Skully Stitcher Needle Cushion
I love the Skullys, the first one I did was the Skully Stitcher. All hand embroidered and the cushion itself hand stitched (rather obviously). I don't own a sewing machine, as I'm a disaster with them.

I know they're trying to make this series the light-hearted antithesis of the TDK franchise, but an action like that makes this series more "cold and distant" than anything from that trilogy that people made similar claims over.
In Spider-Man TAS, Spider-man put all jokes aside to make the Goblin pay for what he supposedly did to Mary Jane, and he's one of the most notorious wise crackers in CB lore.
I do agree I would have liked more of a reaction to Pepper 'dying,' you can be as light-hearted as you want but Pepper was the most important thing in the world to Tony, he should have been pissed off and angry, not making wise-cracks 5 mins later.

Read an Excerpt
The RussianThe Russian Trilogy
By Noel Hynd
ZondervanCopyright © 2011 Noel Hynd
All right reserved.
Chapter OneThe late-evening cognac and cigar were indulgences that Daniel had come to enjoy. So each evening at ten, on fiendishly cold nights like this one, he would set out on foot to the lively restaurant at the corner. It was Friday, January 2, two days into the New Year. He wouldn't be in Paris for much longer, so he might as well enjoy each evening. Even he didn't know which evening would be his last.
His small apartment was on the rue du Bourg Tibourg in the Marais district, not far from the Hôtel de Ville, which was no hotel, but Paris's majestic city hall. The neighborhood, which stretched across the third and fourth arrondissements on Paris's Right Bank, had been the city's most exclusive neighborhood in the seventeenth century. It had deteriorated into a sordid slum two generations ago, one of the tougher sections of the city for the Parisian police when they bothered to go into it.
Now all that had again changed. The Marais had been gentrified and rebuilt during the reign of President Francois Mitterrand — a regal Socialist, said by critics to be "the last French king" — in the 1970s. It was now a lively place in the first decade of the twenty-first century, a favorite of tourists, busy during the day with art galleries, museums, quirky shops, and restaurants. And it still had its distinctive flavor; several small shops and stores that catered to the older Jewish residents of the area, Holocaust survivors, and their descendants.
His favorite cafe, L'étincelle — "the spark" in French — anchored the square that connected the rue du Bourg Tibourg with the rue de Rivoli. This was not the tourist rue de Rivoli with the arcades that ran on one side of the Tuileries and along the Louvre, but its extension that ultimately turned into the rue Saint-Antoine and wound up in the place de la Bastille. There were few tourists here.
Daniel trudged past the South American café on the near corner, affecting the awkward hesitant gait of an old man. The night was frigid, unusual even for Paris in January. He pulled his overcoat tight. He stepped past some remaining patches of ice. His breath was a small cloud in front of him. Twenty degrees Fahrenheit. It felt colder.
His gray whiskers, a two-week growth of beard, shielded his face. He looked like an old rabbi, which was ironic, but not exactly an accident. Below the beard, he wore the white clerical collar of a priest. Under the bulky coat rested a silver cross with the body of Christ, the unmistakable sign of a Roman Catholic.
Just a few more steps and Daniel was in the restaurant.
The Spark was appropriately named. It was a bright place with a pleasant staff. One of the waitresses spotted him as he entered. Irene. She was a trim girl in her early twenties, articulate, pretty, and friendly. Like the rest of the staff she zipped around in a brown T-shirt bearing the restaurant's logo and a snug pair of jeans.
Why, if he were a younger man, he mused, watching her ... and if he weren't a priest ...
Not a priest. The thought amused him.
She had an interesting exotic face. Daniel was a student of faces. He pegged her as half French, half Algerian. Irene reminded him of this French-Algerian singer he liked named Nadiya or the American singer Norah Jones.
"Bon soir, mon Père," she said. "Hello, Father."
"Bon soir, Irène," he answered.
He had been here often enough to know the staff and their names. He pulled off his wool coat, gloves, and scarf. The restaurant smelled good. It was a good life he was living these weeks in Paris. He liked this part of the day where he could sit in a bustling place, pick up on the energy of the young people around him, and be alone with his thoughts.
"Sit anywhere you like," she said.
He nodded. He scanned. He spotted the American woman at a table by herself. Well, fortune was smiling on him. He would not be alone this evening. Rosa, as she had introduced herself on a prior evening. She was a professor of some sort, or so she said. Single, she had said, and appreciative of some unthreatening companionship as the day ended. She had never given her last name and he had never asked it.
She had held him in conversations about philosophy and theology for the last two evenings and didn't seem to have any ulterior motives, something against which Daniel was always watchful. Surely she wouldn't mind having company again. He knew he wouldn't. It was tough these days to even find a woman who could tolerate a cigar, much less a cigar smoked by a priest.
She was seated near the door. She smiled when she saw him.
He approached her table. "Mind if I join you?" he asked.
They spoke English, his with a trace of an accent that suggested eastern or south central Europe. Hers was American, flat as corn country. When she had asked about his accent, he had explained that his roots were in Hungary.
"I was a boy in Budapest," he had recounted. "That's where my parents had lived until 1956. When the Russian tanks rolled in, they fled to England and then Canada."
