I have been a full-time bookseller since 1986 and closed my shop in 2001 to concentrate on mail order, appraisals, and do some writing. My stock includes a large collection of books on Baseball as well as True Crime, Ohioana, Botany, and Music (Blues, Classical,Folk, Jazz,Rock). I am a member of the Northern Ohio Bibliophilic Society (NOBS) and A Book CoOp which operates TomFolio.com. My personal book interests include H.L. Mencken, P.G. Wodehouse, Charles Darwin, Jim Tully, travel, baseball, especially the Negro Leagues, botany, true crime, and music.
My books. In 1992 a man walked into my bookshop in Kent, Ohio, and asked for a copy of The Bruiser by Jim Tully. I'd never heard of the book or its author despite the fact that many credited Tully with being the father of hard-boiled fiction. Worse, Tully began writing in Kent in the early 20th century. Nineteen years later, Mark Dawidziak and I completed Jim Tully: American Writer, Irish Rover, Hollywood Brawler. Ken Burns contributed a foreword.We've also written introductions to reissues of four of Tully's books: Beggars of Life, The Bruiser (Fwd by Gerald Early), Circus Parade (Fwd by Harvey Pekar), and Shanty Irish (Fwd by John Sayles).
One of many delays was another book: Catching Dreams: My Life in the Negro Baseball Leagues by Frazier Robinson w/ Paul Bauer. Fwd. Buck O'Neil. Intro. Gerald Early. Frazier caught, among others, Satchel Paige and Leon Day. When he wasn't playing baseball, he was hitting the jazz clubs of KC, NY, and Baltimore where he saw Nat King Cole, Charlie Parker, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, and others. Redd Foxx was one of his bar-hopping buddies. Frazier loved baseball and jazz.
Currently available:
Circus Parade (Foreword by Harvey Pekar). Tully's gritty memoir of carny and circus life.
Beggars of Life . His breakthrough autobiography about his life as a road kid.
Shanty Irish (Foreword by John Sayles). Tully's autobiographical novel about his childhood.
The Bruiser (Foreword by Gerald Early). Tully's classic novel of the ring.
Jim Tully: American Writer, Irish Rover, Hollywood Brawler by Paul J. Bauer and Mark Dawidziak.

sooo many good nardwuar interviews. DOOM would be the ultimate though, for sure. i can never decide if seeing a nardwuar interview beforehand should be a prerequisite for participating in one. he definitely polarizes the people who are actually down to earth vs the people who are kind of impatient/self-conscious pricks.
right on, i mean all he's ever really trying to do in any interview is show that he has done some intense research, i guess some artists would just rather talk about what projects they are working on and their favourite colour

Leave it to the Japanese to find a way to eat your Cheetos and drink your soda at the same time.
Pepsi-flavored Cheetos are now being sold in the land of quirky flavor combos, and they're a hot item in many stores, according to USA Today.
Coated in a fizz-inducing cola powder, the snacks are said to fizz in your mouth.
So how do they taste?
According to a review by The Impulsive Buy, they have a strong citrus taste and a "flat cola" aroma. The snack also smells a lot like cinnamon donuts.
Daring souls who want to try Pepsi-flavored Cheetos will have to buy them on eBay or go to Japan.
Pepsi says it has no plans -- as of now -- to sell them in the United States.

A judge ruled Tuesday that Penn State's former president and two senior administrators will face trial on obstruction of justice and other charges related to the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
The decision followed a two-day preliminary hearing in Harrisburg that wrapped up on Tuesday.
State prosecutors allege that former President Graham Spanier, former Athletic Director Tim Curley and former Senior Vice President Gary Schultz all knew about two allegations made against Sandusky in 1998 and in 2001 but lied about their knowledge when a grand jury convened several years later.
All three men have pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.
Sandusky, 68, was convicted in June 2012 on 45 counts of child sex abuse, ranging from corruption of minors to involuntary deviate sexual intercourse. He was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison.
A 267-page review by former FBI Director Louis Freeh blamed late head coach Joe Paterno, Spanier, Curley and Schultz for allegedly taking part in a cover-up to avoid bad publicity.
The scandal led to Spanier's ouster and shocked the nation after Freeh's team concluded that the school's top administrators had "empowered" Sandusky, the former defensive coordinator for the football team, to continue his abuse.
In July 2012, the NCAA levied unprecedented sanctions against the university, including a fine of $60 million. It also stripped 14 seasons of football victories from Paterno.
Paterno died in 2012, his iconic reputation in tatters.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, during the Twin Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, researchers found pairs of identical twins who had different smoking history. To have a different smoking history, either one twin needs to smoke while the other did not, or one had to have smoked at least five years longer than the other twin, according to the ASPS.
The ASPS said after the photos were taken, they were given to plastic surgeons to analyze the facial features of each twin. The plastic surgeons were not aware of the twins' smoking history when they looked at the photos. According to ASPS, the goal was for the plastic surgeons to identify "special components of facial aging" that were affected by smoking.
The plastic surgeons found that the scores were lower for the smokers in several areas. The smokers tended to have more sagging of the upper eyelids, and more bags around the lower eyelids and under the eyes, according to ASPS. The smokers also had more facial wrinkles, including more wrinkles around the nose, mouth and lips.

