Member of the British Empire
Warrant Officer Edgar Juffs (unknown)
British Empire Medal
Flight Lieutenant John Holder (55 Squadron, Baltimores)
Pilot Officer John Philp (149 Squadron, Stirlings)
Flying Officer William Grant (166 Squadron, Lancaster)
Royal Humane Society Bronze Medal
Aircraftman 1st Class Jack Heap (151 Maintenance Unit, captured in Singapore)
Two men won more than one medal – Group Captain Mcdonald CBE MiD (twice) and Wing Commander John Buchanan DSO DFC.
There seems to have been a fairly even split between officers and men winning awards – due to the specific nature of the air war, all men in the air were at the sharp end and had almost equal opportunities for showing bravery. Of course senior officers – pilots and commanders,for example – had more chance of winning leadership awards such as the DSO. Medals could also be awarded for prolonged good service or bravery rather than just one incident – something that was important given how Bomber crews in particular went up into the air night after night.
The vast majority of awards were given for men serving in bombers. Flight Lieutenant James Potter's DFM was given for service with Hudson's in Coastal Command. Flying Officer John Coghlan's DFC was awarded for flying Hurricanes in Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain.
Another interesting point to note are two commissioned officers who were awarded Distinguished Flying Medals – an award normally given to NCO's and men. These medals were obviously won while the recipients were NCO's and before they were commissioned as officers.
Aircraftman 1st Class Jack Heap's Royal Humane Society Bronze Medal was awarded posthumously for life saving deeds on 8 November 1944 whilst he was a prisoner of the Japanese after being captured at Singapore.

Te Taitimu Trust Wānanga – Waipawa
Press Release – New Zealand Government
Hon Tariana Turia Minister Whnau Ora Associate Minister of Health Thursday 10 January 2013 Speech Te Taitimu Trust Wnanga – Waipawa (Check against delivery) E ng mana, e ng reo, e ng karangatanga maha, tn koutou katoa. Thank you …
Hon Tariana Turia
Minister Whānau Ora
Associate Minister of Health
Thursday 10 January 2013 Speech
Te Taitimu Trust Wānanga – Waipawa
(Check against delivery)
E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā karangatanga maha, tēnā koutou katoa.
Thank you for inviting me here today. This is my first official speaking engagement for 2013 and what better way to begin the working year than with a visit here today with Te Taitimu Trust – an iwi based organisation that is focusing on the future of their rangatahi.
To all the rangatahi who have come here to take part in this leadership wānanga – I congratulate you and acknowledge you for participating in what I am certain will be an inspiring and challenging five days.
In many of the speeches I deliver, I often talk about the need to grasp onto our Maori culture, our tikanga, and our practices because when we know who we are and where we have come from – we know where we are going.
Whakawhanaungatanga – the practice of connecting with whānau -whether it be with our extended family or friends – is vital for our spiritual wellbeing. What a great opportunity this wānanga has created for you to make new friends – rekindle old ties and meet relations you may have not met before.
I would like to acknowledge also the kaupapa of this wānanga that is re-connecting you all with Tangaroa and Hinemoana – the guardians of the sea.
Tangaroa has provided food and sustenance for our people for centuries – Tangaroa has also provided the pathway in which our ancestors have traversed Te Moana nui a Kiwa (the Pacific Ocean) in search of new lands. And today through the fishing industry, Tangaroa provides an economic base for many iwi. Our bond with Tangaroa and Hinemoana reflects our history as sea faring people.
You will – I know learn about the spiritual and physical bonds we have with the ocean – but equally as important I know you will also learn about the dangers of the ocean. We have amongst us, Rob Hewitt -a man who has inspired us all with his incredible story of survival in the ocean. A man who spent more than 70 hours alone in the sea – waiting to be rescued – to return to his family and friends.
And I can recall Rob's story he has shared with so many – that after spending that long in the ocean by himself – he passed the time by thinking about what was important to him – and he came to the conclusion we would all come too – the dearest thing to him was of course – his family and friends.
So the importance of family, and family ties – that is Whakawhanaungatanga – is a really important value that we as Māori have always held dear to our hearts. It is a bond that we form between people, within whānau – through values -and sometimes across communities and it shapes our sense of self-belief. It is a belief that we are of value, no matter who we are, and that we do have the means and the power to be able to do for ourselves.
Self-belief that we can achieve for ourselves – for our families – for our futures by building and strengthening our family ties and community connections are critical elements for the well-being of our families – that is – Whanau Ora.
Whanau Ora is a way of life that encourages independence in us all. Whanau Ora is about the whole whanau – not just individual family members. We all have the ability to change our futures – to set our own goals – to make our own plans – and to determine our destiny. The cultural connections, the challenges, the knowledge, the survival skills, the recognition and connection with the Māori spirit world that you will learn at this wananga – will take you in a direction that will help to prepare you for the future.
I have sometimes been accused of living in the past – but I truly believe that if we do not recognise and acknowledge our past – we cannot move forward into the future. Our ancestors – our tupuna – had survival skills and did not rely on anyone else let alone any government agency to survive. They relied on each other. So let us learn from the ways of our tupuna and what it was that made them strong and independent and adapt that same self-belief for our own survival into the future.
To all the rangatahi here today – I encourage you to dream big, set your goals and aspirations high, and go forth to achieve them.
Ko te pae tawhiti
Whāia kia tata
Ko te pae tata
Whakamaua kia tina!
"Seek the distant horizon until it becomes closer – and grasp on to those horizons close to you. There is your destiny."
Go well and be safe in your journey. Tena koutou katoa.

