For people who love to see Aeroplane and Gliders Elmira Soaring Museum is a must visit. There are places where visitors can just sit and watch the gliders being towed up in the air, and there is also the possibility to purchase a Glider ride for yourself.
You can look at the pictures attached and see how the tow works and how the glide works.
Most of the people get an airtime of around 15 minutes in the glider. The day we visited, there ...

Some young guys had climbed up onto the falls. It looked awfully dangerous to me but that's what young guys do. The whole trip there and back took 1 hr 45 min, beating the other couple both ways.

New USDA Online Food Log: SuperTrackerby Victoria Phillips in Food News, February 12, 2012
Keeping healthy eating goals on track just got easier thanks to the USDA's free online food-and-exercise log, SuperTracker. This new tool uses the government My Plate recommendations to dole out eating advice, as well as quality nutrition information.
The SuperTracker's main features include: a food tracker, a physical activity tracker, a weight manager and a Food-A-Pedia containing around 9,000 food items that have been analyzed for nutritional content by the USDA.
"If it says 'burrito with whole-wheat tortilla,' we did the calculation to know the exact amount of whole grains that contains," says Dr. Robert Post, Deputy Director of the USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion. "That is very different than most databases that rely on the nutritional facts on product packages."
Customize advice based on age, weight and gender, plus set goals, journal, track weight and even receive virtual coaching with recommendations on what to eat and how much to exercise. Get detailed reports of nutrient intake over time or simply find out how many calories are in your upcoming meal. Mobile apps are being developed, Post says. Until then, share progress on Facebook and Twitter.

View Enlarged Image
With less than seven weeks of open enrollment to go, ObamaCare enrollment — and payments — have slowed to a near-crawl in some states.
Minnesota's exchange enrollment goal of 67,000 seemed within reach on Jan. 4, when signups stood at 25,860.
But after surging by more than 4,000 per week in the prior five weeks, signups collapsed back to November's pace of less than 700 per week.
As of Feb. 1, Nevada had just 14,999 paid enrollees — vs. the state's March 31 goal of 115,000.
Washington state, meanwhile, was slightly more than halfway to its goal of 340,000 signups — but only 88,071 had paid as of Feb. 1.
The January data available from a handful of states raise new doubts about whether ObamaCare's downgraded first-year prospects are still too optimistic.
Further, a spotty payment rate (50% in Washington and 66% in Nevada) creates a risk that the demographics of the paid exchange population may be older — and possibly sicker — than even the national signup data have signaled.
Health care consultant Robert Laszewski wrote that he believes about 20% of ObamaCare enrollees haven't paid. The administration said that exchange signups hit the 3 million mark around Jan. 23 — up from 2.2 million on Dec. 28. Laszewski figures the paid total through Feb. 1 will likely be about 2.5 million.
More will be known about how pervasive these trends are when the Obama administration releases January data for all of the exchanges in coming days.
Late January Slump
But January data from New York, Colorado, Maryland and Kentucky (easily accessible via acasignups.net) all suggest that the momentum which carried from December into January substantially faded in the second half of the month.
To some extent, this isn't surprising. Those who missed the deadline for January coverage — some due to technical glitches — would have been expected to try to complete enrollment by Jan. 15 to attain coverage effective Feb. 1.
But the extent of the drop-off in signups in states like Nevada, Minnesota and Maryland that have made little progress toward their goals does highlight an important question: Is demand lagging mainly because of informational hurdles — or because the subsidies and policies aren't well designed to attract broad participation?
No state has provided as much detail about its enrollment through Feb. 1 as Minnesota, and the details are somewhat concerning. (The state counts people who have completed their application and chosen a payment method.)
Minnesota Goes 'Platinum'
Only 21% of signups were in the key 18-34 demographic vs. 35% ages 55 to 64. Minnesota officials have been taken by surprise at the share of people signing up for ObamaCare's richest "platinum" coverage, which reimburses 90% of the covered group's qualifying expenses.
Fully 29% have signed up for low-deductible platinum policies — compared to a projection of 5%. Such policies would tend to be favored by people who want to guard against high medical expenses, while someone expecting minimal costs might go for a high-deductible bronze plan.
Minnesota is different than other states because households earning less than 200% of the poverty level qualify for MinnesotaCare, meaning they don't go through the exchanges.
Thus, the lack of participation in ObamaCare in the state is among those earning more than 200% of poverty ($23,095 for a single person).
This shouldn't be unexpected. Just above that level, an individual would have to pay about 6.3% of income ($1,500) to buy a silver policy with a significant deductible. The idea of spending less up front to buy a bronze plan also has a drawback — a typical deductible of $4,000 to $5,000 before benefits kick in.
Some experts have predicted a late March enrollment surge, as procrastinators decide to attain coverage to avoid going uninsured for eight months or having to pay the mandate tax penalty — 1% of income in the first year.
But there are reasons to be skeptical. The precedent they cite is RomneyCare's Massachusetts rollout in 2007, but coverage there carried no deductible for up to 300% of the poverty level. Nor is it clear how aware people are of the individual mandate, which only got attention recently when the White House delayed it in December for those with canceled policies.
Some policy analysts expect the Obama administration to suspend the individual mandate in 2014 for everyone, once the March 31 deadline is passed.
ObamaCare costs will jump next year for exchange customers, one way or the other. Premiums are set to spike by more than 20% in at least 16 states. But, for many, the real sticker shock will be soaring deductibles that mean they'll get few benefits until they've racked up huge bills. Low-end bronze ...
Nearly half a million ObamaCare enrollees were able to claim more than $235 million in excess subsidies that they will never have to pay back, a recent IRS audit showed, thanks to a quirk in the law that leaves the program vulnerable to potentially billions in excess subsidy payments. Because ...
Have employers cut work hours to avoid ObamaCare penalties? There's no clearer test than the one put forth by the White House Council of Economic Advisers. The Affordable Care Act employer mandate applies to workers who clock at least 30 hours per week. So if companies were seeking to minimize ...
It's now clear that the actual impact of ObamaCare's individual mandate tax penalty will be far worse than the benign intent that the Obama administration claimed. "What we're talking about is a penalty for the few people who will refuse to buy health insurance — even though they can afford ...

