Here's a matchup to watch in the Week Nine game between the Patriots and the Browns:
Browns RB Peyton Hillis vs. Patriots' front seven
The Patriots' strength on defense has come from a linebacking corps that includes three new starters, including two rookies. The defensive line has seen a lot of shuffling, but Vince Wilfork is still a stalwart, whether he is at the nose or on the end. As bad as the defense has been overall, the Pats rank 11th against the run, but they haven't faced a big, powerful back like Hillis.
With rookie RB Montario Hardesty going down in the preseason, Hillis won the starting job over Jerome Harrison. Hillis is averaging 4.4 yards a carry and has five rushing TDs. The 240-pound back is also a threat receiving, with 27 catches for 193 yards and a TD.
While the Patriots' secondary is clearly their weakness, the schemes that Bill Belichick will throw at Colt McCoy will be tough for the rookie QB. The Browns' best chance to win is for Hillis to have a big game, dominate the time of possession and keep their own defense (especially the secondary) off the field.
Vikings RB Adrian Peterson had some success in the first half last week against the Pats running up the gut, which is where Hillis will want to attack. But ILB Jerod Mayo is having a big season, leading the league in tackles, and rookie ILB Brandon Spikes has also performed well against the run. If Hillis finds holes to run though and moves the chains, McCoy can gain a little confidence, and it could provide the recipe the Browns need for an upset.

How long did he stay in that position
Now I know how crazy I'd look shooting with the M.
Here's what it looks like. I must say this looks like an extremely comfortable setup for general walk around birding.
Haha, this looks almost as ridiculous as an iPhone with a Photojojo SLR mount attached.Exactly! The M looks like an oversized lens cap.

---- — When I lost my job at the sheriff's department at age 58, there was no way I could afford to keep my COBRA health insurance. I looked for a catastrophic care policy that would at least protect me from total financial disaster should I experience a serious illness or accident while I was unemployed. Even those plans would have taken nearly all my unemployment income.
So I went without any health insurance for nine months. I quit taking my prescriptions. I didn't go to the doctor. Luckily, I made it through.
If you've always received your health insurance through your job, as I had, you may tend to take it for granted.
You complain because co-pays keep going up and coverage keep going down.
But, still, it was there – so that your kids could get treatment if they fell off their bike and broke bones, so you wouldn't be heading to bankruptcy court if you had a heart attack.
There are people who voluntarily choose not to pay for health insurance. They are most likely young and healthy and believe themselves to be invincible. And who pays their medical costs if they prove not to be invincible after all? Well, that would be the rest of us.
Because we let people go without healthcare in the U.S. but we don't usually let them go without treatment.
And now there is the Affordable Care Act better known as Obamacare. Who could imagine that this would be the issue over which they would be willing to bring down the entire United States economy, maybe even the world economy, if they actually let us go into default?
Of course, our very own Republican leadership in Indianapolis requested an exemption for a year and got it. That means we won't expand our current Medicaid program, which covers 37,000 Hoosiers and has a waiting list of 53,000. (Obamacare would cover 400,000). Yep, that makes perfect sense. Let's shaft the poorest people.
Indiana's rates under the health exchange are out. There are many offers to choose from, just as you may have in your own job – a gold plan, a silver plan, a bronze plan, a catastrophic care plan. There will be many variations according to income and dependents. It is estimated that 60 percent of Hoosiers will qualify for tax credits. (Go to: healthcare.gov to find out the rates for your particular situation).
Already through, under Obamacare, insurance companies can no longer refuse coverage if you have a pre-existing condition, lifetime caps have been eliminated, preventive care is free, your children can stay on your policy until age 26, the donut hole for seniors is being closed, insurance companies must spend at least 80 percent of premiums on actual healthcare or rebate that money back to insureds. If you get your health insurance through your employer, your life won't change much. But if you don't, Obamacare just may make the difference between security and catastrophe.

One word to describe GIFs by Rick Silva: sublime.
Rick Silva, "Diamond Creek Falls Loop", Willamette National Forest, Oregon. 3pm. 56 f. From the En plein air series.
It doesn't get much greener than "Endless Grass."
There's been a variety of fun and whimsical art events lately, but every once in a while there's a week of substantive works which we'll be thinking back on for years to come. Performa is one of those, and the online biennial "The Wrong" might be another. And after 41 years, this Tuesday's event at the Clocktower Gallery may be your last opportunity to visit before it's turned into luxury condos.
We're feeling pretty lazy after the fairs, so lucky for us, our art has come pre-bundled. This week: three fairs are still open, Eyebeam launches its video festival, and PS1 continues its Expo on ecology. On Saturday, we get to choose between Redhook and Bushwick. Now all we need is a piggy back.
We learned through the grapevine this week that there's a new net art gallery coming to Bushwick. Transfer is scheduled to open March 16th, and we're excited.

