Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Flashback: The Police
Great artists have been making history using Fender instruments for decades. Many of these greats are featured in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; join us as we take a detailed look at some at some of the artists who've been inducted in previous years and who make the Hall of Fame one of the world's greatest monuments to one of the world's greatest musical forms.
1978 debut album Outlandos d'Amour.
Written by Jeff Owens
In the first half of the 1980s, the Police were quite simply the biggest band in the world. Electrifying chemistry and the uncanny ability to produce musically innovative and brilliantly crafted hits seemingly at will made them planet-dominating superstars, bolstered by a non-stop work ethic, highly photogenic looks and famously violent internal feuding.
Over the course of five studio albums, a long list of hits came in a breathlessly creative torrent from 1978 to 1983, including "Roxanne," "Message in a Bottle," "Walking on the Moon," "Don't Stand So Close to Me," "De Doo Doo Doo, Da Da Da Da," "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," "Spirits in the Material World," "Every Breath You Take," "Wrapped Around Your Finger" and "Synchronicity II" among others. In the process, drummer Stewart Copeland, guitarist Andy Summers and bassist/vocalist/principal songwriter Gordon "Sting" Sumner used the old tools of rock 'n' roll to introduce new sounds and structures into mainstream pop music, influencing generations of musicians to come and wresting the title of World's Biggest Band from the aging blues-based titans who lumbered across the Earth in the 1970s. They worked incredibly hard to do it, and they did everything their way.
And then, at the height of it all, they quit. The Police surprised everyone (as they often did and would continue to do) by relinquishing the throne at the very pinnacle of their success, at the end of the massive 1983-1984 world tour for massive fifth album Synchronicity; all but handing U2 the keys to subsequent world domination.
Then, after nearly a quarter century of emphatically quashing any talk of reconvening, the famously fractious Police surprised everyone yet again by announcing a massive 2007-2008 reunion tour that duly became one of the top-grossing concert ventures of all time.
Second and third albums Reggatta de Blanc (1979) and Zenyatta Mondatta (1980).
Perhaps the website of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, to which the group was inducted in 2003, puts it best, noting that "The Police brought bristling energy and musical sophistication to the new wave movement. They were among the first post-punk success stories, applying the succinct and speedy strictures of that genre to more challenging material that appealed to listeners of all ages and musical persuasions."
Very well said, yet there was very little in the group's mid-'70s genesis that would suggest impending world domination. The band was formed by drummer Stewart Copeland, an American who grew up in Beirut, Lebanon, as the son of a CIA field officer. Copeland roadied and played for prog outfit Curved Air from 1974 to 1976; when punk hit Britain he formed an energetic trio in London and called it the Police. He enlisted Corsican punk guitarist Henri Padovani and a charismatic jazz bassist/singer he'd met in Newcastle, England, in late 1976, Gordon "Sting" Sumner.
Sting—nicknamed for a black-and-yellow jersey he often wore—was a high school teacher who played bass and sang with a Newcastle ensemble called Last Exit that had much more in common with Steely Dan than the Sex Pistols. Copeland sensed great potential in Sting, who combined great bass chops and a highly distinctive vocal tenor with natural stage presence, brooding intensity and a literate lyrical sense.
By mid-1977 and after one indie single ("Fall Out"/"Nothing Achieving"), Padovani was replaced with Summers, a much more accomplished guitarist who'd met Copeland and Sting that spring, when all three were enlisted by Gong's Mike Howlett for a short-lived band called Strontium 90. Summers, a decade older than Copeland and Sting, had an extensive resume that included stints with the Animals, Soft Machine and Neil Sedaka.
The Police weren't really a punk band, but they deliberately flew that flag early on because they were of that time and those circumstances. Their fantastically energetic musical chemistry certainly looked and sounded punk, but they hid their abundant musical chops and lyrical intelligence in plain sight with songs that were short, simple, fast and noisy. Desperate for money and work in their pre-fame days, they all bleached their hair blonde in February 1978 for a Wrigley's chewing gum TV commercial, creating a look that didn't fool "real" punks but nonetheless became a Police trademark.
April 1978 second single "Roxanne"—an angularly infectious ode to a Parisian prostitute—won the Police a contract with A&M Records despite the fact that the group's manager, Copeland's business-savvy elder brother Miles, was the founder and chief of pioneering alt-rock label I.R.S. Records. Miles Copeland III steered his younger brother's band with a no-frills grassroots strategy that had them crisscrossing the U.S. college circuit by van and visiting areas of the world such as India and Argentina that were unaccustomed to hosting touring rock bands. This kind of hard-fought groundwork paid off immeasurably when the hits started coming.
And the hits did quickly start coming. "Roxanne" appeared on November 1978 debut album Outlandos D'Amour, a stripped-down affair that spilled over with a unique combination of stop-start reggae inflections ("Roxanne," "Can't Stand Losing You") and high-speed punk ferocity ("Next To You," "Truth Hits Everyone," "Peanuts"). A tenacious single, "Roxanne" accomplished little at first, but took off on re-release in mid-1979, reaching No. 12 in the U.K. and No. 32 in the United States and bringing the album along with it.
This paved the way to the top of the U.K. charts, which is where the lead single from highly anticipated second album Regatta De Blanc promptly zoomed only months later. "Message In a Bottle," hit number one in September 1979 and further established the Police as a force to be reckoned with. The group toured heavily behind the album, which reached No. 1 in the U.K. and No. 25 in the United States.
Fourth album Ghost in the Machine (1981).