BETHESDA, Md., May 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) has joined the Association for Molecular Pathology, the College of American Pathologists, and the American Society for Clinical Pathology in a lawsuit filed today charging that patents on the human genes associated with breast and ovarian cancer interfere with diagnostic testing, stifle research and limit women's options regarding their health care. The lawsuit challenges patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are responsible for most cases of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. Because these genes are "products of nature," the ACMG believes that granting patents on them is illegal.
ACMG has had a long-standing position against gene patenting. In the 1999 ACMG Position Statement on Gene Patents and Accessibility of Gene Testing, which was reaffirmed in 2005, ACMG stated that:
"It is the American College of Medical Genetics' position that genes and their mutations are naturally occurring substances that should not be patented."
With breast cancer affecting an estimated one in eight women, ACMG has grave concerns over the human cost of patents on genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 that are important in diagnosis, management, risk assessment and prevention. Patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes create a monopoly giving only one laboratory the right to do testing. This reduces consumer choice and removes the competitive incentives regarding price, quality assurance, or improvement of the tests.
"Imagine if one of your family members was making a decision about surgery to remove her breasts after a gene test result placed her at high risk for breast cancer and there was no place to get an independent test done to confirm the results," said Michael S. Watson, PhD, FACMG, Executive Director of the American College of Medical Genetics.
Ramifications of gene patents, however, ext

I like the quick change feature as my old blades did not have it.
Good value. Wish they had a wider variety of blades.
By John
from Rochester NY
It is a great tool. A wider variety of blades would be nice. The single small tooth blade is not aggressive enough for some woods. One has to push harder than should be required to cut through some woods due to the small tooth size. (It was a brand new blade not a dull one) It did the job but a more aggressive tooth on the blade would have made the job easier. Please consider making available a wider variety of blades.

Disappointing results compared to plunge
By Toolboxjesse
from Atlanta, GA
I first purchased 68996 Multi-Tool Blade Set 3 Pc which included 1-1/8 in. Plunge cutting blade in order to work with 1/4" Luan plywood flooring I am laying down. I was a bit intimidated to use a circular saw that I also purchased so I figured it was worth a try. OMG the 1-1/8 in. Plunge cutting blade cut through the thin plywood like butter. My only issue was generating a completely straight cut. The next day I picked up this product, the 3 1/2" half moon blade, expecting it to be more robust and to cut a straighter line. Unfortunately, it really didn't do the job. I had to first score the cut line and then take several passes to finally cut through the wood. The tool felt very unstable with this blade. After 10 minutes I reinstalled the plunge cutting blade to finish the job.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Poor steel
By Chuck
from Auburn Ca
I skeptically purchased a vibratory saw from Harbor Freight 2 years ago.... Fantastic ! Good tool great price. Unfortunately, my last purchase of this half moon HSS/Wood is garbage. The steel is weak and does not keep its edge. The straight plunge bits are good, but this blade is terrible. I only wish HFT knew how important it is to have the best quality bits and blades. God blades make the tool last longer and makes for happy and returning customers. HFT needs better Quality Control.