By Eric Fleming, Contributing writer
What makes a Super Bowl great?
Is it players making spectacular plays? Two top-notch teams, coached by brilliant coaches, playing against each other? Sure, that goes into it, just as a fun halftime show and great weather play their parts.
But something else goes into making a great Super Bowl, and that's the stadium it is played in. Unlike other major sports, which play end-of-season championship series, the NFL has a single game to determine its champion. And unlike other professional sports, football has its Super Bowl on a pre-determined, neutral field.
What goes into making a great Super Bowl venue? The first aspect, just like most real estate, is location, location, location. In regards to the Super Bowl, that comes down to just three areas.
Los Angeles, New Orleans Or Florida? There are many facets of a great Super Bowl stadium, but in venue selection, location truly is the biggest key. Consider this: The NFL has never chosen an outdoor, cold-weather stadium for the Super Bowl. (Cold-weather cities have hosted the Super Bowl, but only cities with domed stadiums such as Minneapolis, Indianapolis and Detroit.) This means many famous stadiums, including Soldier Field in Chicago and Lambeau Field in Green Bay, are out of the running.
Looking at a list of all of the stadiums to host Super Bowls, you'll notice that of the 43 Super Bowls played through 2009, 14 of them -- almost a third -- have been played in Florida. New Orleans has hosted the Super Bowl nine times, with the Los Angeles area close behind, having hosted seven Super Bowls (10 if you count San Diego).
And since the NFL has decided Florida is the best location for the Super Bowl, only stadiums in Florida will be considered in determining which is the best Super Bowl venue.
There are five stadiums in Florida that have hosted the Super Bowl: Miami Orange Bowl (five times), Tampa Stadium (twice), Sun Life Stadium (four times), Raymond James Stadium (twice) and ALLTEL Stadium (once). Of those stadiums, Miami Orange Bowl and Tampa Stadium no longer exist. Of the remaining three stadiums, Raymond James Stadium (home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Sun Life Stadium (home of the Miami Dolphins) are the front-runners.
Raymond James Stadium In fact, those two stadiums are so close -- even in the rate at which they host Super Bowls (once every four or five years on average) -- that it was difficult to pick just one. But in the end, Raymond James Stadium is the ultimate Super Bowl venue.
What makes it the best stadium for the Super Bowl? In addition to great weather -- a key for a successful Super Bowl and a trait shared by Dolphin Stadium -- Raymond James Stadium has a couple of things going for it that Sun Life Stadium does not.
First, at Raymond James Stadium, fans are much closer to the playing field. Sun Life Stadium also hosts the Florida Marlins, so it needs a wider playing field, which is also used for soccer. This places fans almost 30 yards away from the field, compared with Raymond James Stadium, a football-only venue, where only the players separate the fans from the field.
In addition, Raymond James Stadium has a pirate ship. Built as the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Raymond James Stadium has a 103-foot, 43-ton steel and concrete pirate ship that sits in the corner of the stadium called Buccaneer Cove. The pirate ship was built for the Buccaneers by the same special effects company that builds large-scale projects for Disney. For Super Bowl XXXV, the pirate ship was host to not only the halftime entertainment, but the pre-game and post-game television coverage as well.
For those wanting an up-close experience, Raymond James Stadium was also the first NFL stadium to offer high-definition video screens. The screens each measure more than 90 feet in length and offer a detailed look at replays for fans sitting in the venue.
Finally, there is the turf itself. Voted the best NFL turf in 2004, this is more of a benefit to players playing in Raymond James Stadium, but it is also beneficial to fans watching. Compared to Sun Life Stadium and other multipurpose venues, which are forced to change turf between baseball and football games, Raymond James has no restrictions.
While other venues can make a case for why they might also be considered the "best" Super Bowl venue, including Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' new palace in Dallas that hosted Super Bowl XLV in 2011, there's no disputing that Raymond James Stadium is a fantastic venue, and is among the best Super Bowl venues of all time.

