Walt would not allow the BSA to discriminate against people. Disney has long been at the forefront of offering equal benefits to the LGBT community.Ask yourself: why is it OK to have a boy in scouting that is gay but as soon as he turns 18 he has to leave the organization and can't serve as a leader?

@ Sneaky Jimmy - Bay Area, CA "Walt would not allow the BSA to discriminate
against people. Disney has long been at the forefront of offering equal benefits
to the LGBT community.Ask yourself: why is it OK to have a boy in scouting that
is gay but as soon as he turns 18 he has to leave the organization and
can't serve as a leader?"
Answer: because while a fellow Scout is only a peer, and NOT in a position of direct authority and influence, a Scout leader IS in a position of direct authority and influence. That is a night and day difference and therefore an easy answer. YOU may not think it matters whether someone is a "peer" or a "leader" but other people think it matters. I'm one who thinks it matters very much.
Next question....

@Sneaky Jimmy
Come on Jimmy, you should know this. When they boy turns 18, in the eyes of the law he is in a position of power and authority over the other boys. How many cases of pedophilia and sex abuse have we heard about where someone is using a position of authority to groom and then abuse?
It's OK to disagree with BSA on this topic, but my advice is to come up with a better argument.

Simple question. Would it be appropriate for an adult woman who is 20 years old, or any age really - who is attracted to men - to go camping and on other activities with 17 year old young men or any teenage young men? Is it appropriate for a 20 year old man, or any age really - who is attracted to women - to go camping with 17 year old women? Is it appropriate for an adult man of any age - who is attracted to men - to go camping with young teenage boys? The answer seems utterly obvious. I would never allow my teenage daughters to be in situations that are common in scouting with an adult man. No amount of rules and regulations within scouting can keep an adult man and a young man who are attracted to each other out of a bad situation. Scout leaders end up alone, one on one, with youth, all the time, even though it is not supposed to happen. A couple of minutes is all one needs for sexual assault to happen. It happens in schools as evidenced by recent headlines. Allowing gay men as leaders in the scouting organization is a bad idea.

It's already been said quite clearly; there is a very real danger to having knowingly or openly gay scout leaders. I can't look through the news on any given day without some story of sexual assault on the part of a teacher, a supervisor, a priest(people love to look really hard and dig these ones out), or anyone else; it is not in anyone's best interest to force the Boy Scouts to admit gay leaders.

We need to give this a rest already. I can't speak to what walt disney would approve of; people disapproved and approved of a lot of stuff in the fifties that have since changed. And maybe we need to start having some honest, open and meaningful discussions about sex. Now let's all get back to work.

@Conservative Scientist:
And what do you think would happen during that one on one time? I can guarantee that 99% of gay men think of young men about the same way straight men think about young women. And aren't men invited to Young Womens camping trips? I know that was the norm when I was growing up. Shouldn't we be worried about that? You know, just in case?

BSA is being used as a pawn by the far left. Sad to see this once great org die but anything wholesome in America is bound to die anymore with the ugly PC culture that exists. It's the boys that lose out.

To Utefan4Lyf,
I grew up in Southern California and we NEVER had boys with us when we went to camp or went camping as Young Women. As to Walt Disney, I can't believe he would even slightly approve of what Disney is doing. Totally out of character. If the Boy Scouts are destroyed because of the current push towards Gay Leaders, the LDS Church will just come up with our itsogram. I bet they're even working on one now.

Allowing gay boys to benefit from the scouting experience was the right thing to
Not allowing gay leaders is also the right thing to do. They would be tempted. Where there is temptation, some would succumb to temptation. Past news stories with scouts and other organizations proves this to be the case.

@cjb - Are you honestly suggesting that gay men more easily succumb to temptation? I sincerely doubt that one's gender attraction preference has any impact on ones ability to control their temptations.

Walt died in 1966. How can anyone say what he would have done. Now I have
added Disney to my boycott list. I also don't wear Levi's or Levi
Strauss products due to them making the same type of decision regarding the Boy
Scouts as Disney did. No more Disneyland or Disney movies for me.