MnDOT adopted a Comprehensive Statewide Freight and Passenger Rail Plan in February 2010. The plan was mandated by the 2008 Minnesota Legislature (Chapter 350, Article 1, Section 66, Subdivision 1be) and is a prerequisite for participation in federal funding.
Stakeholders need to remain collectively aware of ongoing passenger rail initiatives and be responsive to immediate funding opportunities. MnDOT established a group called the Intercity Passenger Rail Transportation Forum to advise them on how to keep those or other projects underway while the state rail plan is prepared. This Forum is separate from the Policy and Technical Advisory Committees established by the State Rail Plan, though it has some common membership with the Policy Advisory Committee.
- Recommend and coordinate projects, through a consensus process, for which the Minnesota Department of Transportation should seek funding through the Federal Railroad Administration's state-level programs while a comprehensive statewide freight and passenger rail plan is being developed, and
- Advise the Commissioner of Transportation in an ongoing process on implementation of the comprehensive statewide freight and passenger rail plan.

KFC introduces cupholder box fit for cars
In an attempt to cater to consumers on the go, and specifically lure in a younger crowd, KFC has introduced a new cupholder box for its chicken. The box could finally exhaust consumers' excuses for not driving and eating at the same time.
It took two years for KFC to develop the snack-size "Go Cups" that Gizmodo touts as "easily one of the greatest innovations in take-out containers since the pizza box." The round boxes are specifically designed to fit a car's cup holders so consumers can eat without having to pull over or stop. If the cups are well received with consumers, perhaps they could set a trend with fast food restaurants.
The cups will be sold as part of mini value meals, which come in five varieties that all have potato wedges and some variety of chicken. The wedges are separated from the chicken with a divider.
KFC is also using the cups as a marketing tool to reach younger consumers: According to KFC, 42% of Americans would be more likely to eat in their cars if food fit in their cupholder. Millennials (aged 18-32) even more so: 53% told the company they'd be more likely to eat in their cars.
KFC says 75% of Americans currently have something in their cup holder, but very few have actual cups: 44% have change, 33% have drinks, 19% have phones and other tech devices and 18% have garbage.

News blog + Gaza
The Guardian reports on and about Gaza throughout the day, digging beneath the headlines to find out what impact Hamas's rule and economic and political isolation from Israel has had on Gaza's 1.7m inhabitants
Clashes between Syrian defectors and army spread

Video footage of Israeli airforce attacks on Gaza
Thousands of Gazans poured into Egypt yesterday to buy "everything from olive oil to mattresses, from cement to computers". Militants blew a hole in the border fence separating the overcrowded Gaza Strip and Egypt and the population, deprived of goods by an Israeli blockade intended to put a stop to Hamas rocket attacks, took advantage.
In our daily audio show, Jon Dennis and guests discuss the terrorist threat facing Britain; how multinationals avoid tax; and the plight of Gaza's students
The papers are anxious today at the violence in the Gaza Strip and there are concerns in editorials about the ascendancy of the gunmen of Hamas, with fears the territory could be morphing into something akin to Mogadishu.
The killing of at least 19 Palestinians overnight in the Gaza Strip has triggered mixed reactions from Israelis, writes James Sturcke.
The Israeli government has ruled out military retaliation to yesterday's bombing, the deadliest since August 2004, in Tel Aviv. That the decision was announced a few hours after warplanes attacked a metal plant in Gaza City may, at first glance, lead some to doubt the government's sincerity.
Hagit Mendellevich and Nonie Darwish first met last week. According to the usual geopolitical criteria, they would have no reason to get on. Ms Mendellevich, an Israeli, lost her 13-year-old son, Yuval, in a Palestinian suicide bombing; Ms Darwish grew up in Gaza, the daughter of an Egyptian military commander assassinated by Israel and was told to avenge his death by killing Jews. But the two women have the same goal - they want peace. While visiting London with the campaign group Mothers for Peace, they told their stories to Guardian Unlimited.
Six months have passed since Israel withdrew from Gaza, but for Palestinians there, life remains bizarre and incomprehensible, writes Laila El-Haddad.

Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales yesterday said communities poisoned by drugs, gangs, gun crime and violence are no place for "a child's dreams to flourish," and that the Justice Department is determined to help prevent America's youth from joining gangs.
Speaking at the annual Project Safe Neighborhood conference in Boston, Mr. Gonzales said efforts continue to bring together law-enforcement and community leaders to discuss effective programs, identify gaps in services, and develop working partnership to prevent gangs from claiming new members.
"My personal experience has been that the United States is a place where a child can dream big dreams … and fulfill them," he said. "I believe deeply that this can be true for all Americans, all of this great nation's children, but not when their neighborhoods and their lives are limited by fear and violence.
"That's why we work so hard … to make the streets of our communities safer, every day," he said.
Mr. Gonzales noted that law enforcement is "not a spectator sport," but added that the same can be said of community-service work. He said it was important for both sides to work together to address what he described as "the scourge of gangs and gang violence" in America's neighborhoods.
He said it would require an integrated, comprehensive approach that includes both law-enforcement and the prevention efforts uniquely offered by community-service groups.
"Increasing prevention in your neighborhood can come from something as simple as meeting the community leader or volunteer sitting next to you in this room today," he said. "Each conversation at a summit like this has the potential for shared ideas and new, creative approaches to reducing violent crime and protecting the future of our children."
Mr. Gonzales said the increased responsibilities for law enforcement since September 11 are one of the reasons law-enforcement officials need partners in community service more than ever. He said their goals are the ultimate complement to law enforcement because they seek to make neighborhoods safer by preventing criminal activity so that arrests and prosecutions are not needed.
"To the community servants here today, I also offer thanks. You'd like to keep kids from joining gangs and living the 'thug life' altogether and that is my idea of an outstanding solution," he said.
"Kids in tough situations join gangs to find companionship and status — false promises of a lifestyle that in reality brings crime, violence, jail time and even death," he said. "The violence of gangs then spills over into the community, making it less safe for everyone."
Project Safe Neighborhoods is a nationwide commitment to reduce gun crime in America by networking existing local programs that target gun crime and providing these programs with additional tools necessary to be successful.
The Bush administration has committed more than $1.5 billion to the effort since the program's inception in 2001. The funding is used to hire new federal and state prosecutors, support investigators, provide training, distribute gun-lock safety kits, deter juvenile gun crime, and develop and promote community outreach efforts as well as to support other gun-violence-reduction strategies.

Harrell backtracks, says Leach likely to stay
Updated: December 9, 2008, 11:55 PM ETAssociated Press
NEW YORK -- Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell isn't so sure now that coach Mike Leach will be leaving Lubbock.
Harrell, who last week said there was a "great chance" Leach would leave the Red Raiders, reversed his opinion Tuesday because his coach didn't fill the vacancy at Washington.
"I really thought a few weeks ago he might go," Harrell said in a brief interview with the AP. "I thought the Washington job would be a great job for him. He loves the West Coast. He likes ...

