States With Highest Totals Include CA, NY and NJ
New York, NY, October 4, 2011 � Following a consistent trend over the last several years, the number of anti-Semitic incidents in the United States remained constant in 2010, with a total of 1,239 incidents of assaults, vandalism and harassment reported during the calendar year, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
The ADL Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents, released today, found that the number of anti-Semitic incidents increased slightly in 2010, to a total of 1,239 incidents, compared to 1,211 incidents reported in 2009. It is the first increase reported by ADL since the numbers hit a record high in 2004, when the U.S. experienced 1,821 incidents of anti-Semitism. Since 2004, the total number of anti-Jewish incidents had declined incrementally each year.
The ADL Audit tracks incidents of vandalism, harassment and physical assaults against Jewish individuals, property and community institutions across the U.S., using reports and data gathered by the League's 30 regional offices and law enforcement.
"While we have come a long way in society as Jews have been accepted into the mainstream, America is still not immune to anti-Semitism and bigotry," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "The good news is that we have continued to enjoy a period of relative calm, where the overall numbers are mostly unchanged and the incidents isolated. But the bad news is that for all our efforts to educate, to raise awareness and to legislate, anti-Jewish incidents remain a disturbing part of the American Jewish experience."
The 2010 ADL Audit identified:
The 2010 Audit comprises data from 45 states and the District of Columbia, including official crime statistics as well as information provided to ADL's regional offices by victims, law enforcement officers and community leaders and members. The Audit encompasses criminal acts, such as vandalism, violence and threats of violence, as well as non-criminal incidents of harassment and intimidation.
Majority of Incidents Concentrated in Handful of States
Continuing a longtime trend, the states with the highest totals were those with large Jewish populations. The top four states were California, with 297 incidents in 2010, up from 275 in 2009; New York, with 205 incidents, down from 209; New Jersey, with 130 incidents, down from 132; and Florida, with 116 incidents, up from 90.
According to the ADL Audit, other states with double-digit totals in 2010 include Massachusetts (64, up from 55 in 2009); Pennsylvania (42, down from 65 in 2009); Colorado (38, up from 14); Connecticut (38, up from 24); and Texas (37, up from 28).
The Audit has never included the thousands of anti-Semitic events and expressions occurring in cyberspace, as it is virtually impossible to quantify.
"As a barometer of anti-Semitism in America, the Audit helps us to identify trends across the country and to take stock of how and where anti-Semitism is manifested," said Robert G. Sugarman, ADL National Chair. "This information helps us to work with law enforcement and others in cities and communities to address the problem of hatred of Jews."
Selected Incidents in 2010

CDO move
The Community Development Office, that houses the Gothenburg Chamber of Commerce and the Gothenburg Improvement Company, moved from the Post Office to newly renovated space at 1001 Lake Ave. last week. The CDO began in a one-room office at the First State Bank drive-through and, in February of 1993, relocated to the Post Office. CDO director Anne Anderson said the latest move was prompted by a need for more space to serve members and the community and includes offices, storage and a conference room. An open house is planned. Pictured, Anderson (front) and office manager June Blauvelt move equipment and get settled.

The open mouth trees that I had purchased are PERFECT! My Halloween parties look a million times better with these great props!
Thank you for making an amazing product!!
Best Uses
When I first received the Creepy Open Mouth Tree, I was a bit worried because it breaks down and fits into a relatively small box. And it doesn't look that impressive. However, once you set it up and arrange the branches and material it looks really cool. It is very creepy and spooky! It definitely put our Halloween decorations over the top. I was very pleased with this purchase! I would highly recommend!
Best Uses
Great size for that yard Halloween project!!. Real erie look. The only thing that could make it better would be to highlight the mouth and eyes more maybe with something glow in the dark
Best Uses
This is one of the coolest-looking Halloween decorations I've ever bought -- and Halloween items have always been my special indulgence.
It couldn't have taken more than five minutes to set up the tree, even though I really took my time arranging the branches. Speaking of which, the uppermost limb easily reaches 6-1/2 feet tall.
We'll plant the tree in our garage on Halloween night along with a haunted house backdrop and tombstones. The trick-or-treating kids will love it. The only possible problem I see is if we have a stiff north wind coming in, the base may not be adequate by itself. In that case, I'll attach mono-filament line to that topmost branch and pin the other end to the ceiling as "insurance."
I anticipate using this fun Halloween prop for many years.

