But if you are thinking of using your iPad to create artwork that can be printed or shared with a friend or client afterwards, it is important to understand the export options available. Can you enlarge the artwork afterwards? What are your format choices? Can you create a video detailing your process? To answer these questions and more, I'm going to take a look at some of the export options available across a range of art apps on the iPad.

Guest Blog by: Elaine Ayres, MS RD
Over the past several years I have had the pleasure of working with a number of informaticians both in my "day job" as well as with initiatives through the Academy. Interdisciplinary teams are common in the traditional acute health care setting. In her article on effective health care teams Sandra Leggat states "The division of labor among medical, nursing and allied health practitioners means that no single professional can deliver a complete episode of healthcare". http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6963/7/17
Interdisciplinary teams are equally important for health information technology. Implementation teams for electronic health records require that "end users" participate from the beginning on the design and functionality of a system. On the larger stage of health care IT policy and standards coordinated through the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT, interdisciplinary participation is critical. Without the participation of subject matter experts, standards lack the wisdom of boots-on-the-ground practice. As clinician-informaticians bring both clinical and information management expertise to the table, the resulting standards reflect both best-practice healthcare and sound information management practices.
One such clinician informatician is Russell Leftwich, MD, Chief Medical Informatics Officer for the Tennessee Office of eHealth Initiatives based in Nashville, TN. Russ has participated in many of the Standards and Interoperability initiatives through the Office of the National Coordinator, lending his expertise as an allergist and informatician. In addition, Russ has participated in HL7 patient care standards development for allergies and intolerances. Through each of these activities, Russ has been the consummate team player, recognizing the unique perspectives of the various subject matter experts. As a result, sound nutritional practices and principles have been included in the development of these standards.
The Health Information Management Systems Society or HIMSS has taken note of Russ' talents as well! Dr. Leftwich is the 2011 recipient of the HIMSS 2011 Physician IT Leadership Award.
Congratulations to Russ for your continued dedication to health care informatics and your support of the nutrition community. It has been an honor to work with you and we look forward to many more collaborations in the future.

I am having such a difficult time deciding on wood or wood-clad windows. We are most likely considering the Marvin product line either way. I am getting such conflicting answers on how long the paint will last on the wood windows. The window rep tells me every 2-3 years the wood windows will need to be painted. Is this correct?? Yet the builder says it is much longer.
We fear that we will be married to a color with the metal clad forever. Yet, we are not the type to want to paint every 2-3 years. We are building a Spanish style home in Fort Worth, Texas. We are considering a sage green color for the windows with a yellowish-cream color of stucco (along with a tile roof). The main drawback for us with the wood-clad is being stuck with the sage green color forever, and what if it goes out of style in 10-15 years. Any experience with wood windows in a similiar climate would help us. Our neighborhood does offer some shade. Our house will face north, and the sides of the house will not receive tons of direct sunlight. |

