By Steve Beauregard – Central City, a charming old mining town located just 30 minutes from Denver, has six casinos. These range from small Mom and Pop dives with little more than slots, to totally remodeled upscale (for Colorado) hotel/casinos offering a variety of different machines, table games, poker, nice restaurants, and lounges with live entertainment.
If having just six casinos seems small, that's because it is, and less than what most of us thought would be a booming gambling town.
Originally Central City was going to be the main hub for gambling in Colorado. When Colorado voters passed a ballot initiative in November of 1990 to allow small stakes gambling in three small mountain towns, Central City, Black Hawk, and Cripple Creek, it was assumed that the largest, most historic, most well-known town, Central City, would be the dominate leader in the state.
And it was – for awhile.
Founded during the booming Pike's Peak gold boom in 1859, Central City was once home to 10,000 residents. In addition to its beautiful, popular opera house, charming main street, and decades of history, it was in the running to be the new state's capital. Everything was in place for Central City to take its rightful place as the Las Vegas of Colorado.
The problem was, to get to Central City, you first had to drive through Black Hawk. The only road headed up to the area was the always crowded, two lane Colorado State Highway 119, which slowly snaked its way up the hill, and was often backed up, due to shuttle buses carrying day gamblers from Denver, or casino employees.
Once in the Black Hawk/Central City area, degenerate gamblers like me, who had just survived a boring 40 minute drive up Hwy 119, were anxious to get their gamble on. Thus, me and my fellow gamblers usually stopped at the first place we could. Back then, it was Colorado Central Station Casino (now the Lady Luck). Although Central City was just 2 miles up the hill, to an anxious gambler itching for the chance to play, that 2 miles may as well be 2 hours.
Black Hawk also didn't have the building height restrictions in place that Central City had, meaning developers were free to take advantage of smaller pieces of land and build upward, making available more casino space, and hotel rooms, and hence, making an investment in Black Hawk more profitable.
All in all, many of the casinos in Black Hawk were built and designed from scratch, intended to resemble more to what you may be familiar with in Las Vegas. Central City casinos, on the other hand, just remodeled the tiny space in the old historic buildings.
Whereas town officials in Central City wanted to heed the intent of Colorado voters, by preserving the historic nature of the mining town, in Black Hawk, all bets were off (so to speak).
The contrast in building attitudes and historic preservation efforts eventually lead to some hard feelings between the two communities. Bad blood between Central City and Black Hawk has gotten to the point where the long-running free shuttle between towns no longer goes to Central City. More significantly, the multi-million dollar Central City Parkway was built.
This four lane highway off of Interstate 70 was Central City's return shot, after having watched it's smaller, less prestigious little brother down the road hog all the Colorado gambling glory. The expensive new road shaved a lot of time it took for drivers from Denver, to get to the Central City/Black Hawk area. It seems safer to boot, although the area is notorious for being a speed trap. (At times the 30 mile per hour speed limit for this 4 lane road feels like you're crawling).
So while preservation buffs may decry to monstrous casinos arising in Black Hawk, and feel it goes against the voters' wishes to keep alive the old time mining spirit and charm of these two neighboring gambling towns, the gambling market has spoken. Black Hawk has 17 casinos versus Central City's 6 casinos, listed here below:
Century Casino
Dostal Alley
Easy Street Casino
Famous Bonanza
Johnny Z's Casino
Reserve Hotel and Casino
There were eight casinos, however on June 13, 2013, the general manager of Doc Holliday's Casino announced that the casino would be closed immediately. On December 31st, 2013, Crystal Palace Casino had its last day of operation.
Like Doc Holliday's, most of the casinos are on Central City's Main Street. This street looks something right out of an old west movie. I love the look and feel of the street – especially around the holidays, when white snow is falling against the red brick, and the whole scene looks something from Norman Rockwell – if Mr. Rockwell liked to play video poker.
Of the six casinos in Central City, five of them are on Main Street, (one is just around the corner). The only non-Main Street area casino is The Reserve, but it too is just a short stroll from Main Street.
The Reserve (a sort of Hard Rock Hotel and Casino wannabe) and the Century Casino are the two "fancy," more Las Vegas style casinos. The other six are more cozy (and friendly) casinos located in old historic buildings. Some
So if you're looking for the big, busy casinos with fancy restaurants and a Las Vegas vibe, you should head down the street to Black Hawk. However if you're looking for a friendlier, more cozy day at the slots, (and you mostly only play slots or video poker), give Central City a try.

'Burb Blurb
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the great June 2004 edition of
your magazine. I found all of the information regarding suburb rankings both
informative and enlightening. I was a bit concerned though that Amherst Township
was omitted from your survey. Amherst is one of the coziest towns in Lorain
County. Not to mention they have one of the highest educational ratings by the
state of Ohio in the Northeast Ohio area. Maybe you could consider including
an article in one of your future editions highlighting the finer points of Amherst.
Thank you again for a great magazine.
Derek Lewallen
Editor's Note: Space constraints limit what suburbs we can cover. In determining
our list of 65 communities, we include Cuyahoga County suburbs with populations
greater than 3,000 and then consider only the larger communities in outlying
I know in past years your magazine has included Painesville Township in your "Education
in the Suburbs" survey ["Rating the Suburbs," June 2004]. Unfortunately, this
year, you did not. However, Painesville city is included. There is a world of
difference between the two districts with the same first name. However, most
readers would not be aware of that difference and possibly be turned off to
even looking in Painesville Township for a home.
Our schools have ranked excellent two out of the past three years on the state
report card, have received numerous awards at all levels for recognized accomplishments
and have been selected by the What Parents Want award the past four years. It
seems unfortunate that such an excellent school district was left out when our
neighbor who ranked almost last in the Education category is the only one represented
with the "Painesville" name. I hope next year Painesville Township will once
again be included in your survey.

Note: In the years we've ranked the suburbs, only the city of Painesville
has been included in our issue.
Mixed Reviews
It was great to see your cover story on the Cleveland rock scene [April 2004].
I've always told people outside this area how rich and diverse the music scene
is, and always has been, here. The long list of local successes, some of which
you wisely included, emphasize that point.
And it's always nice to read about up-and-coming artists. I was particularly impressed with the unique Jaded Era when I saw them perform recently at the Odeon. So when I read that Esquire Magazine recently named the Top-10 rock cities and Cleveland wasn't among them, I was baffled. I've been to many other cities and checked out their club scene and most do not offer the wide variety of live music that we enjoy here on the North Coast.
Thanks for bringing that fact to others' attention.
Deanna R. Adams
(author of "Rock 'n' Roll and the Cleveland Connection")
There is nothing wrong with a staged photo — if it is true to the subject. But your April cover photo of a supposed girl rocker is pretty bad. This chick doesn't even know how to hold a guitar convincingly. It's just obviously dumb.
W. Logan Fry
Turn Off the Twaddle
It was decidedly serendipitous for me to find the monograph on
Cleveland Heights novelist Sarah Willis ["Character Building," March 2004].
Having been an amateur writer for many years, I know how engrossing writing
can be.
We read that several writing programs at Cleveland State University ignited the lady's literary creativity. She turned off the television and wrote six days a week for three hours or more.
Undoubtedly, her time was better spent over her typewriter keyboard, and more profitable intellectually. Televised twaddle neither butters parsnips nor stimulates the spirit.
William Dauenhauer
Nothing Mild
In "A Mother's Choice" [June 2004], while the term "mildly autistic" may be
correct when referring to a diagnostic scale, it is misleading when used as
a description of a child. It would be more accurate to write that Belal is a
child with high-functioning autism. Any person with autism or parent of a child
with autism will tell you there is nothing mild about this neurological disorder.
Elizabeth Olivier
Correction: In "A Mother's Choice" (June 2004), the woman pictured on page
217 is Cleveland CAIR representative Julia Shearson, not attorney Svetlana Schreiber.

