The Arizona Wildcats picked up three major Pac-12 postseason awards today: Junior guard Nick Johnson was named the Pac-12's Player of the Year, freshman forward Aaron Gordon was named Freshman of the Year while coach Sean Miller was named the Coach of the Year.
The awards, based on voting by the conference's 12 coaches, were announced this morning.
It was Miller's second coach of the year award in his five seasons with the Wildcats, who have had six previous Players of the Year in the Pac-10/12: Sean Elliott (1987-88 and 1988-89), Chris Mills (1992-93), Damon Stoudamire (1994-95), Mike Bibby (1997-98), Jason Terry (1998-99) and Derrick Williams (2010-11).
Johnson and Gordon were both named to the 10-player all-Pac-12 team, while guard T.J. McConnell was named to the five-man second team. Gordon and forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson were named to the five-man all-freshman team while Johnson and McConnell were place on the five-man all-defensive team.
ASU's Jordan Bachynski was named Defensive Player of the Year, while Stanford's Anthony Brown earned the Most Improved award.
On the first team along with Johnson and Gordon were UCLA's Jordan Adams and Kyle Anderson, ASU's Jahii Carson, Cal's Justin Cobbs, Stanford's Dwight Powell and Chasson Randle, Colorado's Josh Scott and Utah's Delon Wright.
On the second team with McConnell were Bachynski, Oregon State's Roberto Nelson, Washington's C.J. Wilcox and Oregon's Joseph Young.
UCLA's Bryce Alford and Zach LaVine, plus Washington's Nigel Williams-Goss, joined Gordon and Hollis-Jefferson on the Pac-12's freshman team.
Bachynski, Wright and Stanford's Josh Huestis joined McConnell and Johnson on the all-defensive team.
While Johnson finished 10th among Pac-12 players in scoring (16.2) during conference games, he often defended the opposing team's top perimeter threat and finished among the leaders in several other categories: Assists (14th, 3.0), steals (7th, 1.5), three-pointers made (15th, 1.44) and assist-turnover ratio (fifth, 1.8).
Gordon was the Pac-12's eighth leading rebounder in conference games (7.9) while also finishing among the leaders in scoring (23rd, 12.2), field-goal percentage (14th, 47.6), offensive rebounds (fifth, 2.67) and defensive rebounds (10th, 5.22).
McConnell recorded the best assist-turnover ratio of all Pac-12 players in conference games (2.75-1) and was third in assists (4.89) and third in steals (1.94).
The fourth-ranked Wildcats won the Pac-12 regular-season title with a record of 15-3.
Earlier today, Johnson was named a first-team all-American by the Sporting News while Gordon was placed on the third team. Sporting News placed only five players on each team.
Arizona fell to No. 4 in the AP Top 25 but kept its top spot in the NCAA's official RPI, the Sagarin ratings and ESPN's BPI.
The official Pac-12 Tournament bracket is here.

12:30 PM to 1:30 PM
Boston Bar Association - 16 Beacon Street, Boston, MA
Come join the New Lawyers section for a discussion
on the importance of cultivating a healthy pro bono practice as a young
attorney. As a young lawyer, the prospect of "taking a case" or
representing an actual client in court can seem daunting. However, pro bono work
often proves to be a young lawyer's greatest opportunity to expand their
practical legal knowledge and, furthermore, is essential to the reputation and
vitality of our profession.
Panelists Alexandra Gorman of
Skadden, Arps and Edward Zacharias of McDermott Will &
Emery, who have demonstrated their commitment to pro bono over the years both
through the BBA and their employers, will briefly describe their respective pro
bono practices and the methods they employed early in their careers to seek out
and succeed in their endeavors. We will then open the floor to
questions. Attendees should feel free to query the panelists regarding how
a young attorney can seek out pro bono opportunities, what types of
opportunities are available, non-traditional avenues a young attorney can pursue
to broaden his or her pro bono/public interest experience, or any other related
area of interest.

Lewis Hamilton says the Turkish Grand Prix showed Mercedes and Ferrari have made progress.
Hamilton told his official website: "I think Sunday showed how close it is among the top teams: we saw at the weekend how strong Mercedes and Ferrari can be when they have a clear run at a weekend.
"But we also know that we didn?������t really get the maximum from the package we expected to run in Turkey.
"As always, we?������re fighting to bring lots of new parts to the track, and it isn?������t always possible to run them ?����ǣ either from a performance or reliability point of view.
"Even before first practice, we knew we were going to have to scale back our ambitions on the development front for this particular race.
"Of course, that?������s disappointing but you have to look at the bigger picture: the championship will be won through consistency, so it?������s better to score points with a decent result than risk a non-finish through a reliability failure despite having greater performance."
Hamilton expects the two teams to remain a threat having got over their early problems:
"At the start of the season, we certainly expected Ferrari and Mercedes to be competitive ?����ǣ and, even when they couldn?������t quite deliver on their winter testing performance in the first three races, we knew it was only a matter of time before they got back into their stride.
"So seeing their pace at Turkey wasn?������t a surprise ?����ǣ it was actually more of a surprise that they hadn?������t shown it since the start of the season.
"Having more teams in the fight works both ways ?����ǣ it makes it harder to score good points if you?������ve got lots of other drivers taking points off each other, but on the flip side, it should make it harder for anyone to decisively pull ahead in the points table ?����ǣ which was something we saw last year."

