its members are less risk-averse than the general population and more selective than innovators in their enthusiasm for innovations to adopt. Like innovators, they tend to be younger and have higher income levels and social status than other consumers. Early adopters tend to be opinion leaders in their communities and are in the group most looked-to by other consumers for validation of or information about new things. In the automotive arena, Deloitte Development LLC (2010) characterized early adopters for one combination of alternative vehicle and fuel technologies—the battery electric vehicle—as young individuals with annual household incomes of $200,000 or more who consider themselves to be environmentally sensitive and politically involved.
Not all innovators and early adopters will embrace the same products, ideas, or technologies, so technology and policy developers cannot count on the groups as a monolithic 16 percent of the market. Still policy makers and the private auto and fuel industry companies must work together in pursuit of the nation's GHG and petroleum-use reduction goals. They must be able to attract the interest of a significant portion of these two groups to make inroads with the general consumer base, which Rogers further divided into the early and late majority adopters, each constituting an estimated 34 percent of the consumer base, and the laggards, or last to adopt, constituting the remaining 16 percent of consumers. Rogers determined that innovations achieve peak market penetration with the early majority adopters.
Each of the various groups can be further subdivided into smaller market categories defined by factors such as age, gender, geography, income, social status, and political leanings. Thus, the automotive innovator group might include dedicated environmentalists, older empty-nesters, and "first on the block" ego gratification seekers. The environmentalists would be willing to pay a premium and accept reduced travel range, cargo and passenger capacity, and limited refueling opportunities to acquire vehicles and/or use fuels that they believe would help reduce GHG emissions; the empty nesters might simply wish to free themselves of the expense of purchasing petroleum-based gasoline (and recognize that they no longer need a vehicle that can travel long distances); and the first-on-the-block innovators may simply be those whose egos are gratified by being seen as out in front of the pack in their vehicle choices and whose incomes can support their desires. The success of a new automotive and/or fuel technology or idea will require that the needs of such disparate subgroups be met.
Meeting the needs of all subgroups or selling these new automotive ideas to the early majority will not be easy. Increased utility and convenience cannot be counted on as selling points. The automobile became a successful new technology in the early 20th century because it demonstrated superiority to the horse- and ox-drawn vehicles it would replace. It offered greater speed, greater range, and greater utility than animal-drawn vehicles and promised the individual a new level of freedom of movement (Morris, 2007). With an engine that demanded combustible fuel, the auto also gave the oil industry a whole new market for its product.
If policy makers determine that AFVs are essential to meeting the nation's oil and GHG reduction goals, then consumers will have to be asked to consider adopting another significant change in personal transportation, but it is one that—at least in the formative stages—means sacrifice, not improvement. The contemplated change is not replacing the horse-drawn buggy with a motorized carriage that can carry its own fuel for hundreds of miles and be refueled in minutes. Rather, it is the swapping of a sizeable portion of conventional, internal-combustion LDVs that run on liquid hydrocarbon fuels and the accompanying nationwide system of fueling stations for a variety of new vehicles and fuels that will require development of massive new production, distribution and retailing systems. In addition, many of these new AFVs use powertrains—such as plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) systems—that typically cost more and offer no improvements other than increased fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and, in the case of plug-in vehicles, cheaper fuel costs for the electricity used to charge the batteries. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) offer less range, and along with PHEVs would require large GHG emissions reductions in the electricity production system to deliver meaningful net GHG reductions for the LDV sector. Some options, however, such as the drop-in biofuels described in Chapter 3, entail few if any customer acceptance challenges for the vehicles, which can still use internal combustion engines. In this case, the technology challenges are upstream in the fuel supply sector, with implications for the fuel costs experienced by LDV consumers.
This chapter examines demonstrated results and stated preference surveys, with stated preference surveys in the forefront because, as many of the vehicle and fuel types under consideration are not yet in the market, there has been little opportunity for researchers to conduct studies of demonstrated preferences. The preference surveys, particularly in environmental matters, have a certain level of bias engendered by respondents' wish to appear environmentally responsible even if economic conditions rather than environmental beliefs ultimately determine their actions (Kotchen and Reiling, 2000), but the impact of such biases—which remains unquantifiable (Hensher, 2010)—does not materially affect their value in illustrating general trends over time.
There is no big mystery at work in the LDV-buying decision process. Consumers typically acquire things for a range of reasons. In the case of LDVs, research has shown that the bulk of purchases revolve around perceived need—to replace an aging vehicle, for instance. "Desires," whether for a different color or body style, improved "infotainment" content, a more prestigious nameplate, or simply a newer model, still account for a significant minority of purchase decisions,