I think the Marvin rep is preparing for the rest and the truth probably lies somewhere between the two. Have you considered the Integrity line from Marvin (Fiberglass) with their wood interior. You can keep the functionality of changing color, however, the paint will hold up better on the fiberglass window and the fiberglass window will probably last forever. What type of tile roof were you considering? Feel free to look me up for more information. |
Thanks for the response. I did look into the Integrity line. The Marvin rep did mention that the paint will bond to the fiberglass, but again he couldn't tell me the approx life of painting the Integrity line. That made me uncomfortable. In addition, the Integrity line does not offer brick mould, which we may want on the front of the house in particular. For the roof, we are probably looking at Monier Life Tile, Tejas Espańa. We have seen some houses where they mix different colors, so we have mostly dark orange, but then some light orange and even some green dappled through there. That's the look we like best. My question with the windows is still how long the paint is expected to last (either wood or fiberglass). It's so odd how the responses from the Marvin rep to the painter are so vastly different! I may contact some of our builder's references and ask them how their wood windows are holding up. (Since that's what our builder normally installs). Thanks so much for your feedback and thoughts. |
this is what oi would recommend, prime again after filling any nail holes with a QUALITY OIL PRIMER, Benjamin Moore, Pittsburg, Sherman Williams etc(no box or store brands)then top coat with 2 coats of a QUALITY LATEX top coat and i see no reason you will not get 12-15 years from the paint. The key is quality paint and plenty of it. |
Select the metal clad wood window product for long lasting durability. The metal can always be repainted in the future (just like the fiberglass or wood). In CO, we can expect a quality exterior paint finish on wood to remain protective for approximately 2-8 years, depending on sun exposure. However, the sun exposure aspects are more intense at our mountain elevations than in TX. Another very important consideration in the clad-wood vs. all-wood window discussion is the additional structural integrity offered in a properly designed clad-wood window. The extruded aluminum acts as a component to adding strength to the wood joints (particularly in the sash construction). Marvin is a very well designed product when the proper use of cladding is considered, as is Eagle and Kolbe. Fiberglass window construction shouldn't even be considered, unless the discussion is in regards to energy efficiency; Plastics and fiberglass conduct much less, but are also not as durable as metals. Additionally, metals will paint just as easily as fiberglass or wood. Your concern about being stuck with a paint color, when choosing clad-wood windows, is unfounded. The only disadvantage to field-painting clad-wood windows is that the paint will degrade in the same time frame as painting an all-wood window, so you would lose the "low-maintenance" benefit of the clad-wood window after you have decided to change the color in the future. Consider the added structural integrity offered by some clad-wood windows, and the fact that the all-wood windows are likely the same price as the clad-wood. If there is a difference in price, think of the cost savings each time you don't have to paint your clad-wood windows, until that time comes when you decide to change the color. Select the clad-wood windows, if repainting is your only concern. |
Thanks for the feedback. Getting confirmation that aluminum clad can be painted helped. It's not that we want to paint them, we were just hesitant to be stuck with the color forever, if it became out of style. I am firmly decided to go with clad now. I was finally able to see a house with the sage green Marvin clad color that we were considering. It looked really great! Color choices was a major decision in the clad or wood choice for us. Today, I met with an Eagle rep. They offer a lot more colors, and I like their two-tone and three-tone options available at the same price. I'm waiting for the quote from Eagle beforing making my final decision on brand. Eagle definetely has more color choices, but since I'm happy with a Marvin color, that won't be a major factor. After a lot of driving around looking at houses, we also decided that paying for the brick mould option (at least for the front windows) is worth it for us. They give the houses a more vintage/classic look. I noticed that my original posting had a typo in the subject posting...sorry! It should have been, "New Custom Home: Clad-Wood or Wood? How long does paint last on wood?" |

Couponers are coming to your business because of a relationship they have with a third party; however, this is the chance to build your own relationship with them. It may be tempting to simply leave a sign-in sheet at your front desk for them to fill out on their own, but consider this an opportunity to win them over with your stellar customer service. Be friendly! After you've welcomed your new client, ask if you can include her contact information on your mailing list for future specials and events. You can easily add info into your computer via your customer relationship management (CRM) program or spreadsheet. If you have one available, you could even encourage clients to fill out their own information on a tablet device. Regardless of how you log the info, be sure to capture your new client's name, e-mail address and telephone number for future outreach.
After their visit, follow up with couponers to establish yourself as their go-to service provider. Give them an opportunity to rate their experience either via survey or an online review site. Offer them another promo, such as a thank-you offer designed for new clients—a holiday special, product discount or combo services. Encourage them to follow you on your social media sites, enticing them with exclusive deals offered just to this particular audience. Encourage clients to join your loyalty program or bring a friend next time for a joint discount.

"A great classic brought to life on audio"
I spend a lot of time with my daughter listening to audio books. This is one of our favorites. The narrator reads well with no strange pronunciations or annoying inflections. I love it when the narrator is so good that the listening experience flows without any glitches from something annoying that the listener has to consciously ignore.
The story is a classic from my childhood and it still grasps interest of young readers today.
If you're tempted at all you should get it. In my opinion you won't be sorry.
"Amazing Book"
It was a great book and the reader was great as well I loved the part when they escaped out of NIMH
"Reconnect to a Classic"
After watching some of the wildlife in my own backyard this Fall, and now Winter, I was inspired to revisit one of my fonder literary memories as a child. Thus, i sought out, and found, Mrs. FRISBY and the Rats of NIMH. The production quality is stunning, and Ms. Curuso animatedly narrates this iconic tale in a way that is is very appealing to all ages. It's an engaging performance without over-doing "the theatrics". A recording I am sure to revisit, and recommend to everyone.
"uneven sound"
We would most certainly try another book, but only if the audio was sorted. Ms. Caruso raises and drops her voice which makes listening to it frustrating. Lots of up/down of the volume.
My children, especially the 5-year-old, loved it.
"Was fun."
Well as a fan of The Secret of NIMH growing up, my favorite part of actually listening to the book was all the extra details I never knew of that they didn't put in the movie.
The story of NIMH was the most memorable moment for me. Very interesting and entertaining.
I wasn't able to listen to this all in one sitting. I don't think I could have sat still this long.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

