kentucky history.
Over a 30-year period (from 1935 to 1969), 28,000 Kentucky residents were forced to sacrifice their homes and relocate in order to make way for Kentucky Lake in the 1930s, Lake Barkley in the 1950s and Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in the 1960s. Crunk tells the story of one family who experienced this dislocation and the effect it had on their lives.
Article Photos
A grandmother and her grandson tell the story of her move from Bethel Grove to New Covenant. When the grandmother speaks, Crunk uses narrative prose, and when the grandson speaks his words are lyric verse. The grandmother's narrative and the grandson's poetry skillfully alternate throughout the book and paint a vivid picture of the loss and disorientation faced by this family.
The grandmother begins by telling how the Tennessee Valley Authority notified the homeowners that an electric plant was to be built and a man-made lake added to the region: "We were to be moved off the land and the land flooded." Later we learn that the home which was to be destroyed had been in the family for four generations. In the poem "Parting," the woman's grandson addresses his father, the last one to be born in the house in Bethel Grove. The son says to the father "the future was/a house you lived in/that could not stand." This observation is interspersed with the grandmother's reflection: "Two more years and everything we had in this world would be under a hundred foot of water."
In "Leaving New Covenant," the grandson speaks of his discomfort with the town of New Covenant, where the family was forced to make a new life before he was born. In "Self: Portrait," he is still haunted by the deliberate flooding of Bethel Grove to create the lake. Even though he has left New Covenant and is in a new city, he says, "under rivers of darkness/ I am walking." However, he does not stay away for long. In "Return," he gives an account of his journey "back to the western lakes/where Bethel Grove/lies buried beneath the black water/of my grandmother's memory." At first light he is "leaning on a rail/looking south/from the dam's observation deck."
As the grandmother continues her reflections, we find it is 40 years later. In "Homecoming," the grandson speaks of the two things of his grandmother's that he was allowed to see: "her Bible with the hand-tinted illustrations" and "her hatbox of old photographs/she kept beneath her bed." Next, the grandmother reflects on how "the TVA came to move all the graveyards." The TVA also cut down all the trees and burned down the homes the residents were forced to abandon. In the poem "Exile," the grandson depicts the family's move to New Covenant. In "Nightfishers," the grandson, born after the move, describes his inheritance as "memory of the home I've never seen."
The grandmother mourns what her life became after moving from Bethel Grove to New Covenant. In order for the family to survive, she had to become a factory worker. She misses the freedom and the beauty of the natural world she enjoyed in Bethel Grove.
The most vivid and profound lament for Bethel Grove is the grandson's poem, "Prayer," which begins with an invitation to the dead: "There where my breath enters the darkness/and I cannot yet follow/you who are lost/await me." The visual beauty of the poem peaks with the description of a blue dragonfly: "the delicate/stained glass webs of its wings/lifting from the footprint/I leave." Crunk closes with the grandson's final meditation, "New Covenant Bound," which sums up the family's forced relocation to the town of New Covenant.
Crunk's "New Covenant Bound" is a book which provides a necessary education for anyone interested in the fate of exiles in general. From the painful story of grandmother and grandson we learn what it means to eat the bitter bread of displacement and to end up feeling like a permanent wanderer with no real home for the heart or soul.

quote: Adobe is dropping mobile Flash because it joined Apple in seeing that HTML5 is superior. Dead argument.
quote: However, HTML5 is now universally supported on major mobile devices, in some cases exclusively. This makes HTML5 the best solution for creating and deploying content in the browser across mobile platforms. We are excited about this, and will continue our work with key players in the HTML community, including Google, Apple, Microsoft and RIM, to drive HTML5 innovation they can use to advance their mobile browsers.
quote: 4. The overall bar for apps is still higher, sorry. Not to mention that Google's mobile VP Andy Rubin openly despises tablet-native apps; he only wants universal apps, and he does nothing to help you find tablet-native apps on Google Play. Which platform as a tablet developer would you rather support?

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Drug delivery seems to be a major theme here this year. I hope Light Sciences Oncology CEO Llew Keltner will forgive my stretching the concept to include the technology his company has developed which is promising to make light-activated therapy for cancer a clinical reality. The traditional approach to light-activated therapy uses a laser to deliver the light, which is not really practical in the clinic. The LSO product, Aptocine™ is a combination of an LED array delivered to a tumor via biopsy and a non-toxic water soluble photosensitive compound, talaporfin sodium. Phase III results in hepatoma are due soon and a Phase III in metastatic colorectal cancer is recruiting patients. Changing the way the light is delivered has actually altered the way the therapy works. The 'old' light-activated therapy kills cancer cells by necrosis but Aptocine triggers apoptosis which, in turn, raises an immune response to the tumor. Or, as Keltner puts it 'We have found a way of turning light-activated therapy from a way of merely destroying tumor tissue into a two step therapy.'
Turning to more traditional – but still innovative - drug delivery, Ivan Coulter, CEO of Sigmoid Pharma made a few observations. ' Drug delivery, with increasing product lifecycle pressure on portfolios, pipeline dearth and patent death has never been more obvious as a way forward. There is a growing need to unblock pipeline potential and extend patent life. The underlying technical need is for a flexible technology that simultaneously address solubility, permeability and controlled release capability that can ensure that the drug reaches its target intact, in the right concentration and at the right time, somewhat analogous to always-on broadband, a 24-7 solution. ' It'll come as no secret that Dublin-based Sigmoid has an answer to this – but I'll hold back on that till the December issue! Coulter adds 'In biologics, there is a need for alternative delivery formats, including oral. The next 2-5 years will see a revolution in this area. Sigmoid addresses the stability issues and will enhance bioavailability. Other companies are developing advanced conjugation approaches, based on PEGylation, HESylation and others which will further enhance half-lives.'
On the last point Almac Group just launched its site-specific PEGylation technology. This should be a significant advance in delivery of drugs like interferon – because conventional PEGylation introduces PEG (which is there to increase half-life) in an uncontrolled manner that may impede the drug's activity. Site-specific PEGylation should improve potency of the drug compared with conventional PEGylation (and the Almac team showed me some nice data on this).
A final thought – BIO-Europe moves back to Germany next year, to the excellent location of Munich. BIO-Europe is like the Olympics – everyone wants it in their city, not least because it's a fine way of showcasing your local facilities and talent. I've met people from Hungary, Poland, Estonia, Russia, Lithuania and the Czech Republic here this year. So how about moving the conference east of Vienna one year soon – to give these countries a chance to get themselves a better place on the biotech map?

