San Francisco's Vertical Gardens Exhibit Closes This Weekend!
Bright green, hanging and vibrant flora are invading the city of San Francisco, in the most global and ubiquitous sense. Vertical Gardens, an exhibit at the American Institute of Architects, San Francisco tracks the invasion both globally and locally, and Bay Area residents have until May 14th to catch the tour in all its chlorophyllic glory!
The Vertical Gardens exhibit grew to form in New York, in Exit Art's basement project, Social-Environmental Aesthetics. From there the exhibition has been touring the country. AIA lent a hand in shaping the local incarnation, including west coast designers and artists. Many of the creators were on hand for the opening reception, their eyes aglow with planty love. Flora Grubb described local vertical gardens and the challenges of maintaining building-mounted gardens. EB Min of Min Day spoke about that company's proposal for a year-round Farmers' Market in Nebraska. Other presenters included Boor Bridges Architecture, Mundo Verde Ortega, and Rael San Fratello Architects, each of whom discussed a project, rendering, artwork or philosophy designed to get more plants all up in our spaces.

So I know that in modern English, the word "google" is considered a proper verb now. Can the same be said for the word "tweet" (i.e. to post a 140-char message to Twitter)?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
English Language & Usage Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for linguists, etymologists, and serious English language enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Tweet was already a verb meaning "to chirp", and many people are using the secondary definition of "posting to Twitter". Is there a good reason to not consider it a valid usage considering its adoptance by a great amount of people? English is an evolving language, after all.
I don't see why not. As another example, lots of people have been using the word "text" for years (meaning, of course, "to send a text message.")

I love this program, and only want Eric Wong to get the credit he deserves.
I also would like to give my sincerest thanks for creating the most useful tool on my desktop, as well as help to motivate the dev(s) to create some (even nightly) builds.
You've already got quite a few beta testers, and with Win7's circular dock obviously fallen through the cracks somehow, I think this could really be a huge benefit to users of ALL operating systems, not just Win7!

|Waterside Dining in Vermont
One of the new Vermont travel blogs I've been reading for the past few months is called Love Vermont. It's written by Katherine Kerrigan who describes herself as a "girl who fell in love with a state and a state of mind" which is actually a common situation in Vermont and one that applies to me and many others who find their way here as well.
Her blog yesterday is especially helpful for Vermont travelers looking to find unique dining experiences. "top ten tuesdays - waterfront dining" is a great little article with quick reviews of the best dining next to lakes, ponds, and rivers throughout the state.
I've only eaten at four of the ten restaurants so I have some work to do. But in a state awash in great dining, it takes more than the decade I've been here to get to a large number of them let alone all of them. But that's part of the charm I suppose - the never ending discovery of new places to enjoy Vermont.
One word of advice about one of the restaurants, Hen of the Wood located near me in Waterbury: it is a small restaurant that is highly popular so reservations well in advance are always a good idea. The waterside here is a nice waterfall and river immediately behind the old brick mill building which houses the restaurant. See my January 11, 2009 blog post which has a winter photo (ice and snow) of the falls but will give you and idea of the setting during more hospitable weather.
Love Vermont is one of several fine Vermont blogs I have included in the right hand column of Vermont Travel Notes under the heading Travel Friends. I recommend going through it for ideas of things to see and do while traveling Vermont. There are a lot of good ideas there written by people who love Vermont and love to share their knowledge.

Gallery: MoMA's 'Small Scale, Big Change' Exhibit Opens Sunday in NYC
This Sunday MoMA will open their latest architectural exhibition Small Scale, Big Change: New Architectures of Social Engagement. This exhibit presents 11 architectural projects located in five continents, and how the architects engage with local, social, economic, and political conditions to respond to the needs of the community in which their design is sited. The 11 projects featured in this exhibit have been built in the United States, Chile, Venezuela, Brazil, France, Burkina Faso, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Lebanon, and underscore a renewed commitment of architecture and its practitioners to a higher level of social responsibility in design. Far from the typical gestures of utopia-like communities planned within a hyper-advanced technological system, which are dominating architectural theory and practice right now, Small Scale, Big Change is grounded in pragmatism, separating itself from the esoteric. From a handmade school in Bangladesh to a reconsideration of a modernist housing project in Paris, to a cable car that connects a single hillside barrio in Caracas to the city at large, this exhibit focuses on small scale bringing big change.
The works that will be on display at MoMA are a reevaluation of the role of architecture in today's society, pressing for more manageable and accessible design initiatives, grounded in sustainability through more conventional methods – rather than experimentation with costly new materials and technologies – to build stronger social and economic stewardship. Overall, the goal of this exhibit is to better reveal the importance of incorporating the local conditions of a place, community collaboration in development, and the incredible role contemporary architecture can play in improving social conditions and bringing forth positive social change. Small Scale, Big Change will explore a primary school built in Gando, Burkina Faso; Quinta Monroy Housing in Iquique, Chile; the METI – Handmade School, Rudrapur, Bangladesh and eight other inspiring projects. The show will run from October 3, 2010 through January 3, 2011, so if you're in New York City, be sure to check out this inspiring exhibit.

