Whole Foods Amazing Tuna Salad Made Skinny
The first time I tasted this colorful tuna salad was at Whole Foods on Columbus Circle in NYC. I fell in love with the flavor and knew I had to make a skinny version at home! Light mayonnaise, dried cranberries, fresh dill and chopped apples are some of the yummy ingredients used to make this skinny version so fabulous! I added even more apples and celery then they do. The skinny for 1 serving, 205 calories, 8 grams fat and 5 Weight Watchers SmartPoints. I like to eat it scooped into a small dish or on top of 1 romaine lettuce leaf. You can make it as a sandwich or spread on reduced-fat crackers too. Whichever way you choose to serve it, it's really, really delicious!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
1 (5.25 oz) can of white albacore tuna, (water packed) drained well
½ cup chopped apples, such as Gala, Fuji or Honeycrisp, unpeeled
⅓ cup celery, chopped
¼ cup diced scallions or red onions
3 tablespoons dried sweetened cranberries
3 tablespoons Best Foods Light mayonnaise (Hellman's Light)
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 romaine lettuce leaves, optional
1. Add all the ingredients to a bowl, except lettuce. Mix well to combine.
2. Scoop about 1 cup of tuna into a small dish or bowl. Or, line 2 plates with a romaine lettuce leaf. Scoop about 1 cup tuna onto each lettuce leaf.
Makes 2 servings (each serving, about 1 cup)
Food Fact
Tuna fish is a member of the mackerel family. It's found in warmer waters in the Indian, Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean oceans. Tuna's probably the most popular fish used for canning today. About 3.5 million metric tons are fished commercially each year.
Healthy Benefits
Tuna is great lean protein when packed in water. It's rich in omega-3 nutrients, known to raise HDL (good cholesterol) and lower LDL (bad cholesterol).
You'll cut the sodium content by rinsing the can of tuna after it's drained. Open the can, drain the water and while still in the can, run fresh water over the tuna and drain again.
Serving Tips
I like to eat it scooped into a small dish. But, you can make it as a sandwich, serve on top of some field greens, over chopped romaine lettuce or spread on reduced-fat crackers. It makes a very generous portion per serving and is very filling!

This was pretty good. I put the apple (yellow) in a food processor. The pieces were maybe a little too small.
There was a slight sweetness that was missing. This salad would be better with canned chicken, but still nice. I added halved grapes too.
Decent recipe, thank you

This is a keeper, and very similar to what I already make. I love fresh chives in place of onion (scallions are great too). This is also a great way to use leftover roast chicken or turkey. Another option if using turkey or chicken: omit the dill and add curry powder to taste, and a lot of halved grapes. And I like a large romaine leaf for a lettuce roll (no PP in that!).

Becki, other than tuna, these recipes are different. The Buffalo Tuna is made with my skinny ranch dressing, which is lower in calories than the light mayo, which is used in the Whole Foods tuna. In addition, the serving size is different. The Buffalo tuna is for 1/2 cup. The Whole Foods tuna serving size is 1 cup. And the dried cranberries do add more to the SmartPoints.
I hope this helps.
All the best,