i really think we should trade him now while we can get somethin decent i think were gonna be really dissapointed this season and realize he only had a good year because of lidstrom
he was +23 this season and prior to that never went in the double digits in the last 3 seasons he played for 5 teams
I would much rather take a chance on like justin schultz and give him a guaranteed spot to start the season ... give him a 20 game trial at the least instead of risking losing him to another team who will guarantee him a spot , hes suppose to be a cant miss where as white i think will be gone after next year .... even if we cant land schultz id still trade white , hes highly overrated in my eyes
I first noticed White when he played against us in San Jose and thought he was a great little player. When we poicked him up I was so happy, I think White has been a fantastic addition. Low cost, high energy, gives his all, safe and for a small guy he plays bigger then some of our big guys... yes I'm looking at you Ericsson "The friendly giant". Trading White would be a dumb and pointless move imo.

This issue of Myeloma Today is sponsored in part by an unrestricted educational grant from Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
Dr. Rafat Abonour, Oncology Nurse Gina Smith and other members of the Indiana University Cancer Research Center organized a patient dinner in Indianapolis on October 17th, 2002. There was quite a crowd, with more than 150 patients and caregivers in attendance. This was the second annual patient dinner for the folks in Indiana, where there are not yet any myeloma support groups.
Invited speakers included Dr. Kenneth Anderson of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Mike Katz from the International Myeloma Foundation.
Dr. Anderson presented an overview of current research in myeloma. While the briefing was a bit technical, the overall message is clear—there is a lot of very exciting work going on in understanding the biology of myeloma that is opening up new ways to approach treatment of the disease.
Gloria and Timothy Hortsmeyer with IMF Board Member Mike Katz
Mike Katz discussed lessons learned as a patient in the twelve years since his diagnosis. The attendees were very engaged in the discussion, asking some very good questions and sharing some of their own war stories.
People stayed well past the end of the program to take advantage of the opportunity to talk to others battling myeloma. We salute Dr. Abonour, Gina Smith, and the dedicated staff from the Indiana University Cancer Research Center for all of their hard work. We also thank Celgene, Novartis, and Amgen for their support of this very important patient event.

Obama needs a lasting message

Barack Obama's triumph over his recalcitrant opposition during the government shutdown pointed to the deep divisions in the Republican Party. Sen....
President Stompy Feet was only one whining about it.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Govt shutdown should have continued! No one was hurt by it except the Progressives! They whined the entire time. How typical!! LOL.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Oh it's perfectly 'clear' what democrats want in the future for Americans; TAXES, TAXES, TAXES!!!
Obama is real clear on his goals; destroy American workers; industry; and health of Americans. Destroy medical community. He's succeeded in doing just that!!
Socialism is the goal! With the democrats in control.....in control of everything you do, say, eat, or where you work. And you'll be lucky if you can afford to have a home, car, or food to eat when they're done. Shutdown did not hurt anything. That is WHY Obama the thug sent his other thugs out to 'forcibly' make it harder on folks. He picked on 90 some year old veterans at National Parks; picked on children at zoos; WOW; what a brave man he is to pick on the most vulnerable people. Dems can't confront those folks they feel threatened by so they pick on children and elderly.
The 'surprise' that shocked these democrats like Pelosi, Obama, and Harry Reid was that the 90 year old vets in wheelchairs couldn't even be stopped!