I had the privilege of studying under Jo Noero at Washington University Graduate School of Architecture. He gave us a mini-lecture on his projects in S.Africa. This Museum is such a thoughtful project. Being in St. Louis, we also have a small housing project his firm designed, again with very thoughtful design approaches. He taught me a lot about how to think about design and to approach it not from how it looks, but to truly look at "who" it's for. Beauty can come from intent. I encourage all to look into his work, as well as the social architecture of the Mid Century and learn from it as I did. Thank Jo!

Celiac Disease Comprehensive Cascade
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Celiac disease (gluten-sensitive enteropathy, celiac sprue) results from an immune-mediated inflammatory process following ingestion of wheat, rye, or barley proteins that occurs in genetically susceptible individuals.(1) The inflammation in celiac disease occurs primarily in the mucosa of the small intestine, which leads to villous atrophy.(1) Common clinical manifestations related to gastrointestinal inflammation include abdominal pain, malabsorption, diarrhea, and constipation.(2) Clinical symptoms of celiac disease are not restricted to the gastrointestinal tract. Other common manifestations of celiac disease include failure to grow (delayed puberty and short stature), iron deficiency, recurrent fetal loss, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue, recurrent aphthous stomatitis (canker sores), dental enamel hypoplasia, and dermatitis herpetiformis.(3) Patients with celiac disease may also present with neuropsychiatric manifestations including ataxia and peripheral neuropathy, and are at increased risk for development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.(1,2) The disease is also associated with other clinical disorders including thyroiditis, type I diabetes mellitus, Down syndrome, and IgA deficiency.(1,3)
Celiac disease tends to occur in families; individuals with family members who have celiac disease are at increased risk of developing the disease. Genetic susceptibility is related to specific HLA markers. More than 97% of individuals with celiac disease in the United States have DQ2 and/or DQ8 HLA markers compared to approximately 40% of the general population.(3)
A definitive diagnosis of celiac disease requires a jejunal biopsy demonstrating villous atrophy.(1-3) Given the invasive nature and cost of the biopsy, serologic and genetic laboratory tests may be used to identify individuals with a high probability of having celiac disease. Subsequently, those individuals with positive laboratory results should be referred for small intestinal biopsy, thereby decreasing the number of unnecessary invasive procedures (see Celiac Disease Comprehensive Cascade testing algorithm in Special Instructions). An individual suspected of having celiac disease may be HLA typed to determine if the individual has the susceptibility alleles DQ2 and/or DQ8.(4) In terms of serology, celiac disease is associated with a variety of autoantibodies, including endomysial, tissue transglutaminase (tTG), and deamidated gliadin antibodies.(4) Although the IgA isotype of these antibodies usually predominates in celiac disease, individuals may also produce IgG isotypes, particularly if the individual is IgA deficient.(2) The most sensitive and specific serologic tests are tTG and deamidated gliadin antibodies.
The treatment for celiac disease is maintenance of a gluten-free diet.(1-3) In most patients who adhere to this diet, levels of associated autoantibodies decline and villous atrophy improves (see Celiac Disease Routine Treatment Monitoring Algorithm in Special Instructions).This is typically accompanied by an improvement in clinical symptoms.
For your convenience, we recommend utilizing cascade testing for celiac disease. Cascade testing ensures that testing proceeds in an algorithmic fashion. The following cascades are available; select the appropriate 1 for your specific patient situation. Algorithms for the cascade tests are available in Special Instructions.
-CDCOM / Celiac Disease Comprehensive Cascade: complete testing including HLA DQ typing and serology
-CDSP / Celiac Disease Serology Cascade: complete serology testing excluding HLA DQ
-CDGF / Celiac Disease Gluten-Free Cascade: for patients already adhering to a gluten-free diet.
To order individual tests, see Celiac Disease Diagnostic Testing Algorithm in Special Instructions.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluating patients suspected of having celiac disease, including patients with compatible symptoms, patients with atypical symptoms, and individuals at increased risk (family history, previous diagnosis with associated disease). It should be noted that HLA typing is not required to establish a diagnosis of celiac disease. Consider ordering CDSP / Celiac Disease Serology Cascade if HLA typing is not desired or has been previously performed.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Immunoglobulin A (IgA):
Total IgA levels below the age-specific reference range suggest either a selective IgA deficiency or a more generalized immunodeficiency. For individuals with a low IgA level, additional clinical and laboratory evaluation is recommended. Some individuals may have a partial IgA deficiency in which the IgA levels are detectable but fall below the age-adjusted reference range. For these individuals both IgA and IgG isotypes for tTG and deamidated gliadin antibodies are recommended for the evaluation of celiac disease; IgA-tTG, IgG-tTG, IgA-deamidated gliadin, and IgG-deamidated gliadin antibody assays are performed in this cascade. For individuals who have selective IgA deficiency with undetectable levels of IgA, only IgG-tTG and IgG-deamidated gliadin antibody assays are performed.
HLA-DQ Typing:
Approximately 90% to 95% of patients with celiac disease have the HLA DQ2 allele; most of the remaining patients with celiac disease have the HLA DQ8 allele. Individuals who do not carry either of these alleles are unlikely to have celiac disease. However, individuals with these alleles may not, during their lifetime, develop celiac disease. Therefore, the presence of DQ2 or DQ8 does not conclusively establish a diagnosis of celiac disease. Individuals with DQ2 and/or DQ8 alleles, in the context of positive serology and compatible clinical symptoms, should be referred for small intestinal biopsy. HLA typing may be especially helpful for those patients who have begun to follow a gluten-free diet prior to a confirmed diagnosis of celiac disease.(4)
Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Antibody, IgA/IgG:
Individuals positive for tTG antibodies of the IgA isotype likely have celiac disease and small intestinal biopsy is recommended. For individuals with selective IgA deficiency, testing for tTG antibodies of the IgG isotype is performed. In these individuals, a positive IgG-tTG antibody result suggests a diagnosis of celiac disease. However, just as with the IgA-tTG antibody, a biopsy should be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Negative tTG IgA and/or IgG antibody serology does not exclude a diagnosis of celiac disease, as antibody levels decrease over time in patients who have been following a gluten-free diet.
Gliadin (Deamidated) Antibody, IgA/IgG:
Positivity for deamidated gliadin antibodies of the IgA isotype is suggestive of celiac disease, and small intestinal biopsy is recommended. For individuals with selective IgA deficiency, testing for deamidated gliadin antibodies of the IgG isotype is performed. In these individuals, a positive IgG-deamidated gliadin antibody result suggests a diagnosis of celiac disease. However, just as with the IgA-deamidated gliadin antibody, a biopsy should be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Negative deamidated gliadin IgA and/or IgG antibody serology does not exclude a diagnosis of celiac disease, as antibody levels decrease over time in patients who have been following a gluten-free diet.
Endomysial (EMA) Antibody, IgA:
Positivity for EMA antibodies of the IgA isotype is suggestive of celiac disease, and small intestinal biopsy is recommended. For individuals with selective IgA deficiency, evaluation of EMA antibodies is not indicated. Negative EMA antibody serology does not exclude a diagnosis of celiac disease, as antibody levels decrease over time in patients who have been following a gluten-free diet.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This cascade should not be solely relied upon to establish a diagnosis of celiac disease. It should be used to identify patients who have an increased probability of having celiac disease and for whom a small intestinal biopsy is recommended.
This cascade should not be used in patients who have previously been or are currently being treated with a gluten-free diet. For these individuals, CDGF / Celiac Disease Gluten-Free Cascade should be ordered.
This cascade should not be used in patients for whom HLA DQ2/DQ8 typing has already been performed. For individuals who are positive for either DQ2 and/or DQ8, CDSP / Celiac Disease Serology Cascade should be ordered to assess the levels of autoantibodies associated with celiac disease. For individuals who are negative for DQ2 and DQ8, no further testing is necessary as a diagnosis of celiac disease is unlikely.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Long Description
The ensemble of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra in Sergiev Posad is an outstanding example of 14th- to 18th-century Russian architecture. Many of these buildings were models for later buildings in Russia.
The monastery, founded in the 1330s, is located on a strategically important road, and became part of the defensive system around Moscow with the construction of fortifications in 1540-60. After a fire in 1746, when most of the wooden buildings and structures were destroyed, a major reconstruction campaign was launched. During the later 18th century, the policy of secularization of church property led to the lands of the monastery being expropriated. The settlements around the monastery became the town of Sergiev Posad in 1782. The building of a highway from Moscow to Sergiev Posad in 1845 and a railway in 1868 increased the flow of visitors and pilgrims, and this in turn brought economic prosperity. The Moscow Ecclesiastical Academy and Seminary was transferred there in 1814; the ensemble are continuing their activities, but following the Revolution of 1917, it was closed and the artistic and historical treasures were nationalized.
The Trinity Cathedral is a four-pillar single-domed church with three apses. Its interior is decorated with frescoes by Chernyi and Rublev, including its masterpiece: the icon of The Trinity. It has a gilded dome, carried out on the orders of Ivan the Terrible in 1556 to celebrate the seizure of Kazan. The Nikon annex is a single-domed and single-apse church with a square plan, built from brick faced with white limestone. The Tent of Serapion is a rectangular building, which adjoins the south side of the Trinity Cathedral and is symmetrical with the Nikon Annex. It was built in 1559 and houses the burials of three church dignitaries.
The Palace of the Metropolitan, built against the southern wall of the monastery, has the appearance of a small Baroque palace, with its red-painted facade. There is a portico in the centre, supporting a wide balcony with an elegant wrought-iron balustrade. The interior apartments are luxuriously decorated. The Refectory with the Church of St Sergius is spanned by a single vault. The high, pillar-less church of St Sergius, richly decorated, has three apses and a single dome. The facades are painted in blue, red and green squares and embellished with embedded columns with ornate capitals and a cornice with medallions.
The Church of the Holy Spirit (Dukhovskaya), located in the centre of the monastery, is one of the oldest monuments in the complex. It is a four-pillared church with three apses and a single dome built from white limestone in conventional form. The interior walls have the earliest examples of glazed tiles for decoration. The Cathedral of the Assumption is a towering structure echoing the Cathedral of the Assumption in the Moscow Kremlin. The walls of the six-pillar building are divided by prominent pilasters and the facade has a band of blind arcading. There are two tiers of narrow windows. The interior is light and spacious, the walls being decorated with frescoes and a masterpiece of Simon Ushakov. The Belfry is the highest building in the complex, situated on the northern side of the central square. It is a brick structure, clad in stucco, with decorative elements (columns, cartouches, etc.) in white limestone.