Beyond the Kindertransport
Viennese children arrive in London on the Kindertransport. PHOTO ©AUSTRIAN NATIONAL LIBRARY (Repressed Years: The Austrian Railways and National Socialism Between 1938-1945, Exhibition)
By Frederick Koppl '52
Most people come to Thunderbird to study global business. Not me. I came in 1950 because campus photographs showed two swimming pools in a desert oasis. As a young Polish immigrant and World War II veteran selling electrical testing equipment in frigid Illinois and neighboring states, the promise of year-round sunshine appealed to me.
I first read about Thunderbird in a lobby magazine while waiting for a client on a sales call. The article showed images of pristine swimming pools surrounded by palm trees and grass, which looked more like a country club to me than an institute for international trade. "Perfect," I thought. "I could use a vacation." Thanks to the G.I. Bill of Rights, everything would be free. While my classmates attended lectures and wrote papers, I would relax poolside and soak up the sun. I knew admissions officials probably would expel me after one semester for academic failure — but that would be plenty of time to recuperate from the harsh Chicago winters and rethink my life.
World War II had taken a deep personal toll, and I needed time to reflect. I was a child when Hitler came to power, but old enough to grasp what it meant to be Jewish in my birthplace of Danzig, an independent city-state that rejoined Poland after the war. In August 1938, during the height of the anti-Semitic pogroms in Danzig, my parents sent me to attend school in Bodenbach/Podmokly on the border of Germany and the former Czechoslovakia. The journey of 900 kilometers was not far enough to escape Hitler's reach.
One month after my arrival, Nazi agents negotiated the infamous Munich Agreement, which permitted the German annexation of the Sudetenland region of the former Czechoslovakia. When Hitler's army marched into the area, I left for Prague to stay with my grandparents. What happened next remains difficult to describe. My grandparents put me on a train in March 1939 when I was 16 and sent me to England to live with strangers. Many other children came with me. We left Prague by special transport and headed north through Poland to the port of Gdynia. Then we boarded a freighter to Harwich across the Baltic and North Seas.
The rescue mission, called the Kindertransport, eventually saved about 10,000 Jewish children from the Holocaust. My foster parents, Arthur and Dorothy Williams, were Quakers who helped me start life anew in a foreign land. One month after my journey from Prague, Hitler took over the rest of the former Czechoslovakia. My grandparents were taken to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in the garrison city of Terezín, where they died. My father died of natural causes during the war, leaving only my mother. We were eventually reunited after the war, but our relationship was forever changed.
When people read the Biblical story of Moses, they often gloss over the pain his mother surely felt when she placed her baby in a basket and sent him away to live with strangers. This is just one detail in the narrative: "And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river's brink."
My mother and thousands of other desperate parents and grandparents experienced similar pain firsthand during World War II. The children of the Kindertransport also experienced the pain of separation. We struggled to reconcile feelings of anger, betrayal, guilt, sadness, confusion, gratitude, relief and even joy.
The Quaker practices of tolerance, social engagement, pragmatism, community spirit and love helped in my healing process. The only thing I could not identify with was my foster parents' absolute pacifism. All Quakers were conscientious objectors to the war and, as such, freed from military service. With my childhood experiences from the pogroms in Danzig, not being prepared to fight evil seemed like a sacrilege. My feelings have softened since then, but those were my emotions at the time.
Shortly after reaching adulthood, while in the United Kingdom, I enlisted in the U.S. Army. My unit landed in Le Havre, France, in November 1944. When the war in Europe ended in May 1945, I was serving with the 3rd U.S. Army in southern Germany. I stayed for another year in the army of occupation before receiving an honorable discharge at the rank of sergeant.
The great wartime leader Winston Churchill helped shape my sentiments after the war. On Sept. 19, 1946, he spoke in the Great Hall at the University of Zurich about the tragedy of Europe. He made a plea to all Europeans to start working toward a unified Europe, and I became a pacifist and bridge builder in the spirit of my foster parents. This history is part of the baggage I brought with me to the Thunderbird "country club."
I did more than swim and sunbathe in Arizona, of course. My therapy also included playing bridge. But I never went to class. Then one Tuesday early in the semester something unexpected happened. I laid out my towel in the usual spot and waited for some poolside company to appear. But nobody came. The whole campus seemed deserted. Did I miss a U.S. holiday? Did somebody die? An hour later a few classmates reappeared, and I called to the first person I could find. "Hey! What's going on?" I asked. "Where is everybody?"
"We were at Bill Schurz's lecture," my friend replied. "Sorry you missed it."
I knew William Lytle Schurz was president of the school. He was a founding professor who filled the president's office when Lt. Gen. Barton Kyle Yount died on July 11, 1949. But what was so special about his lectures that he could turn the campus into a ghost town? I decided to investigate. The first class I attended startled me. I discovered that Professor Schurz, who spent years in South America during the war, could captivate audiences on just about any extemporaneous topic. He would step to the podium, think for a moment and then say something like: "Today I am going to tell you about the Araucan tribe in Chile." Then he would talk for an hour and make it fascinating.
Students filled every seat in the largest hall on campus — and then sat in the aisles on the floor — to hear every word. No other professor could hold class during these lectures because everybody wanted to listen while the diplomat, scholar and businessman imparted his wisdom. Professor Schurz also cared deeply about the Thunderbird family. He knew every student on campus and got involved in their lives. For many of us, he became a father figure. This is reflected in his graduation message the first year I attended.
"I persist in getting emotionally involved about all of you and having a personal stake in your futures," he said. "It isn't just because you have been living so close to me all this year and because I have had something to do with training you to live abroad. Maybe it is partly because so many of you will be going to places where I have lived and for which I have a deep nostalgia. So I live vicariously in the cities where you will live. … You will be a part of my far-flung family, and I hope to hear from you as if you were really sons and daughters of mine."
This was more than I bargained for when I came to Thunderbird! I started going to class, writing papers and studying with my classmates. When I graduated in 1952, I started my own global career in the footsteps of Professor Schurz. My first job after leaving Thunderbird involved sales for the A.O. Smith Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, covering the west coast of South America from Cali, Colombia, to Santiago, Chile, selling oil country goods and irrigation equipment. I discovered a new world full of possibilities the day nobody came to the pool.
Frederick Koppl '52 has worked as a sales professional and manager in Latin America, Europe, Southeast Asia and Australia. He is retired and lives in Munich, Germany. This story is based on details shared in spring 2011 with Daryl James, Thunderbird Director of Editorial Content. Koppl also shared a version of this story at the 2010 alumni reunion in Bad Ischl, Austria.
The Refugee Children Movement and other organizations cooperated before World War II to bring about 10,000 unaccompanied children to England by train, plane and freighter.
- Nov. 15, 1938: Jewish leaders petition British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to ease immigration requirements for unaccompanied refugee children.
- Nov. 22, 1938: The British Cabinet passes a bill to accommodate the refugees. Efforts begin to identify at-risk children and to locate foster families.
- Dec. 2, 1938: The first rescue mission arrives at Harwich, England, bringing 196 children from a Berlin orphanage burned by the Nazis.
- Dec. 10, 1938: A transport from Vienna carries 600 children.
- March 1939: Transports from Prague are hastily organized after Nazi forces invade Czechoslovakia. Fred Koppl '52 boards one of these trains.
- Sept. 1, 1939: The last Kindertransport leaves Germany on the same day Nazi forces invade Poland. (Another transport attempts to leave Prague on Sept. 3, 1939, but is turned back. The mission survives underground until May 14, 1940, when a freighter from the Netherlands carries the last known group of child refugees to England.)

Why It's Really Sad That Cory Monteith is Dead
7/14/2013 7:00 AM PDT, by Sarah Taylor
Obviously, it goes without saying that it's sad that Cory Monteith has passed away at the age of 31, because it's a loss for the humankind as a whole. Death is a part of life, but unexpected death always cuts deep, even if there's a history of prior significant issue, like substance abuse.
As you all might already know, Cory Monteith passed away yesterday at a hotel in Canada, and there are multiple sources claiming that it might have been due to an overdose. Sources say that Cory had gone out with friends on Friday night, returned to the hotel alone in the early hours of Saturday morning, and was discovered by hotel staff when he'd missed check-out time.
In prior interviews, Cory admitted to previously being into "anything and everything, as much as possible," and had been in rehab by the age of 19 as well as earlier this year.
Cory lived like everybody else. Cory's last tweet read, "what the crap is a Sharknado ... oh. IT'S A SHARK TORNADO." Cory was just likable. Relatable.
Cory is your son. Your brother. Your best friend. Your old college roomie. Your father, neighbor, or favorite grocery store bagger, and he maybe didn't get the help he needed, and now he's gone. That's what makes this thing the saddest.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm not emotionally ready for Lea Michele's statement. Not when she's been posting stuff like this:
If I ain't got nothing.. I got you. If I ain't got something I don't give a damn cause I got it with you.. And it's me and you... <3 #1+1
RIP, Cory.