In manual clearing of cheques, many errors may occur and the whole process is quite time consuming. The MICR technology speeds up the processing of cheque as it reduces manual efforts of sorting. Thus the 0 of Karnataka Bank, Ajjampura branch makes the system almost error free and faster. Use of Karnataka Bank MICR codes for Ajjampura branch, makes the characters readable even if there are other marks and stamps on it.
>>Ajjampura >>Antharagatte >>Begar >>Chowlahiriyur >>Hariharapura >>Kammardi >>Kudregundi >>Melpal >>Narve >>Niduvale >>Shirvase >>Tarikere
Karnataka Bank MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code is a machine readable code used for processing and clearance of cheques. Karnataka Bank MICR code for Ajjampura is a 9 digit code, in which first 3 digit represents the city code, next 3 digit to bank code and later 3 digit to branch code. 0 is the MICR code of Karnataka Bank for Ajjampura branch. MICR code for Ajjampura branch includes document type indicator, bank code, cheque number, etc. When a cheque goes for clearing, this code is read by a magnetic reader and then automatically sorted.

I got this small tattoo on my chest on December 27 2013. I was extremely disappointed in my artist's shoddy work and wanted someone else to fix it up. I then went and had a touch-up from a different artist on January 16 2014. He did a much better job, but it still was not to my satisfaction, and I spoke with him about it again, after which he offered a free touch-up. I had my second touch-up on February 6 2014. It was even better, but still wonky. I guess it really is difficult to fix something so small when initially it was a horrible piece of work. Attached below are photos of each of the tattoos, captioned "Tattoo 1"; "Tattoo 2"; "Tattoo 3".
I am now going to have this tattoo removed. I have done a lot of research into different tattoo removal methods, including Skinial and Tatt2Away, but I have settled on laser. I feel that currently, laser is the safest way to remove this tattoo without damaging my skin any further than the tattoo has already done.
I am desperate for an efficient removal method; I feel I just want to get rid of this tattoo and stop thinking about it, investing all my time, my energy and my worry into it. I am inclined towards the Picosure laser, as much of my personal internet research has heralded it as a new development in laser technology that promises to remove tattoos in much few treatments than Q-Switched lasers currently do. I understand that Picosure lasers are expensive and rare (especially in Australia) so my hopes are not too high that I will be able to get this treatment. In that case, I place a lot of hope on the R20 method of tattoo removal, which also promises to remove the tattoo in less time.
My main concern is with the overall time the removal process takes; I want the process to be as efficient as it can be and as safe as it can be and at this moment I am not too concerned about the cost of treatments. The complications regarding quick removal of the tattoo stem from the fact that it is extremely new, and has been gone over twice, so it is very dense with three layers of ink inside. Furthermore, the touch-ups were at intervals of three weeks apart, which may not have been the best for my skin. Not to mention the fact that I believe that the first artist scarred my skin during the first tattoo session, because the first tattoo is visibly whiter and stands out even after the two touch-ups have gone and covered the first tattoo. Also, I'm (although relatively fair-skinned) Asian, and Asians have different skin and scarring characteristics to Caucasians, which does not help my case.
Thus, I am very pessimistic about my chances for successful tattoo removal without unsightly scars or pigmentary changes. Nonetheless, this tattoo has given me so much stress; I think about it all day and it keeps me up at night worrying. It must go, and I am determined to see it through, although I'd rather it be sooner rather than later.