"Dealing with a Chinese Monroe Doctrine"
Room for Debate Blog
Op-Ed, The New York Times
May 2, 2012
Author: Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Affairs; Faculty Chair, International Security Program
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
This commentary appeared as part of the online debate: "Are We Headed for a Cold War With China?"
If China's economy keeps growing, intense security competition with the United States is likely. States cannot assume that others will remain benevolent, so they tend to hedge against the worst case. Beijing is already converting some of its growing wealth into greater military power and it will surely try to create a more favorable security environment in its neighborhood, just as the United States did during its own rise to power.
In the 19th century, a rising America proclaimed the "Monroe Doctrine" and gradually drove the European great powers out of the Western Hemisphere. By the same logic, a powerful China will not want the United States to have close alliances and a large military presence near its borders, and it will undoubtedly try to push U.S. forces out of the Asia-Pacific region. But the United States will not leave willingly, because Chinese dominance in Asia would leave Beijing free to meddle elsewhere.
To head this off, the United States is strengthening its existing Asian alliances and trying to forge new ones. In response, China will encourage its neighbors to distance themselves from Washington and accept Chinese "benevolent hegemony." But most of those neighbors will fear China and ally with the United States, leading China to feel encircled and providing more potential for conflict.
The good news is that Sino-American economic ties give both sides ample reason to keep the rivalry within bounds. But China is dependent on overseas markets and raw materials, unlike the autarkic Soviet Union, which will give it powerful incentives to interfere in many places around the globe and to build a blue-water navy to protect its sea lines of communication. That development will lead to more friction with the United States.
Still, war between China and America is far from inevitable. Both countries have nuclear weapons and both governments understand that a war would be catastrophic. If future leaders are prudent, the rivalry may be managed and peace preserved. But if inexperienced, reckless or over-confident leaders come to power on either side, the danger of war will rise. Unfortunately, recent history warns that the likelihood both countries will always have wise leaders is not high.

Compost facility in Bennington moves toward permit
BENNINGTON The Development Review Board granted preliminary approval for a food composting facility at the municipal transfer station which will be run by a local businessman and his Shaftsbury waste disposal company.
Trevor Mance, owner of TAM Waste Management, appeared at the boards meeting this week to discuss the proposal that would take food scraps from several local businesses and Bennington College, initially, and convert them to high-end compost which he plans to sell wholesale to contractors in the area.
The facility would be north of the landfill and built in an area that has little other use because it would be near a capped landfill that had once been a Superfund site. The facility is expected to be able to handle up to 24,000 cubic yards of composting material annually.
Food scraps would be brought to the facility and mixed in with nitrogen-rich material that would break it down, primarily through its own natural heat. That active composting process also removes weed, seeds and harmful bacteria.
In the curing process, the material, which is now biologically inactive, sits for many months in what are called windrows. The compost is next moved to the storage area where its ready for resale, Mance said.
Because TAM trucks have reason to come to the transfer station, Mance said hes planning to make the operation efficient by having those trucks that come in also be used to take the finished composting out to his Shaftsbury facility where it can be weighed and loaded for sale.
The proposal was already discussed in April by the Select Board whose members showed unanimous support for creating an agreement to place the composting operation on the property of the municipal transfer station on Houghton Lane.
It would help the town and TAM comply with Act 148, passed by the Legislature last year. The act mandates that organic material be composted, starting with the largest producers but getting down to the level of all Vermont residents by 2020. Under the act, waste haulers like TAM are required to collect organic waste, especially food scraps, and having a local compost facility would allow TAM to treat the material more efficiently.
During Tuesdays meeting, a few neighbors raised questions like whether the project could affect their property value and whether the composting would create foul odors. The facility is planned for about 370 feet from the nearest home and Mance assured the neighbors that the composting material will be exposed to oxygen.
Oxygen is the key to success. You have aerobic versus anaerobic. Aerobic has oxygen, anaerobic does not. In the absence of oxygen, methane gas is created. Methane gas smells, he said.
Dan Monks, Benningtons planning director and zoning administrator, said the towns bylaws would not allow the facility to operate if bad odors were leaving the property.
You have to also remember, the town is the landlord so if theres any problems there, theyre going to get shut down, he said.
After the meeting, Mance said he was pleased with what he heard. He said neighbors raised good questions and he believed he had answers that left them reassured. If all goes well, Mance said he would like to break ground on the project in the late winter or early spring.
Before TAM can open its facility, the project must receive permits from the board and the Agency of Natural Resources waste management division and the states Natural Resources Boards Act 250 commission.
The meeting on Tuesday was the first of two required before the Development Review Board can decide whether a permit will be granted. The next local meeting will be on Jan. 22 at the Bennington fire facility.

