John Lasseter and Disney Studios chief Dick Cook set animation fandom aflame yesterday when they hosted a presentation in New York City to detail the next five years of animated films from Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios. The press conference was unusually detailed for the typically secretive world of animation – Cook pointed out that it was the first strictly animation-related presentation from Disney in more than a decade.
In all, ten new theatrical releases were announced. Scheduled to arrive in theaters twice annually, the slate includes four films from WDAS and six features from Pixar. Aside from 2011, when Pixar will release two films, Pixar films will arrive during the summer and Disney Animation productions during the holidays. In addition to the new films, Toy Story and Toy Story 2 will be re-released in 3-D. Also announced were four direct-to-video Tinkerbell films – one each for the next four years – from the overhauled DisneyToon Studios. The theatrical slate, in brief:
WALL*E – Pixar Animation Studios, June 27th, 2008 – Directed by Finding Nemo's Andrew Stanton, WALL*E is the last robot on Earth when he suddenly falls in love and goes on an adventure to save the world.
Bolt – Walt Disney Animation Studios, November 26th, 2008 – Directed by Chris Williams & Byron Howard and released in 3-D, Bolt follows a canine television star on a cross-country adventure where his on-camera superpowers neglect to translate into the real world.
Up – Pixar Animation Studios, May 29th, 2009 – Also released in 3-D and directed by Pete Docter, Up is about an elderly man who is beginning to think that life has passed him by when he embarks on a perilous journey with an eight year old Wilderness Explorer.
Toy Story in 3-D – Pixar Animation Studios, October 2nd, 2009 – The original John Lasseter film has been converted to 3-D for its re-release.
The Princess and the Frog – Walt Disney Animation Studios, Christmas 2009 – The only traditionally animated feature on this list, and directed by Disney vets Ron Clements and John Musker, Princess reimagines the classic fairy tale in jazz-age New Orleans and features Disney's first African-American princess.
Toy Story 2 in 3-D – Pixar Animation Studios, February 12th, 2010 – John Lasseter's first sequel has also been converted to 3-D for its re-release.
Toy Story 3 – Pixar Animation Studios, June 18th, 2010 – Produced in 3-D and directed by Lee Unkrich, the second Toy Story sequel follows the toys as Andy prepares to leave for college.
Rapunzel – Walt Disney Animation Studios, Christmas 2010 – Another 3-D release, this re-telling of the well-known fairy tale is directed by renowned Disney animator Glen Keane and Dean Wellins.
newt – Pixar Animation Studios, Summer 2011 – First-time director Gary Rydstrom, previously a sound designer for Pixar and Lucasfilm, will bring us this 3-D film about two endangered newts who are brought together by scientists to repopulate their species – only they can't stand each other.
The Bear and the Bow – Pixar Animation Studios, Holiday 2011 – Brenda Chapman becomes Pixar's first female director with this Scottish tale of magic and fantasy. Produced in 3-D, the film tells of Merida, a Scottish princess who defies her parents and in turn endangers her father's kingdom.
Cars 2 – Pixar Animation Studios, Summer 2012 – Though long rumored, this film is perhaps the most surprising on the list. Pixar producer Brad Lewis will direct this 3-D sequel, in which our automotive protagonists embark on an adventure overseas.
King of the Elves – Walt Disney Animation Studios, Holiday 2012 – Surprising many, this film had been rumored since Disney optioned the Philip K. Dick story upon which it will be based. Directed by Aaron Blaise & Robert Walker, and produced in 3-D, this odd fantasy tale concerns "an average man living in the Mississippi Delta, whose reluctant actions to help a desperate band of elves leads them to name him their new king."
We'll be describing these films in greater detail in upcoming posts, but I have a few thoughts. First, I can't help but notice that there is unfortunately only one traditionally animated film on the list. It had previously been hinted that Disney had another 2-D project in the works, but as this schedule is fairly crowded I can't imagine it surfacing before 2013. That's a long time to wait for some old-school animation, folks!
The release pattern is also interesting. Pixar gets what is assumed to be the plum summer timeslots, not to mention two releases in 2011. It's also worth noting that all the Pixar films have single directors while all Disney films have two; while this is typical of traditional animation, does it indicate that Lasseter doesn't yet have faith in Disney directors to have a singular artistic vision?
Troublesome to me is the fact that after WALL*E, all but the traditionally animated Princess are going to be released in "Disney Digital 3-D." While Disney has been pushing this technology hard since Chicken Little in 2005 as a way to motivate families to choose theatrical releases over home video, I continue to worry that it will remain a gimmick and a fad while neglecting to service the story of the films whatsoever. It was an innovation driven by marketers rather than filmmakers, and despite Lasseter's enthusiasm for the process I hope that traditional standard releases continue. Maybe I'm a fuddy-duddy (and at such an early age, too), but I'd rather enjoy the art of the animation without having to deal with all the artifacts of the 3-D process (not to mention that I don't want to wear the sodding glasses either!).
Another interesting aspect of the announcement is how it fleshes out long-circulating rumors, such as the hints that Rydstrom and Chapman were going to be assigned features and the odd mention in one news article mentioning a new Scottish princess in the Disney pantheon. Yet it also brings up questions – where is John Carter of Mars? And while Brad Bird's Pixar-produced live action 1906 isn't mentioned, where the frak is Incredibles 2? Such a project has long been denied, but it's widely asserted among fans that The Incredibles is far more worthy of a sequel than Cars. While Cars 2 is obviously timed to coincide with the opening of the new Carsland at California Adventure in 2011, and inspired by the huge marketing windfall that has followed the original film, one would hope that Pixar isn't starting to pump out sequels just because of merchandising opportunities. Who cares? I just want Incredibles 2.
In any case, it's a bold plan and shows the real confidence Disney now has in animation. This is a very ambitious slate, unmatched since the heyday of the 1990's animation boom. Let's hope they can just keep all those balls in the air this time around. The best news is that Disney and Pixar have a great mix of seasoned talent and new directors all working on a fairly unique series of concepts with the committed, hands-off support of management. Even the DisneyToons studio has abandoned the unwanted direct-to-video sequel market, with Cook promising more films on the way but only spinoffs or original concepts. It's an exciting time, and I can't wait to see what they have in store.

