EXCO Resources, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2011 Results
EXCO Resources, Inc. (NYSE: XCO) ("EXCO") today announced third quarter results for 2011.
- Adjusted net earnings, a non-GAAP measure adjusting for non-cash gains and losses from derivative financial instruments (derivatives), gains on divestitures, asset impairments, costs incurred in connection with our special committee's review of strategic alternatives and items typically not included by securities analysts in published estimates, were $0.15 per share for the third quarter 2011 compared to $0.18 per share for the second quarter 2011 and $0.16 per share for the third quarter 2010.
- GAAP results were net income of $0.39 per diluted share for the third quarter 2011 compared with net income of $0.38 per diluted share for the second quarter 2011. Net income was $0.30 per diluted share for the third quarter 2010.
- Oil and natural gas production was 50 Bcfe, or 540 Mmcfe per day, for the third quarter 2011 compared with 46 Bcfe, or 500 Mmcfe per day, in the second quarter 2011. Production was 29 Bcfe, or 320 Mmcfe per day, in the third quarter 2010. The increase in the year-over-year quarterly production is primarily attributable to increased production volumes in our Haynesville/Bossier shale play, where third quarter 2011 volumes were 37 Bcfe, or 401 Mmcfe per day, compared with 16 Bcfe, or 173 Mmcfe per day, in the third quarter 2010, an increase of 132%. The increased production during the third quarter was reduced by approximately 44 Mmcf per day as a result of a May 28, 2011 incident at a TGGT treating facility which resulted in curtailment of certain North Louisiana production volumes. We expect this level of curtailment of certain volumes to continue through the end of the fourth quarter 2011.
- Oil and natural gas revenues for the third quarter 2011 were $207 million, unchanged from the second quarter 2011. The third quarter 2010 oil and natural gas revenues were $131 million. The higher year-over-year revenues reflect the favorable impacts of our increased production which was partially offset by a 6% decrease in the average sales price per Mcfe. When the impacts of cash settlements from our oil and natural gas derivatives are considered, oil and natural gas revenues were $240 million for the third quarter 2011 compared with $230 million for the second quarter 2011 and $174 million for the third quarter 2010.
- Oil and natural gas operating costs for the third quarter 2011 were $0.42 per Mcfe compared to $0.75 per Mcfe for the third quarter 2010. This 44% reduction in per unit operating costs reflects the significant impact of increased volumes from our horizontal Haynesville/Bossier shale wells, which produce high volumes of natural gas and have low per well operating expenses.
- Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization and other non-cash income and expense items (adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure) for the third quarter 2011 was $163 million compared with $116 million in the third quarter 2010.
- Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital, a non-GAAP measure, was $151 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with $108 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 40%.
Douglas H. Miller, EXCO's Chief Executive Officer commented "Our results for the third quarter 2011 reflect our focus on well performance, capital and operating costs. Production grew 69% from the prior year despite curtailments, and we remain on track to exit 2011 at nearly 600 Mmcfe per day of net production. Our direct operating costs during the quarter decreased by 44% from the prior year to $0.42 per Mcfe, reflecting the high quality of our asset base. In DeSoto Parish, we continue to refine our production techniques and have successfully reduced our drilling and completion costs during the year. In our Shelby area, we are focused on further delineation in both the Haynesville and Bossier shales where recent IP's were in excess of 27 Mmcf per day. Our drilling days have shown a marked improvement during the year resulting in reduced drilling costs. Results in our Marcellus acreage during the quarter have also seen improvements. During the third quarter, we turned 11 Marcellus wells to sales with an average IP rate of 5.8 Mmcf per day. As we begin our development program in the Marcellus, we are realizing reductions in our average well cost and expect further reductions as a result of drilling and completion efficiencies and building our water infrastructure. We are currently in the process of finalizing our 2012 capital budget. Although the low cost, high volume nature of our operations results in a satisfactory rate of return in the current natural gas environment, we are evaluating the appropriate level of our 2012 development activities."