After a hot & humid week in NYC, I was thrilled to return home to the cooler weather. While it isn't time to pull out the sweaters & boots just yet, I am starting to layer with lighter pieces & trying out a different mix of prints & textures. This red top from The Impeccable Pig is the perfect basic blouse for wearing with jeans & a scarf on the weekend or dressing up a bit as I did here. If you haven't already, check out the new fall items in their online store...I've got my eye on this printed tunic and this chevron top (use code NEWARRIVAL15 to get 15% off - today only).
What I'm wearing:

Splat! 50,000 pounds of rotten tomatoes, costumes and beer at Colorado Tomato Battle
The Colorado Tomato Battle at Dick's Sporting Goods Park Saturday was a mash-up of childhood frivolity and big-kid fun. Though the structure was more formal than the old Tomato Wars between Coloradans and Texans at Twin Lakes, the result was the same: utter chaos and tomato soup. Nathan Federico

Denver's event kicked off a season of Tomato Battles that will splatter the U.S. this summer, and I'm going to take you into the heat of the action. Put on your festive costumes, find some safety goggles and get ready for beer, bands and a tomato fight.Nathan Federico My battle uniform goes against instinct; it's fight or FIGHT.
Like other Tomato Battle events, the actual fight was preceded by tailgating, boozing, eating, dancing, singing and general merriment. Founders and organizers Max Kraner and Clint Nelson envisioned a fun and fierce event that mixes Spain's famous Tomatina and Germany's Oktoberfest into a saucy day of beer, bands and tomatoes. To get into the spirit of the day and a possible chance to win the costume contest, I dressed up in my armor (or lack thereof) of choice: a foxy football fighter. I left my house feeling strong and confident and sporting a swimsuit under my jersey, but the next few hours surprised even me.
My first glimpses of the event started in the parking lot. Everywhere I went, groups prepared for battle by applying the finishing touches to their costumes and, of course, enjoying a beer or two...or three...or four...before entering the arena. In true sportsmanship, I conducted a lightning-speed meet-and-greet while secretly flouting my ferocity and testing my competition. Though the Tomato Battle doesn't really have teams or a winner, I wanted to gain some allies and feel for potential threats. I quickly realized that everyone was a potential threat, especially the coordinated groups. Nathan Federico Showing off my ferocity to tailgaters.
As a lone ranger, I was going to have to watch my back, front and sides at all times, but getting my face out there might keep me alive for a little longer.Nathan Federico A gang of overall-clad rabblerousers is about to pull an Alice in Wonderland by painting their booties red.

If you dont live underneath some sort of enormous rock, then im sure youve heard of The Chelsea Boot. Many designers are picking up this fabulous ankle boot and putting their own little twist on the style. But for me, Madewell ranks in first when it comes to this boot. Plus, the actual name of the shoe is The Chelsea Boot in this store. Check it out. A little pricey, but made…extremely well.
Our take on the time-tested Chelsea boot in supple Italian leather that will just get better with age. A true boot icon first designed in the early 1800s in England, it has been favored by everyone from Queen Victoria to '60s-era London mods. Great news considering they will never go out of style. Please note: When you select your size below, "H" equals a half size.