Mike and the band travel to tropical Iowa City to record their 4th studio album. According to the band the theme of the album is "good" so we will see what kind of inspiration they can till from that. More info to come along with some video bloging of the experiance. Stay tuned.
Also, the band returned from Spain tired, sweaty, 5 pounds lighter and filled with tapas (weird juxtaposition). While over seas they ran into one of their favorite people and top blogs You sing I write. Check out the love from writer Annie Reuter

Win7 Home Premium x64
Need a WIN7 driver for a Worldtech Devices, specialty keyboard
aloha all,
My newly rebuilt media editing computer has been successfully loaded with Windows 7 Home Edition Family Pack.
I have a specialty USB keyboard for Adobe Custom Suite 4, model K9852, from worldtechdevices. The company has apparently gone out of business and I can't find enough information to see who might have acquired them, in order to get a current Windows 7 driver.
Before my rebuild the keyboard was working gr8 with WINXP-PRO-SP3 and since reloading and trying to get up to full speed, the WTD keyboard is giving me problems, i.e. when specific letters or number are used, I get the letter wanted plus the letter either to the right or left, when using numeral 2, I also get numeral 1.
Hopefully you folks can help me; 1) either find worldtech or, 2) tell me Windows 7 native drivers are sufficient, or 3) give me some other action to try.
Mahalo-n-aloha...from the big Island where the water is warm and clear and the temperature is 82F.

I'm also having problems getting updated info about WorldTech Devices. According to a Dun & Bradstreet company called Hoovers (they track and rate other companies) WorldTech is located in California. But when I tried going to the listed website I get a "site isn't loading right now" error message.
WorldTech Devices, Inc. | Company Profile from Hoover
Assuming they are in fact out of business, you might be able to find a driver by using Device Manager, updating or uninstalling the existing driver, and let Windows 7 search for a comparable driver. (I'd make sure to have another keyboard available just in case.) Expand "Keyboard" > right-click on the K9852 > Update Driver Software. See if that helps. Or, after right-clicking on the K9852 > Uninstall. Then reboot and see if a driver is found and installed by Windows 7.
How To Access Device Manager From the Control Panel in Windows 7
In the alternative, you could use a 3rd party company like DriverMax. Let it scan you computer and see if they can find an updated driver.
Or, you could try running the XP driver in Compatibility Mode.

