Two Ways to Mozart
As we did with Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring on its centennial day last month, we'll play the same piece twice on Wednesday's WFCR classical music. Well...not exactly the same piece. Actually, it's quite amazing how different the music can be, when the notes are mostly the same. A bit of background:
The piano concerto was Mozart's main vehicle for displaying his talents as both composer and performer after arriving in Vienna for good in late 1781. No fewer than 15 masterworks in the concerto form emerged between then and 1786, including an astonishing half-dozen (known to us as Nos. 14-19) in 1784 alone. Witty, operatic (sometimes tragic, more often comic) and endlessly inventive, Mozart's greatest piano concertos, more than any other works, elevated the genre to the exalted status it holds to this day, and bequeathed composers from Beethoven on with models for their own explorations. These works alone absolutely destroy the insulting canard, uttered by Pierre Boulez and others, that Mozart contributed no innovations to the history of music (my earlier refutation here). After 1786, however, tastes changed, Mozart was no longer a novelty — we know the sad story of Mozart's final years. Only two more concertos emerged between 1787 and Mozart's death in 1791.
After years in which classical composers and performers typically fancied themselves above the commercial fray, entrepreneurship has by necessity recently come back into the classical lexicon. Check out Greg Sandow's blog for many inventive examples. Well, for Mozart and his contemporaries, there was nothing at all dirty about making a buck, or whatever they called money back them. So, despite the fact that posterity would regard them as inviolable masterworks, if Mozart could monetize his concertos by arranging them for easier and more frequent performance, he wouldn't hesitate to do so. In fact, he did so, with arrangements for piano and string quintet of his first three Vienna concertos, No. 11-13. Here's an excellent recording, though I will admit to finding these versions a bit dull compared with the grander originals, missing in particular Mozart's piquant scoring for winds.
Far more interesting is the arrangement of Mozart's Concerto No. 26, "Coronation," that comes up in the noon hour on Wednesday. It's not by Mozart, but it's the next best thing: one of seven Mozart concertos arranged by the pianist and composer Johann Nepomuk Hummel (above right), who practically became a member of the family when he studied and boarded with Mozart from 1785-87. While Hummel's original works, fine as they are, fail to uphold the high reputation accorded them at the time, these arrangements are beautiful works of art. Backed by just flute, violin and cello, the piano parts in these chamber versions are tastefully fleshed out with Hummel's own ornamentation and enrichment of the texture. A moustache on the Mona Lisa? Not hardly; on the contrary, they probably give us a taste of how Mozart himself went beyond the written notes (which after all, he had written) in his own performances. Think of that the next time a performer gasses on about reverential faithfulness to the original text of Mozart's concertos. And tune in during the noon hour Wednesday for a performance by pianist Fumiko Shiraga (below left) and friends that turns the lofty "Coronation" into an exquisite, intimate musical dialogue — real chamber music, rather than the mini-concertos of Mozart's own arrangements.
But don't go away after that. Because in the 3:00 hour, we'll hear Mozart's original, lovingly rendered by pianist/conductor Rudolf Buchbinder and the Vienna Symphony, from their excellent series of Mozart's complete Piano Concertos. With full scoring, including trumpets and timpani, the work takes on the festive air appropriate to its association, real or not, with Leopold II's coronation as Holy Roman Emperor in 1790. Still, there's intimacy and tenderness a-plenty in Buchbinder's treatment of this underrated work. So which of the two versions do I prefer? The one I'm listening to at the time, of course!
Mozart for the "masses"
Speaking of Mozart arrangements and accommodations, Pioneer Valley Symphony will be hosting a Sing-along of the Mozart Coronation Mass, and Verdi's Stabat Mater, at All Souls Greenfield on July 25th. It's a great way to get familiar with the music, even if you're not a fabulous singer. We'll have scores to lend. More info at pvso.org!

