Eberhard Weber: Stages Of A Long Journey (ECM 1920)
May 31, 2014 May 31, 2014 | Tyran Grillo
Stages Of A Long Journey
Gary Burton vibraphone
Jan Garbarek soprano and tenor saxophones
Rainer Brüninghaus piano
Eberhard Weber bass
Marilyn Mazur percussion
SWR Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra
Roland Kluttig conductor
Recorded in concert, March 23/24, 2005, Theaterhaus Stuttgart
Engineer: Michael Sandner
Concert produced by Martin Mühleis
Stages Of A Long Journey documents the best moments of two March 2005 concerts in Stuttgart celebrating the 65th birthday of Eberhard Weber. The bassist has, of course, been a mainstay at ECM, where his comparable talents as composer and arranger have found room to flourish since his breakthrough "Colours" discs of the seventies. This is his first live record for the label he calls home.
The album's roster represents decades of inter- and intra-musical friendship, and dots a compass of profound collaboration. Saxophonist Jan Garbarek, in whose self-named group Weber has performed alongside many of the other featured musicians, returns the favor by casting his nets back to tunes in which he was never originally involved. The elliptical nature of it all brews fresh ideas and colorations, especially in the duo track "Seven Movements," in which Garbarek's soprano rides the ember-glow of Weber's arpeggios like a bird on the wing.
Another evocative duo comes in the form of "Yesterdays." The 1930s show tune pairs Weber with surprise guest (and oldest ally of them all) Wolfgang Dauner, he of the elusive Output, at the keys. In this conversation, one encounters the joy with which the bassist emotes. This makes it the most nostalgic portion of the program, which is perhaps why Weber foregoes his trusty electrobass and, in a rare turn, goes unplugged for a spell on the standard upright.
Another wizard of the keyboard, Rainer Brüninghaus, is a necessary presence for such a performance. Having contributed atmospheric details to so many of Weber's tapestries, he lifts the classic "The Colours of Chloë"—which opens the five-part Birthday Suite—to new heights. The combination of bass and piano here reaches across and beyond the ensemble's stretched canvas. Brüninghaus furthers the suite with his original "Piano transition," as does percussionist Marilyn Mazur in her "Percussion transition," both satellites orbiting Weber's dreamlike "Maurizius" in telepathic gravitation. Moreover, Vibraphonist Gary Burton makes his mark on "Yellow Fields," the suite's final offering. Here, too, is where the final pieces of the puzzle work most intuitively, as the 90-piece Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Roland Kluttig, transitions across newly fertilized surroundings with its unassuming blend.
Because there has always been something of an orchestral heart beating in Weber's music, one should not put too much stock into its actualization herein. This is duly apparent in "Silent Feet." As the album's opener, it is as likely an introduction as any for those hearing these pieces for the first time, but on its waves bobs the unblemished torch of interpretation that Weber has carried all these years, reaching full conflagration in a new take on Carla Bley's "Syndrome." This pet tune takes listeners into exciting directions as Weber navigates a shifting mosaic—sometimes in triplicate, sometimes duplicate—with controlled heat.Percussionist Reto Weber and beatboxing phenomenon Nino G join in the fun for "Hang Around" (a wordplay on Reto's hang drum), much to the audience's obvious delight. It is a playful interlude, but an equally conducive facet of the bassist's prism, as is "The Last Stage Of A Long Journey," a veritable origami figure of wind, land, and, above all, light.
Eberhard Weber's music is a process of translation. Through it all, his bass is a visceral, thrumming magnet that seems to emerge from the very earth even while burrowing into it. His musical language is interlocking yet contrapuntal. Like an open book, its pages contain infinite wisdom but come together at the spine. All the more appropriate that Weber should end solo with "Air." A summation but also a beginning, it is a badge of honor as only he can wear it.

Home Crime and Punishment It Should Have Been a Defensive Gun Use: Los Angeles Edition
It Should Have Been a Defensive Gun Use: Los Angeles Edition
Johannes Paulsen
The Los Angeles Times reports that a woman was murdered in Los Angeles Sunday night when a man walked up behind her, aimed a shotgun at her head, and pulled the trigger, leaving police scrambling to find a motive. "Carrie Jean Melvin and her boyfriend were walking through their Hollywood neighborhood on their way to get some food when someone walked up behind them, aimed a shotgun at her head and pulled the trigger." . . .
The gunman jumped into a black sedan and drove off. Melvin died at the scene.
On Monday, the motive for the brazen attack the night before remained as mysterious as the gunman. An LAPD homicide detective said investigators were still trying to determine why Melvin, 30, was shot and not other people who were on the street at the time. Her boyfriend was unharmed, police said….
Skaggs said investigators believe the shooting was an isolated incident because the circumstances didn't match any recent crimes. But he acknowledged it was "alarming because of the nature of the violence."
The initial information indicated the gunman acted alone, Skaggs said. He was described as a black man in his mid-20s, about 6 feet tall, wearing dark clothes, including a dark hooded jacket
California has a patchwork of laws concerning armed self-defense. The city of Los Angeles takes a rather dim view of the subject:
The issuance of licenses enabling a private citizen to carry a concealed weapon (CCW)
is of great concern to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The Department's
overriding policy is that no concealed weapon license should be granted merely for the
personal convenience of the applicant. No position or job classification in itself shall
constitute good cause for the issuance, or for the denial, of a CCW license. Each
application shall be individually reviewed for cause, and the applicant will be notified by
writing within 90 days of the application, or within 30 days after receipt of the applicant's
criminal background check from the Department of Justice, that the CCW license was
either approved or denied.
The Los Angeles County's Sheriff's Department didn't want a mere citizen like Ms. Melvin to have the right to carry a firearm for her "personal convenience." They appear to have accomplished their mission in that respect.
Of course, merely having a weapon wouldn't have guaranteed Ms. Melvin's safety in and of itself. A bit of training is always a must, and a dose of situational awareness might have helped, too. And from the reports of the incident, it's quite possible she never stood a chance.
But it is unconscionable that in 21st-century America, government officials in California take it upon themselves to deny this fundamental civil right, regardless of the fact that it gives carte blanche to thugs and criminals like the one who murdered Ms. Melvin. We can talk about all of that once people actually have the right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed them in the constitution — a right denied the citizenry in Los Angeles.
So what has the Sheriff's Department been up to? Well, it turns out that Monday was the 22nd Annual Gun Destruction!
On Monday, July 6, 2015, Sheriff Jim McDonnell announced the destruction of approximately 3,400 weapons confiscated within in Los Angeles County. This action comes typically in July, in compliance with California Penal Code 18005(c), which calls for weapons unable to be sold to the public or returned to their owners, to be destroyed….
"Gerdau and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department both aim to support a healthy and safe community," said Mark Olson, Vice President and General Manager of the Gerdau Steel Mill in Rancho Cucamonga. "This activity transforms weapons that were intended or used to inflict harm into a product that improves our landscape and economy in Southern California."
Disgraceful. Shameful. Disgusting. Cowardly.

