In observance of American Diabetes Association Alert Day® on Tuesday, March 27, NDEP joins its partners in raising awareness about the seriousness of diabetes and the risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes. This year, the NDEP encourages people to know their risk for developing type 2 diabetes by taking the Diabetes Risk Test, and, if you are at risk for type 2 diabetes, take Just One Step toward better health with NDEP's Just One Step online tool.
To help people spread the word, the NDEP has developed many promotional resources for partners to use in their local communities. Visit www.YourDiabetesInfo.org/AlertDay2012 to find these resources, many of which are also available in Spanish. In addition to the Diabetes Risk Test and Just One Step tool, NDEP offers template materials that partners can customize and use such as:
In recognition of National Nutrition Month this March, "Get Your Plate in Shape" to help people make healthy food choices, such as eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. Such eating habits are an important part of maintaining a healthy weight and may help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in people at risk or prevent diabetes-related complications in people with the disease. Help people learn how to take steps toward healthy eating with NDEP's Small Steps for Eating Healthy Foods. Keep track of what you're eating by using NDEP's fat and calorie counter and food andactivity tracker. Make healthy foods for the entire family with NDEP's Tasty Recipes for People with Diabetes and Their Families recipe booklet and recipe card set one and two. To learn more about small steps for healthy eating to help you manage your weight, watch NDEP's Healthy Eating with Diabetes video.
In support of National Kidney Month and World Kidney Day (March 8), the NDEP and the National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) are working to raise awareness about kidney health. Having undiagnosed or untreated diabetes is a major cause of kidney disease. Recognizing that African Americans have a higher rate of kidney failure than any other group of people, NKDEP is reaching out to African-American faith organizations around the country conducting health information sessions focused on kidney disease education.
NKDEP will hold its inaugural national Kidney Sundays event on March 25. Using the newly-revised Kidney Sundays Toolkit, faith organizations will discuss the risk factors of kidney disease – which include diabetes and high blood pressure – and help congregants learn how to live longer, healthier lives. If you want to get involved with this initiative, use the Kidney Sundays Toolkit to help you have a conversation about kidney disease with friends, family, co-workers, or community groups.

Another piece of wine journalism to file under don't-believe-everything-you-read: The New York Times' Is There Still Hope for Syrah? (by Eric Asimov; June 1, 2010). When gauntlets like this are thrown around, naturally people will talk. So now, I'm going to speak my piece...
First of all, I don't buy the line about syrah-comes-in-so-many-styles-consumers-are-confused. Pure baloney, and insulting to consumers. Cabernet sauvignons, chardonnays, pinot noirs, merlots, etc. come in just as many or more styles, and consumers don't seem to have a problem with that. Too-much-variety used to be the knock on California zinfandel, and zinfandel is more popular than ever!
Second, it doesn't help to have stories printed like The New York Times piece that insinuate that there's something "wrong" with, say, California syrahs (let's not forget, Washington and Oregon makes fabulous syrahs, too). The statement quoted from wine journalist Patrick Comiskey, for instance, saying that syrahs at "higher ripeness" levels "lose their character" and become "generic" is an over-simplification. It's climate, soil, topography, etc. that makes for great, or just average, syrahs, whether or not they are picked at higher levels of ripeness.
All those great Sine Qua Non syrahs the cult wine collectors positively swoon over? None of them have been "low" or even "moderate" in ripeness level, but they sure have pushed the envelope in saturation of tremendous syrah character. All of the consensus "finest" syrahs of the past ten years, made by the likes of Amavi and Long Shadows in Washington, Tyrus Evan and Quady North in Oregon, Jaffurs and Stolpman in Santa Barbara, Neyers and JC on California's North Coast (and so-o-o much more)? Virtually every one of these wines -- beautifully intense in varietal definition and expression of terroir -- fall in extremely high ripeness levels, between 14% and 15% alcohol or higher. So what does that make these syrahs: duck soup?
As pointed out in that very same piece in the Times, "cool climate" more than anything leads to well defined, world class syrah. Cooler climates in California, however, still produce ultra-ripe styles of syrah, a good 2% or 3% more alcohol than what you find in Northern Rhone grown syrahs. So what? If the wine is balanced, totally delicious, true to the grape and its origin, then it's a great syrah, period.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the work Comiskey is doing promoting American grown Rhone style wines (he's writing a book). But misleading inferences, like California-syrah-is-too-ripe-or-full, printed in widely read papers only serve to turn off potential syrah consumers (heck, many wine professionals) who might not know better and, yes, often believe what they read.
Exactly why should I care? I would hate to see consumers changing their mind about buying a perfectly beautiful Neyers or Jaffurs syrah because their labels read 14.5% -- just because of something erroneous they read in the Times. The consumer loses, and so does the producer. I don't get it, and I just don't dig it.
California syrah, it's true, doesn't have a Sideways going for it like pinot noir. Pinot noir is also extremely food versatile, and soft and easy on the palate (btw, the average alcohol level of top rated ultra-premium pinot noir these days now tops 14% -- and they taste great!). These are all plusses for consumers. But you also have to remember: it took several decades for West Coast pinot noirs to establish themselves in the hearts, minds and palates of consumers. The big syrah push in West Coast vineyards didn't take place until the mid-1990s, and their increased presence in the market after 2001 has been hampered by two recessions, not to mention the sudden popularity of pinot noir.
Ergo, my take: we all (syrah producers, and lovers of syrah, from consumers to sommeliers, distributors and retailers, etc.) just have to be patient. Nothing comes overnight; but judging from the outstanding quality of the wines we are seeing, it's all a matter of time before American grown syrah is the big thing, not the next one.
Finally, it is always a huge mistake to underestimate the food versatility of syrah. Like both pinot noir and zinfandel, the best syrahs (even the biggest) are intensely perfumed and fruit-forward by the very nature of the grape. These make for wines that handle meats in intense sauces and spices -- peppercorns, chile peppers, mustards, barbecue sauces, dry rubs, herbs, Port reductions, you name it... -- with delicious ease. For a detailed treatment of ideal syrah's food affinites, re my piece in Culinary Wine & Food Matching.
Syrah is far more food versatile than cabernet sauvignon and merlot; and in many instances (handling fattier meats in strong spices or sauces), it is more versatile than pinot noir.
So if you're a true believer: get out of from your kitchen and rattle those pots and pans. Let your favorite restaurants know they need to get into great American syrahs, and serve your best bottles at home with pomp and circumstance. This doesn't mean you need to forgo your favorite pinot noirs or zinfandels: just set them up as preliminaries before your fine syrahs. Then maybe, next year or hopefully soon after, we won't be sitting around talking about things like, "is there hope for syrah?"

