Letts we forget
Page Tools
Portrait of former DJ, musician, and now film-maker Don Letts.

Jo Roberts asks filmmaker Don Letts about the inspiration for his celluloid snapshot of the genre.
Want to talk about punk? Filmmaker Don Letts is your man. He was there in London in the 1970s, not just watching the counter-culture unfold, but living it, feeding it.
Back then, the dreadlocked Letts was an influential DJ at London's famous Roxy club, spinning hardcore dub reggae for the punks because it was all he had.
"Turns out that the punks loved it," laughs Letts. "It was very anti-establishment, they loved the emphasis of the bass lines. They didn't mind the weed, either."
A close friend of the Clash (he made the celebrated documentary on them, Westway to the World, and a member of post-Clash band Big Audio Dynamite with guitarist Mick Jones), Letts is also widely credited with the dubby reggae that infiltrated the Clash's material.
How close a friend? To say he and the late Clash singer Joe Strummer were close is an understatement.
"He lived in my house for a while; we shared girlfriends, all kinds of stuff," says Letts. "I wasn't happy about that moment (turns out the woman in question was Letts' girlfriend first), but it's cool. I love all the drama. I look back on it all with great fondness."
Letts has dedicated his latest film, Punk: Attitude, to Strummer. "I felt like he was looking over my shoulder the whole time," he says.
The secret to understanding Letts' take on punk is in the title of his film, which has its premiere Australian screening tonight for the Melbourne International Film Festival.
Punk, you see, is exactly that in Letts' book: attitude. Not a haircut, not a style of clothing or music. And certainly not a time period encapsulated in the 1970s.
"It came to me that this over-emphasis of the late '70s incarnation of punk sort of trivialises the bigger idea, and that is that punk didn't begin and end in the '70s," he says. "It's part of an ongoing dynamic that is counter-culture."
Taking that approach meant doors opened quickly for Letts (although it doubtlessly helped that he already knew more than half of his interviewees).
He gained interviews with everyone from Henry Rollins to Jello Biafra, from Chrissie Hynde to Thurston Moore, from John Cooper-Clarke to Jim Jarmusch.
"It wasn't a nostalgic look back," he says. "As far as I'm concerned, punk isn't something to look back on, it's something to look forward to."
So Letts' film also features artists active in the post-'70s punk boom that he saw as championing counter-culture: Nirvana, Sonic Youth, even the emergence of hip-hop - that was a "punk-rock moment", he says.
There were people Letts wanted to interview who were unavailable, such as Patti Smith, who was on the road, and Iggy Pop, who was shooting a BBC documentary. "And Lou Reed was just Lou Reed - I'll leave it at that," he says crisply.
He reveals he's just had a call from Courtney Love's lawyers because the film has some footage of her late husband's band, Nirvana.
Courtney, it seems, was "upset" by a comment made by someone in the film, says Letts, "that runs something like 'Kurt (Cobain) got successful, then he was surrounded by all these arseholes, then he killed himself'."
"The complete statement, he was actually talking about MTV," says Letts. "Courtney. . . somehow thinks it's reflecting something about her, so she's made me chop all this stuff out. To say I'm pissed is an understatement."
Letts is fairly sure Melbourne audiences will get to see the full version of the film, but for the DVD version he has had to "bow to Courtney's whims".
"And a cursed pox upon the woman!" he snarls.
So who are today's punks? Not the sort of bands you would find on a Vans Warped tour, assures Letts. "You know, I got this funny theory that if you're walking around calling yourself a punk, you're probably not one," he says drily.
He sees artists such as Patti Smith (as ever), Bjork, Beck and Ween maintaining the punk ethos of freedom, empowerment and individuality.
"The things that are all sadly lacking these days," he says, citing MTV, Idol programs and "bloody INXS" in their pursuit of a new singer.
"When you look around the cultural climate today, it's almost like punk never happened," he says. "But I'm here to tell you, and show people that it did, and it works."
Punk: Attitude screens at the Greater Union, Russell St, tonight at 9pm, and Sunday at 9.15pm. Each screening features an audience Q&A session with Letts.
Letts will also DJ at the Hi-Fi Bar, city, following Sunday's screening. More details at www.melbournefilmfestival.com.au.

I have put this under Aesthetics because these artists presented mature information regarding their personal aesthetics and where their artistic expression comes from. Just wanted to report back that the presentations from Paul Northway and Ovidio Gilberga were inspiring. I knew Ovidio from years ago when I was a dept. chairperson and Ovidio was a guest artist at Montana State University in Billings, MT. Paul Northway was Rudy Autio's last assistant in Missoula, Montana. We were all former residents at the Archie Bray Foundation.
We share a love for Montana even though we are all now living in Texas. The presentation by Paul Northway gave us background of his family of musicians and farmers and the familiarity of art and culture while growing up as well as learning to make things and use tools. His father was a musician but also made custom saxophone mouth pieces for many well-known musicians. As his life progressed and his own family grew, his work reflected much of his relationship with his children. I found his work to be insightful and humanizing. His incorporation of mixed media was an interesting blend with wood, wire and metal.
Ovidio's presentation reflected first on an experience of walking the continental divide in Colorado and the juxtaposed emotional transitions from his background of a big city person to one of facing the wilderness completely stripped of civilization's protection. His awareness of the emotional transition was developed and realized months after having the raw experience. It is something he has used to develop the imagery in his work for years afterwards. His sensitivity to the human condition, society and its influences on human behavior were extremely well communicated both visually and verbally.
Sometimes it is very isolated in the lower Rio Grande Valley speaking as a Ceramicist. I really enjoyed both talks. For seeing their work google them.

Greatest Moment in Baseball History:
Bobby Thomson & David Freese
both wore Uniform #23By Kobewild99
Greatest Moment in Baseball
Right after the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Texas Rangers 10-9 in the 11th inning, many have touted it as the greatest game in baseball history (Yahoo Sports, ESPN, Thinktank). David Freese's heroics were compared to Bill Mazeroski's homer in the 1960 World Series (Video), Carlton Fisk's homer in the 1975 World Series (Video), Kirby Puckett's homer in the 1991 World Series (Video), Joe Carter's homer in the 1993 World Series (Video), Kirk Gibson's homer in the 1988 World Series (Video), and Bobby Thomson's homer that won the 1951 NL Pennant (Video). While watching Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World", I was struck by his uniform #23 that is identical to that of David Freese. The fact that it occurred 60 years ago, made it a cyclical event. There are 60 seconds/minute, 60 minutes/hour, and 60-year cycles in climate, and the commodities market. While collecting images of Bobby Thomson and David Freese with uniform #23, I came across an injured Kirk Gibson wearing #23 hitting the homer in the 9th as Dodgers beat the A's 5-4 in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. These "greatest baseball moment" have been summarized below with video links.