It amazes me how those firearms will be melted down and turned into some form of "modern art" and it will make people feel safe and warm and fuzzy and secure and and and…that same metal was once in a different shape, and was reigning terror and fear upon the people. Not sure I understand that type of thinking.

Just like when Missy Michele decided to terminate Boko Haram by taking selfies with some other whiners holding signs stating, "Bring our girls back !" That was a truly brave and bold statement of solidarity that was proportionally effective. Feeling warm, feeling good, making sympathetic statements sums up the entirety of the moral resources possessed by Missy Michele and her girl friends.
JWM July 7, 2015 At 13:11
The guy with her either whacked her or had it done. Robert Blake style. Why did shotgun target just her and not the eyewitness right next to her? No robbery attempt and the catch all discription, black guy in a hoodie. Like the woman that drowned her own kids. Scary black man did it, Not.
Rokurota July 7, 2015 At 13:31
Why not random? We're in a new age of insanity. Unhinged people do inscrutable stuff. I wish every evil action had a clean motive, but sometimes it's just the crazies. We don't like random acts of violence (like the shooting in SF or the Beltway snipings) because it means we're never 100% safe. But isn't that what we've been preaching?
JR_in_NC July 7, 2015 At 14:06
I have no way of knowing, but that was close to my first guess as well. IF the situation occurred as described, my first thought was "initiation" or something similar.
Just guessing. I'm no expert. These random killings tend to work out to be some close family member, husband, father, mother, etc. At least in my following of the news.
It well could have been a gang thing or totally random madman. But don't be surprised if in a week the boy friend is charged in her murder.
Ralph July 7, 2015 At 13:13
A hit? A gang initiation? A hate crime? Sunday?
Looks like another perfect day; I love LA.
Bob July 7, 2015 At 13:51
My guess would be a gang initiation or a way to prove himself to his gang, or simply to prove his "manhood" as he sees it to his peers. Clearly he's a nut job. Most likely a psychopath.
I doubt there is any connection between this very nice woman and this piece of feces.
Ah…I should have read down just a few more lines!
Yep; something in that ballpark was my first thought for "motive" as well.
In4apennyIn4apound July 7, 2015 At 14:45
"Clearly he's a nut job. Most likely a psychopath."
Quit playing to the mental health angle, which is just about control and accept evil exists. The anti-gun statists are playing from the Art of War, which is for the long haul war, not short little battles they let us win, which are Pyrrhic to the Constitution.
He is just an evil little government raised savage doing what they were bred to do. The scary thing is that if the victim would have defended themselves from the protected class member, the victims lives would still be over, only the state would be seeking to cause the victims harm, now.
Benny the Jew July 7, 2015 At 15:48
I agree. I know murderes seem nuts compared to you and me, but is it a real mental disorder? It could be that some people are just evil, no "crazy" to it. I wonder if there's a predisposition to it for some people, as in are some people just born bad, or at least veer that way more naturally than others.
Either way, I'm with you; maybe a few really are crazy, but most are just human waste.
@BennytheJew–"I wonder if there's a predisposition to it for some people, as in are some people just born bad, or at least veer that way more naturally than others."
Brother, I can't believe in my soul or mind that your premise is correct that people are born evil. The battle for good an evil is waged in a man's heart not his genetics, since it is called free will to choose your path. Nature vs. Nurture is outdated because all humans are a sum of their experiences relating to self-control in an uncontrollable world.
fishydude July 7, 2015 At 13:15
Random? Sounds more like targeted. Even if the victim was chosen at random like a gang initiation, it was still a very precise action taken.
And if the victim was white, that implies something else too.

The second amendment is not a priority with California voters. Civil rights for firearms, civil rights to self defense, knife civil rights. These are not on the list of civil rights in California.
However having a civil right to be in California illegally from another country and shooting a daughter in the head next to her father seems ok in San Francisco.
Stan July 7, 2015 At 13:46
Unfortunately, you are 100% correct.

