On the eve on the 2012 Newport Bermuda Race skippers, navigator and crews are buzzing about breaking records. Chris Branning, navigator of Mark Watson's Team Tiburon, said last evening, 'I think we'll break the record… but someone else will set the record.'
George David's Rambler (90) shown here at the Start of Class 10 in the Newport Bermuda Race in 2010. Be sure to track her on Yellowbrick in the 2012 race as she goes for line honors again in the 635-mile classic. Weather forcasters fredict favorable conditions for a recors breaking run to Bermuda.
Mark Watson joked, 'Finishing so early will really hurt my bar tab at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Bar, but I'll be able to spend more time with my family in Bermuda.' Sunday is Father's Day.
The race for the open division is just over five hours old. Perfect conditions with spinnakers everywhere for the first time since 2002.
Winds should build down the course and across the Gulf Stream then lighten around Bermuda's 'Happy Valley' on Sunday. The smaller, slower boats may have a tough time clawing down the course as the breeze lightens and shifts to the south.
The Newport Bermuda Race has two records, one for Open Division boats at 48hr, 28min, 31sec set by Hasso Plattner's Morning Glory in 2004 and the 'official' record for traditional designs set by Roy Disney's 75 foot Pyewacket is at 53hr, 39 min 22 sec.
Branning said they had run their race routing program Thursday afternoon and Bermuda's Team Tiburon, a Reichel/Pugh 74 (former Bella Mente) should finish around 0900 hrs on Sunday, covering the course in about 42 hours. He guessed that George David's Rambler would be the pacesetter.
Rambler, a Reichel/Pugh 90 from Hartford CT, is the largest boat in the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division, water ballasted but grandfathered in before movable ballast boats were moved into the Open Division. Branning said, 'A windy reach or a run are Rambler's points of sail. She will load the ballast tanks and blast on to Bermuda.'
'If the weather sets up as predicted, Rambler should beat us by three hours.' Branning estimated. That would put them at St. David's Lighthouse at Bermuda around 0600 setting a new traditional record of close to 39 hours.
Big boats in the Open Division may beat that. Mark Fliegner's Indio from Monaco, the 100 foot Wally designed by German Frers, could finish before sunrise and Jim Muldoon's Donnybrook, a cant-keeled 80 footer from Washington DC, and Med Spirit a Wellbourn 92 sailed by Michael D'Amelio of Boston MA would be right there, too.
In the Newport Bermuda Race this year, there will be a time delay in the early stages of the race to prevent competitors from using other yachts' positions for tactical advantage.
Tracking will be delayed by six hours for the first 48 hours of the race and then go to near-real-time reports every 30 minutes from each yacht. Expect to see a jump forward after 48 hours to the yacht's actual position. As yachts get within 15 miles of Bermuda the timing of reports will be more frequent.
As of June 14, there are 166 entries for the 48th Bermuda Race sailed since the race was founded in 1906.
St. David's Lighthouse Division: 96
Cruiser Division: 29
Double-handed Division: 18
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division: 16
Open Division: 6
Spirit of Tradition: 1
Dorade - She first raced in the Bermuda Race in 1930.

With the semester starting, students are beginning to focus on assignments and other project work. Today there is a great deal of information available for planners, but that can lead students to be overwhelmed (and use only a few available sources) or uncertain about how to use those sources that are available. Fortunately universities are coming up with resources to help students untangle these issues. My own institution just launched the very helpful http://digitalliteracy.cornell.edu/. The following tips are adapted from my guide for students doing final projects and theses (link at the end of this entry).
As I say in that document, it is very important for students to use sources of information well in a ways that is true to the content of the sources and also demonstrate respect for the need of the reader to make her own independent judgments about the strength of the evidence provided by sources.
For more on this and related topics go to http://www.annforsyth.net/forstudents.html and scroll to the "Essential Information" document at the bottom. The other very important section is the one on making an argument-just because X and Y both exist in the world does not mean X causes Y as much as a writer might like it to ..
Thanks to Ruth Kroeger for comments on this entry.

Conversations around the need to reform our public services, in particular health care, tend to be spoken in a language of institutions. We talk of a National Health Service as being synonymous with our personal health, as if the organisation itself stands apart from the millions of patients that it is there to serve. It is a curiously antiquated idea in the 21st century, one that owes itself more to the early days of the command-and-control welfare state than to a modern world steeped in the information age, one that is rapidly moving towards placing control in the hands of ever more informed consumers. Equally we too often think of health care in terms of emergencies, operations, ambulances and acute care. The prosaic reality is that it is the treatment of long-term conditions like diabetes, or mental health, which between them represent approaching a third of health care spending, that will govern the future affordability of state-funded health care - which we all want to thrive and survive.
In the Britain of 2012, people needing medical treatment for long-term conditions should not be supplicants, grateful for whatever they receive, but informed consumers. This means putting power and control of funds into the hands of individuals, and trusting them to be responsible. But responsibility can only be achieved by releasing control and ownership of services; to do this, we must move away from the institutional model of public services, towards a personal revolution that will place health care in the hands of individuals who are able to to take decisions and choices over how best their health care should be provided.
According to the OECD, public expenditure on health in the UK per capita works out at around £1842 per annum. Put into context, the average car owner spends £1720 a year on petrol. When it comes to health care, we should be as intimately acquainted with what is spent on our behalf as what is deducted from our salary every month. Yet for too long, the language of institutions has been able to mask from millions the decisions over how their taxes should be spent.
Already there is a growing demand for what has crudely been termed "personalisation". In the field of adult social care, direct payments and personal budgets are already having a revolutionary effect, giving greater independence to thousands. This personal revolution should go further; why should this not be extended to health care? Personal health budgets have the potential to revolutionise health care in Britain. Chronic conditions such as diabetes are the best example of how these budgets can turn patients into partners, able to shop around the NHS for the services that suit them. This could involve a notional budget with the NHS holding money for the patient and purchasing services on their behalf, an arrangement by which an independent organisation holds the money, or most radically, a direct payment where money is transferred directly to the patient to buy their own services.
The effect could be transformative: as it becomes clearer that the best health care service is a preventive service, delivered best when money for treating chronic conditions is linked to individual needs, personal budgets would open the door for chronic illnesses that cost the NHS billions to be controlled at an early stage. Through personal budget holding, a far greater degree of integration between services might also take place, since with patient care truly being centred around the patient, services would need to work for them, rather than being designed around what suits institutions.
These ideas are not new. The Blairite reformer Alan Milburn has talked about the principles for many years. He understood a decade ago that, for standards of health care to remain on an international par, there will always be the desire for people to spend more on their health care, and for that health care to be delivered with the patient placed at the heart of their care. Yet within the dogma of the Labour Party there was never the backing for the necessary radicalism that he needed. The opportunity that the present government has on personal budgets is to deliver what the Blairites could not.
The greatest economic liberal of all, William Gladstone, said that money should be left to "fructify in the pockets of the people". His words ring true today, especially in the NHS. Public services do not belong to the institutions, the managers, or even the professionals, they belong to the people that use them. A personal revolution in health care would give control of health care services to those who ultimately own them.