Twice down to their last strike, the St. Louis Cardinals somehow rallied. And when Freese completed a startling series of comebacks with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to beat Texas 10-9 on Thursday night, fans all over got ready to enjoy something they hadn't seen in a long time: Game 7 of the World Series. "You had to be here to believe it," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. It was as great a game as the sport has ever witnessed, rivaling the Carlton Fisk homer in Game 6 of the 1975 Series and Bill Buckner's error in Game 6 of the 1986 Series. Freese saved St. Louis with a two-strike, two-out, two-run triple off Rangers closer Neftali Feliz that tied it in the ninth. In the 10th, after Josh Hamilton had homered to give Texas a two-run lead, Lance Berkman's two-strike, two-out single made it 9-all. To Freese, who grew up in the St. Louis area, it all reminded him of a game-ending home run Jim Edmonds hit in the 2004 playoffs. "Growing up or whatever, and you see stuff like that happen, those become memories," Freese said. Great, that is, except for Texas. The Rangers were that close to winning their first championship.

It is one of the most famous moments in Major League Baseball history. "When Don Mueller singled and Lockman sent him to third base with a double," Thomson said, "Don made a half-slide into third, and pulled the ligaments on both sides of his ankle. When Don was in pain, on the ground, I walked down there from home plate to see what was the matter with him. Oddly, that broke the tension for me, and I didn't even realize that Branca was coming in from the bullpen to pitch to me." Stretcher bearers were summoned to take Mueller off the field. Thomson said: "It changed my whole mind-set. I even blocked out the noise of the crowd." As he made the 90-foot walk back to the plate, he said he kept telling himself: " 'Wait for your pitch. Get a good pitch to hit. Do a good job.' Usually I never psyched myself up when I went to the plate. But this time I did." Thomson hit Branca's second pitch, and became, in his own words, "an accidental hero." (Video; NY Times, 9-30-2006; CBS SportsLine Historian; Obituary) (Photo: Bobby Thomson #23, Rube Walker #10, Umpire Lou Jorda, wsj.com) [IMG]file:///C:%5CUsers%5CADMINI%7E1.SUE%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTe mp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_image013.jpg[/IMG]Los Angeles (Saturday, October 15, 1988) With injuries in both legs, Kirk Gibson hit a pinch-hit two-run homer off Oakland Athletics' Dennis Eckersley that won Game 1 of the 1988 World Series 5-4. Gibson's limp-off home run was the first time a team had been trailing in a World Series game and homered to win in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was also Gibson's only at-bat of the entire Series. But it was enough, as the Dodgers rode the moment all the way to a World Series championship 4-1. Vin Scully's call: "All year long, they looked to him to light the fire, and all year long, he answered the demands, until he was physically unable to start tonight with two bad legs: The bad left hamstring, and the swollen right knee. And, with two out, you talk about a roll of the dice... this is it... High fly ball into right field, she i-i-i-is... gone!! In a year that has been so improbable... the impossible has happened!" Tom Lasorda: "I have seen many great home runs of great importance, but I have never seen anything like Kirk Gibson's home run in the first game of the 1988 Fall Classic. The drama that was attached to that home run was tremendous." (Video; Gibson's 1988 Homer; MLB) (Photo: Kirk Gibson #23, sportsillustrated.cnn.com)
Sports Notables with Number 23 In Ron Smith's Best by Number: Who wore what with distinction, (Sporting News Books, 2006, pp. 84-87), Michael Jordan was anointed the best athlete to have worn uniform #23 "Just close your eyes and visualize Chicago Bulls No. 23 with one arm extended, legs scissored and tongue wagging as he flies toward the basket, seemingly unafflected by gravity." With six NBA championships, ten NBA scoring titles, and highest scoring average (30.1 ppg), Jordan is "By acclamation, the greatest basketball player of all time". Although LeBron James was NBA's Most Valuable Player (2009-2010) and wore #23 with the Cleveland Cavaliers (2003-2010), he has yet won a NBA championship. (Photos: Michael Jordan #23, perfectpeople.net; LeBron James #23, nba-players.net) Other elite athletes wearing number 23 include Yankees Don Mattingly, Dodgers Claude Osteen, Cubs Ryne Sandberg, Cardinals Ted Simmons, Braves David Justice, Red Sox Luis Tiant, and Celtics Frank Ramsey.

I kept the Classic Peanuts comics of San Jose Mercury News (June 6, 2010 issue) because Charles Schulz had Snoppy (6-6-1998) among the paratroopers before D-Day. The Eisenhower photo with the 101st Airborne Division was taken at Greenham Common Airfield in England about 8:30 p.m. on June 5, 1944. Most of the men in this photo were killed or wounded in battle a few hours later. The tall man facing Ike, wearing the number 23 around his neck, is 1st Lieutenant Wallace C. Strobel. Ike asked where he was from. "Michigan, Sir." Ike brought up his thumb and said, "Go get 'em, Michigan." Strobel survived the night and subsequent week of fighting without injury. He died in 1999. The 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment jumped into Normandy with 792 men. After six days of desperate fighting, only 129 were still standing. Wallace said "Our plane number was 23 and I was the jumpmaster of that plane. This fact accounts for the sign around my neck in the picture which carries the number 23." (Photo: Eisenhower speaking to paratroopers on June 5, 1944, wikipedia.org)
23andMe.com Blimp over Memorial Church On November 4, 2009, I took a photo of a blimp flying over Stanford Memorial Church. Later I learned that 23andMe is a privately held personal genomics and biotechnology company based in Mountain View, California. It is developing new methods and technologies that will enable consumers to understand their own genetic information. The company is named for the 23 pairs of chromosomes in a normal human cell. 23andMe was founded in April 2006 to empower individuals and develop new ways of accelerating research. Google has invested $3.9M and recently another $2.6M in 23andMe, whose co-founder Anne Wojcicki is married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

