PUBLISHED Sat Aug 02 11:03:00 EDT 2014 0 1 / 6 A massive galaxy cluster sprawls across the sky in this July 24 Hubble Space Telescope image.Filled with stars, the galaxy cluster, dubbed MCS J0416.1-2403, weighs in at 160 trillion times more than the sun. It is one of six such clusters under study by the space telescope.The gravitational pull of the cluster is so intense that it bends light from its galaxies, blurring and elongating their appearance slightly, a gravitational "lens effect" that magnifies their appearance.—Dan Vergano, Photo Editing by Sherry Brukbacher Photograph by ESA/Hubble, NASA, HST Frontier Fields Acknowledgement: Mathilde Jauzac (Durham University, UK and Astrophysics & Cosmology Research Unit, South Africa) and Jean-Paul Kneib (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland) Telescope's Eye Will Pierce the Sky A giant Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) telescope, depicted perched atop Mauna Kea in an artist's rendition, will join the ranks of observatories worldwide.Construction of the telescope has been given the green light and is scheduled to begin later this year. Mauna Kea, renowned for its clear view of the sky, is already home to a dozen large telescopes.Some 60 mirrors will combine to form the 30-meter (98 feet) main mirror of the TMT. That will make its main mirror more than three times wider than any other visible light telescope on Mauna Kea. Image courtesy TMT What Lies Beneath? Geysers fume from the south pole of Saturn's mysterious moon, Enceladus, seen in this July 28 peek from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.A subsurface ocean warmed by the tidal force of Saturn's gravity likely feeds the plumes emanating from the ice-covered moon. NASA scientists now estimate that 101 geysers spring from the four long fractures called "tiger stripes" that line the moon's south pole. Photograph by NASA, JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute Bent Light Reveals Ancient Galaxy Twisted by gravity, the blue light of an ancient galaxy glimmers beside the red light of a closer galaxy, seen in this July 31 picture. Some 9.6 billion light-years away, the red galaxy is the most distant one yet seen that uses its gravity to bend light from even more distant stars, creating a gravitational lens effect that magnifies the light from distant objects.Einstein predicted these gravitational lenses, which are now a favorite of astronomers and allows them to observe distant objects, including the blue galaxy in the picture, which would be otherwise too dim to see. Photograph by NASA, ESA, K.-V. Tran (Texas A&M University), and K. Wong (Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy & Astrophysics) Dust Disks Skewed by Stars Dueling dust disks are set askew by the gravity of twin stars, shown in this July 30 illustration of the HK Tauri solar system. (See "Astronomers Unravel Secrets of Weirdly Tilted Solar Systems.")The dust disks surrounding both stars spin in a direction tilted with respect to the rotational direction of their stars. Discovery of the skewed dust disks may help scientists explain how some solar systems develop their tilts.Most planets are thought to form from such dust disks around stars. Our own solar system spins around the sun in alignment with its equator, but many others don't. Some may have first formed in double star systems like this one. Photograph by R. Hurt, NASA/JPL-Caltech/IPAC Martian Minerals Hint At Water Bright rocks piled across the surface of Mars, seen in this July 30 view from space, are water-bearing minerals formed when the red planet was young.The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft spotted the minerals lining Noctis Labyrinthus, "the labyrinth of the night," a region of the red planet riven by valleys and canyons.The minerals may date to the late Hesperian epoch roughly 1.8 billion years ago, when Mars was a wetter world.

