Zuma triggers crisis by refusing ANC's exit order
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AFP) — South Africa braced Tuesday for a major political showdown as scandal-tainted President Jacob Zuma rejected a direct order from the ruling ANC party to leave office.
The power struggle over Zuma's departure put the president at loggerheads with Cyril Ramaphosa, his expected successor, who is the new head of the African National Congress.
The party's powerful 107-member national executive committee (NEC) met for 13 hours at a hotel outside Pretoria, and decided in the early hours of Tuesday to "recall" Zuma from his post.
Ramaphosa and Ace Magashule, the party's secretary-general, had personally delivered a request for Zuma to resign to the president's official residence in Pretoria at about midnight.
But Zuma "was very arrogant. He told them he was not going anywhere as he did nothing wrong," an unnamed ANC committee member told the Mail and Guardian newspaper.
"He told them if the ANC issued a statement on its decision to recall him, he will retaliate."
Another committee member told AFP that Zuma's response was "hogwash" and that the president had asked for three more months in office.
"We just felt he meant three months of looting," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity as he confirmed that the meeting had demanded Zuma's resignation.,p> The ANC — which was once led by anti-apartheid struggle leader Nelson Mandela — reportedly gave Zuma 48 hours to step down.
ANC officials were not reachable Tuesday, but the party called a press conference for 2:00 pm (1200 GMT) at its headquarters in Johannesburg.
The ANC can "recall" the head of state, essentially forcing him to resign, but the process is a party-level instruction and he is under no constitutional obligation to obey.
If he refuses, Zuma would then likely be ousted via a parliamentary vote of no-confidence within days.
Ramaphosa, the de facto president-in-waiting, has been in deadlocked negotiations with Zuma, who first dismissed a request from party leaders to resign more than a week ago.
The stalemate has plunged South Africa — Africa's most developed economy — into uncertainty over who is running the country, with a series of public events cancelled last week including the annual State of the Nation address to parliament.
"We know you want this matter to be finalised," Ramaphosa, 65, told a party rally in Cape Town on Sunday to loud cheers.
"We know you want closure... Because our people want this matter to be finalised, the NEC will be doing precisely that."
South African opposition parties have called for early elections as the ANC's leadership battle grinds on.
An opposition request for a no-confidence vote against Zuma, 75, this week was still being considered by the parliamentary Speaker.
Zuma's presidency has been marred by corruption scandals, slow economic growth and record unemployment that have fuelled public anger.
He was scheduled to stand down next year after serving the maximum two terms after coming to power in 2009.
"I think Jacob Zuma is almost daring the ANC to remove him through a motion of no confidence because he knows that would be damaging for unity in the party," analyst Abdul Waheed Patel told AFP.
In 2008, Zuma's supporters pushed out then-president Thabo Mbekivia a "recall" over allegations of abuse of power.
In local polls in 2016, the ANC recorded its worst electoral result since coming to power with Mandela at the helm in 1994 when white-minority rule fell.
The party faces a tricky general election next year.
Ramaphosa is a former trade unionist and Mandela ally who led talks to end apartheid in the early 1990s and then became a multi-millionaire businessman before returning to politics.
Zuma's hold over the ANC was shaken in December when his chosen successor — his former wife Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma — narrowly lost to Ramaphosa in a vote to be the new party leader.
The ANC has insisted there will be no delay to the budget speech, which is due on February 21.