Life in the Marketplace of Ideas
The New "Game-Changer" President of Gordon College
I'm very blessed with a wife who is not overly impressed with me and can keep me straight on these sorts of things. Rebecca has a remarkable way of keeping my feet grounded. We very much view this opportunity as a partnership. So Rebecca will help me from getting too big for my britches.
I've also learned from my research that it's important for leaders to have a small group of friends who can hold them accountable. As I move to Boston, I'll try to find a small group of friends who can do that for me. I'm blessed to know a number of wonderful people here, and I very much hope that I can find that group who can hold me to account, ask the tough questions that need to be asked, and make sure that I'm living in line with the values I espouse.
You're an award-winning teacher with a reputation for mentoring undergraduates. How do you envision your interaction with students at Gordon?
I love college students. It's what drew me to higher education in the first place. It's wonderful to be involved in young people's lives when they're asking such big questions and dreaming such worthy dreams. My hope and great desire is to be present in the lives of Gordon's students in the way I've been present in the lives of my students at Rice.
It will surely be different. In some ways I will have a wider platform of engagement with them. But at the same time, it will feel different because I won't be in the classroom next year. I'm going to miss the classroom. I love the classroom. But I'm hopeful that there will be ways that I can continue my close interaction with college students. They are what make the job fun.
Finally, are there ideas you're particularly excited to pursue, strategies you're particularly excited to employ, as you prepare to take the helm of the school on July 1st?
My first order of business will be listening to my colleagues and the different constituencies at Gordon. That's the kind of researcher I am, and I expect I will bring those same sensibilities to my new job.
At the same time I think it's an amazing institution that more people need to hear about. I hope to be able to use my inaugural year as an occasion for us to raise awareness around the country and around the world about the terrific education students get at Gordon College, and the impressive work that the dedicated faculty and staff are doing day-in and day-out at Gordon.
Since I've been able to study amazing people in the course of my research, I hope to persuade some of them to pay us a visit, and in the process to bring more people to see the terrific institution we know as Gordon College.
For more information on the selection of D. Michael Lindsay as the new President of Gordon College, please visit the school website here. Gordon College is a multidenominational Christian college of the liberal arts and sciences on Boston's North Shore, offering majors in 38 fields with graduate programs in education and music education. Gordon is nationally recognized for excellence in academics and in character building, and ranks as one of the nation's top Christian colleges.

Look at the area right above a used deep fryer: you will see a sticky goo that won't come off. Ever. And venting the area doesn't help in the least. When that goo was fresh, it was frying oil.
In other words: don't mess with the fumes.

Stores looted in Timbuktu - reportComment on this story
Timbuktu, Mali -
Hundreds of Malians looted stores in Timbuktu on Tuesday, saying the shops belonged to "Arabs" and "terrorists" linked to the radical Islamists who occupied the desert town for 10 months.
The angry crowd plundered stores they told AFP belonged to Arabs, Mauritanians and Algerians who they say supported the al-Qaeda-linked Islamists who retreated from the fabled town ahead of its recapture by French-led troops on Monday.
An AFP journalist witnessed the looters finding arms and military communications equipment in some of the shops.
However most of the residents of the impoverished town on the edge of the Sahara desert, hit by food and water shortages, seized whatever they could get their hands on: televisions, satellites, food and furniture.
Some fought amongst each other for items while others smashed in shop doors, emptying them within minutes.
In the suburb of Abaradjou, a man living in a former bank converted by the Islamists into a "committee of promotion of virtue and prevention of vice", was dragged out by a hysterical crowd who then pillaged the building, taking even office chairs.
The bearded middle-aged man was arrested by Malian troops who were in the town after French soldiers who lead the offensive withdrew into the suburbs.
"He is an Islamist", one solder said, as troops turned their weapons toward the crowd to prevent them from lynching the man. The mob yelled: "He is not from here, he is a terrorist!"
Malian soldiers put an end to the looting in the middle of the morning.
"We will not let people pillage. But it is true that weapons were found in some shops," an officer said on condition of anonymity.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Monday urged the Malian authorities to protect light-skinned citizens from reprisal attacks from the population, as ethnic tensions rise between Tuaregs and Arabs, and black Malians. - Sapa-AFP

text: This is just to defer a discussion that began in the Religion forum concerning The Advent of Color. It seems there are two approaches: the seven note diatonic scale, i.e., do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do, developed by Guido D'Arezzo around 1,000 years ago in tribute to Saint John; then there's the twelve note chromatic scale, which is apparently more common and currently in use today. Anyone care to put their two cents worth in here? .. It's a big debate over in the other forum.

Article: [Secondary prevention of esophageal candidiasis with fluconazole in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In order to evaluate the efficacy of 200 mg single weekly dose of fluconazole in the secondary prophylaxis of esophageal candidiasis in AIDS, 18 patients who had an endoscopic confirmation of cure after an esophageal candidiasis, were studied. Mean follow up period was 12.5 months (limit: 1.5-18) and 11 patients completed prophylaxis for 11.2 months (limit: 2-18). Fluconazole was interrupted in the 7 remaining patients due to different reasons after 10 months and they were followed for 3.2 more months (limit: 1-5). Ten patients relapsed with a total of 17 episodes (7 oropharyngeal and 10 esophageal). Only 4 of the 18 patients (22%) relapsed while on correct prophylactic treatment. On the other hand, 6 out of 7 patients (86%) relapsed in the absence of fluconazole (p less than 0.001). The relapse incidence rate in both groups was 0.09 and 1.46/100 patients/day respectively (p less than 0.001) and its appearance was much earlier (1.3 versus 9.5 months) in patients not receiving prophylaxis. Relapses did not correlate with CD4 cell level, HIV-Ag level, opportunistic infections, use of other drugs or mortality. Fluconazole was interrupted in 3 patients because of alternations in liver enzymes although its relationship with the drug was not confirmed. These results indicate that the administration of Fluconazole 200 mg/week in a single dose is very efficiency in secondary prophylaxis of esophageal candidiasis in AIDS patients.Revista Clínica Española 03/1992; 190(3):115-9. · 1.06 Impact Factor

