Parents of U.S. students often complain about things like too many standardized tests or unhealthful school lunches. Kenya wishes it had such problems.
Kenya dropped or greatly reduced fees at public schools nearly a decade ago in an effort to make education available to all children. On one level, it's been a success — school attendance has soared. Yet this has also exacerbated chronic problems that include shortages of qualified teachers, books, desks and just about every other basic need.
Kenya is struggling to have universal primary education by 2015, but its experience highlights the frustrations of a poor country trying to meet such goals.
When visitors arrive at a Kenyan primary school it's something of an event. At Amboni Primary School, north of Nairobi and just outside the boundaries of the spectacular Aberdare National Park and game reserve, children stream out of their classrooms and break into a song: "Everybody today is happy to see you ..."
A decade or more ago, many of these kids might not have been in school. They would have been hauling water, tending sheep or working in farm fields. Still, Kenya's nine-year-old experiment with free education is not working out as people had hoped.
Getting Rid Of Fees
In 2003, Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki eliminated expensive school fees for primary schools and lowered them for secondary schools. The move honored a political promise and followed a trend of free public schools in the neighboring states of Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda and Malawi.
"I come from a very poor family such that I was always going home [to collect] school fees," says Agnes Munuhe, a 50-year-old teachers' adviser, the 11th of 13 children of a subsistence farmer and his three wives in central Kenya.
Because her parents could not always afford the fees, Munuhe didn't learn to read and write until she was 16 and did not finish high school until she was 25.
When Kenya dropped school fees the result was dramatic. Public school enrollment went from 6.1 million to 7.4 million in just two years, from 2002 to 2004, and has continued climbing. The increase has included many girls whose families had held them back in this conservative society.
But Kenya's tottering school system could not handle the flood of new students, and the situation has not improved as the initial crush of primary school students works its way through the high schools.
A Teacher Shortage
"Kenya needs 80,000 additional teachers. It's that serious," says Munuhe, standing outside a classroom at the Kabiru-ini Girls Boarding School in central Kenya.
Girls in green sweaters and bobby socks hurry across the ramshackle campus past bougainvillea bushes and drooping bottle-brush trees. Inside the tin-roof classrooms, it's common for five girls to share one textbook.
"The government had hoped for a ratio of two students to one book, but this is not doable," Munuhe says ruefully. "The books are not there."
And steep school fees are coming back. Two weeks ago, the Kabiru-ini principal had to send home 100 girls — nearly a third of the school — to ask their parents for money for things like teacher salaries, examinations, uniforms and new buildings.
A study published by Britain's Sussex University in 2007 found that Kenya's free schools were "a matter of political expediency ... not adequately planned and resourced," and as a result, there have actually been more dropouts and a falling quality of education.
Conversely, the number of private schools has increased tenfold as parents look for alternatives to overcrowded classrooms.
The situation is similar in neighboring Tanzania, which did away with school fees a year earlier in 2002. The student population also skyrocketed, leading to packed classrooms, book shortages, overused toilets, a teacher scarcity and an increase in paddling students to keep order.
A Search For Donors
With the Kenya Education Ministry stretched thin, schools are looking everywhere for foreign donors.
In that regard, Mahiga Hope High School in central Kenya scored big. The Nobelity Foundation, a nonprofit based in Austin, Texas, stepped in to build a handsome two-story, stone classroom; a covered basketball court; a water system; computer and science labs; and a library of donated books, from To Kill A Mockingbird to Harry Potter.
"Go to other schools; they literally have nothing," says principal Jane Wainaina. "The classrooms are wooden; the floors are mud. Mahiga Hope High School has been extremely lucky to have the Nobelity Project with us."
But even with help from abroad, the Mahiga school struggles.
The government, in theory, contributes $120 per student per year, but the subsidies arrive irregularly and are still not enough. Wainaina, too, sends three-quarters of her students home to collect money from their parents, most of whom are poor farmers. Some of the students drop out and never return.
"It is not free as such," she says, "They use the word free, but it's not free."
Even with all the problems, school administrators say more Kenyan children go to school than they did in the past.
At an impromptu lecture by a visiting journalist at Mahiga High's Journalism Club, two dozen bright-eyed students listen intently to a talk about the importance of independent reporting.
"I want to be a journalist," one student says shyly. "I want to help Kenya."

Parents in the U.S. complain about bad public schools, top-heavy bureaucracies and too many standardized tests. Those problems would be a luxury in Kenya. Kenya is one of four East African countries struggling to meet a U.N. Millennium Development Goal. It calls for universal primary education by 2015. NPR's John Burnett has this story on the frustrations of a poor country trying to educate all of its young people.
JOHN BURNETT, BYLINE: Under Kenya's faltering experiment with free education, all young people are supposed to be here at school, in class instead of home hauling water or tending sheep.
UNIDENTIFIED GROUP #1: (Singing) We are happy. We are happy together. We are happy. We are happy together.
BURNETT: Consider the way it was before. Agnes Munuhe is a 50-year-old teachers' adviser, the 11th of 13 children of a subsistence farmer and his three wives in central Kenya.
AGNES MUNUHE: I come from a very poor family, a very poor family, such that I was always going home for school fees.
BURNETT: Because her parents could not always afford those school fees, Agnes didn't learn to read and write until she was 16 years old, and she finally finished high school at 25. Then in 2003, Kenya President Mwai Kibaki - honoring a political promise and following a trend sweeping East Africa - eliminated fees for primary schools and lowered them for secondary schools. The result was dramatic. More than a million kids streamed into the crumbling classrooms, including many girls whose families had held them back in this conservative society. These bright-eyed girls in green sweaters and bobby socks recite their lessons at Kabiru-ini Girls Boarding School in Central Province.
UNIDENTIFIED GROUP #2: (Foreign language spoken)
BURNETT: But Kenya's tottering school system could not handle the flood of new students when the doors were opened to everyone nine years ago, and the situation has not improved today. So Kenya needs 80,000...
MUNUHE: Thousand.
BURNETT: ...additional teachers.
MUNUHE: Teachers, yeah.
MUNUHE: It's that serious.
BURNETT: What this means is you can find one teacher teaching 60 students. In some classes, five students share one textbook. And as for education being free, primary schools regularly ask parents for fees, and last Monday, the Kabiru-ini School had to send home 100 girls to ask their parents for money for things like teacher salaries, exams, uniforms and new buildings. Margaret Kamau(ph) is the deputy principal.
MARGARET KAMAU: The records are almost half of the school will be out to collect money. It's a challenge.
BURNETT: A study published by Sussex University in 2007 found that Kenya's free schools were a matter of political expediency. They were not well-planned or funded, and as a result, there have actually been more dropouts and a falling quality of education.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Number 10.
UNIDENTIFIED GROUP #3: Number 10.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Number 11.
UNIDENTIFIED GROUP #3: Number 11.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Number 12.
UNIDENTIFIED GROUP #3: Number 12.
BURNETT: Preschool students learn their numbers at Mahiga Hope High School in Nyere County. Principal Jane Wainaina says the government contributes, in theory, $120 per student, but the subsidies arrive irregularly, and they're still not enough. She, too, must send some students home to collect money from their parents. Sadly, some never return to school.
JANE WAINAINA: It is not free as such. The government subsidize, but they use the word free, but it is not free.
BURNETT: Mahiga Hope is more fortunate than most rural Kenya high schools. It has a two-story stone classroom building, a basketball court, computer and science labs and a library.
WAINAINA: Go to other schools, they literally have nothing. The classrooms are wooden. The floors are not done. It's just mud all over. So let me say Mahiga Hope High School, we have been extremely lucky to have the Nobelity Project with us.
BURNETT: The Nobelity Project is a nonprofit based in Austin, Texas, that builds classrooms, labs and water systems for schools in the developing world. Mahiga Hope High School is an example of how the Kenya school system - as it works toward universal free education by 2015 - depends on private donors.
But even with all these problems, school administrators, like principal Wainaina, would not turn the clock back. They worry whether Kenya's next president - to be elected in 2013 - will make a commitment to continue the struggle for a truly free education for all. John Burnett, NPR News, Nairobi.

