UPDATED: The NFL delivered for NBC and Fox on Sunday. The American Music Awards lifted ABC to its best Sunday this season. "The Walking Dead" offered hope and disaster and impressive local ratings.
All in all, it was quite a night of television. There were first-rate episodes from "Madam Secretary," "The Good Wife" and "Homeland." Of special note: Christine Baranski, excellent as always, on a very topical "The Good Wife."
The upated national prime-time ratings: NBC with 14.9 million, Fox with 10.4 million, ABC with 9.6 million and CBS with 8.8 million. The 18-to-49 age group showed this finish: NBC, Fox, ABC and...
The Cardinals have beaten up on a trio of bad teams in the Falcons, Texans and Jaguars to improve to 6-4, so it's hard to tell if they are for real or not. This weekend's game against the Colts will be revealing.

After its founding in 1940, the Ceramic Arts Studio of Madison, Wisconsin mostly specialized in hand-thrown pots.
After seeing only mild success, partners Lawrence Rabitt and Rueben Sand began looking elsewhere for inspiration.
Betty Harrington, a secretary for the State of Wisconsin, found her children playing with the clay they found from a recently excavated well.
Without any formal training in art but possessing a passionate creativity, Harrington shaped an incense burner out of the clay.
She brought it to the Ceramic Arts Studio on Blount Street, hoping to have it fired; but she found so much more.
Sand and Rabitt enjoyed her work so much, that Harrington was offered the position of head studio designer on the spot and changed the direction and style of the company by bringing highly unique designs to the market.
Her most popular designs included "shelf-sitters" like this figure of "Maurice", and his theatrical friend, "Beth".
Much harder to find than their later counterparts, Maurice and Michele, Maurice and Beth are adorned in the most unusual and extraordinary robes in a green and brown flecked glaze.
The pleats and folds in each of their robes are filled with a slightly darker glaze which adds a wonderful depth.
Their faces are masterfully painted; even their lips and cheeks are ruddy. Both Maurice and Beth show beautiful emotion.
The underside of each figurine has the original black maker's mark which reads "Ceramic Arts Studio, Madison WIS. ©" as well as their respective names in a matching and slightly larger font.
Both figurines remain in impeccable, near-mint condition. We are thrilled to say that this pair is a wonderful representation of the quality and aesthetic of CAS ceramics.
The indicator of original Ceramic Arts Studio of Wisconsin is certain painted numbers or signs on the interior of the piece. These pieces have the original painted signs, but can't be photographed. You can see a little of the interior mark on one one photo of the underside.
These pieces are so unusual, it is difficult to place a design era to them. They are very avant garde, but match most any decor.
They speak to a flair of theatrics and have an air of mysticism.
These are highly collectible and in excellent condition. There are no cracks or chips on the pieces.
Measurements: Beth: 5" tall, approx. 6" long, weight: 192.1 grams (6.78 oz) Maurice: total length is approx. 5 ¾" long, when seated rises 4 ½" tall, weight: 175.3 grams (6.18 oz) Total weight: 367.4 (12.96 oz)

Conservative MP Eve AdamsYou have to believe that Tory MP Eve Adams' career prospects within the Conservative Party of Canada are pretty much dead in the water.
The current MP from Mississauga Brampton is aggressively seeking the Conservative Party nomination in Oakville North-Burlington where she now lives.
Earlier this week, her fiance — Dimitri Soudas — was forced out by the party for interfering in Adams' nomination race.
And now, there's a leaked letter from the Conservative Party's Oakville riding president to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, slamming Adams and her behaviour:
"It is with heavy heart that I fell I must write you directly with regard to recent actions by Eve Adams MP that I believe are both negatively impacting the internal workings of our local association and are beginning to take a toll on the brand of the Party," Mark Fedak wrote in the letter dated April 1.
"I was originally going to write you about a specific matter after our last board meeting...Sadly things have only gotten worse."Read More »from Conservative MP Eve Adams to be investigated after accusations sent to Harper

Predictably, Schalke was bullied out of the Champions League by Real Madrid on Tuesday. Unpredictably, Schalke made Real Madrid score five goals over two legs to do it. Trailing 2-0 on aggregate after a disappointing home loss two weeks ago, Schalke faced dire straits at the Bernabeu.
And yet the German knockout krill was resplendent anyway. Schalke led (deservedly) for a not insignificant portion of the match, and Real Madrid needed to plunge its hand deep into is moneybag just to lose 4-3. At home. Booed off by your own fans. Schalke was vibrant, exciting, alive. Real Madrid looked bored defensively and reactive in the attacking third but advanced anyway on aggregate.
Pleased they were not.

