Spring has landed and we celebrated the first weekend of Spring with some Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream. What better way to start the season than with a little something sweet. Jeni's Ice Cream Shop finally snuggled into La La Land, Los Felix to be exact, with a huge Grand Opening…free ice cream for all from 7-10pm on opening day only. Of course life for me has changed (I'm June's mama, now!) and I couldn't stand in a 2 hour line with her, so no free ice cream for me, but surely made sure I got there before the weekend was over. Had to pay, but worth every bite. The ice cream is so darn yummy!! If you are not in a city with an Jeni's ice cream shop, then order online here or find in your local market. It's pricey, but a splurge every now and then is just fine.
Have you guys tried Blue Apron meals? Blue Apron is a food delivery service, based out of New York, that delivers farm fresh ingredients and original recipes so you can prepare the meals at home. It seems to be all over my Facebook and instagram timeline recently that it makes me feel like I'm the only one who hasn't been given my free trial. What's up with that? Everyone raves about it's ease, convenience and of course, delicious meals. It sometimes makes me think part of the deal with Blue Apron requires you to share your meal on social media or maybe you can't use their service anymore.
I've also come across a few local (Atlanta) meal delivery service companies. Garnish & Gather offers locally sourced and organic ingredients, for pick-up or delivery, to make a newly created recipe by local chefs.
And then there is PeachDish. They also feature local Georgia ingredients but unlike G&G, they offer nationwide delivery.
Even though I've yet to try any of these services or their seemingly life altering concept, I think its pretty neat that you can get all your ingredients pre portioned for the meal you are cooking to reduce waste. As someone who hates to throw away food, I know that buying ingredients for a recipe and not knowing how or when you will use the leftovers again can be a turn off for folks.
Honestly, I've never had an interest in trying the service because I love finding my own recipes, I love going to the grocery store and all in all, enjoy the whole process of cooking. But my interest is more than peeked at this point. I might not become a full on member but I'm itching to get my feet wet in the meal delivery waters. So I ask…

Help, repotting, is it too much stress?
I just got a new meyer lemon tree last Friday and it came with a pot and soil but the soil has been damp since Saturday. I did the pencil test and stuck the pencil way down and it comes out wet. Would it cause too much stress to the tree to re-pot now?
You have the weigh the stress between re-potting versus having continually wet feet. To me, it's a clear decision - wet feet will kill your tree eventually. Re-potting rarely does unless you're brutal with your re-potting technique :-) I would re-pot and be as gentle as you can, removing as much of the heavy potting material as you can, then pot up in a nice porous potting mix. You'll have some transplant shock, but this is spring, the tree is normally trying to push out flush, so it should recover nicely for you.