MILWAUKEE -- Shannon Brown said his goal is to win the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year. To be a serious candidate, he'll need to keep repeating performances like this one.
Brown scored 16 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 31 points, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 118-107 on Tuesday night to snap a two-game losing streak.
"I'm going to keep working and we're going to keep winning," Brown said. "It's more about doing what I've got to do to help my team win."
Los Angeles had started 8-0 before the consecutive losses, but Brown and Bryant sparked the Lakers on both ends of the floor against what had been the stingiest defense in the NBA.
"He's even a better shooter than he was last year," Bryant said. "You see him now making plays off the dribble, making plays for others, passing off the dribble. He continues to get better. This is just the beginning for him."
Bryant scored 13 points in the third quarter, including seven straight in a crucial stretch. Brown didn't skip a beat in the fourth, hitting four 3-pointers that stifled the Bucks' rally.
"Tried to open it up, that's my job coming off the bench, to get momentum if we're lacking or do whatever it takes," Brown said. "Today, it was hitting shots and playing defense."
Brandon Jennings scored 31 points, Andrew Bogut had 12 points and 18 rebounds, and Drew Gooden added 22 points and 13 boards for Milwaukee (5-6), which had its three-game winning streak end.
Brown's reverse layup gave Los Angeles a 99-88 lead with just over 8 minutes to play. Then the reserve guard added a jumper and a 3-pointer moments later to make it 104-90.
After Milwaukee went on a 7-0 run, Brown hit another 3 that pushed the lead back out to 107-97, and Milwaukee never got within two possessions of tying.
Gooden, Brown's former teammate in Cleveland and Chicago, just shook his head when reciting Brown's stat line.
"Shannon was so efficient out there for them. Seven of nine from the field, 21 points, 21 minutes, zero turnovers coming off the bench; that's an efficient game coming off the bench," Gooden said.
Bryant, who improved to 22-4 against Milwaukee, hurt the Bucks in the third quarter, scoring seven straight to break open a tight game in the first of three-game Midwest swing for Los Angeles that includes stops in Detroit and Minnesota.
After Bryant hit two free throws, he stripped John Salmons on the ensuing possession and got the ball back from Derek Fisher on the fast break. Bryant hit an easy layup as Jennings fouled him and converted the three-point play.
Bryant then drew another foul, this time on Salmons, and hit both of the free throws to make it 82-75.
Milwaukee had held some potent offenses to pitiful performances during its three-game winning streak. But there wouldn't be a repeat performance against the Lakers, who got to the rim and the foul line seemingly as much as they wanted. Pau Gasol had 18 points and 10 rebounds, Lamar Odom added 13 points and Fisher had 10.
Los Angeles showed it could play a little defense that was missing, too, in losses to Phoenix and Denver. Milwaukee committed four turnovers in the stretch because of the Lakers' pressure, even as the pace clearly favored Los Angeles.
"We talked about it at halftime, doing a better job defensively, we were really poor in the first half, just giving layup after layup," Bryant said. "It was good. It was not what we're used to doing, but it's a step in that direction."
The Lakers came in as the highest-scoring team in the NBA, averaging 112.5 points, and the Bucks were allowing an NBA-low 89.4. Steve Blake's 3-pointer busted the 90-point mark in the closing seconds of the third quarter and gave the Lakers their biggest lead, 90-81, heading into the fourth.
"They're the No. 1 offensive team in the league. We're the No. 1 defensively," Bogut said. "They won that battle, but I think we just have to do a better job defensively. We gave them a lot of easy baskets."
Notes: Lakers F Ron Artest only played 17 1/2 minutes and asked to come out of the game, but insisted nothing was wrong afterward. Coach Phil Jackson said Artest would play on Wednesday night against Detroit. ... Bogut went 2 of 10 from the free throw line. ... Lakers C Theo Ratliff had arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to remove torn cartilage in his left knee. Ratliff is expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks. Los Angeles is also without C Andrew Bynum, who hasn't returned from offseason knee surgery. The Lakers hope he'll return to practice next week. Jackson said that they may need to get another big man to bolster their front court.

Ted Long, 75 - March 14, 2007
Ted Long, 75, lifelong resident of North Platte, died Tuesday, March 6, 2007, at his home.
Christian wake services were held on Sunday, March 11, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church. Mass of Christian Burial was held on Monday at St. Patrick's Catholic Church with the Rev. James Golka as celebrant. Burial followed at Fort McPherson National Cemetery near Maxwell with graveside military honors.
Long was born on the family homestead northeast of North Platte on Feb. 5, 1932, to Charles and Margaret L. Horne Long. He attended grade school at the Long School and graduated from North Platte High School in 1950.
He entered the United States Army, serving in Korea. After his honorable discharge in 1953, he worked as a surveyor for the soil conservation unit.
On July 30, 1955, he married Margaret Hoatson at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sutherland.
He had worked as the art director for KNOP TV for 10 years before becoming a full-time artist and sculptor.
Long's work includes a series of impressions depicting a unique time and place, the American frontier. He dedicated his life's work to portraying the legacy of the Old West from his studio in North Platte.
When not creating, he spent much of his time researching sites and artifacts. Long's mediums were oil and bronze, through which he created visions of the past with a romantic flair and a stark touch of realism. His attention to detail and accuracy set his work in a class by itself, according to family members.
Bronzes of Chief Standing Bear, residing at the Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln, and Olympian Frank Shorter on the campus of the University of Colorado in Boulder, are among Long's recent life-size sculptural projects.
Since 2002, when not at his easel, Long had been working on a series of seven larger-than-life bronzes for the 20th Century Nebraska Veterans Memorial. In 2004, his painting, "Winter in the Elk Horns" was selected for The ART in Embassies Program. This painting is now in the Embassy in Mongolia.
Long's work has been published in The Haub Family Collection of Western Art, Western Painting Today, American Artist of Renown, and many other art publications and internet sites. His paintings and sculptures are displayed in galleries, museums and private collections throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.
In 1979, he won the Old West Trails Foundation—William F. Cody Art Award, and in 1984 and 1991, won the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum Permanent Collection Award. His work is in the Nebraska Museum of Art and Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, WY.
He was a charter member of the Western Artist of America and was instrumental in founding the Nebraskaland Days Art Show and the Old West Museum Art Show at Cheyenne Frontier Days. He was inducted into the North Platte High Distinguished Alumni and was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus Council No. 211.
Long was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Margaret.
Survivors include: his wife, Margaret of North Platte; daughters—Michaelene Long and Catherine (Shane Baker) Long, all of North Platte; sons—Thomas (Connie) Long of Gothenburg and Patrick (Kathy) Long of Elko, NV; a brother, Jim (Florence) Long of Buffalo, WY; two grandchildren—Trevor and Blair Golter; three great-grandchildren—Austin, Trenton and Aspen Golter.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established to the 20th Century Veteran's Memorial. Condolences may be shared online at: www.adamsswanson.com.

