Roswell Rudd
"Take any opportunity that presents itself to hear Roswell Rudd." -The Village Voice / Shortlist / May 12, 2004
Roswell Rudd, 1935, aka THE INCREDIBLE HONK, is a musical wiz if ever a wiz there waz.
His musical range has expresssed itself in extraordinary musical collaborations and subsequent recordings with musicians from Mali (Toumani Diabate), Mongolia (Buryat Band), the great Puerto Rican cuatrista Yomo Toro, and the brilliant Cuban guitarist/singer David Oquendo. He has performed and recorded with all of the bands performing at this unique musical event.
In 2000 he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in composition.
In August 2010 he was voted #1 in the Downbeat Critics Poll
In 2003, 2004, 2005, 2009 and 2010 he was voted Trombonist of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association.
ROSWELL RUDD (trombone), is proudly of the tradition that has given us such jazz trombone greats as Jack Teagarden , Kid Ory, J.J. Johnson, and Joseph Nanton. One of the most imaginative, stimulating players, Rudd is known for his work with groundbreaking groups and musicians like Herbie Nichols, the NEW YORK ART QUARTET, Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, Carla Bley, and Steve Lacy.
His trailblazing on the trombone has influenced an entire generation of trombonists who hear his extroverted gut bucket stylings as the modern incarnation of the New Orleans style. He has equally a passionate lyricism in the tradition of American folk songs and ballads.
Roswell Rudd has received international recognition as a performer, and for his compositions and arrangements ranging from large scale music dramas to instrumental jazz suites. His jazz operas BLUES FOR PLANET EARTH and GOLD RUSH have achieved cult status from their performances in the 1960's.
From 1999 to the present have been his Soundscape years marked by his collaboration with Verna Gillis.
Rudd is one of the giants. His active playing force is to be greatly welcomed, with his larger-than-life individualism.

John Medeski
Keyboard master John Medeski thrives on the unpredictable, a trait that has kept his work with the trailblazing trio Medeski Martin & Wood (MMW) fresh and surprising for more than twenty years. With A Different Time, his first solo piano project, Medeski once again takes his sound in a completely unexpected direction – unexpected even to him…

Steven Bernstein
Steven Bernstein is a trumpeter/slide trumpeter, bandleader, arranger, and composer who lives outside of musical convention. He has released four critically acclaimed CDs; Diaspora Soul, Diaspora Blues (featuring the Sam Rivers trio), Diaspora Hollywood, and Diaspora Suite. All four are on John Zorn's Tzadik label.
His band Sex Mob has been together since 1995 touring the world, winning numerous awards, and has had their music featured on MTV, Saturday Night Live and NPR. Sexotica, recorded for Thirsty Ear's Blue series, was nominated for a Grammy in 2006. Their most recent CD, Sex Mob meets Medeski was recorded live at the Willisau Jazz Festival.
His nine-piece ensemble, the Millennial Territory Orchestra, has released two CDs, MTO Vol 1 and We Are MTO. Their upcoming CD, MTO Plays Sly, features Bernie Worrell, Vernon Reid, Antony, Martha Wainwright, Dean Bowman, Sandra St. Victor and Shilpa Ray, and is slated for a September 2011 release. MTO was formed in 1999 for a series of Midnight shows at Tonic, and spent a year and a half long residency at the Jazz Standard. Bernstein also arranged and co-produced Baby Loves Jazz, featuring vocalists Sharon Jones and Babi Floyd, along with keyboard master John Medeski. The CD is available on Verve records.
Bernstein was the musical director for I'm Your Man, a documentary on Leonard Cohen that focuses on a tribute concert held at the Sydney Opera house, released by Lions Gate films in spring 2006. He was the musical director for the live sequences in the 2009 Bill Withers documentary Still Bill. Other DVD releases include Solos, originally a Canadian Television program featuring solo performances by musicians including Andrew Hill, Joe Lovano, and John Scofield, as well as Lou Reed's Berlin (directed by Julian Schnabel) and Levon Helm Ramble at The Ryman. Bernstein was also the subject of a feature entitled "Creative Spaces" on NPR's "All Things Considered," and was interviewed by Terry Gross on NPR in 2002.
Since November 2004 Bernstein has been a member of the Levon Helm band, playing at the Midnight Rambles in Levon's home in Woodstock. Bernstein wrote horn arrangements for Levon Helm's Grammy winning 2009 recording Electric Dirt, as well as Bill Frissel's Grammy winning 2004 recording Unspeakable. Other arranging credits include Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, Marianne Faithfull, Elton John, and Marvin Pontiac.
In 1992, musical iconoclast Hal Willner produced the eponymous debut CD by Spanish Fly, a cooperative trio with Bernstein, slide guitarist Dave Tronzo and tubaist Marcus Rojas, and they have been collaborating ever since.

