Marian McPartland, R.I.P., 1918-2013
Marian McPartland died last night. She had been off the scene for a few years, but in March when I spoke with her friend Huey, the filmmaker who directed the McPartland documentary In Good Time: The Piano Jazz of Marian McPartland, he said she was in good spirits and thoroughly enjoyed her 95th birthday party.
NPR paid tribute to Marian in this report in today's Morning Edition, which included an interview with her biographer Paul de Barros, author of Shall We Play That One Together? The Life and Art of Jazz Piano Legend Marian McPartland. The New York Times posted this obituary on its website this morning.
Here's the blog I posted last year when we screened the McPartland documentary in the Jazz a la Mode Film Series at Amherst Cinema. Given its subject, it's no surprise that it continues to be among the most highly read blogs on the NEPR website. Feel free to drop your own comment about this grand and singular lady of jazz.
Originally posted 03/27/2012
Duke Ellington's greatest asset may have been his skill as a listener. He famously recruited a wide array of musicians and coaxed from them the individual sounds that he prized as theirs alone, then stylized them to his own ends as a composer and bandleader. Ellingtonians were as tight-lipped as the Maestro about his methods, so we know very little about what Duke actually said to inspire Johnny Hodges and Lawrence Brown and Paul Gonsalves. But it's long been known that he offered Marian McPartland an incisive appraisal of her piano playing when he first heard her in the early '50's at the Hickory House, Ellington's favorite New York steakhouse. "You play so many notes," was Duke's brief assessment, and as McPartland acknowledges in the documentary In Good Time: The Piano Jazz of Marian McPartland, he was right. In the de Barros biography, she says, "I thought about it and after awhile I thought, 'He probably is telling me I play too many [notes]. It was one of the best criticisms I ever had."
To the pianist's credit, she took Ellington's "charming" advice and developed a manner of keyboard playing that takes its time and breathes in all the right places. The same can be said for the film that producer/director Huey has created about the 94-year-old native of Windsor, England. The documentary runs eighty-six minutes, which gives it enough time to convey something of the sweep of McPartland's life from her girlhood in a "conservative, upper-middle-class" home to her decade-long engagement at the Hickory and the 33 years she spent as host of NPR's Piano Jazz. As Huey explained last night at Amherst Cinema, much of the film was shot during production segments of Piano Jazz, so the sound is exceptionally clear and resonant.
McPartland was a child prodigy, but she met strong parental objections over her interest in a career in music. In the face of her mother's charge that she was "pigheaded" and other "harassments" that took McPartland years to "grow out of," she persevered, first playing the English Music Hall circuit, then with the outbreak of World War II, she volunteered for ENSA, the English equivalent of the USO. By 1944, as she told Whitney Balliett for his New Yorker profile of her, "The Key of D Is Daffodil Yellow," she "switched to the USO which paid better and which meant working with the Americans! Boy, the Americans!"
One of "the Americans!" was trumpeter Jimmy McPartland, a Chicago-bred live wire who succeeded Bix Beiderbecke in the Wolverine Orchestra in 1927, and went on to a long career playing traditional jazz at Eddie Condon's and the Metropole in New York. (Replacing Bix, perhaps the most prestigious job for a white jazz trumpeter in the '20's, isn't mentioned in the film, but we do learn that Jimmy listened to his own recording Shades of Bix on his deathbed.) Snapshots and home movies give vivid evidence of the outsized McPartland wooing the introverted Margaret Marian Turner as they played for the troops in Belgium and France. As Jimmy told Balliett, "She tried to act real GI, but I could see she was a fine, well-bred person and not a juvenile delinquent like me." After a whirlwind six-week courtship, they married just back of the front lines with no way of notifying her family of the wedding, but once she brought him home, McPartland charmed her parents by making her mother laugh and taking her father to the movies.
Moving to Chicago after the war, Marian followed Jimmy for several years from gig to gig and bender to bender before she made her own way to New York in the early '50's and became established with her trio, a group that coalesced around bassist Bill Crow and drummer Joe Morello. Still, the family back home remained disapproving, and she told Balliett that her benighted maternal uncle, Sir Cyril, "came over when I was working at the Hickory House and [was] shocked and mystified by the whole scene. Uncle Cyril took me aside between sets at the club and said, 'Does your father know what you're doing'?"
Little of these dilemmas, whether familial or marital, is explored in Huey's documentary. There are slight hints, but it's nearly over before viewers learn that the McPartland's divorced in the '60's, and it's in Balliett's profile where we learn that Marian spent six years seeing a psychiatrist who "indirectly precipitated a lot of things." The end of the marriage apparently motivated Jimmy to quit drinking, and spurred Marian to become "twice as productive." Eventually they came back together again as the best of friends, for as Jimmy put it, "the divorce was a failure."