Tonight is the season finale for Turn on AMC, and the episode is called The Battle of Setauket. It is sure to be an action-packed show, and some, but not likely all, questions from earlier episodes will be resolved. Turn on AMC has not gotten as high of ratings as AMC had hoped — last week, just 1.17 million viewers tuned in to watch the episode, Against Thy Neighbor — so it is uncertain if the show will return for a second season.
In the last episode of Turn on AMC, Against Thy Neighbor, Major Richard Hewlett (Burn Gorman) issued a decree that the Setauket residents shall surrender their firearms. Reverend Nathaniel Tallmadge, father of Major Benjamin Tallmadge, was not happy about this, and told Hewlett that the church was once his. Later in the episode, Nathaniel Tallmadge tells tavern patrons that the British took their church, their headstones, and now their guns.
Simcoe had Nathaniel Tallmadge arrested, claiming that he is the one who shot Richard Woodhull. Major Hewlett tells Abe the evidence points to Tallmadge as the sniper, though Abe doesn't believe this at all, as he knows that Simcoe has it in for him, and Ben Tallmadge is his friend and fellow conspirator in the Culper ring.
Major Hewlett is given the petition Simcoe has drawn up listing possible names of rebels on it, and he tells Simcoe to arrest everyone on it. Richard, badly wounded, can't serve as the magistrate in the trial, so Abe offers to take his place as the magistrate in prosecuting the rebels.
Abe interrogates the elderly Brewster, the uncle of his friend, Caleb, knowing that he is actually getting the onlookers to sympathize with Brewster. Afterward, he interrogates Nathaniel Tallmadge, and insinuates that he became resentful of his father, Richard, after his congregation left the church. Abe pretends to struggle with loading Nathaniel Tallmadge's gun, and Simcoe comes over to assist. Simcoe then realizes that the bullet that was used to shoot Richard couldn't have been fired from Nathaniel's rifle. The bullet doesn't fit the rifle at all.
Abe is hoping that Major Hewlett will show mercy on the people whose names are on the petition, especailly as it's now apparent that the bullet which hit his father was not fired from Nathaniel's rifle. The "mercy" that Hewlett suggests is sentencing everyone whose name is on the list to 10 years aboard a prison ship. At the end of the episode, Abe and Mary's son, Thomas, stumbles across the trap door which, as Mary finds out, hides the codebook that Abe was given to use as a spy in the Culper Ring.
In tonight's episode of Turn on AMC, Mary has a hard time coming to terms with the fact that Abe has been leading a double life and is a spy. Also, Ben and Caleb have been given the responsibility of leading a raid on the town of Setauket.
Turn on AMC opened with Mary staring into a fireplace and lighting a candle. She reads out loud from the codebook, the names of spies and the numbers used to represent them.
Caleb and Benjamin talk about their next move, and how to prevent their fathers and all of the other people whose names are on the petition from being sentenced to 10 years aboard the prison ship.
Mary tells Abe that she's afraid, afraid of the traitor who is still lurking around who shot his father. Abe tells her that Captain Simcoe used an accomplice to shoot his father. Mary doesn't believe him, but then says if she went to Hewlett, and told him the truth, Abe would be hung as a traitor.
Mary accuses Abe of sleeping with another woman. He tries to prove that he still loves Mary, by making love to her. He says: "This is still my house," and she tells him "Prove it." They then make love to each other, and Turn on AMC goes to the first commercial break of the evening.
Meanwhile, the boy who saw Ben Tallmadge and the rest of the men he led reports to Simcoe what he saw. Simcoe has the men whose names are on the list strung up by their wrists to rafters, but then has them cut down so that Ben can see his father hung. One of the men whose name is on the list gets his neck put in the noose; he says "by whose orders" is this happening? Simcoe tells him "Mine," and proceeds to have him hanged by the neck.
Ben Tallmadge and his soldiers come riding up, too late to save the man who Simcoe had hanged. Simcoe has taken the other men he was about to have hung, into the church, to use as hostages. Mr. Strong walks up to Anna and kisses her, much to her surprise. She has believed that her husband had died aboard the prison ship.
Major Ben Tallmadge and Caleb notice that it's true that some of the town's gravestones have been ripped up. Hewlett tells Simcoe that "I cannot abide" having the prisoners executed. He doesn't appear happy with Simcoe, and tells him "You secured the prisoner, but not the powder." They get their cannons ready, and Hewlett tells the men that they can "fire when ready."
Mr. Strong is angry that Anna was forced to sell the tavern. The man she sold it to tells him to "take it up with the judge."
Richard walks up, still wounded an not fully recovered. Benjamin tells Mr. Strong that Hewlett has them in his sites. He tells Mr. Strong that they will take the church back. Abe says that "You will never take the garrison."
Benjamin tells Mary: "I seem to remember your husband as being a much quieter man."
When Turn on AMC comes back from another commercial break, Hewlett is searching through his spyglass for reinforcements. Simcoe tells him that he seems to be doing fine without them, and then, the Continental Army opens fire on them. Simcoe uses the prisoners as a barricade. Abe tells Benjamin that Simcoe will kill all of the prisoners, and Hewlett will never surrender.
Benjamin tells Abe that "You are the perfect man to deliver our terms," as his father is also held at the church. Abe tells Ben, in a barn, that "there were no hangings, until you showed up."
Benjamin tells Anna "Your husband is alive because my brother is dead." He adds that "This raid is famliy business." Abe tells Ben to inform Washington that his "precious Mr. Culpepper is finished."
Abe walks up to the church holding a white flag in his hand. He tells Simcoe and Hewlett that there are "more than 60 but less than 100" Continental Army soldiers in place outside.
Richard asks him "What are their terms?"
Abe tells Simcoe and Hewlett that they will withdraw from the field, if the 8 prisoners are exchanged. Simcoe says that it will be showing a "weakness." Simcoe takes Brewster's elderly uncle outside of the church, in front of everyone there, and shoots him, yelling out at the same time. Blood splatters are on his face.
Caleb runs up, but Ben tackles him before he can get very far. Hewlett has Simcoe restrained and gagged. He says that they will have to "fight to the death now."
Instead, Richard tells him that if the prisoners are released, they might end any further violence. Caleb breaks free and approaches the church, as the prisoners walk out, free men. They carry the body of Caleb's father with them. Ben Tallmadge tells Abe to express his thanks to Hewlett. Abe tells him in a soft voice that his name will now by "Culper" not "Culpepper." He has decided to continue being a spy.
Hewlett, looking through his spyglass again, finally sees the approach of a ship, though the reinforcements have arrived too late. Nathaniel and his son, Benjamin, embrace each other. Then, Benjamin departs, along with his men, Mr. Strong with them. Anna is aboard with her husband, but jumps out, to instead stay in Setauket with Abe, who goes out into the water to help her out.
When Turn on AMC comes back from a commercial break, Major John Andre and Robert Rogers are discussing Rogers' insubordination at the last prisoner exchange. Rogers tells him that he's always had it in for him, and he says he refuses to have any man tell him his business. Andre tells him that the people Rogers commanded have been given a new leader now. Rogers says that they won't obey anyone else but him.
Rogers tells him, laughing, "What goes up must come down."
Back in Setauket, Mary asks Abe "How's your father?" He answers "He's safe at home."
He asks her if she's all right, and she tells him she's "tired." Abe goes to his hiding place, where he usually hides the codebook, and sees that the it is no longer there. When he returns to where Mary is, she is burning the book in the fireplace. He yells at her that he didn't know that Major Tallmadge was coming.
Baker walks in, and says he always seems to walk in when he's not wanted. Baker tells him that "You may be a person who commits treason, but I can't be." Baker is about to get his gun ready, but Abe shoots and kills him. Mary makes up a story about how Baker died, trying to protect the house from the rebels. Though she doesn't like what her husband did, she is willing to lie to protect his life. She tells Ben to go get Thomas, and then she lights fire to the house with a candle, with Baker, dead, inside.
That scene marked the very dramatic ending of Turn on AMC The Battle of Setauket. It would be great to see Turn on AMC continue on for a second season, but if it is picked up, it will be despite very lackluster ratings. Some fans have blamed the low ratings on a seeming lack of AMC to publicize Turn very much. Perhaps, if the ratings had been initially higher, AMC would have thought it worth it to publicize the show more. Still, whatever the case might be, with luck — and if enough fans of Turn on AMC maybe email their support of the show to the network — it will return next season.

We watched Boyhood last night, a movie that so beautifully follows a boy growing up. Of course, we couldn't stop thinking about Benjamin and our own parenting. It's a movie that really makes you think about the impact of small words and conversations throughout a kid's life. As if our parenting culture isn't already stupidly obsessed with overthinking parenting. (Here is my preferred list.)
In reference to that first article though, the one thing I would actually take to heart is #1: "Great Job." However true the author's rationale may be (let's encourage the development of internal motivation by reducing generic external praise), my real reason for trying to banish "good/great job" is this: it gets so stinking old and exhausting to constantly say it. There are times in the day where I could be tossing out a "good job" (or the lazier version: "goooood") every 30 seconds and it becomes a bit mind numbing. It takes a bit more brainpower to think of specific affirmations, but it's way more fun!
As with any toddler, Ben is making leaps and bounds in development every single day. Today he found John's tennis rackets and decided to take up the sport.
NOTE: You did not catch me saying "Good Job" in that video. (Oops!) Oh, and to explain Ben's immediate fall from happiness into a tantrum: well… 1. he is a toddler, but 2. he is battling double ear infections (sad!) and has been falling apart at the drop of a hat all weekend. Poor guy!)
This was at 6 months old (ish): Right-handed Baby Federer
And here he is now at almost 20 months: Lefty Toddler Nadal?
We'll see which hand he picks as time goes on, but I think secretly John is praying that he is left-handed (and 6'3″ of course). That would certainly help him meet our expectation of winning at least a few Grand Slams in his career. haha!