Earlier this month Formula One's governing body punished Pirelli and Mercedes for holding an unsanctioned tire test -- at the British Grand Prix it was Pirelli meting out punishment to the elite racing series.
British home hope Lewis Hamilton lost the lead when the left-rear tire of his Mercedes began to unravel on the eighth lap at the demanding Silverstone circuit.
It was the first of four incidents as Ferrari's Felipe Massa, Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne and McLaren's Sergio Perez also had their races ruined by failures to the exact same tire.
Hamilton -- and the 130,000 British fans who streamed into Silverstone to support the 2008 world champion -- were left counting the cost more than most.
His problem handed Sebastian Vettel the race lead and Red Bull's defending world champion marched ominously towards the checkered flag.
But there was a final twist -- and a dash of retribution for Mercedes -- as Vettel's Red Bull ground to a halt with 10 laps to go.
"We had a gearbox issue," said the German, who now leads the championship by 21 points from Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
"Fifth gear broke and it was not possible to carry on. It was quite disappointing to stop and retire."
The Mercedes of Nico Rosberg inherited the lead from Vettel and the German, who celebrated his 28th birthday this weekend, raced to his first British GP victory and second of the season.
"When Seb stopped, I won't lie, I wasn't disappointed," smiled Rosberg, winner of the Monaco GP. "I definitely feel sorry for the British fans as it would have been a great ace for Lewis.
"But there were too many tire failures today and they need to look into that."
Mark Webber, who announced he was retiring from the sport at the end of the year, recovered from a dismal start to claim a brilliant second in his last-ever F1 race on British soil.
"The start was a big negative for us and then [Romain] Grosjean touched my front wing at Turn One and the race reset from there," Webber explained.
"I pushed very hard to do the business and in the end it was a very, very good result. It's been a real highlight for me to race at this circuit."
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso followed the Australian home and the Spaniard said he considered himself "lucky" to have avoided the tire issues that hit other drivers.
"It was a lucky race for us," said Alonso. "We recovered some points but we need to raise our game as our pace is not good enough."
There was some world-class racing in the final laps.
Hamilton fought his way back through the field to finish fourth ahead of Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen, who is nine points ahead of the Briton in the championship.
Rosberg reprimand
But regardless of the driving drama, tire failures dominated the fall-out from the British race --- even Vettel's first retirement in 12 months seemed to dip under the radar.
In the immediate aftermath of the race, Pirelli responded to serious safety concerns as the drivers questioned whether they were pushing themselves and their cars to the limit in safe conditions.
"Someone could've crashed," said Hamilton. "I was thinking behind the safety car that it's only when someone gets hurt that something will be done about it."
Massa, who was running in fourth before his tire failure, added: "What happened is unacceptable.
"It was very dangerous for all of the 22 drivers racing. In order for us to race we cannot have these problems. They need to do something for our safety."
In a short media conference after the race, Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery explained: "Today wasn't foreseen. We've seen a different type of problem.

Detroit exec Suzanne Shank named acting CEO of Siebert Financial
Suzanne Shank
New York-based Siebert Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: SIEB) has announced the appointment of Suzanne Shank as acting CEO of the company and its wholly owned subsidiary, the New York-based discount broker/dealer and institutional investment banking firm of Muriel Siebert & Co. Inc. A 25-year veteran of the industry, Shank will also continue in her role as president and CEO of the New York-based municipal finance firm of Siebert Brandford Shank & Co. LLC, which she co-founded with Muriel "Mickie" Siebert and Napoleon Brandford in 1996. Although the company is based in New York, Shank has served as president and CEO out of the Detroit office. In 2007, she was named by Crain's Detroit Business as one of the most influential woman in Southeast Michigan. Siebert Financial was founded by Siebert, who died on Aug. 24. The firm became a member of the New York Stock Exchange in 1967, when Siebert became the first woman to own a seat on the exchange. Siebert Brandford Shank, which is 49 percent owned by Muriel Siebert & Co., has managed more than $1 trillion in transactions for state and local governments. The firm is the top-ranked minority- and women-owned municipal bond underwriting firm in the country and is the only minority and women-owned firm ever nationally ranked in the top 10 among such firms in the country. In June Shank, a Georgia native, received the National Association of Securities Professionals' entrepreneur of the year award. She has an MBA in finance from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and a degree in civil engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. "I am deeply honored to be named acting CEO of the company founded by Wall Street legend Muriel Siebert," said Suzanne Shank in a press release. "Mickie was not only a trailblazer on Wall Street but a wonderful partner, mentor and friend." Tom Henderson: (313) 446-0337, firstname.lastname@example.com.

The plan is to let it all grow out again (both the hair and the 'stache), and this time I'm going to try to take good care of my hair all from the beginning. At the time when I took the photograph that I use as my avatar, my hair looked good once a week or so, it was too dry and too damaged. It'll take quite some time for it to grow out, but it's hopefully going to be more obedient this time around.
Regarding the Swedish genetics, I honestly don't know what's wrong with us, haha. We seem to have an unusually high concentration of...positive aspects, for a country with a population of just 10 million.

Hey guys, I apologize if this question has already been asked, but I'm curious.
At Bonnaroo, to which I am going for part of, they have something set up called "The Beatles Rock Band Experience". I haven't been able to figure out what that is, although the fact that they are still supporting the game along the "Green Day Rock Band Experience" definitely says something (I want more DLC as much as the next guy )
Anyone have any idea exactly what it is?