(McPartland, Mary Lou Williams, Thelonious Monk)
Whatever In Good Times fails to convey of the stormier elements of Marian's life, it makes up for with her music, her stiff-upper-lip spunk, and the testimonials of numerous eloquent and sympathetic musicians, most of which carry powerfully affecting assertions about McPartland's character and achievements. Chief among these is vocalist Nnenna Freelon, who says that while she's sure Marian survived many undisclosed hard knocks as a female musician, she's a model of a woman who, "like a river," flows around obstacles and keeps on moving. Freelon is also seen with McPartland at Tanglewood performing an "Amazing Grace" that's as moving as any I've heard. Its placement in the film, like that of most of the extensive music clips, is perfectly timed.
Jeremy Pelt hails McPartland as one of the living masters whom young musicians need to know; Renee Rosnes elicits a few wisecracks from the lady, who notwithstanding her background and present status as a member of the Order of the British Empire, is capable of swearing like a "docker." Diana Krall tells a sweet story about phoning Marian out of the blue when she was an unknown in her teens, and getting a return call. The only miscast participant is Krall's husband Elvis Costello, who carries on a lively conversation with his fellow British subject, but who betrays the standards of jazz with a terribly off-pitch, over-dramatized effort at singing "Our Love Is Here to Stay." He should really stick to "Watching the Detectives." His presence here and in other jazz settings like the Mingus Orchestra leaves me with an unsettling feeling that jazz is desperate for whatever sense of validation pop stars like Costello might confer on it. He must add luster to the marketing of a film like this, but his singing should have been left on the cutting room floor. (Lest you think I'm a jazz snob, let me assure you that I've shelled out long green to see Costello in concert, and number "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding" among my favorite rock tunes.)
Anyone familiar with Piano Jazz knows how truly gifted McPartland is as an improviser. But seeing her on camera with Dave Brubeck, Mulgrew Miller, Rosnes, and school kids galore adds a new level of appreciation to this aspect of her art. Perhaps it was her outsider status as an Englishwoman striving for mastery of the American idiom that made her a quick study of other players, but her skill at distilling the essence of another's style and creating a spontaneous piece that captures them so fully strikes me as an aspect of genius. I'd never felt so profoundly appreciative of Marian until I saw In Good Time, and I trust you will too.
Rest in Peace, Margaret Marian Turner McPartland.

Dear Tom
i couldn't agree more; she is truly a genius.

Note to editor: I neglected to provide my name and address at the end of the anecdote about a performance by Ms. McPartland in Mount Kisco, NY.
Don Zuckerman
Northampton, MA
Marian McPartland
Over 30 years ago my son Ethan, then 9 years old, and I had the good fortune to meet Marian McPartland when she was giving a solo performance in Mount Kisco, New York. The hall in which she was to play was unduly cold, and when we approached her, Ms. McPartland was engaged in stretching out her fingers, one at a time, in an effort to get comfortable at the piano. While it was clear to all that she was none too happy with the chill in the room, and consequently with the sponsor of the event, we were courageous enough to approach her, and as we began to talk, we found her to be utterly charming. Ethan having told her he was taking piano lessons, she asked what piece he was then learning. When he replied, "Rhapsody in Blue," and said that he was having difficulty with it, she graciously replied, "You know, I've been playing it for quite a while, and I still haven't figured it out."
Marian McPartland
Similar to Dave Brubeck's passing, where he was more celebrated for Morello's Take Five than the great pianist he truly was, she's known more for her role as a great radio entertainer with the Piano Jazz series and in effect, educator to the masses, than she was a monster pianist. The fact that she could do that series and continually harmonize with whomever she was with on a given session underscores her immense talent as a Jazz pianist. Beyond that, she provided many an enjoyable listen through her consummate approach to standards, interpretations and originals, solo, trio or otherwise. I do shed a tear here..........................RIP
Pierre Beaulieu
marian r.i.p.
As always, beautifully-written and insightful. Thank you, Tom.
Only a few jazz performers
Only a few jazz performers became household names and are still plying their wares in the 21st century. That number is now further diminished. A class act, she will be missed.

With a comprehensive approach to security, scalable deployment and management options, and a powerful platform for apps, you've got everything you need to deploy iOS devices in virtually every business environment so your workforce can be more productive than ever.
See what's new for business in iOS 7iOS is built with comprehensive security features that protect both corporate data and personal information. By securing all data, iOS raises the level of protection across the device — so everyone benefits. Low-level hardware and firmware features protect against malware and viruses, while high-level OS features allow secure access to information, prevent unauthorized use, and help thwart attacks.
Protection without compromise.
Layers of protection in iOS provide a high level of security while ensuring a high-quality user experience. Many security features are enabled by default, so they require no configuration. Others are established and managed easily, to fit seamlessly into your organization without added complexity for users. AES 256-bit hardware encryption is always on. Data protection is enabled automatically, as soon as a device passcode is configured. And Touch ID is a convenient and fast way for users to unlock their iPhone 5s, making security truly effortless.