"Where did you go to seminary?" she had asked.
"Montréal. That's how I speak French."
She, in turn, explained that she had grown up in Kansas but now lived in New York City. He knew all about New York, it turned out. He entertained her with stories. She did likewise.
This evening, as always, Daniel folded his overcoat and placed it neatly on an extra chair at their table. He sat down. Irene brought him a cognac, gave him a cute smile, and quickly left to attend other tables.
"You're sure my cigar doesn't bother you?" Daniel asked his table companion.
"Not at all."
They fell into a conversation easily. He noticed that she was watching his hands.
She was drinking a Coca-Cola with a twist of lemon. There was music playing again tonight, so loud that one had to raise one's voice just to be heard. A friendly din. Lots of conversation in several languages, lots of glasses clinking and plates clattering. L'étincelle was a cheerful upbeat joint.
A few minutes into their conversation, she raised a hand and waved to a man who came in the door and surveyed the place.
"Oh! There's a friend of mine!" she said. "He's going to join us."
Daniel didn't like that. For no reason, or for every reason, he didn't like it at all. He had an acute antenna, and he sensed something was wrong. He looked at the stranger with a stare that could bore a hole in a cinderblock wall.
But before Daniel could object, the newcomer slid into the extra chair, the one closest to the door. Daniel took him to be American before he even opened his mouth. He looked like a businessman of some sort. Another sign of trouble.
There was an awkward moment. The man looked at Daniel with intent dark eyes. Rosa offered no introduction. That in and of itself was enough of a further clue.
Three strikes and —
"What?" Daniel asked, looking back and forth, hoping he might be wrong.
"You're not an old man, Father Daniel," she said.
"You're not my friends," he answered.
"And you're not a priest," the man said. "You're not even Catholic."
Daniel moved his hand quickly under his jacket, reaching for the gun that he carried for just such moments. But Rosa thrust her hand roughly after his, momentarily deflecting his grasp and minimizing any possibility that he might defend himself.
At the same time, the newcomer, quickly and professionally, reached across the table with a small snub-nosed handgun. He pressed it right to Daniel's chest and he pulled the trigger.
The gun erupted with an ear-splitting bang. It was barely audible above the noise of the restaurant, though diners at some tables started to look around.
Daniel's face showed shock, then outrage. Then all that dissolved with accelerating pain. The bullet had smashed the sternum at the midpoint of his chest. The gunman followed his advantage with a second shot. Another powerful bang. He squeezed that one off so quickly and accurately that it passed directly through Daniel's heart.
The woman braced his body and steadied it so that Daniel didn't tumble. Instead, with a helpful little push, Daniel slid forward, his body slumping onto the table as if he were drunk.
The gunman pocketed his weapon and rose to his feet. Rosa did the same. They used their hands to shield their faces and moved quickly to the door. Only as they were going through it did they start to hear a commotion behind them. Loud agitated conversation built into shouting.
Several seconds later young Irene came to the table to see what was wrong.
She saw the shattered brandy glass under Daniel's lifeless head. She saw his unfocused eyes and his blood mixing with the cognac on the table.
Her hands flew to her face and she started to scream. The evening manager, a fit young man named Gerard, rushed over. But by this time, Daniel's two acquaintances had disappeared into the dark side streets and alleys.
They were gone into the icy night, leaving their victim behind.
Chapter TwoAs the same cold midwinter gripped the eastern United States, Alexandra LaDuca sat at her desk in Washington DC, at a few minutes past nine in the morning. Her desk, and her job, was at the main building of the United States Department of the Treasury on Pennsylvania Avenue and Fifteenth Street.
She pondered the fraudulent document before her, received via the US mail by a citizen who had brought a complaint to the Treasury Department. It was not that Alex hadn't seen thousands of similar pitches, and it was not that she hadn't heard sob stories from people who had been similarly swindled. And it wasn't that such chicanery so violated her sense of decency and fair play.
No, what bothered her most was that anyone would be so venal as to make a living through such outright crookery ... and that any victim would be gullible enough to fall for it. The correspondence was on a fancy letterhead:
Foreign Remittance Department Central Credit Bank of Nigeria Tinubu Square, Victoria Island Lagos, Nigeria
There was the first duet of lies. There existed nowhere on the planet, Alex knew, any such department or any such bank. She sometimes wondered if Lagos existed, other than in her own bad dreams. But she knew Lagos did exist because she had spent a couple of weeks there a year earlier investigating a similar fraud. The only success of the previous trip had been in what hadn't happened. She had successfully avoided getting killed.
The scam continued:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Immediate Contract Payment Contract #: Mav/Nnpc/Fgn/ Min/009 / Next of Kin Fund/ US$16.3m
From the records of outstanding Next of Kin Fund due for payment with the Federal Government of Nigeria, your name was discovered on the list of the outstanding payments who have not yet received their funds.
We wish to inform you that your payment is being processed. We will release said funds to you immediately as soon as you respond to this letter. Also note that from records in my file your outstanding payment is US$16,300,000. Kindly reconfirm to me the followings:
Your full name.
Phone, fax and mobile number ...
Yeah, sure. Sixteen million bucks in an offer as phony as a unicorn with a three dollar bill on its nose. She simmered. She had seen enough of these to last a lifetime.
Alex LaDuca, at age twenty-nine, worked as a senior investigator with a little-publicized agency of the US Treasury: the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCen. The agency enforced laws against domestic and international financial crimes that targeted US citizens and corporations. She was actually a special agent of the FBI but on loan to FinCen to combat international financial fraud.
Her boss was a stocky little man named Mike Gamburian from Boston. His office featured a mural of a triumphant Fenway Park in October of 2004, a moment when the Red Sox finally won something. The New York employees who worked for him, in grudging good humor, claimed the mural created "a hostile work environment." Aside from that, Gamburian was a genial fellow and not unpleasant to work for.
Alex was one of FinCen's shrewdest investigators, as well as one of the toughest. She was also the youngest to have "senior" status. And she didn't lack for assignments. With the proliferation of the Internet, fraud had gone global and high tech. Financial fraud was a growth industry.
The shameless scam continued ...
As soon as this information is received, your payment will be made to you in A Certified Bank Draft or wired to your nominated bank account directly from Central Bank of Nigeria.
You can mail me on my direct email address ...
Yeah, Alex thought, shaking her head. Don't even try to phone because a phone call can be traced. She skipped ahead. It was signed,
Regards, Dr. Samuel Ifraim Executive Governor, Central Credit Bank of Nigeria (CCBN)
Right. Sure. A fake name with a fake doctorate. And the "CC" in the CCBN might just as easily stand for Crooks and Criminals.
The scam was known at FinCen as a 419, named after a widely unenforced section of the Nigerian criminal code. Millions of these stinky little con jobs circulated across the globe each year, most emanating from West Africa.
They were all the same. They claimed that due to certain circumstances — disbursement of will proceeds, sale of a business, sale of cheap crude oil, a winning email address in an Internet lottery, or something similarly unlikely — a bank needed help to transfer this money to the lucky recipient's account in the United States. If the recipient assisted them he or she would be entitled to a percentage of the funds.
If contacted, the scam artists would request thousands of dollars for various costs that were required before the lucky winner got the share of the funds. Of course, the victim's payment went through but — surprise — the transfer of riches never happened.
The scam was as widespread as it was shameless. In 2002 the US Department of Justice had gained a court order to open all mail from Nigeria passing through JFK airport in New York. Around seventy-five percent had involved scam offers. Much of it even bore counterfeit postage.
And then there had been her nightmarish trip to Lagos the previous year. A mission from the United States Treasury had sought to present evidence that much of the swindling was being done with the apparent complicity of the Nigerian government.
The hosts in Lagos didn't take well to that theory. While the Americans were meeting with representatives of the government, their hotel rooms were sacked and trashed. Their clothes were taken, their suitcases slashed, and death threats scrawled on the walls. Of five staff cars used by Treasury representatives and belonging to the US Embassy, three were stolen and one was chopped apart with a chain saw while their meeting was in progress. A fifth blew up, killing their Nigerian chauffeur.
So much for a little international fieldwork. Most members of the delegation felt lucky to touch down again physically unharmed on American soil.
Alex filed the paperwork before her. The 419s would be around for as long as people would fall for them. The fight against them would continue. But in the absence of follow-up at the source — when a foreign government might be aiding the perpetrators — they could only be contained, not defeated. Not that she was going to ignore them. She wasn't above a personal vendetta or two for criminals who deserved to be put out of business. She had a long memory for such things and could be stubborn as a bulldog once she got her teeth into a case.
But she had more immediate dragons to slay. There was a messy business involving untaxed wine imports from France. There was a perplexing matter about some art stolen by the Nazis from a wealthy Jewish collector who had died in the Holocaust; a Swiss bank denied culpability despite the fact that a looted Pissarro had been hanging in the New York office of the bank president for the last thirty years. And then there was a whole sheaf of various non-419 Internet frauds that seemed to be associated with an online casino operation in Costa Rica.
If human beings invested the same ingenuity in eradicating disease and hunger that they did in swindling each other, the world might be a better place ... and she might happily be in another line of work, one that would have put her on the front lines in the fight against worldwide oppression, ignorance, disease, hunger, and poverty, causes she felt were compatible with her guiding principles. Sometimes she thought she should have become a doctor. She would have been an excellent one and could easily have become one.
But human beings didn't manifest such ingenuity and Alex hadn't become a doctor. So she did what she could. She enjoyed sticking up for victims. Out in the field, she had several teams of investigators who worked for her. The day was young. It was time to see what cases were shaping up for arrests or prosecution. She dug in for a day of combat, matching wits with various crooks across the world and on the Internet.

