Steppenwolf's NEXT UP program showcases Chicago's next generation of artists, in three productions presented in rotating repertory in The Garage. NEXT UP is presented in collaboration with Northwestern University's MFA programs in Direction and Design, and features the work of graduates of those programs with casts of professional Chicago actors.
The directors and designers make their Steppenwolf debut under the mentorship of Steppenwolf staff and artists, including ensemble member Anna D. Shapiro and scenic designer Todd Rosenthal—both members of the Northwestern faculty—as well as Associate Artistic Director Erica Daniels, Artistic Producer Rebecca Rugg, and Associate Producer Jacob Padrón.
"The Steppenwolf/Northwestern collaboration for NEXT UP is an exciting experiment in large institutions integrating and supporting the work of young theater makers," comments ensemble member Anna D. Shapiro, head of Northwestern University's MFA Directing Program. "Of course, Steppenwolf has a long and storied history of doing just that—but this multi-year mentor/mentee experience is really a reimagining of the university/regional theater partnership. I am so proud to be a part of it," adds Shapiro.
Next Up 2013 runs May 28 - June 16
Tickets & Information
Support for Next Up comes through the "Leading for the Future Initiative," a program of the Nonprofit Finance Fund, funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.

You probably think you have the cutest pet in the world! Well, now's your chance to prove that and save animals across Bay County.
Calendar Friends is a signature event the Bay County Humane Society holds every year. You can send in a picture of your pet, and for just one dollar anyone can vote for the cutest pet in Bay County.
The pets with the most votes will be put in the Humane Society's calendar coming out in October. The deadline for entering and voting for your pet is September 2; then they'll tally up the votes and announce which animals will be in the calendar at the Panama City Mall.
Proceeds from the calendar help the Humane Society save animals from starvation and sickness.
Mary Sanger explained, "It's used especially for our vet bills. Every month we have a huge vet bill; it's pretty big, about six grand. Since we're a no-kill shelter right now, we're over our capacity of 200 animals, and we just really need the help."
To get your family pet in the running you can drop off an 8 x 10 photo, a negative or CD, and $10. You can vote at the Humane Society or at their temporary voting location in the center of the mall.

Quick Review: What You Should Expect For Ubuntu 10.04
Ubuntu is set to release their next Long Term Support version at the end of April, and we now have a beta version to look at and see what we can expect. There are some pretty big changes coming in Lucid Lynx, many of which are partly or fully implemented in the current beta. There are the surprising changes, the controversial changes, and the just plain cool. Though the full release is still a month away, Ubuntu 10.04 is clearly shaping up to be an impressive release.
The most obvious change to many is the completely redesigned color scheme. The standard brown has been replaced with a purple, grey, and orange theme called Ambiance.

Yellow nail polish put to good use
I don't think I have ever seen a woman with yellow nails, but a coworker in my office claimed she had used it when I asked her if there was such a thing as yellow nail polish. Later I did find yellow nail polish, not just one, but at least 2 brands, in a store. This was before my trip to Florida last month. But no, it was not for my nails.
I wanted to do some field experiments to determine the dispersal rates and patterns of the intertidal snail Batillaria minima I was planning to study. These snails have black shells. So I figured yellow nail polish would be the best marker for them. Here are some snails that I marked at low tide when they were exposed on rocks.
And here are a couple of them among some unmarked ones 2 days later.
The nail polish I used turned out to be quite stable even when exposed to sea water. I was able to locate marked snails up to 4 days later—the last day I looked for them.

"Know where your food comes from." This has become the mantra of those interested in eating less processed, healthier whole foods. Many people love to cook and bake, but don't know what spices to use with which meats, or which condiments would go best with which dishes. This isn't always an easy task, while working full time and leading a busy family life, but Hatchery sets it up for you; and delivers it right to your door.
The concept of Hatchery is to deliver 5-6 artisan style tasting samples directly to the subscriber's door, monthly. They source from small producers, and chefs test every product to ensure optimal quality. They provide easy recipes with printable shopping lists, in which to use your sample products. When you find something you just can't live without, there's a section on their website to order full sized products.
This is a different way of shopping for condiments, spices, oils, sauces and baking needs. Hatchery offers more insight into each product than your typical internet purchasing experience, for $20 per month. Each item is listed in a format which offers a detailed description of the product, containing its origins and also including a biography of the individual who produces it. Knowing exactly where your food comes from is so important – and having the ability to try artisan products before committing to an entire full-sized container is a wonderful way to experiment without breaking the bank. Check out their Youtube video here.
Impressed by the samples offered in my box, I shared them with my mother. I gave her the Wakaya Perfection Organic Ginger, which "is grown and harvested on the island of Wakaya, Fiji, where the nutrient-rich volcanic soil packs it with trace elements and minerals." This 100% organic ginger is in its purest form, "free of chemicals, pesticides, preservatives, and additives". She used it to make these Orange and Spice Ginger Cookies and said they came out really nicely, and had a wonderful ginger flavor.
Also included in my box: a beautiful vanilla and chamomile infused maple syrup, balsamic jam, Chile red pepper tapenade, spice rub & Poire vinegar.
Hatchery also provides some tips and tricks on their website, in addition to their artisan-inspired recipes. The article "How to Use Extracts Beyond Baking" is one of my favorites. They even have an option to specifically search for gluten-free items. The selection they offer can turn an everyday meal into something really special. When your food turns out this good, you're less inclined to want to go out to eat. Two things happen here: you save money. You also know exactly where all of your ingredients came from, because you bought them (hopefully at your local farms, farmer's markets and road stands). The box comes with a full color insert which details the items in the box, where they came from, recommended recipes in which to use them, and the cost of a full-size container.
My only suggestion to Hatchery is that they add links to their recipes directly from the product pages, so that home cooks can easily combine the listed items with the recipes they can be used in. And I would also like to see them add a search on the recipe page by product, so that when the box is opened – I could go right to my computer and see all of the wonderful things I might be able to make with these beautiful products. Check out their Facebook page, Twitter feed, and if you're looking for photo inspiration, their Instagram page.