Jun 21, 2013This is the way that DLC should be done. $20 for an entire 81 level campaign feels much closer to the expansion packs that we used to know and love. Luigi jumps farther but slides around more than Mario but this creates a lot of hectic fun. The levels are much more difficult than the ones in NSMBU but their short length never makes them feel impossible to complete. Even one or two small flukes will put you within range of the finish line. The levels are faster and some of them are truly the best Mario levels I have ever played. It feels like the developers were having fun and they came up with some pretty wild ideas that translated into awesome courses. The addition of Nabbit is great for beginners in multiplayer. The game doesn't do much else that is new but the amount of content is staggering for a $20 price tag and it is an absolute must buy for fans of the series. I went into this with certain doubts as the Mario formula can feel a bit stale from time to time but I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of creativity and effort that the devs put into this package.… Expand
Jun 21, 2013I loved New Super Mario Bros. U but I felt that it wasn't worth $60.
Now here we have New Super Luigi. U, which I like even more because of the increased difficulty, revamped stages and Nabbit as a playable character for my girlfriend and little sister since they aren't that good in video games. Best of all? Only $20! or $30 if you don't have SMBU, I played it at a friends house and will personally wait for the physical release because I just love that green box and it'll look quiet unique in my nothing but blue Wii U collection.… Expand
Jun 24, 2013New super Luigi U is pure gold. From the moment I finished the first level, I knew I was in for a treat. My main beef with New Super Mario Bros U was that it was way too easy. Now, with the help of Luigi, I finally have a REALLY challenging mario game to play. As everyone says, Nabbit is great. He's the perfect character for younger siblings, or in my case, my girlfriend. She still has a little trouble timing jumps, which is the only way Nabbit can die, but our deaths only end in laughter, not frustration. For those who thought New Super Mario Bros U was too easy, or if they simply want more, New Super Luigi U is an amazing game that should not be overlooked. It's called DLC, but I've never seen DLC as complete as this one. With 83 levels and plenty of challenge, it's easy to see why this game is not "Just another Mario". I'd easily call it better than the game it comes from.… Expand
Jun 24, 2013Luigi U is the Hardcore version of Mario U.
It has the same number of levels, but all of them are shorter designed for 100 seconds as opposed to 300 seconds for Mario U. Even though they're shorter the difficulty has been ramped up. There is no "Guide" or Easy outs if you die a lot. For Mario U with about 90 percent complete I had put about 22 hours into the game. For Luigi U I've done about 19 hours to get to about the same point. For an expansion that nearly meets the playtime for the original it's very much worth the 20 bucks as DLC.
The only drawback is the Boss fights are identical to the original, and Luigi's abilities makes them a bit easier then they where for Mario. Being able to jump and hover, just a bit, makes timing out an already easy fight even easier.… Expand
Jun 27, 2013This is the best DLC I've ever purchased, it's more than a few more maps or an extra character, it's a whole new game with a new character and re-done abilities. Luigi's "flutter kick" and extra slide and a whole new level of challenge and depth to an already interesting game. The levels are brilliantly designed giving a challenge, without making it seem improbable. They take older features and use them in cool ways, and give a good limit, so, you can't just wait around in a level. If you are a fan of platforming, and was even slightly interested in NSMBU then this DLC will not disappoint.… Expand
Jul 13, 2013I gave New Super Mario Bros. U a 10 out of 10 because I found it to be original, yet classic, mechanically perfect, and a very good challenge. New Super Luigi U follows suit brilliantly! It's original, but retains its classic feel. The mechanics work wonderfully all of the time. And the challenge was utterly fulfilling. The time-limit of the levels have all been shortened to 100s (as opposed to the usual 300s) and with good reason. While New Super Luigi U is challenging, the levels are easily able to be completed within the 100s time-limit, provided Luigi keeps up a steady gait. I managed to complete it 100% and there was never a dull moment. If you love New Super Mario Bros. U, or any 2D Super Mario game for that matter, you'll adore New Super Luigi U. The DLC is well worth its value as the content will have you entertained for countless hours. It's pretty obvious to me that Nintendo have these 2D Super Mario games down pat, spicing them up with new features in each successive release, while maintaining that original Super Mario Bros.-type feel. And New Super Luigi U is definitely no exception. Oh, bellissimo!… Expand
Jul 25, 2013Finally a dlc .........................................................................................................................................DONE RIGHT
Jul 22, 2013Just buy it. Come on. It's better than the original. It's not just 4 new levels and a new character for $20, it's
80+ new levels (challenging ones, at that!), new jump mechanics, a new character for players that are young or inexperienced, and a game that's about Luigi defeating bowser. It's fun. Trust me.
Feb 1, 2014This game feels very similar to NSMBU, but it's a DLC, what do you expect. I personally prefer this version, as it is harder. I suggest this game to any fan of difficult games, but warn those who aren't that good at video games to use Nabbit.
Aug 21, 2013We need more DLCS like this on wii u. it's blowing super mario out of the effing water. if you haven't played this shell out the measly 20 bucks and get on it! it'll revamp your whole view of the series and the console.
Apr 5, 2014Don't mistake this for just more of the same Mario gameplay. Luigi has his own unique tricks up his sleeve that make this one no 2D platformer fan should miss. As far as changes to the formula goes, the time limit is shorter and Luigi jumps differently than Mario does. The time limit here is also shorter and the new 80+ levels are much tougher than in New Super Mario Bros. U. To make up for the shorter time-limit the levels are noticeably shorter than in the main game, but they are still a blast to play through and excellently designed.
Just about every part of this DLC/expansion pack is incredibly well made, and Luigi really shines here. It's an excellent addition to the already excellent main game's content, and considering this is available through download or in disc form at stores, there's really no reason why you shouldn't play it. Luigi make take center stage here, but the platforming is just as excellent as all of the Mario games to come before it.… Expand
Jul 31, 2014This DLC is pretty much NSMBU but with a greater challenge. A smaller time limit and more challenging levels keep it interesting and more so with friends. (Oh, and no Mario so for all of you Mario fanboys, sorry. Luigi fans rejoice!)
New Super Luigi U is what iv'e been waiting for as a Nintendo gamer whose favorite Mario was Super Mario World for the SNES. While the recent 2D outings for Mario games have been fairly easy and missing a certain something, New Super Mario Bros U was released and was a great game. The giant world filled with secrets and mystery, the colored Yoshis with cool abilities (albeit you can't grow them up and the only grown Yoshi available to ride can't be taken between levels), and just the overall feel of a great 2D Mario game finally returned. Now with New Super Luigi U, the difficulty that iv'e been expecting for some time has finally come, and it makes for some great fun that feels like and old school game that jumped into the 21st century with beautiful HD visuals. The levels are fun and creative, and you can tell Nintendo still has plenty of great ideas up their sleeve. New Super Mario Bros U is now at a tie for my favorite 2D Mario game, along with Super Mario World. The New Super Luigi U DLC is a deal maker, and adds the difficulty and creativity iv'e been craving for Nintendo to release. My only gripe is that there is still no return of the colorful Yoshis that you can ride and take between levels (besides ghost houses). The Yoshi aspect from Super Mario World is the reason I loved that game so much. Having colored Yoshis found in a Star World was truly unique and fun. Plus the idea that you can take a regular green Yoshi and eat a colored shell to have special powers was a great one that we haven't seen included in a Mario game since Super Mario World's release. New Super Luigi U is fun and exciting none the less, and is a step in the right direction for Nintendo and its 2D Mario titles, and the focus on Luigi is a great change up.… Collapse
Dec 24, 2013NSL is a great twist on an already successful title. Personally I prefer Lugi game over Mario's. NSL is a fast pace, exciting, plat former. The game is design to be speed run and with most levels only lasting 15-20 seconds, it's has a good pacing on not over doing any one concept. The levels are challenging and difficult. Any hardcore plat former has to play this. I would recommend NSL over NSMB. Unless it's for a child, than the game may have too high of a skill curve.… Expand
Jan 18, 2014Don't treat this game as an entirely new entry to the series. Pretty much like Lost Levels, it's supposed to be an equally fun but harder version of its predecessor. And boy is it. The overworld map is the same, but the levels themselves are completely different. You only have 100 seconds on the clock, but the levels are shorter so this makes up for it. Luigi slides and jumps higher like in previous games in the series, but the level design compensates this and makes the game really fun to play. The single player is the best mode however, as multiplayer can be a bit too frantic with all of the difficult jumps and enemy placement. But the fast paced levels mean there is never a dull moment in single player, so the game is still great alone. Nabbit can also be played in single player through the use of a button cheat, so even younger players can enjoy this game without the frustrating challenge. It's both a great and underrated game.… Expand
Jul 23, 2013I feel like this game has gotten a bad rap. Luigi U takes the 80 something levels in Mario U and redesigns them all. It uses the same game engine, the same world map, and the same worlds but each individual level is completely different. The levels are about half as long as in Mario U, but there is no half way mark and you only have 100 seconds for each level so it feels like your racing the clock Luigi U has different physics then Mario. Luigi jumps higher, is more slippery, and can hang in the air longer then Mario. The reasons that I like Luigi U better then Mario are. First, Its much more difficult and the difficulty makes it a more enjoyable game. Second, Luigi U has more creative level design, The levels seem a lot less bland then in Mario U. Third, is bang for your buck. Luigi U is $20 if you get it as dlc. It took me 17 and a half hours to play through the game (getting every star coin and secret exit but only using a guide if I couldn't get it on my own). $20 for 17.5 hours in just the first play through is pretty good, and a much better dollar to time ratio then Mario U.… Expand
Aug 9, 2013This gets a 9. Simply because it is definitely as good as New Super Mario Bros U, which i gave a 9 as well. This added extra levels, and a challenge that is just as frustrating and addicting as the NSMBU. This is DLC...DLC! I can't recall DLC that didn't leave me feeling slightly ripped off. If you've beat NSMBU, then you owe it to yourself to get this. Yes its DLC, but it feels like a whole new game.… Expand
Aug 22, 2013A Grate DLC For Getting My Birthday 10/10
One Of The Best DLCS Of New Super Mario Bros U, Good To Play As Luigi In Single Player Seance Luigi's Mansion, Also Recommend To Play This Game With Family And Friends.
Sep 5, 2013New Super Luigi U is a solid DLC Pack with a fresh feel to it, despite the story and world map being close to identical from New Super Mario Bros. U. The game actually felt newer in certain ways compared to the original game. The levels are completely re-designed and are much shorter than the original game but have a bit of a fast pace feel to it sometime which is not a bad thing. There is also a difficultly boost that is noticeable if you've played New Super Mario Bros. U. Surprisingly worth the $20 for a digital buy ($30 for retail without New Super Mario Bros. U). If you liked/loved New Super Mario Bros. U you will most likely like or love this game, especially if you are a Luigi fan! … Expand
Jul 5, 2014Take New Super Mario U , Add Nabbit , Remove Mario , Add 99 Second Time Limit , You Get New Super Luigi U , the levels are also much harder , none the less , worth picking up , definitely the challenge mario platformer fans have been craving
Mar 4, 2014New Super Luigi U is a great game. Not much is wrong about it, but I do have some nitpicks I want to mention. But first, the good stuff: in terms of content the game doesn't really add too much, but in terms of gameplay and levels, the former adds some new twists while the latter changes the whole game basically. All levels are remastered to make the game more challenging, and Luigi controls more like he does in the Galaxy games, with less traction and his trademark kicky-feet jump (not sure if that jump has an official name). Nabbit, the little bandit you battle sometimes in Mario Bros. U, returns as a playable character who can't get hurt by enemies but can't use power-ups. That mechanic is great though because if you DO collect power-ups as Nabbit, they'll turn into 1-Ups when you reach the flagpole. Now onto the nitpicks.... I guess the only one I have at the moment is the shorter time limit. It furthers the challenge, but I don't think it was really necessary, as it takes away from us being able to really take in the new level designs. But this game is supposed to feel a bit more fast-paced, so it's kind of alright. All-in-all, I really enjoyed this game, and I say pick it up! And also, in celebration of the Year of Luigi, try to find EVERY hidden Luigi image in the game... it's CRAZY how many of them there are in total!… Expand
Jul 28, 2014Basically like New. Super Mario Bros wii but with a new control scheme and much higher challenge factor, plus better replay value. Fans of New. Super Mario Bros wii, hear me out, get this game. You'll love it.
May 11, 2014before i review this i originally thought this was going to be a redo of the original game with a time expansion. but after looking at it a bit more closely, i found that this game has similarities but with a better level design. i'm glad that Luigi has his own 2D game instead of catching ghost. but what I find cool about it is that it has hidden 8-bit Luigis throughout the game. i definetly think if you don't have this DCL you don't know what you're missing.… Expand
Aug 16, 2014This game is awesome for anyone who beat or loved Mario u. The courses are shorter, but I like them that way. It was interesting to see how Nintendo could come up with different courses so fast. The price is awesome: $20 for a game that is just as big as the main game. The map is the same, which is the only thing I didn't like. Since Mario isn't in the game, he is replaced by Nabbit the invincible bunny, who is immune to almost everything. Nabbit was a good addition to the game because this game is much harder than Mario u, but by using Nabbit it's about the same. Buy Mario u first, then pick this up.… Expand
Oct 2, 2014This was well worth the money, this is how DLC's should be done. Anyway the game itself is fun and I love the challenge, It might seem easy at first, but just wait the challenge really picks up when you get into the later worlds.