1. Top 5 NZ reggae bands by Tosca, May 2010 - 5132 hits
"My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever."
- Bob Marley
[New Zealand has some great reggae bands and this list serves as nothing more than my pick of groups who have gone some way toward reaffirming or recapturing my love of reggae on a wider scale, and my love of Bob Marley in particular...]
2. Your top 5 most downloaded Freegal Music tracks by Tosca, May 2012 - 1174 hits
"Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole."
- Dean as played by Jensen Ackles in Supernatural
[I don't know about anybody else but Dean's saying above (which I like to use with my sisters but gets me absolutely nowhere) is totally the case in our household. Whichever person is driving is the one who gets to decide what music the rest of us listen to. My sisters and I took a road trip a couple of years ago to visit my grandfather's home town in the far north; I was banned from driving the car during our vacation. My love of country music, classic rock and the 80s will get me relegated to the backseat every time. It probably doesn't help that I have this unfortunate habit of driving like whatever music happens to be playing at the time. And it's made worse, I would think, by the fact that I adore angry girl music. The louder the better, as far as I'm concerned...]
3. 5 geeky Star Trek-related Etsy links by Tosca, April 2013 - 985 hits
"Five card stud, nothing wild. And the sky's the limit."
- Captain Jean Luc Picard, uttering the last line of the series, Star Trek: The Next Generation "All Good Things…"
[...I'm waiting - rather impatiently, I might add - for the Star Trek film to come out. Every few days or so I pop into Etsy and look up Star Trek related THINGS and STUFF. Weirdly(?), not to buy anything. I like to look at the items. Some of them are totally LOL-worthy. Others are a major case of WTF-ery. And just as many are ones I want to make myself (only I never do), or buy (yet another thing I never do). That means, folks, that today's list has absolutely nothing to do with our collections or libraries, and everything to do with indulging my forever fangirlness/geekiness. I'm wholly unrepentant about that. If this isn't your thing, feel free to skip this post. If it is, YAY. And if you need more Star Trek-related Etsy goodness, check out this link for ALL OF THE THINGS. Live long and prosper, people! (Sorry, couldn't resist - I'll be honest, I really didn't try to).]
4. Top 5 highest-grossing Bollywood films by Tosca, July 2011 - 981 hits
[I adore Bollywood movies. They're so full of life, colour, drama, music, romance, action, emotion and, let's face it, sometimes cheesey humour. The women are always beautiful and graceful and the men extremely goodlooking. My first tentative foray into Bollywood films wasn't a success at all, though. I had no clue about anything. I didn't know what actors or actresses I liked, I wasn't too sure if I would prefer the comedies over the dramas and I was totally unaware that some of the films are about three hours long. Three hours! I have the attention span of a goldfish so I felt my heart sink right then and there. It was about that time that a colleague at Manurewa Library, Sunita, decided to step in and help. Brilliant for me, probably not so much for her :) Thanks to Sunita I was hooked from her very first recommendation - Baghban starring Amitabh Bachchan - and have never looked back...]
5. My top 5 recipes from Alison & Simon Holst's "The New Zealand Bread Book" by Annie, December 2011 - 634 hits
"A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou."
- Omar Khayyam
[I grew up in a house where my mum made bread. And, because I was a kid and most kids' mums didn't make bread, sometimes this was embarrassing. But I do have fond memories of a group of my classmates around our house, all making bread with my mum.
Because I'm a fan of Alison Holst's recipes, the bread book caught my eye. I'm getting into baking in a big way – so seeing it for sale really cheaply persuaded me to give it a go.
Now, a year on, I can offer my fav go-to recipes out of this book. In another year, I'll probably have some more! Where available, I've added my notes from my copy of the book. I'm so addicted, my family bought me a food mixer for my 40th, one with a sturdy dough hook.
If you're looking for something a little bit different to contribute to those 'bring-a-plate' functions this season, try these out.

GDC survey says attendees are going indie, trending away from consoles
GDC organiser UBM has released its annual State of the Industry survey.
The results show both indie and non-console development on the rise amongst 2,500 surveyed who attended GDC or will attend this year's GDC.
The survey independently polled North American developers and brought forward several revealing statistics on what paths the industry is currently trending toward – albeit from a limited sample size.
53 per cent of respondents labeled themselves as indie developers; with 51 per cent of the group listed as indie for less than two years, and 24 per cent stating that they did not use a publisher for their last release. Overall, 46 per cent said they were on teams of 10 or less, and 20 per cent of the total were using a publisher at the time.
While only eight per cent of those polled had previously used crowd funding as a method to finance a project, a stout 44 per cent stated they plan to use the method in the future.
The mobile and tablet market is also peaking developer interest, with 38 per cent releasing at least one title, 55 per cent currently developing a title, and 58 per cent planning to release their next title for the platform.
PC and Mac are the next strongest platforms, with 34.6 per cent of developers launching their most recent release, 48 per cent developing current projects, and 49 per cent planning their next games for the platforms.
Consoles and handhelds told a starkly different story.
Between Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, Microsoft came out on top with just 13.2 per cent of those polled currently developing for the Xbox 360 and just under 14 per cent planning their next game on the 360. For the PS3, 13 per cent are releasing their current title for the console, and 12.4 per cent plan on it for their next game.
The study also found that an identical 11 per cent of developers are currently working on a title for the PS4 and the next Xbox console.
The Nintendo Wii U saw very little support, with only 4.6 per cent currently making a Wii U game, and just 6.4 per cent of those surveyed making their next game for the console.
Handhelds fared even worse. Less than two per cent of respondents made their last game for Vita, with only 4.2 per cent working on bringing their current game to Vita and just over five per cent planning to release their next effort on the platform.
The 3DS came in even lower on the interest scale, with two per cent currently making a 3DS game, and 2.8 per cent planning to release their upcoming release on the handheld.
The survey results come in a few weeks ahead of GDC 2013, taking place March 25-29 in San Francisco.