Actress Angelina Jolie may be one of the most famous people in the world, but she insists she is just like most moms, and barely has any time to herself.
Jolie said that her only real alone time is in the shower – when she is lucky enough to get one – a sentiment that many moms can relate to. Describing a typical day in the Pitt-Jolie household, she shared,
I wake up. I've got four kids in bed with me and Brad is on the phone and with the twins. I just don't get any solitude – most people with kids don't. Sometimes you get a bath or a shower but usually somebody is trying to get in. You get used to it."
Jolie, who is currently starring in the action-packed film Salt, and partner, Brad Pitt are parents to six children, Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, Shiloh, 4, and 2-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Wow is all I can say... NYC is such an amazing place to visit. Standing in front of the Statue of Liberty for the first time was very emotional. The 911 Memorial, walking thru Central Park, shopping in SoHo, Times Square, top of the Rock, etc... are all things we will never forget. I tried to remember everything we ate and am mentioning the most memorable dishes. We also had multiple bottles of wine that I cannot remember the name of. If you have an questions please feel free to ask and I will try to recall. Back at work after 9 days off so here is a quick report on the food. Thank you to everyone for the advice on planning our trip.
Rue 57 - Chosen merely due to its proximity to our hotel after a long day flying from CA and getting to the city. Was not looking forward to eating here given the online reviews and our table had mixed reviews. I had the beefsteak salad and the steak frites and though over priced, it was cooked perfectly and fries were crisp. Sushi was just ok. Although, place had a cool vibe and we liked the music being played. Service was good. Oreo beignets for dessert were gross... do not order. Won't go back.
Carnegie Deli - Again... choose this over Katzs merely due to proximity to our hotel. Front of the house is disorganized and not friendly (guess they don't need to be). This place is a machine. Ordered regular pastrami and it was out in seconds. Sandwich was great. Service started out cranky but old lady was nice in the end. Let me tell you that the worst deli in NYC is better than the best deli in CA. Not sure if I would go back but am glad I went.
Tao - Restaurant is a fav of reps that were being taken out to dinner so we had no option. If I could just have made a meal out of the sea bass appetizer I would be happy. Appetizers and entrees were good to average. Pad Tai was very good as well as the sea bass entree. Donuts and fortune cookie for dessert were forgettable. Been to the Vegas location as well and it is almost the exact same. Won't be back.
Angelos Pizza - OMG. Had pepperoni and ricotta pizza. Crust was chewy, crisp and slightly burnt (love it) and toppings were perfect. Stella to wash it all down. Will definitely be back.
Craftbar - Cancelled Blue Smoke and decided to go here. Everything was great. The front of the house was a bit snobby but our server and Manager made up for it. Surprisingly they were very kid friendly and they mentioned that they wished some adults would behave as well as our friends baby did. Very accommodating for a 10 month old on V Day. Salumi and cheeses for appetizers were very good. Artic Char was cooked nice but the sweet potato agnolotti was the best dish. Hanger steak was also very good. Would probably go back.
Rock Center Cafe - Went to the top of the rock and decided to just eat here. Seated at end of lunch rush and then restaurant quieted down. Service was great. Food was good. Risotto crab cake and tomato fennel soup were delicious. Might go back one day just for the view of the rink.
Basso56 - Tired from sight seeing all day we did not feel like going all the way back downtown so we cancelled BLT Prime (I know... sucks). But... I found this great place a few blocks away. Service was outstanding. Started with mussels in a tomato broth and burrata wrapped in speck (a special that night) and a caprese salad. Burrata was smoky and creamy... a must try. I had the lobster crepes and it was one of the best dishes I have ever eaten. The raviolis and seafood risotto (special) was good as well. Gelato for dessert was perfect end. Was also given a complimentary glass of limoncello to finish our dinner. This is a hidden gem and we would definitely go back.
Eatly - After visiting Liberty\Eliis Island all morning we were starving. Took cab from Battery Park to Eatly for lunch. This place is like the SF Ferry Building Marketplace... but on crack. Grabbed a spot at the counter and had 5 cheese and 5 meat platter, some crudo, crusty bread and 2 bottles of wine. Nice way to end the day. Bought some dry goods to bring home (polenta, arborio rice, sea salt, etc...). Will definitely go back.
Otto - Front of the house was very nice. Back room was insanely loud, almost to the point of making you want to leave. Food was meh... salumi and cheeses were great. Pizzas (margherita and pepperoni) were just ok. Pasta (carbonara and agnolotti) were better than the pizza but still just ok. Too loud for dessert and could not wait to leave. Good place for screaming kids as no one would ever notice. Will not go back.
SoHo - Got to do about 6 hours of shopping in Soho. Had breakfast (eggs benedict) at Balthazar and it was good.
Marea - Had a reservation in Crudo Lounge at 8:45pm. We were almost too tired to go (yes... again) but we rallied and went and oh so happy we did. Just around the corner from our hotel so it was a nice evening walk. Front of house was very nice. We loved the decor (not sure why some people do not). Seated in Crudo Lounge on time but not sure we liked the lounge location as we felt kind of off to the side of the bar. Sommelier was nice but did not offer much help. Wine list is extensive so would have been nice if it was viewable online prior. Decided to not do the tasting menu. Ordered 2 crudos (spigola and tonno). Both were fresh and the best we have ever had. The spigola (butterfish) was a stand out. Also ordered a half dozen oysters, 2 each of 3 different but I cannot remember which ones. I ordered the fusilli and my wife the tortelli. The fusilli deserves the hype and was an entree I will never forget. The pasta as cooked to a perfect al dente. The sauce was delicious and the baby octopus was tender and clean and the bone marrow elevated the dish to a whole other level. The tortelli was also an incredible dish. Finished with the caramello for dessert... outstanding. Service seemed off for a restaurant of this caliber. After ordering, our server never came back once to check on us, except to take our dessert order. Never been to a 2 star Michelin restaurant before, so maybe they figure everything is perfect and they don't need to ask. A very memorable dinner on our last night in NYC. We will definitely go back.

This was based on the Skyrim game. Chocolate mud cake with white chocolate ganache filling and chocolate dragon. The main rock is carved cake and it was my first attempt using home made modelling chocolate for the dragon. It was very satisfying to make and use a product from scratch! I found it quite easy to work with, but then I have cold hands so presume it was easier as I didn't melt the chocolate!
The only internal supports used were one for the dragon head and one for joining the tail to the body. The chocolate sets really hard so it was easy to get the right shape for the tail without having to use wires to support it like I would have with fondant.
I also used my Dinkydoodle airbrush to shade the rock and the dragon. I love the metallic blue airbrush paint! I used a layer of black over the brown chocolate, then went over with the metallic blue and some pearl silver for highlights. The Skyrim logo was hand painted using edible silver paint.

