Yo-Yo Ma and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Robert Spano, presented the world premiere of composer Angel Lam's new work: Awakening From a Disappearing Garden for solo cello and orchestra on October 15, 2009.
Yo-Yo's relationship to the composer goes back to 2005-2006, when she was awarded a Carnegie Hall Emerging Composer Commission. The resulting work, Empty Mountain Spirit Rain, was developed in part in a workshop setting with the Silk Road Ensemble in March 2005 and was also part of the Carnegie Hall/Tanglewood Music Center/Silk Road Project workshop in August 2006. This piece has been part of the touring repertoire for the Silk Road Ensemble for several years and has been recorded by the SRE.
Lam's music reflects the beauty she finds in everyday life. Her works begin life as a narrative; through her own short stories that form an integral part of her compositional method, drawing on Western and Chinese classical sources.
In Awakening from a Disappearing Garden, (commissioned by Carnegie Hall through the generosity of Henry R. Kravis in honor of his wife Marie-Josée) Lam's story is "about two women, two different generations, two different eras, in a society that had turned our nature upside down and then upside down again . . ."
The New York premiere will take place at Carnegie Hall as part of it's "Ancient Paths Modern Voices: A Festival Celebrating Chinese Culture" on November 7, 2009.

Last week the Harvard Graduate School of Education presented a Silk Road Project residency with acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma and Silk Road Ensemble musicians. The series of workshops, panels and discussions culminated in a performance and the presentation of the inaugural Harvard Graduate School of Education Thelma E. Goldberg Arts in Education Award to Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Project, a nonprofit artistic, cultural and educational organization founded in 1998 by Mr. Ma to promote innovation and learning through the arts.
"I am honored that our work is being celebrated with this award, which recognizes the arts as essential to mainstream education," commented Yo-Yo Ma, artistic director of the Silk Road Project. "One of our principal goals at the Project is to promote learning that is driven by passion as opposed to learning simply to meet requirements. Our colleagues at Harvard have been voices of inspiration and valued counsels for our educational work, and I am looking forward to engaging with them deeply this week about innovative ways to bring about and support this kind of integrated learning."
The October 2009 residency is part of a multi-year affiliation initiated in 2005 between the Silk Road Project and Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Since then, annual residencies have resulted in intensive artistic and intellectual collaborations. Silk Road Ensemble members have performed, interacted with students, conducted workshops, shared works in progress and composed new works. The Silk Road Project has worked with Harvard faculty to facilitate multicultural engagement in the arts, literature, history and music of the Silk Road region, giving rise to cross-disciplinary undergraduate coursework.

…We're here because I wanted to introduce them to some of America's finest, most creative, most accomplished young people. I wanted to come here because I wanted to showcase the value of arts education -- and you put that on display. That fact that it gives the chance to our young people to discover their voices and to develop their talents, this should be an opportunity that is available for every single child in this nation and quite frankly around the world.
And I wanted to come here because this school embodies the belief that President Obama and I share -- and that is the arts aren't just a nice thing to do if you have a little time, right? It's not just a hobby, although it can be a very good hobby. It shouldn't be something you do just because you can afford it.
We believe strongly that the arts aren't somehow an "extra" part of our national life, but instead we feel that the arts are at the heart of our national life. It is through our music, our literature, our art, drama and dance that we tell the story of our past and we express our hopes for the future. Our artists challenge our assumptions in ways that many cannot and do not. They expand our understandings, and push us to view our world in new and very unexpected ways.
And most of all, the arts have the power to connect us to each other throughout nations. It's something that we tend to share with one another as spouses. When we go to other countries, there's a common theme -- that we share our music, we share our dance, we share our culture -- because it reminds us that our world here in America is not so distant from other cultures and worlds around the globe.
It's what happens when a country music star like Trisha Yearwood performs in Italy, and students here at CAPA study Italian Renaissance art. Or when Sara Bareilles draws inspiration from an Icelandic singer named Bjork or a Jamaican singer named Bob Marley. Or when Yo-Yo Ma, born in Paris to Chinese parents, promotes the music of Kazakhstan and Brazil, and Israel, and Egypt and more -- and goes on to become one of the most beloved American artists of all time.
It's through this constant exchange -- this process of taking and giving, this process of borrowing and creating -- that we learn from each other and we inspire each other. It is a form of diplomacy in which we can all take part. I think Yo-Yo Ma put it best when he said, "When you learn something from people or from a culture, you accept it as a gift, and it is your lifelong commitment to preserve that gift and to build on that gift."