The New Super Luigi U DLC is a deal maker, and adds the difficulty and creativity iv'e been craving for Nintendo to release. My only gripe is that there is still no return of the colorful Yoshis that you can ride and take between levels (besides ghost houses). The Yoshi aspect from Super Mario World is the reason I loved that game so much. Having colored Yoshis found in a Star World was truly unique and fun. Plus the idea that you can take a regular green Yoshi and eat a colored shell to have special powers was a great one that we haven't seen included in a Mario game since Super Mario World's release. New Super Luigi U is fun and exciting none the less, and is a step in the right direction for Nintendo and its 2D Mario titles, and the focus on Luigi is a great change up.… Collapse
Oct 5, 2013Luigi's own adventure is probably one of the largest DLC packets on the market. The whole New Super Mario U has been remixed, the difficulty level has been tuned, and the slim main character is totally different from the plump plumber. This add-on is well worth the money. [Sept 2013]
Sep 19, 2013An unexpected expansion pack for the New Super Mario Bros. U brings new levels, a new hero, more intense gameplay, and higher difficulty level. It's a shame the multiplayer game is a fail. [Issue#232]
Sep 16, 2013If you have some resistance against frustration and want a short but intensive trip into the New Super Mario Bros. Universe, you should keep that addition in mind.

The country may be all agog in the throes of material glut, but India's reputation as a 'spiritual destination' continues. The latest celebrity to come in for a mending of the heart and mind is the unaffected and sad Demi Moore (here in Mcleodganj), post her break-up, and looking forward to an energising audience with the Dalai Lama. - Lobsang Wangyal
The monasteries and temples of Ajanta and Ellora
Separated by a goodly 100km, the Buddhist caves of Ajanta and the Jain, Hindu and Buddhist rock-cut architecture of Ellora are still spoken of inseparably. ASI describes the painting and sculptures of Ajanta as the finest surviving examples of Indian art (ascribed to two distinct periods, the earliest caves date back to 100 BCE). Ellora's 'uninterrupted sequence of monuments' came up between CE 600 and CE 1000, rising impossibly from the basalt cliffs of the Western Ghats near Aurangabad. The Kailasanatha Temple is its unsurpassed centrepiece. maharashtratourism.gov.in

Subscribe to our e-newsletter mailing list to keep up with NCCCO news and industry headlines.
As a nationally certified crane operator, you have demonstrated you are skilled and knowledgeable about crane operations. Employers increasingly prefer CCO-certified operators over others who are not certified. By recertifying at this time you will protect your valuable credential for the long term. And the new CCO photo-ID card you will receive will identify you to your co-workers and employers as someone who cares about what you do, and the way you do it. (top of page)
If you don't recertify by the deadline, your certification will expire. In order to be certified again in the future, you'll have to take the full written and practical examinations over again. (top of page)
You'll need to take a written recertification exam for the specialties you want to stay certified in. You must also continue to meet physical requirements and comply with the substance abuse policy and the NCCCO Code of Ethics. (top of page)
It's a much shorter exam than you took to certify initially: there are just 40 questions on the recertification Core exam and 10 questions on each of the four Specialties. Three of the questions in each Specialty exam are calculation load chart questions. You'll be through with all the tests in 21/2 hours. (top of page)
It's very important to keep up to date with advances in technology, as well as changes in standards and regulations. For that reason, many professions now require periodic training and examination. While the recertification exams cover the same areas of knowledge as the main exams, they've been updated to reflect the latest developments in technology as well as safety standards and practices. (top of page)
Once you have passed the practical exam, you do not need to take it again so long as you maintain 1,000 hours of crane-related experience during your five-year certification period, and you continue to meet physical requirements and comply with the NCCCO substance abuse policy and Code of Ethics. (top of page)
Recertification costs less than your initial certification: $150 for the Core recertification exam plus one Specialty, and $5 for each additional Specialty. That's the equivalent of just $33 per year over your five-year certification period. Cost of the Practical Exam is $60 for the first category, and $10 for each of the other two, if taken at the same time. (top of page)
Recertification exams are available at regular test administrations. In the first instance, contact the Test Site Coordinator who set up your initial certification exams. If your employment circumstances have changed, ask your new employer to schedule a test, or have him call NCCCO for information on how to set up a test site. (top of page)
Your CCO certification is good for five (5) years. Although it is your responsibility to be aware of your approaching expiration date, you'll receive a letter from NCCCO notifying you of your certification status and your need to recertify. If you have moved since you were initially certified, please contact NCCCO with your change of address. (top of page)
You can take the written recertification exams, and if necessary the practical recertification exams, up to 12 months prior to your expiration date. (top of page)
Regardless of when, during the 12 months prior to your expiration date, you pass the recertification exam, your 5-year recertification begins from the date your initial certification expired. (top of page)
In most instances, your employer or Test Site Coordinator will be able to answer more detailed questions. Or, just send an email to NCCCO. (top of page)