Danger of bringing up 'a little princess': Top head teacher warns parents who constantly praise daughters risk raising girls who 'can't handle failure'
- Nicole Chapman, head of leading girls' grammar school, says some families treat daughters as if they 'can do no wrong'
- 'Being constantly praised is not necessarily a good thing,' she says
- Creates girls who won't take risks because they are are afraid of failure
Warning: Headteacher Nicole Chapman says some parents praise their daughters too much
Parents are turning their daughters into 'little princesses' who can't take criticism, the head teacher of a leading girls' grammar school warned yesterday.
Nicole Chapman said some families treat daughters as if they 'can do no wrong' and constantly shower them with praise and presents,
As a result, many lack the 'resilience' to deal with failure or criticism, she said.
Mrs Chapman, who is head of one of the best selective schools in the country, spoke out ahead of a conference at her school in Chelmsford, Essex - attended by parents and other school leaders - about educating teenage girls.
'What I try to address with my parents here is the concept of what we call the little princess, which is one where a child, once she's satisfied her parents' ambitions to get into the school, she can do no wrong,' she said,
'She's constantly praised - and that is not necessarily a good thing.'
Mrs Chapman, who has a grown-up son, said that 'the little princess' always wants to please and gets 'a lot of rewards' for her troubles.
She said: 'For some of them it's just praise, but with others they can have more or less what they want.
'Their parents shower them with presents.'
She said some parents 'never exposed' their daughters to any negative feedback.
This made girls into 'perfectionists' who would not take risks in case they failed.
Instead of excessive praise, she said, parents should ensure their daughters were 'strong individuals' who could cope with failure and grow up to be leaders.
'Our girls are bright and therefore, they will be leaders,' she said.
'As a leader, you're not a princess. As a leader, you've got to have strength, belief, resilience.
'You have to have the right principles - you must be principled, but you must have knowledge.
'All those things don't necessarily go with being a princess because a princess is a bit fragile.
'A princess receives information, learns it, regurgitates it, but never gets truly challenged.'
'Perfectionists': Mrs Chapman said some parents have 'never exposed' their daughters to risk meaning they are afraid of failure (file photo)
Mrs Chapman is head of the 900-pupil Chelmsford County High School for Girls, where 88 per cent of pupils pass their GCSEs with As or A*s last summer.
Her comments were echoed by Dr JoAnn Deak, author of Girls Will Be Girls: Raising Confident and Courageous Daughters.
Speaking at the conference yesterday, she said many parents 'tend to go overboard on praise', making girls 'feel precious' and that they're 'the centre of the universe'.
Praise should be 'specific and earned' instead, she said.
Referring to daughters, the American psychologist said: 'As a parent, you'll obviously offer general praise to her sometimes, but if you do it too often, your opinion will not be valued.
'Remember too, that the more she focuses on self, the more selfish she will become; whereas the more she focuses on doing and on others, the more she will increase her self esteem.'
Conference: The comments by Mrs Chapman came ahead of a conference at her school in Chelmsford, Essex, about educating teenage girls
Earlier this month a leading psychologist warned that praising children with phrases such as 'well done darling' could damage their confidence.
Stephen Grosz says 'empty praise' such as 'you're so clever' or 'you're such an artist' could cause children to be unhappy as they feel they cannot live up to the false expectations, and can even hinder their progress at school.
Mr Grosz - who has practised as a psychoanalyst, a type of psychologist, for 25 years - cites research showing that children who were heavily praised were likely to perform worse in maths problems and even tended to lie about their results.
Instead he advises parents and teachers to bestow compliments less frequently and use phrases that congratulate children for 'trying really hard'.

The primary impact of concern in the event of an accident or an intentional attack on a nuclear power plant is the same: major off-site releases of radioactive material. This section examines potential safety65 and security66 impacts arising from the operation of nuclear power plants in the United States. The following discussion is drawn from a recent National Research Council report on the safety and security of commercial spent nuclear fuel storage (NRC, 2006).
There are two potential sources for off-site radioactive releases: the nuclear fuel in the reactor core and in used fuel storage. An accident or terrorist attack that disrupts cooling of the fuel could damage the fuel and release radioactive material to the environment. The fuel in the reactor core of a nuclear plant generates substantial quantities of heat and radioactivity. The plant's cooling system is designed to remove this heat from the core so it can be used for electricity generation. A loss of coolant would cause temperatures in the core to increase, even after the reactor is shut down.67 At about 1000°C, the fuel cladding68 would begin to oxidize rapidly in the presence of air or steam (if the core did not remain covered with water). This exothermic reaction releases large quantities of heat that would further raise temperatures. At about 1800°C, the cladding and fuel would begin to melt, releasing radioactive gases and aerosols into the core. These radioactive materials could be released to the surrounding environment if the reactor pressure vessel69 and the containment70 were to fail. Such releases could endanger local populations and contaminate the environment.
An accident or terrorist attack on a used-fuel pool could have similar con-
"Safety" is defined here as measures that would protect nuclear facilities against failure, damage, human error, or other accidents that would disperse radioactivity into the environment.
"Security" is defined here as measures to protect nuclear facilities against sabotage, attacks, or theft.
This "heat" is the product of radioactive decay in the fuel.
"Fuel cladding" is a thin-walled metal tube that forms the outer jacket of a nuclear fuel rod. It prevents corrosion of the nuclear fuel and the release of fission products into the coolant.
The "reactor pressure vessel" is a thick-walled cylindrical steel vessel enclosing the reactor core in a nuclear power plant.
A "containment building" is a steel or reinforced concrete structure enclosing a nuclear reactor. The containment building is typically an airtight steel structure enclosing the reactor, sealed off from the outside atmosphere and attached to a concrete shield. In the United States, the design and thickness of the containment and the shield are governed by federal regulations (10 CFR 50.55a).