By Sheri Hack, THELAW.TV
Many couples entering into second marriages are realizing that pre-nuptial agreements ("pre-nups") are not just for the rich and famous. Pre-nups have become popular trends. Making a decision to enter into a pre-nup is a personal one. Both parties must agree, and the decision should be considered carefully.
Pre-nup agreements are contracts that are entered into by two parties prior to their marriage. The main purpose of the agreement is to provide for how marital assets will be divided and also address how debts are paid if the couple divorce. The pre-nup agreement may also contain provisions addressing division of assets upon the death of a spouse, spousal support, child support and custody and guardianship issues.
If you have a career or give up one to stay at home to take care of children, or you have accumulated substantial assets or possess family heirlooms and keepsakes of sentimental value to you, a pre-nup protects your possessions and your money.
Arkansas family law attorney Damia Rolfe says "that by the time parties enter into second marriages, they are in different financial places and may have acquired assets from first marriages that they want to protect with a pre-nup."
According to Rolfe, it is important that both parties voluntarily enter into a pre-nup and read and understand the agreement so that modifications can be made to reflect mutual understandings before they sign it. By doing so, the parties will avoid any surprises later.
Many people view pre-nups negatively and some consider asking a partner for a pre-nup selfish. Rolfe acknowledges that pre-nup agreements may be "frowned upon and thought of as an invitation to Plan B." Family members may question why the parties are contemplating divorce before they are even married.
While statistics reflect that more than 70 percent of second marriages end in divorce, Rolfe says that "in reality most couples anticipate that they will remain married" and use a pre-nup as a tool to address divisions of property in the event that the marriage does not work out.
Since there is no sure way to predict whether you will be one of those divorce statistics, experts suggest that embracing an attitude of generosity toward your spouse and expressing wishes to share your life and possessions "until death do you part" increase your chances of a successful marriage.
As an example, a study conducted by the National Center for Family and Marriage reveals that couples who share their bank accounts are less likely to divorce as opposed to couples who do not share and have a 145 percent divorce rate. On the other hand, if you feel the need to keep your possessions separate and protect your accumulated wealth or your family wealth, cohabitation may be the answer.
Most states allow cohabiting couples to walk away from the relationship without having to worry about dividing up assets and determining who pays for debts.
Should you decide to opt for a second marriage and a pre-nup, there are some limitations to consider:
--Parties are required to disclose all their assets
--Some states do not allow pre-nups to place limits on spousal support
--Child support cannot be limited if the amount violate state statutes
--The court may decide that the agreement is unenforceable if there is fraud, duress, coercion or one spouse is left without any assets and destitute
Absent a pre-nup agreement, if you live in a community property state such as Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington or Wisconsin, state statutes provide that marital assets are divided equally between the two parties.
All other states follow the equitable property division rule of law, which means that marital assets are distributed in a fair and equitable manner.
Reality TV star NeNE Leakes has expressed her desire to have a pre-nup in place before heading down the aisle for a second time with her ex-husband TV Reality star Gregg Leakes. In an interview with USA Today, NeNe said "A lot of people have pre-nups. I don't know why my situation is any different than anybody else's." NeNe receives $1 million, plus bonuses as a cast member of "Real Housewives of Atlanta." She is also star in two network shows, NBC's "The New Normal" and "Glee" on Fox.
According to financial analysts at the Institute of Divorce, it is important to consider a pre-nup to settle property issues before entering into a second marriage when you have substantial assets or have children from a prior marriage to prevent litigation disputes against your estate when you pass away. Florida family law attorney Ron Newlin agrees that how many assets you have is one of the most important factors in choosing to have a pre-nup in place. However, if protecting your children's inheritance is your sole purpose for entering into a pre-nup, Newlin explains that making a will is a "much better" and "cleaner" choice.
Newlin explains that the enforceability of the pre-nup agreement is going to be at issue and largely dependent on the judge presiding over the dissolution matter.
The judge will be looking at such factors as whether fraud was committed by one spouse by failing to disclose assets, whether one party was forced or coerced into signing, the fairness of the terms and any overreaching. Newlin says that "having a pre-nup which voids itself after two years of marriage or the birth of a child is more likely to be enforced by the court than one that never voids itself, and after 30 years of marriage, the husband gets most of the assets."
Making the decision to enter into a pre-nup is an important one that should be discussed with a family law attorney. The attorney can explain the basic provisions and issues that should be addressed and answer any questions that you may have.
It is recommended that each party hire their own attorney to review the agreement prior to signing to make sure their interests are fully protected.

Kansas officials have exhumed the bodies of two men executed for the 1959 killings of a Kansas family made infamous in Truman Capote's nonfiction novel, "In Cold Blood."
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation said the bodies of Richard Hickock and Perry Smith were exhumed Tuesday at the Mount Muncie Cemetery in Lansing at the request of law enforcement in Florida.
The Sarasota County (Fla.) Sheriff's Office asked for the exhumation to collect DNA that could help solve the 1959 killings of Cliff and Christine Walker and their two children in Osprey, Fla.
The Walkers were killed soon after the killings of Herb Clutter and his family in Holcomb, Kan.
Authorities in Sarasota said Hickock and Smith fled to Florida after the Kansas killings and were in the area when the Walkers were killed.