Why Jesus Was, and Is, a Political Threat
This is not the talk of charity and giving Christmas toys and turkeys to the less fortunate. The language of Mary is the narrative of revolution and redistribution, two words that the powers that be just hate. And while the revolution that Christ brings is not violent, it is nonetheless completely transformational. Mary got it.
Herod did too. The nearest political ruler to the birth of Christ immediately saw the possible implications for him.

Barbara Carlotti
Wed Aug 1 2007
Rose Live Music; Thu 2
Joe's Pub; Fri 3
Perhaps the most noticeable thing about Barbara Carlotti is what she does not do. She does not coo her words or breeze through her melodies—her cool, precise mezzo timbre eschews such obvious seductive tactics and slices out whatever extraneous fat would burden the material. Nor does Carlotti hide behind carefully constructed kookiness—another trendy option among current singer-songwriters. Instead, her 2006 album, Les Lys brisés (the first French release on 4AD), relies on the clean production style of the 1960s, with its elastic basslines and dry drum sound, acoustic guitars strummed so crisply that you can almost feel the pressure of fingers against strings. This restraint helps make Les Lys brisés a marvel of timeless elegance and dry humor—no wonder Carlotti's French-language cover of the Zombies' "A Rose for Emily" fits so perfectly on the album.

Specifically for the gyro, but in general for all sensors:
What is the accuracy? i.e. what is the smallest angular rate of change that the gyro can detect?
What is the error? i.e. X rad/s +/- y mrad/s ?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Generally this info isn't available as the sensors can often change. If an application is coded for playbook using noise/accuracy/error info specific to playbook sensors, the application might not perform well on another product.
Having said that, take a look at sensor_info(sensor_type_t type, sensor_info_t **info), it contains some of the info you are interested in.

Icelandic Fisheries Management: Fees versus Quotas
We discuss the quota system by which Iceland's fisheries have been managed since 1984, and explore its implications for economic efficiency as well as fairness. We argue that the shortcomings of the Icelandic quota system are inherent in any type of quota system applied to high-seas fishing. Further, we find that regulating access to a limited, stochastic common-property natural resource such as Iceland's fish by fee rather than by quota – i.e., by relying on price incentives rather than quantitative restrictions – would constitute a more equitable and more efficient solution to the fisheries management problem. Our argument applies to the management of all open-seas fisheries, including the Common Fisheries Policy of the European Union.

Reeves-Reed Arboretum is dedicated to preserving the past and imagining the future of American gardening. Our landscapes include natural woodlands, open vistas that owe much to 19th century visionaries like Andrew Downing and Frederick Law Olmsted (Olmsted's partner Calvert Vaux actually produced the first design for the property), and more formal gardens that exemplify the Country Place movement of the early 20th century.
Three Reeves-Reed gardens are maintained as closely as possible to their original appearance, while the Time Capsule Garden moves through time and space.More Info »

Reeves-Reed Arboretum is listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places. Its estate and gardens represent design trends by prominent landscape architects of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Lenni Lenape Native Americans passed through the property on their route from the coastal areas near Elizabeth, NJ to Schooley's Mountain, further inland. During the Revolutionary period, the area was adjacent to the Old Sow Revolutionary War Cannon and the Signal Beacon atop Beacon Hill. Learn more about these early eras, as well as the Wisners, the founding family of "The Clearing" (as the Arboretum was originally called) and the Reeves and Reed families.
Long before European settlers came to this region, it was inhabited by the Lenni Lenape Indians, a mobile, hunter-gatherer society.More Info »

Children enjoying a ride on the miniature railway at the Brisbane Ekka in 1948
Photographer: Unidentified
Location: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Description: The first exhibition on the site of the Brisbane Exhibition Grounds dates to August 1876, with the staging of the first Queensland Intercolonial Exhibition. In 1920 the Prince of Wales [later Edward VIII] visited the Exhibition, following which the Association moved to incorporate the word Royal into its name as the Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland, which over the years has been reduced, unofficially, to the Royal National Association [RNA]. The Exhibition is known locally as the 'Ekka'.