When I see Athens, GA in a music context I automatically get excited. Pavlovian.
they hit the nail on the head with Air, No Age and APTBS today...
I need to find a way to get the No Age EP. I no longer have a record player, so it doesn't really make sense to buy it unless I just wanted to have to listen to at the school library or something.
the grizzly bear live video for Foreground that they posted is incredible.
last couple times they did this feature they added songs throughout the week.
I'm no metal fan, but how the fuck do you give Baroness' new album (which I've been told has been hailed as one of the year's best metal records by a number of publications) an 8.5 but refuse to give it the Best New Music moniker? WTF.
Best new music is something that the whole staff tends to agree on. That reviewer wanted an 8.5. It deserves best new music though, and it might just get one tomorrow morning when they update the site. It happened with the Girls album recently.
Radiohead's world domination continues. According to a story in the Liverpool Daily Post, a race horse named Radiohead will compete in this weekend's Breeders' Cup Juvenile race at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.
No word if the steed jams out to that Thom Yorke song "Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses" or if he's somehow offended by it.
In a strange twist, a horse named Wilko won the very same race five years ago. And there's apparently a similarity between the two gallopers, according to horse agent (!) Andy Smith, who said, "[Radiohead] reminds me of Wilko-- a feisty, well-built sort who should do well out in America."
P4k editors, hire this guy.

I figured that this should go here...
It is now 12 years since 'Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space' made a profound impact in the summer of 1997, both critically and commercially, with its psychedelic soundscapes and heart-rending lyrics. It has influenced a whole range of musicians ever since. It was NME's album of the year for 1997 and reached No.4 in the official charts. Originally packaged as a giant pill offering a written prescription, the concept was creatively inspired reflecting the depth of emotion and trauma laid bare on this truly remarkable work.
The album will be re-released with new artwork on special limited edition formats with 2 CDs of bonus content. These bonus tracks give a valuable insight into the artist's work-in-progress – and include demos, instrumental versions, and session mixes – and highlight an aim for perfection prior to recording the definitive version.
ATP Recordings / Spaceman are pleased to be able to offer the very limited collectors edition. This includes 12 x 3" Mini CD's of the complete full album track-by-track, a homage to the original release. This will be accompanied by 2 bonus discs (as per tracklisting below). For those who don't want to open the blister pack, each unit will come with a code to download the original album.
Limited to just 1000 units, each collectors edition will come with a prescription numbered out of 1000 and signed by Jason Pierce.
The Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space Collectors edition will be sent out from the UK on December 16th. If you do not wish to pay postage and handling, there will be an option to pick it up from the Barbican show on December 16th or 17th.
Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space Collectors edition is available for £125.00 + postage and handling.
*based upon tedious fact checking.
Best packaging in history? Maybe. Holy hell I want that.

CUNA: CFPB Should Exempt CUs from Some Regulations (Misc News: June 5, 2012)
CUNA is calling on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to exempt credit unions from rulemakings because credit unions share the bureau's objective of protecting consumers from unscrupulous service providers.
In a comment letter issued Friday, CUNA Deputy General Counsel Mary Dunn said CUNA would also like the CFPB to address remittance transfer, overdraft protection and mortgage-related regulations in its efforts to streamline financial rules.
"While the CFPB has been tasked by Congress to implement 18 laws and assume other duties, the agency was also given broad authority to minimize the compliance burdens of its rules on entities such as credit unions," Dunn wrote in the letter. "Almost all who filed comments on streamlining in response to the initial request, including consumer groups, non-profits, and financial institutions, urged the CFPB to streamline its regulations to provide relief to financial institutions and consumers."
"…Credit unions are more concerned than ever that the agency will impose an endless range of new requirements and data collection responsibilities on the most scrupulous service providers in the marketplace: credit unions," she added.
The letter also calls for CFPB to minimize reporting requirements under the Dodd-Frank Consumer Protection and Wall Street Reform Act, including gender, minority status, credit scores and points and fees, for small institutions. CUNA requested that CFPB provide better estimates of the costs and resources associated with any new rules and that financial institutions be given sufficient time to comply with any regulatory changes.