Feb. 10, 2013
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - The three top teams in the Patriot League women's basketball standings all picked up victories away from home Saturday, as American, Army and Navy all maintained their positions in the top half by completing season sweeps.
American ran away from Colgate to win 69-44 in Hamilton, N.Y., while Navy outlasted Lafayette 60-52 in overtime at Kirby Sports Center in Easton, Pa. Finally, Army took the second of two meetings from Bucknell with a 44-35 victory at Sojka Pavilion Saturday night.
Recaps of Saturday's three games are below. Sunday's slate features one contest, as Holy Cross visits Lehigh at 2 p.m. on CBS Sports Network. Bob Socci will provide the play-by-play, and Amy Lawrence the analysis.
EASTON, Pa. - Jade Geif scored seven of her team's 12 points in the extra session as Navy (14-9, 7-1 Patriot League) stayed in first place with a 60-52 overtime win at Lafayette Saturday afternoon.
Geif finished with nine rebounds and four steals, while Alix Membreno had 18 points, five boards and four thefts. Audrey Bauer hauled down a game-high 11 rebounds to go with eight points.
Emily Homan led three Leopards (10-13, 3-5) in double figures with 12 points, four rebounds and a pair of blocks, while Alicia Manning and Maddie Peabody added 10 points apiece.
Just as Navy had done in its previous trip to Easton a year ago, it had to dig itself out of a first-half deficit. Lafayette led 20-10 after a Danielle Fiacco jumper with 3:04 on the clock. The Mids scored six straight, with Chloe Stapleton draining a 3-pointer with 39 ticks left, to cut the deficit to four points entering the intermission.
Membreno tallied back-to-back treys early in the second to bring the Mids within 26-24 with just over three minutes gone in the second, but consecutive baskets put the Leopards back up 30-24.
Navy used a 7-0 run to take a 33-32 advantage with 7:19 left in the contest, its first lead since 2-0. The teams traded buckets over the next few possessions, but the Mids took a 41-37 lead with 4:30 left in regulation after back-to-back baskets from Membreno and Bauer.
It looked like Navy had control when Stapleton one of her two 3s of the afternoon to put Navy ahead 46-41 with exactly 60 seconds left.
But Manning replied with a triple for Lafayette, and came up with another basket following a Membreno turnover to tie the game at 46-all with 17 seconds left.
Membreno put the Mids in front by a deuce with 12 ticks to go, but Peabody replied for the Leopards to tie the game for the sixth time in the final seconds.
Navy's Kara Pollinger had a 3-point attempt at the buzzer that didn't go, sending the teams to overtime.
The Mids never trailed in the extra session, with Bauer putting Navy up by three with a triple 40 seconds in.
Geif and Membreno teamed up for consecutive baskets, and the former went 1 of 2 at the foul line with 29 seconds remaining to give Navy a 58-52 lead. She added two more from the stripe with 13 seconds remaining to provide the final score.
The Mids finished the game shooting 37.5 percent after hitting on 23.1 percent of their attempts in the first half. Navy shot nearly 44 percent in the second and went 4 of 6 in overtime. Lafayette finished 37.7 percent from the floor after going 11 of 22 (50 percent) in the second half. But the Leopards were just 2 of 7 in overtime.
Watch the Lafayette Sports Network postgame show below.
HAMILTON, N.Y. - Stephanie Anya led all scorers with 14 points and paced three American players in double figures as the Eagles (13-9, 6-2) kept pace with first-place Navy with a convincing 69-44 victory at Colgate (6-17, 0-8) at Cotterell Court.
Anya was 4 of 4 from the field and shot 6 of 7 from the foul line. Geleisa George and Arron Zimmerman poured in 13 points apiece. Alexis Dobbs added eight points and four assists, while Sarah Kiely led all players with 10 rebounds.
Josie Stockill led the Raiders with 10 points in 25 minutes off the bench. Jhazmine Lynch was held scoreless on 0 of 11 shooting and finished with five rebounds, as did Kelly Reid. Randyll Butler added eight points and Lulu Brase chipped in seven.
Colgate led in bench points 23-14, but the Eagles turned 22 Raider turnovers into 26 points.
The Eagles opened the game on an 8-0 run in the first 1:58, but the Raiders replied with a pair of Catherine Lewis triples to cut the deficit to two following a timeout.
George capped off a 9-0 American run to give it a 19-7 lead at the under-12 media timeout. She struck again with a layup with 6:25 left in the first to put the Eagles in front 29-12.
A pair of Anya free throws put the Eagles up 20 for the first time with 3:20 left before the half. Butler's trey on Colgate's final possession of the half made it a 38-21 game at the break.
Brase and Butler tallied the first two baskets of the second to but American's advantage to 38-25, and later two Stockill foul shots brought the Raiders within 42-30 at the 11:42 mark.
Zimmerman capped off a 6-0 American spurt, which turned into a 14-2 run finished off by George's jumper with 5:42 left as the Eagles jumped ahead 59-34. The Eagles cruised from there, taking their largest lead of the game at 67-38 with just under three minutes left on a fast break layup from Dobbs.
American shot 48 percent for the game, including a 15-of-28 clip in the first half. The Raiders hit 31 percent from the floor, with eight field goals in the first half and seven in the second.
LEWISBURG, Pa. - Anna Simmers started the game just 2 of 16 from the floor, but hit her last four field goals, including two 3-pointers, to lift Army to a 44-35 victory at Bucknell Saturday night at Sojka Pavilion.
Simmers and Kelsey Minato tied for the team lead with 14 points, while Aimee Oertner scored four points with game-highs of 12 rebounds and five blocks.
Army (17-6, 6-2) overcame 16 points from Bucknell's Shelby Romine, including the 1,000th of her career. She added six rebounds, and Lindsay Horbatuck brought down a team-high 11 rebounds.
Simmers hit the first of her two late 3s with 2:05 left to put Army up 37-31.
Romine tallied back-to-back buckets for Bucknell (13-10, 4-4) to cut the Black Knights' lead to 37-35 with 1:26 on the clock, but Simmers replied again. She drilled a triple on Army's next possession with 44 ticks remaining to put the Black Knights up 40-35. It was the start of eight straight points for Army to end the game, with Minato going 4 of 4 from the charity stripe in the final minute.
The teams went back and forth early, with Army holding a slim 11-10 lead at the 8:24 mark of the first. But the Bison used an 8-0 run late in the half before a pair of Minato foul shots snapped it. Bucknell led 19-17 at halftime.
Jen Hazlett's 3-pointer put Army back in front 24-22 with 10:06 on the clock, but Rachel Voss tied the game and Katherine Harris' layup gave the Bison the advantage once again at 26-24 with 8:12 to go.
Felicia Mgbada's layup tied the game for the final time at 30-all with just over five minutes on the clock.
Minato swished a jumper and Simmers connected on a drive to give the Black Knights a 34-31 advantage with 2:51 remaining.
In all, the contest featured seven ties and six lead changes.
Neither team shot well from the field, with Army finishing just 26.2 percent in the win and Bucknell going 26.7. The Bison hit six field goals in both halves, and just 1 of 9 on triples. Army shot 4 of 14 from beyond the arc, and outrebounded Bucknell 39-36.