Article: [Plasma hypoxanthine and intraerythrocytic ATP in umbilical cord blood as markers of perinatal hypoxia].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We determined blood pH, plasma hypoxanthine (Hx) and intraerythrocyte ATP (iATP) concentrations in umbilical cord blood from 20 normal newborn infants (10 delivered by the vaginal route and 10 by caesarean section) and in 18 newborns with clinical signs of perinatal asphyxia (9 with meconium stained amniotic fluid and 9 with fetal bradycardia). Blood pH was significantly lower in infants with clinical signs of perinatal asphyxia (p less than 0.01). Four newborns with meconium or bradycardia had pH values within normal control levels. Hx concentrations were lower in infants delivered by caesarean section with respect to normal infants born by the vaginal route (p less than 0.05). Newborns with meconium or fetal bradycardia showed Hx concentrations higher than normal newborns (p less than 0.01), but 2 infants with signs of perinatal hypoxia had Hx levels within the normal newborn range. All babies with meconium or bradycardia had an iATP concentration lower than control infants (p less than 0.01). These results indicate that: the pH and Hx determinations in the newborn may underestimate hypoxia and, that measurement of iATP may be useful parameters to asses perinatal hypoxia.Anales espanoles de pediatria 08/1989; 31(1):5-9.

ABSTRACT: Acquired hemophilia (idiopathic or secondary) is an uncommon clinical condition. A 70-year-old male had a severe hemorrhagic disorder, and an IgG inhibitor of the factor VIII:C was detected in plasma. During the acute phase he was treated with packed red blood cells, frozen fresh plasma and polyvalent immunoglobulins. The hemorrhagic features subsided but the circulating anticoagulant persisted. The administration of an activated prothrombin complex permitted to make the diagnosis of the underlying disease, a highly malignant T type lymphoma. During the treatment with corticosteroids and polychemotherapy the inhibitor activity disappeared.Medicina Clínica 07/1989; 93(1):23-5. · 1.42 Impact Factor
Article: [Purine transport through the blood-brain barrier in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The transfer of purines through the hematoencephalic barrier is poorly understood. Allopurinol inhibits the enzyme xanthine oxidase and increases xanthine and hypoxanthine plasma levels, but it should not increase the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of these purines owing to the absence of xanthine oxidase in the central nervous system (CNS). In the present study we evaluated the plasma and CSF concentrations of uric acid, hypoxanthine, xanthine and inosine in the baseline state and after 7 days of allopurinol administration (5-10 mg/kg/24 h) in 4 patients with hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) deficiency. The CSF uric acid level was positively correlated with its plasma level (r = 0.93, p less than 0.01). The CSF hypoxanthine and xanthine concentrations were, as a mean, 5 and 2 times higher, respectively, in patients with HPRT deficiency than in 4 control individuals. As hypoxanthine basically comes from adenine nucleotides, while xanthine comes from guanine nucleotides, this finding suggests that in the CNS of patients with HPRT deficiency there is a higher degradation level of adenine nucleotides than of guanine nucleotides. Allopurinol increased plasma concentration of hypoxanthine, xanthine and inosine 4, 10 and 3 times, respectively, in relation to baseline values. In CSF, the mean increase of hypoxanthine and xanthine concentration was 17.5 mumol and 7.7 mumol, respectively, whereas inosine level was unchanged. These results suggest that in HPRT deficiency hypoxanthine and xanthine may be transferred to the brain.Medicina Clínica 03/1989; 92(5):167-70. · 1.42 Impact Factor

Article: Renal Handling of Uric Acid in Normal Subjects by Means of the Pyrazinamide and Probenecid Tests[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pyrazinamide and probenecid tests were used to study the renal mechanisms for urate excretion in 10 normal subjects in the state of low serum uric acid levels (below 3.5 mg/dl), normal serum urate concentrations (between 3.6 and 6.4 mg/dl) and high serum uric acid levels (above 6.5 mg/dl). Presecretory reabsorption of urate was above 99% in all three conditions of uricemia, indicating that filtered urate is nearly completely reabsorbed in the proximal tubule regardless of serum uric acid concentrations. Urate secretion was significantly higher and postsecretory reabsorption was significantly lower when serum uric acid was raised than when serum urate levels were normal or low. The findings indicate that both urate secretion and postsecretory reabsorption play a role in urate homeostasis in states of hyperuricemia.Nephron 02/1983; 35(3):183-6.

