The Regional Planning Commission's Pedestrian and Bicycle Program is working to create walkable and bikeable communities for the citizens of Southeast Louisiana. Through the programs and initiatives listed below, we aim to raise awareness, promote safety and encourage increased walking and bicycling.
The 2013 New Orleans Bike Map and Guide to Safe Cycling updates the popular first edition from 2012, reflecting the latest additions to the New Orleans Bikeway Network (as of June 2013) and new connector routes suggested by the public. The Guide to Safe Cycling provides drivers and riders with an overview of traffic laws so that everyone can stay safe and legal on the city streets. Printed copies are available free of charge at bike shops around town, local universities and Bike Easy events. Or download a copy below
In partnership with Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the RPC's Greater New Orleans Pedestrian & Bicycle Program has developed a variety of initiatives to improve walking and bicycling conditions in the New Orleans area and across Louisiana.
The RPC has produced or participated in a number of plans to promote and develop improved pedestrian and bicycle conditions in Southeast Louisiana.
This 2013 feasibility study creates routes for safely commuting and recreating on foot and by bicycle along and across LA Highway 21 in St. Tammany Parish between Covington and Madisonville, Louisiana by establishing a network of paths and routes that link neighborhoods to community nodes.
This report reflects the vision for the future of bicycling on the east and west banks of Jefferson Parish and was adopted as part of the Jefferson Parish Comprehensive Plan in 2014.
The Complete Streets Advisory Committee meets quarterly to discuss and to implement Complete Streets policy within the RPC's purview. This committee serves to provide public input on RPC projects and policies to improve the integration of Complete Streets concepts into the RPC's planning process. Complete Streets Advisory Committee meetings are open to the public.
Regional Transportation Management Center
10 Veterans Memorial Blvd.
New Orleans LA 70124-1162
Location is accessible via RTA Bus 45, 60 & JET Bus E-1. Secure bike parking available.
The RPC is currently seeking nominations for representatives from Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany and Tangipahoa Parishes and At-Large members. If you're interested in applying, please contact Dan Jatres 504 483 8505 or
For more information on Complete Streets, visit the National Complete Streets Coalition.
The laws that govern pedestrians and bicyclists are generally state laws contained within the Louisiana Revised Statutes Title 32. Additionally, some parishes and municipalities have their own ordinances that apply to pedestrians and bicyclists.

Recipe by Osider760
"This is a Southern California version of sweet and sour chicken, marinated and grilled with a little extra spice. Great for all barbeque lovers. I usually serve cut into lengths with fresh cilantro, homemade salsa, guacamole, black beans, and flour tortillas warmed on the grill. A little good Southern California karma never hurts anyone. This recipe is light enough to offset the first 2 margaritas. GO CHARGERS!!!"

salt and pepper to taste
Fabulous! This a wonderful marinade for grilled chicken. I loved the idea of using fresh citrus juice! I did add some minced garlic - the equivalent of about one clove just for good measure. I pounded the chicken down thin as instructed and poked it with a fork. I put everything into a ziploc bag and let it go for 8 hours. It smelled great and tasted even better. It's sweet, yet has just a mild kick with nice citrus flavor. Plus the chicken has a beautiful color to it. And, as the submitter suggested I served it with warm tortillas, homemade salsa, guacamole, and warm black beans topped with a dollup of sour cream for a Southwestern flair. What's great about this recipe is you could easily take this and add some cumin and curry (1/4 tsp. each) to the marinade then serve with couscous to give a Middle Eastern flair. This is a definite keeper!
This was everything we expected it to be as it was yummiliciously citrusy and quite flavourful. However, this isn't too great to eat on its own (according to me), and would do justice if added to salads, or served on tortillas with salsa. Whilst I'll keep that in mind next time, I think I will also add some chopped cilantro to the marinade....and perhaps allow the chicken to sit in the marinade overnight. Nevertheless, good recipe. :) Thanks Osider760!

The family loved this chicken, and the citrus was a nice twist on chicken fajita's,
I loved grating the zest from all the citrus. Love the bright colors and fresh flavor. Easy marinade that scores big points!
I'm always on the lookout for easy grilled chicken recipes and this one is just right. Made this tonight for the first time, LOVED it! Served with grilled sweet potatoes and a tossed salad w/Balsamic vinaigrette. The dinner was just perfect for Florida summers, and it WAS better than El Pollo Loco, as another reviewer mentioned. I'll definitely use it for a taco filling with just some cilantro, jalapeño, onion and queso fresco. Yum! Hubby suggested the marinade would make a great reduction, and I agree. And such a versatile jumping-off recipe - it could work well with a little pineapple juice or extra honey to give it an island flair. I halved the recipe for 3 people, omitted the coriander (didn't have any) and used full amount of red pepper for kick. Biggest surprise - we could taste each citrus component. LOVE THIS RECIPE! Call me goofy, but I think it would make superb fish tacos, too.
I was surprised, but I did like this. I served it with a baked potato. The citrus flavors was a refreshing change for a bbq chicken.
by itself this chicken is a little on the bland side. serve it on tortillas with salsa and its the perfect combination of flavors! great recipe and a nice change from tacos!
Made this for the Recipe Group. Good strong citrus flavor. I left out the honey as I didn't see the need for extra sweet and didn't baste. If I had had some fresh coriander I think that would have been better as the coriander powder didn't seem to add much. I'm always throwing garlic in grilled chicken marinades, so it was good to be restrained by the recipe. It had a nice clean, fresh taste.

Alone in the Classroom (original 2011; edition 2012)
by Elizabeth Hay
Work details
Alone in the Classroom by Elizabeth Hay (2011)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An enjoyable, rambling novel by a Canadian woman about teaching children, falling in love, and figuring out the meaning of the past.
Elizabeth Hay is a talented and accomplished Canadian writer. She was born on Lake Ontario in 1951 and has lived in various parts of her country. Her novels and other writings have been awarded various prizes. I found her novel to be full of literary gems; sharp descriptions and commentary on how people behave. Her narrative is complex and sometimes confusing. Its structure is not consistently linear, and people keep meeting those they had known in previous times. No plot summary can do it justice.
Alone in the Classroom is primarily a family story, narrated by Anne, a contemporary woman with a husband and two children. She devotes the first part of the book to telling stories about her favorite aunt, Connie, a lively, attractive, and independent woman. Like Anne's parents, Connie grew up in a small town in Ontario. Barely out of school herself, she taught in a tiny town on the prairies of Saskatchewan. She loved teaching and her students, but feared and distrusted the man who was principal of the school. A tragedy occurred, and she left teaching and ended up back in Ontario as a journalist. When a young girl was murdered in her family's home town, she covered the story. In the process she encountered people from her past who complicated her life. Ann continues relating Connie's story and that of her larger extended family. Gradually the narrative shifts. Anne herself becomes the central character as she interacts with Connie and people from her past.