The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi baseball team suffered a third straight loss to Texas State and its seventh overall on Sunday as they fell 10-2 in the series finale of their Southland Conference opening series at Whatabuger Field.
The Islanders (1-7, 0-3) committed five errors in the game, while allowing 11 hits. Meanwhile, the offense managed five hits off Bobcat starter Brian Borski and seven on the night.
"You would like to have something after a weekend like this to hang your hat on that you did positive whether it was getting good swings, playing good defense," said Islander head coach Scott Malone. "We're not doing anything well right now. We'll go back make some changes and see if we can get some things going against the Broncs."
After Texas State scored a run in the first, they scored three in the second. Adam Witek led off the inning with a walk and moved third on a double by Jason Martinson. Witek came home on a sacrifice fly by Jordan Kopycinski. Martinson scored on a ground ball by Bret Atwood. The final run scored when Tyler Sibley, who drew one of three Roy Ferdin walks, plated on a error by Martin Parra with two outs.
The score remained 4-0 until the fifth when Texas State scored four unearned runs. Ferdin appeared to be in control in the inning as he sandwiched a pair of fly outs around a Kyle Livingstone double. With two away, Martinson reached on an error by Parra, who had two in the game, with Livingstone scoring. Following a single by Kopycinski, Martinson scored on a double by Sibley. Atwood finished the scoring with a two-run single.
A&M-Corpus Chirsti, which had one runner in scoring position in the first six innings, crossed the plate in the sixth with its first run. Chris Famiglietti reached on a throwing error by the Bobcats and moved to third on a single by Jeramie Marek. Justin Greiner's sacrifice fly drove in the run off Brian Borksi.
Texas State's final two runs came in the eighth RBI doubles by Paul Goldschmidt and Witek.
In the ninth, Ernie Olivarez tallied TAMUCC's final run after leading the inning off with a single against reliever Lance Loftin. He went to second as Jacob Perales walked and to third Matt Rocha picked up his first college hit. Olivarez came home when Jacob Perez hit into a double play.
Borski moved to 2-0 for the Bobcats. The righty scattered five hits over eight innings with a walk and four strikeouts. He was the third starter in as many days to toss eight straight innings.
Ferdin dropped to 1-1 on the year. He tossed five innings allowing eight runs with just three earned on eight hits. Phillip Garcia tossed two scoreless innings before Trey Hernandez went one inning allowing two runs on three hits. Bryant Sparkman was perfect in the ninth.
Perales and Montgomery led the Islanders with two hits apiece, while Sibley, Atwood and Goldschmidt each had two hits in the contest. Atwood drove in three runs and Goldschmidt two.
The Islanders return to action on Tuesday when they visit Texas-Pan American for a doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m. They return home on Thursday to face Alabama at 6 p.m. in the first game of the Whataburger College Classic.

The first ghostly shades of purple and rose marked the low-hanging clouds that hid the eastern horizon. The light rose until their edges were limned with copper fire that steadily brightened until they looked like knife blades of flaming gold. It was the start of a new day, one eagerly anticipated by all the kingdom since the first thaws of spring. The whole world seemed to stir with fitful eagerness, the ringing of the chapel and cathedral bells all over town marking the daily ritual of the monks and priests performing the Prime office of religion, their sacred calling. Fallominster had precedence over all others, their bells rang first, longest, and most ornately across the city where the sovereign rested. Despite the fête, the sacred world turned ever on. Those of the cloth received no days off, no holidays from their sacred duties.
All over the city of Fallond, the servants rose first, and all the lesser folk who must make do for themselves along with them. The maidservants and housewives wended their ways to the nearest water, wells, aqueducts, fountains or streams, still yawning. They filled their jugs and buckets, swapping talk with their kin and neighbors, and maybe indulging in a quick splash of water themselves to wake up before lugging their wet burdens sloshing home again. The wells, fountains, and country streams and the roads and paths serving them were very busy of mornings with the people drawing water for the morning work at home, and moreso this morning for the holiday. Everyone wanted to look their very best today, so bathing was a must.
The members of the merchant class rose and prepared for what promised to be a more than profitable second day for the showing of their wares, if history were to repeat itself, which it commonly did on this day. Soldiers rose with the morning bells to relieve the night watch at the towers and all along the walls of the great city and in the castles within and all around it, and all over the kingdom for that matter, while the people of the night, the padfoots, knaves, and sneak-thieves and all those of ill-repute, slunk through the early morning shadows back to their scattered holes to hide.
A scabrous yet unremarkable old man in poor but common clothing stood leaning on a walking stick of a dark and twisted wood in the mouth of a deeply shadowed alley on the far side of the square before the north gate that pierced the pale buttery stone walls of the faire grounds. His wretched and scraggly hair stood awry from lack of care, looking for all the world like any of a thousand of the other poor to be found in the city streets of fair Fallond.
A dirt-smudged, rag-wrapped street urchin cowered on the muddy cobblestones before him, looking like some dirty animal lurking where the shadows were deepest. The filthy, almost faceless urchin didn't seem to have a name, as far as the old man knew, only the usual moniker such as his street folk often favored. This one was 'Spider', and had a reputation for being able to get into anywhere, unseen, and often brought the most interesting news.

