Ailyn Perez and More Set for Richard Tucker Music Foundation 37th Annual Gala at Avery Fisher Hall, 11/11
The Richard Tucker Music Foundation holds its 37th annual gala, one of the most highly anticipated events of the opera season, on Sunday, November 11 at Avery Fisher Hall in New York's Lincoln Center. Soprano Ailyn Pérez, winner of the 2012 Richard Tucker Award and the first Latina singer to be so honored, joins a dazzling array of special guests – including baritones Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Gerald Finley; mezzo-soprano Olga Borodina; tenor Marcello Giordani; bass Ildar Abdrazakov; bass-baritone Erwin Schrott; and many more – in a program of favorite arias and ensembles, including selections by Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti, Massenet, Mascagni, Handel, and Wagner. Maestro Patrick Summers, Artistic and Music Director of Houston Grand Opera, leads the lineup of luminaries, supported by members of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and the New York Choral Society.
Tickets for this year's event, which is being made possible in part by the generous support of Cadillac, range from $40 to $500 and are on sale to the public on the Richard Tucker Music Foundation's recently redeveloped web site, www.richardtucker.org, as well as at www.lincolncenter.org, by calling CenterCharge (212) 721-6500, or at the Avery Fisher Hall box office. Seats at the gala dinner on the Grand Promenade that follows the concert can be arranged by contacting the foundation's offices at (212) 757-2218.
Those unable to attend the star-studded performance will be happy to learn that it is returning to television for the first time since 2007; the concert will be filmed for delayed national broadcast in the U.S. as part of PBS's Emmy Award-winning "Live From Lincoln Center" series on Thursday, December 13. Hosted by five-time Tony Award-winning singer and actress Audra McDonald, the telecast will feature mini-documentaries in addition to the musical performance.
Founded in 1975, the Richard Tucker Music Foundation is a non-profit cultural organization dedicated to perpetuating the artistic legacy of the great Brooklyn-born tenor by nurturing the careers of talented American opera singers and bringing opera into the community. Through awards, grants for study, performance opportunities, and other activities, the Foundation provides professional development for singers at each stage of their careers. The Foundation also offers free performances in the New York Metropolitan area and supports music education enrichment programs.
The Foundation's most substantial prize is the annual Richard Tucker Award: $30,000 given to an artist judged to be on the threshold of a major international career, with previous award winners including Renée Fleming, David Daniels, Joyce DiDonato, Deborah Voigt, Lawrence Brownlee, and Angela Meade. The winner of the 2012 award is soprano Ailyn Pérez, who continues to gain momentum as one of America's fastest-rising talents as she heads into a season packed with many of opera's best-loved heroines: Puccini's Mimì, Mozart's Countess, Verdi's Violetta, and Donizetti's Adina; Opera News writes: "The phrase 'an embarrassment of riches' might have been invented to describe the combination of talents that belong to Ailyn Pérez." Born in Chicago to first-generation Mexican immigrants, Pérez is the first Hispanic singer to receive the Tucker Award in its 34-year history. What is more, her husband, tenor Stephen Costello, won in 2009, making the couple dubbed "America's fastest-rising husband-and-wife opera stars" (Associated Press) the first to have not one, but two Richard Tucker Awards on the mantelpiece.

Woman snatched in West Bengal by tiger and dragged into surrounding forest
Authorities are hunting for the woman who disappeared on Saturday
Heather Saul
Heather Saul is an online news reporter for www.independent.co.uk
Saturday 09 August 2014
A hunt is underway for a missing woman who was snatched by a tiger and disappeared into the surrounding forest in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal, an official said Saturday.
Forest official Nabin Chandra Bahunguna said the unnamed woman, her husband and a boat driver were trying to catch crabs in a shallow river near the Pirkhali Forest on Friday when the tiger jumped on her and dragged her into the wilderness.
The attack occurred in the Sunderbans, where the Ganges River empties into the Bay of Bengal. Authorities have been searching for her in the vast and tangled mangrove forest but have yet to find any trace of her.
It was the sixth tiger attack this year in the Sunderbans, where environmentalists say shrinking habitat is forcing tigers to venture farther in search of food.
In June, a Bengal tiger dragged a man off a fishing boat in India and into a mangrove swamp as his children looked on in horror.
The family were also understood to be crab fishing in a stream in the Sunderbans National Park when the animal jumped aboard the boat and attacked the man.
India is home to more than half of the 3,200 tigers believed to be left in the wild in the world.
Their numbers are also dwindling fast because of deaths at the hands of poachers, who target the creatures for their skin, bones, teeth and claws.