Fourteen-year-old Milwaukee resident, Lonnae Hickman, will make her First Stage debut in the world premiere play TO THE PROMISED LAND playing at the Todd Wehr Theater at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts January 25 through February 10.
Set in late 1960s Milwaukee, the play seamlessly weaves together the story of Ruth, a young African-American girl reeling from the loss of her brother during recent Civil Rights actions, and that of Golda Meir, Israel's first female prime minister, who had spent her formative years in Milwaukee. As Ruth draws on Golda Meir's autobiography for inspiration a story between Milwaukee's African-American and Jewish communities is shared as we follow both characters on their path to her own promised land.
Lonnae has been involved in theater for five years. Although this is her first show at First Stage, she has participated in many school plays. "My favorite role that I have played would be the character Melody in OUT OF MY MIND, a monologue I performed at age 7," she said. Her favorite part of performing is being on stage and getting to tell a wonderful story for everyone to enjoy. Lonnae also shared why she loves to act. "I enjoy acting because you get to be someone else for a little while, someone completely different from you. While being at First Stage, I have learned that when you play a character, you really have to develop that character yourself and it's not as easy as it sounds," she said. Her favorite part of First Stage is not only the acting, but the amazing cast members she has met.
"The play is about the journey of a young person searching for truth while struggling with the tests that come with life in an urban setting," said Director Sheri Williams Pannell. "TO THE PROMISED LAND serves as a catalyst to encourage dialogue about Milwaukee history and witness how one moment in time can impact the life of an impressionable young person," she continued.
Lonnae has taken away many lessons from her experience in this show. She explained, "The main thing I have learned from TO THE PROMISED LAND is that all cultures can learn from one another and create a wonderful friendship."
TO THE PROMISED LAND runs through February 10. For more information, visit www.FirstStage.org.

Single people of the world rejoice and unite, Valentine's Day is over for another year! Hopefully those of you that were so inclined took advantage of the leftover candy sales while they lasted. You can never go wrong with the pretty red and pink colors, they can even make you feel better about what you are eating! But thats not the point, the point is that Feb. 14 is a day very far in the distance, and it is nothing to worry about for a very long time.
In this almost whole year that is ahead of you before it comes around again, take the time to learn to embrace the day! It is very possible that all of the single people of the world who wish for someone could find them before next year. Think about that! If that is not a goal that you have set for yourself, that's great. Embrace that, love yourself and take the time to realize that you are all you need! Self-love is a wonderful thing to have, and a powerful emotional tool.
"There is nothing wrong with being single. I love being single." Say this fifty times a day if that is what makes you believe it, because reinforcing is one of the best ways that you will remember it and learn to really, truly believe it about yourself. If this is what you want, be single. It is okay to want this. Or if you are dating someone, then thats great! Single, dating, married: these are all things that you can choose, and it is up to you and no one else which one you pick.
There is a very simple way to look at it--Be Happy. Whether it is alone, with friends, or with a significant other, the main thing is for you to be happy with where you are at and with who you are in your life. That is really all that matters, and in the long run, you are the person that you need to please. Friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, co-workers, pals; they all come and go. Keep yourself happy, and you will be doing yourself and everyone that knows you a big favor.
Valentine's Day is a great day--to be alive! Make it what you want it, and have a great time doing it--thats all that really matters.

Jina and I headed out of town for The Creative Connection Event in Minnesota which starts today. Here is a picture of the Mississippi river out our hotel window. I had forgotten that the Mississippi river begins in Minnesota.
We came a day early so we could visit with Jon and Kim, the owners of October Afternoon. Great things coming your way from them! But we were able to stop by a fabric store in Historic St. Paul, just a few minutes from our hotel. Yes, they carry Riley Blake fabric plus finished goods available for purchase. I had to get this Hooty Hoot bib. This next photo I like to call Hoot Hoot takes a trip to St. Paul.
Below is the store we stopped by on Grand Street in Historic St. Paul. It has been in business for 35 years.
They had just recently received our Indian Summer Dreamy fabric (Minky).
But....I was in trouble when I found out they carried vintage buttons. I have a weakness for vintage buttons.
These buttons range from the 1850's to the early 1900. Love them! Had to have them.
Did I also mention I have a weakness for all things lemon. We were directed to this lunch spot just down the street from Treadle Yard Goods. They had great soups and salads....but shut the front door... if they did not have the best Lemon Cream Cake. Love Minnesota!
No one has commented yet.

The Barry-Naoto Relationship?
One of newly appointed Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan's primary goals at the two-day G-20 summit in Toronto that kicked off Friday afternoon was to make nice with Barack Obama. It was tensions with the American president after all — and a perceived slight at a global summit — that helped undo Mr. Kan's predecessor, Yukio Hatoyama.
Mr. Kan tackled the meeting, his first big overseas gathering since taking office three weeks ago, with the apparent giddiness of a teenager trying to make friends on the first day of summer camp.
At the Friday luncheon meeting, Mr. Kan nabbed a seat next to Mr. Obama and (In Japanese) casually declared that he too liked green tea ice cream, following up on a reference made by Mr. Obama during his visit to Japan in November when the president said one of his childhood memories of visiting Japan was enjoying the country's matcha flavored dessert.
Mr. Kan looked a tad lost as well, appearing to laugh nervously as he tried to figure out where he should stand in the lineup of world leaders for the group photo. While everyone else managed to find their assigned position, Mr. Kan wandered about, shuffling for a spot among the wrong group of European heads.
Finally, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi kindly waved Mr. Kan over, pointing to the empty space next to him. Keeping a close eye on how their leader was making out with other country heads, the Japanese media took comfort in a friendly pat given by Mr. Obama on the Japanese prime minister's shoulder as he sheepishly stole across to his spot. Morning news shows like Fuji Television's "Tokudane" highlighted the magical tap Monday morning, musing over its possible meaning.
Ever since President Reagan and Prime Minister Nakasone famously declared the "Ron-Yasu" relationship in the mid-1980s, Japanese leaders have tried to show a chummy bond with their American counterpart. At a time when George W. Bush was having trouble finding friends among world leaders, he took Junichiro Koizumi on a buddy tour of Graceland in 2006, where Japan's long-haired leader did some Elvis imitations.
Mr. Kan isn't quite there yet with Mr. Obama, especially since the current White House occupant doesn't openly pal around with fellow heads of state the way predecessors did. But Mr. Kan sought to stoke new bonds during his bilateral meeting with Mr. Obama Sunday, noting that on top of the leaders' mutual interests in countering North Korean threats, strengthening economic ties, and blocking Iran's nuclear program, they also hail from the same unique political beginnings as grassroots community organizers.
"I shared my recognition that President Obama was elected on such a background of the democracy in the United States," said Mr. Kan during a joint press conference following his meeting with the U.S. president Sunday evening. "And I said to the President, I have an experience of political life based on such grassroots activities, and I will also continue to pursue such a style of politics with my allies."
Mr. Kan's unusual background as a grassroots activist, rather than political party acolyte, has attracted considerable attention in Tokyo since the ruling Democratic Party of Japan released a manifesto for July's elections to the upper house of parliament that was sprinkled with bits of Mr. Kan's political biography.
Before long, camp was breaking up, but with the promise of another congenial get-together in the future. "I'm very much looking forward to visiting Japan and enjoying the hospitality of Prime Minister Kan as he helps to shape the agenda for the next APEC meeting," said Mr. Obama following the pair's Sunday bilateral meeting. Green tea ice cream all round?