At the annual meeting of the American Bar Association in August, judge William C. Carpenter, Jr. of the Superior Court of Delaware was elected chair of the National Conference of State Trial Judges (NCSTJ). The NCSTJ is the oldest and largest organization of general jurisdiction state trial judges in the nation. It acts as an advocate for issues affecting trial judges nationwide and represents their interests within the American Bar Association. The NCSTJ also provides a national forum for judges to exchange information on common issues and concerns and will assist and collaborate with other legal entities to address those issues. In accepting the position judge Carpenter stated "This is a critical time for many courts throughout the country with reduction in funding and attacks by groups who believe a court is ruling inconsistent with their political, religious or social beliefs. As such, the mission of the conference will be to not only improve the administration of justice but to promote the public's understanding of our judicial system to ensure that the third branch of our government remains independent and is free to rule fairly and impartially."
Judge Carpenter is the first Delaware judge to hold this leadership position, and his chairmanship will continue through the summer of 2013. His election also results in a unique situation where Delaware judges now lead two of the largest and most influential judicial conferences in the country. Chief Justice Myron T. Steele is the chair of the National Conference of Chief Justices and judge Carpenter is chair of the National Conference of State Trial Judges.

General Motors (NYSE:GM) launched a series of new television ads during the Winter Olympics. Most were about what you'd expect -- unremarkable, except for that one Cadillac ad.
If you've seen it, you know the one I'm talking about. It's the one in which actor Neal McDonough walks swiftly through a big house extolling the virtues of America, before going out front and getting into a Cadillac ELR.
If you haven't seen it, take a look:
Wow, huh? If Cadillac's goal is to get people talking about their brand, this ad has certainly done its job.
Critics everywhere are reacting, most with something close to rage. Kimberly Weisul at Inc. magazine derided it for "celebrating the unending, joyless pursuit of stuff" and called it a great ad -- for Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA).
The Huffington Post's Carolyn Gregoire called it a "nightmare" and said, "There are plenty of things to celebrate about being American, but being possessed by a blind mania for working yourself into the ground, buying more stuff, and mocking people in other countries just isn't one of them."
And ad critic Mark "Copyranter" Duffy snarked it for not focusing on the car, which makes an almost incidental appearance at the end.
Tough talk all around. Did GM make an epic mistake with this ad?
I don't think so.
I just think these critics don't understand what GM is trying to accomplish with this ad.
Cadillac is facing an interesting marketing challenge
Let's back up for a second.
GM is in the midst of a long-term effort to turn Cadillac into a legit global peer to German luxury brands like BMW (NASDAQOTH:BAMXF) and Mercedes-Benz. This is a major corporate priority. It's driven by sound financial considerations, and investors should view it as a very good thing. (Read why here.)
This effort has been going on for several years and will go on for several years more. But right now, it's at a point where GM -- Cadillac -- has an interesting marketing problem.
Here's the thing: The latest Cadillacs are great. The new CTS sedan is Motor Trend's Car of the Year, and it's beating BMW and Mercedes in comparison tests. The ATS did much the same when it came out a year and a half ago. And the all-new Escalade that's coming out shortly has moved far past its bling-y origins and turned into a stunning luxury vehicle.
(I know that sounds crazy, but trust me, I've seen it and sat in it. I'm not an SUV guy, but the new Escalade is a really, really nice luxury SUV.)
Cadillac, in other words, has finally reached product parity with the best from Germany -- at least with its newest products. Getting there was an enormous challenge.
But now they have another big challenge: getting BMW and Mercedes and Audi customers to give them a chance.
Dear critics: This ad isn't about you
See, there's this whole class of American car-buyers (most of whom are successful professional men) who won't even consider a non-German car. I know several guys like that. Maybe you do, too.
The problem is that Cadillac has the products, but they don't yet have the brand clout. The guys at the country club won't be impressed by a CTS the way they'll be impressed by an Audi A6, or so goes the conventional wisdom.
As I see it, this ad is talking to those guys.
This ad is saying: "Hey, dudes, what's your problem with American cars? What's your problem with America?" (And I think it's saying it pretty well: The line about leaving the keys in the moon rover was just brilliant. Give that writer a raise.)
This ad isn't about the Cadillac ELR that appears briefly at the end. It's about the idea that real luxury cars, good luxury cars, have to come from overseas brands.
Cadillac is saying that they deserve a closer look. And whether you love or hate this ad, they have a pretty strong case.
What do you think? Is the ad a fun, effective one? Or has GM made a huge mistake here? Scroll down to leave a comment and let me know.

Topic Area: Bicycles as Transportation Policy

Focal Question: Can bicycles become a viable form of transportation?