Bob Dorough
BOB DOROUGH, born in Arkansas and "raised" in Texas, immediately fell in love with music upon joining the Plainview Texas High School Band. He served three years in a Special Services Army Band Unit, gaining much professional experience as arranger, clarinetist, saxophonist, pianist, and entertainer (1943-45).
After earning a Bachelor Of Music degree at the University of North Texas (1949), he made a bee-line for New York City where he took classes at Columbia University and immersed himself in the volatile jazz scene then taking place there -the BeBop revolution.
In 1952 he turned his back on the academic scene to devote himself to jazz performance, specializing in piano/vocals. After years of accompanying, conducting, arranging, and playing, he made his first recording as a leader (1956) for the Bethlehem label….DEVIL MAY CARE, having written the title tune three years earlier.
He is known as "the only singer to record with Miles Davis". While this may not be 100% true, he did record two vocals with Davis, in 1962, "Nothing Like You" and "Blue Xmas," both of which he composed. Davis also recorded an instrumental version of Bob's classic song, "Devil May Care," that same year.
In 1971 he received a commission to "set the multiplication tables to music." This led to a small industry, being the beginning of ABC-TV's SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK, Saturday morning cartoons that entertained and instructed unsuspecting children during the years 1973-1985. The impact of this media exposure was unpredictably immense. The show came back for another five years in the 90's and is now enjoying its 30th anniversary with a DVD edition of the entire, five-subject series, for which Dorough worked as the Musical Director.
In 1995 he signed a contract with the prestigious jazz label -Blue Note Records – and has done three CDs for them ("Right On My Way Home," "Too Much Coffee Man" and "Who's On First").
Now residing in Pennsylvania, he has received honors from that state (the Governor's Artist of the Year Award) and from his native state (the Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame.) In 2002 his trio was chosen to represent the State Department and Kennedy Center, as an Ambassador of Jazz and Blues. The one-month tour saw them play some 22 workshops and concerts in thirteen cities in six different countries.
Currently recording on Arbors, Candid and his own label, Bob Dorough continues to perform, often for children too, in Jazz Clubs and Schools, wherever he can.
Gary Lucas
A world class guitar hero, a Grammy-nominated songwriter and composer, an international recording artist with over 20 acclaimed solo albums to date, and a soundtrack composer for film and television, GARY LUCAS is on the move in 2013.
Gary starts the year with a bang headlining the famed Paradiso in Amsterdam Feb. 17th with "The World of Captain Beefheart", a gala concert featuring the 60 piece Metropole Orchestra and legendary Nona Hendryx. The show will go out live on producer Co de Kloet's national Dutch Radio 6 program "Co Live", and will be filmed for broadcast later this year. In Oct. 2013 Gary is coming to BAM's new Fisher Space in Brooklyn for two nights with the expanded concert version of his celebrated album of 30's Chinese pop, "The Edge of Heaven". Featuring Gary, his band, and two female vocalists from Shanghai, the project received standing ovations in June 2011 at both the 64th Holland Festival in Amsterdam and the Nijmegen MusicMeeting.
In 2012 Gary was profiled in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the International Herald Tribune to coincide with the release of his supergroup Gods and Monsters' studio album "The Ordeal of Civility" (Knitting Factory), produced by Jerry Harrison which is receiving rave reviews—4 Stars in MOJO and named one of the Best of the Year in Rock's Backpages. He released a vinyl only album in the Czech Republic "Gary Lucas Plays Bohemian Classics" (Faust Records) featuring his solo acoustic arrangements of Dvorak and other Czech classical composers. Last year he embarked on a European solo tour selling out Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall two nights in a row with his Captain Beefheart Symposium, performing his live score for Spanish "Dracula" at the annual music festival of Bilbao Spain, recording with Bryan Ferry in London, performing solo in Portugal where he was profiled on the cover of two national newspapers, and finishing in Paris where he was profiled in the French left paper Politis. That year Gary performed at the Grammy Museum in LA as part of their "Great Guitar" Series which further bolstered his credentials as "one of the best and most original guitarists in America" (Rolling Stone). Gary was also dubbed "one of the world's greatest guitar players" by HITS Magazine.
Gary just wrapped recording the debut album of his psychedelic dance music project Wild Rumpus with his partner Colleen "Cosmo" Murphy, and their latest 12 inch vinyl single "Cloudhopping" sold-out its first pressing in one week. He recently premiered his new live solo guitar score for Luis Bunuel's "El Angel Exterminador" at the 33rd Havana Film Festival and rocked the 48th New York Film Festival with the US premiere of his Spanish "Dracula" project performing his original solo guitar score live to accompany a screening of the legendary 1931 film.
In the last few years, Gary Lucas made successful performing debuts in China, Cuba, the Canary Islands, Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica and Mexico alongside his usual non-stop touring in Europe and North America, and is coming to BAM's new Fisher Space in Brooklyn in Oct. 2013 for two nights with the expanded concert version of his celebrated album of 30's Chinese pop, "The Edge of Heaven". Featuring Gary, his band, and two female vocalists from Shanghai, the project received standing ovations in June 2011 at both the 64th Holland Festival in Amsterdam and the Nijmegen MusicMeeting. His recent album, "Rishte" (Harmonia Mundi), a blues/raga collaboration with Indian vocalist Najma Akhtar, made #4 on the World Music Charts Europe and the pair garnered a 5 star review in The Financial Times for their live show and an ovation at WOMAD Los Palmas. He released his first ever coloured vinyl single "Music for the Eden Project" on 5nakefork Records last year to acclaim which has been used as the soundtrack for UK visual artist Paul McGowan's installation at the Eden Project in Cornwall.
Dubbed "The Thinking Man's Guitar Hero" by The New Yorker, "The world's most popular avant-rock guitarist" by The Independent (UK), "One of the 100 Greatest Living Guitarists" (Classic Rock), "Legendary Leftfield guitarist" by The Guardian (UK), "Guitarist of 1000 Ideas" by The New York Times, "a true axe God" by Melody Maker, and "One of the five best guitarists in the world" by the national Czech newspaper Lidove Noviny, the British world music magazine fRoots recently described Gary Lucas as "without question, the most innovative and challenging guitarist playing today." Rolling Stone's David Fricke wrote: "Gary Lucas is one of the best and most original guitarists in America…a modern guitar miracle." Best-selling author/producer Dan Levitin ("This Is Your Brain On Music") recently cited Gary as "the greatest living electric guitarist".
Gary Lucas tours the world relentlessly both solo and with several different ensembles, including his longtime band Gods and Monsters, whose ranks once included the late singer Jeff Buckley. Gary co-wrote two of Jeff Buckley's most famous hits, "Grace" and "Mojo Pin", which opened Jeff's double platinum Sony album "Grace", which MOJO magazine named the #1 Modern Classic Rock Album. Their early collaborations can also be heard on the Jeff Buckley and Gary Lucas album "Songs to No One", which charted internationally with worldwide sales approaching 100,000. Other notable Lucas albums include his recently reissued 2001 album "The Edge of Heaven", an album of Gary's lush arrangements of 30's Chinese pop songs, which made #1 on the World Music charts and received rave reviews around the world. To date he has released over 20 acclaimed albums in multiple genres, and performed in over 40 countries.
Gary Lucas makes his home in NYC.