CATEGORIES MoviesIn Hollywood, what's old is new again. And again.
This weekend, the gore-slicked "Evil Dead" remake crawls its way into theaters nationwide. And even if you have no idea what "Evil Dead" is, you probably have the vague understanding that it's a remake (or "reboot," as the kids are calling it these days). It is, in fact, a remake of a beloved cult classic from 1981 (and incorporates elements from its two equally cultish sequels - 1987's "Evil Dead II" and 1992's "Army of Darkness").
So, of course, when hearing that it's a remake (especially a remake of a beloved horror movie), the initial response is to assume that it sucks. Because, well, most horror remakes are horrible.
But not all horror remakes suck! Which is a big distinction to keep in mind. Some even (gasp!) improve upon the original in some pretty profound ways. In fact, we've rounded up five of the very best horror remakes to scientifically prove, once and for all, that not all horror remakes suck. (Keep in mind that no science was actually involved in the creation of this list.)

On cask at Moeder Lambic. Drinks like something between a straight, flat lambic (which it is not) and a fully effervescent mature gueze (which it also, is not). A lovely beer on a hot, humid spring night, as it warms up, you can really taste the grain complexity which is rare in any spontanteously fermented beer. Overall this beer is a thing of beauty. I would not be surprised however, if in a bottle, this beer metamorphosed into something either better, or worse. Time will tell. For now, drink up if you can find it.

Bomber bought in Buffalo last winter. Cellared, let outside today to cool, poured into wine glasses and enjoyed.
The packaging is funny. I like the paper-wrapped bottle. The label on the actual bottle itself is straight out of the early 1980s. Dot matrix font printing. Kind of awe-uninspiring. But I'm not drinking the label, so no biggie. Oh, and I can't find the abv on the label. Fun!
Pour: there wasn't all that much head/carbonation.Thin microcarbon bubbles with a teeny tiny white lacing on top. leaves an o-ring around the rim of the glass.
Its colour in an apricot gold. very purdy. Nose-wise, you have to breath in real deep to get the nuances of the nose (so a few points off for that). but once you breathe it in, you appreciate the barnyard hit that you get. It's like a horse had sex with a lemon on a pile of wet hay. Now, the challenge is explaining to non-sourheads how that is appealing, but trust me, it is.
This is a very nice tasting beer. It has a lingering, bitter (orange peel?) finish to it, which is strange for a sour/lambic. But I don't mind. Not kicking this girl out of bed just yet. It definitely has a medium level of sweetness to the taste, but it has the dry, barrel-aged finish to it, which is nice. Getting a mouthful of lemon, citrus, some cherry. The funk/blue cheese taste lingers along with the bitterness after you swallow. A lovely reminder of what you just consumed. Alcohol is hidden. Be careful, ye mateys. Oh yeah, I'd suggest that there's a slight chalky mouth coat after. strange.
This is definitely a solid sour. Curious as to what it would taste like 2 years down the road. But the level of funk after 1 year was very nice. Not sure if I'd let it ride for anything more than 1 additional year.

Thanks to thirdeye11 for sharing this bottle at a recent tasting.
The beer pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma is tart lemons with some oak. The flavor is more of the same with a lot of tart lemons mixed with oak, some vanilla and Belgian yeast. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A very nice sour beer that I hope to try again.

Reviewed from notes.
Let me start by saying that I made a mistake. The 2 other De Ranke products I have had have been nothing short of glorious. Yeah I said Glorious. De Ranke XX and Guldenburg are two personal favorites and I was under the impression that this was cut from the same Jib. Style is indicated as belgian pale, label did not indicate what I was in for. This being said...
Poured from a corked and caped 750ml bottle into a 20oz pint glass. Firm pour yields zero head nada zilch. Poured the color of apple cider.
Nose- Apple cider, sour rotton apples, not much else.
Taste- Ugh, per the preface not what I was expecting. Not certain what this is, but I now can say that I am not a fan. Exceedingly sour, bitterness, rotton apples, very low carbonation. Almost akin to one of those sour apple candies minus all sweetness.
Drinkability- Drain pour. Finished half a glass, couldnt finish the rest.
Mouthfeel- Bitter very low carbonation. Very dry.
First and only drain pour so far. My expectations could not have been more off on this one. If you are into sours, you might enjoy.