Learn more about iOS security features
Managing iOS apps and accounts using a mobile device management (MDM) solution helps IT manage corporate information, without interfering with personal data. Open in management, enterprise single sign on, and per app VPN features keep work email and documents safe in a way that's invisible to users. For example, to edit a confidential mail attachment, a user is presented only with IT-approved apps to open the document. When the app is selected and launched, the user is seamlessly authenticated and a VPN connection is created that secures network traffic just for that app.
Intelligent control. Freedom to work.
The same features that keep corporate data in the right place also work to keep personal data from being seen or managed by an employer. IT can keep corporate data in corporate-managed apps without requiring users to make complex decisions about work containers or isolated workspaces. With fine-grain control that iOS provides behind the scenes, IT can closely manage corporate data while employees can focus on getting their work done.
iOS provides all the tools and technologies you need to control every aspect of iPhone and iPad — from enrolling devices for use on your corporate network, to configuring settings and managing corporate data, to deploying and managing apps.
Powerful. Flexible. Unobtrusive.
Thanks to iOS and built-in frameworks for third-party MDM solutions, IT can manage large deployments of iOS devices with ease and efficiency. Users can take advantage of corporate-provided apps and content without crippling the device with needless restrictions.
IT can also use MDM to orchestrate a range of activities beyond basic setup and configuration — including querying for settings and other configuration information, establishing security policies, and blocking or wiping devices that are out of compliance or lost. Learn more about managing iOS devices with MDM
iOS makes it simple for employees to set up their iPhone or iPad, right out of the box. They can activate their device, configure basic settings, enroll in corporate services like Microsoft Exchange email, and start working right away — all without requiring help from IT.
The built-in iOS setup assistant also enables users to customize their device with personal preferences like language, location, Siri, iCloud, and Find My iPhone. With iOS, your employees can tailor their devices to suit their way of working in no time.
New features in iOS 7 provide even more security if an iOS device is lost or stolen. Turning off Find My iPhone or erasing a device requires an Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message after a device is erased. And an Apple ID and password are required before anyone else can reactivate the device.
Hands-free configuration for IT.
From ten devices to ten thousand, corporate-owned or BYOD, deploying iPhone and iPad in your organization can be a zero-touch effort for IT. With an MDM solution in place, users can enroll themselves by simply visiting a website on their iOS device and tapping once to accept the MDM installation profile. Once the device is enrolled, account settings, apps, and corporate policies are installed over the air. No further setup is required. Users can opt in or out of corporate services at any time, and MDM provides disclosure to users about what's being configured and what IT is allowed to control.
Rapid delivery of content.
Once devices are deployed, additional apps and content can be provided through a self-service portal or delivered directly to users via MDM. iOS updates, apps, and content can also be cached locally, using Caching Server 2 in OS X Mavericks Server. This speeds up the download and delivery of content over your corporate network.

Any 3.5-4.0 interested in a match Sunday morning in Carrollton or W.Plano?
I am looking to play at Woodlake Park or Martha Pointer Park today in Carrollton (Scott Mill & Frankford). I'm a beginner. Looking for a good fun workout today. -Daryl
Anyone interested in hitting/playing tonight 7pm, at or near J.J. Pearce High School?
Hello - Moved to Texas earlier this year and I'm looking to get back in to Tennis. I haven't played in a while. Is there anyone that would be interested in picking up a casual game 1 day a week (evenings or weekends). I'm in Carrollton off of 121 & Hebron.
I'll be playing at oak creek tennis center today at 630 if anyone would like to join. you can reach me at [edit: please share private info via PM or Friend Request]
I'd love to find a partner for drills. I'd also be extremely interested in finding a partner for men's or mixed doubles. I'm getting back to 3.5, though still on the low side - and I'm extremely close to Brookhaven, so I can play almost anytime. I'm not in the aerobic condition some of you are, but I'm a fairly aggressive player.
I need to get out and hit during the week sometime. Not necessary to play matches just work on all part of game. I'm 3.5/4.0 and live far N. Dallas (Frankford/Marsh). Several good court in the area.

If you have a bad glow plug or two, etc..., less power would be being drawn after initial key, when your glow plugs are being activated. The only way to see if you have too high of an amperage draw on your batteries when your key is off, "draining them down" would be to do a parasitic drain test. you need a meter or tool able to read amps with and amp clamp. hope this helps.

There have been some setbacks in all of this life-improvement I've been doing.
There have been things that have really discouraged me. I missed my credit card payment and was assessed a late fee. I mean, seriously. I have like, two things I am in charge of financially and I have screwed up on it two months in a row. That makes me feel pretty inept. I have just had so much going on, I forgot.
I have also had a major laundry SNAFU that caused me angst. Pretty much everything that could go wrong with this load? DID.
I had been doing laundry all day and juggling that with well, everything else. I was just burned out from the day. The kids were difficult and we had just struggled through some really complicated homework for them both. I asked them to gather their laundry and I admit that I just wanted to be DONE and wasn't paying attention. I didn't dissolve the detergent in water like I normally do, I didn't even check anything. I just threw the clothes in, scooped in detergent, pushed start and slammed the lid shut.