AP survey: US budget impasse holding back economy
AP survey: US budget impasse holding back economy
Feb. 26, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — The latest Associated Press Economy Survey suggests the biggest drag on the economy is the continued budget impasse in Washington, not the slow pace of consumer spending.
The consensus has emerged just as the political standoff could lead to automatic spending cuts later this week.
Twenty-three of the 37 economists who responded to the survey last week say the paralysis in Washington is a significant factor in slowing the economy. The next-biggest factors they cite, in order: too little job growth, excessive government regulation and taxes, stagnant wages and cautious bank lending. Only eight say they worry about consumers saving more and spending less.
The budget impasse that will set off $85 billion in spending cuts starting Friday will shave an estimated half-percentage point from economic growth this year.

Oprah Winfrey: I'm sorry Switzerland racism incident got blown up
Story blew up after Winfrey cited her treatment in the store as an example of racism
Laura Smith-Spark | 8/14/2013, 12:17 p.m.
Oprah Winfrey says she's sorry for the media storm that erupted after she recounted that she was the victim of racism in a posh Swiss boutique.
Winfrey's revelation last week on Entertainment Tonight led to the upscale store being identified as Trois Pommes in Zurich and its staff was immediately caught up in a frenzy of media interest.
The manager of the boutique, Trudie Goetz, subsequently told CNN the entire incident was a "200 percent misunderstanding" and had nothing to do with racism.
Speaking at the Los Angeles premiere of Lee Daniels' "The Butler," Monday, Winfrey said the situation had been blown out of proportion.
"I think that incident in Switzerland was just an incident in Switzerland. I'm really sorry that it got blown up," she said. "I purposely did not mention the name of the store. I'm sorry that I said it was Switzerland.
"I was just referencing it as an example of being in a place where people don't expect that you would be able to be there."
'No apology needed'
On Entertainment Tonight, Winfrey recounted how she had asked to see a $38,000 handbag, but the shop assistant refused to show it to her because it was "too expensive."
Winfrey explained Monday that for her, racism is not usually overt.
"Nobody is going to come and call me the N-word to my face, unless they are a thug on Twitter or Facebook," she said.
"It shows up for me differently, it shows up (when) I'm in a store and the person doesn't obviously know that I carry the 'black card' and so they make an assessment based upon the way I look and who I am." It appears Winfrey is referring to the exclusive American Express Centurion card, which is issued by invitation only to an exclusive group of the rich and famous.
Winfrey said was dressed in a Donna Karan skirt and top but was not wearing obvious symbols of wealth such as diamond jewelry or designer shoes.
"You should be able to go into a store looking like whatever you look like and say 'I would like to see this' -- and that didn't happen," she said.
But while she stood by it as an example, Winfrey cautioned against reading too much into the specific incident.
And she rejected any idea that Switzerland should be asked to apologize to her.
"It's not an indictment against the country or even that store," she said. "It was just, you know, one person who didn't want to offer me the opportunity to see the bag. So no apology necessary from the country, from Switzerland!"
In her latest film, Winfrey plays the wife of the main character -- portrayed by Forest Whitaker -- who serves as a butler in the White House.
Winfrey's claim 'absurd,' clerk says
Meanwhile, the store clerk concerned told Swiss daily newspaper Blick, in an interview printed Sunday, that she felt "terrible" and had not been able to sleep for days.
The woman, who gave her name as Adriana N. because she said she didn't want to be hassled on the street, said, "I feel as if I'm in the middle of a whirlwind. Totally powerless, as if everything's been taken from me. It's a horror, what's happened."
Adriana, from Italy, said she had asked her manager if she should resign, but that Goetz had stood by her.
Asked to give her version of the incident, Adriana said Winfrey had come into the store and was looking at bags when her eye was caught by a $38,000 crocodile skin number by Tom Ford.
She told the newspaper, "I explained that this was exactly the same bag as the one I had in my hand. Only much more expensive. I would happily show her other bags, I said."
Adriana said Winfrey's claim that she told the media mogul the bag was too expensive for her was absolutely not true.
"That's absurd. I would never say such a thing to a customer. Absolutely not. Good manners and politeness are everything in this shop," she said.
The store assistant added that she hadn't recognized Winfrey but that it would not have made a difference in any case. "We make a huge effort to treat everyone with the same respect and in the same way," she said.
CNN's Mark Thompson contributed to this report.