TCU picks up commitment from Yoakum athlete Tre'vontae Hights
TCU is always in the market for a small-school gem.
And on Monday afternoon, the Horned Frogs reeled in Yoakum athlete Tre'vontae Hights. The decision comes just a week after Hights made an unofficial visit to Fort Worth, where he picked up the offer.
"I loved it, it was hard not to say yes (when they offered)," Hights told Scout.com. "The (coaches) were great, it didn't feel far from home at all with them."
Hights did not hold any other offers but was receiving interest from Baylor, Texas State and UTSA.
Hights played everything from quarterback to wide receiver to safety for Yoakum last season. He finished the year with close to 2,500 yards of total offense, 62 tackles and three interceptions.

PHILDELPHIA — The Florida Panthers picked defenseman Aaron Ekblad with the first overall selection in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft on Friday at Wells Fargo Center.
PHILDELPHIA — The Florida Panthers picked defenseman Aaron Ekblad with the first overall selection in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft on Friday at Wells Fargo Center.
Ekblad, a dynamic presence on the blueline for the Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League, posted 23 goals and 53 points in 58 regular-season games in 2013-14. He added two goals and four assists over nine playoff contests.
"It's unbelievable. It's cool to have my family and friends here supporting me," said Ekblad following his selection by the Panthers. "I believe they're an up-and-coming team and I feel that this is where I can facilitate my development and win a Stanley Cup in the next few years."
Florida, which won the draft lottery, retained its top-overall slot for the first time in 20 years, when defenseman Ed Jovanovski was taken at No. 1.
Buffalo used the second pick to take Kootenay Ice center Sam Reinhart. The 18- year-old native of Vancouver finished his fourth season for the Western Hockey League club with team highs of 69 assists and 105 points to go with 36 goals in only 60 games.
"I'm ecstatic right now. To be honest, this is the greatest feeling," Reinhart gushed. I'm looking forward to it. I want to get started right away. I'm familiar with the organization, it's a young team, they're very motivated. I'm excited for the future."
Reinhart also led his club with 17 assists and 23 points over 13 postseason contests. The son of former Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks defenseman Paul Reinhart, Sam was selected higher than either Paul (12th overall, 1979) or brothers Max (63rd overall, 2010) and Griffin (4th overall, 2012).
Leon Draisaitl now owns a piece of history: the highest German-born player ever picked by an NHL team, having gone third to the Edmonton Oilers. The 18- year-old left-handed shooting center finished a stellar second season for the Prince Albert Raiders in the WHL, leading his team with 38 goals, 67 assists and 105 points in 64 appearances. At 6-foot-1 and more than 200 pounds, Draisaitl will be counted on to provide an immediate physical presence.
"We all know how difficult centers are to obtain, so you have to draft big centers. Leon fits that bill for us. We compete in a difficult conference and difficult division and we're hoping Leon will answer the call against the opposition," noted Oilers GM Craig MacTavish.
Calgary used the fourth spot to draft 18-year-old winger Sam Bennett of the OHL's Kingston Frontenacs. Bennett, a native of Toronto, struck for 91 points (36G, 55A) in 57 games during his second season in juniors. He was listed as the top North American skater by NHL Central Scouting.
With the fifth overall pick, the New York Islanders took center Michael Dal Colle. A left-handed shooting winger, the 18-year-old led the Oshawa Generals with 95 points on 39 goals and 56 assists in 67 games.
The Canucks didn't need to look very far to utilize the sixth pick, taking Calgary Hitmen winger and British Columbia-born Jake Virtanen. Virtanen, a right-handed shot, tallied career highs of 45 goals, 26 assists and 71 points in 71 games a season ago, but will need time in the offseason to rehab due to shoulder surgery. He's the first B.C. native taken by the Canucks in the first round since Cam Neely in 1983.
At No. 7, the Carolina Hurricanes took 17-year-old defenseman Haydn Fleury from the Red Deer Rebels of the WHL, who tallied eight goals and 38 assists in 70 games. Toronto used its first selection in this draft on the first European-trained player in the top 10, Modo Hockey forward William Nylander, son of former NHLer Michael Nylander.
Nikolaj Ehlers, an 18-year-old native of Denmark who recorded 104 points for Halifax of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, was selected at nine by the Winnipeg Jets. With the 10th pick, Anaheim chose forward Nick Ritchie, a 74- point scorer during his third campaign for the OHL's Peterborough Petes.
Nashville selected Swiss winger Kevin Fiala at No. 11 and the newly-named Arizona Coyotes grabbed OHL forward Brendan Perlini with the 12th pick. Two more picks came and went before the first American player was drafted at No. 15 when Detroit picked Michigan native Dylan Larkin. The forward is set to play college hockey at the University of Michigan this fall.
Prior to Larkin's selection, the Washington Capitals grabbed Czech forward Jakub Vrana at No. 13 and Finnish defenseman Julius Honka was picked next by Dallas.
The remaining picks of the first round were as follows:
#16: Sonny Milano, forward, USA U-18 (USHL), Columbus
#17: Travis Sanheim, defenseman, Calgary (WHL), Philadelphia
#18: Alex Tuch, forward, USA U-18 (USHL), Minnesota
#19: Anthony DeAngelo, defenseman, Sarnia (OHL), Tampa Bay
#20: Nick Schmaltz, forward, Green Bay (USHL), Chicago
#21: Robert Fabbri, forward, Guelph (OHL), St. Louis
#22: Kasperi Kapanen, forward, Kalpa (Finland), Pittsburgh
#23: Connor Bleackley, forward, Red Deer (WHL), Colorado
#24: Jared McCann, forward, Sault Ste. Marie (OHL), Vancouver
#25: David Pastrnak, forward, Sodertalje (Sweden), Boston
#26: Nikita Scherbak, forward, Saskatoon (WHL), Montreal
#27: Nikolay Goldobin, forward, Sarnia (OHL), San Jose
#28: Joshua Ho-Sang, forward, Windsor (OHL), NY Islanders
#29: Adrian Kempe, forward, MODO (Sweden), Los Angeles
#30: John Quenneville, forward, Brandon (OHL), New Jersey
For a second straight year no goaltenders were selected in the opening round. The first netminder at the 2013 draft wasn't picked until No. 36 when Montreal grabbed Zachary Fucale.
The 2014 NHL Draft will wrap up on Saturday with the completion of Rounds 2-7.

