A Master Musicologist
Essays on Music in the Western World
This modest volume contains the collected essays on Western music of the most distinguished musicologist this country has yet produced. The topics in it range from medieval music to Verdi, and it is to be followed soon by a second book, only slightly larger, which will assemble Strunk's articles on Byzantine chant. Together with the introduction to a collection of facsimiles of Byzantine notation and the footnotes and brief introductions to the selections in Source Readings in Music History (an anthology of writings about music from the early Greeks to Wagner), these writings represent the total published work of Oliver Strunk.
This meager harvest is—to some extent, at least—deeply misleading. The footnotes to Source Readings betray a wealth of original research which almost alone would justify a lifetime. Strunk's influence as a teacher and as a collaborator has been as remarkable as it has been self-effacing. Indeed, the references to him in the work of other historians are, as often as not, acknowledgments of suggestions made, notes and transcriptions lent, even whole pages written for them, rather than page references to his own publications.
Now seventy-three years old, Strunk retired in 1966 after thirty years of teaching at Princeton, but he has continued his researches in Byzantine music while living in Italy, taking up residence near a church where Byzantine forms can still be heard. It is thanks to his work, above all, that we can now decipher the early notation of Byzantine chant with a reasonable assurance of getting the right notes. When Strunk began to teach, musicology barely existed in this country. He helped to create it, and has done more than anyone else to defend the quality of research.
In his writing, he has never been concerned to set down a sweeping panoramic view of a period or to elaborate a large general theory: his restraint makes his work seem bloodless to some of his colleagues. What he has consented to publish is generally the irrefutable establishment of a single fact or of a new method of classifying a given material, both the fact and the method being of seminal importance. But the importance is often left to the reader's intelligence to discover: it is perhaps the one serious limitation on Strunk's work that the less one knows about a subject the less one can learn from one of Strunk's papers on it. He takes an aristocratic view of his profession.
The style of the essays, too, is extraordinarily concise. The facts are presented with a dry elegance: Strunk is reluctant to draw from them any conclusions except the most brief and obvious ones, although many of the shortest essays have had far-reaching effects and opened up new fields of research. When there is anything beyond a simple statement of the facts, it is generally to call attention to those aspects of the research which are tentative, provisional, and limited. He does not—in print—so much speculate as …
Grateful to Strunk April 17, 1975

Dance review: 'Paquita,' 'Othello' and 'Boutique'
Date: February 3, 2010
by: Anna Dearing | Dance Critic
The Sarasota Ballet presented a triple bill this past weekend featuring Galina Samsova's "Paquita," Peter Darrell's "Othello" and Matthew Bourne's "Boutique." The program was a mixed variety that perfectly combined classical, dramatic and contemporary ballets.
"Paquita" is a classic piece that is widely used by ballet schools at end-of-year performances to demonstrate the students' skills and technique. The timing of this performance was key, because the Sarasota Ballet corps de ballet has learned over the last few months how to maintain its lines and dance in unison. Bravo.
Two of the three variations seemed slightly miscast with the tall long-limbed Danielle Brown performing the quick and sprightly second variation, while the petite Haruka Katagi performed the slow and controlled first variation. But, nonetheless, all three soloists, including Mizuki Fujimoto, did well with their respective roles.
Miguel Piquer and Kate Honea performed the principal roles with grace and ease. The grand pas was performed with such effortlessness that the technical lifts, especially the one-handed torch lift, seemed as though it was second nature for the two. Honea was clean, crisp and precise in her technique. Both Piquer and Honea pulled off perfect multiple pirouettes in their own variations as well as tricks in the finale: 32 fouettés for her and double tours en l'air en passe for him.
How Darrell managed to fit "Othello" into 20 minutes is a feat in itself. His dramatic piece included some classical choreography combined with contemporary movements that were as compelling as "Othello's" storyline. The dramatic role of Othello was perfectly suited for the raw, emotional depth of Octavio Martin and even brought out a dramatic side to Piquer, whose character, Iago, truly had the best dancing parts. A more mature side to Simon Mummé's technique was also seen in his role as Cassio, which featured technical switch-leg leaps that he performed with ease.
Bourne's "Boutique" was an entertaining and fun twist on the classic, "La Boutique Fantasque." Set in the '60s, the sets and costumes were as clever and fun as the choreography itself. Logan Learned not only continues to wow audiences with his amazing technique, but seems to be further honing in on his true acting abilities as well. He and Honea, as the boyfriend and girlfriend shopping for wedding attire, received numerous giggles and guffaws from the audience.
"Boutique" consisted of different vignettes that always entertain an audience, much like "The Nutcracker" and Frederick Ashton's "Façade." Victoria Hulland and Ricardo Rhodes were perfect mannequins with perma-grins and stunted movements as Barbie and Ken, while Mummé, Yoohong Lee and Cort Larson added extra silliness to the "Manpower" piece.
The choreography was fun with '60s-style dance moves and hilarious happenings. It was a great end to a production that showcased the dancers' ability to entertain.