Intriguing story. Some fabulous quotes near the end
as always when listening i get characters mixed up. reader mispronounced kazabazua. good story
elizabeth hay is magical with her words and stories. it's amazing to me, her quiet but nuanced prose (if that makes sense?). i find that hay has a great ability to capture intimate details of human nature and convey them in her writing. but her style doesn't punch you in the face. it just sort of envelopes you gently yet she will still get deep into your bones. i sound like such a prig. sorry! :) i had the chance to hear hay read from this book a while ago and so it was nice having her voice in my mind while i was reading; she has a wonderful voice which isn't all that surprising given her years working in radio for the CBC. i never listen to audio books - but i wonder if she narrates her own works?
anyway...this story is great. it's unsettling and surprising. i was most fixated on the one thread woven through the story: the idea that the past is constantly being rediscovered and effects the lives of our families for years to come.
i was a bit surprised by the tiny, tiny bit of magical realism being dabbled with here - the idea of people being born as others from past lives - bringing memories, and birthmarks, into the new life they occupy. this was very interesting.
the only reason i didn't give this 5-stars is because of the structure. it's almost like two connected novellas and the move from one to the next was sudden. which is, for me, a marked contrast to the smooth nature of hay's style.
Sometimes the characters a writer pursues take on a seeming life of their own, wresting control of a tale from the hand that holds the pen. In Alone in the Classroom, the narrator, Anne, sets out to write about her mother but gets diverted into the lives of her father's older sister, Connie, an unsettling sexual predator named Parley, a traumatized dyslexic boy named Michael, and the disturbing events that tie them together over the course of more than sixty years. Anne's mother still appears but she has become a minor character, and ultimately what sets out as biography reveals itself as autobiography. Or maybe that is always the case in some respect. And, if so, does it have its analog in fiction? Has Elizabeth Hay, herself, suffered the same befuddling as her narrator? Certainly the results here appear jumbled, moving forward (or back) in fits and starts. What appears to be the centre of the story collapses or suddenly shifts out of sight. As the details begin to emerge, connections between characters become clearer but their significance is obscured. And what you are left with is the muddled mess of lives lived. Only a writer with the expressive power and observational talent of a fine poet could turn such a muddle into a compelling narrative. A writer like Elizabeth Hay.
The story turns on the relationship between Connie, who is 18 in her first teaching post in a small town in Saskatchewan, her sadistic and frighteningly self-absorbed school principal, Parley, and the severely dyslexic (at the time dyslexia is not a recognized condition) student, Michael, who is, in Connie's eyes, clearly intelligent and sensitive. Both in this initial encounter and when Connie crosses paths with Parley again eight years later, Connie's strength and Parley's weakness are revealed. But the tripartite construction continues to re-emerge again and again, in different forms and often with different participants. What does it all mean? For Anne, the narrator imposing narrative order on disordered lives, its significance is rich. But Anne's need for order is just a further hue for Hay's palette, so the meaning for the reader remains open.
Writing that so faithfully brings its characters to life, escaping the simplifying tendency of art will, I think, naturally be at times confusing. At least I was confused at times. Certainly this writing forces the reader to slow down, to work things out, to make connections, even to reread sections. (I wanted to reread the book from the start numerous times as I went along, realizing that I had missed vital aspects on my first pass.) It's like the difference between reading a longhand letter from a dear friend and a scrabbled email; the former gives you pause, gladly. Elizabeth Hay's writing gives me pause. Highly recommended.
Hay's fiction has always demonstrated a keen appreciation of people, places and history. This novel is further immutable evidence of that.
Alone in the Classroom is meant to be read slowly, or even better, read twice.

Hi Folks, I guess I should apologize first before you read any further, for the dumbness of this question .... I've got a few 4.x systems kicking around, and at the moment have one hooked via serial port to my dragonfly box. I was hoping to use it to help debug some lockups I'm seeing... Not sure if this is possible or if I'd need to convert it to DragonFly first... On the Dragonfly box I break to ddb, and type 'gdb' and then 'c' to continue. Then I break to ddb again and it tells me that it's received the break and I assume is now chatting on the serial port ... On the 4.x (4.10beta) box, I see - $ gdb -k GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD) Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. Type "show copying" to see the conditions.

Couldn't establish connection to remote target Malformed response to offset query, timeout (kgdb) (kgdb) quit Not sure if I should be using the ttyd0 instead of cuaa0, or perhaps something else entirely different? Not 100% sure about my cable either, I just grabbed it out of a big box of random cables in our lab ... It *looks* like a good cable. Could I perhaps also be using the wrong baud rate ? Any help our pointers to help would be greatly appreciated .. Cheers, Andrew.

A group of cross-party Welsh Assembly ministers are urging the Welsh Government to enforce a ban on using 'legal chastisement' as a legal defence for smacking children.
Although previous attempts to do so have been unsuccessful, four AMs have tabled a debate in the Senedd, the Welsh National Assembly building, about making smacking a criminal offence.
Parents and ministers are divided on the issue of smacking, with some believing it is a useful disciplinary tool and others believing it tantamount to child abuse.
Labour AM Christine Chapman believes that alternative methods of discipline are superior to smacking.
She said: "There's a lot to suggest smacking doesn't work.
"What message are you giving out that in order for them to do what you want you have got to use physical force? Really, we are way behind other countries."
Plaid Cymru AM Lindsay Whittle feels that it would be simple to enforce a ban on smacking, saying that enforcing it would be "no more difficult than any other act of violence against individuals".
He said: "This is something where the assembly could really make a major impact, one of the first big laws we could pass since the new powers."
However, Conservative AM Darren Millar is opposed to banning smacking as he feels that parents should have the right to use any disciplinary methods available to them.
He said: "Physical chastisement is a tool. It's not the only tool but it can be extremely effective and useful, and can be far less damaging.
"I think the vast majority of parents know where to draw the line. People use it as a reasonable punishment and they ought to be able to continue to do so."
In Britain, under the 2004 Children's Act, parents and carers are allowed to smack children as long as it amounts to "reasonable punishment". Any smacking which results in bruises, swelling, cuts, scratches and grazes will be punishable by a jail sentence of up to five years.
In the EU, apart from Britain, there are only four other countries which do not outlaw smacking children.

Pete is exactly right when he says that the Gallup poll finding low approval ratings for President Obama isn't surprising, and that these numbers are clearly bad for his reelection hopes.
This helps explain the president's obvious anxiety over the raising the debt limit. As John Sides explains, the conventional wisdom that Bill Clinton benefited from winning his showdown with Newt Gingrich in 1995 is only half-right. Clinton won by Gingrich losing, but the president himself didn't experience much help in the polls at the time. So Mitch McConnell may be right that the Republican Congress will lose this showdown, but that is cold comfort to Obama, who isn't running against McConnell or John Boehner or even Eric Cantor. Obama is running against, for now, "generic Republican," who holds an eight-point lead over him.
So Boehner and McConnell want to raise the debt ceiling, and understandably so. But notice how unperturbed Mitt Romney seems about the possibility of missing that deadline. Same with Michele Bachmann.
Sides follows through on the thought experiment: "what if the meltdown led to, say, 1-2 months of bond rating markdowns, stock market convulsions, disruptions of key government services, and wall-to-wall media coverage of the same? What happens to Obama's approval rating in that time? My bet is that, just as with Clinton in 1995, it goes down."
That sounds about right. And I think Obama knows this. How much lower can he afford to have his ratings go? Voters may blame Cantor more than they blame Obama, but "generic Republican" had nothing to do with this. The unemployment rate in 1995 was 5.6 percent. It is currently 9.2 percent. If I were Obama, I'd be nervous too. I'd just try not to show it as much.