I am trying to scan using my Mac with Mavericks, but have an old HP printer, Photosmart 2575 All in One. Is this going to be possible. It scans but I can't find the piece on my computer, so where is it going? I have asked for it to go to my desktop, but it's not there. I had no problem with the old operating system.

Yes, it will work, but probably not scanning FROM the printer. Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Eddie Bert: Trombonist whose 70-year career included stints with Davis, Monk and Mingus
Thursday 11 October 2012
With a career lasting the best part of 70 years, the trombonist Eddie Bert was part of the backbone of jazz. He was a fat-toned and imaginative soloist with a cosmopolitan style who worked with more bands and made more recordings than did any other jazz musician in New York.
His first recordings were with Mildred Bailey, who made her name as the singer in the Paul Whiteman Orchestra of the early 1930s and, typifying the enormous musical span of his life, Bert worked latterly in the band led by TS Monk, son of Thelonious. Often at the forefront of modern jazz, he'd played in progressive bands led by Monk Senior and Charlie Mingus – although, like many people intimidated by the bassist's violence, he left after a short but potent stay with Mingus.
Two trombone heroes of the '30s, Benny Morton and Trummy Young, gave him coaching as a small boy. He played in New York in an amateur band led by the 14-year-old Shorty Rogers. The band also included a saxophone-playing friend of Rogers who was the same age – Stan Getz.
When he was 18, Bert was hired by Sam Donahue for his big band, but soon left to rejoin Rogers in Red Norvo's band. He took his first solo on record in 1942 on Norvo's "Jersey Bounce". With the draft having swept up most adult musicians, there were plenty of good jobs for youngsters in the war years, and Bert played with many bands, including those of Charlie Barnet and Woody Herman. While with Herman he was drafted in January 1944 and worked in an army band led by Bill Finegan, later of Sauter-Finegan Orchestra fame.
Discharged in 1946, he played first for Herbie Fields and then Boyd Raeburn before joining Stan Kenton in September 1947. He was the main soloist in what was perhaps the finest trombone section that Kenton ever had. Kenton featured the singer June Christy, and Bert soloed on several of her finest records. By now he played with great authority, and emerged as an entertaining vocalist, recording duets with one of the Kenton trumpeters Ray Wetzel, including a hilarious "Save the Bones for Henry Jones".
In December 1948 Bert was with the Benny Goodman orchestra while also rehearsing with Miles Davis in what became the groundbreaking "Birth of the Cool" band. But he was out on the road with Goodman when the Davis band made its classic recordings, and his place on them was taken by another Kenton trombonist, Kai Winding. In 1950 Bert joined Artie Shaw's band before returning to Goodman and then to Kenton again
With his credentials truly established, Bert now played in innumerable small and large groups led by all the major figures on the New York scene. During the 1950s he studied at the Manhattan School of Music, where he obtained two degrees. Fluent in most kinds of jazz, he rejoined Goodman, appeared on television with him in 1958, and played with Thelonious Monk in his famous New York Town Hall concert of 1959.
He returned to the Town Hall in 1962 to feature with Charlie Mingus. For much of the 1960s and '70s he worked as a studio musician. He spent two years on Dick Cavett's television show, spending his nights as a member of the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz orchestra. With the Jones-Lewis band he toured Europe and made the first of many trips to Japan and Europe, including England. I made several broadcasts with him for the BBC at this period.
He joined the New York Repertory Company, which held such stars as trumpeter Joe Newman and pianist Dick Hyman. The group toured the Soviet Union, following in the steps of a disastrously neurotic tour there by Benny Goodman. Bert recorded the band's Rostov-on-Don concert by putting a portable cassette machine on the piano. He sent me the tape and there's no doubting the overwhelming enthusiasm of the jazz-starved Russians.
Bert played one last concert with Thelonious Monk in 1981 and stayed with the tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet's band from 1984 to 1986 when he returned to Benny Goodman yet again. He was a founding member of the American Jazz Orchestra in 1986, joined Loren Schoenberg's big band the same year and played with Schoenberg until 1996. During that period he was a regular in Walt Levinsky's Great American Swing orchestra and twice toured Japan with that band.
In 1998 he returned to England to play at a celebration of Stan Kenton at Egham in Windsor and the same year toured in Japan with the clarinettist Ken Peplowski. He continued to work in and around New York until earlier this year when he suffered a stroke which left him unable to play or to speak.
During the 1980s Bert taught music at Essex College, Bridgeport University and Western Connecticut State University. He published The Eddie Bert Trombone Method in 1972. He was also an accomplished photographer, and his work appeared in To Bird with Love (1981), a book by Chan Parker and F Paudras, and in Jazz Giants: a Visual Retrospective (1988) by K Abé.