College Hockey:This Week in the Hockey East Women's League: Feb. 6, 2003
Boston College still has plenty of work to do if it wants to make the Hockey East playoffs, but Tuesday's Women's Beanpot win over Northeastern was a giant leap in that direction.
A tournament that has historically been dominated by Northeastern and Harvard finally has taken one step towards parity.
"The Beanpot is its own season," said BC coach Tom Babson. "That's what we told our kids. This is history — let's make some more of it."
— BC coach Tom Babson, on his Eagles' Beanpot final against No. 1 Harvard.
Standing in their way next Tuesday is No. 1 Harvard, which beat BC 17-2 the previous Tuesday.
"We're looking forward to it," Babson said. "You might think we're not. But we are."
Babson credits the last Harvard game with forcing his team to raise its speed a notch.
"It's fun to watch them myself," Babson said. "I love to see the puck move, but we got to figure out ways to counter that and maybe mitigate a little bit of the strength they have in that line and do something with other lines."
He remarked that Harvard's fourth line still managed to tally four goals on his team.
If BC really does learn from getting beaten around by Harvard, then the Eagles can be happy that their next games after the Beanpot final will be the most crucial in determining their Hockey East playoff fate — a pair against Connecticut on the 20th and 22nd. For Hockey East fans, those will serve as bookends to the effective league regular-season championship — the rubber match of the New Hampshire-Providence series.
Of course, to make that game meaningful, Providence will need good results against Connecticut this weekend. The Huskies tied the Friars in their first meeting, and appear to be on a roll with wins over Quinnipiac and Brown last weekend.
Another step towards parity for the Women's Beanpot would be for Boston University to finally step up to the varsity level. The Terriers' club team fell 7-0 to Harvard, as the Crimson showed mercy.
"It'd be awesome for Boston hockey," said Harvard coach Katey Stone of the prospect of BU adding a program. "This is a great place to play hockey. BU's so good in men's hockey. BC's so good in men's hockey. The Beanpot is such a big championship in the middle of the season. We just hope we get to that point."
Northeastern Going South
After picking up her 16th defeat against BC — a school record in futility — Northeastern coach Joy Woog is running out of answers.
"It's frustrating," Woog said. "The kids are frustrated. They're working hard. You can't fault hard work. We gotta find a way to get it done. That's what we addressed today. We didn't find the answers for BC."
Woog is 2-3 in her career in the Beanpot, with both wins coming against BU's club team.
Stone understood Woog's difficulties in her third season since Heather Linstad's departure to Connecticut. Stone has been through the experience of developing a program. In her second and third seasons as Harvard coach, Stone set program records for defeats — then went 33-1 and won the national championship in her fifth season.
"I think when you have coaching changes — and coaching changes are positive changes, Heather leaving for what she wanted and Joy coming into a situation she wanted," Stone said. "It takes time to get kids going in the direction you want them to go into. Northeastern's taking their lumps in transition. Joy's a good coach and her kids play hard."

Make a Cake Stand | Simple DIY Project
Cake stands are adorable and useful (especially during Christmas cookie season), but tough to collect. They cay be pricey, especially the vintage ones, and they take up a lot of room in a china cabinet. So I've come up with a solution to satisfy my cake stand fetish without overwhelming my budget or storage capacity. I came up with an easy way to make a cake stand that you can take apart when you no longer need it.
Materials to Make a Cake Stand
A pretty drinking glass (mine was from Anthropologie), a pretty plate in a reasonably proportional size (you can find hobnail plates similar to this one here), and some museum putty (also called earthquake putty) a lightly adhesive compound, available in many hardware stores, that will hold the plate together.
Assembly is pretty self-explanatory, but here's the photo:
You simply put the putty on the bottom of the upturned jar and stick the plate on top. If you're using a clear glass plate, whatever you're displaying on the stand will cover the putty. If you're using an opaque plate, you'll never see it!
And there you go! A lovely DIY cake stand that can be disassembled once you're finished with it. Then the cup and plate can go back into circulation for their intended uses. And you get to play with as many cake stands as your imagination and dinnerware collection will allow.