Conference-Best Efforts Net Weekly Track and Field Awards
Binghamton's Jesse Garn (Marcellus, N.Y./Marcellus) picks up Track Performer of the Week and Albany's Stephen Hassard (Setauket, N.Y./Ward Melville) brings home Field Performer of the Week on the men's side. For the women, New Hampshire's Allison Letourneau (Kingston, Nova Scotia/Berkshire Prep) reels in Track Performer of the Week and Boston University's Allison Barwise (Orange, Conn./Amity Regional) rounds out the weekly recipients with the Field Performer of the Week award.
Garn won the 800 at the Bison Outdoor Classic in a school-record time of 1:49.17. That time represents the fastest 800 in the conference this season and eclipses the previous mark of 1:49.80 set last year by Erik van Ingen.
Competing against UConn in the third annual 'Dog Fight,' Hassard topped the field with an impressive 51.52-meter discus throw. Hassard now possesses the best throw in the conference during the outdoor season and qualifies for the IC4A Championships.
Letourneau ran to a first-place finish in a field of 24 in the 800 at the Wildcat Invitational. She crossed the finish line in an ECAC-qualifying time of 2:10.68, marking the second-fastest time in school history. Letourneau's time also ranks first by more than three seconds in the conference this season.
Barwise continued to dominate the high jump placing first at the Skyhawk Invitational, breaking her own facility record by clearing a height of 1.80 meters. The junior also finished first in the 100-meter hurdles in 14.94 seconds. Barwise's mark in the high jump is the best leap in the conference this season.
The Albany men's and women's track and field teams split up this weekend with the men competing against UConn in the third annual 'Dog Fight' and the women heading to the UMass Invitational. The Great Dane women finished first at UMass with 148.07 team points and the men fell 105-92. For the women, Ashley Mahlmiester (Unadilla, N.Y./Sidney), Sherez Mohammed (Unadilla, N.Y./Sidney), Tynele Taylor-Chase (Whitby, Ontario/Notre Dame Catholic Secondary), Allison Rogers (Amherst, N.Y./Amherst Central) and the 4x400 relay team all won their respective events. Mahlmeister turned in the competition's best long jump (5.66 meters) while Mohammed took the 400-meter dash (56.32), Taylor-Chase won the 400-meter hurdles (1:01.59) and Rogers captured the 200-meter dash (24.55). Rogers, Taylor-Chase and the 4x400 team all recorded ECAC-qualifying times in their events. In the field, Catherine Dixon posted a 46.72-meter discus toss to also qualify for the ECAC Championships. On the men's side, the Danes won 10 of the 18 contested events. Of those 10 first-place finishes, six were IC4A-qualifying performances. Stephen Hassard and Alexander Bowen (Beacon, N.Y./Beacon High) both turned in IC4A-qualifying marks in the field. Hassard threw the discus 51.52 meters and Bowen cleared 2.09 meters in the high jump. Paul Lagno (Salt Point, N.Y./Millbrook) took first in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 3:48.40 and Chris Burke (Tully, N.Y./Tully/SUNY Delhi) finished ahead of the pack in the 5,000-meter run in 14:33.65. Jonathan Santana (Rochester, N.Y./Edison Tech) bolted to victory in the 400-meter dash, finishing in 48.35 seconds. Both the Great Dane teams look forward to the Larry Ellis Invitational at Princeton University starting on April 21.
Binghamton posted a combined total of 12 first-place finishes at the Bucknell Outdoor Challenge and the Army 5-Way Meet this past weekend. At Bucknell, freshman Jesse Garn (Marcellus, N.Y./Marcellus) won the 800 in a school-record time of 1:49.17. Garn's time eclipsed the mark of 1:49.80 set by Erik van Ingen last year. For the women, Alexis Murray (Bellerose, N.Y./St. Francis Prep) was second in both the triple jump and the javelin at the Army 5-Way Meet. Murray topped her own school record with a distance of 130.3' in the javelin. Also setting a school record this week was Lindsay Raulli (North Syracuse, N.Y./Cicero North Syracuse) in the 3,000 steeplechase at Bucknell. Her time of 10:48.88 eclipsed the 2004 mark of 10:49.76. Binghamton will compete in two meets this coming weekend as some Bearcats head to the Larry Davis Invitational and others travel to Buffalo for the NY Upstate Challenge.
The Boston University track and field teams made a quick trip to Easton, Mass. for the Skyhawk Invitational hosted by Stonehill College last weekend. Allison Barwise (Orange, Conn./Amity Regional) posted a pair of wins on the day, taking top honors in the 100-meter hurdles (14.94) and the high jump (1.80 meters). The Terriers' 4x400 relay team set a new facility record to claim first place, as well. The quartet finished in a time of 3:55.19 to set the new mark. Boston U. claimed the top three spots in the 200-meter dash as Gemma Acheampong (Waterbury, Conn./Wilby) won the race in 25.84 seconds. As a team, the Terrier women finished third overall. On the men's side, the Terriers finished fifth as a team thanks to a strong day from senior Jeff Pelage (Pompano Beach, Fla./Pine Crest School). The former Terrier basketball player won the discus (46.45 meters) and placed second in the shot put (14.04 meters). Freshman Ben Ravetz (Blue Bell, Pa./Wissahickon) ran to a second-place showing in the 3,000 steeplechase (10:07.82) at Stonehill, as well. Several Terriers also went to the Patriot Open hosted by George Mason. Matt Paulsen (Manchester, N.H./Manchester Central) led the Terrier men by finishing third in the 5,000-meter run (14:22.85). Boston U. will compete at the Larry Ellis Invitational and the MIT Invitational this coming weekend.
The Hartford track and field teams traveled to Amherst, Mass. over the weekend for the UMass Invitational. On the women's side, the Hawks finished eighth as a team and set a new school record in the 4x100 relay. The team of Kenterra Richardson (Temple Hills, Md./Forestville Military Academy), Tiffany Harrison (Bloomfield, Conn./Bloomfield), Merrica Modeste (Jamaica, N.Y./John Adams) and Priscilla Appiagyei (South Windsor, Conn./South Windsor)crossed the finish line with a time of 48.58 to break the previous Hartford record by .02 seconds. The Hartford men finished 10th as a team but did break a handful of school records. Kevin Brandon (Lewisbury, Pa./Red Land) set the school mark in the 1,500-meter run, covering the distance in 4:00.36. The time snapped a record that had been in the books since 2005. Seniors Anderson Emerole (Jamaica, N.Y./Manhattan Center for Math and Sciences) and Andrew Chalmers (Ashland, N.H./Plymouth Regional) broke their own school records in the 200-meter dash and the 3,000 steeplechase, respectively. Both Emerole and Chalmers finished second in the events at UMass. In the field, Kyle Cholewa (Griswold, Conn./Griswold) posted a second-place finish in the discus. His toss of 43.85 meters was a personal best and a new Hartford record. The Hawks head to Holy Cross this weekend for the Holy Cross Heptathlon and the Holy Cross Invitational.
Maine sent its track and field teams to the UNH Wildcat Invitational last weekend. Jillian O'Brien (Buffalo, N.Y./West Seneca West) won a pair of events to lead the Black Bear women. O'Brien won the 100 (12.02) and the 200 (25.44) meter dashes. Lauren Roush (Hinsdale, Ill.) won the 400-meter dash in 59.38. Corey Conner (Townsend, Mass./North Middlesex Regional) just missed breaking her own school record in the 1,500-meter run, winning in a time of 4:28.59, which qualifies her for the ECAC Championships. Maine's 4x100 relay team also raced to victory at UNH, completing the race in 48.60. In the field, Katy Grime (Brownington, Vt./North Country Union) and Robyn McFetters (Barrington, R.I./Barrington High School) each won their events. Grime topped the field in the discus with her mark of 133'2" and McFetters posted the second-best hammer throw in school history of 172'4." For the Black Bear men, Justin Gagne (Biddeford, Maine/Biddeford) broke a pair of school records, including one that had stood for more than 50 years, to lead the way. Gagne placed second in the shot put (55'8.25") and first in the discus (166'9") to break both records. Frank Del Duca (Bethel, Maine/Telstar) qualified for the IC4A Championships, running a 10.83 in the 100-meter dash to take runner-up honors. Jake Leithiser (Old Town, Maine/Old Town) won the 400-meter dash with a time of 49.16 and David Currier (Sidney, Maine/Messalonskee) ran to victory in the 5,000 (14:53.48). Maine will next compete at Holy Cross and at the LSU Alumni Gold Invitational this weekend.
For the second straight week, the UMBC track and field teams split up for competition with one group going to the Sea Ray Relays at the University of Tennessee and another group heading to the Bucknell Outdoor Challenge. At Bucknell, senior Keri Wilson (Columbia, Md./Long Reach) broke the UMBC school record in the 3,000 steeplechase. Wilson came into the day second on the school list but topped her personal best by more than five seconds, completing the race in 11:29.56. At Tennessee, freshman Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara) continued her strong outdoor season placing fifth in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:02.50. For the men, Cameron McDearmon (Owings Mills, Md./Franklin) jumped to third in the record book with his 52.15-meter toss in the hammer throw. The Retrievers return to the track next week when they travel to Princeton for the Larry Ellis Invitational.
New Hampshire hosted the non-scoring Wildcat Invitational on Saturday. Senior Brice Paey won the shot put for the second straight week with an IC4A-qualifying toss of 58'10.74" to lead the Wildcat men. Kevin Greene (Silver Spring, Md.) captured the 1,500-meter run crown for the second time in as many weeks, finishing with a time of 3:57.07. In the high jump, Jason Guarente (Saugus, Mass.) cleared a height of 6'4" to take the top spot. Also in the field, Jesse Swink (Groton, Conn.) won the javelin for the third consecutive week with a toss of 192'10." On the women's side, Laura Stern (Shirley, Mass./Lunenberg) remained unbeaten in the javelin this season as she won the event for the fourth straight week with an ECAC-Qualifying toss of 136'8". Allison Letourneau captured the 800, crossing the finish line in 2:10.68. UNH swept the women's 3,000 steeplechase as Meagan Boucher (Manchester, N.H.) set the pace with a time of 11:14.85. The Wildcats also swept the top three spots in the high jump, led by freshman Jessica Salley (Andover, Mass.), who cleared a height of 5'7.75" to qualify for the ECAC Championships. Abigail Huntress (Saco, Maine) and Caroline Bonsaint (Hampton, N.H.) also posted wins in their respective events for the second straight week. Next up for the Wildcats are meets at the Holy Cross Heptathlon in Worcester, Mass. and the Larry Ellis Invitational at Princeton this weekend.
Stony Brook's track and field teams competed in the Metropolitan Championships while a select group ran at the Bucknell Invitational. For the Stony Brook women, senior Patricia Barry (Tipperary, Ireland/University of Limerick) took third in the 5,000-meter run at Bucknell in an ECAC-qualifying time of 17:00.48. Senior Carolina Cortes (Woodmere, N.Y./Valley Stream South) finished seventh in the 3,000 steeplechase in 10:47.75, which also meets the ECAC-qualifying standard. Meanwhile at the Metropolitan Championships, junior Annie Keown (Aukland, New Zealand/Aukland University) won the 1,500-meter run in a season-best time of 4:39.90. Sophomore Erin Eaton (Omaha, Neb./Westside) finished right behind Keown, also running a season-best time of 4:41.04. The Seawolf men's team was paced by freshman Terry Martin (Bloomingburg, N.Y./Pine Bush) who broke his second school record of the outdoor season shattering the long jump mark with his leap of 6.95 meters. Martin also finished third in the 110-meter hurdles and eighth in the 200-meter dash (22.14). Sophomore Eric Speakman (Napier, New Zealand/Taradale) was fifth in the 800-meter run and was a member of the 4x800 relay team that finished third. Carlos Roa (Jamaica, N.Y./St. Francis Prep) had a career performance at Bucknell, running the 10,000 in an IC4A-Qualifying 30:48.29 in his first attempt at the distance. Stony Brook will split up again this weekend as some competitors head to the Mt. San Antonio College Relays in Walnut, Calif. and the rest head to Princeton for the Larry Ellis Invitational.
Vermont's track and field teams competed in a tri-meet against Middlebury and Dartmouth in Hanover, N.H. over the weekend. The Catamount women placed second while the men finished third. UVM received a strong performance out of sophomore Tess Cioffredi (Lebanon, N.H./Lebanon), who captured the top spot in the 400-meter hurdles with a mark of 1:03.29.