Storage & Cleanup
Storage space in the shops is extremely limited and we are not able to store student projects. However, there is a hallway Student Materials Storage rack that facilitates material reuse by diverting usable materials from the landfill and providing them to others as free scrap.
The shops also provide storage for students' flammable materials (spray paint, resins, Bondo, solvents, etc.), which is the flame-resistant yellow cabinet marked "flammable" in the Spray Booth.
Two other permissible storage scenarios exist: projects that are either freshly glued or painted.
With a manager's permission, students may leave their projects clamped in the shop while the glue sets, provided the work is labeled (student name, date, phone/email, and time of glue-up).
Students may also leave their projects in the black cubbies in the Vapor Room. Work may be left to dry, cure, or off-gas here for up to 48 hours.
The Vapor Room is cleaned every Friday, so any work left longer than 48 hours is immediately thrown away.
Storage Rules
- Students are expected to label all stored materials with their name, date, and phone or email, or both.
- All materials left in this storage area beyond the last day of the semester automatically become the property of the SF Shops.
- No other storage of materials or projects is allowed. Do not store anything in the hallway.
Cleanup Procedures
A clean shop is a safe shop. Please help studio staff by leaving your work area cleaner than you found it. It is unacceptable to leave messes behind that others must clean up.
Failure to adequately clean up will result in disciplinary action and loss of shop access.
Cleanup time is generally announced one half hour to 15 minutes prior to when the shop closes, depending on the condition of the shop. (Note: No additional cuts are allowed once the cleanup announcement is made.)
Plan accordingly. It is considered bad form to quickly leave without cleaning up once the clean up announcement is made. Such behavior is noticed and documented.
When your class is held in the shop, please plan to spend the last 15 minutes of class (at least) cleaning up the shop as a group.
San Francisco Studios
CCA's San Francisco studios are a collection of shared resources that support all SF-based departments. Access is available to all current students and faculty upon attending the individual facility's policy and safety orientations.

Fans of Southern Charm are going to want to watch Bravo just a little bit longer on Monday night to find out some big news. On Monday Thomas Ravenel teased a big announcement on social media and everyone who loves the show (and Thomas) might want to see what he has to say as a guest of Watch What Happens Live. According to Bustle on Monday, Andy Cohen is offering up a platform for the fans to hear the exciting news.
So what could be so exciting? Well, Thomas Ravenel is being secretive, but the fans watching the show have a pulse on a couple of his focuses. One is politics. The reality star has been contemplating the political ring again and he has brought it up on the show several times.
Another is romance. Thomas Ravenel is always on the pursuit for love. Can't blame a guy for trying and maybe he has found the perfect partner. It would be his dream come true, but it might be a little boring for the fans watching the show.
Or there might be another source of big news, directly unrelated to the themes seen on the show. Of course, fans really want to know, but will have to wait to find out. Hopefully it isn't bad news, but more of a focus on good news he wants to share with the viewers.

Pythagoras, Galileo, Bach, and Newton all tried to create a "perfect" musical harmony. Now, the story of their efforts will be told and heard in Appassionato: A Mathematical History of the Piano.
According to an article in Melodika, "The feature length documentary is an ode to pianos, music, math; and, the leaders of art and thought who dared to challenge notions of what is possible in our world."
The film features original interviews with contemporary mathematicians and musicians from UCLA, USC, Yale, Princeton, and MIT.
The documentary is a Kickstarter Project and is looking for additional funding to complete production. Click here for a preview.
In an interview on The Kickstarter Blog, Appassionato creator Michael LaPointe discussed the influences behind the film and the overall connection between art and science.
"As a society, I think we are slowly realizing there is no division between art and science, or music and math specifically," said LaPointe." You need math to adjust the right amount of tension on the piano strings to make a sound; but also, if we think of mathematics as being black and white, then we would have never come up with the modern-day mathematical concepts we have today, such as Game Theory."

Sojourn is a book I have wanted to produce for a long while in so much as it captures but a brief glimpse into some of the traveling which I have done over the last few years. I have often been asked upon the return to show my family and others the images which were taken during each visit. Here are a few photographs that I hope you will enjoy as much as I enjoyed taking them.
I had a deep love for photography back in the late fifties, but never had an opportunity to develop it until early in 2002. Because of other commitments it was placed on the back burner. Now I am in the process of rekindling it around Photoshop and other software tools as well as vast array of digital photographic equipment. I have explored landscape and candid/street photography as I have traveled throughout the United States as well as Europe and Africa.