Richard Hammond
Richard Hammond is an electric and acoustic bassist, composer, producer and author based in New York City. Born in Dargaville, New Zealand, he moved to Auckland at age 18 and quickly became one of the most in-demand bassists, performing and recording with New Zealand's top artists. Moving to Boston at age 22, he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Performance on Acoustic Bass, and went on to attend Manhattan School of Music, where he earned a Master's Degree in Jazz/Commercial music.
Equally versatile on acoustic and electric bass, and across a broad range of musical genres, he has performed with an array of artists including Carlos Santana, Gavin DeGraw, Danny Kortchmar, Bob Moses, Louis Bellson, Luciana Souza and Mose Allison. Currently touring with Joan Osborne, Richard has also toured as bassist with Erasure, The East Village Opera Company, Angelique Kidjo, Jonatha Brooke, Dar Williams, Marshall Crenshaw, Chiara Civello, Shannon McNally, and Jim Campilongo.
He maintains a busy recording schedule, working with artists such as Raul Midon, Nellie MacKay, and Marion Raven, and legendary producers Arif Mardin, Neil Dorfsman, Kevin Killen, and Rob Fraboni. He has also recorded on several major motion picture soundtracks including: Rumor Has It, Paramount's The Marc Pease Experience, Disney's Enchanted, and Ridley Scott's, American Gangster.
Richard has also worked as composer/producer on several national advertising campaigns, and regularly co-writes with several songwriting teams. In addition to being co-author of "Teach Yourself Visually Bass Guitar", he has also worked as an instructor for the National Guitar Workshop and as a clinician for Berklee College of Music.
Aaron Comess
To date, drummer Aaron Comess, a founding member of the Grammy nominated, ten million plus album selling band Spin Doctors, has played on, written on and/or produced over two hundred albums with an acclaimed and diverse roster of artists such as, Joan Osborne, Bilal, Rachael Yamagata, New York Electric Piano, Isaac Hayes, James Maddock, Marc Cohn and Chris Whitley to name a few.
Fay Victor
In command, infectious, energetic and strong, Fay Victor hypnotizes audiences, whether singing a blues, sculpting a free piece, reinventing a Herbie Nichols tune with her own lyrics, or effortlessly improvising over the harmonies of a jazz standard or her own material. Victor's lyrics speak of universal themes in story-driven ways, running the full gamut of human emotion in an original mix of traditional song forms and free improvisation – or "FreeSong" – that has become Victor's trademark approach to improvised vocal music. The trademark transcends Victor's own original music to include her valued contribution to esteemed ensembles featuring her unique vocal abilities, so unique in fact, that the ensembles Victor are now featured in, rarely, if ever, have vocalists in them.
Beau Soleil avec Michael Doucet
Since forming in 1975, Grammy winners BeauSoleil have claimed their undisputed role as the most esteemed Cajun group in music. BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet take the rich Cajun traditions of Louisiana and artfully blend elements of zydeco, New Orleans jazz, Tex-Mex, country, blues and more into a satisfying musical recipe. From The Grand Ole Opry to Newport Folk, from concert hall to dance floor, the music of BeauSoleil continues to captivate audiences the world over.
Rolf Sturm
Ivan Rubenstein-Gillis
Born in New York City, Ivan grew up in small-town New Jersey and upstate New York. He played piano by ear as a child and began putting together lyrics and chord patterns when he was nine. Ivan taught himself guitar a few years later and became consumed with writing songs in high school. Since then he has written hundreds of songs and instrumental pieces, composed scores for dance and theater, recorded a number of CDs and played with great musicians in many styles. But his first love remains the folk-rock singer-songwriter tradition.
Ivan has performed at venues all around the northeast since the mid-1990s: concerts, recitals, festivals, dance, comedy and theatrical events, city parks, bars, hotels, cafes, bed & breakfasts, restaurants, fundraisers, rallies, protests, parades, bar and bat mitzvahs, summer camps, schools, churches, synagogues, radio stations, train stations, weddings and parties.
In addition to his folk-rock wanderings, Ivan has played in several "world music" ensembles (with trombone great Roswell Rudd, Fode Sissoko and others), and has accompanied a wide range of performers on guitar, piano, drums, bass, mandolin and vocals. He has also taught numerous classes in rock, folk and blues history and performance, as well as guitar and songwriting lessons to dozens of students of all ages and levels.
NYC Labor Chorus with Reggie Bennet
Organized labor, united with its community allies, is an irrepressible social force. This is the message of the New York City Labor Chorus. The Chorus, with 75 members representing over 20 local unions and District Councils, was founded in 1991 for the purpose of bringing the message of workers' history and struggles for social and economic justice through song to people everywhere.
The Chorus has a national and international reputation as the premier multi-cultural and multi-generational labor chorus in the United States. It is a powerful cultural tool in the arsenal of workers. Wherever the struggle for people's rights is being waged, the Chorus will be there.
We stand ready to perform on picket lines, at union conventions, union rallies and shop steward meetings, as well as at community events, churches, colleges, and schools.
Our repertoire represents the great legacy of U.S. labor music. The repertoire includes songs of labor struggles, protest, and social significance. It also includes a rich diversity of music from the cultures of all working people: songs in the gospel, jazz, classical and folk traditions.
In 1997, we travelled throughout Sweden. We were hosted by two Swedish unions, LO, a union of several million blue collar workers, and SAS, the Scandinavian Workers Song Association. The Chorus performed at a five day festival in Uddevalla, along with thousands of chorus members from throughout Scandinavia. The Chorus also sang at Carnegie Hall in 1998 as part of a Tribute to Paul Robeson; in 1992 at Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park at the Roots of American Music festival, and is featured on the 1998 Peter, Paul and Mary album, "Around the Campfire." Other performances include the 1992 Democratic Party National Convention, South Africa Solidarity Day and the International Workers Memorial Day at the United Nations, and annual performances in New York City's Labor Day Parade.

Those helping Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in her rehabilitation process say she's now walking more with assistance and able to talk in complete sentences.
Doctors gave new details on the Arizona congresswoman's condition in a press conference Friday.
Giffords has no memory of the assassination attempt against her that left six people dead and 12 others wounded, but knows she was shot.
"She has been told both by her husband and by us, and I think she understands," said neuroscientist Dr. Dong Kim.
Doctors also said she's improved so much that she may be able to see her husband Mark Kelly's space shuttle launch in April.
Giffords' breathing tube was removed last week. She's also showing emotions, including smiles when she makes progress.