Tori will be touring in 2014 to support the release of Unrepentant Geraldines. The European legs runs from May through June and the North American legs spans July and August. We do not know if additional dates elsewhere will be added.
After development and workshops and delays and more workshops, The National Theatre announced, during their January 30th press conference about plans for the coming year, that The Light Princess musical, created by Samuel Adamson and Tori and directed by Marianne Elliot, will finally be opening in October 2013!
The press release (Word doc) is short on specifics but confirms the title and the stars: Rosalie Craig and Clive Rowe.
So while the exact details and date and tickets are understandably yet to be sorted out, it is great to hear that this production will see the light of day.
Soon as there is word of when the musical will open and information about ticket availability, we'll pass the word along.

Organist, composer and writer Edward Hodges, grandfather of George, was born in Bristol, England in 1796 and acquired a MusD from Cambridge in 1825. After a very brief tenure as organist at St. James's Cathedral in Toronto, Hodges accepted in 1839 a similar position at Trinity Church in New York City.
The Newland / Zeuner Collection constitutes the working library of professional musician William A. Newland, who was active in many different musical circles in 19th-century Philadelphia. It consists almost exclusively of music, in both manuscript and printed form, and reflects the diversity of sacred and secular musical activity in America in the late-18th and early-19th century.
The imprints in the collection, both European and American, consist primarily of music for piano (2 or 4 hands) and songs. Manuscripts in the collection include both instrumental and vocal works of many genres, with a particular concentration in sacred vocal works in both Latin and English. The music in Latin is especially noteworthy in that it may represent the only known source of pre-Cäeciliaverein 19th-century American Catholic church music. Newland's many transcriptions and arrangements illustrate the common practice of setting operatic and other secular melodies to sacred texts for church use; the collection abounds in settings for liturgical anthems and hymns such as "Ave Maria," "O Salutaris Hostia" and "Regina Coeli." Similarly, the 2 and 4 hand piano transcriptions in the collection demonstrate 19th-century America's fondness for piano arrangements of operatic and orchestral works.
The composers represented in this collection constitute a representative sampling of the mix of European and American music prevalent in the United States in the mid-19th century, ranging from Mozart and Rossini to George F. Root and Oliver Shaw. American composers are particularly well-represented in the collection by popular 19th-century instrumental forms such as the quickstep, quadrille, gallop, rondo polacca, march, and waltz, which are found in both the keyboard works and those scored for band or small orchestra.
Of primary significance in the Newland / Zeuner collection is the existence of the largest extant source of the music of Charles Zeuner, a student of Johann Nepomuk Hummel and tenth president of the Handel and Haydn Society of Boston. Arriving in Boston from his native Germany in the 1820's, Zeuner became well-known as an organist and composer of singular skill. Newland acquired Zeuner's library after the latter's tragic death by suicide in 1857. Of particular note among the manuscript scores of vocal, instrumental, and orchestral works are the holograph scores of his works for organ.
Zeuner's numerous manuscripts of German songs are complemented by his variations on American standards such as "Yankee Doodle," "Hail Columbia," and "Home Sweet Home." Quicksteps named for President Tyler and Governor Everett of Massachusetts, a Funeral March for President Harrison, and pieces designated specifically for the Fourth of July illustrate that both Newland and Zeuner are representative of the many 19th-century emigré composers who were fully integrated into the mainstream of American music.
The Newland / Zeuner Collection was processed in November 1991 by Timothy Bullard, Claudia Widgery, and Robert Saladini.