To all whom tt may concern.'
Be it known that I, FERDINAND BUcHr-ror, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of New York, in the borough of Brooklyn and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ophthalmometers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.
This invention relates to an improved means for adjusting movable parts of optical instruments, and more particularly that class of instruments which are ordinarily used for measuring the curvature of the eye, known as ophthalmometers. 'Ihe special features of my invention, however, are applicable to perimeters, and to a wide variety of other instruments for precise measuring.
One of the objects of my invention is to provide an apparatus of this type in which the various adjusting means are controllable from parts disposed within convenient reach of the operators hand, the location of such parts being substantially permanent, and practically unvaried under all circumstances and conditions.
A further object of the invention is to provide indicating means in connection with particular parts of the apparatus of the type hereinafter exemplified, which means are adapted to register the final result of the measuring process directly on a dial or scale, and vithout 'the exercise of any particular care on the part of the operator.
A still further object, and one which I deem of great importance, is to provide means for adjusting the movable parts of instruments of this and like description, which shall be of exceedingly simple construction, accurate, and most readily manipulatable; while still another objectis to so form an operating part of the adjusting means just mentioned that the same may serve as a screen for the eye of the operator.
In an ophthalmometer it is usual to provide a pivotally mounted telescope which has certain prisms therein so arranged as to produce two images of an object instead of the usual single image of the ordinary form. The purpose of the instrument herein exemplified is to measure the curvature of the eye, which is done by determining the angle at which the surface of the eye cornea reflects the light of certain luminous objects, which reflected light is directed into the barrel of the telescope. The luminous objects used are known as the mires, and are mounted on a suitable frame in such manner as to be separable to different positions thereon. In many eyes the curvature in one plane is dierent from that in another. The purpose of my invention is, in this connection, therefore, mainly to facilitate the measurement of these curvatures and t-he variations thereof in different planes.
In the drawings which form a part hereof, and in which like reference characters designate like parts throughout the several views: Figure l is a side elevation of an ophthalmometer constructed in accordance with the principles of my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same showing the telescope directed toward the point which an eye of the patient would occupy when the instrument is in use. Fig. 3 is a detail section of the novel mire adjusting mechanism taken substantially on the median line of the mires. Fig. I is a detail elevation of the mires and adjusting means thereof; and Fig. 5 is a detail of the scales.
Referring now to the drawings, a base board or table 1 is provided with standards 2 and 3; standard 2 carrying the head rest, which need not here be described, while the standard 3 carries a journal l in which is slidably mounted a sleeve 5, the latter being splined in said journal. Sleeve 5 carries a rack 6 which is in engagement with a pinion 7 a hand wheel 8 affording means for rotating this pinion and thereby adjusting the telescope longitudinally with respect to the eye to be examined.
The telescope 9 is rotatably mounted in the sleeve 5, but is frictionally held sufficiently tight to prevent inadvertent displacement. A graduated disk or dial 10 is firmly secured to the forward end of sleeve 5, and a pointer 11 is correspondingly secured to the telescope by means of a ring 12 so that as the telescope is rotated this pointer travels around the dial and indicates the angular displacement of the prisms in said cylinder with respect to a base plane, preferably the horizontal. The telescope has further ixedly secured thereto a ring 13 which is provided with a depending lug 14 which carries an arcuate frame 15 upon which are slidably mounted the mires 1G, 17. In this exemplification of my invention these mires consist of casings 18 which are adapted for the reception of small incandescent lamps 19, said casings being mounted on arcuate slides or shoes 20, said shoes being rmly seated in the groove 21 of the arcuate frame, the walls of the groove being preferably undercut or flanged to this end. Each of the shoes 2O has an upright 22 preferably at its inner extremity to which is attached a leaf spring 23 which carries a pin 24 rearwardly projecting from the edge thereof; and the respective uprights also have fixed pins 25 which are adapted to co-act with the resiliently mounted pins 24 to grasp a rib or cam 26 of a dished element 27 therebetween. This dished cam element is revolubly mounted upon the telescope and constitutes one of the most essential features of my invention. The ribs or cams 26 thereof are preferably spiraled asshown in Fig. 4, two such ribs preferably, although obviously not necessarily, being provided.
The element 27 is preferably dished to substantially conform to the curvature of the arcuate frame, so that when the former is rotated, to facilitate which finger pieces 28 may be provided, the mires 16, 17 will be drawn toward or apart from each other according to the direction of rotation of the element.
The convex side of the dished element, or, as it may briefly be termed, the dish, is graduated as at 29 (see Fig. 5), and the pointer 11 has a pointer extension 30 by means of which the amount of rotative or angular displacement of the dish may be observed. In addition to these pointers which rotate with the telescope an auxiliary pointer 31 is rotatably mounted on the telescope and is adapted to normally move with the dish 27 being in frictional engagement therewith. In practice the dished element is movable together with the arcuate frame when the latter is rotated, but is further rotatable independently of this frame since the friction between the telescope and the sleeve 5 is materially greater than that between the dished element and said telescope. The remaining parts of the instrument need be but briefly referred to. The journal 4 is pivotally mounted upon the standard, a shaft 32 being provided for this purpose. A clamping device 33 serves to lock the telescope against inadvertent swiveling thereof. rIhe lower end of shaft 32 bears against a lever 34 and an adjustment screw 35 co. acts with these parts to afford vertical adjustment of the telescope; while a depending pin 36, carried by the shaft travels in a slot in an annular plate 37 and serves to limit the sidewise throw of the telescope. The forward extremity of a threaded rod 38 bears against one arm of a bell lever 39, the other arm of which supports the chin rest rod 40 which carries the chin rest 41; and a switch 42 is provided adjacent the standard 3 by means of which the mire lamps are controlled. The operator has hence every adjusting or controlling device within reach when operating the appliance.
The operation is as follows: The patients chin is seated in the chin rest and the height of the latter adjusted so as to bring the eyes to the proper level. The telescope is next adjusted vertically, and sighted for the eye to be measured. Assuming that the operator desires to rst measure the curvature of the eye in the horizontal plane; the telescope lenses will be adjusted for such plane by setting the pointer 11 at the zero mark of the dial 10. The operator now rotates the dished element to right or left as re quired to bring the images of the mires into proper relationship on the eye, as viewed through the telescope. This operation is very simple and may be performed with a minimum expenditure of time since there are no adjustment screws or the like to manipulate. The position of the pointer 30 on its scale 29, carried by the dished element indicates the separation of the mires and therefore the amount of curvature of the eye in the horizontal plane. Assuming now that it is desired to measure the curvature of the eye in the vertical plane, the arcuate frame will be turned about its pivotal axis through ninety degrees, the pointer 11 indicating the proper angle upon scale 10; and the dished element rotating with the frame and telescope. 'Ihe relationship of the mires with respect to each other has hence not been changed. If the curvature of the eye in this plane is the same as in the horizontal plane, the images of the mires when viewed through the telescope will be unchanged; but if the eye is malformed a readjustment of the mires will be necessary which is accomplished by rotating the dished element the proper amount. Before this change is effected the auxiliary pointer 31 will usually be moved into alinement with pointer 11, so that when the dish is revolved the second time, as pointer 31 travels with it, the difference on the scale between pointers 30 and 31 will indicate the difference in curvature of the eye in the respective planes in which such curvature was measured.
What I particularly wish to emphasize is the .extreme simplicity of the mire adjusting means; the construction employed obviating the use of expensive gear trains, and the like, heretofore used in instruments of this character; while affording the requisite degree of accuracy. The dished element performs a further function in that it acts as a screen for the eye of the operator.
It is to be understood that the term visualizing means used in the claims hereinafter set forth, refers, in the particular form of instrument herein exemplified, to the telescope, but obviously other visualizing means might be employed in appliances of an analogous character.
lVhile the device herein specifically described is an ophthalmometer, I do not desire to be limited to such an apparatus nor to the particular construction of parts shown, as I am aware that various modifications and changes may be made within the purview of my invention and hence the scope of this invention is to be regarded as being limited only by the appended claims.

