We have English keyboards. I never saw any other keyboard in my life. I've been wondering for a long time. How do people in Korea, China, Russia, Muslim countries and some European countries where English is less known. Do they have keyboards in their native language? I mean are the keyboard directly manufactured in their native language. Or do they use some kind of keyboard mapping softwares to acheive the task. I've been searching in Google images to have a glance at their computers but didn't find any real key pads for computers/smartphones.
If they have some non-English keyboard. Then how would they type web URLs? URLs possible in other languages also? If they have to type English URLs then it also means that they need to know English.
I've seen in some movies that they have all their softwares, windows have text in their native language. How do they have some different language?
I feel lost & confused.
If you have any screenshots / pics of such non-english computer please post. I want to see one.

Asst Prof Lucy Davis
Assistant Professor
School of Art, Design and Media
College of Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences
(+65)6316 8850
MA Roskilde University 2000
A visual artist for over 15 years and a writer on art and culture for nearly as long, Lucy Davis' biography includes field research into cultural development, gender, ecology and political theatre amongst Mbororo pastoralist peoples in NW Cameroon; Scenography for a series intercultural theatre initiatives in Denmark; Practice-led research into scapegoat psychology, ritual and performance in Copenhagen; Socially-engaged art collaborations with asylum seekers; Installation art explorations of identity and projection; Research into aesthetic strategies and identitarian ideology in Singapore; An Associate Artist position with The Necessary Stage Theatre company (Singapore) alongside founding and editing the six volume Singapore/Southeast Asian series, FOCAS, Forum on Contemporary Art & Society (2000-2007).
Lucy's art practice and writing since 2006 has concerned ways in which culture and nature in Southeast Asia are imagined, represented and performed in art, visual culture, heritage and everyday life. She has a particular interest in the Singapore/Malayan Modern Woodcut and since 2008 has been devising ways to recast the form and content of this historic movement in a contemporary macro context of "Cuttings of Wood" (rainforest destruction in Southeast Asia). Another thread in this research follows intersections of natural histories and art practice as well as the cultures and aesthetics of science.
In 2009, Lucy commenced an Artist in Residence with DoubleHelix Tracking Technologies--a Singapore/UK startup who DNA test forest products to certify that these are from legal rather than illegal sources. In 2010 she founded The Migrant Ecologies Project www.migrantecologies.org--an umbrella for arts and ecology initiatives
She currently serves as Area Coordinator for Art History at the school of Art Design and Media where she is assisting in the building of an art history BA curriculum--a first for Singapore university education. She has also designed and taught the following courses: Nature in Art & Visual Culture; City Body Memory Art & Everyday Life in Contemporary Singapore; Southeast Asia Modern & Contemporary Art and a Western Art History Survey specifically targeted at Art, Design & Media students.
Recent artistic projects:
"Jalan Jati (Teak Road)". (An ACRF Tier1 Grant Output) Jalan Jati the film won Promotion Award of the International Competition at Oberhausen Short Film Festival 2012, The project as a whole was Finalist for the French Prix COAL Art & Ecology Prize 2011). Other projects include: "Pioneer Landscape Development Project", part of Martha Rosler's Singapore Biennale garden project, 2011, "Together Again (Wood:Cut) Part II MAGIC". (RGB startup grant) The Substation, Singapore 2009 & "Together Again (Wood:Cut) Part I. NATURAL HISTORY", Post Museum, Singapore 2009 (The Together Again (Wood:Cut) series was nominated for the APBC Signature Asia Pacific Art Prize Singapore Art Museum 2011) .
Recent art writing projects:
Lucy is currently SEAsia Contributor for ANTENNAE, The Journal of Nature in Visual Culture (UK) www.antennae.org. Her article "In the Company of Trees" was published in the June 2011 "PLANTS" Volume of ANTENNAE and a chapter "Contagion: The Singapore Body Politic the Body of the Cat" in the Considering Animals anthology. Ashgate UK May 2011.
Alongside the publication series FOCAS Forum on Contemporary Art & Society, Lucy has published in The DOCUMENTA #12 READER (Taschen); BROADHSEET Art & Culture (Australia), Art Asia Pacific; (Sydney/New York), Inter-Asia Cultural Studies; (Routledge) NU The Nordic Art Review; (Stockholm).
Research Interests
KEYWORDS: Art & Ecology; Art & Society; Nature in Art & Visual Cultures; "indigenous"/Southeast Asian Conceptions of Nature; Migrations of Nature & Culture; Cultures of Science; DNA--its possibilities, ideology and poetics; The Posthuman Turn; Animal Studies; Wildlife Trafficking; Cultural & Natural Heritage; Material Cultures; Nature as Agent; Material-Led Research. Trees. Wood. Birds.
Lucy's current art practice and writing revolves around the may ways in which nature intervenes in human cultural life in Southeast Asia.
Lucy is founder of the Migrant Ecologies Project www.migrantecologies.org.
Work with the Migrant Ecologies Project involves a three year art practice and writing research into of stories of, and relationships between, humans, wood and trees and humans in our region, where trees and wood are explored as material, magic, metaphor, ecological resource and historical agent. Part of the research for the Migrant Ecologies Project is carried out while Lucy is Artist in Residence with Double Helix Timber Tracking Technologies--a company dedicated to combatting illegal logging through DNA profiling of timber.
The conceptual part of this research engages theoretical intersections of contemporary art practice, posthumanist theory and material culture. The aesthetic explorations in this research involve a reflexive recasting of the material, form and content of the Singapore modern woodcut movement through myriad histories of art, nature and life in Singapore/Malaya. The first two productions coming out of the Wood:Cut; research were exhibited at Post Museum gallery in May 2009 and The Substation art centre, Singapore November 2009 respectively. Both received considerable local and international press attention. These exhibitions comprise outputs from an RGB startup grant. Outputs were nominated for the Asia Pacific Signature Art Prize organized by the Singapore Art Museum in July of 2011
Stage three of research process involves the awarding of a Tier 1 Grant (March 2010) for "The Secret Lives of Forest Products -- Tracing "memories" of Southeast Asian forest products in time & space". This is an interdisciplinary investigation combining contemporary art, biology and DNA timber tracking technology in collaboration with Double Helix Tracking Technologies, where Lucy is currently Artist in Residence. [doublehelixtracking.net] Lucy is PI on this project. Co-PI's and collaborators are Shannon Castleman (ADM), Shankar Iyerh (Double Helix Tracking Technologies), Shawn Lum (NSSE NIE, President of Nature Society of Singapore) and Dr Andrew Lowe. Chair Plant Biology, University of Adelaide.
* Outputs from this Tier 1 grant were Finalists for the French Prix COAL Art & Ecology Prize 2011--the very first year of the grant.
* An animated film from this grant Jalan Jati (Teak Road) won Promotion Award for the International Competition, Oberhausen Short Film Festival, Germany 2012.
* The film will also be screened at Explora Museum New Mexico as part of ISEA International Symposium of Electonic Arts MACHINE WILDERNESS September 2012 USA.
in 2012 Lucy was awarded a second Tier 1 Grant for research into relations between humans and birds in Tanglin Halt--along the former KTM railway line in Singapore. The project comprises an interdisciplinary science, sociology, new media, cinema. visual art and theatre approach to the nurturing of urban heritage and ecology. Co-PI's are Shawn Lum (NSSE NIE, President of Nature Society of Singapore) Marijke Van Kets (Film ADM) Alvin Tan, (Artisitic Director The Necessary Stage), Daniel Goh (Sociology NUS).
Alongside the above, Lucy has also an ongoing interest and engagement in the role of public intellectuals and the position of academics and artists in civil society in Singapore/Southeast Asia.