text: Kerry Announces Visa Changes for Same-Sex Couples By Allen Smith 8/5/2013 Permissions Speaking at the U.S. Embassy in London on Aug. 2, 2013, Secretary of State John Kerry announced that, "effective immediately, when same-sex spouses apply for a visa, the Department of State will consider that application in the same manner that it will consider the application of opposite-sex spouses." "Here is exactly what this rule means: If you are the spouse of a U.S. citizen, your visa application will be treated equally," Kerry explained. "If you are the spouse of a noncitizen, your visa application will be treated equally. And if you are in a country that doesn't recognize your same-sex marriage, then your visa application will be treated equally at every single one of our 222 visa-processing centers around the world." He also noted that as of 2014, same-sex marriage will be lawful in England and Wales. "Today the State Department—which has always been at the forefront of equality in the federal government, I'm proud to say—is tearing down an unjust and an unfair barrier that, for too long, stood in the way of same-sex families being able to travel as a family to the United States." 'Watershed Moment' Speaking to SHRM Online, Justin Storch, manager of agency liaison at the American Council on International Personnel, an affiliate of the Society for Human Resource Management, commented, "We've reached a watershed moment: Our immigration system no longer cares whatsoever whether immigrants are marrying people of the same sex or of the opposite sex." Noting that the Supreme Court has found Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional, the State Department explained in the frequently asked questions (FAQs) for Post-Defense of Marriage Act that "The same-sex spouse of a visa applicant coming to the U.S. for any purpose—including work, study, international exchange or as a legal immigrant—will be eligible for a derivative visa. Likewise, stepchildren acquired through same-sex marriages can also qualify as beneficiaries or for derivative status." A U.S. citizen who is engaged to a foreign national of the same sex and who cannot marry in the fiance(e)'s country may apply for a fiance(e) (K) visa and file a Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), according to the FAQs. "As long as all other immigration requirements are met, a same-sex engagement may allow your fiance to enter the United States for the purpose of marriage." And same-sex spouses and their children are now equally eligible for nonimmigrant derivative visas. Nonimmigrant visas are "temporary visas, such as H-1B, L-1, etc.," Storch said. "The derivative visas are what the spouse gets, such as H-4, L-2, etc." "Same-sex spouses and stepchildren (F-2 and M-2) of student (F-1 and M-1) visa applicants will need to obtain an I-20A prior to application," the FAQs stated. "Spouses (J-2) of exchange visitors (J-1) visa holders will need an approved DS-2019. Finally, same-sex spouses of victims of criminal activity (U-2s) and human trafficking victims (T-2s) will require completed Supplement A to Form I-918 or I-914, respectively, before an officer approves any derivative cases. This additional documentation is also required for opposite-gender spouses." Children of foreign-national spouses may be considered stepchildren of the U.S. citizens and, therefore, benefit from a petition filed on their behalf in the IR2 category. Historical Perspective "I get to sit up on the seventh floor of the State Department, looking out straight at the Lincoln Memorial," Kerry remarked. "This year marks the 50th anniversary of the famous March on Washington and of Martin Luther King's unbelievably eloquent and historic plea for equality. So that is where the dream was declared. The march goes on. This is several more steps in that march." Allen Smith, J.D., is the manager of workplace law content for SHRM. Follow him @SHRMlegaleditor.

Ukraine's prime minister said Tuesday that the conflict in Crimea has entered a military phase and accused Russia of commiting a "war crime" by firing on Ukrainian servicemen.
A military spokesman said one soldier was killed and another injured. Ukrainian servicemen in Crimea have now been authorized to use their weapons in order to defend their lives.
"The conflict is moving from a political one to a military one because of Russian soldiers," Arseniy Yatsenyuk said at a meeting at Ukraine's defense ministry. "Today, Russian soldiers began shooting at Ukrainian servicemen and this is a war crime without any expiry under a statute of limitations."
The serviceman was shot and killed while manning a tower overlooking a vehicle pool at the base, according to a defense ministry statement. It said the attackers wore Russian military uniforms.
Yatsenyuk has reportedly ordered Ukraine's defense minister to call a meeting with his counterparts from Britain, France, and Russia - signatories to a 1994 agreement guaranteeing Ukraine's borders - to prevent an escalation of the conflict.
Absorbing Crimea
The incident came just hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin and Crimean leaders signed a treaty to make the Black Sea peninsula part of the Russian Federation, a move the White House immediately condemned.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin (C), Crimean parliament speaker Vladimir Konstantionov (L) and Alexei Chaly, Sevastopol's new de facto mayor (R), sign a treaty to make Crimea part of Russia in the Kremlin in Moscow on March 18, 2014.