Orrin Evans, The Evolution Of Oneself (Smoke Sessions)
Piainist Orrin Evans brings a terrific vibe, bravado and swagger to his brand of jazz. There's a tip of the hat to the bebop masters, a slow nod to the hip-hop heroes and an element of modernism that's purely Evans. On The Evolution Of Oneself we find Evans in a trio setting with Christian McBride on bass and Karriem Riggins on drums. And if you think that's a badass trio, rest assured, it is. They rip it from the downbeat of the opener, "All The Things You Are," through the 17th and 18th tunes of this set … two entirely different interpretations of "All The Things You Are." These are longtime friends with whom Evans collaborates for the first time, and they sound like they're having a great time throughout. On "Autumn Leaves," Evans flits around, above and through the melody while McBride and Riggins respond to every flourish. McBride drives a classic, killer solo full of technique and confidence that has made him a once-in-a-generation bassist. When Riggins drops in, he's full of soul. Evans is the culmination of his musical experience. On Jonathan Michel's "Sweet Sid," Evans and the crew drop deep into the blues with his ever-present gospel overtones. "Jewels & Baby Yaz," by Jafar Barron, slides to a hip-hop/funk infusion, as does the Evans original "Iz Beatdown Time." I love that he's getting modern jazz composers into this set, like the very introspective "Feb 13th" by Eric Revis. This is a recording of an artist peaking at one of life's milestones: Evans turned 40 in March, and he has never sounded better.

The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Live In Cuba (Blue Engine)
With the recent thaw in relations between the Cuban and U.S. governments, The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra's Live In Cuba comes out at the perfect time … and it's an absolute joy! This two-disc set displays one of the hardest-working big bands in the world, performing over three nights during October 2010 to sold-out audiences at Teatro Mella in Havana. The heart and soul of this set is the opening tune, " 2/3's Adventure," a nine-minute, 25-second masterpiece penned by bassist Carlos Henriquez. He taps into the clave with a vengeance on " Adventure," guiding the song through a fusion of swing and Latin jazz. And when the tune slides into guajira (a Cuban musical form that translates to " country music" ), the audience responds with cheers and applause. Dan Nimmer on piano and Marcus Printup on trumpet solo beautifully, but Henriquez steals the spotlight with his own blistering work on the double bass. This track is my personal favorite, but there's a whole lot to love here: Sherman Irby's arrangement of " Baa Baa Blacksheep" ; Ali Jackson's arrangement of " Como Fue" featuring a stunning vocal (en Español) by Bobby Carcasses; Victor Goines' arrangement of Duke Ellington's " Limbo Jazz" ; and Wynton Marsalis' beautiful ballad " Spring Yaoundé." Mr. Marsalis and company strike just the right mood, choose just the right set and play just the right amount to an adoring audience while maintaining the artistic high ground here. The band gave the Havana audience a lot of love over those three nights, and the crowd returned the favor. It's all evident on Live In Cuba.

Lafayette Harris Jr., Bend To The Light (Airmen Records)
The new album by Lafayette Harris Jr. exemplifies the beauty of crowd-sourcing. The pianist launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund Bend To The Light, an excellent, straightahead album that features the gifted drummer Willie Jones III and the superb bassist Lonnie Plaxico, who played on Harris' 1993 debut, Lafayette Is Here. Also contributing is talented percussionist Thomas Dyani, who plays on two tracks of this cohesive program, which consists mostly of original compositions. The album was recorded in an afternoon at Tedesco Studios in Paramus, New Jersey, and although the budget for the project was not huge, the resulting music and CD packaging are top-notch. Among the original tunes, the highlight is an epic, 12-minute version of "We In The House." The song—which was inspired by the journey that enslaved Africans were forced to take from their homeland to the Americas—was previously included on Harris' 1998 album, Lafayette Is Here … Solo. On this new arrangement, Harris' descending piano lines and Plaxico's bass solo greatly enhance the song's narrative quality. Here and throughout the disc, Plaxico's powerful, expertly paced solos highlight the importance of the space between the notes. Harris explores the stride piano style on a swinging rendition of Herbie Nichols' "12 Bars," arranged by Roswell Rudd. Elsewhere, the band offers a catchy rendition of Luther Vandross' 2001 hit "Take You Out" that showcases Harris' supple right-hand work. The leader closes the disc with two strong alternate takes: a shorter version of "We In The House" and a second rendition of the highly melodic title track featuring graceful, wordless vocals from Jazzmeia Horn, who won the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition in 2013.