Thinking about the may issue situations many people find themselves subject to, it is wrong to place the burden of proof upon the citizen to demonstrate need, the burden of proof should be on the state to demonstrate the need to restrict the exercise of RKBA.
DKW July 7, 2015 At 13:45
I don't understand some of these "It Should Have Been a Defensive Gun Use" articles.
1. Was the person shot or her companion a gun owner? Yes or No.
2. Did they express a desire in the past to carry a gun for protection? Yes or No.
3. Were they actually denied from carrying a gun? Yes or No.
4. Was there anybody around then that could have met items 2 or 3? Yes or no.
Unless all of these answers were yes, this is not a "It should have been a defensive gun use" article. Even if you can answer a YES to all of these, the person who did this came up from behind and shot with no warning to anybody (yes, you can talk about situational awareness, but that only goes so far).
This is a tragic story but does not rise to the level of the title.
Tommycat July 7, 2015 At 14:00
Thank you, That's what i was thinking… Maybe it could have ended with the boyfriend shooting the bad guy, but the result is that the woman would still be dead from a shotgun to the head.
SteveInCO July 7, 2015 At 15:05
And, if the perp indeed did just turn tail and run after discharging his one shell, the boyfirend would be in jail for shooting someone in the back (i.e., not a defensive use).
It seems you are missing the much bigger point of the "It Should Have Been a Defensive Gun Use" series…or at the very least, this PARTICULAR example.
This article is about the systematic denial of all gun rights in a practical sense in the Peoples Republic of California. That her choice, or even that she HAS such a choice, is taken away before the conversation begins, is a moral crime.
100% disagree.
Even though this happened in CA, if this same thing happened in TX, or GA (where I live), or any other Gun friendly state, I would say the same thing. Unless she or her companion were known to have been gun owners or wanted a carry permit, then I you could argue that.
Hell, you could argue all gun crimes in which the victim didn't have a gun could be "It should have been a defensive gun use" article. Some people just don't want to own or carry a gun, that is their choice.
"Unless she or her companion were known to have been gun owners or wanted a carry permit, then I you could argue that."
—–> Point
Sorry, man, but you are looking at the term DGU too narrowly. This is not about pulling a gun and stopping one particular incident..in any jurisdiction.
It's about the cultural system (be it via laws or peer pressure) that exists that takes away the choice to even have a chance to defend oneself.
Sorry you are not getting that.
MarkPA July 7, 2015 At 15:25
I understand your line of reasoning; however, I don't agree with your conclusion.
In many situations described along the lines of this case the victim would probably have been shot and killed. Even with good situational awareness, we are all still vulnerable. Nevertheless, the perp didn't have a Constitutional right to a cake-walk. He might have been stopped before he could have made his escape. Once a gun carrier hears a pound bang sound, sees an apparent victim lying in the street and a man with a gun running away it's pretty clear that there is a problem. There is probable cause to believe the person running might be a threat to others; sufficient to justify a citizen's arrest. At that point, the person running away with a gun might raise that gun to resist the arrest; whereupon, there is a pretext for self-defense.
A self-defense shot might not stop the escape; however, there is a reasonable likelihood that it would leave a wound requiring medical attention. Thereupon, the police could connect the dots.
Bearing all the foregoing possibilities in mind, some perps wouldn't commit the crime with a reasonable likelihood of getting caught after killing their victims. Others would, of course, and if stopped or seriously wounded, would be caught.
There is no easy escape by saying that no one in the vicinity of the crime had applied for a permit if the jurisdiction was Won't-Issue. Such an argument is reasonable only if-and-when Shall-Issue has been in effect for a considerable period of time such that carry has become commonplace.
John L. July 7, 2015 At 13:45
"California Penal Code 18005(c), which calls for weapons unable to be sold to the public or returned to their owners, to be destroyed…."
I wonder how much effort is made to sell those firearms. Certainly in the time I lived in CA, I never heard of a police or sheriff department auction of seized weapons.
Mark N. July 7, 2015 At 14:39
I guess you didn't get the memo. There are no such things as guns that can be "sold to the public". That's why they have buy backs–citizens should not have guns. The prior Sheriff (or at least the undersheriff responsible for issuing CCWs, maybe both) testified in a deposition that "more guns on the street means more crime." And since the Sheriff has a public policy mandate to reduce crime, it is necessary to limit or reduce the number of guns on the street–so no CCW for you. Mr. and Mrs. America, turn in your guns. You are only going to get hurt if you don't. [As an aside, no one in the Sheriff's Office–or in the LAPD for that mater–could point to any study that supported their conclusion.]
VTPATRIOT July 7, 2015 At 13:49
"….scrambling to find a motive."? Really, now. Why does it matter? Pure evil.
gsnyder July 7, 2015 At 13:57
Denying lawful citizens their Constitutional Right of self-defense only serves the criminal. Sad to hear and authorities should be ashamed.

It's to bad that these psychotic idiots that do these things aren't targeting the bureaucrats instead of the populace, probably things would move a little faster on the apprehension front if the police chiefs were under the gun, so to speak………
iCONOCLAST July 7, 2015 At 14:08
The author sounds as alarmingly disingenuous as most anti gun writers.
Tell me how a gun license is going to keep anybody from being stalked and shot in the back of the head?
I mean come on, really?
If that's all you got out of the article (which apparently you did not read past the headline and stinger paragraph), it says much more about you than it does about the author's message.
Sure buddy, if you say so.
Former Water Walker July 7, 2015 At 14:09
Damn…I don't know how it could be a DGU. It sounds like a lethal "knockout game"-yeah we live in an evil world. It could totally be random-like that poor white woman in SF murdered by an illegal alien criminal…
"Damn…I don't know how it could be a DGU."
Think bigger picture than THIS victim drawing and firing on THIS assailant.
There are many types of DGU's and many ways guns provide bona fide defense.
If CA was not the cesspool of "anti-rights" that it is, and if MORE PEOPLE in CA carried (both openly and concealed), there is at least a greater probability that this particular a-hole and folks like him would be stopped.
The article was about denial of basic human rights, not whether or not this lady could have fought off this attacker.
The woman in NJ waiting for her permit was a "should have been a DGU", this situation is a long reach, at best.
MY bigger picture is she had her head blown off in a surprise random attack-but thanks for the finger wag. Yes-peoples rights are denied in Commiefornia-and they are denied by people voting them in. Like in Illinois where I live. Do you even have a point JR? Most "points from TTAG" have a lot to do with readership/comments/clickbait-and I do my part in clicking…
Hey fella, if the author thinks his thoughts are to be defended, let him defend them.
You going around flaming everybody that disagrees with his premise is annoying, at best.
The article may have been trying to talk about the denial of basic human rights, but had those rights not, in fact, been denied, it would have made no difference.
If one wants to talk about the harm that denial of rights causes, one needs to pick an example where it would have made a difference had the rights not been denied.
The larger point is valid, but this incident doesn't actually lend support to it. And that's why people are complaining about the article, it's logically fallacious even if it comes to the right conclusion.
Mark Chamberlain July 7, 2015 At 14:28
I think I would be looking at a possible hired hit job on this one to include looking closely at the boyfriend as the one doing the hiring and then work through all her other known associates looking for a motive. After exhausting those possibilities, then I would be looking at a possible gang initiation killing.
doesky2 July 7, 2015 At 14:57
Cue the race hustlers……
….oops…never mind….wrong color pattern.
"Of course, merely having a weapon wouldn't have guaranteed Ms. Melvin's safety in and of itself."
Being denied the option for the best tool for self defense was the only guarantee that left Ms. Melvin's safety at the will of an evil man intent upon harm.
"A bit of training is always a must, and a dose of situational awareness might have helped, too. And from the reports of the incident, it's quite possible she never stood a chance."
"This lady was obviously a liberal who didn't get to survive her conversion to becoming a conservative, which is usually the process that is followed by such an encounter. Situational Awareness is a must and if she would have applied being observant she may still be alive. Who in their right mind in these current times, besides a liberal or another black person, especially in a large city allows a young black male to walk up behind them in the dark of night and assumes he is there to help you. Profiling is only wrong if you are a government employee.

My thoughts are either a "gang initiation" by killing some random person or a targeted hit based on the victim's family or associates.
Russ Bixby July 7, 2015 At 17:12
Former LAPD chief Gates got into some hot water for saying the following, but stuck to his guns, as 'twere:
"As to concealed weapons, while I cant tell you to carry them, we [the LAPD] would much rather that we caught you with them than that a bad guy caught you without them."
Pretty strong words, methinks.
george from fort worth July 7, 2015 At 17:56
if i were a gang member, i would relish the ability to deny guns to rival gangs. law enforcement is no different from a gang….except that shiny badge thing. and we are the rival gang(s).
Gregolas July 7, 2015 At 19:05
It should have been avoided. This was failure of personal security. Hit or not, this woman was in "Condition White" to let a man with a shotgun get that close unawares. A man epwith a long arm should be easily detectable under the most rudimentary observation.