Thanks for opening this one, Nathan!
Lightly hazed golden orange with a big, foaming, though quickly disappearing near-white head and eventually leaves spots of lace down the glass.
Very successful, delightful aroma: a nice combination of sour, funk, and sweet notes. The funk is very earthy and reminds me of a musty basement, with some stinging sour notes, and sweet fruit notes. Unique and delightful.
The flavor isn't quite as successful, as some sweetness overpowers the sour funk I crave--though the sweet fruit notes are nice and bright: apricot, lemon, and juicy nectarine. The funk however is still present and is reminiscent of earth, brick, and hay.
Thin to medium bodied with low to moderate carbonation. It needs more body and/or bubbles.
A terrific beer, but a bit too sweet to be ranked among the absolute best, though I'd certainly never turn it down.

Bottle shared by Lee - thanks!
Pours a murky golden-orange color with a half-finger white head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of light malts with large amounts of funk. Also present are hints of wheat twang and floral aromas.
Tastes good. Light malt flavors kick things off and are quickly joined by large amounts of funk. Midway through the sip moderate amounts of light citrus flavors work their way into things along with slight amounts of oak. The oak fades quickly, leaving the funk and light citrus flavors to carry through to a moderately tart ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with active carbonation.
Drinkability is also good. I finished my glass quickly and could have another without any problems.
Overall I had this back-to-back with Cuvee de Tomme and the flavor profile on this was smaller in both depth and width. Still, an easy-drinking beer for the style with a decent amount going on.

750ml bottle, paper-wrapped. Refermented, once again 'en bouteille', for 'taste evolution'. I love that, I just do.
This beer pours a hazy, medium muddled golden apricot hue, with two fingers of puffy, foamy off-white head, which leaves some crumbling sea-cliff lace around the glass as it duly recedes.
It smells of moderately tart lemon and cherry notes, pale grainy malt, mild, yeasty barn-like funk, soft hay, and a weak woodiness. The taste leads with the same tamely sour stone fruit acidity - mostly lemon - with a sturdy grainy, almost lager-like malt, some waning green yeastiness, subtle organic funk, a further, slightly sweet orchard fruitiness, and some equivocating dry oak notes. Nothing from the elevated ABV of which to speak at this juncture, apparently.
The carbonation is a tad frizzy, but seemingly only momentarily so, and otherwise mostly understated in its support, the body a generally medium weight, and fairly smooth in the face of the understated sour interlopers. It finishes off-dry, the sweetness of the malt engendering a fruitiness that is not all that (tart, that is), with the funk and yeast trailing off into the West.
A decently balanced sour Belgian ale, the blended 'fruity' lambic adding an extra oomph factor, without going all over the top. Weirdly drinkable, especially when your taste buds have gotten all pent up in anticipation, which I suppose is a good thing here. Now, on the flip side, the ABV has been upped, yet the inherent tartness is just capable enough at hiding it. Huh. It's always something, with these Low Country offerings.

Supremely enjoyable is you are OK with some sourness. Sourness, some lambic aroma, and transparent appearance, and some yeast and head. This was nicely malted. A tad less than median mouthfeel. Average mouthfeel. Not as dry as expected. Wonderful with lunch.

Cuvée de Ranke pours a bright gold color. Backlighting gives it orange highlights. It's moderately hazy, and has an attractive look. Topping it off is a soft, white head that stands about a finger and a half tall. It's quick to recede, leaving behind spotty strands of lace in its wake. Not bad at all.
The nose is a little weak, but it gets the job done. It's predominantly musky, earthy, and funky. How's that for a combo? Brett gives it a nice barnyard scent. In terms of Brett strength, it's moderate. It mixes nicely with the other scents, and isn't overpowering in the least. Light lemon and tangerine scents are subtle, but add quality depth. Yeast is noted on the tail. Alcohol is buried.
The flavor delivers in a big way! This is delicious beer. It's initially fruity. Lemon, apple, and tangering flavors are all noted. It's definitely tart and sour, but it's far from a mouth puckering tartness. Earthy notes are prominent throughout. Brett certainly gives it a musky, funky flavor that's top notch. I really like the restrained, moderate Brett flavors. Works perfectly here. Light pepper and yeast round it out. I'm not getting any alcohol. It finishes dry and a little tart.
Cuvée de Ranke certainly has a light body. Carbonation is active, but somehow the bubbles feel small and help to smooth it out. Drinkability is very high. This is damn tasty stuff. Goes down very smooth and easy. Finishing off a 750 ml bottle should be no problem.
Brouwerij De Ranke certainly hit a home run with Cuvée de Ranke. It's my understanding that this is the base beer for Kriek de Ranke. No wonder it's so tasty. There's not much to complain about here. Eh. Maybe the nose could use a little more strength. Perhaps a little more body, too. But, I'm good with this as it is. Not too tart, Not too funky...just right. Highly recommended.