Most journalists failed to anticipate his role in the Senate, focusing instead on a distracting controversy about the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
When Rand Paul emerged on the national scene in 2010, staffers at places like The Cato Institute and Reason backed him more enthusiastically than any other U.S. Senate candidate. Like all Tea Party-affiliated pols, Paul favored smaller government, tax cuts, and free-market reforms. Unlike Marco Rubio or Christine O'Donnell, the Kentucky Republican was expected by right-leaning libertarians to oppose the bipartisan excesses of the post-9/11 era. As Radley Balko argued that spring, Paul would be better on civil liberties than President Obama and most Senate Democrats. Few non-libertarians believed him, as evidenced by the skeptical replies of progressive writers Adam Serwer* and Jamelle Bouie, savvy civil libertarians in their own right.
Three years later, it is beyond dispute: Paul is a leading opponent of civil-liberties abrogations, executive-power excesses, and militarism. Safe to say, after last week's filibuster, that his stands on those issues are the most visible and consequential that he has taken in the Senate. Even prior to that 13-hour spectacle, Paul mounted high-profile, sometimes lonely efforts to reform the Patriot Act; formally end the president's authorization to wage war in Iraq; reform drug laws; prevent indefinite detention; extend Fourth Amendment protections to electronic communications; require warrants for drone surveillance; reform overzealous TSA screening procedures; and stop an anti-piracy bill that would have onerously infringed on free expression online.
He's also opposed calls to wage war in Libya, Syria, and Iran.
In light of this record, the establishment press ought to reflect upon the fact that its 2010 coverage utterly failed to anticipate the most important consequences of electing Paul to the Senate. Go back, as I just did, and read every story The New York Times published about him. Its coverage was representative: The paper paid little attention to his anti-war, pro-civil liberties, pro-checks-and-balances proclivities, though those issues were certain to loom large between 2010 and 2016; it paid some attention to the political import of a possible victory by a Tea Party Republican; and it focused intensely on Paul's position on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, legislation that passed when he was two years old and certainly won't be revisited in the foreseeable future. (Another landmark law from that era, the Voting Rights Act, does face a serious challenge in the Supreme Court right now.)
Revisiting this coverage is important because it helps to clarify the flaws in the way that many journalists cover libertarianism generally -- even if you think, as I do, that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was extremely important legislation that ought to be celebrated by all Americans for the good it did; and that, if better executed, covering Paul's position on the subject would have been legitimate. Unfortunately, the actual coverage unfolded in a way that left the audience ill-informed.
The particulars won't surprise anyone familiar with the template the political press uses to cover libertarians. As Chris Beam wrote in 2010, "For all the talk about casting off government shackles, libertarianism is still considered the crazy uncle of American politics: loud and cocky and occasionally profound but always a bit unhinged." He nailed the perception among journalists.
One consequence is something I call reductio ad libertarium.
On a given issue, a journalist confronted with the libertarian position, like legalizing drugs, objects by pointing out the most extreme possible consequence: "So I could go buy heroin at the store?" Fair enough, except that there are no analogous challenges to the establishment positions. A candidate whose stance is that drugs must remain illegal is never asked, "So you're okay with imprisoning millions of people, empowering violent street gangs, destabilizing multiple foreign countries, militarizing municipal police forces, and still having ubiquitous drug use?"
Thanks to status quo bias, libertarians are labeled "crazy" and "kooky," even as the establishment makes historic blunders for which they are never pilloried and that many libertarians opposed.
(Take the Iraq War.)
When Paul sat down in April 2010 with the Louisville Courier-Journal editorial board during his Senate primary, an interviewer, knowing his libertarian affinity for property rights, reached for the most extreme possible consequence of that position. "Would you have voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964?" he asked. It's actually a legitimate question. As Ross Douthat would later write, "No ideology survives the collision with real-world politics perfectly intact. General principles have to bend to accommodate the complexities of history, and justice is sometimes better served by compromise than by zealous intellectual consistency." Regardless of a candidate's ideology, it's appropriate to ask probing questions like that precisely to test his or her limits.
"I like the Civil Rights Act in the sense that it ended discrimination in all public domains," Paul replied. "I'm all in favor of that."
Said his questioner, "But?"
Paul chuckled.
"You had to ask for the 'but.' I don't like the idea of telling private business owners -- I abhor racism, I think it's a bad business idea to ever exclude anybody from your restaurant, but at the same time I do believe in private ownership, but I think there should be absolutely no discrimination in anything that gets any public funding, and that's mostly what the Civil Rights Act was about."
The newspaper cited that exchange in a subsequent editorial that pointedly endorsed neither man in the GOP primary. "The trouble with Dr. Paul is that despite his independent thinking, much of what he stands for is repulsive to people in the mainstream," the editorial stated. "For instance, he holds an unacceptable view of civil rights, saying that while the federal government can enforce integration of government jobs and facilities, private business people should be able to decide whether they want to serve black people, or gays, or any other minority group."

Fantastic location, right next to the eye so walking distance to Westminster, Trafalgar Square etc. Good restaurant on site but many places to eat (Italian, sushi, Mediterranean) across a range of prices right opposite hotel, plus a small supermarket. Family room was actually big enough for a family. 3 proper beds (2 singles and a double). 4 mugs in the room and plenty of towels. Comfortable beds with a choice of pillows.