In this luminous story of bravery, tradition, and the power of language, an Afghan woman and Danish widower form an unexpected alliance.
Escaping the turmoil and heartbreak of war-torn Kabul, Raihana settles with distant relatives in the strange, cold, damp country of Denmark. Homesick and heartbroken, Raihana bravely attempts to start a new life, trying hard not to ponder the fate of her husband, who was taken prisoner by the Taliban and never heard from again.
Soon after arriving, Raihana finds herself in a language school, struggling to learn Danish, which she thinks sounds like the buzzing of bees. To improve her speaking skills, Raihana apprentices herself to Gunnar, a recent widower who is steadily withdrawing from the world around him, even neglecting the bee colonies he worked so hard to cultivate with his late wife. Over the course of the bee season, Raihana and Gunnar forge an unlikely relationship, despite the disapproval of their friends and relatives. But when the violence Raihana thought she had left behind in Afghanistan rears its head, she and Gunnar are forced to confront the ghosts of the past as they navigate the uncertain future.
Praise for Song of the Cuckoo Bird
"Mesmerizing . . . a sprawling, gorgeous intergenerational saga."
--Jacquelyn Mitchard.
"An intelligent, absorbing novel."
--The Boston Globe
From the Trade Paperback edition.
Chapter One
Entry from Anna's Diary
A Year of Keeping Bees
15 March 1980
When we first decided to become hobby beekeepers, it was because our friend Ole had been doing it for a very long time and seemed to find a lot of solace in the rituals and responsibility. But I had some doubts.
The wings of honeybees stroke about 11,400 times per minute--hence the distinctive buzz. I wondered about the buzzing of the bees. I was sure that constant hum would drive me crazy. But now, after a few seasons, the buzz of the bees is like a soothing rhythm, almost like a song, the song of spring.
Skive, Denmark--January 2002
Bzzzzzz, that was how she thought it sounded.
Bzzzzzz, like the buzzing of a thousand bees.
The same sound she used to hear when she visited her uncle Chacha Bashir in Baharak. He had been one of the wealthiest men in town with his silk and bee farm. Silk and honey, he would say, "The riches of the kings are mine." Then the Taliban killed him and no one knew what happened to his family.
That was how the Danish language sounded to Raihana, like the buzzing of Chacha Bashir's bees.
The Danes mumbled, she thought as she watched them in supermarkets, on television, and on the streets. She had never seen so many white people before, and this was the first time she was seeing white people at such close proximity. So she stared at them, she just couldn't help it.
They were different from what she had imagined. They were not all tall and fair and beautiful, some of them were short and ugly. And they mumbled when they spoke. The standing joke, Layla had told her, was that they spoke like they had hot potatoes in their mouths and Raihana agreed.
She had escaped a second brutally cold winter at the Jalozai refugee camp in North Western Pakistan when the Danish government offered her asylum. It was difficult for a single woman with no family, no husband, and no education to survive. Her choices had been limited. She could either die in a refugee camp where the cold wind from the mountains pierced its frozen fingers through the tents to all but peel the skin off the bones, or she could go to this country where her distant cousin and his wife had agreed to give her a home.
A part of her didn't want to leave the camp. She had to wait, she thought, wait for Aamir, or maybe go back and look for him? But even she wasn't foolish enough to go back to Kabul. Everyone knew that Osama bin Laden was responsible for the plane attacks in America and everyone knew that the Taliban were the same species as al- Qaeda. America would attack; that's what powerful countries did. The Taliban would fight back, they said, and though the Afghans in Denmark, like many others, didn't like the idea of American troops on Afghan soil, it was better than the Taliban. Some thought the Taliban had been unjustly rousted out of power, that they were the good guys.
So Raihana joined the small number of refugees living in Denmark, all of whom watched the news with desperation, wondering when they could go back. Afghanistan, they knew, would be a war ruin for several decades to come, but there was still hope. They wished that, somehow, Afghanistan would no longer be synonymous with tortured men and women living in penury. Maybe things would change and Afghanistan would become a safe haven, a progressive country, a normal country.
"Have to go home someday, can't live here all our life can we?" Kabir would say almost every day. "Don't unpack everything, Raihana, we'll go back soon."
"Go back to what?" Layla would ask her husband, her hands on her hips as her son, Shahrukh, pulled at her salwar.
"Mor, slik," he said,...