Let the DNC Decision Stay
This is why the DMA has taken the stance that it has since the registry was first put into legal limbo last fall because of lower court rulings. "Regardless of where we go from here, we will follow the law and hold steady to the pledge we made," DMA president/CEO H. Robert Wientzen said last week. (Why the DMA filed its lawsuit in the first place is an entirely different question.) However, the DMA earned big brownie points in Washington for doing what it did. And it makes sense. If a consumer went to the trouble of putting his number into the registry, he's expecting it to work now, so getting called at night is just going to inflame him, no matter what you're selling. It also helps the cause regarding spam and sending e-mails just to the people who want to receive your offers.
And what would happen if the U.S. Supreme Court decided to hear the case and ended up reversing the decision? Would any good come from that? No, it would be a hollow victory that would only make a significant portion of the public hate the industry more than it already does. The decision by the appeals court should stay as it is - as hard as that may be to swallow - and the DMA and ATA should turn their attention to working with the government and making the regulations as tolerable as possible.
Use Taxes and Line 56
Till someone figures out how to simplify the tax codes so mail-order and Internet shopping can be taxed, more than 20 states have added lines on their income tax forms for taxpayers to declare their owed sales tax from those purchases with out-of-state firms. New York's solution is line 56, which also makes taxpayers figure out the difference if they bought something in another state that was taxed at a lesser rate. Knowing its instructions are indecipherable, New York added a chart breaking down amounts for purchases less than $1,000 each for various income levels: If you make $50,001-$75,000, you should pay $34. Still, I wonder how many people will tell New York to take a hike.

15-year comics veteran Axel Alonso has been named editor-in-chief at Marvel Comics, replacing Joe Quesada, who remains at his existing title of chief creative officer. In addition, Tom Brevoort has been named senior v-p publishing. In his new role, Alonso will report to publisher Dan Buckley and oversee all day to day aspects of Marvel's publishing division.
Alonso joined Marvel in 2000 after a stint at DC's Vertigo imprint, where he developed the acclaimed series 100 Bullets. His Marvel duties include running both the Spider-Man and X-men franchises, as well as newsmaking titles like X-Statix and The Rawhide Kid, which introduced a gay gunslinger to the Marvel Universe.
"Marvel has a great history of the most dynamic and memorable EiCs in comics history and I'm honored to step into this role," said Alonso. "I've been blessed to work with some of the most creative men and women in the world, bringing to life some of the most compelling stories you'll find in any medium. This new role provides me with exciting challenges and prospects I've never encountered before, but I know one thing—Marvel's getting even bigger in 2011."
Quesada, who held the e-i-c title for 10 years, will move on to work more on Marvel's burgeoning multi-media projects in films, television and internet. Marvel was acquired by Disney for $4 billion in 2010.

Working from home, I am the first to admit that I might be a fuzz out of touch with today's job market. Regardless of this fact, I am hearing more and more that there are some really great tech jobs out there.
After doing a little research, it appears that SAP is the place to be. Why? Money – pure and simple. Understand however, that there are other areas that have also been known to yield a tidy paycheck along with the ever important job security factor:
- Clinical Research Associate – $38.52
- Data Manager – $45.06
- CRM Project Manager – $62.01
- Data Warehouse Architect – $69.03
- Hardware/Firmware engineer – $59.34
- NET Developer – $45.77
- Oracle Database Administrator – $55.82
- Project Manager – $57.07
- SAP Functional Consultant – $75.09
- Senior Scientist – $43.76
Now speaking for myself, the item in the list that speaks most to me would have to be CRM Project Manager. After all, I have opted out of 99% of my repair business in exchange for community development projects in both my neck of the woods in addition to offering my services as a consultant in this field. The pay may be about the same, but the time spent working is a lot more rewarding in the long haul.
Now for the question that is likely going to end up flooding my inbox: How do you become a consultant? Well I have some books to recommend, but before I give you the list I am going to explain what the number one ingredient is for this type of work – passion. Knowledge is most certainly important to be an effective consultant. However if your heart is not in the project that you have been assigned to, it will show. So before you even bother pondering such an idea, you really need to spend some time making sure that you have a burning passion for the business in which you are considering pursuit in.
Alright, enough of the lecturing. Here's that list of reading material:
(Keep in mind some of these books may not appear to apply to what you have in mind. Regardless, there is a lot to learn from them, so you better get started!)
- So you'd like to… be a personal or business coach

The flying dutchman
English National Opera, London WC2
There is one reason to see this new production of Flying Dutchman. And it is a compelling reason which makes me urge you to see it.
Edward Gardner, ENO's music director, conducts his first Wagner. And he does not just make a decent stab at it - he produces some of the greatest Wagner conducting you could ever hear.
The ENO orchestra - which plays as if the Berlin Philharmonic is just some hick regional band - is sensational. Gardner's interpretation is white hot from the start. There is a visceral thrill on the overture which does not let up for a second until the end of the opera - aided by the welcome decision to run the three acts together without an interval.
All I can really say is, wow!
As for the singing: Stuart Skelton's Erik is world-class, and Orla Boylan's Senta draws you in (despite being made to wear perversely drab clothes).
The production itself is interesting, with clever use of video to recreate the storm, and a disturbing party scene which is - properly - unsettling.
But there is a big hole dramatically, which is James Creswell's Dutchman. Every note is well pitched, but there is nothing there. He is more like a ledger clerk than an accursed sailor. Very forgettable.
But what is entirely memorable is Gardner's revelatory conducting. Go. (Tel: 0871 911 0200)