The Church of the Virgin of Smolensk has three limestone balustrades and two staircases on either side of the main door; decorative double pilasters support four curvilinear pediments. The interior is light and spacious, but the original wall decoration has not been preserved. The Palace of the Tsar (Chertogi) has the facades painted in a chequerboard design, similar to those of the refectory. The layout of the richly decorated interior conforms to the regularity demanded by mid-18th century architectural standards. The monks' cells, two-storey stone buildings, were built up against in the fortress walls in the 16th and 17th centuries. Several blocks of these have been preserved.
The fortress, stone walls and corner towers form an irregular rectangle with three levels of defences: the lowest being isolated casemates, a vaulted gallery, and an open machicolated gallery. The towers were originally floored internally with wood, but this has been replaced with stone vaulting. The religious buildings outside the walls are: the Piatnitskaya Church and the Vvedenskaya Church (1547), the Chapel over the Piatnitskii Well (late 17th century), and the Krasnogorskaya Chapel (1770).Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC
Historical Description
The Trinity-Sergius Monastery was founded in the 1330s in the forest to the north of Moscow by the monk Sergius, the son of a boyar from Rostov the Great. The creation of the Monastery and the neighbouring settlements is well documented in two early lives of Sergius.
In 1355 he introduced rules for monastic life in the community, which required the construction of buildings - refectory, kitchen, bakery, etc. specialized This resulted in a well defined layout being adopted, with the monks' cells arranged around a rectangular open space with the church and refectory in its centre. The whole complex, with its outbuildings, was enclosed within a wooden palisade.
Sergius achieved great prestige as the spiritual adviser of Dmitri Donskoi, Great Prince of Moscow. Despite Dmitri's decisive defeat of the Tatars at the battle of Kulikovo in 1380, however, Tatar raids continued for another century, and in 1408 the Monastery was destroyed by fire. It was quickly rebuilt on its earlier plan by Nikon, Sergiusls successor, with Royal support. The new church, again built in wood, was consecrated in 1412.
From this time onwards the Monastery began to grow in wealth, as a feudal landowner, and influence. It established many daughter houses in different parts of Russia. Sergius was canonized in 1422 and declared the patron saint of the country. This event coincided with the erection of the first stonebuilding at the Monastery, the new Trinity Cathedral, which still stands. This became especially important to the Royal house, who were baptized and held thanksgiving services there. The Cathedral was embellished with masterpieces by the famous Russian artists Andrei Rublev and Daniil Chernyi.
The location of the Monastery on a strategically important road led to its inclusion in the defensive system around Moscow with the construction of fortifications in 1540-60. The original wooden palisade was replaced by stone walls some 1.5 km long, with 12 towers. The area of the Monastery was extended at this time, and new buildings were erected, including accommodation for the Tsar, a small church over the tomb of Nikon, an infirmary and cellarer's chambers, and, most important of all, the large Cathedral of the Assumption (1559-85). The villages and settlements around the Monastery expanded to house the many workers involved in the new works.
During the political upheavals of the early 17th century the Monastery withstood a legendary 16-month siege, as a result of which it received many rich endowments and donations. Some of this money was used to strengthen the already formidable defences, which were to prove their worth at the end of the century, when the young Tsar Peter (the Great) twice took refuge there. With Peter's consolidation of power, a number of new buildings in Baroque style were added to the Monastery, including the refectory chamber with the church of St Sergius, a stone palace for the Tsar (Chertogi), the Church over the Gates, and the Chapel over the Well.
In 1744 Empress Elisaveta Petrovna awarded the highest title to the Monastery, that of Lavra, reinforcing its paramountcy in the Russian Church. At the same time, the Orthodox Metropolitan of Moscow became also the Holy Archimandrite of the Lavra. Following a devastating fire in 1746, when most of the wooden buildings and structures were destroyed, a major reconstruction campaign was launched, during which the appearance of many of the buildings was changed to a more monumental style and new elements were added, including the Church of the Virgin of Smolensk (17451, the Kalichia (Pilgrim) Tower (1788), and a five-storey belfry.
During the later 18th century the policy of secularization of church property led to the lands of the Monastery being expropriated by the State. The settlements around the Monastery became the town of Sergiev Posad in 1782, and it was rebuilt on a new plan orientated on the Monastery after a fire. The building of a highway from Moscow to Sergiev Posad in 1845 and a railway in 1868 increased the flow of visitors and pilgrims to the Monastery, and this in turn brought economic prosperity to the town. The Moscow Ecclesiastical Academy and Seminary was transferred to the Monastery in 1814.
Following the Revolution of 1917, the Monastery was closed, the monks being allowed to move to a nearby Gethsemanean cell. The artistic and historical treasures were nationalized and entrusted to a State commission, the repair and restoration of the monuments being the responsibility of another commission. At the present time the Ecclesiastical Academy and Seminary and the Trinity-Sergius Monastery are continuing their activities within the Lavra.Source: Advisory Body Evaluation