NAUTO's connected camera network and artificial intelligence-driven smart cloud helps prevent accidents before they happen, reduces false liability claims and provides valuable coaching to improve driver performance.
Get the full, contextual picture
NAUTO uses artificial intelligence to understand the road context in real time. Unlike vehicles using static dash cameras, a NAUTO-enabled vehicle becomes part of a network that is constantly learning how to reduce risks - giving fleet managers instant notifications and video records before even riskier situations happen.
Improve Driver Performance
NAUTO takes a holistic approach to driver safety by tracking driver actions and attention. Unlike systems based only on GPS, NAUTO can detect driver distraction — the #1 cause of accidents — and near misses that evade other systems. Nauto can identify dangers and alert the driver, and provide coaching and feedback at the end of trips.
Reduce Liability
Real-time sensors and visual data help fleet managers detect and understand the cause of accidents and reduce false liability claims.
For more information, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
NAUTO's artificial intelligence-driven connected camera and smart-cloud provide auto insurers a complete, context-rich picture of driver behavior and fleet risk, in real-time. NAUTO detects driver attention, coaches drivers and warns of collisions, keeps fleet managers in touch with their drivers and helps them optimize vehicle deployment.
Fine-tune risk measurement and reduce losses
NAUTO's algorithms provide 5X more risk differentiation between the best and the worst drivers. Our data set records near-misses, driver distraction, tailgating, and detects how drivers respond to the road, signs, traffic and other events, providing insight into root causes of a crash. With NAUTO, carriers can dramatically improve micro-segmentation in underwriting, develop new usage-based insurance models and improve combined ratios.
Improve claims handling
NAUTO's instant-upload video telemetry speeds first notice of loss handling, claims segmentation and prevents fraud.
Coaching and Feedback Programs
NAUTO's tailored coaching and training program improves driver behavior to reduce risk.
Targeted acquisition and retention initiatives
NAUTO enables insurance product development for specific customer segments such as teenage or mature drivers and improves commercial fleet operations and retention.

Background: "South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian, a trial lawyer, longtime Democratic leader, and legendary figure in local politics, reportedly told a South Carolina Democratic Party dinner [Friday night*] that the Democratic challenger would send "Nikki Haley back to wherever the hell she came from."" Harpootlian, of course, has a history of these kinds of remarks:
- 2012: "The Chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party is refusing to apologize after he compared his state's Republican Gov. Nikki Haley to Adolf Hitler's mistress Eva Braun."
- 2011: "The South Carolina Democratic Party tried Thursday to make Haley out as a liar for checking "white" as her race on her 2001 Lexington County voter registration application." (Added to highlight the absurdity of Harpootlian pretending not to know where the Governor is from.)
- 2011: "Before the hopefuls arrived Wednesday in North Charleston to meet with local Democrats, the race took a twist after Harpootlian earlier apologized for using the word "retard" on a recent webcast... Harpootlian said Wednesday he's misused the word "retard" before, specifically when he referred to Republican Gov. David Beasley and former Rep. Bob Inglis as "tard and retard.""
- 2002: (From Harpootlian's previous tenure as SC chair): "[Lindsey] Graham became the senior senator from his state — but not without controversy. The 50-something confirmed bachelor was finally forced to face down long-standing suspicions about his sexual orientation in 2002, when South Carolina Democratic party leader Dick Harpootlian referred to Graham as being too "light in the loafers" to fill Thurmond's shoes."
...and so on, and so on, and so on.
Now, I understand that politics in South Carolina is not for the timid. And it should be noted that the garbage coming from Dick Harpootlian's mouth on a regular basis doesn't seem to translate to electoral wins for the South Carolina Democratic party. But neither detail particularly helps Elizabeth Colbert Busch, here. This is unacceptable behavior from her party's leadership; and if Ms. Colbert Busch thinks that it is somehow moral to allow her side's racist attack dogs to do their thing without hindrance then I'm afraid that she's learned all the wrong lessons from South Carolinian politics.
But if Elizabeth Colbert Busch needs a pragmatic reason to do the right thing, here you go: South Carolina's first Congressional district voted for a Mormon Presidential candidate 58-40 in 2012. The district (as near as I can judge; the district borders have changed since) went for Sikh-descent Nikki Haley in 2010. It elected African-American Tim Scott (now Senator) Representative twice, with over sixty percent of the vote. In short, this district is not friendly territory for bigots.
Elizabeth Colbert Busch would be well advised to keep that in mind.
Moe Lane (crosspost)
PS: Mark Sanford has many faults, but being friendly with Dick Harpootlian is not one of them.
*Buzzfeed neglected to mention that Vice President Joe Biden (D) was likewise present for those remarks.