Problems with that?
For one, I forgot that I had just washed a load on "Small" and "Delicate" settings. And…I didn't check the stuff the kids gave me other than it was all a dark load.
So…Not only do I have a half-damp, half-dry load of laundry with clumped on, hardened detergent, but I discovered that one of the pillowcases the kids gave me was COVERED IN CAT POO. And not a small amount of cat poo, either.
THAT clean up process was just no fun. No, not at all.
I have had some really good things that have been happening, too! I feel so much more pulled together and in control. My kids and husband are happier and I am having the satisfaction of knowing that I am working hard and any "Down" or "Fun time" that I have is well earned. It makes it sweeter, somehow.
For the last few weeks I have been trying to make a daily goal of trying to tackle one area of my house and eradicate the clutter in it. The surfaces of my house are clutter magnets, especially because it's so small and there isn't a lot of storage. Also, because I am a cluttery, cluttery person. So far, I've gotten the two worst areas (My bedroom and the living room) under control. Well, actually the WORST area is my computer desk and office, but I am just not up for it right now.So…I'm happy with that.
I have also been able to keep up with dishes, laundry and general picking up. This "Clean as you go" has always been a toughie for me. I am used to being fairly lazy and then BAM!!! I clean, and clean and clean to a microscopic, scrub with bleach and a toothbrush level. To the point of exhausted burn out that takes quite a while to recover from.
I love cleaning sessions like that. It's very therapeutic. I clean when I am totally pissed off and it makes me feel better.
The kids have had some hiccups in their schooling, but due to sticktoitivness, we're back on track. I still love volunteering in the classroom, and I've been teaching them how to cook. While we usually eat together, I have been putting more effort into the meals that I serve.
It's been good.
Family time has been good.
I wish that Jonathan and I had more time together. Alone, couple time. Jon has been working a ton of hours and I've been on my own till pretty late a lot of nights. It's been ok. I have been in hermit mode so I don't mind staying at home a lot more. Besides, it isn't like I haven't seen people. I'm going to lunch with a group of Cache Valley Bloggers, so that should be fun. I am also planning on getting together with my homies sometime this weekend.
Although…Maybe I should be more concerned with my mental state after allowing "Homie" to be anywhere in my vernacular.
My next task is to find a really good shampoo and conditioner. I have thin, frizzy, slightly wavy (As in, a totally unattractive way) hair. I know that this sounds like a lame thing to worry over, but there are SO many products out there. I have a site that I love that reviews makeup, skin care, etc. (Check my sideblog) but she states that she doesn't narrow down hair products too much because there are so many good ones. I was considering Bliss Supershine Shampoo, but I'm not sure.
Any suggestions?

More specifically, has any of you managed to convince both financial support, and getting additional technical talent to support the expansion of a startup concept/prototype? If so, where and how did you manage to achieve this?
Over the years we have sat on both sides of the fence and had a lot of different offers ... all of them have been custom development for a specific niche market. Easier question (for me to answer): How to get good technical staff ...
If they are more junior staff then have a good lead and mentore that will give them enough leash to try but feel comfortable that they can reel them back in without significant project impact (I have 5 guys who can recover something fast which really helps). Convincing people to invest: Well there are a few play book answers but really its much like engaging the developer above. This is a journey, at the end of it if we get it right the rewards are going to be lots of money but along the way ...
All of this will result in a $ figure range you need for 6 months, 12 months and 2 years. You have minimum threshold you need to get to make it viable in the first place ... if they want to commit to $X then you will need another 4 investors ... if you reach the threshold then they are in. That is the basic pitch / plan they want to know, and they will ask questions around their own specific areas of interest. The other main thing you have to answer in their heads is: Why you? Why your team? what is your background. The best podcast to get a real understanding of what is required is this week in startups. I would start with some of the earlier shows which were a little more adhoc. | |||
Below is a list of the major things that investors will look for in a company they're thinking of investing in. Some investors look at up to a hundred business plans a week, and if your proposal does not include the information below, it is unlikely they will be interested. An easy-to-understand executive summary An executive summary is a summary of a business idea or business plan and is designed to give the reader a flavour as to what the project is about. The aim of the executive summary is simply to entice the reader into reading the complete business plan. A realistic business plan A business plan is a written document that describes a business, its objectives, its strategies, the market it is in and its financial forecasts. It has many functions, including enabling an entrepreneur to systematically evaluate the feasibility of his/her project, measuring success within his/her business and securing external funding. The business plan is a concise summary of information on all the important aspects of the proposed company (e.g. The Business, its Products and Services; Markets and Competitors; Marketing and Sales; Management Team; Financial Forecasts; Exit Strategy; etc.). A convincing elevator pitch When it comes to the stage of meeting the investors, you will need to have an "Elevator Pitch" prepared. This is a concise, carefully planned, and well-practiced description about your company that your mother should be able to understand that can be delivered in the time it would take to ride up an elevator. Previous years' accounts and achievable projections For the investors to make an informed decision of whether to invest in your business, they will obviously want to know how much your company is expecting to make over the next few years. You should prepare some conservative financial projections for