"This action...will never be recognized by the United States and the international community,'' spokesman Jay Carney said.
Carney said the administration is preparing to expand sanctions it imposed on Monday along with the European Union.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry that Western sanctions were unacceptable and would not remain without consequences, the Russian ministry said in a statement Tuesday.
Lavrov and Kerry spoke by telephone after the treaty signing.
President Barack Obama has invited G-7 allies to meet next week to consider further response to the Crimea crisis. The meeting will take place on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit at The Hague that Obama plans to attend.
The Russian parliament is expected to begin the process of ratifying the treaty within days, the Itar-Tass news agency cited a senior lawmaker as saying.
Ukraine's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that it does not recognize the treaty.

Vice President Joe Biden called Russia's annexation of Crimea a "land grab" and said Washington is committed to defending the security of its NATO allies on Russian borders.

Biden said the U.S. is considering sending troops for war games in the Baltic states bordering Russia, in a move aimed at reassuring NATO allies alarmed by Moscow's actions regarding Crimea.
Separately, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Russia was going down a "dangerous path" by annexing Crimea.
He said on Tuesday Russia has disregarded all calls to step back into line with international law. Fogh Rasmussen stressed that no NATO ally will recognize what he called an illegal and illegitimate action.
In Britain, Foreign Secretary William Hague also condemned Russia's actions.
"The crisis in Ukraine is the most serious test of European security in the 21st century so far," Hague said.
The White House says President Barack Obama spoke by phone Tuesday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and agreed on the need to immediately send international monitors to southern and eastern Ukraine.
US Navy runs Black Sea exercise
The Truxtun, a U.S. guided-missile destroyer, started a one-day military exercise with the Bulgarian and Romanian navies in the Black Sea on Wednesday, a U.S. Naval Forces official told Reuters on Wednesday.
Ukraine's Crimea peninsula juts into the north of the Black Sea. The U.S. military has described it as a "routine" deployment scheduled well before the crisis in Ukraine.
"There are many reasons for exercises with allies, it allows us an opportunity to assure our NATO allies that we support them," Shawn Eklund, a public affairs officer for U.S. Naval Forces Europe, told Reuters.

President Obama has imposed sanctions against seven Russian officials and four Ukrainians who supported Sunday's Russian-sponsored referendum that called for Crimea to secede from Ukraine. VOA White House correspondent Luis Ramirez reports.
US Freezes Russians' Assets As Ukraine Crisis Deepens
But with reports of several incursions by Russian or Russian-backed armed personnel in eastern Ukraine, outside of Crimea, there is rising concern throughout the country whether Russia will be satisfied with only annexing Crimea.
Ukraine's Prime Minister Yatsenyuk says there is "convincing evidence" Russian special services are organizing unrest in the eastern part of the country.
"There are saboteurs who have been arrested," Yatsenyuk said. "There is no place in Ukraine for these warmongers."
Some Ukrainians tell VOA their families, even in the central part of the country, are stocking up on bread, water and medications, due to concerns tensions will escalate in the next several months amid worries there could be war.
Putin says Moscow has no designs on other parts of the former Soviet republic.
In 1954, then Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev gifted the Crimean peninsula to Ukraine, then part of the USSR.
Ukraine not seeking NATO membership
Ukraine's new pro-Western leadership is not seeking membership in NATO, Prime Minister Yatsenyuk said on Tuesday, in comments intended to reassure Russia and Ukraine's large number of Russian-speakers.
"Strictly with a view to maintaining Ukraine's unity, the question of joining NATO is not on the agenda,'' Yatsenyuk, who normally speaks in Ukrainian, said in a 10-minute televised appeal delivered in Russian. "The country will be defended by a strong, modern Ukrainian army.''
Yatsenyuk also said decentralization of power was a key plank of government policy, adding that Kyiv's efforts to integrate with Europe would take into account the interests of Ukraine's mainly Russian-speaking industrial east.
Local reactions
Ukrainians, from various cities of the country, reacted to Crimea's annexation by Russia with outrage, some convinced it will only be temporary, others voicing concern that it represented only the beginning of Putin's ambitions.
"[The Russians] will show off for a little while and then we will get Crimea back…. It will be Ukrainian. And the Crimeans - even those who are advocating for Russia - in a year or two will understand that life in Ukraine was much better," said Yuriy Zborovsky from the central Ukrainian city of Kirovograd.
"I want [Vladimir Putin] to stop mocking our people. I want him to stay in Russia and govern [the Russians] and not touch our people and not torture Ukraine," said Kyiv resident Lyubov Semenyaka.
"Without doubts it will not end here; Putin will continue to step over Ukraine because Crimea is not his ultimate goal. His ultimate goal is to invade all of Ukraine," said Vasyl Pazenyak from the western city of Lviv.
VOA's Steve Herman contributed to this report from Kyiv; some reporting by Reuters.