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
Moore's law is simply stated: the number of transistors on an integrated-circuit logic device doubles roughly every two years. This pace is accomplished through a combination of greater transistor density and larger devices. The greater transistor density causes problems in the interconnect structure—the array of miniature wires (and insulating materials) that distribute power and clock signals to the transistors. Wires in the interconnect structure begin to interfere with each other through a phenomenon called "cross-talk" when they become too close, and cross-talk causes devices to slow. Incorporation of low-dielectric constant (low-k) insulators into the interconnect structure of advanced integrated circuits will eliminate cross-talk but such incorporation remains a major technological challenge facing the microelectronics industry.

Super responsive Host, beautiful apartment in perfect location. Can highly recommend Marcus place.
Thanks a million!
The apartment was perfect for our stay: Great decor, well equipped kitchen, great views of the city from the two balconies. We felt very comfortable...
Marcus is a very friendly and uncomplicated host, who makes you feel very welcomed.
The location was also great, all the shops,bars and parks in the immediate vicinity and the center is only three metro stations away. I can only recommend it!
We highly recommend Marcus' Penthouse. It is good located, 20 minutes walk from the center and with a metro station very close, with direct line to the airport.
Marcus is an excellent guy and he was very attentive with anything we need it. The penthouse is comfortable with all comodities you may need.
Very nice apartment with split level floors and patios. The location in Frederiksberg is not really in the Central City but there is a Metro station very close by, so it's easy to stay here and use the Metro and visit all high lights off Copenhagen. The distence and walking to the Centre from the apatment is anyhow also acceptable. The apartment itself gaves us a comfirtable feeling of being at home with a slight touch of the `Danish design' interior.
kind regards
the apartment is really nice. the kitchen is well appionted. the stereo system is one of the best i ever listen:-) and the rest of the apartement is also excellent
thank you
We had a great stay at Marcus' Apartment, well located to easily reach City Center with a Metro Station nearby. Restaurants of each category and supermarkets in the vicinity make the stay there even more attractive.
The apartment has a nice room layout in 3 different levels. The modern kitchen is fully equipped. So everything is cosy and comfortable.
Thanks to Marcus for his quick and friendly responses to my questions. His apartment is in a perfect location for access to Copenhagen, really close to the metro line that takes you into the city, we managed to see a lot of the sights in our 4 night trip. It is located on a main street with plenty of restuarants, cafes and shops, in a nice area. You could hear the road from the front bedroom but it died down later on at night. The front bedroom bed is rather small. The 2 cats were there during our stay and kept us entertained. No door on the back bedroom meant the inquisitive cat could roam in the room at night. Other than that the apartment was well catered and suited all 4 of us. Thanks again.
A very nice apartment , very bright and very pleasant.
Excellent location : Metro 100m , 3 or 4 small supermarkets around , quiet area, gardens, a half hour walk down to the city center .
An ideal place for a sunny weekend in Copenhagen.
Thank you to Marcus ( and a caress to tomcats !)
This apartment is really easy to find - right near the metro which takes you into the centre very quickly.. it is also near lots f bars, restaurants and bus routes - so you can pretty much get everywhere you want.
Marcus was very efficient with instructions and meeting us. We loved the apartment - bright, spacious, comfortable and a magnificently well equipped kitchen. As the weather wasn't great having a lovely apartment to hang out in was ideal.
The only downside is that Marcus has cats and whilst they weren't there, their hair was.