University of Wisconsin Stout | Wisconsin's Polytechnic University
Celebrating 125 Years
UW-Stout celebrates 125 years of creative learning and technological innovation. Learn more about UW-Stout's history and polytechnic advantage. More
A Wisconsin native and author will discuss the importance of place in people's lives during a talk at University of Wisconsin-Stout.
Ann Peters, author of "House Hold: A Memoir of Place," will visit UW-Stout and read from her new book from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Thursday, March 27, in room 206 of the Robert S. Swanson Library and Learning Center.
The event, free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Literature Committee of the English and philosophy department; College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; and Honors College.
Parking in UW-Stout lots is free after 4 p.m.
Peters grew up in a house built by her father, an architect, on a hill in eastern Wisconsin. In the book, she revisits the memories of that home as well as from apartments during two decades of living in New York City. She also travels to a cabin in the mountains of Colorado and writes about purchasing an old farmhouse in upstate New York.
"House Hold," published in February, is described by publisher University of Wisconsin Press as "an expansive contemplation of America, a meditation on place and property and an exploration of how literature shapes our thinking about the places we live."
Peters weaves into her narrative her love of books, with musings on Henry James, Willa Cather, William Dean Howells, Paule Marshall, William Maxwell and others. "Peters reflects on the romance of pastoral retreat, the hazards of nostalgia and America's history of expansion and land ownership," UW Press says.
Peters is an associate professor at Stern College, Yeshiva University, New York, and the recipient of the 2012 McGinnis Ritchie Award for Nonfiction.

Galliford Try
Our view: Buy
Share price: 46.25p (-0.75p)
Galliford Try has spent the past 12 months or so reminding investors that more than 90 per cent of its business comes from public-sector construction work, just as the market for its other arm, housebuilding, has struggled.
Yesterday's announcement that the group has won the contract to redevelop Kent College will help its public sector contracting credentials and, with Galliford's stock up by more than a third in the past year at a time when ordinary housebuilders have struggled, the message is clearly starting to get through.
We last looked at the company in January, when the shares traded at 35p. At that point, many of the analysts said the shares were cheap, but some warned that the stock would tread water during the recession. Those in the latter group may not have anticipated the recent share price rises but, according to those at KBC Peel Hunt, the shares are still undervalued. They say: "The construction and social housing businesses, even if valued on an aggressively low price-earnings ratio, still show a valuation greater than the current share price ... these parts of the group alone are worth more than 50p. Treat infrastructure as being at a cyclical low and meriting a 'recovery rating,' this rises well above 60p. These valuation models exclude housing, which is looking increasingly interesting and, even as the cycle still turns down, it adds some 22p to the above numbers."
We think any housebuilder, no matter how small the business, will naturally be discounted, but we do agree that the stock is cheap and at these levels it is still worth a bet.
Ten Alps
Our view: Hold
Share price: 26.75p (+1p)
When Sir Bob Geldof is one of your biggest shareholders, it is not tricky to get attention, but the television production group Ten Alps reckons it has the strategy to hit headlines for reasons other than having a celebrity backer.
Investors may well agree, judging by the group's full-year numbers, published yesterday, when it announced a small increase in annual pre-tax profits.
The chief executive, Alex Connock, lauds the company's decision to move more of its operations online and to concentrate its efforts on business-to-business broadcasts in more defensive sectors. Mr Connock also claims that demand for its documentaries, which in the past year have covered topics such as international diplomacy, social dislocation caused by the recession and the leadership of Gordon Brown, has risen: the rise of reality TV, which was much predicted (and feared in some quarters) a few years ago, has not materialised, claims Mr Connock.
Ordinarily we would be quite sceptical about media companies in recession, and even though Mr Connock says he is concerned about a downturn in advertising, we are impressed by moves the company has made to guard against trickier conditions.
Sadly for punters, we are not the only ones, and after a 20 per cent hike in the share price in the past month, even before yesterday's jump, the stock is already fairly priced, say the watchers at Oriel Securities. They add: "Trading on six times 2010 [earnings] versus Informa and UBM on about seven times, [which have] greater visibility, geographic exposure and scale, the shares look fully rated."
We do like Ten Alps and would encourage investors to back the group, but we would monitor the share price and look to get in at a cheaper level.
Webis Holding
Our view: Hold
Share price: 2.75p (unchanged)
One interesting aspect of this recession is that the online gambling groups have managed to keep their heads above water, despite being utterly reliant on discretionary spending.
There were those that feared the industry would suffer, and given that online gaming did not exist the last time we had a downturn, initially there was a sell-off in the shares when things started getting hairy a few months ago.
Webis Holding, the group that operates betinternet.com, issued its full-year trading statement yesterday, saying that it has "generated strong year-on-year growth". That is all very well, and we applaud the group for doing well in what is a tough market, but we would not buy the shares.
The stock spiked at the time of its interim results, when news of strong profits gave the group a shot in the arm. Webis has a market capitalisation of less than £6m, and as such we see the share price as being news driven: there was no indication that the full-year numbers will be anything less then in-line with previous announcements, suggesting that the good performance is already priced into the stock. No doubt Webis is a good company, but we think potential shareholders have missed the boat.