Simon Rose plays baritone and alto saxophones. Born in London, England, he has performed in Europe, Canada and USA. As well as collaborating with those who play traditional instruments, Rose performs with musicians who employ self-designed instruments and electronics. He is also interested in collaborations beyond music, for example with dance. Performing solo is an ongoing project: 'Procession,' solo alto and 'Schmetterling,' solo baritone. Music recordings can be found on the labels: Emanem, Leo, PSI, Bruce's Fingers, Not Two, Rayon and PFMentum.
His research interest is in the creative process of improvisation, in which he has completed three studies. Following an MA at Middlesex University, 2008, he gained his doctorate in 2013 at Glasgow Caledonian University. For several decades he taught drama and music in London, this included working with permanently excluded and special educational needs students. Studying drama at Dartington College of Arts, with subsequent teacher training, Exeter University, his early career was in theater-in-education and fringe theatre: devising and touring schools, prisons, hospitals and small-scale venues. He is currently completing a book for Intellectbooks, UK concerning the agency of improvisation. Other publications include book chapters: 'Free improvisation in education,' in Investigating Musical Performance (Ashgate, 2012); 'Improvisation as real-time composition' in The act of musical composition (Ashgate, 2014), and 'The Process of Improvisation' in Organising and Music (Cambridge, 2014).

The second set was Simon Rose's solo on both baritone and alto… recently represented in a beautifully recorded solo album on baritone: 'Schmetterling.'… Rose gifted the audience with a beautiful performance, full of nuances, circular breathing and soemthong like a theatrical attitude, but very near the essence and far from rhetoric. Gian Paolo Galasi
Rose uses the properties of his 1932 Conn baritone saxophone for parallel tone experimentation. Cannily he not only takes advantage of the mammoth horn's expected blurry and subterranean brays, but also highlights the glottal multiphonics that result from playing widespread passages altissimo. Among the sounds swelling up and diminishing from his horn are a volley of percussive tongue slaps strident enough to resemble gunfire…. a faint Arabic insinuation creeps into Rose's playing on "Crater Lake", especially in his choice of substitute notes. Tessitura slurs are more prominent elsewhere, as powerful thrusts against metal create multi-phonic cries at higher and lower pitches. Rose's flutter tonguing also doubles and triples as he stutters and sequences note patterns which arise and disappear in split seconds. Expressed in broken octaves, a tune such as the title track may include bagpipe-chanter-like swells… which remain chromatic despite juddering slurs and contracted tongue slaps. Tracks like "Eel Feeler" in contrast bulge with crunching growls and stentorian reverberations that confirm the horn's lower-depth power. Still, all and all, the aleatoric "Boxhagener" is most illustrative of Rose's strategy which echoes both Free Jazz and Free Music. An almost-earth-shaking interlude, propelled with inflated circular-breathed timbres, it appears as if the horn's outside finish is being stripped to toughen the already bottomless snorts.

Simon Rose - Schmetterling (Not Two, 2011) ****½
British saxophonist Simon Rose had already released a solo alto album, yet now he takes on a similar project with the baritone, and with stunning results. From the beginning till the end, this is an extremely captivating performance, entirely improvised, but with a rare emotional power. If the first track gives a kind introduction into the concept, the second piece starts with a phenomenal cry that will resonate till the end of the album. Rose explores every emotional aspect of the sound he can get out of his instrument, extremely raw, but then delivered in a slow, inevitable way. There is no urgency at all. Just the endless wails of despair, of anger, of sadness, or if you wish even deep resonance with the universe. The depth, the heaviness of the sound, the multiphonics and circular breathing, the vibrations, the bending of tones, all contribute to giving a kind of natural primeval quality.
This is a great free music record, it sounds as experimental and furious as those than of the FMP / INCUS / RING era… but terrifically modern! … The first time the record is over, you just want more. With enjoyment… This is a best kind of improvised music, either you're more into its global soundscaping or its very musical quality along the many blazing improvisations that have been recorded from this Berlin show. Simon Rose gets angrier while he makes his baritone bark (or trumpet) to some kind of gritty basses. Circular breathing is used to transform the sound or slide from one harmonic to another, with a great feeling for details and the ability to whistle at the edge of silence or for a contrasting loud outbreak. His partner has the solid imagination required to make his machine talk. The perfect independence of these two improvisators and their ability to play in such different genres and coordinate their efforts stimulates any listening (both normal listeners and musicians), and push the two artists to take off towards a permanently unsatisfied research. They literally do the splits in their inspiration but always gather on magical and unexpected convergences. This is a very remarkable duet. Many famous people playing so-called "free" improvised music don't perform any better and sound any more interesting. Therefore, if you enjoy real free improvised music, with no additive, go and get this wonderful FAUNA and its authors. PS: Please do have a look on Rose's Schmetterling, where he plays solo on baritone (Not Two) and Procession, on alto sax (FMR), who are two major records.