My Sassy Girl (HK - DVD R3)
Part comedy, part fantasy and part romance - My Sassy Girl proves once again that Asian cinema can juggle genres with real skill.
This review is sponsored by
Occasionally you come across a movie that is extremely difficult to categorise. The 'RomZomCom' Shaun of the Dead is a good example, falling into three different categories even if its bias was mainly towards one of them. The Asian title Windstruck is another classic example, mixing romance, comedy, fantasy and drama all into one to strangely entertaining effect. My Sassy Girl, although not an official sequel, pretty-much picks up where Windstruck left off, adopting the same strange clash of genres to entertain. So, does it work?
The movie kicks off with a girl being rescued from an oncoming train by a random guy who takes pity on her drunken state and tries to look after her. Getting himself into a great deal of trouble, when she later looks for him to find out exactly what happened, thanks are nowhere to be found. So begins a budding romance - My Sassy Girl is all about the hapless student Kyun-Woo, who falls in love with the angry, sassy girl with no name. However it is not only a romance, it is also a comedy with plenty of painfully funny scenarios for Kyun to get into. In addition, it is also a fantasy, mainly thanks to the fact that the Girl is a writer and Kyun has a vivid imagination, both combining for several great dream sequences.
Just like Windstruck, it manages to mix so many different styles and still remain entertaining, only to better effect here thanks to a lack of serious drama. Windstruck's biggest obstacle was pairing serious drama with comedy, romance and fantasy – here they just dropped the drama and the end result is a warm, consistently light-hearted ride. Of course the biggest positive thing that they have in common is the lead female star, Ji-Hyun Jun, who is extremely pretty and sassy as hell (with a great right-hook) – perfectly suited to this kind of role. These two films may pose the threat of typecasting her but since they only prove that she can do well in so many different genres, I hope that she gets yet more deservedly decent roles in the future.
Her match in this film is played by Tae-Hyun Cha, who does a painfully good job as Kyun. She frequently hits him (and I'm not talking light slap, I'm talking full on punch to the face), pushes him into lakes when he can't swim, makes him wear her high heels and pretty-much adds 'wanna die' to every single sentence she says to him. Despite all of this, he still wants to spend time with her and if not for Cha's spot-on performance, this would be utterly unbelievable. As is, they have great on-screen chemistry, better even than Jun had with her counterpart in Windstruck.
With chemistry, comedy, romance and fantasy all just about mixed in the right proportions, despite its ludicrously long runtime it never seems slow. What we have is a movie that you cannot help but like. I'm not sure that it's going to go into anybody's top ten (though that largely depends on how much you think of the cute-as-hell Jun) but I would be surprised if many people could resist enjoying this warm little movie. Be prepared for a fun, frolicking ride with a lovely lead girl and a happy-go-lucky story full of clever, inventive scenes. It is refreshing and feel-good, and highly recommended.
My Sassy Girl is presented in a lovely 1.85:1 aspect ratio anamorphically enhanced widescreen transfer. The detail is generally very good, with only mild softness from time to time and no noticeable grain. The colour scheme is extremely broad, jumping from winter to summer and reality to dream with consistently good representation of all the tones used. The blacks are also solid and deep, allowing for decent shadows. There was no sign of digital artefacting and the print appeared to have no damage whatsoever. Overall it is a solid visual presentation.
The main track is a disappointing Dolby Digital 2.0 mix. It cannot help but be disappointing due to its limited range and lack of depth. Of course the vocals are generally quite well represented, coming clearly from your frontal array, but the quirky soundtrack – that certainly does well to play to the more comedic elements of the movie – is given limited dynamics. Effects are also restricted and do not play as central a role to the aural proceedings as they should. If you turn the volume up and shift your speaker set-up, you can still perfectly enjoy the movie but you do notice the complete lack of activity from the rears, clearly proving that 5.1 or 6.1 would have been a better choice. The English subtitles are not fantastic but are far from the worst that I have come across, only occasionally needing further translation.
We have a few extras to round off the disc – a theatrical trailer, the music video to the barely tolerable HK ballad 'I Believe', a brief photo gallery and succinct cast and crew filmographies. Although it does not sound like a great deal, it is no worse than one of those 2-disc special editions with a whole disc of extra features that simply has no value because of a lack of English subtitles. By the way, this is the Director's Cut of My Sassy Girl, but since I have not seen the original I cannot comment on what differences there are. I suspect that, given it has a two-hours-and-seventeen-minutes runtime, the additions are fairly substantial.
My Sassy Girl is superb, fun and feel-good. It is a perfect combination of genres in a way that few Western equivalents have managed to juggle so successfully - and it stars Ji-Hyun Jun. The video is pretty damn good and whilst the audio is distinctly disappointing, the extras round the package off in a nice enough way to make it tempting. It is without a doubt a worthy rental and if you liked She's on Duty or more obviously Windstruck, then given My Sassy Girl's superiority, I would recommend picking this up right away.
You can purchase this title for $13.99 from Yes Asia.