Anti-Vaccine Tropes Stirring
The Disneyland measles outbreak has the anti-vaccine movement on the ropes a bit. As I and pretty much all of my colleagues at Science-Based Medicine have predicted for years, once previously contained infectious illnesses start to seriously return, public opinion will shift against the anti-vaxxers.
We are seeing more mainstream stories like this one, Mom: Family that refused vaccination put my baby in quarantine, from CNN, and this one, Vaccine deniers stick together. And now they're ruining things for everyone, from the Washington Post. As I mentioned in my earlier post, The Onion also nailed it with this satire, I Don't Vaccinate My Child Because It's My Right To Decide What Eliminated Diseases Come Roaring Back.
Of course, the cranks are unmoved. Their position is not based on a rational assessment of the evidence, and therefore evidence will not move them from their perch. What they have been doing is repeating tired anti-vaccine tropes. Unfortunately they are getting some exposure from residual false balance in the media.

Heading into this console transition my opinion was that, of all the genres that could possibly sell a new Xbox or PlayStation, sports would come in last. Despite the richer visuals and refined experiences I've seen so far, that opinion still stands. »
How EA Sports Made The Best Golfer In The World Irrelevant
The end of Tiger Woods as the face of video game golf was set in motion years ago, and it had nothing to do with Perkins waitresses or a nine-iron through the rear windshield. It had nothing to do with a two-year winless streak or a drought, now spanning five years, without a major championship. »

The Truth Is Last Year's Games Had Problems. This Year's Are...Better?
Usually, if someone wants to convince you that the video game they're making is going to be great, they tell you what they're putting in it. But what if they made nearly the same game a year ago? They have to take a different approach. »

I haven't done much to debug it yet, just wondering if it seen by someone else.
When I get a chance I'll try OTA to see if it is any different. I don't know if it is still the case, but NBC was the only "major" not transmitting out of Mt Sutro before.

Audit shows Park Rapids School District is healthy
The Park Rapids School District is earning "kudos" for the "progress made" in increasing fund balances.
"You are trending in a positive direction in all funds," Heather Johnson of Carlson Highland, a CPA firm in Fergus Falls, told the board and administration Monday. "Kudos to all of you."
The audit for the year ending June 30 shows a general fund balance of $3.3 million. This compares with $2 million in 2010, just over $1 million in 2009 and 2008 and $113,263 in 2007.

The view from the Boise area
I live near Boise, and have had an eye on this for years. Honestly, this is sort of "back burner" at the moment, but there is a MUCH bigger threat that no one seems to notice.
The Chinese and Russians and Canadians are CLAIMING UP IDAHO. You can still stake claims in this state, and I have BEGGED citizens to go stake a claim - get up to 160 acres for under $200. You don't even have to work them any more, just pay an annual fee of $125. Everyone whines about "National Forest" and "BLM" thinking they own the people's land, well they will let you have it. You just have to get off your butt and do the work.
And the Chinese and Russians and Canadians are happy to fill out the forms, and gain LEGAL RIGHT TO OUR MINERAL RESOURCES.
China is not selling any more rare earth minerals or silver, AND they are here digging up ours and taking it home.
Love or fear? Choose again with every breath.