What??? America under its constitution should be a light to the world…instead its news presenters can't even get our Prime Ministers name right or the geography right. Is this arrogance or a hopeless education system? It's embarrasing. These are the news outlets sprouting informed commentary on Libya and the Ukraine….????http://mobile.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/american-news-networks-screw-up-their-geography-and-call-tony-abbott-prime-minister-john-abbot/story-fnizu68q-1226861047746I guess the shift to Asia is still being cobbled together by the Obama administration. My advice to these reporters is not to ask John McCain or the Whitehouse for any details on this region…that could be more embarrasing.

Lots of questions about sniper fire, both in this story and at Maidan. So far the best evidence I've seen as to where it's coming from is in this picture or the (pro-)Russian soldier carrying a sniper rifle. I think it might be a Dragunov SVU. I can understand why he might not want his picture taken.
March 19, 2014 4:21 AM
Please stop writing fabrication! Only foreign (American) provocateurs could killed Ukranian soldier. Why you did not write that there were killed both Ukranian soldier and Crimean militian? Please open your eyes and write objective facts. Thank you!

Now comes the solemn meeting devoted to the reunification of the Crimea with Russia . Zyuganov told about visit US soldiers in Crimea. Ukrainian government has invited them to the Crimea. They landed in Feodosia on a military base . But Russians turned off electricity, shut off the water, and refused to cook them food . The Ukrainian government has apologized to the US troops and said we can nothing make with russians people that do not want serves american soldiers.
Americans moved to Alushta , but russian people again did the same. And US troops should go out from Crimea. So unarmed Russian people have expelled the US troops from Crimea. But US government do not talk about it. It's bad
Now snipers from " Right sector" began terror in the Crimea. They killed unarmed civilians . But we can find these bandits without US troops. And we punish them. I am sure
March 19, 2014 1:40 AM
no clear evidence that it was the Russian soldier! Again and again - provocations and subsequent propoganda from the western media...and will continue to insist that you have any sense of objectivity? Is that your democracy - to interpret the facts the way they are consistent with your interests? 97% of Crimean population said yes to Russia and it happened in presence of more than 120 observers from 21 countries, including EU and US!!! Why your media does not show them and does not point out this fact? Your media says - referendum is illegal because of the Russian troops staying in Crimea. But it is rediculous! How 25.000 soldiers can prevent about 2 mln.people from expressing theit will in presence of the same Ukrainian army on the peninsula without any shot??? Was the Ukrainian army blocked by the Russian troops? - this is another funny tale of the western media) How armed people may be blocked by other armed people??? I'm Ukrainian citizen of Russia and many many people both in Russia and Ukraine are feeling extremelly embarrassed about the terrible things your politicians do in Ukraine! This was the real intervention in the internal affairs of an indipendent country!!! Again and again after such "peaceful interventions" of the west (we saw them a lot during the last decades!!!) people suffer more and more at the end...hope this time your evil plans will fail and the justice will prevail!!!

A dastardly criminal assesination has taken place against this Ukrainian Officer; given Russia's intelligence capabilities, and given the statements coming out of the Kiev gmt, it was very clear that the Ukrainian forces were forbiden to use their weapons. A criminal carried out this assasination of this unfortunate Ukrainian officer; the worst of it is that the criminals behind this assasination will get away with it. So much for Russia indicating that a truce was in place for 5 days; so much for Russia being a signator to the Budapest protocol, fully agreeing to respect the borders and integrity of the Ukraine. It is a bad situation, Putin now has zero credibility! History repeat itself, you can't trust dastardly authoritarian dictators.

The best sanction against Russia is economic isolation -- and the market will take care of that on its own.
Anachronistic fools.
Just when it seemed we could do business, they hurried up and scared everybody away again.

Peace should be paramount. All are our friends.
I believe the votes in Crimea were swayed by a Russian military presence. The people of Crimea should be given a second vote when Russian forces have pulled back and Crimean's are not intimidated with by force.
Overly aggressive persons physically assaulting others should be incarcerated by local Ukraine authorities with Russian military help if needed.
I think U.S. should lift sanctions if Putin helps control violence and allows second vote.