Journal d'écoute / Listening Diary
The multi-faceted "Felt" gives you a glimpse into a sonic world you never knew existed – somewhere between cave-days and the deepest, darkest jungles of today, inhabited by strange creatures you'll never find in a zoo. I'll tell you right up front, though, if you're an "MOR" (middle of the road) listener, you'll never make it out of the forest! That's especially true when tunes like my favorite of the 8 on the CD, "Zwischenfall" are trippin' you out… leave the acid in the closet – you won't need it! I give this duo a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for those into the "far out" spectrum of music, with an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 5.00 – which, of course, means that they also get the "PICK" of this issue for "best strange music".
Rotcod Zzaj
Extended saxophone technique is just another term for deep space exploration and indeed, saxophonist Simon Rose is a musical cosmonaut. As a space traveler, he has released a couple of solitary saxophone expeditions on alto Procession (FMR, 2007) and a stunning baritone recording Schmetterling (Not Two, 2011). He provides a diverse and intriguing menu of tone manipulation, multiphonics and circular breathing. With Fauna he shares the voyage with sound artist Paul Stapleton and his bonsai sound sculpture. Described as a portable modular musical instrument that combines a repurposed turntable, electronics, amplified metallic percussion and strings, the BoSS is part Blade Runner and part Plan 9 From Outer Space. Like Rose's serpentine routs, Stapleton's BoSS is a spluttering, droning, pitch-altering generator that is as otherworldly as Simon's baritone. The pairs' improvisations could be the migratory songs of android whales or the piezoelectric abrasions that develop inside an old timepiece. Without the visuals, the sounds constructed are chimeric fantasies.
Mark Corroto All About Jazz October 2013
Very fine collaboration between sax player Simon Rose and Paul Stapleton, who makes and plays bonsai sound sculptures. Nice blend of ideas and sonics between alto/baritone sax and metal percussion. Rich and thoughtful playing.
Fauna is a wonderful mixture of two disparate instruments, self-compelled to find a bond… the fervent, alien textures created from a reed and a box of tricks are ear-prickingly inviting. For the opener, "Borealis", the duo comes out swinging with Rose's staccato hiccups and Stapleton actively rattling his machine (think prepared piano sounds). They swap melodies, ranges, attitudes and occasionally bisect points of interdependence with Rose carrying the last few minutes in a rapid, vibrating, pulsing murmur. On "Felt", Stapleton demonstrates his ability to deconstruct the notion of turntablism which he takes from mere abstract scratching to mechanical purrs to mouse song to dog whistle to electrical misfires; Rose is patient, fading a warbling ostinato in and out of tempi and dynamic swells. The duo is deft at keeping a tense bubble of intrigue on "Deep" and "Zwischenfall", where space and pause are incorporated to enjoy the whisper and spittle, resonance of bells and strings and rumble of thumps. Stapleton and Rose blend these techniques, incongruous colors and shapes throughout the disc, eventually closing out the finale, "Vertreiben", with a bulbous, static drone cloud. Stapleton and Rose successfully smooth out the seams and stiches of this Frankenstein with a sensitivity to their craft and each other while exploring an uncharted android aesthetic. One thinks about musical inventor Harry Partch who tried to find an almost more refined musical dialect, or replace Latin with Sanskrit as a baseline for his and his client's endeavors; however — and no insult to Partch — whereas he sought an extension, this duo looks for what's on the other side.