Resort FAQ
About Bali
The Balinese are one of over 300 ethnic groups in Indonesia. The majority of the population adheres to Agama Tirtha, which translates to religion of the holy water. This unique Hinduism is formed as a combination of existing local beliefs and Hindu influences from mainland Southeast Asia and South Asia.
Nyepi/Day of Silence
To mark the Balinese-Hindu New Year, the Balinese celebrate an annual 'Day of Silence' known as Nyepi. It is a wonderful time to visit the island, for guests who are interested in the unique traditions that underpin Balinese-Hinduism. A spectacular procedure of ceremonies, parades of great bamboo monsters, and fireworks occur on the Eve of Nyepi, followed by a day of total silence and seclusion when the Balinese will pray and meditate to cleanse the island of evil spirits. The next Nyepi Day will be 28 March 2017. In accordance with local regulations, all visitors must remain within the hotel property from midnight March 28th to early morning on March 29th. All facilities at AYANA and RIMBA Jimbaran Bali will be open and operational including the Spas, Aquatonic Pool, Tennis Pavilion, golf putting course, swimming pools, Kids Clubs as well as restaurants (except Kisik Seafood Bar & Grill, Kubu Beach and Rock Bar which will be closed on March 28th).

By hæmorrhagic glaucoma I understand that form of glaucomo which is preceeded by numerous hæmorrhages in the retina, and when in the majority of cases the glaucomatous symptoms do not show themselves for many weeks after the visible retinæ changes. It is hence a secondary glaucoma.. The youngest case on record occurred at 35 years of age and is reported by V. Græfe. The disease occurs most frequently in persons who have passed the fiftieth year, and there is every reason to believe that the time of life is here an essential factor. The attacks generally commence with a sensation of pricking beneath the lids, as though a foreign body were lodged there. The lachrymation is considerable and there is much conjunctival injection. The pains radiate all around the eyeball, down the side of the nose and over the head frequently back to the occiput. We have, in other words

5 Simple Things You Can Do to Help End Hunger with GROW from OxfamElizabeth Stark
Hearing about people without enough food has always been sad for me, but since I've had children, it's become almost unbearable to hear about people who aren't able to provide their children with adequate nutrition. I can't imagine how difficult that must be for a mother or father. But the fact is that nearly a billion people suffer from hunger each day. That's a lot of people and the task of making a dent in that number is so large that it can seem too daunting to even make a start. That's why I was heartened when I learned about Oxfam's new GROW campaign, which provides 5 concrete steps that any family can take to help build a food system capable of feeding the world's population in a sound and sustainable way.
The five steps in the GROW program are:
1. Eat less meat 1 of 5One of the main issues facing as many as 1.6 billion people is lack of access or unstable access to clean drinking water. Because raising meat is so water intensive, cutting back, even just one day a week can greatly reduce the amount of water a family is responsible for using. According to Oxfam, having beans instead of meat for one night would save 17 full Olympic swimming pools worth of water per family over the course of a year.
Get 15 great bean recipes to take the place of meat here!
2. Reduce food waste 2 of 5Much of the food in our food supply ends up in the trash. What is being wasted apart from the food itself is the energy that went into producing it, much of it derived from fossil fuels, which both makes energy more expensive and contributes to global climate change, which in turn make it more difficult for farmers in developing nations. Being frugal by planning your meals and buying only what you need are time-tested ways for reducing waste. You'll be helping others but it will also save you money in the process.
3. Buy fair trade 3 of 5Products like chocolate and coffee can come from farms that treat their workers pretty appallingly, especially chocolate which makes frequent use of slave labor. Making an effort to buy products like these fair trade, even if it's just some of the time, would go a long way toward building an agricultural sector in parts of the developing world that would allow farmers to lift themselves out of poverty.
Learn more about the benefits of fair trade chocolate here.
4. Cook smarter 4 of 5A lot of the waste in our food supply comes from how we prepare food, but there are simple ways to to cook more efficiently, like using lids on pots and pans when cooking (this will also help you cook more quickly), not using more water than you need to boil pasta or veggies, and reducing the heat as soon as water begins to boil. You'll waste less energy and water and help the planet at the same time.
5. Buy seasonal 5 of 5Growing fruit and vegetables at the wrong time and the wrong place requires a lot of additional energy. Focusing on using seasonal ingredients will ensure that your food is not too energy-intensive, freeing up valuable resources. And besides, in many cases you'll find that seasonal stuff just tastes better. There's nothing more disappointing than corn and tomatoes in the middle of winter.
Read about great seasonal cookbooks here.
Much of the GROW campaign focuses on being thrifty and frugal as consumers and cooks. These are values that a lot of us grew up with but that are easy to drift away from. But they're also values that are great for your family's financial well-being. Now, thanks to the GROW program, you'll know that you're also helping the planet and its residents.

KAPALUA - Statistics can lie on the golf course, at least if that course is the Plantation at Kapalua in the 2013 Hyundai Tournament of Champions.
Not only did 126 holes get played at an aggregate 41 over par in rounds that were wiped out by weather over the first three days, but eventual winner Dustin Johnson didn't exactly light up the stat sheet in several areas.
Johnson hit 23 of 45 fairways, last in the 30-man field. His total of 171 feet, 2 inches, of putts made was 23rd, and he did not record a sand save. He did manage to recover well, hitting 48 of 54 greens in regulation, the second-best mark in the field.