ABSTRACT: This report concerns the analysis of 100 cases of fever of unknown origin, defined according to the criteria of Petersdorf and Beeson. An etiological diagnosis could be reached in 77 cases, distributed as follows: infections, 32 cases; tumors, 14 cases; collagen diseases, 13 cases; various etiologies, 18 cases; and idiopathic, 23 cases of whom 20 had selflimited fever. There were 51 male and 49 female. The incidence of infectious diseases was significantly higher below age 40 when compared with the group of collagen diseases. Recurrent fever was common (43 cases) while continuous fever was unusual (3 cases). Recurrent fever was most frequent in neoplastic diseases, the difference in relation to the other groups being statistically significant (p less than 0.05). Chills, diffuse perspiration and myalgia were more frequent in infectious diseases (p less than 0.01) than in the other groups. Collagen diseases had significantly higher (p less than 0.05) white blood cell counts than neoplastic diseases, while the latter had significantly higher (p less than 0.01) serum lactic-dehydrogenase and alpha 2 globulin levels than infectious and collagen diseases. Hepatosplenomegaly was present more frequently in neoplastic than in infectious diseases. When evaluating diagnostic procedures it was noted that invasive techniques (arteriography, biopsy, laparoscopy, laparotomy) were essential to arrive to the final diagnosis in 47 cases, while noninvasive procedures (serological and immunological tests, bacteriology, conventional radiology, clinical course, and response to therapy) were sufficient in 22 cases. In eight cases the etiology of the fever could only be determined by post-mortem examination.Medicina Clínica 02/1981; 76(1):8-13. · 1.42 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Out of 23 cases with a final diagnosis of idiopathic fever, 20 had self-limited fever with complete resolution. Comparing the cases of self-limited fever with other groups of patients with fever of unknown origin, the following differences were apparent: compared with tumoral and collagen diseases, self-limited fever occurred more frequently below age 40, the difference being significant (p less than 0.01). Chills occurred more frequently in self-limited fever than in tumoral and collagen diseases, while the incidence was similar in infectious diseases. Infectious, tumoral and collagen diseases presented with significantly greater weight loss (p less than 0.01) than self-limited fever. A greater incidence of hepatosplenomegaly was noted in self-limited fever than in infectious diseases. Hemoglobin and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were significantly higher in self-limited fever than in the other illnesses. The NBT test was positive, with a reduction superior to 30% in the six cases in whom it was performed. In nine cases various invasive procedures were utilized: radiology, biopsy, laparoscopy (two cases), and laparotomy (one case). The data on the present series of self-limited idiopathic fever support an infectious origin of the disease because of the following: absence of an age difference with the group with a demonstrated infectious cause; fever of less than two months duration in most cases; presence of chills and less incidence of weight loss, anemia, and elevated ESR in relation to the other groups of fever of unknown origin; a positive NBT test; and spontaneous evolution to complete resolution of the disease.Medicina Clínica 02/1981; 76(1):14-7. · 1.42 Impact Factor
Article: [The spectrum of lupus nephropathy].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Clinical manifestations and immunological characteristics in a series of 15 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and renal involvement are presented. These findings have been correlated to different pathologic lesions and compared to another series of patients without renal involvement. The overall rate of renal involvement was 25 percent, with ages ranging from 14 to 47 years. A female predominance was noticed. Histopathologic findings were as follows: focal glomerulonephritis (five cases), and minimal changes (one case). Under a histological glomerulonephritis (two cases); membranous glomerulonephritis (one case), and minimal change (one case). Under a histological standpoint the earliest lesions had the worse prognosis. Patients with diffuse glomerulonephritis showed a high degree of renal function impairment. Urinary infection was present in half of the cases. A significant hyperlipidemia was found in patients with nephrosis. Proteinuria and abnormal urinary sediment were common findings in all histologic types. Antinuclear antibodies, were positive in 14 cases, with statistical significant high titres in diffuse glomerulonephritis. Serum immunoglobulins IgG and IgA were elevated. Decrease of serum complement levels (C3, C4, C3PA and C5) were found in patients with renal involvement.Medicina Clínica 11/1980; 75(6):229-34. · 1.42 Impact Factor

Mui Ne
Getting there and away
Construction of an airport in Binh Thuan district has started and should finish by 2020. Until then, your only chance to fly into the area is on a seaplane. It's not cheap at US$385 for a one-way ticket and runs once daily at 08:30 from Saigon. After a 30-minute flight, you will land on the eastern side of Mui Ne near Pandanus Resort and will have to take a taxi back to the bulk of the resorts.
Mui Ne doesn't have its own train station -- the closest is on the outskirts of Phan Thiet town. The train stopping here only runs once a day. From HCMC, it departs at 06:40 and usually arrives at 10:30. To HCMC, the train departs at 13:10 and arrives around 17:00. Tickets for soft-berth seats are 179,000 VND to Phan Thiet. You will automatically be given soft berth seats and have to specify hard berth seats, which are cheaper, if you want them. While you save a bit on time, it's more expensive than the bus. The taxi ride to Mui Ne will cost around 250,000 VND.
Open tour buses from all the usual suspects pass three times daily through Mui Ne. From Mui Ne, departure times are approximately 08:00, 13:30 and 01:30. Check with individual companies for small variations in pick-up times. From HCMC, the buses leave from around the Pham Ngu Lao area. Bus fares range from 100,000 VND to 130,000 VND depending on where you bought your ticket and what time you leave.
Onward from Mui Ne, two routes are open -- north to Phan Rang and then inland to Dalat (passing through Mui Ne at around 06:30 and 12:30, taking four hours), or north on the open tour route to Nha Trang (passing through at around 01:00 and 13:00, taking five hours).
If you're not travelling on the open tour system, buses head to Mui Ne from Mien Dong bus station in Ho Chi Minh City with five departures daily at 06:00, 07:00, 08:30, 12:00 and 14:30.
Getting Around
The best way to get around is by motorbike. The main road is easy to navigate (go north or go south) and not too dangerous by Vietnamese standards -- wearing a helmet is as always essential. Motorbikes can be hired for around US$6 a day, but the quality of machines varies greatly -- hunt around if reliability is a factor for you. Make sure your license is valid and check your insurance covers you if you have an accident. Plenty of xe om drivers float up and down the main road. At night, they tend to disappear and your only option will be either your rented motorbike or taxi.
Some hotels have bicycles to rent -- the seafront road is flat until just before Mui Ne village. Taxis are available for further away locations -- a collection usually hangs around outside the bigger resorts at the southern end of Mui Ne beach. If you are at a resort or restaurant and need a taxi, have the staff call one for you. To see the sights, tour companies offer private transport by jeep, available to hire by the day.

@webberton - don't feel sorry for Adrian Newey. There are certain people who just absolutely love solving problems and he's one if those. The more restrictions and changes they throw at him the more inventive he becomes. He may not have invented anything as fundamental to the structure of an F1 car as Colin Chapman did (for instance, making the engine a load bearing part of the car) but his design genius going back a quarter of a century now must mean he's up there among the all time greats.
I just hope we see more good looking cars on the grid after so many ugly stepped nose jobs in 2012. Last year of the V8s, lets have some great shapes please!