Hazy orange pour with a surprisingly present off-white head. Tart fruit nose; some grapefruit, lemon, and sour cherry. Good bit of wood and some barnyard funkiness. Overall, there was something too sweet/tart about this simply because there were not more complex flavors underneath. Felt like I wanted more depth in the flavor, but ultimately it was thin as was the palate. Decent, but admittedly a bit of letdown given my high hopes.

Brewery's boost for bowling sessions
2:00pm Saturday 1st February 2014 in News By Telegraph & Argus
A charity supporting blind people has received a cash boost from a Gomersal brewing company.
Kegspertise has given a portion of its profits to fund bowls sessions for Society of the Blind of Dewsbury, Batley and District.
The society had its Government funding cut last year, resulting in activities being suspended and staff hours reduced.
Charity manager Lisa Bownes said: "The members couldn't thank Andy enough and they were all glad to be bowling again."

Just a couple of weeks ago, few people would have predicted that Ryan Fitzpatrick would be an MVP candidate this season. Though the Bills' QB had a solid season in 2010 (3,000 yards, 23 TDs, 15 INTs), historically, voters don't hand out awards to signalcallers with those type of stats for a last-place team, which Buffalo was a year ago. And with a shaky offensive line in front of him and an inexperienced receiving corps — which lost veteran Lee Evans just a few weeks before the season began — there were plenty of people doubting if Fitzpatrick could even duplicate the stats he posted in 2010.
Through two weeks of the season, Fitzpatrick is making those doubters think again. Leading the league's highest-scoring offense, the former seventh-round pick from Harvard is torching opponents to the tune of seven touchdowns to just one interception and a 109.6 QB rating. More importantly, the Bills are 2-0 and tied with the Jets and Patriots for first in the AFC East, the major reason Fitzpatrick has earned an appearance on the MVP Meter. With New England and their own MVP candidate coming to Buffalo this week, the Bills' QB has a big chance to convert even more doubters.
(Last weeks ranking in parenthesis)
1. Patriots QB Tom Brady (No. 1) — The Patriots are not only airing it out, they are doing it with great success. Brady ranks in the top two in the league in attempts, completions, yards, completion percentage, touchdowns and QB rating. This week he faces the Bills, whom he is 17-1 against with 39 touchdown passes, the most of any opponent.
2. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (No. 2) — Famously passed over by the 49ers for the top pick in the 2005 draft, Rodgers has made it his mission to terrorize No. 1 overall selections ever since. Since becoming the Packers' starter in 2008, he has notched wins over clubs led by Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Alex Smith, Michael Vick and Matthew Stafford. Last Sunday, Rodgers added Cam Newton to the list, throwing for 308 yards and two TDs in a comeback win against the Panthers.
3. Saints QB Drew Brees (No. 4) — Brees and the fast-paced Saints offense are perfect for the climate-controlled conditions. That turns out to be a positive this season, as the Saints will play 10 of their final 14 games in domes. The only remaining outdoor games are in the not-so-hostile weather climates of Jacksonville, Charlotte, Tampa and Nashville.
4. Ravens RB Ray Rice (No. 5) — Week Two was rough not only for Rice, but the entire Ravens team, who were overwhelmed by the Titans in a 26-13 loss. The running back still managed 96 total yards and a receiving touchdown, however, and should be able to bounce back this Sunday against the banged-up Rams.
5. Lions QB Matthew Stafford (Cusp) — Injuries held Stafford back his first two seasons in the league, as he played just 13 games combined in 2009 and '10. This year he's staying healthy thanks in large part to improved play by the Lions' offensive line, which hasn't allowed an opponent to sack Stafford through two weeks.
6. Chargers QB Philip Rivers (No. 6) — Opponents have made it clear to Rivers: We're not going to let you have both WR Vincent Jackson and TE Antonio Gates at your disposal. In Week One, the Vikings focused on Jackson, limiting him to just two receptions, while Gates hauled in eight. The Patriots did the opposite in Week Two. Gates was thrown at only once — the pass was intercepted — while Rivers and Jackson hooked up 10 times for 172 yards and two TDs.
7. Lions WR Calvin Johnson (No. 8) — There are a lot of tough tasks in the NFL, but near the top of the list is for cornerbacks to keep Johnson out of the endzone. He has four TDs in two games this year, and 38 total in his career. Even a sore ankle doesn't seem to be slowing him down.
8. Eagles QB Michael Vick (No. 3) — Vick's return to the Georgia Dome didn't go as expected, as the QB threw an interception, lost a pair of fumbles, saw his defense give up a big lead and left concussed and bloody. He may miss this weeks big NFC East showdown with the Giants because of the hits he took vs. the Falcons.
9. Jets CB Darrelle Revis (No. 9) — Why was Revis crying during the Jets' 32-3 thrashing of the Jaguars in Week Two? Because Jacksonville WR Jason Hill, the man who said that the All-Pro corner was "overhyped," was made inactive by Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio. "I was in tears that he didn't play," Revis sarcastically told ESPN New York. "If you're going to trash talk, at least show up and play so you can prove yourself, and he didn't."
10. Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Not ranked) — Fitzpatrick had plenty of chance to be a hero in 2010, as the Bills often had chances to win games in the fourth quarter or overtime last season. That didn't happen too much, a major reason the team finished 4-12. Last Sunday, Fitzpatrick showed how much he's changed, going 8-for-13 on the final drive of the game, capping it with the winning six-yard TD to WR David Nelson, helping the team improve to 2-0.
Five on the cusp (in alphabetical order) — Bears RB Matt Forte, Bills RB Fred Jackson, Vikings RB Adrian Peterson, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, Texans QB Matt Schaub