Not 'Just Another International Match'
Lennard Stokes was a man of many talents. He was the finest rugby player of his day, captain of England and later president of the Rugby Football Union. A doctor, he was once credited as the inspiration for Dr. Watson, sidekick to Arthur Conan Doyle's immortal creation Sherlock Holmes.
He was also a rugby seer. After leading England to victory over Wales by a margin, in modern equivalents, of 82-0 when they first met in 1881, he told his obliterated opponents: "I have seen enough of you Welshmen to know you will be hard to beat in a few years' time."
That massacre at London's Blackheath had no subsequent parallel. Instead, it launched the most tightly contested rivalry in sport.
One hundred and twenty eight years on, the 119th England vs. Wales match will be played Saturday at Twickenham. Part of the opening weekend of this year's RBS Six Nations championship (also involving France, Scotland, Italy and reigning champions Ireland), it is a tie-breaker, with the all-time series level at 53 wins apiece plus 12 draws.
A capacity crowd of 78,000 at Twickenham, generating around £4.5 million ($7.2 million) from tickets, £500,000 from catering and as much as £250,000 in merchandise sales, testifies to the enduring appeal of the Six Nations and this match in particular.
You might expect the historic balance to echo England's 64-14 dominance of Wales at football. England has around 50 million people to Wales's three million. Its 1,900 rugby clubs dwarf Wales's 325, and it has many more players, with roughly three times as many professionals to choose from.
Wales draws players from a wider social range, but this hardly levels the scales—there are as many English schools in the Headmasters Conference, the elite of the private sector, as the total number of state secondary schools in Wales.
Instead the rivalry has an intensity explained by former England captain Dean Richards, who played seven times against Wales.
"It is the one match, this Welsh one, which every Englishman wants to be a part of, which has just got to be won," Mr. Richards says. "Nothing really compares to the atmosphere of this Welsh match. It's confrontation, it's history".
That an Englishman sees it this way explains much of its appeal. Given the disparity in resources, Wales has to put much more of itself into rugby to maintain parity. It takes two, though, to make a great rivalry.
All small nations are doomed to define their identity with reference to larger neighbors and few more so than Wales. Its relationship with England has been close, at times to the point of suffocation, but rarely equal. The rugby pitch has been the one arena in which equality and respect could be demanded.
Its importance was also accentuated by the long absence of other significant national symbols—Wales only acquired a capital in 1955, an officially recognized flag in 1960 and its national assembly in 1999. As journalist John Morgan wrote in 1958: "Picking the rugby team is the nearest Wales gets to self-government."
Welsh fans are more demonstrative than their English counterparts and will provide noise and color disproportionate to a presence in the Twickenham crowd, which is sure to greatly exceed the Welsh Rugby Union's official allocation of 6,500 tickets.
Yet if rugby matters more to Wales as a nation, England's players and fans are no less passionate in their desire to win. While Welsh national identity has been forged in relation, and opposition, to England, English rugby has been heavily influenced by proximity to and contact with Wales.
Before the arrival of league rugby in the 1980s, which has led to the majority of club rugby being played within national borders, leading Welsh clubs were regular, hugely demanding opponents for their English counterparts. The broadcaster and former England full-back Alastair Hignell recalls the epidemic of "Welsh flu" wont to sideline less resolute teammates before tough fixtures across the border.
England's players, the 37-year-old lock Simon Shaw apart, are too young to remember much of Wales's dominance from 1964 to 1989, a quarter century that saw only four England wins, none away from home. But the coaches and the bulk of the Twickenham crowd aren't.
Few of the clubs they played for, or schools they attended, lacked a resident Welshman ready to rib them about this long period of hegemony.
England took copious revenge between 1990 and 2004, with only two Wales wins, but recent years have seen a fresh swing and four Welsh victories in the past five championship clashes.
Wales currently has the more accomplished, settled and experienced team. The average age of both XVs is around 29, but Welsh starters average 36 previous caps apiece to the English team's 29. They have also won two Grand Slams—winning all five matches in a championship season—since England last seriously challenged for the title.
This match, though, is at Twickenham, as long ago as 1912 described by a Welsh writer as having "an indefinable something…not congenial to the Celtic temperament."
It marks the centenary of the first international at the ground, when Wales conceded a first-minute try before losing a 12-year unbeaten record against England. There have been only a dozen wins in 44 subsequent visits. A Welsh victory would make Ryan Jones only their second captain in 100 years to win twice at Twickenham.
Whichever country leads 54-53 by Saturday night, nothing will change the reality understood by Lennard Stokes and put into words in 1989 by English writer Christopher Wordsworth: "This never was, and never will be, just another international match."

Jordan receives first group of Syrians at new refugee camp
Agence France Presse reported Monday that Jordan's third refugee camp in Azraq has received it first group of Syrian refugees ahead of its official opening that is scheduled for later this week.
UNHCR Jordan spokesman Ali Bibi told AFP, "A few hundred Syrian refugees started to arrive in Azraq camp this morning [ahead of the official inauguration of the camp that is scheduled for Wednesday]."
UNHCR's Jordan director Andrew Harper also tweeted similar news Monday, saying "While official opening of Azraq camp is on the 30th, the first 200 arrived this am."
The new camp is located approximately 100 kilometers (60 miles) form Jordan's capital, and it is hoped that its opening will relieve growing resource pressures on the Zaatari refugee camp that is now home to more than 100,000 refugees.
"Azraq can now take up to 50,000 people. In the future, with the help of the international community, Jordan and the U.N., we hope that it will take up to 130,000," Bibi said.
"Zaatari will stop receiving refugees. They will be transferred to Azraq from now on," he added.
Over 100 kilometers of roads, two schools, a 130-bed hospital and a water distribution system have also been built inside the camp.
Jordan also houses nearly 4,000 refugees in a smaller refugee camp call Mureijeb Fhud.
More than 580,000 Syrians have registered with UNHCR as refugees in Jordan. However, many Syrians have not registered, particularly those living outside the camps. Only 20 percent of Jordan's refugee population lives in the camps, with the remaining 80 percent living in urban areas throughout the country, according to the UN.