Dustin Johnson watches his chip that dropped for eagle on the 14th hole Tuesday
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
Johnson showed his remarkable strength with his average driving distance of 279.3 yards, ranking second to Bubba Watson's 280.7. In Tuesday's final round, Johnson was the longest hitter, at 288.7.
Also on Tuesday, however, Johnson's misfired drive on the 521-yard, par-5 ninth led to a bogey and his drive into the forest on the 407-yard, par-4 13th led to a double bogey. That reduced his lead to one stroke over eventual runner-up Steve Stricker, who was trying to repeat as champion.
"He's an impressive player, has a lot talent," Stricker said of Johnson. "Hits the ball a mile, but as I was talking to him out there, I was like: 'Dude, what are you doing?' He took out driver on a couple holes and let me back in the game."
In the end, Johnson won by four strokes - and he didn't do it by being conservative.
After chipping in for eagle on the 14th to boost the lead back to three, Johnson again pulled out driver on 15 and smacked it 286 yards on the way to a birdie to match Stricker.
"We are walking up 15 and I was like: 'Why don't you take iron out, make me have to make birdies instead of you hitting it in the trees and opening it up for me?' " Stricker said. "And he's like, 'Yeah, yeah, I know.' "
After the tournament was over, Johnson said of the ninth: "On a hole like that I'm always going to hit driver. But on that hole, you know, I could have hit a 3-iron today. Would have been a smarter shot."
As for the 13th, he said: "If I had it to do over, I definitely would not hit driver."
Stricker, who was dealing with pain his left leg, said Johnson's ability was simply too much.
"He's got a lot of talent, and he's got, it looks like, very little fear in him because he'll hit one a little crooked, but he'll pull out that driver again and try it again," Stricker said. "And he pulled it off."
Stricker stayed in contention by being accurate - he hit 33 of 45 fairways to tie for sixth and was tied for third in greens in regulation, with 47 of 54. He was 2-for-2 in sand saves, and ranked sixth in distance of putts made at 206-9.
"I never really tried to hit it all that hard," Stricker said. "I did on the last hole. I tried to turn it over and get it down there and did pretty well. But for the most part, I was just trying to chip it out there. I felt like every time I moved over on my left side, I got that shot of pain and it was just hard to twist through the ball. I didn't feel like I had a lot of power."

Farm risk management policy in New Zealand centres on natural disaster assistance and preventing pest and disease incursions. New Zealand should strengthen a 'multi-activity enterprise' view of farming, reduce uncertainty about future environmental regulations and improve knowledge on risks.
Dutch agricultural risk management should develop an ex ante policy framework for assistance in catastrophic events such as livestock epidemics and climatic disasters, as well as a longer-term strategy on insurance.
Australia should improve governance of its drought policy, consider developing an insurance market for drought risk and help farmers adapt to climate change, says this review of agricultural risk management in the country. (OECD Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Working Paper No. 39)
This report analyses the evolution of prices, farm receipts and support to agricultural producers in real terms in OECD countries and other economies. It sets out specific purchasing power parities for a range of commodities to compare developments in output volume and prices at aggregate level.
Commodity prices surged in 2006-08 in Argentina, Brazil, China, Chile, India, Indonesia, Russia, South Africa, Ukraine and Vietnam. Government policy responses to these price surges were not always successful in minimising the impact on consumers and producers, this report finds.
This report reviews the literature on competitiveness, productivity and efficiency in the agricultural and agri-food sectors. It clarifies concepts and terminology, and provides a critical assessment of approaches used in the literature to measure these three concepts at sectoral and farm levels
This report considers the analytical potential of the system used to classify policy measures under the OECD Producer Support Estimate (PSE) which is used to monitor agricultural policy developments in OECD and selected non OECD countries.
This report contains a review of the literature on the role of agricultural research and development in fostering innovation and productivity in agriculture.
This paper presents statistical indicators of risk exposure at the individual/farm level, and micro model simulation results on strategies for risk management in agriculture.

Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is one of the most contagious animal diseases. This paper describes different options for policy intervention in the case of an FMD epidemic. It also gives an overview of the history of FMD in OECD and selected non-OECD countries, including policy measures taken.

Noby Noby Boy Site Hints At New Features
Forthcoming update may include offline multiplayer and new music.
With his sweet oddity Noby Noby Boy on the market, creator Keita Takahashi has evidently turned to his promised update. And if you're curious what that update might entail, you may be able to find clues on the website.
According to Eurogamer, clicking through the daydreams at o--o.jp (yes, that's an actual URL) will yield some curious hints. The first shows four BOYs playing together, with BOY saying, "Even thought it may be offline, I want to play multi-BOY!"
For the second dream, BOY says, "Guitar music are good, but music from catanets, triangles and maracas is something I'd like to listen." So if you're paying attention, we could potentially be getting an offline multiplayer mode as well as more music soon.
In the meantime, the site also reveals that the game currently has 47,685 players, and that GIRL has made it all the way to the moon. Don't worry though, there's still plenty of stretching to do -- now you have to get her all the way to Mars. And maybe soon you'll have some nice new music to accompany you.

How to Create and Wear a Memorable Halloween Costume

...There's Waldo.
i wanna be count Spockula this year. That would be awesome.
That is one weird film. Elton John as Pinball wizard?
You are not deaf, dumb nor blind enough to be a pinball wizard. Plus you never put up with cousin Kevin or your wicked Uncle Ernie
I'm making a home made Werewolf Costume :3
Little hard, though =/
The transexuals in the audience shall go as scantily clad pinball wizard.
I was once invited to a Halloween party only hours before it started. I went to the closest shop, bought some hair gel, and got started.
Shaved my beard so there was only a creepy moustache left.
Slicked my hair back with gel so it stayed that way.
Pulled on a white collar shirt and a black jeans.
My costume was child molester.
I never felt more creepy in my whole life wearing that costume. And I honestly can't think of how to top that costume next.
I once did my normal clothes, with a 3x5 card taped to my chest with the word "COSTUME" written on it.
Flourescent brown, ha!
I haven't gone trick-or-treating for years, and I've never been to a costume party.
I may have to change one of these facts so that I can go as Count Spockula.
my best friend once went to a party as sexy hitler.

very weird party.