The family suggests memorials to Healthcare Access, 1920 Moodie Road, Lawrence, 66046 or Douglas County Visiting Nurses Association and Hospice Care, 200 Maine, 3rd Floor., Lawrence, 66044. Published in the Lawrence (KS) Journal-World, May 21, 2008. For a more complete tribute to him, please access:http://www2.ljworld.com/obits/2008/may/21/wesley_unruh/ (Thanks to Bill, N1HWC) A service to celebrate the life of Wesley Paul Unruh will be held at 3pm on 7 June at the Unitarian Fellowship of Lawrence. Wes died at home surrounded by family on Saturday, May 17, 2008, following a courage five-month battle with acute leukemia. He was born on September 9, 1933 in Champa, India, the son of William F. and Pauline Unruh. His boyhood was spent in Iowa and Kansas. He earned a Bachelor's degree in Physics from Bethel College in Newton, KS followed by a Master's and Doctorate degrees in physics from the University of Kansas. Dr Unruh began his career as a researcher with Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, subsequently taught physics at Ohio University, and was a professor and researcher in the Physics Department at the University of Kansas for fourteen years. The last ten years of his career were spent in research at Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico. During this time, among other projects, he was able to pursue his particular interest in detecting and analyzing tornado formation. He retired in 1994 and returned to live in Lawrence. Wes had a wide range of interests in addition to his professional career, AS a young man he was a violinist and later studied flute. He became a ship-certified ham radio operator, was n amateur astronomer, loved sailing and canoeing, built an extensive model railroad, and had a deep appreciation to both jazz and classical music. He maintained membership in a number of professional organizations. Survivors include his wife, Ellie, Lawrence, with whom he shared fifty years if marriage; three daughters; Amy Unruh, Austin, TX; Julie Unruh, Brooklyn, NY; and Ellen Unruh, Canberra, Australia; a brother Will, Palm Beach, FL; two sons-in-law; and two grandsons, Conor and Quinn, sons of Ellen Unruh and her husband Peter Brandon. Wes was especially proud of all of his family. DCARC JUNE '99 NEWSLETTER (Douglas County ARC) www.w0uk.net/newsletter/JUN-19 - [Cached] Published on: 6/1/1999 Last Visited: 12/1/2007 A CONVERSATION WITH WES UNRUH, NØWU One of them is Wes Unruh. I had the opportunity to visit with Wes for an evening at his home here in Lawrence. Wes has been a ham radio operator for quite a few years. Wes got his first license, a Novice class license, when he was attending Bethel College in 1953. His first contact was on 80 meters, using a long wire and a home made transmitter and receiver. Back then the Novice class license was a one-year-only entry class license, and it lapsed due to difficulties he had with his code speed. Wes graduated, went to graduate school, and became involved with building his career and family. Around 1973 Wes was visiting his brother in Florida on vacation. It seems that his brother had a shortwave set and Wes had some time to play with it. In scanning across the bands he found that he could understand the code just fine on the 40 meter Novice band. Later that year Wes, by chance, happened upon one other long time club member (Bob Rainbolt, WB0AUQ) during a Field Day outing at Wells Overlook. As a result of that Field Day encounter Wes took license exams up through Advanced thus renewing his interest in the hobby. His first contact with his new license was using a wire strung out the screen window from their house on Arkansas Street. Wes was thoroughly pleased to have a contact with someone on only a couple of watts! Wes had a number of jobs over the years, including a position at Bell Labs (his first job in his field outside school), his position as professor in the Physics Department at the University of Kansas, and a research and development job at the National Laboratory in Los Alamos NM. Wes also apprenticed as a radio officer in the Merchant Marine. This was an alternative career exploration that would not have been possible except for his prior involvement in Amateur Radio, and his code skills. Through it all, Wes has been very involved in amateur radio. He had a repeater in the area at his house (when he lived on 6th street). Wes made a number of important friends through the hobby, some of whom made a profound impact on his life. In addition to his many significant friends in Lawrence, he had a regular sked with one friend in particular, who he found to be a delightful conversationalist. They had a lot in common in additional to their interest in radio, and they spent many hours talking with each other using CW in a weekly sked. Wes eventually found out that his friend was physically disabled, having only mobility in part of one hand. This really taught Wes an important lesson about people. According to Wes, "The code is a wonderful leveler between people. It doesn't give you any clues as to the race, background, or physical capacity of the sender. That friendship really changed me in that it taught me that you can strive for excellence and learning no matter what your situation." It is clear to anyone that knows Wes that he is definitely one who strives for excellence. This friend of Wes' pushed him to upgrade his license to extra class. They both went to take their exam together and both passed. Over the years, Wes has found "amazing interesting people at code speeds above 25 to 30 wpm." He finds the people who work the code at those speeds to have a great respect for curiosity and learning. He feels that they often are above average in consideration and understanding. Wes, thank you for the opportunity to spend an evening learning from you at your home. |