ST. CHARLES – Kathy Enger has been through lice.
She spent hundreds of dollars on special vacuum cleaners and bagged all of her children's toys. She also spent hours culling the Internet for information about how to get rid of the tiny bugs that have been around for centuries.
"I felt there was no place to go," she said. "I didn't really know what to do. There was so much misinformation."
Her experience of trying to get rid of lice was the driving force behind the business she and Kathleen Bruns opened July in St. Charles, called Clean Curls.
Both women are certified in the Shepherd Method, which is a way of removing lice strand by strand. They also use nontoxic products to help with removal.
Because she said she ran into so much misinformation on the Internet, Enger said an important part of the business is educating families on how to prevent the spread of lice. Although she cleaned her home top to bottom, she found out through training that it wasn't necessary.
"Lice doesn't overtake your home," Enger said.
She encourages parents to think about where their children have been in the past 24 hours and concentrate on lice-removal tactics in those areas, including washing bedsheets and bath towels or vacuuming a play room. She said throwing a bed sheet over a couch for 24 hours is another effective way to get rid of lice.
Enger also suggests putting combs and brushes in a bag and sticking them in a freezer overnight.
She said only half the population itches from having lice. Parents can tell the difference between lice and dandruff by trying to flick the flake out of the hair. If a thumbnail is needed to pull it out, that's an indication that the child has nits, or lice eggs.
Enger said another myth about lice is that someone has dirty hair or dirty living conditions, which isn't true. Everyone can get it, she said.
"They prefer clean hair," Enger said. "It's just the luck of the draw who gets them and who doesn't."
Holly Taritas of Bartlett said she never expected her 4-year-old daughter to get lice. The news stopped her family in their tracks, and her daughter missed out on school activities as a result.
Taritas tried to get rid of them herself and went through the house bagging toys and washing everyone's clothing. But two weeks later, the lice came back.
"I was a crazy mom," she said.
Frustrated, Taritas called Clean Curls after coming across the business on the Internet. After a recent visit, she said she hopes the lice are gone for good.
Enger said the best defense against lice is to do regular checks.
"We really feel that every family should have a lice comb," she said, adding that it should be on every child's back-to-school list.
Juanita Gryfinski, a certified school nurse and department chair for health services at St. Charles School District 303, said children cannot, by law, be forced to stay home from school if they have lice. She said parents are notified about lice in school if there are more than two to three cases in a class.
But it's likely that children didn't get lice while in school, she said.
Gryfinski said a 2008 study showed only 0.3 percent of lice cases in the St. Charles district were contracted while a child is at school. Gryfinski said preventing the spread of lice starts at home.
"I think the hardest part is for parents to stay vigilant," she said.
Lice usually are spread while children are at sleepovers, she said, adding it's more common among younger children because they tend to hug one another and have more head-to-head contact.
Enger said lice can't fly or jump. They typically won't leave a blood source unless they're sure they have another blood source waiting. She said that makes them less likely to be transferred from child to child through something like a hat or a comb.
"It's not the environment, it's the head-to-head contact," she said.