My name is Noah benShea, and I am a Pulitzer Prize-nominated international bestselling author of 23 books that have been translated into 18 languages. My father and mother, who have passed, are proud of a great deal more on my bio, but that is enough to begin this "How I Did It" story.
I am from a blue-collar family and the first person in my family to graduate from high school let alone college. Academic achievement was my rocket ship out of my circumstances to the other side of the tracks.
Read more from our writing and publishing series from Barbra Annino.
By the age of 22, I was an assistant dean of students at UCLA, and I knew that I wanted to be a poet. I also knew that poets never had to worry about selling out because there was no one buying.
A collection of my poetry entitled Don't Call It Anything won first prize from the oldest poetry society in California, the Southern California Poetry Society, and was published when I was 24.
Consequently, I spent my mid and late 20s being invited to speak and was introduced as a poet, philosopher and theologian. But by 30, I was convinced that no matter what anyone else thought, I still had a lot to learn. My wife and I moved to England, and shortly after, we discovered that we were going to have a baby. Or, as my mother liked to say, "If you want to give God a good laugh, tell her your plans."
I had already been on the faculty of several universities and think tanks, including the International University in Los Angeles and the Center for Humanities at USC, and so I was invited to be a fellow at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions in Santa Barbara, Calif., and moved there in 1975. The Center is the world's first long-range think tank, preceding the famed Club of Rome. The founding and central figure at the Center was Robert Hutchins, who became the dean of Yale Law School at 28, and later hired Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas to serve on its faculty.
By 30, Hutchins was appointed president of the University of Chicago and went on to head the Ford Foundation before envisioning the Center as a place to bring the world's best minds together to discuss and work on social issues. The concept was civilized and Quixotic, and for both reasons quietly disappeared with Hutchins' death by the late 1970s.
At this point, everything I had done in my life was with the intention of making the world a better place, and because everything I had done was verbal and intellectual—and because I loved cooking—my next step was to open a bakery. Go figure. I thought it would be fun and it turned out to be a success, but that's a very different story.
But when the bakery started to unfold, my friend Aron Hirt-Manheimer, who had been a student of mine at UCLA and was now editor for the Reform Judaism Magazine, wrote me a letter that went something like this: "Hey, Noah, whatever happened to all those stories you told and the way you saw things when you were giving the talks in your 20s? How 'bout we do an interview with you?"
I remember writing back, "Aron, I've got this bakery, I've got two little kids, my son Adam now joined his sister Jordan, and I've got very little time. But if you want, send me the questions."
Two months later, I received a letter from Aron: "You know, Noah, there are so many interview books. What if you write a book about a baker who is a wise man, like you? And this baker is always writing notes to himself, like you. And people are always coming up this baker and asking him questions, like people do with you. I know this sounds like a fairy tale, but your life is a fairy tale, and you should write it."
So, the short and shorter of it goes like this: I signed a contract to do this book for the Reform Jewish Movement in North America. In exchange, I received an advance large enough to buy myself a leather jacket—albeit a nice one—but a leather jacket. Their plan was to publish my book and sell it in temples and synagogues. You get the picture, no big book here.
My challenge was simply to find the time and the right attitude to write from, always the starting place for a writer. For two months, I just thought about "the book." The next part of the plan was to get up earlier. And so, for the next two years I worked, usually from 4 to 6 a.m., and said nothing to any one.
After two years of meeting the dawn before dawn, I had my book Jacob the Baker. Here is a brief description: Jacob is a poor but pious baker who lives an anonymous life in a timeless world. While waiting for the ovens to rise to baking temperature in the morning he writes little notes to himself trying to make sense of life. Unknown to Jacob, one of his notes falls into the mixer and is baked into a loaf of bread. It is then sold to a woman, who comes upon the note, reads Jacob's thought, is dumbstruck and rushes to the bakery to see who wrote it and where it came from.
Soon word is out that there is a special person in the community who has been ignored, and now everyone near and far comes to see Jacob with their questions about life, prayer, love, family, growing older and…and…Without any sense of hubris, Jacob answers the growing line of visitors with his parables and stories. Even the children come after school and sit on the flour sacks to listen to Jacob.
When I sent the finished book to Aron, and it was confirmed original by the rabbis/scholars, and Reader's Digest said they wanted to take lines from Jacob the Baker for the next 20 years. The publisher also asked if I could help sell the paperback rights so they could send me on a book tour, a first for them.
I went to the American Booksellers Association National Conference that was alternately held in LA and New York and met a great guy, Mark Bloomfield, who was then a sales executive with Ballantine/Random House. I told Mark that I knew nothing about publishing, bought him a cup of coffee and told him about my book. He, kindly, asked me to send it to him. I did. He sent it to Patty Breitman, a literary agent in San Francisco.
Patty took Jacob the Baker to New York, held an auction with several of the major publishing houses and sold the book to Random House/Villard to a fantastic editor, Diane Reverand. The book I signed to write for a leather jacket sold for a six-figure deal. I have even been told that Julia Roberts walked around the set of Pretty Woman quoting Jacob!
Today, Jacob the Baker continues to touch lives around the world. There is now a Jacob series with three books, which has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide. Jacob is now in development as major motion picture, as reported by Variety, and I have repurchased all the rights to Jacob back from Random House. Out of this small starting gate, I have 20 more books with publishers, as well as several corporate clients featuring my work, including Starbucks and Costco.
Certainly, I am honored and humbled with this success, if I may borrow from my character: "Jacob was a reed. And the breath of God blew through him, made music of him."
The bottom line? Put your faith—not your fears—in charge. Do the work. In every aspect of your life, play the part, not the result. Over every finish line in life are the words, "Begin here."