The Candied Yam cocktail was cooked up by the mixologists at Bulldog Gin as part of a series of drinks inspired by the fall season. Others also include savory ingredients such as kale, beets and tomatoes – all of which may be surprising to find in a drink.
Why not raise a glass to a new twist on an old classic this holiday?
Want to make the Candied Yam cocktail yourself? Get the recipe below:
The Candied Yam
1½ oz gin (Bulldog is preferred)
1 oz roasted sweet potato puree
½ oz. hazelnut liqueur
½ oz. simple syrup
½ oz fresh lemon juice
Dash of vanilla extract
Twist of lemon
Shake all ingredients vigorously and strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Why not shoot wildlife with a camera instead?
I am, no doubt, one of a silent majority who was inspired by the letter titled, "Killing of squirrels sends awful message." Fundraising through the "sport" of killing wildlife is worse than appalling. It is disgustingly evil.
To be sure, sport hunting is legal. But was it contemplated in our Second Amendment's right to bear arms that frontiersmen defend themselves by killing innocent creatures for recreation? I've always, mistakenly, thought that sport meant two opposing, willing participants. Not so. Today's sportsmen load up like bullfight matadors knowing their quarry has little chance of survival. Too few hunters hunt for meat on a plate. Many hunt for a plateful of trophies.
So, here's an idea for the Holley Fire Department fundraiser. After entrance fees are paid, "hunt" for wildlife of choice. Once sighted, snap a camera shot. Then award prizes for the loveliest, most unique photos.

The ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating continues this week in Lake Placid, USA, for the fifth installment of competition known as the Skate America.
Your thoughts?
The ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating continues this week in Lake Placid, USA, for the fifth installment of competition known as the Skate America.
Your thoughts?
So our intrepid scribe lists Sasha tenth, if she appears at all, ahead of only Sara Hecken (Sara beat Rachael Flatt in a junior grand prix event a couple of years ago) and crowd favorite Tugba Karademir.
Actually, there are several ladies in the bottom half that could surprise is, like Gebova and Getevanishvilli.
Last edited by Mathman; 11-08-2009 at 10:19 PM.
I am so excited. I feel like it is nationals already
Oh, goody, Tugba will be there! I always love watching her. And Gedevanishvili.
And Sasha, I hope!
For me, there is only 3 skaters that make it worth while travelling to Lake Placid: Another look at YuNa, the appearance of Sasha, and Rachael doing a better jazz number than what she did at TEB.
YuNa will win or else it is the biggest upset in the history of figure skating.
Sasha to see what Rafael has done for her. Is it too late?
Rachael as above. Why did she decide on tricky jazz music for the SP? It's so much easier to jump to the Thais Interlude.
Don't see much else here, but I'll watch on EST.
I know people are all cynical but I just can't help it: I really hope Sasha shows up. Who knows how her jumps are but judging from her recent shows, her spirals and lines are STILL the best in the business. Maybe not quite as good as they were for her in '06 but still better than anyone else in '09. It'll be worth it just for that.
Ryan Bradley ... the Alissa Czisny of men's figure skating. Here's hoping he finally has his Paul Wylie moment. Go Ryan!!! You CAN do it. You know you can.
13th Nov. (Fri) is Xue Shen's birthday,,,,,,
wish her happy birthday, and get a new short program PB on that day...
I'll concede the intensity point, but Tomas Verner does not have as much attention to performance as Evan Lysacek? That's got to be a joke, right?Verner does not have the intensity and attention to performance of Lysacek, but he boasts a stronger arsenal of jumps.
Actually he's not placing her at all. While her tendonitis is doing better (about 90%?), I'm a bit pessimistic about her showing up. Therefore I edited the article to allow some wiggle room.So our intrepid scribe lists Sasha tenth...
Agree with Buttercup and schiele. Walker doesn't have to like Verner's perfomances, but to claim that Verner doesn't have the attention to perfomance of Lysacek is over the top IMO.
I won't give up on Fumie yet. I want her in Vancouver. Not because of other japanese ladies failing or wd, but because of Fumie making improvements from Beijing. Anyway, she will probably compete in 4 CC. My fingers crossed for Fumie.In Beijing, Suguri finished in a disappointing seventh place with a score more than 30 points less than her personal best. A top five finish in Lake Placid would be a step in the right direction for the three-time Four Continents Champion, but it appears as if this might be the last time that we see her in international competition.
In defence of Lysacek, who is by no means my favorite, he did a workman like interpretation of Don Jose in his Carmen. No one has ever interpreted Don Jose but often it's the Toreador. Oh for the bravura.
Very sad news about Sasha, but she's doing the right thing by letting the injury heal.
Does anyone know exactly what is wrong? I hope it's not the knees.
Also, her replacement at SA. Is it that the USFS has the choice to select without regard to skaters who do well at Regionals? Not trying to put down Emily. Just wondering about the procedures.
In my opinion, there's no need for Sasha to rush a return if she's not ready. What would be the point of skating poorly and potentially losing out to two of her competitors at Nationals (Flatt AND Gilles). I'm patient enough to wait for her return at U.S. Nationals. How does the U.S. select the Olympic team? By committee? I know Skate Canada picks based on international results as well...