The Police reached superstar status with October 1980 third album Zenyatta Mondatta. In a great example of the band's relentless work ethic, the world tour for the album started on the day they finished recording it (Aug. 9, 1980). A huge worldwide success with half a dozen hit singles ("Don't Stand So Close to Me," "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da," Driven to Tears," "When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around," "Canary in a Coalmine"), it was also the group's last musically stripped-down bass/drums/guitar album. Nonetheless, Zenyatta Mondatta was a major musical achievement, with Sting's ability to play minimal but sharply clever bass lines beneath irresistible vocal melodies at its height; Summers' guitar textures at their most atmospheric and experimental, and Copeland's propulsive polyrhythmic dexterity at its most engaging. Few vestiges of punk remained although the band was more ferocious live than ever (Summers commented much later that none of the band's records really captured the true sound of the Police).
The Police now ruled the post-punk world, but it had taken four years of feverishly nonstop work. Cracks now widened as sheer exhaustion and the fierce alpha-male volatility that was always the other side of the coin of their brotherly love for each other seriously strained the bonds that held them together. A tense atmosphere pervaded sessions for 1981 fourth album Ghost in the Machine on the tiny Caribbean island of Montserrat.
Much of the album—including the title (the first English title for a Police album)—was inspired by Arthur Koestler's brainy 1967 book of the same name, and it was at these sessions that the Police widened their sonic palette with much more extensive use of keyboards and horns (Sting himself played the album's many saxophone parts). These developments, however, weren't especially welcomed by Summers and Copeland, who felt increasingly that they were merely backing up Sting and abandoning what the guitarist called the band's "fantastic raw trio feel."
Despite being notably darker both musically and lyrically, Ghost was nonetheless an enormous worldwide hit, eventually going triple platinum in the United States. Amid all its thick moodiness and foreboding political inflections, it yielded yet another number-one hit with its one upbeat single, the lightheartedly infectious "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic." But the biggest was yet to come.
Fifth and final studio album Synchronicity (1983).
The Police returned to Montserrat in December 1982 to record their fifth album. Sting turned to Koestler's work once again for inspiration, and the band proceeded to record an album with no hint of previous punk and reggae influences. The result, Synchronicity, was a distinctive batch of songs with a sound that was theirs and theirs alone. Released in June 1983, it was a mega-blockbuster hit that lofted the Police to a new pinnacle of worldwide fame.
It was an album of extremes—exotic and accessible; haunting and hummable; darkly chaotic and breezily melodic. Synchronicity contained four hit singles—"Every Breath You Take," "Wrapped Around Your Finger," "King of Pain," and "Synchronicity II," the first of which topped the U.S. singles chart for two months. The album sold 10 million copies and won three Grammy awards. The gargantuan world tour for the album began in Chicago in July 1983 and ended in Melbourne, Australia, in March 1984. On Thursday Aug. 18, 1983, the trio played to 70,000 fans at sold-out Shea Stadium in New York, topping the attendance record set there in 1965 by the Beatles.
And then … nothing. Sting, Summers and Copeland didn't officially disband, but each embarked on various solo efforts without saying anything about the future of the Police. The second half of 1984 and all of 1985 (during which Sting launched his solo career) came and went. The Police then reconvened for three star-studded Amnesty International benefit concerts in June 1986, and entered a recording studio that July for a tense and ultimately abortive attempt at a sixth studio album; the sessions resulted only in different treatments of 1980 hits "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" and "Don't Stand So Close to Me," the latter of which was included on that year's top-selling Every Breath You Take: The Singles compilation. And that was it. The Police were no more.
The first half of the 1990s saw sparse Police activity. Personally if not professionally, all three musicians remained on relatively friendly terms; they performed "Roxanne" and "Message in a Bottle" together at Sting's wedding in August 1992. Four-disc box set Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings, containing every single and album track, appeared in June 1993. A long-awaited Police live album was released in 1995; a double-disc set comprising a Boston club date recording from 1979 and a 1983 Synchronicity concert in Atlanta.
2008 reunion tour poster.
The Police briefly reunited once again—in public, this time—for their March 10, 2003, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, performing "Roxanne," "Message in a Bottle" and "Every Breath You Take." Although they professed to generally enjoying the experience, each musician subsequently continued to express disdain for a more substantial Police reunion; Sting's solo career was well established by then, and Summers and Copeland had long since moved on to solo careers of their own.
Four years later, the Police surprised everyone once again by announcing that the reunion that would supposedly never take place was in fact imminent. Their paths had crossed on highly friendly terms midway through the decade, with the 2006 release of Summers' autobiography and Copeland's documentary film about the band. Sting contacted his old band mates and insisted that the time was right.
The Police announced in January 2007 that they would open the 49th Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles, which they did on Feb. 11, 2007, with a performance of "Roxanne" and an emphatic intro by Sting in which he declared, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are the Police and we're back." Speculation had abounded since the January announcement that planning for a massive world tour was underway, confirmed the day after the Grammy telecast at a press conference/rehearsal at the Whisky a Go Go.
The marathon tour celebrating the band's 30th anniversary got under way in Vancouver, Canada, on March 20, 2007, and was an immediate sensation. Original guitarist Padovani joined them onstage in Paris on Sept. 29 for a rendition of "Next to You" during the encore. Speculation also abounded that a new album was in the works, but the Police announced in February 2008 that they would once again disband when the tour was completed. The final show took place Aug. 7, 2008, at Madison Square Garden in New York; the 18-month odyssey had sold 3.7 million tickets and took in $350 million, making it the third-highest grossing tour of all time. A live album and DVD documenting the reunion tour, Certifiable: Live in Buenos Aires, was released in November 2008.