I used to really love Weather Report back in the day (Miles, I learned about later). A truly legendary band. Gotta dig out some of that stuff.
This from his website
Joe Zawinul was born in Earth time on 07 July 1932 and was born in Eternity time
on 11 September, 2007. He, and his music, will continue to inspire!
Great musician, great man. Time to pull out 'In a Silent Way' or 'Bitches Brew' and some Weather Report too.
If you don't know him here is one obit
Eclectic Keyboardist Joe Zawinul Dies at 75
Joe Zawinul helped bring the volume, distortion and electronics of rock into jazz through his work with Miles Davis and the group Weather Report. Zawinul died of cancer early Tuesday morning. He was 75.
What came to be called jazz-rock fusion drew howls of protest from purists. But it also drew praise from others for broadening the audience for jazz.
In the 1960s, playing in Cannonball Adderley's band, Zawinul penned his first hit: "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy." Pianist Herbie Hancock became friends with Zawinul right around the time Adderley's quintet recorded that tune. He says the composition surprised him.
"For a white Viennese boy to write a tune that's that black is pretty remarkable," Hancock says. "He just captured the essence of the African-American heritage, just the statement of melody and feeling of that song. Clearly, in some past life, Joe must've been black."
Zawinul may have had the instincts of a jazz musician, but he also worked at it. He came from a poor Viennese family. His twin brother died when he was 4. He learned to play the accordion when he was 6, was accepted in the Vienna Conservatory and wound up at Boston's Berklee College of Music in 1958. He didn't stay long: He was hired away by Maynard Ferguson, landed a job with singer Dinah Washington, and then joined Adderley's group.
Eventually, Zawinul wanted to find his own sound. The electric keyboard he used on "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" pointed toward his future. He went on to compose "In A Silent Way," the title track for one of Miles Davis' earliest experiments in electronics.
In 1970, Zawinul, with saxophonist Wayne Shorter, founded Weather Report, a group that had a dramatic impact on jazz. The band stormed concert halls at a time when rock had driven mainstream jazz to the margins.
Alex Acuna played percussion with the band. He says Shorter and Zawinul had a specific vision about where they wanted to go with their music.
"The vision was to make a band that makes music with all the sounds that the world generates," Acuna says.
Acuna stayed close to Joe Zawinul over the years, and also played with Zawinul in his later group, the Joe Zawinul Syndicate. Acuna says Zawinul was a big fan of sports, especially boxing. He had a reputation for being gruff, but Acuna says he was just honest and direct. And musically, he didn't like to repeat himself
Why do they happen in bunches?
In related news, a person familiar with Carter Albrecht, of The New Bohemians, has shed some interesting light on that tragedy and may well be of interest to folks here and in general. Apparently, Carter was taking an oral medication for smoking cessation called Chantix (Varenicline) made by Pfizer. This medication has been reported to cause several disturbing psychotic side effects, in some people. Also, combined with alcohol, this drug can have "synergistic" amplification effects. For anyone unfamiliar with what synergistic reactions involve, only one word need to be uttered, UNPREDICTABLE. It would be the equivalent of a mathematical formula such as this: 2 + 8 = 27. In other words, no one can predict or claim to understand the effect of combining such substances. As my 5th grade science teacher once told me, "a word to the wise is sufficient!"

Thanks Maestro!