It could be as far as a decade away, yet the prospect of replacing the ailing 62-year-old Rumson-Sea Bright Bridge has people poised for and bucking some of the changes it may bring.
The future estimated $60 million bridge replacement has nothing whatsoever to do with the looming weekday closure of the bridge for safety upgrades on Jan. 28, which has many riled.
Still, area residents on a cold winter's night Wednesday were out in force at the Rumson public forum at Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School on the years-away project now in what's been deemed its conceptual development phase.
A preferred plan out of roughly a dozen drafts has surfaced. It's a melding of what were deemed the top two proposals at a meeting of stakeholders in June.
The plan would, essentially, call for a realigned similarly designed drawbridge with four lanes rather than the existing two, increased and beautified walking paths and islands, a cul-de-sac, a smaller park (or creation of a "triangle" near the playground section) on the Rumson side and a lopping off of the existing Dunkin' Donuts and possibly Anchorage Apartments on the Sea Bright side.
The cul-de-sac would be built "at the Rumson Road leg of the intersection to eliminate the fifth leg of the intersection. The existing substandard horizontal curve through the intersection will be eliminated, and intersection sight distance will be improved," according to one of the favored draft plans presented at the stakeholders meeting.
There would be no temporary bridge built on a parallel alignment, due to high cost implications; and the construction would be completed in one phase of an estimated two-year rebuild.
While the bridge can still handle the tonnage of emergency vehicles and does not yet warrant a weight limit, it is still deemed in "serious" condition, Monmouth County Engineer Joseph Ettore said that it's on the way there and the idea, with these plans is to be prepared and ready to stave off such a situation.
As it stands, he said, the bridge is structurally deficient with rust, corrosion and electrical deficiencies. Yet, there is no weight limit on it at this point, as with the Oceanic Bridge, which has a posted 15-ton cut-off. "What we're trying to do is be proactive, so that when the (federal) money becomes available, we're there," Ettore said.
The replacement will more than likely come in the form of another drawbridge. "This one, yes, is eligible for placement on the National Register of Historic Places," Ettore said. So, it's original design is a contender for preservation as well.
While fixed span options were presented, they were rebuffed without much feasibility analysis, if any, because a fixed span design just wouldn't fit in the spot over the Shrewsbury River.
That was and has been a relief to many who have opted for a more in-character, close-to-original design. And there were other concerns.
Right off the bat, Rumson residents objected to what they said were traffic implications and the neighborhood intrusiveness potential of a cul-de-sac. They weren't too pleased with the notion of cutting the West Park's park at the foot of the Rumson side down in size, either. And they questioned kids' safety in the area with all that action in one spot and summer traffic, especially.
But, Ettore stressed, "This is why we are asking for input now. Nothing is set in stone. This is only the concept development phase (which will close in April). We have to review all of the input and then consult with the two primary agencies involved in the phase, the NJ DOT (Department of Transportaton) and the NJ Transportation Planning Authority, as well as Rumson and Sea Bright officials."
Following that process thoroughly makes it more likely that the federal government will fund the project. It must pass the muster of state entities first in order for eligibility or even review on the federal funding level. But, Ettore said, there is still always the possibility that it could end up being rejected.
The goal is to attain 100 percent federal funding from the Federal Highway Authority. "At this point, this phase has been funded with federal dollars," said Martine Culbertson, a county-contracted "community involvement facilitator." After this, it's a gamble, she said. That is why, Ettore said, county officials are doing all they can to make sure all federal standards for such a process are lived up to "in order to successfully secure the funds needed."
If all goes well, the project, according to a county timeline, will continue as follows:
Concept Development Project Schedule (Major Milestones)

