Pioneer Moon Ranch - Recently Sold
Once owned by legendary Hollywood actor Steve McQueen, the 500± acre Pioneer Moon Ranch lies at the foot of the Pioneer Mountains surrounded by breathtaking beauty 25 minutes from downtown Ketchum and the famous Sun Valley Resort. The ranch is defined by the East Fork of the Big Wood River, an intimate freestone stream which flows the length of the property for a mile and a half through open meadows dotted with colorful wildflowers, vigorous stands of willow and aspen, and 150± acres of rich irrigated bottomland pasture. The East Fork and its lush riparian corridor support an array of wildlife, including moose, deer, elk, and a wild rainbow trout fishery. The ranch adjoins the Sawtooth National Forest and federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and is immediately accessible to miles of hiking, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, and backcountry skiing.
The beautifully maintained residential compound is located between two branches of the East Fork to maximize privacy and comfort. The compound features a classic 1,625± sq. ft., two-story log home with covered porches that was built in 1990 and remodeled in 1999 and 2010, and a 1,542± sq. ft. log annex constructed in 2010 with an adjoining 1,728± sq. ft. garage.
The residence features two bedrooms/two baths, finished wood floors, kitchen with high-end appliances, living/dining area, custom European-style recirculating rock fireplace, and a loft/library. The annex has a large bedroom and library, one-and-a-half baths, an open formal dining room for entertaining, and a fully equipped wet bar. The roomy 4-bay garage, with ample storage space and work area, can accommodate cars, trucks, trailers, and farm equipment. The annex and garage blend seamlessly with the residence and are only steps away. All utilities are underground. The home and annex are surrounded by manicured lawns connecting to a network of lovely trails that cross the East Fork on sturdy log bridges and wander through open meadows interspersed with shady aspen stands. Views from the ranch of the surrounding peaks and foothills are dramatic and include Bald Mountain, Sun Valley's ski venue, in the distance.
This unique property can support horses and cattle. Its undeveloped land, which includes a forested hillside of Douglas fir culminating on a high ridge, offers a variety of secluded building sites for the buyer who might want to build a second residence. This potential for expansion, the extensive river frontage, and a location in one of the most peaceful, secluded, and least developed areas near Sun Valley puts the Pioneer Moon Ranch at the very top of must-see properties currently available in the greater Wood River Valley.
Pioneer Moon Ranch is located in the heart of the Pioneer Mountains, 25 minutes southeast of the resort communities of Ketchum and Sun Valley. The town of Hailey, county seat for Blaine County, with its supermarkets, hardware stores, banks, pharmacies and major car dealerships, is a half-hour drive southwest of the property. Hailey's Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN) offers daily commercial air service on SkyWest (Delta) and Horizon (Alaska). Atlantic Aviation, a fixed base operation located at Friedman, provides a full range of services for private aircraft, including larger jets. Twin Falls, Idaho, with major retailers such as Costco, Target, and Home Depot, is about 85 miles to the south and offers alternate commercial air service through Magic Valley Regional Airport (TWF). Pioneer Moon lies approximately 8 miles east of Idaho State Highway 75 and is easily reached year-round from Ketchum and Hailey on East Fork Road.
Situated on the southern edge of the vast central Idaho wilderness, Blaine County is renown for its wide open spaces, natural beauty, scenic mountain ranges, river systems, fish and wildlife resources, and outdoor recreation. Nearly 80 percent of the county's land base is in federal and state ownership, and because the county's economy is driven in large part by tourism and agriculture, policies governing these extensive public lands are strongly influenced by property owners, local businesses, and conservation organizations dedicated to preserving and protecting the region's natural resources and rural character. Ranches like Pioneer Moon, which border these public lands and in many instances depend on them for grazing and other economic uses, are the direct beneficiaries of these policies.
Most of Blaine County's 21,000± residents live in the Wood River Valley communities of Sun Valley, Ketchum, Hailey and Bellevue. Here such popular events as the Hailey Rodeo, Ketchum's Wagon Days celebration, The Trailing of the Sheep Festival, the Northern Rockies Folk Festival, summer symphonies and concerts at the Sun Valley Pavilion, and the nationally recognized Sun Valley Writer's Conference attract thousands of visitors each year. The area also offers a vast selection of outdoor activities, including world class downhill skiing on Bald Mountain, cross-country skiing on extensive groomed trails, snowshoeing, hiking, cycling, golf and tennis, river rafting, blue ribbon fly fishing, and upland and big game hunting -- all complimented by critically acclaimed restaurants, galleries featuring the best of the arts, and high end shopping.