Kingdom of ConcordiaTalk0
this wiki
The Kingdom of Concordia (コンコルディア王国, Konkorudia Ōkoku?) is a nation that holds the Sōryū Crystal in Final Fantasy Type-0, with its capital being Mahamayuri. The Concordian people use the crystal to communicate with dragons and monsters, and use them for daily life and to strengthen their military.
Top posts in the Concordia government, save for the Concordian King, are held by women; Andoria serves as the queen and is the only one who can communicate with the Queen Dragon, the physical representation of the crystal. There are five Orders of elite knights who protect Sōryū Peristylium. One of them is known as the Akatoki, under Celestia, with Yuzuki among its members.
The territory of Sōryū (蒼竜) was originally known as Seiryū (青龍). According to legend, the male progenitors of the Seiryū people had consumed the flesh of dragons which resulted with their male descendants cursed by eventually becoming monsters known as "Seiryūjin". The female descendants, who were unaffected by the curse, took over the country in the year 252 under the name Sōryū and made Concordia into a matriarchy.
During the events of Type-0, the Concordian King, whose title is more of a figurehead, schemed to overthrow the land's actual ruler Queen Andoria and restore the Seiryū to power. When Andoria is assassinated, the Concordian King assumes control of the nation and forms an alliance with the Milites Empire to retaliate against the Dominion of Rubrum for their supposed role in Andoria's death. However, the Concordian King is frustrated to learn that the Queen Dragon, being a l'Cie, obeyed only Andoria and will listen to no one now that she is dead. Furthermore, the Concordian King rashly orders the unsealing of the Naraku cave to destroy the Suzaku troops, despite how the monsters released may endanger his own forces as well.
When Suzaku manages to defeat the combined Byakko and Sōryū forces, the Concordian King goes into hiding and is caught by Class Zero. The elite knight Yuzuki, who had accompanied the king, reveals the extent of the Concordian King's plans and the origins of the Seiryūjin before summoning one to eliminate the king once and for all. She presumably meets her demise afterward when she seals Naraku to contain the Seiryūjin within.
- The country's attributes and qualities, as well as symbolism to one of the animals of the Four Symbols is evident in its themes.
- Representing the east, Concordia is located far off on a secluded peninsula eastward from Orience's greater lands. Symbolically, the dragon has connotations with representing the eastern world, with the tiger representing the western world in Asian cultures.
- Representing the season of Spring, the nation is consistently vibrant and lush, with a gentle oceanic climate.
- Representing the Wu Xing element of Wood, the Sōryū Crystal bestows upon its users the Power of the Dragon, allowing them to communicate with beasts, and by extension, nature itself.
- Its animal the dragon, Concordia reveres them highly, with the Queen Dragon being the physical manifestation of the Sōryū Crystal itself, and the beast finds itself in the highest ranks of the military in the nation. In some mythologies, dragons have shown to have the ability to communicate with sentience and language, and even interact directly into the affairs of mankind. In real life, Asian nations also bear the dragon in their heralds and arms, being representative of auspicious and great qualities, and heavenly providence.
- Its crystal is close in shape to that of an orb. Crystal balls were often the choice cut shape for precious jewels and stones in Asian nations, as dragons in Asian mythology bared them in their claws and are representative of their closeness to creative powers and universal perfection.
- The creation of Concordia's majestic palace was actually the Focus of Shirotae, a Sōryū l'Cie.

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles away from land, and humans, there is enormous floating reminder of the indelible mark we leave from afar. Called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the Plastic Vortex and the world's largest landfill, the North Pacific Gyre is a combination of currents and carelessness that makes up what some suggest is a wasteland filled with plastic. Rife with fantastic sounding aquatic traps such as "ghost nets," it is suggested that its collection is of such a scale that, as of yet, no one has been able to calculate its true size.
In a song by local Park Slope musicians Whale Belly, there is an interesting lyric "I know what I hate, I just don't know why."
The upcoming show Whale Belly is slated to perform in, Post Plastic Project at Littlefield in Brooklyn, plans to remedy just such ignorance through a feast of artists, musicians and comedians curated to raise money, and awareness for the environmental organization, Project Kaisei.
Discovered by chance in 1997 by oceanographer Charles Moore, the North Pacific Gyre is Project Kaisei's main focus. Kaisei itself began in late 2008 when co-founders, Doug Woodring, George Orbelian, and Mary T. Crowley, found a need to bring attention and research to the growing problem of plastic pollution. In 2009 Kaisei launched its brigantine vessel (the namesake of Kaisei, meaning "Ocean Planet") and an oceanography vessel called "New Horizon," donated from partnering organization Scripps Institute of Oceanography. The mission was to collect and calculate data on the amount, type, and breakdown rates of plastic litter that is trapped in the middle of the ocean.
Some findings maintain that certain types of plastic are breaking down at rates much faster than imagined. Most recently the rate was a year or less for some materials to completely disintegrate and penetrate waters and wildlife, raising concerns about toxin levels in fish and other saltwater animals. Utilizing a variety of technological outlets to get their message across, Team Kaisei reports directly from the boat with updates on their findings, and even has a voyage tracker via Google Earth that allows you pinpoint the location, and view interactive message from crew members.
When I asked Lindsay Bourget, one of the curators of the Post Plastic Project, "Why Kaisei?" she answered directly, "I started this project because I wanted to find someone to donate to that made the most sense and they [Project Kaisei] made the most sense to me, because their number one goal is to capture the plastic vortex and that's exactly what I was most concerned about, so it seemed like a natural fit." Some debate remains about the severity and size of the litter in the North Pacific Gyre, along with concerns about disturbing wildlife in the effort to collect, as well as the idea that full collection of all the plastic is a Sisyphean task. Nevertheless when I asked Lindsay about her concern for the validity of such projects in the face these doubts as well as major global disasters (particularly oil spills) she acknowledged "it can be really discouraging, but then you think there's only one way to really start making a change."
Co-curator Laina Karavani adds, "Sometimes artists and musicians are the only one's that people really listen to and can help illicit change, and that's what this is all about, moving towards that change."
Post Plastic Project will demonstrate by example, using soy ink, and semi-recycled paper in their printing materials through Long Island City based, ColorCoded, and party materials (cups, plates, etc) provided by SustyParty, a New York based company that provides a line of eco-friendly, biodegradable party products made from corn oil, tapioca starch and other recycled materials, along with a bin to collect and ensure compost.
The artists and musicians are pooled from both Lindsay and Laina's art and design background. Lindsay currently works in packing and architectural design, and went to Colorado Institute of Art, while Laina is photographer originally from New Jersey. Laina moved to San Francisco to attend the Art Academy of San Francisco, and found herself in an environment of high sustainability expectations. Drawing from this experience and from a childhood where recycling was the norm, Laina and Lindsay were eventually introduced by a professor who thought they might be a good match (their birthdays are only two days apart.) As the project grew larger both realized that this kind of grassroots organization for a less dire cause might be exactly what people were looking for.
The show is a powerhouse in itself with fifteen artists, four bands, and two MC's. Mostly local fare, the artists were friends of or approached directly by Lindsay and Laina, and much to their surprise, nearly all said yes. With the increase of sustainable forms of living becoming the norm in Brooklyn it was easy to see that Lindsay and Laina's project provided the perfect outlet for supporters looking for a more manageable idea of altruism.
The line up for music is strong and ranges from the pipes of a classically trained opera singer (singing in a rock band of course) Little Grey Girlfriend, the upbeat and introspective words and sound of Whale Belly (Park Slope), The Robin Electric with nostalgic twinges of their Cleveland roots, and string band turned electric from Chicago, Panoramic and True.
Artists include talent like artist and curator Ben Peterson, Christine Nguyen, illustrator Mariana Silva, award-winning motion graphics designer Mauricio Leon, illustrator Travis Simon, Daria Tessler and many more.
There will be prints for sale, a raffle, giveaways and comedic relief with the help of couple MC's Brooke Van Poppelen and Luca Molandes.
The show takes place this Sunday June 5th at Littlefield in Brooklyn
Doors open at 6, with a free art reception and $10 cover for the music.
All proceeds will benefit the effort of Project Kaisei.