Sometimes, so the saying goes, our success contains the seeds of our destruction. At other times, a phoenix is born out of the ashes. Both have proven to be the case in the scrap industry.
The success of entrepreneurs who built their companies—or companies founded by their fathers or grandfathers—attracts the attention of larger companies, and they see control being wrested away from them. The question is what to do next.
Some receive a financial offer too good to refuse. For others, the offer comes at a time when they are ready to bail out the business is strong, there are no heirs to take over the reins and they are lured by year-round warm weather in Florida.
Some are only too happy to pack it in and leave. Others stay on for a while and work as an employee where once they were an owner. Some chafe under the rules of the corporate world, and within a year or two they are no longer employed by the company started by their impoverished immigrant grandfathers and built into a powerful business.
For some this is fine; they agree to teach the business to others. For others, it is a change demonstrating that "their" company is no longer the entrepreneurial family owned and operated company they grew up with and helped to build.
Some are content to accept this fate. They made the choice to yield the power and decision-making when they sold the company. Others aren't quite ready to toss in the towel, though. They sit quietly and observe the noncompete rules spelled out in their severance agreement—and wait.
They may not say it, but starting up a new yard and building it into a competitor is front and center in their minds. I can think of perhaps a half-dozen such industry members; I won't name them, but most know who they are. And better than that, they know their goals and how to achieve them.
A few of these displaced entrepreneurs were at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries annual convention in San Diego. They did not go away quietly, as some might have hoped. They are ready for new challenges. They also serve as a dramatic counterpoint to the wannabe entrepreneurs who leapt into the scrap business in the 1990s.
Armed with money from lenders on Wall Street, these players bought up one scrapyard after another. As I recall, the main goal of one was to buy only scrapyards with shredders. No consideration was given to whether it would have enough junked vehicles and appliances to feed those shredders. When that strategy failed, it shifted to buying up scrapyards in one region.
In truth, it was a house of cards built with other people's money and it collapsed on itself.Companies that started buying binges in 1995 and 1996 were on life support by 1998.
One, Recycling Industries, simply folded up and its yards were shut down or sold back to the original owners by the bankruptcy court. Philip Services Corp. had two trips through bankruptcy court and is doing well these days. Metal Management Inc. was in bankruptcy as well, but many of the yards that made up its corporate family were the cream of the crop. It has survived and thrived, and is now known as Sims Metal Management, having merged with Australia-based Sims Group.
More often, though, success in the scrap business is measured in slow, steady progress. One now-retired scrap entrepreneur liked to boast that he arrived in the South aboard a train after World War II with $40 or $50 in his pocket and set out to make his mark in the scrap business. He did.
The details of his life are unique, but there are many similar biographies in the scrap business. Some worked by themselves or for another company before they saw an opportunity and pursued it. Some failed and went back to work for another company. Others were favored by the growth of industries like the steel mini-mills and their dependence on scrap to make finished steel products. Others were able to build their businesses under less-favorable circumstances but succeeded nevertheless.
That success turned what was sometimes a bonanza-or-bust business like scrap processing into a high-tech link in the metals supply network. It was inevitable that some would be deemed takeover targets by steel companies anxious to gain more control over their raw materials. They went from being scrapyards to commodity suppliers, and it was not long before their customers longed to control them.
None of this is new to the steel industry, or other manufacturing industries for that matter. The big integrated steelmakers of the past bought up coal and iron ore mines. Auto assemblers learned to make cast iron motor blocks or bought the foundries that knew how to pour the metal and machine them.
Now, some mini-mills have scooped up the most desirable scrap suppliers to make certain they have an assured supply of scrap. It's not a simple make-or-buy decision; it's more a question of survival.
These acquisitions might seem like the hallmarks of a mature industry where there is little room for new entrants. But don't tell that to any of those displaced entrepreneurs anxious to get back in the game. They might just prove you wrong.

Galina Vishnevskaya
Russian opera singer, wife of Rostropovich
Galina Vishnevskaya, 86, a world-renowned Russian opera diva who with her husband defied the Soviet regime to give shelter to writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn and suffered exile from her homeland, died Tuesday in Moscow.
Moscow's Opera Center, which Vishnevskaya created, announced her death but did not state the cause.
Vishnevskaya, celebrated internationally for her rich soprano voice, married cellist Mstislav Rostropovich in 1955. They frequently performed together and used their star status in the Soviet Union to help friends in trouble. In the most notable example of their defiance of the Communist authorities, they sheltered Solzhenitsyn at their country home for several years as he faced official reprisals.
After Solzhenitsyn was expelled from the country, Vishnevskaya and Rostropovich left with their two daughters in 1974. They lived in Paris and then Washington, and were stripped of their Soviet citizenship in 1978.
They returned to Russia after the Soviet collapse and became involved in public activities and charitable work. Rostropovich, who was Vishnevskaya's third husband, died in 2007.
Vishnevskaya was born Oct. 25, 1926, in Leningrad. Her parents separated when she was 5, and she was raised by her grandmother. She remained in the city during the Nazi siege during World War II and served as a volunteer helping defend the city from Luftwaffe bombings.
Vishnevskaya joined Moscow's Bolshoi Theater in 1952, making her debut as Tatiana in "Yevgeny Onegin" the following year. She remained its prima donna for more than two decades, performing dozens of soprano roles in Russian and European opera classics.
Dmitri Shostakovich, a neighbor and a close friend, wrote two song cycles and an orchestration of Mussorgsky's "Songs and Dances of Death" for her. Benjamin Britten wanted her to be part of the premiere of his "War Requiem" in 1962, but the authorities prevented her from leaving the Soviet Union.
She made her Metropolitan Opera debut as Aida in 1961 and first sang Liu in Turandot at La Scala in 1964. In 1966, she won the coveted title of People's Artist of the U.S.S.R.
Lisa della Casa
Soprano known for Mozart, Strauss roles
Lisa della Casa, 93, a soprano known for her sweet voice and exquisite elegance, died Monday in the Swiss town of Muensterlingen, the Vienna Opera announced.
The late English music critic Sir Neville Cardus reportedly once said of Della Casa that one should go to her concerts twice: once to listen, once to look.
The soprano "possessed an instrument of crystalline purity," a Times reviewer wrote in 1990 of her landmark recording of Richard Strauss' "Four Last Songs."
Della Casa was born in 1919 in Burgdorf, Switzerland, and trained in Zurich. She made her debut in 1941 performing in Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" in the Swiss town of Solothurn-Biel. She remained in neutral Switzerland during World War II.
After the war she went on to sing on the world's great opera stages, including the Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera House and La Scala. She was a member of the Vienna State Opera, where she appeared 411 times.
Della Casa went on to perform many of the great roles, including in such operas as "La Boheme" and "Rigoletto."
But she was especially known for her interpretations of Strauss and Mozart, notably in Strauss' "Arabella," "Der Rosenkavalier" and "Ariadne auf Naxos" and in Mozart's "Don Giovanni," "The Marriage of Figaro" and "The Magic Flute."
She often returned to the role of the Countess in "The Marriage of Figaro," which she sang regularly in Europe and at the Met.
The singer retired unexpectedly in 1974. She disdained the dishonorable aspects of the music business and, according to the "All Music Guide to Classical Music," she "loathed the intrigues, jealousies, and cabals that often infested the operatic world."
Paul Rauch, a longtime executive in the daytime drama world who produced "Another World," "One Life to Live" and "Santa Barbara," died Monday in New York of complications from blood clots, said his wife, playwright Israela Margalit. He was 78.