When you think about who's at risk of eye injury, you probably picture workers in a factory or on a construction site. And indeed many eye injuries happen on the job. But almost as many happen around the home. All it takes is a flying champagne cork or a shooting rubber band. Fortunately, most eye injuries are preventable. Take simple steps to reduce the risk of an eye injury and understand when to see a doctor.
What can you do to prevent an eye injury?
To prevent an eye injury around the home, follow these safety tips:
- Wear protective eyewear during risky activities. Wear safety glasses with side shields anytime you might be exposed to flying particles, objects or dust. Wear goggles when exposed to chemicals -- even if you're just a bystander. Protective eyewear counts during sports, too. Any sport featuring a ball, racket or flying object poses a potential risk of eye injury.
- Use caution with chemicals and cleaners. Carefully read the labels of chemicals and household cleaning supplies, such as bleach, before using them. Don't mix products. Keep all chemicals and sprays out of a child's reach.
- Supervise your child's use of tools. Pencils, scissors, forks and knives can all cause serious eye injury. Keep in mind that common household items — such as paper clips, bungee cords, wire coat hangers, rubber bands and fishhooks — also can be dangerous.
- Avoid certain children's toys. Don't allow your child to play with nonpowder rifles, such as pellet guns or BB guns. Avoid projectile toys, such as darts, bows and arrows, and missile-firing toys.
- Don't allow your children to use laser pointers. Laser pointers, especially those with short wave lengths such as green laser pointers, can permanently damage the retina and cause visual loss with exposures as short as a few seconds. As an adult, be cautious when using laser pointers. Avoid directing the beam toward anyone's eyes.
- Be careful when cooking or using hot objects. Use grease shields to prevent the splattering of hot grease or oil. Avoid using a curling iron near your eyes.
- Eliminate hazards that may cause falls. Secure rugs and railings. Consider covering sharp furniture edges and corners with a cushioning material, especially if a child or elderly adult lives in your home.
- Forgo backyard fireworks. Leave fireworks to trained professionals.
- Take caution when opening a champagne bottle. Don't shake the bottle. Point the bottle at a 45-degree angle away from yourself and any bystanders. Firmly place your palm over the cork while removing the wire hood. Place a towel over the entire top of the bottle, grasp the cork and slowly twist the bottle until the cork is almost out of the neck. To prevent the cork from being discharged like a missile, maintain slight downward pressure on the cork just as it comes out of the bottle.
- Use car seats. Make sure your child is properly secured in a car seat and that the seat belt or shoulder belt fits tightly. Don't allow a child age 12 or younger to ride in the front seat. Store loose items in your trunk or secure them to the floor of your vehicle.

In recent years, lasers with ultrashort pulses (USP) down to the femtosecond range have become established on an industrial scale.

Throughout his career, Munich-born tenor Jonas Kaufmann has allowed his natural curiosity to lead him through an astonishingly broad and deep range of repertoire, from bel canto to Verdi and Puccini heroes to Wagner. Whether singing Maurizio in Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur, Florestan in Beethoven's Fidelio, Cavaradossi, Alfredo, Werther or Don Carlos, or an ever increasing number of Wagner's heroic roles, Kaufmann's keen and questing mind and explorer's spirit have led him to the world's greatest opera houses and concert stages. Along the way, critics and public have responded with delight to his communicative artistry: "Kaufmann's special quality, one he shares with other truly great singers, is his mastery of quiet, intimate narrative", stated the independent review blog Music OMH, "voiced with such intensity that it creates an astonishing sense of anticipation for each word. This is the art of the Lieder singer."
In recent years, Wagner has played an increasingly important part in Kaufmann's repertoire. His first staged performances of the title role of Wagner's Parsifal took place in Zurich. His portrayal of Siegmund in Wagner's Die Walküre at the Metropolitan Opera conducted by James Levine and directed by Robert Lepage garnered significant critical acclaim, as did his performances in the title role of Lohengrin in Munich and at the Bayreuth Festival. Reviewing the DVD from Munich (Decca), Gramophone stated, "Kaufmann's humanity lies essentially in his singing, but he plays the part with a naturalness, an absence of stagey "attitude", that is rare indeed . . . And his singing is surpassingly fine throughout. This is the Lohengrin voice of dreams: both romantic and heroic, with a gentle, well nourished warmth, capable of a perfectly graduated diminuendo to pianissimo."
Kaufmann has worked with the foremost opera conductors of the age, including James Levine, Antonio Pappano, Claudio Abbado, Sir Charles Mackerras and Daniel Barenboim; he has appeared in concert with such acclaimed orchestras and ensembles as Berlin Philharmonic under both Sir Simon Rattle and Nikolaus Harnoncourt, the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra under Franz Welser-Möst and the Vienna Philharmonic under Helmut Rilling. With his recital partner, Helmut Deutsch, he has appeared in recitals in all the major musical capitals, and at the Munich and Salzburg Festivals. At the close of 2012, he will be at La Scala for Lohengrin, under the direction of Daniel Barenboim, and in 2013 he returns to the Metropolitan Opera for Parsifal under Daniele Gatti, a role he will reprise at the Vienna State Opera under Franz Welser-Möst, as well as performing in a special Wagner Anniversary Celebration concert in Dresden. The tenor travels to the United States, Canada, Austria and Italy for recitals, and performs in Il Trovatore in Munich and Don Carlo in Munich, Salzburg and London.
A prolific recording artist, Jonas Kaufmann's Universal Classics discography is particularly distinguished. Soon to be released are Kaufmann's Wagner recital with Donald Runnicles and the Orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin as well as Verdi's Requiem and the DVD of Gounod's Faust. In 2012, Decca released DVDs of his performances in Humperdinck's rarely-performed Königskinder, as well as his acclaimed performances in Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur with Angela Gheorghiu, while Deutsche Grammophon released the Metropolitan Opera's Ring on DVD. He can also be seen on other Decca DVDs including Lohengrin from Munich, Carmen from the Royal Opera House, Werther from Paris, Der Rosenkavalier from Munich and Tosca from Opernhaus Zurich. Other Decca releases include the acclaimed Fidelio from the Lucerne Festival and Kaufmann's solo recordings: Romantic Arias and Sehnsucht, a collection of German Opera Arias with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra conducted by Claudio Abbado, Schubert's Die schöne Müllerin with Helmut Deutsch and a collection of Verismo Arias with Antonio Pappano and the orchestra of Santa Cecilia in Rome.
Jonas Kaufmann completed his musical studies in his native Munich, participated in masterclasses with James King, Hans Hotter and Josef Metternich and subsequently perfected his vocal technique with Michael Rhodes. He began his professional career at the Staatstheater Saarbrücken in 1994 and was soon invited to make debuts at the Stuttgart Opera and Hamburg State Opera. International debuts at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Paris Opera and the Teatro alla Scala followed.
Kaufmann has won many awards and prizes, including a 2012 ECHO Klassik for "Best Opera Recording" (Fidelio) and the Bayerische Europamedaille (2012) in recognition of services rendered in promoting the reputation of Bavaria in Europe. In 2011 he received the Gerda Lissner Foundation Charity prize and also won Musical America's "Vocalist of the year", a Gramophone Classical Music Award for Verismo Arias and the coveted Opera News Award.