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers returned to Boston on Thursday night, one of the towns that helped break them over 30 years ago, for the first of a two-night stand at the Comcast Center.
My Morning Jacket is the youngest opening act of the Mojo tour, with no band member old enough to remember the release of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in 76. Yet it's easy to see how the Kentucky quintet's dynamic rock anthems might have been influenced by hearing "Free Fallin'" on the FM radio as kids. Their set last night was powerful and dynamic and was greeted with excitement by the members of the audience who were able to leave work and get out to the suburban venue early.
Tonight's Mojo mini-set was tremendous: "Good Enough" was dark and menacing, "Running Man's Bible" rocked and rolled and "I Should Have Known It" was just plain mean. As they left the stage to euphoric applause, Tom paused at the mike and smiled, saying, "Boston, thank you very much for tonight and all the years of support. Goodnight and God bless!"
Night two in Boston on Saturday night! Come see us at the Comcast Center and keep checking back for more photos, videos and more!

Hands down was the best concert I've ever been to. I grew up on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers from listening to their music with my parents and now I'm a fan for life. Every song is wonderful Please come back to Boston ASAP :-)
They got their Mojo working!
We were lucky enough to be able to go to this gig whilst on holiday in the Boston area from UK. My wife and I last saw TP and the Heartbreakers at Wembley Arena, London supporting Bob Dylan (they blew him off stage by the way!) and were pretty excited to get the chance to see them again. We were not disappointed. This band was on fire tonight!
From Listen to her Heart onwards the band played their hearts out - is there currently a better guitarist in the world than Mike Cambell? To hear his playing on Good Enough made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up - just awesome!
There was not a duff song played tonight - the hits were great and the stuff from Mojo was brilliant and you could see the band were having a blast playing it.
You lucky people over in the USA get to see this band regularly - any chance of persuading Tom and the boys over to the UK?
August 19th show, Mansfield, MA- Usual G
i got to sit in the 5th row which was grand!! (last time they played here i was in last row!)... saw them in worcester, MA many years ago in the 5th row, and it brought back lots of memories. i see TP&HB every time they come to MA and every time they do something special (like the time they started the show with the Standells 'Dirty Water', which was hysterical!!). everyone, seemed to know every word to every song on the 8/19, it was a great crowd, young and older!! mike was really 'on'... this guy is great, he should get the recognition he richly deserves. the thing about TP&HB, is they are so gracious and charming. TP always goes way out of his way to say how much he appreciates 'the fans' they are very sincere, it really shows. they always play great shows in MA., i think they really do like us a lot here... and we adore them!! they had ovation after ovation thursday, and were at a loss for words after a while, class act's all the way!!
Red Boots
Those Boots are made for walkin...............
and look at that Firebird!!!
Thank you for an amazing show!
TPatH's music has gotten me through a lot ... the death of my daughter and a divorce ... and it has been empowering all along. It was a dream come true to see them in concert and to be in the front by the stage when both Mike and Tom made their way over to the side where my husband and I were seated and watching in awe. This was by far the best concert I have ever seen in my life. Tom treats his fans with respect and his smile and confidence on stage are a joy to watch. We've been listening to Mojo all summer long and to see them played live was unbelievable.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your your music! It's meant so much to me over the years!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your your music! It's meant so much to me over the years!
Totally Blew My Mind....
I was so fortunate to have a front row seat to see the GREATEST rock & roll band that ever lived! It was such an incredible, magical night...it was so much more than I expected. Being so close to Tom and Mike was so surreal. Tom Petty....you still got it man! You belted out those tunes like it's nobody's business. Mike Campbell is the greatest, coolest guitar player ever! I wore my MOJO t-shirt and Ron pointed at me with approval! Tom was about 10 feet away and it blew my mind to have actually made eye contact with him!! I will NEVER forget 8.19.10! THANK YOU Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers for putting on the GREATEST show I've ever seen. I still haven't come down from this natural high. I only hope they will make plans to tour again.