The location was fantastic. Easy walking to Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, 10 Downing Street, London Eye. There was a Starbucks across the square which was great for morning coffees and a good Italian restaurant as well. The waterloo underground and train station were close by for all other transport. The rooms were very clean, and the staff very helpful with directions and booking a taxi for our trip to the airport. We had 2 triple rooms on the 10th floor with our daughters - Anonymous

Myself and my boyfriend absolutely loved our weekend stay at the Ibis hotel! We made a request a few months before our visit for a room with a view of the London Eye. They made it clear that the request will be possible however may not be for certain. We were amazed that we got the room they had requested, the staff were unbelievable friendly and gave us all the information we needed, as well as letting us keep our luggage in storage until 8.30pm even though we checked out at 12pm on sunday. - Anonymous
Warm and welcoming. Food excellent except for one entree and lack of chef for breakfast early one morning but choices were great. Fantastic location especially for original tour bus and St Pauls and Waterloo station although directions from station could have been clearer or more precise it took us three attempts. Room was lovely although at back of hotel. Cleanliness really good. Would stay again - Debra
This is the second time we have stayed at The Sanctuary House and was again fantastic, if not better. We stayed in an executive room so got a four post king size bed that you can get lost in and would recommend paying the little extra for the executive rooms. The staff were friendly and more than helpful as before. - James
Ideally located for the South Bank (e.g. Tate Modern), Borough Market and Imperial War Museum. Air conditioned. Excellent shower. - David

At 9:20AM local time on February 15, 2013, a meteor scorched across the skies above Chelyabinsk, Russia. The meteor's entry into the atmosphere causes a bright streak of light, described by many as brighter than the sun. The meteor traveled some 200 miles through the atmosphere before vaporizing in an explosion that shattered windows and set off car alarms. More than 1000 people reported injuries, mostly from flying pieces of broken glass. Coincidentally, the meteor arrived on the same day as the asteroid 2012 DA14 made it's closest approach to Earth, ~17,200 miles - inside the orbits of geostationary weather and communication satellites. But the two events were unrelated.

New panoramic, cephalometric, 3D Cone Beam, and PSP solutions are now added to the company's product portfolio.
Hatfield, PA (August 1, 2011) Today Gendex unveils three new systems, making this the most comprehensive product release in the company's history. The GXDP-700™ Series, which offers panoramic imaging upgradable to Ceph and/or 3D, the GXDP-300™ panoramic, with its simple yet high-performing functionality, and the GXPS-500™, that augments the current PSP line. All these products come from a strong lineage of imaging excellence, and underscore the Gendex desire and commitment to serve healthcare providers as it has done for over 100 years. Understanding that dentists' needs change over time, Gendex delivers the power of choice to those clinicians who want to grow their imaging capabilities as their practice demands increase—with the new GXDP-700 Series. Beginning with a robust pan comprised of a myriad of projections, the system can be upgraded in the field to add cephalometrics or 3D Cone Beam CT, or both. The 3D component, with 2 scan size options including a low-dose PerfectScout™ location tool, complements diagnosis and planning for targeted areas of interest in applications such as impactions, root investigation, implants, and more. Additionally, the GXDP-700's SmartLogic™ feature remembers the users most frequently used settings.
Performance meets simplicity in the new GXDP-300 panoramic. Its FOX™ technology, which compensates for anterior malocclusion, optimizes image clarity. The system offers the most commonly used projections, Pan, Bitewing, and TMJ views for three body sizes. With the GXDP-300, there's a simple 3-step process: Select the projection, select the body size, and take the pan. Both of these state-of-the-art systems utilize EasyPosition™, a group of five carefully designed features for quick and correct patient positioning leading to clear and repeatable imaging results. Another time-saving benefit of both units is the intuitive and easy-to-use touchscreen interface. Expanding its well-established PSP line, Gendex presents the GXPS-500 which offers an economical way to step into digital dentistry with a chemical-free, touchless process, while keeping the office's familiar workflow. In an instant, the reusable, long-lasting imaging plates are converted to clear, sharp images ready for diagnosis, and cleared for re-use. "Gendex is extremely excited to bring these new products to market that we believe will greatly impact dental practices," states Matt Reintjes, President of Gendex Dental Systems. "We feel that they exemplify our unwavering commitment to innovation and to providing total imaging solutions to the dental community through our valued dealer partners." Reintjes continues, "We fully anticipate that this new product line will achieve the level of success we've experienced with our GXS-700™ sensors."
Gendex, known for its reliable and innovative imaging equipment, offers a wide variety of solutions for both general dentists and specialists. The company's strong history in x-ray manufacturing, along with a deep dedication to deliver products that exceed the needs of dental professionals, have earned Gendex recognition as a global leader.