State, Entergy agree: No delay to hearings
MONTPELIER Both the Shumlin administration and Entergy Nuclear have finally agreed on something next weeks hearings on the relicensing of the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant should go ahead as planned.
In comments filed Wednesday with the Public Service Board, both the Department of Public Service and Entergy Nuclear said the postponement suggested by the New England Coalition last week would cause enormous inconvenience on the board, the parties and the witnesses, in the words of Entergy attorney John H. Marshall, of the law firm of Downs Rachlin Martin, one of three law firms representing Entergy in the case.
Marshall wrote that Entergy and other parties to the Public Service Board case had been engaged in substantial preparation for the technical hearing. These efforts will have been wasted if NEC now succeeds in having the technical hearing stayed.
The state agreed.
The Board should not suspend these proceedings pending the resolution of Entergys appeal. It is exceedingly unlikely that a decision in Entergys appeal will moot these proceedings, wrote Geoff Commons, director of public advocacy for the Department of Public Service, the state agency that acts as the publics advocate in such cases.
The small risk of such an outcome must be weighed against the certainty that a stay would waste the efforts of the Board and the parties in preparing for next weeks technical hearing.
Commons also noted that granting the New England Coalitions motion would delay by months or years the ultimate resolution of whether Entergy should be allowed to operate Vermont Yankee for another 20 years.
Commons wrote that the two weeks of technical hearings are due to start in five days, and that more than 30 witnesses are expected to testify. He noted that all the parties had submitted extensive prefiled testimony, produced discovery responses, taken depositions, defended depositions, as well as preparing witnesses.
Granting NECs request would promote inefficiency, not efficiency, in light of these extensive preparations and the looming commencement of the technical hearings, he added.
Appeals filed with the Vermont Supreme Court can take months if not years, he said, referring to the Entergy appeal, which prompted the coalitions motion to stay the proceedings until the states high court had settled Entergys legal challenge.
On top of that, Commons wrote, the record in this docket may once again become stale, and the board may be required to start over for a third time.
Meanwhile, Entergy will continue to operate the Vermont Yankee Station long after its promised shutdown date of March 21, 2012, without a certificate of public good, he said.
Plus, he said, recent history and the instant proceeding make clear that Entergy is a tireless, creative litigant that will press its case in every forum to which it can gain access.
Marshall also suggested that the Public Service Board may consider refraining from issuing a final decision until the Vermont Supreme Court issues its decision on Entergys appeal.
The Public Service Board has ruled that Entergy is operating Vermont Yankee without proper state permits, since its original certificate of public good expired in March. Entergy contends that since it had applied for renewal, and the board hadnt ruled by March, it could continue to operate legally.
The board has held that such operation is unlawful and that it may be a factor warranting denial of Entergy VYs pending petition, Marshall wrote.
If the PSB rejects Entergys request for a new certificate, but the Vermont Supreme Court agrees with Entergys appeal, the boards final decision would have to be reversed.
The Public Service Board is expected to make a decision on the New England Coalitions motion quickly.