Discover Regulus Resources
Regulus Resources Inc. (TSX V.REG) is a well-funded Canadian exploration company lead by the former management of Antares Minerals Inc.; John E. Black, Kevin B. Heather and Mark Wayne. Regulus was created through the spin-out of the Rio Grande Cu-Au project in Argentina from Antares Minerals during the sale of Antares and the giant Haquira Cu-M-Au deposit in Peru to First Quantum Minerals (TSX.FM, UK FQM) in 2010 for approximately C$650 million. Regulus has recently acquired a new flagship project, the AntaKori Cu-Au-Ag project in northern Peru, by means of a friendly merger with Southern Legacy Minerals and is well positioned to repeat the previous success of Antares Minerals.

by SPOT.ph staff Published on: Sep 12, 2012 - 7:00am
(SPOT.ph) Pockmarked by decay and distress, many say it's hard to love Manila. But once you do, once its chaos becomes its charm, and its madness becomes its magic, you know it's true love that you have for the city, baby! People are warm and kind and happy. And while we keep on complaining about the glare of the sun, we know it's part and parcel of what makes this city so loveable.
Like any other place in the world, there are things about Manila that you're not likely to find in any guidebook. To give newbies an easier time and help locals rediscover the city, here's a list of things to expect when you find yourself on its crazy streets:
People shouting on the street is normal.
Especially on busy streets where there is what looks to be a jeep or a bus stop or where people are hailing cabs. Do not panic when you hear people suddenly shouting at your ears. "Kasya pa dalawa! Kasya pa dalawa!" Or "Sa ilalim ang daan!" Or "Maluwag pa dito!" That is not Tourette's, mind. And that's not gibberish, either. They are barkers trying to fill up a jeep or a bus, or hailing a cab for a waiting passenger. Hide your surprise or your fear and walk away. Or better yet, laugh it out-that's what locals do.
Cab drivers expect tips.
The flag-down rate for cabs is P40. From Ortigas to Makati, you can expect to shell out about P85 pesos, which in Manila, really means two things: P90 if you have a fifty and two twenties on you. Or P100 if you don't. It's pretty much understood that taxi fares are rounded off to the nearest ten or twenty. Drivers call it tipping, passengers call it convenience-it is rather difficult to fish for change, isn't it? Despite this...
... Be ready with some change.
You've just handed the cashier a 500-peso bill to pay for a P110.65 purchase and she makes a face, then asks if you have smaller bills. Or 10 pesos and 65 centavos. Is it because they're too tired to count out your change? Maybe it's something they learn in training: a conspiracy to irritate customers they don't like (in other words, everyone).
Traffic-heavy traffic-is an everyday occurence.
You will probably experience it less than five minutes after you've left the airport. With little care for traffic rules and tiny roads-some say traffic rules really are just traffic suggestions- we sometimes wonder how we manage to get anywhere without being involved in a five-car pileup every single time we're on the road. Traffic stretches for miles on the highway, cars bumper to bumper with the occasional street vendor and morotcycle in between. Forget using main roads on rush hour, you're better off getting squeezed into the crevices of the MRT and possibly getting your eyes scratched out. Hence, a strengthened sense of Filipino Time.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Winter Ave Zoli (photos below) headlines Playboy Magazine's March 2011 issue, discusses her hit series "Sons of Anarchy", and explains to news how a career of bad girl roles is a stark contrast to her real life.
Winter Ave Zoli was born in the U.S. but was moved to Prague at age eleven. But she tells news this month, that by age thirteen, she was already determined to become a successful actress. By 19, she was back in New York and studying at David Mamet's Atlantic Theater Company.
After roles in "The Oh in Ohio," "The Pagan Queen" and "Hellboy" , she moved to the FX hit "Sons of Anarchy". But she tells Playboy this month that her roles bare no resemblance to her real life. "I spend as much time as possible at my stable in the Hollywood Hills," she tells Playboy "It keeps me sane."

In related news, Lamar Odom heated up the same publication for this month's issue. He tells Playboy that his relationship with Khloe Kardashian worked immediately since they both were interested in marriage. "Most people don't want to get married. Being married, that's a responsibility. I always used to tell that to women. I don't want a girlfriend because that means I've got a responsibility. I have a responsibility to call you."
Odom says responsibilities help a relationship. He says the two spend every free minute together. "I have a responsibility not to be with another woman. I have a responsibility to be there on time when you need me. With her I was like, If I do what I normally do, I'm going to lose her. And if I lose her, I think it's going to hurt a lot. Right then and there I knew. We were together every day."