In this video Andrew Nacin and Otto Wood (who both work on the WordPress core) gave a great talk at WordCamp Montreal a few of weeks ago. The presentation was called "Advanced Topics in WordPress Development" where andrew and Otto covered some real cool advanced APIs.
They talk and share code snippets on correct usage of meta and taxonomy queries in WordPress, the transients API for better caching and the embed API in WordPress for better content management and less shortcodes madness.
Andrew and Otto also explain the Filesystem API which is mostly used internally for core, themes and plugins updates. Otto shows how easy it is to use it in themes and plugins and how they could benefit both performance and security-wise for things like CSS file generation in themes with a lot of options, caching plugins settings and so on.
Great to learn from these two guys ;) P.S. How do you like our new video post format?

Brothers of the Sacred Heart
are a religious congregation of men who were founded in Lyon, France, in 1821. Their mission is the evangelization of young people, especially through the ministry of education.
In 1894, the
Brothers of the Sacred Heart
established a school in Baton Rouge, La., under the name St. Vincent's Academy, which has become known as Catholic High School.
St. Vincent's Academy
In 1894, the Brothers of the Sacred Heart established St. Vincent's Academy. From a humble beginning with 106 students, the school continued to grow so that by the late 1920s the old frame building that housed St. Vincent's no longer could contain its student body of nearly 300 boys. As a result, a new school building, gym and brothers' residence were begun in 1928 and completed in January 1929 on North Street at Fourth Street. At that time, the school became known as Catholic High School.
Catholic High School
Even though the Depression years were very difficult, enrollment at the school continued to increase. By the early 1940s, the lack of school room space made it necessary to begin turning away applicants. Therefore, the brothers started looking for a piece of property on which to build a school to accommodate a larger student body. On June 5, 1946, 36 acres of land were purchased, but lack of building funds delayed construction of the school for nearly 10 years.
Through the generosity of many friends in Baton Rouge, in 1956 the
Brothers of the Sacred Heart
were able to begin construction of their long-hoped-for new school. In September 1957, the faculty, along with 450 students moved from the original property near the state capitol to the new campus, which is the present location on Hearthstone Drive.
Today's Catholic High School plant consists of well-equipped classrooms, laboratories, administrative offices and athletic facilities.
The school gymnasium was constructed in 1963.
In 1971, the Roe F. Cangelosi Mall was built for student use.
In 1972, a wing containing classrooms, a library and a student union was added.
An all-weather track, a new baseball field and expanded parking facilities were added in the early 1980s.
In 1982, 1992 and 1997, CHS bought the residences at 720, 808 and 840 Hearthstone Drive for use as offices.
The Fine Arts/Computer Center opened in 1985 as a major addition to the school plant. The 18,000-square-foot facility consists of a computer classroom and lab, chorus and band rooms, ensemble rooms, art room, drafting room and five additional classrooms.
In 1990, a new Maintenance Workshop became the center of all campus maintenance activity.
In 1991, anticipating the school's 100th anniversary, a host of benefactors provided the Centennial Courtyard for the Catholic High campus. It was dedicated in 1994.
In the fall of 2002, CHS dedicated the newest structure to its campus, a 23,000-square-foot Health & Physical Education Center that includes additional classroom space, multiple locker-room areas for the school's athletic teams and physical education classes, a wrestling practice room and a fully equipped weight-training room. Following a generous sponsorship of the Catholic High School mission, this facility was rededicated in May 2014, and named the Ryan D. "Jume" Jumonville, '91 Health and Athletic Performance Center.
In September 2005 CHS dedicated its new Science Center, a 10-classroom structure that provides state-of-the-art facilities and equipment for use in instruction of physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science and computer science.
Above all, the school's greatest assets are its graduates and their outstanding achievements. Many prominent leaders in the Baton Rouge area, as well as around the country, were among students nurtured through their crucial adolescent years by the
Brothers of the Sacred Heart
and dedicated lay faculty and staff members at Catholic High.

