George Washington and the Standing Miracle
Today is the 284th birthday of the Father of our Country, George Washington. The above video from the musical 1776 depicts John Adams asking the Secretary of Congress, Charles Thomson, if he stands with Adams or the opponents of Independence. Thomson responds that he stands with the General, George Washington. Throughout 1776, Washington is an unseen presence but a powerful one. As Congress considers the question of Independence, Washington's messages to Congress paint a gloomy military picture. Each member of Congress knows that if they declare Independence, only Washington and his ragtag army stand between them and a hangman's noose.
Washington was always blunt, albeit respectful, in his messages to Congress. It was his task to somehow hold together an army paid in worthless currency, dressed in rags, often barefoot, ill-fed and hastily trained. For eight long years, while the American economy largely collapsed due to a blockade, he pulled endless rabbits out of his tri-corn hat to keep his army in being for yet another day. He did this while respecting the civilian leadership of the new nation, a leadership that often seemed feckless and impotent. He did this while confronting the mightiest empire in the world that controlled the seas and deployed a superb army.
At periods during the Revolution Washington led his army with a skill that excited the imagination of the world. After the Trenton-Princeton campaign, Frederick the Great, King of Prussia and the foremost general of his day, wrote, "The achievements of Washington and his little band of compatriots between the 25th of December and the 4th of January, a space of 10 days, were the most brilliant of any recorded in the annals of military achievements." I certainly agree with this and Washington fully earned the nicknames bestowed upon him by his British adversaries: "the fox" and "the old fox". However, what excites my admiration most about Washington during the American Revolution was that he kept the Continental Army alive, and made it a formidable force.
In his farewell order to his victorious Continental Army George Washington wrote:
A contemplation of the compleat attainment (at a period earlier than could have been expected) of the object for which we contended against so formidable a power cannot but inspire us with astonishment and gratitude. The disadvantageous circumstances on our part, under which the war was undertaken, can never be forgotten. The singular interpositions of Providence in our feeble condition were such, as could scarcely escape the attention of the most unobserving; while the unparalleled perseverence of the Armies of the U States, through almost every possible suffering and discouragement for the space of eight long years, was little short of a standing miracle.

November 5, 1775: Washington Ends Guy Fawkes Day
The idiotic anti-Catholic celebration of Guy Fawkes Day , observed each November fifth, was effectively ended two hundred and forty years ago in America during the Revolution, in large part due to George Washington. Here is his order on November 5, 1775:
As the Commander in Chief has been apprized of a design form'd for the observance of that ridiculous and childish custom of burning the Effigy of the pope–He cannot help expressing his surprise that there should be Officers and Soldiers in this army so void of common sense, as not to see the impropriety of such a step at this Juncture; at a Time when we are solliciting, and have really obtain'd, the friendship and alliance of the people of Canada, whom we ought to consider as Brethren embarked in the same Cause. The defence of the general Liberty of America: At such a juncture, and in such Circumstances, to be insulting their Religion, is so monstrous, as not to be suffered or excused; indeed instead of offering the most remote insult, it is our duty to address public thanks to these our Brethren, as to them we are so much indebted for every late happy Success over the common Enemy in Canada.