Missed the party listing last night but you can still help by signing the petition.
Closed on Valentine's Day, 2011, after 36 years of operation, Bowne & Co Stationers was a beloved re-creation of a small nineteenth-century printing and stationer's shop in the South Street Seaport area of Lower Manhattan. Established in honor of one of New York City's oldest and longest-running businesses, Bowne & Co. was a museum that did not look like a museum. It was a working press that still took custom orders, a destination for researchers and school groups, and a beautiful neighborhood shop that inspired passionate responses from visitors from around the world.
Now, as its parent institution, the Seaport Museum New York, struggles financially, the future of Bowne and its significant collection is uncertain and potentially at risk of disappearing altogether.
Friends of Bowne is a group of individuals who care about what happens to Bowne & Co. It is a public platform for sharing news, ideas, and support, in an effort to ensure Bowne receives the stewardship it deserves. Mainly, it is a way to keep the idea of the shop open, even as its doors are closed, because we believe the survival of Bowne & Co. will help make New York City a richer, more interesting place.
… But don't just take our word for it! Comment with your own memories and impressions of Bowne on our blog. Tell us why you think it's important that Bowne survive. Share thoughts, information, as well as feedback! Feedback is very, very welcome. Also feel free to contact the admins "offline," if you'd rather, by emailing email@example.com.
Doug Clouse and Laura Koo Nicholas are the current admins for this blog. Doug was the shop's master printer since June 2010 and a volunteer for four years before that. Laura began volunteering in November 2010. Both were present at Bowne on the afternoon that the Museum closed the shop.

The Invisible Woman
The Story of Nelly Ternan and Charles Dickens
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreCharles Dickens and Nelly Ternan met in 1857; she was 18, a hard-working actress performing in his production of The Frozen Deep, and he was 45, the most lionized writer in England. Out of their meeting came a love affair that lasted thirteen years and destroyed Dickens's marriage while effacing Nelly Ternan from the public record.
In this remarkable work of biography and scholarly reconstruction, the acclaimed biographer of Mary Wollstonecraft, Thomas Hardy, Samuel Pepys and Jane Austen rescues Nelly from the shadows of history, not only returning the neglected actress to her rightful place, but also providing a compelling portrait of the great Victorian novelist himself. The result is a thrilling literary detective story and a deeply compassionate work that encompasses all those women who were exiled from the warm, well-lighted parlors of Victorian England. less

"Night Catches Us," the debut feature from the director Tanya Hamilton, takes place in Philadelphia in 1976 and focuses on the aftermath of the black power movement. The film, starring Anthony Mackie and Kerry Washington, first appeared at this year's Sundance Film Festival, where Manohla Dargis wrote that it "wonderfully weds the political to the personal." Ms. Hamilton spoke about her film influences and compared this period in the black power movement to coming home from a war:

Furor Grows Over Celebrity Appearances on Palin ShowBy Dave Itzkoff and Bill Carter
7:49 p.m. | Updated
Hours after LL Cool J complained that Fox News was recycling an old interview with him for a new program hosted by Sarah Palin, representatives for the country musician Toby Keith, who was also listed as a guest for the show, made a similar charge against the cable channel.
In a telephone interview on Wednesday, Elaine Schock, a publicist for Mr. Keith said: "I have no idea what interview they are using. Toby's talked to Fox a number of times, and I had no idea that this was going to be on Sarah Palin's special. Fox has never contacted me — not now, not when they were putting this together, not at all. I have no idea what they're using."
Mr. Keith, whose songs include "Courtesy of the Red, White, & Blue," was announced as a guest on "Real American Stories," a program that Fox News has scheduled for Thursday night. Ms. Schock said he had not been interviewed by Fox News since 2008. Update: In a subsequent email message, Ms. Schock said that the interview with Mr. Keith likely happened in early 2009.
Asked if Mr. Keith was ever interviewed by Ms. Palin, Ms. Schock said, "Absolutely not."
LL Cool J, the rapper and actor, wrote Tuesday on his Twitter feed that Fox News was "misrepresenting" him by using a 2008 interview in its promotions and advertisements for the show. On Wednesday, Fox News said it had dropped him from "Real American Stories."
A Fox News executive said Wednesday that Mr. Keith's team was informed Monday that his interview was to be a part of the Palin show. The executive, who asked not to be identified because all official comments were limited to formal statements about the special that the channel issued Wednesday, said a producer on the program sent an email message to Ms. Schock Monday, with the information that Mr. Keith would be included in the show.
According to a copy of an email message provided to The Times, the producer wrote Ms. Schock saying, "You may recall that almost a year ago, we did an interview with Toby Keith for our program Real American Stories. I'm happy to report our show is finally going to air."
In a separate telephone interview Wednesday, Ms. Schock said that she spent much of the day looking through her email messages to see if she had been contacted by Fox News. "The last email I have from them is from January, 2009," she said. She added, "I'm not saying Fox did not email me. Maybe they spelled my name wrong. I'm just saying I never got an email or a phone call from them."
In the press release that Fox issued Monday announcing the special, it was described as being "hosted by Sarah Palin" but did not say she interviewed the people in it. The release said the show would "feature Toby Keith." It also said LL Cool J and Mr. Welch would "both speak about their success" in a separate segment called "In Their Own Words."
But several accounts of the special reported that Ms. Palin herself would be talking to the guests in the show. One of these, on the Fox Nation website, which is owned by Fox News, reprinted an account from the website The Hill, which said:
"Sarah Palin will kick off her new Fox News series with one of the most diverse guest lineups in memory: LL Cool J, Toby Keith, and Jack Welch. The three very different guests will speak to Palin for her inaugural episode of ' American Stories ' on April 1st."
Ms. Schock said she remained surprised that Fox News had not made any further efforts to reach her, not even Wednesday when the issue of how the show was put together was being raised. "I'm still waiting for the phone call," she said.
But she acknowledged that the video footage of Mr. Keith being interviewed by a Fox News producer was the property of the network and could be used without any further permission. She said she did not intend to ask Fox News to exclude the material.
As for Mr. Keith, Ms. Schock said she had spoken to the singer about his inclusion in the Palin special. Asked his reaction, she said, "I'm not going to comment on what Toby feels about it."
An Uptick for BroadwayBy Patrick Healy
Compared to the dark days of the economy during the first three months of 2009, Broadway enjoyed modest improvements in ticket sales and attendance during the first quarter of 2010, according to a data analysis by the Broadway League released on Wednesday. Blockbuster musicals and star-studded productions were especially helpful in boosting the numbers.
Broadway's box-office receipts for plays and musicals totaled $228,529,254 in the first three months of 2010, an increase of 4.4 percent over the amount – $218,972,954 – for the same period in 2009.
Attendance over the 13-week period this year rose 1.7 percent, to 2,749,694, from 2,702,691 in 2009.
Charlotte St. Martin, executive director of the Broadway League, which represents theater owners and producers, said that examining the data across Broadway for the quarter was more illuminating than focusing on "a few shows or a few separate weeks." This week, producers for the play "The Miracle Worker" and the musical "All About Me" announced that the shows would soon close because of weak sales, a condition that is affecting several other Broadway productions.