Artisan: Gertrude Kitia
Handicrafts have been Gertrude Kitia's passion for as long as she can remember. This interest, coupled with a strong determination to help struggling women survive, led Gertrude to teach ancient Masai beading techniques to local women in Tanzania. Eventually, Gertrude formed a women's cooperative with the aim of helping women in her community who needed employment.
Despite the challenges of its remote location, limited transportation and non-existent government aid, the cooperative has managed to thrive because of Gertrude's tenacity. She not only provides women with trade skills and technique, she also promises fair wages and working conditions for the women, a situation which is fairly uncommon in Tanzania. The cooperative is also environmentally focused and uses recycled and natural resources in all of their designs. Gertrude's cooperative not only provides a better living for women through sales of their designs, it has also successfully preserved traditional beading techniques and patterns of the Masai people.

Obama to Palestinians: There Is No Shortcut to Peace
President Obama delivered the following prepared remarks to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, Sept. 21.
Mr. President, Mr. Secretary-General, fellow delegates, ladies and gentlemen: I would like to talk to you about a subject that is at the heart of the United Nations – the pursuit of peace in an imperfect world.
War and conflict have been with us since the beginning of civilization. But in the first part of the 20th century, the advance of modern weaponry led to death on a staggering scale. It was this killing that compelled the founders of this body to build an institution that was focused not just on ending one war, but on averting others; a union of sovereign states that would seek to prevent conflict, while also addressing its causes.
(RELATED: Obama Slams Palestinians Efforts or Statehood)
No American did more to pursue this objective than President Franklin Roosevelt. He knew that a victory in war was not enough. As he said at one of the very first meetings on the founding of the United Nations, "We have got to make, not merely a peace, but a peace that will last."
From National Journal:
PHOTOS: Awkward Moments at the U.N.
Air Force Paul
Rep. Roe Saves a Life at Charlotte Airport
Perry and Rove: Texas Feud
U.N. Meetings Highlight U.S.-Turkish Relations
The men and women who built this institution understood that peace is more than the absence of war. A lasting peace – for nations and individuals – depends upon a sense of justice and opportunity; of dignity and freedom. It depends upon struggle and sacrifice; on compromise, and a sense of common humanity.
One delegate to the San Francisco Conference that led to the creation of United Nations put it well – "Many people," she said, "have talked as if all we had to do to get peace was…to say loudly and frequently that we loved peace and hated war. Now we have learned that no matter how much we love peace and hate war, we cannot avoid having war brought upon us if there are convulsions in other parts of the world."
The fact is, peace is hard, but our people demand it. Over nearly seven decades, even as the United Nations helped avert a third World War, we still live in a world scarred by conflict and plagued by poverty. Even as we proclaim our love for peace and hatred of war, there are convulsions in our world that endanger us all.
I took office at a time of two wars for the United States. Moreover, the violent extremists who drew us into war in the first place – Osama bin Laden, and his al Qaeda organization – remained at large. Today, we have set a new direction.
At the end of this year, America's military operation in Iraq will be over. We will have a normal relationship with a sovereign nation that is a member of the community of nations. That equal partnership will be strengthened by our support for Iraq – for its government and Security Forces; for its people and their aspirations.
As we end the war in Iraq, the United States and our coalition partners have begun a transition in Afghanistan. Between now and 2014, an increasingly capable Afghan government and Security Forces will step forward to take responsibility for the future of their country. As they do, we are drawing down our own forces, while building an enduring partnership with the Afghan people.
So let there be no doubt: the tide of war is receding. When I took office, roughly 180,000 Americans were serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. By the end of this year, that number will be cut in half, and it will continue to decline. This is critical to the sovereignty of Iraq and Afghanistan, and to the strength of the United States as we build our nation at home.
Moreover, we are poised to end these wars from a position of strength. Ten years ago, there was an open wound of twisted steel and broken hearts in this city. Today, as a new tower rising at Ground Zero symbolizes New York's renewal, al Qaeda is under more pressure than ever before. Its leadership has been degraded. And Osama bin Laden, a man who murdered thousands of people from dozens of countries, will never endanger the peace of the world again.
Yes, this has been a difficult decade. But today, we stand at a crossroads of history with the chance to move decisively in the direction of peace. To do so, we must return to the wisdom of those who created this institution. The UN's Founding Charter calls upon us, "to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security." And Article 1 of this General Assembly's Universal Declaration of Human Rights reminds us that, "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.' Those bedrock beliefs – in the responsibility of states, and the rights of men and women – must be our guide.
In that effort, we have reason to hope. This year has been a time of transformation. More nations have stepped forward to maintain international peace and security. And more individuals are claiming their universal right to live in freedom and dignity.
One year ago, when we met here in New York, the prospect of a successful referendum in South Sudan was in doubt. But the international community overcame old divisions to support the agreement that had been negotiated to give South Sudan self-determination. And last summer, as a new flag went up in Juba, former soldiers laid down their arms; men and women wept with joy; and children finally knew the promise of looking to a future that they will shape.