Four authors used different methods to watch the same pitcher make the same start. These are their reviews of that pitcher's performance. In the movie Rashomon, a samurai is murdered. Four witnesses give four accounts of the murder, and out of one scenario come four very different narratives and three different killers. Do more angles get you closer to truth, or further from it? It's not clear. What follows is an experiment. Four of us took a starter that none of us knew anything about: Pedro Hernandez, a Twins lefty making his 12th career start, on Saturday against the A's. Without doing any research on Hernandez, the four of us watched the start from four different angles: October 5, 2012 5:26 am
Even if you figure out what Darvish has done, you might not know what he's about to do. Today brings baseball's first wild-card play-in games. It also brings another baseball first: Yu Darvish's first start against the Baltimore Orioles, scheduled to get underway at 8:37 PM ET. You can bet that the prospect of facing Darvish for the first time in a high-stakes game has the Orioles worked into an advanced scouting frenzy. Their season—a magical one, at that—hinges on their ability to analyze (and effectively attack) a pitcher whom their hitters have never seen. September 27, 2012 9:47 am
A new way to visualize and analyze every batter-pitcher matchup from the PITCHf/x era. Just in time for the playoffs, we're bringing you a way to get detailed information on every batter-pitcher matchup via our new Matchup Analysis Tool, found here and also accessible through the "PITCHf/x Matchups" dropdown link on the "Statistics" tab of the navbar at the top of the page. The Matchup Analysis Tool allows you to select a particular pitcher and batter and visualize every time they've faced each other during the PITCHf/x era (partial 2007, complete 2008-2012). As an example, let's take Prince Fielder vs. CC Sabathia. September 14, 2012 5:15 am
Want to know not just what pitches a pitcher throws, but where, when, and in what order he throws them? Now you can. At Brooks Baseball, we've built a repository where you can access almost any information about any pitcher's pitches and be confident that the pitch types were identified correctly. For example, you can ask how many times batters swung and missed at a Stephen Strasburg changeup, how often batters hit Chris Sale's slider for a groundball, or what the overall called-strike rate is for Felix Hernandez's fastball. But PITCHf/x databasing is still in its infancy. Pitching is not the sum of individual statistics about individual pitches any more than a piece of music is the sum of an individual set of notes. Pitching is a sequence of events—the previous pitch's execution may be as germane to the outcome of the at-bat as the current pitch's execution. We often hear about how a pitcher might go up in the zone with a high fastball to raise a batter's eye level and then down in the zone with a curveball. None of that was captured in the maze of tables and charts already available. August 30, 2012 5:59 am
Was Stephen Strasburg's velocity loss during his last start atypical? And if so, should we be worried? ESPN Stats and Information published an article about Stephen Strasburg's less-than-successful start on Tuesday that noted, "Strasburg's velocity declined as his start went on. His heater averaged 96.6 MPH in the first two innings and 94.8 MPH after. " August 17, 2012 1:30 pm
Clay Buchholz is known for throwing a nasty changeup, but he's added a new off-speed pitch to his arsenal in 2012. Clay Buchholz has added a splitter this year to go with his well-known (and devastating) changeup. We first noticed this back when he was throwing one or two per game, but now it's not unusual to see him throw a nice cluster of splitters in each start. A comparison between his pre-splitter and post-splitter pitch graphs is shown below: August 14, 2012 5:00 am
Josh Beckett isn't the ace he was in 2007, but what about him has changed over the past five seasons? In 2007, Josh Beckett finished second in the AL Cy Young voting. He led the league with 20 wins. He was a 4.8 PWARP player, good for third in MLB. He struck out 8.7 batters per nine innings and finished with 194 punchouts. Fast forward to 2012. Beckett's win-loss record is 5-9; more importantly, his walk rate is up, and his strikeout rate is down. He's been worth 0.5 PWARP, good for 174th in baseball. August 10, 2012 11:34 am
Jered Weaver has turned himself into a lefty-killer. Dan looks at how he has changed his approach. In an article today, Sam Miller explored some of Jered Weaver's best pitches. Sam noted how Weaver's results have changed vs. left-handed hitters, and then showed some of Weaver's best two-seam fastballs and curveballs from his recent start. August 9, 2012 12:02 pm
Yu Darvish is taking a different approach with two strikes than he did toward the start of the season. One way to look at how a pitcher attacks hitters is to look at what the pitcher throws in two-strike counts. In two-strike counts, pitchers often try to put hitters away with a breaking ball, induce weak contact with a sinker, overpower hitters with an extra-hard fastball, or throw a changeup with a bit of extra screw action. August 8, 2012 5:00 am
In the inaugural PITCHf/x mailbag, Harry and Dan examine how batters and pitchers behave on 3-0 counts. Dan Brooks and Harry Pavlidis, the minds behind Brooks Baseball and the PITCHf/x Hitter and Pitcher Profiles, will be answering your statistical questions using PITCHf/x data on a regular basis at BP. To submit a question for consideration in their next mailbag, email them at firstname.lastname@example.com or cram your question into 140 characters and send it to @brooksbaseball or @harrypav.