Myths of MacArthur: Dugout Doug
Dugout Doug MacArthur lies ashaking on the Rock
Safe from all the bombers and from any sudden shock
Dugout Doug is eating of the best food on Bataan
And his troops go starving on.
Dugout Doug's not timid, he's just cautious, not afraid
He's protecting carefully the stars that Franklin made
Four-star generals are rare as good food on Bataan
And his troops go starving on.
Dugout Doug is ready in his Kris Craft for the flee
Over bounding billows and the wildly raging sea
For the Japs are pounding on the gates of Old Bataan
And his troops go starving on…
Anonymous, 1942
Over the next few years we will be taking a look at General Douglas MacArthur, concentrating on his rule of Japan and his role in the Korean War. A larger than life figure even while he lived, MacArthur has always sparked strong hate and love. A number of myths have cropped up about Macarthur, and several posts will deal with dispelling these myths, so that we can look at him in the cold light of historical fact. The first myth up is that of Dugout Doug.
The myth of Dugout Doug contends that MacArthur was a coward, who refused to share the dangers of his troops on Bataan, and fled from them, leaving them to endure defeat and brutal captivity, often ending in their deaths.
It is probably accurate to say that MacArthur was not a brave man. In order to be brave, in a physical sense, one must know a fear of physical pain or death. Some men simply have no such fear. George Washington did not. Throughout the French and Indian War and the American Revolution he constantly exposed himself to enemy fire while he led from the front, to the terror of his aides, who were brave men. They marveled that Washington showed no sign of fear, and his only reaction to being fired upon was a look of minor annoyance. Continue reading
George Washington, Howard Roark and George Bailey
[34] But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together:
[35] And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:
[36] Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
[37] Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
[38] This is the greatest and the first commandment.
[39] And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
Matthew 22: 34-40
(I originally posted this on December 26, 2012. It seems like a good post for the day after Christmas, so here it is again.)
Joe Carter at Catholic Education Resource Center has a wonderful post entitled The Fountainhead of Bedford Falls, which compares the fictional characters Howard Roark and George Bailey:
Not surprisingly, Roark has become something of a cult figure, especially among young nerdy males entering post-adolescence. Although Roark is artistically gifted and technically brilliant, he prefers to take a job breaking rocks in a quarry than sell out to The Man. He provides a model for the underemployed, misunderstood, twenty-something misfit by choice. These see themselves in the uncompromising sulker, believing it better to vandalize and destroy than allow society to co-opt their dreams.
Rand herself would have certainly envisioned things differently. She would have sneered in disgust at the idea that Roark was anything like the slacker working at Starbucks the populists marching at Tea Parties. Her hero was a cross between the modernist architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the serial killer and child rapist William Hickman. Rand's ideal was the nonconformist who exhibited sociopathic tendencies. She dreamed of the minority of brilliant, atheistic ubermensch who would "eventually trample society under its feet." The vast majority of the people who read The Fountainhead might admire Roark, but they'd never emulate him.
Similarly, Capra's audience flatters themselves by believing the message of Wonderful Life is that their own lives are just as worthy, just as noble, and just as wonderful' as George Bailey's. In a way, they are as delusional as the Randian Roark-worshippers. Despite the fact that they left their small-town communities for the city, put their parents in an assisted living facility and don't know the names of their next door neighbors, they truly believe they are just like Capra's hero.
Such delusions are the reason these characters have remained two of the most dominant archetypes of American individualism in pop culture. The pendulum of popularity is swinging back toward Rand but it's Capra's creation that should be our model for inspiration.
Roark is nihilistic, narrow-minded, and something of a bore. Bailey is far darker, more complex, and infinitely more interesting.
What makes George Bailey one of the most inspiring, emotionally complex characters in modern popular culture is that he continually chooses the needs of his family and community over his own self-interested ambitions and desires – and suffers immensely and repeatedly for his sacrifices.
Although sentimental, Capra's movie is not a simplistic morality play. It's true that the movie ends on a happy note late on Christmas Eve, when George is saved from ruin. But on Christmas Day he'll wake to find that his life is not so different than it was when he wanted to commit suicide.
He will remain a frustrated artist who is scraping by on a meager salary and living in a drafty old house in a one-stoplight town. All that has really changed is that he has gained a deeper appreciation of the value of faith, friends, and community – and that this is worth more than his worldly ambitions. Capra's underlying message is thus radically subversive: It is by serving our fellow man, even to the point of subordinating our dreams and ambitions, that we achieve both true greatness and lasting happiness.