Editors' Picks
Dewa Budjana, Hasta Karma (MoonJune)
The excellent fusion album Hasta Karma is one for which the names of the accompanists will probably be more familiar than that of the leader—at least to listeners in the United States. For his eighth solo album, Indonesian guitarist Dewa Budjana assembled an incredible band: bassist Ben Williams and drummer Antonio Sanchez (both of the Pat Metheny Unity Group) along with vibraphone icon Joe Locke. Budjana is a star in his homeland, thanks to his work with the rock band Gigi, but his profile is rising among jazz fans worldwide. Fans of '70s fusion (and Metheny) will find much to embrace on Budjana's new album. If a key criticism of fusion is that it manages to somehow dilute both jazz and rock, then this album could be cited as evidence for the counterargument that the genre successfully combines the emotional punch of rock with the complex harmonic language of jazz, merged with an expansive, "anything is possible" aesthetic. Nowhere is this more apparent than on the epic, 12-minute journey "Ruang Dialisis." The track incorporates Locke's colorful, dreamy vibes work; Sanchez's evocative cymbal splashes; Indra Lesmana's moody electric piano; a recording of Budjana's grandmother singing a traditional funeral song, her vocals digitally treated to create a ghostly effect; and a nearly two-minute section of cacophonous squall that could have been lifted from a heavy metal concert. But that noisy section is an anomaly, and that particular track is immediately followed by "Just Kidung," the first two-and-a-half minutes of which wouldn't sound out of place on a smooth-jazz radio station. Throughout the album, Budjana spices his compositions with intricate, pulse-raising fretwork that avoids mindless grandstanding. So what's next for Budjana? Earlier this year, he was in the studio with another amazing ensemble: Jack DeJohnette, Tony Levin and Gary Husband. We can't wait to hear the results.

Adam Birnbaum, Three
Of A Mind (Daedalus)
The album title Three Of A Mind nods to the close communication and empathy that pianist Adam Birnbaum has developed over the past six years working in drummer Al Foster's band alongside bassist Doug Weiss. Birnbaum recruited Weiss and Foster for this superb trio album, which accomplishes the difficult task of sounding diverse yet cohesive. The leader's seven original compositions are augmented by two of Foster's tunes: This arrangement of "Brandyn" showcases the fluidity of Birnbaum's style, while the vibrant conversation between the drummer and the pianist toward the end of "Ooh, What You Do To Me" adds an exciting dynamic to a hummable melody. On "Stutterstep," Foster develops a percolating energy before injecting potent punctuation into the dialog, delivering solo segments that bolster the composition and never overstay their welcome. "Thirty-Three" features a propulsive, rolling melody, and near the midpoint of this memorable, eight-minute excursion, there's a bass section that spotlights Weiss' delightfully melodic sensibility. Birnbaum—the American Pianists Association's 2004 Cole Porter Fellow in Jazz—is expert in many settings, whether it's the jaunty, rock-influenced "Binary" or the gentle ballad "Rockport Moon," featuring Foster's poignant brushwork. "Dream Song #1: Huffy Henry," which was inspired by John Berryman's poetry, illustrates not only the narrative quality of Birnbaum's music, but also his keen ability to return to a theme at just the right moment.

Marc Cary, Rhodes Ahead
Vol. 2 (Motéma)
With Rhodes Ahead Vol. 2, keyboard artist Marc Cary picks up where he left off—some 16 years ago. Cary released Rhodes Ahead Vol. 1 in 1999 as an homage to all that the Fender Rhodes piano and synthesizer can do. The second edition is like two old friends meeting and picking up right where they left off. Cary has pulled in drummer Terreon Gully and bassist Tarus Mateen from the Vol. 1 date and added some terrific guests: trumpeter Igmar Thomas, violinist Arun Ramamurthy, guitarist Aurelien Budynek, percussionist Daniel Moreno, tabla player Sameer Gupta, Jabari Exum on djembe, vocalist Sharif Simmons and bassist Burniss Earl Travis II. This is a disc beautifully dedicated to exploring groove, sound and culture, blurring the lines between musical style and setting to create one of the most enjoyable albums of the year so far. "7th Avenue North" serves up a chill groove featuring some incredible, toe-tapping interplay between Gully's drums and Gupta's tabla. On "African Market," the musical imagery is so solid, you can almost see Cary and crew strolling through the titular outdoor bazaar—an aural painting of the highest order. For those who like a great headphones record, tunes like "Spices And Mystics" will hit home. Cary's imaginative keyboard work dances and dazzles. Ramamurthy cranks the violin with hard-core passion. It's like drum-and-bass meets Moroccan folk. Cary is at the top of his craft, and nothing sounds forced here. A variety of influences inform Cary's work, but he makes sure they all fold into a very broad, groove-filled vision. There's also one cover tune in the program, Harold Mabern's "Beehive," and it's a gem. Cary gives this tune, made famous by trumpeter Lee Morgan, an acid-jazz update, with trumpeter Thomas taking on the Morgan role. Other highlights from the set include the try-not-to-dance "Below The Equator" and "The Alchemist's Notes." The latter features a great dialog between Cary, Gully and Mateen with spoken-word contributions from Simmons, which seems to sum up the spirit of the recording. It's inclusive and searching, seeking a new way of seeing music, art and the world—through groove.