It is a single piece of coiled DNA containing many genes, regulatory elements and other nucleotide sequences. Chromosomes also contain DNA-bound proteins, which serve to package the DNA and control its functions. Human cells have 23 pairs of large linear nuclear chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes), giving a total of 46 per cell. The female X chromosome has 1846 genes. The male Y chromosome has 454 genes. The other 22 chromosomes in male and female are identical. (Photos: 23 human chromosomes, science3point0.com; 23andMe.com Blimp, biopoliticaltimes.org)
Psalm 23 In Psalm 23 of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, King David describes God as his Shepherd. It is the most quoted passage in the Bible:
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters."
Psalm 23 portrays God as a shepherd, feeding (verse 1) and leading (verse 3) his flock. The "rod and staff" (verse 4) are also the implements of a shepherd. Some commentators see the shepherd imagery pervading the entire psalm. Psalm 23 is traditionally sung by Jews in Hebrew at the third Shabbat meal on Saturday afternoon. For Christians the image of God as a shepherd evokes connections not only with King David but with Jesus, described as "the Good Shepherd" in the Gospel of John. The phrase about "the valley of the shadow of death" is often taken as an allusion to the eternal life given by Jesus. Orthodox Christians typically include the Psalm in the prayers of preparation for receiving the Eucharist. In the 20th century, Psalm 23 became particularly associated with funeral liturgies in the English-speaking world, and films with funeral scenes often depict a graveside recitation of the psalm. (Photo: Psalm 23, wikipedia.org)

Concluding Thoughts on Number 23
[IMG]file:///C:%5CUsers%5CADMINI%7E1.SUE%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTe mp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_image028.gif[/IMG]23 is a prime number. It is the lowest prime with consecutive numbers. Because Michael Jordan wore #23 in winning 6 NBA titles, and was acclaimed as the greatest basketball player of all time, LeBron James chose #23 when playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Atlanta Braves David Justice and British soccer playeer David Beckham also chose to wear #23. Number 23 showed up prominently around the paratrooper's neck when General Eisenhower spoke to him and the 101st Airborne Division on the eve of D-Day June 6, 1944. It's interesting that #23 won World War II, a Pennant, and two World Series in baseball. When I look a photo of 23andMe Blimp flying over Stanford Memorial Church (Nov. 4, 2009), I didn't realize it was connected to a genomics company, named for the 23 pairs of chromosomes in a human cell. With Christ shown prominently on Memorial Church, it reminded me of "Psalm 23" that "The Lord is my shepherd." (Photo: #23 on door, Richard Phillips, Numbers: Facts, Figures & Fiction, 1994)

Dennis Eckersley watches
Gibson's homer beating A's 5-4
After learning that "Psalm 23" is recited often at funerals, I didn't want to include this fact in this story of "Baseball's Greatest Moments" because the celebratory events showing the heros and teammates in jubilation. Then I realized that for every winner there is a loser. While the winners are popping champagne bottles in exhilaration, the losers are morose and funereal. David Freese was jubilant with the triple tying the game 7-7 in the 9th and homer to win the game 10-9 in the 11th. But Neftail Feliz who lost the 2-run lead and one strike from winning the Rangers' first World Series in 51 years was devasted. He didn't want to speak to anyone afterwards. Like Feliz with his head to the ground, Rangers manager Ron Washington had a similar pose walking off the field while the Cardinals celebrated.
Bobby Thomson is full of jubilation running around the bases after hitting the homer off Ralph Branca in the bottom of the 9th to win 5-4 and the 1951 NL Pennant. Russ Hodges' radio broadcast "The Giants Win The Pennant! The Giants Win The Pennant! The Giants Win The Pennant! The Giants Win The Pennant! Bobby Thomson hits into the lower deck of the left-field stands! The Giants win the pennant and they're goin' crazy, they're goin' crazy!" But for the loser Ralph Branca, his head was down in despair walking from the mound to the locker room. Carl Erskine watched his teammates coming in the clubhouse. "Jackie just slammed his glove hard into his locker. Hodges set his gently on the shelf, the way he always did. Dressen tore off his uniform shirt so violently that the buttons flew around the room. And then Ralph came in and sat on the steps leading to the training room, the big number 13 shining on his back. Finally, his head dropped to his chest and his arms fell forward between his knees. There was bedlam next door, but our place was like a tomb." Branca had dinner that night at Daube's Steak House in the Bronx with his fiancée, Ann, and the Rube Walkers. They were met by Ann's cousin Father Frank (Pat) Rowley, a priest at Fordham University. Branca recalls, "I said to Father Rowley, 'Pat, why me? Will you tell me, why me?' And Pat said, 'Ralph, God chose you because He knows your faith is strong enough to bear this cross.' That struck home. It was my salvation. I realized that I had done the best I could." Ralph married Ann a few weeks later, and would not only express no bitterness over the gopher ball, but begin a friendship with Thomson that lasted into each man's old age, including many joint television appearances as well as card and memorabilia shows (one where 300 showed up to get their autographs on a photo for $5 each). Branca parlayed his losing moment into a successful career selling insurance after retiring from baseball (1956). He would close deals by saying "Would you like to know how I felt throwing that Shot Heard 'Round the World homer to Bobby Thomson?" When his client said "Yes!" Branca responded "Then sign right here and I'll tell you" and made the sale.
Oakland A's manager Tony LaRussa felt miserable when Kirk Gibson hit that homer snatching victory for the Dodgers at the last moment on October 15, 1988. But as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, his team won the World Series on October 27, 2011. Tony LaRussa said "You had to be here to believe it." That's what Tom Lasorda said when Gibson hit the homer to beat the Oakland Athletics. It's amazing that the time span for Tony LaRussa experiencing baseball Hell to Heaven is an unbelievable 23 years connected by homer heroes (Kirk Gibson and David Freese) both wearing uniform #23!

- It is well provided with scientific laboratories, botanic garden, and various collections, and possesses a library with nearly a quarter of a million volumes.
- There is a large botanic garden, which is kept in good order, and contains a long range of green-houses and stoves.