Sure the blue-on-silver faux-flock brocade is a nice choice (makes of think of Jane Mayle, actually), and it's a brave attempt, surely. But Jane's piece just not us. The style of it is not why we're linking this SF Gate post on Project Inform's benefit fashion show in the City by the Bay.

Carnival (NYSE: CCL ) (NYSE: CUK ) has launched an "enhancement program" that will total hundreds of millions of dollars.

Setting up and running a charity – guidance
Transfer charity land or property to the Official Custodian
How to ask the Official Custodian for Charities to hold the title to your charity's land on your behalf.
About the Official Custodian for Charities
Charity property must be registered in someone's name. If your charity isn't a company or CIO, it isn't a 'legal entity' and can't hold title itself.
Instead of registering land in your trustees' names, you can transfer it to the Official Custodian for Charities – a free service that holds your land constantly in the same name regardless of who your trustees are. This is also known as 'vesting' land.
How to apply to transfer charity land to the Official Custodian
Apply online - the form takes about 15 minutes to complete. NHS charities can't use this form - use the Charity Commission's general enquiry form instead.
It is an offence under section 60(1)(b) of the Charities Act 2011 to knowingly or recklessly provide false or misleading information
What information to provide in the form
You will need to provide:
- your registered charity number
- clear evidence that your charity owns the property
- details of the property you want the Official Custodian to hold on behalf of your charity
- a Land Registry number if there is one
- if it isn't registered with Land Registry, a full description of the land or property including the postal address (if applicable)

Help! What Should We Do With This Coconut Jam?
Coconut jam is simple. It's just coconut milk and sugar, boiled down into a thick and sticky paste, rather like dulce de leche. Many Filipino cooks make something similar called kaya, which is an eggy coconut jam with many eggs included - almost like a custard. This one has no eggs, and we're just now getting ready to try it. We're cautiously hopeful about it as an ice cream topping, or maybe a mix in for indulgent cookie bars. But we wanted to throw it out here first - what do you do with coconut jam?

ARCELORMITTAL, the world's largest steel maker, is selling its 50% stake in Kalagadi Manganese for R3.9bn to Kalahari Resources head Daphne Mashile-Nkosi, ending their bitter battle for control of the project.
Kalagadi Manganese is an unlisted company 50% owned by ArcelorMittal, parent of local steel maker ArcelorMittal SA, and 40% by Kalahari Resources. The Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) owns 10%. It comprises a mine and sinter plant.
"A definitive agreement has been reached whereby Ms Mashile-Nkosi, or her nominee, which may be a consortium consisting of some of the existing Kalahari Resources shareholders and/ or other third parties, will acquire ArcelorMittal's 50% interest in Kalagadi Manganese," ArcelorMittal said.
ArcelorMittal will receive cash of R3.9bn, and the transaction was subject to "financing arrangements".
Ms Mashile-Nkosi said on Thursday that she was confident she could raise the money in the 90-day window available to conclude the deal. She said she was bound by confidentiality agreements and could not give further details.
"I've appointed an adviser and we've worked out how we'll fund it, but we've not yet finalised anything. We are optimistic that by the 90-day deadline we will have raised the necessary amount of cash to buy them out. I'm confident it will happen. It's a brilliant project and there's appetite for it."
It is still unclear whether Ms Mashile-Nkosi will bring in another partner. The new deal, which was agreed on Wednesday, will see Kalahari Resources retaining its 40% stake in Kalagadi, while Ms Mashile-Nkosi or her nominee will buy ArcelorMittal's 50%.
In July the differences between Kalahari and ArcelorMittal had become so acute, particularly over whether a ferromanganese smelter should be built at Coega in the Eastern Cape, that Ms Mashile-Nkosi said she wanted to buy the steel maker out of the venture. Relations between ArcelorMittal and Kalahari broke down as the steel maker alleged a lack of corporate governance in Kalagadi. In response, Kalahari accused ArcelorMittal of wanting to wrest control of Kalagadi away from other shareholders.
A court case brought by Kalahari against ArcelorMittal would be withdrawn after the transaction was concluded, ArcelorMittal said, and its appeal would also fall away.
"We believe the dispute needed to be settled for the sake of the project and the employees that work for it. We believe this sale achieves that objective," ArcelorMittal said, adding that it was not leaving SA.
The IDC has the option to buy another 10% in the project, bringing it back to the 20% stake it had before ArcelorMittal joined in 2007.
It was not available for comment on Thursday.
"The IDC will follow their pre-emptive rights in terms of the shareholding they own. If they want more, we can talk about it. I'll meet with them," Ms Mashile-Nkosi said.
"It creates a much simpler structure, which means a much clearer strategy. It will be challenging, but it is in the best interests of the project."
Analysts said ArcelorMittal's decision fitted into its strategy of selling noncore assets.
"We see the transaction as positive for the stock as ArcelorMittal should record a disposal gain of some $50m as the asset was recorded at $397m book value at the end of financial year 2011," UBS said in a note.
Arcelor paid $432m for the stake in 2007.
Neither party would say if ArcelorMittal retained off-take rights to half the production from Kalagadi — 3-million tons a year of sintered product.
Kalagadi was forging ahead with plans to build a R4.2bn ferromanganese smelter at Coega, Ms Mashile-Nkosi said. Construction could start in April next year and will be completed in 18 months.
The sinter plant will be hot commissioned early next month and production will start in February, processing output from Kalagadi's underground mine as well as toll treating ore from other miners around Hotazel, in the Northern Cape.