Makaronniki Comments
- Sebastiaan MoscowEven though it's a bit out of the way when you are exploring the city by foot it is worth the detour. The restaurant has a great atmosphere very nice food and is very spacious. And contrary to the opening hours listed here; it was open until 02 00 when we were there (June 10) but that might be only on weekends.

Experiences of pregnancy and motherhood among teenage mothers in a suburb of Accra, Ghana: a qualitative study
Authors Gyesaw NYK, Ankomah A
Published Date November 2013 Volume 2013:5 Pages 773—780

Background: The proportion of teenage girls who are mothers or who are currently pregnant in sub-Saharan African countries is staggering. There are many studies regarding teenage pregnancy, unsafe abortions, and family planning among teenagers, but very little is known about what happens after pregnancy, ie, the experience of teenage motherhood. Several studies in Ghana have identified the determinants of early sexual activity, contraception, and unsafe abortion, with teenage motherhood only mentioned in passing. Few studies have explored the experiences of adolescent mothers in detail with regard to their pregnancy and childbirth. This qualitative study explores the experiences of adolescent mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, and care of their newborns.
Methods: This qualitative study was based on data from focus group discussions and indepth interviews with teenage mothers in a suburb in Accra. Participants were recruited from health facilities as well as by snowball sampling.
Results: Some of the participants became pregnant as a result of transactional sex in order to meet their basic needs, while others became pregnant as a result of sexual violence and exploitation. A few others wanted to become pregnant to command respect from people in society. In nearly all cases, parents and guardians of the adolescent mothers were upset in the initial stages when they heard the news of the pregnancy. One key finding, quite different from in other societies, was how often teenage pregnancies are eventually accepted, by both the young women and their families. Also observed was a rarity of willingness to resort to induced abortion.
Conclusion: Special programs should be initiated by the government and the various responsible departments to address ignorance on sexual matters, and the challenges and risks associated with pregnancy and parenting by adolescents. Parenting techniques should be taught in sex education programs.
Keywords: teenage pregnancy, teenage motherhood, adolescents, unmarried teenagers, focus group discussions, Ghana

The Nedbank Foundation has announced the start of the 'My Future, My Career' programme, to take place from 15th May to 19th June 2011. The project is aimed at providing career guidance to previously disadvantaged learners in Grades 9 – 12.
With Nedbank as the core sponsor, the initiative is run with various partners including the Department of Education, Primestars Marketing, the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA), The Gauteng City Region Academy (GCRA), JD Group and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Running for the second year, the programme uses Sterkinekor cinemas to show pre-recorded career guidance episodes, where various experts who work in different fields talk about their chosen career paths. The programme for 2011 will cover a number of career streams such as: Banking and Finance, Accounting, Health Services, Education, Law, Criminal Justice, Entrepreneurship, Tourism and Hospitality, Information Technology, Communications, Mining and Engineering, and Construction.
"We're excited to once again provide necessary career guidance to previously disadvantaged learners. It's critical to ensure that learners are equipped with the necessary information to make informed decisions when choosing careers. We believe that exposing a number of career options to learners will go a long way in creating a fertile ground for critical areas which are currently experiencing skills shortage," said Kone Gugushe, Head of Nedbank Foundation.
Richard Chauke, Director at JDG Trading, said "In sponsoring "My Future My Career", we believe that this initiative provides the learners with an opportunity to gain insight into a wide range of careers and that programmes like this can positively shape the future of our country."
This year, the programmes will be screened during vacant slots across Sterkinekor cinemas in KwaZulu Natal, Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Free State, North West and the Western Cape. The career guidance will take the form of an interview where two young presenters interview professionals who specialise in various fields about the nature of the work. The specialists will also provide insights on the requirements for success in their respective fields. Each episode will last an hour and afterwards, each learner will be supplied with a handbook to take home for future reference.