But before those, I want the Warlord, but only if they're not watered (as certain other classes are) for any reason. If that can't work, give me a class that's functionally ToB's Warblade and justify it by giving 4E's Battlemind's psionic origin (and a couple of the latter's powers would be appreciated).
That, and adding any (or all) of the following classes would make me a loyal fanatic to 5E no matter what:
- a Shapechanger, specifically one that's not limited to animal forms nor loaded with other types of magic or features. Only shapechanging and as much as that could encompass.
- A Monster Catcher. Similar to the summoner, but instead of creating their own monsters, they capture existing ones to do their bidding. Assimilating monsters and then creating Astral or Phantom copies of them could also work.
- a Horde. In short, when a player chooses this class, they play as an entire group of weak characters instead of just one. Practically minions in player form.

Tip 9: Enjoy the City by the Bay
Wow, All About the Cloud is right around the corner. In just a couple of short weeks, executives representing the entire cloud computing ecosystem will converge on the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. While we have a number of activities planned to keep you busy, we want to make sure you make the most of your time in San Francisco. Leave it to us to make you feel like a local with some of our favorite San Francisco treats!
Best Late Night Piano Bar:
"Sing us a song you're the Piano Man"! The dueling pianos at Johnny Foley's at 243 O'Farrell Street is a favorite of our attendees. Get ready to sing your heart out!
Best Place to Satisfy a Sweet Craving:
You've been networking all day and now you need something sweet to carry you into the evening events. Specialty's – Just a minute walk from the Palace Hotel (101 New Montgomery Street), they have the best chocolate chip cookies in town. If you don't believe me just ask Brian Rosenberg who is a regular when in the Bay Area.
Best Place to Meet Your Next Partner or Customer:
ALL ABOUT THE CLOUD! Be sure not to miss the AATC agenda, full of great content and numerous networking opportunities.
Best Place to Experience Real San Francisco:
North Beach, San Francisco's own Little Italy! Be sure to stop into Vesuvio, a historical saloon that opened back in 1948.
Best Place to eat at 2am:
You survived the Dell Boomi party and the late night piano bar and now you are starving. Lori's Diner – with great food and a fun theme, Lori's features counter service, all day breakfast and is open 24 hours. Located on Mason, Lori's is just a few steps away from that notorious piano bar.
Best Place for a Cultural Experience:
Golden Gate Park – besides the parks trails and beauty it is loaded with cultural activities. The de Young Museum is a landmark art museum in featuring modern exhibits that change regularly. The Academy of Sciences, also located in the park, houses a natural history museum, planetarium, aquarium, and rainforest dome.
Best Place to Get Great Shopping Deals:
Jeremy's on 2nd is a hidden treasure in San Francisco, where you can find great designer pieces at great prices.
Best Place to Enjoy the Ocean:
If you are lucky enough to tag on some extra time in the city and want to experience the Pacific Ocean head out to the historic Cliff House. Located right on the beach, on the edge of the Pacific, the Cliff House is a great place to grab a meal after a hike or stroll on the beach. Be sure to bring a jacket, I know it is July but I promise you will need it!
Best Route to Go for a Run:
You ate and drank a little too much last night at the various networking events and it is time to run it off so you can do it again today. Head right down Market Street to the beautiful Embarcadero where you can run along the water. If you choose to turn right you can head right up to AT&T park, turn Right on New Montgomery and be right back at the hotel.
If I can provide any additional information on the Bay Area, drop me a note firstname.lastname@example.com, I will be happy to help.
Rhianna Collier is VP for the Software Division at SIIA.

Can you tell us about your current relationship with Zane? It was a very happy ending, I must admit, that you found someone who you seem to have a mutual connection and understanding with, after all the pain in your life. Do you think you've found someone you can be with for the rest of your life?
The important thing is, I have different requirements for a relationship now than I used to, and I think I only realized this through writing Vow. It's true that when I was younger, I loved the newness of a relationship, that wild joy that you feel. I didn't do so well when it dissipated. I have learned to be happy with being comfortable with Zane. So when our relationship came down off of that drunken, early high, I didn't question it. I didn't imagine anything was wrong. I accepted that this is another stage, and not a sign of failure. I love Zane's company, and that is more than enough.
There is a great line uttered by the actress Mia Farrow in the little-known movie Miami Rhapsody. She is explaining the peace she has made toward the adultery in her long marriage, and she says, "Now, all I want is someone to hold my hand while I'm shopping for lawn furniture." I love that line. It sounds so unromantic. But there is great romance in just having someone by your side. You just have to be smart enough to know that. I wish I had been way back when.
Were there any memoirs that influenced yours? What's the last amazing memoir you read?
When I was pregnant with my first son, I read Anne Lamott's Operating Instructions. It was such a gift to new mothers, truly courageous. She said things about having a baby and raising children that we all feel, but do not necessarily admit, and her revelations were deeply comforting. I think she did more for new mothers than 20 iterations of What To Expect When , which I found vaguely tyrannical. I think Anne Lamott is wonderful. I also loved The Blue Jay's Dance by Louise Erdrich. Again, it was honest, brave a hand held out to every mother.
Do you have an all-time favorite author or book?
I still haven't recovered from my first reading of Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, and that was 20 years ago. John Steinbeck's East of Eden has an answer for nearly any question you could ask. Nathan Englander's The Ministry of Special Cases was devastating, a great book. And every year I spend the month of December re-reading Charlotte's Web, James and the Giant Peach, and Through the Looking Glass, just to keep my imagination cracking.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a novel. And learning how to use my twitter account, which is still overwhelming me on a daily basis. I just don't have the aptitude required for the effective use of technology. If truth be told, I'd rather use carrier pigeons.
Do you have any advice for aspiring memoir writers?
Front-load every bit of information you can. Read widely (including subjects you're not terribly interested in), write down your impressions, your ideas, your memories. Write down especially those images or thoughts that steal across the back of your mind for no particular reason. Those are the best. Then when you want to write, you can use it as your fuel. You would be surprised at how easily it all scrolls back up.