Great show 8/19! What a great mix of old and young in the audience, and everyone seemed to know all the words to so many of the songs! Plus, I enjoyed hearing that old Fleetwood Mac song, too. I have been to many TP concerts since 1979, and this one was one of my favorites. Keep rockin' guys! BTW, Running Man's Bible is awesome...
Awesome show! Thank you so much
I was so happy with the tickets I picked up for hosting as Mojo listening party in June. I brought my friend that owns the blues bar to her first Tom Petty concert and she has fallen madly in love, just as I had warned her. Mike was SO on - and it was great that we could actually see Benmont with the piano facing us. As always, Tom you were such a great host, and totally rocked... and you look as beautiful as ever.
Two Hours of Bliss
The first Boston show was sensational-I've been to many over the years and they've never been better. What a high to ride those rifts with the crowd of both old and new fans-it was really heartening to see young people who connect with good old- fashioned American roots rock and roll. We had floor seats and also met some of the people who came from Barcelona. As all the newspaper reviews noted, the band has really rejuvenated some of the old standards by tweeking and extending the arrangements. The bluesy Mojo tunes sizzle and Mike Campbell's brilliance is finally being recognized and showcased. Some great guitar duets with Petty. The band members all seemed energized and into it; there was nothing "rote" about this set-it was fresh, powerful, and transcendent. Thank you Heartbreakers for making the world seem magical.
I loved the show, the professionalism, the guitars! Great performance the energy is amazing. I always go to T P & The H shows. My ears are still buzzing. I did not care for the opening act...My morning Jacket. Tom usually has great opening acts but there were many of us that had to wait outside the area until they were through because the sound was way too much.
Steve Winwood is a great opening act and so is Jackson Browne.
Tom - you and the band are great!
a little adivce to "all my fans" : DON'T BUY THE TICKET!! stay home so the resf of us can enjoy the show
a little advice for the two "fans" who posted the negative comments below:DON'T BUY THE TICKET!
tom petty
your the man tom lots of old song and new i love all them your the best
What it's about?
Too old to play...? Come on, I just got back from a 4 show run with Dickey Betts & Great Southern. At the Norwalk, CT show, in a heatwave, it was 98 degrees with high humidity... I know from dancing front row, who from into the first 2 minutes, the sweat dripping off him onto his guitars for the rest of the show of almost 3 hrs, at 65 years of age.
I'm all for guidelines, but, when did such rigidity enter rock n' roll...as for the $$$...some things can't be bought...such as the joy I hope you experience when playing a sold out show...
we paid $150 per ticket.
I can only hope it's not about the $$$, but the music you are blessed to be able to create & share. I know my world has been touched by
your musical genius & because of your reflections, I'm a more beautiful Being...
been a fan for over 30 years...does it even matter?
Maybe the band should be renamed to simply, The Breakers, as the last post bears witness to little Heart.
Coming to see Ya'll!
My daughter and I are coming to see ya'll tomorrow night. But I'll always remember the Full Moon tour where you came to my side of the stage and stayed to sing Face In The Crowd....and if i had my eyes open, I'd have gotten an eye full of Tom Petty and his guitar..too overwhelmed to do so, and worried then about making that s.o.b. of a husband jealous...well..he's gone, Praise the Lord...and there's no one! Just my daughter and I coming for a ripping, rocking, rolling time! Many thanks for your music over the years! Say Hi to Winstead, Janette says...Peace
to all of my fans
thank you for making me rich,haha i dont give a shit what you want to hear.i dont even look at this shit!! so say what you want to say.i'm rich hehehehe.18 songs is all you're gonna get i'm to old to play any more then 18 songs. peace i'm out!
Hommage to Georges!
Tom and band
Please play your great rendition of "while my guitar gently weeps" when you finish of the concert and make a great evening unforgettable to me and a lot of other fans.
Saluting George Harrison can not be done to often!