Okay, my peony blooms from last week led me to believe I received a Mons. Jules Elie plant from Walmart as opposed to the packaged Sorbet variety. However, now that some of the side buds have bloomed, I'm thinking maybe it is Sorbet! These side buds are less full and have a more prominent white layer than last week's blooms.
I updated my flickr account with these Sorbet looking blooms, they are a lot different than the ones I labeled as Mons. Jules Elie last week...(reference link). |
Here is a link that might be useful: My Sorbet Peony Pic
Follow-Up Postings:
Thanks for posting pictures of your peonies! Can't help you identify, but love looking. Mine are still full of buds ready to burst open!! I'm anxious with anticipation!! Judye |
It's fun watching them grow and then finally bloom! I'm pretty confident it is Sorbet, but I'm 99% sure Walmart messed up on the package they labeled Edulis Superba, since mine bloomed completely white with just a few petals edged/tinged with red. Even so, I am happy with the white; eventually it will provide a nice contrast to the pinks. I wish I had a better camera to take pictures with other than my camera phone. Hope you can post pics of your peonies. This morning I brought in a stem that had 3 side buds on it. In about an hour they opened up; it's fun to bring some inside to enjoy. |

You took those with a camera phone??? Nice job! I'm not sure about the id, either. I've only got one peony open right now. It's an unnamed supposedly coral colored one. It's really pretty, so I guess the name doesn't really matter. I've got lots more waiting to open. I'll try and get some shots and post them on the gallery. Every year, I seem to see at least one more I gotta have. Your pics of Angel Cheeks makes me think....gotta get it! Thanks for sharing your photos, they're beautiful! |
flowerluvr, Did you take some pictures of this year's blooms? |

Went out my back door one evening,I saw this big bird going by ,crows were chasing and screaming.My husband says thats not a hawk,its an eagle.It turned its head.It was.Was smallerbthan I thought they were.Unless it was a young one. I just always thought they were big.
We have a p[air of hawks that nested edge of our property in the trees.The past few days theyve been yelling alot.Im thinking thier young hatched. |

How cool Bulldinkie! That would be neat if they were nesting around your area. We have a huge nature park about 25 miles from here, and bald eagles are finally nesting there. One day, I saw one flying just overhead, when I was driving close to there. I too found it smaller than I thought it would be. Maybe you'll be seeing more of them now! |
- Posted by prairie_love z3/4 ND (My Page) on Wed, Jul 20, 05 at 10:51
If it's head was white, then it was not a young one. Bald eagles don't develop the white head and tail until they are about three years old. |
The young are often bigger, at least heavier than adults. You need perspective to get an idea of size. When you see one flying with a Red-tailed Hawk you'll know what I mean. |