ROME - Luciano Pavarotti, whose vibrant high C's and ebullient showmanship made him one of the world's most beloved tenors, died Thursday, his manager told The Associated Press. He was 71.
His manager, Terri Robson, told the AP in an e-mailed statement that Pavarotti died at his home in Modena, Italy, at 5 a.m. local time. Pavarotti had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year and underwent further treatment in August.
"The Maestro fought a long, tough battle against the pancreatic cancer which eventually took his life. In fitting with the approach that characterised his life and work, he remained positive until finally succumbing to the last stages of his illness," the statement said.
For serious fans, the unforced beauty and thrilling urgency of Pavarotti's voice made him the ideal interpreter of the Italian lyric repertory, especially in the 1960s and '70s when he first achieved stardom. For millions more, his charismatic performances of standards like "Nessun dorma" from Puccini's "Turandot" came to represent what opera is all about.
Instantly recognizable from his charcoal black beard and tuxedo-busting girth, Pavarotti radiated an intangible magic that helped him win hearts in a way Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras — his partners in the "Three Tenors" concerts — never quite could.
"I always admired the God-given glory of his voice — that unmistakable special timbre from the bottom up to the very top of the tenor range," Domingo said in a statement from Los Angeles.
"I also loved his wonderful sense of humor and on several occasions of our concerts with Jose Carreras — the so-called Three Tenors concerts — we had trouble remembering that we were giving a concert before a paying audience, because we had so much fun between ourselves," he said.
The tenor, who seemed equally at ease singing with soprano Joan Sutherland as with the Spice Girls, scoffed at accusations that he was sacrificing his art in favor of commercialism.
"The word commercial is exactly what we want," he said, after appearing in the widely publicized "Three Tenors" concerts. "We've reached 1.5 billion people with opera. If you want to use the word commercial, or something more derogatory, we don't care. Use whatever you want."
In the annals of that rare and coddled breed, the operatic tenor, it may well be said the 20th century began with Enrico Caruso and ended with Pavarotti. Other tenors — Domingo included — may have drawn more praise from critics for their artistic range and insights, but none could equal the combination of natural talent and personal charm that so endeared him to audiences.
"Pavarotti is the biggest superstar of all," the late New York Times music critic Harold Schonberg once said. "He's correspondingly more spoiled than anybody else. They think they can get away with anything. Thanks to the glory of his voice, he probably can."
In his heyday, he was known as the "King of the High C's" for the ease with which he tossed off difficult top notes. In fact it was his ability to hit nine glorious high C's in quick succession that first turned him into an international superstar singing Tonio's aria "Ah! Mes amis," in Donizetti's "La Fille du Regiment" at New York's Metropolitan Opera in 1972.
In the 1990s, Pavarotti's teaming with Domingo and Carreras became a music business phenomenon and spawned copycats such as the Three Irish Tenors.
Pavarotti starred in a film called "Yes, Giorgio" (though its failure scuttled his hopes for a Hollywood career) and appeared in a filmed version of "Rigoletto." He wrote an autobiography, "I, Luciano Pavarotti," and made more than 90 recordings.
From Beijing to Buenos Aires, people immediately recognized his incandescent smile and lumbering bulk, clutching a white handkerchief as he sang arias and Neapolitan folk songs, pop numbers and Christmas carols for hundreds of thousands in outdoor concerts.
His name seemed to show up as much in gossip columns as serious music reviews, particularly after he split with Adua Veroni, his wife of 35 years and mother of their three daughters, and then took up with his 26-year-old secretary in 1996.
In late 2003, he married Nicoletta Mantovani in a lavish, star-studded ceremony. Pavarotti said their daughter Alice, nearly a year old at the time of the wedding, was the main reason he and Mantovani finally wed after years together.
In the latter part of his career, some music critics cited what they saw as an increasing tendency toward the vulgar and the commercial.
He came under fire for canceling performances or pandering to the lowest common denominator in his choice of programs, or for the Three Tenors tours and their millions of dollars in fees.
He was criticized for lip-synching at a concert in Modena, Italy, his hometown. An artist accused him of copying her works from a how-to-draw book and selling the paintings.
The son of a baker who was an amateur singer, Pavarotti was born Oct. 12, 1935, in Modena. He had a meager upbringing, though he said it was rich with happiness.
"Our family had very little, but I couldn't imagine one could have any more," Pavarotti said.
As a boy, Pavarotti showed more interest in soccer than his studies, but he also was fond of listening to his father's recordings of tenor greats like Beniamino Gigli, Tito Schipa, Jussi Bjoerling and Giuseppe Di Stefano, his favorite.
Among his close childhood friends was Mirella Freni, who would eventually become a soprano and an opera great herself. The two studied singing together and years later ended up making records and concerts together, according to Elvio Giudici, an Italian opera critic.
In his teens, Pavarotti joined his father, also a tenor, in the church choir and local opera chorus. He was influenced by the American movie actor-singer Mario Lanza.
"In my teens I used to go to Mario Lanza movies and then come home and imitate him in the mirror," Pavarotti said.
Singing was still nothing more than a passion while Pavarotti trained to become a teacher and began working in a school.
But at 20, he traveled with his chorus to an international music competition in Wales. The Modena group won first place, and Pavarotti began to dedicate himself to singing.
With the encouragement of his then fiancee, Adua Veroni, he started lessons, selling insurance to pay for them. He studied with Arrigo Pola and later Ettore Campogalliani.
In 1961, Pavarotti won a local voice competition and with it a debut as Rodolfo in Puccini's "La Boheme."
He followed with a series of successes in small opera houses throughout Europe before his 1963 debut at Covent Garden in London, where he stood in for Di Stefano as Rodolfo.
Having impressed conductor Richard Bonynge, Pavarotti was given a role opposite Bonynge's wife, soprano Joan Sutherland, in a Miami production of "Lucia di Lamermoor." They subsequently signed him for a 14-week tour of Australia.
It was the recognition Pavarotti needed to launch his career. He also credited Sutherland with teaching him how to breathe correctly.
In the following years, Pavarotti made a series of major debuts, appearing at La Scala in Milan in 1965, San Francisco in 1967 and New York's Metropolitan Opera House in 1968. Other early venues included Vienna, Paris and Chicago.
Throughout his career, Pavarotti struggled with a much-publicized weight problem. His love of food caused him to balloon to a reported high of 396 pounds in 1978.
"Maybe this time I'll really do it and keep it up," he said during one of his constant attempts at dieting.
Pavarotti, who had been trained as a lyric tenor, began taking on heavier dramatic tenor roles, such as Manrico in Verdi's "Trovatore" and the title role in "Otello."
Pavarotti often drew comparisons with Domingo, his most notable contemporary. Aficionados judged Domingo the more complete and consistent musician, but he never captured the public imagination like Pavarotti.
Though there appeared to be professional jealousy between the great singers, Pavarotti claimed he preferred to judge himself only against his earlier performances.
In the mid-1970s, Pavarotti became a true media star. He appeared in television commercials and began appearing in hugely lucrative mega-concerts outdoors and in stadiums around the world. Soon came joint concerts with pop stars. A concert in New York's Central Park in 1993 drew 500,000 fans.
Pavarotti's recording of "Volare" went platinum in 1988.
In 1990, he appeared with Domingo and Carreras in a concert at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome for the end of soccer's World Cup. The concert was a huge success, and the record known as "The Three Tenors" was a best-seller and was nominated for two Grammy awards. The video sold over 750,000 copies.
The three-tenor extravaganza became a mini-industry. With a follow-up album recorded at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in 1994, the three have outsold every other performer of classical music. A 1996 tour earned each tenor an estimated $10 million.
Pavarotti liked to mingle with pop stars in his series of charity concerts, "Pavarotti & Friends," held annually in Modena. He performed with artists as varied as Ricky Martin, James Brown and the Spice Girls.
The performances raised some eyebrows but he always shrugged off the criticism.
Some say the "word pop is a derogatory word to say 'not important' — I do not accept that," Pavarotti said in a 2004 interview with the AP. "If the word classic is the word to say 'boring,' I do not accept. There is good and bad music."
It was not just his annual extravaganza that saw Pavarotti involved in humanitarian work.
During the 1992-95 Bosnia war, he collected humanitarian aid along with U2 lead singer Bono, and after the war he financed and established the Pavarotti Music Center in the southern city of Mostar to offer Bosnia's artists the opportunity to develop their skills.
He performed at benefit concerts to raise money for victims of tragedies such as an earthquake in December 1988 that killed 25,000 people in northern Armenia.
Pavarotti was also dogged by accusations of tax evasion, and in 2000 he agreed to pay nearly roughly $12 million to the Italian state after he had unsuccessfully claimed that the tax haven of Monte Carlo rather than Italy was his official residence.
He had been accused in 1996 of filing false tax returns for 1989-91.
Pavarotti always denied wrongdoing, saying he paid taxes wherever he performed. But, upon agreeing to the settlement, he said: "I cannot live being thought not a good person."
Pavarotti was preparing to leave New York in July 2006 to resume a farewell tour when doctors discovered a malignant pancreatic mass, his manager Terri Robson said at the time. He underwent surgery in a New York hospital, and all his remaining 2006 concerts were canceled.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most dangerous forms of the disease, though doctors said the surgery offered improved hopes for survival.
"I was a fortunate and happy man," Pavarotti told Italian daily Corriere della Sera in an interview published about a month after the surgery. "After that, this blow arrived."
"And now I am paying the penalty for this fortune and happiness," he told the newspaper.
Fans were still waiting for a public appearance a year after his surgery. In the summer of 2007, Pavarotti taught a group of selected students and worked on a recording of sacred songs, a work expected to be released in early 2008, according to his manager. He mostly divided his time between his home town, Modena, and his villa in the Adriatic seaside resort of Pesaro.
Faced with speculation that the tenor was near death, Mantovani, his second wife, told Italian newspaper La Stampa in July 2007: "He's fighting like a lion and he has never lost his heart."
Pavarotti had three daughters with his first wife, Lorenza, Cristina and Giuliana; and one, Alice, with his second wife.

Sorry folks but I felt it necessary to post this sad news. NB were a great band. My condolences to everyone affected by this loss.
Member of New Bohemians Fatally Shot
By JEFF CARLTON, Associated Press Writer
1 hour ago
DALLAS - Jeffrey Carter Albrecht, a keyboard player for the band Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, was shot to death early Monday while trying to kick in the door of his girlfriend's neighbor, police said.
The neighbor believed a burglar was trying to break in and fired a shot through the door around 4 a.m., Dallas police spokesman Sgt. Gil Cerda said.
Albrecht, 34, died at the scene. It was not clear why Albrecht went to the house and the case is under investigation. No arrests have been made.
"He was at his girlfriend's house last night," said Danny Balis, Albrecht's roommate. "He left the house and went next door and _ for whatever reason, which we don't know _ he knocked on the neighbor's door. And from what I understand, he was persistent. I don't know if there was a verbal exchange, but the person panicked and fired a shot through the door."
The death of Albrecht, who also played keyboard and guitar and sang in the Dallas rock band Sorta with Balis, stunned friends and those who knew him in the North Texas music community.
"He is not a violent person," said Carrie Garcia, Sorta's manager. "He is cool as a cucumber, shy, always wanted to make a joke in a situation that may be a little tense."
Albrecht, who went by his middle name, had been with the New Bohemians since 1999, according to the band's Web site. Albrecht played several times with Brickell's husband, Paul Simon, Garcia said. He also played with Texas musician Charlie Sexton, a renowned guitarist.
Albrecht was working on a solo album that Balis called "the best thing he has ever done."
"He was the best musician I've ever played with _ no question," Balis said. "He could play anything. It's a shame not enough people outside of Dallas heard him."
The Dude Abides!
nice article golden road. there goes another brave independent spirit
nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile
Regrettably, I never made it to the club but enjoyed those bands that may have never been apart of the music scene without Hilly.