Washington: The Greatest American-Part I
George Washington
by Rosemary and Stephen Vincent Benét
Sing hey! For bold George Washington,
That jolly British tar,
King George's famous admiral
From Hull to Zanzibar!
No–wait a minute–something's wrong–
George wished to sail the foam.
But, when his mother thought aghast,
Of Georgie shinning up a mast,
Her tears and protests flowed so fast
That George remained at home.
Sing ho! For grave Washington,
The staid Virginia squire,
Who farms his fields and hunts his hounds
And aims at nothing higher!
Stop, stop it's going wrong again!
George liked to live on farms,
But when the Colonies agreed
They could and should and would be freed,
They called on George to do the deed
And George cried "Shoulder arms!"
Sing ha! For Emperor Washington,
That hero of renown,
Who freed his land from Britain's rule
To win a golden crown!
No, no, that's what George might have won
But didn't for he said,
"There's not much point about a king,
They're pretty but they're apt to sting
And, as for crowns–the heavy thing
Would only hurt my head."
Sing ho! For our George Washington!
(At last I've got it straight.)
The first in war, the first in peace,
The goodly and the great.
But, when you think about him now,
From here to Valley Forge,
Remember this–he might have been
A highly different specimen,
And, where on earth would we be, then?
I'm glad that George was George.
I have never liked President's Day. Why celebrate loser presidents like Jimmy Carter and James Buchanan, non-entities like Millard Fillmore, bad presidents, like Grant, with great presidents like Washington and Lincoln? Officially the date is still the commemoration of George Washington's birthday and in this post we will recall the life of the greatest American who ever lived. Ironically in the length of a blog post we will be unable to cover all of Washington's event filled life, including his Presidency. We will break off at the close of the Revolution and finish off on February 22, the actual birthday of the man who will always be first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of all of us who, as Americans, in many ways are his children.
Only Abraham Lincoln comes close to Washington in our American secular pantheon. Our first president, he was also the man who led our armies to victory in the Revolutionary War, a conflict I am certain that we would have lost but for his leadership, faith and example. In his own time, and from his days as a very young man, most people who encountered Washington assumed he was destined for greatness. Six foot three at a time when most men were around five foot six, Washington was a literal giant for his day, weighing 220 pounds of muscle, and noted for his feats of strength. A quiet aura of dignity and command seemed to envelop him from the first time that he put on the uniform of a Virginia militia officer. He had a hot temper that he usually successfully controlled beneath a mask of quiet dignity, leavened by a lively sense of humor. However, none of these explain why men and women instinctively looked to him for leadership, but they always did. Perhaps it was simply a matter of trust. Although the cherry tree is a myth, Washington was always known to be an honest man, and a man who could be entrusted with great tasks that he would attempt to do out of a sense of duty and not for personal aggrandizement. Such men are very rare in history, and almost all Washington's contemporaries realized that he was such a rarity.
Washington of course did not appear full grown on the stage of history. When he was born none would have expected him to have any historical significance in his life. Continue reading
Charles Carroll of Carrollton: Without Morals A Republic Cannot Subsist Any Length of Time
And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
George Washington, Farewell Address
Charles Carroll of Carrollton, as he signed his name when he added his signature to the Declaration of Independence, was the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. When he died at the age of 95, he was the last of the Signers to depart this vale of tears.
The scion of perhaps the richest family in the colonies, Charles Carroll was initially uninterested in politics and, in any case, was debarred by his religion from participating in politics in his native Maryland by his religion. However, in his thirties he became a passionate advocate of American independence from Great Britain and quickly became one of the chief leaders of the Patriot cause in his home colony. It was only natural as a result that he was sent to Congress, in spite of his religion, where he was one of the chief spokesmen for independence and happily placed his signature on the Declaration even though by doing so he risked not only his fortune but his life if the British had prevailed. By the end of 1776 the revolutionary government of Maryland had issued an act of religious freedom, and Carroll and his fellow Catholics in Maryland enjoyed the same civil rights as Protestants.
In 1778 he returned to Maryland and helped draft the state constitution and in setting up the new state government, serving in the State Senate until 1800, and briefly in the United States Senate.
A slaveholder, throughout his career Carroll spoke and wrote of slavery as an evil that must come to an end as soon as possible. He attempted, but failed, to have Maryland implement a plan of gradual emancipation. At the age of 91 he took on the task of being president of the Auxiliary State Colonization Society of Maryland, part of a national movement to have free blacks voluntarily colonize what would become Liberia in Africa.
Something of a Renaissance man, he had a strong interest in science and in his nineties helped set up the B&O Railroad, lending his prestige to this new technology in his native Maryland.
Throughout his life his two main passions were the American Revolution and his Faith. Like most of the Founding Fathers he regarded the idea of political liberty divorced from sound morality, derived from religion, as an absurdity. He set forth his ideas on this subject in a letter to Secretary of War James McHenry in 1800 in which he lamented the then current American political scene:
These events will be hastened by the pretended philosophy of France; divine revelation has been scoffed at by the Philosophers of the present day, the immortality of the soul treated as the dreams of fools, or the invention of knaves, & death has been declared by public authority an eternal sleep; these opinions are gaining ground amongst us & silently saping the foundations of religion & encouragement of good, the terror of evildoers and the consolation of the poor, the miserable, and the distressed. Remove the hope & dread of future reward & punishment, the most powerful restraint on wicked action, & ye strongest inducement to virtuous ones is done away. Virtue, it may be said, is its own reward; I believe it to be so, and even in this life the only source of happiness, and this intimate & necessary connection between virtue & happiness here, & between vice & misery, is to my mind one of the surest pledge of happiness or misery in a future state of existence. But how few practice virtue merely for its own reward? Some of happy dispositon & temperament, calm reflecting men, exempt in a great degree from the turbulance of passions may be virtuous for vitrtue's sake. Small however is the number who are guided by reason alone, & who can always subject their passions to its dictates. He can thust act may be said to be virtuous, but reason is often inlisted on the side of the passions, or at best, when most wanted, is weakest. Hence the necessity of a superior motive for acting virtuously; Now, what motive can be stronger than ye belief, founded on revelation, that a virtuous life will be rewarded by a happy immortality? Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore, who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime & pure, which denounces against the wicked eternal misery, & insures to the good eternal happiness are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free government.
Carroll didn't think much of John Adams as President, but Adams had precisely the same views on this subject as he stated in an address on October 11, 1798 to the officers of the First Brigade of the Third Division of the militia of Massachusetts: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Most of the Founding Fathers left similar sentiments in their writings. Something to ponder as we celebrate the Fourth tomorrow. Here is the full text of the letter of Charles Carroll of Carrollton to James McHenry: Continue reading