Connor Jennings (Concord, N.H./Concord) took the 3,000-meter run title in 9:39.77, while Matt Feeley (Honolulu, Hawaii/Punahou) ran a 16.13 in the 100-meter hurdles to win the event. In the field, Sam Hoadley (East Granby, Conn./East Granby) finished second overall in the javelin with a throw of 60.89 meters. It was a season-best effort by more than four meters for the senior. Classmate Peter Foley (Oakland, N.J./Indian Hills) won the shot put with a heave of 13.88 meters and freshman Mickey Krug (Essex Junction, Vt./Essex) won the long jump (6.67 meters). It's a busy week ahead for UVM as it will dedicate its brand new outdoor track and field facility and host its first outdoor home meet since 1997 on Tuesday against Middlebury. This weekend, the Catamounts will take part in meets all over the country. Vermont will send competitors to the Mt. San Antonio College Relays, Middlebury and the Beach Invitational.

Highlanders roll at Unicoi
The Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders made the long trip to Unicoi County and ran away from the Blue Devils for a big 46-22 non-conference win Friday night at Gentry Field.
"It feels good to be 4-0," said G-P coach Benny Hammonds, following the 24-point win. "But we've still got a lot of room for improvement."
It was a tight contest midway through the second quarter with the Highlanders (4-0) leading just 16-10 after the Blue Devils (1-3) scored on a one-yard quarterback sneak by senior signal caller Lucas Hensley with six minutes, 35 seconds until intermission.
But that's when G-P took control of the contest.
Junior Michael Muszik took the ensuing snap from scrimmage through the 4-hole and was immediately stuffed at the line of scrimmage by a couple Unicoi County defenders. But Muszik refused to go down, shedding the would-be Blue Devil tacklers and then sprinting 69 yards untouched to paydirt for a 22-10 G-P lead with 6:17 in the half.
It was part of the 171 yards and three TDs on the ground for G-P in the second quarter alone.
Muszik made it the halftime score of 30-10 with another scoring run, this time from 13 yards out with 3:66 in the second quarter. Senior quarterback Tanner Cox ran the two-point conversion.
Senior Jeremy Odom made it 38-10 with an 86-yard kickoff return to open the third quarter, and Muszik scored his fourth TD of the night with a 42-yard run with 10:34 in the third to make it 46-10 G-P after junior tailback Steven Russell ran in the two-point conversions following both scores.
The G-P junior varsity squad took over from there.
Unicoi County's varsity squad managed a score with 11:54 in regulation when Hensley found senior receiver Thomas Tipton on a fourth-and-Goal from the 4, cutting the G-P lead to 46-16.
And Unicoi County freshman running back made it the eventual final with a 69-yard TD run with 4:52 left in the game.
The Highlanders drew first blood in the contest after senior Spencer Brien ripped a 40-yard run through the five hole for a first-and-goal at the 8, and Cox immediately followed with an eight-yard bootleg right for the score with 4:28 left in the first. Muszik made it 8-0 with the two-point run.
The Blue Devils cut it to 8-3 when senior kicker Richie Farmer drilled a 39-yard field goal that would have been good from 50 with 11:56 in the second quarter.
But Muszik answered for G-P with his first score of the night, a 27-yarder up the gut, for a 16-3 lead after he also ran in the two-point conversion with 9:57 in the first half.
The undefeated Highlanders will have a tough row to hoe to stay that way when they travel to Fulton (4-0) next week, while Unicoi County hosts Sullivan South.