Pres. Duterte to trap Cayetano today? Alan Peter still has way out
Evidence suggests that President Rodrigo Duterte may have put Speaker Cayetano on the horns of a dilemma, between Scylla and Charybdis, between the devil and the deep blue sea, between a rock and a hard place.
But before we go any further, let me state that the special sessions that President Duterte ordered [0] should be enough to pass the 2021 National Budget in the House of Representatives. That is, the nation's primary concern, a COVID-19 budget, should not be a problem anymore, thanks to PRRD's intervention.
With that said, we can now discuss the secondary issue, the ongoing speakership war.
Duterte's precarious hold on power and the future of the Liberal Party
Being a Philippine President is like being the driver of the car called "the Philippine Government." Winning in 2016 is Duterte driver's license, but a license is not enough.
Duterte also needs (1) fuel for the engines, and (2) lubricants to keep the car's parts from breaking down. He fuels the car with tax revenues then he lubricates its parts using political power so that other politicians – the car parts – follow his lead.
To be an effective president, Duterte needs a constant supply of funds (mostly via tax money) and political power (political influence). Unfortunately, the President is currently having difficulty securing both.
First, COVID-induced economic contractions mean lower tax collections.
But lower revenues have a pretty straightforward solution: austerity measures coupled with loans until the economy gets back on its feet. Diminished influence, however, is much more complicated.
Second, some of the President's supposedly staunchest allies are undermining his political influence.
Recent events indicate an attempt to decimate much of Duterte's political power (the "government lubricant") that will render him unable to make the government car run the way he wants.
For this nation's sake, I do not want that. I need to protect this President until his term ends in June 2022.

Cosy Kent pubs
Sarah Sturt
Owner Sam Allen at The Halfway House
Manu Palomeque 07977074797
One of the joys of winter in Kent is the choice of traditional pubs where you are guaranteed to find not only a warm welcome but a blazing log fire and local ales. Here are five of our favourites to cosy up in
The George & Dragon
24 Fisher Street, Sandwich, Kent, CT13 9EJ
www.georgeanddragon-sandwich.co.uk
"The heart of our pub is very olde-worlde, which you would expect from a place that can trace its beginnings back to 1446," says current owner Matthew Philpott. Although it already possessed a pub licence, in 1615 Francis Scoones, who owned this property, registered the house under the name of George and Dragon.
"The George and Dragon has undergone many changes since it was built, but from the day it was first licensed over four centuries ago, the house has never closed once," says Matthew.
Matthew and his brother Mark took over the pub in May 2008 after returning to the town in which they were brought up.
Mark, the chef, started his career by studying catering at Thanet College for three years, after which he moved on to London and gained experience at several kitchens, including the Georgian Kitchen at Harrods, Leith's and Adam Street.
Matthew, after working in London for a few years, moved to Surrey where he became the manager of the Brickmakers Pub in Windlesham for three years.
"Together, our aim has been to create a traditional pub that offers great food. We don't have jukeboxes or TVs and rely instead on our customers to create our wonderful atmosphere."
Like many 'traditional' pubs, the George & Dragon is also big on real ale.
"Very recently we were honoured with the award of becoming a Cask Marque-accredited pub," explains Matthew.
Cask Marque ale, for those who are unaware, is an independent accreditation scheme that recognises excellence in the service of cask ale.
"This award enables us to display the Cask Marque Logo on our premises," says Matthew. "It's a testament to how seriously we take this part of the business. So why not come down and try what we have and enjoy a drink in our wonderful, traditional pub?"

"The Bull at Benenden is located in the heart of the village. The pub is the perfect place to enjoy real ales, local cider, fine wines and good traditional food in a fantastic atmosphere with friendly service and company!" says owner Lucy Barron-Reid.
Dating back to 1608, the Bull is full of fascinating architectural features such Chinoiserie windows, inglenook fireplaces, carved beams and lots of nooks and crannies.
"We have furnished it with antique tables and chairs, cosy rugs and cushions, low lighting, candles and antique portraits (which I like to pretend are of relatives of ours!). The whole aim is to create the perfect atmosphere, transporting you back to the early 17th century," says Lucy.
The Bull offers an array of real ales, several drawn from the local area, and boasts a menu that provides everything you would want from a traditional English pub (including a well-regarded Sunday carvery).
"We are also only a short drive from some of the most beautiful castles, stately homes and gardens in the Weald, such as Bodiam Castle, Sissinghurst Castle and Great Dixter. The Bull is the perfect place to stop off for a quick drink, some light lunch or maybe something more substantial" says Lucy.
Ye Olde Yew Tree Inn
32 Westbere Lane, Westbere, Canterbury CT2 0HH
www.yewtreewestbere.co.uk
Ye Olde Yew Tree Inn in Westbere has a long and colourful history. The inn was built in 1348 and is believed to be the oldest pub in Kent. Queen Anne and the Archbishop of Canterbury are reputed to have stayed here, and (as is the case with almost every old pub) Dick Turpin apparently evaded the long arm of the law by choosing it as a hiding place.
Inside, the Ye Olde Yew Tree boasts everything you would expect from Kent's oldest pub.
"The interior is heavily beamed and the pub has a wonderful, large inglenook fireplace. When you walk in its like stepping back in time," says owner Anna Svensson.
Although the pub possesses a regular local clientele, it also attracts plenty of return custom from outside the area, drawn by its appealing atmosphere. "There are no TVs here, jukeboxes or noisy games. Our customers create our atmosphere which time and again is described as very welcoming," says Anna.
The inn offers a good range of real ales, again with a local flavour, plus a great seasonal menu, which provides high quality traditional pub food.
"We see ourselves as a refuge from the world, a place where people can come and recharge their batteries in a welcoming and friendly environment. It's a great place to relax."
Horsmonden Rd, Brenchley, TN12 7AX
www.halfwayhousebrenchley.co.uk
"We define ourselves as a family run pub that makes you feel like part of the family" says owner, Sam Allen.
Located in Brenchley, the Halfway House is a pub that takes real ales very seriously.
"We have between seven and ten different beers available every day, many drawn from the local area. So broad is our range and so committed are we to real ales, that we have been recognised by the CAMRA for our efforts," says Sam.
Twice per year, the Halfway House hosts a bank holiday beer festival featuring between 50 and 75 different real ales!
"We try to concentrate on local beers but often include some of the national favourites such as Hop Back Summer Lightning and Timothy Taylor's Landlord," says Sam.
Inside the Halfway House has a very traditional feel and like many similar pubs does what it can to create a welcoming atmosphere.
"We have no jukebox, no fruit machine and no television. Our atmosphere is very friendly and is something that our customers value," thinks Sam.
The Halfway House also offers a great selection of home-made food using locally sourced produce.
"Pop in on a winter weekend for a delicious Sunday roast in front of our log fire or come on a sunny summer afternoon and enjoy our beer battered cod and hand-cut chips in the spacious family garden. Whatever the occasion we are sure there is something for you."
The Phoenix Tavern
Abbey Street, Faversham ME13 7BH
www.thephoenixtavernfaversham.co.uk
"Our aim at The Phoenix is simple, to provide a comfortable environment in which you can enjoy quality at sensible prices. It's in the tradition of a true British pub; first class drinking and dining, good service and a warm welcome," says owner David Selves.
The Phoenix Tavern provides a wide array of real ales including, Youngs, Harveys, Badgers, Gadds, Old Diary, Moorhouse, Ringwood, Greene King, Hopback, Wells, Sharps, Everards and Otter.
"We are also" says David "the founders and the home of the Timothy Taylor Appreciation Society (TTAS.) We hold regular meetings of the TTAS and an annual International Gathering."
The pub also plays host to the Real Ale Advisory Board, which meets at 7pm on the second Monday of every month and is made up of an experienced collective of ale drinkers.
"Members take it in turn to bring bottled beers from brewers - as obscure as possible - which are sampled and marked out ten. We always welcome new members!" says David.
Internally, the Phoenix has a more 'polished' modern feel than the other pubs featured here. And yet, despite this, the place still feels rooted in the tradition of the 'great British pub', something assisted by the absence of the noisy trappings of modern pub-dom.
Along with the broad array of real ales, the pub also offers great food too. "Our chefs prepare food in our kitchen every day with care and skill using as many local ingredients as possible. Our whole team are dedicated to making your visit special. We look forward to seeing you soon."