When Google launched its social network three years ago, it mandated that users use their real names, a la Facebook. The general idea was that this would help consolidate a user's identity across Google's myriad services, but it drew some criticism from some Google users who wanted to conceal their true identities.
"This helped create a community made up of real people," says an update on the official Google+ page, "but it also excluded a number of people who wanted to be part of it without using their real names."
Yesterday, Google announced it is changing its policy, which mean you now can use a false name on Google+.
Requiring that users provide their actual names made for some clumsy conversion efforts on Google's part, namely for YouTube users, who were constantly badgered to link to their Google+ account. Now that's no longer the case. Continues Google:
We know you've been calling for this change for a while. We know that our names policy has been unclear, and this has led to some unnecessarily difficult experiences for some of our users. For this we apologize, and we hope that today's change is a step toward making Google+ the welcoming and inclusive place that we want it to be.
In April, Vic Gundotra, the engineer in charge of Google+ announced his departure from the company, leaving the fate of the search giant's social network in jeopardy. But with this week's announcement, it looks like Google is still putting some thoughtful effort into improving the Plus experience—even if it is for a tiny but dedicated community.

By John Wilbert/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Monday afternoon's MHSAA State Tournament semifinal win for the New Albany came in typical Lady Bulldogs fashion.
Great defense, plenty of points in transition and a tremendous inside game for the Daily Journal's top-ranked large school overwhelmed Northeast Lauderdale and propelled the Lady Bulldogs into Friday night's Class 4A state championship game.
New Albany (32-0), which trailed 11-3 to start the game, won going away, 61-44, in front of an estimated 1,600 fans at the Mississippi Coliseum.
"This was kind of typical of our games all year," said New Albany coach John Stroud. "We played some pretty solid defense through the whole game and got the ball inside."
The Lady Bulldogs' post players, Jazmine Spears and Micha Washington, had a field day Monday, accounting for 41 of their team's 61 points.
"Nothing really special in the game," Stroud said. "These two girls carried us all year with the scoring. So it was just another typical game."
Maybe not so typical of the Lady Bulldogs was their bad start in the first quarter. They trailed the Lady Trojans 13-12 heading into the second quarter.
Stroud said it took his team a little while before it got used to playing again in the Coliseum and for his players to shake off their nervousness.
Led by Spears' 12 points in the second quarter, New Albany outscored Northeast Lauderdale 17-5 in the period to lead 29-18 at halftime.
A banged-up Norianna Haynes (MCL sprain) and Kamille Horne (ankle) were not quite at full speed, but still managed to score in double figures for the Lady Trojans (26-7), with 16 and 10, respectively.

Teach A Woman To Make Cheese…
You know how what they say. If you give a woman some cheese, you feed her for a day. But if you teach her to make cheese, you feed her for a lifetime. And possibly owe her a gym membership.
After making Cambozola a few weeks back, my friend Gretchen wanted to learn to make hard cheese. So, last weekend, we got together at my house where all the heavy equipment is, to make some Farmhouse Cheddar. I decided that was the easiest hard cheese to teach, as it was the first one I taught myself.
It's an interesting process to teach cheese making to someone else. I find it to be a fairly solitary activity. It takes a long time and includes a lot of lengthy waiting periods, so when you have someone else along for the ride, there's a lot of sitting and chatting… and maybe a little shopping during the longer waits. Sometimes it is helpful to have a few extra hands when hoisting a cheesecloth full of curd up to the hanging hook though.
I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it went. I did choose an easy cheese to make and so I felt confident in how each step was performed. We even got the timing right, starting at about 1:00 in the afternoon and getting Gretchen back out the door by 5:30 for her dinner date. I heated the milk and inoculated it before she arrived, to get the process rolling, but from there we took it all the way to the pressing stage before quitting time. Because I have the press and it needed to sit overnight, I kept the full wheel and made sure it got through its drying and waxing stages in the days following. I sent Gretchen a few pictures of its progress though and she'll see it again when it makes its debut.
We plan to eat it at our Barrel Tasting weekend, along with the Cambozola. There are people to impress, which isn't hard to do with homemade cheese, but I decided to jazz up the recipe a bit anyway. We added some fresh sage to the curds, since that seemed to be a big hit with the Wensleydale I made last year. And for the first time I gave cheese coloring a try.
I don't think a lot of people consider how their Cheddar gets to be bright orange. Milk is white. Which means that cheese is white. The color can vary to a creamy yellow depending on the seasons and what the cows/goats/sheep are eating, but in general (especially when you use store-bought milk) your cheese will always be white. So, you have to add cheese coloring to make it orange. Cheese coloring is derived from Annatto, which is the seed of the Achiote shrub. It comes in liquid form and needs to be diluted in water and added to the cheese milk prior to the rennet to avoid streaking as the milk coagulates.
My bottle of cheese coloring says to add 2 drops (in a quarter-cup water) for each gallon of milk, so for our 2-gallon recipe we added 4 drops. This didn't seem to make much difference in the color though and as I found out later, after pestering the cheese making supply retailer, 2 drops is just the amount needed to "add a warm cream color to winter's milk or pasteurized commercial milk." They weren't very clear on the bottle or in the recipe book (both from the same source) that you need to add 5-10 times the amount to get "highly colored" cheese. You had to look on their website for that nugget of info… slightly annoying. At any rate, the cheese will be a lovely soft yellow, but not the bold orange I envisioned. Just going to show that even when you're the teacher, you learn something new with every wheel. Cheese class dismissed!