Penguin Plunge raises $600,000 over weekendBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
February 02. 2014 9:23PM
HAMPTON BEACH — Of the more than 600 participants in Sunday's 15th annual Penguin Plunge to benefit Special Olympics New Hampshire, Olympian Jason Kimball of Manchester might have been the most grateful.
As recently as last week, Kimball was not sure he would be able to participate in his fifth plunge because he was having difficulty raising the $350 minimum.
But once word got out about his challenge, donations started coming in. On Sunday, Kimball got his chance to jump into the frigid waters of the Atlantic. At the event's after-party in the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom, Kimball said he was grateful to all of the people who came forward to help him, and was honored to participate.
"It brings a smile to my face," Kimball said.
Kimball is a Special Olympian and participates in basketball, golf, bowling and track and field events.
Kimball's basketball coach, John Connors, said he and other coaches were not aware of Kimball's challenge raising money this year until they read about in the Union Leader. They're glad people pitched in to help Kimball.
"I think it is awesome that there are a large number of people out there that care about Special Olympics," Connors said.
More than $600,000 was raised over the weekend for Special Olympics New Hampshire and individual Special Olympics teams in communities throughout the state through both Sunday's Penguin Plunge and Saturday's 6th annual High School Plunge, which by itself raised more than $142,000.
Portsmouth Mayor Robert Lister was one of about a dozen participants recognized by SONH this year for participating in all 15 Penguin Plunge events.
Lister got involved with Special Olympics 38 years ago when he served as a teacher in the Portsmouth School District.
"I brought Special Olympics into my classroom and have been with Special Olympics ever since," Lister said.
He said when the group first decided to try the Penguin Plunge fundraiser, about 38 people took the plunge. They got in and got out of the water before police came to tell them to do so.
Now, lifeguards and safety officials volunteer their time to ensure the safety of hundreds of participants, no matter the weather.
This year, the air temperature exceeded water temperature by about 10 degrees — 47 degrees compared to 38 degrees.
Lister said the event was just as exciting the 15th time as it was the first.
The Frozen Sections team of Keene raised about $29,000 and had about 34 plungers in Sunday's event.
Downey Page of Keene has been with the team for seven years.
"It's an incredible, incredible organization, great charity, great cause, great kids. We have a bunch of Olympians on our team and they're awesome," Page said.
"Flock leader" Dan Rath has been participating for 13 years after his wife saw a commercial for the event and realized what a perfect match it was for him.
"My whole life whenever I am near the ocean, I go in," Rath said. "And this is a really positive day for everybody."
The Penguin Plunge is the single largest fundraiser for SONH and has brought in more than $5.6 million in 15 years.
SONH was founded in 1970 with the first state summer games at Phillips Exeter Academy. The organization now provides year-round training and competition in 14 sports to more than 5,608 participants with intellectual and developmental disabilities across the state.

This innovative model provided quite outstanding performance with an unusually high degree of user convenience. This was achieved by combining many of the tried and tested Reference Series features with a new concept in active low-level equalisation, KUBE (KEF Universal Bass Equaliser). The result was a unique combination bass extension down to a genuine 20Hz, and good sensitivity, from a surprisingly compact system which is sonically flexible enough to be tailored to its specific surroundings.
Model 107 combined the separate mid/treble enclosure from the 105/2 with the coupled cavity bass loading technique developed for the 104/2 and established itself as one of the world's finest loudspeakers. The midrange driver was a new polypropylene-coned B110 allowing higher sensitivity with improved strength and durability. As with the 102 and 103/3 the KUBE was an integral part of this system and essential in obtaining its specified performance.

- First Fleebnorks are spotted here
- Concept of Stat Cards is introcduced into game
- Fryslayer posts some very nice Castle army banners on ClassicCastle
- Fryslayer gives us the first known use of computer-altered pictures in a Brikwars battle report; to give his reports a "comic-book" style, and to show where people had died and to add dramatic effect. This is a tradition which would be carried on by some of Brikwars more skilled battle reporters. Namely Rayhawk and Natalya.
Reports From The Field
|Played by
|Fryslayer's First
|Steven Spielberg, and his assorted forces of the modern world, as well as several medival armies, come together in a castleworld town to see who will win.
|The siege
|After winning the first battle, Steven Spielberg acquired a large part of the castle homeland, taking his funds from the infamous pirate "deadeye mad Beard" and the traitor Falcon noble. Meanwhile, lord Black Falcon, righteous owner of the castle land returns to reclaim his kingdom, along with Lord Guy, a powerful mercenary warrior.
|The Beach Town
|The defeat of pirate lord "Dead Eye Mad Beard" is ill received by his brother "Mad Beard Dead Eye", who seeks revenge by launching an assault on a coastal castleland town.
|Attack of the Spiders
|A Princess from an ancient land came to visit; but the evil Wella the Witch heard of it and decided to launch an attack to capture the princess; conjuring the aide of the evil Bat lord. Can the combined forces of the Black Falcons and the Black Knights hold off the tide of Darkness?
|From the North they Come
|The Vikings are coming! From North they Sailed, to classicland they go! Only the crusader fort stood between them and endless bricks to plunder. Frokn, Viking lord and terror of the plastic sea knows too well that two forces are better than one, so he made a deal with the ruthless mercenary Lord Guy a deal to storm the fort together. Meanwhile, the Forest Men heard of the impending invasion and rush to defend the Crusader's Castle.

How did he address the Love Duel and Logic Error? One would think that would be... difficult to work around. There's no way Rosa can do it, which is fine if you just accept Erika doing it... except then what is the point of that dreadfully important Love Duel sequence and the fantasy murders? Why would there be a contest at all between two individual people and... some sort of fantasy of a dead person? Even if you were to accept Shannon and Kanon having a conflict despite being separate people (which for the sake of argument you could do, I suppose), that third wheel of Beatrice doesn't appear to fit there.
Also it's sort of basing itself on the implication that Ryukishi is more clever than he looks, which has been thrown into question time and again. It would also seem to ignore the entirety of Our Confession, which was marketed as a sort of hintbook to how a gameboard murder sequence is constructed. Is he dismissing that as yet more authorial misdirection? Why go to so much trouble?

Genji served the family through all his life and likely so Kumasawa.
Shannon served it for most of her life.
Kanon and Gohda are relatively new but they work in the family by more than 1 year.
What would they have to gain by starting such thing?
It's not like they can inherit the family fortune.
Of course for Rosa is pretty easy to suspect of the servants. She knows that she's not the culprit and that all her siblings and husband/wifes are dead and she likely know Kinzo is dead as well.
So the culprit is either an extra person, the servants or one of her nephews and really, the servants look like the most likely ones.
I'm fine with a bit of red herring but an intere episode... it would be too much to stomach.

It sometimes pays to hide your sand on the beach, after all.
Furthermore, the somewhat obvious involvement of the servants, in my opinion, is offset by the fact that as of that point in the story, there's NO apparent reason for any of those who remain (Genji, Kumasawa, Kanon) to go on some kind of murder spree. In fact, I'd say that at that point in the story, the best possible theory was that someone was trying to frame the servants.
1. Sacrificing a single human piece at the right time can make the mystery much, much harder to solve.
2. She didn't seem very interested in preserving Beato's fantasy narrative
3. Must not be the same culprit we're usually looking at.
4. Must not be the same culprit we're usually looking at.
5. Must not be the same culprit we're usually looking at.
Anyway, there's not much indication any of this refers to Rosa, specifically?
Also, even though the discussion has kinda moves on, in regards to Chronotrig asking what kind of gameboard evidence we can use to tie Shannon to the crimes ... well, based on what was said in those posts, I don't really know what kind of gameboard occurrence would satisfy you, other than Battler literally witnessing her murdering somebody. :-/

I watched KnowNoMore's videos and I think his theory is impressive. So much better thought out than anything I did. But even then I rate it only as "plausible", because the picture he paints of Rosa as the culprit isn't any stronger than what episode 7 does with Yasu.
Also it has the gross implication that the author is continuing to mess with us and lied in interviews. But just the fact that two completely different culprit theories can be made for the same story that are this detailed, kinda blew my mind. It made me think there's maybe more to Umineko than what we see, and now some part me of me expects Ryukishi to some day come back wearing a huge troll grin as he reveals the true conclusion to the story.
Unrealistic, I know...but it would be damn awesome.
Far-fetched speculation: Maybe the smoke-and-mirrors is continuing on this long because he wants to give manga-only readers time to finish the story and draw their own conclusions.