Our new normalization option lets you compare hitters and pitchers to players of the same handedness. First, thanks for your enormous level of support and feedback for our new Hitter and Pitcher Profiles. Because of your suggestions, we increased the number of sortable statistics to 19, added several new color schemes, changed some of the layout, and added several new multi-sort options. Your feedback makes building new and great tools easier, so thanks! We want to announce a new option on our tools and briefly describe how it works. This option is "normalization," which allows you to compare a pitcher or hitter to other similar pitchers or hitters. It works only for a few of the 19 sorts right now—it will work for all of them eventually—but we think that the most instructive sort is "frequency," so we'll describe it using that and let you play around with it. We've already done some limited "beta testing" of this new feature via Twitter, and people found it really fun and informative, so we're excited to announce it on Baseball Prospectus. (As an aside, Harry and I often beta new features late at night on Twitter, so you can come follow us and be part of the creative process if you want.)

Very good soup. I've never made a chicken soup with cream of chicken in it. It added a stronger flavor. I think next time I would add another can of chicken broth just for more liquid. I really enjoyed it, it was quick and easy. I would make it again.

An employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is a qualified retirement plan that is funded primarily with employer stock. Ideal for mid- to large-sized corporations with stock available for purchase.
ESOPs allow participants to become part owner of your company, serving as incentive to keep profits healthy. ESOPs also serve as a method of corporate finance, because the sponsor can borrow money to purchase stock. Plans are especially suited to finance acquisitions and capital projects and to make current debt service 100% tax-deductible.
ESOPs provide employees a sense of ownership and purpose. When used as executive compensation, ESOPs allow your high-value employees to maximize their earnings by deferring their compensation until they retire or leave your organization.