The premise of the Back to Mine series of dance mix albums is truly innovative. Under the direction of the country's premier DJ organization, DMC USA, Back to Mine gives featured electronic artists the chance to collect the records whatever they might be that they would play for their friends after a night out on the town. You know the inevitable scenario: You've been out clubbing all night and decide to chill for a bit with your buds. Only this time around, your buds include British techno legends Orbital.
Like other featured Back to Mine contributors such as Groove Armada, Fila Brazilia and Everything But the Girl, Orbital's brother team of Phil and Paul Hartnoll refrain from stacking the list full of their own tracks. Instead, they front 19 quirky, moody cuts that you aren't apt to hear in a regular DJ compilation. There are the obligatory down-tempo reggae tracks for late-night relaxing, but there's also obscure material like Lee Perry and the Upsetters' deeply political "Justice to the People" and the Selecter's outstanding trombone-centric, ska-ish "Celebrate the Bullet." There are cuts to make you laugh, like Jethro Tull's plucky folk throwback "Living in the Past" and Gert Wilden and Orchestra's "Schulmaedchen Report" (with its German polka-a-go-go melodies and brash classical instrumentation, the latter was the theme for a '70s German soft-core-porn TV series). And there are tracks to make you dance, should you feel the impulse, such as the rare dub-flavored J. Saul Kane remix of Eon's early techno anthem "Spice," as well as recent experimental electronic material from Plaid ("New Bass Hippo") and one previously unreleased Orbital track ("Ska'd for Life").
While the brothers Hartnoll, known for their blistering live techno sets, illustrate with abrupt song changes that they can't DJ to save their lives, their version of Back to Mine ranks up there with the best dance and electronic music compilations in recent memory.

The Chattanooga Lookouts made the most of two-out opportunities Saturday night in a 6-3 win over Birmingham at AT&T Field.
Chattanooga's first five runs scored with two outs. Bobby Coyle's double to left field in the fifth inning brought in Walter Ibarra and Darnell Sweeney to put the Lookouts ahead to stay at 3-2, and they made it 5-2 in the seventh inning when O'Koyea Dickson singled to center to score J.C. Boscan and Sweeney.
The Lookouts improved to 16-25 in the Southern League's second half and are within 5 1/2 games of the division-leading Barons (22-20). A sellout crowd of 6,371 on Used Car Night attended Saturday's game.
Chattanooga and Birmingham will play again today at 2:15.

desert rain cafe, selles, arizona
- s
- soupkitten Jun 19, 2009 06:38 PM
i heard about this cafe on npr and i was wondering if anybody has visited. thanks!
The Desert Rain Cafe in Sells, Ariz., has been open for two months. During that time, the café, which is run by the Tohono O'Odham Nation, has already reached one of its owner's goals: to bring back local culture and help slow a health epidemic by serving tasty food.
I heard this too on the way home from work tonight. I would love to try it. It sounded wonderful.
Hot tip: If you happen to be going to Kitt Peak National Observatory, Desert Rain Cafe is another 20 miles down the highway that takes you from Tucson to Kitt Peak.
The Desert Rain cafe is one of the best places i have gone to eat. The food is all natural and healthy. My favorite dish is the Ha:l enchiladas but he Prickly Pear Chicken sandwich is also excellent. I also recommend starting off with the Desert Hummus.
I eat at this Cafe once a week and have yet to get bored with it. Plus it's a non-profit organization : http://www.tocaonline.org/Home.html
I'm a regular at Desert Rain because I work in Sells. They've added a few new items to the menu in the last few weeks, including an incredible Wednesday special of pork ribs with a light prickly pear glaze, corn bread, and tepary beans. I love it.
On other days, my favorites include the chia berry slushie, the agave-sweetened lemonade, the new chicken quesadillas, and those great squash enchiladas. It's also just nice to be able to have tepary beans without heating up my own kitchen.
The Desert Rain Cafe in Sells is well worth the drive out from Tucson...through the beautiful Sonoran desert no less and only a few minutes from the spectacular Tohono O'odham Museum and Cultural Center. The food at the Cafe is an outstanding treat of desert foods, many grown by the non-profit, Tohono O'odham Community Action that runs the cafe. It will be celebrating one year since opening and is going strong. A gem in the desert where you can enjoy real Native foods that are locally grown and prepared. Excellent. Five Big Stars!
A friend just came back from a camping trip raving about the food here. His breakfast was so good, he told me, that he had to hang around for lunch. He particularly mentioned the prickly pear glazed pork ribs. I'm glad this is already on the Chowhound radar screen, but I wish it were closer to my end of the state.
The restaurant has a website now, so you can check out the menu.