this purpose. Previous years' accounts (if available) are also incredibly useful to back up your projections and justify your valuation of the company. An experienced and committed management team Investors will want to see a management team in place that is not only knowledgeable about the industry and product or service, but is also capable of successfully implementing the business plan and managing and controlling the company's operations. They should have a track record of having been involved with similar projects and having worked for other companies in the industry. The better team you have, the more money you will be able to attract. A sound understanding of the industry the business is in The investor will expect you to comprehensive understanding of the customer (target market), including market size, demographics, trends, pricing strategies, accessibility, growth potential, demand for products and services, and commitment to business development. A breakdown of how much money has already been invested in the business It will give the investor massive confidence if you have invested any of your own money in the venture or have obtained bank or government funding. They will also want to know what this money has been spent on and what you managed to achieve with it. A clear idea of the equity stake you're willing to give away and how much money you expect the investor to make Angel investors usually take equity in the companies they invest in. The amount of equity they take will depend on several factors, including the amount of capital required, the level of risk and the maturity of the company. For example, companies who are already profitable will have to give away less equity than a pre-sales company. A study by NESTA in 2009 estimated that 35 per cent of investments produced returns of between one times and five times of the initial investment, whilst 9 per cent produced returns of multiples of ten times or more. Because angel investing is so high risk, the investors' equity stake and estimated return on investment should reflect this. Angels are usually looking for businesses that have the potential to return at least 10 times their original investment within a 5 year period. An ability to explain how the investment will be used Investors will want to know what their money is going to be used for. They might even be able to help you reduce your start-up or expansion costs. A clear exit strategy In order to attract investment for your business, it's critical to supply an exit plan to investors so they can get their money back (hopefully with a healthy return) and exit your company. The exit strategy section of your business should also outline your long-term plans for your business. Possible exit strategies to consider: • Initial Public Offering • Merger/Acquisition • Buyout by partner in business • Franchise the business • Hand down the business to another family member | |||
There are plenty of sites now that make it easy for you to find someone. I recently was in the same boat, and I found an investor that also knew a lot about how to get in touch with technical talent as well to put our idea through to fruition. | ||||

Well, I 'escape to work' too. Just shut the door and say I'm buys. Just b/c I do it from home doesn't make it any less 'shigoto'. :)You deserve a medal being with the baby all day.

From the incomparable Gordon Skene at our sister site, Newstalgia:
I can't think of a better way to end up the year than with a special, rare, never-heard-before performance of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin (not together unfortunately, but Dino's in fine form) from the Hungarian Relief Fundraiser put on in Los Angeles on November 30, 1956.
For some reason, this recording has never been issued anywhere - the master tapes sitting on a shelf in a garage the better part of forty years before I got the call to "take the junk away".
Dean had just broken up his act with Jerry Lewis and Sinatra was going through a career change that took would take a dramatic upturn as well. If memory serves (but don't hold me to it), this predates the Ratpack by about a year.
In any event, this is a rare recording and you get to hear it first.
From all of us here at C&L, we wish you all a safe and joyous New Year's Eve and hope for the very best for 2010.
Looks like good Tweety was back today taking a whack at Dick Cheney's former aide Ron Christie along with Salon's Joan Walsh. True to form Christie defended Cheney's recent stenography session at The Politico. Ron Christie is one of the more annoying pundits out there so this didn't bother me one bit. I'll give him this as annoying as he is though. He's got more stones than his former boss since he's at least willing to come on MSNBC and defend the turd. That's more than you can say for spineless Cheney who hits you in the back with a knife and runs. But that's not anything that should be surprising from someone who got five deferments during Nam.
Transcript via Lexis Nexis.
MATTHEWS: We start, however, with the security blame game. You have to call it that. Ron Christie is a Republican strategist and former aide to Dick Cheney. We`ve got to read a statement here from the former vice president. He got up the other day, or I guess it was early today, and released this statement. And I guess he wants us to read it aloud because it`s something that he obviously put pen to paper so that we all would do just that.
This is the former vice president of the United States, Dick Cheney. Quote, "As I`ve watched the events of the past few days, it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low-key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won`t be at war.
"He seems to think if he gives the terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won`t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of 9/11 to New York, give him a lawyer and a trial in civilian court, we won`t be at war. He seems to think if we close Guantanamo and releases the hard-core al Qaeda- trained terrorists still there, we won`t be at war. He seems to think if he gets rid of the words `war on terror,` we won`t be at war.
"But we are at war, and when President Obama pretends we aren`t, it makes us less safe. Why doesn`t he want to admit we`re at war? It doesn`t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office and doesn`t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency, social transformation, the restructuring of American society. President Obama`s first object and his highest responsibility must be to defend us against an enemy that knows we are at war."