CHARLES TOWN - Attorney General Patrick Morrisey issued his first formal opinion Thursday evening, and it was the information the Jefferson County Commission had been waiting for since Jan. 18.
Since former Sheriff Robert "Bobby" Shirley left the county with a "black eye," according to Commissioner Walt Pellish, the commission has been unsure of what steps the state will or will not allow for it to take to find Shirley's replacement.
Five questions were presented to Morrisey's office from the commission: is there a timeframe in which the commission must appoint; when should an election be held to fill an unexpired term; can a special election be held; if a special election is held, when is it allowed to be held; and how should candidates be nominated.
In his six-page response to the commission, Morrisey indicated that the county commission should act as quickly as possible in filling the current vacancy. According to commission president Dale Manuel, this means the county should look to make an appointment.
"I don't want to delay this, and we should go ahead and carry on with the process, in my opinion," Manuel said Friday.
The commission is required to officially post for interested residents of the county to apply for this position. Applicants are required to be of the Democratic party and reside in Jefferson County.
Interim manager of the department Jesse Jones said he is not interested in pursuing the sheriff's position, but is comfortable handling the department until an appointment can be made.
According to Morrisey's opinion, when a position is vacated prior to the general election, an appointment must be made, and that appointment will expire at the time of the next general election, which is in 2014.
Options have previously been discussed among the commissioners of allowing Jones to continue in his current role until the next general election or holding a special election in place of making an appointment. Manuel said due to Morrisey's response, the commission will not be able to pursue either of those options.
Currently, the county commission is not planning to hold a special meeting, but rather will take action on the path forward during its next regular meeting.
At Thursday's meeting, prior to Morrisey's released opinion, the commissioners decided to carry forth the topic as an agenda item until a decision on how to proceed could be reached.

What's the #1 cause of aging skin?
Almost 80% of skin aging is due to environmental factors like pollution, the sun and smoke.* These environmental factors can create free radicals, which in turn can cause oxidation. An example of oxidation is an apple turning brown when it is cut and exposed to oxygen in the air. Thank goodness for antioxidants in general and Idebenone in particular. As a force for good in the cellular world, antioxidants protect the healthy cells in our body. If antioxidants are a force for good, Idebenone, the most powerful antioxidant**, is your skin's super-hero. First developed by a leading Japanese pharmaceutical company back in 1986, Idebenone was subsequently discovered by German research scientists to prevent skin aging when topically applied to skin.
*Baumann, L. "Skin Ageing and Its Treatment," Journal of Pathology. 2007.
**Idebenone has earned its title as the most powerful antioxidant when compared to other common antioxidants (alpha lipoic acid, kinetin, vitamin C, vitamin E and coenzyme Q10) by scoring an Environmental Protection Factor™ of 95 out of 100

Allison long boards are about as good as it gets on the east side.
Printable View
Roy Stuart is DA MAN!!!
You can always tell a good shaper by the price of his boards.
Shaping's one thing and glassing a whole other; the right combo is worth $$ for sure.
In my experience Scott Busbey (In the Eye) Bob Yinger, Robert August and Joe Bark. I'll throw in DVG (Dave Van Ginkel) from Capetown too. (I ordered a board before going, picked it up a week after arrival, then wire transferred the cash when I got back home (a month later), not many shapers make you a board and let you walk out of the factory and surf it 10 mins later, without paying, usually the opposite.
If you go to Hatteras,look around and you'll see In The Eye Surfboards everywhere.You'll also see Scott Busbey, the shaper,surfer,shop co-owner with his wife,Carol, and Curtis Cromwell, the glasser. Scott will give you as much or as little help and time as you desire ordering a board from him. Quality, Performance, Honesty. All hand shaped, meaning he has a feel and an eye for shaping. The tools he uses are just that,it's his mind,eye,hands that shape In The Eye Surfboards, and everyone down there's riding them and ripping.
Rascoe Hunt with Gale Force Glassing (GFG). Used to be the glasser for Tead Kearns until he moved to Hawaii... he started shaping and glassing his own boards. He likes to experiment with different shapes and can shape you a short board for under $500... check him out http://gfgsurfboards.com/
Dusty Rhodes longboards, classic noseriders built like a tank, last forever
+1 for Scott Busby. Lynn Shell and Redman (R.I.P.) too