But they are still representations of my creativity.
These are some items that I knit (and sold) raising money for Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Camp charities.
I really love knitting, and I had a lot of fun messing with these fun patterns and new yarns!
This is a scarf that I made. I couldn't believe it sold IMMEDIATELY! I'm sure it didn't hurt that the scarf was a part of a fundraiser for a very worthy cause, but still!
I'm definitely biased, but it was really pretty in person. It draped really nicely. The colors in it were really striking too, it reminded me of sea glass trapped in a fishing net. I'm making a similar scarf in a red and black yarn, but it's more delicate.
These are fingerless mitts that I made using a basic acrylic yarn. I made a pair of these for myself a few years ago because I worked in a cold office. I refined it after seeing some stuff that other people did, for example adjusting the amount of ribbing around the wrists and the hands

The scarf was beautiful...I concur...and those mitts....as soon as I figured out the purpose of fingerless mitts, I found them comfortable and very useful...it was easy to type with them on when my hands were cold!

British designer Fred Butler is London's burgeoning modern day pop artist. A maker of eccentric accessories, Technicolor prop displays and set styling, her first fashion collection was shortlisted for the British Council's UKYFE award and soon thereafter she made the BFC's New Gen collective. Following in the footsteps of former mentor and popular set designer Shona Heath, Butler's abstract interpretations straddle fashion and art, but her creative reach extends much, much farther.
Butler's collaborative efforts with celebrities and global brands encompass a dynamic portfolio of carefree imagination. To date, she has been commissioned by iconic companies like Swatch, Samsung and Mini, and has worked on projects such as a large scale cover for cult magazine VOLT, which featured elements of Swarovski Crystal and was exhibited in the London store. More recently, Butler collaborated with Havaiana to design fascinators topped with colorful flip flops that were showcased at Britain's annual Ascot race. Her exceptional fashion medleys have also led to commissioned projects with prominent figures as well as bespoke pieces for Selfridges and Jefferson Hack's Dazed & Confused.
Well-connected in the music scene, Butler also works with leading artists known for their dramatic attire—from Bjork to newcomer Nicki Minaj and fellow libertine Beth Ditto. Butler's blue telephone headpiece was also featured in Lady Gaga's "Telephone" music video. She also has her hands in fashion films, which have appeared in film festivals from Paris to Milan and London.
Butler's s/s '12 collection, dubbed "Sonic Sinuate Supertemporal Sequestador," featured a four-part sound installation by singer/songwriter Patrick Wolf and collaboration with Sonos. The sound stage set the euphonious backdrop to her aquatic inspired accessories collection. Studying the fluorescent bodies of deep sea creatures, Butler adapted her subject into illuminating hats, caged masks and booming body pieces. Implementing basketry, she also bound and molded ivory cane into elaborate headpieces—as seen in the Alice band mask of veiled piping, which created a rainbow of colors over the model's face. Another standout piece is a metallic disc of hand-painted silk with a fluid set of cane piping, which gives the illusion of guitar strings in a nod to Wolf.
Her abbreviated clothing collection is a creative display of volume and texture, but also boasts Butler's charisma for prop design and a psychedelic use of color. She reworks scrunchies, that undeniably '90s classic hair accessory, into a twisting large-scale scarf. A fitted neon orange neoprene playsuit and Oceana blue jacket, meanwhile, are fastened with brightly colored soft fabrics carefully wrapped around slinking rings that add movement and rotundity to sleeves. The collaboration with Wolf created an original presentation environment that realized Butler's passionate belief in experiencing multi-sensory fashion in a marriage of color, texture, sound, mood and concept. This collection juxtaposes some of her largest and most magnificent showpieces with her first true commercial line, cleverly infusing both with Butler's unique and unmistakable aesthetic in her most comprehensive collection to date.