Reviewer: Rush Hambleton, Colby College Ô97
Through necessity, Japan has adopted the bicycle as a essential component of transportation. The island nationÕs limited geography, high density and lack of petroleum makes it an ideal location for small, efficient bicycles. The destruction of JapanÕs infrastructure during the second world war forced citizens to employ non-motorized means of transportation until the nationÕs high speed railways were developed in the 1950Õs. With renewed infrastructure in place, the Japanese were quick to reject bicycling and its post-war reconstruction connotations and took to riding collector busses to and from railway stations. The bus system began to be overburdened in the late 1960Õs and riders began to find the system slow, expensive and inconvenient.
The disincentives of bus travel and surging environmental concerns associated with motorized travel initiated a shift in public opinion in favor of bicycling and bike ownership began to grow at 10% annually . Bicycles inundated railway stations and caused a bike pollution problem, inciting the Ministry of Transportation and Ministry of Construction to take action and build 22,000 bicycle parking spaces in 1973. Japanese bike ownership doubled between 1975 and 1977, demanding additional construction projects in 1978.
The Japanese government recognized that bike travel was favorable to other modes of transport for many reasons. Biking requires no petroleum and cyclists consume only 32 calories per mile compared to automobilesÕ 1,800 cal/mi demand. CyclistsÕ respiration contribute a scant 2 grams of carbon dioxide per passenger mile, while single-occupancy automobile emits 85 CO2 grams per mile (Lowe 1989). On the road, eight cyclists can occupy the space needed for one automobile and when stopped, twenty bikes can be parked where there is space for just one automobile (Allen 1994). These advantages prompted the government to consider other ways to promote bike travel including considerable urban design changes and the addition of 37,000 miles of bike/pedestrian pathways during the 1970Õs. From an energy, pollution and density standpoint, the bicycle is more efficient than any other mode of short-trip travel. Because commuters are reluctant to pedal more than about four miles, railway stations are located near residential areas so that commuters will be willing to pedal to the nearest train stop; innovations in high-density bicycle parking offers travelers in the busiest stations safe, fully-automated mechanical storage facilities. Construction of the most expensive facilities cost $2,000 per bike, compared to $4,000 to $18,000 for a single automobile parking space in the United States (Replogle 1992). Japanese investments in bicycle infrastructure are offset by savings in subsidized bus systems as bicycle growth has surpassed bus ridership growth; at some railway stations, more than 50% of commuters arrive by bike.
The Ministry of Transportation has developed an elaborate bike rental system coordinated with the rail systems. Japanese travelers purchase a card granting them unlimited bike rental for a month; this allows people to ride a bike to the station near their home, surrender it there and take another from the station nearest their workplace. The identical, lime-green bikes have a built in lock, bell, light and basket for parcels; their uniformity enables extremely high density storage.
Personal Activity
Business Travel
In order for bicycles to be accepted as a mode of transportation,
the atmosphere for cycling must be appropriate. The Japanese have
effectively discouraged automobile use with high ownership costs; in
the capital city of Tokyo, automobile registration averages $1,000 a
year; parking fines can be as high as $1,500; gasoline costs 3.1
times the U.S. rate and tolls on a sixty-mile trip can cost $60.
These costs reflect unsubsidized automobile use (as opposed to the
U.S.Õs highly subsidized system) and JapanÕs historic
aversion to resource-consuming, pollution-emitting vehicles.
Urban planning encourages bicycle use by adopting traffic calming techniques to intentionally slow down and discourage automobile use. The community street method involves turning straight streets into meandering, narrow passageways dotted with trees and Òvest pocket parksÓ. Intersections may have irregular surfaces or large humps or even have Òdiagonal divertersÓ to Òprevent easy passageÓ (quoted from Japanese urban planning guides). These arrangements in residential and commercial areas have garnered 90% approval ratings from citizens. Automobile traffic slowed to 5 to 7 mph and reduced by 40%, and bicycle traffic increased by 54% in front of their homes and businesses when community streets are used in favor of traditional roads. More severe are the traffic cells, which prohibit personal automobiles near city centers, reducing traffic death rates by 58%, and cutting automobile-related pollutants by 16%.
The consequences of the bicycle-intensive transportation system in Japan is favorable. Over 80% of Japanese households own at least one bike, and the national average is 1.42 bike per household. High non-motorized mode share has lowered Japanese per capita fuel consumption to 10% of AmericansÕ.
The future is not as encouraging as the past. Overall bicycle mode share is falling. Rising incomes threatens bicycle usage as Japanese commuters are increasingly able to afford expensive automobiles. Despite their previous expenditures, the Japanese government seems uncommitted to future expansion of bicycling infrastructure and they are likely to enhance their nationÕs automobile infrastructure if possible (Replogle, 1997). It seems that their history of sustainable transportation may have been only a temporary measure, forestalling their current move to energy-depleting and pollution-causing mechanized transportation.

Aetna is withdrawing from the individual major medical market. They will no longer issue new policies and the status of existing policies cannot be determined. Aetna will probably renew those plans, or they may (at their option) simply non-renew.
This announcement impacts Indiana clients at this time but there is no reason to believe it will not extend to other states including Georgia.
They will continue to offer coverage through AARP.
Aetna has been a flaky carrier all along in this market so this comes as no surprise. Last year in Georgia they raised rates on some policyholders three times in a matter of months.
If you live in Georgia and have Aetna health insurance you should consider switching coverage now while you still can.
Georgia Insurance Shop can show you affordable plans with other health insurance companies that fit your needs and budget.

This is, however, a mere hoax plotted by his "mother" Petronella, a witch craving for the title of queen. Mistaking Amalberga for Ludwig, he bears an extreme hatred towards him for most of the series, but it is actually revealed that he fell madly in love with him some times prior to the beginning of the story. Wielder of some potent witchcraft, he is allowed to stay under Ludwig's protection in the end.

By Chuck LeGros
I recently found myself on a befuddled expedition through the streets of State College with a few close friends. In many ways it was an eye opening experience. There are certain life lessons one can only learn from giant ukulele players, late night games of "Apples to Apples," and terrible alcohol. On the ride home the next day I had a chance to re-read some poetry ("Red Lights for Weary Eyes" and "From A Diner on Wood Street: Musings In Three Movements" both from 174 Publishing) by William James (not the pragmatist William James, who, at least as far as I know, wasn't that into verse). James, a failed guitarist from Clarion, Pennsylvania, discovered a love for a furious breed of poetry in his mid twenties and it was through this poetry that he began to, as he says, "quiet the restlessness in his head," a restlessness which thickly coats the often despairing ink webs that flow from his type bars.
I was faced with an immediate problem however—James, a frequent to the world of Slam Poetry—appears to prefer his poetry be listened to and not read. His frantic vocal energy breathes a second life into the words found hanging on the page. I had no choice however; I was given his typed thoughts and not his voice, and would have to participate accordingly.
I opened the cardstock cover of the first collection—"Red Lights for Weary Eyes," it's separated into three sections –"from 'FAILURE SONGS,'" "from 'TIRED HEARTS/BRUISED BRAINS,'" and "ON THE ROAD: PERFORMANCE POEMS." The audience is welcomed by a brief prelude to the work; it's short, witty, and signed XOXO. It is past this page when we begin our descent into James' mind, reeling through the ranting which makes up his apparent stream-of-conscience style. I say ranting because there's no noticeable meter or structure in any of the poems.
Though James' rich and zealous inspiration often adds to the excited voice flowing through poems, it also proves an occasional hurdle to the value of the work. The excitement and zeal often lead to a reoccurring recklessness. One way this recklessness manifests itself is in clogged lines, an example of which may be seen in Coagulate, where James writes as follows in the sixth stanza—
Some would stare at the midnight sky
to wish on shooting falling stars.
There appears little reason for the redundancy in the second line, save for lax editing. Further, in regards to recklessness, the occasional use of clichés also interrupts the mood which James painstakingly works to create. In Epiphanies James boldly proclaims he is just dying to feel alive. Later he takes a leaf out of Nietzsche's book in the poem You Too Shall Have Exoskeleton with the end of the second stanza—
And as we danced, the whole world laughed,
for they could not hear the music that we made.
The content of the poems themselves is intriguing. The scared, screaming voice which imbues James's writing is akin to something in a crashing Max Bemus ballad with tinges of the confessional anguish of Conor Oberst's "Bright Eyes" (both artists are, to me, but a gene shy from the Slam Poet breed) James, however, misses both marks on most every occasion. There is a certain lack of measured eloquence and an occasional dependence on abstraction that further block James' art from blooming to its full potential.
There are those roughly hewn gems though, those gems which are glimmering ever brighter with focus, clarity, and an understandable emotional drive. Such as Somewhere, which is quite near the lucidity that comes with a good poem. It's words are a tragic mess of realism that come together beautifully to paint a vivid picture of lost innocence.
It was after all of this observation that I finally read "From a Diner on Wood Street: Musings in Three Movements."
It is beautiful.
It took me about ten minutes to read the book front to back. I'll say this before I go further—I wish that the authors note had either been severely abridged or eliminated completely. I don't need something as trivial as that after I had gone through the work that built this wonderful construct of complex emotion. It was, for me, optimistic. I felt something not so different from what Barthes' felt when he saw Clifford's "Alhambra," as Barthes says "it is quite simply there that I should like to live"—even if only for a moment, a month, or a year. This is an understandable tale, something clear and unique; it is something that I can and will read again. There is no bravado in it, no abstraction, just an honest moment of expressive realization. This is where James flourishes, this observation of the life, necessity and steadiness that exists around and inside of the Wood Street Diner. It allows me to see something that I needed to see, something I now know which I didn't before. It takes no great anthology or epic ode for James' thoughts to be given justice, it takes seven pages.
William James' work can be purchased from 174 Publishing and Distribution.