NEW YORK - Hilly Kristal had no idea what he was unleashing when he welcomed a rash of unknown bands onstage in his dank Bowery dive: Television, the Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads, the Patti Smith Group.
Kristal, a New Jersey farm boy whose musical tastes ran to tamer fare, had opened CBGB as a haven for country, blues and bluegrass music. Instead, his cramped club became the epicenter of the punk rock movement, setting off a three-chord musical revolution that spread around the world.
Kristal, 75, died of complications from lung cancer at a Manhattan hospice after a long fight with the disease, his family announced Wednesday. CBGB closed last October with a blowout concert by Smith and her band, ending a 33-year run for the dingy space where Kristal operated from a small desk just inside the entrance with its familiar white awning.
"He created a club that started on a small, out-of-the-way skid row, and saw it go around the world," said Lenny Kaye, a longtime member of the Patti Smith Group. "Everywhere you travel around the world, you saw somebody wearing a CBGB T-shirt.
"It was a real rallying point for musicians trying something different."
At the club's boarded-up storefront Wednesday morning, a spray-painted message read, "RIP Hilly, we'll miss you, thank you." There were also a dozen candles, two bunches of flowers and a foam rubber baseball bat _ an apparent tribute to the Ramones' classic "Beat on the Brat."
David Byrne, lead singer with Talking Heads, remembered Kristal's low-key demeanor and generosity.
"Other clubs were all about models and beautiful people, and he was about letting the musicians in for free, to hear music and get cheap beers," Byrne said. "It automatically created a scene, and we'd just hang out all night."
Kristal was an unlikely avatar of punk music, opening his own club in 1973 after booking acts such as Miles Davis at the Village Vanguard. "At first, they didn't play so well," he once said of the seminal punk bands that came to CBGB.
But he became a beloved figure to the performers who used his small venue as a launching pad to stardom, including several that reached the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He also served as manager for the Dead Boys, whose appeal was summed up by their album title "Young Loud & Snotty."
"In an era when disco was the mainstream, Hilly took a chance and gambled," said drummer Marky Ramone. "The gamble paid off for him and for us. We are all grateful to him."
The influence of Kristal's club was pervasive, extending to generations of bands around the country and the globe. Even the landlord who finally evicted Kristal from CBGB first kissed his wife inside its walls, which were plastered with mementoes from bands across the decades.
Kristal's plans for a club attuned to his tastes disappeared when Television, led by Tom Verlaine, began playing Sunday nights in the mid-1970s. Other bands were soon joining them, and CBGB became the place for punk fans to mingle with performers like Joey Ramone, Debbie Harry or the doomed Sid Vicious.
The club lasted into the next century, still adhering to Kristal's insistence that it would only book bands playing original material. He started a lucrative CBGB marketing arm, selling T-shirts and accessories with the club's familiar logo.
In recent years, CBGB became embroiled in a bitter rent fight with its landlord, the Bowery Residents' Committee, an agency housing the homeless. Despite the efforts of musicians to keep the club open, Kristal _ who owed a reported $300,000 in back rent _ agreed to vacate the club last October.
Kristal, who once hoped to have his own singing career, was survived by son Mark Dana; daughter Lisa Kristal Burgman and her husband Ger; two grandchildren, "and the thousands of artists and musicians who played the club," the family said in a statement.
"All energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet. What a fool I was to defy him."
So sorry for your loss, Stella.

Children board school buses outside of Northside Middle School.

I have been following the latest debate about school transportation, which is the subject of the upcoming referendum. The dialog has obviously divided the community- if yard signs are a fair barometer.
I may be able to offer a slightly different perspective on the subject. I have a vested interest in this referendum by being a lifelong Muncie resident, Southside graduate and owner of a local manufacturing company. The referendum, if passed, will have a negative impact on my business and increase my personal taxes.

No college basketball coaches know Butler like those in the Horizon League.
So while Cleveland State's Gary Waters might have been disappointed or dismayed about Friday's 79-56 loss to the Bulldogs at Hinkle Fieldhouse, he understood.
"I think they went to the drawing board and looked at themselves after taking that butt-whipping on Monday (a 76-52 loss at Wisconsin-Milwaukee)," Waters said. "They looked at themselves and said, 'Hey, we're going to get back to what Butler does: defense.' " ...

SEND TO A FRIEND : Lindam Safety Toddler Bedrail Pink
|Close x
|Close x
The Safety Toddler Bedrail - pink, by Lindam helps children make the transition from a cot to a bed without the fear of falling out in the night. The bedrail is designed to cushion your child as they sleep, the lightweight extendable metal frame is padded and covered in an attractive pink or blue material. Fitted with a secure click lock, this hinged design will not hinder making the bed. The bedrail is suitable for a single, divan, framed or slatted bed and suitable for children from 18 months to 5 years of age (not suitable where mattress sits within a raised frame). Designed to accommodate mattress widths from 76cm - 140cm and mattress lengths from 160m to 210cm.
I bought this item as i co sleep with my baby and needed something safe to stop her falling out the bed, i wasn't sure if this could be used on a king size bed, so just took a chance, it very easily fits a king size or any size bed as the support straps to be secured at the opposite side of the mattress are fully extendible, it was sturdy enough not to move when my 11 month old leans on it and i feel safe knowing it wont move, would definantly recommend especially for co sleepers

Bought this for my little one's cotbed to help her move from a cot to the bed. It fits across nearly the entire side with a tiny gap head end and bit bigger gap the other which my little one can use to get in and out. The product was easy to put together but tricky to secure to the bed so that it felt stable and strong enough. It took my partner and I a bit of time to use the extra length of strap to tie to the bed frame and now it feels secure.
Good quality

This is a great safe way to transition your child from a cot to a bed without the awful fear of falling out in the night. Great product from lindam.