I'm old with Photoshop and new with Video editing. On CS5 Production Premium, Windows. What's the best approach to managing my files/folders? No matter what I set, the system seems to default to ...Documents/Adobe/Premiere/5.0. Can I change this, and if so, what do you suggest?
Also, I'm not getting the yellow line, instead of the red line, indicating rendering needed. My new computer with Raid 0 is handling things very well, even with the red line, but why don't I get the yellow line, even when using the accelerated effects etc? Is it because I don't have one of the 4 recommended video cards (I have NVidia, GTX Geoforce 260.
As of CS4, there have been a few changes regarding the Project files.
In general terms, I keep my Projects and their files together. For ultimate performance, it's probably not ideal, but helps with housekeeping.
Here's my structure:
Client's folder
Project folder(s) with the Project file (PRPROJ)
Videos (Copies of Video Assets) - this is one place where there might be a slowdown
Audio (all Audio files) - this is one place where there might be a slowdown
Music (all music files)
SFX (all SFX files)
Stills (Copies of all still files used)
Capture Files
Scratch Disks (established in Edit>Preferences>Scratch Disks) - this is one place where there might be a slowdown
Finished AVI's
Finished AC3's
As of CS4, there will be some files placed in My Documents. I cannot tell you exactly which files will be there. IIRC, one could change the OS Environment to route these elsewhere.
As for red, green or yellow lines, if one has source footage, that is good to go, but just does not quite match the Sequence Preset, one gets a yellow line. For source footage, that requires Rendering for the smoothest playback, one gets a red line. For Rendered footage, or footage that is perfect, and does not need Rendering, one has a green line.
Now, Rendering is for smoothest playback, and I do many Projects, that are never Rendered. OTOH, I have some, where I might Render a segment 30 times, as I work with animation, etc.
Good luck,

As for Jay-Z's involvement, I'm sure he was certainly a part of the design process, though he most wasn't the one sitting in front of Illustrator or working through a list of typefaces. Though the headline wouldn't read as nice if it was "Brooklyn Nets Logo Designed by Jay Z and Nameless Graphic Designer".
In addition, I work with the woman who designed the last two New Jersey Nets logos, the 1991 version was once described as "was done by a crack-addled airbrush artist in Seaside Heights" but was actually was little more than a sketch on a bar napkin that the owners loved and wouldn't let her rework into a not-ridiculous logo.
The gradient was done by hand in marker, as programs like Photoshop weren't as common in design studios as they are today.
Conversely, her 1997 logo was voted the best logo of the NBA here: http://www.logodesign.com/nba-top-ten-logos.php
I'm pretty sure nobody knows they were designed by the same person.