And that is what we're doing here today. We're presenting the gifts of these wonderful American artists to our friends from all around the world. And these artists are passing on the gift of their magnificent example to these young people who are here today, studying in this school -- showing them that if they dream big enough, and work hard enough, and believe in themselves, that they can do and achieve some uncommon things in their lifetime.
That is the core of my mission as First Lady -- to share the gifts that come with life in the White House with many of our young people as I possibly can find. That's why I've worked to make the White House a showcase of America's rich cultural life. We have held country music celebrations, and jazz performances, and I think we held the very first poetry jam that has ever happened in the White House.

Also if they are ever going to do a remaster like TNG-R, they will also need to redo all the space ship CGI in HD quality which would cost lots of money. This is the same problem that late DS9 and VOY will have if those shows are ever remastered.
I remember reading an interview with JMS in the 90s where he stated he believed CGI costs would be much lower in the future and they *could* redo the CGI for later releases if they wanted. Unfortunately it simply isn't the case.
I'm very surprised that Enterprise is due out next after TNG. Is DS9 and Voyager really an issue?

Why Tax Incentives Matter
States spend billions of dollars a year on tax credits, deductions and exemptions meant to encourage businesses to create or retain jobs and make investments. When designed and managed well, tax incentives can strengthen a state's economy. But Pew's research reveals that lawmakers often approve or continue incentives without knowing their potential cost or whether they are working. State leaders need better information to avoid unexpected budget challenges, identify effective incentives, and reform or end programs that are not meeting expectations.
See our Frequently Asked Questions page
How We Conduct Our Work
We study the policies and practices states have used to generate much-needed answers about the budget risks and economic returns of tax incentives. Based on this research, we work with leaders in selected states to advance policies that:
Protect budgets from unexpected tax incentive costs;
Evaluate all tax incentives on a regular schedule; and
Inform lawmakers' policy choices with evidence from evaluations

Lunchbreak - Short Surf Film
'Lunchbreak' is a short surfing film that combines high performance surfing action with a cheeky twist on a North Shore legend.
A group of male surfers are out surfing when the local 'Gang' comes and calls 'lunch break' kicking them out of the water. The 'Gang's' session doesn't last long though, a group of groms are hot on their tales, determined to teach them a lesson.

Best Member Poems
THE fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single 5
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle¡ª
Why not I with thine?
See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another; 10
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdain'd its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea¡ª
What are all these kissings worth 15
If thou kiss not me?
Thee, God, I come from, to thee go,
All day long I like fountain flow
From thy hand out, swayed about
Mote-like in thy mighty glow.
What I know of thee I bless,
As acknowledging thy stress
On my being and as seeing
Something of thy holiness.
Once I turned from thee and hid,
Bound on what thou hadst forbid;
Sow the wind I would; I sinned:
I repent of what I did.
Bad I am, but yet thy child.
Father, be thou reconciled.
Spare thou me, since I see
With thy might that thou art mild.
I have life before me still
And thy purpose to fulfil;
Yea a debt to pay thee yet:
Help me, sir, and so I will.
But thou bidst, and just thou art,
Me shew mercy from my heart
Towards my brother, every other
Man my mate and counterpart.
. . . . . . . .
Life is real, life is earnest,
And the shell is not its pen –
"Egg thou art, and egg remainest"
Was not spoken of the hen.
Art is long and Time is fleeting,
Be our bills then sharpened well,
And not like muffled drums be beating
On the inside of the shell.
In the world's broad field of battle,
In the great barnyard of life,
Be not like those lazy cattle!
Be a rooster in the strife!
Lives of roosters all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And when roasted, leave behind us,
Hen tracks on the sands of time.
Hen tracks that perhaps another
Chicken drooping in the rain,
Some forlorn and henpecked brother,
When he sees, shall crow again.
The man who cloaked his bitterness within
This winding-sheet of puns and pleasantries,
God never gave to look with common eyes
Upon a world of anguish and of sin:
His brother was the branded man of Lynn;
And there are woven with his jollities
The nameless and eternal tragedies
That render hope and hopelessness akin.
We laugh, and crown him; but anon we feel
A still chord sorrow-swept, -- a weird unrest;
And thin dim shadows home to midnight steal,
As if the very ghost of mirth were dead --
As if the joys of time to dreams had fled,
Or sailed away with Ines to the West.