From what I remember of the theory basically:
The Culprit is Rosa. She kills everyone because she is trying to revive the Kuwadorian Beatrice that she 'killed.' Yasu is a projection of her regret for killing Beatrice. She is in love with Battler in an Aunt sorta way (I don't even know)
There is a secondary Culprit George. George is creepily in love with Shannon and wants to kill off everyone but Shannon then fake his death and start out a new life.
The Accomplice is Nanjo. Nanjo does the little things here and there to make it look like magic. Nanjo is in it for the money so he can save his sick grandchild.
Episode 1 Rosa fakes her death yadayada. Kanon faked his death to try and Battle Rosa only to end up getting shot by Natsuhi.
Episode 2 Rosa is lying to create locked rooms then George kills everyone else at the end.
Episode 3 Rosa is betrayed by George then George is betrayed by Nanjo who then gets killed by George in revenge. Eva only kills Krauss and Natsuhi.
Episode 4 Rosa fakes her death yadayada. She commits suicide similar to how Shannon commits suicide except she just falls on her gun hiding it.
A couple flaws in his theory that he admits to.
Kanon somehow getting the stake to fake his death
The fact that there is absolutely nothing in the story linking George to Rosa.
He also believe that Ange's world is a lie that spawned from the third arc and prime is actually the second arc. Battler also never returns to Ange considering it's a fake reality and instead died in a boat crash fleeing the island. Everything going on is not from message bottles but is actually going on in Battler's head as he slowly dies. His evidence for this is at the end of the Second arc that says no one survived in red.
His main piece of evidence for his theory though is that in Our confessions it states that Beatrice was writing three stories at the same time, one being the magical solution, one being the Shkanon solution and the third being the hidden truth.

Yeah his theory has pitfalls, like that he needs Nanjo as an accomplice in episode 3. In fact he sees Nanjo as the ideal accomplice, which is a mistake. The only motive for Nanjo is his sick grandson, but it's said in the TIPS that the grandson has an incurable disease that you can't do much about even if you had great wealth. If he did need money I'm sure he could borrow it from Kinzo. Also his son receives a billion yen in Ange's world but doesn't even accept it.

What's this, the alliance between kid stalkers?
Personally I can accept the Nanjo is doing it for money for his grandchild, I can swallow the George is actually insane so all those pretty words about challenging the world to be with Shannon meant actually backstabbing the world do death to get Shannon but the whole about Rosa murdering everyone to revive Kuwadorian Beatrice and because she loves Battler is... hum... I've no words...
And again poor Maria gets completely ignored by her mom.
Ep 3 solution put in this way is almost comical with A backstabbing B who get backstabbed by C so B backstab him in retaliation with Eva deciding to join the culprit bunch by killing Natsuhi and Krauss (and Battler actually).
Though I guess maybe the solution is more complex and this is just a summary.
Not mentioning erasing Ange's world make part of Ep 4, 6 and 8 pretty meaningless as the real Ange's destiny would be unknown and pointless to discuss over as she wouldn't be entrusted to Eva (who died) and therefore she might have been raised as the happiest girl ever... or she could hae been run over by a car the day after the incident.
I really wish he would trascript his solution though because it seems unfair to discuss it only by knowing bits and pieces of it but for a not English speaker like me listening to such a long English video would only mean a headache.

It's a platonic and one-sided love that Rosa develops for several reasons and keeps to herself (although she does state that she misses Battler and even playfully flirts with him in one scene)
Rosa wants to carry out the murders as a magical ceremony, and needs to introduce risks for the magic to work. She is also looking for people to understand her. For these reasons she wants Battler as the "detective" to try and stop her.
Rosa is also a friend of Shannon's and roots for Shannon's romance with Battler. Once Shannon gives up after three years of waiting, Rosa feels guilty and, like in the meta-world perspective of ep7, "takes over" the love for Battler and starts rooting for Shannon+George instead (until deciding to kill everyone which requires betraying Shannon and George)
To imagine Rosa's relationship with Shannon, consider the scenes in episodes 2 and 7, and that Rosa comes up with the fictional character that develops from Yasu to Claire to Beatrice, and finally becomes the dominant aspect of Rosa's personality.
Rosa would also see Battler as Kinzo's true heir. She feels guilty because of the original Beatrice's death so she comes to treat Battler specially because of this.
The love duel is explained something like this:
For Rosa to fulfill her plan and to get Battler to understand her, everyone has to die and be resurrected in the golden land or whatever. She's delusional and doesn't really have a chance in this duel to begin with.
George is the second culprit and his plan involves escaping with Shannon while the bomb kills everyone else, especially Battler. George is about to be betrayed by Rosa so only one of them can survive anyway, bomb or not.
Kanon and Jessica can only end up together if both Rosa and George fail (either die or get arrested)
Shannon+George win the duel because of Erika's influence in this game, she decapitates Rosa and shoots Kanon to death in the closet...way to go.

And again poor Maria gets completely ignored by her mom.[/QUOTE]
Rosa's motive in his theory always really bothered me. She is trying to revive Beatrice by creating closed rooms to simulate magic to get Battler into thinking there is magic?
A couple other things to note is Rosa's motive goes into a lot more depth than what I summarized it as. I just don't feel like rewatching that part as it's probably the most boring part of the entire video (which is saying something). I really stopped caring about the motive and clues towards Rosa after he started comparing Gapp's clothes to Rosa's fashion company. All in all his theory is OK. Personally I would really like to see Ryukishi come out and say Shkanon was a lie and the actually culprit was Gohda.