Your suggestion is absurd. Ethnic Russians are more than 60% among residents of Republic Krim. No doubt if voting will be once more - russians collect 60% as minimum. But many different ethnic people in Krym will vote as ethnic russians, because they name Russian language as native.
You suggest to incarcerate more than 80% residents of Krym before voting. Full absurd!
Also Ukraine is poor country with high level coruption and crimes. The Ukraine's social security system is very bad. The people in Krym have selected Russia as protest voting against poverty, corruption and crimes.
US have no chance to return Krym in Ukraine. The demands of President of Obama is equal next:
-inhabitants of Krym should live in poverty
-should forget native language
-should accept corruption and obey ethnic clearing
This is full absurd.
Nobody in Russia and in Republic Krym fear the President Obama. Russia is not Iraq or Afghanistan. President Obama can't to get win in these countries. It would be good idea don't get involved in Russian affairs.
Some activists of nationalistic ukrainian organisation "Right Sector" name themselves as ukrainian taliban. They controls ukrainian government. If US government want to have the second taliban on own neck . OK please.
I know that US government hides truth from americans. But this is trouble for americans not for russians.

The world must now slam the door on Putin and not deal with him until Putin is ousted. The Russian people can overthrow putin. He doesnt deserve to run any country and should be fully investigated for many more crimes.
Europe has to stop doing business completely with Russia. Putin has to be punished now.
March 18, 2014 6:29 PM
Two quotes I would like to add here, after the 'update' of information from an earlier post.
First, from Hitler in 1937/1938..."I have no more territorial demands." A lie then, and a lie it remains today.
Second, from President Roosevelt in 1941..."History will little note who fired the first shot, but who fires the last shot".
History is full of repeats...and is repeated itself once more. When will we learn....?

For the trickle of Syrian refugees finding new homes in the Midwest city of Chicago, the call to end resettlement in many U.S. states is adding another dimension to their long journey fleeing war.

Rationality and Beyond: A Critique of the Nature and Task of Economics
This paper shows that the means-end rationality principle, as an 'ultimate given' of economics, delimits the faculty of economists to observe, describe and understand the manifold human behavior. Given such epistemological limitations, as a descriptive science, the main task of economics is to incorporate appropriate empirical content into the a priori analytical framework with the aim of better explaining and predicting some aspect of human behavior. As a normative science, economists should draw on their persuasion and communication skills whereby changing the means and end of the decision makers to the extent that the real world decision-making can be improved.