bohair0711 Rating:3.0Overall nice product once the labels are removed and the cans are lit. Removing labels from 3 cans took longer than hanging the fireplace. I used adhesive remover and it stil took over 30 minutes to remove the labels from the three cans.

jodster79 Rating:3.0Throws off a bit of heat and DOES actually crackle like real fire as it burns. Kind of tricky to extinguish and a little high maintenance to use. First you have to remove paper labeling, then you must wash lids & use tongs to 'set' back on top of burning can. It is suggested that you wait 30 minutes for cans to cool before handling, THEN YOU MUST SECURE LIDS (like paint cans) TO CLOSE CANS, OR FUEL EVAPORATES. I didn't do this and overnight cans dried out. It seems that 3 hours is the maximum burn time. For me, the ambiance it creates is worth it, but I think the design & ease of use could be improved.

troche Rating:4.0This corn stalk plant arrived in 7 days, 1/23 - 1/30/14. The plant was packed well, and without damage. The height from pot base to the top of plant is 53". The greatest width is 18" .. The leaves are very dark green, and resemble a healthy corn stalk plant.. If the pot is at all visible you must place plant in a larger container! (mine measures 9"h by 11"w). This is a smaller tree, but it suits my space grandly.

It is well built and really easy to assemble. I would definitely recommend it as being a great value, as I have seen simillar ones $20-$30+ higher at other stores.

bobbiesergei Rating:5.0I rate this with 5 stars because it is a cute item, but now I'm thinking of returning it but am not sure how much it will cost me to mail it back. If it's too much to return I will keep it although I have to say upon receiving it today, July 30, 2014, the glass on one side was broken and it said a LED battery was included and it wasn't. I'm highly disappointed of what I saw when I opened the box, which was packed wonderfully. I don't know if the glass broke upon shipment or was sent this way. I'll have to make some decision on this one. bobbie from Arizona

bizzymammabee Rating:5.0Got the pillows today, I was worried that they would be just ok when I got them. Just opened them and they are cute, seem to be well made. The price was really good for the quality and quantity of pillows per order. When I was shopping around, I was really baffled at how much some other pillows cost. I like to redecorate all the time so I didn't want to spend upwards of $30 per pillow. These fit the bill. So next time I redecorate I won't feel so bad if I can't continue to use them.

ojean Rating:5.0I was looking for a fairly inexpensive fireplace for our new apartment to make a center piece/entertainment center (mounting our TV above the fireplace) out of it for quite a while until I found this gem. For about $400, this fireplace is a steal. The high quality build of it looks amazing and assembly is a breeze. It took about 30 minutes to assemble the entire thing. The best thing about this is the finish and color, we had guests ask us if the fireplace was a part of the apartment - it blended in so perfectly with our living room that it looks as though it was meant to be there. I hardly write reviews on any products, but I was so satisfied with this purchase that I felt compelled to write a review for others in a similar situation. If you need a reassuring review for this product, or if you have any doubts about it - let it go away because you will be happy with this piece. One last thing - the flame canisters are a bit pricey, however the amount of heat it emits makes this fireplace more than decorative. It will definitely warm up a large living room, however, the canisters last about 2 hours. It's a great thing to have when the power goes out, but it will cost more than regular firewood. The ceramic "firewood" piece looks artificial, however, from a distance it looks just fine. The mantel is about the size of an actual fireplace... ample space for decorative plants, candles, etc.