Author Biography | Interview | Books by this Author | Readalikes
Rainbow Rowell is only very good at two things reading and writing, in that order.
People who are good only at reading and writing, and who also want health insurance, usually study journalism. Rainbow earned a journalism degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1995 and at, 24, became the youngest-ever and first female columnist at the Omaha World-Herald. (Which maybe won't sound like such a big deal to you, but she was pretty proud of herself at the time and celebrated with lots of Carlo Rossi Paisano.)
Though her first novel, Attachments, is set in a newsroom, it couldn't be less of a true story. She met her husband in junior high and can hardly get him to read her column, let alone her email.
Her second novel, Eleanor & Park sort of an East Omaha Romeo & Juliet came out in March 2013.
Her third book, Fangirl, another love and geek and family story, also comes out next year.
When she's not writing, Rainbow is reading comic books, planning Disney World trips and arguing with people about things that don't really matter in the big scheme of things. She has two sons, and if God hears her prayers, they will grow up just as nerdy and true-hearted as the protagonists of her books.

Comments about The Knot Heart Compact:
Gave this as a small gift to my bridesmaids, and of course bought one for myself. I loved that it was personalized and was quite weighted for being so small. I still carry mine to this day! Sturdy product- if it was going to break, with me, it would have been done so by now.

Lido Anthony "Lee" Iacocca (/ˌaɪ.əˈkoʊkə/ EYE-ə-KOH-kə; born October 15, 1924) is an American businessman known for engineering the Ford Mustang and Ford Pinto cars, being let go from Ford Motor Company, and his revival of the Chrysler Corporation in the 1980s.[1] He served as President and CEO of Chrysler from 1978 and additionally as chairman from 1979, until his retirement at the end of 1992.
Iacocca was a passionate advocate of U.S. business exports during the 1980s. He is the author (or co-author) of several books, including Iacocca: An Autobiography (with William Novak), and Where Have All the Leaders Gone?
Portfolio named Iacocca the 18th-greatest American CEO of all time.[2]
Early life[edit]
Iacocca was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania to Nicola Iacocca and Antonietta Perrotta, Italian immigrants (from San Marco dei Cavoti, Benevento) who had settled in Pennsylvania's steel-making belt. They operated a restaurant, Yocco's Hot Dogs. He was said to have been christened with the unusual name "Lido" because he was conceived during his parents' honeymoon in the Lido district in Venice, however, he refutes this rumor in his autobiography, saying that is romantic but not true: his father went to Lido long before his marriage and was traveling with his future wife's brother.[3]
Iacocca graduated from Allentown High School (now known as William Allen High School) in 1942, and Lehigh University in neighboring Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with a degree in industrial engineering. He is a member of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society, and an alumnus of Theta Chi Fraternity.
After graduating from Lehigh, he won the Wallace Memorial Fellowship and went to Princeton University, where he took his electives in politics and plastics. He then began a career at the Ford Motor Company as an engineer. Eventually dissatisfied with that job, he switched career paths at Ford, entering the company's sales force. He was very successful in sales, and he moved up through the ranks of Ford, moving ultimately to product development.
Marriage and family[edit]
Iacocca was married to Mary McCleary on September 29, 1956. They had two daughters: Kathryn and Lia. Mary Iacocca died on May 15, 1983 from diabetes. Both before and after her death, Iacocca became a strong advocate for better medical treatment of diabetes patients, who frequently faced debilitating and fatal complications.
Iacocca married his second wife Peggy Johnson on April 17, 1986 but in 1987, after nineteen months, Iacocca had the marriage annulled. He married a third wife, Darrien Earle, in 1991. They were divorced three years later.
Career at Ford[edit]
Iacocca joined Ford Motor Company in August 1946. After a brief stint in engineering, he asked to be moved to sales and marketing, where his career flourished. While working in the Philadelphia district as assistant sales manager, Iacocca gained national recognition with his "56 for '56" campaign, offering loans on 1956 model year cars with a 20% down payment and $56 in monthly payments for three years.[4] His campaign went national, and Iacocca was called to Dearborn, where he quickly moved up through the ranks. On November 10, 1960 Iacocca was named vice-president and general manager of the Ford Division; in January 1965 Ford's vice-president, car and truck group; in 1967, executive vice-president; and president on December 10, 1970.