There's a big problem with KnM's theory as far as Episode 4 goes.
In the ostensible solution, the six people killed at the first twilight would have been dead 90 minutes by the time Battler found them. The bodies would be long cold by then, and any blood would have dried to a dark red.
It can't have been more than 10 minutes since he spoke with "Beatrice" outside. During that time, Rosa would have had to change out of her Beatrice costume, hide it, and kill herself. When Battler found her, the body would still be warm, the blood would still be bright red and mostly liquid.
My big problem with Umineko is that I don't know what I know. There's often a scene when the detective gets a preconception early, and reexamines it at the end and realizes there never was any evidence for the preconception, or perhaps that all the evidence was ultimately single-source; once the preconception is abandoned, another option might become available.
(For example, there have been a series of minor pranks; Character X mentions having learned who's behind them and is going to talk to the culprit and that the pranks will stop tonight. Instead, the pranks turn deadly with X being found dead at the site of the next prank. The protagonist implicitly assumes that the prankster is male for most of the book, but at the end thinks over the conversation and realizes that X never said the prankster was male, or used a male pronoun; the protagonist reexamines some female characters as suspects.)
The scene when Natsuhi meets Kinzo simply wouldn't have been allowed in most mysteries. Natsuhi talking with Kinzo didn't happen. Showing Natsuhi recounting the events afterwards would be fine; she did say those words, even if they were untrue.
In the latter case, when I start doubting that Kinzo is alive, I can reexamine my reasons for thinking he's alive ("I have only Natsuhi's word that she spoke with Kinzo."). If I do decided Natsuhi is lying, I can try to examine her reasons for lying. As Ryu did things, if I think a hypothesis may be completely wrong, I don't have any place to start.
Side comment: If Battler's sin refers to hurting Shannon, then it almost has to be Shannon as the mastermind. Otherwise, you have the problem of 1) the person must know that Shannon is hurt, 2) must think that Battler is bad for doing so, and 3) didn't encourage Shannon to act on her own. Shannon didn't even tell Jessica how she felt. George and Kyrie might have guessed that Shannon was hurt, and wouldn't have encouraged her, but why would they view that as a sin. If Rosa had somehow learned that Shannon was upset, why didn't Rosa say something like "No matter how he feels about you, teenage boys tend to dig in their heels rather than change their minds. You don't have to ask him to come back, just enter a conversation. Mention a book you've just read and ask whether he's picked up any new authors."
And how was she supposed to learn about Shannon? She was probably in her early-mid 20s at the time Shannon started as a servant, mid-late 20s when Battler stopped coming; she probably wasn't living on the island at that time. Why would Shannon confide in Rosa?

But your point stands - noone even seems to know Shannon and Battler had any sort of "thing", at all. At most, George noticed that they got along much better than he himself did with the servant girls.
I'd say it could also put the EP5 parlor scene to rest, but I kinda don't even wanna discuss that anymnore.

Granted, to know Kinzo's personality to know that Natsuhi is contradicting it we needed to see all those other scenes of Kinzo where he's establishing his personality... none of which happened either. Damn.

To apply that in this specific case, we have conflicting testimony on what Kinzo's personality is. Therefore, one of those scenes must contain a lie. The fact that Kinzo left the epitaph as a way to determine his successor sort of kills the credibility of the Natsuhi scene, so we're forced to think of why that lie was created.

"While she was appealing to those who had love, her heart was also cynical and critical, full of wrath towards those who had no love."
And even more:
"These are her words,
but I want to repeat them.
In every persons heart exists love.
The fact that she was unable to see this herself, that is her true tragedy."
I think the first story is not only the magical narrative, but what she wanted people to see and to believe. The second story is what she wanted to imply, her confession and her wish to be found. And the third story, I think, is what she actually thought of those people, the unconscious aspect of her own writing in which she expressed all her uncontrolled emotions.
What this could tell us is that "Beatrice" was neither a witch of pure evil nor an innocent maiden, but she failed because she tried to see the world in black and white.

He doesn't even account for the love duel. He might say he does, since he talked about it, but he really doesn't. He actually introduces the topic by saying something along the lines of "Since ShKanon is impossible, an alternative explanation must be found", which basically means he approaches the whole issue of the love duel by assuming his own premise (which, to be fair, he came to for reasons not having to do with the love duel). Of course this means that he is ignoring anything in the love duel that points towards ShKanon simply by default, which is utterly ridiculous if you ask me. He does offer an alternative interpretation (I call it that rather than an "explanation") for the duel, where Rosa's (Beatrice's), George's, and Jessica's romantic interests are all incompatible situations and therefore only one of them can "win". There are so many awkward things about this interpretation, though, and I don't feel like listed all of them (unless someone would like me to).
When I first was reading Umineko, I didn't give ShKanon a second thought. While reading the love duel I was like "wtf really...how does that even work?" I didn't really want to believe it, but I had to. As far as I'm concerned, the love duel is the finisher for ShKanon and there is no room left for debate.
George's I find worse, since George doesn't even have a motive. What does mass murder have to do with him marrying Shannon?
And Nanjo's motive is probably the worst. Not only is it paper thin and already thoroughly refuted by another poster here, Nanjo'd probably be better off siding with the victims and just asking for the money later anyway.
So yeah I don't really mind about what he did with the various of the Golden Witch stories. Then again, that he dangles a bunch of 1998 stuff in front of us that we also can't rely on is pretty frustrating.
I would also like to add that Dlanor said that wanted us to get to the core of Beatrice's story as another woman.

And also he can kill children, but honestly it's not like children even count.
Given that, can we trust what Battler sees and says in other episodes? Why or why not? Are any of the Kinzo scenes accurate summations of his personality, or are none of them (or all of them)? It's ironically easier to compare and contrast the scenes which are obviously filled with magical things going on than the ones that give off an appearance of mundanity.
So I understand the frustration. The lack of any sort of especially definitive answer regarding Prime or indeed any of the basic information that someone in a theoretical Prime universe would have access to makes it very difficult to check a solution, and in the back of one's mind is always the specter of "Can I even rely on that information at all? If it turns out to be false, where does that reset my reasoning to?"

(LMT) Lockheed Martin Gets Army Contract
Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) was competitively awarded by the U.S. Army a $114 million, five-year contract to upgrade combat vehicle simulators for soldier training, and also to expand the training capability for the Marine Corps.
Per the contract, Lockheed Martin will develop and install 13 upgrades for close combat tactical training systems at 19 Army installations. The new technologies will add integrated displays and replicate tactical vehicle capabilities identical to those now entering the field. The enhancements will be fielded from February 2013.
In addition to the upgrades for the Army, the company will also deliver new training systems to the Marine Corps at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, providing commonality across services. Engineering work for this training system will be performed in Orlando, Florida.
Based in Bethesda, Maryland, Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company, engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. Key growth drivers of the company are its focus on debt repayment, its ongoing share repurchase program and the incremental dividend. Some of Lockheed Martin's main competitors are The Boeing Company (BA) and General Dynamics Corporation (GD).
Lockheed Martin recently reported strong third quarterly numbers of $2.26 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.85. This was also higher than the year-ago quarterly earnings of $2.06.
On the revenue front, Lockheed Martin reported quarterly revenue of $11.9 billion, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $11.1 billion. However, the figure fell below the year-ago quarterly revenue of $12.1 billion.
During the third quarter, the company repurchased 3.3 million shares at a cost of $294 million. In September this year, the company increased its quarterly dividend rate to $1.15 per share, up approximately by 15 cents from the current payout of approximately $1.00 per share. The proposed hike would bring the annual dividend to $4.60, up 15% from the previous payout. The increased quarterly dividend will be paid on December 28, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 3, 2012.
The U.S. defense budget for 2012 was $645.7 billion, with the base budget at $530.6 billion and $115.1 billion approved for Overseas Contingency Operations ("OCO") as supplementary defense spending, mainly to fund ongoing wars. In February this year, the Department of Defense ("DoD") requested a Pentagon base budget of $525.4 billion for 2013, which is approximately $5.1 billion or 1% less than what is approved for fiscal 2012, with $88.5 billion earmarked for OCO spending.
In early August 2012, the subcommittee recommended $511 billion for DoD's base budget and $93 billion for OCO spending, for a total of $604.5 billion for fiscal 2013.
Going forward, we believe Lockheed Martin has significant upside potential based on the Obama administration's focus on Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR), unmanned systems, force protection, cybersecurity, and missile defense. It already sits on an order backlog of approximately $75.6 billion at the end of the first nine months of 2012.
Further, we expect shareholder return to continue to be shored up by the company's focus on debt repayment, its ongoing share repurchase program and the incremental dividend.
However, we are concerned about the budget deficits and political uncertainty that make future defense budgets vulnerable to cutbacks. Lockheed Martin presently retains a short-term Zacks #3 Rank (Hold) that corresponds with our long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