The main body of empirical work which underpins the discussion in this book was conducted as part of the project 'Labour Relations in Transition -- Restructuring and Privatization' funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) (Grant no. L309253027) as part of its East-West Initiative. The project was designed and the methodology agreed by an international research team at the outset. Teams of local researchers were commissioned to undertake the case-study research. In addition, members of the British team visited the enterprises during the course of the research. The case-study enterprises were identified in the six countries and visited over a threeyear period. In the initial visits key informants were identified at each level in the enterprise: senior, middle, and junior management, trade-union leaders, and other workers' representatives and employees. In return visits researchers were able to attend management meetings and workers' meetings and to observe production processes. (For a full discussion of the research process, see Thirkell et al. 1995: 2-6.) The following provides a brief overview of the research in each country. The British team consisted of Richard Scase, John Thirkell, and Sarah Vickerstaff, all at the University of Kent at Canterbury. Listed below are the core cases discussed in this volume. The research project included other enterprises which are not discussed here.
Professor K. Petkov, Professor of the Sociology of Work at the University of Sofia and President of the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions (CITUB); Grigor Gradev, Director of Research, CITUB.

The Star Plus afternoon Soap Bhabhi is now going thro lots of twists and turns. The story is now in an extremely gripping stage wherein Suhaana is presumed to be dead, while her look-alike Lolita claims to be Suhaana. Vishal Singh who plays Dev is traumatized and is in a dilemma as his wife's look-alike claims to be his wife… , the wife who died just before his eyes..
The look-alike Lolita is now fighting it out in court, to prove herself as Suhaana. Well, a mole on Dev's back, temple going scene, the mangalsutra getting broken, the diary of Suhaana are few things that the look-alike speaks of in court to prove her true identity.. Now, does this story ring bells in your ears? Ofcourse yes, because this recent track in Bhabhi seems to be an exact take-off from a very popular film of the 60's, Mera Saaya… We saw the sad husband Sunil Dutt trying to get to terms with his wife's death and there was a Sadhana pleading to the court that she was indeed the protagonist's wife…
We got to talk to Rucha Gujrati who plays Suhaana and this is what she has to say about the recent track…
"The court drama is going on now where the protagonist presumed to be Lolita claims to be the wife of Dr. Dev, Suhaana Thakral. She cries and sulks in court that she is Suhaana, but her husband is not convinced at all." Rucha preferred not to reveal the real identity, as she said, " If I reveal the suspense, then the spice in the story will be lost.. I want my viewers and fans to be glued to their TV sets every at 1.30", says Rucha. When quizzed about Amit Tandon playing the new Nihaal, Rucha had to say, " Yes, it is true that Amit has been replaced as Nihaal now. He has already started shooting. There will be a major twist in the tale very soon. Nihaal is closely watching the happenings in court, he is watching the total chaos at court where the protagonist is trying to convince one and all that she is Suhaana. The protagonist goes mad on getting a death sentence. She behaves hysterically and gets violent in court. So she gets admitted to the Mental Asylum where eventually it is Nihaal who will help out the protagonist on her journey to truth", says Rucha..
So much drama and twists are in store in this daily afternoon soap Bhabhi.. But watching this story go exactly the "Mera Saaya" way, we all can just hope that the end to this twist will also go as per the movie, thus revealing to the audience that the girl is indeed Suhaana and not Lolita… Keep watching Bhabhi to know more!!

Masquerade by Tivadar Soros
Book DescriptionThe Nazis came late to Hungary because, until early 1944, Germany and Hungary were allies. But when they did arrive, their orders were to put the Final Solution into effect with deliberate speed. Soros, a Jewish lawyer in Budapest, secured fake Christian identities for himself, his wife, and his two sons following the German invasion of Hungary on March 19, 1944. In a narrative reminiscent of the great Primo Levi, Soros recounts his experiences with a beguiling humor, deep humanity, and a wisdom that is humbling. Superbly translated by Humphrey Tonkin, "Masquerade" is a unique account of how one man managed not only to survive but to retain his integrity, compassion, family unity, and humor by dancing around death. Like Klemperer s "Diary of the Nazi Years," this very personal, low-key testament of the Holocaust is a gripping depiction of normal daily life under the Nazistold by a man who triumphed by leading an ordinary life under extraordinary and terrifying circumstances."

My husband and I have owned our Life Source System for over 6 years and are very pleased. We are on a well and the water is VERY hard. This system has helped diminish the hard water spots on the shower doors and on the dishes, glasses, etc... The maintenance has been very minimal. We change our cartridge about every 4 months and that's it. Everytime we have had a quesion or concern about the system, our representative has been prompt in answering our questions. I would recommend this system to my friends.