This is a generous, civic-minded community with a longstanding commitment to philanthropy. A host of charitable organizations call the area home and support a variety of social, environmental, lifestyle, and family-based causes. St. Luke's Wood River Medical Center, a top-flight, full-service hospital, and the Community Library, one of the most successful libraries of its size in the country, both in Ketchum, were built with and are sustained by strong community support. Blaine County also features a very fine public education system as well as two highly regarded independent schools, the Community School in Sun Valley (K-12) and the Sage School in Hailey (6-12).
Secluded and stunningly beautiful, Pioneer Moon Ranch represents a unique opportunity to own one of the largest intact properties remaining in the upper Wood River Valley just 25 minutes from downtown Ketchum and the Sun Valley Resort. The ranch is bordered by the Sawtooth National Forest to the north and east and lands managed by the BLM to the north. Large private tracts adjoin the ranch to the north, south, and west. The property is generally rectangular in shape and measures approximately a mile and a half in length from east to west and three-quarters of a mile in width from north to south.
East Fork Road, a seasonal out-and-back road which is used to access the national forest and trailheads east of the ranch, crosses the property along its northern boundary. Cove Creek Road, which connects East Fork Road with the public lands in Cove Creek basin south of the ranch, provides access to the ranch's very private residential compound at the western end of the property. The balance of the ranch is undeveloped and comprised of irrigated pasture, sub-irrigated meadows, elevated sagebrush uplands, timbered hillside, and an extensive riparian area associated with the East Fork of the Big Wood which flows the length of the ranch for over a mile and a half. The ranch supports horses and cattle, and the owners currently lease the irrigated pasture to a local rancher for seasonal cattle grazing.
500± deeded acres
Improvements are nestled in a very private residential compound at the western end of the property between two branches of the East Fork. The compound, which is screened by mature trees and native vegetation, is set back from the ranch entrance and gives one the sense of total seclusion.
Surrounded by lush green lawns with underground sprinkler systems, the main residence is a 1,625± sq. ft., two-story, classic log home built in 1990 and remodeled by the current owners in 1999 and 2010. This immaculate mountain home, designed for comfort and usability, features two bedrooms and two baths, kitchen with top end appliances, living/dining area, custom European-style recirculating fireplace, comfortable loft library, and covered porches.
A separate 1,542± sq. ft. log annex built in 2010 blends seamlessly with the residence and is located just a few steps away. This roomy structure with an open, relaxed atmosphere has a dining area and wet bar for entertaining, a library, large bedroom, and one-and-a-half baths. As with the residence, the annex features covered porches and unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains. A 1,728± sq. ft., spacious 4-bay garage attached to the annex houses cars, trucks, trailers and farm equipment. Two of its bays are heated, and there is also a loft for additional living and work space.
The residential compound also features a large fire pit with log benches, a built-in outdoor parrilla (an Argentine-style grill), and a hot tub with sun-drenched southern views. A lovely, wandering trail system leads from the lawn across the East Fork into stands of aspen and through meadows of wildflowers. An open-front shed provides summer equipment storage and a custom-built wooden round pen is in place for training and working with horses. Fencing along the main road and around the compound is built in classic western post and pole style. All utilities are underground.
The elevation of the Pioneer Moon Ranch is 6,300 feet. The climate is semi-arid with an average humidity of only 30 percent and annual precipitation of 14 inches. Summers are warm with temperatures occasionally reaching into the low 90s and cooling to the mid-40s at night. Winters are generally cold, with an average maximum temperature from November through February of 35 degrees and an average minimum temperature during this period of 13 degrees.
Pioneer Moon Ranch is ideally situated to take full advantage of all the world-class, year-round outdoor activities and adventures that the Sun Valley area has to offer. Winter activities include downhill skiing on famous Bald Mountain (which can be seen from the ranch) and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling on the area's extensive winter trail network. During summer and fall, the area's diverse topography offers unparalleled hiking, backpacking, and mountain bike riding. Blaine County is also blessed with tens of thousands of acres of BLM and national forest land that provide unlimited opportunities for one to experience the best of Idaho's mountain backcountry.
Fly fishing is one of the most popular activities in the Sun Valley area, and Pioneer Moon Ranch provides an ideal base of operation for the dedicated angler. The one-and-a-half miles of the East Fork that run through the property offer the chance to catch smaller rainbow and brook trout without leaving home. Only ten minutes away, the Big Wood River, an outstanding rainbow fishery with catches up to 20 inches, offers anglers dozens of public access points. The 900-acre Silver Creek Preserve, one of the crown jewels of western fly fishing with its fabled mayfly hatches and big browns and rainbows, is 45 minutes south of the ranch. And the Big Lost River, frequented on a daily basis by top Sun Valley guides, is just a little over an hour away.
Because of it mature trees, meadow cover, and extensive riparian vegetation, birds of all kinds (from migratory songbirds to raptors to upland game birds) utilize the ranch. Blue grouse and coveys of chukar partridge are found on nearby hills and ridgelines around the ranch. Hungarian partridge and sage grouse live in sagebrush areas in the southern part of the county, and springs and spring fed creeks found in the lower Wood River Valley rarely freeze solid and are a haven for migrating and wintering ducks and geese.