A former osteopathic doctor found guilty of one count of sexual imposition, a third-degree misdemeanor, on Aug. 29, 2014, will appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court.
Summit County Court of Common Pleas Judge Scot Stevenson agreed to keep the stay of sentence to serve 59 days in jail in place for James P. Bressi Aug. 30 in his courtroom pending an appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court.
Bressi lost his appeal to the 9th District Court of Appeals, but his attorney said the stay did not specify which court the stay applied to, and said the stay should remain in place while he appeals the case to the Ohio Supreme Court.
If his appeal is unsuccessful, Stevenson said Bressi will serve his jail time.

Crystal Palace have boosted their defensive options for next season by signing Aaron Martin on a season-long loan from Southampton.
The 22-year-old central defender made 17 appearances for the Saints last season and will replace Anthony Gardner, who is rumoured to have signed for Sheffield Wednesday.
He is manager Dougie Freedman's second signing of the summer following the arrival of right back Joel Ward from Portsmouth.
"Dougie seemed to sell the club so well and he seems a really nice person," Martin told Palace's official website.
"From what he has already done at Palace, he seems to be a great manager to work and play for.
"What sold the club to me was that he was such a nice person and he sounded so genuine in everything he said to me."
Freedman added: "Aaron is a player who I have watched since his non-league days and he has done very well since his move to Southampton.
"He is a youngster who is a talented, hard-working centre half who is hungry for success and I see him playing a major role in our continued progress next season."

Editor: I've noticed over the last few years that a lot of youth ministry is geared to "at risk" teens. With the breakdown of the family structure and society as a whole, there is a definite need in this area.
However, it seems like kids who grow up in a good family and in church are kind of left out. Youth groups are a great tool in giving the kids a safe place to be with other like-minded individuals and a great place to let off some steam, but let's face it, a short Bible study or devotional just doesn't allow for much depth.

BMW vs. United Car Care Extended Warranty

Buyer beware!
This probably isn't news to anyone, but I bought the Premium warranty through United Car Care and I am having problems with them and may have to take them to court.
I brought my X5 into the dealership for a water leak, which turned out to be a water pump and radiator. Then they found an oil leak and some pixels burnt out in my computer screen. That amounted to about $7,000. A week later the master tech took the United Car Care adjuster out for a spin around the block near the dealership and my transmission went out! Well, United isn't going to pay for it because they say it was a long term leak. The master tech's and anybody I talk to disagree with that because there is no way of knowing whether it was a long term leak or not.
United is trying to get out of paying. And they now tell me that they will refund my money, (about $900 so far), for the warranty and be done with it. I even tried to negotiate with them offering to have the transmission rebuilt for a fraction of the price ($2,500) but they will not budge.
I may have to take them to court. Any advice from anybody?

text: I think this is my first post in a long time. I watch almost every Pacers game, and consider myself very loyal fan. The one thing that really frustrates me is that Larry brought in one of the best young point guards last season whose strength is pick and roll. Can someone please tell me why we are not running the offense which fits our players. Why our coach is trying to change the point guard to play his style of offense? I think this is pure arrogance. You will play my way or I will bench you. Yesterday I enjoyed watching Chicago pick and roll. Mike Wells asked in todays Star article why people cheered for Chicago. The reason is Chicago played kind of basketball people want to see. They drafted All Star point guard who excels in pick and roll and they brought Carlos Boozer to run it almost every position. We learned that we have enough big guys who can knock down 10-15 footer or go to the basket if needed. Please start playing style of basketball that fits your players. I think I am close to start protesting this team until this coach is fired and we try to get more excitement in Conseco field house!!!! Sorry, English is my second language, so I hope you ignore the grammer

Dear Tax Talk,
I have an S corporation with ownership of 100 percent. I am the owner and full-time employee. What kind of health plan can I set up that is deductible at the company level and also does not add a tax burden at the individual level? I am looking for a cost-effective one to accommodate the future needs of new employees. Please advise me about the health insurance deduction for an S-corp. Thanks.
-- Sid
Dear Sid,
While I can't recommend a specific health plan, I can tell you the general rule is that the health insurance of a greater-than-2-percent S corporation shareholder is a taxable fringe benefit. In other words, you can claim health insurance deductions for all your employees, but not for your own family at the corporate level. While this sounds unfair, it all washes out on your individual tax return.
Suppose you find an excellent health plan that runs you $1,000 a month for yourself and your dependents. This $1,000 is considered additional compensation to you on your Form W-2 and is included in wages in box 1, but excluded for Social Security and Medicare wages. In other words, you don't pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on the $1,000 a month, but technically you should have additional federal income tax withheld to cover the health insurance included in wages. Suppose your regular salary is $2,000 a month, so at the end of the year, the wages in box 1 on your Form W-2 is $36,000, which includes $12,000 in health insurance benefits.
When you prepare your corporate income tax return, you will claim a deduction for $36,000 in wages and nothing for health insurance. When you prepare your individual income tax return, you will include $36,000 in wages on line 7. You'll also complete the worksheet for line 29, and your result should be a deduction of $12,000 for self-employed health insurance deduction. Ignoring any other income and deductions, your net result for income on your individual return would then be $24,000, the amount of your true take-home pay. Hence, the health insurance has no effect on your personal return.

McKeesport, county focus on handicapped accessibility in rental housing
McKeesport is partnering with Allegheny County to bring the Accessibility Modification Program to city landlords whose tenants may need improved accessibility.
"It may be a handicapped ramp outside or grab bars in the bathroom area," McKeesport Housing Corp. executive director Jim Haughey said. "It's not a program that will make your place ADA-compliant, but it may help you provide reasonable accommodations."
McKeesport Housing Corp. is facilitating applications for projects not to exceed $4,500 each, thanks to a contract linking the city to the county's Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
"It's a very nice opportunity for the city of McKeesport to be able to help enhance some of the properties within the city while accommodating residents with disabilities," Mayor Michael Cherepko said.
The Accessibility Modification Program will be available through June in McKeesport, a time frame in which McKeesport Housing Corp. officials said they hope to complete at least 10 projects.
Each project requires a two-part application for the landlord and tenant. The tenant must qualify financially by earning 80 percent or less of the area median income, which translates to $36,500 for a single person.
Program coordinator Angelia Christina, a fair housing officer with McKeesport Housing Corp., said the city's participation in Allegheny County's Accessibility Modification Program illustrates McKeesport's commitment to furthering fair housing opportunities.
In November 2011, McKeesport entered a voluntary compliance agreement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development to "affirmatively further" fair housing opportunities.
"This will make existing properties more accessible," Christina said. "As people's circumstances change, they may find themselves in need of certain modifications in a unit where they are comfortable and don't want to leave."
Frank Miklos, who moved into a first-floor apartment along Summit Street after suffering a heart attack and stroke 10 years ago, completed an application last week with landlord Ron Maloney.
"I have a great landlord who is willing to help me out in any way he can," Miklos told Christina during a tour of his apartment. "We want to concentrate on the bathroom area, so I can get around easier in there."
Miklos' left leg is paralyzed. He goes outside with a motorized wheelchair or scooter, and he uses a cane indoors.
"I get around fine, because I'm used to it," Miklos said. "This is a great program that will make my life easier at home. People should know that if they need help, it's out there."
McKeesport Housing Corp. also operates programs to improve owner-occupied homes, but with different funding sources.