"That was the main goal with this movie--to put the stamp on my voice," he says. "If, back in the day, you heard somebody say, "It's a movie about a guy trapped in an elevator directed by Alfred Hitchcock,' you'd be like, "Yeah, I am all over that!' Now, in a weird way, I've got a little of that going for me. You tell someone it's a movie about a guy trapped in an elevator directed by M. Night Shyamalan, that person will go, "Ooooh, but he's not really in an elevator, is he?' The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable are where I found my voice, and it feels really good to be talking in it finally, and there's so much more I want to say. I'm just learning how to talk, and I feel like I found my own way of storytelling, which is awesome in this day and age, when everything's derivative of everything else. With my movies, audiences don't have anything to compare it to. This one, some of them said it reminded them of Sixth Sense, obviously, but nothing else." He laughs--giggles, actually. "That's a great achievement at the end of the day, so I feel real lucky about that."

Log file housekeeping question
After 1 year of very safe and relliable operations I start looking at some housekeeping on my Ubuntu servers. In particular I noticed the ever growing log files in var/log (ls -l output below). There is no way I am interested in looking at these detailed logs for stuff that happened motnhs ago, so in my view these are - literally - waste of space.
The same question for the log files that build up in ISPConfig's /var/www/webx/log directory. Can old files and directories in there be deleted safely?
Can I just remove them or what is the correct way to dispose of old log files?
Is there any way to delete and remove logfiles and logile entries that are older than a month by adjusting some configuration settings?
Any hints welcome.
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 640678 Jan 3 08:17 auth.log
If you're 100% sure you won't need it you can delete them. Backing them up to DVD-R won't hurt either ;)

Rock and roles: Madonna keeps the party going as she hits 50
Published 16/08/2008 | 00:00
Madonna reaches her half century today and, as befits the biggest female star in the world, will be less focussed on celebrating and more preoccupied with her world tour.
As she blows out the candles on her cake there is no sign of her quenching her insatiable appetite for controversy. The queen of pop is nowhere close to hanging up her crown.
The singer has the knack of constant reinvention, from cone corsets, her 'Sex' book and kissing Britney Spears, to becoming a children's author and raising awareness about the effects of HIV in Malawi.
According to Guinness World Records, Madonna is the most successful female solo artist by a country mile. She has sold around 120 million albums and 40 million singles -- more than any other female.
Not one to be accused of slowing down, the fit singer is preparing for her Sticky And Sweet world tour.
Her spokeswoman was keeping tight-lipped about exactly how Madonna will be celebrating.
The 'Mirror' recently reported that a lavish do at her country estate in Wiltshire may have to be postponed due to Madonna suffering a bad ankle.
Despite world domination, Madonna has not always had her own way.
In recent years, she has had to face rumours of marriage difficulties with film director husband Guy Ritchie, as well as controversy over her adoption of Malawian child David Banda.
The singer has two other children, a son, Rocco, and a daughter named Lourdes.
At the Cannes Film Festival this year, Madonna introduced a screening of her documentary 'I Am Because We Are' about the effects of Aids in Malawi, saying the film was a "labour of love''.
A new poll of more than 1,200 Madonna fans, conducted by MSN Entertainment, named 'Like A Prayer' as her best song of all time. The album of the same name also topped the poll as Madonna's best.
Of all her fashion moments, the golden cone corset was voted as the best to date, beating her 1980s Marilyn Monroe look and black bangles and fingerless gloves.
As she enters her 50s, fans are most keen for 'Madge'' to continue releasing albums (30pc), followed by writing her autobiography (23pc).
Her latest reincarnation is as a shrewd businesswoman, after she severed ties with long-term record label Warner Brothers to sign up with Live Nation, a company that until recently specialised in music tours.
Madonna's wealth is estimated to be in excess of €272m. And, as well as earning €81m over the life of the agreement with Warner Brothers, Madonna appeared to be among the first to recognise which way the industry was heading.
Recorded music, many artists now believe, is making them less money than concerts, meaning they are looking to spend less time in the recording studio and more on the stage.
The last few years have not all been easy for Madonna, however.
Her decision in 2006 to adopt a young Malawian boy whose mother died was controversial both in the southern African country and further afield.
Aid groups in Malawi said the authorities had bent the rules to accommodate the superstar, and the adoption was challenged in court. Not for the first time, Madonna prevailed and the adoption went through.
And her eight-year marriage to Ritchie has also come under increasing scrutiny after tabloid newspapers in Britain have reported that the couple are planning to divorce.
Ritchie and Madonna have denied the reports.