For the answer to this, you must visit the great Bandini at the labor of love that is "The Great Taco Hunt" blog.
I am a true mexican food lover and is you are looking for great tacos and burritos go to yucas on hillhurst, it is located in a little shack and is really authentic and delicious! I love the carne asada and they have great salsas! Another great mexican place is Mexico city located on the same block. Also, i have never been, but have heard a lot of great reviews and talk about Titos tacos.
re: zoememel
Yucas does some things very well. Mexico City, a big thumbs down. Titos is great, if you want a hard shell american taco, not authentic at all. Use Bandinis blog above, tacohunt.blogspot.com it is a great resource!
re: Kaisgraham
You know, that's a thought. I don't like their overstuffed burritos -- the opposite of the sublime variety served at Yuca's -- but I've never tried the tacos at El Tepeyac. I'll do that with my fingers crossed.
re: JEN10
while not knock your socks off, it's close to redondo....this spot in torrance isn't bad....

re: JEN10
On the corner of Artesia and Hawthorne is a place called Mi Casita. I love their shrimp tacos. I do not eat meat but they have an extensive taco menu. The salsa is delicious too! Oh and the refried beans. Not much on decor but the servers are very sweet and the kitchen very flexible and it's a good value.
re: a_and_w
If you are responding to me, I am in Palos Verdes. I will make it a point to hit up the suggestions. I usually just end up making tacos evey so often, but would like to indulge without the cooking occasionly.
re: dkrocks
I like Loteria, but only go there if I am in the neighborhood. It is WAY overpriced. I would not say tacos are their specialty, though I do like their ck mole ones. Tend to get their enchiladas or chilaques when I go.
I am satisfied to stay local to LF/SL with Yuca's, Casa Diaz and taco truck on Fletcher between Riverside and San Fernando (the best of the 3). When I worked on the East Side my go to taco place was Los Cinco Puntos, now work near USC and go to La Taquiza.
What local are you looking for? Coupled with "what meat are you looking for"? query
below me...
Depends on what kind of meat you like. But if I had to pick just one place, my vote goes to the soft borrego tacos, and crispy chicken tacos dorados, at My Taco in Highland Park.

November 25, 2014
A health advisory has been issued for Lancaster County this weekend because of high levels of smoke from agricultural burning in the Midwest.
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department issued the advisory Friday for those with asthma, lung disease and other respiratory conditions or heart disease. Individuals with those conditions should stay indoors and avoid strenuous physical activity if the air becomes smoky.
Chris Schroeder, air quality program supervisor for the department, says people may be exposed to smoke this weekend from extensive burning in the Midwest, especially the Flint Hills area of Kansas. There may be winds from the south.
Officials say most people's health will not be affected.

DEFINITION of 'U.S. Dollar Index - USDX'
A measure of the value of the U.S. dollar relative to majority of its most significant trading partners. This index is similar to other trade-weighted indexes, which also use the exchange rates from the same major currencies.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'U.S. Dollar Index - USDX'
Currently, this index is calculated by factoring in the exchange rates of six major world currencies: the euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, British pound, Swedish krona and Swiss franc. This index started in 1973 with a base of 100 and is relative to this base. This means that a value of 120 would suggest that the U.S. dollar experienced a 20% increase in value over the time period.
It is possible to incorporate futures or options strategies on the USDX. These financial products currently trade on the New York Board Of Trade.

- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Large pinch of fine fleur de sel* plus additional for assembly
- 1 1/2 pounds bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Stir sugar, 1/4 cup water, and corn syrup in deep medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium; cover pan and cook 4 minutes. Uncover; increase heat to high. Boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber, occasionally brushing down pan sides with wet pastry brush, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cream (mixture will bubble). Whisk in butter, then crème fraîche, lemon juice, and pinch of fleur de sel. Cool completely. DO AHEAD Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
Place chocolate in large bowl. Bring cream to simmer in medium saucepan. Pour cream over chocolate; let soften 1 minute. Whisk until chocolate is smooth. Cool, then cover and chill overnight. DO AHEAD Ganache can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled. Bring to room temperature before using.
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter two 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 2-inch-high sides. Line bottom of each with parchment paper; butter paper and dust pan with flour.
Sift sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into large bowl. Add milk, eggs, and melted butter. Using electric mixer, beat at low speed until blended. Increase speed and beat 2 minutes. Stir 1 cup hot water and espresso powder in small bowl to dissolve. Add to batter; beat until blended (batter will be thin). Divide batter between pans (about 3 cups each).
Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 32 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks 10 minutes. Cut around cakes; turn out onto racks. Peel off parchment and cool completely.
Using long serrated knife, cut each cake horizontally in half. Place 1 layer on platter; spread with 1/2 cup room-temperature ganache. Spoon 3/4 cup ganache into pastry bag fitted with 1/4-inch plain round tip. Pipe ring of ganache around edge of layer. Spread 1/4 cup room-temperature caramel filling evenly inside ring. Sprinkle caramel with large pinch of fleur de sel, then 1 tablespoon almonds. Top with second cake layer, ganache, ganache ring, caramel filling, fleur de sel, and almonds. Repeat with third cake layer. Top with fourth cake layer, cut side down. Spread remaining ganache over top and sides of cake. Press remaining almonds onto sides. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover with cake dome and chill. Let cake stand at room temperature 1 hour.