Iacocca participated in the design of several successful Ford automobiles, most notably the Ford Mustang, the Lincoln Continental Mark III, the Ford Escort and the revival of the Mercury brand in the late 1960s, including the introduction of the Mercury Cougar and Mercury Marquis. He promoted other ideas which did not reach the marketplace as Ford products. These included cars ultimately introduced by Chrysler – the K car and the minivan. Eventually, he became the president of the Ford Motor Company, but he clashed with Henry Ford II. He was fired on July 13, 1978 although the company posted a $2 billion profit for the year.
Ford Pinto fuel tank controversy[edit]
Iacocca was also the "moving force", as one court put it, behind the Ford Pinto.[5] In 1977, there were allegations that the Pinto's structural design allowed its fuel-tank filler neck to break off[6] and the fuel tank to be punctured in a rear-end collision,[6] resulting in deadly fires. Iacocca was quoted as saying "Safety doesn't sell"; he became an icon of the economic appraisal of human life. This case is a staple of engineering ethics courses as an example of a bad cost–benefit analysis.[7][8]
Career at Chrysler[edit]
Iacocca was strongly courted by the Chrysler Corporation, which was on the verge of going out of business. At the time, the company was losing millions, largely due to recalls of its Dodge Aspen and Plymouth Volare. Iacocca later said they should never have been built. Iacocca joined Chrysler and began rebuilding the entire company from the ground up, laying off many workers, selling the loss-making Chrysler Europe division to Peugeot, and bringing in many former associates from his former company.
Also from Ford, Iacocca brought to Chrysler the "Mini-Max" project, which, in 1983, bore fruit in the highly successful Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager. Henry Ford II had wanted nothing to do with the Mini-Max, a restyled version of the minivan, which Toyota was selling in huge numbers in Asia and Latin America, and his opinion doomed the project at Ford. Hal Sperlich, the driving force behind the Mini-Max at Ford, had been fired a few months before Iacocca. He had been hired by Chrysler, where the two would make automotive history.
Iacocca arrived shortly after Chrysler's introduction of the subcompact Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon. Bearing a strong resemblance to the Volkswagen Rabbit, the front-wheel drive Omni and Horizon became instant hits, selling over 300,000 units each in their debut year, showing what was to come for Chrysler. The Omni had been designed alongside the Chrysler Horizon with much input from the Chrysler Europe division of the company (evidenced by many examples having VW/Audi engines), which Iacocca axed in 1978.
Iacocca gave an exclusive Chrysler Motors concession in Colombia to Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela, known to be the head of the Colombian drug dealing Cali Cartel.[9]
1979 Chrysler bailout[edit]
Realizing that the company would go out of business if it did not receive a significant amount of money for a turnaround, Iacocca approached the United States Congress in 1979 and asked for a loan guarantee. While some have said that Congress lent Chrysler the money, the government only guaranteed the loans. Most observers thought this was an unprecedented move, but Iacocca pointed to the government's bailouts of the airline and railroad industries. He argued that there were more jobs at stake in Chrysler's possible demise. Iacocca received the loan guarantee from the government, whose decision caused controversy.
Chrysler released the first of the K-Car line: the Dodge Aries and Plymouth Reliant, in 1981. Similar to the later minivan, these compact automobiles were based on design proposals which Ford had rejected during Iacocca's (and Sperlich's) tenure. Released in the middle of the major 1980-1982 recession, the small, efficient and inexpensive front-wheel drive cars sold rapidly. In addition, Iacocca re-introduced the big Imperial as the company's flagship. The new model had all of the newest technologies of the time, including fully electronic fuel injection and all-digital dashboard.
Chrysler introduced the minivan, chiefly Sperlich's "baby," in the fall of 1983. It led the automobile industry in sales for 25 years.[10] Because of the K-cars and minivans, along with the reforms Iacocca implemented, the company turned around quickly and was able to repay the government-backed loans seven years earlier than expected.