Matt Fraction & Jonathan Hickman Join David S. Goyer's 'Da Vinci's Demons' For Season 2
Longtime ComicsAlliance favorites for their work on books like Casanova, The Nightly News, Fantastic Four, Immortal Iron Fist, The Manhattan Projects, Hawkeye and more, comics writers Matt Fraction and Jonathan Hickman have confirmed they will be contributing two episodes to the second season of Da Vinci's Demons. A Starz network original series created by David S. Goyer (co-writer of The Dark Knight film trilogy), Da Vinci's Demons is a historical fantasy saga full of mystery and intrigue that imagines the early life of artist, inventor and, in the series, romantic adventurer Leonardo da Vinci."One of the best parts of this job is that you occasionally get to call up people you admire out of the blue and ask them if they want to play in your sandbox. Sometimes, they say 'yes,'" wrote Goyer on his website.
Appropriately both Fraction and Hickman are known for works in which they put forth some fantastical alternatives to what we know about various inventors and other geniuses of human history. In his and Steven Sanders' 2006 graphic novel The Five Fists of Science, Fraction imagined a kind of sinister pact between Nikola Tesla, Mark Twain and Bertha von Suttner to trick the world into ending war.
Reached for comment, Fraction told CA, "Da Vinci's Demons has everything I look for in a show as a viewer, from the vision of the creator to the caliber of writers to the narrative structure, intrigue, blood, sex, carnage, fun, and all points in-between. So as a writer to be asked by David to play in his sandbox is an amazing opportunity. Besides, Leonardo was always my second-favorite ninja turtle and I look forward to exploring his mythos with all of you."
Hickman agreed, writing via email, "I, obviously, echo everything Matt has said. When David let me read the first couple of scripts, I knew five pages into the pilot that they were on to something. So, I'm just incredibly honored that they extended the opportunity to come in and write for the show. It's fun, ambitious, and irreverent in all the right ways. Check it out if you get a chance."
Longtime Hickman readers will remember that Leonardo da Vinci was actually a character in his and Dustin Weaver's S.H.I.E.L.D. for Marvel Comics, also a historical fantasy dealing with real-life figures in epic struggles with secret societies of the distant past — although with a distinctly science fiction/superhero angle, and not to be confused with the Goyer series.
Only one episode of Da Vinci's Demons has aired so far, and it can be watched for free on the show's official site. Season two of Da Vinci's Demons is expected to begin broadcasting in 2014.

October 2010: John Nash (1893-1977) A selection of 26 Woodcuts and Wood Engravings
This selection of works includes prints produced over the period 1919 to 1931. They demonstrate not only his mastery of the medium but also his love of the countryside; the landscape, animals, plants and traditions of rural life. There are also some domestic scenes alongside book illustrations with more literary themes such as his work for the Cresset Press's 'Apocryha', 1929, and for Christopher Marlowe's 'Ovid's Elegies', 1925.
John Nash was born in London in 1893. He never formally trained at art school but from an early age he pursued his artistic interests, first in drawing and watercolour and later in wood-engraving. The Nash family moved from urban London to the Buckingham countryside while John was young so he gained a keen appreciation for the local landscape and nature. He was also a passionate observer of people and had a sharp eye for the humourous elements of human behaviour, this found expression in early comic cartoons but is also evident in his later prints as well.
Nash first exhibited with his brother Paul at the Dorien Leigh Gallery in London (1913), then with the Camden Town Group (1913-14) and soon after the London Group at the Goupil Gallery (1915). Due to the success of these early exhibitions he was invited to become an official war artist and he went on to produce some of the most memorable images of the First World War.
Nash was also an accomplished print maker. A founder member of the Society of Wood Engravers (formed 1920), he produced many woodcuts and wood engravings as both decorations for literary periodicals and as illustrations to private press books. He submitted an article to London Mercury in 1920 entitled 'The History of the Woodcut'. Nash wrote, 'Engraving demands a tight control and respectful deliberation. Moreover, the design must be carefully planned out beforehand and the engraver should know exactly what he is about to do within the limit of his block. Here chance and extemporare decisions, happy or otherwise, are the last elements to depend on'.
As well as working as an artist Nash was also a teacher, first at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford (1924-29) and then at the Royal College of Art in London (1934-1957) where he met both Ravilious and Bawden with whom he became close friends.
Nash was elected Royal Academician in 1951, and received the C.B.E in 1964. He died in September 1977. His work can be found in major art collections around the world.