Director Statement
The Rise started when ITVS contacted me looking for ideas for a new series of shorts about the future. I had been writing features, one after the other, for years, and it had been a long time since I had thought about a short — but the future angle was intriguing. Knowing that there would be limited funding for the film, I wanted to do something very simple and not be weighed down by creating some sort of designed future. I wanted to do something character-based, emotional, and focused on performance.
When I think about the future and what's ahead for our world, the environment is the first thing that comes to my mind. But instead of gloom and doom, I wanted to tell a story about the fallout that lies ahead, and focus on one small story. I conceived the sale of a home from an older generation to a younger one, giving clues along the way, saving the final chilling revelation for the end.
The story is set in an empty house to give it a timeless feel. I decided to make the homeowners an older couple who were giving up their dream home, a home they built and raised their children in, making it hard for them to let go of it or let go of the past. The buyers needed to be a younger couple living on the edge, more comfortable with the changes the world has gone through, and more able to deal with the world's new challenges head-on. I gave them a baby to create more conflict between them, as well as to give the story more weight. Finally, I needed an agent to broker the sale, working as a go-between, pressuring each couple to make a deal.
Once I had all the characters in place the next step was to find ways within the dialogue to give clues (sometimes misleading) as to what was happening in the outside world, without giving it away. For me this is was the most challenging part of writing The Rise. Film and storytelling is most effective when you can give an audience just enough information to fill in the blanks with their own ideas and perspectives, opening up the story to be interpreted in many different ways. For me, it was all about building tension, not only about whether the sale would go through, but about what has happened in the world to bring these people together in this way.

"I didn't eat the sandwich Daddy packed me for lunch," my son told me one night at bedtime. "So, when Daddy was unpacking my lunchbox, he gave the bread to the dogs."
(Pause, for dramatic effect.)
"He gave, like, a WHOLE SLICE to Walter!" As he said this last bit, he fixed his eyes on my face, waiting for my expected volcanic reaction. I did not disappoint him.
You see, I had been watching our dog, Walter, getting a bit thick through the middle. I also had been very vocal with my family about it.
For months, I kept making comments about Walter's weight and how confused I was that, although I was carefully measuring his food, watching to see that he ate only his own, and wasn't giving him treats or snacks, he was clearly packing on pounds.
(Okay, in his case, maybe A pound - which for Walter, is huge.) Obviously, as I constitute only one of the beings who have power over the food distribution in this household, I am not in complete control of the calories going into Walter's gullet.
On one memorable occasion, my husband happened to be watching as I portioned the evening meal for the dogs.
"Oh, you MEASURE it?" he said, as if this were a brand new concept.
I was speechless. Once recovered, I took a moment to demonstrate, offering visual effects and hand motions worthy of the "Price Is Right" ladies, the proper way to measure the allotment of food to be given to each dog and the disbursement of the food thereof. Problem solved, or so I thought.
Like any good manager, a few weeks after our discussion, I performed a follow-up on my dog food allotment assignment by quizzing the responsible parties on how much each dog was to receive for each meal.
The children aced the test. Guess who failed? The correct answer was a half-cup for each dachshund, two cups for Westley (my parents' golden retriever). His answer for Westley was correct.
For the dachshunds it was, "Uh, like a cup or a half-cup something like that."
1. That is not measuring.
2. He scores a 50 percent on my quiz.
3. Walter is getting (depending on the day and cafeteria server) roughly TWICE the calories per day that he should.
4. Walter is very happy to clean all the food provided out of his bowl, and ask for more. Always. And more always is better in his eyes.
Now, why on earth would I air my embarrassing dirty laundry for all to read? Because I'm hoping that by printing this in the paper, acquaintances, clients and family members who read this will remind my husband whenever they see him that it's HALF a cup of food for the dachshunds.
Repetition, repetition, repetition.
As is my way, I also write of this to illustrate a point. This time, the point is all about compliance - the bane of the health professional's existence. Like when your dental hygienist asks if you floss every day.
Of course you do, right? Or when your doctor prescribed the exercises for your lower back pain - you did them faithfully, right? And you never have leftover antibiotics, because you take every dose at exactly the time you're supposed to until they are finished. Very good. If all that's true, go to the head of the class.
In reality, scientific studies on the topic suggest that while approximately 80 percent of people finish their entire prescription, only about 30 percent take the doses at the proper times.
For some drugs like antibiotics, compliance may be the difference between getting better and staying sick.
Compliance in my field is roughly defined as an owner's willingness to follow their veterinarian's prescribed course of treatment, but it amounts to more than just willingness, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm a realist.
Sometimes we doctors unwittingly stack the deck against compliance.
I may be a health professional, but I'm also a mom and a wife. I work a full time job, then come home to a nutty, tossed-up house with barking dogs, squabbling children, fur all over the carpet and cats that refuse to be ignored, leaping from tabletop to tabletop in the midst of the melee.
Don't even get me started with the tortoise, turtle and fish responsibilities. Laundry, dishes, meal preparations, shopping for various supplies for home, school, office, errands galore. And the chaos just starts all over the next day. Now, add in a medication that must be poked down the unwilling cat's throat every 8 hours on an empty stomach - yeah, right.
Now, I tend to take people at their word. I think most veterinarians are like that.
So, when owners come back complaining that the course of medications prescribed didn't work, or only worked for a short time, we tend to take them seriously and look for another solution.
We might order a bunch of new tests, try new medications, re-evaluate the case from different perspectives, or call in the experts. Much of that may not be necessary - if folks were straight with us from the beginning.
How refreshing it is to hear, "You know, doc, the medications were just too hard to get in - and we weren't very successful doing it."
Now, at least I know it wasn't that we were going down the wrong diagnostic or treatment path - we just have to be cleverer at finding a way to administer the meds to the patient.
So, here's the thing: If your veterinarian prescribes a medication that you know you won't be able to administer as directed, or after all good intentions, you find it is impossible to do - TELL HIM! Better to be up-front than keep him wondering where to go next.
Sometimes there are many newfangled ways to administer some types of medications that may be a better solution than more traditional routes, for instance, a few medications can be formulated into transdermal gels that can be applied to the animal's skin instead of struggling with giving pills to, say, a fully-armed cat.
Sometimes, you'll still be faced with oral medications, but there may be tricks to administering it to your animal you haven't tried - and a quick lesson in the veterinary office will be life-altering for you and your pet.
Sometimes medications can be formulated to taste good even to your finicky cat.
I feel the need to underscore that nobody (even the veterinarian wife of a veterinarian) is immune to poor compliance issues.
There are quite a few perfectly sound treatment regimes for various ailments that I would hesitate to prescribe for my own animals.
Because I know my chaotic household and life.
I can't even get my husband to measure HALF A CUP of food for the dachshunds until I finally installed a cup that ONLY measures half a cup - do you really think he'd be able to remember eye drops every six hours?
Heck, I couldn't, either.
Daverio is a veterinarian at Williamsport West Veterinary Hospital.