Many people think that unique musical voices are born with their individual visions in tact; in reality, these approaches evolve over the course of years, resulting from diverse experiences and artistic associations. These individuals most likely show some sort of interest in music or an aptitude for the art form at a young age, and hopefully they have an easily accessible path to indulge their curiosity. Family or community members can be important parts of this stage, helping supply instruments or performance opportunities. Once they develop some performance skills though, the individual needs to find their own path; some find it quickly while others take their time, but eventually they connect with different musicians. The shared experiences with their peers will define their identity and shape their musical concepts. The direction of these experiences will vary but their impact will always weigh heavily upon the artist. Performances obviously exert the strongest influence upon the development of a musical identity; each setting provides examples of different methods and the application of new ideas. Exposure to a wide variety of listening experiences also help expand an artist's horizon as friends share recordings and take them to concerts, opening new perspectives onto the musical world. There's a wealth of possibilities for musical development, and as long as a musician takes the opportunity to process them through their own lenses, they'll create a unique direction. With each passing experience, the musician grows into a stronger artist with a more defined identity – this consistently pushes them towards leadership roles.
Pianist Oscar Hernandez started the road towards becoming one of the most distinctive voices in Latin dance music and jazz early in the his life and kept evolving through many different experiences. As a child in the Bronx, he showed an early aptitude for musical performance, and moved through a variety of different instruments. Access to a family piano eventually steered him towards a focus, and the existence of an active set of musical peers helped instigate his development. Hernandez jumped into professional performance while still a teen and found himself in the midst of the booming Fania era of Latin dance music. His piano skills served him well, and before he hit twenty years old, Hernandez became a busy professional on the New York scene. He always maintained an open mind for new experiences though, and soon found like-minded musicians in Andy and Jerry Gonzalez. The brothers introduced Hernandez to a world of important music, ranging from early Cuban recordings to the whole spectrum of jazz approaches. Their shared appreciation of these different genres led to Hernandez's involvement in two important Gonzalez anchored groups: Grupo Folklorico Y Experimental Nuevayorquiño and Libre. Still at a young age, Hernandez left an unforgettable impact upon the Latin music world through recordings with these groups. His strong skills grabbed the attention of one of the salsa world's biggest stars, conguero Ray Barretto, who recruited Hernandez for his band. The pianist proved to be an important piece of Barretto's group, helping in the recording of some classic albums, including Rican/Struction. All these experiences served as the building blocks for an important career that had only just begun.
As Hernandez developed into an influential musical figure and an insightful bandleader, he made major contributions to the world of Latin dance music and jazz. These early experiences not only helped shaped Hernandez, but they influenced the continual evolution of Latin music. In the first piece of our two-part interview with pianist Oscar Hernandez, we discuss his early musical development, his involvement with the Gonzalez brothers, and his time in Ray Barretto's band.
LATIN JAZZ CORNER: You grew up in the Bronx – how did you get into music as a young person?
OSCAR HERNANDEZ: When I was 12, I joined the local Boy's Club. It was about five or six blocks from where I lived. They had a music program set up, and I started playing. They had a drum and bugle core, so I started playing bugle. From there, if you did O.K., they would switch you to trumpet. That's what I did, I started taking trumpet lessons. I had a trumpet teacher, and I remember him saying, "Oh man, this kid's going to be really good!" I was picking up pretty quick on what he was teaching. After about a year or so, I was having a tough time with the trumpet in terms of embouchure and having a tough time with the upper register. So he said, "Maybe you should think about switching to sax or the piano." Lo and behold, I think it was divine intervention. Where I lived in the Bronx – I come from a family of 11; I'm number 10. My oldest brother became the superintendent of the building that we lived in. It was kind of a big building. We had these rooms down stairs – some of them were full of junk. So he emptied them out, cleaned them, and painted it to make it beautiful. He made it like our little clubhouse. Somebody gave him a piano and that's how it all started for me. They gave him a piano and it was pretty good. He moved it in there and I just started on my own, messing around with it. Before I knew it, I was into it and I would meet people that knew a little bit. I just started taking off little by little. I started playing with local neighborhood bands at the age of 14 or 15. I started really playing professionally about 17.
LJC: Was that when you started with Ismael Miranda?
OH: I was about 18 years old. I was playing already with a neighborhood band that actually recorded back in the day with Fania – a group called La Conquistadora. We did a record. From there, the trombone player was playing with a band that was kind of playing more on a professional level – this guy named Joey Pastrana. He led a band and he had a couple of recordings out. He was on a more professional, serious level. I remember he said, "Hey, we need a piano player." So I went in and struggled my first time. He gave me the music, I took it home and learned it, and I played with him for about a year. He was working enough back in those days. Then another friend of mine was working with Ismael Miranda, who had just started his band. They were having problems with the piano player and he recommended me. I came in and it couldn't have been set up better for me. Ismael at that time was one of the most popular singers and the band was working five, six, seven days a week. It really gave me my independence. I was able to start making a living, I moved out on my own. It was a great situation – that was my training ground, so to speak. I was really working professionally and getting to play a lot.
He had just left Larry Harlow's band. They had some big successes – he was successful with Larry Harlow and they a bunch of hits. So he was already well known by then. He went on his own and formed his own band, and that was that. We recorded a record called Asi Se Compone un Son and he even had a name for the band. The band was called La Revelación. So . We had a great following and the band was working a lot. I was on my way.
LJC: How long did you play with that group?
OH: That only lasted a little over a year. A couple of us left and he decided to break up the band. He decided to move to Puerto Rico soon after.
LJC: Early on, you were involved in the circle around Andy and Jerry Gonzalez, checking out older Cuban music – you played on the Grupo Folklorico albums – what did you get from that scene?
OH: That's exactly right. I was playing with Ismael when Andy came up to me at a gig and introduced himself. He said, "Hey man, you should come to the house one day." Andy and Jerry lived in a private house – their parents lived upstairs and they had the apartment downstairs. So it was like their little haven. We went there and it was a very important time for us. We were really learning. Fortunately for me, they exposed us to a lot of music – they had a huge record collection. Andy and Jerry were very much into listening to all kinds of music, so I had that association. It was a place where musicians would just go hang out and stay there until three, four, five, six in the morning just listening to music. Sometimes jamming – Andy had a piano there. It became a place where we would be young, develop, and experiment. Soon there after, we met Rene (Lopez), which was amazing. He was an amazing source for us. We would go to his house and he would expose us to so much music – Cuban music really. I would say that he is the foremost authority on Cuban music in the world; he's amazing. He would start playing all the stuff and telling us the history. It was a huge awakening in terms of the evolution of the music and learning about the history of the music and how it developed up to the time that we were at. It was great.
LJC: Then that transitioned into the two Grupo Folklorico albums – Concepts in Unity and Lo Dice Todo – how was that experience of taking all that you'd been learning and doing something creative with it?