Three up-and-coming choreographers vie for the top spot at Milwaukee Ballet's Genesis
MILWAUKEE – March 3, 2009 – As he sits in his office and opens the next DVD, Milwaukee Ballet Artistic Director Michael Pink wonders what's in store for him when he pushes play: Will it be silly, classical or something truly contemporary?
For Pink, holding an international choreographic competition is vital to his profession. "This is the life-blood of dance," he says. "It's important to generate new work. It's interesting and cost-effective. All of the choreographers are winners just by participating."
Next month, three choreographers will get a unique opportunity to showcase their work during Milwaukee Ballet's third international choreographic competition, Genesis: International Choreographic Competition, March 26-29. Held every other year, the competition demonstrates Milwaukee Ballet's continued commitment to generating new and innovative works. While ballets internationally often follow the same model, Milwaukee Ballet is one of few companies in this country hosting a truly international competition.
The Process
Milwaukee will be among the first to witness the evolving new talent in international ballet production. Genesis will include three Milwaukee premieres choreographed by finalists Maurice Causey, Cameron McMillan and Timothy O'Donnell. The winner receives $3,000 and is offered the chance to create an original piece for Milwaukee Ballet the following season. Second place receives $2,000; third place receives $1,000; and the audience favorite receives $500.
The three choreographers are handpicked by Artistic Director Michael Pink, who watches and critiques over 30 submissions from across the globe. This year, Pink received entries from Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Russia, Spain, United States and Vietnam.
"I look for musicality and creativity in the steps; the original way in which the choreographer brings together music and dance," Pink said.
Pink also invites a panel of renowned judges to select the winner. This year's panel includes André Lewis, artistic director of Royal Winnipeg Ballet; Gil Boggs, artistic director of Colorado Ballet; Katherine C. Kersten, founder and artistic director of The American Ballet Competition; and John McFall, artistic director of Atlanta Ballet.
Each choreographer is given a dance team of eight performers to create a 20-minute work. The dancers and choreographer will then have three weeks, a total of 90 rehearsal hours, to make their piece ready for the panel of judges and the audience.
As in year's past, this year's competition takes place at Milwaukee's Pabst Theater, providing audiences with a rare opportunity to get an up close experience with the Ballet's dancers. In the ornate Baroque and Renaissance style of this intimate auditorium, audiences will discover the athleticism, strength and versatility of the dancers—every muscle and bead of sweat is distinguishable. The show's choreography pushes the boundaries of dance from ballet to contemporary, providing an incomparable performance for experienced ballet-goers, and an accessible introduction to ballet for novices. Milwaukee Ballet also runs a voting process, allowing ballet goers to pick an audience favorite by the end of the show's run.
Genesis: International Choreographic Competition runs March 26-29 at the Pabst Theater, 144 E. Wells Street, Milwaukee. Tickets to the performance begin at $22. To order tickets or for additional information, call (414) 902-2103 or visit www.milwaukeeballet.org. Genesis is sponsored by Briggs & Stratton.
Upcoming Production: Common People
Further highlighting Milwaukee Ballet's commitment to staging new work is the repeat performance of Margo Sappington's Common People May 14-17. Set to the vocal musings of William Shatner and music by Ben Folds, Sappington's quest to create this ballet is also chronicled in "William Shatner's Gonzo Ballet." The documentary, featuring the 2007 debut of Common People by Milwaukee Ballet, will have its world premiere at the acclaimed Nashville Film Festival in April.
About Milwaukee Ballet

Milwaukee Ballet School, the official school of the Ballet, has an enrollment of nearly 900 students at three locations throughout Southeastern Wisconsin.