WHERE are now the dreams divine,
Fires that lit the dawning soul,
As the ruddy colours shine
Through an opal aureole?
Moving in a joyous trance,
We were like the forest glooms
Rumorous of old romance,
Fraught with unimagined dooms.
Titans we or morning stars,
So we seemed in days of old,
Mingling in the giant wars
Fought afar in deeps of gold.
God, an elder brother dear,
Filled with kindly light our thought:
Many a radiant form was near
Whom our hearts remember not.
Would they know us now? I think
Old companions of the prime
From our garments well might shrink,
Muddied with the lees of Time.
Fade the heaven-assailing moods:
Slave to petty tasks I pine
For the quiet of the woods,
And the sunlight seems divine.
And I yearn to lay my head
Where the grass is green and sweet,
Mother, all the dreams are fled
From the tired child at thy feet.
WHY does this sudden passion smite me?
I stretch my hands, all blind to see:
I need the lamp of the world to light me,
Lead me and set me free.
Something a moment seemed to stoop from
The night with cool, cool breath on my face:
Or did the hair of the twilight droop from
Its silent wandering ways?
About me in the thick wood netted
The wizard glow looks human-wise;
And over the tree-tops barred and fretted
Ponders with strange old eyes.
The tremulous lips of air blow by me
And hymn their time-old melody:
Its secret strain comes nigh and nigh me:
"Ah, brother, come with me;
"For here the ancient mother lingers
To dip her hands in the diamond dew,
And lave thine ache with cloud-cool fingers
Till sorrow die from you."
Begin each morning with a talk to God,
And ask for your divine inheritance
Of usefulness, contentment, and success.
Resign all fear, all doubt, and all despair.
The stars doubt not, and they are undismayed,
Though whirled through space for countless centuries,
And told not why or wherefore: and the sea
With everlasting ebb and flow obeys,
And leaves the purpose with the unseen Cause.
The star sheds its radiance on a million worlds,
The sea is prodigal with waves, and yet
No lustre from the star is lost, and not
One dropp missing from the ocean tides.
Oh! brother to the star and sea, know all
God's opulence is held in trust for those
Who wait serenely and who work in faith.
Alas my brother! the cry of the mourners of old
That cried on each other,
All crying aloud on the dead as the death-note rolled,
Alas my brother!
As flashes of dawn that mists from an east wind smother
With fold upon fold,
The past years gleam that linked us one with another.
Time sunders hearts as of brethren whose eyes behold
No more their mother:
But a cry sounds yet from the shrine whose fires wax cold,
Alas my brother!
Birth and death, twin-sister and twin-brother,
Night and day, on all things that draw breath,
Reign, while time keeps friends with one another
Birth and death.
Each brow-bound with flowers diverse of wreath,
Heaven they hail as father, earth as mother,
Faithful found above them and beneath.
Smiles may lighten tears, and tears may smother
Smiles, for all that joy or sorrow saith:
Joy nor sorrow knows not from each other
Birth and death.
My brother, my Valerius, dearest head
Of all whose crowning bay-leaves crown their mother
Rome, in the notes first heard of thine I read
My brother.
No dust that death or time can strew may smother
Love and the sense of kinship inly bred
From loves and hates at one with one another.
To thee was Caesar's self nor dear nor dread,
Song and the sea were sweeter each than other:
How should I living fear to call thee dead
My brother?
Unmasked –
The spirits' face is a black hole
Swallowing the celestial beauty
Of the stars.
Caged –
The sentinel is crouched
Subsumed in seething pain
Not pain but anger of being guiltless
Yet 'guilty' for being in jail.
The cell –
No crime equals its greasy grey walls
Thickly dark with no grills for light
Till the eyes, sore, feel pain no more.
The sentinel –
Was once a brother
Used to sit by my feet
But wandered away,
Till err passed his way.
Who is to blame
When the mind is aflight
And discretion is abandoned
For valor?
Care-charming Sleep, thou easer of all woes,
Brother to Death, sweetly thyself dispose
On this afflicted prince; fall like a cloud
In gentle showers; give nothing that is loud
Or painful to his slumbers; easy, sweet,
And as a purling stream, thou son of Night,
Pass by his troubled senses; sing his pain,
Like hollow murmuring wind or silver rain;
Into this prince gently, oh gently slide,
And kiss him into slumbers like a bride.