Ceratus is the brother of Whiplash and leader of the Caligars of Subeternia, in Caligar Fiefdom. The Caligars had a long-running fued with Lord Dactus and the Sepleans.
History #1 (200X MYP Cartoons)
The Caligars are ruled by Ceratus, and regard the Evil Warrior Whiplash as a traitor. Masters of the Universe Classics adds more depth to Whiplash's betrayal by revealing him as Ceratus' younger brother, who grew up bitter under the rule of his older brother.
History #2 (Whiplash's Official Bio)
Following their father's untimely death, Torrant grew up bitter under the rule of his brother Ceratus. After year's of brooding in Sub-Ternia, he struck a deal with a surface dweller named Keldor and helped lead his forces in a raid against Randor's army during the Great Unrest. Although Keldor's plan failed, Torrant was banished from Sub-Ternia for betraying his people.

About Angela H.Close

When I took my first music theory course as a freshman in college, I was blown away. Theory is about so much more than being able to read the notes on the page - it's about figuring out what makes music work. What is it about this passage that moves me to tears? Why does this note, in this circumstance, sound so jarring? What does the listener expect at this point in the music? Music theory can answer these questions and more.
With a Master's degree in Music Theory from Washington University in Saint Louis, as well as two years' experience teaching freshman music theory at the college level, I'm the theory teacher you want. Whether your theory goals involve learning to read music, chord analysis, or phrase analysis and beyond, I've got the education, experience, and know-how to help you reach them.
About Angela
My home is a split-level, with my private living area above and my music studio below. There is a waiting area just outside the music studio, as well as a half-bath specifically designated for students and parents. The studio itself contains a piano and organ, my personal music library, and additional seating for parents. There is a full-length mirror for vocal students to watch their performance skills grow, and a gumball machine for when younger students have an exce
Making music is a skill which can bring lifelong joy to the musician as well as everyone around them. While I can easily ensure that my students enjoy music-making while they are taking lessons, my ultimate goal is that students continue to want to make music throughout their entire life, even after they stop taking lessons. I firmly believe that my job as a teacher is to train my students to be independent and self-sufficient musicians. Many teachers teach by rote, playing a passage to a student and then having the student play it back. Though this method is helpful in some situations, students who are taught in this manner often find that they are only able to play the songs taught to them in lessons, and that to learn a new song they must have a teacher by their side showing them how the song goes. In my lessons, however, students are taught to learn their own music through sight-reading, ear-training, music theory, and listening to and critiquing their own playing. Over time, this allows the student more and more freedom to make music without a teacher.

About Lisa
*** Lesson Details ***
I am a very laid back person however I'll make sure you get things done! It doesn't matter what you'd like to do with your music I can help you get there and reach your goals! I use two different curricula for piano: Alfred Piano Book Series and Faber Piano Book Series. Also to help motivate I let kids bring in a song or two they would like to play maybe from a movie or a pop song (it also depends on their level). For voice I usually let you bring in books you already have or if you don't have any I'll choose some based on what you'd like to learn in voice whether it be classical, broadway, jazz etc.
*** Studio Equipment ***
In home piano.
*** Specialties ***
I can start piano or voice at a very young age. Students will learn music theory with piano, vocal technique and performance with voice, and how to really be convincing while acting.

Lisa is very outgoing and entertaining. She is encouraging Ali to be braver/less timid when singing and acting...this is exactly what Ali needs. I appreciate Lisa's positive attitude. I would like to split each session into 30 minutes acting and 30 minutes singing. I think both disciplines could reinforce the other. If that seems to short maybe we can move to 1.5 hours.

About Richard D.Close
Music theory is a fancy term for "how to think about music". If you wish to learn how and why certain music sounds like it does or makes you feel the way it does, we can explore these theories and concepts to develop different strategies to help you reach the next level of artistic expression.
About Richard
*** Lesson Detai
My students can expect professional, expert advise from a working performance artist. One of my main philosophies is a focus on fun. If music is fun, then students will practice more - which leads to accelerating returns. My students can expect lessons tailored to their specific goals. First I will discuss with the student musical influences and genre preferences, then I will assess the student's current abilities and we will begin designing a weekly regimen of practice and study. As a product of the Internet generation, I recommend using all the tools available to my students including the Internet to further their goals. My students will also learn to perform with other musicians, so we will typically have a segment of each lesson dedicated to jam time. Whether my students aspire to be professional performance artists, impress their love interests, or just rock out in their bedrooms, I work with my students so that they can do exactly that.
*** Studio Equipment ***
one bedroom apt...hardwood floor...central room for studio...music stands, room parents to sit, chairs...
*** Travel Equipment ***
I bring a music stand, an acoustic guitar, my handout literature, and any other equipment (mic, stand, vocal amp, electric guitar, guitar amp) based on what my students want to learn. I expect my students to own whatever instruments they want to learn.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in teaching acoustic and electric guitar and stage performance. I teach using handouts that I customize for students and have lessons made up around different concepts such as - learning to identify what key a song is in - how to use 3 chord combinations - learning scales and when to use them - these type of things. I usually teach based on how I learned, which includes - using the Internet to learn songs - how to figure out how a particular song is played - getting into good practice habits - etc. My genres of specialty are Blues, Rock/Classic Rock/Southern Rock, and Acoustic Singer/Songwriter. What I like to do is ask a student what kind of music or songs they would like to learn, then build them up to the level they need to be to play those songs or that style of interest.