Adult Health and Relationship Outcomes among Women with Abuse Experiences during Childhood
Cannon, Elizabeth A., Bonomi, Amy E., Anderson, Melissa L., Rivara, Frederick P., Thompson, Robert S., Violence and Victims
Associations between child abuse and/or witnessing intimate partner violence (IPV) during childhood and women's health, adult IPV exposure, and health care use were examined. Randomly sampled insured women ages 18-64 (N = 3,568) completed a phone interview assessing childhood exposure to abuse and witnessing IPV, current health, and adult IPV exposure. Women's health care use was collected from automated health plan databases. Poor health status, higher prevalence of depression and IPV, and greater use of health care and mental health services were observed in women who had exposure to child abuse and witnessing IPV during childhood or child abuse alone, compared with women with no exposures. Women who had witnessed IPV without child abuse also had worse health and greater use of health services. Findings reveal adverse long-term and incremental effects of differing child abuse experiences on women's health and relationships.
Keywords : adult health ; health care utilization ; intimate partner violence ; child abuse ; witnessing intimate partner violence
Child abuse history is prevalent among women ( Arnow, 2004 ; Chartier, Walker, & Naimark, 2007 ; Newman et al., 2000 ; Tang et al., 2006 ; Thompson et al., 2006 ) and is associated with poor health across the lifespan ( Batten, Aslan, Maciejewski, & Mazure, 2004 ; Bensley, Van Eenwyk, & Wynkoop Simmons, 2003; Carlson, McNutt, & Choi, 2003 ; McCauley et al., 1997 ; Moeller, Bachmann, & Moeller, 1993 ; Nicolaidis, Curry, McFarland, & Gerrity, 2004 ; Thurston et al., 2008 ; Walker et al., 1999 ). As well, witnessing intimate partner violence (IPV) in childhood-a stressful, adverse experience ( Felitti et al., 1998 )-is associated with poor health well into adulthood ( Dube Anda, Felitti, Edwards, & Williamson, 2002 ). Studies suggest a dose-response relationship between adverse childhood exposures (such as child abuse and witnessing IPV) and poor self-rated health in adulthood ( Bensley et al., 2003 ; Dube, Felitti, Dong, Giles, & Anda, 2003 ; Edwards, Holden, Felitti, & Anda, 2003 ; Felitti et al., 1998 ). Anda, Felitti, Edwards, & Williamson, 2002 ). Studies suggest a dose-response relationship
Studies have also shown an association between childhood abuse and adverse relationship outcomes in adulthood, including IPV victimization ( Bensley et al., 2003 ; Coid et al., 2001 ; Nicolaidis et al., 2004 ; Thompson et al., 2006 ; Whitfield, Anda, Dube, & Felitti, 2003 ). This relationship has also been shown for witnessing IPV during childhood and IPV exposure in adulthood ( Bensley et al., 2003 ; Thompson et al., 2006 ; Whitfield et al., 2003 ). Moreover, a graded relationship has been found between the number of child abuse exposures and IPV ( Bensley et al., 2003 ; Whitfield et al., 2003 ). In addition, the extant literature points to higher health care use for women with exposure to childhood physical and sexual abuse ( Anda, Brown, Felitti, Dube, & Giles, 2008 ; Arnow, 2004 ; Arnow et al., 2000 ; Bonomi, Anderson, et al., 2008 ; Chartier et al., 2007 ; Finestone et al., 2000 ; Newman et al., 2000 ; Tang et al., 2006 ). For example, one recent study found that adverse childhood experiences (such as physical abuse, sexual abuse, and witnessing IPV) were associated with increased prescription drug use ( Anda et al., 2008 ).
In addition, the same study found a graded relationship between number of adverse childhood experiences and risk for number of classes of drugs used.
Although some studies have examined the individual and combined effects of child abuse and witnessing IPV on adult health status, IPV exposure (i.e., Bensley et al., 2003 ) and adult health care utilization, they have examined only a couple of outcomes, such as IPV victimization and self-reported overall health, and none to our knowledge have examined more than one objective indicator of health care use by these exposures. In addition, prior studies did not conceptualize IPV as including physical, sexual, and nonphysical types of abuse ( Bensley et al. …

Datuk Seri Effendi Norwawi
KUALA LUMPUR: Construction and property-based Encorp Bhd's next stage of growth would be "nothing short of spectacular" with the imminent launch of many high-value and unique projects, says its group chief executive officer, Yeoh Soo Ann.
He said on Thursday the projects would be synonymous with the Encorp brand, including the Encorp Strand Mall, set to be the Klang Valley's most exciting lifestyle community mall when it opens in late 2013.
Yeoh and chief operating officer Mohd Ibrahim Masrukin led the management buy-out of the company, which was mooted by its then executive chairman Datuk Seri Effendi Norwawi.
On Tuesday, Datuk Dr Md Hamzah Md Kassim was appointed the new non-executive chairman following Effendi's exit.
Encorp said Effendi opted for the management buy-out option for his exit to ensure continuity and to bring to fruition the long-term aspirations for the company.
These aspirations were shared with his senior leadership team who have been with him since the inception of Encorp in 1997.
The company said Effendi decided to leave Encorp after he had achieved his personal goals for the group, which had projects with a gross development value of RM3.5bil.
Following his exit, Effendi would focus on his other interests, including returning to the media industry, furthering his passion for the arts and developing the next generation of Malaysian leaders.
"I leave Encorp to capable, dedicated and passionate leaders, who have journeyed with me since we started," said Effendi.
Encorp said Yeoh and Ibrahim played a central part in building the company. They are part of the same team that managed Encorp when Effendi was appointed Agriculture Minister and then as Minister in the Prime Minister's Department heading the Economic Planning Unit.
Encorp was most recently recognised for its excellent corporate governance practices at the 9th Corporate Governance Asia Recognition Awards in Manila and its construction unit, Encorp Construct Sdn Bhd has won numerous contracts and has an order book of over RM500mil.