Travel Grants
James Carrier and Neil Clarke were awarded travel grants in Fall 2011. Carrier, an independent writer and film maker from Madison, Wisconsin, was awarded a grant to work at the CBMR toward the completion of a film documentary on the work of Dena Epstein titled "The Librarian and the Banjo." He was in residence at the CBMR during June 2012.
Clarke, a professional musician and adjunct lecturer at City College of New York, explored "The Presence and Evolution of the African Drum in North America." In addition to books and dissertations related to jazz and African drumming in the CBMR library, Clarke also combed through many research notes and files in the Dena Epstein and Eileen Southern collections. His findings have served as primary source materials for his courses and as fodder for a larger grant-funded project on a similar theme which will require an extended residency.
The Spring 2012 travel grant recipients are Kenneth Prouty and Braxton Shelley. Prouty, an assistant professor of music at Michigan State University who was in residence at the CBMR during May 2012, is working on a project tentatively titled "A History of Jazz Education." He is investigating "jazz education's links to entities outside the academy" and will seek to compile information about jazz education in the United States.
Braxton Shelley, a recent graduate of Duke University, where he was the Reginaldo Howard Memorial Scholar and the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Research Fellow, will be in residence at the CBMR in late August 2012. He will pursue a project on sacred music composer Glenn Burleigh. Using some of Burleigh's popular gospel songs as points for comparison, Shelley will investigate the use of composer's musical materials in Burleigh's cantatas. Shelley's travel grant is funded through a generous gift from Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church, Boulder, Colorado, in honor of the late Dr. Horace C. Boyer.
CBMR travel grants of up to $1,000 are awarded on a competitive basis to applicants who demonstrate the ability to launch and complete a scholarly or performance-based research project based on the CBMR's collections. The grants are supported with funds that have been given to the Center in honor of CBMR founder and Director Emeritus Samuel A. Floyd Jr. and in memory of Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson. Scholars, composers, conductors, musicians, educators, graduate students, and independent researchers residing or attending school beyond commuting distance of the Center for Black Music Research (more than 100 miles) are eligible to apply for this grant. Researchers in all genres of black music are encouraged to apply as interests ranging from concert music to gospel to jazz criticism have been explored through this grant.
Applications are accepted twice yearly and must be postmarked or received by September 1 and February 1. Additional information and application forms are available at the CBMR's website, or by calling 312.369.7559 to request information.