Dell has further padded out its software portfolio by snapping up firewall vendor SonicWall from investment company Thoma Bravo. Financial details were not disclosed.
The move will add next-generation firewalls, unified threat management (UTM) and data protection capabilities to Dell's rapidly expanding security platform. SonicWall will sit alongside SecureWorks and Dell KACE in Dell's security division.
The acquisition represents another addition to Dell's new Software Division, founded in February this year to help the company offer a combination of hardware, software and services to its customers.
This will see it move further away from its PC maker history and towards the software and services spaces occupied primarily by IBM and HP. The new division will be headed up by former CA boss John Swainson.
Talking about the SonicWall acquisition, Swainson said: "We are building a strategic software portfolio to address the needs of our customers with key assets in the fast-growing and highly profitable IT security solutions business. Our customers see security as a key IT concern for the foreseeable future."
"SonicWALL gives Dell access to unique intellectual property resources and technology that position us well in fast growing parts of the software security business," he added.
The company was previosuly a public company, until it was acquired by an investor group led by Thoma Bravo for $717m. "During our ownership of the company, their implementation of our operational strategies resulted in a significant increase in SonicWalls' value," said Thoma Bravo managing partner Orlando Bravo in a statement.
Francois Lavaste, CEO of NETASQ, said that the acquisitions shows the demand for UTM. "Today's acquisition news reflects the attractiveness of unified network security," he said in a statement.
"The IT infrastructure of companies needs to be efficiently protected. After the acquisition of Secure Computing by McAfee and of McAfee by Intel, and most recently the acquisition of Astaro by Sophos, today's news from SonicWall and Dell is a strong sign that the consolidation of this market has really started and from now we should some acceleration in that respect," he added.
Dell expects the deal to close during the second quarter of its FY2013. SonicWall's 950 employees will join Dell, the company said.

The pilot reported that he was landing the tailwheel-equipped airplane on runway 2, with an 8-knot crosswind. During the landing roll, the airplane's left wing lifted and the right wing and propeller contacted the ground. The pilot applied engine power and attempted to regain control; however, the airplane veered off the right side of the runway and struck a dirt bank. The right wing, right main landing gear and right wing strut were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that he did not experience any mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane prior to the accident. A weather observation taken at the airport about the time of the accident reported winds from 300 degrees at 4 knots.

Monday Night Football: Seahawks Beat Packers, 14-12, on Controversial Touchdown Pass
The 5 Best College Football Head Coaches Without a National Title
Since his 2000 hiring, Gary Patterson has transformed the Horned Frogs from Division I doormat into a regular top 10 team. Under Patterson, TCU has won at least 11 games in seven out of the last nine seasons. That consistency has racked up five conference championships and an impressive seven bowl wins. Patterson was also named the A.P. Coach of the Year in 2009, and has overseen the development of some legendary players. Most importantly, TCU's 2012 jump to the Big 12 will finally provide Patterson's squad with the strength of schedule of a legitimate national contender.
Do You Care If the NHL Season Is Canceled? — Sports Survey of the Day
NFL Week 3 Fantasy Football Preview
Wes Welker's playing time (or lack thereof) has been, without question, the strangest story of the 2012 season. After catching a ridiculous 122 passes in 2011, Welker has seen his usage rate drop substantially in favor of the Julian Edelman. This trend has given rise to every manner of rumor and conspiracy theory, most notably the strange idea that the Patriots are somehow punishing Welker for complaining about his contract situation during the off-season.
New York Giants Crush Carolina Panthers, 36-7
Eli Manning passed for 288 yards and a touchdown, as the New York Giants routed the Carolina Panthers, 36-7, on Thursday night in Charlotte. Running back Andre Brown added a career-high 113 rushing yards and two touchdowns for New York (2-1) in his first NFL start in place of the injured Ahmad Bradshaw.
NFL 2012 Season — Week Three Preview
Two battles between unbeaten teams and a rematch of last season's AFC title game highlight the Week 3 NFL schedule. Here's a preview of all of the week's action:
Thursday, Sept. 20
NY Giants at Carolina Panthers — 8:20 p.m.
Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC
After rallying to a win behind Eli Manning's 510 passing yards, the Giants (1-1) face a short week of preparation for Carolina (1-1) and their versatile quarterback, Cam Newton. Expect New York to pressure Newton and respect the Panthers' solid running attack. Though Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks was ailing after last Sunday's win, he should be in uniform on Thursday. New York running back Ahmad Bradshaw is less likely to play.

Orlando Weekly's guide to the 2013 Florida Film Festival
Central Florida's annual festival of film and food returns for its 22nd year
Published: April 3, 2013
This is the first feature by director Jay Gammill and writer Jim Beggarly, and it shows. Perhaps, as with those glossy food photos in restaurant menus, this ice cream looked better on paper. How else does one explain the involvement of Jesse Eisenberg, who is both miscast and underused as Jillian's potential love interest, and Tippi Hedren as one of the customers?
Playing Jillian is the quirky Jess Weixler, who is trying her best to overcome the material. But at just 80 minutes and with some misplaced sincerity toward the end, the film just doesn't give her enough to work with. After all, sometimes in art, as in life, less really is less.
The fact that I, your friendly festival reviewer, was able to see this film as a free sample made it somewhat palatable. If you're stuck having to pay for this concoction, though, you may be left with buyer's remorse.
"You're the best-looking woman I would never, ever consider having sex with," a friend tells Jillian. Sadly, judging just by Free Samples, Weixler is the best-looking woman I would never, ever consider seeing in a movie. So stay away and instead see the other Tippi Hedren film playing this year's fest: Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, on April 12, if you can manage a stand-by ticket. And as an added bonus, Hedren herself will be there. – CM
Filmmaker Jeffrey Schwarz is apparently on a mission to make a documentary about everyone who has ever been the subject of a chapter in one of John Waters' books. On the heels of Schwarz's charming Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story (FFF 2008) comes I Am Divine, an affectionate, even triumphant bio of Waters' immortal leading "lady." Via a treasure trove of film and video footage, still photos and talking-head interviews with Divine's enamored contemporaries, Schwarz takes us through the beyond-unlikely process by which one Harris Glenn Milstead made childhood ostracization the fuel for an outrageous persona that turned drag on its head before most people had even heard of such a thing.
With this story of revenge via living well acting as the doc's main "melody," Divine's many addictions become a sort of Jaws theme underneath, portending the heart attack that would claim his life at the age of only 42. Yet the doc is the opposite of a downer: It's laugh-out-loud funny and eminently quotable (perhaps unsurprising, given the personalities involved). It also happens to be genuinely moving as it describes Divine's eventual reconciliation with the parents who had once disowned him. In that sense, the movie is right on time, presenting us with the ennobling example of one family's victory over pressures mainstream society is only beginning to understand.
"He could never pass as normal," Waters says of his lifelong friend; I Am Divine points us toward a time when nobody will have to try. – Steve Schneider