During the last few weeks I wanted to talk about several things in this blog, some related to coding tecniques, some more personal, but I didn't have much time to do so. With the exception of this project and some collaborative work on a Ruby book, I didn't even have much time to code or be at the computer at all.
Nevertheless it has been a very exciting period, stressful but rich in hopes and challenges. In fact I've been so busy because on Friday I am finally moving to Canada, in the Toronto Area, where I will work for a great IT company. This is very exciting. The only weak note is that I had to get rid of my wide collection of IT books. The few ones that I'll be able to ship/bring with me are shown in the photo.
Anyways I look forward to living in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, working for one of the most respected companies – where I'm sure I'll be able to learn a lot (I've so much to learn!!) from some of the best minds out there. I know that there are lots of Ruby/Rails related activites and events in the GTA area, and I'm really looking forward to meeting other Rubyists and "Railists", maybe sipping a good coffee at the Linux Caffe.
Code is waiting to be written and doughnuts to be eaten

buona traversata
Also it is very cool you've been playing with an Interval Arithmetic library, I was thinking of doing the same for fun after I read an article about it recently, now I'm looking forward to your code
What, do they limit the number of books you're allowed to bring to Canada?
Buon viaggio man e in bocca al lupo!
Welcome to 'Tronna'!
Thank you so much guys. I really appreciate your comments. Dan, there is no limit on the number of books. The real problem is the luggage weight
Welcome to Toronto! I've been meaning to go to one of them TRUG meetings myself.. hopefully one of these days and hopefully a RoR group will form in the big T.O. soon…
When I moved to Canada, I brought about 20 boxes of books (not all IT of course), but it was a big truck I'd rented and I figured what the heck, though I ended up giving away most of those within a year lol!
I don't know if this applies to mail destined to Canada, but at least within the US, you can ship books very cheaply by using the USPS Media Rate. When I moved from SC to Puerto Rico, I shipped two large boxes full of books for about $20 each. Considering that's less than the cost of a single book, it was well worth the money.
Of course, there's a good chance that you can't ship Media Rate to Canada, but it might have been worth investigating. If you hadn't already gotten rid of your books, that is
Oh, and I'm a different Dan than the one who left that first question, even though I was replying to the same conversation thread