OH: It was just awesome. It was certainly something different. He assembled this group of different individuals with a similar concept and started trying different things out. It was an amazing sound. I remember going into the studio for the first recording that we recorded – the first song that we recorded was "Iya Modupue" and I'll never forget the experience. It's like an indelible memory in my mind. The sound of it listening through the headphones, it was like, "Wow, this is pretty cool." With Virgilio and all the drums and everything, it was like, "Wow, this is amazing." So we did those two records – the concepts was for us to just create. There were no charts at the time; we weren't writing this music down. We were just formulating what we wanted to do with it, making a groove – this will go here, this will go here, let's do this – and boom, what came out was really special. It was a great time.
LJC: Those albums still sound so vital today – why do you think those albums still so exciting, what was their impact?
OH: Well, good music is timeless; that's just how I feel about it. You could say the same thing about any music in any other genre if it's really done well. That was really special because there was a certain raw energy that existed. Apart from the fact that we were all young and we were all really excited to be doing what we were doing, we loved what we were doing. The concept was really special, because it wasn't like a salsa album. That's what kind of made it special too. Sometimes things happen like that. I'm sure that some of the stuff wasn't intentional per say, as opposed to "let's try something" and then magic is created. I've been in other situations like that as well, and it's great when that happens, because that's kind of what music is about. When that creative element is at its highest, it's pretty cool and it works.
LJC: Around that time, you were in on the beginning of Libre as well too . . .
OH: Yea, I forget about the chronology of it, but it was about the same time that Libre got formed and I recorded their first three albums. That was also part of the time that there was a place called the NuRican Village in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. It became kind of a cultural place where we would perform and Libre got started that way. It started becoming popular and we were working quite a bit. It was a great experience for me; all of that was part of my training ground in terms of me developing as a musician. I was still fairly young; I must have been about 20 or 21. Working with Manny Oquendo, obviously, was huge, because he was a person that encompassed the whole spectrum of what the music was about and lived it. He had a track record to prove it – he had recorded all those great records with Tito Rodriguez, Puente, and mainly at that time, with Eddie Palmieri – on top of all the other things he had done. Another great experience for me.
LJC: Who was on the scene that you were listening to at that time that was giving you concepts that you wanted to take on?
OH: Well the thing about hanging out at Jerry and Andy's house is that not only were they big into listening to the history of Latin music and listening to old Cuban stuff, but they were jazz heads too. I started getting the whole historical aspect of jazz and being turned onto Art Tatum, Bud Powell, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Bill Evans. Then there were the piano players who were in the forefront of the jazz scene in those days, who were people like McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock. All of a sudden I'm listening to that too – it was like wowww. On certain nights we'd be into a jazz head and on certain nights we'd be into a whole Latin head, other nights we'd be into a whole Brazilian trip. So I was just absorbing all this music and I was really becoming enlightened about the whole world of music in that house. I guess that I'm indebted to them in a sense, because, they had this whole spectrum of musical tastes that were pretty amazing.
As far as pianists live in those days – the guy who was in the forefront for me was definitely Eddie Palmieri. He had Azucar and that was burning through every other window that you would pass by. Then you became familiar with the Latin guys, such as Charlie Palmieri, Ricardo Rey, Sonny Bravo was on the scene – I would also get together with him and he was a great player. People like Papo Lucca was already out there, and playing, and recording a lot. Those were the contemporary cats. Maybe Edy Martinez. Then, you know, listening to all the Cuban piano players like Peruchin. Then listening to all the jazz cats. So I was like stuck in the middle, saying, "How do I play? I want to play the Latin stuff, but I want to try and incorporate some of the jazz stuff." It's not an easy thing. If you're playing jazz, it's not really the medium of Latin music – unless you're playing Latin Jazz. So I was kind of discovering how to find my identity and all that.
LJC: Sometime in the mid-seventies, you got the gig with Ray Barretto – how did you get that gig?
OH: Well, with Ray Barretto, I kind of got thrown into the fire. I think Edy Martinez was the piano player and he couldn't make something at the last minute. I remember the first album that I ever did with Ray Barretto was the live album at The Beacon Theater. So I got thrown into the fire really quick. It was another incredible experience for me, because Ray depended very much upon the piano player from the band to do a lot of things. He afforded me the ability to spread my wings even more. He would really be into me expanding as a soloist, and later on, as an arranger. He really gave me my first opportunity as an arranger. He would come over to the house – we developed that type of a relationship. He would say, no, I want this, try to do this. And also, Ray was an incredible source – he was one of the most knowledgeable cats about music in general. He also was a big jazz expert – he had played with a lot of the jazz cats. He loved jazz; he was just a fountain of knowledge. He was a great guy to be around and also he was a great bandleader – he produced a lot of great music. I feel to this day that the bands that I played in with Ray were some of the best bands that he had, although they weren't the most popular bands. Maybe people would think different, but the recordings that we had with the band were just so ass kicking at the time. It was all part of my development as a musician and looking back, how blessed I've been to play with people such as him. I think part of it was that I always was playing with musicians who were better than me, so I had to try to come up to snuff and get my stuff together little by little. Playing with Ray gave me the stamp of credibility, like I'd arrived, playing with a band that was at the top level.
LJC: I love those Barretto albums from that era and the album that you're on that is so major is Rican/Struction – that's a classic . . .
OH: Yea, that's kind of a landmark album to a lot of people. That was Ray with his innovative head wanting to do stuff that's kind of ahead of the pace and him wanting to be progressive. He was stuck the same way that I was, come to think about it. He wanted to be funky and Latin, but at the same time, he was listening to all the jazz stuff, so he wanted that element too. That's not easy, but he was able to achieve it on that album I think – and on other subsequent albums. The Rhythm of Life album was killin'. I listen to that now . . . well, I don't really listen to it, because I don't go back that much. But every now and then some people play for me, and I think, "Wow, that's pretty awesome – that's great music." That era was a pre-cursor for me, for what I'm doing with my own band. No doubt about it, with Spanish Harlem Orchestra – it's basically taking that and doing it today. People have forgotten what that was – after fifteen years of the music that we've had.
LJC: What sort of response did Rican/Struction get at the time – did it turn heads or were people thinking, "What is going on here?!?" How did people take that?
OH: Well, one of the problems of that is that it wasn't commercially successful. It wasn't like his albums of earlier or the bands of earlier. So he was kind of disappointed. We were proud of the music and musicians would go like, "Wow, this is kickin'!" – everybody had that reaction. I don't think that it was really accepted by the mainstream public in terms of being commercial though. It wasn't like when he had a hit with "Guarare" and all those albums – that was different. They were great bands too, but my era with Ray wasn't really the same. I mean, he was Ray Barretto, and we worked a lot. He was well respected, and we were considered one of the better bands. But he wasn't really reaping the benefits of success like people like Willie Colon and Hector Lavoe or even Eddie Palmieri – and he was always kind of disappointed. I think when I left the band, he went even further to try and be even more commercial. I think that he said enough with this, let's try and go and be funky. Even towards the end, he was telling me, "We got to do stuff to sound like El Gran Combo or something like that . . ." I didn't realize it much at the time, but it was very heavy to be going through all that stuff.