Braz Cause: Don't be a boob — participate in an uplifting event
Braz Cause helps women fight breast cancer
posted Aug 16, 2013 - 4:40:59pm
In July, Shawn-Marie Batchelder celebrated a special 10-year anniversary, marking a decade since the awful day in 2003 when she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. Doctors told her she wouldn't live for more than five years.
Not only did Batchelder survive, but the Deltona woman has turned her experience into a way to help other women beat breast cancer.
Working with former Florida Hospital-Fish Memorial Foundation Director Diana Fish and friend and fellow cancer survivor Susan Bauerle, Batchelder hatched the idea of a fund-raiser that would help women afford mammograms.
Inspired by an email from Batchelder's sister, Charlene Lamb, that had a picture of a funny bra, the women conceived of an art auction whose works of art would be created from brassieres or otherwise meaningful to women. They formed a nonprofit called Braz Cauz, which has helped provide free and low-cost mammograms to more than 1,000 women.
Now it's time to get the creative juices flowing, as Braz Cauz 2013 is fast approaching.
Funky Trunk Treasures in Downtown DeLand partnering with the nonprofit to create the Braz Cauz Treasure Chest. Artists, or those with an artistic imagination, are invited to drop off works of art with a bra theme at Funky Trunk, 100 N. Woodland Blvd., through Sept. 25.
The artwork will be auctioned Thursday, Oct. 24, with proceeds benefiting Braz Cauz.
The artwork can be in any form, including paintings, mixed media, sculptures, glass, metal, fabric, floral, wrought iron, wood, photography, and many more. Local businesses are even encouraged to submit artwork to help promote their businesses. A law firm has already approached Cline about designing a "scales of justice" bra.
Artwork must be accompanied by an entry form, which can be downloaded at www.brazcauz.net.
Funky Trunk owner Kimberly Cline said she loves the purpose of Braz Cauz, and wanted to bring the experience, whose events have typically been in Southwest Volusia, into focus in the DeLand area.
Cline met Batchelder when she served on the board of the Florida Hospital-Fish Memorial Foundation. The hospital hosted several events for Braz Cauz.
Cline said women fighting cancer are amazing people. She designed a bra in honor of her mother-in-law, who died from breast cancer, for the first Braz Cauz event in 2010, which raised $10,000.
"Their stories are so inspiring," Cline said. "Cancer doesn't have to be a death sentence."
It wasn't for Batchelder. First diagnosed at the age of 36, she went through a lumpectomy in 2003 and a double mastectomy in 2009. Her experience taught her the importance of mammograms, which can detect breast cancer in its early stages and improve a woman's chance of survival.
Normally, mammograms cost about $500, Batchelder said. But, during Braz Cauz events, such as Breast Cancer Month in October, the hospital has offered the exams for only $99. Eligible women can get them for free.
Because of privacy issues, Braz Cauz never knows the outcome of the mammograms, but Batchelder knows one person whose life was changed because of Braz Cauz and the mammogram it provided for her.
"I'm very happy to know that we've saved at least one person's life," Batchelder said.
Batchelder said one in eight women are susceptible to breast cancer, and she urged women to get mammograms early, especially if they have a family history of the disease. She also said mammograms don't hurt, they only squeeze a little and put pressure on your breast.
Batchelder hopes Braz Cauz can continue to grow and receive more funding so it can offer other services to women diagnosed with breast cancer. She would love to be able to provide women with wigs and prostheses, and help pay for medication that health insurance won't cover.
She also wants to provide information. Batchelder said, for example, that many women don't know that if a doctor prescribes a mastectomy bra, insurance will likely pay for it.
Braz Cauz needs the continued help and support of the community to reach its goals.
Local artists, art students, businesses, nonprofit organizations and community members, men and women, are invited to enter art and support the cause.
Breast cancer is something that touches so many lives, Cline said. The women who are fighting it are mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters and aunts.
"Breast cancer isn't just in October," Batchelder said. "It doesn't go away in October. It's amazing how the community, from DeBary to DeLand gets that. They're always wearing their inner pink ribbons."

Indiana college endowments are making a long climb back from the recession, but the recovery has been slow and frustrating for schools facing budget cuts and pressure to limit tuition increases and provide more financial aid.
Endowments at the state's two largest public universities, Indiana University and Purdue University, rose above pre-recession levels by June 30, 2011, according to the National Association of College and University Business Officers. Purdue's climbed 15 percent, to $2 billion, while IU's inched up 2 percent, to $1.6 billion.
But performance at other schools varied widely, the Indianapolis Business Journal reported (http://bit.ly/TCjRyx ). Indiana Wesleyan University's endowment was 29 percent higher than it was in 2008, while Ball State University's was 26 percent lower.
"You see a lot of universities going all over the map," said Ken Redd, the association's director of research and policy analysis.