*** Lesson Details ***
I teach students of all ages in a fun and positive manner. I am flexible and will tailor the lessons to satisfy your own individual goals. Whether you are a beginner that wants to gain a foundation in technique, sight reading, and basic theory or an intermediate or more advanced player that wants to increase their knowledge and polish their skills, I will devise a plan to meet your needs. I encourage regular practice and like my students to keep a journal to monitor their progress.
I teach a variety of styles including classical guitar, blues, rock, jazz, and avant-garde.
Ultimately, I believe everyone needs a creative outlet, a way to express themselves, and has something unique to say, and I aim to help those students find their own voice.

About Daniela K.Close
Learning music theory through games can be a lot of fun and will give the student much needed foundation for playing any musical instrument.
About Daniela
I have been teaching piano and theory since 1994 and have loved helping my students discover the beautiful world of music. Seeing my students grow into well rounded and educated people that love art, are able to recognize different styles of music, express their feelings and emotions on this wonderful instrument makes me really happy. My students range from people who simply want to learn how to play proficiently as a hobby to students who are considering making music their future career.
I strongly believe that a chance to go on a big stage and play on a great Steinway piano in front of people, makes a big difference in children's lives: teaches them self control, gives them great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Taking part in festivals and piano competitions helps
I look forward to helping you and your children to reach your goals!

About Chris
I offer lessons to people of ALL AGES! I customize my lessons to focus on the things YOU WANT TO LEARN. My favorite thing to teach is how to play by ear! I can teach you the system that all professional musicians use to be able to play songs instantly after hearing it once. It really is possible with a little practice.
I do also teach the classical repertoire if that is what you are more interested in. For most students, I teach a combination of playing by ear and learning music theory, as well as some classical repertoire.

About Ryan T.Close
My music theory lessons are workable for any level of musician no matter what they are looking for out of music theory. I can accomodate those looking to get a leg up before their college theory courses or3 some who may need help with their current theory courses. I also can teach those who have a more natural experience with music and haven't learned music in an academic setting. looking to connect with the theory of music. If you are a Rocker, a Shredder, or songwriter looking to understand more about what you are already doing or connect those dots to new avenues, I can help you get there. I also have extensive experience on most interested in the pop, rock, and jazz realm and can help connecting theoretical concepts to your instrument as well as teaching some basic piano skills.
About Ryan
My specialty is in Jazz/pop theory and arranging however, I am well versed in classical theory much akin to what you would learn in a university setting. Whether or not you are looking for tutoring for your music theory course in school, a classical musician looking to branch into jazz theory, or an aspiring songwriter looking to explore new sounds, I believe
My method stresses the importance of ear training and recognition with sound, connecting what you hear with the theoretical concept in written form. I will teach you scales, how to make chords, voicing chords, voice leading from chord to chord, and how to use all of these skills while reading a lead sheet.
If you wish to expand your jazz skills and improvising, we will take all of the previously mentioned skills and learn how to improvise from the knowledge that we have of theory, returning to the ear to draw connections with what we hear and understanding how to recreate the sounds we hear.
I hope aid you in improving your skills on piano, trumpet, guitar, or bass, through music theory and get all of the creativity inside your head out onto your instrument!

Like other subjects I teach, we will begin at your current level and progress from there. If you're just starting to learn music theory and need to learn the basics - or even if you're more advanced and want to learn elements of voice leading, atonal theory, or even Schenkerian analysis - I will explain theoretical concepts, break them down, and ensure you understand each aspect of our lesson. I have also given music theory lessons as a way of tutoring students currently enrolled in an academic music theory course. Just let me know your current level and we'll design a plan for you!

FAA Oks Passengers Using Gadgets On Planes
WASHINGTON (AP) — You still won't be able to use your cellphone. But depending on which airline you fly, you may soon start getting permission from the flight crew to use other electronic devices throughout your flight.
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued new guidelines under which passengers will be able to use devices to read, work, play games, watch movies and listen to music, from the time they board to the time they leave the plane.
Before they can implement the changes, airlines will have to show the FAA that their planes are protected from electronic interference, and that they've updated flight crew training manuals and the rules for stowing devices. Delta says it's submitting a plan to implement the new policy. The head of the FAA says the vast majority of airliners should qualify.
Passengers will be told to switch their smartphones, tablets and other devices to airplane mode. And heavier devices such as laptops will still have to be stowed because of concern they might injure someone if they go flying around the cabin.
A travel industry group is welcoming the changes. The U.S. Travel Association says it's a common-sense move to accommodate a traveling public equipped with plenty of technology.

The story so far: as we noted yesterday ["12-Dec-12: European friends, European foes"], Denmark is one of four European governments - the others are Finland, Portugal and Ireland - whose foreign ministers opposed a pan-European condemnation on Monday of very public and deliberate calls by the Hamas leader for the destruction of Israel and its Jews. We posted quotations from the speech that the Danes preferred to ignore here: "11-Dec-12: On screaming silence and thundering demagoguery".
Today there's this:
Israel's ambassador to Denmark reportedly warned Jews to avoid being identified as such in Copenhagen.Here's a memento of the Denmark that used to be before it began to be what it is becoming:
"We advise Israelis who come to Denmark and want to go to the synagogue to wait to don their skull caps until they enter the building and not to wear them in the street, irrespective of whether the areas they are visiting are seen as being safe," Amb. Arthur Avnon is quoted as telling AFP on Wednesday. The news agency reported that Avnon also advised visitors not to "speak Hebrew loudly" or demonstrably wear Star of David jewelry...
Demonstrators who gathered outside the embassy near Copenhagen last month threw fireworks and sprayed the embassy walls with graffiti. Two days before, protesters spray-painted the words "child killers" on the white walls that surround the Israeli diplomatic mission in the embassy complex, according to the Coordination Forum for Countering Anti-Semitism, an international watchdog group.
"Sadly, this has been our recommendation for a long time now and we back the ambassador in what he said," Michael Gelvan, chairman of the Nordic Jewish Security Council, told JTA. "We have confronted police about this, but the answer we got is that there are areas of Copenhagen where they [the Danish police] cannot walk around in uniform - which is no answer at all, but rather an indication of how chaotic the situation has become."
Sadly, we fully expect to be posting numerous follow-up items about the other parts of the continent.

George Clayton Johnson, who wrote the script for the first "Star Trek" episode to air and co-wrote "Logan's Run," died Friday, Dec. 25 in the Los Angeles area following a battle with cancer, according to his son, Paul Johnson. He was 86.
He was born in Cheyenne, Wyo., in 1929. He broke into the entertainment business in 1959 when he wrote the "I'll Take Care of You" episode for "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." During his career he also wrote eight episodes for "Twilight Zone," the seminal sci-fi series from the 60s; and wrote a short story that would serve as the basis for Frank Sinatra's 1960 movie "Ocean's 11" and the George Clooney-Brad Pitt remake in 2001.
His script "The Man Trap" was the basis for the first "Star Trek" episode, which aired on Sept. 8, 1966. It centered on salt-hungry creature who terrorized the crew of the USS Enterprise.