Mattila Withdraws From Met's 'Tosca'By Jan Benzel
The soprano Karita Mattila has withdrawn from the Metropolitan Opera's spring performances of Puccini's "Tosca," the Met said Wednesday. Patricia Racette will perform the title role instead on April 14, 17, 20 and 24, the dates Ms. Mattila had been scheduled to sing. Ms. Mattila is suffering from problems with a disc in her back, said Peter Clark, the Met's press director, adding that she would not be performing until well into May.
Ms. Mattila sang the role in the fall, when the Met opened its season with the production of the opera by Luc Bondy, which replaced the 1985 Franco Zeffirelli version. The dark, stark production spurred controversy and boos and prompted angry public exchanges between Mr. Zeffirelli and Mr. Bondy.
These will be Ms. Racette's first performances of "Tosca" at the Met, although she has performed it at the Houston Grand Opera and in concert at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. She had already been invited to sing the role at the Met before she was asked to step in for Ms. Mattila.
'Lost' Watch: Sun Without JinBy Mike Hale
This post contains spoilers.
So now we know — or we think we do: the secret package locked up in Charles Widmore's submarine was, in fact, Desmond Hume. "The Package," Tuesday night's episode of "Lost," waited until its final moments to reveal what many of us had been hoping for, even if Desmond did look a little the worse for wear as he was frog-marched from the sub. Still to come: the explanation for why he's crucial to Widmore's plans.
Otherwise this was the Sun-and-Jin episode. Their single-minded fervor to reunite and escape the island together has always struck me as the most admirable response of any of the castaways to their situation — as the most believable adult response, in fact. (Please tell me why I'm wrong in your comments.) This episode strongly hinted that Sun's determination to save her husband rather than "save the damn world" could stand in the way of stopping Fake Locke/Man in Black from escaping the island (if that, in fact, is the right thing to do). I still suspect that when it comes down to it, the show is going to have to end with Sun and Jin and little Ji-yeon together and happy. Even though they're not the most central characters, there's no other emotional arc on the show — not Jack and Kate, not Kate and Sawyer, not Sawyer and Hurley — that we're as invested in. (Except maybe Desmond and Penny.) Read more…
'Yank!' to Move to Broadway Next SeasonBy Patrick Healy
Citing the national debate over the "don't ask, don't tell" military policy as an inspiration, the producers of the Off Broadway musical "Yank!" – a love story about two American servicemen during World War II – said on Wednesday that they planned to bring the show to Broadway during the 2010-11 season.
A spokesman for "Yank!" said that the Broadway production would cost about $5 million, and that the producers were pleased with the response so far from investors.
The Off Broadway production at York Theater Company opened to mostly positive reviews on Feb. 24 and has been a frequent sell-out ticket through its run, which has been extended to Sunday. Directed by Igor Goldin, the 12-member cast is led by Bobby Steggert ("Ragtime") and Ivan Hernandez ("The Fantasticks") as Stu and Mitch, young G.I.'s whose friendship turns somewhat unexpectedly into romance during the war in the Pacific.

'Glee,' 'Modern Family' and Craig Ferguson Win Peabody AwardsBy Dave Itzkoff
What could be more exciting for those singing, dancing, impregnating glee-club kids at William McKinley High School than a victory at sectionals? How about a Peabody Award? On Wednesday "Glee," the hit Fox series, was named one of the recipients of a George Foster Peabody Award, given annually by the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication for excellence in electronic media, the college said in a news release. The ABC comedy "Modern Family" was also recognized by the Peabody board, as were "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson" on CBS, the HBO series "In Treatment" and "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" and the PBS movie "Endgame," about the end of the apartheid era in South Africa.
Awards also went to the HBO documentary "Thrilla in Manila," about the Joe Frazier-Muhammad Ali boxing matches of the 1970s; two episodes of CBS's "60 Minutes," about cyber-attacks and health care; an episode of the Thirteen/WNET series "American Masters" about Jerome Robbins; and an episode of the WGBH series "Frontline" about the Bernard L. Madoff financial scandal. The Peabodys will be officially presented at a ceremony in New York on May 17.
Justin Bieber Tops the ChartBy Ben Sisario
Justin Bieber, the shaggy-haired, baby-faced Usher protégé, is barely 16, but he now has a No. 1 album on the Billboard chart. "My World 2.0" (Island), his first full-length LP, sold 283,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Billboard reported that Mr. Bieber is the youngest solo male artist to top its album chart since a 13-year-old Stevie Wonder reached No. 1 in 1963 with "Little Stevie Wonder/The 12 Year Old Genius." (Upon receiving the chart news on Wednesday, Mr. Bieber tweeted about how he was celebrating: "SCHOOL … buzzkill"). Mr. Bieber's minialbum, "My World," released in November, rose five spots to No. 5 this week with 50,000 sales; together the two records have sold just under 1.4 million copies.
Also on the chart this week, Monica's album "Still Standing" (J), whose creation was documented in a BET reality series, opened at No. 2 with 184,000 sales, and "Now That's What I Call Music!" Vol. 33, with songs by Kesha, Lady Gaga, Owl City and 18 others, opened at No. 3 with 135,000. Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" (Capitol Nashville), last week's top seller, dropped three spots to No. 4 with 78,000. "Volume 2" (Merge), the second album by She & Him — featuring the actress Zooey Deschanel and and the jack-of-all-indie-trades M. Ward — opened at No. 6 with 47,000. (She & Him's last album, "Volume One," peaked at No. 71.)
An earlier version of this post misstated Mr. Bieber's distinction in reaching the No. 1 spot on the chart. He is not the youngest artist over all since Stevie Wonder.
Art Institute of Chicago Cuts Some Gallery HoursBy Kate Taylor
The Art Institute of Chicago has begun closing some galleries for one to two hours a day in an effort to close a budget gap, Carrie Heinonen, the museum's vice president for public affairs, said. The rotating closures are an experiment so far, but the museum projects being able to save $150,000 annually if they are continued, Ms. Heinonen said. She added that none of the most-visited galleries – like those displaying Impressionist paintings or famous works like Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" or Grant Wood's "American Gothic" – had been closed and that the museum had received very few complaints. The closures were reported by Time Out Chicago.
Last spring the Art Institute opened a Renzo Piano-designed addition, increasing the museum's budget to $98 million from $83 million. The Institute had raised additional endowment funds to support the new building, but its endowment subsequently declined by 24 percent during the financial crisis, Ms. Heinonen said, and the museum ran a $4.4 million deficit last year. Under the closure plan, the galleries on the second and third floors of the addition are opening at 11:30 a.m., an hour later than the rest of the museum.
London Dance Journal: A Ballet That's Home Sweet HomeBy Alastair Macaulay
LONDON — Frederick Ashton's version of "La Fille Mal Gardée" (The Wayward Daughter) is 50 years old. It was the greatest hit of his career. And though he was skeptical about the afterlife of his works, Ashton himself admitted that he expected "Fille" would stay around for quite a while. In the last 10 years alone, it has been danced by the Bolshoi Ballet, American Ballet Theater and the Paris Opera Ballet.
Twenty-five minutes before the Royal Ballet's performance of "Fille" on Saturday here at Covent Garden, Alexander Grant quietly passed through the theater foyer. He created the role of Alain in "Fille," and when Ashton died in 1988, it was to Mr Grant that Ashton left it in his will. For some years Grant (now in his 80s) has taken responsibility for staging "Fille" all over the world and "Alexander's Fille" is the only version most people can remember.
For me, no ballet is more truly home sweet home than "Fille." It is a pastoral work about life on a farm. (The widow Simone, who runs the farm, tries to marry her daughter, Lise, to Alain, the simpleton son of the rich landowner Thomas, despite Lise's love for the young farmer Colas.) Read more…