Mencap Cymru's Older Voices project is helping older people with a learning disability to fight for their rights
"I lived with my mother for a very long time, and I looked after her when my father passed away," says David Raymond Jones (see below). "But when she got ill four years ago, I had to move. Now, I live with another man in a supported flat and I am happy. I've been lucky, but other people find it difficult to get what I have."
Thanks to better healthcare, the number of older people with a learning disability – and indeed all older people – is increasing. However, as David suggests, often the treatment they receive is less than impressive.
Many older people with a learning disability are unknown to social services. The strategy Valuing People estimated that at least 25% of people with a learning disability living with family carers over the age of 70 have no contact with services.
One reason for this is mistrust. Some were forced into institutions by social services, while others stayed with their parents, who are now ageing. But
because their parents are sceptical about the help available and hadn't expected their children to live very long, they often make no plans for the future. So, when they pass away, their sons and daughters can end up in inappropriate care situations.
"It's like they've been forgotten about," says Jaki Southgate, project manager of the Older Voices project for older people with a learning disability in Wales. "They say that people think all they want is to watch TV and knit. There's no person-centred planning."
On top of this, older people with a learning disability face discrimination and often hate crime. "They are more vulnerable and fear going out," says Jaki, "not just because they are older, but because they also have a learning disability. Their independence suffers."
Plus, many find it difficult to relate to younger people and vice versa. They don't trust the government, because of funding cuts, and are confused by the political system.
Tackling the problems
In Wales, Older Voices aims to address this. It was set up by Mencap Cymru last April in Blaenau Gwent, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Swansea and Anglesey.
The three-year project, funded by Comic Relief, will work with 17 people with a learning disability over the age of 50 in each area. Two will become trainers on the project and 15 will become beneficiaries.
Older Voices has two main aims. The first is to make the older people aware of their rights and give them the confidence and skills to change things. This will be achieved through workshops, run by Jaki and the trainers.
While those who need it will receive additional support, for most there will be one workshop per month, with three key stages. "The first stage concentrates on the different levels of government and who does what," explains Jaki. "The second is on how to contact that person and put a campaign together. The third is doing the campaign."
A person-centred plan will be drawn up for each person, "so they can make the changes themselves, with a little bit of help," says Jaki. "We are a self-help project really."
The aim is to encourage the beneficiaries to participate in older people's forums and campaigning groups. "There are loads of forums, but the representation of people with a learning disability is minimal. We want to see people with a learning disability on forums like Age Cymru."
The second aspect of the project is to raise awareness of the issues that older people with a learning disability face and get older people's organisations to include them in their decision making.
Jaki will set up two steering groups to encourage joint working with relevant organisations. "We are looking at a national steering group and local steering groups," she explains, "possibly with some of the beneficiaries and the trainers on the local steering groups.
"The national steering group would be organisations that get together and discuss our mutual issues and how to overcome barriers – like Age Cymru, Learning Disability Wales and the Welsh health boards," she says.
So what would Jaki like the project to achieve? "I would like to see local councillors who are over 50 with a learning disability getting things sorted out for other people in the community," she says. "That would be my dream."
David's story
David is an Older Voices trainer in Rhondda Cynon Taf. "I really like working in a team and doing all the work we do," says David. "At the workshops, I am going to be talking to the group about the rights of older people. We want to show other people how to promote their rights.
"I enjoyed living with my mother and where I live now. But a lot of people went to institutions. It's not very nice that people went there. And now some people are being bullied. It's good for them to come and talk about their problems."
Sounds like a payday ldeenr. Pure scum if that is the case.Why would you need a loan at 390% APR? Please do yourself a favor and never fall victim to such predatory lending. A loan shark only charges about 200% APR.It is not worth it. If you think you are in bad financial shape now, wait until a couple of weeks after your payday loan. That's when the real financial mess begins.I know it can be tough, but please don't make things worse for yourself. It just isn't worth it.