Make no mistake; every NFL team would love to have a Darrelle Revis. Not every team would be willing to take a risk on his knee and pay him what he demands, but every team would love to have his consistent production. Revis is still the prototypical cornerback that everyone wants because he does everything well and can shadow and shut down No. 1 receivers.
When looking at the 2013 rookie class, only one has the chance to be the next Revis, and it isn't the player that replaced him in New York. The next Revis is actually University of Houston cornerback D.J. Hayden.
In what was a one of the biggest surprises of the draft, the Oakland Raiders traded down from No. 3 to No. 12, didn't draft University of Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd and selected Hayden. The Raiders were even willing to take Hayden at No. 3 if no trade had materialized.
Drafting Hayden that early only makes sense if he can be the next Revis.

Getting Animated Over The Avengers
Onscreen chemistry was not only important to Joss Whedon for his vision of The Avengers (including well-placed humor to lighten the load) but also getting the Hulk just right because he's the wild card. It turns out the third time's the charm for the Big Guy in this Marvel extravaganza. In addition, Whedon wanted a few tweaks for Iron Man as well considering he's the lead superhero.
ILM, if you recall, previously worked on Ang Lee's Hulk, but this was a far less cartoony rendering, according to Jeff White, ILM's visual effects supervisor. "We really wanted to utilize everything we've developed the last 10 years and make it a pretty spectacular Hulk," White suggests. "One of the great design decisions was to incorporate Mark Ruffalo into the look of him. So much of Hulk is based on Ruffalo and his performance, not only in motion capture and on set but down to his eyes, his teeth, and his tongue. We collected a huge amount of data and, thankfully, Mark is just the most agreeable person for the series of trials we put him through. We did many different types of image capture and he did a life cast of his head, hands and feet for us. Every pore and every blemish came from Mark, even his fingerprints. It was great not having to make everything up.
Whedon talked a lot about anger and rage at the beginning of the project and what they mean. Ruffalo took inspiration from The Incredible Hulk TV series, which he watched with his son. "Poppa, he's so misunderstood," Ruffalo's son observed.
"There's a moment when [Bruce Banner] consciously makes the decision to transform into the Hulk. There's something really powerful about that," White adds. "Our Hulk not only looks really good around the eyes but also has body hair, arm pit hair, nose hair. We knew we were going to have a lot of close-ups, and so it had to be more than just CG skin. We added beard stubble and salt and pepper graying around the temples to match Ruffalo."
The other quality that Whedon wanted to emphasize was a wrestler physique and vibe. Yet the Hulk has his soft spots, too. He's actually got a bulge around the waist. White calculated a rough body mass of 1,000-1,600 pounds. But when the Hulk gets angry there was lots of room to pop the muscles and veins and see all of that flexing happening.
Also key was making the Hulk a lot less saturated. "It's a more believable skin tone green," White says. "We kept pulling back on the saturation because he would come out of the box very vibrant. He's got to stand next to the other Avengers and look natural."
Indeed, the animators got the mass right along with his facial expression. "You're working in Maya in very low-res and he's got a huge brow and bushy eyebrows," White continues. "But his expressions were lost when we rendered it because the brow would cast a lot of shadow over the eyes. Just a few pixels up or down of the eyelid made such a difference if he felt angry or surprised. There were many rounds making sure the performance came through during rendering and compositing.
"The Hulk was built with our first procedural shading project in which the TDs had control of the skin qualities in different areas and we had the ability to dial up or down dust or scorch levels per shot to alter the look depending on the [mayhem]. Also, when we first started lighting him we took a traditional approach for us with a lot of rim lighting and contrast, especially in New York City. But he stood out above the other Avengers too much, so he wound up flattening out his lighting. We worked with the shadowed, top-lit look and added lots of kicks and rims on him. One of the trickiest aspects was dialing in the sweat level. We wanted him to feel sweaty but not plastic. We utilized beaded sweat (with a lot of breakup) rather than the broader sheens to stay away from the plastic look. The jumping and crashing and environment interaction needed to be believable."

RE: RE: land sale
I stay in Thailand one month every year. why?? Because I do not think it is worth to pay for extra visa, I will never marry a Thai woman and I will never want buy land. I am here to enjoy whatever Thais want tourists to enjoy. Many people I met here have troubled time selling their properties. And most of houses here are in very very poor shape.
Overall, we are not Thai, we can not tell them what to do. There are plenty of of smart, educated Thais but unfortunately selfish can govern this country.