LOL, I am wondering whether we can make enough profit to cover the tooling cost!
Anyway, it is worth to do someything that our customer need even it is not economic to us! the retail price of L9 maybe a little high than L3!
But it is still very cheap vs other hand work L type LOD! ( I can not find any other make a mold but just a hand work case )
Do you have any updates on the L9? This is exactly what I have been looking for. Put me at the top of your list to purchase a couple of these when they are ready!

Still not listed at MICCA store, over a month later.
The L9 and L7 are now available on Amazon.com

Dang it! I tried to beat the US crowd by ordering from an ebay member in the UK a couple weeks ago. I think it arrived today, but I wasn't home to sign for it. I'll know tomorrow. I got impatient as I saw real images starting to appear in different locations other than the US and decided to take a chance to see if I could receive one a little before anyone else in the states.
Edited by SH0RTBUS - 4/20/11 at 4:43pm
We would have liked for it to be available sooner, but it sat in Amazon's warehouse for about 11 days.
But anyway, Amazon warehouse people are good folks and were really helpful in tracking this down for us.
Thanks for the update Jack!
Score! I picked up my two Fiio L9s today. These may be two of the first in the US, as I ordered them from the UK as soon as I saw them available. They look and sound great! Here are a couple pics with my SR-71B. I re-terminated my UEs to take advantage of the balanced output.

"The Reader" opens in post-WWII Germany when teenager Michael Berg becomes ill and is helped home by Hanna, a stranger twice his age. Michael recovers from scarlet fever and seeks out Hanna to thank her. The two are quickly drawn into a passionate but secretive affair. Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to and their physical relationship deepens. Hanna is enthralled as Michael reads to her from "The Odyssey," "Huck Finn," and "The Lady with the Little Dog." Despite their intense bond, Hanna mysteriously disappears one day and Michael is left confused and heartbroken. Eight years later, while Michael is a law student observing the Nazi war crime trials, he is stunned to find Hanna back in his life this time as a defendant in the courtroom. As Hanna's past is revealed, Michael uncovers a deep secret that will impact both of their lives. "The Reader" is a haunting story about truth and reconciliation, about how one generation comes to terms with the crimes of another. Director: Stephen Daldry Writer(s): David Hare Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Kate Winslet, David Kross Release Date: December 10, 2008 Official Site: TheReader-Movie.com Distributor: The Weinstein Company Genre: Drama, Romance Rating: Rated R for some scenes of sexuality and nudity.