Abitare Events Twice MAMbo
Twice MAMbo
Pietro Pedercini
Showing the Bologna's Contemporary Art Museum exhibitions
Showcasing the first solo exhibition of Sarah Morris in an Italian museum, China 9, Liberty 37, & welcoming the international première of her new film: Beijing.
Starting from the mid 1990s, Morris became famous due to paintings and films characterised by an abstract and complex structural approach. The artist creates paintings and films in which she traces urban and social topologies. The urban environments, the architectural motifs, the symbols, the places and the representations of the power are the subject of a close investigation, according to an alternation of fiction and reality. She explores both the psychology of the contemporary city and its architecturally encoded politics in order to survey how a particular moment can be inscribed and embedded into its visual surfaces. Morris assesses what today's architectural façades, urban structures, cities and nations might conceal. Often, these non-narrative fictional analyses result in studies of power, of the structures of control, of global socio-political networks.
Presenting the first solo exhibition of Seth Price in an Italian museum.
Prices's artistic research is characterised by a multidisciplinary approach, which includes painting, sculpture, photography, sounds, video, and writing. Investigating the role played by the distribution and information dissemination media in redefining the creative and intellectual practices, Price adopts and reconfigures strategies with reference to the Conceptual Art and appropriationism, which believe that the meaning of a work is given by the multiple connections and by the potential interpretations arising from the work itself, its references or the materials used.
The exhibition in MAMbo called 2009 joins together a wide selection of Calendar Paintings (2003-2004), displayed in parts at both Kölnischer Kunstverein of Cologne in 2008 and at Reena Spaulings Gallery of New York in 2009, as well as in earlier incarnations in group shows in 2004. The inkjet-on canvas works contain advertisement images, computer graphics, and reproductions of paintings made between the two World Wars by American painters less known by the general public. Each painting bears its original date of production.

L'abbaye de Chassagne est une ancienne abbaye cistercienne, fondée au  par des cisterciens de l'abbaye de Saint-Sulpice, et qui était située sur le territoire de l'actuelle commune de Crans, dans le département de l'Ain.

Toponymie et localisation
Il est courant, dans le vocable des grands défrichements médiévaux, de rappeler, dans le toponyme d'un champ, d'un village ou un monastère, la nature des arbres coupés pour l'établir. En l'occurrence,  fait référence au chêne.

L'abbaye est située dans une combe donnant vers l'ouest, à environ deux kilomètres et demi du village de Crans, sur le ruisseau dit , au sud-est du plateau des Dombes.

Histoire

Fondation
Dès 1145, il est fait mention de la grange cistercienne de Chassagne, dont le terrain a été offert aux moines de Saint-Sulpice par Étienne II de Villars, malade et qui souhaitait que les religieux prient pour lui.

Mais il était évident pour le sire de Villars que ce don appelait la construction d'une abbaye. Parti en croisade en 1147, il en revient quelques années plus tard et constate que la construction de l'abbaye n'a pas commencé. De rage, il envoie ses troupes qui brûlent grange et récoltes. La paix n'est effective entre l'abbé de Saint-Sulpice et Étienne qu'en 1158. À cette date, le sire de Villars fait amende honorable, approuvée par l'archevêque de Lyon Héraclius de Montboissier, ce qui pousse l'abbé à accomplir sa promesse. La première pierre de l'abbaye de Chassagne est posée le jour de la Toussaint 1162. Le site comprenait entre autres une forêt et un étang.

Au Moyen Âge
L'abbaye achevée, Étienne II s'y fit enterrer à sa mort en 1186. L'abbaye, cependant, ne se développe pas beaucoup, ne fondant aucune abbaye fille et ne comptant qu'un petit nombre de moines.

Aux , une importante charge échoit à l'abbaye. Le pont de la Guillotière, situé à Lyon, est alors construit en bois. Par mesure de sécurité et de durabilité, l'archevêque de Lyon, Pierre de Savoie, avait ordonné en 1308 sa construction en pierre par les religieux de l'abbaye d'Hautecombe, ainsi que la gestion de l'Hôtel-Dieu. Mais ceux-ci, pressentant l'énormité de la tâche, demandent à ceux de la Chassagne de les remplacer, ce qui est fait le . Très rapidement, les cisterciens sont ruinés par le chantier ; ils demandent à la ville de Lyon de reprendre le chantier du pont et ne conservent que l'hôpital.