Good for a better than average 12 dollar wine. OK for the price but a little disjointed. Good as a 12 dollar table wine. Light purple and a little brown on the color.The nose is crisp with butterscotch, black licorice and green pepper. Little too much alcohol on the nose. The palatet is very short with a bitter finish. Not very fruity, little coffee, anisette and a touch spicy. Overall just OK and better as a table wine.

Weather Journal: A Classic Spring Mix This Weekend
The next three days in Greater New York feature a classic spring mix of sun, clouds and showers, but nicer conditions will prevail over the weekend.
High pressure will keep the tri-state area dry on Friday, with sunny skies and lighter winds, the first half of the day will be calm and nice. Clouds lower and thicken through the afternoon as an area of low pressure closes in on the region. A sea breeze will keep temperatures along the shore in the lower and middle 50s, while inland areas will see highs climb closer to 60 degrees.
Unsettled weather arrives in the evening as low pressure and an associated storm system move across the region. This will result in periods of light showers developing from west to east on Friday night. Rain will become steadier overnight and quickly move offshore on Saturday morning.
A chance of rain remains in the forecast for Saturday, as additional showers, and even a thunderstorm, may develop in the afternoon. Despite this, the region could see some sun on Saturday and conditions should be nice enough to enjoy Sakura Matsuri, the annual cherry blossom festival at the Brooklyn Botantic Garden. Temperatures look to be at or just above normal on Saturday, ranging from the upper 60s in New York City and northeast New Jersey to the lower 60s in coastal areas.
An area of surface high pressure moves into the tri-state area on Sunday, keeping the region dry and sunny. Temperatures won't be quite as warm: most areas will see highs top out in the lower 60s, thanks, in part, to a steady northwest breeze around 15 miles an hour. Cloud cover will increase on Sunday night, but the next rounds of showers aren't expected to arrive until Tuesday.
Your Weather Journal weekend forecast roundup:
- WSJ Headquarters in Manhattan:
- High: Saturday: 67; Sunday: 63

Banks' Wish List: Loosen Investment Requirements, No Newspaper Ads
WASHINGTON – Financial industry groups are pressing for numerous regulatory changes — ranging from relaxed limits on international investments to removing requirements that firms publish legal notices in local newspapers – as part of a sweeping federal review of outdated regulations.
The Financial Services Roundtable and Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association made the requests Tuesday as part of a laundry list of regulations they consider outdated or too burdensome.
The industry groups' 14-page comment letter is a response to a request earlier this year by bank regulators under a 1996 law that requires a once-a-decade study of rules governing the financial industry.
The industry groups suggested limits on banks' investments in foreign firms "generally be raised" without specifying a figure. Currently banks are barred from investing an amount equal to more than 15% of their Tier 1 capital – their highest-quality financing — in a foreign firm. Industry groups argue stricter capital requirements imposed make such investment restrictions unnecessary.
For the most part, the Roundtable and SIFMA groups kept their suggestions focused on technical – and sometimes mundane – issues. In part, that's because recently-issued regulations under laws such as the 2010 Dodd-Frank rules are exempt from the 10-year review process, under the assumption it is too early to assess their impact.
"There are numerous improvements the federal government should consider that can save time and money while improving productivity, innovation and economic growth," said Tim Pawlenty, chief executive of the Roundtable, in a prepared statement.
Among the other recommendations floated by the industry groups: relaxing a requirement that three bank directors sign official reports of banks' financial conditions and eliminating duplicative reporting requirements that require the same financial data to be calculated in different ways.
Instead of publishing notices in local newspapers, the financial industry groups want to allow other forms of public notice, such an e-mail to customers or a notice on an institution's website, the two trade groups wrote to the Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. If the industry push is successful, it would be the latest blow to the struggling newspaper industry, which has seen revenue decline from legal notices as well as from traditional display ads.
The trade groups also said the scope of the 10-year review is too limited because does not include the include the three-year-old Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. That agency, created as a watchdog to police abuses of consumers, inherited numerous rules from other agencies after its creation more than three years ago.
"To exclude this large body of federal regulations from the scope of this review deprives [financial industry groups], and other stakeholders an opportunity to address key regulations," the groups wrote.
The CFPB has issued several proposals to amend regulations based on feedback from a 2011 request for public input on the rules inherited from other agencies, a spokesman said. The regulator is also required to assess major rules within five years of their effective date and to seek public comments on potential changes.
Earlier this year, bank regulators said they plan to release three more requests for comment over the next two years. They said they would consider repealing or amending rules after receiving feedback from the public.

In 2011, when Rockets coach Kevin McHale was working for TNT, he worked with Kings center DeMarcus Cousins on low post moves and footwork. Several seasons later, McHale said he can see the improvement in Cousins game since those days as a talented, but raw rookie.
"As a player you always get a little better," McHale said. "I think his shot's a little better from the perimeter. He's not as loose with the ball as he was. I thought he was real loose with ball earlier, trying to make spectacular plays when a simple play was adequate. He's getting better, but he's a young player and young players do get better."
Cousins is averaging a career-best 22.4 points and 11.6 rebounds

The Church of St John the Baptist, King's Norton
The present church dates from 1757 when it replaced a medieval church about which we know very little except that it was maintained by the convent at Ouston.
The rebuilding of the church in 1757 was paid for by William Fortrey, a local squire who had it designed in a gothic style by the architect John Wing the Younger of Leicester. Fortrey is reputed to have loved the sound of church bells and was a keen bell-ringer and so some believe he wanted to rebuild King's Norton church in order to have somewhere to practise his hobby!
The original 1757 church with the spire still intact. Taken from J. Nichols: The History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester.
The original church was topped by a tall spire, similar to that of Stoughton and would have been visible for miles around. Unfortunately, the height of the spire meant it was to be hit by lightning on two occasions. The first strike was in 1843 when repairs cost £191. However, this was followed by a further strike in 1850 when the spire fell into the church, crushing the eighteenth-century font and destroying the organ. It was decided not to replace the spire, leaving the silhouette of the church that we see today.
The London Illustrated News reported the lightning strike on King's Norton church in 1850.
Inside the church has a classical Georgian interior with the original wooden box-pews and three-tier pulpit. The fact that so little has changed in almost two hundred and fifty years means that the church is a very rare example of eighteenth-century Anglicanism.
In the twentieth century the parish was merged with the neighbouring parish of Gaulby and shares a rector.