Face the truth: some people like to abuse the vulnerable
Last night Panorama broadcast a film, shot in secret, depicting yet more abusive behaviour of social care workers. This time the footage was of an elderly woman with dementia being slapped, roughly handled and verbally abused.
In addition to this mistreatment the staff the staff failed to interact in any positive way with the woman - not even a greeting or using her name. Her daughter said there was "no joy, no tenderness, no empathy- nothing".
Despite the concerns of her family, who noticed severe bruising and a change in their mother's demeanour, no action, it is claimed, was taken. If this was the case, it was no doubt on the mistaken belief that staff could not possibly do such things; there must be another explanation.
Wrong, wrong and wrong again.
Sadly, it is a recurring and well known fact that there is a very small minority of people who are attracted to work in social care, nursing, teaching and so on precisely because they will have access to vulnerable children and adults. People who enjoy targeting and doing harm to others who are powerless to fight back; sometimes alone in the privacy of a bedroom or bathroom, sometimes grandstanding in front of others (such as the scenes in Winterbourne View), and sometimes invidiously causing harm and then being seen to be the one who gets the credit for helping (as in Munchausen's by Proxy).
It is a very small minority but they have always been with us and few are caught and so despite the use of CRB (Criminal Record Bureau) checks, they continue to haunt the most vulnerable.
Yet we must continue to trust; good social care practice is based on a relationship of trust.
My experience, from the perspective of an employer, has always been that social care workers give of their best and show more goodwill when trusted; the vast majority would never think to deliberately harm another person. The steps taken to prevent the small minority of abusers from gaining employment or to weed them out of existing roles must be proportionate to the risk of not undervaluing the good work of the vast majority.
However if you are a relative of someone who is receiving a care service or you are looking for a service such scandals will understandably cause you to be very concerned. Simply checking the Care Quality Commission website is clearly insufficient reassurance.
I suggest there are some safeguards you can take and suggest you ask the following five questions:
1. Is the service aware of the risk of abuse and what steps does it take to create an open culture; for example are there well publicised whistle-blowing procedures in place and are staff confident in using these without fear of reprisals; can you speak to anyone at any time, are there any restrictions for access and are they just as welcoming when the manager is off duty?
2. Is the service proactive in notifying you of concerns, no matter how small and no matter how often they prove to be completely innocent; does the service always take what you say seriously, will it always investigate and does it do the same for all its staff by encouraging reflective practice and actively promoting whistle blowing?
3. How rigorous is the staff recruitment over and above simply doing a CRB check and taking up employment references? Does the service use personality profiling (PDF on external site), as MacIntyre does. Does the interview use scenario questions relevant to the service that try to predict how candidates will behave once appointed and does the employer use families and individuals in the selection process?
4. Once appointed, are all staff regularly supervised and their day to day practice assessed and developed? How does this take place, in particular to encourage reflective practice and again are families and individuals involved?
5. Finally speak to other families and the individuals living there and ask they what they think of the service; have their concerns been taken seriously, is the manager open or defensive, what works well and what is not so good, and so on?
One final thought about personal responsibility - it is essential that all social care staff are fully accountable for their own actions and this needs to be explicit in terms of their behaviours and actions. Values based interviewing and training is insufficient unless it is explicitly linked to practice.
Or, to quote one of my most common mantras: "People experience our behaviours and not our values".
Comments ...
Excellent blog. I totally agree with your check-list. I also think providers have a duty to support people receiving support to connect with their local community - so others, beyond family and paid staff are watching out for an individual's welfare. Organisations, such as Certitude, that are actively supporting people with profound learning disabilities to connect with their community reflect a culture of openness and transparency which is one where shocking abuse of the kind we have seen at Winterbourne View, or in this most recent Panorama programme, is less likely to occur.
I wholeheartedly agree with the above comments. The film made me think about when staff don't get verbal feedback from users of a service, it is so tempting to talk between themselves, sometimes moaning about conditions or checking on social diaries. Is it easier for people to be dehumanised and excluded when they are not speaking? (Thankfully this is not inevitable!) Not an excuse for poor or inhuman practice but understanding what is going on helps us to make changes.
The Check List above is not useable by the many users of care services in their own home. Direct Payments means being an employer and buying the care services needed. After ten years experience as such, I am usually able to spot the potential problem employees and by problem I mean their attitude to me and their trustworthiness. But I bring to this process years of experience in employment law, local government practice and counsellor training and despite physical, sensory and cognitive dis-abilities feel, so far, able to cope with those who apply to work for me. However, many interviewees think home care is a soft option, when they have experienced being unemployable or unable to commit to regular employment. I don't use the local Job Centre since they sent for interview a woman whose CRB form listed convictions for fraud and violence ! Even those with spotless CRBs are still a potential problem.
Many interviewees expect home care work to be a way of having their emotional needs satisfied, or an outlet for their need to feel superior to the cared for person. When interviewing I question very closely interviewees' understanding of my requirement of respect for my autonomy and my privacy. Even those who profess appreciation of those conditions of employment, do not understand that those terms mean I set the rules. The good ones stay with me for years - the majority last just days, or at most weeks. Its hard work. For me !
Now I have to get back to the numerous annual assessments and audits required of me by social services departments and various sections of the NHS, in order that I may continue to be cared for in my own home. And there is no retirement for me from that work - until I am no longer economically able to be cared for at home (hopefully never) ... then I will have to be strong enough to deal with care home staff (see above !) who may not be as well interviewed and trained as my own !!!
That's Life in Disabilityshire.
Thanks Sally for taking the time and trouble to comment and pointing out the important differences between support services purchased via a DP in non-registered settings - compared with other settings.
The annual assessments and audits (form filling) sounds a nightmare and I suspect is largely a waste of time, effort and money. Later this year the DH is launching the 'red tape challenge'(this is an attempt to reduce bureaucracy goes across the whole of government, and being carried-out dept by dept). Look out for it on the DH website... and perhaps comment.
Thanks Sally - we should love you to do a personal checklist from your experience of recruiting Personal Assistants - what would be your five questions or pieces of advice that others receiving home support should consider? If you were willing then we could help you construct a blog post. Skills for Care are increasing their support for people using Direct Payments and I am sure they would like to hear more too.
My email is: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you John and Bill for responding and apols for delayed acknowledgement - this week's energy has been spent warning, sacking and then protecting myself against a bad employee. Both your comments are of interest but alas, not possible for me ... In the last fourteen years of ill health and resulting impairments, two years were spent too ill to cope, ten years were spent volunteering, blogging, campaigning, fighting the good fight ... and now I am two years into not having the spare capacity to do that anymore - but there are many more up and coming campaigners out there ... so please visit the world of Blogging Against Disablism Day
I have been a home carer since 97, started with the council. (care in the community should have stayed with the council) we were put into a trust then passed onto a private company the other year. Over the years I have noticed many of the carers employed since leaving the council do not have the same caring nature. not sure what it is, but pay and conditions do affect carers.
I have seen and heard evidence of that with my own eyes- carers being sharp and rough with a client because they are only getting so many minutes, they are not paid travel time and other reasons, I would never be like that myself its wrong we all know that even management know it but it is going on like crazy out here. Even if this carer is reported. management never seem to do anything- must be because it is harder for them to employ staff on the low pay and conditions, people like that should not be in the job. carers or managers.
I think care in the community should go back to being managed by the council- we were told we were put into a trust then private agency because it was costing the council to much, but looking at it all now -because of the mess and the need for the council to make new posts and employ more to over see it all on higher wages it must be costing us all more than in the past when the council employed us carers, as it is now less is spent on us and the client.
Agencies need to make a profit, even the company I work for who say they are a not for profit charity is a bit misleading, they make a profit but it all goes back on things not really needed or important and over staffing the head office with very high paid people behind a desk.
Us Carers are only paid for the time we are in the clients home and you can be given no hours a day or even just 15mins or an hour or as many hours as they can give you all over the borough, so management need to employ people that do not need to earn a full wage or can afford to be out longer than they are paid for. We have many that only need to work the 16hours (it may have gone up - not sure)to get the social. so many are just doing the work for that reason, they may not like the work or be right for the job but they can get the few hours they need to claim benefits.
Other than pay and conditions affecting some carers attitude to the work and clients, is the importance of the work it seems to go to some peoples heads :( and yes some people/carers like to abuse the vulnerable
The client is most important and then us carers, we do some work of the nurses and social workers along with the usual hard care work. It is a very important job, the frail and elderly need and rely on us we are there with them every day- but over the years I have noticed the power of that all goes to many carers heads. They act as though they are important (if you know what I mean) being sharp, rude and bossy to the clients even to other carers, in our company that type of person seems to get on and get the work they want.
Management needs to be trained to be able to stop that type of person not encourage it as many do now.
Also management need to run the office for us out here doing the actual work, there are some days we out here have important problem that need to be dealt with, we phone our office and there is no one there for us, because they are on training courses or in workshops - this has to stop it is more important we have management and back up there all the time no off on training courses or work shops and they are for ever having meeting when you phone.
I am a good carer and I can see what is/has gone wrong but not got the words to really get my point across to make a difference so im just writing in places like this and tweeting links hoping you out there with the words and important voices can help sort it all out. Because as I have said before, no amount of cameras spying on people, no amount of training will make a rotten carer decent. Care in the community and the carers that do the work need to be treated with the importance they deserve, and paid a good wage and managers need to be trained in the importance of employing the right type of person for that work, and keeping them not just employing anyone that can work for less hours and pay.
Thanks very much indeed for leaving your comment Vicky. It must be almost impossible for you and your colleagues to carry out home care well if you're only allowed a 15 minute visit.
But I'm not sure that it's the type of organisation delivering the care and support that is the thing that really matters. The fact is there is a funding crisis in social care which has been horribly exacerbated by the huge cuts to councils – from central government (and we probably haven't seen anything yet!): which means they are trying to do more and more, for less and less money.
Some people call this a 'race to the bottom' meaning that some councils look for the lowest price available ... which in turn will eventually mean that the quality of the support being delivered suffers. (It must do – mustn't it?) It's like this because no government has ever treated social care as a priority – Tony Blair said his government would sort out the funding but he never did – and that was before the financial crisis. Abuse, bullying, rough handling, being verbally aggressive is always wrong – carers are in a position of trust and they have a duty of care ... but if the price keeps going down and down, the frail and vulnerable will suffer and eventually the system will collapse.
I did see the programme on-line the other day it had Fiona Philips presenting. And yes it's shocking, when people older or otherwise are palmed off to people i.e private companies who only see pounds and pence signs what do you expect. And to add to it they pay peanuts to staff. So the people who some say (as I have meet some carers who do a very nice job) just do the bear minimum as they treat the people who they care for as product on a supermarket shelf rather than a real person. If carers get paid more will staff be motivated more, they might be?
Will it change it, might do, but not in my lifetime. But we must keep on at the government and local councils to do better for the people we all care for, no matter the age of the person.
I am now 60. Do I dread getting too old to care for myself, of course I do. If the system is bad now what is it going to be like in years to come?
The elderly and the disabled have always been bottom of the pile with governments and the general public.
How can we expect our communities to behave in a civilised way when government ministers 'fiddle' the books, prime ministers are called to rights over wars, newspaper goings on etc? The state of the country is awful, lots of people only care about how much money they have.
A country should be judged by the way it treats the more vulnerable in our society.
I think our care system says it all