2011: The Year In Jazz
Grammys: Both Sides Now
The biggest upset win of the night at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards belonged to bassist/singer Esperanza Spalding. She collected the first win by a jazz performer of the Grammy for Best New Artist, edging out Justin Bieber and other pop-oriented nominees. The win came out of left field, since Spalding didn't even have an album in the running. Drummer Roy Haynesthe oldest teenager in jazzwas honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Other jazz winners: Best Contemporary Jazz Album: Stanley Clarke: The Stanley Clarke Band (Heads Up, 2010); Best Jazz Vocal Album. Dee Dee Bridgewater: Eleanora Fagan (1915-1959): To Billie With Love From Dee Dee (EmArcy, 2010); Best Improvised Jazz Solo: Herbie Hancock: "A Change Is Gonna Come" from The Imagine Project (Herbie Hancock, 2010); Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group: James Moody: Moody 4B (IPO, 2010); Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album: Mingus Big Band Live At Jazz Standard (Self Produced, 2010); Best Latin Jazz Album: Chucho Valdes And The Afro-Cuban Messengers: Chucho's Steps (Four Quarters, 2010). Saxophonist Kirk Whalum's "It's What I Do" was voted Best Gospel Song.
Two jazz albums were among the winners of the 2011 Latin Grammy Awards, announced in November in Las Vegas. Paquito D'Rivera won for Best Latin Jazz Album for Panamericana Suite (Self Produced, 2010); and Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White won in the Best Instrumental Album category for Forever (Concord, 2010).
The awards were the first following a hue and cryand legal complaintfrom artists this year when the Latin Jazz category was among more than 30 categories axed from the traditional main Grammy Awards. Many artists and music industry protested the trimming of the number of awards but the Recording Academy has refused to restore them. The Latin jazz community has been the most visible in the battle to bring them back.
NEA Jazz Masters
President Barack Obama's 2012 budget proposal, delivered to Congress in February, proposed cutting the National Endowment for the Arts' Jazz Masters Award as part of a significant budget reduction for the NEA at large. Similar honors for opera and folk music would also be eliminated in deference to a new NEA American Artists of the Year honor for participants in a wide array of performing and visual arts. The changes have been controversial and could be scrapped by Congress. As of this writing, that's still up in the air.
The honor has been bestowed on 119 artists and groups since 1982 for lifetime achievement in jazz artistry or advocacy. The NEA has announced the 2012 recipients, its 30th class, without certainty whether there will be a 31st class. Those new winners, collecting their honors on January 10, are Jack DeJohnette, Von Freeman, Charlie Haden, Sheila Jordan and Jimmy Owens, who is receiving the 2012 A.B. Spellman NEA Jazz Masters Award for Jazz Advocacy.
Putting a Fresh Stamp on Jazz
On March 26 in New Orleans, the U.S. Postal Service paid visual tribute to the music and its makers by issuing a jazz commemorative stamp. In creating the art for the distinctive stamp, artist Paul Rogers of Pasadena, Calif., said he was inspired by the cover art from vintage jazz record albumswork that captured the music's improvisational quality while built on a clear understanding of its underlying structure.
Passing the Torch, er, Microphone
In the fall, NPR announced that pianist Marian McPartland has stepped down as the host of the award-winning Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz broadcast, after more than three decades on the air. She will stay on as the artistic director of the show, which she began hosting in April 1979. McPartland, 93, has not recorded a new show since September 2010. The producers have been making new episodes with guest hosts. Pianist John Weber is the interim host starting in January, 2012. He has recorded 13 new shows for the program, which is being renamed Piano Jazz Rising Stars. NPR said it has not decided who will host the show after Weber's initial series has finished airing. The show is broadcast on more than 204 stations across the country.
Economic impacts
There were significant openings, closings, near-misses and consolidations in the past year because of, or in spite of, the recession. Here's a look at a few of them that crossed the desk:
SFJAZZ Collective broke ground in May on the SFJazz Center, a $60 million project that will become the San Francisco presenter's new home. The 35,000 square-foot building, will house a concert hall with flexible seating for 350 to 500 people, a jazz café, and a state-of-the-art home for the SFJAZZ Collective, an all-star jazz ensemble comprised of some of the finest musicians performing today. The SFJAZZ Center is scheduled to open in the fall of 2012.
Jazz at Lincoln Center announced plans to expand abroad, creating a new jazz club in Doha, Qatar, and four other cities through a partnership with the St. Regis luxury hotel chain. The new club is scheduled to open in Qatar's capital city in April. J@LC has been sending its musicians abroad on tour for years, but this is the first time the NY-based nonprofit has established a permanent subsidiary abroad. The 120-seat club in Doha will be modeled after the Dizzy's Club Coca Cola that is part of the Lincoln Center complex in Manhattan.
Trumpeter Irvin Mayfield opened his second club in New Orleans, partnering with the downtown JW Marriott Hotel to create the Irvin Mayfield I Club, a new "upscale" music venue that opened in July in the former home of the hotel's Henri restaurant. In 2009, he opened Irvin Mayfield's Jazz Playhouse in the Royal Sonesta on Bourbon Street. The success of that club, which focuses mostly on jazz and brass band music, created an opportunity for Mayfield to expand his brand.
In a blow for Los Angeles jazz fans, the Van Nuys jazz club Charlie O's abruptly closed after 11 years of shows by a roster of veteran local players and touring musicians. B Sharp's Jazz Club in Tallahassee, Fla., closed in late June. Detroit jazz fans escaped a near miss after word that the venerable Baker's Keyboard Lounge, the world's oldest jazz club, in business since 1934, was up for auction. The club was sold for $395.000. New owners Hugh W. Smith III and Eric Whitaker vowed to keep the venue running as a jazz club.
After 29 years in business, Stereo Jack's Records closed last spring in Cambridge, Mass. Owner Jack Woker decided not to reopen his music store elsewhere after his landlord announced plans to open a pizza shop on the site.
The music company EMI, home to The Beatles, the Beach Boys and the Motown song catalog, was sold for $4.1 billion through a pair of deals that usher in a new wave of consolidation in the music industry. In a complex sale brokered by Citigroup, the Universal Music Group will absorb EMI's recorded music operations for $1.9 billion, while EMI's music publishing division will be sold for $2.2 billion to a consortium of investors led by Sony. EMI's labels included Capitol, Virgin and Blue Note.
Gibson Guitar acquired the Stanton GroupKRK Systems, Cerwin-Vega and Stanton DJ. They will become the basis for a new Gibson Pro Audio division. The acquisition marked Gibson's further expansion into the pro audio market with loudspeaker, monitor and electronics technology. distributes loudspeakers for the home and professional audio markets.