Taylor Eigsti / Julian Lage Duo
"A set of duets as electrifying and virtuosic as it was mature."
– Bob Young, The Boston Herald
"Bravely deconstructing standards…and exploring their thrilling originals in a tight-knit tandem."
– Chad Berndtson, The Patriot Ledger
"These kids deserved gold stars – both for their chops and for playing well with others."
– Bill Beuttler, The Boston Globe
The TAYLOR EIGSTI / JULIAN LAGE DUO has begun to accumulate much critical acclaim for their ability to work as a mature, cohesive unit, performing a wide range of exiting new arrangements of jazz standards, to originals, co-authored originals, and adventurous takes on many Brazilian songs and music from other genres. The two started their musical relationship and great friendship at an early age, and are constantly challenging each other and to find new ways to stretch musically, bringing a tangible combination of synergy, spontaneity, and musical discovery to every performance. Already this young unit has performed to glowing reviews at the Newport Jazz Festival; Symphony Hall in Boston; the Ouro Preto Jazz Festival in a Brazilian tour that also included performances in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo; the Berks Jazz Festival; the San Francisco Jazz Festival; and the Tanglewood Jazz Festival.
With five albums to his credit, and an array of live performances on his resume with such top-notch jazz figures as Dave Brubeck, James Moody, and Ernestine Anderson, 2-time GRAMMY nominee Taylor Eigsti is no rookie in the music world. Eigsti's sound is rooted in jazz history, but incorporates the progressive jazz sound of the 21st century. Eigsti's prodigious technique and unique rhythmic intensity is matched by his sensitivity and maturity on the keyboard.
On his newest album, "Lucky to Be Me", Eigsti frames himself with two world-class rhythm teams: bassist Christian McBride and drummer Lewis Nash on six songs, and bassist James Genus and drummer Billy Kilson on another four. Julian Lage appears on four tracks on guitar.
The most recent album has garnered much acclaim since its March 2006 release, including peaking at #7 on the National Jazz Radio Airplay charts, after being on the chart for 23 weeks, ending the year as the #15 most played jazz album on the radio. Eigsti was also featured in many of the "Top 10 best CDs of 2006" lists compiled by JazzWeek. In November, Eigsti was featured on the cover of Jazziz magazine, one month after Eigsti was selected in the 2006 Downbeat Critics poll for in the "Rising Star Piano" category. The following month, Eigsti was nominated for two GRAMMY awards - one for Best Jazz Solo Performance for his improvisation on "Freedom Jazz Dance", and another nomination for Best Instrumental Composition, for his song "Argument". The fellow nominees in both of these categories includes Roy Haynes, Paquito D'Rivera, Branford Marsalis, John Williams, Fred Hersch, Patrick Williams, and the late Michael Brecker, who has always been an influence and an great inspiration for Eigsti.
Eigsti became devoted to the piano after the death of his sister, Shannon, a talented pianist who succumbed to cancer when he was just three. He began playing a year later, and at eight, he opened for his friend and mentor, jazz pianist David Benoit. At 12, Eigsti shared the stage with Diane Schuur, Dave Brubeck, and opened for Diana Krall and Al Jarreau. Other artists that Eigsti has worked with include Patti Austin, Frederica Von Stade, Sylvia McNair, Johnny Frigo, Keter Betts, Peter Bernstein, Bobby Hutcherson, Red Holloway, and Kevin Mahogany, Alan Broadbent, Anton Schwartz, Kitty Margolis, Madeline Eastman, and many more musicians in various settings.
Eigsti has had much exposure on various radio and television programs, has been the featured guest twice on Marian McPartland's award-winning NPR program Piano Jazz. Recently, he can also be seen in several BET concert specials filmed last summer. Eigsti's working quartet includes Reuben Rogers on bass, Eric Harland on drums, and Julian Lage on guitar, all of whom will be on a new recording that is currently in the works and set for release later this year.
Herbie Hancock: "Julian, you play with heart, mind, and soul. Where'd you find all this so early in life?"
David Grisman: "I was amazed by the depth of his playing, he's a real improviser who just goes with the flow. He's not about anything other than making a beautiful musical statement."
Gary Burton: "We had to do various takes on different tunes, and it struck me how none of his solos were alike. He was constantly inventive but without a need to show off. His way of proving himself is not by being flashy, but by discovering the meaning in the music."
At every stage in his growth, those most qualified to judge Julian Lage have given passing notice to his blazing technique, his passion for excellence, and even his youth. But they usually save their highest accolades for his musical wisdom, sophistication and wit, which they find even more remarkable than his skill on the guitar.
Still not twenty years old, but with over a decade performing as a professional, Lage has found ways to nourish his aptitudes and keep his passion alive throughout a long, demanding conservatory education, and a great deal of attention from the media. Though he showed promise quite early, Julian instinctively avoided the temptation to become a narrow technical performer on guitar. Educated in Western classical music at the San Francisco Conservatory and Sonoma State University, Julian listened to jazz on his own. He developed improvisational skill in parallel with his classical musical education, studying at Ali Akbar College of Music in California and Berklee College of Music in Boston.
In a recent chapter of the story, Julian has been playing and composing for vibraphonist Gary Burton's Generations band. This ongoing collaboration has produced great performances on tour and in the studio, several original compositions by Julian, and two successful cd's with the Generations band.
Rapidly outgrowing the acclaim and curiosity that follow childhood prodigies, and taking his place as an accomplished artist with a long career ahead, Julian Lage now looks at his future from the front rank of performers of his generation--a composer, guitarist, and buoyant spirit who delights and inspires musicians and fans alike.

After surviving a near-fatal accident, thirty-year-old Lizzy Mitchell faces a long road to recovery. She remembers little about the days she spent in and out of consciousness, save for one thing: She saw her beloved deceased uncle, Father Mike, the man who raised her in the rectory of his Maine church until she was nine, at which time she was abruptly sent away to boarding school. Was Father Mike an angel, a messenger from the beyond, or something more corporeal? Though her troubled marriage and her broken body need tending, Lizzy knows she must uncover the details of her accident–and delve deep into events of twenty years before, when whispers and accusations forced a good man to give up the only family he had. With deft insight into the snares of the human heart, Monica Wood has written an intimate and emotionally expansive novel full of understanding and hope.
About the Author

Praise For…
"If you liked The Secret Life of Bees, try Any Bitter Thing."
"Wood illuminates the grace in the average and the everyday, the miracles that lie within the ordinary life. . . . [An] intimate exploration of love and faith, betrayal and penance."
–San Francisco Chronicle
"Deserves a place on the shelf with modern classics such as John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany and Richard Russo's Empire Falls . . . the story is full of suspense and surprise."
–Maine Sunday Telegram

–David Kipen, National Public Radio
"[An] exquisite, soul-satisfying novel of hearts broken seemingly beyond repair and healed in the utter unlikeliness of grace."
–Tim Farrington, author of The Monk Downstairs

While COPD is a growing health crisis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention its prevalence in New Jersey is relatively low compared to other states: 4.8 percent of adults (more than 325,000) have been diagnosed with COPD, compared with Kentucky (9.3 percent), Alabama (9.1 percent) and Tennessee (8.7 percent).