The area also boasts strong populations of big game. The surrounding mountains and foothills teem with elk, mule deer and pronghorn antelope. Moose, black bear and mountain lion live nearby as well.
Annual property taxes are approximately $7,500.
The ranch holds two surface irrigation rights allowing for the diversion of 3.72 cubic feet per second from the East Fork to irrigate 150± acres during the irrigation season. The priority date for each water right is June 1, 1884.
A conservation easement held by the Wood River Land Trust and granted by the owners in 2005 covers 21.46+/- undeveloped acres along the western boundary of the ranch. The easement allows for continued agricultural and recreational uses. The balance of the property is eligible for, but not currently restricted by, such an easement.
Tucked away in the upper East Fork Valley, just 25 minutes from downtown Ketchum and the Bald Mountain ski lifts, this exceptional 500± mountain ranch offers panoramic views of the Pioneer Range and features a beautifully designed set of improvements built to the highest standard. The East Fork of the Big Wood meanders through the property's lush meadows for over a mile and a half, providing a haven for fish and wildlife. Bordered by federal lands and private ranch holdings, Pioneer Moon offers the ultimate in privacy and seclusion yet is only a short drive to the amenities of Sun Valley.

Idaho brokerage disclosure
The law requires all real estate licensees to perform certain basic duties when dealing with any real estate buyer or seller. You can expect any real estate licensee you deal with to provide the following "customer-level" services:
- To perform necessary and customary acts to assist you in the purchase or sale of real estate;
- To perform these acts in good faith and with reasonable care;
- To properly account for money or other property you place in his or her care; an
- To disclose "adverse material facts" which are, or should be, within that licensee's knowledge. These include facts that would significantly affect the desirability or value of the property to a reasonable person, and facts that would indicate to a reasonable person that one of the parties cannot, or will not, complete his obligations under the contract. (Note: Idaho law exempts "psychological" impacts from this disclosure requirement. See Section 55-2701, Idaho Code)
Unless or until you enter a written agreement with the brokerage for agency representation, you are considered a "Customer" of the brokerage, and the brokerage will not act as your agent. As a Customer, you should not expect the brokerage or its licensees to promote your best interest, or to keep your bargaining information confidential.
Whenever you speak to a licensee who represents a party on the other side of the transaction, (e.g., you are seeking to buy the property, and the licensee represents the seller), you should assume that any information you provide will be shared with the other party.
If offered by the real estate brokerage, you may enter a written agreement for "Agency Representation," requiring that the brokerage and its licensees act as an "Agent" on your behalf and promote your best interests as their "Client." Idaho law authorizes three types of Agency Representation.
Single Agency:
If you enter a written agreement for Agency Representation, you, as a Client, can expect the real estate brokerage to provide the following services, in addition to the basic duties and obligations required of all licensees:
- To perform the terms of your written agreement with skill and care;
- To promote your best interest, in good faith, honest and fair dealing;
- If you are the seller, this includes seeking a buyer to purchase your property at a price and under terms and conditions acceptable to you, and assisting in the negotiation thereof; and, upon your written request, asking for reasonable proof of a prospective buyer's financial ability to purchase your property;
- If you are the buyer, this includes seeking a property to purchase at an acceptable price, terms and conditions, and assisting in the negotiation thereof; and, when appropriate, advising you to obtain professional inspections of the property, or to seek appropriate tax, legal and other professional advice or counsel.
- To maintain the confidentiality of specific client information, including bargaining information, even after the representation has ended.
Limited Dual Agency:
At a time you enter an agreement for Agency Representation, you may be asked to give written consent allowing the brokerage to represent both you and the other party in a transaction. This "dual agency" situation can arise when, for example, the brokerage that represents you, the seller, also represents buyers who may be interested in purchasing your property. When this occurs, it is necessary that the brokerage's representation duties be "limited" because a buyer and seller have built-in conflicts of interest. Most significantly, the buyer typically wants the property at the lowest price, while the seller wants top dollar. As a "limited dual agent," the brokerage and its licensees cannot advocate on behalf of one client over the other, and cannot disclose confidential client information concerning price negotiations, terms or factors motivation the client/buyer to buy or the client/seller to sell. However, the brokerage must otherwise promote the best interests of both parties, perform the terms of the written representation agreement with skill and care, and perform all other duties required by law.
Buyers and sellers alike often find it desirable to consent to limited dual agency: buyers do not want the brokerage to be restricted in the search for suitable properties, and sellers do not want the brokerage to be restricted in the search for suitable buyers. Thus, when all parties agree in writing, a brokerage may legally represent both the buyer and the seller in the same transaction, but only as a "limited dual agent."