Iacocca led Chrysler's acquisition of AMC in 1987, which brought the profitable Jeep division under the corporate umbrella. It created the short-lived Eagle division, formed from the remnants of AMC. By this time, AMC had already finished most of the work with the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which Iacocca wanted. The Grand Cherokee would not be released until 1992 for the 1993 model year, the same year that Iacocca retired.
Throughout the 1980s, Iacocca appeared in a series of commercials for the company's vehicles, using the ad campaign, "The pride is back", to denote the turnaround of the corporation. He also used what was to become his trademark phrase: "If you can find a better car, buy it."
Iacocca retired as President, CEO and Chairman of Chrysler at the end of 1992.
1995 "Return" to Chrysler[edit]
In 1995, Iacocca assisted in billionaire Kirk Kerkorian's hostile takeover of Chrysler, which was ultimately unsuccessful. The next year, Kerkorian and Chrysler made a five-year agreement which included a gag order preventing Iacocca from speaking publicly about Chrysler.[11]
In July 2005, Iacocca returned to the airwaves as Chrysler's pitchman,[1] along with stars such as Jason Alexander and Snoop Dogg, to promote Chrysler's "Employee Pricing Plus" program; the ads reprise the "If you can find a better car, buy it" line, Iacocca's trademark of the 1980s. In return for his services, Iacocca and DaimlerChrysler agreed that his fees, plus a $1 donation per vehicle sold from July 1 through December 31, 2005, would be donated to the Iacocca Foundation for diabetes research.
Chrysler's 2009 bankruptcy[edit]
In an April 2009 Newsweek interview, Iacocca reflected on his time spent at Chrysler and the company's current situation. He said:[12]
This is a sad day for me. It pains me to see my old company, which has meant so much to America, on the ropes. But Chrysler has been in trouble before, and we got through it, and I believe they can do it again. If they're smart, they'll bring together a consortium of workers, plant managers and dealers to come up with real solutions. These are the folks on the front lines, and they're the key to survival. Let's face it, if your car breaks down, you're not going to take it to the White House to get fixed. But, if your company breaks down, you've got to go to the experts on the ground, not the bureaucrats. Every day I talk to dealers and managers, who are passionate and full of ideas. No one wants Chrysler to survive more than they do. So I'd say to the Obama administration, don't leave them out. Put their passion and ideas to work.
Because of the Chrysler bankruptcy, Iacocca may lose part of his pension from a supplemental executive retirement plan, and a guaranteed company car during his lifetime. The losses were due to take place once the bankruptcy court approves the sale of Chrysler to Chrysler Group LLC, with ownership of the new company by the United Auto Workers, the Italian carmaker Fiat and the governments of the United States and Canada.[13]
Other work and activities[edit]
In 1984, Iacocca co-authored (with William Novak) an autobiography, titled Iacocca: An Autobiography. It was the best selling non-fiction hardback book of 1984 and 1985. He donated the proceeds of the book's sales to diabetes research.
In 1988, Iacocca co-authored (with Sonny Kleinfeld) Talking Straight,[14] a book meant as a counterbalance to Akio Morita's Made in Japan, a non-fiction book praising Japan's post-war hard-working culture. Talking Straight praised the innovation and creativity of Americans.[15]
On May 17, 2007, Simon & Schuster published Iacocca's book, Where Have All the Leaders Gone?, co-written with Catherine Whitney.[16][17] An article with the same title, and same two co-authors, has recently been published.[18] In the book, Iacocca writes:
Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course." Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic. I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out!
Iacocca partnered with producer Pierre Cossette to bring a production of The Will Rogers Follies to Branson, Missouri in 1994. He also invested in Branson Hills, a 1,400-acre housing development.[19]
In 1993, he had joined the board of MGM Grand, led by his friend Kirk Kerkorian.[20] He started a merchant bank to fund ventures in the gaming industry, which he called "the fastest-growing business in the world".[21] In 1995, he sold his interests in several Indian gaming projects to Full House Resorts, a casino operator led by his friend Allen Paulson, becoming a major shareholder and later a member of the board of directors.[22]
Iacocca joined the board of restaurant chain Koo Koo Roo in 1995.[23] In 1998, he stepped up to serve as acting chairman of the troubled company, and led it through a merger with Family Restaurants (owner of Chi-Chi's and El Torito). He sat on the board of the merged company until stepping down in 1999.[24]
In 1999, Iacocca became the head of EV Global Motors, a company formed to develop and market electric bikes with a top speed of 15 mph and a range of 20 miles between recharging at wall outlets.[25][dead link]