I was able to assemble by myself in about an hour (probably would have taken my husband 30 minutes!). The gel fuel isn't as convenient as an electric unit, but the real flame with the crackle sound is very nice. It's a gorgeous addition to our living room.

lorrie904 Rating:4.0I like the pillows, but the stiching on the seam has already come loose and I have only had them for about 2 weeks. I understand these things happen so I wouldn't negatively rate the product because of it, but for $30 a pillow I dont feel as if the stiching should be falling out. I now have to take it to someone to fix because I cannot sew. The color on the pillows are pretty close to the same as the picture. They were custom made when ordered so the shipping took a little longer than expected. Nice pillows though and good quality other than the stiching.

astordrive Rating:5.0I am so glad I bought 2 of these shelves. I was trying to figure out a way to mount an object weighing 40 pounds on my wall in the den. I saw this item, but was really skeptical about its weight claim of 30 pounds. My item was also wider than 1 shelf, so I bought two. When I got them and examined them I was quickly convinced that they could hold the weight. The mounting system is all metal, which you mount to the wall. Then the black shelh slides over the metal mount and is screwed in place. It was easy to mount. I combined screws into the wall stud and molybolts, just to make sure. It looks great and is easily holding my heavy item.

Researcher calls spike in ADHD diagnoses 'very significant'
A study of health records from California suggests that rates of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have jumped by 24 percent since 2001.
"That is a very significant increase," says Darios Getahun, a research scientist with the Kaiser Permanente Southern California Medical Group who conducted the study.
The apparent rise in diagnoses is likely caused by growing awareness of the condition among parents and doctors, he and other specialists said.
The study looked at health records of more than 840,000 children, ages 5 to 11, who met a strict definition for ADHD, as diagnosed by a trained expert. It found that 2.5 percent of children were diagnosed with ADHD at the start of the study in 2001, vs. 3.1 percent in 2010.
The percentage diagnosed is lower than in many other studies because of the strict diagnostic criteria and because, unlike other research, the study relied only on health records, not parents' reports, Getahun says.
The study, published in Monday's issue of JAMA Pediatrics, was large enough to break down those diagnosed by gender, race, family income and age. It found that boys were three times more likely to be diagnosed than girls. That may suggest that boys are more vulnerable to ADHD, as they are to autism, Getahun said.
It may be because girls with the condition are often overlooked, said pediatrician Craig Garfield of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.

University of Kansas and participating Lawrence artists
From the Ground Up is an on-going collaboration between artists living in Lawrence, and scientists and teachers from the the University of Kansas and the Kansas Geological Survey. The project seeks to capture the imagination of students of all ages who are interested in the landscape around them and exploring the connections between human history, art, geography, biology, and other disciplines. The collection is organized by content modules, each containing an archive of artworks which serve as a basis for, or a response to, work in other disciplines. The two currently-loaded modules are "Landscape Paintings of Douglas and Jefferson counties, Kansas, 1995-2005" and "Langston Hughes in Lawrence, Kansas." What each of the artworks have in common is that they are specific to a particular place. Each has been mapped to a particular GPS coordinate which allows users to locate them on a map. The metadata for each image also includes a specific location link to Google Maps. See the From the Ground Up project website (http://www.groundsite.org) for more information.