Limited Dual Agency with Assigned Agents:
In some situations, a brokerage that has obtained consent to represent both parties as a limited dual agent may assign individual licensees ("sales associates") to act soley on behalf of each party. (The brokerage must have an office policy that ensures client confidences are protected.) Where this is the case, the sales associate, or "assigned agent," is not limited by the brokerage's agency relationship with the other party, but instead has a duty to promote the best interest of the client that he or she is assigned to represent, including negotiating a price. The designated broker (the licensee who supervises the sales associates in the brokerage firm) remains a limited dual agent for both clients, and ensures the assigned agents fulfill their duties to their respective clients.
What to Look For in Any Agreement for Agency Representation:
Whatever type of representation you choose, your written Agency Representation Agreement should answer these questions:
- How will the brokerage be paid?
- When will this Agreement expire?
- What happens when a transaction is completed?
- Can I cancel the Agreement, and if so, how?
- Can I work with other brokerages during the time of the Agreement? And what happens if I sell or buy on my own?
- Am I willing to allow this brokerage to represent me and the other party in the same transaction?
Real Estate Licensees Are Not Inspectors:
Even if you have a written agreement for agency representation, you should not expect the brokerage or its licensees to conduct an independent inspection of the property, or to independently verify any statement or representation made by any party to the transaction or other reasonably reliable sources (such as a licensed appraiser, home inspector, or the county assessor's office). Real estate licensees are entitled to reasonably rely on the statements of their clients and other third-party sources. If the condition of the property is important to you, you should hire an appropriate professional, such as a home inspector, surveyor, or engineer.
Idaho Real Estate Brokerage Representation Act:
The specific duties owed by the real estate brokerage and its licensees to a customer or client are defined by the "Idaho Real Estate Brokerage Representation Act," located at Idaho Code Section 54-2052, et seq.
When you sign a real estate Purchase and Sale Agreement as a buyer or seller, you will be asked to confirm:
- that this disclosure was given to you and that you have read and understand its contents; and
- the agency relationship, if any, between you and the brokerage working with you.

Already, women make up half of the world's HIV infections, and adolescent girls are at particular risk in the hardest-hit parts of the world, UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Geeta Rao Gupta told the International AIDS Conference.
Some 4.8 million people ages 15 to 24 are living with HIV, and two-thirds are female. Sexual violence and conditions of poverty that frequently lead to girls leaving school and marrying in their teens — often to much older men — for economic security are chief risks in developing countries, she said.
"These adolescent girls and young women, our sisters and daughters, represent an unfinished agenda in the AIDS response," Rao Gupta said.
She echoed what has become a recurring theme of the meeting since Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton declared Monday that gender equity would be crucial to protecting women.
"Women need and deserve a voice in the decisions that affect their lives," Clinton said.
Their stories suggest too few do.
Hellen Amuge of Uganda showed scars on her arm and chest left when rebels in one of that country's wars attacked and raped her. When eventually she was diagnosed with HIV, Amuge said her husband abandoned her and their seven children.
"I'm taking my drugs, that's why you see me healthy like this," she said. But while pills are free through internationally financed AIDS programs, she described how people in her rural area must travel 50 miles to the nearest clinic for their monthly supply. "Getting money for transport is a problem."
In South Sudan, Evelyn Letio Unzi Boki said, "Men don't accept to go for testing," and their often younger, uneducated wives, dependent on them for economic survival, have no recourse.
"Women don't have voices," she said.
Even in the U.S., infections increasingly are concentrated in poor communities. Here, 1 in 4 people living with HIV is female and most are African-American or Hispanic.
The Affordable Care Act is expected to improve treatment for many uninsured Americans with HIV, but a number of states say they may not expand Medicaid services, one key part of that law. A report from the 30 for 30 Campaign, a women's coalition, found those are states with high numbers of HIV-infected women.
Globally, the women with HIV who get the most attention are pregnant, since one of the United Nations' chief goals is nearly eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV. The number of babies born with HIV has been dropping steadily for several years as more HIV-infected women receive AIDS drugs during pregnancy and while they're nursing — 57 per cent of them last year, according to the United Nations.
But UNICEF HIV adviser Dr. Chewe Luo called for a shift from focusing just on protecting the baby to treating the mother for her own good. Few countries automatically continue providing those lifesaving drugs for the mom after her baby is weaned, unless her own condition worsens or she gets pregnant again, Luo said.
"Orphaning will continue to increase if we don't actually provide treatment for women," she said.
New guidelines from the World Health Organization encourage countries to start treatment for life for all pregnant women, regardless of how healthy they may appear between pregnancies. Luo praised Malawi as the first low-income country to adopt that strategy and said Botswana, Rwanda, South Africa and Zambia are considering the same change.