Black Vulture portrait with Topaz Adjust and Nik Silver Efex Pro
Black Vulture portrait with Topaz Adjust and Nik Silver Efex Pro
Very effectively composed and processed. The textures are wonderful, and the vignette is beautifully done.
. . . The executional characteristics of the image should not be the first thing you notice when you look at the photograph: you can overdo it. They should support the compositions, but not detract or outweigh it. This is one of the things I dont like about overdone HDR, Instagram and other photo apps the processing is so overdone to the point that fundamental compositional structure is overshadowed, and any flaws hidden. You only see the processing, and not the subject. -- Ming Thien, in What makes an outstanding image? (part 1) on his blog, http://blog.mingthein.com, October 6, 2012
Nicely composed..has almost a pen and ink quality to it from the processing....I like the strong detail and texturing in the head...I'd hate to wake up with that thing looking down on me!
Joel, Nice details and I like the vignette. The B&W looks great. I do see what looks like some noise on the bird.
Excellent composition and perspective, Joel. The b&w is very effective. I too love the details... nicely processed!
I like all of this. I see the noise or grain on the body but I think it adds to this image. Well done Joel.
Hi Joel, love the grunged look to this vulture. Nice work!

Niles Shepherd of the Valley resident, Ann Schenkel, celebrated her 100th birthday with a lunch and party at the facility with her family, friends and SOV staff.
Schenkel was born Jan. 29, 1911, in Campbell and grew up on a farm where she helped with the everyday chores, including taking care of the chickens.
After graduating from Fowler High School in 1929, Schenkel went to nursing school and graduated in 1932 as registered nurse.
For the next 50 years, she worked as a private duty nurse until she retired in 1982.
During that time, she met and married her husband, Charles Schenkel, and although they never had children of their own, in 1991, she and Charles became close friends of their tenants, Shawn Stevens and his wife, Joann Mohn.
Remaining close to the Schenkels, Shawn would help with repairs around the house and would sit and talk in the garage with Charles. It was during one of those talks that Charles asked Shawn to take care of Schenkel if anything should happen to him.
After Charles passed away, they kept that promise.
''It wasn't hard to fall in love with her,'' said JoAnn Mohn.
When Schenkel decided to move to Shepherd of the Valley a few years ago, where JoAnn, working there as an aid, and her two daughters, Shannon, a nurse and Jessica, also an aide, work on the same floor where Schenkel lives.
When asked what contributed to her long life, Schenkel said, ''... hard work and a loving husband.''
A party for Schenkel was held Jan. 28 at the facility. Schenkel's ''adopted'' family decorated her room and provided cake for the residents and staff to enjoy.


text: Chivalry is not dead! Phew. It's been a long time since I've chivalled so when Maldita Castilla's demo asked me to don armour and beard to fight off a wave of evil in the cursed Kingdom of Castile, I immediately sprang into action. We've talked about Locomalito's lovingly crafted games before and this is shaping up to be a beauty. But what is it? Well, the most important thing about Maldita Castilla is that it's not Ghosts 'n' Goblins. The second most important thing is that it's really bloody close to being Ghosts 'n' Goblins.

Initial report on UPS crash in DXB

Posted 15 December 2011 - 09:09 PM
Long time no see - welcome back, Haughtney, and thanks for the link.
The early expiration of the crew oxygen is a major concern, and was the reason for the captain leaving his station.
WHY did the O2 expire so quickly?
Did the fire, or heat, somehow render the system inoperable?
The "malfunction" with the gear, is probably because it was lowered in excess of the max gear extension speed (once down, speed isn't a problem).
Smoke in the cockpit, and the resultant almost zero visibility, obviously became the greatest threat - they couldn't see anything inside, or outside.
The extremely low time on type, and recent experience of both crew members is surprising, for a company the size of UPS, who would have no shortage of higher-time applicants.

The Ergo Mouse's precise control was also not helped by it's poor tracking abilities. Whether it was the sensor (we suspect it is, as it's just optical as opposed to laser) or some signalling problem, we're not sure, but every now and then the cursor will just stop responding or become slow and jittery in its movement. Like the speed of movement issue, this will probably be a minor problem to slower computer users but if you're used to interacting with your computer quickly without having to think about it, it will be a major annoyance. It's also not the smoothest mouse to slide around thanks to some very small glidepads.
Further problems stem from the lack of a scroll wheel and general dearth of buttons. This mouse does have the essentials in the form of a rocker button, which sits under your thumb and acts as your traditional left and right buttons, and a large button that runs down the front of the joystick that emulates the middle button (normally used for scrolling). But without a scroll wheel for small and quick scroll movements or forward and back buttons for traversing pages in a web browser, overall navigation can feel limited. Of course, we can see the logic that more buttons, and particularly a scroll wheel, could make the Ergo Mouse more difficult to use and possibly even counter its benefits, but to have such a lack of functionality is going to be a major problem for any serious PC users.
As for other features, the Ergo Mouse is available in two versions: Large (EM550GPL) - which we're reviewing here - and Small/Medium (EM550GPS). It's a wireless device, too, so if clutter is a concern that's a plus point. It also seems well built with a sturdy, solid feel and a smooth, soft-touch finish all over. On the underside is a battery compartment, an On/Off switch, and a button for syncing the mouse with its included USB receiver. Two AAAs are needed and some basic ones are provided in the box.
Comparing the Ergo Mouse to alternative RSI reducing mice, it's definitely a difficult one to call. While sculpted conventional mice like the Microsoft Natural 6000 provide better tracking and have more functions, they still aren't quite as comfortable as the joystick design. Trackballs are also a possibility and again can offer better accuracy and more functions but can be uncomfortable as well. However, generalities aside, this particular 3M Ergonomic Mouse just doesn't quite cut it. The tracking isn't good enough, it has too few functions, motion isn't smooth enough, and it's just a bit too expensive.
The 3M Ergonomic Mouse is one of the most effective anti-RSI pointing devices we've seen. Its design ensures your wrist and arm are in their most comfortable position and the button arrangement is also very comfortable. However, its tracking isn't great, it's slow to use, and even though you should put your health above all else, we think it's a bit too expensive – just get up and take a break regularly.