A small, but influential antivirus testing company in Germany, AV-Test, claims for a second time that Microsoft's (News - Alert) antivirus program, Microsoft Security Essentials, is not up to snuff. However, the Program Manager at the Microsoft Malware Protection Center, Joe Blackbird, defends the program saying that the test is not real world, and it does not indicate that users are unprotected.
Microsoft Security Essentials passed two of the three categories in AV-Test's battery, the protection and usability sections, but failed the repair test.
Blackbird argues that the types of threats that AV-Test is using includes zero-day malware threat testing that is unrealistic, stating that "99.997 percent of our customers hit with any zero-day did not encounter the malware samples tested in this test."
AV-Test's selection of 100 zero-day threats were random, and for Microsoft to have missed 28 of those does not seem like a good sign. Microsoft also missed 9% of the 216,000 files from the recent malware list. Again, Blackbird contends that when Microsoft specifically looked for these files on customer's machines, they could find nothing.
According to Blackbird, in December 2012, the company "processed 20 million new potentially malicious files, and, using telemetry and customer impact to prioritize those files, added protection that blocked 4 million different malicious files on nearly 3 million computers. Those 4 million files could have been customer-impacting if we had not prioritized them appropriately."
Basically, Microsoft is claiming it did poorly in this test because it has been concentrated on files it knows to be actively malicious towards its customers, rather than a random assortment of malware.
This defense sounds decent, yet other antivirus companies, such as Bitdefender, F-Secure (News - Alert), and Trend Micro, have all received the top score of 6 of 6 from AV-Test.
While AV-Test's test may not be entirely comprehensive, it does show that there are weak points in Microsoft's software and that it is not one of the best antivirust products.

You've got to have a good amount of self-assurance to refer to your work as a "Bible." You are basically saying, I'm a god and I doth pass down these writings to thee. Is it possible to set up a greater expectation than to compare your own work to a book that millions of people use to guide them through life? Can any book come close to meriting such an expectation? Well, if your book consists of the most comprehensive set of whiskey reviews ever, then maybe.
And if God drinks whiskey, (and let's face it, if I can't have whiskey, I don't want to go to heaven), then I have no doubt that She owns a copy of Jim Murray's Whisky Bible. The Whisky bible, an annual publication now in its fourth year, is composed of British whiskey writer Jim Murray's tasting notes for literally thousands of whiskies. It includes not only Scotch, Bourbon, Irish, Canadian and Japanese, but whiskies from Europe, Asia, South America and Africa. It reviews $10 bottles and bottles that only the wealthiest collector could ever hope to lay hands on. It is truly a thing to behold.
Now, I don't always agree with Jim's ratings. In fact, I'd say I disagree with him more than I agree, but his reviews are always interesting and the comprehensiveness of the book means if I want to know what whiskies a distillery has produced, I can just open up and look.
The Gospel of Jim Murray
Another thing I like about Jim is that, not unlike the writers of the other Bible, he has a distinct and somewhat contrarian point of view, and he's not afraid to share it. To wit:
- He was one of the first people I heard rail against the still common use of artificial coloring in Scotch.
- He is a champion of blended Scotch and
rails against single malt snobbery. He went so far as to name a blended Scotch his best rated whiskey this year.
- He thinks Bourbon is some of the finest whiskey being made today, no small feat for a Brit.
- He is a proponent of Canadian and Japanese whiskey as well as the new American single malts and wants to see those markets grow.
- He does not worship the false idols of price and age.
So, if you are an intermediate to advanced whiskey lover looking to expand your experience, this is the perfect book for you.
The availability of new editions is spotty in California, but for about $25 (depending on the exchange rate), you can order it on-line from www.whiskybible.com, and Jim will even sign your copy and encourage you to...keep the faith.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 11, 2009) - The ETSU men's soccer team had plenty of chances down the stretch but could not get the equalizer as the Bucs fell to Radford Friday night at Cupp Stadium in Radford, Va., 1-0.
"Radford had the better of play in the first half as they were a physical and hard working team, while we were very tentative from the start," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "In the second half we started to assert ourselves, and we were able to get a hold of the ball right from the beginning of the half. We played a majority of the second half on the Radford end of the field putting their back four under a lot of pressure. We created a number of good chances throughout the second half, but ultimately we were unlucky not to level the score."
The Bucs (1-1-1) outshot the Highlanders (2-1-0) 8-7 in the match as both teams drew four corners apiece. Senior Scott Rosman (Kenner, La.) had one save in goal for ETSU as he was tabbed with his first loss of the season.
Radford got on the board in the 21st minute as James Jordan caught the Bucs out of position and found a wide open Justin Zimmer who knocked in a shot from 12-yards out to give the Highlanders a 1-0 advantage.
ETSU gained the momentum towards the end of the first half, but the score remained 1-0 Highlanders at the break.
In the second half, the Bucs had several goal scoring chances but couldn't convert them to get the equalizing goal.
"In my opinion the second half was the best 45 minutes of play from this team this season," Calabrese said. "If we can put together a full 90 minutes at that level every time we compete, we will be a very difficult team to play against. Now we must look forward to an ACC opponent in Virginia Tech on Sunday."
ETSU is back in action Sunday as the Bucs head to Blacksburg, Va. to take on Virginia Tech in the Hilton Garden Hokie Invitational. For more information on Buccaneer men's soccer or any other athletic news, please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