The New York Mets made their roster move to add Rafael Montero to the 25 man roster this afternoon, and it wasn't the move many people expected. The Mets placed starting pitcher Dillon Gee on the 15 day disabled list with a lat injury. Gee only threw 81 pitches in his last start, May 10th against the Phillies, before being removed from the game.
Gee has been one of the Mets' best starting pitchers so far this season. Gee has gone 3-1 with a 2.73 ERA over his first eight starts, and was scheduled to start against the Yankees on Thursday. That will not happen now, and the Mets will instead slot Jacob DeGrom in to make his major league debut on Thursday night at Citi Field. With Montero starting tonight, the Mets will be having rookie starting pitchers make their major league debuts on consecutive nights.
The Mets are also dealing with several other injury issues. Wilmer Flores, who has missed the last three games due to illness, is still out of the lineup tonight. The Mets will also be without catcher Travis d'Arnaud this evening, who woke up feeling ill after getting hit on the helmet by an Alfonso Soriano backswing during last night's game. Manager Terry Collins didn't answer questions about whether d'Arnaud had received a concussion test, but pointed out that Anthony Recker was scheduled to get a start tonight anyway. Either way, it is a situation worth monitoring.

Band Likely Fell Victim to Mexican Gang Violence...
Members of Kombo Kolombia – a Mexican band with influences from Colombian folk music – were found dead Sunday evening, the victims of an apparent kidnapping and mass murder. All 12 band members along with eight members of their staff were kidnapped Friday night after playing a private party at a "ranch in Sabinas Hidalgo, Nuevo León." One member of the band, who managed to escape, lead authorities to a well where the bodies were discovered. This has become another sad example of violence permeating the Mexican regional music scene. Via Billboard:
On Monday, authorities were still working to extract bodies from the deep well. According to reports, one member of the group managed to escape and led police to the site. His declarations have not been made public.
No suspects or motive for the kidnappings and killings has been mentioned by the authorities, according to Mexican press.
The shocking news of the deaths of the Kombo Kolombia band members is the latest violent tragedy involving Regional Mexican music artists. Popular singer Valentin Elizalde was executed in his car after a concert in 2006; Sergio Vega "El Shaka," Sergio Gomez, vocalist of the band K-Paz, and the singer Zayda Peña Ariona were other victims in recent years of the violence surrounding the genre.
The motive for the violent crime has officials puzzled. Via The New York Times
It is not unusual for drug gangs in Mexico to kill or assault musicians, especially those who play so-called narcocorridos that glorify the criminal underworld and end up offending well-armed listeners. A number of cities have banned that kind of music because of the violence that can accompany it.
But Kombo Kolombia was not known for that kind of music, favoring romantic, accordion-tinged folk ballads with titles like "Only You Make Me Happy.

Dan Heap's life goal was nothing less than to create heaven on Earth.
A lifelong socialist devoted to helping working-class people, refugees and the homeless, Mr. Heap made career choices, first as a Toronto city councillor and then as an NDP parliamentarian, based not on building his own stature but on building a more just society.
Devoutly religious and committed to pacifism, minority rights and social justice, he believed in an egalitarian society free of capitalism. A slender man with a white beard, messy hair and large, sometimes taped-together eyeglasses, Mr. Heap rode a bicycle around Toronto, sheltered Vietnam War resisters in his home, marched for civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr. and was a regular at demonstrations across Canada.
Mr. Heap, who was ordained as an Anglican priest and spent 18 years labouring in a Toronto paper-box factory before entering politics, believed in the intersection of faith and justice.
After being elected to Parliament in 1981, Mr. Heap worked to reunite refugees with family members and advocated for redress for Chinese immigrants penalized by a head tax until 1923. He did so with the help of his young constituency assistant, Olivia Chow, who called Mr. Heap "a man of faith and action."
Mr. Heap died in Toronto on April 25 at 88.
"I think for any progressive activist in the 1980s, Dan Heap was a seminal figure," said Toronto area NDP MP Andrew Cash, who voted for Mr. Heap in 1981.
"He was slightly terrifying because he was so real and so committed."
Daniel James Macdonnell Heap was born Sept. 24, 1925, in Winnipeg, the second-eldest of four children. His mother, Margaret, was a piano teacher and his father, Fred, a lawyer. Raised as a Presbyterian, Mr. Heap grew up sympathizing with marginalized people, a trait inherited from his parents, who told him when he was six that the family was boycotting Japanese oranges to protest the invasion of Manchuria in 1931. Sometimes called "Don," after his grandfather, a minister, Mr. Heap aspired to become a minister himself from a young age, he told The Globe and Mail in 1981. Called "Don" after his grandfather, a minister, Mr. Heap aspired to become a minister himself from a young age, he told The Globe in 1981.
He received a scholarship to study at Upper Canada College and later studied classics and philosophy at Queen's University. It was during his time at Queen's that Mr. Heap, horrified by nazism, decided to put his pacifism aside and sign up for the army.
"It wasn't possible to be neutral in the face of Hitler," he told The Globe.
But before Mr. Heap could be sent overseas, the war ended, and he embarked on his lifetime commitment to pacifism. In 1945, Mr. Heap took a summer job at a Brantford, Ont., knitting mill that would change his life. While in the community, Mr. Heap met other workers who were part of the Student Christian Movement, a powerful youth group that organized socialist work camps.
The experience "opened my eyes to a side of life I'd never seen before," he told The Globe.
Mr. Heap went on to study theology for a year at the University of Chicago before moving to Montreal to get his divinity degree from McGill University. It was there that Mr. Heap joined anti-war and pro-human-rights groups and met Alice Boomhour, a minister's daughter and SCM activist with whom he fell in love and married in 1950.
"They were very much an entity," their son Danny said of his parents, who attended protests together. They soon started a family, and had seven children between 1951 and 1966. After graduating from McGill and being ordained a priest, Mr. Heap was determined to pair preaching and activism, but after a brief stint in rural Quebec as a priest, he decided he would not make a living working for the church.
Danny said that while Mr. Heap saw religious faith and radical social activism as a pair, "the church hierarchy did not take kindly to that."
So Mr. Heap decided to align himself with the worker-priest movement, a missionary initiative started in 1941 by the French Catholic Church that saw priests enter the work force to persuade laymen to become more engaged in church life. When Mr. Heap and his family moved to Toronto in 1954, he took a job as a printer at a box factory, where he was elected as a union representative.
He wanted to "bring socialism to the Canadian worker," he told the Toronto Star in 2011.
In 1965, Mr. Heap went to march with Martin Luther King Jr. at Montgomery, Ala., in support of the civil-rights movement. The rest of his family took part in a sit-in in support of the march in Toronto. When a police officer saw Danny, then eight years old, at the sit-in, he skeptically asked him what he was doing there.Report Typo/Error