The Berkley School District is working to respond to a new Michigan Department of Education requirement for schools with large gaps in performance that could result in a number of student transfers within the district.
As part of a set of mandates for state-designated "Focus Schools," announced last week along with Adequate Yearly Progress results, districts will have to allow a number of students to move out of any school in that category and into another designated school within the district beginning in the 2012-13 school year.
The requirement only applies to Focus Schools that receive Title I dollars, which are provided through a federal program to help fund schools with high percentages of students from low-income families. Norup International School is the only builiding in the Berkley School District that has been labeled a Focus School and receives Title I funding.
The Focus School designation – applied to 358 schools in 176 districts across the state – is one of three new categories identified by the MDE, which released its statewide school report cards Thursday.

|Discipline, Tier 3
|Other information
|Related buff
- Great magics are possible with sufficient faith and will.[1]
Inner Focus is a temporary buff that can be acquired from the Discipline talent tree. When activated, it reduces the Mana cost of your next spell by 100% and increases its critical effect chance by 25%.
- This ability does not trigger the Global Cooldown.
- Cooldown shortened to 2.4 minutes (144 sec) with Aspiration.
Tips and Tactics
- Is often used in conjunction with Devouring Plague or Prayers, due to their huge mana costs. It is especially useful for Prayer of Healing and Divine Hymn, as these spells use both aspects of Inner Focus.
- It may be useful to use it early in long fights, to be able to use it more than once.
- Because Inner Focus reduces your next spell's cost to 0, the next spell cast does not trigger the five second rule for casting, allowing you to regenerate mana as if you were not casting. Chained with a Holy Concentration's Clearcasting proc and spirit increasing trinkets, this can allow you to regenerate a truly massive amount of mana in combat.
- This can be converted to an exellent oh s***t button by Disc Priests, since it affects all ticks of Penance. At higher levels its effectiveness will be reduced, however.
Past changes
- As of Patch 2.4, Chastise now benefits from Inner Focus. In addition, Starshards no longer consumes Inner Focus. Also, Touch of Weakness and Shadowguard will no longer consume the Inner Focus charge when triggered.

Misterioso (Thelonious Monk album)
|Live album by Thelonious Monk Quartet
|August 7, 1958
|Five Spot Café in New York City
|Hard bop
|Orrin Keepnews
|Thelonious Monk albums chronology
Misterioso is a live album by American jazz ensemble the Thelonious Monk Quartet, released in 1958 by Riverside Records. Pianist and composer Thelonious Monk had overcome an extended period of career difficulties by the time of his 1957 residency at the Five Spot Café in New York City. He returned to the venue the following year for a second residency and recorded Misterioso on August 7, 1958, leading a quartet that featured drummer Roy Haynes, bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik, and tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin.
The title of Misterioso refers to Monk's reputation as an enigmatic, challenging musician. The album's cover art, which appropriates Giorgio de Chirico's 1915 painting The Seer, was part of Riverside's attempt to capitalize on Monk's popularity with listeners such as the intellectual and bohemian audiences at the Five Spot Café. The album features four of his earlier compositions, which Monk reworked live. It was one of the first successful live recordings of his music and was produced by Orrin Keepnews, who said that Monk played more distinctly than on his studio albums in response to the audience's enthusiasm.
In contemporary reviews of Misterioso, music critics complimented Monk's performance but were critical of Griffin, whose playing they felt was out of place with the quartet. It was remastered and reissued in 1989 and 2012 by Original Jazz Classics. Since its initial reception, the album has received retrospective acclaim from critics, who viewed Griffin's playing as a highlight.
After twenty years of career struggles and obscurity, Thelonious Monk had become a jazz star with a residency at the Five Spot Café in New York City's East Village. In his first stable job in years, he helped transform the small bar into one of the city's most popular venues, as it attracted bohemians, hipsters, and devout fans of Monk's music.[1] Monk's employment there was a result of an appeal by his manager Harry Colomby to the State Liquor Authority (SLA) to restore Monk's cabaret card; he was stripped of the card in 1951 when he refused to betray friend and pianist Bud Powell to the police and was convicted of narcotics possession as a consequence.[2]
Although the loss limited Monk as a performer, he recorded several albums of original music and received much attention from the press, which led Colomby to argue to the SLA that he was "a drug-free, law-abiding citizen, whose productivity and growing popularity as a recording artist demonstrates his standing as a responsible working musician".[3] In May 1957, the SLA said Monk needed to get a club owner to hire him first, so Colomby considered the Five Spot Café: "I wanted to find a place that was small. I once drove past this place in the Village and there was a bar and I heard music ... A place where poets hung out."[4] Joe Termini, who co-owned the venue with his brother Iggy, testified at Monk's police hearing, which resulted in his card being reinstated.[4]
In July 1957, Monk began to perform at the venue for six months with saxophonist John Coltrane, bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik, and drummer Shadow Wilson in his group.[5] However, by the time Monk's employment there ended in December, he had lost Wilson to poor health, while Coltrane left in pursuit of a solo career and a return to Miles Davis's group.[6] After returning to New York City's club scene with a new quartet, Monk received an eight-week offer from Joe and Iggy Termini to play the Five Spot Café beginning on June 12, 1958.[7] He played most nights during the weekend to capacity crowds with Abdul-Malik, drummer Roy Haynes, and tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, who had performed with Monk before.[8] Griffin was unfamiliar with all of his repertoire and, like Coltrane, found it difficult to solo over Monk's comping during their first few weeks: "Any deviation, one note off, and you sound like you're playing another tune, and you're not paying attention to what's going on. And it's so evident ... there's no space."[9] During their performances, Monk often left the stage for a drink at the bar or danced around, which gave Griffin an opportunity to play with more space. However, the quartet eventually developed a sufficient rapport and grasp of the set list.[9]
Recording and production[edit]
Producer Orrin Keepnews attempted to record the quartet live at the Five Spot Café on two different occasions in 1958. His first recording of the ensemble was of two sets in their July 9 show. Monk was disappointed with the recording and did not allow his label Riverside Records to release it, although it was ultimately released posthumously.[9] Keepnews returned to the venue on August 7 when Monk performed an evening show in the club's overcrowded room set up with recording equipment.[10] It yielded both Misterioso and the 1958 album Thelonious in Action, which was released first.[11] The show was believed to be the first successful live recording of Monk's music, until his 1957 concert recording with Coltrane at Carnegie Hall was discovered and released in 2005.[12] The two live albums from the Five Spot Café are the only recordings that document Monk's time with Griffin.[13]
According to Keepnews, who produced Misterioso, the album and its title track were titled as a slight play on the words "mist" and "mystery" to evoke the perception of Monk's music as enigmatic and challenging at the time.[14] Jazz critic Neil Tesser said that the word, which is Latin for "in a mysterious manner", was "used most often as a musical direction in classical music scores. But by the time Monk's quartet recorded this music [in 1958] 'Misterioso' had largely come to identify Monk himself."[15]
To capitalize on Monk's popularity with intellectual and bohemian fans from venues such as the Five Spot Café, Riverside released Misterioso and reissues of his older albums with designs referencing 20th century works of art.[16] The album's cover art is a reproduction of Giorgio de Chirico's 1915 painting The Seer, which was originally painted as a tribute to French poet Arthur Rimbaud.[17] Monk biographer Robin Kelley argued that, because Rimbaud had "called on the artist to be a seer in order to plumb the depths of the unconscious in the quest for clairvoyance", the painting was the best choice as the album's cover: "The one-eyed figure represented the visionary; the architectural forms and the placement of the chalkboard evoked the unity of art and science—a perfect symbol for an artist whose music has been called 'mathematical.'"[16] According to musicologist Robert G. O'Meally, the cover reflects "the mysterious violations of convention of perspective, the silences, and oddly attractive angles (the overall futuristic quality) in Monk's music".[18]
Monk resumes his piano playing during "In Walked Bud" after Johnny Griffin's fast-to-moderate saxophone solo.[13]