House ethics package confusion
In a letter sent to all Chairs and Ranking Members, Ethics Committee Chair Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Ranking Member Doc Hastings, asked their colleagues for guidance on a provision of the Democratic ethics package. The letter cites in particular a new provision requiring members to register their earmarks and certify that neither they nor their spouses have a "financial interest" in the provision. The letter said that the ethics panel is considering how to define the term "request" and noted that the Rules Committee of the last Congress chose to defer to the incoming committee chairmen on the matter.
Born September 10, 1949 in Cleveland, Ohio, Jones graduated from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland for both undergraduate studies and law school. She was elected a municipal judge for Cleveland in 1981 and subsequently served on the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County from 1983-1991. She then served as the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor from 1991 until resigning in early 1999, upon election to the House of Representatives. She was succeeded as prosecutor by William D. Mason.
Aneurysm and Death
On the night of August 19th, 2008, a Cleveland police officer attempted to pull over a car speeding down a local road. After the car eventually rolled to a stop, the officer found Congresswoman Jones unconscious in the driver's seat. Jones had suffered an aneurysm, which caused her to lose consciousness while driving. The Cleveland Heights Fire Department transported her to the Huron Hospital in East Cleveland where she was admitted and placed on life support. Jones passed away after being removed from life support a few hours later. Her doctor reported that the aneurysm was "in an inaccessible part of her brain, and that she had 'limited' brain function in the hours before her death."[2][3]
Congressional career
The first black woman to be elected to Congress from Ohio, Jones is generally characterized as a liberal Democrat. She is a co-chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. In 2004, she served as the chairwoman of the platform committee at the Democratic National Convention and as a member of the Ohio delegation. She strongly supported Sen. John Kerry in his campaign to become President of the United States. On January 6, 2005, she joined Senator Barbara Boxer in objecting to the certification of the 2004 U.S. presidential election results for Ohio.
2006 elections
In 2006, the Republicans nominated Lindsey String to face Jones in her November 2006 bid for reelection. (See U.S. congressional elections in 2006) [1] Jones retained her seat.

Cities, Law Enforcement Prepped for Election Day
Gary Fields reports on the presidential race.
With election officials nationwide preparing for a record voter turnout next week, mayors and law enforcement are discussing how to best handle potential disturbances at polling places where tempers could flare as voters wait in some places for hours to cast their ballots.
Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, who chairs the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Mayors and Police Chiefs Task Force, said his city is also preparing for huge turnout–there are already 20,000 more people registered to vote this year than the number of votes cast in 2004. He said the number of absentee voters is also a measure of what his city can expect next week. In 2004 there were 14,000 absentee ballots cast. This year, with nearly a week to go before the election, 12,000 absentee ballots had already been cast.
"We are expecting more people to vote but we are not expecting this to be a safety issue," he said, adding that additional officers will not be on the street in Minneapolis. Rybak said one area where there will be law enforcement involvement is traffic. "Our traffic department has looked at polling sites and removed the parking restrictions where they can."
He said one precaution that will be in place is that all 9-1-1 calls from a voting precinct will be top priority calls and answered first but "we are not expecting this to be a security challenge. We've done big elections before. This one will be bigger but that's a logistics issue, not a security issue." In Minneapolis that has meant pushing absentee voting and keeping polls opened on Saturdays, he said.
Rybak said mayors have been having conference calls and others are pushing absentee and early voting as well. "Some of the strategies I've heard are to provide people an option to bypass the line by using a clipboard instead of the traditional booth," he said. Mayors are also trying to devise ways to let people know when polling places are not crowded.
"America will go to the polls Tuesday and safely elect a new president. They may have to wait in line a little longer if what we expect to happen happens but none of the mayors I've talked to are concerned about serious safety issues," he said.
R. Gil Kerlikowske, chief of police in Seattle and president of the Major Cities Chiefs Association, said the majority of voting in his city is done by mail so the number of people in long lines where tempers might flare is minimal but some of the other cities and states where extraordinary numbers of people have registered, chiefs are taking that into consideration.
Kerlikowske said most departments are skillful in dealing with the public, especially during sensitive events like elections where officers in uniform can be perceived as intimidating voters. "The last thing you want to do is disrupt the polling place or have questions of intimidation and the chilling effect of having uniform officers inside.
For many departments traditional Election Day protocols will be in place. In New York City, for instance, officers will be stationed outside voting precincts in case there are disturbances inside. In Louisville and Cincinnati officers will be prepared to answer calls for service but there are no plans of having them inside precincts. Chicago police will treat the day as a major event with all 13,000 of the department's officers on call. Houston police will station officers near unnamed polls as potential crowd control and the Mobility Response Team will be available to address traffic control if necessary. Police in Dade County, Fla., will respond as needed but the Metro-Dade department is not planning additional patrols.

he is always in your heart, somehow. he is handsome, kind, caring, good at what he's doing, and he's hardly to forget. he is sensitive at what other people said about him. but sometimes he doesn't really care at all. he is well balanced, it's hard to search his weakness. he is one of a kind. if you find someone like him, try hard not to let him go.