Bangkok's apartment market booming
(dpa) - Apartments in central Bangkok are enjoying 90 per cent occupancy rates, driven by strong demand from expats whose numbers continue to rise each year, a Jones Lang LaSalle property study revealed on Tuesday.
"An increasing number of expats has continued to sustain healthy performance in the apartment sector despite higher competition with condominiums for rent," said Dan Tantisunthorn, Head of Research at Jones Lang LaSalle - an international real estate consultant.
Although it is difficult to estimate the exact number of expats living in Bangkok, those who have been granted work permits by the government continue to rise on an annual basis.
The number of expats working legally in the capital rose from 47,107 at the end of 2004 to 54,607 at the end of 2005, up 16 per cent, and jumped another 5 per cent to 57,343 by mid-year 2006, according to Jones Lang LaSalle.
Many more expats are known to live in Thailand's capital without work permits, leaving the country every 90 days to renew their tourist visas. The government is mulling tightening regulations on tourist visas to crack down on these illegal residents.
According to Jones Lang LaSalle's study, 2006 will see a total of 34 new condominium projects with more than 7,600 units completed in central Bangkok, but the new space will not necessarily undermine the apartment sector.
"We do not believe the apartment market will be significantly affected by competition from condominiums due to the distinct natures of the two types of developments," said Dan.
"Apartments are purpose-built for rent and thus offer features that are tailored to tenant requirements, including specific conceptual and architectural designs, unit sizes, and furnishings as well as tenant management," he noted.
RE: RE: land sale
I never done any visa runs either.
As you, I come to TL to enjoy what this country has to offer to tourists. Then after 30 days is up, so I leave.
I do not understand why some farangs want to settle down in TL. Or want to marry Thais, or want to own a piece of property or
build a house. Doing all these while fully know that they are not welcomed to own anything in this country.
Now the Thai gov't. is tightened VOA. How those poor soul farangs going to do ?
The Sky is limited.
RE: RE: land sale
well it might stop all the rubbish. lol
and another thing the reason a lot of brits want to own land and build on it is we might just love your country more than the uk. and as for the people in thailand i just love them.
and as for me i dont want to tell anybody how to run there country or try to change things. i just want to fit in and get on with my friends that i have made. so not all brits are that bad. but i find the yanks are are the worst for taking over sorry buts thats how i feel. kind regards

Whether he's serving up the Tuna Poki appetizer or the signature Toreado roll, Ramirez knows his raw fish and crustaceans. Want to find out if the freshwater unagi eel is fresh or how salmon caviar differs from masago? Ramirez is like a marine biologist with a license to serve sake. Just remember to tip him well.

The physical examination includes assessment of body mass index, blood pressure, and central muscle tone. Examine the nose for septal deviation; nasal polyps; and size, shape, and patency of the nares. Examine the midface for retrusion/hypoplasia and the mouth for evidence of crossbite, overjet, overbite, or underbite. Note the size of the tonsils and the Mallampati classification (Figure), the symmetry of the soft palate, and any evidence of inflammation of the soft palate and uvula. Check the mandible for retrognathia, and measure the neck circumference. Note whether acanthosis nigricans is evident, and assess for scoliosis. Identify any signs of right-sided heart failure.
Although lateral neck films are sometimes used to assess for adenoidal hypertrophy, remember that a lateral neck film that is obtained in an awake child in the upright position may underrepresent dynamic changes that occur in the upper airway while the child is in supine REM sleep.23 Also keep in mind that in contrast to the tonsils, adenoids can grow back after removal. Consider the possibility of adenoidal regrowth when treating a child with symptoms of OSA who has had his or her adenoids removed; a second adenoidectomy, with or without tonsillectomy, may be sufficient to treat the OSA.
The current gold standard for determining whether a child has OSA is attended polysomnography (PSG). In PSG, defined physiological parameters (electroencephalogram, ECG, electromyogram, eye movements, pulse oximetry, end-tidal carbon dioxide levels, air flow, respiratory effort) are monitored while the child sleeps in a controlled environment under the supervision of a sleep technologist.24
Figure – The Mallampati classification is a rough estimate of the size of the tongue relative to the size of the oral cavity.
Whether every child with symptoms of sleep disordered breathing needs to undergo a diagnostic PSG before initiation of treatment (adenotonsillectomy in most cases) is still an open question.25-27 PSG is very useful in determining the severity of OSA and in guiding perioperative care. However, distinctions between abnormal and normal results are still not well defined. In fact, one study found that the behavior of children referred for adenotonsillectomy because of clinical symptoms of OSA improved irrespective of the findings on PSG19; these results suggest that relying solely on PSG to decide whether to proceed to adenotonsillectomy in otherwise healthy children who snore and who have enlarged adenoids and tonsils may lead to undertreatment of OSA. Because of the lack of clear PSG criteria for the diagnosis of OSA, many clinicians rely on the clinical history and physical examination. A recent survey revealed that fewer than 10% of pediatric otolaryngologists ordered PSG for children with suspected OSA before proceeding to adenotonsillectomy, and over 60% stated that they would perform adenotonsillectomy in a child with clinical symptoms of OSA regardless of the findings on PSG.28
Pharmacotherapy and positional therapy for mild OSA. In children with mild OSA, both nasal corticosteroids and montelukast(Drug information on montelukast) have been shown to reduce symptoms and the degree of obstruction, although they are not considered to be as effective as adenotonsillectomy.29,30 Elimination of other secondary causes of soft tissue inflammation (such as exposure to environmental tobacco smoke) and treatment of allergies and gastroesophageal reflux disease can also significantly reduce the degree of obstruction. Positional treatments can be effective as well. For example, if obstruction is seen only while the child is in the supine position, a wedge—or a T-shirt with a tennis ball sewn into the pocket and worn backwards—can be used to keep the child out of that position. Similarly, in some children, especially those with central hypotonia and a restrictive lung disease, sleeping with the head of the bed elevated is often the only intervention required to control obstruction.