Ministry of Sound, London, United Kingdom
Ministry Of Sound is a world famous super-club that remains a stalwart of the London clubbing experience. With four bars, five separate rooms, three DJ booths and three huge dance-floors, Ministry of Sound is definitely one for the clubbing enthusiast.
Ministry Of Sound's famous London club constantly hosts their key DJs, Radio 1 nights, their Saturdays and Smoove nights, as well as endless numbers of local and international guests.
Despite the lack of lager and fearsome location people arrived in droves. Within a matter of weeks word had spread that something special had landed smack in the middle of London's nightlife. This was the first club dedicated to House music, the first club inspired by rave's 'summer of love' and most importantly the world's first ever club with a dedicated room built purely for sound.
To this day, sound is what epitomises Ministry of Sound and all we stand for. As we spread the dance music gospel around the world you can experience the essence of what we do but there's nothing quite like standing in the middle of the club's main room (The Box). Towering speaker stacks, several mega-zillion watts of bass, triple thick sound absorbing walls and even humidity sensors in the ceiling adjusting EQ levels as the temperature rises. Play here as a DJ and this is Madison Square Garden. Dance here and this is the Nou Camp – put simply, there is no better place on Earth to hear and feel the world's greatest DJ's play the world's best music.
Fast-forward to today. The importance of super hi-fi sound has not diminished and neither has the passion for dance music in all its forms. But as pioneers of dance, whether it's the music or culture variety, we're keener than ever to preach our dance music mantra across the planet.
In 1991 you had to be here to experience the euphoria – today, whether you're listening, watching, wearing, downloading or browsing anything Ministry of Sound one thing remains true – the best music and the best sound bar none.

A Refreshing Wine Makes a Soave Comeback
Soave -- a white wine made in Northern Italy -- was mostly famous known for being boring and bland. But the bright, sometimes minerally, wine is having a comeback with a range of new, affordable offerings from a group of devoted producers.

EC starts case against CPI(M) MP for making derogatory remarks
The Election Commission (EC) has started a suo motu case against CPI(M) MP Md Salim for making derogatory remarks while addressing a election rally at Labhpur in Birbhum on Thursday.
A senior official at the Chief Electoral Office (CEO) said that after examining the video footages the commission has initiated a suo motu case against Selim. Selim while addressing a gathering at Labhpur said that they would seek answers for every single drop of blood of their party supporters.
"We will seek answers for every single drop of blood of our martyrs. Surjya Kanta Mishra said there would be no revenge. But I am not Surjya Mishra. We will seek answers from the dacoits, looters of public money and the killer of our every single party workers," Selim said.
He said that they would take revenge if his party is voted to power. He also mentioned that they don't want change, instead revenge would be the word that they were all looking for.
Selim referred to the killing of some of their party activity who he claimed, had been killed at hands of Trinamool Congress goons in Labhpur earlier this month.
Anubrata Mondal, Trinamool Congress district president in Birbhum on Thursday said that Selim had lost his mind and which is why he was making such irresponsible comments.
A senior official at the CEO office has stated that entire matter is under the consideration of the Commission. They were looking into the issue.

You scream but no voice comes.
You speak but fail to talk.
You read but don't absorb.
You lecture on peace but your mind is at war.
You want to hate someone but you end up smiling on his face.
You die to talk to someone inside but you don't ping them first.
You want to love someone but you don't have time to be loved.
You want to do what your heart says but end up following your mind.
You want to say something even when you know nobody would actually care.
You have many friends but actually you don't have any friend.
It was a free verse but in a rhyme it will end.

Observations From the Sand
Saturday, July 15th, 2006 • 1 Comment on Observations From the Sand
—There are two kinds of people who go to the beach: those who turn their beach chairs to get the best sun exposure and those who turn their chairs to get the best view.
—Despite the fact that it only rains for five minutes at a time in St. Thomas, people who are still wet from the ocean will scramble to gather their possessions and run indoors.
—An ocean view can change a dozen times a day depending on the light. Sometimes it's inviting… sometimes it's ominous.
—Children and old people seem to experience the same kind of pure joy when they're swimming in the ocean.
—The sound of the waves has a slow, steady rhythm that can lull you to sleep.
—Napping on the beach is pure decadence, but it's better to move to the shade of a palm tree before falling asleep.
—There is a disproportionate number of mid-to-late fifties men vacationing with thirtyish year old women here. I have no idea why.
—Palm trees and other tropical plants not only survive in the harshest of conditions, they find a way to thrive.
—It's easy to become territorial away from home. The beach becomes my beach, the palm tree becomes my palm tree. Bitch.
—Everything moves slower on an island. I think even my heart rate has slowed down. I know my brain has.

Bottom Line
Located in D.C.'s historic Georgetown neighborhood, this five-pearl Four Seasons consistently hits high notes. Its 222 guest rooms are chic, understated, and spacious, decked out in an array of modern amenities and fine art from the hotel's own collection. Features are top-notch, with state-of-the-art machines in the tri-level fitness center with a saline lap pool as well as a full service spa. Dining options include a Michael Mina steak house, wine bar, and a breakfast restaurant that draws D.C. VIPs. The hotel is Georgetown's top luxury option and one of the best in the city, but travelers seeking something closer to the main sights might want to check out the Jefferson or the Hay-Adams.