The numbers below each box represents the position of the binding site in correlation to the transcriptional start site. The arrows indicate the forward and reverse primers. In the Act5C gene, two Oct-binding sites are located in the first intron, while the primers bind to a region in the second intron. (B) Chromatin was extracted from whole OrR flies after fixation with formaldehyde and immunoprecipitation reactions were carried out with a peptide-specific Nub antibody (lane 4). Negative control immunoprecipitations were carried out in parallel, either without antibody (lane 2) or with an antibody against the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II (lane 3), which is not expected to bind to the upstream region of these genes in uninfected flies. Primers located in the transcribed region of Act5C gene and in a non-transcribed region (intergenic region) were analyzed in parallel to assess the specificity of the chromatin immunoprecipitation, showing that RNA polymerase II, but not Nub, binds to the transcribed region of the Act5C gene, while neither protein binds to the non-transcribed region. (C) Control immunoprecipitation with chromatin, which was phenol-chloroform-extracted prior to fixation, showing the specificity of the protein-antibody interactions. As expected, no PCR products were observed with any of the antibodies.

Last week was fried dough at the Tisbury Street Fair. This week it's malasada, sopa and cacoila. Welcome to the Portuguese Holy Ghost Feast and Festival, a two-day extravaganza of eating, festivities and a parade through the streets of Oak Bluffs.
By the time the celebrants arrived at the Portuguese American club on Saturday, the soup was hot, the chicken was cooking and the ice-cold drinks were ready.
Chefs Brian Patrick Hall of Oak Bluffs and Dylan Estrella of Edgartown were stirring their inaugural sopa, made with fresh linguica, beef and cabbage.
This weekend the Vineyard celebrates the feast of the Holy Ghost. On Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. the P.A. Club located at 137 Vineyard avenue in Oak Bluffs hosts the party. DJ Ricky Prime spins the tunes and no one will go home hungry.
On Sunday at 11:30 a.m. the parade begins at the Steamship Ferry in Oak Bluffs and gradually makes its way to the P.A. Club. The party continues until 5 p.m. Food, henna tattoos, games, auction, face painting and music on both days on Sunday after the parade the Bay State Band.
Holy Ghost Feast Honors Heritage of Portuguese
By MARK ALAN LOVEWELL
Two days of celebration begin tomorrow in the annual Feast of the
Holy Ghost. Islanders of Portuguese heritage and their friends will
party, dine and parade in a festival whose traditions date back more
than half a century.
"This is our heritage," said Bobbie Ann Gibson of Oak
Bluffs, president of the Holy Ghost Association.
The scene at the Portuguese-American Club Saturday night smelled of fresh fried dough, sweet bread, marinated shish-kebabs over the fire, Cacoila (Portuguese stew), and of course, of sopa, the soup that Islanders of all heritages associate so much with this annual celebration of the Feast of the Holy Ghost.
"It takes a lot of people to make it all work," said longtime coordinator Tricia Bergeron. And a lot of people volunteer, year after year.
With the mercury topping 90, Islanders elsewhere complained about the mugginess, but at the weekend's annual Feast of the Holy Ghost, the prevailing atmosphere was, as ever, the light spirit of generosity.

Wyrd Designs – Veterans & Einherjar
Within the Northern Tradition there is a deep respect to those who serve in the military. While Veteran's Day is intended to first and foremost honor those living Veterans from past military service, it is also used to honor those currently serving, and to a lesser degree those soldiers now dead. Some Heathens will be observing rituals to honor the Einherjar: the battle-slain warriors who are taken to Valhalla. Of course, not all of the battle-slain go to Valhalla some also go to Freya's Hall, bu … [Read more...]