Anger over extended badger cull
11:06am Wednesday 9th October 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
Campaigners have reacted angrily after it emerged that badger culls could be extended by three weeks because not enough animals have been killed.
The culls in west Somerset and Gloucestershire could be extended to maximise the impact on the spread of bovine tuberculosis, Environment Secretary Owen Paterson revealed.
Mr Paterson said the six-week action in west Somerset has killed 850 badgers - 60% of the local population.
"Current indications suggest that the pilot has been safe, humane and effective in delivering a reduction in the badger population of just under 60%.
"We set ourselves a challenging target of aiming to ensure that 70% of the badger population was removed during the pilot. The chief veterinary officer (CVO) has advised that the 60% reduction this year will deliver clear disease benefits as part of a four-year cull.
"However, Natural England are considering an application from Somerset for a short extension of the culling period, as provided for under the agreement with the company.
"The advice of the CVO is that further increasing the number of badgers culled would improve those benefits even further and enable them to accrue earlier."
He added in a statement to MPs : "The cull in Gloucestershire is still ongoing and I will make a further statement when the six weeks is completed. I understand that this morning Gloucestershire is also submitting an application for an extension to Natural England."
Mr Paterson indicated that in future the period for culls may have to be longer than six weeks to ensure "high levels of safety and humaneness".
"This Government is committed to tackling the disease in all reservoirs and by all available means. Our cattle industry and the countryside deserve no less," he added.
But Queen guitarist Brian May, a leading opponent of the cull, said figures showing the number of badgers killed were "widely disparate", and urged ministers to abandon the "ridiculous" cull.
He told BBC Breakfast: "To be honest, it's getting more and more ridiculous. This is the third lot of figures we've seen, they're widely disparate.
"They have no idea how many badgers there are and they keep adjusting the figures to make it look like this is a success.
"This was supposed to be a two-week shoot. It's already been extended to six weeks from two - now they want another three weeks.
"This has demonstrated already that free shooting doesn't work. The only way they got to 800 badgers was by cage-trapping and shooting.
"If you are cage-trapping and shooting, you can cage-trap and vaccinate.
"There is no way on earth that culling badgers can lead to the eradication of TB.
"We have to abandon this ridiculous cull.
"This cull is a waste of time and a waste of our money."
Anti-cull campaigners branded the Government announcement as either "suspiciously convenient or dangerously incompetent".
Wendy Higgins, communications director for Humane Society International UK, said: "It is suspiciously convenient that, as Defra ministers were staring down the barrel of an unmitigated disaster, the badger kill targets have been halved and the Government will declare the cull a success when everyone knows it's been an utter shambles.
"Either that, or Defra has been dangerously incompetent and shown itself incapable of even counting badgers.
"Either way, it is truly shocking that the kill targets for shooters were set higher than the actual number of badgers in the cull zone, and it is only the shooters' inability to meet those targets that prevented local badger populations from being wiped out altogether.
"If that had happened, Britain would now be in breach of the Bern Convention, which is why HSI UK appealed to Bern to stop the cull last year.
"In light of this, it is quite outrageous that Defra is seeking to extend the cruelty and chaos for another three weeks. This has got to stop. Defra needs to come clean and kill the cull for good."
Meanwhile, the NFU welcomed Mr Paterson's written statement.
President Peter Kendall said: "After the Secretary of State's comments today on the progress that has been made, I want to thank those involved in carrying out what is a very important first step on the long road towards eradicating TB in cattle, in badgers and from our countryside," he said.
"Safety and humaneness are two really important tests.
"I am also pleased to hear confirmation from the Government Chief Vet that the current cull operations in Somerset to date will deliver disease reduction as part of a four-year plan.
"I understand that the company carrying out the cull in Somerset has applied to Natural England to extend the culling period to enhance its disease control.
"They made this application towards the end of the six-week pilot cull and I understand that a decision will be taken this week whether to extend the licence.
"The knowledge learned from these two badger cull pilot areas will be invaluable in helping to deliver future roll-out of badger control operations in areas where the incidence of TB is rife.
"Our absolute focus, and that of everyone involved, is disease control. More than 38,000 cattle were slaughtered in Great Britain in 2012 because of bovine TB.
"These badger cull pilots are a very important first step in what is a 25-year strategy to eradicate this terrible and infectious disease."
Asked on BBC's Spotlight programme in the West Country whether he was "moving the goalposts", Mr Paterson said: "That's not right, the badgers have moved the goalposts."
He added: "You are dealing with wild animals. It is a wild animal subject to the vagaries of the weather, disease and breeding patterns."
Labour's shadow environment secretary Maria Eagle said: "The extension of these badger cull trials demonstrates that the Government's approach is not working, which is hardly surprising when it was not based on any scientific evidence. There is now a real danger that even longer trials could exacerbate spread of TB as more badgers flee, risking infecting cattle in other areas.
"Eradicating TB from cattle is vital for farmers, the wider rural economy, taxpayers and wildlife which is why we need a science-based approach focused on vaccination of cattle and badgers and proper restrictions on the movement of livestock.
"Instead of going to ground, Owen Paterson should have immediately come before Parliament to explain what has gone wrong with his badger cull."
Joe Duckworth, chief executive of the League Against Cruel Sports said: " We are astounded at the incompetence of the Government on this matter. The cull was postponed last year due to errors on badger numbers, but yet again we are in the same position of confusion on the basics. The whole policy flies in the face of scientific sensibility.
"The Government is opening itself up to accusations of 'fixing' the cull results for their own political ends."
Mr May branded the badger cull an "utter failure" and described the application for an extension as a "farce".
"Peter Kendall trying to pretend it's a success by changing the initial estimate of numbers is ludicrous," he said.
"It's a failure because they said they had to cull 70% and they failed to do that. They are now applying for an extension.
"This is becoming a farce. They are now being told that probably the prevalence (of TB) has increased in badgers already.
"They were warned this would happen and they did not listen to the scientists. Pretending this is a science-based cull is a farce.
"Nobody knows how many badgers there are out there. There was all this talk of an explosion in badger population. If this latest figure is to be believed, there is absolutely no explosion whatsoever.
"How can they keep adjusting these figures? What's the basis for what they are saying?
"The fact they only got 200 badgers after the first couple of weeks is very significant because it shows free shooting does not work as a system.
"The only reason they got 800 badgers is because they went over to trapping badgers and killing them.
"If you can trap a badger and shoot it in the head, you can trap a badger and vaccinate it for the same amount of money.
"The whole argument for this cull has been 'We have to do something now and it has to be affordable'.
"Vaccination is very affordable. I heard a figure the other day of £85,000 per badger killed. This is ludicrous and is our money being spent and it will not solve the problem.
"It's a waste of our money and it's incredibly inhumane to the badgers, to the cows and to the farmers."
May said the application to extend the pilot should be refused and the cull should not be rolled out across the country.
"Instead of wasting our energy with this war that is going on, we should be getting together as we are in Wales to vaccinate the population of badgers and in a few years take them out of the equation," he said.
"We should also move fast on Europe. Fast will mean 10 years but compared to 25 years of culling with Owen Paterson's scheme, that is a pretty good deal."