Other Notable Happenings During 2011:
Rivalry Continues: Michael Berkowitz/Gene Krupa Orchestra drum set was donated to the Smithsonian Institution's jazz collection, joining a set used by Buddy Rich.
Masterful Donation: The Library of Congress has taken possession of a donation of 200,000 metal, glass and lacquer master discs covering the time from 1926-1948 from the Universal Music Group vaults, among them original recordings by Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and others.
Endangered on Long Island:The final residence of John Coltrane, a ranch-style home in Dix Hills, N.Y., where he composed his masterpiece, A Love Supreme (Impulse!, 1965), is now among the 11 most endangered historic places in the country, according to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Friends of the Coltrane Home bought the property in 2006 in an effort to turn the house into an education center after a decade of vacancy and deterioration. Those plans have stalled from a lack of funds. Trust President Stephanie Meeks said, the potential of the modest house makes it a prime candidate for preservation. "The home itself is one you might find in any suburban neighborhood," she said. "It reinforces the idea that great history happens all around us and there is a preservation opportunity around every corner."
Save in Buffalo: The house of trumpeter Elvin Shepherd, who until his death in 1995 performed with many of the jazz greats and who taught musicians such as Grover Washington, Jr., has been saved from demolition. There are plans to transform it a museum for Buffalo, N.Y.'s jazz history.
Duke Support: The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation has awarded a $50,000, 29-month Arts Program grant to the Newport Festivals Foundation, Inc. to support presentations by DDCF grantees at the Newport Jazz Festival from 2011 to 2013. The source of the funding is no surprise since the late Doris Duke was a regular, low-key Newport Jazz Festival attendee from the 1950s into the early 1990s. Composer/drummer/bandleader John Hollenbeck and saxophonist Miguel Zenon debuted new works or arrangements, commissioned by this grant support, at the 2011 Newport Jazz Festival. Percussionist Dafnis Prieto has been commissioned to write a new piece for his sextet to debut at the 2012 Newport Jazz Festival, which is set for next August 3 to 5.
Yes, There's a Yellow Basket: A senior housing apartment building in Tampa, Fla., has been named after Ella Fitzgerald who supposedly wrote her 1938 hit "A Tisket, A Tasket" while living on Tampa's Central Avenue, which was known as "Harlem South" among African-American musicians.
Parking Wes: Wes Montgomery Park, which opened in May in Indianapolis, features a guitar-shaped spray pad which, when activated, spouts water and plays recordings of Montgomery's music.
On the Road Again: Singer Angela Bofill, who had two massive strokes in 2006 and 2007 that permanently affected her left side and took away her ability to sing, performed again in a series of concerts called the "Angela Bofill Experience. On this mini-tour, she told her stories, backed by her old band, flutist Dave Valentin, and guest singer Maysa. More concerts are scheduled into 2012.
Blues Trail: A Mississippi Blues Trail marker was unveiled to honor the late Jimmie Lunceford, who was born and raised near Fulton, Miss. The Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra toured the nation in the 1930s and was considered on par with the bands of Duke Ellington and Count Basie, among others.

Construction of a multisport indoor training complex in Hilliard's largest park has been delayed for environmental reasons.
Bo Jackson's Elite Sports had wanted to begin construction this fall on 4 acres of the 133-acre Roger A. Reynolds Municipal Park.
But questions from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency about the facility's effect on groundwater in the Big Darby Accord watershed prompted additional ground borings and testing, said Erin Strouse, EPA spokeswoman.
Elite Sports, based in Clearwater, Fla., and Hilliard officials have addressed concerns and submitted a mitigation plan to the agency, Strouse said.
The $5.4 million domed facility is to offer training for elite athletes, but also provide Hilliard residents with limited access. The city is leasing its parkland to the company for 30 years, with options for 10 additional years.
A revised groundbreaking date has not been set, said Steve Mazer, Hilliard's parks and recreation director.