Daughtry strips down for "Baptized" (Updated 1/23/14)
Daughtry's "Break the Spell" in 2011 became the band's first album not to go platinum … which might explain why they were "Waiting for Superman" in late 2013.
As it stands, "Superman" was the lead single from Daughtry's fourth album, "Baptized." The project included a long list of contributors, as Daughtry tweeted the band had been working with the likes of Martin Johnson of Boys Like Girls, Rock Mafia, and even Ali Tamposi and The Monsters and the Strangerz. It was all said to be part of the band's attempt to develop a lighter and brighter sound, but the album bowed in November to very mixed reviews.
Though Newsday gave the album a grade of B-, the Boston Globe was a little more critical of the "overload of corny lyrics" and thought the band was trying to channel Train or LIfehouse. The New York Times also couldn't find room to offer much praise, saying Daughtry felt limited with the new stripped-down music.
Daughtry has been touring non-stop since January 2007, and even now is no different. The Baptized World Tour is in full swing, with the band scheduling its first UK dates since 2010. The trek will see them perform four shows culminating at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on March 26. Along for the ride will be longtime bandmates Josh Paul (bass), Brian Craddock (guitar), Josh Steely (guitar), Robin Diaz (drums) and new addition Elvio Fernandes (keyboard). Behind only Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry remains the third-biggest selling "American Idol" alumnus around the world.
About Daughtry
Daughtry is led by Chris Daughtry who, like Adam Lambert, is another American Idol finalist who has made it big in the music world even though he was not the show's winner. The band's self-titled debut released in 2006 sold more than four million copies and was Billboard's number one selling album of 2007. Hit song "It's Not Over†was the eighth most-played song across every radio format in 2007. Daughtry's second album Leave This Town was released in 2009 with Daughtry commenting that the album had more of a rock sound to it. The album debuted at number one and sold 269,000 copies in its first week. You can find tickets to all Daughtry shows here on SeatGeek.