If We Build It They Will Come
Lately I have been getting a lot of inquiries from friends and acquaintances that have seen the success we have had online and want to start their own E-Commerce business. Many come to me for advice on where to go for website hosting, how to design a site and most importantly what to sell. What's funny is they all think that if they just build a website and throw a couple of items up the money will just start flowing in, like magic.
When they first come to me and they ask, "What do I need to do to get started?" it always makes me scratch my head and say…"well, that is a loading question!" I think many have seen the late night infomercials with people claiming to make $25,000 a month while on vacation. For all of us seasoned e-commerce merchants we all know real vacations away from the site are few and far between. I try to explain that there are many variables within E-Commerce. Just because you build a website and have a couple of items to sell it doesn't guarantee that you will be successful. Maybe you will see success after a few years of hard work building up your business, but it won't be instant. Sadly, they don't want to wait that long. They want that instant gratification. Like many of us starting out we didn't take a payroll until about three years into this venture. All of our cash flow was put back into building the business.
Most of these inquiries are from people that have no idea what they want to sell online; they just want an online business so they can be like the people on the infomercials. Many have told me that they want to copy my business model. They want to know everything from who my suppliers are to how we do our SEO. This is difficult when the person is your friend, or relative and you refuse to tell them. I have had very negative reactions from people when I refuse to give them this information. I want to help other people starting out, but I don't feel it is right that I should help someone that will directly compete with my business.
Do any of you have this same issue? I would love to hear how you handle it.
Comments ( 6 )
I don't think anyone has actually asked me to help them set up their own website. My problem has been that when they hear that I sell online, my friends want me to sell things for them. They've heard these stories about items selling for big money on eBay, etc. I usually have to explain that I'm not a consignor, I only sell things for a specific market and I have no idea what their item is worth. I had a fellow ask me once to sell his boat online. He said "That's what you do, right? Sell things online?"
Sure, but not boats! -
What you could do is find an 'intro to e-commerce' continuing ed course at a local college that you like and refer your friends and family to them, as "I only know what works for my business, and I'm sure yours will be different, there's a really good course at xyz continuing ed that will probably be much more applicable to what you want to do. Here, let's sign you up for it…" If they're not willing to invest a day or two and some money into starting their business, then they're really not serious about it.
And it strikes me over and over again how the startup marketing budget is underestimated over and over again. Leading to e-commerce websites with all bells and whistles you can imagine without any budget left to promote it.
Build it and they will come indeed. -
Pardon the self-promo, but after building successful e-commerce businesses, we created a complete soup-to-nuts program to help online entrepreneurs – especially startups – learn how to build a profitable business, step by step. So many people really are not well informed in things such as business organization, banking/merchant accounts, marketing, PPC, product management, product sourcing, etc., etc. We build our clients a custom Web site, of course, but the primary focus is on teaching them how to run a successful business.
For established retailers, we have a program where we actually manage their ecommerce for them. For similar reasons: most online stores do not achieve their goals because of a lack of knowledge and time.
And, Tom, you're entirely correct: most do underestimate the cost of start-up. Although starting up online is often much less than building a brick-and-mortar, there are costs involved.
As for us, we built our first e-commerce business (for us to own/operate) after building Web sites for almost 10 years. We felt it was time for us to find out if we really knew what we had been telling our clients.
Turned out we knew much less than we thought. However, we did know marketing and business management, and combined with a lot of hard work and mistakes, we built a very successful ecommerce business we later sold.
The short of it is, there are not a lot of great "one-stop" resources for online entrepreneurs, although I think PE does a fair job of collecting a good amount of good information. I read it regularly!
Hi Novusweb,
How do I get in contact with you for help with my ecomerce site? -
Great article! I get 3 or 4 requests for "help" each week. The first thing I do is listen carefully with respect. If the idea is good, why not help? Offer a partnership. If the person cannot fully articulate an idea, then I try a few of the following:
1. Suggest that they look closely at their own hobbies and find a niche. What products are hard to find? How can you do better? Then I say, "let's talk when you come up with a business plan."
2. Suggest blogging. There are zero barriers to entry. Good blogs can be monitized. Bad blogs will die a painless death. It seems to me that blogging is simpler than starting and operating an online retail site.You have to be honest with friends and family. Tell them the truth: e-commerce is hard work and a huge time investment. Frankly, sometimes, even I wonder if it is worth it.

This past weekend, a huge thunderstorm hit Chicago's North Coast Music Festival, fucking up a bunch of Passion Pit's gear and forcing the band to turn a few Canadian shows into DJ sets instead. But they got everything working or replaced in time to play their "Constant Conversations" on the Late Show With David Letterman last night. And they also became the latest participants in the Live On Letterman webcast series, playing a full hour-long set at Letterman's Ed Sullivan Theater. Watch the video of that whole set below.
We'll post footage of the actual on-air performance as soon as it shows up online.

Jazz Instruments
Jazz music uses specific instruments in a characteristic way, and to really appreciate the musical style an understanding of jazz instruments is important. Jazz musicians also use a lingo all their own. If you're in the groove, you're really getting down with the music, and every jazzer owns an axe, their instrument, and has their own styling to bring the music to life. By the way, your axe just might be your voice that is used to sing ballads or to skat, riff or improvise. All jazz musicians have a repertoire of jazzer standards, including "Take the 'A' Train," "Satin Doll," "'Round Midnight," "Lullaby of Birdland" and "Take Five," just to name a few.
- Bass. String bass, also known as upright bass or double bass, is a standard jazz instrument. A list of famous acoustic, upright jazz bassists includes Ron Carter, Jeff Sarli and Red Mitchell. Jazz bassists are infamous for various musical stylings, including improvising or taking a solo during the performance. Famous double bass players of the 1930s brought the instrument front and center in the jazz trios and quintets. Charles Mingus, Oscar Pettiford and Jimmy Blanton get the nod for bringing double bass into prominence as jazz instruments.
- Trumpet. Jazz trumpets are manufactured in various keys, including Bb and C trumpets and the specialty trumpet instruments, the piccolo and the pocket trumpet. While some listeners lump cornets into the trumpet category, cornets is similar, but has a smaller shape creating a different sound than the trumpet. Famous jazz instrument trumpet players include the late, oh so great, Maynard Ferguson, Arturo Sandoval, Wynton Marsalis and Freddie Hubbard.
- Piano. Early jazz piano featured the jazz instrument in a stride style that used the left hand in an alternating pattern while the upper hand improvised. While most jazzers used a piano, some sets allowed the pianist to take a break while the rest of the trio or quintet strolled their way through a tune. Piano can be used in solos and can also take over an entire performance, when a master, such as noted piano jazzers Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, Bud Powell or Duke Ellington, take over the keyboards.
- Saxophone, aka sax. All saxophones are not equal in the genre of jazz instruments. The most common are the baritone, tenor, soprano and alto, although other types of saxes make a rare appearance in jazz performances. The difference, of course, is the music key and the tone. A group of famous jazz sax musicians have reputations for really knowing how to blow. The list of famous jazzers who play sax include Charlie Parker, aka "The Bird," John Coltrane, Coleman Randolph Hawkins, Lester Prez Young and Carlos "Don" Wesley Byas, all, unfortunately, departed from the planet without leaving way too little evidence of their musical sax-playing genius.
- Guitars. Stringed jazz instruments include lead, rhythm and bass guitars. Electric bass riffs are similar to upright bass, but the impact of the two instruments on the jazz piece is decidedly different. Noted jazz guitarists include early performers Django Reinhardt, who performed before the invention of the electric guitar, to more contemporary players including George Benson, Pat Metheny, Charlie Byrd and Joe Pass. A list of more contemporary jazzer guitarists feature John Scofield and John McLaughlin, as well as Stanley Jordan and Bill Frisell. Famous electric jazz bassists feature the late and stupendous Jaco Pastorius, who played withe Weather Report, as well as others, and the late great Paul Chambers, studio and performance artist extraordinaire. Some bassists, including James Jamerson, play both double bass and electric jazz bass.