Charles McPherson, The Journey (Capri)
Alto saxophonist Charles McPherson heard his first Charlie Parker recording in 1953, when he was 14. The song—"Tico Tico"—made a lasting impression. "I knew immediately that this is the way you're supposed to play," he recalled. In the decades since, McPherson has become one of the stalwarts of bebop saxophone, and Parker's influence on him has been widely acknowledged. (In 1988, when Clint Eastwood needed a sax player to evoke the sounds of Parker's horn in the biopic Bird, the director turned to McPherson.) But if previous albums proved why McPherson was qualified to carry Bird's mantle, his latest, The Journey, proves why he's now bop's brightest star. The technical prowess he brings to bop standards like "Au Privave" and "Spring Is Here" is captivating, and the imagination he exhibits on originals like the title track and "Manhattan Nocturne" shows that the 75-year-old isn't afraid to push at musical boundaries. Joined by a stellar rhythm section of pianist Chip Stephens, bassist Ken Walker and drummer Todd Reid, McPherson graciously shares the spotlight with Denver-based tenorist Keith Oxman. The reedists craft solos with equal poise, trading bluesy passages on Stephens' original composition "The Decathexis From Youth (For Cole)" and burning through fast-fingered eighth-note licks on McPherson's "Bud Like." Each saxophonist even gets his own solo turn, McPherson on a poignant reading of "I Should Care" and Oxman on his bouncy "Tami's Tune." With The Journey, McPherson has put out a prodigious album, a fitting summary of his 60-plus year excursion from apprentice to bebop royalty. One listen is all it takes to know that this is the way you're supposed to play.

Georg Breinschmid,
Double Brein (Preiser)
Georg Breinschmid is one of the most fertile minds in music. He is a musician of amazing technique and skill, an artist of amazing range, humor and beauty. On Double Brein, the Austrian bassist delivers a two-CD set divided so that disc one features jazz highlighted by folk and world music and disc two features Breinschmid revisiting his classical roots. But, according to Breinschmid, this is "classical…not without improvisation, jazz also with classically trained musicians, and vice versa." Everything is open to interpretation and improvisation in Breinschmid's world. It's a large and expansive world, from sambas to musettes to songs written about tour drivers who ask musicians not to throw up in the bus to folk tunes written in 11/8…and that's just the first four songs. This album is a great listen from start to finish. Breinschmid's concepts are always exemplary, but where he truly shines is in his musicianship: He has the bass locked down tight no matter how complex or how simple the music is. The first disc incorporates many of Breinschmid's musical projects, including Brein's Café, a trio with Gerald Preinfalk or Vladimir Karparov on soprano saxophone and Antoni Donchev on piano; Duo Gansch/Breinschmid, a project with trumpeter Thomas Gansch; Viennese folk musicians that he jams with; and Strings & Bass, a classical-oriented string quartet. The music is sometimes wild, sometimes free, sometimes folksy and always beautiful. One example is the ballad "Feb. 25," a lovely tune in 3/4 with Breinschmid and Donchev working together quietly and intently for the first three minutes before Karparov swoops in on soprano, capturing their noir vibe and guiding it to its logical conclusion. There are 16 tracks on the first disc, and all are great—from "Fifteen Schörtzenbrekkers Are Better Than None" to "Blues In The Kitchen" to "Fantastische Trünenbaum" to the concluding "Waltz Of The Idiots." On the second disc, Breinschmid breathes new life into Franz Liszt's "Mephistowalzer" with the help of František Jánoška on piano and Roman Jánoška on violin. But this portion of the program isn't entirely classical, more classically inspired. Strings & Bass' take on "Irish Wedding In Bucharest" uses the string quartet as the launching pad for violinist Florian Willeitner's fabulous composition that owes as much to folk and jazz as it does to the classical tradition. Performed by Breinschmid, Willeitner, violinist Johannes Dickbauer and cellist Matthias Bartolomey, this song is ambitious, majestic and rampaging. The same could be said of this entire album, and of Breinschmid and his fabulous cast of musical friends. From the breadth of the music to the beautiful CD packaging, Breinschmid displays an eye for detail and an ear for what music can be.