Classical Crossover
Barbra Streisand, "Classical Barbra" (Sony Masterworks). When this album was first released in 1976, Leonard Bernstein rather predictably provided cheerleading for the classical world. Bernstein, after all, was a loyal employee of Columbia records at the time and not given to corporate fractiousness (and besides, let's remember the hilarious theatricality of Bernstein at a Grammy Awards presentation pronouncing a category winner to be Tina Turner, with astonishing enthusiasm that he clearly didn't begin to feel). Of far more mysterious enthusiasm was their label-mate Glenn Gould, not always given to proclaiming endorsements for those who bored him. In truth, Streisand didn't disgrace herself at all singing this classical program with an orchestra conducted by Claus Ogerman. Back then, Streisand was giving the world a sample of the kind of cult allegiance we'd soon see blossom crazily with Oprah Winfrey. She doesn't pretend to be anything but Streisand, but it's a very pretty record if it doesn't live up to the beauty of so many of the works themselves. There are more beautiful pieces from Canteloube's "Songs of the Auvergne" than the "Brezairola" which Streisand sings. And to understand how very much more could be had from it, listen to the all-time classic version by the great soprano Vittoria De Los Angeles. But no one needs to run away from Streisand either. The same is true of songs by Debussy, Handel, Schumann, Hugo Wolf, Gabriel Faure and Carl Orff. There are low notes here she's clearly not used to (even though Sarah Vaughan could have laughed them off). But she's mostly letter-perfect, if not inspired. For the new reissue version of it, you'll hear her perform two lieder by Schubert never heard before – "An Sylvia D.891" and "Auf dem Wasser zu singen" D.774. Her accompaniment on the newly heard Schubert songs isn't Claus Ogerman leading a symphony orchestra but rather just Ogerman at the piano. It completes the portrait of her dedication to the project, even if it doesn't all that much to its strength. 3 stars (Jeff Simon)
The Dann Zinn 4, "Grace's Song" (Z Music). Without listening to it, you might assume the chief attraction of this young saxophonist's quartet was 28-year-old pianist Taylor Eigsti, a former jazz prodigy who has grown up to be every bit as formidable a pianist as we always suspected. You wouldn't be entirely wrong but there's no question that Zinn's quartet is a good one and the tenor saxophonist leader is completely worthy of a pianist as exceptional as Eigsti. Listen to their version of Sting's "King of Pain" to hear a very fine jazz version of a song that should have had far more currency with jazz musicians than it has (among early Police hits, it's the one most influenced by Sting's past as a jazz bass player). 3 stars (J.S.)
Keith Jarrett, Hymns and Spheres performed by Keith Jarrett on the Trinity Organ of Benedictine Organ of Ottoeuren Abbey in German (ECM, two discs). It's not really jazz. Although it's not NOT jazz either. This reissue from 1976, in fact, is, probably the strangest record Keith Jarrett ever made, as well as one of the most ambitious. In retrospect, it probably says far less about Jarrett's gifts as a spontaneous composer and a performer to be playing a classical church organ from the 18th century than it does about the magnificent freedom and encouragement Manfred Eicher and his ECM records provided for musicians for whom he had the highest regard. Few recording labels in the world of music have ever encouraged as much musical ambition and independence as Eicher's ECM. Jarrett's oddity here is eternal testament to that. 3 stars (J.S.)
Frederic Rzewski, "The People United Will Never Be Defeated," performed by pianist Ole Kiilerich (Bridge). In April 1977 I listened raptly to composer/pianist Frederic Rzewski (ZHEF-ski) playing his 1975 "The People United Will Never be Defeated" in the Univeristy at Buffalo's old Baird Recital Hall. I was both thunderstruck by the work's overwhelmingly expressive power and dumbstruck at the simplicity of the elements from which the music is drawn. It was written in 1975 in response to the oppressive Pinochet government in Chile, and consists of 36 variations on a folk song of the resistance that is disarmingly simple but so captivating that you just can't get it out of your head. Unlike most sets of variations, Rzewski's theme does not disappear in the complexity of its transformations. It may not always be audible, but it seems omnipresent in fragments or in spirit, lurking around for an opportunity to assert itself. Even though the pianist must have a formidable technique to negotiate this work, it is not the fortissimo climaxes or the occasional odd sounds and "extended techniques" that give the music its unique memorability. It is the staying power of that simple theme, which seems to speak less of revolution than of the kind of dedication, commitment and persistence implied by the word "United" in the title. Kiilerich is a Danish pianist with the technical prowess to bring this work off magnificently. He lets the music thunder where necessary, but his approach is rather more introspective than most, and the lingering memory is of the persistent, overbearing optimism Rzewski's music implies. This is one of the cornerstones of 20th century piano literature, worthy to stand alongside such other monumental sets of variations as Bach's "Goldberg" and Beethoven's "Diabelli." Kiilerich's recording should convince any sensitive listener of that. It is also music whose extraordinary range of intensity gives the live performance a certain theatricality, so take note that on April 13, pianist Ran Dank will play "People United" in UB's Lippes Concert Hall on the Slee/Visiting Artist Series. 3½ stars (Herman Trotter)
New Year's Concert performed by the Vienna Philharmonic, Franz Welser-Most, conductor (Sony Classical). The wild popularity of the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Eve concert in the glittering Musikverein can be seen in the speed with which the recordings are hustled into release. As early as Jan. 4, the most recent New Year's Eve concert was available for digital download and on CD, through Amazon's CreateSpace Disc on Demand service. Now the CD has been released nationally, and so have been a DVD and Blu-ray. It includes some premieres – that is, music that has not been played at the party before. In honor of the Wagner year, that includes the splashy Prelude to Act 3 of "Lohengrin," and in honor of the Verdi year, the musicians play ballet music from "Don Carlo." I like the idea of mixing up the repertoire a little bit more. I don't think the Strauss dynasty would mind. Welser-Most is as good as anyone to waltz the Vienna Philharmonic through this festive, anachronistic annual romp. 3 stars (Mary Kunz Goldman)
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, "Texas Flood" (Epic/Legacy, two discs). One of the greatest discs – the first, in fact – of one of the greatest rock and blues guitarists of the past 50 years reissued with a never-before-released mind-boggling hourlong Philadelphia concert recording from the tour that introduced him to an ecstatic America. Here, from Oct. 20, 1983, is what Stevie Ray sounded like live in his absolute prime, when all he wanted to do was let the world in on what a monster guitarist Jimmy Vaughan's younger brother was. A truly great Stevie Ray live performance never released on disc before. Stupendous. Really. 4 stars (J.S.)