Galloping backward with school district consolidationApril 27,2014
When Robert Naisbitt published (in 1982) his seminal treatment (entitled Megatrends) of the emerging characteristics of the third wave (what is now called postindustrial society), he advised that it is important to be riding the horse of history in the direction the horse is going.
Those who might be tempted to support the current bill in the Legislature to consolidate school districts should be advised that this particular horse is galloping backward straight into the bowels of the past: the second wave, the concentrated, dehumanizing, hierarchical structure and politics of urban-industrial society.
The world, on the other hand (and especially Vermont), is fully engaged in future: what some have called the techno-polities of a more humane, decentralized and (most importantly) democratic postindustrial world. I say techno politics to emphasize that the keys to this future are the (still developing) possibilities of the computer and its creation of the information society.
I intend here no strict analysis of the technical faults of H.883, which have been (with devastating effect I might add) already critiqued on these pages. But it is important to understand that this bill is conservative in the behavioral sense perpetuating a process that has long since crested and passed: the process of increasing centralism, hierarchy and (yes) inhumanity in politics and governance.
This critique is especially important because Vermont is so deeply committed to the third wave. Indeed, when I read Naisbitts book more than 30 years ago I noted in a margin (when he wrote agricultural and informational societies are decentralized ) This is Vermont! For even then we were a leader in information technology.
In fact Vermont had (despite its bucolic reputation) been a leader in technology from the beginning. For my own part I once wrote that: while Vermont contributed almost none of the bulk of the industrial revolution, it contributes an amazing amount of the brains, given its tiny population.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, so can be a causal flow chart (honest). I urge readers to take a moment to follow the arrows in the accompanying diagram. Here I outline the specifics of the model.
In short the bill to streamline the educational governance structure in Vermont is a giant step toward what political scientists often call marketplace politics which features organized groups buying and selling influence in a political marketplace.
It is designed to be fair of course and your vote is your currency. Our centralized marketplace in Vermont is better than it is in most states. But one of the reasons for that is because it is supported by a couple of centuries of decentralized small town democracy. And make no mistake; this bill is a major blow against small town democracy.
As Vermonts own John Dewey (who was one of Americas all-time leading political philosophers) once said: Democracy must begin at home, and its home is the small community. And knowing Dewey, is there any doubt that he might have added; and face-to-face democratic governance in local education is the soul of the small community?
On a personal note, Ive been studying and writing about democracy in Vermont for half a century. I cant remember a more serious threat to it. Please. Defeat this bill.

It was New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to the rescue when a big spider crawled onto his desk during a visit by local schoolchildren.
In a video posted online, several of the students point out the arachnid near Christie's phone.
The governor's response? He quickly smashes the spider, then wipes the remains on his pants.
"That's also one of the fun parts of being governor. Any bugs on your desk you're allowed to kill them and not get in trouble," Christie says on the video posted by his office.
The kids may have loved it, but PETA says the governor missed out on a teachable moment.
"He probably did it without thinking," the group's president, Ingrid Newkirk said in a statement. "Some people put the spider outside, but spiders are often scary to people, and that can prevent them from pondering their worth."

Its 7 a.m. You are half awake. Your daughter wants to debate about her clothes while you are scrambling to find your briefcase and keys.
You barely make it out of the door with both shoes on, traffic seems endless as you break a sweat before even getting to work.
It's the type of morning many suffer through often.
And spending a morning like that is a sure-fire way to ruin your day, said Standolyn Robertson, founder of Things In Place, a personal organizing business.
"It is hard to have a good day if it is started on the wrong foot," she said. "If you are overwhelmed from the beginning, everything else can seem more frustrating throughout the day."
Set A Routine
Robertson said making a morning routine with your family and working together to stick to it can greatly reduce your daily stress.
She said to take time and specifically plan how your morning will go, asking each family member what his or her ideal morning routine would be.
Amy Allen Clark, founder of MomAdvice.com, said actually writing this routine down and hanging it on the refrigerator can ensure everyone is aware of it.
And Clark said to make sure to keep the children involved.
"Children love routines and they love to know what to expect out of their day," Clark said. "It is much easier on the entire family if everyone knows what they need to accomplish for that day."
The Night Before
Both Robertson and Clark said the best way to have a stress-free morning is to prepare the night before.
"You should wake up to nice relaxing morning where things are already done," Robertson said. "You don't want to be doing any business in the morning."
Robertson said all dried goods should be placed in lunches. Add refrigerated items quickly in the mornings.
Backpacks and briefcases should be by the front door with all homework done, papers signed and ready to go.
Any family discussion should also be had the night before, Robertson said.
"Children should not be trying to sell their parents wrapping paper for a fundraiser on the way to school," she said.
Clark said everyone should have their clothes picked out and set to go before they go to bed. This saves times and prevents arguments.
Clark said a great way to avoid those morning clothing arguments is to get an organizer that has spots for each day of the week. Children can pick out their clothes for the week and you can review them together.
"Doing this on a Saturday afternoon is a lot less stressful than doing it during a weekday morning," she said. "Get in the routine of doing this with your child and it will save you both a lot of hassle and heartache."
What Works For You
When it comes to getting out of bed and facing the day, everyone is different.
Robertson said acknowledging that and working around it can help with everyone's morning moods, creating for an easier routine.
"People need to wake up in a way that works for them, no matter what their age," she said. "Matching what you need so that you wake up and feel good about that morning is essential."