Could you, Ron Christie, as someone who has served the vice president and remains totally loyal to him, explain to us why he comes out of wherever he lives, gets to a word processor and puts all those words together to say over and over again what the president seems to think is that we`re not at war with terrorism? What does he mean by that?
RON CHRISTIE, FORMER DICK CHENEY AIDE: Well, good evening, Chris. I think the vice president`s statement speaks for itself. I think if you go back -- and I think it was very wise, the way that you started this segment, of connecting the dots. President Obama, when he was on the campaign trail, was very strong about prosecuting the war on terror. When he came in, immediately the war on terrorism vernacular disappeared from the president and his officials.
You had the secretary of homeland security saying that we`re dealing with overseas man-made contingency operations. You move forward later into the year, you had Guantanamo Bay, which President Bush also wanted to close but recognized that bringing enemy combatants and terrorists onto American soil would convey certain constitutional rights, Miranda rights, habeas corpus petitions, that would transform that from a war footing to a civilian footing.
And then you get this latest incident, Chris, where President Obama was on vacation. There was a Muslim radicalized individual who tried to blow up an American airliner on Christmas Day. The president`s response was muted. And again, he came out and said the "alleged" attempt and "the suspect."
And I think that there are people -- Dick Cheney, a number of politicians, Peter DeFazio, a Democrat from Oregon, Maureen Dowd from "The New York Times," Ruth Marcus from "The Washington Post" -- who look at President Obama`s reaction throughout the entire year and say, Is he showing the emotions, is he showing the fight and the vigor to fight a war on terrorism, rather than transform this into a civilian prosecutorial matter? I think that`s where Dick Cheney was coming from with his statement this morning.
The Rachel Maddow Show's video site summed this one up as well as I could ever hope to.
Rachel Maddow holds Dick Cheney and Republican opportunists to account for their shameless hypocrisy, distortions and outright lies in criticizing President Obama's response to the attempted bombing of Flight 253 in the face of their abject, egregious failures to deal with terrorists threats to the United States when they were in power.
She also took at whack at her cohorts in the mainstream media for whether they want to act like journalists and fact check the B.S. that's being fed to them instead of just repeating it, or do their jobs. This was truly one of Rachel's finer moments on television.
I don't expect either of the Cheney's or any of the other hacks politicizing this terrorism debate to be coming on her show any time soon. Keep giving them hell Rachel.
MADDOW: After days of essentially unanswered Republican political attacks against the Obama administration, finally, today, we got the big kahuna. The white whale of Republican politics, former Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney, involved in this.
After five days of Republicans owning the airwaves on this issue, doubling and then tripling down on politicizing this thwarted terrorist attack, with almost no opposition from the Democrats, the maestro of terror politics, Mr. Cheney, gave a statement to Politico.com today. Not decrying the terrorist incident itself, but instead using that attack as an opportunity to bash the president, to accuse the president of not keeping America safe.
Now, as is often the case in politics, when attacks from one side go unanswered for a long time, when one side gets the platform all to themselves, that side can sometimes get over-exuberant. They can overplay their hand. Republicans, left to their own devices, have in this case excitedly launched a series of obviously baseless, factually incorrect, demonstrably untrue and hypocritical attacks.
These Iranian students are really putting it on the line for their beliefs, even risking their own futures:
Behind the drama unfolding in the streets of Iran, the regime is quietly clamping down on some of the nation's best students by derailing their academic and professional careers.
On Wednesday, progovernment militia attacked and beat students at a school in northeastern Iran. Since last Sunday's massive protests nationwide, dozens of university students have been arrested as part of an aggressive policy against what are known as Iran's "star students."
In most places, being a star means ranking top of the class, but in Iran it means your name appears on a list of students considered a threat by the intelligence ministry. It also means a partial or complete ban from education.
The term comes from the fact that some students have learned of their status by seeing stars printed next to their names on test results.
Mehrnoush Karimi, a 24-year-old law-school hopeful, found out in August that she was starred. She ranked 55 on this year's national entrance exam for law schools, out of more than 70,000 test-takers. That score should have guaranteed her a seat at the school of her choice. Instead, the government told her she wouldn't be attending law school due to her "star" status.
Ms. Karimi says she thinks she got starred because she volunteered in the presidential campaign of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi last spring. She also participated in several antigovernment "Green Movement" protests that are convulsing Iran.
"They tell me, 'You are not allowed to study or work in this country any more.' Why? Because I voted for Mousavi and wore a green scarf?" says Ms.Karimi in a phone interview from the city of Isfahan, where she lives.
More than 1,000 graduate students have been blocked from higher education since the practice began in 2006, according to statements by Mostafa Moin, a former education minister, in official media in September.
Star treatment is reserved for graduate students, although undergrads also face suspension for political activity, according to student-rights activists. Several hundred undergrads have been suspended for as many as four semesters, according to student activists and human-rights groups in Iran. Under Iran's higher-education law, students are dismissed from school if they miss four terms.
(I ask you - what would New Years Eve be without ol' Blue Eyes?)