A rookie police dog and a more-seasoned four-legged member of the Buffalo Police Department's K-9 Unit are basking in praise for tracking down burglary suspects in two separate incidents this week.
In the first incident Sunday, Officer John T. Kujawa responded with Destro, the newest dog, to search 342 Scajaquada St., near Bailey Avenue, where Northeast District officers had responded to a burglary in progress and discovered a forced entry at the rear of the building.
"I gave a warning twice, and the suspect did not come out. I and Destro did enter through a break in the door, and I gave my warning again. Still no response from anyone," Kujawa said.
He then set Destro loose, and the dog located the suspect hiding in a bathroom, the officer said. "I leashed Destro and ordered the suspect out and down on the ground."
District officers then arrested Theodore A. White, 53, of the 1300 block of East Delavan Avenue, who was allegedly trying to steal copper from the building. He was charged with burglary, petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
The second arrest, of two alleged burglars, occurred Tuesday. Officer James R. Howe said Traffic Division and Northeast District officers summoned him to an unoccupied house at 164 Phyllis Ave. after police tracked the fleeing suspects there after receiving a tip of a burglary in progress at another home on Phyllis.
"I sent Stark into the basement and followed behind. Almost immediately his body language indicated that he was getting an odor and proceeded to search among all the junk," Howe said.
Soon after, two teens were located hiding behind an old dresser and were arrested. Charged with burglary and grand larceny were Jamar L. Mills, 17, of the 300 block of LaSalle Avenue, and a 15-year-old companion.
Buffalo Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda said a lot of the credit for the department's successful K-9 program goes to an international partnership with the Niagara Regional Police Service in Ontario.
"They have world-class dog trainers who train our dogs, and we're very grateful to them for allowing us to participate," Derenda said. "It is because of them we have the best police dogs in the area."

Dickey Rutledge Dingle died on March 15, 2013. Born in Summerton, South Carolina on December 11, 1921, Dickey was the son of Frances Broadway and Wallace Dickey Dingle. Friends and family are invited to a memorial service, Sunday, March 24, 2013 at Summerville Presbyterian Church, 407 S. Laurel Street at 3 o'clock. The family will greet friends immediately following the service.
Dickey was born a fraternal twin of Henry Broadway Dingle. He spent most of his youth in Georgetown and was to graduate from Winyah High School in 1941 when his Naval Reserve unit was called into active service a few months before he graduated. Dickey served as a machinist mate in the United States Navy on the USS Guadalupe during WWII. He and his shipmates were at sea when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and were diverted to Hawaii, arriving in Pearl Harbor a few days after the attack. Throughout the duration of the war, Dickey and his shipmates served in the Pacific fighting in many major battles.
Aside from serving in the Navy, Dickey had many occupations during his lifetime. He worked as a small-town grocer, owned and ran a logging company, and worked for Westvaco and Beloit Corporation. He ended his career as a salesman for Geer Drug Company, retiring in 1985. Dickey always said, "Retirement was the best job I ever had." It was in retirement that Dickey discovered his talent as a golfer. He had a ten handicap and a once in a lifetime hole-in-one at the age of 73. During his retirement, Dickey and his wife, Miriam, drove cross-country three times, visiting numerous states. A favorite of his adventures, retold many times, occurred during one of his cross-country trips with his wife. They stopped for the evening in a small town in North Dakota. Asking around, Dickey found that they had a nine-hole golf course. He headed over to play a short round of golf, and discovered a course with putting "greens" of sand.
Like many who grew up during the Great Depression, Dickey was something of a Renaissance man. He could do anything with his hands —electrical work, mechanics, building, refinishing—he could build and repair everything and anything. Growing up on the coast, he developed a love of boating, shrimping, and fishing that followed him into adulthood.
Dickey cherished his family, his wife and children, and had a deep and strong relationship with his grandchildren, who called him "Poppy". He supported his children and grandchildren in many of their endeavors, from helping them learn to drive, to teaching them about building things, to sharing with them the basics of golf. Dickey was a model of honesty and integrity, and he was widely known as a generous and kind man. His sense of humor, his ability to tease and get a smile out of just about anybody made him a pleasure to be around. He was the type of person who always saw what was best in people. Up until the end of his life, Dickey was engaged in intellectual pursuits. He read widely and was a quick study.
Dickey was active in his church, serving as grounds warden, deacon and elder in Summerville Presbyterian Church, where he was a member for over fifty years. He had many friends from all walks of life, particularly in his church family and in his Miler Country Club weekly golf group.