I have a question for you, I used your iwebkit to design a website that is more easily accessible to use for ipods and other devices. I want to put it on our server however I am not sure how to do that seeing we already have one website that is for the college I work for. I want the device to be able to read what website goes to what. In other words I, I want the school's regular site to be viewed via a computer but if an individual is using a ipod device I want the other site (iwebkit site) to show up. I am not sure how to do that. I don't know if there is any code that is needed to communicate with each device and then provide the correct website or if it does it automatically. Could you help? I've have been searching for tutorial but I have found nothing.

"Everybody I have spoken with is thrilled with the re-opening of Balmoral Park. For me, being back here is very Déjà vu since my Grandpa, Woody Stephens, raced flats here, back in the day. There's even a part of the track called 'Half Mile Barn' where he and I used to walk with the horses when I was 8-years-old. The Stabling, is absolutely amazing, it never looked so good. I'll definitely be coming here for as many shows as I can."

Disaster Management
Whether responding to natural disasters or man-made crises, CWS-P/A and its partners work closely with communities to build capacities and reduce potential disaster risks – and provide life-saving assistance in the midst of insecurity and daunting logistical challenges.
And long after disaster strikes, rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts are carried out while strengthening the resilience of communities for the future.
CWS-P/A always aims to help families that are most vulnerable to rebuild their lives with dignity. Projects focus on increasing community participation through assistance ranging from health and hygiene promotion to food aid to school reconstruction. CWS-P/A believes that communities themselves are central to the restoration of their own lives and livelihoods, and that humanitarian actors only exist to help facilitate solutions.
CWS-P/A also works to help communities prepare for future disasters and to better understand their levels of risk. Through CWS-P/A's disaster risk reduction activities, communities can better cope with future disasters through risk management and emergency preparedness. And as refugees and internally displaced persons return home, CWS-P/A facilitates the reintegration of families through vocational training and primary health care to begin to restore normalcy to everyday lives.
It helps to be prepared
CWS-P/A initiates steps for mitigation and preparedness to eliminate or reduce the impact or the occurrence of a disaster. These actions can be structural – such as reinforcing buildings – or non-structural through activities like disaster management trainings.
In the aftermath of the 2005 earthquake, CWS-P/A has helped affected communities in constructing houses, health, and education facilties with high quality structural designs and construction that can withstand the impact of disasters. In addition to the structural efforts, CWS-P/A also conducted of workshops and trainings on disaster preparedness for community members.
Read more about CWS-P/A's response to the 2005 earthquake, which assisted more than 240,000 people.
Hot and Cold: Hardships for Displaced Families
As insecurity continues in many parts of Pakistan's north-west, significant challenges continue to affect the lives of families. Deteriorating climate conditions and seasonal changes add to the hardships people encounter.
During the massive displacement from the Swat valley in 2009, internally displaced families living in Mardan and Swabi endured temperatures as high as 49°C (120°F) –temperatures that were far higher than the temperate climate of Swat. These living conditions caused great hardship for the millions displaced during the armed conflict between the Pakistani military and extremist groups.
In contrast, in the mountains of Afghanistan, the sub-zero temperatures often add to the burden faced by families as they struggle to survive, while the freezing temperatures significantly increase the susceptability to diseases among women and children when winterization needs are not met.
In addition, displaced families face greater food shortages and require additional medical assistance and heating facilities. CWS-P/A regularly distributes blankets, hygiene kits, and basic non-food item kits to families to assist them with their needs during the winter. Moreover, health care services are provided among internally displaced families all year long.
The increasing size and geography of displacement in recent years has indeed been unprecedented. More than 300,000 civilians fled a second government offensive in South Waziristan in late 2009, and thousands more continue to be displaced as a result of other military offensives in Pakistan's tribal agencies. CWS-P/A continues to respond to the massive needs of both those who fled and the communities that accepted them. Then as families who return home, CWS-P/A has committed to assist with their recovery needs communities.
Helping Families Return Home
After living far from home – sometimes for years – CWS-P/A returnee reintegration projects help to restore a degree of normalcy to the lives of returning refugees and internally displaced families. For many returning families, the key need is opportunities for livelihood development. CWS-P/A works through a variety of projects for men and women including agriculture, cash-for-work opportunities, and skills training.
Click here to read more about CWS-P/A's Livelihood work.
Restoring Dignity to Human Welfare
As the scale and scope of disasters continues to increase, the need for international humanitarian aid provided by non-government organizations has become increasingly essential. Humanitarian aid workers in their relief and recovery efforts require the best understanding of the physical needs of survivors and refugees – including the psychosocial impacts. Equally important for the success of humanitarian efforts is the tangible demonstration of commitment to the rights and dignity of disaster survivors.
CWS-P/A is a member of the Humanitarian Accountability Partnership (HAP) International and adheres to humanitarian standards while promoting the rights of beneficiaries. This promotes humanitarian action that is impartial, dignified, responsible, and accountable between CWS-P/A, beneficiaries and other stakeholders. In addition, CWS-P/A also adheres to and promotes Sphere standards to ensure the quality of assistance provided to people affected by disasters.
Read more about CWS-P/A's Quality and Accountability work.
Responding to Emergency Needs
As disasters hit in Pakistan and Afghanistan, CWS-P/A immediately mobilizes its teams to meet the urgent needs of affected families – mostly related to sustenance, health and shelter, of affected families. CWS-P/A works both through its own resources and its partners by supporting district structures already existing in communities.