After a summer fraught with financial woes followed by labor negotiations with musicians, the Nashville Symphony opens its fall classical series this week with a program of Russian music.
Music director Giancarlo Guerrero leads the orchestra in performances of Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain," Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 featuring guest soloist Joyce Yang, and Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5.
The concerts take place Thursday through Saturday at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.
"These three works were composed in an era of big changes in Russia and the Soviet Union," Guerrero wrote in an email. "In the case of Mussorgsky, his music is highly influenced by the Asian region of the vast Russian Empire, so it sounds very exotic."
"Night on Bald Mountain" is perhaps most familiar to audiences today because it was used in the Disney film "Fantasia." It was also featured in Nashville Symphony's Halloween Pied Piper concert last fall.
"Shostakovich and Prokofiev were always under the watchful eyes of Stalin's cultural police," Guerrero continued. "This lack of complete artistic freedom, along with their natural desire to overcome these barriers, produced some of the most powerful and moving music ever written."
Concerto an old friend
"I think it's a spectacular piece to open the season," Yang said of the Prokofiev concerto from her home base in New York. "It's a kind of thing that really gets people, whether you've heard it a million times before or just now targeting people that have never heard it before."
Prokofiev's ballet scores for "The Prodigal Son" and "Romeo and Juliet" (1929 and 1938, respectively) and the innovative "Peter and the Wolf" (1939) for orchestra and narrator may be more well known, but his equally dazzling third piano concerto is a standard part of the classical pianist's repertoire.
Yang described the concerto as an old friend; with it she won Philadelphia Orchestra's Greenfield Competition at the age of 12. That was just 15 years ago.
"Since then it has come a very long way and over all I guess I grew claws into it," Yang said. "Before it was just lightening speed and just extreme fireworks. I always wanted the orchestra to go faster and faster."
Guerrero calls Yang one of the most impressive pianists of her generation. Her upcoming performances here mark her second engagement with the Nashville Symphony; in June 2008 she performed Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" under the direction of associate conductor Kelly Corcoran.
Yang said she wanted to play the Prokofiev concerto here because she likes to revisit it every couple of years. Each time, she finds she approaches it in a slightly different manner.
The concerto has sections where the piano is shadowed by percussion instruments and other sections where short, piquant notes resemble passages of the composer's "Romeo and Juliet" score. (But Yang cautions audiences against looking for any recognizable melody, let alone phrases from the ballet.)
In about 30 minutes, Prokofiev takes listeners on "an incredible journey" of unexpected twists and turns, she said. "In a way it is so overwhelming, because things happen so quickly, and before you have a chance to grasp it, we're somewhere else. It's forever changing.
"It starts off in a sort of a very nostalgic, almost coy kind of solo. Then the strings take off to a completely new world within that. ... The first piano entrance is sort of like the blooming of 10,000 flowers fast-forwarded 10,000 times. It's like crazy growth, and the piano comes out of nowhere in a completely different texture. It's a ping-pong of different textures ... but never awkward," Yang said.
"When the piece is played well, it's like a great film; you are at the edge of your seat," Yang said. "It has that gripping excitement."

|Conde Nast Traveler Magazine Names VT Restaurant One of the Best
I was looking this evening at my Facebook friends/fans pages when I came across some surprising news from Northeast Kingdom Travel and Tourism Association's Facebook page.
They reported that Claire's Restaurant in little 'ol Hardwick, Vermont had been chosen for one of the most prestigious awards around.
Conde Nast Traveler magazine named it one of the top restaurants in the country, an award they gave to only 43 restaurants nationwide, and just three in New England.
In commenting on Claire's, Conde Nast Traveler said: "Appropriately, Claire's serves simple food that highlights exceptional ingredients from Vermont's fertile agricultural community: slowly leavened breads, peppery radishes, and creamy raw-milk cheese. Local microbrews, artisanal sodas, and ice wines from Shelburne Vineyards keep the drinks as interesting as the cuisine."
Conde Nast Traveler sends out its reviewers anonymously to act like any customer including paying for the meal. There's no "comping a freebie" to get a good review. The restaurant has to stand on its day-to-day quality. Conde Nast did not even tell Claire's they had won the award. A friend of the restaurant happened to see the article and passed the word along to Claire's!
Claire's is a Community Supported Restaurant, a concept where local people make an investment in a community restaurant in order to have a good quality facility in what is usually a rural environment where the economics of such a facility often don't work.
I have not been to Claire's so I can't personally vouch for the quality. And I am only a little surprised there is a good quality restaurant in Hardwick. The phenomenon of top quality restaurants in small villages is not unusual in Vermont.
What I am surprised at is that someone from a big time magazine somehow found Hardwick, Vermont. While it is a fine enough town, and a classic Vermont village, it's not often a destination or even on the way to anything except to Vermont's beautiful but least populated land. It was probably a tip from someone and I would love to know the story behind Conde Nast Travelers' discovery of Hardwick and Claire's.
In the meantime, I'll have to just put it on my long list of first time restaurants to visit. There are so many great restaurants in Vermont I think I will run out of life expectancy and money before I get to them all. But it's a goal.
You'll find Claire's at 41 South Main Street in Hardwick about 30 minutes north of Montpelier and maybe a little less than that west of St. Johnsbury.
There is an interesting article on chef Steven Obranovich at the Seasonal Chef website in which answers questions about his approach to using locally produced ingredients even in the middle of a Vermont winter.
Here's a thought: if you stay with us at the Grunberg Haus, go to dinner at Claire's (about a 45 minute drive), and bring back your review and a copy of the menu for our collection, we'll give you a $20 discount off the normal $115 room rate, double occupancy, for a room with a private bathroom, full cooked breakfast included - offer good anytime May 1 - June 15.