Angkor Borei Museum
Worth a look if you are in the area
What we say:
Angkor Borei Museum was set up with EU funding to showcase some of the finds in this archeologically rich region of Cambodia. While the museum is a little run down, it is worth popping by as it is on the way to Phnom Da. When there are no visitors (a common occurence) the museum is kept locked up, but just have a poke around and you're bound to find someone asleep somewhere who open the place up, or at least know where the staff are. Many of the displays are replicas.
Aside from the museum, take a walk back down to the port area of Angkor Borei to see many of the barges arriving from Vietnam unloading their wares. These goods used to go to Takeo, but now with the better roads, only need go this far.
More detailsOpening Hours: Daily 08:30-12:00 & 14:00-14:30
How to get there: Angkor Borei can be reached by land or by boat, the latter being the far more scenic option. Boatmen in Takeo will run a trip to Angkor Borei and Phnom Da for $15-25 for the boat -- prices vary tremendously and depend solely on your bargaining ability. A round trip, including sight seeing time is about three hours.

KOL (Market Vectors Coal ETF) will be added as an AGGRESSIVE Long Trade & Long-Term Trade idea here around the 17.24 level. I've pointed out this long-term basing pattern in KOL recently and I've been following several of the individual coal stocks with interest lately, as they are in what looks to be the final stages of being "puked-up" by frustrated longs throwing in the towel and finally writing many of these companies off for good. I am fully aware of the environmental issues the coal industry faces and even some of the unique aspects within the US coal industry (e.g.- cleaner burning Appalachian coal vs. the "dirtier" but cheaper sulfur-laden Illinois basin coal). Here's a link to an informative overview of the US coal industry for those who might be interested in this "catch a falling knife" trade.
Fundamentals aside, the technical case for an aggressive long entry here for either a bounce trade or very likely, a bottom in the coal stocks can be made from these two charts below. The first chart is a weekly chart of the Dow Jones US Coal Index, showing what appears to be an Inverse Head & Shoulders Pattern in the making. Keep in mind there is still quite a bit of work to be done on this pattern, first & most importantly would be to see prices reverse very soon in order to finish putting in a right shoulder (i.e. – a move back up towards the neckline of the pattern), while keeping the symmetry of the pattern intact.
Also included below is the daily chart for KOL, showing that prices are approaching the bottom of the 15+ month basing pattern while extremely oversold. Buying this support with the appropriate stops below seems like a very objective entry although keep in mind that many of the individual coal stocks in a virtual death spiral, under extreme distribution and in such instances, it is not uncommon to see a substantial but relatively brief overshoot of support. As such, my preference taking a position here as a potential long-term/bottoming play would be to use a stop criterion of three consecutive weekly closes below the 17.00 level. That should allow enough time for any temporary, momentum driven overshoot of support to regain the bottom of the long-term basing pattern, assuming that this is indeed a selling climax in the coal sector.
click here for the live, annotated weekly chart of $DJUSCL click here for the live, annotated daily chart of KOL
I also have a short list of my favorite individual names in the coal sector which I might also add as official trade ideas soon. That list includes CLD, OXF, YZC* (a Chinese coal stock), WLT, NRP, ACI, & BTU. I can not stress enough the risk involved in buying any of these individual coal stocks as most are still in free-fall and the risk of bankruptcy on any of these names in the near future is certainly a possibility. With coal still being the cheapest energy source and a presidential election coming up (lost coal jobs = lost votes, hence, I would expect some pandering/support to the US coal industry from both parties in the very near future), my guess is that even if the coal industry is going the way of the prehistoric plants & animals that created it, the extinction of the US coal industry isn't going to happen overnight.
On a final note, my preference for positioning into the individual coal stocks as potential bottoming or even just "oversold bounce" trades is to use a shotgun style, scale-in approach: buying very small lots in each of the individual names above over the next several weeks, only bringing my exposure to the sector to a "full position" once we get some fairly decent evidence of a trend reversal. As always, DYODD and only consider trades that align with your own risk tolerance, objectives & trading style.