Heroic by Nature
Émile Zola and the literary representation of art.
Jan 20, 2014, Vol. 19, No. 18 • By EDWIN M. YODER JR.
Zola's intervention in this painterly revolution would be less well-remembered today had he not amplified his views in two novels, Thérèse Raquin (1867) and L'Oeuvre (The Masterpiece, 1886). The first is a morbid tale of adultery and murder in which the role of art is minor but crucial. Two scheming lovers plot to drown the woman's husband on a rural outing, but their victim's ghost spoils their sexual idyll. Every time the man, who is an artist, tries to revive his modest skills, the resulting portraits, regardless of period or mode, favor the murder victim. Even their bedroom, scene of the lovers' anticipated trysts, is haunted by a crude portrait of the victim. They imagine that his mouldering corpse lies between them in their bed and finally end their insomnia by mutual suicide.
In the later and longer tale, a young and ambitious painter, Claude Lantier, returns to his Parisian atelier on a stormy night to find a young woman huddled in his doorway. She spends the night there (modestly concealed) and then disappears. But the reader knows that Claude hasn't seen the last of her. She soon returns to become, by stages, his model, his mistress, and finally his wife. She is exactly the model he needs to complete an ambitious nude for the Salon. But the painting for which she models, the central feature of this magnum opus, becomes an obsession he cannot finish. He hangs himself in despair.
T. S. Eliot, wearing his hat as master critic, once ventured the controversial view that Shakespeare had failed, artistically, in what he meant to do in Hamlet. The problem, Eliot wrote, coining a jawbreaker term, was that the drama lacked an "objective correlative," a persuasive metaphor, for Hamlet's alleged irresolution—"in other words, a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events which shall be the formula of that particular emotion." Eliot's diagnosis remains controversial, to say the least; but it bequeathed an enduring term for the failure to render an idea or emotion successfully as art.
When I set out to reread Zola's two novels of art, I expected to find in them an "objective correlative" of the supportive views he had expressed about the "new painting." Zola does venture an overarching metaphor for the artist's struggle with his subject—the struggle of the biblical patriarch Jacob, who endured a night-long wrestling match with an angel who left him with a blessing, a new name, and a damaged hip. The episode is a metaphor in Zola's parables of art, made familiar also by Delacroix's mural in the Paris church of Saint-Sulpice. But the angels that Zola's artists wrestle with both turn out to be angels of obsession and death: In Claude Lantier's tale, the gigantic nude whose pursuit on canvas defies him drives him to madness and suicide, less a denouement than a deus ex machina.
Was Zola, the journalist and pamphleteer-turned-novelist, trying to tell his readers something about the bewitching fatality of art? Or nudity? It is fair to ask that a novelist's parables of craft clearly transmit a truth about the craft in question, but there is no law that they must; and Zola's art novels do not. We still don't know why his artists, unlike the young polemicist he himself had been a few years earlier, are ultimately defeated by the challenge of painting and driven to kill themselves.
Edwin M. Yoder Jr. is the author, most recently, of Vacancy: A Judicial Misadventure.

Join Lucas Foglia for a signing of his book A Natural Order.
In the summer of 2006, Lucas Foglia set out to photograph a network of people who had left cities and suburbs to live off the grid in the rural southeastern United States. Many were motivated by environmental concerns, others were driven by religious beliefs or predictions of economic collapse. While everyone he photographed was working to maintain self-sufficiency, none lived in complete isolation from the mainstream. Instead, they chose which parts of the modern world to embrace and which to leave behind. The body of work, made over a five-year period, is gathered together in the artist's first book, A Natural Order—a stunning collection that explores a human relationship with wilderness and the persistent libertarianism of the American psyche. Foglia's photographs, at once iconic and intimate, provoke us to take a candid look at individuals whose chosen lifestyles seem both exotic and unnervingly close to home.
Please note that due to professional obligations, photographer's book signing dates may change without notification. Limit of two signed copies per customer. Pre-orders and reserve orders are not guaranteed but every effort is made to fulfill orders. Books must be purchased from the ICP Store. If purchased before date of event, please bring your receipt. For more information, call 212.857.9725.
Free Friday night programs in the Museum are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn.