After three exceptional trio albums Nothing ever was, anyway, Amaryllis, and Storyteller , a poetic, powerful, luminous solo album from pianist Marilyn Crispell. Increasingly Crispell is proving that tenderness and strength can be compatible characteristics, rather than opposites, in improvisation. Cecil Taylor long ago predicted that Marilyn would spearhead a new kind of lyricism in jazz, and she is defining it here, on the modestly- titled Vignettes.
I wanted this to be a recording that was thoroughly authentic in feeling, Crispell says. Very pared down, with nothing superfluous in it, and at the same time music that was from the heart. And thats easily said but not so easily done: even in improvisation a lot of activity in the music can simply happen out of fast, nervous energy. I wanted instead focussed energy, where every note and sound and silence has some purpose. Well, heres an analogy: I was recently reading a book about Chinese five-element acupuncture theory, which suggested that in times of chaos and transition you shouldnt try and force change, but rather get to a quiet place where you can allow transformation to manifest itself. A lot of my experience with ECM has been like that, allowing a musical direction to emerge rather than artificially forcing it.
The directions that emerge on Vignettes bring Crispell to many different places and by several means. Free improvisation here has the rigour of composition, but pre-composed and partly-composed material also has its place. Valse Triste for instance is a piece written during a residency at the Centre Dürrenmatt in Neuchâtel. Axis and Ballade are themes that have long figured in Crispells concerts, integrated in improvisation. Cuida Tu Espíritu (Take Care of Your Spirit), is a piece written by flutist Jayna Nelson a friend and neighbour in Woodstock. Arve Henriksens composition Stilleweg is a piece that Marilyn first encountered in a group led by Danish saxophonist Lotte Anker. She has spoken often in interviews of her temperamental closeness to the Scandinavian musicians. One of her tunes here is titled, after the fact, Sweden. She spoke about her connections to North European music in the book Horizons Touched (Granta 2007).
In 1992 I went to Scandinavia for the first time, to play in a Stockholm festival called Solo 92. Also there was the bass player Anders Jormin. All along, in the context of my solo music, Id also been playing various ballads, though the primary focus of my music was energy and intensity. When I heard Anders, his playing touched a chord in me that resonated strongly. It would be two years before Id have the chance to work with him, but in that moment, the seed of change was sown. Thanks to my friend Lennart Nilsson in Sweden, I was able to hear many recordings of Scandinavian folk and jazz musicians (my favourite singer was Lena Willemark). I loved the way the Scandinavian jazz players used elements of their own folk music in their improvisations, and loved their aesthetic of space, beauty and tenderness. Somehow, this was the missing element in my own music, and by absorbing it, I felt that my music was becoming more whole not changing so much as expanding, to include more of everything that I felt and wanted to express.
Marilyn Crispell (born 1947 in Philadelphia) graduated from the New England Conservatory and played exclusively classical music and contemporary composition until she was 28, when exposure to John Coltranes A Love Supreme changed her musical priorities forever. She quickly became one of the most sought after improvising pianists in new jazz with a strongly physical style influenced on the one hand by the rhythmic propulsion of the music of Cecil Taylor and McCoy Tyner. She was also influenced by the ballad stylings of Paul Bley and Keith Jarrett.
Her 15-year membership of the Anthony Braxton Quartet, 1978-1993, confirmed her international standing, as did a series of leader recordings for a wide variety of labels. By 1990 she was also working regularly with European improvisers and her encounters with Scandinavian players in particular made her aware of other jazz sensibilities. Besides working as a soloist and leader of her own groups, Crispell has performed and recorded extensively with well-known players on the American and international jazz scene. She has worked extensively with Barry Guy (in trio, with the London Jazz Composers Orchestra and with the Barry Guy New Orchestra), with the Reggie Workman Ensemble, as well as the Henry Grimes Trio, the Evan Parker Trio, Fred Anderson, and many others. Crispell has also performed and recorded music by contemporary composers Robert Cogan, Pozzi Escot, John Cage, Pauline Oliveros, Manfred Niehaus and Anthony Davis.
Marilyn Crispell made her ECM label debut in 1996 when she recorded Nothing ever was, anyway a double album of Annette Peacocks music which was very well received, collecting an album of the year prize in France, Jazzmans Choc de lannée 1997. It was followed by Amaryllis (recorded in 2000), with material by Crispell, Gary Peacock and Paul Motian and Storyteller (2003) which emphasized primarily Motians songwriting. Crispell also appeared on Anders Jormins song cycle In winds, in light (recorded 2003), alongside singer Lena Willemark.
Vignettes was recorded in April 2007 at the Auditorio RSI the performance space at Luganos Radio Svizzera (which has been the location for ECM recordings ranging from Anouar Brahems Voyage de Sahar to Enrico Rava and Stefano Bollanis recent The Third Man).
Marilyn Crispell, who performed at New Yorks Village Vanguard in March with Paul Motian and Mark Helias, is playing a number of solo concerts in the US in connection with the release of Vignettes. An official CD release party and solo concert takes place at New Yorks Birdland club on April 29. There are also solo concerts in Buffalo, Concord, Baltimore and Woodstock. A number of European dates are also in preparation. Details will be posted soon at www.ecmrecords.com and www.marilyncrispell.com