The Division of Experimental Medicine and Immunotherapeutics (EMIT) was established in 2014 from the Division of Clinical Pharmacology and the Vasculitis section of the Department of Medicine, Addenbrooke's Hospital. Our raison d'etre is the translation of benchside science into human clinical research. We conduct our work primarily in the purpose-built clinical and basic science laboratories in the Addenbrooke's Centre for Clinical Investigation, funded by the BHF and on Level 5, Department of Medicine.
Research in this cross-cutting themed Division primarily concerns studies in healthy volunteers to dissect normal physiology and understand pharmacology of new molecules, and trials in patients including interventional clinical trials, end-point and outcome measure development and biomarker validation. The division is developing an active programme to support career development in experimental medicine.
Research within the Experimental Medicine and Immunotherapeutics (EMIT) Division is broad in nature. Our main focus is on translating basic scientific findings broadly within the fields of hypertension and cardiovascular medicine into clinical applications (generally drugs). In addition we are at the forefront of clinical trial research here in Cambridge.
The Experimental Medicine and Immunotherapeutics (EMIT) Division generates leading clinicians and research scientists through a number of courses and programmes. We also actively encourage up and coming scientists, providing internship opportunities for undergraduate students.

CLOCKWORK STORYBOOK: Tick Tock Men return for 30 Day Writing Challenge
In the distant past a group of four writers calling themselves Clockwork Storybook used to publish their prose stories online, most of those tales set in an urban fantasy shared world called San Cibola. That site and those stories have long been absent from the internet, but the writers didn't disappear. The original writing group grew from four members to ten and have been published all across the spectrum of fantasy fiction, including comic books, novels, TV and more. Back then, the four Tick Tock Men would often publish what they called 30 day stories – novel length fantasy stories
REVIEW: JSA All-Stars #14
I've really been enjoying JSA All-Stars for a while now: it may not be about to revolutionise the comic book medium, but it's been a source of fun and exciting super hero action, and is a good read for it. I decided, thus, to take a look at the latest issue of the series, and see how it stands up under the reviewer's microscope.

Review: Blue Beetle #36
Well it was fun while it lasted Has it really been three years? Three years since Infinite Crisis introduced readers to Jaime Reyes, a teenager who picked up a scarab and became the new Blue Beetle? In three years we've seen Jaime learn to use his powers to fight crime, defeat an alien invasion, land a super hot girlfriend, and build an extended family of those willing to go the distance to help him in his battle against those that would do evil. It's too bad everything comes crashing down on Jaime's head in this final issue. Well, Ted Kord
Review: Blue Beetle #35
Sometimes Actions Have Repercussions One of the best stories to come out of the most recent Blue Beetle series featured Jaime Reyes and friends kicking the butts of the alien Reach who were invading the Earth. That battle ended when Jaime and his scarab (the Khaji-Da) severed the connection between the Blue Beetle alien technology and the invaders. With one issue to go after this one, one might think the tale being told would settle down a bit.

Unfortunately for Fig, she's ended up in the House of Mystery, a strange place like

Wham! Bam! A Dead Blue Beetle? This title can't come out often enough, but sadly, the faster the issues come, the sooner the series ends (thanks DC). With two issues to go, the big showdown between the new Doctor Polaris and Blue Beetle comes to a head. Only… Blue Beetle died last issue.
Matthew Sturges Announces Sequel to Midwinter
Over at his blog, Matthew Sturges has officially announced a sequel to his novel Midwinter, something he alluded to on his appearance on the Major Spoilers Podcast. Since it's been announced elsewhere, I guess it's safe for me to announce that I've sold a sequel to Midwinter, which is tentatively titled The Office of Shadow. I pitched it as "a spy thriller set in Faerie" and I think that's actually one of the most accurate elevator pitches I've ever come up with. It follows directly from the events of Midwinter, and will hopefully be released sometime around early 2010. Sturges

Lord Patten is to advise Pope Francis on media09 July 2014 | by James Roberts
Lord Christopher Patten of Barnes has been appointed president of a new committee that will propose reforms to Vatican media outlets.
The committee will publish a report and a reform plan within the next 12 months after considering the report of COSEA – the Commission set up by Pope Francis in July last year to review the economic and administrative structure of the Holy See.
At a press conference in Rome on Wednesday Cardinal George Pell, Prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy, said the new committee's objectives are to adapt Holy See media to "changing media consumption trends"; to enhance coordination and to achieve financial savings. Digital channels will also be strengthened.
Meanwhile a Franciscan nun has become the first woman head of a pontifical university. Sr Mary Melone, an Italian theologian will become the rector of the Pontifical University Antonianum in Rome, a position held usually by male priests.