Ob-Gyn questions? Ask a gynecologist online.
Hello,Welcome and thank you for your question.Your symptoms sound like a bad fungal infection - both inside and outside the vagina. Fugal infection in this region can also spread to the anus as the skin here can remain moist and warm, allowing fungus to grow readily.The ointments you have used will not help - none of them are antifungal ointments.Please try Lotrimin AF cream or Monistat thrice a day - these are available without a prescription. Also use Monistat 7 Vaginal Antifungal Cream inside the vagina for the vaginal infection. Dust Lotrimin powder over the entire area to keep it dry.Using a mild steroid like Cortizone will help decrease the itching and you can use it for the initial 3 days.
The soreness can indicate a secondary bacterial infection. If the Lotrimin does not help decrease the soreness, you may need to apply a local antibiotic ointment like neosporin.
If you see no change in the soreness or itching in 3 days, please consult an Obgyn.I hope this helps.

In addition, T5 announced the signing of the first lease at T5@LA. The Los Angeles based critical infrastructure agency is the first enterprise customer and will occupy a custom-built data hall. They selected T5@LA because of the facility's seismic rating, dedicated power supply, and redundant systems that ensure uninterrupted service. They also selected T5 Data Centers because of the company's reputation for reliability and data security. Occupancy will be in 2013.
The new T5@LA data center is a purpose-built, 205,000-square-foot building on a 6.1 acre site. Designed as a high-quality, fully equipped wholesale data center, the facility is customizable to customer needs and features 120,000 square feet of raised floor. The building is built from structurally enhanced steel and has been designed to withstand earthquakes with a seismic importance factor of 1.5. T5@LA also has a dedicated, on-site power substation to ensure high reliability of electricity at a reduced "wholesale" cost.
"Los Angeles has been an underserved market for server-ready data center services" said Pete Marin, President of T5. "T5@LA is the first purpose built wholesale data center in the Los Angeles basin. We're seeing great demand for our high quality and super-efficient design."
The new T5@LA data center was designed for large enterprise customers seeking a customizable, "always-on" computing environment. The facility takes advantage of cool coastal air to help chill the data halls via an indirect evaporative process that uses approximately half the energy of traditional data center designs. T5 maintains round-the-clock engineering and support staff, as well as redundant systems to deliver the best service possible as well as peace of mind. The company already supports a number of Fortune 200 companies at its other data center facilities.
"We are very excited to welcome our first tenant to T5@LA," said Aaron Wangenheim Executive Vice President of T5, responsible for marketing and leasing. " T5@LA was chosen by this discerning customer because of our ability to deliver the right solution and the right efficiencies. Their critical applications required the most resilient data center possible, and we're excited to welcome them to T5@LA. "

Eva Armstrong was music. With her eyes closed, her body moved as she swayed deep into the notes with each beat she played on the piano. Every part of her moved ... except for her legs. Eva was paralyzed from the waist down by a car accident when she was 21 years old.
I met Eva when she was 26 and I was 7. She was my first piano teacher. My mother told me about Eva. After the accident, she couldn't work as a waitress anymore at Vandenburg Drug Store in my hometown of West Des Moines, Iowa. Her wheelchair was too clumsy to fit behind the counter, so she couldn't even be a cashier and lost her job.
Eva lived at home with her mother, Mrs. Armstrong, who smelled of Lysol because she cleaned houses for a living. Eva's older sister, Lizzie, worked at the grocery store ordering produce. Somehow they acquired an upright piano, but none of them could play it. With nothing else to do, Eva taught herself to play by listening to songs on the radio.
Once Eva knew enough about the piano, she started giving lessons for donations. Momma, who insisted I take lessons because she was eager to pry the football out of my hands, paid her with homemade tortillas. The first time I walked to the Maxwell house, I saw curtains dancing in the breeze in the open front porch windows and heard the sound of the piano floating in the air.
I had never seen a person in a wheelchair before, and Eva could tell it scared me. The chair was taller than I was and looked like a machine was eating her, but Eva called me over to touch it and then called me "little Val." The fear went away instantly.
She taught me to play in a way that astonished me with its simplicity. Eva assigned numbers to the piano keys and then numbered each finger on my hands, starting with one on my thumb all the way to five on my pinkie. She wrote out a page of numbers for each note of music, then taught me to play the corresponding numbered keys with my numbered fingers. The first song I played was Bach's "Ode to Joy." I flew home after my lessons every week.
Then the worst thing that could happen did: the music lady left. I never knew what became of Eva after the Armstrongs moved away. I only knew the music stopped coming through the laced curtains that once covered their open windows on the front porch.
Still, I walked past her house clinging to the faint hope that maybe a note or two still lingered in the air — special notes that Eva left behind just for me.
I didn't touch the piano until after Sept. 11, 2001. A new fear gripped the country, and suddenly everyone reconnected with people and things they previously ignored. That's when my fingers found the keys again. I took refresher classes at a music store in Austin and became a good beginner again.
So my new instructor asked me to teach scales to visually-impaired students from the Texas School for the Blind. Every Saturday, students came to the store and I taught them how to play Bach's "Ode to Joy" the way Eva taught me.
These days, when I'm not writing, I'm playing the piano and that's what I mean when I say, "I go play now."