UNICEF's Rao Gupta called for innovative solutions to help women and girls protect themselves. She pointed to an experiment in Kenya that pays poor families a few dollars a month to help support AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children. Researchers found teens in those households stayed in school longer rather than quitting to work and reported fewer risky sexual behaviours such as multiple partners and unprotected intercourse — maybe because they weren't turning to sex for money.
And Serra Sippel of the Center for Health and Gender Equity says too many HIV prevention efforts are missed opportunities for women. Consider: Projects around Africa are pushing male circumcision, which lowers men's risk of heterosexual infection — but they don't educate those men's wives and girlfriends about the importance of continuing condom use since the protection isn't perfect, Sippel said.
"Women are the blind spot in the AIDS conversation," she said.

The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at South Shore Hospital combines therapeutic exercise, education, and nutrition counseling to restore health and improve quality of life for patients with a variety of chronic lung conditions.
A physician's referral is needed to join the program. Certain medical tests are required, including an EKG, stress test, and pulmonary function test. If the necessary tests have already been performed, copies of the results may be provided by the patient. Test results should be from tests taken within the past six months.
Patients meet with our rehabilitation team to review their medical history and goals for the program. Together, they will develop a plan to help the patient reach his/her highest potential.
Our therapists work closely with the referring physician to accomplish each patient's individualized goals and/or restore/maintain each patient's functional mobility, based on the referring diagnosis.
The program meets twice a week for eight weeks. Each session consists of one hour of monitored exercise in a group setting (individualized to meet each patient's ability). There is an educational lecture once a week.
Pulmonary Rehab Maintenance is a program available to recent graduates of the Pulmonary Rehab Program, which allows participants to continue with their rehab program in a supervised, hospital-based setting.
Insurance coverage is verified by staff before patients join the program. Patients should contact their insurance provider to obtain information regarding the number of sessions covered and what percentage of each session is covered.
Brooks 4
The Pulmonary Rehab program recently earned national certification from the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). Certification verifies that our program meets the strict standards of the AACVPR. AACVPR certification provides the pulmonary patients with the added benefit that the services they are receiving at South Shore Hospital have been nationally recognized as "best practice" models. Certification with AACVPR is required every three years.
For further information, call us at 781-624-6842. We will be happy to answer your questions and tell you more about the program.
Introducing South Shore MyChart, the new and improved Patient Portal.
No matter what you're facing, receiving exceptional, unified care is non-negotiable. That's why we're bringing people, caregivers and excellence in medicine together. As One.

Busy as he has been with varied and far-flung projects, Millepied will be narrowing his focus to concentrate on L.A. Dance Project, a bold new venture that reflects his own interests and ideas. Having retired last year from New York City Ballet, he is approaching choreography with reinvigorated focus and envisions LADP as something quite different from the typical dance troupe.
The word "ballet" is purposely not a part of its name, and Millepied has assembled a core of collaborators to ensure that LADP presents work that incorporates and interacts with various art forms. "It is a dance company, but one that will be doing many different things," he says. "I didn't want to do this in the way that it's been done before, because it doesn't work. I also wanted to concentrate on things that were interesting to me -- finding and developing talent, nurturing choreographers. It's really about presenting works that I believe in. We're going to be commissioning projects from films to art installations to dance pieces. It's really about all the things that dance can be."
LADP's first performances are set for Sept. 22-23 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The ambitious opening program, commissioned by Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center, includes Merce Cunningham's notoriously dark and difficult 1964 "Winterbranch," William Forsythe's 1993 "Quintett," and a new Millepied work set to a commissioned score by Nico Muhly, with set design by painter Christopher Wool.
Muhly, to whose music Millepied has choreographed several times, is part of the LADP "think tank" -- friends and colleagues with whom Millepied discusses ideas and develops projects. Also on board are producer Charles Fabius, art consultant Matthieu Humery, and film producer Dimitri Chamblas. Millepied intends to generate projects "beyond just putting ballets on the stage, projects outside of theaters -- collaborations with museums."
Though Millepied now calls Los Angeles home, last week found him in New York, intently rehearsing his former NYCB colleagues in his latest work for the company, "Two Hearts," which has an original Muhly score and will premiere May 10. He hopes to continue to make time if major companies like NYCB or the Paris Opera Ballet invite him to choreograph, but his new ensemble of six carefully selected dancers -- he will also dance in the Forsythe work -- is where his attention is now focused.
"I thought it would be nice to have a group of dancers to work with over a longer time, in the same place. It all happened very quickly. We will be adding more repertory during that first year; I'm going to be developing young choreographers from within the company," Millepied says. "For the first time, I'll be able to develop new work on my own terms. It's small; it's going to have its specific way of dancing -- and I'm excited about that."