Pennsylvania Governor Robert P. Casey discussed with Iacocca an appointment to the U.S. Senate in 1991 after the death of Senator H. John Heinz III, but Iacocca declined.
Politically, Iacocca supported the Republican candidate George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential election. In the 2004 presidential election, however, he endorsed Bush's opponent, Democrat John Kerry.[26] In Michigan's 2006 gubernatorial race, Iacocca appeared in televised political ads endorsing Republican candidate Dick DeVos,[27] who lost. Iacocca endorsed New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson for President in the 2008 Presidential Election.
On December 3, 2007, Iacocca launched a website to encourage open dialogue about the challenges of our time. He has introduced topics such as health care costs, and the United States' lag in developing alternative energy sources and hybrid vehicles. The site also promotes his book Where Have All the Leaders Gone. It provides an interactive means for users to rate presidential candidates by the qualities Iacocca believes they should possess: curiosity, creativity, communication, character, courage, conviction, charisma, competence and common sense.
In 2012, he endorsed Mitt Romney for President.[28]
Activism and philanthropy[edit]
In May 1982, President Ronald Reagan appointed Iacocca to head the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, which was created to raise funds for the renovation and preservation of the Statue of Liberty. He continues to serve on the board of the foundation.
Following the death of Iacocca's wife from diabetes, he became an active supporter of research for the disease. He has been one of the main patrons of the research of Denise Faustman at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 2000, Iacocca founded Olivio Premium Products, which manufactures the Olivio line of food products made from olive oil. He donates all profits from the company to diabetes research. In 2004, Iacocca launched Join Lee Now,[29] a national grassroots campaign, to bring Faustman's research to human clinical trials in 2006.
Iacocca has been an advocate of "Nourish the Children," an initiative of Nu Skin Enterprises,[30] since its inception in 2002. He is currently its chairman. He helped donate a generator for the Malawi VitaMeal plant.
Iacocca led the fundraising campaign to enable Lehigh University to adapt and use vacant buildings formerly owned by Bethlehem Steel. Iacocca Hall on the Mountaintop Campus of Lehigh University houses the College of Education, the biology and chemical engineering departments, and The Iacocca Institute, which is focused on global competitiveness.
Iacocca played Park Commissioner Lido in "Sons and Lovers", the 44th episode of Miami Vice, which premiered on May 9, 1986. The name of the character is a play on his birth name.
In 1985, Iacocca received the S. Roger Horchow Award for Greatest Public Service by a Private Citizen, an award given out annually by Jefferson Awards.[31]
In other media[edit]
- Lee Iacocca Elementary School, named after him, is a fictional school referenced in the film RoboCop, visited by the titular character of the movie.
- In the film Watchmen, Adrian Voidt/Ozymandias refers to a man attempting to dissuade him from inventing a means of providing free energy as "Mr. Iacocca".

Best white tea I've tried
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by Umbridge From Australia on Jul 11, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
I've heard wonderful things about white tea, but here most of our white teas aren't loose leaf so I haven't been very impressed. This is excellent. It has a subtle flavour, isn't heavy on the tannins, and a faint floral aroma. I don't know how else to describe it, except that it tastes elegant. It doesn't need milk or sugar, and is perfect as is!

Excellent White Tea to the Connoisseur
Posted by Reviewer1463803 From California on Nov 08, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
I am an avid tea drinker and quite a snob when it comes to the green tea varieties. This tea is subtle and delicate just like a white tea should be. It is also truly low on the caffeine content (which sometimes is not always the case with certain brands of white tea depending on how overly processed it is.) I highly recommend this tea and would buy it all the time if it weren't too expensive for my price range.

Looks Very Good

I bought this tea to make Kombucha, The leaves are full sized and look so freshly dried if there is such a thing. I'm still awaiting the finished brew. I did find a piece of plastic string in the packet though.... Not sure what that was...

A really perfect can. But the tea inside has no smell and taste at all. Do not advise to my enemies.