In love's dances, in love's dances
One retreats and one advances,
One grows warmer and one colder,
One more hesitant, one bolder.
One gives what the other needed
Once, or will need, now unheeded.
One is clenched, compact, ingrowing
While the other's melting, flowing.
One is smiling and concealing
While the other's asking kneeling.
One is arguing or sleeping
While the other's weeping, weeping.
And the question finds no answer
And the tune misleads the dancer
And the lost look finds no other
And the lost hand finds no brother
And the word is left unspoken
Till the theme and thread are broken.
When shall these divisions alter?
Echo's answer seems to falter:
'Oh the unperplexed, unvexed time
Next time...one day...one day...next time!'
I was a Poet!
But I did not know it,
Neither did my Mother,
Nor my Sister nor my Brother.
The Rich were not aware of it;
The Poor took no care of it.
The Reverend Mr. Drewitt
Never knew it.
The High did not suspect it;
The Low could not detect it.
Aunt Sue
Said it was obviously untrue.
Uncle Ned
Said I was off my head:
(This from a Colonial
Was really a good testimonial.)
Still everybody seemed to think
That genius owes a good deal to drink.
So that is how
I am not a poet now,
And why
My inspiration has run dry.
It is no sort of use
To cultivate the Muse
If vulgar people
Can't tell a village pump from a church steeple.
I am merely apologizing
For the lack of the surprising
In what I write
I am quite well-meaning,
But a lot of things are always intervening
What I mean
And what it is said
I had in my head.
It is all very puzzling.
Uncle Ned
Says Poets need muzzling.
He might
Be right.
"Old things need not be therefore true,"
O brother men, nor yet the new;
Ah! still awhile the old thought retain,
And yet consider it again!
The souls of now two thousand years
Have laid up here their toils and tears,
And all the earnings of their pain,--
Ah, yet consider it again!
We! what do we see? each a space
Of some few yards before his face;
Does that the whole wide plan explain?
Ah, yet consider it again!
Alas! the great world goes its way,
And takes its truth from each new day;
They do not quit, nor can retain,
Far less consider it again.
O living pictures of the dead,
O songs without a sound,
O fellowship whose phantom tread
Hallows a phantom ground --
How in a gleam have these revealed
The faith we had not found.
We have sought God in a cloudy Heaven,
We have passed by God on earth:
His seven sins and his sorrows seven,
His wayworn mood and mirth,
Like a ragged cloak have hid from us
The secret of his birth.
Brother of men, when now I see
The lads go forth in line,
Thou knowest my heart is hungry in me
As for thy bread and wine;
Thou knowest my heart is bowed in me
To take their death for mine.
I'll tell you a story About Jack-a-Nory:And now my story's begun. I'll tell you another About his brother:And now my story is done.
Robin and Richard were two pretty men,They lay in bed till the clock struck ten;Then up starts Robin and looks at the sky,"Oh, brother Richard, the sun's very high!You go before, with the bottle and bag,And I will come after on little Jack Nag."
I climbed the barren mountain,
And my gaze swept far and wide
For the red-lit eaves of my father's home,
And I fancied that he sighed:
My son has gone for a soldier,
For a soldier night and day;
But my son is wise, and may yet return,
When the drums have died away.
I climbed the grass-clad mountain,
And my gaze swept far and wide
For the rosy lights of a little room,
Where I thought my mother sighed:
My boy has gone for a soldier,
He sleeps not day and night;
But my boy is wise, and may yet return,
Though the dead lie far from sight.
I climbed the topmost summit,
And my gaze swept far and wide
For the garden roof where my brother stood,
And I fancied that he sighed:
My brother serves as a soldier
With his comrades night and day;
But my brother is wise, and may yet return,
Though the dead lie far away.
XL. ? ON MARGARET RATCLIFFE. M arble, weep, for thou dost cover A dead beauty underneath thee, R ich as nature could bequeath thee : G rant then, no rude hand remove her.

Brother, that breathe the August air
Ten thousand years from now,
And smell—if still your orchards bear
Tart apples on the bough—
The early windfall under the tree,
And see the red fruit shine,
I cannot think your thoughts will be
Much different from mine.