Duane Allman: A Rock Visionary on the Cusp of Jazz
Bill Barnes, a regular contributor to jazz.com, recalls some memorable musical performances from almost four decades ago, when a rock icon seemed on the verge of crossing over into jazz territory. Barnes shares his story below, and speculates on what might have happened, had Allman not died in a tragic motorcycle accident—at the age of 24. T.G.
It was an oppressively hot July day as my shaggy friends and I headed down toward Byron, Georgia, for the Second Annual Atlanta International Pop Festival. A year earlier its predecessor had actually been held in Atlanta—a month before a similar, but much more famous event in White Lake, New York. More than just a 'pop' or rock festival, the first AIPF had included an impressive, musically diverse lineup from Janis Joplin to Dave Brubeck, the latter being an encyclopedic nod to jazz.
However, the 1970 Byron festival had less musical diversity on its bill. With Jimi Hendrix as the star attraction and a lineup including the Chambers Brothers, 10 Years After, Grand Funk and Johnny Winter, promoter Alex Cooley probably felt little need. Other than the quirky Captain Beefheart group, there would be nothing resembling jazz on the program in Byron—or so we thought.
We struggled through the 100-mile traffic jam on I-75 and endured the merciless sun for hours before surly Hell's Angels security guards let us through the gates onto the Byron Speedway. Finding our place among over 100,000 shamelessly wasted, semi-naked freaks, mostly squatting on blankets in various shades of psychedelic bliss, we had arrived just in time to hear the emcee gleefully tease, "That's the Allman Brothers tuning up," as the musicians adjusted their instruments and amplifier settings.
Their opening number was typical blues, but what followed was fresh, bold and genre-busting. When the band broke into "Every Hungry Woman," I was intrigued. It was still recognizable as blues-rock, but with grittier funk intensity and the liberal usage of augmented 9th chords, clearly a deviation from the typical rock structure heavy with root-five voicings. However, it was "Dreams," Greg Allman's mystical, languid 6/8 piece, that convinced me something new was happening here beyond the limits of blues and rock- this was bordering on modal jazz. While "Dreams" wasn't exactly on the same level as "A Love Supreme," Duane Allman's solo danced freely between the ionic and mixolydian, even as he switched to his trademark bottleneck midway. The drum kit duo of Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johanson kept the whole composition airborne in an intricate waltz awash in a bluesy B-3 undercurrent, offsetting the impassioned growl of Greg Allman's dusky suscadine-tinged vocals.
It was the introspective, tortured guitar work of Duane Allman that elevated this number beyond the boundaries of blues and rock. His phrasing was thoughtful, structurally simply, but harmonic complex—cliché-free and powerful. Later in the set, any doubts about Duane Allman's jazzy aspirations were dispelled when the band tore into the explosive "Whipping Post." From the forceful 11/8 intro to the dynamic dorian climax, the evidence was damning—these scruffy blues hounds from Daytona Beach were coming dangerously close to committing jazz.
The 1970 Byron performance of "Whipping Post" was more intense, streamlined and straight-ahead than the version captured live at the Fillmore East a year later, months before the young guitarist's fatal motorcycle accident. At the Fillmore, the band expanded the arrangement, spacing out in an orbital ballet freeing the guitars for more involved modal exploration. It would be the greatest recorded performance of that signature tune, unfortunately a swan song for the guitar player who died just before his 25th birthday. For one so young, Duane Allman left some pretty deep footprints. But would he have played a significant role in shaping the fusion movement, or have ventured into the exploration of other jazz subphyla? When such a nova burns out quickly, there are often more questions than answers, but there are some clues.
As a much-in-demand session man at Muscle Shoals and Criteria studios, Duane Allman had plenty of exposure to other types of players. His guitar work appears on releases from R&B artists like Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin and Clarence Carter, and contributed to a variety of other sides alongside more mainstream rock personae from Boz Scagg to Derek and the Dominos. He had a genuine feel for funk and blues and was apparently starting to explore the jazz idiom as well.
According to Randy Poe, author of the Allman biography Skydog, his musical horizons were significantly expanded by bandmate Jaimoe Johanson's record collection, especially his Coltrane, Miles and Tony Williams Lifetime albums. These influences leeched into his playing and, conversely, his playing helped expand the minds and open doors for young hardcore rock audiences in the South, much the same way Carlos Santana's genre-crossing efforts had opened doors between Latino music, rock and, ultimately, fusion.
During his all-too-brief career as a studio musician Duane Allman actually contributed to only one jazz album, Herbie Mann's Push Push, arguably the least 'jazzy' of Mann's discography. But Allman's presence on the session helped make this one of the most commercially successful of all the flautist's recordings and offers a hint of what could have been.
Of course Duane Allman wasn't the only prominent guitarist crossing the boundary into jazz during this period—along with the aforementioned Santana, who spent a considerable amount of time with John McLaughlin, there were others like former Yardbird guitarist Jeff Beck, whose Wired would include Mingus's "Goodbye Porkpie Hat;" and the late Tommy Bolin, who recorded with Billy Cobham. However, I don't believe Allman ever deliberately moved into the jazz realm—it's more likely that he incorporated jazz into his particular style of playing, while never consciously making the distinction.
At least some of his modal ideas could have been absorbed by osmosis through playing with other session players during his countless record dates, many of which were uncredited. During his early studio days he shifted gears from soul to blues, to rock and roll as easily as some people change shirts. Along the way, he developed a jazz sensibility without abandoning the dynamic principals or phrasing of his blues, much like a trick rodeo rider astride two horses, with feet comfortably planted on each saddle. It worked for him because he always seemed to remain loyal to his own inner voice.
If he couldn't feel it, he wouldn't play it; in fact, he was known to call off a session if he wasn't 'in the zone.' Because of this intensely personal commitment to musical fidelity, his solos always had a refreshingly organic, heart-to-wood quality. While many guitarists get lost in technique and theory, gimmickry and gadgetry, Allman shared a common trait with guitar favorites such as B.B. King and Jimi Hendrix as well as jazz icons like Benson and Burrell—he played right down to the wood.
After his death in 1971, the Allman Brothers Band's recordings and concerts took a decided turn away from their more fusionesque material. Though Allman's bandmate and guitar foil Dickey Betts was a gifted player and songwriter, his style leaned a bit more towards traditional country and as a result, the band's sound would soon become firmly rooted in more Southern aesthetics. Under Betts's lead, there would be few wild leaps and forays into the modal ionosphere. As for the other Southern bands that allegedly followed in the Allmans' footsteps, their music remained largely uncontaminated by jazz, Marshall Tucker Band's prosaic flute notwithstanding. Had Duane lived, it's likely that his band's evolution toward jazz would have continued, but we'll never know. All we do know is that, in his absence, it became less progressive.
I was fortunate to hear this band with its original members intact on one more occasion. December 5th, 1970 is a date I'll never forget- it was the one time I would see Duane Allman play up close, in a club setting. The band's star was rising—they were now a concert act with two albums to their credit, filling stadiums to capacity wherever they performed. A landmark live recording at Bill Graham's fabled Fillmore East was yet to come. But the Allmans had already been booked into a Greenville, North Carolina nightclub called the Music Factory, a huge concrete rectangle of a beer hall that catered to the East Carolina University crowd, and there was no getting out of the date.
I was a student at a college within just an hour's drive and jumped at the chance to hear them again. That Saturday afternoon, some friends and I piled into a Dodge van and headed toward Greenville, partying all the way down, arriving a few minutes before the opening set.
It must be said that, when it came to embracing late sixties counterculture sensibilities, many in the Carolinas had lagged behind the rest of the country. Not surprisingly, the crowd that night was an odd mix of long-hairs in bell bottoms and jean jackets and the more typical rowdy, shag-dancing frat boys with their trim Caesar haircuts, alpaca sweaters and Ban-Lon shirts. Back then, we "effete snobs" with our fledgling pony tails would often refer to these gentrified crackers as "grits," too stylish and affluent to be classified as rednecks, but definitely un-cool, out of touch—not the Allmans' ideal audience.
The band eventually meandered onstage amidst a Pabst and Bud-fed barrage of hooting from the grits, all with the same homily: "'Whippin' Post!' Play 'Whippin' Post!' Come on, we want to hear 'Whippin' Post!'" Ad nauseam. Duane Allman, barely 24 years old but seeming much older, was in no mood. With a look on his face like he had just swallowed a palmetto bug, he moseyed up to the microphone, pulled his Les Paul to one side and snarled: "We're not a God-damned jukebox—I call the tunes!" With that, the band ripped into one of their slide blues numbers, "Trouble No More."
The crowd settled down, but the first set was rough, the band seemed unsettled, sound system balance all askew. Fortunately, after a brief intermission in which technical issues seemed to have been resolved, the boys took no prisoners in the second set, ending with a rousing performance of Dickey Betts' haunting instrumental, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed." Duane played with an angry intensity, cutting like cold steel, his phrasing slightly tinged with sadness. The band was molten-hot, vulcanized by the flawless, synchronized precision of Trucks and Johanson. It's hard to imagine them ever sounding better. They left the stage to thunderous applause, cheers and foot-stomping, which showed no signs of abating.
If the motorcycle crash had not taken his life in 1971, Duane Allman would have been in his early sixties today. Imagine what paths his playing would have taken in the interactive Internet age, after decades of cross-pollenization occurring between jazz, blues, r&b, hip-hop and rock 'n roll. Even more tantalizing is the thought of how he would have influenced new generations of guitar players. As it stands, in his brief life he had opened the door a bit wider for many aspiring guitarists sitting on the borders between jazz and more comfortable, less intimidating styles. Would he have completely abandoned his bottleneck, blues riffs and band of Brothers to take up permanent residence on the 'dark side' of fusion or avant-garde? Probably not. But I hate the idea of this unique guitarist being remembered only as an R&B session player, Eric Clapton sideman and a founder of southern rock. He was so much more, a formidable supernova who could have easily toed the technical mark with the likes of Scofield, Kahn and Metheny.
After the last set at the Music Factory in Greenville on that late Autumn night in 1970, the audience kept stomping and clapping, until the Allmans drifted back onstage for their encore. Duane Allman once again approached the mic, this time with the hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth: "Well, you've never heard this one before." Berry Oakley started the unmistakable rumbling 11/8 ostinato, launching the band into "Whipping Post." I will never forget the raw, unbridled force of Duane's solo—as always, that night he played it right down to the wood.