According to jazz critic Gary Giddins, Misterioso is a hard bop record.[19] The songs performed for the album were arranged by Monk, who reworked four of his earlier compositions.[20] Keepnews remarked on his artistry in the album's liner notes: "[I]t should be axiomatic that Monk is a constantly self-renewing composer-arranger-musician, that each new recording of an 'old' number, particularly with different personnel, represents a fresh view of it—almost a new composition."[14] According to Keepnews, Monk played piano more vividly and less introspectively than on his studio recordings in response to the enthusiastic crowds he drew nightly to the Five Spot Café.[14]
On "Nutty", Griffin incorporated lines from "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" and exhibited a frenetic swing that was complemented by counterplay from Haynes and Monk.[21] "Blues Five Spot", a new composition by Monk for the album, is a twelve-bar blues homage to the Five Spot Café and featured solos from each player.[22] Griffin and Monk transfigured chord structures and melodies throughout the performance. Griffin's solo vamp maintained the rhythm while quoting lines from other pieces, including the theme song for the animated Popeye theatrical shorts;[21] he played "The Sailor's Hornpipe" at the end of "Blues Five Spot".[23]
The quartet began "In Walked Bud" with an eight-bar piano intro and thirty-two-bar form by the quartet. Griffin began his solo a minute into the song with saxophone wails. In the third minute, Monk did not play, while Griffin played fast phrases at the top of his register with intermittently slower R&B and free jazz elements. Monk shouted approvingly throughout Griffin's solo before he resumed piano and played a two-minute theme.[13] "Just a Gigolo", a standard, was the only song on the album not composed by Monk, who performed it in a brief, unaccompanied version.[24] It is played as a single chorus repeated at length.[23]
The title track, first recorded for Blue Note Records in 1948 with vibraphonist Milt Jackson, is one of Monk's most influential recordings and is based on a series of minor second clusters.[25] His performance of the song at the Five Spot Café showcased his idiosyncratic playing of one blue note next to another. Monk superimposed musical ideas that deviated from the song's original tonal center, adding a C blue note to the D-flat blue note.[14] Haynes' subdued drumming backed Griffin's aggressive bop playing and extended solo on "Misterioso".[21]
Release and reception[edit]
Misterioso was released in 1958 by Riverside and was Monk's eighth album for the label.[26] Writing for Hi Fi Review, critic Nat Hentoff said the album is "not one of his best" and observed "too little space for Monk's soloing and somewhat too much" for Griffin, whose saxophone cry and timing are more impressive than his solos. Hentoff also believed Haynes and Abdul-Malik do not support Monk as creatively as Wilbur Ware and Art Blakey had on his previous Riverside albums, where he said Monk was in more compelling form.[27] In 1959, Monk was voted the pianist of the year in an annual poll of international jazz critics from Down Beat magazine, who said he can be heard "at his challenging, consistently creative best" on Misterioso.[28] Upon the album's 1964 release in the United Kingdom, Gramophone magazine's Charles Fox gave Misterioso a positive review and found its music "well up to standard", with exceptional playing by Monk and the rhythm section, particularly Haynes, who shows "once again what a great drummer he was then—and, indeed, still is today". However, Fox felt Griffin did not fit in with the quartet and overshadowed Monk's compositions, finding his solos diffuse and characterized by trivial quotations rather than musical development.[23]
In the All Music Guide to Jazz (2002), Lindsay Planer gave Misterioso five out of five stars and said that the quartet "continually reinvent" their strong, cohesive sound with "overwhelming and instinctual capacities" throughout the album. Planer praised Griffin, whom he said "consistently liberates the performances".[21] AllMusic's Scott Yanow also gave the album five stars and stated that it is slightly better than Thelonious in Action because of Griffin's "memorable improvising on a heated version" of "In Walked Bud".[29] Music historian Ted Gioia listed Monk and Griffin's "freewheeling" performance on the title track as one of his recommended versions of the composition.[30] In his 2009 biography Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original, Robin Kelley wrote that because Griffin had mastered Monk's songs at that point, his solos on Misterioso and Thelonious in Action were excursive and spirited.[9] According to critic Robert Christgau, both this album and Brilliant Corners (1957) represent Monk's artistic peak.[13] He also cited Misterioso as his favorite album of all time and, in a 2009 article for The Barnes & Noble Review, wrote that Griffin's tenor solo on "In Walked Bud" remains his "favorite five minutes of recorded music".[31] Liam McManus of PopMatters was less enthusiastic about Griffin's playing, which he believed was occasionally heavy-handed and detracted from the music. Nonetheless, he gave Misterioso a score of 9 out of 10 and strongly recommended it as a great album of Monk in a casual performance with his quartet.[32]
In 1989, Misterioso was digitally remastered by mastering engineer Joe Tarantino for the album's CD reissue. Tarantino used 20-bit K2 Super Coding System technology at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California.[33] On May 15, 2012, Concord Music Group also reissued the album as part of their Original Jazz Classics Remasters series, along with Jazz at Massey Hall (1953) and Bill Evans' 1962 album Moon Beams. The reissue featured 24-bit remastering by Tarantino and three bonus tracks, including a medley of "Bye-Ya" and "Epistrophy" performed with drummer Art Blakey. Concord vice president Nick Phillips, who produced the reissue series, said that Misterioso is "an all-time classic live Thelonious Monk record" and "an indelible snapshot of Monk live in the late '50s."[34] In his 2012 review, McManus wrote that as with most reissues of jazz albums, the bonus tracks on Misterioso are valuable and showcase uninhibited performances of Monk's past compositions.[32]