sarūpān sūrya-varcasaḥ
ajānatī patiṁ sādhvī
aśvinau śaraṇaṁ yayau
Word for word:
tān — unto them; nirīkṣya — after observing; vara-ārohā — that beautiful Sukanyā; sa-rūpān — all of them equally beautiful; sūrya-varcasaḥ — with a bodily effulgence like the effulgence of the sun; ajānatī — not knowing; patim — her husband; sādhvī — that chaste woman; aśvinau — unto the Aśvinī-kumāras; śaraṇam — shelter; yayau — took.
The chaste and very beautiful Sukanyā could not distinguish her husband from the two Aśvinī-kumāras, for they were equally beautiful. Not understanding who her real husband was, she took shelter of the Aśvinī-kumāras.
Sukanyā could have selected any one of them as her husband, for one could not distinguish among them, but because she was chaste, she took shelter of the Aśvinī-kumāras so that they could inform her who her actual husband was. A chaste woman will never accept any man other than her husband, even if there be someone equally as handsome and qualified.

Bill and Diana Bartley took into consideration their future needs as they age when looking for a new home, but the antique lovers and renovation veterans didn't buy the typical two-bedroom ranch in a retirement community.
Instead they bought a church.
Diana, 54, is a factory worker at Boyer Candy Co., Altoona, for 24 years, and Bill, 52, is the owner of B&B Sewer & Drain Cleaning, Altoona. The couple has two children, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Mirror photos by Gary M. Baranec
Bill and Diana Bartley of Altoona define the long, narrow space which had been a church with the placement of furniture.
Bill and Diana Bartley stand outside their Juniata home.
They are trying to to keep the former St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, North Sixth Avenue and North 16th Street, Altoona - in what was Juniata, as original as possible, Bill said, noting such history is getting torn down.
The most striking example of their preservation efforts is the stained-glass windows.
"I fell in love with the windows," Diana said. "I tell you, to get up in the morning and to see that sun shining through. I mean, whenever I was praying that we would get it I said, 'Oh, Lord, if I can go to bed and think of you last, and get up and think of your first, that would be so awesome.'"
The Bartleys, members of the Fourth Street Church of God, have restored three Altoona homes and prefer to re-purpose. They paid $30,000 for the property in the summer of 2011, and have invested about $10,000. They moved in on March 4 this year.
The structure, which also housed the Juniata Food Bank, established in 1998, was the second church building for its congregation after a fire on Jan. 5, 1919 destroyed the first that was at Sixth Avenue and 19th Street, according to a centennial anniversary historical overview pamphlet.
The congregation's new church, and now the Bartley's home, was a Red Cross building from Camp Merritt, N.J., that was reconstructed at its current location and dedicated on April 24, 1921.
"I mean I just love the history of the building and sometimes I just picture the beds up there, and the nurses and the war going. It's just all exciting," Diana said.
She also wants to "honor the building" where funerals and weddings have taken place and people were saved.
Bill said they discovered online the building was used in World War I by the Red Cross, was once a library for soldiers and an entertainment hall. President Harry S. Truman also was said to have stepped foot in the building, Diana said.
The church, with only nine members left, couldn't afford to keep going, they said.
Robin Emswiler of Altoona had her youngest daughter baptized in the church. Emswiler is the daughter of the late Rev. Walter J. Emswiler, who was the vice pastor at the church at one time.
Robin said she'd rather see anything repurposed than torn down, and could see the aesthetic appeal of living in a church.
Neighbor Sandy Barr applauded their purchase and decision to move in.
"I thought it was great because it was just sitting there empty and ... they made something out of it," she said from a porch across the street.
The entire structure needed some TLC, said Diana, whose grandfather, Paul Mauk, built the Mill Run Faith Chapel.
The Bartley's removed the pews and sold some of them for $29 each to the Boone Mountain Emmanuel Church, DuBois. They also gave them a sound system and hymnals. They left the first floor an open space with no walls, the large stained-glass windows bathing the long narrow room in sunlight.
"Thunder and lightning's awesome because the lightning gives you a light show ... through the windows," Diana said.
After entering into the room through the church's former main entrance, to the right is what Diana called a "mini-chapel," set up with items the church left behind such as an altar and chairs. Bibles from 1873, 1897 and the original Bible dedicated at the opening of the church are tucked away in a cabinet for safe keeping.
The couple have set up vignettes of their antiques along the walls.
Near a side entrance on the left, Diana has a crafting corner where she works on her hobbies of scrapbooking and making greeting cards.
Nearby furniture is grouped together to create a separate living room space in the room. The master bedroom, which replaced the altar area, is at the far end of the room.
Of course, the plan isn't completely open - the bathroom remains private.
They used a pitcher they found as the bathtub's faucet. A separate shower is beside a doorway leading to a closet with a washer and dryer inside. And a second doorway off of the closet leads back to the bedroom landing.
Back toward the main entrance, a staircase leads down into what was the church's basement and now houses the Bartley's kitchen and other rooms.
They plan to put a kitchen upstairs to make a single-level living space for when they are older.
In the current kitchen, 1939 hymnal pages with titles such as "Saved to the Uttermost" and "Joy to the World" line the ceiling. The couple used existing cabinets from a kitchen that was already there.
A large open room next to the kitchen, houses, among other items, teapots from Diana's collection and a pair of rocking chairs marked "His" and "Hers."
Down a short hallway, is a spare bedroom and bath, which someday may accommodate family members with special needs.
At the end of the hallway is a door to the outside. The couple eventually plan to extend a brick landing into a brick patio.
The fact that they accomplished what they did for the cost that they did makes it even better, Diana said.
While the couple is still in awe of their new surroundings, Diana has also found what many others have most likely found within those walls.
"I just feel at peace," she said. "I feel peaceful here. I don't miss my other house at all."