How do I propagate camellias? From katiesgirl
Adam says: Camellia is not an easy shrub to propagate, and I'll admit that I've never done it myself. However, when I worked on a commercial nursery in Surrey many years ago I did watch it being done.
Two techniques were used. The first was bench grafting, where a shoot from the flower variety was grafted onto the rootstock of a strong-growing camellia. This is a specialist technique, and was carried out by experienced propagators who had been grafting for years. Grafting was carried out on pot grown rootstocks early in the year, and plants kept in a warm greenhouse until the graft had taken.
The second technique is to take cuttings using shoot tips. Semi-ripe cuttings are taken in during summer/early autumn, dipping their cut ends in hormone rooting compound, and placing into an open, ericaceous compost in a propagator to root. Alternatively, try taking hardwood cuttings from autumn into winter, using a heated propagator to provide a temperature of around 16-20˚C to encourage rooting.
Be patient, as rooted cuttings can take 3-4 years to form a shrub carrying flowers.
I have oleander plants which have never flowered, although I've tried growing in pots as well as soil. They were grown from cuttings taken from my mother's plants that flowered all the time. What's the problem? From nulusaccmancieii
Adam says: I sympathise, as I've never had great success getting oleander (Nerium oleander) to flower outside in my Midlands garden. Commonly seen growing into large evergreen flowering shrubs in Mediterranean countries, the trick is to mimic these conditions in your own garden.
Oleander should be grown in a large pot using a loam-based compost, and pot will need moving indoors to a heated greenhouse or conservatory for much of the year. Once conditions warm up later in May the pots can be moved outside to a warm position in full sun. Choose a south-facing site if you have one, backed by a wall that warms in the sun. Plants require regular watering, especially in pots, although they'll tolerate drought. Give regular feeds with a high potash fertiliser to encourage flowering rather than leafy growth.
I have vine weevil in my containers. How can I treat them without affecting my flowers, and with what? From RobertEliott
Adam says: Vine weevil is a damaging pest. The adult weevils are a large grey beetle about 1-2cm long that eat notches out of the edges of leaves of many types of shrub. They're successful pests as they are all female, do not need to mate, and every weevil is capable of laying eggs!
These eggs are laid in soil or compost, and hatch into C-shaped cream-coloured grubs with brown heads that eat away at the roots and underground parts of numerous plants. They're very partial to cyclamen, begonia tubers, and the roots of strawberries, fuchsias, primulas, and many more. Root damage can cause plants to wilt or die.
Adults are usually active at night, so check plants, picking off and destroying any you find. Grubs discovered in compost should be squashed, but you won't have found them all. Treat compost or soil around plants with a biological control nematode or suitable pesticide. You'll need to completely drench compost so that the treatment comes into contact with the pests. Gardeners have come up with other innovative methods of control, like forming barriers around the edge of pots with petroleum gel or even standing pots on an island surrounded by a moat of water. An internet search could reveal more ideas.
The top leaves on a red acer tree have all turned brown, damaged by frost and bitter winds. Is it best to take the dead leaves off? From philipgardner
Adam says: This sounds like a Japanese maple, and I grow a couple in large patio pots. They're very susceptible to wind scorch, with some varieties growing best in a shaded position so that leaves don't get scorched in the sun.
Warm temperatures in March encouraged lots of plants into growth, only to be caught by the frost and cold weather that followed. Let's hope the cold just killed the leaves and not whole shoots, so carefully pick off the dry leaves to tidy the display. If new leaves don't sprout from these shoots by mid-summer then prune back to a leaf to remove the dead tip.
Keep acers in pots regularly watered, as drying winds can dehydrate and damage leaves. And next spring keep a large piece of fleece handy to throw over your acer to protect it if frost is forecast.
What appears to be black soot is covering the leaves on my pieris and rhododendron. What can I do? From sheddy
Adam says: This sounds like sooty mould, and I've found it in the past covering the surface of camellia leaves. This mould is growing on honeydew dripping down onto the leaf from above where a pest is feeding. The most likely pest is scale insect or possibly an aphid, so inspect the underside of leaves to see what you can find. Treat the pest with a suitable pesticide and you'll stop honeydew falling. Then gently wash off the sooty mould. This can get dry and hard, making it difficult to remove unless softened first with soapy water.
This layer of sooty mould does look unsightly and stop light reaching the leaves, so do spend time removing it. I've used a soft cloth or sponge to do this. Then give these and other ericaceous plants a generous liquid feed with a solution of iron sequestrene.
How can I prevent leatherjackets in my lawn? I've just had the turf relayed after first treating the area for pests, but how can I stop this happening again? From annie8
Adam says: Leatherjackets are large grubs feeding on grass and plant roots that hatch out into crane flies, or daddy longlegs, later in autumn.
Many pests are just part of our natural environment, like ants, so preventing them coming into your garden is not an option.
However, you may feel it is worth investing in a biological control treatment for your lawn to kill any leatherjackets that could still be feeding, hidden from your view. Most natural gardening companies sell biological controls, so ask them about treatments for leatherjackets. These are a microscopic nematodes that are mixed with water and applied to lawns and borders. The nematodes move through soil moisture to search out pests, releasing bacteria into them as they feed, killing the leatherjackets.
By reducing leatherjacket populations you'll stop the damage they cause, and also that of birds and other animals scratching away at your lawn to reach a tasty meal.
I've heard that Tenby daffodils (Narcissus obvallaris) reproduce from seed rather than by producing clumps of new bulbs. When is the best time to take the seed, and how do you get it to germinate in Yorkshire?
Adam says: The Tenby Daffodil is a lovely yellow species to naturalise in wild areas, flowering in February/March on short stems only about 25-30cm long. As far as I'm aware the bulbs will divide and form larger clumps year on year, so just water clumps with a liquid feed now that flowering is over to boost bulb development to improve flowering in future years. Most daffodils will form seed heads, and I prefer picking these off so that energy goes into bulb growth and is not wasted forming seeds. However, you could try leaving seed heads to fully ripen on plants. These could simply be left to shed their seed onto surrounding soil, where hopefully some will germinate and grow. Alternatively, collect ripe seeds and sow in large pots of compost. Keep seedlings in these pots for a couple of years so that a bulb develops before transplanting.
Then be patient, as bulbs usually take 3-4 years to reach flowering size from seed.