Engine: four cylinder, overhead camshaft, 4,398cc giving 100bhp at 3,500rpm; Gearbox: four speed manual; Suspension: semi-elliptic leaf springs; Brakes: four wheel drum. Right hand drive.
By 1926 the 3-litre Bentley was losing its competitive edge and, although the 6-litre was selling well, the Bentley enthusiast was looking for an improved big four-cylinder car. W.O. Bentley set about developing such a model using, where possible, 3 and 6-litre components. The first series of 4-litres was launched in late 1927 following the success of the prototype car at Le Mans, when it broke the lap record prior to the White House Corner disaster. Eloquent road tests by the motor press of the day established the new 4-litre as a very special Bentley and, with its outright victory at Le Mans in 1928 and subsequent Brooklands competition success, it soon established itself as the worthy successor to the 3-litre. During the four years of production, the 4 received many detail changes, the most significant of which were changing from a cone clutch to plate type, fitting of a servo to the front brakes and fitting of vertical SU carburetors in place of the early 'Slopers'. To many Bentley enthusiasts, the big four-cylinder 4-litre with its familiar burbling exhaust, long-legged gait and whine of the straight cut gears symbolized the very best of W.O. Bentley creations. A standard Vanden Plas tourer was capable of a genuine 90mph, but 100mph was possible with Le Mans camshafts and alternative axle ratios.
Unquestionably, the W.O. Bentley fame is based upon the competition success the company achieved in the racing world. The most important sports car race then, and still even today, is the Le Mans 24 hour race held in France each year. Genuine surviving team cars are extremely rare and indeed only around four or so 4-litre cars raced at Le Mans, consequently they are highly valuable to collectors. It is no surprise therefore that over the years many attempts have been made to satisfy demand by replicating the famous Vanden Plas Sports tourers that ran at Le Mans in the late 1920s.
The example on offer here today is certainly one of the finest Le Mans style Bentleys that we have had the pleasure of offering. The basis for this car was a genuine vintage Bentley which still retained its original chassis and matching engine. Chassis number RN 3050 was supplied new with a saloon body by Harrison in December 1928, and during the late 1930s this coachwork was exchanged for a Barker two seat configuration. By the early 1990s, under the guidance of the premiere English Vintage Bentley enthusiast and dealer, Stanley Mann, it was decided to restore the car in the style of one of the famous Le Mans team cars. The coachwork was carefully constructed by Hastings and Harding of South Stoke, while the engine machining was undertaken by the renowned specialist, Roger Cook, with final assembly carried out in the workshop of Stanley Mann. The trim work was again subcontracted out, this time to Bill Smith. This superb car has some wonderful details and features including a full racing dashboard with large Jaeger rev counter and speedometer guage, a large Le Mans petrol tank, stoneguarded head lights, Hartford shock absorbers, wefco spring gators, twin leather bonnet straps, racing aero screens, a corded steering wheel and a nice set of sloper SU carburetors. The bodywork is finished in the traditional Vanden Plas style with an aluminum bonnet and fabric covered coachwork.
When this evocative vehicle was completed, it was sold to well-known actor, Tom Selleck (Magnum P.I. and Three Men and a Baby, among others), who has since then garaged the car at his California ranch. Owing to his busy schedule, the Bentley has had very limited use by Mr. Selleck and it has only travelled some 1,215 miles since the restoration was completed. Some minor service work was undertaken by Hill & Vaughan and the car has been maintained in fine cosmetic condition. This car and Tom Selleck appeared in the winter of 1995/6 issue of Cigar Aficionado. If you ever aspire to emulate the famous 'Bentley Boys' (as the works drivers affectionately became known) here is your chance. Without question this superb car would be welcomed at Bentley Drivers' Club and many other classic car events.

I Love Halloween and I Was Once a Cheerleader
I still dress up every year on All Hallows Eve, as it was once known, and hand out treats to all the little visitors. I love seeing all their little costumes every year, and I love all the decorated lawns when I walk around the neighborhood. Here where I live there is almost as much outdoor decoration at Halloween time as there is at Christmas. I also love to get out my cheerleader Halloween outfit to wear while handing out the treats.
And yes, I was a cheerleader once, even though I have no idea how I got elected since I was probably the most spastic one in the history of that school. Learning all those routines was hard work, and cheering itself is also very hard work. (I lost weight from all that exercise.) It was so fun being a cheerleader though and sharing in the cheerleading sisterhood, going to cheer camp and all those practices where we worked out routines and gossiped about all our classmates, and ate junk snacks and stayed up all night listening to music and doing our hair and nails. Some of my fondest memories.

Update: In January 2013, the government extended some tax breaks beneficial to homeowners, including the PMI deduction, energy tax credits, and mortgage debt forgiveness. Get the latest info about tax deductions and tax credits.
Like the rest or the country, we're waiting to see what Congress and the President do, or don't do, to affect our tax bill. What we do know is that some tax breaks could go away, some have already gone, and one newish tax is wildly misrepresented.
Transfer tax that never was
Misinformation abounds about the 3.8% Medicare surtax, part of the Affordable Care Act. It does impose a tax on, among other things, some capital gains you get from selling your home. But it applies to very few people. For instance, to be affected, you must have an adjusted gross income that is either:
- $250,000, in the case of a joint return or surviving spouse
- $125,000, in the case of a married individual filing a separate return
- $200,000, in any other case (i.e., individual or head of household)
- AND you have to make a substantial profit from a home sale of more than $500,000 (joint return) or $250,000 (single return).
So, the vast majority of home owners will never notice this tax because most gains are well below those thresholds. The tax isn't a transfer tax and the amount paid will depend on a formula.
Items that may be going …
The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act and Debt Cancellation gave you a tax break if you did a short sale or otherwise had mortgage debt forgiven.
Briefly, a short sale means you don't have to pay back some portion of your mortgage. So if you're forgiven $50,000 of your loan, for example, the IRS would ordinarily consider that $50,000 as taxable income. The expiring relief provision allows you to disregard that $50,000 for income tax purposes. The provision is set to expire on Dec. 31, 2012.
The 15% capital gains tax expires Dec. 31, 2012, and could go up to 20% (again, depending on the deal Congress cuts). That means if you sell your house next year rather than this year, you pay 5 percentage points more. But the floor for this tax remains high: As noted above, cap gains for a home don't kick in until $250,000 in profit — double that for a couple.
Medically-necessary home improvements aren't disappearing entirely, but the deal won't be as good in 2013 as it was in 2012. Until the end of this year, anything you spent on these improvements above 7.5% of your AGI was deductible. But starting in 2013, you have to spend 10% of your AGI before claiming deductions. (However, if you're 65 or older in 2013, the old rate of 7.5% still applies.)
… And items that are gone
Other tax changes that affect a wide range of home owners, however, have disappeared. When you file your 2012 income tax return, you won't be able to deduct private mortgage insurance (PMI) premiums. Those ended in 2011. So if you have a chance to cancel PMI, you should.
At the same time, some energy-efficiency tax credits also disappeared; you can't declare them when filing your 2012 taxes. These include energy-efficient windows and doors; certain kinds of hot water heaters; eligible HVAC systems; and specific types of roofs. None of these credits are available for changes made in 2012.
There are still some tax credits available — through 2016 — for big ticket energy-efficient systems like geothermal heat pumps, wind turbines, and solar panels.
Business as usual
The first-time home buyer tax credit ended a few years ago, but one thing that hasn't changed: paying it back (if you took the credit after April 8, 2008, and before Jan. 1, 2009). You owe the government 1/15th of the credit each year over the next 15 years. If you took the $7,500 maximum, that's $500 a year.
The home office deduction also remains, and although the rules haven't changed, continued high unemployment may mean more people are taking advantage of it. If you're new to the deduction this year, keep in mind that the rules are subtle and IRS oversight can be extensive.
Don't forget the states
Does your state offer a home-related tax deferral? For example, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has a number of Hurricane Sandy tax relief items relating to both delayed filings and special tax provisions. Check with your local state tax department.
Do a replay
If a provision has expired, or is about to expire, there's no way to request a do-over. However, if you forgot to claim a tax break that you were eligible for no more than 2 to 3 years ago, you can submit a revised 1040. File Form 1040X.
Now that the election is over, the president and Congress will negotiate changes for 2013. It's safe to say that in the coming weeks, anything is on the table. Some of the disappearing tax breaks may be reinstated, at least in some form; some changes may come retroactively after Jan. 1, 2013.
Buckle up. We'll be tracking the tax issues here at HouseLogic.