Welcome to baroquemusic.it, a digital collection of modern editions of music from the 17:th and 18:th century, dedicated to amateur and professional musicians. The scores are transcribed from original printed or manuscript sources, using LilyPond, an open source project, to generate urtext editions. Selection of authors and music favors unedited music and less known authors.
All editions are available under the CC License 4.0 International, BY NC ND.
A collaboration program with IMSLP has been started, where many scores have been uploaded from baroquemusic.it over time. The purpose of the program is to give mutual respect and visibility to the commitment of the parties in spreading non-copyright-protected music items.
Dear baroquemusic visitors,
after eleven years of transcription effort, the site collects today (May 16, 2017) over 720 scores with separate parts and about 30.000 pages of baroque music. About 100 scores per year are new transcriptions. The average of users per month is more than 2.000, with about 4.500 sessions per month.
The problem of funding the activities of the site: i. e. obtaining manuscripts and ancient printed editions not online available, web development, transcription of music and hosting the site, is becoming progressively relevant.
For this reason, I decided to put in place a simple six-month or 1-year subscription system, with the aim of collecting resources capable of supporting operations, maintenance and development of the site. Subscribers will have access to all scores, separate parts and midi files for the duration of subscription. To all subscribers I guarantee a strong effort to improve the selection of rare and unpublished music, the formal quality of editing and the frequency of new issues.
While the edited scores have been frequently reviewed after private and public performances, nonetheless the editor declines any responsibility regarding the accuracy of the published material. Ancient sources frequently include ambiguities and typos and it is not always easy finding an unquestionable interpretation. In addition, there may be transcription mistakes, even if the editor writes LilyPond code with scrupulous patience. The editor is grateful to those who will improve the collection notifying mistakes and erroneous interpretation for future revised editions. Appreciation or critical messages are also encouraged. The editor will publish scores and midi files submitted by the community under the condition that the musical sources are in the public domain and that the score is an urtext transcription with no rights reserved.

ROME (AP) — For someone not running for political office, Premier Mario Monti has an awfully detailed plan for how to fix Italy's financial woes and bring the country and the rest of Europe back to economic health. And by Monday, not only had centrist leaders who want him as premier endorsed it, but so did the head of the Catholic Church in Italy.
Monti issued a 25-page agenda to "Change Italy, Reform Europe" late Sunday after announcing he had ruled out campaigning for February elections but would consider leading the next government if politicians who share his focus on reform request it.
Monti outlined the steps Italy must take to finish the reforms launched by his 13-month-long technical government to reign in Italy's public debt, spur economic growth and bring Europe's No. 3 economy out of recession.
"In a word, he will be the non-candidate candidate," commentator Massimo Franco wrote in leading daily Corriere della Sera on Monday.
Some of Monti's priorities include attracting greater foreign investment, investing in research, capitalizing on Italy's cultural treasures and fighting tax evasion and corruption. He called for incentives to hire women and young workers to help reduce the 36.5 percent youth unemployment rate. He said Italy's public administration — tarnished by recent embezzlement scandals — needed to be more efficient and transparent.
In an open-letter to Italians introducing the agenda, Monti said he wanted to contribute some ideas for Italy's future to help orient Italy's political leaders as they embark in what is expected to be a bitter two-month campaign before Feb. 24-25 elections.
"To those forces who show a convinced and credible adhesion, I would give my appreciation, encouragement, and if asked, my guidance," Monti wrote.
Italy's centrist leaders, who had sought Monti as their candidate for premier, discussed the document Monday morning and enthusiastically endorsed it, according to the ANSA news agency, citing sources within the movement.
And Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the head of the Italian bishops' conference, also gave it a thumbs-up, praising Monti's "innovative" proposals. Support from the church is considered vitally important for a government in largely Roman Catholic Italy, and the Vatican has made clear its admiration for Monti, a practicing Catholic.
"Mario Monti has presented a path, a way forward that is being offered to the serious and honest reflection of all," Bagnasco told state-run RAI radio.
Monti, a respected economist, was tapped last year to head a technical government after Silvio Berlusconi was forced to resign as premier amid market turmoil over his inability to pass necessary reforms to save Italy from Europe's debt crisis.
Berlusconi's People of Freedom party, Parliament's largest, had supported Monti's reforms, which included painful tax hikes and an increase in the retirement age. But Berlusconi yanked his support earlier this month, prompting Monti to resign and force elections about two months early.
Monti remains premier of a caretaker government. In an end-of-the-year press conference Sunday, he made clear his distaste for Berlusconi's antics, refusing the scandal-tainted ex-premier's offer to run on a center-right ticket.

Asian qualifying for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Tahiti 2013 provided action and goals aplenty, typical of the round-ball game on sand. The five-day beach football jamboree on the specially constructed venue at Katara Beach in Doha, Qatar, witnessed both a stream of goals and a host of tight games, but at the conclusion it was three familiar names that stamped their tickets to the world stage.