text: Obama, Erdogan Want Middle East Peace Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 18 Nov 2012 post a comment As Israel defends herself from Hamas' rockets, Obama and Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan are suddenly worried about the Middle East peace process. According to a White House spokesperson, when Obama and Erdogan spoke on Friday, "The two leaders shared their concerns about the dangers to the civilian populations on both sides and expressed their common desire to see an end to the violence." The White House remained technically tied to their earlier statements blaming Hamas for escalating the violence, and Erdogan remained faithful in his support of Hamas. But both men "agreed that the continued spiral of violence jeopardizes prospects for a durable, lasting peace in the region."

You've probably known of a business that, for whatever reason, had a reputation for bad service, or sold a product that didn't meet your expectations.
Maybe you've noticed a place like that with a sign outside that says "under new management." It's their way of saying they're turning things around to offer the very best.
Well, I am pleased to say that six of our schools in Shelby County that, for whatever reason, haven't met our expectations will make the changes they need to offer our kids a world-class education in Memphis.
These six schools will join the 16 other Memphis schools that are part of the Achievement School District in the upcoming 2014-15 school year. Let's talk about what that means.
Each school in Tennessee is measured each year by its ability to improve student performance over the year before. We measure how well our students perform through a variety of assessments.
The Achievement School District was created to take the bottom 5 percent of schools in Tennessee and invites school operators with proven success to turn those schools around. The district sets high expectations for these new ASD schools: to perform among the top 25 percent in the state in five years.
It's for good reason. A seat in a quality school makes all the difference in a child's future. Any job that provides any standard of living these days requires some form of college degree. We have to make sure our children are ready to meet that challenge.
We know that students in quality schools, that top 25 percent, perform as if they'd had 86 extra days of reading and 72 more days of math instruction. They are ready to meet the challenges they will face after school.
When we talk about the bottom 5 percent of schools, we're talking about schools that consistently don't meet our expectations and don't prepare our students for the challenges they will face. While they may be home to many dedicated teachers, and the surrounding community does all it can to turn around the school, something still isn't working in these schools.
Here in Memphis, those schools account for 25,000 students, and 1 in 3 students aren't doing reading and math on grade level. Our kids need us to do better.
This is where the Achievement School District comes in. The district both operates schools and matches others with high-quality local and national organizations with proven success, many of them charter schools.
Before a school joins, the district actively engages parents, teachers and members of the community before establishing new management in a neighborhood school.
After months of that kind of engagement last year, the ASD has announced new operators in six Memphis schools: Aspire Public Schools at Coleman Elementary, Promise Academy at Spring Hill Elementary, Freedom Prep Academy at Westwood Elementary, Frayser Community Schools at Frayser High School and Green Dot Public Schools at Fairley High School. The district will also open a new KIPP Academy for sixth-graders.
If you have children in these schools, you can expect dramatic improvement. Take Freedom Prep for example. The new operator of Westwood Elementary currently serves a 100 percent minority population, 86 percent of which qualify for free and reduced lunch.
In 2012, the school was the only school in the Memphis City Schools district to be honored with "Reward School" status by the state for academic proficiency and growth. They did it by expecting the very best of their students, with double blocks of math and reading, an extended school year and mandatory tutoring. That's the kind of education we should expect for our kids in every school!
With schools like Freedom Prep, the Achievement School District is giving our kids the opportunities they deserve.
If your child is zoned for one of these schools I've mentioned, or you think your child's school isn't meeting your expectations, I urge you to learn about your options. Every student zoned to a school in the bottom 5 percent is automatically eligible for the ASD.
With more schools doing everything they can to offer our kids the very best, you have choices, choices that could make a difference in your child's future.