The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby Theme of Dissatisfaction
(Click the themes infographic to download.)
You have a handsome, wealthy husband; a string of polo ponies; and a closetful of really nice white dresses. What more could you want? Apparently, a lot. None of the characters in The Great Gatsby are happy: they're dissatisfied with marriage, with love, with life, and most of all with themselves. But they're not satisfied with just being dissatisfied. Instead, they wreak havoc trying to make themselves happy. Best case scenario? They end up fleeing back East. Worst case? They end up dead.
Questions About Dissatisfaction
- How does Jordan's "carelessness" indicate dissatisfaction? Why is wealthy society so careless?
- Which characters are dissatisfied, and what would actually make them happy? Do they even know what they want?
- Nick reveals that James Gatz created Jay Gatsby "from the Platonic conception of himself." What was it that dissatisfied James such that he had to create a new persona? Did this new persona solve his problems?
Chew on This
Although the wealthy characters in The Great Gatsby appear to have it all, not a single one of them seems happy.
According to The Great Gatsby, wealth doesn't satisfy your desires; it just gives you an avenue for always craving more.

Patriots' right tackle Sebastian Vollmer had knee surgery, according to Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald.
Vollmer is set to explore the free agent market in March, but recently underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his knee.
This is another injury being fixed in a long line for the often injured tackle. Vollmer has a chronic back problem that will keep the Patriots from franchising him.
When healthy, Vollmer is an above average offensive lineman; however, the Patriots won't break the bank for him, and will let him test free agency.

By 2050, one-fifth of the U.S. population will be age 65 or older, up from 12 percent in 2000 and 8 percent in 1950. As a result, expenditures on long-term services and supports for the elderly will rise substantially in the coming decades.
Buyers of new electric vehicles receive federal tax credits of up to $7,500. How do the credits compare to the total lifetime cost of owning those vehicles and to the reduction in gasoline use and greenhouse gas emissions from driving them?
Spending on means-tested programs and tax credits for low-income households has grown in the past 40 years because of increases in the number of program participants and growth in spending per participant.
The interest rate for subsidized student loans is currently scheduled to double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1, 2013. What would be the budgetary impact of changing interest rates for student loans?
People eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid benefits—known as "dual-eligible beneficiaries"—are a varied group, but many have extensive health care needs and account for a disproportionate share of spending on Medicare and Medicaid.

Final Stats
TOLEDO, Ohio - Junior guard Xavier Silas poured in a game-high 19 points, including three-consecutive three-pointers with under eight minutes remaining, and the Northern Illinois men's basketball team (8-8, 4-0 MAC) held host Toledo to just a 33.3 percent shooting effort in the second half, edging the Rockets (3-15, 0-4), 58-54, at John F. Savage Arena Wednesday night.
The victory extended Northern Illinois' winning streak to six games, the first of its kind since the 1995-96 NCAA Tournament season, and upped the Huskies' Mid-American Conference record to an unblemished 4-0 for the first time in school history. NIU also secured its third-consecutive road win for the first time since the 2002-03 campaign. The Huskies enter this weekend's slate of league games as the MAC's only remaining undefeated team, after Buffalo's 89-54 loss at Kent State Wednesday night.
Silas' game-high 19 points came on a 6-for-14 effort from the field, including a 4-of-4 tally from the free throw line. Junior guard Darion "Jake" Anderson was just 1-for-7 from the field, but finished with 10 points and seven rebounds - he hit two key free throws with just 4.4 seconds remaining to give NIU a decisive two-possession lead. Anderson was 8-for-10 from the charity stripe in the game.
Junior guard Michael Patton came off the bench to score a season-high eight points, including two three-pointers, while sophomore forward Lee Fisher added seven points to go along with four rebounds. Junior center Sean Kowal chipped in nine points on a perfect 3-for-3 shooting effort, and pulled down a team-high eight rebounds.
Toledo was led by Chicago native Malcolm Griffin's 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting - he was joined in double figures by Josh Freelove (11 points), Justin Anyijong (11) and freshman sharpshooter Jake Barnett (10).
"You have to give Toledo credit. They are certainly hungry for a victory, and showed that tonight on their home court. I still think we have some growing up to do; our guys need to understand what being 3-0, and now 4-0, means to an opponent. We can expect our opponents' best shot every time out."
The Huskies missed 12-of their first 14 shots, and fell behind by 11 points, 16-5, with 11:05 remaining in the opening half. But NIU clawed back with an 8-2 run, and pulled within five, 18-13, at the 7:32 mark. DiNunno's first field goal, a three, capped off the run heading into the third media timeout of the opening 20 minutes.
The Huskies took their first lead of the game, 20-19, after Kowal finished a conventional three-point play from the left elbow. Toledo's Anyijong answered on the ensuing possession, capitalizing in transition to give the Rockets a 21-20 advantage, a lead they would not relinquish for the remainder of the half, taking a 25-22 lead into the locker room. NIU finished the first half shooting 24 percent (6-25) from the field, but went 8-for-11 from the free throw line to stay in striking distance.
NIU started the second half on an 8-2 run, and took a 30-27 lead with 15:08 remaining following Silas' second field goal of the half. Toledo quickly re-gained the advantage at 33-32 after a jumper by Griffin. Anderson and Kowal answered by drilling four-consecutive free throws, and NIU took a 36-33 at the 12:20 mark.
The see-saw affair continued, as Toledo countered with five straight points, taking a 38-36 lead after Freelove's second-consecutive field goal. But then Silas single-handedly took over. The Colorado transfer hit three-consecutive treys in the span of 2:06, helping the Huskies build a 47-44 lead with 5:50 remaining. Michael Patton added a transition runner from just inside the free throw line with 4:23 remaining, giving NIU a 49-44 lead.
The Huskies' lead was extended to a game-high eight points (54-46) with 2:27 remaining after a driving runner by Fisher. But Barnett drilled two free throws, and Bastfield stole the ensuing inbounds pass. Standing wide-open in the left corner, Anyijong hit an ensuing three, pulling the Rockets within one possession (54-51) with 2:03 left.
After a missed jumper by Silas, Jeremy Landers was whistled for a loose ball foul, sending Griffin to the free throw line. He split the pair, keeping NIU's advantage at 54-52 with just over one minute remaining. Then it was free throw time for the Huskies.
Anderson hit one-of-two attempts from the charity stripe with 1:01 remaining, and then drilled three-straight in the final 28 seconds to ice the win for the Huskies. His 2-for-2 effort with just 4.4 seconds remaining gave NIU the coveted two-possession lead (58-54), and eventual final margin in the game.
Northern Illinois will travel to Mt. Pleasant, Mich., to take on MAC-West preseason favorite Central Michigan Saturday evening. Tip-off from Rose Arena is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. CST, following the CMU vs. Ohio women's game, which is slated for 3 p.m.