Entrepreneurship meets innovation
A "spirit of innovation" has long been a hallmark of a Queen's education. Nowadays, more than ever, that makes good sense for many reasons.
One of the things we often hear economic and social commentators say is that the era of the "job for life," either corporate or not-for-profit, is ending, and so today's graduates must learn to be entrepreneurs.
Without accepting some of the more extreme prognostications on this score – surely there will be a space, for instance, for public service, long a major destination of Queen's alumni – it's hard to deny that innovation and entrepreneurship are and will be critically important to Canada and the world.
Successful businesses generate the taxes and the jobs that support our social safety net. Yet with a few noteworthy exceptions, when compared to the U.S., Canada historically has underperformed in the arena of entrepreneurship. Similarly, despite a wealth of inventions and discoveries pouring out of Canadian universities, the rate of translation of these into commercial, scalable products is slow, as noted in the recent Jenkins Report on research in Canada. (http://pwc.to/10TpDji)
On some of my recent international travels, I've been struck not just by the number of small- and medium-size enterprises that have emerged from universities and grown into successful businesses (or indeed, failed businesses; I'll come back to that point), but rather by the spaces for young entrepreneurs that have been created in urban centres. On a recent trip to Boston, I visited several of these spaces in the company of Greg Bavington, Sc'85, Executive Director of the Queen's Innovation Connector – a joint venture by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and Queen's School of Business.
The places we toured aren't high-gloss corporate facilities. One, which is called "Mass Challenge," does have a lovely view of the Charles River, but someone pointed out to us that after the first day no one who works here notices the view. The space is filled with desks and open spaces where would-be start-ups get four months to develop and spin out a product before they have to move along. Mass Challenge is a business incubator with a high turnover rate and a varied demographic. The oldest resident is 87, although (not surprisingly) most are a lot younger.
"One of the most important bits of advice I've heard successful entrepreneurs offer is 'Fail early, fail often.'
Greg and I also visited "Greentown," a basement space in a rather grungy building in Boston that's home to a dozen or so small groups developing products that take basic research and apply it to green technologies. This is a different approach than the one taken at Mass Challenge because in addition to desks and computers, Greentown also provides an actual shop floor and equipment to use in building and testing products.
Similar initiatives are scattered across the U.S.. A common feature of all of them is that ever present is the risk of failure, which is an accepted part of the entrepreneurial experience. As the saying goes, "Reward is in direct proportion to risk." Not every idea becomes a product; nor does every product become a success.
One of the most important bits of advice I've heard successful entrepreneurs offer is "Fail early, fail often." In short, don't be afraid to take risks; know that sometimes you're going to fall flat on your face, so learn how and when to pull the plug on an unsuccessful venture, and then move on.
While Canadian universities and cities have some work to do when it comes to developing such models, there have been some good starts. For example, here at Queen's and in Kingston, apart from Innovation Park and PARTEQ, the Queen's Innovation Connector is showing great promise. The University is looking for funding to expand this program, and the 2012-13 AMS Executive team was fully supportive of efforts to provide the conditions for success in student entrepreneurship.
Queen's is already a hothouse of ideas and new research, and each year we graduate a new cohort of bright young minds who are bubbling with the "spirit of initiative." Our challenge is to create the conditions that fully unleash this potential and to nurture it as it migrates out into the world. Our alumni can play a big part in the process by providing mentorship, networking opportunities, and possibly even capital investment.
If such an opportunity knocks on your door, I'd urge you to please give it some serious thought, and consider ways you can contribute to the successes of Queen's graduates and to society as a whole.

St. Vincent de Paul has several neighborhood-based pantries throughout Cincinnati, including Choice Food Pantry in the West End, and they are running out of food.
Officials say they've experienced a dramatic increase in need over the past few months, and now they are running out of food to give to hungry families.
"Many of the people we are seeing have never received help from us before, or have been self-sufficient for the past 4 or 5 years but now find they can no longer make ends meet," wrote St. Vincent de Paul Communications Coordinator Elysa Hamlin to FOX19 on Thursday.
Hamlin says after serving more than 100 people at the Choice Food Pantry on Tuesday, the shelves were bare. The pantry will be open again on Friday, and organizers worry they will have nothing to offer those in need.
In addition, this increase in need has been felt throughout the city and into the suburbs. Food pantries in Mt. Airy, Price Hill and Mt. Washington are also short.
According to Hamlin, the Mt. Washington pantry is so low on food that they also have nothing left to re-stock their shelves.
If you'd like to help, stop in at any of the nine St. Vincent de Paul food pantries in the area. Learn more about the society here: http://www.svdpcincinnati.org