New York bassist and composer Devin Gray leads the quartet of Ellery Eskelin on tenor sax, Dave Ballou on trumpet, and Michael Formanek also on bass, playing 8 original compositions of melodic creative jazz.
Gray, Devin
Dirigo Rataplan
Label: Skirl
Released in: USA
"In today's crowded jazz market, it's an achievement to come up with a signature group sound. And yet, this is just one of the wonderful things immediately apparent on Devin Gray's Dirigo Rataplan. An amazing percussionist, Gray's stunningly detailed playing sounds like a cross between Fritz Hauser and Roy Haynes.
He flashes some serious compositional chops as well. Dirigo Rataplan is comprised of eight bright, restless originals that are complex and intimate, brainy and engaging, and occasionally a bit outré. Making all of this great music come alive is Gray's phenomenal quartet. Saxophonist Ellery Eskelin and trumpeter Dave Ballou are a formidable front line, and both are absolutely at the tops of their respective games here. Eskelin marvelously dissolves the rambunctious abstract funk of "Cancel The Cancel" into a foggy landscape of whispers and questions. Like Eskelin, Ballou has a lush sound and a seemingly endless wealth of ideas. His solo on "Down Time" is beautifully constructed, rising from the melody like a raven taking flight. Michael Formanek is another great choice-a veteran bassist who's played a similar sort of advanced, creative jazz for decades in his own bands, as well as those led by saxophonist Tim Berne and pianist Uri Caine.
"Quadraphonically" may be the disc's most radical track. Inspired by bird song, melodies and rhythms intertwine. Gray's playing here is uncannily tuneful, and Formanek doesn't go anywhere near a traditional jazz bass line, hewing closer to the tune's mercurial melodic content. Still, it grooves like mad, especially as Ballou and Eskelin solo over the explorations of the deeply connected rhythm section. It's a perfect example of the famed Weather Report dictum, "everyone solos and no one solos." Gray is fond of collective improvisations, and nearly all of the pieces feature conversational pairings of different members of the quartet.
This continually shifting sound palette makes for a highly stimulating listen. Though fractured and twisted funk rhythms of various sorts figure prominently on "Cancel the Cancel," "Down Time," and "Talking With Hands," Gray's intent never wavers from the cutting edge. While they access freer, looser rhythmic structures, and darker moods, on "Prospect Park In The Dark," "Thickets," and "Otaku," each of these lovely, brooding pieces is imbued with a relentless forward motion. The closing "Katahdin" is a Berne-like burner that ties all of these elements together in a cogent manner.
As wonderful as the music is, the packaging is not so. Coming in a DVD-sized holder, the largely red, black, and white design seems to have a color or two missing, rendering the track listing and Gray's brief notes on each composition practically illegible. So, put the CD case down, and listen to this beautifully played, impeccably recorded music and be amazed. Every track on this magical CD brims with creativity and inspiration. Dirigo Rataplan is one of this year's very best."-Dave Wayne, All About Jazz

Local History: Tunicans do their part to aid war effort
And then there were War Bonds and Stamps.
By Christmas of 1944, Tunica County residents were buying war bonds for the sixth war loan campaign. Bing Crosby was on the radio urging all patriotic Americans to "Buy, buy, buy a bond. Even if you can't be a soldier in the ranks, you can be the guy who buys the guns, the ships, the planes, and tanks."

Australian Institute of Renewable Energy
Solar Air Conditioning, Solar Hybrid Air Conditioning, Solar Hybrid Air Conditioners
Air conditioning is one of the most significant costs to Australian households. Whilst it definitely makes life more comfortable, rapidly escalating power costs are making air conditioning in many homes a luxury. Not anymore!
The Green Flow Hybrid Solar Air-Conditioning system has now been released into Australia. Using cutting edge hybrid technology, this air-conditioning system uses a combination of solar power and mains electricity, effectively reducing operating costs and power bills.
The system utilises the ambient temperature as an additional heat source to bolster the energy needed to drive the cooling process of the air-conditioning system. So it even works at night. This substantially reduces the electrical consumption required to run the compressor, resulting in savings of up to 67%* on electricity costs. All air-conditioning systems operate on gasses as the refrigeration process takes place by evaporating liquid. Conventional air-conditioning systems lose significant quantities of 'the heat' that generates 'the cold'.
Green Flow Hybrid Solar Air Conditioning uniquely harnesses the sun's energy to super-heat the refrigerant, thus ensuring far greater compressor efficiency.
* Compared to the same unit, size, btu under same environmental conditions without Greenflow solar and inverter technology.