After missing the previous five games with a strained quad muscle, Real Salt Lake's all-time leading scored found the back of the net off a header thanks to a magificent crossing pass from Ned Grabavoy in the 78th minute to give RSL a 1-0 lead.
But only six minutes later, off a throw-in, Austin Berry headed a pass to Quincy Amariwka, who scored on an acrobatic move that beat Nick Rimando for the equalizer.
It was a point stolen for the Fire, who were on the back foot most of the night and were in the game largely thanks to the heroics of goalkeeper Sean Johnson, who finished the first half with four saves – several of the spectacular variety.
"It was a situation where I feel like we dominated the game," said defender Nat Borchers. "We had the lion's share of possession and we had a lot of chances, and to give up a goal in a set piece like that is disappointing."
"I'm proud of the way the guy's played," said head coach Jason Kreis. "I thought we were the better team by far, and I think it's really discouraging when you give up a goal off a throw-in."
With Johnson and Nick Rimando in net – two US national team goalkeepers – goals were always going to be at a premium. So it was extra painful for Robbie Findley when he blew a golden chance in the 50th minute. Joao Plata put a ball to the middle from the left wing with Findley alone at the top of the six-yard box, but he put his header just wide.
Johnson also stopped great scoring opportunities by Chris Wingert and Tony Beltran.
"We had so many chances," said midfielder Sebastian Velasquez. "We were passing the ball well and had tons of opportunities. I think it feels like a loss. Every time we play at Rio Tinto, we want three points. This is our home, so I think we are all disappointed."
RSL nearly went ahead in the 76th minute when a Javier Morales free kick from 22 yards beat the wall, but Johnson turned it into perhaps his most eye-popping save of the night, pushing it off the underside of the crossbar and out.
"It's frustrating," said Grabavoy. "I just think on a different night, it's not a one goal game. We've been in games like this, we know what it takes, and we have to close that game out."
Playing its first of four straight MLS home games, RSL goes to 6-5-3 on the season. Real next host the Atlanta Silverbacks in a US Open Cup match on Tuesday before returning to MLS action June 1st against the San Jose Earthquakes. That game will be televised by ABC4 beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Purcell: The Complete Anthems and Services, Vol. 11
Archive Service; also available on CDS44141/51
Download currently discounted
Purcell: The Complete Sacred Music
11CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
Praise the Lord is a fine anthem which begins with another of Purcells excellent Symphonies (scored only for two violins and continuo there is no viola line). The opening is wistful, with the violins desolate lines underpinned by a bass line which descends to the richest reaches of the bass violins. The second, triple-time section dances in lighter vein, but behind the surface jollity is still the melancholy which permeates so much of Purcells best writing. The opening vocal section is yet another tour de force written, presumably, for the bass John Gostling. Purcells setting of a colourful text from the Psalms proclaims Gods majesty, testing the furthest extremes of Gostlings voice in splendidly characterful writing. After a short instrumental ritornello a second, high tenor, voice enters and joins the bass in more gentle writing for He bringeth forth grass for the cattle: for the wine that maketh glad the heart of man Purcells music becomes more lively and syncopated. The continuo line for the tenor solo He appointed the moon for certain seasons is an intriguing four-bar, constantly modulating ostinato over which the singer weaves an elegant line.
The mid-point of the anthem, O Lord, how manifold are thy works, is hushed and reverent, set first for the soloists and then repeated by the choir, after which the opening Symphony is repeated again. The two soloists return at The earth is full of thy riches and a short instrumental ritornello leads to the remarkable When thou hidest thy face they are troubled: Purcells setting of when thou takest away their breath they die is wonderfully poised. Once again the lilting triple metre returns, broken by the stately The glorious majesty of the Lord shall endure for ever before the choir return with their awestruck praise of Gods works.