A webinar releasing an MPI report that examines the outreach and initiatives by educational institutions and other community stakeholders in seven states—California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, New York, and Texas—to support the education and training success of grantees of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
A day-long conference in Brussels, co-sponsored by the International Labour Office and the European Commision's Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs, and Inclusion, where panelists discuss the dynamics by which migrants get stuck in low-skilled work, and the role of training and employment services in helping them progress in their occupations. The conference concludes a project and series of reports prepared on the Labor Market Integration of New Arrivals in Europe.
This report is the final one in an MPI-International Labour Office series that examines the employment prospects of migrants in the EU (focusing on the case-study countries of the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom), as well as the effectiveness of integration and workforce development policies in helping these workers overcome barriers and ascend out of low-skilled work.
It is crucial for children of migrant background in Europe to become proficient in their host country's main language of instruction. This MPI Europe policy brief provides key points and good practice examples on what comprehensive language support in Europe might look like.
For children of migrant background, school quality is critical to ensuring academic success. This MPI Europe policy brief examines how European policymakers can support school quality in four key areas: language diversity, the learning environment, social psychology and acculturation, and community connections.
Mentoring programs can target many core needs of children with an immigrant background that schools are not equipped to address, by providing specific and personalized support on the road to academic success. This policy brief prepared for the SIRIUS Network explores how European Union policymakers can make mentoring projects an integral part of the educational landscape at the EU level.
Whilst many European countries have well-established education systems, children with a migrant background are disproportionately among the underperformers and face a number of critical education needs that mainstream education policy does not currently meet. This policy brief prepared for the SIRIUS Network provides an overview of how education policies can be improved for children of migrant background.
Against the backdrop of an aging population and shrinking labor force, German policymakers have been giving greater priority to policies that ensure that immigrants are able to make their way into middle-skilled work. This report assesses recent policy developments designed to facilitate the labor market advancement of new arrivals in Germany.
The economic crisis of 2008 hit Spain with a disproportionate effect on those in temporary work, revealing underlying gaps in the policy framework meant to support the inclusion of both immigrants and other vulnerable individuals in the Spanish labor market. This report assesses how well recent reforms are filling these gaps and helping immigrants and other disadvantaged workers move into middle-skilled jobs.
This day-long conference in Brussels, co-sponsored by the International Labour Office and the European Commision's Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs, and Inclusion, focuses on the dynamics by which migrants get stuck in low-skilled work, and the role of training and employment services in helping them progress in their occupations.
Despite a robust mainstream workforce development system offering job-search and other employment assistance to newcomers, immigrants in France are more likely to be unemployed or in low-skilled work than their native-born peers. This report examines how well recent changes to integration policy, in combination with mainstream employment policies, are supporting migrants' integration and advancement in the labor market.
Immigrants in the United Kingdom find work easily thanks to a flexible labor market, but often have trouble moving up the ladder into middle-skilled work. This report examines how workforce and integration policies affect immigrant workers in the United Kingdom.
As Central American child migrant flows have returned to their precrisis level, challenges remain concerning the fate of tens of thousands of newly arrived children and families now residing in the United States pending immigration court hearings. Meanwhile, Congress has declined to authorize new funding to address the situation.
A discussion and report release on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, how its educational requirements may be impacting application rates, and recommendations for overcoming the education-success challenges that key subgroups of DACA-DREAM youth face.
A port city connecting the Netherlands with major trading partners, Rotterdam is, and has long been, home to migrants from around the globe. But the recent rise in temporary forms of migration presents new challenges for Rotterdam's integration policy.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is unprecedented in the scope of its educational requirements.

Great food and service, friendly staff. I've had the chicken enchiladas, mole, tamales - all good. The sauce they serve with the chips is tasty - kind of smoky and not too hot. Flan was just ok and I saw a fried ice cream go by that looked good. Full bar - my friend had a marguerita and said it was good. Went on a Tuesday night which is their dollar night.