La commende
Comme l'immense majorité des abbayes européennes, celle de Chassagne tombe en commende à la Renaissance. Son déclin est alors irrémédiable. Au  Frédéric Marchand écrit à ce propos :

Elle est reconstruite sous l'abbatiat d'Henri des Essarts de Mignieux, en 1677. Mais le déclin est fort avancé à cette période, l'abbaye ne comptant plus que de trois à cinq moines jusqu'en 1789. L'évêque de Belley  de Quincey souhaite en 1767-1768 la réunir à sa maison-mère de Saint-Sulpice, à des fins d'enrichissement personnel, mais ce projet n'aboutit pas.

L'abbaye après la Révolution
Les moines (alors au nombre de cinq : Antoine Sauvaire, prieur ; Clément Jacquin ; Étienne Jullien de Villeneuve ; Jacques et Anet Dupraz de Vertamy) sont chassés en , contre la promesse non tenue d'une compensation financière. Les bâtiments sont vendus comme bien national le , acquis par le sieur Montessuy de Chalamont, et très rapidement partiellement détruits. La forêt (trois cents hectares) est également saisie et vendue.

Architecture et description

Il subsiste actuellement :
 le moulin
 l'hôtellerie bâtie au
 la chapelle Sainte-Catherine (datant du ) a été transformée en habitation
 le portail de l'église est transporté à Meximieux où il est placé à l'entrée de la chapelle des pénitents ;
 une statue en bois de Marie de Magdala est apportée à l'église de Loyes.

Filiation et dépendances

Chassagne est fille de l'abbaye de Saint-Sulpice.

Police '˜errors' led to release of man with pipe bomb in luggage
A man who tried to carry a pipe bomb on to a plane in his hand luggage was initially released after 'errors' in the assessment of the device, police have said.
9th Aug 2017, 7:00am
Updated 12th Sep 2017, 11:54am
Nadeem Muhammad, who has been found guilty of possession of explosives with intent to endanger life or property after a pipe bomb was found in his hand luggage at Manchester Airport. Picture: Greater Manchester Police/PA
Nadeem Muhammad, 43, was planning to board a Ryanair flight to Italy on 30 January when security staff at Manchester Airport found the device, made of masking tape, batteries, the tube of a marker pen, pins and wires – and which contained nitro-
glycerin and nitrocellulose – in the zip lining of his small green suitcase.
Yesterday, he was found guilty at Manchester Crown Court of possession of explosives with intent to endanger life or property.
The court heard police had initially believed the bomb was not viable and, after being questioned by counter-terrorism
officers, Muhammad, who was born in Pakistan but had an Italian passport, was released.
He was able to board a flight to Italy five days later.
Superintendent Graeme Openshaw, of Greater Manchester Police's specialist operations unit, said: "Based on the overall circumstances of his stop and the information presented at the time, police officers determined that there was not sufficient evidence or suspicion to arrest the man and place restrictions on his movement.
"Following subsequent forensic examination of the device carried out by police, it was determined that it could be viable and the man was arrested at the first opportunity. We accept that there were some errors with our assessment of the device on the day and we have already reviewed our practices."
Mr Openshaw said it was unclear what damage would have been done if the bomb had been detonated once Muhammad was on board the Boeing 737.
The court heard officers had swabbed the device after it was detected when the bag went through X-ray scanners
but had found no trace of explosives.
Security manager Deborah Jeffrey put the pipe bomb in her pocket before passing it to police.
An airport spokesman said: "We are proud of the work that our teams do to ensure the safety and security of passengers. In this instance, the actions of our security team led to the detection of a suspicious device."
Muhammad, of Bury, told the court he had not seen the device before it was found in his bag and it had "nothing at all" to do with him.
Sentence was deferred.

Villanova and James Madison may have been caught looking ahead to their showdown last week, as both had to survive and win late. Take nothing away from Stony Brook and William & Mary, who gave those two teams all they could handle. The CAA title may well be on the line this week in Harrisonburg. Don't sleep on New Hampshire who has a rock solid defense after years of being thought of as nothing more than an offensive team.
BYE: William & Mary
Conference Game of the Week:
Villanova (6-0, 3-0) at James Madison (5-1, 2-0)
Where: Bridgeforth Stadium, Harrisonburg, VA
When: Saturday October 12th, 1:30 PM
TV/Streaming: MASN, FLO Sports ($$/Subscription)
Courtesy WVEC-TV
Villanova has score at least 33 points in every game they have played so far. Led by a transfer quarterback and strong running back, the Wildcats can put up points. In CAA play, the Villanova defense has allowed 45, 17 and 28 points, so there has been no shortage of scoreboard fireworks when the Wildcats hit the field. The defense will have to be better if Villanova wants to go on a long run. The longer you play, the better the defenses you see. This week they will see the best defense they have all year and arguably the best offense. Will Villanova be up to the task?
Key Player: After Tyquel Fields of Stony Brook threw for over 300 yards last week against James Madison, Daniel Smith has to be thinking he can do the same thing to the Dukes' secondary. On the season, Smith has accounted for 23 touchdowns – 17 passing and 6 rushing – and has thrown just three interceptions. Justin Covington left last week's game with an injury so more may fall on the shoulders of Smith this week.
After three straight road games, James Madison will be glad to be playing in front of its home crowd. The Dukes have been firing on all cylinders on both sides of the ball, but they ran into some obstacles last week against Stony Brook. Without Rashad Robinson, the Seawolves were able to pick apart the younger Dukes secondary. On offense, James Madison move the ball with easy, but couldn't hold on to it, losing four turnovers. The Dukes escaped with a win, but they'll have to be much better on both sides this week to remain unbeaten in the CAA.
Key Player: If the Dukes learned anything last week, its that they need CB Rashad Robinson in the lineup. The Dukes have been beaten on big pass plays quite a few times this year but it came to a head last week when Stony Brook completed just 15 passes but threw for over 300 yards. Robinson did not play last week, but the Dukes are hopeful that he will be in the lineup this weekend. The Dukes will need him in order to contain the strong Villanova offense.
Fearless Prediction: Both teams should be able to score points this weekend, but the Dukes are at home and are just a bit more talented all the way around. James Madison 34, Villanova 21
Fearless predictions for the rest of the slate
Richmond (2-3, 1-1) at Maine (2-3, 0-2) Saturday October 12th, 12:00 PM, Alfond Stadium, Orono, ME, Maine Local TV, FLO Sports ($$/Subscription)
Both of these teams come into the game 2-3 but they couldn't be much more different. Maine is clearly the better team hunting for a playoff berth while Richmond is just playing out the string. Maine 41, Richmond 24
Delaware (3-2, 1-0) at Elon (2-4, 1-2), Saturday October 12th, 2:00 PM, Rhodes Stadium, Elon, NC, Stretch Internet, FLO Sports ($$/Subscription)
Elon needs this game to have any hope of making the playoffs while Delaware still feels they have a shot at the league title. The desperate Phoenix pick up the win this week. Elon 27, Delaware 19
Albany (3-3, 1-1) at Towson (3-2, 1-1), Saturday October 12th, 4:00 PM, Johnny Unitas Stadium, Towson, MD, FLO Sports ($$/Subscription)
Albany has been much more competitive so far this year. However, they have not played a team as good as Towson. Towson 48, Albany 22
Rhode Island (1-4) at FBS Virginia Tech (3-2) Saturday October 12th, 4:00 PM, Lane Stadium, Blacksburg, VA, ACC Network, Watch ESPN (subscription req'd)
Rhode Island doesn't stand much of a chance against an FBS opponent this weekend. Virginia Tech 55, Rhode Island 13
New Hampshire (3-2, 2-0) at Stony Brook (4-2, 1-1), Saturday October 12th, 6:00 PM, LaValle Stadium, Stony Brook, NY, SNY, FLO Sports ($$/Subscription)
This figures to be a low scoring game with two solid defenses. Stony Brook has the better offense and is at home so this one favors the Seawolves. Stony Brook 17, New Hampshire 16