Buzz on the Street: In the US, More Jobs Than You Can Shake a Stick At
A look back at the happenings on Wall Street this week, as seen by Minyanville's Buzz & Banter.
Here is a small sampling of this week's activity in the Buzz.
Monday, July 1, 2013
Random Sniffage: UST Liquidity Update
Michael Sedacca
I've been chatting this morning with active players in the US Treasury space to get a sense of what's what in terms of liquidity now that quarter-end is over. The Friday before last and the Monday following ,I pointed out that liquidity in UST's was dangerously low as the dealer community had figuratively closed up shop for the rest of the quarter. Not to say that there was no trading getting done in fixed income. Today thus far, liquidity is "better" or "decent" and my screens are looking a bit more full, but swap related trading still remains very light so things are getting better as the risk leash gets loosened. Volumes are also very light across the board. Of course, with this week being a vacation week, light trading is to be expected to a certain extent.
The ISM report was better than expected across all sectors with the exception of the employment subindex, which recorded the first sub 50 (contractionary) reading since September 2009. On the conference call, ISM Chairman Holcomb attempted to sound more upbeat saying that employment gains would follow the gains elsewhere in the survey. That strikes me as odd as logically, manufacturers should be increasing staff or hours alongside increasing new orders, which makes me question whether or not this is a blip from oversold (for lack of a better word) prices and inventories.
Prior to today's ISM release I would have hypothesized that the risks to NFP were to a better number than the consensus. Those risks still appear to be there with ADP, ISM non-manufacturing, and the last weekly jobless claims reading from June on Wednesday morning being the final clues. Unfortunately, NFP remains the biggest economic related market catalyst due to Fed policy.
On Friday's release of the Commitment of Traders (COT) report, speculative short positions in the ultra bond ("long bond" on CBOT) were reduced by 21% of total contracts outstanding. This is a very sizable move and could be indicative of steepener trades being unwound or outright short covering.
EM carry trade currencies remain under pressure, specifically the Real (BRL), Ruble (RUB), Rand (ZAR), and Lira (TRY) amongst others. EM CDX has stabilized over the past few trading days, consistent with similar stabilization in real rates over the last week. A BofA report this morning of FX flows during the last week showed hedge funds heavily selling EM and Latin American currencies for the fifth week in a row, specifically BRL, South Korean Won (KRW), TRY, and Israeli Sheckle (ILS). Additionally, corporations and real money (institutions) were sellers of all EM currencies.
Gate Snifface!
Todd Harrison
Just as there were Q2 agendas, there are Q3 agendas and we're seeing that re-positioning now. The tone and tenor are firm and firmer but that doesn't preclude an "upset;; case in point, Serena Williams just lost to Sabine Lisicki at Wimbledon!
Market breadth is 4:1 positive as the banks, transports and tech lead the upside speed; note the price action in Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) now that the second-quarter letters are inked.
My checks around the street indicated that most dealers are half-staffed, which is consistent with what we thought we would see: Agendas + thin ranks = volatility.
The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) 50-day -- the second of four technical resistances -- is right here, right now at 1623.
I scaled into my current positioning (SPY puts); rather than "buy to sell," I used strength to my advantage and layered into exposure. As of Friday, I was a stone's throw from my cost basis; today, I'm about 27 handles under water. Time will tell (it's December paper) but thus far, and shockingly enough, I've been early.
Loose lips sink ships but loose grips (on the handlebars) make for a smoother ride.
Societal acrimony? What societal acrimony? Below is a picture of Tahrir Square in Cairo; the Egyptian military just ordered a 48-hour ultimatum to find a solution.
As always, I hope this finds you well.

Apple Squares
Jeffrey Cooper
The beginning/end of quarters is often an important turning point for stocks and markets.
Apple squared out at 385 on April 19, followed by a significant rally.
AAPL has another square-out at the end of June at 389.
Friday's low was 388.87.
Combined, the two square-outs may indicate a successful test has played out.
AAPL is up strongly pre-market so it will be interesting to see the behavior this week.

Credit Check
Fil Zucchi
Good morning Minyans -- no new corporate bond issuance yesterday, as expected. Pretty quiet on the CDS front this morning with US financials CDS flat to better, PIIGS CDS tighter, and broad indices CDS steady to better. HY spreads have improved a little bit again, but 2-year swaps are again between 16-17bps and there is clearly uncertainty there.
A quick comment on HY spreads: if the chart of HY were the chart of a stock, considering how fast the yield moved from 500bps to 700bps, the pullback down to 660bps would look more like consolidation before another leg up than the change of the trend.
However, fear not; by all accounts, bond buyers are still there waiting for the right deals at the right prices. They may soon be rewarded as Bloomberg is reporting that Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL) will likely hit the market with an 11-figures deal (as in $10+ billion) to... yes, you guessed it, pay dividends and buy back stock.
Another Solid Week for Nintendo
Michael Comeau
VGChartz just posted its latest weekly sales estimates, showing another solid week for the Nintendo (OTCMKTS:NTDOY) 3DS.
While the 3DS had been a significant disappointment since its early 2011 release, sales began picking up in mid-June with the US/Europe release of Animal Leaf: New Crossing (it was already out in Asia), which is why I recently went long the stock. (Deeper explanation here.)
According to VGChartz, global sales of the 3DS were 201K for the week ended June 22. That's below slowdown from the 264K sold the week before, when ALNC was released .
However, in the four weeks before that, the 3DS had averaged sales of just 131K.
On the software side, Nintendo's seen an equally impressive jump. For the week ended June 15, Nintendo moved 1.1 million software units, with 706K being sold the June 22 week. This compares to an average of 566K for the prior four weeks.
Time will tell whether the 3DS will now be stepping up to a higher sustained level of unit sales, but this healthy activity.
On the negative side, the Wii U is still struggling, though that's not a surprise.