$$$ Move to the other City [TBP]
$$$ Timothy Sykes wrote his book on how he made his millions. Have you read it and what did you think of it?
$$$ Who needs a job? [craigslist]
Archive for August 2008
New York Times business columnist Joe Nocera is unambiguous about his pick.
Although Lehman has been the number one rated equity research shop (again, according to Institutional Investor), that just shows how flawed such ratings are. Everybody on Wall Street knows that Sanford Bernstein does by far the best equity research on the Street. It tends to hire former industry players like Brad Hintz, who was once Lehman Brothers' chief financial officer, to cover the industries they were once part of. Mr. Hintz; Craig Moffett, the lead telecommunications and cable analyst; Mr. Sacconaghi, who is the technology axe; and a raft of others give Bernstein's research a depth — an intelligence, really — that no other firm can match.
So who do you think is the best research shop? We'll take nominations in comments and put up a poll once we have enough suitable candidates.
So it turns out that John McCain picked Tina Fey Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.
"Sarah Palin" is probably the most searched for name on the internet right now. In the minutes after news of her selection spread, popular websites like the Drudge Report went down. The reason for this is relatively simple: most of us don't know anything about this woman who John McCain wants to be his running mate.
The one thing we do know is that she's been a strong proponent of drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Reserve and wants to see more off-shore drilling. In fact, she's said that McCain, who opposed drilling in ANWR, is "wrong on that issue." It certainly seems that Republicans are lining themselves up as the party of greater oil supplies.
After the jump, we present a CNBC segment with Palin advocating drilling in ANWR.
Anyone need a job? You'd think the matter of canning 1,500 employees yesterday would've meant LEH not being up for much in the way of new hires for a while but you'd think wrong. They are back in the saddle and eager to have you and yours, Thursday afternoon's gutting having created more than enough space to stretch your shit out. The following listing was added this morning to a certain b-school's jobs board. Act now, before they go under.