Jazz and Hip-Hop: Can They Really Mix?
Throughout the history of jazz, musicians have been inspired by developments in black popular music. Is the mixture of jazz and hip-hop one more positive example of this tendency at work? Or is it doomed to failure because these two performance styles have such incompatible elements, especially in the underlying pulse that animates the music? Jazz.com contributor Jared Pauley explores these matters and presents a mini-history of the courtship between jazz and hip-hop in this two-part article. T.G.
For well over a century now, jazz has been the chameleon of American music. It has incorporated elements from classical, Latin, world, funk and R&B. The very meaning of the word 'jazz' suggests that in order for it to be such the music must swing, among other criteria. In some regards this could be true, but I would like to argue that jazz represents just a portion of the broader landscape of African-American music. The use of categories and names of styles is unavoidable, but I feel that at times the process of labeling music restricts us as musicians, writers and listeners from recognizing the connections between sub-genres of music.
Case in point are the connections between jazz and hip-hop. Culturally, socially, and musically the two share more in common than some would acknowledge. From the 1960s up to today, jazz and hip-hop continue to borrow and experiment with each other. They both contain elements of improvisation; in hip-hop, free styling and DJing represent this, while in jazz much of the exchange between musicians is improvised. The idea of a "jazz tradition" can make it difficult to categorize musical efforts between people like Branford Marsalis and DJ Premier. But why must the rigidities of the canon and tradition reject the musical offerings of the 1970s and beyond as questionable? To do this trivializes the entire legacy of how the word 'jazz' came to mean what it does. It is my opinion that the experimentations between jazz and hip-hop represent just one of the examples that put this hypocrisy to test. Just because sound doesn't conform to a certain standard doesn't disqualify it from being called jazz.
In 1960, Max Roach and Abbey Lincoln recorded We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite. Though categorized as jazz, Lincoln's vocals and Roach's playing are by most standards not all that jazzy. This record dealt with issues facing black America. Lincoln's and Roach's performances achieved a feverish pitch that can still be felt when heard today. Their collective approach to dealing with subject matter in their art is no different than the efforts of Public Enemy in the late 1980s. Hip-hop acts clearly paid odes to people like this and (for example) John Coltrane, who also deeply explored spirituality in his music through works which dealt with similar subject matter.
In the mid-1960s, with the introduction of avant-garde, R&B and soul influences in jazz, the storied critic with his own definition of what defines jazz was put to the challenge. This period, including the crisscrossing patterns of jazz during the 1970s, helped spin the community into enough circles that it hasn't recovered to this day. We are still debating whether to include or exclude certain musicians and recordings because they don't live up to various expectations. Thus, as writers, people with supposed objectivity, we have failed in some ways to give jazz its proper respect and analysis. Excluding people has long been part of the jazz critical tradition, yet enough time has passed that the tradition is more indefinable and open than ever.
Hip-hop began to emerge in the late 1960s just as jazz was undergoing another transformation. The work of the Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron represent the arguable seed of plantation for hip-hop music. The Last Poets' 1970 self-titled album and their 1971 release This is Madness broadcasted poetry concerning civil rights, poverty and universal struggle over a single percussionist, Poets' member Nilaja. Gil Scott-Heron's albums were also well known and very influential. His 1971 album Pieces of a Man was a huge record in its day. The influence of his song "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" on the emergence of hip-hop is undeniable. Whether coincidence or not, featured on the 3-day session were seasoned jazz bassist Ron Carter and jazz flutist Hubert Laws. This was one of the first widely heard recordings on which jazz artists and a spoken-word artist had met on vinyl.
By 1973, DJ Kool Herc, a naturalized Jamaican, was flooding the South Bronx, New York with his technique of putting breaks in records. This technique involved spinning the same two records at once and thus resulted in the DJ being able to manipulate the sound spectrum. Emerging from this came the vocal styling born in Jamaica called toasting. With toasting, the DJ rhymed in certain sequences, and eventually this technique gave birth to the modern emcee. With the emergence of the emcee, hip-hop was now a multi-defined culture with bold elements of improvisation, with DJing and emceeing at the forefront.
In 1983, Herbie Hancock along with producer Bill Laswell changed popular music with their single "Rockit" from Hancock's album Future Shock. The single prominently featured DJ Grand Master D.ST on turntables. This marked one of the first times in which scratching had been used on a popular recording. And it is no coincidence that Hancock, the jazz chameleon himself, was involved in one of the first popular fusions of jazz and hip-hop. In the late 1980s, especially in New York City, African-American culture was a melting pot. Hip-hop's first golden era was born in 1986, and many of its proprietors embraced jazz music, citing its influence from the use of vocal deliveries emulating horn rhythms to the actual samples themselves.

Jared - Ted's headline was so provocative that I had to read it! But I have to say, your thesis is most interesting & compelling. Mel

beautiful. nice to see someone throw out some solid examples of jazz in hip hop.
// Sep 28, 2008 at 06:08 AM
Jazz is not a form of notation or a statement on which principles must be embodied in technical performances. People can teach you to mimic a pattern, or inspire you but can they teach you to sound like yourself? You have to Do what you Do and tell YOUR story. People always want to analyze creative forms but the origin or the creative spirit is formless, empty. It is an impact of events and phenomena on us that makes us need to play out a narrative in song. Jazz is the use of letting go, being detached. The most awe inspiring musicians play with the effortless mastery of a landscape they want to change, to be perpetual and to receive influence from just like life itself. Jazz is a vehicle for mediation and it will always be at the forefront only because human experience and self knowledge is the forefront of being human.

Jared, Nice article, and it's right on. My band C Phineas, just released our new album "The Breakdown". With 3 saxophones, and emcee and a singer, I think that it's the best mix of modern jazz and hip-hop out there. Check it out, and keep up the good work. - Chris Smith