Man denies offering teen money for sexOctober 01,2013Police: Man offered
A Rutland man has denied charges he offered a teenage girl money and electronics for sexual favors.
Richard P. Tobin, 68, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to engaging in a prohibited act.
According to affidavits filed with the court, investigators with Rutland City Police and the Department for Children and Families interviewed a girl who said she first met Tobin while going door-to-door selling fundraising items for school.
Affidavits state Tobin and the girl became friends, and over a three-year period, Tobin bought the girl four cellphones and paid for their service agreements.
According to police, Tobin made numerous sexual advances and offered the girl money, a laptop computer and new cellphones. He also asked her for nude pictures, affidavits state.
According to an affidavit by Rutland City Police Officer Keith Lorman, (the girl) advised their relationship became uncomfortable when the defendant gave her something. She advised it felt like he had power over her.
The alleged incidents began when the girl was 12 years old, records state.

An exciting array of new ground-based facilities may lie in our future. Upcoming or planned wide-field projects will parameterize dark energy, map dark matter, and pinpoint the baryon acoustic oscillations. Large-aperture, narrower-field facilities will trace the formation of galaxies and black holes from extremely early epochs in the universe and unveil the mysteries of planet formation. I will describe some of the plans and the key science cases for the next generation of optical and infrared ground-based facilities.

East Lyme - The developers of Gateway Commons, a project years in the making that includes retail space, residential rental units and highway-safety upgrades, are asking the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments to help with a "road map" to move forward.
Five years ago, the town of East Lyme had approved a master development plan for KGI Properties and Simon Konover Development to build a 200-acre complex near Flanders Road and Society Road.
Gateway Development District did not only have retail and residential components, but also called for the reconfiguration of the Interstate - 95 Exit 74 ramps and safety improvements along Route 161.
The poor economy stalled the project for years, but the project's developer is encouraged that recent signs of a strengthening economy could help the development's progress.
Newton Brainard of Simon Konover said he sees signs of an "awakening" in the economy, especially in the residential market.
"As those signs continue we will continue to do our due diligence on when the best time would be to move forward on them," he said.
In 2011, SCCOG gave the project its highest recommendation for funding from the Department of Transportation's STP-Urban program to improve the on and off ramps. Brainard is continuing to try to find clients for the development, which he called a "public-private partnership," and would like to use funds allocated to the department of transportation with the council of governments to improve the on and off ramps. In a letter to SCCOG last month, the developers asked to revisit the project with SCCOG, the department of transportation and East Lyme.
"In order for the developer to go forward with their commitment of funding for the design, approvals and construction, a better understanding/commitment is needed on the STP-U funding opportunity," Fred Greenberg, director of traffic services for BL Companies, wrote in the letter to James S. Butler, executive director of SCCOG.
The town of East Lyme has been in support of the project for years. Gateway offers development on one of the largest remaining pieces of commercial property, opportunities to increase the tax base, as well as highway and road safety improvements for motor-vehicle drivers, said First Selectman Paul Formica, who also was elected SCCOG Chairman in December.
Reconfiguring the exits would prevent sharp turns and allow drivers to have "more of a running start to get on the highway," said Formica.
The highway safety improvements mirror those the state Department of Transportation recommended in its I-95 Corridor Feasibility Study. The project would bring significant safety and transportation advantages for the region, he explained.