|Alchemist Brew Pub Closing for One Week
The Alchemist Pub and Brewery in Waterbury is planning some extensive kitchen renovations and will therefore be closed from Monday, May 4 through May 11. They will be reopening Tuesday May 12 unless their projects go as well as mine do.
With these new renovations, Chef Jeff is planning to bring some new items to the menu. I can hardly wait to see what those will be. The Alchemist blog says that right now, he's off to his home town of Cincinnati to learn more about making Cincinnati chili and to hunt turkeys. Hmmm - is that trip related to new menu items?

|Stowe Inside Line Newsletter
Photo courtesy of Stowe Inside Line newsletter
This photo was in today's Stowe Inside Line newsletter and I thought it was a great picture to represent the great spring skiing conditions we are having now.
"Great" is the word I heard most often from our inn's guests and other people I spoke with about this weekend's skiing at all four local ski areas: Stowe, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, and Bolton Valley. Both Saturday and Sunday were sunny and warm, making for classic spring skiing conditions.
The weather forecast calls for some rain on Wednesday and Saturday night but that will probably change - forecasts of more than a couple of days out always seem to. However, most everyday for the next week should offer some very good "popcorn" snow conditions.
All four local ski areas offer daily email reports first thing each morning. I especially like Bolton's and Mad River Glen's narrative reports. Stowe's Inside Line is fairly short but good and also has promotional listings of events around the resort. Sugarbush's report does not have any narrative - just a listing of trails and conditions.
If you don't want to get a lot of emails, check each resort's website for conditions and also use the Trail Reports on Alpine Zone as recommended a few days ago on this blog.
Just a few weeks of skiing left and conditions are excellent. The ski areas have several feet of snow pack left to work through so you have a little time to make some more runs before Vermont closes out what has been another outstanding winter sports season.
A note for snowmobilers: I am starting to see bare ground on lower elevation trails. Check carefully when making your plans on where to snowmobile. The VAST website Trail Reports page has details along with a link to a satellite map of snow coverage. There is still good coverage in the upper elevations.

|Latest Unbiased Reports on Alpine Zone
Image (c) Alpine Zone
Most of the Vermont ski areas I follow give fairly honest reports on their conditions but they are sent out at the beginning of each day. Much can happen after that and I have found myself more and more taking a look at what is said on Alpine Zone.
These Trip Reports are usually at the end of the day but sometimes you will see mid-day reports. They often contain useful details on which trails the person skied and what they found there. Many of the reports are from people who are frequent skiers or riders (many are local Vermonters) who know which trails to choose and what to expect.
For example, here is what one skier reported just a few hours ago on his experience today at Stowe which started off looking bad but ended up being great.
I especially like the Twitter Reports so I can stay up to date and tell callers who ask about current conditions. It's great to be able to give them a report that is very current.

|Vermont Summer Camps for Young People
Tennis Magazine chose Windridge as one of the top ten tennis camps in the US.
Vermont has a very long tradition of summer camps for children and young adults. Some camps, such as Sangamon, have been in operation since the early part of the last century.
There are traditional camps, farm camps, sports camps, all boys and all girls camps, adventure camps, arts camps, wilderness camps, education camps, fitness camps . . . something for everyone.
A good place to start looking is the Vermont Camping Association website. It lists private, agency-based and religious-affiliated camps. Many are resident camps but there are also day camps which appeal to families who are on vacation in Vermont. The adults can go play while the kids enjoy camp during the day.
Many of the camps listed on the VCA website are also members of the American Camp Association and are accredited by that association.
Another camp directory is the American Summer Camps directory which also has a good overview of camp selections.
Now is the time to start making camp choices. Many of these camps are very popular and will fill up soon.

Over the years, the Federal Trade Commission's promotion of "consumer protection" has escalated, and a dominant role the agency currently holds involves regulating corporate marketing strategies. The FTC's latest victim in the arena of consumer protection is food marketing, more specifically, food marketing to children.
Legislated in 1914 by President Woodrow Wilson, the Federal Trade Commission Act was a "trust-busting" prescription of the Progressive Era, but it further evolved into a broad, regulatory regime that now envelopes the private marketplace.