PITTSBURGH—Francisco Liriano doesn't like to think about what might have been. At the moment, the present is so sweet there's no use focusing on the past.
The veteran left-hander's renaissance hit a new high in Pittsburgh's 5-0 win over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night.
Liriano (9-3) scattered four hits over seven innings, striking out six and walking one to lower his ERA to a scant 2.00 as the Pirates snapped a four-game losing streak. The victory capped a remarkable first half for the former All-Star whose career hasn't been the same since reconstructive elbow surgery six years ago. At last, it seems, at age 29 he is all the way back.
Not that he wants to talk about it.
"I don't think about '06 at all," Liriano said. "I just try to learn how to pitch, how to move on."
That includes trying to stay focused during a lengthy rain delay of nearly three hours. When Liriano finally took the mound at soggy PNC Park just before 10 p.m., he didn't waste time. Attacking the strike zone relentlessly, Liriano kept the AL West-leading A's off-balance all night.
"He set the tone, he dominated," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "He was just on top of his game."
And the Pirates didn't let it go to waste.
Pedro Alvarez went 2 for 4 and drove in two runs for Pittsburgh. Andrew McCutchen, Starling Marte and Jose Tabata also had two hits each as the Pirates beat Oakland for the first time.
Pittsburgh came in 0-11 against the A's since interleague play began in 1997, but broke loose against Tommy Milone (8-8). The Pirates managed just six runs total during a four-game slide that dropped them behind St. Louis in the battle for first in the NL Central but nearly matched that total on a night they went 5 for 9 with runners in scoring position, heady territory for a team that came in hitting just .226 with runners on second or third this season.
"I think we did a pretty good job of consistently pressing them and attacking them," Alvarez said.
A little help is all baseball's top pitching staff needs these days. Pittsburgh's 13th shutout lowered its team ERA to 3.09, easily the best in baseball. Liriano's performance marked the 24th time in 25 games a starter has allowed three earned runs or fewer.
"I'm just trying to learn how to go out there every fifth day and make pitches," Liriano said.
He made enough to cool off the surging A's. Oakland had won 10 of 13 to vault over Texas and into the lead in the AL West but Milone struggled with his command.
The left-hander was coming off a season-high 8 1-3 innings of work in a win over Kansas City last week. He didn't make it out of the third inning as Pittsburgh's offense showed signs of life.
Marte doubled leading off the third, and Tabata followed with an RBI double. McCutchen drove Tabata home with a single, and Alvarez followed two batters later with a single to center that scored McCutchen.
That was enough for Milone, who needed 80 pitches to get through 2 2-3 innings.
"They were doing a good job of putting the ball in play and falling," Milone said. "And even though they weren't hit very hard, you always give yourself a chance when you put the ball in play and that's what they were doing."
He was replaced by Pat Neshek, who made his first appearance since June 29. The rust showed. Pittsburgh tacked on two more runs in the fourth to give Liriano all the cushion he would need to cap a remarkable first half for one of baseball's best comeback stories.
"I like the way I've been pitching and the way we've all been playing," Liriano said. "Right now, we're in good position to make the playoffs and we want to continue playing like that in the second half and hopefully make the postseason."

All Things Pivotal Episode #7 – A Look at 12-Factor Apps
As we move into an increasingly cloud-based application landscape, key design patterns need to be applied to best take advantage of the capabilities that cloud architectures offer. Fortunately, a Platform as a Service like Pivotal CF wraps up a lot of the lessons learned into a method of software deployment that is reliable, scalable and MUCH easier than prior methods. In this episode, Simon takes a tour through the concept of the 12-Factor App and why it might be the right approach for you to take with your software design.
An Easier Way To Deploy Cassandra Clusters

Challenges With Randomness In Multi-tenant Linux Container Platforms
Using Linux Containers for tenant isolation rather than OS isolation from VMs or non-virtualized hosts exposes unique challenges. The Cloud Foundry team has worked on problems like that this quite a few times over the last few years. Recently we have been working on what we believe to be an unsolved isolation issue in Linux Containers for the /dev/random device. This new issue came to light after investigating reports of poor user experience on the mailing lists and attendees of Pivotal's Cloud Platform road show. Sharing /dev/random is a challenge for any Linux container technology including Cloud Foundry Garden, Docker, LXC, etc. This post outlines how the problem occurs, as well as possible paths the community can choose to fix it. We are hopeful that we can work with the Linux community to help us weigh the various trade-offs and improve the experience and isolation for running multi-tenant Linux Containers.

The rapper known as DMX will have to spend at least an extra week in an Arizona state prison for failing a drug test. Arizona Department of Corrections spokesman Barrett Marson confirmed DMX was due to be released from a prison on Wednesday. His new release date is July 19. (Wall Street Journal)
Additional reporting suggests X may have possessed drugs while behind bars.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, DMX broke SEVERAL rules in Yuma state prison since January — including drug possession, failing or refusing a drug test, smoking when he wasn't supposed to, being disrespectful, disruptive, and disorderly … the list goes on. A rep for the prison wouldn't specify what kind of drug officials found on the rapper. (TMZ)
Last month, X's jail release was pushed from early to mid-July.
Following his release, X plans to end his four-year hiatus in music with his ninth and newest album this summer. Speaking on the new project, X, 40, says, "Things will be different this time." Along with music, DMX will also be directing his attention on his "domestic dreams", like uniting his 10 children and creating a relationship with his mother. (Hip Hop Wired)
X was sentenced to a year behind bars in an Arizona courtroom around mid-December.
DMX, who was arrested for a probation violation in Arizona last month, was sentenced to a year in prison on the charge this morning — his sixth stint behind bars in the state. The MC said late last month that a sip of alcohol during one of his concerts led to his arrest on multiple charges, including probation violation, failure to submit to drug testing and several drug charges.