Re: NUKETOWN Zombies! READ THIS!!Companion_Cube_ Aug 28, 2012 6:24 PM (in response to AnthonyPaul)
I don't wanna' wait a year like I had to with the WaW maps.
Re: NUKETOWN Zombies! READ THIS!!Grayewsable Aug 28, 2012 6:50 PM (in response to AnthonyPaul)
Proof? The only reasonable assumption would be that Treyarch continues as they did with Black Ops: add bonus maps to the special editions of the game and allow the people who bought the base version of the game to purchase it near the end of the DLC season.
If anyone's the idiot, you are for making a claim without anything to back it up.
Re: NUKETOWN Zombies! READ THIS!!hainline24 Aug 28, 2012 6:56 PM (in response to AnthonyPaul)
I dought they will make a DLC for that, It would be kind of pointless making a DLC for one map. They may but i dont think they will.
Re: NUKETOWN Zombies! READ THIS!!dakingofcash Aug 28, 2012 10:19 PM (in response to AnthonyPaul)
I don't think they will make the Nuketown Zombie map DLC. It doesn't make sense. The biggest draw to the Hardened and Prestige Edition are the Zombie maps. Take that out and NO ONE would buy them. They would simply wait for the DLC.
Wait and see at launch. I bet there will be like 1.5k people in Nuketown Zombies and like 25k in whatever map they have for launch. That is, of course, if they are not going FULL MP! They could and you play whatever map gets voted on. LAME! I could totally see this happening.
Re: NUKETOWN Zombies! READ THIS!!CODRocks131 Aug 29, 2012 12:22 AM (in response to dakingofcash)
I hope not Daking. I dont play with randoms in zombies anyways. I only play with friends that I can trust to have fun with it, and stick to the objectives (easter eggs) of the map. I only play with randoms when none of my friends are on. I do believe that Nuketown zombies will be available to some point to everybody else who didnt get the hardened or care package editions of the game. If you chose not to upgrade to at least the hardened edition then you have no reason to cry. It's only $20.00 more and you get a ton of content. You get the steel book case, the 2 challenge coins, two playercards, two avatar items, nuketown 2025, and nuketown zombies all for 20 bucks more. Simple fix, preorder the hardened edition for 20 bucks more, and have it the night of the midnight launch.
Re: NUKETOWN Zombies! READ THIS!!timelordalex Aug 29, 2012 2:29 AM (in response to CODRocks131)
i want nuketown zombies but that would mean im paying 20-30 extra which im not doing for one map, and i cant seem to pre-order it in the UK yet, it'll more than likely come out as DLC later, Nuketown is such a popular map and they said in the vid us fans wanted it and yet there singaling most of the fans out as only handful of people buy the other editions
Re: NUKETOWN Zombies! READ THIS!!ZA1NT Aug 29, 2012 3:47 AM (in response to AnthonyPaul)
Yeh im really not bothered, im not paying an extra £30 for 1 zombie map & a couple avatar/costume crap.
i'm just going to get the standard and use the £30 you lot are paying for 1 map to renew my elite subscription.. If it does come as a dlc great.. if not, oh well, i'll just play the other zombie maps with the majority of people who are'nt dumb enough to waste their money.
Re: NUKETOWN Zombies! READ THIS!!USAFEsty Aug 29, 2012 4:57 AM (in response to AnthonyPaul)
I'm pretty sure they said it's going to be like Five, so once you complete the campaign you will unlock, it's just an added bonus to unlock it before playing campaign.
Re: NUKETOWN Zombies! READ THIS!!Chuggachugga Aug 30, 2012 5:34 PM (in response to AnthonyPaul)
Maby theyll make another mappack for it like they did with rezurrection where you would just have to redownload the mappack to get the original maps if you already had it and if you didnt you pay 15 dollars
Re: NUKETOWN Zombies! READ THIS!!Tman2096 Aug 30, 2012 5:46 PM (in response to AnthonyPaul)
I totally think what your saying is true, but Treyarch said that the only way to get Nuketown Zombies is to buy the Hardened or Care Package Edition. Although they have said that in the future.

Jay Leno Confirms He's Leaving The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon Taking His Place
It's official! Jay Leno will ending his run as host of The Tonight Show and Jimmy Fallon will be replacing him. NBC confirmed reports of the switch in a statement Wednesday, April 3 saying Leno will end his 22-year run on the show in Spring 2014. Fallon, who is currently host of Late Night, will then transition over.
"Jay Leno is an entertainment icon, making millions of people laugh every weeknight for more than 20 years. His long reign as the highest-rated late-night host is a testament to his work ethic and dedication to his viewers and to NBC," said Steve Burke, Chief Executive Officer of NBC Universal. "We are purposefully making this change when Jay is no. 1, just as Jay replaced Johnny Carson when he was no. 1."
"Jimmy Fallon is a unique talent and this is his time," he continued. "I'm thrilled he will become the sixth host of The Tonight Show at exactly the right moment, in conjunction with our coverage of next year's Winter Olympic Games from Sochi, Russia."
And there doesn't seem to be any hard feelings between the two hosts. Leno, 62, and Fallon, 38, who addressed rumors of the replacement in a funny musical duet of West Side Story's "Tonight" on Monday, both issued friendly statements Wednesday regarding the official announcement.
"Congratulations Jimmy. I hope you're as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you're the old guy," Leno, who took over the show from Carson in 1992, said. "If you need me, I'll be at the garage," added the car enthusiast.
Fallon joked of his new time slot, "I'm really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow."
What will happen to Fallon's Late Night show at 12:35 a.m.? NBC says plans are "currently in development and will be announced soon."

London attractions: Take a step back through military history with the Royal Artillery Museum
Published: Saturday 9th of March 2013
If you have an interest in history or the British Military, then the Firepower Royal Artillery Museum is one of the most ideal of London attractions.
The museum first opened in the 1800s and is thought to be one of the first and most longstanding military museums to open in Europe.
Over the last few weeks, it has opened a new exhibition to the public, which explores the role of female soldiers serving in the army since the second world war, right up to the present day.
It highlights the importance of women in the army and contains a very special collection of rare artifacts, and photos which give guests an insight into the everyday lives of those women who serve in the army.
The exhibition is open until April 29th from Tuesday to Saturday.
On March 5th, the museum hosted a talk with Alison Baskerville, an award-winning freelance journalist who served with the Royal Air Force in Iraq and shot to fame after capturing photographs of what she saw.
If you're interested in participating in the other exciting talks and exhibitions held at the museum, they have got many similar events on throughout the year.