Newtown High School senior Maggie Wruck and her date Kollin McDonald of Stony Brook, N.Y., decided on a Batman theme for the NHS Senior Prom, held this past Friday, April 25, at the Matrix Conference & Banquet Center in Danbury. Maggie donned these shoes, and I hear she customized them herself, hand gluing roughly 10,000 rhinestones all over them, including the Batman insignia. Kollin followed the theme, wearing a Batman bowtie and cufflinks.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- David Reutimann said he was backed into a corner and had to stand up for himself when he intentionally wrecked Kyle Busch at Kansas Speedway.
Reutimann hit Busch in Sunday's race as retaliation for earlier contact between the two. Busch, a championship contender, was running seventh when Reutimann wrecked him and ended up finishing 21st.
It cost him significantly in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings, as Busch dropped from third to seventh.
But how it affected Busch was not in Reutimann's thought process. He had strong runs spoiled in three of the last four races and felt like he had to send a message that drivers can't run him over.
"You know if you go and run over Tony Stewart, he's not going to let that slide. You go out there and you run over the 42 car of Juan Pablo Montoya, he's not going to let it slide," Reutimann said Tuesday during an appearance at Martinsville Speedway.
"How often do you see those guys get run over? Never. Not ever. That's all I'm trying to say. It's all about respect. Sometimes you give it a lot more than you get. And sometimes you just have to do things to make people see that what was once deemed acceptable is no longer acceptable."
Reutimann is not one of the 12 drivers competing for the Sprint Cup championship. He's currently 18th in the standings but has had strong runs ruined over the last month.
He was running in the top six early at Richmond when contact with Kurt Busch caused him to spin. He was running 14th two weeks ago at Dover when Ryan Newman wrecked him, and he was wrecked by Kyle Busch on Sunday.
His retaliation has caused a commotion with manufacturer Toyota, which supports both drivers' teams. Toyota is trying to win its first Sprint Cup title this season, and Busch and Hamlin are its only eligible drivers.
It led Reutimann to admit he's "not very proud of the way things went down," but that he felt like he had to retaliate.
"It's a situation where things have gone far enough and you have to do a little something about it and ideally it's not what you'd like to do," he said. "Sometimes you don't have a choice."

We sometimes wonder if AAPT Instructor Ciaran Cribbs might actually be 5 people rolled into one. After moving to the United States from Ireland, Ciaran earned his undergraduate degree in Human Nutrition, followed by a graduate degree in Exercise and Sports Nutrition, and followed by yet another graduate program in Clinical Exercise Physiology.
Ciaran is a Registered Dietician, a Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist, a Certified Personal Trainer, a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, a Certified Health and Fitness Instructor, and a Licensed Teacher. He has worked in settings ranging from corporate (Citigroup) to clinical (Joslin Diabetes Center, Melrose-Wakefield Hospital Cardiac Rehab) to community (Cooper Clinic) to fitness management (New York Sports Clubs) to educational (Northeastern, Texas WU, AAPT).
As a teacher, Ciaran cares deeply about bringing each of his students successfully through the curriculum that he is teaching. He has a truly unique talent for breaking down complicated concepts and dense study material into easily digested pieces for his students. Aside from his contributions at AAPT, Ciaran has also taught undergraduate courses, community seminars, employee training programs and occupational education programs in subjects ranging from Nutrition to Exercise Physiology to Public Health to Personal Training.
When he's not teaching, Ciaran is also a competitive soccer player, a marathon athlete, a world-traveling hiker…and we think possibly also a gladiator or an astronaut (you really never know with Ciaran).

Ever since Eva Ledezma can remember, she has wanted to be a teacher. And it was that dream she was pursuing as a student at the prestigious Paris-Sorbonne University in France. When she arrived in France, she was expecting to be filled with French culture and language. What she discovered instead was her true passion. Her time in France solidly formed her desire to become a stronger, more physically fit individual, and her education and career goals were turned on their head.
A semester away from graduating, Eva instead began taking courses in kinesiology. Two years later, she graduated with a minor in kinesiology – but she didn't stop there. Driven to fully pursue her new passion, she applied (and was accepted) to Columbia University's Applied Physiology and Nutrition program.
Along the way, Eva has had plenty of opportunities to hone her teaching skills. She is fluent in English, Spanish and French, has taught in the United States, France and Vietnam, and her students have ranged in age from young children to adults.
Meanwhile, Eva is an accomplished and experienced Personal Trainer. She practices currently as a Nutrition Consultant and Personal Trainer for PPTS Wellness, as well as a Pacer and Running Coach for Nike Run Club. In her teaching roles outside of AAPT, Eva has provided workshops as a guest lecturer for Nike and offers monthly lectures on Practical Nutrition at the Bodies Exhibit in Downtown Manhattan.
After culminating a year-long internship as part of her studies at Columbia, Eva will qualify to take the American Dietetic Association's exam to become a Registered Dietician.
When Eva is not teaching or training, she is an Ultra-Marathoner, a Triathlete, and a member of the Calpulli Mexican Folkloric Dance Company.