After high hopes of a sustained run, the new-issues market is flagging.
Former Tesco chief Sir Terry Leahy will manage to get the discount retailer B&M away and state aid rules mean Lloyds has to get cracking with a TSB share sale, but many City advisers have already moved their horizons back to the autumn.These are the chaps who once again cynically exploited the renewed appetite for equities by overpricing and over-hyping.
The downbeat mood created an interesting backdrop for lunch this week with the stockbroker Paul Killik, a veteran of the Thatcher-era share-buying boom. On the back of a series of state privatisations such as BT, Killik, then a partner at Quilter Goodison, opened Britain's first share shop in Debenhams on Oxford Street in London that had day traders queuing through the bedding department.
Quilter was bought by the French bank Paribas in 1986, so he used his private-client expertise to found Killik & Co from a chemist shop in Chelsea three years later. He's still growing, with almost £4bn of assets invested for more than 20,000 clients.
A different threat comes in the form of Brussels' Prospectus Directive, which has slapped a €100,000 (£84,000) lower limit on trading bond issues in the secondary market that aren't accompanied by a retail-friendly prospectus. Killik's fear is that new equity issues could eventually face similar rules, which seek to nanny where individuals are able to put their money but actually end up putting institutional investors at a distinct advantage.
What is forgotten, he says, is that three-quarters of the £650bn of privately invested money in Britain is run through firms that charge for advice, instead of just mechanically carrying out transactions. Whereas high street banks have largely withdrawn from offering investment tips after a string of mis-selling scandals, the host of private-client brokers have not.
It is true that retail investors would have welcomed being saved from some of the lukewarm initial public offerings of the past few months: Just Eat and the electrical appliances website AO World spring to mind. Even Saga, the golden oldies' insurer with a strong consumer following, underwhelmed. But please don't prevent investors who should take a long-term view when considering equities from making up their own mind.
The problems of being a big fish in a small pond
The inscrutable Leif Johansson had the chance to focus on his other job this week after Pfizer finally called time on its interest in AstraZeneca. The Swede is chairman of the British drug maker, which has a Swedish side thanks to the 1999 merger of Astra with ICI's former pharmaceuticals arm Zeneca. Mr Johansson also chairs the resolutely Swedish Ericsson, the maker of telecoms kit such as base stations and routers that carry 40 per cent of the world's mobile traffic.
On a recent visit to our offices, Ericsson's chief executive Hans Vestberg talked expansively about the future of communications but was more cautious about corporate sovereignty. He spends barely five working days a month in his home country as he jets between Ericsson's 180 markets.
Any country likes to claim the headquarters and nationality of a global business as its own. But commercial realities mean that flag-waving is no guarantee of favouritism, especially if you happen to be a big company in small country.
Vestberg's predecessor, Carl-Henric Svanberg, now chairman of BP, was fêted as the "gentle conqueror" for leading a rash of takeovers without ever resorting to going hostile. But he was cast as the local villain for axeing thousands of Swedish jobs during the economic downturn. Ericsson's home workforce has shrunk from 40,000 to 17,000 in a decade.
Such a radical reshaping could be the secret to Ericsson's success, when you consider that the lumbering Nokia in neighbouring Finland lost its way so spectacularly. As Vestberg, who has posted half of his direct reports overseas, said: "In order to be competitive you need to be in the place the business is."
When the old guard stop things moving forward
A further exit from Centrica focused the mind on how challenging running a consumer-facing energy business has become. But another departure thousands of miles away, that of Infosys president BG Srinivas, had a sharper impact on the Indian IT outsourcer's share price than Chris Weston quitting the British Gas owner.
Just as Centrica needs to remake itself with a new management team, Infosys is groping for a better future. It has been a year since its former leader Narayana Murthy was drafted back into service to arrest a worrying drop in profits and slowing growth.
His biggest job is to find a new chief executive, a role that Srinivas, who has gone to Hong Kong to run PCCW, would have well suited. One of the main problems for Infosys is that most of the shots are still called by seven founders who quit their jobs in 1981 to start up on their own with just $250 of funds.
What the company needs is at least one fresh pair of eyes. In that regard, Centrica is in the same boat. Where they differ is that the energy group's old guard are not overstaying their welcome.Reuse content