Conclusions drawn from My Experiment on the effect of Enzyme concentration on the time taken for a reaction to occur
My graph shows a curved shape showing negative correlation. The results that I achieved were different to that of the classes. My results were on average higher than the class average results. For example at 1% concentration of urease solution our result was 1782 seconds for the reaction to occur while the class average result was 952 seconds. The graph tells us that when the concentration of urease increases the time the enzyme solution takes to completely react with all of the substrate decreases. The rate of reaction at 1% urease is a lot slower than the reaction that occurred at 5% urease, which was quite fast only taking 262 seconds. There is one anomaly in my results this was at 4% where it is quite a bit above the curve of best fit but other than that my results stuck pretty well to our curve of best fit.
My results indicate a negative correlation because of the fact that the amount of enzyme added will have an effect on reaction time. At 1% urease the reaction took 1782 seconds and at 2% urease the reaction took 795 seconds. The reason for this decrease is because of the increased concentration in urease solution there will be more active sites for the urea to react with in 2% urease. The more active sites will lead to more successful collisions between the enzyme and the substrate giving us more enzyme substrate complexes formed. During the experiment bonds are broken in the enzyme substrate complex and new ones are firmed so the substrate is converted into product, when this happens the solution turns green.
Our experiment went very well. I recorded...

JPMorgan Chase will pay $995 million to bond insurer Ambac Financial Group to settle insurance disputes related to residential mortgage-backed securities, according to an article in Reuters.
This is good news for the monoline, Ambac. According to the article, the settlement will have a positive impact on the company's fourth-quarter operating results and its claims paying resources.
From Reuters:
The agreement will not have a material effect on JPMorgan's first quarter earnings, the Wall Street bank said in a regulatory filing.
The settlement also provides for the withdrawal of Ambac's objection to JPMorgan's $4.5 billion settlement with trustees of trusts issued by JPMorgan, Chase and Bear Stearns.
This news closely follows reports earlier this month that Goldman Sachs also reached a $5 billion settlement over claims related to toxic mortgage bonds sold to investors in the run up to the financial crisis.
JPMorgan Chase also announced late Monday night that it has agreed to pay the remnants of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. $1.42 billion in cash, according to an article in The Wall Street Journal.

Robert Abernethy
Former NBC News Correspondent; Executive Editor & Host, Religion & Ethics Newsweekly, Educational Broadcasting Corporation
MPA, Class of 1952
I worked for NBC News for 42 years, most of the time as a correspondent – in Washington, London, Los Angeles and, in the early 1990's, Moscow, where I covered the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.
By 1994, it was time to retire, but I liked television news and I did not want to stop work. So I started a half-hour weekly program called Religion&Ethics NewsWeekly, which I anchor and which PBS distributes. It seems to fill a niche – reporting the news of all religions, without proselytizing – and thanks to our principal funder, Lilly Endowment Inc., we have been doing a fresh program every week for 16 years.

I am a bass player born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Southeast Michigan is a musically rich area and I feel I've benefited immensely from growing up here. I've followed in the footsteps of many other young Ann Arbor musicians, gaining a love of jazz at Community High School (under the direction of Mike Grace), honing my musical skills and taste with world class saxophonist Vincent York, and then attending the University of Michigan Jazz Studies Program in order to absorb the teachings of master musicians such as Robert Hurst. A few of the other teachers that have been very important to my growth as a musician are Kurt Krahnke, Sean Dobbins, Diana Gannett, Geri Allen, Ellen Rowe and Andrew Bishop.
In addition to individual teachers, the Detroit jazz community and tradition has greatly influenced my music. Detroit has nurtured some of the very best musicians, period, and every brush I've had with that legacy has been very important to me. In an effort to soak up more of this musical magic I recently moved into the Detroit area and maintain an active performance schedule around the city.
Some of the wonderful musicians I've shared the bandstand with are Marcus Belgrave, Tim Ries, Sean Dobbins, Vincent York, Tad Weed, Ellen Rowe, Dwight Adams, Thaddeus Dixon, Vincent Chandler, Christian Howes, and Lawrence Hobgood.
Some highlights thus far:
Through the Community High School Jazz Program I was able to participate in a cultural exchange program to Hikone, Japan. This was my first taste of musical travel, and it definitely whet my appetite.
In August of 2010, I traveled to Mysore, India for a musical study abroad opportunity-- I studied a drum called the mridangam. The trip profoundly affected how I experience and interact with not just music but the world at large.
In January of 2011 I was part of a group of students who worked closely with master
dancer/choreographer Dianne McIntyre to create an original score for her new work entitled Diddley Daze.
In June of 2012, I was one of sixteen young jazz musicians from around the country handpicked to be a part of Ravinia's Steans Institute Program for Jazz (in Chicago). While at the Institute, I had the privilege to study with jazz legends Rufus Reid, Curtis Fuller, David Baker and Nathan Davis.
From January of 2012 to December of 2014 I toured extensively with The Appleseed Collective. We covered large portions of the US, including Florida, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico; and such major cities as New York City, Chicago, New Orleans and Washington DC. We also played major festivals such as Summercamp, Blissfest and Harvest Gathering.
In February and March of 2016 I traveled to Poschivao, Switzerland to participate in the UNCOOL residency program with the Alex Levine Quartet. We workshopped Alex's music for 3 weeks, explored many different sides of improvisation, and then travelled back to NYC and recorded Alex's debut album Towards The Center -- now available at: https://alexlevine.bandcamp.com/album/towards-the-center-2
In April of 2017 I toured the midwest with iconic pianist Laurence Hobgood, known for his long tenure as Kurt Elling's music director / pianist. Along with my dear friend Stephen Boegehold we stopped at many of the finest venues in the midwest, including Jazz at the Bistro in St. Louis. In addition, we premiered a new body of work for Laurence, his Tessatera project consisting of jazz trio plus string quartet, at the historic Green Mill in Chicago.
Summer of 2017 has been eventful so far, with another trip to Switzerland led by Alex Levine. More info coming soon!