- " This place is very old and in desperate need of a facelift. They are in a nice area of DC, Adams Morgan. It has a strange layout, but is not inviting. The check in area is combined with the tv lounge. Its awkward to say the least. The room that I was in was a 6 bed dorm, but is way too small. There are no lockers available to secure any of your belongings and just some spaces here and there in the room to place your luggage. The bathroom was also disappointing. The mirror is rusting. "
- 07 Aug 2013 Anonymous USA
- " The personnel is very kind: I arrived very late (11.30 PM) because of a problem with the bus and they still waited for me and kept vey kind. The neightborhood is very lively and fun. It is easy to make friends in the hostel and compared to others in other cities it has a very good quality/price ratio. I planned to stay there nly for 2 days, but I decided to extend my stay there for two additional nights. Satisfied "

- " very good hostel, great location. fun to chill out while seeing all the sites, and a great location in adams morgan. slightly lacking in terms of social scene but its a hostel, so its always going to be driven by those staying there. staff are all friendly and love to have a chat and share experiences and ideas. slightly dirty in places but its a hostel, everything is washed and cleaned multiple times daily. would stay again/10 "

- " I have always been turned away when I go to this particular hostel in Adams Morgan. I actually had a reservation and the guy put me in this filthy room. I got back later that night and tried to get in the room. The key was not opening the door for nothing. needless to say it ruined my stay and I was terribly broken rested from being locked out the room and nobody let me in... smh. I slept in a chair. "

- 01 Jul 2013 Svetlana Russia
- " Well located, friendly staff. The room in which I stayed was very disorganized and not very clean, but this wasn't the hostels fault. The guests seem to be living there (hate that type of rooms) the bathrooms are very old and not clean, that could definitely improve. The kitchen wasn't very nice, but I appreciated the breakfast. The staff is very friendly and helpful. For a night it was fine and the place where is located is very nice, full of bars, restaurants, etc. "

Standard Gasoline Direct Injection Technology and Standard SACHS Amplitude Selective Damping Improve Driving Performance for All
COSTA MESA, Calif., Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hyundai Tucson, known for its combination of style and function, adds even more value in 2014 with advanced 2.0-liter Nu and 2.4-liter Theta II Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines, enhancing torque and engine responsiveness. With GDI standard on Tucson, like its big-brother Santa Fe, every Hyundai CUV now features this performance-enhancing technology. Tucson is the first Hyundai to receive the 2.0-liter Nu GDI engine in the United States. It will be applied to other models later in the 2014 model year.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131002/LA90771LOGO-b)
Tucson's new GDI engines are complemented with all-new standard SACHS Amplitude Selective Damping (ASD) for optimum ride, handling and driving comfort. 2014 Tucson also adds a host of available new refinements, including Hyundai's Blue Link safety, service and infotainment telematics system, two-stage reclining rear seats and third-generation navigation with a larger seven-inch touchscreen display and HD Radio technology. The 2014 Tucson will be available at Hyundai dealerships in fall of 2013.

Exterior Enhancements
In a segment where GDI engines are not normally found, the addition of the 2.0-liter Nu GDI engine to the Tucson GLS will be popular with consumers. The new 2.0-liter Nu GDI engine produces an estimated 164 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 151 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm. Performance gains were achieved by equipping the engine with an efficient, responsive GDI fuel delivery system. In the Tucson, the engine delivers higher peak torque at lower rpm for enhanced everyday driving dynamics when compared with a similar multi-port fuel injected engine. Equipping the Nu four-cylinder engine with GDI ensures a good balance between performance and fuel economy. The entry-level 2014 Tucson GLS with the 2.0-liter Nu engine will also offer AWD for the first time. AWD was not available on the entry-level 2013 Tucson GL. The Tucson with the 2.0-liter GDI engine achieves an EPA estimated 23 mpg city fuel economy figure with a ULEV emissions rating.

Tucson buyers looking for more horsepower and torque can choose the 2.4-liter Theta II GDI engine, which has been well tested in the Sonata and Santa Fe Sport. This engine has the ability to tow up to 2,000 pounds. With 182 horsepower and 177 lb-ft. of torque, Tucson SE and Limited deliver strong EPA estimated fuel economy of 24 mpg combined, along with outstanding real-world performance feel.