On a Mission
Marc Eckelberry
Equity markets are on a mission, and as is often the case, news will not matter for very long until it reaches its goal. So far, the mission seems to be holding the market up right until Friday's NFP, in a game tactic opposite of last month's trade, which sold off before then rallied for three days.
This would suggest a sell the news event on Friday. If that scenario plays out, then we could be targeting SPX 1631.37, 78.6% 2013, around 1626 for ES before we come down hard. NQ (NDX futures) would have upside risk to multiple confluences around 2968/2969. So for now, we are in a buy the dip mode, but beware of the risks involved. SPX 1631.37 is a brick wall, as it collides with the ex-rising trendline support for the year.
To quote Jesse Livermore: "There is also the Wall Street fool, who thinks he must trade all the time".

On June 17, Hop introduces Hop Groups, the groundbreaking group email that adds multiparty communication to your email interface.
Hop groups lets users to communicate in an easy manor with their circle of people while preserving the integrity of their group. You also get a searchable timeline with every message sent and that is delivered.
Each Hop user has the ability to name a group and invite others to join. Once the group is active, Hop Groups eliminates the risk of losing group members, and keeps the conversation timeline without getting messy or complicated.
It's similar to the use of Hop email messaging as users can fold in pictures, links, documents, drawings, or even video/audio. It's easy and engaging.
Thanks to entrepreneurs Erez Pilosof and Guy Gamzu, Hop Groups is making group conversations easier to initiate, maintain and follow.
"We've designed Hop Groups to answer a real need in group communication," says Hop Co-founder, Guy Gamzu "Current technology does not support the way groups of people actually communicate - which is often casual, quick and collaborative. The Groups functionality breaks ground, delivering a set of entirely new capabilities to make group connections easier."
Hop moves fast and sorts your email conveniently into conversations that matter. Hop will save your time and that saves you money. Your associates and most recent contacts stay close, while the things that aren't of consequence at that moment spam stay in the background.
Gamzu says the goal all along was to keep things simple.
"With Hop Groups, anyone can join and leave from the group exactly like any email thread with multiple participants. We believe in simplicity. Unnecessary administration layers mean complexity. Our imagination can only scratch the surface of all those amazing uses people will make with Hop groups. Remember, since it is based on email - the only requirement to join, read, post and be a group member - is to have an email address! I don't think I know anyone who doesn't have one."
Hop brings your email to your life in a friendly way.

South Carolina has one presidential home. It is the home of Woodrow Wilson, the president from Columbia. Wilson, who was president from 1913-1921, lived in Columbia from 1870-1874 when his father, Dr. Joseph Ruggles Wilson, taught at the Columbia Theological Seminary, then located at the Robert Mills House. Dr. Wilson also served as the "Stated Supply" or interim minister at the First Presbyterian Church on the corner of Marion and Lady Streets. While the Wilsons were only in Columbia for four years, they had strong ties here and Dr. Wilson and his wife were buried in the First Presbyterian Church Graveyard. When Woodrow Wilson died in 1924, Columbia was considered as his burial place but the family plot was already filled. He was buried at the National Cathedral in Washington.
Columbia was the only place where the Wilson's owned a home. As a Presbyterian minister, Dr. Wilson moved around quite a bit and lived in church-provided housing. Thinking the family would be here for a while, the Wilsons built a house on the corner of Hampton (then known as Plain) and Henderson Streets in 1872. The houserecently reopened and is managed by Historic Columbia.
Woodrow Wilson was born in Staunton, Va. in 1856 and moved with his family to Augusta, Ga. about a year later. One of his earliest memories was in 1860 when he saw someone running down the street yelling, "Mr. Lincoln has been elected; there will be a war." The Wilsons were in Augusta until 1870, then moved to Columbia when Wilson was 13. During the family's last year in Columbia, Woodrow started college at Davidson College outside of Charlotte, N.C. For health reasons, he withdrew after one year and rejoined his family who had moved to Wilmington, N.C. In 1874, Dr. Wilson had a falling out with the seminary administration and decided to move on.
Woodrow Wilson later graduated from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) and was the only president to hold a doctorate, earning a Ph.D. in political science from Johns Hopkins University. After teaching at Bryn Mawr and Wesleyan, Wilson returned to Princeton where he was president from 1902-1910. After one term as Governor of New Jersey, Wilson was elected President of the United States in 1912. In 1916, Wilson was reelected and led the country into World War I in 1917. After the war's end, Wilson was the first president to travel abroad to attend the Paris Peace Conference. While trying to rally support for the Treaty of Versailles, Wilson suffered a massive stroke in 1919 and was an invalid for the last year and a half of his term. During his public career, Wilson made two trips to Columbia, to dedicate the YMCA building on Sumter Street in 1911 and for the funeral of his sister, Annie, in 1916.
The Wilson Family Home in Columbia has reopened. in addition There are 3 other Wilson homes open to the public in Staunton, Va,Augusta, Ga, and his retirement home in Washington, D.C.

PEORIA, Ill. – Walt Lemon Jr. led five Braves in double-figures with a team-high 15 points and Bradley (4-1) pulled away in the final 11 minutes for an 80-57 victory against Tennessee-Martin (2-4) Saturday afternoon at Carver Arena.
Senior forward Jake Eastman added 14 points, the most in a home game during his Bradley career, while the Braves also got 13 points and nine rebounds from Will Egolf, a career-best tying 12 points off the bench from Jalen Crawford and 11 points from Dyricus Simms-Edwards. The five players scoring in double figures were the most for Bradley since Dec. 22, 2011 at #19 Michigan.
Myles Taylor led the visiting Skyhawks with 17 points and nine rebounds, before fouling out with 4:41 remaining. Mike Liabo scored 15 off the UTM bench and Justin Childs scored 12.
Both teams endured a cold-shooting night most of the game and the Braves were leading just 36-33 after two Liabo free throws with 14:13 remaining. The Braves scored 44 points in the final 13:41, though, a stretch started by an Eastman corner 3-pointer.
After Taylor sliced Bradley's lead wto 45-37 with 11:28 left, Lemon converted back-to-back layups, the second as part of a 3-point play, to ignite an 11-0 run that finally broke the game open and the Braves eventually pushed their advantage to 28 points, 80-52, on consecutive 3-pointers by walk-on guards Jimmy Gavin and Mason Alwan.
The closing push allowed Bradley to climb over 40 percent shooting from the field for the game (25-60, .417). The Braves overcame their own cold shooting by limiting UT-Martin to 32.8 percent (19-58) and outrebounding the Skyhawks, 45-35.
Saturday's game started a 6-game stretch that will see the Braves play in front of the home fans at Carver Arena five times. Following Wednesday's 6 p.m. (CT) game at Central Michigan, Bradley will start a 4-game home stand next Saturday by hosting #4 Michigan in a 3 p. m. game at Carver Arena. The Wolverines (5-0) figure to be the highest-ranked team to ever play at Carver Arena and will be the highest-ranked team to visit the Braves since #2 Wichita State left Robertson Fieldhouse with a 55-47 loss Jan. 9, 1982.
Individual tickets for Saturday's game against the Wolverines, as well as the Jan. 29 home game versus Interstate 74 rival Illinois State, will go on sale Monday at the Renaissance Coliseum Box Office (309-677-2625), the Carver Arena Box Office, all TicketMaster outlets and online at BradleyBraves.com. Tickets for the Michigan and Illinois State games will be available at $22, $15 and $8 prices and also may still be purchased as part of the FAN-tastic 4-Pack, a multi-game pack that also includes the Jan. 6 game versus Wichita State, for $60 (lower bowl) or $35 (upper bowl).