and it astounded me."

[Achtung: Rant coming up.] Many individuals and groups give their share every time there's a calamity. Admittedly, our responses are important & time-bound, obviously (crucial but still just) stop-gap: clean water to the center, boats to take families to higher land, warm & dry underwear, cooked food, for the time they are in evacuation centers.
I think I speak on behalf of the many who do these organized responses during natural calamities - we hope there are long-term, infrastructure responses going on alongside what we do, the big scientific sturdy concrete responses that will reduce the risks, and manage (oh my is that an abbreviation for something…?) the survival of every barangay when we face our 22++ typhoons every year. They do happen. They do, geographically, quite literally, swing our way. Over and over and over.
The ones who hold the long-term solution decisions, please support the experts (engineers, geologists, meteorologists, urban planners, etc) - they should be funded, their suggestions must be funded. What they present as solutions must be priority - even if it doesn't leave you space to put your name on it. The people will know if 'life got better' and if 'floods didn't happen' anyway when you were in charge. Halt on that tarp budget, for now.
For the next 10 years- let no one build a town/city arch that says welcome ngyaw ngyaw ngyaw name of family-in-charge- and use the money for drainage systems where they are most needed.
We- the stop-gap responders - need to know that there is THAT (long-term solution response) happening, too, as we drive around picking up and dropping off noodles and clean underwear. Tell me as I collect panties and blankets for a Cavite evacuation center tonight that a meteorologist and a geologist are discussing with urban planners because someone in government allocated a decent sized fund for their ideas to be implemented asap. There are so many NGOs (real ones, too) in the Philippines - maybe becomes sometimes the G. is not so O.
There, I said please.

2 Live Crew Readies New Album, Mannie Fresh Assists
The Miami, Florida rap group has tapped the former Cash Money producer, in addition to former Slip-N-Slide producer Funk Boogie.
The album, titled Just Wanna Be Heard, is set to be released on Nu Focuz Entertainment/Lil Joe Records this August, and will feature guest appearances from Too $hort, E-40 and the Insane Clown Posse.
"We've been away for so long. The album states where Marquis and I are coming from," said member Fresh Kid Ice to AllHipHop.com. "We want to be back on the scene and with a lot of things going on. Music is like the same right now when you listen to a lot of different groups and so forth. So it's our time again to be heard and we wanna be heard. So with two platinum producers and we all basically vibed on how to take 2 Live Crew to the next level instead of sounding like we did in the 80's and 90's."
The first single for the album will be titled "Cougar." "It's a lot of older women with the younger men type of thing and it's a good thing," said Fresh Kid Ice. "Cause you gotta learn somewhere so hopefully every young man can experience a cougar and hope she don't bite too hard."
Although the album doesn't feature original member Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell, the iconic group member will join them on select dates during a summer tour.

Dangerous! Release New Video For "Big Muff"
There aren't many bands left these days who embody the rock n' roll spirit, which is why the music of Dangerous! is more vital now than ever. This Australian act haven't had a dull moment since forming in 2007 and with the release of their new album Teenage Rampage, the band—Tommy, Nicky, Jarrad & Liam—are poised to take over the world one power chord at a time.
Dangerous!'s debut album was recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-nominated producer Ulrich Wild (Deftones, Pantera), mixed by Marc McClusky (Weezer) and features 12 energetic anthems that are literally bursting at the seams with youthful enthusiasm. By combining the swagger of The Vines, the edge of Guns N' Roses and the energy of Australian rock icons like AC/DC, the band have created one of the most memorable albums in recent memory—a fact that makes perfect sense when you consider that they've spent the first half of their twenties on the road.
Teenage Rampage is a sonic explosion of the best elements of punk, classic rock and metal, all effortlessly wrapped up in one instantly infectious package. Lyrically, Teenage Rampage is about youth, fun and individuality, subjects that the band hold true to their heart.