Hazel Scott's Lifetime of High Notes
She began her career as a musical prodigy and ended up breaking down racial barriers in the recording and film industries
- By Karen Chilton
- Smithsonian.com, October 16, 2009, Subscribe
She was called the "Darling of Café Society" back in 1939 when New York City was alive with the sounds of swing. A sexy siren sitting bare-shouldered at the piano, Hazel Scott captivated audiences with her renditions of classical masterpieces by Chopin, Bach and Rachmaninoff. Nightly, crowds would gather at Café Society, New York's first fully integrated nightclub, the epicenter of jazz and politics nestled in Greenwich Village, to hear the nineteen-year-old bronze beauty transform "Valse in D-Flat Major", "Two Part Invention in A-Minor," and "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" into highly syncopated sensations. "But where others murder the classics, Hazel Scott merely commits arson," wrote TIME magazine. "Strange notes creep in, the melody is tortured with hints of boogie-woogie, until finally, happily, Hazel Scott surrenders to her worse nature and beats the keyboard into a rack of bones."
Born in Port of Spain, Trinidad on June 11, 1920, Hazel Dorothy Scott was the only child of R. Thomas Scott, a West African scholar from Liverpool, England and Alma Long Scott, a classically-trained pianist and music teacher. A precocious child who discovered the piano at the age of 3, Hazel surprised everyone with her ability to play by ear. When she would scream with displeasure after one of Alma's students hit a wrong note, no one in the household recognized the sensitive ear she possessed. "They had been amused, but no one regarded my urge as latent talent," she recalled. Until one day, young Hazel made her way to the piano and began tapping out the church hymn, "Gentle Jesus", a tune her grandmother Margaret sang to her daily at nap time. From that moment on, Alma shifted her focus from her own dreams of becoming a concert pianist, and dedicated herself to cultivating her daughter's natural gift. They were a tight knit pair, sharing an extremely close bond throughout their lives. "She was the single biggest influence in my life," Hazel said. Her father, on the other hand, would soon leave the family and have a very small presence in his daughter's life.
Following the breakup of the Scott's marriage, the three of them—mother, daughter and grandmother—would migrate to the States in search of greater opportunity for themselves and the gifted young pianist. In 1924, they headed to New York and landed in Harlem, where Alma took a job as a domestic maid.
She struggled, however, and returned to what she knew best—music. She taught herself the saxophone, and eventually joined Lil Hardin Armstrong's orchestra in the early 1930s. Alma's associations with well-known musicians made the Scott household "a mecca for musicians," according to Hazel, who benefited from the guidance and tutelage of jazz greats Art Tatum, Lester Young and Fats Waller, all of whom she considered to be like family.
In 1928, Hazel auditioned for enrollment in the prestigious Juilliard School of Music. She was only eight-years-old, and too young for standard enrollment (students had to be at least 16), but because of some influential nudging by wealthy family friends and Alma's sheer determination, Hazel was given a chance. Her performance of Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C-Sharp Minor" made a strong impression on staff professor Oscar Wagner. He proclaimed the child "a genius," and with the permission of the school's director, Walter Damrosch, offered her a special scholarship where he would teach her privately.
Career progress was swift. A spirited young woman with an outward demeanor that was effervescent and engaging, Hazel's life was not that of an ordinary teenager. While still in high school, Hazel hosted her own radio show on WOR after winning a local competition, and performed gigs at night. At times, she felt burdened by the demands of her talent, admitting, "There were times when I thought that I just couldn't go on." Still, she managed to graduate with honors from Wadleigh High. Not long after, she made her Broadway debut in the musical revue Sing Out the News. Commercial recordings of her "Bach to Boogie" repertoire on the Signature and Decca labels would break sales records nationwide.
There was little separation between Hazel's performance and her outspoken politics. She attributed it to being raised by very proud, strong-willed, independent-minded women. She was one of the first black entertainers to refuse to play before segregated audiences. Written in all her contracts was a standing clause that required forfeiture if there was a dividing line between the races. "Why would anyone come to hear me, a Negro, and refuse to sit beside someone just like me?," she asked.
By the time Hollywood came calling, Hazel had achieved such stature that she could successfully challenge the studios' treatment of black actors, demanding pay commensurate with her white counterparts, and refusing to play the subservient roles in which black actors were commonly cast. She would wear no maid uniforms or washer woman rags, and insisted that her name credit appear the same in all films: "Hazel Scott as Herself." She performed in five major motion pictures in the early '40s, including I Dood It, directed by Vincente Minelli and featuring Lena Horne and the Gershwin biopic Rhapsody in Blue. But it was the on set of The Heat's On starring Mae West that Hazel's characteristic brashness was unleashed. In a scene where she played a WAC sergeant during WWII, Hazel was angered by the costumes the black actresses were given to wear. She complained that "no woman would see her sweetheart off to war wearing a dirty apron."
Hazel promptly staged a strike that went on for three days, a battle that was finally rectified by removing the aprons from the scene altogether. The incident came at the cost of Hazel's film career, which was short-lived as result of her defiance. "I've been brash all my life, and it's gotten me into a lot of trouble. But at the same time, speaking out has sustained me and given meaning to my life," she said.
It was during these peak years of her career that Hazel began a romantic affair with the controversial Harlem preacher/politician, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. who was making a bid for the U.S Congress. Twelve years her senior, married, and a reputed womanizer, Powell pursued her unabashedly. At first, she was annoyed by his advances, but eventually irritation gave way to real interest and passion. The couple began seeing each other in secret. Amidst a great deal of scandal, the couple married in August of 1945; she was the grande vedette of Café Society and he was the first black congressman from the East Coast. "They were stars, not only in the black world but the white world. That was extraordinary," commented journalist Mike Wallace at the time.