3 Reasons We Need to Reexamine How We Elect Presidents
#1. The Vice Presidency Is a Nightmare
In a modern campaign, the vice president serves exactly one function: balancing the ticket.
The presidential candidate of either party already knows that he (or he) is going to get guaranteed votes from their core group of registered party members. The people who attend Democratic rallies and load their cars up with Democrat stickers and identify, proudly and to anyone who is within earshot (but desperately trying not to listen), as a "card-carrying Democrat," are going to vote for President Obama in this election, but they were always going to vote for the guy (or guy) whose name was closest to the word "Democrat" on their ballot. Democrats have their core group of loyal and dependable voters, and Republicans have theirs (they're called "soft votes"). Every other category you can reduce a candidate to (race, gender, socioeconomic background, age) comes with its own set of soft votes. Not every woman will vote for a female candidate just because she happens to be a woman, but a small core group of women will, much in the same way that I'm in the soft vote core group of people who will vote for any candidate who talks openly about liking comic books.
But no one core group is big enough to elect a president, so elections live and die in the middle, with the moderates (and occasionally with outlier groups -- people who regularly never vote but make an exception for a particular candidate). What this means is that a vice president is chosen to balance the ticket and bring in their own soft votes.
In 2008, President Obama chose Joe Biden as a response to any moderates who were worried that Obama was too young and too inexperienced and too not-white to be president. John McCain chose Sarah Palin as a response to any moderates who were worried that McCain was a too on-the-nose visual representation of a party that was rapidly starting to look like and exclusively speak for old white men. Biden was old and white and smiled a lot. Palin was young and exciting and a woman.
Choosing Palin was a risky and bold move that ultimately resulted in embarrassing failure, but it was, briefly, a very smart move. In the election of 2008, Obama had so much buzz and momentum going that Democrats were already planning on how they'd redecorate the White House (they decided to stick with white). But then Sarah Palin showed up, and this random governor that no one had heard of was suddenly there to breathe life into the fading Republican Party. Eventually, we'd learn that she wasn't the strongest choice (and that is the nicest and most polite way I can describe that situation), but when she was first given the national spotlight, no one can deny that she was funny and refreshingly casual and downright charming. She gave speeches that were sharp and relatable and fun.
She did exactly what she was supposed to do. She balanced the Republican ticket and assured everyone that the GOP wasn't the Old White Guy Party, and she made some Democrats really scared.
The Palin gamble didn't work out, but it could have. If the GOP had done a better job training her to get her more prepared for the spotlight, or if the media hadn't so quickly fallen in love with highlighting her many flaws, or if the people who dug into her past to uncover previous political scandals weren't paying close enough attention, Palin would have just come off as a charming and likable ticket-balancing politician with folksy, down-home charm.
And then she would have been the vice president of America.
She's not, and that's very good, but the fact of the matter remains: She was in a position where she could have potentially been the vice president, which means she was in a position where she could have been the president. George H.W. Bush was admitted to the hospital with an irregular heartbeat, a condition that could have led to something benign and simple OR could have preceded a heart attack. If Bush had died as a result of these complications, Dan Quayle would have been president, a man who, at the time of Bush's surgery, had an approval rating of 19.
Why It Needs to Change
By choosing VPs based on how well they balance the ticket (that is, by focusing on playing good politics instead of picking good politicians), we're ensuring two things: 1) the chances that we'll ever get two brilliant political minds in the same White House at the same time are getting smaller every year and 2) in the event of an assassination or resignation, we're making someone next in line for the presidency despite the fact that they might be wildly unqualified for the position.
Sarah Palin and Swingin' Joe Biden were terrific ticket-balancers, but would either of them make a great president? We have no idea, because those just aren't things we're trained to look out for in election season.
Instead we'll hear that Biden and Obama probably want to rub each other's butts.
Changing the vice presidency would actually be tremendously helpful for everything on this list. If we gave the VP more power (Cheney actually wielded a ton of power as a VP, but upon taking over, Swingin' Joe immediately reduced the role of VP back to that of an adviser), there would be less work for the president himself, which would make the presidency less of a killing job (which means it would probably attract fewer lunatics). Additionally, turning the vice presidency into a position of power and importance means that we wouldn't have to look at potential VPs just based on how well they'd balance the ticket; we'd have to examine them with the same level of scrutiny we use when we vet presidents. No more Dan Quayles would be able to sneak into the White House because people would be paying attention.
It's probably impossible to change the current system at this point, but I'm still trying to tell a crabby, old American Government professor to suck it, so I can't entertain "probably impossible" as an option. I did my job by writing about this (which I believe makes me the John Adams of Cracked.com, a distinction I'm absolutely fine with, assuming that it makes Soren the tiny James Madison), and the rest is up to you. So, when you go into the voting booths this November, vote for ... this article, I guess?
Let's say that. Vote for this article this November.
Daniel O'Brien is Cracked.com's senior writer (ladies), and still secretly considers the presidency a backup plan if this whole Cracked thing falls apart (wildly influential American Government professor whose name escapes me).