David Barbero's family has been making torrone hazelnut nougat for five generations in the town of Asti since 1883, but neither the history nor repetitiveness seems to dull his passion.
When you ask him about torrone his eyes light up and he talks in fast, clipped English. "We don't kill the torrone! Industrial makers use no egg whites and they crank out a batch in an hour. They beat the mixture fast and use lots of pressure. Ours takes seven hours. We break for lunch! And we also use egg whites. All of this makes our texture crumbly, not hard and tough. Here, take a bite, you can taste."
First off, I love the fact that he mentions lunch. More importantly, he's dead true, especially when it comes to texture. Barbero torrone is gently crumbly, in a shattering, delicate way. Delicious, spiked with loads of famous Piemontese hazelnuts that are roasted in house every morning, then hand selected and folded into the nougat. In their classic Northern Italian graphic-designed tin (500 g tin illustrated), it makes a great gift. Or new this year, an 8-inch long bar, enrobed in chocolate, makes a great stocking stuffer.
The 500 gram tin's nougat is covered in thin, edible rice paper.
New foods, discounts, love letters.
If you are not pleased with any aspect of your order, please let us know.
We'll quickly replace it or refund your hard earned cash.
And you never, ever have to return anything.

Wild defenseman Dumba tries to follow Brodin's leadby Tal Pinchevsky
TORONTO -- The Minnesota Wild were thrilled that 2011 first-round pick Jonas Brodin emerged as a defensive workhorse last season. They'd like 2012 first-round pick Mathew Dumba to do the same this fall.
"I hope I get the same [opportunity]," Dumba told NHL.com at this week's NHL Players Association Rookie Showcase. "Just go in there with my hard work and determination and earn that. Hopefully I can do the great things he did. He had an awesome season.
"We're really good friends. He's a great guy and he deserves that. It was pretty cool seeing him make the transition so smooth. When he's out there, it almost looks effortless. He's an awesome guy."
Brodin, a Swede who was the 10th player drafted in 2011, averaged 23:12 of ice time, playing mostly with Norris Trophy finalist Ryan Suter. But things didn't go quite as smoothly for Dumba after he was the seventh player taken in the draft a year later.
In December, Dumba was one of the final cuts made by the Canada national junior team, marking the second straight year he would not fulfill one of his childhood dreams of competing in the World Junior Championship. Dumba did make the Wild's opening-night roster out of training camp but did not dress for any games before being returned to Red Deer of the Western Hockey League. Despite missing several games in January, Dumba tied for 18th in scoring among WHL defensemen.
The 19-year-old has another chance to make this year's Canada team for the World Junior, but his primary goal is playing with the Wild alongside his friend. That mission will start when training camp opens in September.
"They said, 'Just come into camp and be ready. Be ready for everything,'" Dumba said. "There are going to be mistakes. You need to learn to battle through that and just be sharp. That continued improvement is one of the things that will really push me to the next level and maybe help me stay."
Staying with the Wild would make it easier to continue his close friendship with Brodin. Minnesota's top two defensive prospects met last year at development camp. They were roommates at orientation and became fast friends. Though they spent most of the season hundreds of miles away, the two were able to keep in touch with the occasional phone call or text message.
"We're buddies now. He teaches me some Swedish here and there. I only know normal greetings and chirps," Dumba said. "We didn't really talk too much about hockey. We would talk about music. He's big into his house music. He loves that stuff. I know what's going on in the hip-hop and rap side of things."
Dumba said he and Brodin can find harmony together on the ice. He's looking to get started with a Brodin-like rookie season in 2013-14.
"I hope that I can do that. Just like Jonas did," Dumba said. "You kind of see it and hope maybe one day that can be a possibility. But we're a long ways from that. [There's] still a lot of hard work between then and now."

I am not a food blogger and I most certainly do not know how to take special photos for this but here goes! My BFF wanted to know all about making freezer jam and I told her it couldn't be easier, it can't - really! Seeing she is 3000 miles away this is a good way to show her. You need sugar, fruit-pectin, jars and fruit. The directions are on the pectin package. I am fortunate to have a strawberry farm a half of a mile from my house so off I went to pick fresh strawberries.
First you wash the strawberries and remove the stems.
Then you mix the sugar and pectin.
Then Mash the strawberries into a pulp as fine or lumpy as you like.
Measure out the mashed strawberries (I am also not a tidy cook!)
and put them into the sugar/pectin mix, stir for 3 minutes
and ladle into jars!
That's it! Let set 30 minutes and enjoy (as the fruit pectin package says). The freezer part is if you don't use up all of the the jam within 3 weeks you must freeze it.