We've read over and over that the great recession is behind us, although evidence of human suffering abounds. This is not a new phenomenon, and it was ably described a lifetime ago by Eugene V. Debs:
It is easy enough for a gentleman of education and refinement to sit at his typewriter and point out the crimes of the workers. But let him be one of them himself, reared in hard poverty, denied education, thrown into the brute struggle for existence from childhood, oppressed, exploited, forced to strike, clubbed by the police, jailed while his family is evicted, and his wife and children are hungry, and he will hesitate to condemn these as criminals who fight against the crimes of which they are the victims of such savage methods as have been forced upon them by their masters.
Debs of course was the labor organizer who ran several times as the Socialist candidate for president. His words, although in context refer to violent and deplorable acts, remind this blogger that the hard life is difficult to witness from an air-conditioned office. And it seems clear, given the myopic coverage of our increasingly inequitable society, the media blindness is widespread. Here the work of independent and citizen journalists, who are often themselves working for scraps, becomes even more vital.
This Thanksgiving, let us be thankful for what we have, and angry for what billions more have not.

Imagine you are crossing the barren wind-swept Central Asian steppe when off in the distance you spot an odd-looking mound of rocks and tree branches adorned with brightly colored silk scarves whipping about. Squinting against the sun and dust, you spy a man – a fellow traveler – stopping by the mound. You watch curiously as he circles slowly, reverently about the mound. He tosses a few trinkets on it (coins maybe, hard to tell from so far away), ties another scarf to it, and then after pausing briefly as if in prayer, he continues on his way. As an outsider, you find both the mound and the man quite strange. But to the herders who have traversed these steppes for centuries, it is all very familiar, and – as some recent research has found – informative.
The mound is a ritual cairn (rhymes with "urn") or ovaa in the native language and they are found all across south-central Siberia and Mongolia. While cairns often mark territorial borders, their significance is as much religious as political. They are closely associated with traditional spiritualism and shamanism. Though Buddhism and Christianity have penetrated into the Central Asian steppes, many people continue to adhere to traditional shamanistic and animistic religious practices. Included among those practices is the surrendering of offerings, such as money or silk scarves, at cairns. Stopping to perform a cairn ritual is thought to be pleasing to the local spirit-masters. However, along with supernatural functions, the ritual offering may also serve an important practical function.

Dell XPS 18stars
This 18-inch tablet doubles as a decent all-in-one, but you'll pay a premium for the flexibility....
This 27-inch all-in-one from Asus features a touchscreen, but it isn't able to recline — meaning that it's likely to give you a case of gorilla arms. What is fancy, though, is that it doesn't use infrared sensors, meaning that it's less likely to get confused with multi-touch than competing brands do, and it supports up to 10 simultaneous touches. We asked Asus if it was capacitive, but it wouldn't be drawn on the tech used.
The display itself is odd. Asus claims 178° viewing angles, and the panel is VA based — yet the vertical viewing angles are quite shallow, with a visible darkening occurring as you move outside of the narrow optimal-viewing range. Indeed, get slightly off angle, and the brightness drops sharply. For those who care to look, there is also a faint but noticeable grid across the screen; a side effect, perhaps, of the touch sensor used.
Aside from these unique features, the ET2700INTS keeps things different by including a desktop processor and a hard drive, where usually mobile components are used. Intel's Core i7 2600 beats at the heart of the machine, giving significantly more grunt than its mobile peers have, although sadly Asus has chosen to hobble the performance of the system by making the included 2TB desktop drive one of Western Digital's slower green drives.
What is still mobile is the graphics chip: Nvidia's GeForce GT 540M, paired with 2GB of memory. An Intel HD Graphics 2000 processor is in here as well, allowing Nvidia's Optimus to be used to save on power. It's not as critical as with battery-powered machines, but any money saved on your power bill is a plus.
As a result of this hardware, the ET2700INTS can build up a bit of a whine when it needs to cool itself down, but it never breaks the threshold of annoying. What does, though, is Asus' choice to hide most of its ports behind an obstructive, hard plastic flap, including an SD card reader; two USB 3.0 ports; a combined USB/eSATA port; speaker, headphone and microphone jacks (that can be reassigned as 5.1 outputs if desired); and a subwoofer-out port.
Yes, Asus bundles a passive subwoofer, and it does help round the sound out a lot better than just a set of tweeters would. But it's also incredibly muddy, with bass becoming an amorphous mess rather than having any clarity to it. The tech used is smart; pull the subwoofer, and the speakers in the all-in-one system automatically change their tone to add more bass. The sound still isn't great, though, creating a muffled and dynamically flat experience that just appears to shoot out from under the monitor.