… British alto and baritone saxophonist Simon Rose, who also excels in solo playing, sticks very much to an acoustic foundation on Fauna. His partner here is Belfast-based Californian Paul Stapleton… The most traditionally satisfying of the discs here is 'Fauna'… Although episodes of staccato flanges, ring modulator-like thwacks and pulsating vibrations are heard throughout, the sound artist's most common forefront properties are aviary like chirps, jittery buzzes and string resonation…
Stimulating and outstanding is "Shift" which is built around the contrast between stentorian saxophone growls and delicate resonations from the BoSS. Here Stapleton's interface is shaped into string-like strums and cascades as Rose exactingly constructs his tonal expansion from irregular pressures, vibrations and squeaks, culminating in a bubbling, circular-breathed exercise. Other pieces like "Felt" finds the BoSS' premeditated shakes and vibrations causing Rose to turn to circular breathing and reed sucks, while "Zeiteinheit" concludes as a slow-moving exercise in basement tones as the saxophonist deepens his output from slurps and tongue-stops to shaking snorts in response to equally compelling aviary-like shrills from Stapleton…
Ken Waxman Jazzword 23 March 2014
Baritone and alto saxophonist Simon Rose and pianist Stefan Schultze met in 2013 in Berlin, and even if the first came from the free improv scene and the second from a more standard jazz background, their collaboration on this album makes you wonder about these different perspectives because it all sounds so seamless and integrated. On eleven improvisations these two musicians find a wonderful balance between ferocious destruction and sensitive construction, starting with their instruments, as the piano is prepared with all kinds of plastic sticks and bags, and Rose is a real fan of circular breathing, rhythmic tongue slapping, and other harder to define techniques, yet at the same time, and despite the obvious harshness, the music strikes a deep emotional chord, like a cry full of agony and pain, with vulnerability and even tenderness and intimacy. And that may explain the title, as "The Ten Thousand Things" is a Buddhist expression of all the things that make up our world, and their musical reflection gives us this: a myriad of sounds and interactions that make us feel these 'ten thousand things', with all their qualities, and complexities and simplicities and gentleness, and so much more.
What I love about the album is that the two artists have a
strong common vision and they go for it, all the way. There's
nothing half-hearted here, or no compromising, no crowd-pleasing
treats, but only authentic and creative expressivity, like life
itself, hard and real like life itself.
It is one of those albums which take you over completely, and because of its emotional power, it has been a soothing album for me, and listening to it dozens and dozens of times, the raw sensitivity of the baritone, the bell-like sounds of the piano, the physical intimacy, the sometimes violent percussiveness, matched the emotional need of your humble servant, at moments when he felt he wanted to smash the things around him while at the same time needing some consolation and sympathetic sentiments. Apologies for the subjectivity, but there is no other way to approach this music: you love or you hate it. This guy loves it.