Should at that moment the full moon
Step forth upon the hill,
And memories hard to bear at noon,
By moonlight harder still,
Form in the shadow of the trees, —
Things that you could not spare
And live, or so you thought, yet these
All gone, and you still there,
A man no longer what he was,
Nor yet the thing he'd planned,
The chilly apple from the grass
Warmed by your living hand—
I think you will have need of tears;
I think they will not flow;
Supposing in ten thousand years
Men ache, as they do now.
(For A. K. K.)
What distant mountains thrill and glow
Beneath our Lady Folly's tread?
Why has she left us, wise in woe,
Shrewd, practical, uncomforted?
We cannot love or dream or sing,
We are too cynical to pray,
There is no joy in anything
Since Lady Folly went away.
Many a knight and gentle maid,
Whose glory shines from years gone by,
Through ignorance was unafraid
And as a fool knew how to die.
Saint Folly rode beside Jehanne
And broke the ranks of Hell with her,
And Folly's smile shone brightly on
Christ's plaything, Brother Juniper.
Our minds are troubled and defiled
By study in a weary school.
O for the folly of the child!
The ready courage of the fool!
Lord, crush our knowledge utterly
And make us humble, simple men;
And cleansed of wisdom, let us see
Our Lady Folly's face again.
Having begun in thought there
in that factual embodied wonder
what was lost in the emptied lovers
patience and mind I first felt there
wondered again and again what for
myself so meager and finally singular
despite all issued therefrom whether
sister or mother or brother and father
come to love's emptied place too late
to feel it again see again first there
all the peculiar wet tenderness the care
of her for whom to be other was first fate.
Chameleons feed on light and air:
Poets' food is love and fame:
If in this wide world of care
Poets could but find the same
With as little toil as they,
Would they ever change their hue
As the light chameleons do,
Suiting it to every ray
Twenty times a day?
Poets are on this cold earth,
As chameleons might be,
Hidden from their early birth
In a cave beneath the sea;
Where light is, chameleons change:
Where love is not, poets do:
Fame is love disguised: if few
Find either, never think it strange
That poets range.
Yet dare not stain with wealth or power
A poet's free and heavenly mind:
If bright chameleons should devour
Any food but beams and wind,
They would grow as earthly soon
As their brother lizards are.
Children of a sunnier star,
Spirits from beyond the moon,
O, refuse the boon!
Since Christmas they have lived with us,
Guileless and clear,
Oval soul-animals,
Taking up half the space,
Moving and rubbing on the silk
Invisible air drifts,
Giving a shriek and pop
When attacked, then scooting to rest, barely trembling.
Yellow cathead, blue fish ----
Such queer moons we live with
Instead of dead furniture!
Straw mats, white walls
And these traveling
Globes of thin air, red, green,
The heart like wishes or free
Peacocks blessing
Old ground with a feather
Beaten in starry metals.
Your small
Brother is making
His balloon squeak like a cat.
Seeming to see
A funny pink world he might eat on the other side of it,
He bites,
Then sits
Back, fat jug
Contemplating a world clear as water.
A red
Shred in his little fist.

Moving from Work-Down to Value-Up Practices Supporting Value-Up Practices with Visual Studio Team System The Driving Forces for Change The Business Context for Software Development A Value-Up Approach to Software Development Comparing Value-Up and Work-Down Practices The Core Principles of Value-Up The Importance of Project "Flow" Measuring Flow Exercise: Work-Down vs. Value-Up Security Regulatory Compliance Competition Technology Change Cost Reduction and Agility Outsourcing Customer End User Connection Productivity Business Results and New Value Civil Engineering Software Engineering Design risks are low Design can evolve as lessons are learned Design cost is small relative to build cost Design and build costs are relatively equal Opportunity to deliver Delivering incremental value is incremental value is rare beneficial Work-down Value-up Plan Task 1 Task 2 Task 3 Task 4 In traditional project Value-up methods deliver management tasks are incremental value for the decomposed into items customer to evaluate and checked off as each iteration completed Work-down Value-up Planning and Get planning and design right up Change happens, embrace it change process front Primary measurement Task completion Only deliverables that the customer count Definition of quality Conformance to specification Value to the customer Acceptance of variance Tasks can be identified and Variance is part of all process estimated deterministically flows Intermediate Documents, models, and other Just enough to minimize the work products artifacts are necessary uncertainty Troubleshooting approach Time, resource, functionality and Find and remove the bottlenecks quality Approach to Trust Monitor and measure Pride of workmanship and performance relative to plan teamwork Increase ROI by making continuous flow of value the focus Reliable results by engaging customers at frequent intervals (shared ownership) Expect uncertainty and manage for it (through iteration, anticipation and adaptation) Unleash creativity and innovation by recognizing that the individuals are the source of value Boost performance through group accountability Improve effectiveness and reliability through specific strategies, processes