Message to Tom Bonnit. Do you still remember people who may have been with Hazel Scott in her years at Cafe Society? My mom remembers being at Cafe Society as a young child up in the balcony. She would have been with Hazel Scott only. Any membries of a young, Black girl in the balcony while Hazel was performing?
Posted by Miriam on February 21,2010 | 01:43 AM
The caption to the video is incorrect. The opening is not Bizet's Carmen, but Liszt's Second Hungarian Rhapsody - later "modernized" into the pop song, "Put Another Nickel In, In the Nickelodian". Still, it was nice to get to hear Hazel Scott again, as I was once fortunate enough to hear her in person once.

An excellent article. Well done!
Posted by Lou Jacquet on October 30,2009 | 10:34 AM
I listened to her regularly as a teen-ager (I'm one year her senior) at Cafe Society on Sheridan Square. She was not only a superb musician but also a stunning looker. Everybody loved her. Cafe Society, whatever its political orientation of which we knew nothing and couldn't care less, was a place that treated kids well and made them feel welcome. For very little money we could see live performances of Hazel, the Golden Gate Quartet, Basie, Holiday and many others. Thanks for bringing back happy memories.
Posted by tom bonnitt on October 26,2009 | 06:21 PM
This article on Hazel Scott written by Karen Chilton is a tantalizing "trailer" for the perfect "cinematic" biography pertaining to this; world class musician, civil rights leader, performer and mother. Miss Chilton's book, which reads with the page turning ease and intrigue of a good novel, left me moved and inspired. Another "high note" to the Smithsonian for finding important stories to share.
Posted by Ken Roberson on October 25,2009 | 01:32 AM
I just purchased Ms. Chilton's book after it was highly recommended by a dear friend who attended Ms. Chilton's book reading here in New York on October 18th. I have always admired the story and work of Hazel Scott, and I can't wait to read the book! As a female jazz artist, I believe that any great book that deals with our pioneers is a must read! Your future in the arts can't be totally sustained unless you learn the legacies and history of our diverse artists of the past.
Shame on history for not recognizing the total contribution of artists like Hazel Scott, and woe to those booksellers who suggest biographies like these only to customers of color!
Posted by Carole Troll, jazz artist- New York on October 19,2009 | 03:09 PM
This is excellent. I had the pleasure of seeing her .

Research explores grandfathers' role in modern family
Exploring the important role grandparents play in a child's life will be the subject of a new study underway at the University of Newcastle.
With increasing numbers of single and working parents, the role of many grandparents has changed significantly over recent years.
Senior researcher Dr Jennifer St George, from the University's Family Action Centre, said the research would focus particularly on identifying the expectations, needs and challenges of grandfathers.
"In order to better understand how grandfathers construct their current roles and relationships, we want to explore grandparents' perceptions of fathering and grandfathering in their extended families," Dr St George said.
"The research will help us understand individual grandfathers' experiences and discover how implications such as retirement, well-being and their earlier fathering experiences impact on their current role.
"Grandparenting is receiving increasing attention in society particularly in relation to grandparents having responsibility for the full-time care of their grandchildren. The role of full-time grandparents is challenging and often lacking in acknowledgement from policy makers and service providers.
"Overall, this study will help us understand the many and varied roles grandparents play in supporting family relationships."
Researchers are currently recruiting grandparents who have some involvement in the life of a primary school-aged grandchild, from weekend visits to almost full-time care.
In two separate interviews, both the grandmother and grandfather will be asked questions by research staff about their parenting and grandparenting experiences.
Interviews will be conducted in the greater Newcastle and Taree areas.
For more information about the study or to register your interest, telephone Dr Jennifer St George on 02 4921 6690.
For interviews: Dr Jennifer St George on 02 4921 6690.
Photo opportunity: Study participants, from Newcastle and Cessnock, are available for interview/photographs upon request.

December 31, 2010 is the last day financial institutions, including Bank of Ann Arbor, are allowed to accept Federal Tax Deposit (also known as TT&L or IRS Form 8109) coupons. Businesses are now required to pay those taxes electronically, beginning January 1, 2011. To make a payment or learn more, please visit www.eftps.gov/eftps.
In late October 2010, EFTPS planned to pre-enroll all businesses that have used a coupon for any tax type on the coupon in the past 18 months.
Businesses will receive a personal identification number (PIN) in the mail. Then, they can enter their banking account information using the EFTPS VRS (voice response system), and begin scheduling payments that day via the VRS or www.eftps.gov. (They will need to call an automated line for a password, but that takes just seconds). The packet will include a letter from the IRS stating the intent to stop coupon processing on December 31, 2010.
If your business did not receive a packet, you'll want to enroll now as it takes approximately seven days to receive a PIN from EFTPS. Enroll at www.eftps.gov.