Home Entertainment Christina Aguilera shows off dramatic weight loss at Television Critics Association event
Christina Aguilera shows off dramatic weight loss at Television Critics Association event
Christina Aguilera silenced last year's fat-shaming critics by showcasing her 20 lbs weight loss in a pink mini-dress at a NBC press event in Beverly Hills on Saturday.
Christina Aguilera, 32, looked confident and drop-dead gorgeous in the tiny cleavage-baring frock, which slightly fanned out at the skirt.
The four-time Grammy winner paired her slim new silhouette with platinum waves, a very dark tan, and Christian Louboutin heels.
Christina Aguilera shed the weight thanks to the 1,600-calorie Fresh Diet premium meal-delivery plan, yoga, and regular sessions with trainer Tee Sorge.
"She did it all on her own," an insider told Us Weekly last month.
Christina Aguilera silenced last year's fat-shaming critics by showcasing her 20 lbs weight loss in a pink mini-dress at a NBC press event in Beverly Hills
"A lot of people were on her about her weight and it depressed her. She went through a bad time because of the criticism."
A friend of Christina Aguilera's revealed that she still "wants to lose a bit more", but "she feels great".
She joined The Voice's Adam Levine, CeeLo Green, and Carson Daly for the Television Critics Association event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Christina Aguilera addressed her absence last season, which was filled by Columbian pop star Shakira.
"Thank god for Shakira, she did a beautiful job, she has sweet, lovely energy," Christina Aguilera told reporters.
"I cannot live in front of the camera 24 hours a day. I have to take breaks and stay connected with myself…When the cameras go off, I put on sweats and a T-shirt and I'm mom. [My son Max] starts kindergarten in the fall so I'm excited about that."
Auditions are already underway for the NBC singing competition's fifth season – premiering September 23.
And The Voice producers are also reportedly pleased with Christina Aguilera's recent weight loss.
"Show execs hope her new look will spark viewers' interest in her again and get people tuning in," a show insider told Us Weekly.

This is an extremely charming and moving Oscar nominate children's movie that I want to share with everyone. Song of the Sea is based on Celtic mythology concerning mostly selkies sea creatures which live as seals in the sea but shed their fur coats to become beautiful, enchanting humans on land. The story starts with the image of domestic bliss of a loving couple, Conor and Bronach, who are expecting another child much to the excitement of their young son Ben. However, tragedy strikes and the heavily pregnant Bronach disappears into the night, never to be seen again. Fast forward a few years and it is apparent that Bronach left her daughter Saoirse upon her disappearance, as well as a massive rift in the family. Conor has been left heartbroken, Ben resents his younger sister, holding her responsible for the bitter absence of his mother, and Saoirse is still unable to speak aged six. The icing on the whole cake is Conor's mother's constant fussing and disapproval. One night Saoirse discovers a beautiful fur coat which is her exact fit and to her delight transforms her into a baby seal. However, grief-stricken Conor in his terror of also losing his daughter tosses away the fur coat into the sea. Thus the children set out on an adventure to find Saoirse's coat so that she can sing "The Song of the Sea", saving the spirit world, encountering… fairies with a great penchant for Irish folk music, The Great Seanachaí with long silver hairs each containing story, and the formidable Macha and her owls who capture the emotions of the spirit world creatures. Unfortunately Macha decimates their allies, stealing the fairies' emotions, turning them into stone, even her own son, and Saoirse's separation from the fur coat weakens her, leaving it up to the only human – Ben – to save his sister and the spirit world.
This was an extremely refreshing animation outing, completely original amongst most of its mainstream western counterparts. Song of the Sea stays true to its Celtic roots, avoiding Americanisation, generalisation, or dumbing-down to make it more "accessible" or some nonsense like that. Instead, it serves as a fascinating introduction to Scottish and Irish folklore in a way that appeals to children. I faintly remembered some legends about Selkies from primary school but not a huge amount, so I had a fond moment of excitement when I realised what the creatures were, as I hadn't heard, read or seen anything about selkies since I was around 8 years of age. The film covered other stories and features of Celtic myths, many of which I had never heard of including Mac Lir the Giant, who suffers a terrible tragedy and then weeps so much that his tears fill the oceans, causing his mother, Macha the owl witch, to capture his emotions and turn him into stone, forming a great island. These stories are frightening enough to entice and fire children's imaginations, but are also enjoyable for adults, especially those not too familiar with Celtic culture.
The movie also excels in both the soundtrack and voice cast. The film is full of charming Irish folk songs in both English and Gaelic, ranging from jovial to bittersweet melancholic ditties; why even the statue of Molly Malone has a cameo. The finale at the end is just simply beautiful music in its highest form. Brendan Gleeson is the father Conor, and it goes without saying that he a very fine actor indeed. Here, he embodies the grief of a man who has lost his beloved, and is perfect in showing the irrational anger of the Celtic mythology responsible for him experiencing such despair. Lisa Hannigan is suitably sultry as Bronach, totally convincing as a Selkie capable of bewitching a human man by just the power of her voice. David Rawle, who gives the voice of Ben, musters up an impressive performance, carrying most of the film's narrative, which is amazing from such a young actor (being only 13 at the time the film was released). He perfectly portrays the cruel sneering of older siblings (which I would know from first-hand experience whilst growing-up happens in real-life too), but then shows a believable development as he grows a brotherly love for Saoirse, who he has blamed for his missing mother for so long, showing great remorse for the cruelty he showed her when he learns the true events of the fateful night 6 years previously. One of the best aspects of this film was the honest and real portrayal of children and how mean they can be in sibling rivalry, but how they can also be full of such love and compassion.
I can't really think of any major faults with the film, it is whimsical whilst covering deep and possibly harrowing topics and issues. I would say that the only way you'd be disappointed is if you wanted a flick full of action, pop culture references and zany characters, but if you are to remove such expectations I honestly believe that this movie can be appreciated by all. Excellent animation, music and story-telling… a true gem.