With a burgeoning middle class, it is estimated that the number of domesticf trips taken by Indonesians this year wil increase by 10 million to reach 255 million, up from the 245 million trips made in 2012", said Dr. Sapta Nirwandar, Deputy Minister of the Ministry for Tourism and Creative Economy at the opening of the Astindo Fair in Jakarta Friday, 22 March.
Indonesia today counts some 100 million people in the upper middle class category, continued Nirwandar, comprising 19 percent of the population, which is a significant increase from the former 15 percent share.
This growth has boosted flights to the different Indonesian cities. When previously there were only three flights daily to Palembang in South Sumatra, now the city receives no less than 27 flights daily. Yogyakarta that formerly received 78 flights, today receives 100 flights per day, Similarly, Lampung in the southern part of Sumatra,that once received only one flight a day, now sees 8 flights daily.
On the other hand, Elly Hutabarat, Chairperson of the Association of Air Ticket Agents (Astindo), said that outbound Indonesians have also increased to between 7.5.million to 8 million per year, supported by easier visa regulations in many countries. Favorite destinations for Indonesians are Western Europe, Turkey and China, said Elly.

Jazz musician Brian Newman, Ohio native and graduate of the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music, has become a New York City Jazz scene staple with his group's popular residencies in the city. And he's been popping up on national television a lot recently thanks to his role as the bandleader of Lady Gaga's Jazz projects. Gaga has employed Newman's group for various Jazz performances over the past few years, including surprise club gigs in NYC and the singer's 2011 network TV special, A Very Gaga Thanksgiving.Newman and his group, which features fellow CCM grads (and onetime players in Cincinnati's music scene) Steve Kortyka (saxophone), Alex Smith (piano) and Scott Ritchie (bass), have also been working with American music icon Tony Bennett, thanks to Bennett and Gaga's recent collaborative album, Cheek to Cheek, released in late September. For live and promotional appearances, Gaga's Jazz backers meld with Bennett's.Newman and Kortyka were recently seen backing Bennett on The Tonight Show (Gaga was unable to make the appearance, but taped an intro for the segment). Newman was also the "guest bartender" on the popular Bravo show, Watch What Happens Live. The trumpeter got sucked into the action during the "after show" when his mom and dad called in; click here to check out the cute clip in which Newman thanks his parents for letting him do whatever he wanted and pursue his musical career.The full CCM-schooled crew will be featured on Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek LIVE!, part of PBS' "Great Performances" series. Filmed at Lincoln Center in late July, the hourlong concert special premieres on Cincinnati PBS channel WCET on Oct. 24 at 9 p.m.

Stage Door: Options for All Ages
Can you imagine Les Misérables without a turntable or the immense barricades lumbering down from the wings? Aubrey Berg, head of the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music's renowned musical theater program, has dramatically re-imagined the legendary show for a run at UC, using a largely bare stage backed by a wall of ladders, staircases, shelves and recessed ledges. Berg's simplified physical production earned my Critic's Pick with its sharper focus on characters, action and music. Les Mis has a remarkable cast of 40 or so with soaring vocal talent for solo numbers and breathtaking choral power when they combine forces in iconic numbers such as "Do You Hear the People Sing?" and "One Day More." It's a spectacular production, onstage through Sunday. Tickets: 513-556-4183. Wicked just opened a three-week run at the Aronoff (it's the third time the show has been here, and it's set box office records every time). Tickets can be expensive (the cheap seats start at $38 and go up quickly from there), so keep in mind there's lottery for a limited number of $25 orchestra seats for each performance. You need to show up in person 2.5 hours before the curtain time (with a valid photo ID) to submit your name; if it's pulled you can purchase one or two tickets. It's worth a shot. Otherwise, you can purchase tickets by calling 513-621-2787. If you're a Tony Bennett fan, you might consider heading to the West Side for I Left My Heart at the Covedale Center, a salute to the legendary crooner. You'll get to hear 40 standards that he's known for — "Because of You," "I Wanna Be Around," "The Good Life" and, of course, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." Tom Highley, Deondra Kamau Means and Brian Wylie will be singing, with Mark Magistrelli at the piano. Through March 23. Tickets: 513-241-6550. Here's an item worth considering for Monday evening: The Educational Theatre Association, a national organization for high school kids involved in theater, is headquartered here in Cincinnati. (They're the folks behind the National Thespian Society.) They're partnering with the School for Creative and Performing Arts on Monday at 7 p.m. for Making Magic, Defying Gravity. Presented at SCPA's Corbett Theatre (108 Central Parkway in Over-the-Rhine), the evening offers a program of music and conversation featuring members of the touring cast of Wicked (as noted above) and performances by high school students from the area. You'll hear from Jason Daunter, Wicked's production stage manager, and Matt Conover, VP with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. They'll talk about how their high school dreams led to careers in the theater. Tickets are $10 in advance; 15 at the door (going on sale at 5:45 p.m.). Proceeds from this event will benefit the Friends of SCPA Scholarship Fund and the Educational Theatre Association's Scholarship Fund, both of which will help develop talent for the future of the theater.