Project Runway Recap: Timothy cast as anarchist kook
For the first time in 12 seasons of "Project Runway," two of the contestants are homies -- a pair of artists from Milwaukee.
Frank Caliendo a hit with the home crowd, even with the misses
Never underestimate the loyalty of a Milwaukee crowd when it comes to supporting one of its own.
That was the key takeaway at the Riverside Theater Saturday night before comedian Frank Caliendo even stepped on stage. »Read Full Article(8)

Soulstice Theatre can't find spark in Woody Allen's 'God'
In Woody Allen's movie "Love and Death," Boris (Allen) asks that quintessential Allen question: "What if there is no God?" Ten years later, in "The Purple Rose of Cairo," Mia Farrow's Cecilia answers, in words that would give any actor pause: A world without God, she tells Tom (Jeff Daniels), "would be like a movie with no point, and no happy ending."
Hence, it's no surprise that the dilemma opening "God" — a one-act Allen play written in the same year as "Love and Death" that's now being staged by Soulstice Theatre — involves a playwright named Hepatitis (Tim Kietzman) and an actor named Diabetes (Joe Dolan), struggling to come up with an ending for a play. »Read Full Article

Great Design Documentaries
For this week's Design Ideas, you're reaping the benefit of a recent sick day. The cure for my cold was sleep, lots of liquids and plenty of Internet scavenging.
I happened to ask myself: What are the best documentaries about design?Here are a few that make my list. Some you'll have heard of, others I dug out of the recesses of the Internet, my DVD closet and the minds of design-interested chums who were also online. Most are readily available at Netflix and elsewhere. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Roger Hodgson supersizes Supertramp tunes at Potawatomi concert
Funny that one of Supertramp's most famous songs is the singalong love fest "Give a Little Bit." As a performer and as a composer, Roger Hodgson, co-founder and a former chief architect of the pop-flavored progressive rock band that achieved stardom in the '70s and '80s, doesn't seem to understand the definition of "little bit."
That was abundantly clear at Hodgson's show at the Potawatomi Bingo Casino's Northern Lights Theater on Wednesday, the first of a sold-out, four-evening residency running through Saturday. Surprised? Don't be. As Hodgson stated at the start of the show, Supertramp broke out in Milwaukee — and judging by the series of standing ovations — people in Milwaukee still adore Hodgson. »Read Full Article(6)

Contrasting productions demonstrate power of 'Fiddler on the Roof'
Is it really possible to grow tired of "Fiddler on the Roof" — a musical, which, as Alisa Solomon notes in her extraordinary book on "Fiddler," has seeped into our culture "like no other musical before or since"?
Both the Fireside Dinner Theatre in Fort Atkinson and Children's Theater of Madison obviously don't think so. Last weekend, both of these Wisconsin companies opened their fifth productions of "Fiddler," featuring veterans Ed Flesch (Fireside) and Brian Mani (Children's Theater). And since I, too, can never have my fill of "Fiddler," I hit the road to see both of them. »Read Full Article

Rude awakening: City resident jumps out of bed to interrupt burglaryAnthony Edwards / Staff Photo
Police officers use a trained dog to track a burglary suspect Thursday morning on Williams Street in Rutland.
A city resident dressed in only his boxer shorts ran after a burglar who tried to break down his bedroom door Thursday morning, according to Rutland City Police.
Officers were called to Library Avenue at just after 10:30 a.m. by a man who told police he was awakened by an intruder trying to force his way into the bedroom.
The resident told police he opened the door to find a man hed never seen before standing outside his upstairs bedroom.
The intruder bolted for the door, followed by the resident, who police did not identify. Interviewed at his home Thursday, the man declined to allow his name to be used.
Police said the chase ended in the middle of the street outside the home, where the resident grabbed the intruders jacket and yanked him to an abrupt stop.
A brief verbal exchange followed, police said, with the resident demanding to know who the man was. The intruder responding with a name that police believe was false.
The intruder said he was instructed to go to the home to meet someone, according to police, then demanded that the resident let him go.
The intruder then ran east toward Grove Street.
City police along with dogs from the Vermont State Police and state Fish & Wildlife Department tried to follow the suspects scent as far as the Rutland transit center several blocks to the south. There, the trail went cold.
We think he may have used a vehicle or gotten a ride, said Rutland Police Sgt. John Sly.
No one was injured in the incident and no weapons were involved.
The suspect was described as a white man possibly in his early 20s. He stood about 5 foot 8 to 5 foot 10 inches tall, with dark brown hair and a slender build. The suspect was wearing jeans and a white and tan colored Spyder-style long-sleeved shirt or jacket.
Police said the intruder left the residence with a yellow pillow case with a floral pattern. Police believe items stolen from the home were inside the pillow case.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Rutland City Police at 773-1816.