Visit Aveiro - the "Venice of Portugal"
Friday, 14 May 2010 00:00
Located on
Day Life
Often called the Venice of Portugal, Aveiro is surrounded by salt-flats, beaches and lagoons. The city is built on a Central Canal running through town. They canals are dotted with the famous moliceiros – brightly painted seaweed gathering boats that look similar to the ships of the ancient world. Aveiro was a prosperous port city until the end of the 17th century when the entrance to the harbor filled with silt.
This economic slow-down helped preserve the city's rich history and culture. Visitors will find an inviting mix of 16th century, maritime, and early 20th century Art Nouveau architecture that was largely left unchanged for centuries.
Aveiro's main museum, housed in the former Jesus Monastery, displays the mementoes of Santa Joana, the daughter of King Afonso V. Nearby is the city's 15th century São Domingos cathedral and the Carmelite Church, decorated with paintings depicting the life of St Teresa. Another popular site is the Misericórdia Church, which dates back to the 16th century. To the south lies the Vista Alegre Museum that details the history of the famous Vista Alegre porcelain from the 1850s to present day.
At the edge of town, visitors can look for music and art showings at a former tile factory that was converted into a cultural center with eight performance and exhibit spaces. If shopping is on the agenda, a new, outdoor market is nearby.
The best way to see Aveiro, however, is to catch a ride on a traditional moliçeiro and take in the sites by canal.
There are two main clubs, known as "discotecas" in Portuguese, around the Aveiro area. The most famous one is called Estaçao da Luz, literally "station of light." (www.estacaodaluz.com). This sophisticated club and bar is located in an industrial part of Aveiro and is best reached by taxi. Visitors will find an upbeat mix of house music and pop, and a smaller dance floor that features salsa music.
If you are looking for a delicious local cocktail, head to Quest where they serve the "caipirinha," a drink made with rum and lime and often mixed with fresh fruit, like strawberries. For those who want to club hop, go to the Praça do Peixe, or fish market square. By day, fish mongers sell their catches, but by night the young people of Aveiro flock to the spot. The square offers a variety of bars that stay open until 3 a.m. in the winter and 4 a.m. in the summer.
The Mercado Negro, or black market, is in an Art Nouveau building, but inside has been transformed with modern design. The club also serves as a cultural space and shopping center. For alternative and rock music, go to Clandestino and for the best sangria in town, head to Botirao along the Canal de São Roque. This traditional night spot is where you'll find the locals dancing the bossa nova.
Directly above the Aveiro fish market is the Mercado do Peixe Restaurant, serving fish in a relaxed, minimalist décor. The glass and steel room overlooks the picturesque neighborhood and canals, and kitchen serves up signature dishes like the mussel soup, grilled mackerel and mixed grilled fish.
For a gorgeous view of the water and delicious seafood, travel to the edge of Aveiro to the Clube de Vela da Costa Nova. Located on the beach and directly overlooking a marina, the restaurant offers excellent fish dishes, such as clams and shrimp in garlic sauce, monkfish casserole with rice, and fried calamari with olives and tuna pate. Three-course meals are affordable at about $44. The Clube de Vela da Costa Nova is a 15-minute drive from downtown Aveiro by taxi or bus. For a more adventurous journey, take an exhilarating 45-minute boat ride through the marshes and channels forming the estuary of the Aveiro River.
New Hotels
The Meliá Ria Hotel at Cais da Fonte Nova opened in 2005 in a residential neighborhood at the centre of Aveiro. Located next to the Cultural and Congress Center and train station, the hotel overlooks the lake formed by the River Ria de Aveiro. The Meliá Ria is a short distance from the historical heart of the city and a few miles from the beaches.
The three-star Hotel Moliceiro is located in the center of Aveiro and is a good home base for side trips throughout the region. This charming and elegant spot opposite the boat landing also offers a convenient entrance to travel throughout the city. A recently opened new wing has luxurious double rooms at an affordable price. The hotel also boasts an excellent restaurant and a small business center.

Maestro Hybrid Bracing System uses combination of materials to compliment the soundboard. Through years of building guitars, we found out that by using a specific material for a specific bracing part will collectively affect both the tonality and strength of the top. For example, Hozen finds that a Cedar top is best paired with Adirondack Spruce bracing with Ultra Bracing System on the traverse bar. The pairing of the bracing and top is done by Hozen and is only available on Select Shop guitars built from 2014 and Maestro Custom Shop.

Thanks to a real doofus move on our part, we recently spent a couple nights in the hospital. Let's just say that getting someone to hold the ladder is important. The one good thing that came out of the experience (it certainly wasn't the medical bill) was the discovery of Remedy Foaming Body Cleanser ($7) in the hospital bathroom. This no-rinse body wash gently cleanses, hydrates, and nurtures skin. We ordered a couple bottles of this stuff once we got home, putting one in our gym bag, one in the car, and one in the shower. We have learned our lesson about ladder safety, though we continue to work on washing the bitter pain of embarrassment (and sometimes the bitter pain of, well, pain) away with this cleanser.

College Hockey:Alaska Blanks Connecticut
Walls Keys Win
ANCHORAGE — Alaska Fairbanks struck 35 seconds into the game, added two more goals before the first period ended, and ran away with a 5-0 victory over Connecticut in the third game of the Kendall Hockey Classic Saturday at the Sullivan Arena.
UAF senior right wing Braden Walls, the Kendall Toyota Player of the Game, slammed home a rebound of senior center Adam Naglich's shot past UConn goalie Beau Erickson 35 seconds in as fans still filed into their seats.
The Nanooks kept things rolling, as sophomore right wing Ryan Hohl stole a pass in the Husky zone near the blue line and streaked down the ice.
Hohl got the puck to sophomore center Derek Klassen, who skated behind the UConn goal and tried a quick shot on the left side. The rebound slid to Hohl, who punched the puck past Erickson's glove side with 15:15 left in the first.
UAF closed scoring in the first with a goal from Dustin Sather with 1:30 left. Junior center Dion Knelsen and freshman defenseman Aaron Gens picked up assists on the score.
After a scoreless second period, the Nanooks got on the board early in the third on a tally from Naglich with 19:23 left in the game. Sophomore left wing Kevin Petovello and Walls earned helpers on the play.
The Nanooks closed scoring when junior left wing Cody Rymut beat Erickson 8:37 into the third. Dion Knelsen and Naglich assisted on the score.
UAF, which won a shootout for tournament title purposes following a 2-2 tie with Northeastern on Friday night, improved its chances of its first ever Kendall Classic championship. The Nanooks were 0-4-0 in two previous Classic appearances in 1985 and 1986.
Nanooks' freshman goalie Scott Greenham earned the shutout win, but was rarely tested, making 13 saves. The Nanooks outshot the Huskies 33-13. Erickson finished the game with 28 saves for UConn. The Huskies were scoreless in five power play chances but the Nanooks didn't fare much better with a 1-for-5 effort on the man advantage.
Classic play continues tonight with the late game between Alaska Anchorage and Northeastern. The Seawolves, who won 6-2 over Connecticut on Friday night, can claim their sixth Classic title and fourth in the last six years with a victory over Northeastern.