Q&A on The Veepstakes: The Race to Be America's Number Two
By DealbreakerNo American parent has ever looked at their son or daughter and said, "You know, I hope you one day end up being Vice President". And yet, for all the lack of glamour the vice presidency has in the public mind, speculation over who will be chosen by a presidential candidate to be a running mate is the Olympic decathlon of talking heads, political pundits, and guys posting on blogs from their basements at 2am.
But how does this process even happen? Why do people like Katherine Sebelius or Tim Pawlenty get their names mentioned as potential running mates but people like Steve Rothman or Dave Heineman get passed over like yesterday's lunchmeat? And does any of it give us an idea of how the candidate on the top of the ticket will govern?
To get some answers, we sent asked Dan Gerstein, someone who has a lot of familiarity with a vice presidential campaign. Gerstein worked with Senator Joe Lieberman for a decade and was Lieberman's national spokesman for the 2000 VP campaign. He was also the brains behind Lieberman's successful re-election in the heated 2006 Senate race in Connecticut. Gerstein was written several op-ed pieces for the Wall Street Journal (including this one on Wednesday) and appears on MSNBC, Fox News, and NY1. Gerstein now supports Barack Obama for President though Lieberman was considered to be one of the top contenders as John McCain's running mate.
PartyGaming poker slowdown prompts downgrades (Reuters)
This year's slowdown in Las Vegas casinos was easy to see coming: Casinos aren't really gambling houses anymore, they're resorts, and resorts are vulnerable to economic cycles. But maybe people are, wait for it, in a less gambling mood. PartyGaming, the European online casino, says poker is soft. As in, people are playing it less. As in they're board of it (maybe). Or maybe they're just tired of losing. Or maybe televised poker is in decline, and fewer people imagine themselves to be the second coming of Doyle Brunson. Anyway, something to watch.
GM says automakers deserve $50 billion in federal loans: report (Reuters)
Ostensibly the money will be used for alt-energy research. Or at least fuel efficiency. That Detroit would want these Federal loans is totally predictable. In fact we've seen a lot of folks chattering about just this in the last few days. Judging by the political rhetoric we've heard from both candidates, this certainly sounds like something the next President could accept.
Microsoft to Acquire Greenfield Online Including Its European Subsidiary Ciao, a Leading European Price Comparison and Shopping Site
Interesting deal: MIcrosoft is buying Greenfield Online and then selling of Greenfield's core business: online surveys. Instead they're mainly buying it for Greenfield's European comparison search business. Not clear who they're selling the surveys business to.
Worker Assets Shrink at Fannie and Freddie (NYT)
Kind of obvious: Workers at Fannie and Freddie have seen their savings take a major hit. That's how' it's been at plenty of other major financial firms since the industry went into its downdraft. But the article starts off this way: "Fannie Mae's workers had $116 million in the employee stock ownership plan at the end of 2006. Today, it's more like $17.5 million. Ouch." That's a big drop, but, um… $116 million in 2006? That a very tiny sliver of the company owned by the employees. Granted it's not a bank like Bear Stearns or Lehman, but maybe it'd be better if employees had a little more skin in the game. Then again, more evidence that these ostensibly private corporations are more akin to gummint bureaus than anything else. And of course, high levels of employee ownership hasn't really done wonders anywhere else lately.
Growing Cynicism Around Going Green (PC World)
More evidence dribbles in that Green is not in. This time it's about "green" energy-efficient IT. There have also been reports of Priuses (Prii, har!) becoming available. And somewhere else we read that green branding was losing its effectiveness. Just some stuff to watch out for.

I've been following the "Am I Pretty?" phenomena that hit the news last week. It's mighty disturbing on many levels:
- It's disturbing to see that young girls need to ask an unknown group of people for reassurance.
- It's sad to realize that teens are forgetting that the celebrities they so want to look like were once teenagers themselves – and they looked like normal teenagers
- It's unnerving to know that kids as young as 11 are gaining access to YouTube and posting such videos, unbeknownst to their parents
- And it's unsettling that so many angry, nasty venomous comments are posted in response
Image Bombardment
When we are bombarded with more than 5,000 images per day, younger girls may not be able to filter out some of the images.
What does that look like to a tween or teen? A few years ago, Dove did their take on it:
So what's a parent to do?
According to Renee Hobbs, EdD, associate professor of communications at Temple University, "the average teen girl gets about 180 minutes of media exposure daily and only about 10 minutes of parental interaction a day."
To can help combat the imagery that our children are being bombarded with each day:
- As mothers, we're the first line of defense, but we're all guilty of not watching what we say around our daughters. How many times have we all made a remark about not being happy with our bodies or needing to go on a diet? We need to remember to keep our comments about our OWN body images in check around our daughters and reflect a positive body image. Our daughters are listening, even though we don't think so.
- Dads play an important role, too. Remarks can play a role in her interpretation of what she should look like too. Keep body image remarks on a positive level.
- Emphasize healthy eating and exercise.
- When you're watching a TV show together, talk about how the celebrities and actresses look. Emphasize fit models.
- Develop a closer on-line relationship with your daughter. Discuss what sites she visits and her social media habits. Discuss the "Am I Pretty?" story and get her take on it.
- Reassure her about her body and help build her self-esteem.
- Most of all, just love her for who she is.