… Simon Rose and Stefan Schultze come across less like mad scientists and more like dedicated epistemologists … and like the Lone Ranger and Tonto riding in tandem, for every extended technique exposed by Rose, from tongue slapping to atonal smears, Schultze has an approapriate response or goad, plucking, stopping, pushing and sliding along his strings, and with implemets such as bowls, bells and mashers vibrating atop them… Rose's split tones allow him to play reed strategies that are simultaneously mellow and rickety or skyscraper high and copper mine low at the same time; while Schultze's strategies create equivalent concurrent textures inside and outside the piano. Leviathan Blues is a fine demonstration of this. The pianist's stretching the strings while percussively key slapping creates a rhythmic backbeat which expands to meet the saxophonist's theme variations that likewise widen and become more dissonant as Rose plays. Altissimo reed agitation brings out equivalent kinetic key pummeling, until a simple pedal-push counter-theme calms the woodwind cyclone enough to move Rose to singular honks that finally meld with solidifying key vibrations. By the time the last note sounds at the end of this CD's 11th and final track, if the two haven't exposed the sound textures from 10,000 things they've certainly come close to doing so.
Ken Waxman Whole Note 2016
A great duo. Very happy that an artist as original as persistent and saxophonist Simon Rose sees his excellent effort in the company of "preparer" pianist Stefan Schultze and published by the celebrated Québecois label Red Toucan, whose catalogue of important musicians includes: Leander, Parker, Liebman, Golia, Brötzmann, SH Fell … Simon Rose has developed a truly remarkable personal journey into the saxophone world improvised Evan Parker, Coxhill, Mitchell, Mc Phee, Leimgruber, Brötzmann, Gustafsson …. The work of the pianist is also outstanding, powerful and expressive despite desired sobriety and avoiding discursive digitality. The piano is transformed into a sound machine via secret agreements and selected intervals… One of the finest albums of improvised music from the past few decades, - lyrical, uncompromising, communicative, sincere and emotional.
Jan-Michel Van Schouwburg https://sites.google.com/site/improjazzmag/home
'There are solo saxophone records, and then, there are the solo saxophone records that transform the instrument into an orchestra; effect is superseded, or rather transmogrified, moving away from virtuosic display and becoming an essential part of the instrumental language.
'Procession' is one of the finest statements from the saxophone I have ever had the pleasure to experience. Over three extended pieces, recorded in concert, Simon Rose proves himself a student history, but not a slave to it. Each piece is encyclopaedic and grandiose without pretence, as witnessed in the opening of the aptly named 'Ground Effect'. Ayleresque vibrancy, honks and controlled shrieks are tempered by multiphonics akin to those of more recent John Butcher ventures, the overtones finally pervading the texture, themselves forming shards of sub melody. Beyond all that I never knew a D-flat could contain so many colours, returning at the end of the piece with new clarity.
'Still' begins on exactly the opposite side of the sonic spectrum, short sharp cascades of notes precipitated by hollow clicks, giving way to subtle streams of liquefied air. The mushy trills of 'Wind Conditions' exemplify just how much can be contained in a small interval, whether in pitch or timbral space. Rose darts between these universes with ease and consummate skill.
However, none of these descriptors can ever even approximate each journey, free but absolutely logical, the best blend spontaneity and improvisation imaginable. Rose seems to be able to turn on the creativity without any warm up, if indeed these recordings represent complete sets of music. The recordings retain the ambiance of the respected venues, complete with applause from fairly small but appreciative audiences.
A follow up disc would be appreciated, but asking for one almost feels like looking the proverbial gift horse in the mouth.'
Marc Medwin, CADENCE, September 2007
'Outstanding in its level of sustained excitement, the group combine assured musicianship and adventurous temperament, their decisive execution coupled with a wholehearted dedication to improvised music's intrinsic precariousness. An energetic kit player, Noble also sounds metallic percussion with great sensitivity. Fell is a powerful generative presence and a source of subtle enhancements. Rose wails with ferocity or teases away at convoluted lines that have an almost folky feel. Together they convey a sense of a creative process unfolding into genuinely dramatic music. A gripping release from start to finish.'
Julian Cowley, THE WIRE, 2006
'The first two pieces are studies in controlled refinement. Pinpoint percussion, looping alto lines shaded with burred overtones, and scumbled arco are pushed to a simmer; ready to boil over at any minute, yet held right at that edge. The trio toys with conventions of the sax, bass, drums format as, for instance, the patterns of Rose's circularly breathed lines propel the music along rather than drums or bass. On the two-part title piece The Society of Spectacle, the surging Mia, or the searing intensity of the closing Reeds in the Western World, the three drive the improvisations along with arresting sheets of energy. Noble is in his element, prodding at the flow of the pieces, whether diving in with a well placed snap or crash or thundering along with an elastic sense of momentum. Fell seems to revel in this setting where, like his trios with drummer Paul Hession, he gets to flex within the context of explosive group playing. Even here, though, his keen ear toward careful placement and balance of timbres and density comes through. Rose's playing comes off particularly well. Here is a player who has absorbed the extended reed techniques of free improvisation, and channeled those rippling waves into a focused approach to phrasing and pacing that never falls in to showcasing or bluster.'
Michael Rosenstein, SIGNAL TO NOISE, 2006
'The trio's newest offering is concentrated and expansive, tipping the nod to multiple influences with a series of microhistorical moments that still exude unified individuality. No proof is necessary beyond the opening moments of Part One of the title track, sequenced, Boulez style, after Part Two. The 'classical' connection is appropriate, as the patterns with which percussionist Steve Noble opens the proceedings are focused, loosely proportional and juxtaposed with authoritative silences in the manner of Varese or even of Zappa; a vague Orientalism deepens the illusory mystique of early 20th century panglobalism. A reflective silence ensues, only to be shattered, irreparably, by a jump-cut into some uhr-swing, implied but never completed by a quasi-rhetorical pattern on ride; bassist Simon Fell doesn't exactly walk, but his rhythmic spikes belie deep listening and the half-homage of improvisational camaraderie. Simon Rose breathes Ayleresque fire through a saxophone soaked, but not drowning, in vibrato and collective musical recollection. The slow build to fury is one of the things for which Badland has been justly praised, and Part Two of the title track rumbles and rises to a brilliant frenzy. More than anything though, SOCIETY OF THE SPECTACLE exudes luminous silence, huge vistas of space through which structures appear and submerge. Reeds in the Western World, a stunning vehicle for Rose, begins with such vast plains of no-sound. Rose is panned to the right, so that even when his Coltranesque utterances begin to shrill, blat and growl, silence hovers expectantly in the wings, only to be completely dispelled when Fell and Noble kick in, jazz style, at the zenith of Rose's solo. This disc is the most satisfying Badland offering so far, both for the excellence and commitment in the playing and for the freshness with which each moment moves to the next. Sixty-six minutes flew by, and I'm eagerly awaiting more entries in this trio's brief discography.'