Converting to eSolutions
29 June 2011
Since mid 2010 work has been underway to bring Monash University's Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services into one Department using a shared services model. With the agreement of the faculties and divisions, most of the ICT teams throughout the University had been brought together under the leadership of the Chief Information Officer Dr Ian Tebbett by late 2010.
Whilst the transformation of our ICT service delivery model is still in progress, I feel it is important that we recognise the progress that is being made, and the overall intent of these changes, by adopting a new name at this time. I am pleased to announce that the name of the new Department will be eSolutions.
The new Department will focus on a more customer and service orientated approach to the delivery of ICT services, based on recognised best practice.
Key elements of the new delivery model include a new Service Desk, Campus Service Centres and desktop management approaches as well as the introduction of stronger project and account management.
In addition to delivering our ICT services, eSolutions will be working closely with colleagues in eResearch and eEducation to further enable our research and education missions.
Good progress has also been made in the effort to reform our strategic investment model for ICT. The new model has a longer term planning and funding focus which, together with changes to the governance structure will help ensure that Monash's ICT capability remains strong into the future.
For now, staff and students should continue to use the existing ICT help and support services and over the medium-term, there will be a range of improvements to services rolled out, as eSolutions becomes truly customer-focussed and engaged.
Thank you,
Professor Edward Byrne AO
Vice-Chancellor and President

At times, the best thing to do when tackling a book you haven't yet reviewed, is to simply flip through the pages and randomly stop here and there.
That's what we did recently when we picked up a new (well, new to us at least) copy of "Weird Canadian Laws" by Lisa Wojna, with illustrations provided by Roger Garcia.
Let's turn the pages until we reach page 40, where we learn: "in 1909, Alberta's Minister of Agriculture paid a bounty of ten Canadian dollars for each timber wolf pelt, one dollar for each prairie wolf pelt and a dollar for each wolf pup pelt. However, if the wolves you claimed you killed in Alberta but they actually came from outside the province, you would be hit with a one hundred dollar fine.
In 1916, in the town of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, a person had to be at least 16 years of age to either enter in to or be employed by a bowling alley or billiard room. Pin setters only had to be older than 12. And only males were allowed to hold down these jobs.
In 1959, in Williams Lake, B.C., the village commission passed a law officially naming January 2nd as "Wrestling Day." Last time we visited Williams Lake, that law was still on the books.
WEIRD CANADIAN LAWS by Lisa Wojna was first published in Canada in 2006 by Blue Bike Books.. We tell yah, you just can't make up stuff like this! (see video for top TV lawyers)

bulldogfan dice Simply stated, this book makes you feel good. The author loved his grandmother wholeheartedly and that warmed my heart! I wish I could meet Pauline, and better yet, I wish I had been a guest at her table. I hope the author follows up with another book, maybe with photos of his own tables since he obviously learned from the best.