He's seen fire and he's seen rain, and James Taylor also has seen one of the biggest nights of his professional life.
The enduring, emotion-driven singer-songwriter was feted as MusiCares' Person of the Year by many other artists last February at the Los Angeles Convention Center. PBS televises the concert as the new "Great Performances" offering "A Tribute to James Taylor" Wednesday, Nov. 29 (check local listings).
Bruce Springsteen, the Dixie Chicks, Sheryl Crow, Jackson Browne, Alison Krauss (with Jerry Douglas), Carole King, India.Arie and past MusiCares honorees Sting, Bonnie Raitt and David Crosby are among those rendering such Taylor classics as "Carolina in My Mind," "Shower the People," "You've Got a Friend" and "You Can Close Your Eyes." Taylor himself takes the stage at the end for "Fire and Rain" and "How Sweet It Is."
Still somewhat overwhelmed that the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences' philanthropy-oriented MusiCares Foundation lined up so many stellar peers for him, Massachusetts native and five-time Grammy winner Taylor appreciates having been so honored for his 35-years-plus career.
Zap2it: What is your reaction to being chosen for the MusiCares award?
James Taylor: It's a very flattering and validating thing to have your music considered enough of a part of popular culture to justify building an evening like this around it. I was not very involved in who was contacted and who ultimately ended up participating, but that group of people was quite a dream team.
Zap2it: How was it to hear them perform lyrics you're so known for?
Taylor: We did a day of rehearsal beforehand, and I think it's rare for the person being honored to be involved in that. I just wanted to be there and to thank some of the people for showing up. The band I always travel with was backing everybody, so I was in a good position to communicate what people wanted musically out of the guys I play with. That was the best part of it for me; the rehearsals were just wonderful.
Zap2it: Did you find yourself particularly reflective during the actual event?
Taylor: At a couple of points, I sort of lifted off and saw the thing from some distance and got some perspective on it. When India.Arie sang "Secret O' Life," it was a complete surprise she would choose that; Rosemary Clooney had done a version of it, but otherwise, I'd never heard that song covered. Bruce's version of "Millworker" was a completely new and different take -- much more intense, pointing out the aspect that had to do with workers' conditions. It was really cool.
Zap2it: Did you find it any more unnerving for cameras to capture the tribute?
Taylor: I was totally unaware of it, there was so much was going on. My wife, Kim, and I had our young children there, and I was just taken up with what was happening immediately in front of me, not so much with what the cameras were doing halfway across the room.
Zap2it: How gratifying is it to see Ben and Sally, your children with Carly Simon, venture into musical careers of their own?
Taylor: It's great to be able to talk to them about it. That's the really marvelous thing, to have a conversation with your kids about what you're so familiar with doing, touring or putting a set together or how many places to play. It's been amazing to have them follow along.
Zap2it: In the beginning, did you ever foresee such career longevity for yourself?
Taylor: I was just thinking about the day or the week. I never saw myself still being at it at this point. I didn't figure I could carry on longer than 50 or 55 years old (Taylor turns 59 in March). I see people like Tony Bennett, who I just worked with on an album of his, still going at 80. Ray Charles was 73 (and still recording when he passed), and Ernest Tubb kept playing country music until he was well along. There are people who can keep performing for a long, long time, and I've been enjoying it more than ever.
Zap2it: You have "James Taylor at Christmas" out this season. Had you considered doing a holiday album earlier?
Taylor: In fact, people were talking about my doing one for years, and I thought at one point it was all the record company wanted from me. I don't know if it was stubbornness on my part or a reluctance to jump into that sort of bag, but I had always resisted the request. When we were finally out from underneath our record contract and completely free agents, my manager said, "Well, let's take a look at this thing."
I thought if someone like Dave Grusin would do it, it'd be a blast; he's an excellent arranger and a sweet guy, just lovely to work with. We made some obvious choices like "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" and "Winter Wonderland," but then there are songs like "Some Children See Him" and Joni Mitchell's "River." Originally, we did this for Hallmark (card shops), then the rights reverted to us and we went to Sony immediately for the rerelease.
Zap2it: As active as you still are, how do you assess reaching this place in your life and work?
Taylor: I realized from the very beginning that to be able to make a living doing something you love is a rare and wonderful thing. It's a great life condition, and I think it's the main thing I would hope for my kids or your kids -- that you find something that not only sustains you financially, but also in terms of your quality of life, that you're doing something meaningful to you that you enjoy.

So the company is going to try to increase its profit again, by laying off more workers.
Unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why not just Outsource the Board of Directors ????????
Sentiment: Hold
How could be happening?
Cramer never opened his mouth?
He is one you must close one ear when listening to him!
Try covering one of your ears, it helped me understanding the truth.
Nothing new, STT outsourced plenty as early as 10+ years ago. They went to India and actually paid more for inferior workers & quality.
Workers were used up and tossed away like the cheap toilet paper they are. Milked just like all those pension fund clients. Pretty funny stuff. And now more investors will buy into STT.