Marc Medwin, DUSTED MAGAZINE, 2006
'Splendidly moody, often quite aggressive stuff from a trio whose work seems to have undergone several stages of fermentation to arrive at this highly concentrated and heavily fortified result. This is improvised music at its most tensile, with the emphasis being on music (rather than sonic art or degenerate sound effects) as much as on improvisation; Rose's booklet notes imply a frame of reference which incorporates both free jazz and free-but-not-jazz, and he's damn right. Quite apart from that, I'm always in favour of anyone who sticks up for the improvisational usefulness of the sniping, whinging alto sax as opposed to its nearest relatives. I also like strident, close-captured arco bass and percussion which is played rather than flailed at. All in all, then, I'm doing well here. As a free player Noble is possibly the only drummer of his generation to underpin his exploratory approach with the kind of fearsome chopsiness I associate with Tony Oxley; indeed, if asked to chuck in my two penn'orth I'd say he falls back on controlled technical precision rather too often for my taste, but his reasons for doing what he does are probably better than any reason I might have for suggesting otherwise. To be bought at once, then played loudly and very often.'
Roger Thomas, JAZZ REVIEW, 2006
'Powerful and twisted as he may be (he really knows how to bend notes out of shape), Rose can display an uncanny sensitivity, not unlike Paul Dunmall. Simon H. Fell's playing always seems to have two or three agendas; even the most instinctive bass lines hide alternate trains of thoughts that will surface later. Steve Noble's drumming is intense and multifaceted, an attention grabber from start to finish. Highlights include the short pieces Kittiwake and Elka, the raging Mia and the concluding Reeds in the Western World, featuring a gripping sax solo and a development that takes us very close to the American Free Jazz tradition.'
Francois Couture, ALL MUSIC GUIDE, 2005
'Axis of Cavity' is their second release and eight years on, the three have dug into the sax/bass/drums free jazz setting and carved out their own take. Though they can roar along with full bore authority, there is far more at play here. The three morph the usual notion of horn against rhythm section into a setting for shifting fields of sonic events that still manage to careen along with rolling momentum. Rose tears into the improvisations with a quavering, molten tone, spraying sheets of notes punctuated with keening cries and hoarse, blasting overtones. But he can also lay out breathy, spluttering, percussive flurries during sections of sonic abstractions. Noble continues to prove himself to be one of the more inventive drummers on the improv. scene….. Here his drumming rumbles with peals of thunder and then breaks apart into pinpoint cracks and slashing punctuation. Fell's bass playing is masterful, whether goading things along with vigorous, walking lines, churning out agitated lines of arco, or scraping scrubbed, free situations…
Each of the nine spontaneous improvisations is a compact study in the balance of brazen intensity and nuanced detail.'
Michael Rosenstein, SIGNAL TO NOISE
'What's most impressive on the album, perhaps, is how much musical range is packed into each track, and how different and eventful they all seem: some contain quiet passages examining a particular sonic texture at length (for instance, the first half of "The Scapula Angles", where Rose's saxophone flutters over the oozing drums and bass); some are sprightly, rapid-fire free-jazz ("Spinous Process"); there's even one track ("Bow, Stick and Reed") which if it were unkinked a bit further would sound positively mainstream…A similar process of encompassing musical extremes is also audible in miniature within each track: this is most obvious on the CD's one extended track, "Surface for Talice," which ranges from quiet insect-music improv to an exhilirating climax on which Rose plays with acetylene-torch heat.'
Nate Dorward, CODA
'Altoist Rose is the dominant voice. He has some of the English reserve which John Butcher specialises in, but he hasn't totally eliminated the melodic fervour and gospel excess of the black American free players. However what he plays is no forced compromise: he has his own rather dignified sound. The music is linear and fluid, with Fell and Noble suggesting sonics and textures which provide alternative environments for Rose's central voice. Some of Noble's clattering inventions and Fell's spuming 'walking bass' are priceless. Extraordinary how clean and sober jazz can become and still remain, essentially, jazz. Special. A:1'
Ben Watson, HI-FI NEWS, December 2002
'These British improvisers move forward with the intentions, audacity and forcefulness of a high powered rock trio, as they demonstrate a proclivity to mimic each others movements while exploring various angles amid blustery choruses and gushing crescendo…what sets this outing apart…resides within the bands subliminal rhythmic structures…bassist Simon Fell and drummer Steve Noble provide reverberating, at times oscillating undercurrent for the saxophonists macrobiotic tone poems and abstract discourses. Needless to say this band is having a blast - and it shows. They convey a profusion of thought-provoking sentiments to coincide with a brooding methodology that signifies an air of elusiveness in concert with a distinct sense of the dynamic. Overall, this 2002 release has quite a bit to offer, especially for those who think they've heard it all.'
Glenn Astarita, ALL MUSIC GUIDE
They can strut and burn, then shift to contemplative mood; line up small gestures then roll at full tilt; lock smoothly and glide, or grate and spark. Despite their menacing name, a lot of fine grained interplay and skilful dovetailing goes into the careful collective shaping of 'badland's' music.'
Julian Cowley, THE WIRE, August 2002
The music fair blisters along, all three participants being on pretty fearsome form, and when you've heard it, it stays heard…Groups like this are about interaction, the on-going group dynamic. Badland keeps everything together but on the edge.
Barry Witherden, JAZZ REVIEW, Editor's CD of the month September 2002
Put this alongside the most important trios in the jazz and improvising saxophone tradition.'
Francesco Martinelli, IMPROJAZZ
'Vivid free bop from a highly accomplished trio who venture gamely out into new and lawless territory, bringing new ideas and a freshness of diction to this challenging idiom'.
The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD
Realised with a spiritual intensity that could liquefy steel, Badland destroys every one of commercial music's delusions.'
Hannes Schweiger, JAZZ LIVE
'Badland can engage in delicate spontaneous interplay or volcanic eruption, often in the course of one short piece. Hear Mark Sanders' great command of percussive pulsed and unpulsed options, bassist Simon H. Fell's impressive extended techniques, and Simon Rose's versatile soprano and alto sax. Hyena's Finger rises instantly from near-silence to fever pitch. The band tackles tuneage too – there's a meaty reading of Duke Ellington's 'Come Sunday' and two versions of Ornette Coleman's ''Sadness'.
Jon Corbett, DOWNBEAT
'Sanders, Fell and Rose comprise a free improvising trio as forceful as anyone's liable to come across.'
Chris Kelsey, CADENCE
A full blooded sax / bass / drums trio perched on the cusp of free jazz and improv.'
Chris Blackford, THE WIRE
'It is the sheer range of this album that marks it out, from full throttle blowing through quiet lyricism to abstract soundscapes. The last two are neatly combined in what for me the pivotal track – a superb and surprising rendition of Ellington's 'Come Sunday'.'