Odd Façade
Greater Cleveland already has Ohio City's spooky Franklin Castle and Chagrin Falls' picturesque Squire's Castle. Travel along Ridge Road in Cleveland's Stockyard neighborhood, and you'll find another. The odd man out among the strip of businesses, the small brick chateau has large wooden doors and turretlike extensions rising from the roof. Built in 1953, the property has a somewhat murky history. The place housed a restaurant and lounge in the '70s and '80s then a nightclub that closed in 2008. In April, it reopened under new management for weekend-only business, spinning Caribbean beats on Friday nights and international Latino hits on Saturdays. "There is no nightclub with a similar look," says manager Gerall Hasrouni. "If anyone says the, you know what they're talking about." 3837 Ridge Road, Cleveland, 216-704-8888

Swallowing Problems
Abby Jacobson, Speech Pathologist, Banner Baywood Medical Center
Question: Why Do I cough every time I have something to drink?
Answer: Coughing with liquids could be a potential sign of a swallowing problem. The perception of liquid going down the "wrong pipe" could indicate entry of fluid into the lungs, which can lead to a serious condition called aspiration pneumonia.
If you consistently cough or choke on liquid or food or experience any of the following signs/symptoms, contact your physician immediately. If you would like more information on aspiration pneumonia, please call the Banner Health referral service at (602) 230-CARE.
Signs and symptoms of a swallowing problem may include:
- Coughing/choking on food and/or liquid
- Wet/gurgling vocal quality
- Repeated swallowing
- Pocketing of food into the cheeks
- Drooling
- Increased body temperature (fever) after eating/drinking
- Increased congestion after eating/drinking

Daddy Gender Quotes
How we cite our quotes: stanza, line
Quote #1
With my gipsy ancestress and my weird luck
And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack
I may be a bit of a Jew. (lines 37-40)
These lines align gypsies with Jews – groups that were both persecuted during the Holocaust. In this poem, gypsies and Jewish people are aligned with the female speaker, and German Nazis are aligned with her father and husband. Thus, women are portrayed as victims and men are portrayed as persecutors.
Quote #2
Every woman adores a Fascist, (line 48)
Here, the idea that women are the victims of fascist, Nazi men, is twisted – women seem to be presented as willing victims, loving their persecutors. This quote may be sarcastic, but it raises the question of how much of women's victimization is their fault. Women, this quote implies, like to be overpowered.

Do you know what I hate most about being married?
It isn't never getting to go on a blind date (seriously, I wish so much I got to go on one). Or having to fold laundry that I didn't get dirty. It isn't having to admit that you might have gone a teeny little bit out of budget in the new shoe category. All of that I can deal with.
It's that there's no where to hide. It's that being married means I signed up to have someone hold a mirror up to me and all of the flaws I spend 78% of my day trying to make sure no one sees. That sucks, people!
See, I'm a brat. I am the oldest and I'm stubborn. I am used to getting my way and I have the uncanny ability to make you feel miserable if I don't get said way. Much like Spiderman, or whatever superhero said it, I have a great power and with it comes a great responsibility. But sometimes I'm pretty irresponsible.
Most people have no clue. Most people think I'm really sweet and that I smile a lot. Which is true. But that's because it's easy to be the person I want you to see when we're only together for an hour or two.
It's my husband that sees the brat. He's the one that deals with tantrums and silent treatments because the bathroom is dirty again.
Yesterday we had a typical marriage fight. We'll probably be talking about it soon on here. Basically, he interrupted me as I began to share a thought about church. Instead of asking him to let me finish I tore him apart in a way a brat only knows how to do.
I wanted to leave and give up, something I am famous for. Not so much out of drama, but because I'm the kid that needs a new clean piece of paper if they make even one wrong mark. Our marriage was a messed up sheet of paper and I needed to throw it away.
The more I thought about it, I really wanted to leave because I hated what I saw. I hated how I can go from fine to drama in 2.8 seconds. I hate that I could treat someone I love so poorly.
The part of myself I hide on the regular had crept out and opened a can of whoop-ass on someone I loved dearly.
An hour later we had our make up conversation (I seriously do use the Anger Plan), and said our sorries. Here's what's funny. Mark had spent his hour feeling bad for interrupting me and not listening to my opinions, something he hates about himself.
Most married people suffer from this. Our frustration from being married don't always come from someone wronging you. Our frustrations often come from the fact that marriage is one of the most honest pictures we'll ever see of ourselves. It's where we let our guard down. It's a mirror that reflects back who we really are.
That's scary. But it doesn't have to be. You can use that mirror to start changing. What behaviors do you regret seeing in yourself? What has your spouse pointed out that, if you're being honest, you'd agree were problem areas for you?
No one wants to look at how they are contributing to a problem. That's called being human. But being accountable for what you've seen in yourself is called being happily married.
And now some words to live by from Michael Jackson:

We, and our spouses, lived side-by-side on our respective boats from April, 2008 through March, 2009. Seldom did a day pass without us having spent some time together. This book, a very brief glimpse into the joys we shared as we made our way from Mexico to Florida, is my catharsis. I have also brought together photographs, memories and tributes from some of the cruisers whose lives she touched along the way just as profoundly as she touched my own.
We provide a full range of services to gather everything necessary to produce the book you've always wanted to write. We'll guide you through the process, step by step.

From Distant Streets
Monday 19 September 2011
In the exhibition "From Distant Streets," curator and in-public photographer Richard Bram has gathered together the work of 29 photographers, including 14 members of in-public, at Galerie Hertz in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, from 2 October-14 November 2011 as part of the Louisville Photo Biennial.
Working around the globe in a multitude of styles but with one common thread, these photographs are of unposed, unrehearsed reality. Street Photography is thus Non-Fiction: Its concerns are much smaller but equally important, the little-noticed nuanced moments of everyday life. It is seeking the unusual in the everyday: As in-public member Nick Turpin puts it, "Good Street Photographs show you something you still would not have seen had you been there."
In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.
Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what's really going on in the world around us.Read more