For many of us, watching live American football games online could be a lifesaver.
Many of us travel, or cant watch the games because we live in other countries.
Or maybe you just want a way to watch every American football game or sporting event – without having to pay $′s for the satellite.
After searching, and searching l almost gave up on the whole idea.
But I was sure that there would come a day that would allow American football fan's the ability to watch any streaming game they wanted – whenever the game was on.
Instead all we found was a bunch of sites that offered very few streaming games-
and you could hardly even watch these games because of the
poor streaming, and reloading times.
It was a nightmare.
And there were definitely no sites that offered us the ability to watch
American football games live online for free.
So when we found something that actually seemed to work- we were very skeptical.
But now here it is !!
Live on your laptop……
Access to American football and sports live online was actually created after we started looking for a site that would allow football fans the ability to watch all their favorite American football games live online.
And only because of the people that we met along the way were informed
of the newest online programs and products -did we get a chance to try this online American football program out to make sure it worked.
So here it is now ! FREE for you to view.
Please Enjoy American Football Live on your PC
Simple instructions….
Below is a menu of all the up coming online sporting events…just click your favorite selection or choose a sporting category to view your game of choice, then select the desired link to that game …. the only condition of entry is mandatory viewing of advertising..

Organic food supplements are crucial in today's nutrient-starved Western world. Wait — did I just say that? Did I just say that people are nutrient-starved in the relatively well-off countries of the world? Yes.
When you go to the grocery store, where does most of the produce come from? Where are the ingredients in pre-made foods grown and harvested? What regulations (or lack thereof) are applied to food companies and farmers of the countries they originate in?
Practically no one can answer these questions for everything we buy, and certainly not your average citizen.
Some companies perform heavy genetic modification on their crops that make them look beautiful but perform horribly nutrition-wise. That's why organic food supplements are so important to you and me: the common, everyday person who wants to live a healthy life without growing our own food full-time.
The nutrients contained in Oceans Alive should be a part of all of our diets – marine phytoplankton is such an essential part of the world's ecosystem that we couldn't live without it! With such a high level of importance attached to something so small by marine biologists the world over, it's incredible what this nature's top nutrient can do for your body!
For starters, marine phytoplankton can stimulate your body to create trillions of new cells, help you feel stronger and more energetic, and help you get more restful sleep at night (just for starters!). The beautiful part is that this isn't some silly super-pill made in a lab that comes with side effects that are just as bad as the problem they were created to treat – it's completely natural.
Organic food supplements like Ocean Alive don't have all of the harmful substances you would find in chemically treated foods – just pure, fresh-harvested and stabilized marine phytoplankton. I challenge you to find another vendor that provides fresher, more nutrient-rich plankton anywhere in the entire world – you won't be able to because we're the only ones who have mastered this process!

Sometimes you want to squeeze in a light workout in between tough ones. Walking is great exercise but when you want to make it a little more interesting, check out Jessica Smith's new workout DVD "Walk On With Jessica Smith: Strength & Balance." (Wellness Systems, $14.95).
Smith is a certified personal trainer, instructor and author who teaches at Equinox and Canyon Ranch in Miami Beach. She also is host of Jessica Smith TV, where you can find online workouts.
There are two 30-minute workouts on the DVD, the latest in her "Walk On" series. The first is Stride & Strength, a 30-minute walking workout that includes strength training and high-intensity interval training. It's the more intense of the two workouts. All you need is a set of dumbbells.
The second workout is Fusion Walk, and you don't even need shoes for it. The barefoot workout is intentional – part of the purpose of it is to strengthen your foot muscles. The workout is a fusion of walking with dance, kickboxing and Pilates.
The DVD is filmed outdoors in Florida, with seabirds, palm trees and boats in the background. She works with two background exercisers (one is her mom), and the moves are very easy to follow. There are no fancy camera angles to confuse things and the background music is a notch above the usual workout DVD variety.

Penny Layne, a certified professional dog trainer with more than two decades of experience, is offering free canine aggression training to local police departments and other first responders. These training sessions are sponsored by local businesses and concerned individuals.
Last weekend, a McKeesport police officer was hospitalized after being attacked by a dog. According to KDKA, Officer Frank Durante was attacked while responding to a custody dispute on Saturday, July 13.
"He was trained to be very protective, we got him as a guard dog," said Danielle Holloway, owner of the dog. She said her ex-husband actually let the dog outside, and when he saw the police officers, he did what he was trained to do: protect.
"My dog jumped and latched onto the officer's arm," Holloway said. "The officer outside of the gate began to shoot at my dog and my children were so close. My mother had to take them home and showered them. They were covered in blood."
According to KDKA, the officer was bitten on the left thigh and left forearm. As of Tuesday evening, he remained hospitalized. The dog died on the way to the kennel.
Layne believes that such incidences are caused by reckless, inhumane owners and insufficiently trained police officers. She feels that other, non-lethal techniques could have been used to subdue the dog.
In an email interview, Layne said, "I agree this person let the dog out to attack. But here is what I also see… there were children nearby, so close that clothes had to be changed because the children were sprayed with blood!"
Layne states that, by providing officers with training in dog behavior, access to animal control, knowledge of non-lethal techniques and up-to-date equipment, the potential for such incidences can be reduced or eliminated.
"If police would understand how important this training is they would have better PR in their communities," said Layne. "In this case a pepper ball gun could have been used. They are non-lethal and back the dog up."
Canine aggression training sessions cover a variety of topics including: how to assess the dog's environment; reading dog posture, vocalization and facial expressions; options for distraction and escape; defensive options; gathering information/evidence; types of incidents and encounters; and effective responses for the media.
To schedule a training session or learn more about sponsorship opportunities, email email@example.com or call 724-515-7790.
Layne, owner of Aunt Penny's Pet Sitting, also provides community education and free training for veterinary staff and other animal-related professionals, as well as Dogs and Storks safety classes through local hospitals. For more information, visit http://myauntpenny.com/