Iran, Japan and United Arab Emirates will represent AFC on Polynesia's idyllic sands next September, having become familiar faces among the globe's elite. The trio have collectively featured 13 times across the six editions of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup. While Asia's representatives are yet to taste success at the tournament, continued growth combined with a high-quality conclusion to the tournament in Doha, suggests the continent's big fish could be ready to make a splash.
New faces and keen contests
Following the initial draw for the tournament Afghanistan, Philippines and Thailand joined the list of hopefuls making for a 16-team tournament. The significant jump from the 11 nations which featured at the last qualifiers two years ago, setting the scene nicely as the combatants prepared to take to the 3,000 capacity state-of the-art facility on the shoreline in the Qatari capital.
Any uncertainty about the quantity of action to be offered up to the spectators was hastily put to rest on the opening day as 84 goals were scored across the eight matches. Unfortunately for Philippines, continental big guns Iran were in relentless mood and inflicted a record-breaking 20-0 scoreline on the outclassed south-east Asians. There was, however, good news for one of the late additions as Afghanistan, in their first-ever qualifier, defeated Qatar 7-3. Australia, meanwhile, claimed what proved to be a pivotal result in their march to the semi-finals with a 6-4 defeat of Oman, veterans of Ravenna 2011, with former A-League player Panny Nikas bagging four goals.
One of the most surprising challenges came from Lebanon who pushed Japan all the way before the World Cup veterans edged home in an epic contest by the odd goal in 11. Lebanon captain Haisam Fattal then bagged an impressive treble as the Cedars enjoyed a 5-3 win over 2009 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup finalists Bahrain. Despite Iran's pedigree on the sand, the Persians were forced to come from two goals down to secure their last four berth with a 4-2 win over a valiant China PR.
And then there were four…
After three days of intense group action, it came down to four teams vying for three tickets to Tahiti 2013 amid what proved to be some raucous support from the stands. And the final two days of action provided some classic action with three matches decided by a single goal, with the final needing penalties to break a high-scoring deadlock in what proved a fitting denouement to the tournament.
Iran became the first side to earn a ticket to Tahiti 2013 after edging UAE 3-2 in an exciting, hard-fought semi-final, in a rematch of 2011's third place play-off in Muscat. The second semi-final smouldered before bursting into life in the final period with three quickfire goals but when the smoke settled Japan were 2-1 victors and on their way to an unprecedented seventh FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, although that is a record that Brazil and Argentina have the chance to equal next month.
The most drama, however, was left to the final day. United Arab Emirates saw off Australia 3-2 with the help of a goal after just three seconds, while at the other end of the match the Aussies narrowly failed to equalise with the ball deemed to have hit the net momentarily after the final whistle.
The final saw Iran stage a remarkable comeback from 6-3 to draw level, with extra time unable to end the impasse. It then took ten penalties to separate the sides as Iran ended the reign of Japan who had won the past two Asian crowns. Moslem Mesigar, whose late equaliser ensured extra time in the final, finished top goalscorer with 11 goals. Japan's Osmar Moreira was named most valuable player, while Australia's Simon Jaeger was deemed to be the tournament's best goalkeeper.

2017 Ford Mustang recalled to fix door handles
Ford Motor Company issued a recall of nearly 5,800 Ford Mustang vehicles from the 2017 model year. https://twitter.com/automatters/status/841708757532860416
The problems stem from an improperly manufactured spring, located inside one door handle in particular. Ford explains:
"In the affected vehicles, the left-hand interior door handle may have been built with a misoriented return spring, which could increase the potential for the return spring to become unseated. If the interior door handle return spring is unseated, the inertial loads experienced by the interior door handle may cause the door to unlatch during a side impact, increasing the risk of injury in a crash."
Though the issue is a serious one, Ford says that it knows of no accidents or injuries linked to the problem.
The recall affects 2017 Mustang vehicles built at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant between January 13, 2017, and January 31, 2017. Ford says that there are 5,756 of those vehicles registered in North America: 5,470 in the U.S., 266 in Canada, and 20 in Mexico
Ford will mail recall notices to owners of the affected vehicles, asking them to schedule repairs through their local dealerships. Dealers will inspect the return spring on the left-hand interior door handle and service it as required. The fix will be carried out at no cost to owners.
If you own one of these vehicles and have further questions, you're encouraged to call Ford Customer Service at (800) 392-3673 and ask about recall #17C04.

|Syngenta has converted its soybean crop page on FarmAssist.com into a Virtual Classroom that will feature a variety of agronomic and product solutions information combined with the extensive crop knowledge held by Syngenta to help growers maximize soybean production.