Ham Radio Kit Building Is On The Rise Again!
Over at the eHamStore, statistics are showing that there is a lot of traffic steadily hitting the kit building pages. Among Ham Radio operators, kit building is definitely on the rise again! As anyone who has built a kit knows, Ham Radio kit building brings a sense of accomplishment and personal satisfaction.
Imagine purchasing a kit, cobbling the parts together and sending out a CQ! When you hear another station coming back to you, it has to be a thrill. QRP or low power (5 watts or less) is a rather amazing and sometimes challenging way to work local and DX stations. But hey, we all live for the challenge, don't we?
After building my first QRP kit (NORCAL 40) somewhere around 1985, I was hooked. One day, I brought that first kit over to a friend's house and connected it to his Cushcraft A4S with the 40 meter add-on kit. We were both laughing hard each time I got a 599+ signal report from a stateside station. There's nothing like a beam antenna to build up some ERP.
QRP continues to fun and challenging today. My latest Ham Radio kit is the Elecraft KX3. Now this kit requires no soldering; it's designed as a modular kit which takes about 2.5 hours to put together. The end result is a truly amazing piece of Ham Radio gear. If you are not familiar with the KX3, take a spin over to the Elecraft site (see below). I am sure you will be rather surprised at its huge list of features.
There are a number of great sites to visit to find Ham Radio Kits. Here are a few to get your electrons flowing!

By Raymond Ronamai @raymondronamai
The second day of the Budget session began with ruckus in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha over the alleged atrocities on Sri Lankan Tamils by the Sri Lankan forces. Both the Houses were adjourned till 12 p.m. following the uproar in the Parliament.
DMK, AIADMK and the Left parties moved notice for suspension of the Question Hour to discuss the alleged atrocities by Sri Lankan forces.
"The government has to take a stand on Sri Lanka, it is an issue of war crime and Human Rights violation. We want the Prime Minister to respond," CNN IBN quoted CPI leader D. Raja as saying.
"There have been several such atrocities in the Sri Lankan war. All parties in Tamil Nadu must come together. The Centre should support the US resolution in the UNHRC," DMK chief Karunanidhi said.
Meanwhile, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said, "PM has written a letter to Karunanidhi and the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, the date is not yet fixed. We do not support any specific resolution for a particular country. We will determine a time to discuss this after discussions with the human rights team."
A video released by Britain's Channel 4 showing slain LTTE chief Prabhakaran's 12-year-old son's body with five bullet holes in the chest sent shocking waves across the world.

Irish grocery market fends off the Beast from the East.
The latest grocery market share figures from Kantar Worldpanel, published today for the 12 weeks ending 25 March 2018, show that the Irish grocery market brushed off the Beast from the East to post strong sales growth of 3.8%.
Competition remains tight among the retailers. Although its market share is 0.2 percentage points behind both Dunnes Stores and SuperValu, Tesco experienced its strongest sales growth in over six years – up 7.1%. Douglas Faughnan explains: "Encouraging shoppers to splash out and spend more every time they shop has proved the key to Tesco's success. Over the past 12 weeks, customers upped their average spend by €1.36 to €26.06.
Lidl – only one of two retailers to gain market share this month – was buoyed by strong sales growth of 4.7% to increase its market share to 11.5%. Aldi experienced growth of 2.4% but dropped market share by 0.2 percentage points to 11.3%.
Continued positive momentum among Irish supermarkets, with growth hitting 3.9%.

Honest & Decent Politics underline
Before politics comes principle. Without adhering to the basic principles of honesty and decency, there can be no political debate – and no political progress. As a Soldier, a state Senator, a husband, and a father, commitment to those principles has been non-negotiable in my life. We may disagree on certain policies, but my primary mission is to represent the people of North Carolina with honesty and decency – and, hopefully, we can all agree on that.
Meet Jeff underline
Senator Jackson became the second-youngest senator in the state Senate in 2014. He was new to political office, but not new to public service, having enlisted after the attacks of September 11th, trained at Ft. Bragg, and served in Afghanistan. He continues to serve today as a Captain in the Army National Guard. He is currently in his 18th year of military service.
In the state Senate, Jeff built a reputation for being transparent, accessible, and candid. Jeff has helped lead the fight against gerrymandering, stood against discriminatory legislation like HB2, supported investments in early childhood education, repeatedly called for raising teacher pay and expanding Medicaid, passed reforms for our criminal justice system, and called out corruption when he saw it.

Sony Music Breaks Into The Web's Top 10
Major label Sony Music recently became one of the Web's top 10 entertainment music destinations, according to the independent comScore Media Metrix. This latest ranking now puts it alongside perennial music stalwarts like AOL, Yahoo!, MySpace Music, MTV Networks, Last.fm and imeem.
Sony Music's network of artist websites attracted more than 33 million visits and almost 20 million unique visitors during June, an impressive amount for any website. So why the increased traffic?
Sony now employs a few new capabilities that have had a positive impact on the site's visitors and artist's fans. Their site now offers:
a globalization ability so that fans can automatically view their favorite artist's site in their local language, interact with nearby fans, and receive regional music news.
a rewards system for fans who visit frequently.
a recommendations engine in the form of an on-demand audio player that suggests new tracks based on songs the user has already selected, as well as an integrated lyrics function.
While you wouldn't expect a major label to be so forward thinking in digital matters, Sony Music has shown that not only can it think for itself, but be successful at it too. Many other labels have good ideas as well but their implementation usually leaves something to be desired. This time, Sony has pulled it off.