All Tucson models utilize a six-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC® manual control. For 2014, the gated gear shifter has been upgraded to a straight-type with boot for ease of use. Tucson models feature Hyundai's Active ECO System. Active ECO modifies engine and transmission control to smooth out throttle response. By turning on Active ECO, drivers can realize up to a 5-7 percent increase in real-world fuel economy.
New projector headlights with LED accents and available wraparound LED taillights stand out from Tucson's flowing lines, full surfaces and muscular presence. This athletic design language is highlighted by bold, dynamic, graphic elements such as the Hyundai family hexagonal front grille, aggressive lower air intake, sculptured hood creases and sleek greenhouse. Chrome grille accents and door handles lend sophistication to the top-of-the-line Tucson Limited. The profile of Tucson features a sports car-like theme with a double-zigzag treatment for the wheel arches that wrap around the standard 17-inch alloy wheels or the new 18-inch alloy wheel design. Roof rack rails are now available with optional panoramic sunroof and standard shark-fin antenna on Tucson Limited.
The Tucson has always had outstanding rear legroom and now second row passengers can recline their seats for even more comfort. The 2014 Tucson continues to have more passenger volume than Rogue and Escape at 101.9 cubic feet. The spacious cabin on Tucson Limited is further enhanced for all passengers by the available panoramic sunroof. New beige and brown interior colors add a more premium look and an upgraded instrument panel and upper door trim materials add a more premium feel on SE and Limited models.
The high-tech cockpit comes standard with Hyundai's signature blue lighting, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, steering wheel mounted audio and cruise controls, power windows, power door locks, fold-away mirrors and remote keyless entry with alarm and panic button. Now even the front cupholders are illuminated with blue light for nighttime drives. Another premium feature in the Tucson Limited is dual front automatic temperature control with CleanAir Ionizer that helps to kill germs within the system when the heater or air conditioner is running. Other available features include leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, power driver seat with lumbar support, automatic headlights, front wiper de-icer and new floor console-mounted rear vents.
The 2014 Tucson's athletic shape is complemented with agile handling. Tucson uses MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension systems for more precise wheel control and a smoother ride. All four wheels are controlled by coil springs and SACHS Amplitude Selective Damping (ASD), allowing tuning flexibility at smaller damper displacements. The ASD suspension provides:
The front suspension has a 24.5 mm hollow stabilizer bar to save weight, while the rear suspension has a 15 mm (AWD) & 17 mm (FWD) solid stabilizer bar. Larger stabilizer bars help to keep the vehicle flat during cornering and help provide quick turn-in response.
Due to the suspension geometry and wider track width that enables greater turn angles, Tucson's turning circle is 34.7 feet – an advantage Tucson drivers will appreciate in their daily driving and parking. In fact, Tucson's turning diameter bests Honda CR-V and Ford Escape.

The Tucson Limited offers an optional multifunction seven-inch touch-screen display with navigation. This third-generation display features a simpler user interface, enhanced voice recognition commands and improved navigation screens. The system is more intuitive for commonly used tasks. Simple pop-up messages now appear to help pair a cell phone and the voice recognition software understands street addresses and cities all in one sentence. The route screens display speed limits and details the next three maneuvers. One or two button pushes now complete most functions.
Tucson GLS and SE trims have a 160-watt AM/FM/SiriusXM/CD/MP3 audio system with six speakers. This system includes SiriusXM Satellite Radio® and iPod®/USB auxiliary inputs. The SE and Limited trims come equipped with a 4.3-inch color touchscreen audio with standard rearview camera. An available premium audio system with navigation pumps out 360-watts of sound and includes an external amplifier and subwoofer. It also plays compact discs, accesses digital music files employing Bluetooth streaming audio and allows driver and passenger to access their personal listening devices through the iPod/USB/auxiliary inputs. Bluetooth audio wirelessly streams music from a phone to the audio system.
Available HD Radio technology is also equipped with the Navigation system. An HD Radio icon on the display appears next to the channel frequency to notify the user when a station is broadcasting in HD. Customers can also access additional programming content provided by HD Radio Technology.
Hyundai's industry-leading telematics services program, Assurance Connected Care, is standard on all 2014 Tucsons equipped with Blue Link, for three years. This innovative ownership program provides Hyundai owners with proactive safety and Car Care services via the Hyundai Blue Link telematics system. These services include Automatic Collision Notification, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Automatic Diagnostic Trouble Code Notification, Monthly Vehicle Health Report and in-vehicle Car Care maintenance scheduling.
Hyundai also recently introduced an all-new mobile app for the Blue Link telematics platform.