I can't think of a better way to end up the year than with a special, rare, never-heard-before performance of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin (not together unfortunately, but Dino's in fine form) from the Hungarian Relief Fundraiser put on in Los Angeles on November 30, 1956.
For some reason, this recording has never been issued anywhere - the master tapes sitting on a shelf in a garage the better part of forty years before I got the call to "take the junk away".
Dean had just broken up his act with Jerry Lewis and Sinatra was going through a career change that took would take a dramatic upturn as well. If memory serves (but don't hold me to it), this predates the Ratpack by about a year.
In any event, this is a rare recording and you get to hear it first.
Thanks to everyone for a great 2009 - especially the crew at C&L. It's all been good fun, dusting off history.
Happy New Year - try and stay sane in the meantime. Wait til 2010!
It seems that the Fox talkers who have been attacking President Obama this week for allegedly being "soft on terror" -- particularly Wayne Simmons, who sneeringly referred to Obama as 'the boy king' earlier this week -- are especially upset that two of the key leaders of Al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula, the organization claiming credit for the attempt attack on Flight 253, are men who were released from Guantanamo Bay and sent back to Yemen.
Simmons was on Fox's Your World yesterday with David Asman, and they both were appalled that these men had been freed.
Asman: You stay in touch with all your exes in the military and intelligence community. What's the morale like there, where people see prime targets being released back where they can do damage?
Simmons: It's pathetic. It's low. It's horrible. It's frustrating. It's every adjective you can think of to describe the work that these outstanding men and women in the intelligence community and in the military put into tracking these guys down and killing them or capturing them. And then end up now like maybe the SEALs do. So, a lot of men and women are questioning, just where is the leadership? Or why is there a lack of leadership? They are putting their lives on the line, grabbing these guys, only to have them turned loose again. It's pathetic.
But there was one little fact missing from the entire discussion: These two men were released by the Bush administration and returned to Yemen to participate in "art therapy."
In fact, it was none other than Dick Cheney himself -- who only the day before was similarly attacking Obama -- who secretly released the men. As Eric Massa pointed out:
"I would remind the American public that the apparent leaders of the al Qaeda cell in Yemen were 2 terrorists who were released by Vice President Cheney in secret. I think there's a level of accountability that has to be levied personally on the vice president," Massa said in an interview. "He is personally responsible for that."
Awfully optimistic, aren't they? I hope they're right:
Dec. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Fewer Americans than anticipated filed claims for unemployment benefits last week, pointing to an improvement in the labor market that will help sustain economic growth next year.
Initial jobless claims fell by 22,000 to 432,000 in the week ended Dec. 26, the lowest level since July 2008, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. The number of people receiving unemployment insurance fell in the prior week to 4.98 million, and those receiving extended benefits jumped.
Companies are retaining staff as sales improve and production picks up. Gains in consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of the economy, may encourage more hiring in coming months, helping to bolster the rebound from the worst recession since the 1930s.
"It's boding well for outright job growth," said Stephen Gallagher, chief U.S. economist at Societe Generale in New York, who forecast claims would drop to 430,000. "It seems that some of the layoffs that took place in the early part of the year were excessive."
From The Situation Room, Jonathan Turley calls out Tom Ridge's hackery from his appearance on Larry King. It was nice to see Turley point out that the term Malveaux used, enhanced interrogations -- that she tossed out there so lightly, is torture. Unfortunately we don't have enough like Turley to counter all the talking head torture-lovers like Ridge, King, Hoekstra and Cheney.
MALVEAUX: I want to go to you, to Jonathan.
Clearly, there are some prominent Republicans who are looking at the situation about Mutallab being tried in a military tribunal situation, as opposed to the federal court system. And they want a military tribunal. They want to be able to question him, perhaps enhanced interrogations.
We heard this from the former Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge on "LARRY KING." I want you to take a listen.
TOM RIDGE: I take a look at this individual who has been charged criminally, does that mean he's going to get his Miranda warnings?
Does that mean the only kind of information we want to get from him is if he volunteers it. He's not a citizen of this country. He's a terrorist, and I don't think he deserves the full range of protections of our criminal justice system embodied in the Constitution of the United States.
MALVEAUX: What do you think about his point that he's making? Are we missing vital -- perhaps vital intelligence from Abdulmutallab on whether or not there are additional attackers who are out there?
JONATHAN TURLEY: I think that's very unlikely.
First of all, supposedly, he was speaking very freely for some time after his arrest. But what we know from the past, from the Bush torture program, is that it yielded very little information. Information it did yield was known to be highly suspect.
But it's not really about the information that you get from special interrogations, which is a nice way of saying torture. It is also not about what rights he deserves. What is really the question is what rights we have to give people to maintain our credibility around the world.
That is, the way the world viewed the Bush administration was that, well, George Bush often looked almost Caesar-like, sending some people to federal courts, some people to military tribunal. Some people got no trial at all.