ARLINGTON, Texas – Evan Longoria(notes) can punish a meatball. By the ninth inning Saturday night, every fat fastball fed to Longoria ought have come with a hazmat label. He had done it again two innings earlier, this home run off Koji Uehara(notes), who left an 88-mph (fast)ball in Longoria's wheelhouse and bore the same expression as all his other victims: stupid, stupid, stupid.
Another round of self-loathing remained eminently possible in the ninth, when Longoria stepped to the plate with his Tampa Bay Rays trailing the Texas Rangers 8-6, a runner on first and an entirely different pitcher than Uehara on the mound. There stood Neftali Feliz(notes), whose changeup is harder than 88 mph. His fastball was sitting at 99 mph, propelled by an easy arm action and infused by the adrenaline more than 51,000 on their feet at Rangers Ballpark created.
Already Longoria has provided a season's worth of epic moments in less than a week: the three-run home run that started the comeback on the day's last season, the 12th-inning homer that night that sent Tampa Bay to the postseason and the one off Uehara that cut a four-run deficit to 7-6. He just hadn't done so against the unbridled filth that originates from Feliz's right arm.
The first fastball came at 99 mph, then a slider at 81, and another fastball at 99 before one more slider at 79 that Longoria lifted to shallow center field. He threw his bat in disgust, saw Craig Gentry(notes) cradle it, went to the dugout, got a pat on the butt from his manager, banged his bat once more and watched Feliz finish off the Rays for an 8-6 victory that evened their American League Division Series at one game apiece.
"Neffy's not the easiest to hit, even if you are hot," said Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland(notes), whose solo home run in the eighth gave Feliz a two-run cushion. "When he's bringing it at you like he does, good luck."
From Feliz to Alexi Ogando(notes) to Derek Holland(notes), the Rangers unleashed three of the hardest-throwing pitchers alive in one ballgame, a testament to their ability to develop velocity monsters. Whether it's the throwing program instituted by team president and radar-gun maestro Nolan Ryan, a scouting predilection that trends toward the more-velo-the-better school or some combination therein, the Rangers have two or three flamethrowers for every Uehara.
[Y! Sports Shop: Show off your team support with playoffs garb]
And minus the Longoria home run, their pitching excelled the day after Rays rookie Matt Moore(notes) used his very own 97-mph fastball to throw seven scoreless innings. Holland wasn't quite as good, laboring through five, but the stuff was evident, particularly the fastball. Only one other regular left-handed starter in the major leagues threw as hard as Holland this season: David Price(notes), the Rays' star who averaged 94.8 mph to Holland's 94.2 mph.
Holland lacks Price's control, his fastball as erratic as his mustache, which kindly could be called the worst in the world, and which unkindly could be called the worst in the history of the world. It is little wisps of hair so sparse it might not even take a microscope to count them. He has no plans to shave, even though it might take only one pass with a five-blade razor. Holland grew it out because his friends in Ohio were doing the same thing, only theirs are respectable whereas Holland admits: "I know it's not good. It's bad. You can make me feel good and tell me it looks good."
It doesn't. His arm did, though, good enough to survive five innings and hold Longoria hitless in three plate appearances. Holland allowed one earned run and two more unearned on his throwing error. That preceded Matt Joyce's(notes) home run, spotted Tampa Bay a 3-0 lead and gave the Rays an even greater opportunity to close out the best-of-five series during Games 3 or 4 at home.
Then the Rangers scored five runs off James Shields(notes) in the fourth inning and in the sixth turned to Ogando, who two weeks ago was polishing off an impressive first season as a starter with his 13th victory. Already he threw harder than any full-season starter at 95.1 mph. Moved to the bullpen to keep his innings total down, Ogando picked up another four mph for his short stint, overwhelming and overpowering the Rays.
The clamor for Ogando going more than one inning intensified when Longoria abused Uehara. Fear not: Manager Ron Washington said he does plan to use Ogando in multi-inning stints. Anyway, he could turn instead to Mike Adams(notes), who doesn't throw quite as hard as Ogando or Feliz but does feature the most wicked cut fastball this side of Mariano Rivera(notes).
When Rangers general manager Jon Daniels built this team, the bullpen was its distinct weakness. Remember, as all the talk in spring training centered on Feliz's potential move to the rotation, the Rangers were considering using Mark Lowe(notes) in his stead at closer. Lowe isn't even on the postseason roster.
Deadline trades for Adams, Uehara and Mike Gonzalez, plus the return of Ogando, brings immense power to the back end of the bullpen. Only two other players this postseason will threaten to hit 100 mph like Feliz and Ogando: Detroit starter Justin Verlander(notes) and St. Louis reliever Jason Motte(notes).
Velocity, of course, is overrated in lesser hands than the Rangers' crew. When Holland, Feliz and Ogando can throw strikes, they devastate opponents. Longoria still can wreck such pitches, as he did Scott Proctor's(notes) arrow-straight 95-mph cookie Friday; the chance of a piddling fly ball is just far likelier.
"Longoria is becoming a very elite player," Washignton said, "but even the elite can't jump the yard every night at will."
Texas limited him to one jump, thanks very much. Feliz looked back on the at-bat and rejected the idea that nerves accompany every Longoria swing. Feliz is a closer. He believes he owns the ninth inning. Even if some deity is in the box swinging a thunderbolt.
"I want to get him out soon," Feliz said, and get him he did, much like his teammates' sneak attack on Shields after playing possum for three innings. Feliz finished the night on a 98-mph fastball with which Ben Zobrist(notes) could do nothing, because, well, how much is there to do on a 98-mph fastball? Those extra few ticks on the radar gun often represent greatness, and the Rangers' clubhouse is teeming with it. Ogando looked great. Feliz looked great. The Rangers looked great.
Now if they could just do something about that mustache.