"The demand for soybean continues to rise while the agronomic challenges expand," said Wendell Calhoun, communications lead, Syngenta. "And U.S. soybean production requires more intensive crop management in order to maximize yield to meet this demand. As a leader in the soybean industry, Syngenta is proud to offer a resource focused entirely on providing solutions to the agronomic challenges faced by soybean growers and retailers so they can produce a successful yield."
The Virtual Classroom, located at http://Soybeans.FarmAssist.com, is an all-encompassing source for Syngenta soybean information. It includes commodities information, links to product information, multimedia and links to other valuable resources found on FarmAssist.com, such as the Pest Solutions Resource. A main feature of the Virtual Classroom is the regularly updated Soybean Insider blog, which discusses the most relevant and timely topics. The weekly blog, along with multimedia, can be delivered to your email weekly upon registration.
To receive the Soybean Insider in your inbox, register at www.FarmAssist.com/SoyInsider. Throughout the month of April, Syngenta will award a digital picture frame to the first new registrant of each day.
To further correspond with the enhanced soybean resources, new mobile-friendly product pages have also been launched for all Syngenta Crop Protection products. "No need to dig through pages of websites, because we are putting the resources at your fingertips," said Calhoun.

Surname Saturday ~ Bohemian Rhapsody
8 comments:
Congrats on your first step, Deb! There's nothing more exhilarating than finding the roots of a line and knowing they'll be lots of off-shoots to trace. And, that solid research and persistence pays great dividends.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! Finally, those hours of eyes-crossed reading census records paid off in a big way.
Congratulations on your finds! Most of my Czech great-grandfather's siblings emigrated to Baltimore so I have found quite a few people down that way - mostly after I found a letter from one brother to my grandmother, who emigrated to NY much later. The letter was on stationery for the family blacksmith and wagon company and clued me in that they had changed their surname from Simanek to Shimanek once over here.ReplyDelete
The Bohemian community down there looks like it was especially vibrant - even more so than the upper west side of NYC where my closer family lived. The newspapers on Genealogybank and others have provided quite a bit of useful info on business, association and family events.
Also, I was able to identify more family names and even get my 2x-great grandparents' names via a profile of my 2x-great uncle in this book on archive.org:
I don't believe even my Czech cousin back in Prague who has done research locally knew some of that info!
Might be worth a look for you...
If you haven't read it already, the Czech Genealogy for Beginners blog has terrific hints - I've used her table on writing styles to help when searching over at Actapublica. Even knowing quite a bit of info regarding my Czech family towns, etc, it can still be difficult reading the actual records. Another distant cousin in the Czech Republic has helped and even she complains about how hard it is to decipher! ;)
Thank you for stopping by and reading the post. Also, the resources you suggested are wonderful. Will be using them as I try and decipher this heritage. Must admit to being a little jealous your having cousins to help!
Love your blog and will be following along on your adventures.
How wonderful, Deb! Congratulations on breaking through that tough census search. I'm sure you'll have many more exciting discoveries ahead.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! It has been a wonderful journey with incredible discovery. Love this thing called "genealogy"!
This all sounds very exciting! I remember some of your earlier posts, especially about the Czechoslovakia Genealogy Research Group on Facebook. What a big difference in spellings between Jerousek and Gerushek! Not even a three-letter sequence in common! No wonder it took forever to locate them in the census, and congratulations that you achieved this feat at all.ReplyDelete
It will be such a fascinating adventure to learn about Bohemian culture, especially with others who are on similar quests!Replies
Thanks for stopping by to read the post. There were a few hair pulling episodes during this adventure! I am looking forward to learning more about this heritage. More to come about the Facebook group!

Reviewed by Stephanie B. (age 8)
High School Musical, ''Wildcat Spirit'' was the best book I ever read! I liked this book because the author described the schools Spirit Week well. Gabriella and Ryan were making newspaper hats and towel capes. This part was amazing to picture in my mind with no pictures. Also, I enjoyed reading about Sharpay's bright big apple red nails with little white wildcat logos. I also enjoyed this book because it was fun to read about Sharpay's silly behavior. The two parts she acted funny the most was when she acted silly in was when she wore her super silly hat for Hat Day and when she made Ryan dress like a giant teddy bear for Pajama Day. The last reason why I like this book is because I liked how Troy and Gabriella worked out their problems. They worked out their problems by talking to each other at the Dance and at the pep rally. So as you can see High School Musical, ''Wildcat Spirit'' is a must read book because it described the schools spirit week well, Sharpay's silly behavior, and how Troy and Gabriella worked out their problems nicely. Read, High School Musical, ''Wildcat Spirit''!
I would recommend this book to people who like High School Musical and to people who have been scared to ask another person something. All the characters from High School Musical are getting ready for the dance. Gabriella is so scared, and she doesn't know when to ask Troy out. You've got to read this book! You won't want to put it down!