The shrinking evolution that turned T. Rex to Tweety
- Published: 1 Aug 2014 at 17.48 | Viewed: 955 | Comments: 0
- Online news: World
- Writer: AFP
WASHINGTON - Large, meat-eating dinosaurs shrank over a period of 50 million years of evolution to become today's modern birds, a study showed Thursday.
Fossilized bones of a gigantic theropod dinosaur, Gigantorraptor erlianensis, are displayed on June 13, 2007 in Beijing
"Birds out-shrank and out-evolved their dinosaurian ancestors, surviving where their larger, less evolvable relatives could not," said lead author Michael Lee, a professor at the University of Adelaide's School of Earth and Environmental Sciences.

Racers Seek CIT Championship Bid
The men's Racer basketball team faces off against the Pacific Tigers in the semifinal round of the Collegeinsider.com Tournament tonight. The Racers enter the semis after knocking off Towson while the Tigers are fresh off a win over San Diego.
Racers coach Steve Prohm said at a press conference this week that he sees free throw shooting as a key to the game.
"One of our biggest strengths all season long statistically has been getting to the free throw line, and one of their biggest weaknesses has been putting people on the free throw line -and then not getting to the free throw line- so hopefully we can use that to our advantage," Prohm said.
The Racers hold the only victory in the all-time series between the two teams.
Tipoff is tonight at 8 at Murray's CFSB Center. The game airs on CBS Sports Network. The winner will go on to play in the CIT championship Thursday.
The other semifinal bout between Yale and VMI will begin at 6:00 tonight. It will also air on CBS Sports Network.

Fears of poll violence
- Published: 12/05/2011 at 10:41 AM
- Online news:
The shooting of a former MP has raised fears the upcoming election will be especially violent.
Police inspect the car of former Samut Prakan MP Pracha Prasopdee after he was attacked Tuesday night. Five bullets were fired, hitting Mr Pracha in the back and shoulder. TAWEECHAI TAWATTAKORN

Ugly, violent poll fight tipped
Pracha says he knows who ordered contract hit
Post Reporters
Police are taking action in an attempt to forestall violence during the lead-up to the July 3 elections after the shooting of a former MP for Samut Prakan.
The attack on veteran politician Pracha Prasopdee on Tuesday night has heightened concerns that the polls will be marred with violence. The shooting came just a day after the House was dissolved.
The Central Investigation Bureau has ordered its units to step up security and surveillance for cash, contract gunmen, and firearms.
"All units have been told to look into movements of cash and weapons and report in regularly.
"Hired gunmen should be closely watched. We have information about contract gunmen from overseas being hired," said CIB chief Pongpat Chayaphan.
Pol Lt Gen Pongpat said the agency had drawn up a security plan for the election.
Police have been told to stay neutral and curb attempts by politicians to bribe voters and any activities which could obstruct clean and fair elections.
Crime Suppression Division commander Supisal Pakdinaruenart said he was worried that the election would be one of the most violent in recent years.
He said the shooting of Mr Pracha is a sign of growing violence which could also be expected in Chon Buri, Phetchaburi, Ayutthaya, Nakhon Sawan, Nonthaburi and Prachin Buri provinces, where poll attacks have occurred before.
"Election-related crimes are usually rampant in areas where races are very tight or where candidates have no substitutes," he said.
Pol Maj Gen Supisal said contract killings are hard to avoid due to a lack of evidence implicating the masterminds.
"We can establish a motive but it is hard to find the last jigsaw piece to show who was behind it.
"If any candidates do not feel safe during the election, they can seek protection from the CSD and we will consider requests on a case-by-case basis," he said.
In a telephone interview, Mr Pracha ruled out local politics or conflicts over candidates within the Pheu Thai Party as being the motive for the attempt on his life.
He believed the attack was related to the election, and knew who ordered it.
"I know who has ordered the contract on me. A son of a politician has passed on a message via a senior official that when I am no longer an MP, he will shoot me.
"Barely two days after the House dissolution, I was shot," he said.
Mr Pracha said he has spoken to police and hopes the government will attend to the matter.
"I am not dead yet because I have to win the election and help [ousted prime minister] Thaksin Shinawatra return to the country," he said.
Mr Pracha said Thaksin called him and wished him a speedy recovery.