Letter: Hamburg officials have dealt Woody's an unfair blow
Hamburg officials have dealt Woody's an unfair blow
The Hamburg Town Board members should be ashamed of themselves for their dealings with Woody's Beach Club.
Instead of praising and encouraging a private establishment where the owner spent a lot of his own money in setting up a risky venture, they made it next to impossible for him to run his business.
What happened to the attitude that this area is changing? That government won't stand in the way of small business? Here is a guy that really made Buffalo a better place with an awesome beach bar/restaurant on an amazing beach.
Before Woody's opened, Woodlawn Beach was deserted. No one wants to go to a beach where you can hardly ever go swimming because the water is always too contaminated and you can't get anything decent to eat or drink.
They should be thanking operator Tucker Curtain for creating another wonderful Buffalo destination and ensuring the added revenue the town and state are receiving because of the cost of entering the park itself.
Shame on you Hamburg Town Board. You should spend more energy in trying to fix the water problem instead of ruining summer for a lot of people.

HAL remains the Best! Eurodam Crew is tops.: Eurodam Cruise Review by mama2bifs
Overall Member Rating
HAL remains the Best! Eurodam Crew is tops.
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Dover
We arrived in Dover tired from our flight and early for boarding. After just a bit of a wait boarded to a much needed lunch on the LIDO. The first of many and just the beginning of what would become one of our favorite places to be. This became so fun for us because of the very friendly crew that service the area. They knew our names and our party and we could always find each other because they were always looking out for us. They even knew what we liked after a few days. This is what HAL does best.
Our first day was a welcome day at sea, which for us end up being busy. We had sailed with this particular cruise director before and he is a delight. We played team trivia, checked out the fitness area, rested, and ate. We were soon to discover that no More matter where you go to eat, you will get a great meal. The Tamarind and Pinnacle grill were exceptional and we ate there frequently. The only negative was that with open seating we tended to get poor tables in the Rembrandt. Once they realized we were 'back to backers', staying on the ship for two sailings, our table seemed to improve - maybe just luck of the draw.
Our ports for the following days were very nice, though a bit chilly and rainy at times. The Captain made a nice accomodation for the Princess' wedding in Stockholm and re-routed us to Gothenburg - loved it. St. Petersburg was beautiful and horrible all at the same time. Quite a pretty city, with some very sad areas, too crowded for my taste, and for pete's sake; if they don't want to be nice and friendly to tourists - just don't allow us in. There was no purpose in the long line at customs, but that was Russia not HAL. In fact, I'm pretty certain some stern words were issued as the next day things were smoother.
We had another fun day at sea, disembarked half the ship and one family member in Dover and off we sailed for our second leg of the Journey to Norway and Scotland. What a beautiful area and I would have missed it if we hadn't done the double sailings. Many passengers didn't even realize this was available, but so worth the time. Norway was amazing and Gerainger was my favorite port. Just quaint and small and charming. Scenic cruising wonderful. Scotland was an anticipated delight and lived up to every sight we hoped for.
I traveled with my older mother and my teenage children. All had fun, all were entertained, and all agreed it was the best cruise of a lifetime. The Mainstage crew was not the most talented I've ever sailed with, but the imported entertainment was great. I think what we will always treasure was that HAL trains and seeks out the best crew possible. Our room steward always had a friendly greeting and catered to our needs before we knew we had them. My room service knew of my little quirk for strong coffee and always took care of me. The Lido crew was tops and we'll actually keep in touch with a couple in hopes of sailing with them again.
Any cruise can take you where you want to go. They all serve tons of food, though some better than others. They all have drinks, entertainment, and excursions; what they don't all have is the great complement of crew and the ability to treat you well with a broad smile on their face. Those guys work 7 days a week, over 12 hours a day and sometimes sadly to some very cranky people - just look at a few of the complaining reviews and you'll see what I mean. Their attitude is always happy, ready to go, never tired and they seem at least to really like talking with you. We were sung to, had magic tricks done, and our favorite treats hunted down just because this Lido crew wanted to please. These are the small differences that make or break your experience. I just can't wait to find my next trip aboard HAL. Less

The Paralympics will be screened in Haiti for the first time this year due to the work of Hogan Lovells lawyer Colin Graham.
The finance practice of counsel has been leading a pro-bono project with disability initiative The Dream and other charities to help disabled people in the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
The firm had helped set up the Disability Sport for Development (DSD) charity to target countries with a very low penetration of disabled sport by supporting athletes and building facilities.
Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were injured in the disaster.
Graham has worked with The Dream, the Haitian National Paralympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee to get a small team of disabled athletes – a male javelin thrower and a female javelin and shotput competitor – to London 2012, the first time the country has been represented at the Paralympics.
An additional challenge was to obtain the TV rights to broadcast the Paralympic Games in Haiti and Graham was instructed by DSD to use its funds to seal a deal to show the events on national TV. That deal is set to be approved by LOCOG this week and Graham has also been liaising with the UN to arrange for giant screens to be placed in city centres.
Graham said: "We're working on initiatives to try to change perceptions in Haiti that disabled people should not be treated as second class citizens so that people are prepared to offer jobs and see them as valuable members of society.
"This has been a great piece of work from the point of view of seeing a project from its infancy right the way through. Enabling these athletes to perform for their country and be seen by a wide range of people is very rewarding."
Hogan Lovells associate Francesca Porter is currently seconded to the British Paralympic Association and is busy drafting commercial agreements for athletes, teams and sponsors.
Porter first got involved in the London 2012 Paralympic sphere with a piece of pro-bono work helping a Gurkha who was injured in Afghanistan represent Team GB despite not having a British passport.
Her work could include advising on disputes over classifications of athletes.
She said: "How a person is evaluated in terms of disability can be quite fluid. An athlete excelling at one level can find themselves in a new classification group following a review of their disability and suddenly not doing as well and maybe not even being selected. It can be quite contentious."
Porter is also advising in an ongoing IP dispute and said the unique challenges have broadened her legal horizons.
During the Games she will be permanently based on site with Hogan Lovells colleague Richard Welfare, a partner and Paralympics on-site legal advisor, managing hospitality when she is not required for her legal expertise.
A number of other firms are part of a pro-bono panel sitting throughout the summer to act on any legal action arising during the Games (1 August 2012).