Donning straw hats and overalls, calico dresses and bonnets, students at Parmalee Elementary School showed off their projects looking at life in the Southern United States during the 1800s.
The students in Donna Sutherland's fourth/fifth-grade gifted-and-talented class used everything from Powerpoint presentations to posters on Oct. 19 to explain to their peers about life during that era.
The Bergen Park Recycling Center is celebrating its 10th birthday.
How did the tiny 83-year-old Martha Mott get the center established when King Soopers stopped recycling in February 1999? Mott was desperate about where to take the 9 tons of newspaper she collected annually from fellow residents at Green Ridge Meadow Apartments. If she didn't find a solution, she would have to watch newspapers go to the landfill.
Five candidates are vying for three seats up for election on the Jefferson County school board in the current election.
Following are question-and-answer sessions with the candidates.
Laura Boggs
District 2
Laura Boggs runs a consulting business that addresses strategy, financial literacy and creating income while people sleep. She has two boys, 11 and 13, at Devinny and Creighton elementary schools and has lived in Green Mountain in Lakewood for 13 years. She is 49.
Wednesday's meeting was a continuation of the matter that was introduced Sept. 23 but has been a growing issue since last summer, when complaints about short-term rentals started surfacing in force.
Gorgeous weather, intense competition and a whole lot of fun summed up the Feline Football tournament Sunday at Bergen Valley Elementary School.
About 75 moms on seven football teams represented five Evergreen-area schools in the round-robin tournament.
The winners were the Ralston Elementary School Feisty Felines. Their trophy was a Barbie doll sitting on top of a football statue. Second place went to the team from Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen, which took home the Ken doll on a football statue.
Don't be fooled. These teams were serious.
At the Sept. 29 commissioners' meeting, Kathy Hartman, Faye Griffin and Kevin McCasky voted against the rezoning, which had been in the works for about a year.
"The Planning and Zoning Department is looking at alternative methods of legalizing short-term rentals," Hartman said. "A rezoning action allows short-term rental in perpetuity, even if the land is sold. We would have no ability to regulate the quality of operator."
Griffin said she realized the importance of balancing earning a livelihood against the rights of the neighborhood.
The results of a study exploring the costs and benefits of a combination arts center/community center in Buchanan Park will be unveiled at 6 p.m. Oct. 20 during a work session by the board of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District.
The meeting, at Buchanan Rec Center, will be open to the public, and public comment will be taken.
The district commissioned Economic Planning Systems Inc. of Denver earlier this year to gauge the demand for an arts-oriented development and the costs associated with its construction.
A 28-year-old Evergreen man was sentenced Oct. 9 to 22 years in prison for abuse of his girlfriend's baby. The 2-year-old girl suffered severe head trauma, causing her to lose her sight, as well as bruises all over her body.
According to a news release from the Jefferson County district attorney's office, Shane Michael Kendall was caring for the child while his girlfriend, Aislynne Edwards, was at work. Edwards had known Kendall for four months. He had lived in a mobile home with Edwards and her three daughters, all under age 8, for about three weeks.
The Jeffco Planning and Zoning Division will host a series of open houses to provide information to the public on the revised draft of the county comprehensive land use plan.
The plan is available for viewing on the planning division's website.
The planning commission considered a second reading of plan at a regular meeting Oct. 7. Several members of the public made comments, but no action was taken.
The planning commission still has the opportunity to make comments and direct staff to conduct additional analysis or reconsider objectives and strategy.
Wah Keeney property owner Richard Morgan could be subject to a $500 fine in connection with a Spruce Road driveway project that does not meet county standards, after failing to file an answer to the county's complaint.
Morgan and Xcel Energy are being cited concurrently for earth-moving operations they conducted separately on Morgan's property at 29592 Spruce Road in 2008 and 2009.
Morgan hired an attorney, was granted an extension, then missed the deadline to file an answer.

He demonstrated his puck-handling skills in a YouTube video three years ago, where he is standing in his driveway doing tricks with the puck on his stick.
"I wish I could take it off, but I don't know how to take it off,'' Sheahan said. "All the kids thought it was pretty impressive. If you look at it now, it looks pretty embarrassing. I was just having a little fun with the puck.''

Chobani yogurt is based on principle
Chobani yogurt is based on principle
by Hoard's Dairyman staff
Hamdi Ulukaya risked everything, and his Greek yogurt is now the nation's market leader.
"You cannot separate dairy products from the farm," said Hamdi Ulukaya, founder of Chobani brand yogurts who at one time was an employee on a U.S. dairy farm. "There are life lessons on the farm that you can't learn from a university," he explained to attendees at the 14th Annual Dairy Farmers of America meeting in Kansas City, Mo., earlier this week.
It is on that principle that Ulukaya started producing Greek yogurt in 2005. It is a rags-to-riches story in which Northeast dairy farmers have benefited as Ulukaya grew his yogurt business at a stealth pace. Since 2005, when he bought an 85-year-old processing plant, his Chobani brand sales have skyrocketed and now garner 19 percent market share making it the U.S. market leader. This is nearly $1 billion in annual sales.
Despite all this growth, Ulukaya is a very down-to-earth person who produces his product on one basic principle. "When making yogurt, it takes three pounds of milk to make one pound," he said with great candor. "You don't need a whole lot of additives. If you are good to yogurt, a cup of yogurt can be really good to you," said Ulukaya in a manner that easily related to the nearly 1,400 attendees at the DFA annual meeting.
Like everything about Ulukaya, his business is a no-nonsense operation. That included the selection for his product's brand name Chobani. Traditionally, it is spelled "chopani" which is the Greek word for shepherd. "It is a symbol of safety and good," noted the American immigrant who once called Turkey home.
What does the future hold?
"I think the yogurt story in America has just started," said Ulukaya. The next chapter of his business includes a Greek yogurt plant in Idaho. The plant will be 950,000 square feet and will use 6 to 8 million pounds of milk. Ulukaya admitted it might take two to three years to get to that level.
Since Chobani hit the scene, a number of competing brands have entered the market. "I love the competition," said Ulukaya. "However, don't ruin the yogurt with all the additives."

Pink Lady ArticleSunday, October 13th, 2013
Another issue of DRiNK is out, and I wrote a story on the Pink Lady. This one gets unjustly neglected, and I am as guilty as anyone. Much as I really like the Pink Lady, I only rarely get around to mixing it. A White Lady just seems 'easier' when that way inclined. And out in a bar? I'm not sure I have ever ordered a Pink Lady for myself, though I've ordered it for friends a few times. This is clearly color prejudice at work. But color prejudice aside it is also easy to forget how mixable calvados is. The gin and calvados combo in the Pink Lady (original version) is just excellent, and well worth trying if you never have. This cocktail is probably the single best reason (Chicken Normandy aside) for keeping a bottle of calvados handy.