Total Joint Replacement is a great option for many patients who have severe pain caused by arthritis or injury. During this procedure, CHA surgeons implant a synthetic joint in place of a worn-out joint. The most common surgeries are knee and hip replacements.
CHA uses a nationally-recognized clinical pathway to ensure that each patient gets the best possible care. Every one of our patients meets with our "joint coach," a registered nurse who helps you with pre-surgery testing and screenings, and helps plan your recovery. We are proud of our safety record, and we have some of the lowest infection and complication rates in the region.
What is Total Joint Replacement?
Total Joint Replacement is a surgical procedure where an arthritic or damaged joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint. Joints are places where two or more bones connect together.
Why have Total Joint Replacement?
When cartilage in the joint is damaged or weakened by arthritis or fractures, joints may become stiff and painful. When this happens, the pain may become so severe that patients will avoid using the joint or "favor" it. This weakens the muscle surrounding the joint, making movement more difficult. A Total Joint Replacement may be considered if non-surgical treatment options do not relieve pain.
Who qualifies for Total Joint Replacement?
Our Orthopaedic surgeons will perform a physical examination, diagnostic tests, and X-rays to determine the needs of each patient.
Life after a Total Joint Replacement.
Most people who have a joint replacement will experience a dramatic reduction in joint pain and regain the ability to enjoy daily activities of work and play. There are a few rules that will help increase the life of the new joint. People who have had a joint replacement should NOT:

One of the best ways to keep your heart healthy is a balanced diet full of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, fiber and unsaturated fats, which can reduce blood pressure, risk of blood clots and low-density lipoprotien cholesterol (bad cholesterol levels). Here are four Cleveland Clinic recommended foods to work into your diet. // Jason Brill
oatmeal » Benefit: Whether you call it hot cereal, porridge or oatmeal, this breakfast staple contains soluble fiber, which lowers bad cholesterol. How we like it: We start our day with a bowl of cooked steel-cut oats and mix in bananas for an extra dose of fiber.
salmon » Benefit: The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of fish such as salmon, halibut or albacore tuna for the omega-3 fatty acids found within. How we like it: We shred a 3-ounce salmon filet over a bed of nutrient-packed romaine lettuce, throw in some chopped tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil over it.
Nuts » Benefit: When looking for a good and healthy snack, a daily handful of walnuts, almonds or pistachios loaded with polyunsaturated fats will keep blood vessels healthy and reduce your risk for heart disease. How we like it: Walnuts make a great addition to a bowl of oatmeal or a salad — just make sure they aren't salted or sugared.
extra-virgin olive oil » Benefit: This oil's mix of antioxidants gives it the ability to discern between good and bad cholesterol, lowering the latter while leaving the former alone. How we like it: In moderation, olive oil is great for sauteing vegetables or for dipping bread as an alternative for butter.
Every year around Valentine's Day MetroHealth Medical Center cardiologist Dr. Catherine Fallick becomes very popular at dinner parties. "Is it really true that wine and chocolate can help your heart?" friends and dinner guests ask. The short answer, Fallick says, is yes: Wine and dark chocolate both have anti-inflammatory properties that strengthen and protect the heart. The natural follow-up question: "Which is better for you?" is a bit trickier. So we asked her to compare the two and pick a winner. // Rebecca Meiser

By The Associated Press
JACKSON — Lawmakers have told Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks officials they're violating public trust laws by allowing landowners to build high-fence enclosures for white-tail deer only.
Sam Polles, executive director of the agency, said Tuesday he'll seek an attorney general's opinion about the matter.
At issue is a 2008 regulation adopted by the agency allowing landowners to build enclosures for white-tail deer only. Larry Richardson, an attorney with the state Senate, says the Legislature hasn't passed a law regulating such enclosures. His comments came Tuesday during a Senate Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks Committee hearing.
Richardson says there have been several complaints about the agency regulating such enclosures, which cut off access to the white-tail deer. In Mississippi, the deer belong to the public.

Arsenal is the 1929 Russian film directed by Aleksandr Dovzhenko. The peasants are unhappy after WWI is over. Timosh is one of the many soldiers returning from the war. After a train crash, he becomes radicalized and joins the Bolshevik Revolution. Soon, he joins a group of revolutionaries who fight the Ukrainian government. They clash with the government forces and many separate stories are told. Timosh makes clear to the opposition that they will never give up the fight, no matter what. Will he be able to beat his enemies and save the Ukraine from the capitalists?
The film is a propaganda piece like Earth, but unlike that film, there's a scarier message. It seems to be saying that killing any bourgeoisie is okay, even though some of them may be decent people. One character even asks if they can kill as many capitalists as possible and they get the okay to do so. They then look happy that they're going to kill people. Interestingly, Timosh is quite willing to join the Soviet Union, even though a lot of Ukrainians would probably be nationalistic and have a strong sense of pride for their country, even if they do become communists. The story isn't a bad one for a propaganda film, although the antagonists are a little too one-dimensional, especially the officer who kills the old woman for no good reason. The cinematography is beautiful, with plenty of memorable images. From the train crash to Timosh stripping off his shirt and becoming bulletproof. There are a lot of memorable moments, such as the men who take their dead comrade's body home to bury him and the old lady with the three dead sons. Honolulu film fans who can handle the scary undertones need to rent it first.

Remembering Charlie Mariano (1923-2009)
Saxophonist Charlie Mariano, who passed away in Germany last week at age 85, was one of the most expansive players of his generation. Yet American jazz fans saw little of this artist's breadth and depth, since much of the finest and most creative work of this Boston-born altoist took place overseas. Jazz.com's Paris-based contributor Thierry Quénum experienced this music up close, and spent time with Mariano on a number of occasions. He shares his thoughts and recollections below. T.G.
Lots of American jazz musician have settled in Europe for a shorter or longer time over the past decades, beginning with Sidney Bechet and Kenny Clarke in the fifties, on to Ed Thigpen, Chet Baker, or more recently Leon Parker.
Charlie Mariano, who just died age 85 in Cologne, Germany—where he had settled more than 30 years ago—was a good example of a musician whose crossing of the Atlantic was coupled with an opening up to the music by the world at large. Meanwhile, he maintained his ability to play the jazz styles he'd learned as a young man, and continued developing as a master improviser and balladeer. He thus became an example and a favorite partner for the younger European musicians he often played with.
Having had the privilege of hearing Charlie Mariano a number of times on stage and in the recording studio and having talked with him on several occasions backstage and in various other places, I though the best eulogy I could do for him was to share that experience with jazz amateurs who might have lost track with this fine stylist of the alto saxophone, and exquisite human being.
Most jazz buffs know about Mariano's stint with the Kenton band, where he replaced Lee Konitz in 1953. Ironically, Mariano told me that he didn't like this orchestra—nor did Konitz who, by the way was, to become his 'almost neighbor' in Cologne a few decades later; as an improviser, Mariano was never much interested in playing with big bands at large. Unlike lots of his Kenton band mates, he didn't care much either for the relaxed Californian atmosphere, and soon went back to his native Boston after Kenton. There he studied, then taught at the Berklee College of Music (Richie Beirach kept reminding him he'd been his student, Charlie told me), and in the fifties, except for his good friend Frank Rosolino, Mariano always felt closer to Bostonians—like Jaki Byard, Herb Pomeroy, Dick Twardzik, Alan Dawson or Quincy Jones—than with the West Coast players.