Tucson's widespread use of high-strength steel provides increased strength at a lower body weight. High-strength steel allows the four-wheel independent suspension to work optimally. At 3,232 pounds, the automatic transmission equipped Tucson GLS is lighter than its competitors while offering more interior room than Escape. This weight efficient unibody architecture allows for Tucson to achieve an EPA estimated 29 mpg estimated EPA highway rating.
To make Tucson even more versatile, Hyundai engineers added an advanced electronic AWD system. The AWD system will automatically activate under any driving condition when needed, distributing the power equally and optimizing driving performance. Under normal driving, the system only distributes power to the front wheels, thereby reducing fuel consumption. The system includes a driver-selectable AWD lock allowing for a 50/50 torque split between the front and rear wheels for off-road and very slippery conditions. The entry-level 2014 Tucson GLS with the 2.0-liter Nu engine will also offer AWD for the first time. AWD was not available on the entry-level 2013 Tucson GL.
For even more driver control, the 2014 Tucson features Hyundai's Hillstart Assist Control (HAC) and Downhill Brake Control (DBC). HAC is designed to minimize rolling backwards on steep ascents. By selecting the DBC switch, the Hydro-Electronic Control unit manages the wheel speed sensors, steering angle sensor and acceleration sensor to maintain control and speed on steep declines without having to use the brake. DBC is not available on any other vehicles in the segment and is typically found on luxury SUVs with much higher price tags.
The 2014 Tucson features a total of 19 different storage places and drink holders:
Hyundai Motor America, headquartered in Costa Mesa, Calif., is a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co. of Korea.

U.S. consumers "are stepping in where companies fear to tread," according to this story from Bloomberg, which includes comments from Eaton Corp. CEO Sandy Cutler.
The story notes that Americans "are more upbeat while business sentiment stagnates, a sign their spending will provide a bridge for the economic expansion until the so-called fiscal cliff is resolved and entices companies to resume investment."
Household optimism is the highest in more than four years, reports from the Conference Board and Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan show, while a Bloomberg gauge of confidence in the economy is the strongest since early 2008.Businesses, meanwhile, remain nervous about the — sorry for using this term, but it's the one everyone uses — "fiscal cliff," which amounts to $607 billion in federal tax increases and spending cuts slated for next year unless Congress and the president can work out a deal.Count Mr. Cutler among those rooting for a compromise.Bloomberg reports that Eaton, which makes industrial equipment and vehicle powertrain systems, "is counting on a rebound in demand when a more conducive political environment allows businesses to resume the investment they've postponed."Mr. Cutler said in an Oct. 31 earnings call, "We've seen people speak explicitly about not placing orders until they see how things come out here at year-end."A bipartisan agreement on the fiscal cliff means "business confidence will improve fairly rapidly," he said. "It is not necessary that all of the cuts be affected in one year or that all of the revenue rates be affected. But there has to be a plan that's credible."Can that happen? Hard to say. Analysts at Barclays, for instance, aren't optimistic:We felt that the worst outcome for the fiscal cliff negotiations was a status quo election, because each party could see the results as a mandate for their policies; this is what transpired (Tuesday) night.

Grants Programs
Autism Speaks supports global biomedical research into the diagnosis, causes, prevention, and treatment of autism or its disabling symptoms. Our mission is to improve the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders. In support of that mission we provide funding along the entire research continuum - from discovery to development to dissemination - for innovative projects that hold considerable promise for significantly improving the lives of those affected by autism.
Autism Speaks holds a variety of investigator-initiated grant calls. We are pleased to be able to support many different types of projects, each critical for advancing all phases of autism research, from basic to clinical to treatment. These grants are crucial for allowing investigators to gain enough data to be able to attract even larger, multi-year commitments from the NIH and other traditional medical research funding organizations.
Fellowships provide the necessary resources to support and encourage the development of young scientists who benefit from the mentorship of prominent researchers. We believe the investment in autism research training will grow exponentially as many of our fellows later assume teaching roles and join departments around the country and the world, many of which currently have no representation in autism research.
Autism Speaks research funding will be restricted to projects that address one of the following priorities:
- Identify risk factors for ASD that can lead to prevention and improved diagnosis and treatment
- Reduce age of detection and improve access to early intervention for children with ASD
- Enhance quality of, and access to, medical care for individuals with ASD
- Promote the development of safe, effective interventions and medicines to reduce core and associated symptoms of ASD throughout the lifespan
- Improve the health and outcomes of adults with ASD from a lifetime perspective
Examples of types of projects that would be relevant include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Biomarkers, genetics, genomics and their clinical utility
- Environmental risk factors and gene-environment interactions
- Preclinical research aimed at understanding pathophysiology, target identification and validation, including immune mechanisms in autism
- Clinical characterization, stratification of clinical samples using gene-phenotype algorithms
- Novel Treatments
- Effectiveness studies and dissemination science
- Biorepositories and bioinformatic support, and other resources to accelerate research
For all applications, the relevance of the proposed research to Autism Speaks targeted research priorities (outlined above and in the RFA) must be explicit. Please refer to the specific Request for Applications (RFA) for the details of eligibility, the application, process, and access to the Autism Speaks grant system.

Are Fashion Editors The Saving Grace Of Social Media?
With most print publications in the midst of an economic pickle, many veteran fashion editors have found themselves a new career helping fashion brands expand their web presence. But while editors certainly have the experience and know-how with regards to making a newsletter pop, we can't help but think that some of these brands are looking for help in the wrong places.