Jimmy Burns, It Ain't Right (Delmark)
When a wheel rolls along this gracefully, there's no need to reinvent it. On his new album, It Ain't Right, Chicago bluesman Jimmy Burns focuses on his noteworthy strengths as a muscular yet expressive vocalist and a fine guitarist. This 15-track program shows that he's an excellent judge of material, as illustrated by the two opening tracks, "Big Money Problem" and "Will I Ever Find Somebody?," both composed by Billy Flynn. The latter track, which features potent horn charts written by trumpeter Marques Carroll, has the mighty swagger of a classic Stax single. Burns also interprets two songs by the late, great Percy Mayfield: the smoldering "My Heart Is Hangin' Heavy" and the remarkably catchy "Long As You're Mine," a track bolstered by the punchy coloration of Carroll, tenor saxophonist Chris Neal and baritone sax player Aaron Getsug. Burns offers a sweat-inducing version of Little Walter's "It Ain't Right," featuring high-octane piano work by Sumito "Ariyo" Ariyoshi, who is in Billy Branch's band, Sons of the Blues. Burns closes the proceedings with a trip to church via the traditional gospel number "Wade In The Water." This satisfying, hour-long disc is notably free of extraneous elements, offering a blues program that's all muscle and no fat.

Don Braden, Luminosity
(Creative Perspective)
In the liner notes for Luminosity, tenor saxophonist Don Braden provides a concise and eloquent reason for why he loves music: "While I'm listening, and for some time after, I feel better, stronger and more alive—which motivates me to be more creative and productive." This latest album will have the same effect on his listeners. The 10-track program, an equal mix of originals and covers, brims with good vibrations, and Braden's playing exudes positive energy, which is evident in his warm, glowing tone. Braden is grateful for the role music has played in his life—he decided to pursue a full-time career in jazz while he was an engineering student at Harvard—and that sense of appreciation is palpable on this disc, Braden's 19th as a leader. He appears here with longtime collaborators the Organix ensemble (Kyle Koehler on organ, Dave Stryker on guitar and Cecil Brooks III on drums), as well two guest artists: The articulate trumpeter Claudio Roditi and the vivacious alto saxophonist Sherman Irby each contribute to one track. The group maneuvers through Braden's challenging charts with flexibility and poise. On the title track, inspired by John Coltrane's "Giant Steps," Koehler delivers a smart, melodic solo that belies the difficulty of the chord changes. On "The Time We Shared," a swaggering soul tune, Stryker crafts terse, heart-stirring phrases that frame the poetry of Braden's emotive sax solo—fitting, as the song was inspired by a poem written by one of Braden's students. The bass-heavy "Jive Turkey" was written for a student band with whom Braden was working in New Jersey. It features a tight, athletic groove from Brooks, and sounds as fun as it must have been to record. Listeners might be surprised to hear "A Whole New World," from Disney's animated film Aladdin, on this disc. But it too has a personal connection for Braden. "When my daughter was little, I watched [the film] many times with her and was consistently moved by the beauty and optimistic tone of this song," he says in the liner notes. Here, he plays the tune on flute; it's a breezy, up-tempo waltz that captures the surprise and wonder of the original while adding a refreshing dose of swing. The album closes with Herbie Hancock's "Driftin," a tune that Braden says "makes me smile every time I hear it." Listening to it, you'll be smiling, too.