Tomorrow is the birthday of one of America's best-loved freedom fighters, Cesar Chavez, who died in 1993. He fought to improve life conditions for farm workers in this country.
Chavez, whose grandfather came to America in the late 1800s, was born in Yuma, Ariz., in 1927. His father was a farmer who also operated a general store and was the local postmaster. Life was good for the Chavez family.

Adding fun crafts to your summer activities just got a lot easier with this book: Hand in Hand: Crafting with Kids by Jenny Doh.
I originally found out about the book via a blogger friend Jessica Okui of Zakka Life, who is also in the book (psst… Jessica, you/your littles rocked in the book! The craft was pretty fun too)!
A little bit about the Hand in Hand: Crafting with Kids (affiliate link/description from Amazon.com):
"Mommy bloggers" are a hugely popular source of advice for parents on everything from discipline to which stores have the best deals. And one of the top trending topics is crafting with your kids. Hand in Hand offers the best of the best: 20 superstar parenting bloggers share exclusive, photo-rich insights into their creative lives along with a favorite how-to craft for parent and child to make together. The 20 projects feature a well-balanced mix of techniques, materials, colors, and styles for a range of ages.
The book was both practical and inspiring. I really enjoyed reading about the Mommy Bloggers and seeing how they foster creativity in their children – so inspiring! From quilts, photo books, plush creations and more – there's something fun for pretty much every age range.
Jude and I decided to work on Samantha Cotterill's Thaumatrope craft.
We decided to go with the bird/bird cage option and the rest of the craft was quite simple yet fun! Jude had a great time coloring the illustration and of course, spinning the thaumatrope.
Next on our list is Jessica's Paper Roll Bracelets. If you are in need of craft ideas this summer (or any time, really), you need to check out this book!
FYI: I received this book free as a review copy.

Hi, does this jacket "grow" by 1" or more for another season?
Hi, does this jacket "grow" by 1" or more for another season?
Love these pants, Super comfortable and look great. Usually it's hard to find leggings that look good without a shirt covering up my upper thighs, but these I can wear with even a sports bra and they still look awesome. I don't want to take them off. I am 5'3 and 125lbs, not very athletic, but not pudgy either:) and I got these in small.
0 Comments
Just received it, put it on and don't want to take it off:) Super comfortable, looks so great - slimming stripes on sides. I got a medium and I am 125lbs, 5'3. I think the small would have fit just as well, but the style itself is fitted, so it works!!! JUST LOVE IT! Oh, I got the black with Boysenberry (which Backcounty only had a medium left:))

Smells off
Posted by aunatural on Jan 07, 2013 | Verified Purchase
I don't know what's wrong with this, but it smells putrid. I've also purchased another "Antibac" cleaner from method and both of them have a horribly strong, mouldy smell which completely masks the scent of the natural oils that have been added to it. (At least when I eventually pour it down the drain I will have a cool bottle to reuse for my home-made orange cleaner which smells divine!) I love the other method cleaners but the "Antibac" ones have all smelled bad.

A Brooklyn-based startup called goTenna has created a portable antenna that may just save the day when cellular service is unavailable.
The portable antenna connects to a smartphone via a Bluetooth Low Energy link. Once connected, users with either an iOS or Android app can then send text messages through the antenna. (The recipient must also have a goTenna, and consequently the product is sold in pairs.)
The device uses the 151MHz-154MHz frequencies, with range depending on location. In a densely populated place like Manhattan, that range could be less than a mile. In more open spaces, up to 50 miles is possible. The antenna, which takes a USB-delivered charge, will store messages and hold them until a connection can be made.
Businesses employ a range of backup communications technologies, including long-range satellite phones and ham radios, as well as shorter range walkie-talkies. The goTenna could serve as an alternative to a walkie-talkie -- and even offers some advantages over other options. For example, its messages are encrypted and private, a separate device isn't needed, and people can use the goTenna system with their smartphone interface.
The goTenna also has the ability to "shout" a message by delivering it to all goTenna users who have opted in to receive a broadcast.
"That fact that we are totally decentralized means that in many ways it can be a backup to your backup," said goTenna CEO Daniela Perdomo, who co-founded the company with her brother, Jorge Perdomo, goTenna's CTO.
In addition to using goTenna as an emergency tool, Perdomo said people could use the technology as a means of communicating while they're traveling, when they're taking part in outdoor recreation activities, or when they're involved in any type of situation that requires private communication. The antenna uses a Lithium-ion battery and is estimated to last two to three days with normal use, or as long as 30 hours if it's on continuously.
Perdomo said the outages created by Hurricane Sandy in 2012 prompted her to imagine ways smartphones could be made to directly communicate with other phones.
The goTenna will ship in late fall, but a pair of the devices can be preordered for $149.99.

Shirley Bassey, the voice behind the theme songs to the James Bond films Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, and Moonraker, will be making her first appearance at the this year's awards show, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron announced Friday.
Bassey is scheduled to perform during the telecast in recognition of 50 years of the 007 franchise.
Zadan and Meron said in a statement:
"We are thrilled to welcome the legendary Dame Shirley Bassey to our Oscar show. Her association with film music is world-renowned and we are proud that she will be making her first Oscar appearance on our telecast."
Bassey, whose career spans six decades, has never won an Oscar for her Bond theme songs. But the theme song for the most recent film, Skyfall, is the frontrunner for the Best Original Song at this year's awards ceremony, and will be performed live by British chanteuse Adele. Skyfall, which is the twenty-third film in the 007 franchise, is the first Bond film to gross over $1 billion in the worldwide box office.
Also performing during this year's Oscar telecast is Norah Jones, who will be singing "Everybody Needs a Best Friend," the theme song from Seth McFarlane's fantasy comedy Ted. Barbra Streisand, who will be making her first Academy Awards performance in 36 years, will also be performing.
At 76-year-old, Dame Shirley Bassey has recorded more than 44 albums and has sold more than 135 million records worldwide. Last June, the Welsh born she sang at Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee concert.
The Oscars will be hosted by Seth McFarlane and will air on ABC February 24.