Originally described as 'Dark Fruit Cider', this ciders branding was inspired by the film Donnie Darko. Obviously we took the leap from "Dark" to "Darko" and happened to come across the amazing creepiness of the bunny from the movie and set this label in motion. The name is a pull from one of our favorite lines from the movie…when Donnie asks, "Why are you wearing that stupid bunny suit?" To which Frank replies, "Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?" This cider joins our series of ciders that we have been producing using all sorts of different fruits. This is really the first one that we tried combinations of fruit, such as raspberry, black currant and cherry to make its own unique and complex flavor that is sure to set it above the rest. Availability - April - June Appearance - Ruby red, bright & clear with a slightly fizzy, off-white head that lingers on the rim. Aroma - Sweet & bold, ripe berries complimented by crisp, tart apples. Experience - Crisp apple and cherry forward. The sides of the tongue garner the tartness of dry apple and unripened berries while a mild sweetness rounds and balances. Medium body with a dry, refreshing finish. Type: Cider Alcohol: 5.5%

Preds acquire Nick Tarnasky from Tampa BayNHL.com @NHLdotcom
Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has acquired forward Nick Tarnasky from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for a conditional selection in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. The pick sent to the Lightning is Nashville's sixth-round choice, unless Tarnasky plays more than 55 NHL games in 2008-09, in which case it turns into a fifth-round selection.
Tarnasky, 23 (11/24/84), has played 169 National Hockey League games with the Lightning since 2005-06, amassing 20 points (11g-9a) and 162 penalty minutes. He attained career highs in games played (80), goals (6) and points (10) in 2007-08, in addition to tying a career best for assists (4). A native of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, the 6-2, 224-pound center also played six playoff games for Tampa Bay in 2007.

Two parents face first-degree murder charges in the death of their 15-year-old son.
Police found the dead teenager at a home on the 100 block of Citadel Drive N.W. in May 2013. Tests later confirmed the boy died from complications linked to neglect and starvation, due to his Type 1 diabetes.
The victim had been diagnosed with diabetes several years earlier, before the family moved from British Columbia to Alberta.
Police allege the teen's parents failed to provide him with necessary treatment.
The young man's health declined to the extent that he was confined to his room and subsequently died.
He was home schooled and did not have a family doctor in Alberta.
The parents' motive for not providing treatment is unknown, but police do not believe it was based on religious beliefs.
The parents were arrested Tuesday but their names will not be released until they have seen a justice of the peace have been formally charged, likely later today.

Everything has changed because of the Internet. Schools are going wireless, using interactive whiteboards, flipping the classroom, putting in 1:1 solutions — some are even BYOD (Bringing Your Own Device). I see exciting technology yet rarely see innovative teaching and learning. I don't mean to be harsh here, but I read Med Karbach's What Does It Take to be a 21st Century Teacher? and thought I need to write something. It's all about a culture shift. It's not just the technology. It's a mindset.
There are lots of great teachers that don't use technology. They motivate their students. Students are engaged and love being in their class. Karbach included this image:
This image says it all to me. It is all about each learner and their own learning potential. Do we tap into it? Teachers mostly teach the way they have been taught. To move to a more collaborative learning environment involves all stakeholders. One teacher in a school can move desks around, have students create learning plans, but this is a whole culture shift that needs to happen.
I am invited to facilitate change at schools all over. Observing teachers, I notice a desperation. They tell me that they want to make a difference; they want to use the technology; but…
Here's the buts:
- I have to cover the curriculum.
- There is such a diverse group in my class.
- It is so much work to design projects for all my students.
- Group work is a pain to set up and assess how each student is learning.
- I'm told to differentiate all my lessons which now takes even longer.
- My class size was increased by 10 more children.
- I am so tired each night grading papers, there's no time left for me.
- I am spending more time creating video lectures to flip everything.
- paperwork, paperwork, paperwork.
- The parents are so demanding that I have to put up homework every night.
Do any of these concerns sound like you and your situation?
I have an idea. Let's flip learning. Your students have been 21st century learners most of their lives. They know how to use all of the technology. If they don't, they figure it out. Why not make them more responsible for their learning? What if…
- your students create the videos about the content to flip the classroom. Check out Mathtrain.tv where Eric Marcos realized that students learn best from other students.
- involve your students in lesson design. Be partners in unpacking the standards and designing activities. Children today are very resilient and smart if we give them the chance. Check out this post from Kathleen McClaskey and myself on Personal Learner Profiles and the Common Core.
- Ask your students to brainstorm and prioritize questions about the topic. This post on Making Just One Change where I interviewed Sara Armstrong helped me understand the importance of inquiry. Michael Wesch encourages his university students to wonder. Dave Truss shared the opening of their new school The Inquiry Hub where students "learn without boundaries."
- Imagine your students building lessons with you as partners in learning.
Maybe it's a matter of letting go and trusting that your students can learn — want to learn. I have a difficult time sitting in a lecture hall myself. When I go to a conference and listen to a great lecture, I learn. But I learn more when I am more involved in the learning process. Sharing. Curating. Discussing. Even arguing a point.
- partner in learning with their students.
- facilitator who guides the learning process.
- an advocate for each learner who has strengths and weaknesses, passions, interests, and aspirations to be whatever they can be.
- person who realizes they can never know everything so learns to unlearn and learn again.
How about some innovative strategies for professional development? Like having students teach teachers how to use the technology. Maybe include students in professional development so you hear their point of view. If this is a culture shift, can one teacher do this alone? I still believe it takes a village idea. We need to involve all stakeholders including the parents. But if you want to make a difference now.. start involving your students — one lesson at a time. Let's see what happens and share back. Let me know.