WASHINGTON (BP) -- The U.S. government and the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom have issued calls for the release of an American pastor who may face the gallows for spreading the Gospel in Iran.
Saeed Abedini, an Iranian-born pastor who is a naturalized U.S. citizen, faces charges of undermining the Iranian government by planting house churches and of trying to turn the country's youth from Islam, according to media reports.
Abedini's supporters say he was in Iran last summer to finish building an orphanage when members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard hauled him away in a bus for prison, according to World Watch Monitor, a news service focusing on the persecuted church. Abedini has suffered beatings while in prison and now faces trial before a Revolutionary Court judge, Abbas Pir-Abbassi, labeled a human rights violator by the European Union and infamous for his harsh sentencing -- including executions -- of students who protested Iran's 2009 elections.
The U.S. State Department has yet to call for Abedini's release, although U.S. National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor urged Jan. 18 that the pastor be freed.
"We remain troubled by the case of U.S. citizen Saeed Abedini, who was arrested by Iranian officials more than three months ago on charges relating to his religious beliefs," Vietor said, according to Fox News. "We call upon Iranian authorities to release him immediately."
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, a government advisory body, also called for Abedini's release and denounced Iran's "trumped-up" charges.
"The national security charges leveled against Mr. Abedini are bogus and are a typical tactic by the Iranian government to masquerade the real reason for the charges: to suppress religious belief and activity of which the Iranian government does not approve," USCIRF chair Katrina Lantos Swett said in a news release, adding that Abedini cannot expect justice in court.
"Judge Pir-Abbassi is notorious for conducting swift trials and imposing lengthy prison terms, as well as the death penalty, without any semblance of due process," Swett said.
Iranian state media had reported on Monday (Jan. 21) that Saeed would be freed on bail, a report that Saeed's wife, Naghmeh Abedini, denounced as a lie, according to Fox News.
"This has been a repeated promise by the Iranian regime since Saeed was first thrown in prison on Sept. 26, 2012," she told Fox. "We have presented bail. After the judge told Saeed's lawyer that bail was back on the table, the family in Tehran ran around in circles today to make sure Saeed was let out on bail. But again the bail officer rejected bail."
CNN reported that a trial of Abedini begin Monday (Jan. 1). The pastor gave the judge a written statement and answered questions by prosecutors and his defense attorney.
The trial included a hearing -- from which Abedini and his lawyer were barred -- in which a lay church leader was called to testify about his connection to Abedini, according to a blog post by Jordan Sekulow, executive director of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ). Questions ranged from whether Abedini encouraged conversion to Christianity and how he financed his trips to establish an orphanage in Iran.
During a conference call reported by CNN, Naghmeh Abedini said she last spoke to her husband on Jan. 9. "He sounded OK," she said. "He sounded tired. He said he had come to a realization that they would not be releasing him anytime soon. Up until Christmas he had had hope."
According to World Watch Monitor, Saeed Abedini converted from Islam to Christianity in 2000 and helped start house churches in Iran. He had been arrested multiple times by authorities, but Tiffany Barrans, ACLJ's international legal director, told World Watch Monitor that in 2009 the pastor made a deal with Iran's intelligence police. That deal allowed him to come back to Iran to build an orphanage in exchange for staying out of house church work, an agreement his supporters say he kept. But before his latest trip to Iran, the religiously controlled Revolutionary Guard took jurisdiction over Iran's Christian community from the intelligence police, Barrans said, coinciding with a more aggressive campaign to drive Christianity out of Iran.
Barrans told World Watch Monitor that the U.S. could put pressure on Iran through countries like Brazil and Turkey, which have strong economic ties with Iran.
"We can reach out to multiple countries to just put in an inquiry on Pastor Saeed," Barrans said. "If Iran takes enough inquiries from friends, they will take notice of Saeed's case and ensure justice is done, whether that means he receives a fair trial, or they take him out of the Revolutionary Court system, or if they release him immediately."
Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission and a former USCIRF commissioner, called Saeed Abedini's ordeal "yet one more example of the Iranian government trampling the human rights of people who don't kowtow to their dictates concerning religious and political beliefs."
Abedini's trial comes as Iran shows no signs of relenting in its persecution of Christians and their defenders. Pastor Benham Irani continues to languish in prison under a six-year sentence for "acting against the interests if national security," according to International Christian Concern, a Washington advocacy group for the persecuted church.
In addition, Iranian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who was acquitted in September of apostasy charges that could have brought execution, was thrown back in prison for a brief stint -- incarcerated on Christmas Day but released Jan. 8. His attorney, however, sits in prison under a lengthy sentence, according to the British religious rights organization Chrstian Solidarity Worldwide. Mohammed Ali Dadkhah, a prominent Iranian human rights lawyer who helped secure Nadarkhani's release, was jailed and disbarred for 10 years in September 2012. Reports indicate his health is rapidly deteriorating.
Abedini's wife Nagmeh, who lives in the U.S. with her and Saeed's two small children, told the Boise, Idaho, TV station KBOI of a conversation she had with her husband over the phone.
"It was weeks and weeks before I even heard his voice," she said. "He shared that he really misses the kids and me and really wants to be home."
The ACLJ is taking a petition to President Obama, Congress and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urging all available diplomatic and legislative means to be used in securing Saeed Abedini's release. The petition is online at http://aclj.org/iran/save-american-pastor-iranian-abuse-imprisonment.