Glenn Zaleski, My Ideal (Sunnyside)
Glenn Zaleski knows the value of keeping things simple. When asked earlier this year about improvements he made in 2014, his answer had everything to do with distilling his sound. "When I simplified and played less, my playing sounded more full, infinitely clearer and overall more effective," he said. "I've been amazed at just how little I need to play." My Ideal, Zaleski's debut as a leader, is a product of that full sound and infinite clarity. Like the lyrical, soft-spoken pianists of previous eras—Bill Evans, Vince Guaraldi—the Boston-born, New York-based pianist is capable of painting big pictures with small, deliberate strokes. From the very beginning, My Ideal finds the pianist exhibiting qualities of a master pointillist. His touch is marked by confidence and resolve—powerful, but not overbearing—and his phrasing is constantly attuned to structure and story. A prime example is the album's title track, played so tenderly, and with such respect for melody, that one can practically hear the lyrics hanging in the air. His arrangement of "Body And Soul" is similarly understated and exposed. In an unaccompanied introduction, Zaleski explores the song's chord changes with delicate solo lines and smooth chord modulations. Barely recognizable at first, the melody takes shape through gentle intimations, emerging fully formed only at the song's conclusion. On an arrangement of the Charlie Parker classic "Cheryl," Zaleski demonstrates the same capacity for storytelling. He begins the song with a bouncy rendering of the head, and then cuts gracefully to a chord-heavy blues solo. It's a perfectly timed leap that illustrates Zaleski's gift of having the right thing to say at just the right time. A simple concept, but sublime in its execution.