John Fedchock New York Big Band, Like It Is (MAMA)
Trombonist John Fedchock, a vaunted player on New York's studio scene, has crafted a wall-to-wall swinger for his latest disc, Like It Is. The former Woody Herman Orchestra member packs each tune on this 10-track disc with energy and grit. The leader's lean, invigorating writing style is tailor-fit for this 16-piece band, which includes among its ranks saxophonists Walt Weiskopf and Gary Smuylan, trumpeter Barry Ries, pianist Allen Farnham and percussionist Bobby Sanabria. Fedchock's arrangements move and flex with great efficiency. His arrangement of "You And The Night And The Music" features dense harmonies, aggressive brass refrains and a burning swing feel. It's a stylistic contrast to his breezy bolero original "Havana" and the woozy blues of "Hair Of The Dog." The ballad "Never Let Me Go" is a showcase for the trombonist's supple tone, which has a whispery, voice-like quality. Other soloists are just as impressive. Ries' trumpet flight on the title track shows off his velvety, fleet-fingered style, and Smulyan lays down a beast of a baritone sax solo on Cedar Walton's "Ojos De Rojo," replete with throaty cries in the high register and earth-shaking runs in the low. The album closes with a touching homage to Clifford Brown called "Ten Thirty 30" (the title takes its name from Brown's Oct. 30, 1930, birthday). The tune, which fuses bits and pieces of Brownie's compositions into a stunning whole, is the best example on this disc of Fedchock's brilliant, finely calibrated approach to writing for big band.

Enrico Rava Quartet with Gianluca Petrella, Wild Man (ECM)
For his latest album, silky-toned trumpeter Enrico Rava has woven a vibrant patchwork of styles and moods, covering everything from somber ballads to feisty post-bop. As usual, he handles them all with fluency and finesse. The 76-year-old is joined here by his working trio—guitarist Francesco Diodati, bassist Gabriele Evangelista and drummer Enrico Morello—as well as 40-year-old trombonist Gianluca Petrella. In conversation, these two brass players make magic. On "Don't," trombone and trumpet whisper back and forth in crisp, sometimes frenetic phrases, creating an eloquent essay out of brief statements and pithy phrases. On "Infant," they fall lockstep into a bubbly uptempo melody that, halfway through, explodes into a hard-driving rock groove. The emotional release is worth the price of the album alone. Most stirring, however, is "Improvisation," on which their ad-libbed lines swirl and curl in on themselves like wisps of smoke. It's all bound together by an immediacy and candor that one has come to expect from Rava. Listening to Wild Man is like sitting in on a passionate exchange between good friends. As Rava points out in the liner notes, almost all of the tracks were recorded in one take.

Karrin Allyson, Many A New Day (Motéma)
Like all great singers, Karrin Allyson can convincingly portray many characters. On Many A New Day (Karrin Allyson Sings Rodgers & Hammerstein), she augments her superb vocal control with a keen sense of drama and nuance. The tunes here come from the Rodgers & Hammerstein classics South Pacific, The King and I, The Sound of Music and Oklahoma!, and as Allyson explains in the liner notes, she's been singing these songs her whole life. Because she knows the material intimately, Allyson was well prepared to recast it, creating a brilliant album that bridges the worlds of jazz and musical theater. Her accomplices in this endeavor are the iconic pianist Kenny Barron and the versatile bassist John Patitucci. Throughout the program, the trio respects the source material while also making it swing. On the title track (a song from Oklahoma!), Barron's solo is the epitome of jazz elegance, and on "Something Good" (from The Sound of Music) Patitucci's expressive solo perfectly complements the mood of the narrative arc. The trio offers a mesmerizing version of "You've Got To Be Carefully Taught," a song from South Pacific that examines the way in which racial prejudice and intolerance can be passed from one generation to the next. In a poignant blues arrangement, Allyson sings, "You've got to be taught before it's too late/ Before you are 6 or 7 or 8/ To hate all the people that your relatives hate/ You've got to be carefully taught." In that section of the lyrics, she elongates the word taught to heighten the drama and drive the message home. Barron and Patitucci sit out for a tear-jerking rendition of "Edelweiss," which showcases Allyson's gorgeous voice and admirable piano skills. For fans of vocal jazz, this album is another must-own entry in Allyson's impressive oeuvre.
Fred Hersch, Solo (Palmetto)
There's something special about a solo album. It's an opportunity to hear an artist play, live and breathe through their music, unencumbered by the demands of having other musicians onstage. That's certainly the case with Solo, the new piano recording by pianist Fred Hersch. The album was recorded live in 2014 at the Windham Civic Centre Concert Hall, in Windham, New York, a former church that dates back to 1826. The set of seven tracks soars sonically, spiritually and artistically. Hersch never rushes to make his points. The keystrokes flow like rivulets into a mighty river—each note and chord clear, full of joy, sorrow and truth. His medley of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Olha Maria/O Grande Amor" rings with confidence and nuance. His take on Jerome Kern's "The Song Is You" transforms this often uptempo chestnut into a slow, quiet prayer. He lays Joni Mitchell's already heart-breaking "Both Sides Now" bare, exposing the fragility of love, art and existence. It's fragility that Hersch knows well. The pianist, who turns 60 in October, has endured personally and artistically, very publicly battling HIV since the early 1990s. He would be the first to say that it's a miracle that he's still with us. I would say that we should be very, very thankful, because he is an artist of rare talent and insight.