26 June 2012, by Tom Marshall
Trees colonising formerly open tundra as the climate warms could cause Arctic ecosystems to release vast amounts of stored soil carbon into the atmosphere, a new paper argues.
Many climate models have assumed that trees taking over the Arctic, and the enormous increase in plant biomass this would bring, would cause these landscapes to absorb much more carbon than they did before, helping restrain the effects of climate change.
But this study suggests that's far from certain. In Scandinavia at least, when tundra heath turns into birch woodland it seems it could release much of the carbon stored in the soil into the air. This will more than counterbalance the fact that a forest holds around twice as much carbon in its biomass. So far from holding climate change in check, accelerated tree growth, and colonisation of treeless landscapes, could speed it up.
The question matters a great deal, because Arctic soils hold a huge amount of carbon - much more than is in the whole atmosphere at any given time. If all this carbon were released in a short period, the effects on the climate would be profound. And because global warming helps the birch trees get a foothold on tundra heathland, this could turn into a vicious circle whereby warming causes more carbon release, leading in turn to further warming.
'Our study questions the idea that high-latitude environments will be big carbon sinks' says Dr Iain Hartley of the University of Exeter, lead author of the paper in Nature Climate Change. 'It's hard to know the magnitude of these effects at the moment, but this certainly suggests that our understanding of the effects of environmental change in the Arctic needs to change - greater plant biomass doesn't always mean greater carbon storage.'
The team examined sites around the forest/tundra boundary (known as an 'ecotone') of northern Sweden, comparing the stocks of carbon in open tundra plants and soils compared to those in nearby woodlands dominated by mountain birch, a species expected to account for much of the colonisation of the far north of Scandinavia.
Birch trees on the tundra.
They found that even though these vigorous trees produce far more biomass than the grasses, lichens and shrubs they will replace, that doesn't mean the ecosystem as a whole holds more carbon - instead, the trees' presence seems to make organic matter in the soil break down more quickly, and this means the stock of carbon built up in the tundra soil could be released into the atmosphere in a short period.
To understand the differences between the two habitats, the researchers had to be able to distinguish carbon that's cycling quickly through the soil system from carbon that's stored there over long periods. To do this, they turned to radiocarbon analysis. The use of the first nuclear weapons in the mid-twentieth century sent a pulse of radioactive carbon into the air that left a permanent signature in the biosphere at the time. So scientists can fairly easily tell things that were alive before then from things that came afterwards.
The team analysed the radiocarbon signature of the CO2 being given off by the soil in the two different ecosystems, learning that the trees seem to be stimulating the release of carbon from the soil.
Scientists aren't sure exactly how this process, known as 'soil priming', happens. They suspect that in general terms it's to do with soil-dwelling microbes, particularly the mycorrhizal fungi, which have a cooperative relationship with tree roots. As the trees grow they provide these organisms with more carbohydrates, which in turn lets them break down organic material in the soil more quickly and efficiently, as well as helping the trees to access nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen.
The findings suggest that methods used so far to assess the effect of climate change on carbon stocks in the Arctic, such as vegetation models and using satellite data to estimate carbon levels, may need to be reconsidered, as they often assume that tree growth will lead to more carbon being absorbed overall.
But Hartley says much more bigger and longer-term studies will be needed to provide the data that climate models will need to represent the effects of soil priming accurately. This could involve planting birches in sections of tundra heath and monitoring the effects on the soil as the years pass. He notes that it's not certain how far the findings apply to trees other than birches, and that more work is needed to see if conifers will have a similar effect. Likewise this study looked at well-drained tundra without permafrost; different dynamics could well apply in other habitat types, including, for example, the UK uplands. For the latter, the study indicates that caution will be needed when assessing the consequences of afforestation of heathland ecosystems with peaty soils, for overall carbon fluxes.
The research is part of the NERC-funded Arctic Biosphere Atmosphere Coupling at Multiple Scales (ABACUS) project, and involved scientists from the Universities of Exeter, Sheffield and Stirling as well as the NERC Radiocarbon Facility and the James Hutton Institute.

Trees rice cotton most grain vegetables grasses are C3 photosynthesis pathway taking biomass carbon from soil resulting in deserts. South Americans stripped the under-storey in forest to grow c3 crops within 3 years no soil or forest. With 300 yers of CO2e build up and no UN solution accepted by so called developed nation in the artic and indeed deserts we need to permit the 2-6% of C4 high CO2 sequestering vegetation including "weeds" that are also our drugs and herbs and vegetables to secure deserts and article soil until politics is crubbed from UN and science and experts lower CO2 and grow soil or stabilise existing cover.

trees store carbon,no wonder no one trusts what scientist say these days
david england, uk
Monday, 2 July 2012 - 17:38
Yes, but the point of this study is that if you actually measure the amount of carbon that these trees store and compare it with the amount of carbon they cause to be lost from the soil, it turns out that the latter is significantly bigger. So the net effect in this particular case - birch trees growing on tundra - is that carbon is lost from the ecosystem into the atmosphere.

So whatever happened to the photosynesis of carbon dioxide in the atomosphere being turned into Oxygen, or doesn't that theory work true any more?

The price for this herb on my server has crashed, I've started buying it up just in case this is another of Blizzards "bugs" *cough* intended bug? *cough* Will hearblossom become to next whiptail? Will the spawn rate be fixed thus raising the price and providing gold makers an excellent opportunity to flip this herb?