Lyle Lovett's celebrity marriage ends and Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett jam with CCM grads
On this day in 1995, what was seen as one of the strangest "celebrity marriages" ever came to an end as movie star Julia Roberts and singer/songwriter Lyle Lovett announced their separation after being married just 21 months. Although, in hindsight, was the coupling really as odd as it was made out to be at the time?People magazine played up the "beauty and the beast" plot line, suggesting Lovett was some sort of dog-faced weirdo who somehow, miraculously tricked America's sweetheart into marrying him just three weeks after they met. But Lovett is a smart, funny guy who seems genuine, sincere and nice. And it's not like he looked like Joseph Merrick or anything. He did have an unruly, big hairstyle, which seemed enough to make the storyline work. (When Roberts returned to The Pelican Brief set after tying the knot, the cast and crew members reportedly wore T-shirts that said "Welcome Back, Mrs. Lovett" on the front and, on the back, "He's A Lovely Boy … But You Really Must Do Something About His Hair.")People magazine's extensive coverage post-separation was typical of how most media treated the relationship. "From the very beginning of the Julia-Lyle fairy tale — beautiful-but-vulnerable movie star falls big for intriguingly offbeat country crooner — wishful thinking seems to have had an edge over dour common sense." Maybe they were right — two people from vastly different entertainment fields, especially when one is "classically" more attractive and monetarily more successful then the other, will never work out. Roberts went on to marry a cameraman — Daniel Moder — with whom she had three kids. They've been together for a decade. And Lovett has been dating film producer April Kimble since 1999. Lovett has written several touching-to-hilarious songs about love, relationships and marriages. My favorite is the amusing "An Acceptable Level of Ecstasy (The Wedding Song)" from his 1986 self-titled, debut album. But here's the song "Fiona," from his 1996, post-divorce album, The Road to Ensenada, which many feel includes several songs about Roberts. "Fiona"'s intended subject is pretty clear — that's Roberts middle name and what Lovett called her "in code" on stage during the early stages of their hook-up.Born This Day: Musical movers and shakers sharing a March 28 birthday include Country/Pop star (and actress) Reba McEntire (1955); Country singer/songwriter Rodney Atkins (1969); Pop singer/songwriter Matt Nathanson (1973); guitarist with New Wave revivalists The Killers, Dave Keuning (1976); rapper J-Kwon (1986); and superstar Lady Gaga (1986).In the Best of Cincinnati issue out today, we included a pick on a collective of Jazz players — all graduates of U.C.'s College-Conservatory of Music — who joined Gaga and Tony Bennett on last year's hit network TV special, A Very Gaga Thanksgiving. Steve Kortyka (saxophone), Brian Newman (trumpet), Alex Smith (piano) and Scott Ritchie (bass) made up her band for the duet of "The Lady is a Tramp." That's Newman playing the opening riff and introducing the entire special. Check out an interview with Newman about playing with Gaga here.

The 710''s compact design makes it ideal for standalone or half-rackspace operation.
Universal Audio products have been the go-to preamps in my studio for some time. With UA's introduction of the model 710 Twin-Finity Mic/Line/Hi-Z Preamplifier ($799), I have a new favorite. Its unique design features both analog tube and solid-state preamps, and you can seamlessly blend them while maintaining phase alignment. This just may be the most sonically versatile preamp I've ever used.
The 710 looks sharp. Its silver metal case resembles the attractive Avalon U5 and M5, but the glow from the diamond-shaped VU meter in the middle of the unit adds warm distinction. Its 2U, half-rackspace design lends itself to rackmounting (rackmount kit included) or to standalone use (handle kit available separately).
The front panel has knobs for Gain, Level, and Blend, which are used in combination to dial in the exact sound you want. The Gain knob sets the input gain, and because it drives the transistor and tube circuitry, it has the most influence on the tone. The Level knob sets the master output volume, setting the amount of signal sent from the 710's rear-panel line output. Roll the Blend knob to the Trans side to utilize only the solid-state transistor preamp, roll it to the Tube side to utilize only the analog tube preamp, or set it anywhere in between to combine the phase-aligned transistor and tube sounds.
The 710 accepts mic, line, and Hi-Z instrument (DI) input. The mic and line inputs are on the rear panel, whereas the Hi-Z input is on the front. The front panel also sports a +48V phantom-power switch, a 15 dB Pad switch for lowering the mic input level (this has no effect on line input or Hi-Z signals), a Low Cut switch that applies a 75 Hz low-cut Bessel-type filter, and a polarity-reversal switch. The Mic/Line switch selects the input source unless something is connected to the Hi-Z input, which trumps the other inputs. As you'd expect, the meter function switch determines what is shown on the 710's VU meter. When switched to Output, the VU meter displays the output level. When switched to Drive, the VU meter shows the THD (total harmonic distortion) level after the Gain control but before the preamplifier circuitry. That lets you observe how hard the tube and solid-state preamps are being driven.
Under the hood, the solid-state preamp utilizes a transistor design that generates current feedback to create gain without distortion or any loss of sonic detail. This transimpedance design provides transparent amplification with very little coloration and a wide frequency response. The tube preamp design borrows as much from tube guitar amps as from tube mic-preamp circuitry. Its 12AX7 tube is located after the gain control pot, which enables a gentle transition from mild tube warmth to full-on, dirty, even-order harmonic distortion as you turn up the gain.
The art that you can create with this hybrid preamp testifies to the science inside. The variety of tones that it generates can make just about any mic sound special. Performances captured with tube mics have added clarity when run through the 710's solid-state side. Signals recorded with inexpensive dynamic mics have increased depth and warmth when routed through the 710's tube side.
I tested the 710 on a number of input sources — bass, acoustic guitar, male and female vocals, and electric guitar — and was impressed in every case. To hear some examples, check out Web Clips 1 and 2.
The 710 is more than just two preamps in one. The infinity symbol below the Blend knob is very fitting because you can get just about any preamp sound that you want from it. This preamp would be a terrific addition to any studio, especially a smaller-budget studio that could benefit from its sonic versatility.