and practices Flow is central to value-up thinking and practices Working software and completed documentation are the work products that count Software to the customer is measured regularly Example, Extreme Programming and the flow of "customer value" Working software delivered to the customer at regular intervals Customer satisfaction is measured at regular intervals Bulge in the resolved scenario area, indicating a bottleneck in testing Slope of closed line will not approach the backlog height by iteration end How do you handle planning and process change? What is your primary measurement of progress? How do you define quality? How do you view variance? What are your intermediate work products? How do you troubleshoot a project? Who do you trust? Why Value-Up Requires Tooling Benefits of a Common Product Backlog Benefits of Instrumenting Daily Activities Assessing Quality Assessing Quality (Continued) Benefits of Iterative Development The manual tracking of project progress is inefficient Manual processes, and disparate tools lead to inaccurate information Much time and effort is wasted Tooling is required to Reduce the overhead and costs To provide automated instrumentation of processes To provide change management and auditing (particularly for regulatory compliance) VSTS provides a single work item database To track all planned, active and completed work Much of the data is automatically captured With many daily activities instrumented Team Instrumentation of Work Items Explorer Daily Activities Source Code Excel / Metrics Project Reports Basic Questions Become Easy to Answer Is the project coming in on time? How much has the plan changed? Who's over or under and needs to be rebalanced? How effective are our tests? What rates should we use to estimate remaining work? PMs Can Spot the Bottlenecks Identifying the bottlenecks becomes easier By using multi-dimensional metrics Note the high test pass rate and low bug count for this component Note the low code coverage and high churn for this component Benefits Ability to review priorities frequently Improved focus on specific tasks Better motivation from seeing frequent releases Improved estimation Improved stakeholder confidence Continuous improvement Improved measurement of "flow" Most software processes require manual enactment Collecting data and tracking progress is expensive Up front process artefacts don't contribute to the delivery of customer value The dominant paradigm here is "work-down" Value-up and work-down practices are quite different Emphasis on customer value, change, and variance Value-up requires tooling Collecting, maintaining and reporting data is too costly otherwise VSTS supports and encourages value-up practices

Stairway Help
Our new home (well 60 years old so new to us) has a finished basement. we are replacing the floor and taking out a wall to make a large play area for our child. The stairs have a railing on the right wall but halway down the left way they are open. The wall there comes up to my calf. What are our options???? Our inspector did not mention the stairs but I cant have my child walk down them. I need a low cost solution that still looks ok. The basement was finished 10 years ago so it had to have met code but I think it was grandfathered b/c stairs were always there since the 40s.
What can we do that wont be thousands? what does everyone else's stairs look like?
Sounds simple, especially since you're having other work done. You just need a higher wall, probably at least 40" above the front of each step. They can remove the existing "calf-height" wall and frame a higher wall that runs parallel with the stair incline. Drywall finish, then top it off with wood and trim. You can install a second handrail if you like (but not necessary with one on the other side). Do it at the same time as the other wall work and it shouldn't be too expensive.
I just checked our basement stairs. I built a wall that's 36" above the rear part of the step (not the front edge). It looks great and safe. Not sure if it meets code, though.
If you want a really cheap alternative, you could just install a post somewhere near the bottom, then install a rail. But having the wall raised might be best since you will have workers there already.
In my area, heights over 30" require railings or walls. Balusters must be spaced so that a ball 4" diameter will not pass between balusters. Handrails must be placed within certain height limitations. Find out the code for your area and determine if compliance with the recent code is possible for your installation. Do not call the code office to ask, they probably automatically will say that it is required.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp says returning Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is a one-off.
Klopp admits he regrets not visiting United to see Ferguson in action.
He told The Sun: "My whole life as an adult Alex Ferguson was coach of Manchester United. I only know this club with him as a coach. It's unbelievable what he's done. I never had the time, nor the possibility to go to Manchester United and watch training. I worked as a coach and never had the time to go see what others are doing.
"It's one of the biggest stories in the history of football. I don't think anyone will ever do that again. He's a great manager and really it's not possible to do twice what he did there. Or something similar.
"I don't know if I would like to do it myself."