Ryan Truesdell, Lines Of Color: The Gil Evans Project Live At Jazz Standard (Blue Note/ArtistShare)
Ryan Truesdell burst onto the international jazz scene in 2012 with the release of Centennial: Newly Discovered Works Of Gil Evans. As one of the most gifted young arrangers and composers of his generation, Truesdell is also a certified Evans-aholic. In searching for original Evans manuscripts, Truesdell unearthed some 50 of the master's never-before-heard compositions and arrangements. Ten of them made their way onto Centennial, and the results had critics and fans abuzz. With Lines Of Color, Truesdell presents another round of great, new material with a few Evans classics mixed in. Recorded live during a weeklong stint at New York's Jazz Standard, this set of 11 tunes brings this music to life in a way that Evans would certainly appreciate. This album offers the beauty of hearing a large ensemble playing together in the same room. There's an energy that the musicians and the audience bring to the proceedings that adds to the charm and complexity of this music. The set features six never-recorded works. The strongest of these is a terrific arrangement of "Avalon
Town" from 1946. It's great to hear the nuance and detail that Evans puts into the arrangement, right down to the horn section shouts. Truesdell delivers the music with precision, thanks to a cast of New York's best musicians. "Avalon Town" alone features great solos by pianist Frank Kimbrough, trumpeter Mat Jodrell, Steve Wilson on clarinet, Scott Robinson on tenor, Dave Pietro on alto, Ryan Keberle on trombone and James Chirillo on guitar. Along with the six "new" arrangements, Truesdell also uses the platform to include arrangements with previously unheard sections like Bix Beiderbecke's "Davenport Blues" and "Sunday Drivin'." And he rightly includes three of Gil's most enduring tunes. "Time Of The Barracudas," a tune Evans and Miles Davis wrote for Miles' Quiet Nights, leads off this set with roof-raising solos by Marshall Gilkes on trombone, Donny McCaslin on tenor and Lewis Nash on drums. Gilkes also delivers the goods on Evans' arrangement of "Greensleeves." And the arrangement of John Lewis' "Concorde" swings with sophisticated grace and unleashed power. That can be said of the entire program. Lines Of Color is nothing short of exhilarating.
E.J. Strickland Quintet,
The Undying Spirit (Strick Muzik)
Drummer-led projects are a balancing act, a careful give-and-take between style and support. Too much flair and the drums become overbearing; too little and they fade into the background. Art Blakey and Max Roach knew how to establish the perfect equilibrium, and with The Undying Spirit, drummer E.J. Strickland finds a similar sweet spot. He plays with just enough solidity to provide his bandmates with a strong foundation, and just enough zest make the whole endeavor shimmer. It helps that Strickland assembled a superbly talented group to join him. Longtime members Jaleel Shaw on alto saxophone, Luis Perdomo on piano and brother Marcus Strickland on tenor and soprano sax bring boundless energy to this project, and bassist Linda Oh makes a phenomenal addition. Their chemistry is undeniable, but each player exhibits fireworks on their own: Oh with her soulful bass solo on "Ballad For All Mankind," Perdomo with his angular piano work on "Ride" and Shaw and Marcus with their intertwining motifs on "Bomba For Leel And Max." Best of all is when the drummer flexes his solo chops: His flights on Cedar Walton's "Hindsight" and the original composition "A Dance For Mojo's Return" are marvels of technique and self-expression. Strickland, who composed all but one of the 10 tracks, stated that his goal for this project was to create an album that would be "uplifting to the listener." That goal was definitely accomplished. The Undying Spirit positively glows, and its success comes largely from the leader's ability to inspire the best in his fellow musicians. Sure, his bandmates' performances are illuminating, but it's Strickland who's shining the light.
Pops Staples, Don't Lose This (Anti-)
Mavis Staples, 75, is enjoying a late-career renaissance that few artists her age have ever experienced. Much of the credit goes to her producer and collaborator, Wilco leader Jeff Tweedy. In addition to helping her craft the excellent solo albums You Are Not Alone (2010) and One True Vine (2013), Tweedy helped her bring Don't Lose This to fruition. And what a gem it is. Don't Lose This is an album by Mavis' famed father—and patriarch of The Staples Singers—Roebuck "Pops" Staples (1914–2000), whose guitar style was just as distinctive as his unforgettable voice. Although the 10 tracks here were built from recordings that Pops made in 1999, they have not been overly "dressed up" with digital trickery; instead, they're presented in tasteful, respectful, relatively spare arrangements. This album is truly a family affair: Pops is the only vocalist on "Nobody's Fault But Mine," while "Sweet Home" features a moving duo performance by Pops and Mavis. Elsewhere, some tracks present what are essentially archival Staples Singers performances, with Pops taking the lead while his daughters Yvonne, Cleotha and Mavis deliver the type of spirited harmonies that made this family band such an important part of both gospel and soul music. The album opens with "Somebody Was Watching," which, in classic Staples form, takes a gospel message and pairs it with an infectious groove. Positivity was at the heart of Pops' message, and in our troubled times, the song "No News Is Good News" is particularly relevant, as this brave artist and crusader—a man who marched during the Civil Rights Movement—pleads, "Don't you think it's time to put the gun down?" Don't Lose This is an album that will appeal to fans of Pops, Mavis and The Staples Singers, as well as anyone interested in the power of music to uplift one's spirits.

Astros make first long-term investment by rewarding Jose Altuve's professionalism
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The Astros don't have stars. They seldom win.