For Thuy Ho, it was more than just things that didn't fit in a suitcase; she had to leave behind her medical license. In her native Vietnam, Ho had earned a medical degree and had years of experience as an internist, but did not qualify to continue practicing medicine in the United States. Undaunted by the task of starting over, she enrolled in Union College's Physician Assistant Studies Program. Now in her second year of the graduate degree, Ho has qualified for the National Health Services Corps Scholarship, a highly competitive and prestigious full-ride scholarship for physician assistants willing to practice medicine in less prestigious locales. Life in Vietnam Raised in postwar Vietnam by Catholic parents, Ho decided to pursue a medical career early in life. "My father was a pharmacist," she smiled. "He encouraged me to be a physician so I could help them by opening a clinic nearby."

The 2014 Winter Olympics Men's hockey live stream and TV schedule continues this Sunday and here in the US fans are catching Olympic Hockey fever! After a thrilling 3-2 win vs. host Russia, Team USA looks to start 3-0 when they take on Slovenia Sunday morning.
According to Bleacher Report on Feb. 15, Team USA is celebrating a great win over the Russians, but they know their work is far from over, and they can't take Slovenia lightly. Slovenia is coming off of their first taste of a hockey victory and would like nothing more than to beat the highly favored American squad.
Slovenia's 3-1 win against Slovakia may not have made major headlines like the US win over the Russian team, but the 18th ranked team in the world of hockey is okay with that. Making its first Olympic appearance in the men's tournament Slovenia could make a name for itself with an upset over the US, and right now they are beaming with confidence.
"This is like a gold medal for us," said Slovenia forward Bostjan Golicic.
"It's definitely a big thing for Slovenia hockey and now that we beat Slovakia, maybe people will not mix us up any more," said Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar, the only NHL player on the Slovenia roster.
The Olympics are a funny thing. Teams that get some momentum, especially teams that aren't supposed to do well, can be the toughest opponents of all.
Vegas odds makers have the US as the favorite in this game at -2, with the over/under set at 6.5.
The puck will once again drop early here in the US for tomorrow's game between Team USA and Slovenia. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:30 a.m. EST and can be seen live on NBC Sports Network and live online at NBC Sports Extra.
Here is a look at the complete Men's hockey schedule for Feb 16.
Austria vs. Norway (USA, 3:00 a.m. ET)
Russia vs. Slovakia (USA, 7:30 a.m. ET)
Slovenia vs. United States (NBCSN, 7:30 a.m. ET)
Finland vs. Canada (USA, noon ET)