Neither was he as close to Bird as most altoists of his generation were. Mariano's parents and elder sister were Italian-born. They listened to a lot of opera and Neapolitan songs and his sister became a classical pianist. All this made Mariano conscious of his specific cultural background and of his interest for lyrical playing rather than for Parker-like virtuosity. So, when he settled for a time in Japan with then wife pianist-arranger Toshiko Akiyoshi, Mariano got more interested in composing melodies and learning the flute than in tackling complex big band music.
His return to the US in the early sixties saw him, among others, in two unusual situations. The first one was with Charles Mingus, with whom he recorded three times. Mariano's recollection of the reputedly often irate bassist and leader is paradoxically that of a man who was always nice to him and defended him when people asked why he'd hired a white musician. Second, though he'd met Coltrane several times, admired him and was influenced by him, Mariano admits that he was scared to death when Elvin Jones hired him in 65 to record Dear John C. for Impulse.
But for Mariano the big turn of the sixties was his trip to Malaysia which triggered his interest in South-Eastern and Indian music, a subject that he studied passionately for years. In the last years of his life, Charlie still went to India for a couple of months each winter, to play and study. Avowedly a non-spiritual musician, unlike Coltrane, Mariano saw in this type of music a brand new field of exploration for his interests in melody and rhythm, and an occasion to play new instruments like the nagaswaram, which he'd often used on future recordings, or to perform with ensembles like the Indian Karnataka College of Percussion.
In the early seventies, when he decided to come to Europe—where he'd heard there were more playing opportunities than in Boston—he knew few musicians there. Still he soon became familiar with the likes of German bass player Eberhard Weber and Italian drummer Aldo Romano as well as Belgian guitarist Philippe Catherine and Belgian keyboardist Jasper Van't Hof, with whom he played and recorded until the last years of his life. In Europe he also met Lebanese oud player Rabih Abou Khalil, with whose international band he played, recorded and toured from the mid eighties onward.
Over the course of his 30 some years in Europe, Mariano evolved into one of the most broadly open musician you could meet both sides of the Atlantic. You could hear him in India with young jazz musicians like guitarist Hamid Heri, eager to mix the US tradition with their own non-harmonic roots or with traditional Algerian players like the Smahi brothers. You could hear him in Europe with musicians hardly younger than him such as Swiss drummer Daniel Humair and Spanish pianist Tete Montoliu, as well as with other ones who could be his grandsons like French pianist Jean-Christophe Cholet, German bass player Dieter Ilg, or Hungarian drummer Elemér Balŕzs, playing standards or original compositions. You could hear him in quartet with fellow US pianist Bob Degen, or with seasoned arranger Vince Mendoza, improvising on Ravel melodies scored for a jazz orchestra.
What's more, Mariano never sounded his age, and never indulged into nostalgia about any type of "glorious past." When asked about the decline in the tradition of playing standards, which he mastered so well, he answered me : "It's not that important to me. The standards used to be a vehicle for musicians to communicate during jam sessions. Today we play mostly original compositions and that's very challenging. All this remains music, anyway." The very words of an old wise man with a youthful vision of the art he'd practiced for so long, on four continents.

Thierry ~ So happy to see such an eloquent and thoughtful tribute. Charlie's musical explorations have always been vastly diverse, truly kaleidoscopic in scope. It's important that more people, especially in the US, get a real sense of the breadth of his contribution not just to Jazz, but to the music of the world in general. Your piece addresses this beautifully.

So glad you took the time to write this. Steve Schwarz on WGBH radio in Boston played 4 hours of Charlie's music on Friday night in his memory. I gave a concert dedicated to Charlie on Thursday here in Boston. As a faculty member at the Berklee College of Music and a longtime fan of his playing, his passing is a great loss to me and the musical community here in Boston. His music had such beauty, eloquence, passion, honesty and integrity. Such was the man the few times I had the privilege of spending some time with him. His sound and spirit are timeless. thanks for taking the time...

Though soprano sax was not Charlie Mariano's main axe, on that instrument he was in a class with Steve Lacy, Wayne Shorter and no one else. Anyone doubting this need only listen to "Eyes That Can See in the Dark" from the Eberhard Weber and Colours album SILENT FEET (ECM, recorded 1977), which I just played yesterday on my weekly radio program as a farewell to one of the nicest, most generous artists I've ever met. The Colours quartet, in its day (mid- to late-70s), was easily as interesting as Weather Report, and their music came through with just as much intensity and imagination and less noise and bombast. Mariano knew there was something out there, beyond science, and he sought after it in all he played. We who were privileged to hear him do so should count ourselves lucky. Spirits like his don't come along often.

I had the pleasure of playing with Charlie at the first Stan Kenton convention held at the Birch Hall, Oldham U.K. 1987. From the moment he entered the rehearsal,his persona infected everybody in the band. He joined us with that wonderful smile and warmth - it just oo..oozed out of him. On a personal note I would just like to say what a wonderful saxophone player he was and a very humble human being.

I miss my father Charlie, not only an inspired jazz musician but a loving father to me and all of my wonderful siblings. His production of multi cultural music was a reflection of his love for all cultures in general. Dorothee was a great wife, truly a lover of many cultures too.

Looking for raid is one of the most popular ways of upgrading gear. The difficulty is medium for most players, making it very easy to grab a quick raid through the first or second tier of a current raid area.
With 25 man raids being created you will get multiple levels of attitudes when it comes to playing warcraft. Players with varying amount of skills and abilities joining together for a common good.
Okay, that's the nice way of putting it. Let's face facts, LFR can stink from time to time. Undergeared players joining to obtain fat loot the easiest way possible. Players who are at the top of their game showing their dominance by explaining how everyone sucks unless they pull 100k dps. Players who are barely there, looking for a good excuse not to have to finish up their work for the day. Even players who have imbibed a little too much adult beverages and are proud to announce the fact to the entire raid.
It's a part of the natural occurrence when it comes to raiding to have to have a thick skin. Sometimes you run into players who are willing to be patient. Attempting to improve players by explaining options and making the average player into a great player. I was privileged when I first started raiding by running into a group that helped me become a much better player. That one patient person allowed me to enjoy the raiding experience instead of turning me off for the rest of my gaming career.
Then on the flip side it was the snide and devious comments of others that had me walk away from raiding for a bit. Players who had become full of themselves and their importance in life that name calling became their calling card. At that point in my life I needed World of Warcraft as my outlet for entertainment due to recovering from a serious illness.
The reality is that you will have different types of attitude when it comes to raiding. There will always be players that are better than you. There will always be players that are not as good as you. Players come and go and even in the raiding life that player that's calling everyone a 'noob' will be gone and probably never seen again.
Your attitude and how you carry yourself is a personal choice. Until players are able to punch people though the screen (hopefully never) then they are just words. There is no dishonor in walking away and looking for another raid to avoid a Warcraft bully. They just are not worth the time or the effort to try to change.
Now back into the breach goes the fearless 25. Mommar needs a new pair of pants.