In this case, we had Richard Reid, who was virtually identical in his act. He went to federal court. Zacarias Moussaoui went to federal court. And I think that it's a problem if we treat a legal system as sort of improvisational, that we simply go by case by case of what we feel someone should have in terms of rights.
The credibility of a legal system is its consistency. Without consistency, it lacks coherence. And I think what Mr. Ridge is saying that, when we really don't like you or we think that we might get some information out of you, then we won't give you the rights under our system.
And that creates the type of anger and, frankly, the view of hypocrisy that the United States has faced. But I think it's very unlikely. A military tribunal doesn't -- doesn't generate intelligence. It's not a way to generate any more intelligence than a federal trial is.
With all the regular anchors out for the holiday week, Ann Coulter is gleefully stepping up to help lead the parade of right-wingers bashing President Obama for his supposedly weak response to the threat of terrorism. That's been the primary subject of every single Fox prime-time show, in fact, and not a single defender of the president could be found on any of them.
But Coulter, guesting on the Glenn Beck show, went the extra mile by resurrecting the Obama-is-a-closet-Muslim smear that was so popular during the election:
Coulter: I think if you polled Americans after 9/11, they would have said, 'Drop the political correctness when it comes to boarding airplanes.' And, um, like I say, Obama can be doing more than Bush. He is specially situated that way, as having gone to madrassas as a child. Um, not being a white male, which is the height of political incorrectness.
Ah, yes, some lies are just too good to let die a normal death:
Obama lived in Indonesia as a child, from 1967 to 1971, with his mother and stepfather and has acknowledged attending a Muslim school, but an aide said it was not a madrassa.

Mythological Occult Metal: 1991-2001 (2 Discs)
Accuse me of label whoring if you will but I think this album is getting my official recommendation as the number one most useful stocking stuffer for the metalhead in your family this holiday season. Absu tread a fine line that metal fans on both sides of the fence seem to be able to align themselves with in some fashion. Neither too grim nor too fruity, their music has a splendid absence of keyboards for the most part and at the same time never takes itself too seriously. But is it my job here to garner new fans of the band? Well, my stance is that everyone should hear Proscriptor behind the kit at least once, the guy could fight a horde of ninja robots and the resulting conflict would probably produce a pleasing drum fill with only the enemy's masked cranium to provide the desired sound. I digress, this is a collection of rarities and delights for the dedicated fan and although I would prefer that figure encompassed the entire community, in truth, it is a niche market.
Nothing new here in the literal sense but as a long time fan of the band not rabid enough to seek out every table scrap left behind after their recording sessions, there is indeed quite a bit of material here new for most people. 4 years have passed since Tara's release, I think it is safe to assume at this point Mythological Occult Metal may be the last offering from an act whose status is labeled 'on hiatus' and we all know how that scenario plays out in reality. But what does it all mean for you the consumer? Let me break it down for you in neatly bulleted Power Point style. For your hard earned shekels you will receive the following spread across two discs:
• Every 7" EP Released by the band:
o 1991's The Temples of Offal
o 1995's …And Shineth Unto the Cold Cometh…
o 2001's Hallstattian Swords
• Cover tracks written by Destruction, Iron Maiden, Mayhem, and Possessed.
• Live tracks from V.I.T.R.I.O.L. and from Third Storm of Cythraul.
• Unreleased Rehearsal recordings "Book of Splendour" and "Tasseomancy."
• An alternate version of "Stone of Destiny" from Tara.
• Last, my two favorite tracks both from rather obscure sources: "The Gold Torques of Ulaid" from the soundtrack to the film Gummo and from 1994's World Domination Compilation "Never Blow out the Eastern Candle"
The EP's alone are a superb roadmap showing the developing steps of a great band between albums. From the raging almost cliché grimness found on Temples of Offal to the discovery of a unique sound on Shineth unto the Cold and then into a slightly experimental direction with Hallstattian Swords the merits of these tracks alone make this collection worthwhile for even the modest fan. Taken as the delicious slice of chocolate cake it is, this album's left over tracks are nothing but sweet icing which allow me to label this slick little package irresistible! If you like your icing flavored with amazing cover songs like Mayhem's "Deathcrush" and "Silvester Angfang" or Possessed's "Seven Gates of Hell" then I suggest ordering a portion post haste. Incidentally, this desert comes served in a sturdy digipak bursting at the seams with photos and extensive liner notes. Flawless presentation, flawless victory.

Rich in hue, this classic london blue topaz gemstone ring shines against sterling silver and features a cushion cut.
Looks beautiful which a perfect size stone. Sterling silver band is a nice accent to the stone.
edward, watertown, MA – October 2013
Originally purchased the light blue cushion cut topaz that was on sale & returned it. The cut was too square & this ring was more fitting for my long, delicate fingers w/ a more rectangle shape to it. The deeper blue color of this ring was more exquisite than the lighter blue. Looks really great dressed up or down! Recommend!
Anonymous, Lacey, WA – September 2013
Although my wife absolutely loves the ring it is unfortunately too small and I must return it for a larger size.