October 2010
10-10-10 Great American Ballpark
I came into today needing just six baseballs to break the single season record of 543 baseballs snagging in one season. After a dismal performance at my last game on September 29th, I was determined to bounce back.
Amy and I arrived at Cincinnati around 3PM, in plenty of time before the 5:07 gate time.
We parked a ways a way and made the walk along the Ohio River, but had fun goofing around on the way to the stadium:
Amy was along to keep me company and take pictures to document today's possibly record setting game.
Coming into the game, I needed six balls to break the all time single season record of 543 set by Zack Hample in 2008.
We killed some time before the gates opened by walking around Great American Ballpark, including wandering around the team store.
Here we are outside of the main gates:
I was able to secure a ticket through my Baker's Dozen Partial season ticket plan. Since I only had one seat in the plan, we went to Cincinnati hoping to buy an extra ticket for Amy. Since the game was sold out, we had to turn to scalpers. The cheapest ticket available was $250, and Amy refused to let me pay that. She insisted on sitting outside Great American Ballpark while I went in and did my thing. I reluctantly agreed and rushed inside when the gates opened.
Upon entering the stadium, the Reds were warming up.
Including Aroldis Chapman, the 105 mph throwing rookie.
I tried to get one of them to toss me a ball but failed. And since BP was getting underway, I darted out to the left field seats to get to work.
There, I caught ball #1 on the fly off the bat of catcher Corky Miller here:
I was to chase down my second ball soon after as it rattled around a seat in the same general area.
I used the Cleveland stick to prod a ball on the batter's eye close enough to reach for ball #3.
And returned to left field to snag a Jonny Gomes home run here:
That was the last ball I got during the Reds portion, and the seats were really starting to fill up when the Phillies came to bat.
After getting shut out by the first group, I headed over to right center field in hopes of snagging a Shane Victorino, Ryan Howard or Chase Utley home run ball to tie the single season record. It happened, and I happened to be video taping when it did. The ball hit behind me and ricocheted down towards me, and I was able to smother it just as several other fans reached for it. Here's the video evidence! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTdHPeEtoug
So, at the very least, I would finish the 2010 season tied for the single season record.
In the meantime, I didn't get anything else from that group, and my hope rested on the final group of bench players. Since they were mostly right handed, I headed back to left field.
That's when this guy:
I don't know who:
Launched a deep fly ball. It was going over my head, so I started running up the stairs in the open aisle. I was able to make the catch as I headed up the stairs in a reaching back hand fashion. It was a great catch, and it set the single season record at 544 balls in a single season!
After making the catch, I asked a nearby fan to take a photo for me with the ball.
I left after batting practice to meet Amy, I didn't want her to be alone for too long. I showed her the record setting ball:
She was really happy for me:
Re-enactment of the catch of 544:
It was getting late, so I bid farewell to Great American Ballpark,
and the 2010 season, as this was my final game.
Today's baseballs:
Sweet spots:
Game: 6 balls (5 hit, 1 device)

9-29-10 Progressive Field
I decided to head up to Cleveland today to break the all time mygameballs record of 543 baseballs. Since it was a Wednesday, it should've been easy, right?
I got to the stadium at 4:35, and thought nothing of it when there was no line at the gate to get in. Then I walked into the main concourse and heard an eerie sound.
An announcer was announcing a baseball game.
What the hell?
I proceeded to see that a game was in progress.
I had checked my Indians pocket schedule before leaving. One game. 7:05 start.
What was going on?
I couldn't turn around. I had entered the stadium. It was an official game.
I was screwed.
I figured out that last night's game had been rained out, and the Indians and Tigers were playing a double header.
I sat down in a section behind third base.
I had room to track down a foul ball to my right:
But nothing came close, and the Indians ended up winning the game.
I left after game 1, just giving up on my consecutive game streak and forfeiting it. 182 games down the drain. I was feeling really sick and would land in the emergency room a few days later. In hindsight, I should've done something, anything to get one ball. I was just so pissed that I didn't even want to ballhawk anymore. I thought I'd come to Cleveland and triumphantly break the single season record. Now, the regular season is over, and there's no other games I can attend unless I go to a playoff game.

A bad day. I'll be brief.

That was it.

9-24-10 PNC Park
Today was a frustrating day at PNC Park. I didn't arrive until 5:17 due to coaching, and when I entered the bleachers, the Astros were already hitting.
I thought I was going to get my first ball of the day in center field, but as I set up to do the glove trick, coach Al Pedrique ran the whole way out from the infield as he saw me setting up, grabbed the ball, and hit it back into the infield.
I only ended up getting two baseballs, both in left field, and they were both hit, but I have no idea who hit them. Frustration has set in. I was hoping for a big game, but couldn't make it happen.
Game: 2 balls ( 2 hit )