Spencer Dinwiddie was widely regarded as one of the top point guards in the country at the time, averaging 15 points and four assists for a Colorado team that was 14-2 and had begun Pac-12 play with three straight victories.
Most NBA executives had the versatile Dinwiddie projected somewhere in the latter half of the first round.
Then it changed when Dinwiddie crumpled to the floor late in the first half at Washington on Jan. 12.
The junior point guard's season was history, courtesy of a torn ACL after his left knee buckled while he landed awkwardly.
The silver lining for the Buffs, though, would be that Dinwiddie would have no option but to return for his senior season and Colorado would boast a veteran-laden group with everyone back that could make a deep run in the NCAA tournament.
But perception is no longer reality when it comes to torn ACLs.
Dinwiddie opted to leave college despite the fact that he wouldn't be able to participate in the NBA draft combine or work out for NBA teams prior to the June 26 draft, despite the fact that he had tumbled out of the first round of nearly every mock draft following the season-ending injury.
This isn't some kid who made an uneducated, rash decision. Dinwiddie is extremely intelligent, spurning an opportunity to play at Harvard coming out of high school in California.
"I understand the stigma," Dinwiddie said. "When I got hurt, do I want to buy into the stigma or say that Adrian Peterson did it in six months? I know I'm not that man, but I'm still on track to be back in seven months and ready for training camp."
Dr. Armando Vidal, who has been with the University of Colorado for nearly a decade, performed surgery on Jan. 20 and said that Dinwiddie is well ahead of schedule.
"I've been trying to hold him back, but that hasn't been easy," Vidal said.
Sure, Derrick Rose and his camp were conservative after his knee injury. Philadelphia held out rookie big man Nerlens Noel all of last season in an effort to make certain he's 100 percent healthy when he comes back (and maybe also an effort to get as many pingpong balls as possible). However, the stigma of a torn ACL has changed over the years due to modern technology –- and also the example set by the rapid recovery of a guy like Peterson.
"Adrian raised the bar, and it's unfair to some people," said Houston-based trainer Russ Paine, who worked with Peterson and is now working with Dinwiddie. "But it's not as if he had some accelerated rehab. The difference was the level of play he came back at."
But Dinwiddie is well ahead of schedule, according to both Vidal and Paine.
He's been sprinting on a treadmill, and recently began double-leg jumping without any pain or setbacks. One reason he decided to go the pro route was he was able to get professional-level rehab with a noted expert such as Paine rather than having to rely on a college staff that doesn't have the same level of experience and resources.
"That was a huge, deciding factor for me," Dinwiddie said.
Dinwiddie will be more than five months removed from surgery when he's drafted on June 26. He's not considered one of the top point guards on the board, clearly behind guys like Australia's Dante Exum and Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart and now also projected to go after UConn's Shabazz Napier and Louisiana-Lafayette's Elfrid Payton.
But Dinwiddie hasn't lost his swagger.
"I feel like I'm the best point guard in the draft," he said.
At 6-foot-6 and 205 pounds, Dinwiddie has the size and strength to play the position. He can score by getting to the basket and finishing (he shot nearly one free throw per every field goal attempt), can make shots from deep (shot 41 percent from 3 last season) and is also able to run a team and create opportunities for his teammates (he had an assist-to-turnover ratio of better than 2-to-1). Colorado coach Tad Boyle raves about Dinwiddie's character and leadership.
But Dinwiddie has been the forgotten man.
That's what happens when you sit on the sidelines and watch your teammates squeak into the NCAA tourney after a 9-10 finish that culminated with a 77-48 blowout loss against a medciore Pittsburgh team in the NCAA tournament.
"It was tough," Dinwiddie said. "It's not how I planned the season."
Now Dinwiddie is content with wherever he winds up being selected in the draft. He's still hopeful an NBA franchise will select him somewhere in the first round, but he also realizes the number isn't nearly as important as the fit. He also understands that unless you are a lottery pick, there's virtually nothing guaranteed early in your NBA career.
"I'm going to have to go out and earn it," Dinwiddie said. "Whether I'm picked 25, 35 or 45. And that's what I plan to do. I'm just making sure I'm ready and 100 percent for training camp and that won't be an issue at all. I'm on track to be back well before then."
Dinwiddie just wants the opportunity. He is accepting that the torn ACL hindered his draft stock, but doesn't quite understand why -- with the vast number of professional athletes, including Peterson, who have come back and played at an even higher level.
"That's my plan," Dinwiddie said. "To show people that a torn ACL isn't what it used to be."