What It Takes to Produce One Jar of Peanut Butter
Grower Tour
We know all about what is in peanut butter, but how does it get to us as consumers? You can grind your own on the spot at many grocers, but popular commercial brands still line the shelves alongside newer specialty brands.
How are they made? Sorry, Virginia, but there isn't a magical peanut butter fairy. Instead it's a process that begins with roughly 500 runner peanuts.
How Peanuts Are Grown & Harvested in Alabama
Grower Tour
Who: Carl Sanders
What: Peanut farmer
Where: Coffee County, Alabama
Carl Sanders is one of 25,000 peanut farmers in the major producing areas of the United States. Coffee County, Alabama, is where generation after generation of his family have turned the soil year after year to harvest the sand-loving legume. It's also one of the regions within a 100-mile radius of Dothan, Alabama, that produce approximately 75 percent of the nation's peanuts (this includes peanut-growing areas of Georgia and Florida).
When I was there, on a mild fall day, Carl's son was making the most of daylight hours and racing an incoming storm system threatening their harvest schedule. Carl stepped down from his own tractor seat to talk numbers and walk me (and my camera) through the process of a peanut harvest firsthand and a taste test of my first-ever, straight from the field raw peanut.
8 Smart Ways to Make More Space in a Small Kitchen

Tiny kitchens are the norm in Manhattan and other dense urban areas, and many people merely use their teeny kitchens as a place to reheat takeout and store bottles of wine. But as a blogger, food stylist, and recipe developer, Anna of The Yellow Table works in her 48-square-foot kitchen every single day, so she has developed some pretty handy space-saving tricks over the years. "After 4-plus years in this kitchen, I can truly say that I love cooking in it!" she says.
Here are 8 smart tips from Anna on making a small kitchen work better and work harder.

Where: Manhattan, New York

When Anna Watson Carl first laid eyes on the 48-square-foot kitchen in her now-husband Brandon's Manhattan apartment, she wasn't sure she could make it work. "There was no pantry, no drawers, and about one square foot of counter space," she recalls with a laugh. "Not to mention the fact that it was up five flights of stairs!" As a private chef, food writer, and creator of The Yellow Table blog, Anna needed a kitchen that could withstand considerable wear and tear – and that could store her extensive collection of pots and pans.
Here's a look into her little kitchen, and the joyful cooking that happens there!

Well, this looks interesting =) I look forward to seeing the progress on these hacks. Two questions though:
-Are any aspects of the plots going to be changed or improved on?
-What role will the Second Rival play? Will they be like Dawn/Lucas from D/P/Pt? Or, will they play a bigger role?

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf on Friday reiterating the commitment of the government to hold fair, free and impartial elections and said only democratic system of government could ensure progress and prosperity in the country and provide strength to all institutions.
Addressing a function here at BISP auditorium to distribute financial assistance to the deserving people, the Prime Minister said, PPP being a national party believes in the power of masses and always came to power through power of vote.
The Prime Minister said, "Holding fair, free and impartial elections is the only aim of the government for which the government has been taking all possible steps and the appointment of unanimously acceptable Chief Election Commissioner is a first step in this direction."
Raja Pervez Ashraf said the country's destiny and future directly linked to democracy.
He said that directly elected representatives by the people, through a fair, free and impartial process of election could strengthen the democratic process and the institutions of the country.
He said the country is heading towards fresh general elections and Chief Election Commissioner has been appointed in this regard while other measures are being taken as individuals do not matter and the only source of power and strength in the democratic system is the voice of the masses.
The Prime Minister said governments are not to stay for ever but the country will stay for ever as it belongs to all the Pakistanis and its right of every Pakistani that he will participate freely in the politics.
He said the politicians should present themselves to the court of masses and the masses have the final authority to elect any one who then will have the power to rule the country and there should be no confusion at any level in this regard.
The Prime Minister expressed the firm resolve of the government to hold fair, free and impartial elections as the government has firm believe that decision to elect the future rulers should be done by the registered voters of the country and there should be no ambiguity in this regard.
He said, "We are not against any one and will go to the court of the masses to seek fresh mandate".