You may be covered for the cost of Attends incontinence products through an insurance plan, through a government program, through a flexible spending account (FSA) or through a health savings account (HSA).
Government Programs
There are government programs that provide reimbursement for qualified medical expenses:
- On a local level –county offices that provide services to the aging
- On a state level – Medicaid
The definition of a "qualified medical expense" varies, and the list of covered product categories can change from program to program, but they generally include adult incontinence supplies.
Expenses for incontinence products may be tax deductible if you can demonstrate that they are needed as a result of a specific medical condition. According to IRS guidelines, "You cannot include in medical expenses the amount you pay for diapers or diaper services, unless they are needed to relieve the effects of a particular disease."
It is always a good idea to have a letter from your doctor that addresses your medical need for incontinence products.
Insurance, HSAs, and FSAs
Through a health insurance plan, you submit receipts for the cost of Attends products, and the insurance provider may reimburse you. Both HSA and FSA accounts operate in a similar way; generally, you send receipts to a plan administrator and receive a reimbursement check.
Diaper Banks
Diaper banks are an exchange where diapers are donated by individuals, companies, and organizations. The bank then makes them available to people who need diapers but who cannot afford to purchase them. The diapers are available through nonprofit organizations, churches and synagogues, and school family resource centers.
Most diaper banks are focused on the needs of parents with newborns, but many include adult incontinence products. Find out more about a diaper bank near you.
Keep Your Receipts
No matter how you seek reimbursement for your incontinence supplies, be sure to keep all receipts.

One great healthy eating habit to get into is reading the ingredient label before buying anything off of the grocery shelf. The fewer chemicals and processed food substances that are in a product, the healthier it is. In fact, many dietitians are now saying that if possible, you should avoid food additives completely.
Food writer Michael Pollan makes the suggestion that if your grandmother wouldn't recognize it as food, don't eat it.
That's not to say you should avoid things in the produce section just because you are unfamiliar with it. Smart phones make it possible to look up foods right from the grocery store, so you can learn about different foods. While items like celery and tomatoes are familiar to us, there are many other things on the shelf that you may not have a clue how to use. Root vegetables like sun chokes and jicima may be unfamiliar to most people, but they are real foods, and can be a part of a healthy diet.
However there are many things that are included in processed foods that aren't naturally occurring. Some food additives have obvious chemical names. Names like'calcium sulfate' or 'thyamin hydrochloride' are in many foods that are on the shelf. There are some other items that may not sound like they come from a laboratory, bat many of them do. Items like high fructose corn syrup or citric acid are processed items that are added to your food.
Many processed foods also contain artificial and natural coloring and flavoring. Unfortunately, labeling laws don't require food processors to list exactly what those 'natural' ingredients are. The only specifications is that they must come from a natural source. It doesn't say that those ingredients aren't processed. They are.
A good general rule of thumb is, if you don't recognize it as being a naturally occurring food, don't include it in your diet.
They jury is still out on the overall long-term health risks associated with processed foods. More studies are coming out on a regular basis that call into question the safety of the many additives that we are including in our daily meals.
What is commonly agreed upon is that minimally processed food is the healthiest. Stick with foods that are closer to the way nature provides them, and you will be well on your way to a healthy eating plan.

Singer-songwriter Phillip Phillips released his new single "Raging Fire" on Sunday (March 2). The upbeat anthem previews his upcoming second album.
Phillips rose to prominence in 2012 as a winner on "American Idol." His coronation song "Home" was a force to be reckoned with on the music charts soon after. The aforementioned track along with follow-up single "Gone, Gone, Gone" pushed his debut album "The World from the Side of the Moon" to platinum sales in the U.S. "Raging Fire" is the lead single from Phillips' second album.
Phillips found success in the folk-pop genre with his debut so he takes on more of that sound with "Raging Fire." Strings now accompany the track's upbeat jangle and thump production. Phillip embraces the heat of the moment when he sings, "Come out / come out / Won't you turn my soul into a raging fire?" His raw vocals only fan the flames of revelry and excitement. "Raging Fire" sounds like it could set the charts ablaze with Phillips' name once again.
Phillips' second album is set to be released later this year. He will return to "American Idol" on March 6 to perform "Raging Fire" for the first time.