After nearly a month of tests & waiting, I received a formal diagnosis from my doctor on Friday – I have ACTH Independent Cushing's Syndrome. Ok…so what does this mean?
We have two adrenal glands, located in the abdominal cavity. One gland produces adrenaline & the other gland produces serveral different hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone. Simply stated, it's an overproduction of cortisol in the body. Cortisol helps to maintain blood pressure and cardiovascular function, reduces the immune system's inflammatory response, balances the effects of insulin in breaking down sugar for energy, and regulates the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
A tumor developed on one of my adrenal glands, causing it to produce too much cortisol and caused the other gland to stop producing all together. Good news is that it can be treated by the removal of the over active gland. I'll have to be on hormone replacement therapy until the other gland can function normally on it own (long-term, short-term? don't know yet).
Apart of me wanted to scream with joy, "Yes, I finally have an answer to this hell!" Now I know what's wrong (and it's not all in my head). This has to be the best Christmas present EVER – I get my body back.
Another part said, "Damn, more than 4 years of feeling like I've been trapped in someone else's body."
More than 4 years of killing myself in the gym with no results, 4 years of watching my once youthful, fit body become one that looked abused by overeating & lack of exercise, reluctantly buying the next size up in clothing (making sure to cut the tags out so I wouldn't be reminded of the "new" size I'd become), 4 years of trying "alternative" eating regimens (only to become more obsessed with what I ate or didn't eat).
This last year or so has been particularly difficult. I had begun to accept the fact that this is the way my body is going to look. Fine, I can deal with that. What I feel most saddened by is the decrease & down right lack of energy I've had. Plus, my body just f*&^ing hurt (joints, back, racing heart, hot sweats, swelling & bloating ALL the time). The list goes on & on…
Based on what my doctor has said & the information I've read so far, it appears that the surgery has a high success rate and my body should return to "normal" once the tumor is removed. If everything goes according to plan, the surgery will take place by the end of January. Looks like 2008 is going to be a big year indeed.
Pregnancy can do strange things to a woman's body. I had my son more than 4 years ago & my body has yet to return to normal…
When my son was about one, I gave up on losing the 40+ lbs of pregnancy weight. I'm a fitness instructor & know how to eat right & lose weight, but nothing I did seemed to have an affect.
Over the next 3 years, I started experiencing symptoms related to Cushings disease. Individually, these symptoms don't appear to be all that alarming, but collectively they can become life threatening.
All this time, I thought the symptoms I was experiencing were over exaggerated figments of my imagination…The inability to lose weight & continually gaining weight, bloating & water retention, puffiness in the face, insomnia, hot sweats, bruising, extreme fatigue and my favorite – a buffalo hump (my husband pointed this out to me about 6-8 months ago, concerned that I had poor posture spending so much time on the computer).
About 3 months ago, I decided to try to reclaim my body again and started working with a personal trainer. Two & half months passed with NO change. WFT?! I was at the end of my rope & came to the conclusion that something has to be wrong with my body. I was weight training for 40 min. 3x/wk and doing cardio 45 min 3 or 4x/wk. I had even resorted to eliminating carbs from my diet. Basically starving myself.
I went to my doctor to get a full check up. She took my blood pressure & it read 180/92! I was a stroke victim waiting to happen. I explained my exercise routine & my inability to lose weight. What's wrong with me???
My blood work came back abnormal…Based on the initial results, she suspected it might be Cushings disease. She requested that I undergo more testing. Apparently Cushings disease is rare, affecting less than 200,000 people in the US population and is often times misdiagnosed.
After nearly a month of testing (blood work, urine collection and a MRI), it's been officially confirmed that I have Cushings disease.
I'm bitterly conflicted. Apart of me feels relieved to have an answer as to why my body is the way it is. It validates all of the symptoms I tried so hard to brush off. For the same reasons, I'm frustrated that I lost more than 4 years with my body (Prior to getting pregnant, I was in the best shape of my life & loved to be active. I had completed my first Olympic distance triathlon in 3 hrs & 33 min and was training to climb Mt. Rainier).
There are two types of tumors that cause Cushings disease: pituitary tumors & benign adrenal tumors. Good news is that this disease is fully treatable with surgery. Preliminary MRI results show that I have a 3 cm benign adrenal tumor.
I still have a long road ahead, with more testing, additional doctor evaluations and eventually surgery. My doctor has informed me that once the tumor is removed, my body should return to normal, what ever that means…
My greatest hope is that my body will feel good on the inside AND outside. I'm ready to conquer my next triathlon…
I was recently treated to a taster by Tricia McCracken, co-founder of Modmix. She prepared a variety of unique drink combinations – (the French Martini & Lavender Lemon Drop were my favorites.) I have to say I was impressed – the mixer was subtle & not too sweet.
Cool fact – Modmix is the first USDA approved organic cocktail mixer! It's slowly but surely making its way to the mainstream market & is available in organic grocery stores in the Pacific NW & East coast. Not yet in bars…
Thanks Tricia!

Fla. reaches 1 million mark with concealed weapons
The state of Florida has officially granted more than 1 million people permission to carry a concealed weapon.
A Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services spokeswoman says Florida had 1,000,645 active permits as of Wednesday morning.
Officials say Florida has the largest number of concealed weapon permit holders in the nation. The number of people applying for concealed weapon permits has risen sharply over the last four years.
Four out of five people with a permit are male. Roughly 10 percent of those with a valid permit are not state residents.
Anyone who is 21 years and older and is legal resident or citizen of the U.S. can apply for a permit. Convicted felons who have not had their rights restored and those judged mentally incompetent are ineligible.

Mazda6 Owners, how much did Mazda charge to replace front brake pads? Thank's for your help.
Answer: here in puerto rico i can make this job for 20$ + the price of the pads
that is so simple and it only takes you 15mins max
but in the states the price for hour service is around 65 so if your job takes 20 mins they will charge you the whole hour
so you have 65 + the price of the pads, i guess the pads are for 75 original = 140$
i can do it for less, 45 the pads in a good aftermarket part and 20 for the job
came to puerto rico you will love our climate

'Full-dress' version of the Chieftain tourer launched a year ago achieves what it set out to in out-luxo-ing and out-performing Harley's Electra Glide. That said, Indians are relatively unproven and the latest Project Rushmore Harleys are a vast improvement, so it's close.

From the walkthrough: (Spoilers!! scan over to read)
"She orders you to find an anchor, some dynamite and some pirate sails. Leave the cave and follow the shore south to a chest, which contains the anchor. Dynamite can be found in a chest in one of the Seri buildings. The sails can be purchased from a merchant in the Seri marketplace (he will not sell them to you until Ava asks for them). "

The headline: The Phillies are the proud owners of a new right fielder. Hunter Pence is coming to Philly in exchange for Jonathan Singleton and Jarred Cosart, as well as a couple of players to be named later.
The buzz: Minor league pitcher Josh Zeid is one of the players to be named later that is heading to the Astros, according to Jim Salisbury. Zeid was a 10th-round pick in 2009. He is 2-3 with a 5.65 ERA in 21 games (11 starts) for Reading. Bob Brookover offers a quickie scouting report on the 24-year-old right-hander. Jayson Stark reports that Houston is sending Philly some cash in the deal as well, likely to help the Phils stay below the luxury tax threshold. Jon Heyman has sources that say the cash is $1 million. Heyman also says that the Phillies refused to include Cosart in a trade for Carlos Beltran. He notes that the Mets weren't particularly high on Cosart in the first place. Meanwhile, Randy Miller tweets - and I'm not sure if this is a joke - that Ed Wade actually preferred Zeid to Domonic Brown in the deal. He could have had Brown and turned him down in favor of a 24-year-old Double-A pitcher with a Baezian ERA.
The game: A mere footnote on this night, but the Phillies snapped their brief two-game skid with a 10-3 victory over the Pirates. Roy Halladay allowed one hit in seven scoreless innings to become the NL's first 13-game winner. Chase Utley tripled, homered and singled in the first three innings but was unable to complete the Phillies' first cycle since David Bell in 2004. Jimmy Rollins chipped in a two-run homer, while Shane Victorino singled, doubled and tripled in a winning effort.
Next up: Cliff Lee (9-7, 3.05) takes on the Pirates on Saturday evening. He will be opposed by James McDonald (7-4, 3.95), who should expect to face Hunter Pence at some point in the first two innings.

On April 9, the Times ran a surprising story by Anne Midgette, "Dissonant Thoughts on the Music Pulitzers," in which John Adams, who had received the award for On the Transmigration of Souls, expressed astonishment at winning, and ambivalence bordering on contempt. The prize, he said, has "lost much of the prestige it still carries in other fields," because "most of the country's greatest musical minds" are ignored, "often in favor of academy composers." He singled out the Pulitzer's neglect of mavericks, composer-performers, and "especially" the "great jazz composers." His point was not surprising; that a recipient made it was. He had said aloud what countless American composers grumble privately every year, most of them shy of going public and courting accusations of sour grapes.
In 1967, when Edward Albee won a makeup Pulitzer for A Delicate Balance, he said that friends urged him to refuse it; in 1963, the drama jury had chosen to present no award rather than acknowledge Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. In effect, Albee argued that his dissent would have more meaning as a winner. As he went on to win more Pulitzers, if he contested them at all, he kept it quiet. Adams took a nervy stand, opening himself to allegations of biting the hand that massaged him. Not many winners have publicly questioned the process since Sinclair Lewis spurned the prize in 1926 (as well he should, Arrowsmith having beaten The Great Gatsby, though that wasn't his reason). And Adams loosened other lips. John Corigliano, the 2001 winner, told Midgette, "The Pulitzer was originally intended to be for a work that is going to last, to mean something to the world. It changed into another kind of award completely: by composers for composers"mired, he added, in a pool of rotating jurors.
The Pulitzer Prizes, launched with a fourth of Joseph Pulitzer's $2 million bequest to create the Columbia University School of Journalism, began presenting laurels in journalism and literature in 1917. The music prize was instituted in 1943, the year of Ellington's Black, Brown and Beige; the prize, however, went to William Schuman's A Free Song, a respectable choice by an important composer who was already a magnet for prizes. In the jazz world, the Pulitzer is shrugged off as just another establishment club (from the Grammys to the Kennedy Center Honors) that routinely ignores composers working in the idiom that most consistently and articulately proclaims "America" to the rest of the world. Yet many civilians are amazed to learn that in its 60 years, the Pulitzer has never acknowledged a single figure in popular music and only once gave the nod to a jazz workWynton Marsalis's Blood on the Fields, in 1997. Gunther Schuller and Mel Powell have also won, but for pieces entirely unconnected to their jazz work.
The most celebrated pas de deux between the Pulitzers and jazz occurred in 1965, when the jury unanimously voted to override the standard rule of honoring a single work premiered the previous year, in order to hail Duke Ellington for his lifetime achievement. The jury, to its dismay, was overruled by the advisory board, which chose to present no award that year. A Pulitzer spokesman later argued that the single-work rule could not be broken; but if they had wanted to make things right at the time, they could have given it to Ellington the next year for the premiere of his masterpiece, Far East Suiteor for several subsequent suites debuted before his death in 1974.
Yet had the advisory board acknowledged any of those works, it would have done little more than apply a Band-Aid to a triple bypass. The real problem went to the heart of Pulitzer politics: It was the rule itself. The jury that desired to honor Ellington understood something about indigenous American musicit is different; it plays a different game. The board would look foolish giving it to one new song by Bob Dylan or one typical concert by Sonny Rollins. The congregate achievement is almost always what counts. Lester Young was a great composer not because of his riff tunes, but because he created a new and inspired canvas in American music; as instantly recognizable as an Aaron Copland ballet, Young's canvas was as amorphous as Leaves of Grass, his every improvisation another leaf, some greener than others, all part of one visionary achievement. It is easy to retrospectively find jazz compositions that ought to have been recognized within the constraints of the Pulitzer rulebook, but to say that A Love Supreme is eligible, and not the composer's lifework, is to force jazz to conform to the very 19th-century Eurocentric model it supplanted. Similarly, Irving Berlin or Woody Guthrie's songbooks are not only more popular than Pulitzer compositions, they also come far closer to answering Corigliano's call for "work that is going to last, to mean something to the world."
The Pulitzer is not averse to Band-Aids. It has a separate category called Special Awards and Citations, which has, in 73 years of occasional prize-giving, acknowledged three pop or jazz figures: Scott Joplin in 1976 (59 years after his death), George Gershwin in 1998 (61 years after his death), and Duke Ellington in 1999 (25 years after his death). The Ellington presentation was made "in recognition of his musical genius, which evoked aesthetically the principles of democracy through the medium of jazz and thus made an indelible contribution to art and culture." In short, it was a lifetime achievement award. And that's the right idea. The trick is to present the award while the recipient is breathing, and in the Music category proper, not in a remedial "duh" division. Ironically, on the one occasion when the board approved a jazz award, the jury played a shell game with its chief edict, recognizing a 1997 "premiere" at Yale University, although the work had been recorded in 1995.
