After perusing at the Vienna Academy of Music and University, he emigrated to the U.S. so as to pay heed Berklee in 1962. Mantler, wHO stirred to New York deuce age later, played trumpet for a prison term with Cecil Taylor and in the mid-'60s, he helped with the shaping of the Jazz Composer's Guild. He co-led a gravid stripe with Carla Bley, toured Europe in 1965-1966 with the Jazz Realities grouping (a quintuple including Bley and Steve Lacy), and formed the Jazz Composers' Orchestra Association (JCOA), a nonprofit formation organization that performed and recorded modern music.

Hospitals facing superbug fines
Hospitals which breach hygiene rules could be fined up to �50,000, the government is proposing.
Inspectors will also have powers to close dirty wards or clinics as part of the fight against superbugs in England.
They are part of new measures which could be given to the Care Quality Commission, the new watchdog replacing the Healthcare Commission next year.
It comes after Clostridium difficile and MRSA rates have dropped by nearly a third in the past year.
NHS trusts that fail to meet minimum hygiene standards will be issued with fixed penalty notices with fines of up to �4,000.
Obstructing an inspector or failing to provide documents or entropy will pull fines of �1,250.
While the most serious offences, such as failing to act on an improvement notice following an infection outbreak, could lead to a maximum �50,000 fine.
The hygiene computer code covers infection control, decontamination and cleanliness and the most late data shows that a quarter of trusts failed to get together at least one of the standards.
A Department of Health spokesman said: "This is a toughening up of the regulations around infection control.
But Jo Webber, of the NHS Confederation, which represents hospital bosses, said: "Where there are problems NHS trusts would hope that the commission would work with them to settle the difficulties. Fines should be a last resort."
The draft measures are extinct for consultation until the autumn.
As intimately as regulation hospitals, the new guard dog will have responsibility for overseeing concern homes, GP surgeries and private facilities.
These responsibilities ar currently divided up between several different bodies.

Freeman Thanks Fans And Hospital Staff
Morgan Freeman has thanked the medics who treated him while he cured from his horror car crash, after checking out of hospital on Thursday . The worker left the Elvis Presley Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, four days after he and a female friend were cut from the wreckage of his elevator car, after he flipped it over in an accident near his home in Mississippi. The 71-year-old The Dark Knight star suffered a broken arm and shoulder, simply escaped more serious injuries. His passenger Demaris Meyer was non badly anguish. In a statement released after he was fired, Freeman besides thanks fans for their support. He says, "I'm doing very well. I feel real good... I thank the staff at 'Elvis Presley' and many, many thanks to my many well-wishers. It's outstanding to know people fear about you." Speaking earlier on Thursday, Freeman's business partner Bill Luckett revealed the worker will get to wear a neck opening brace for six to eight months, joking, "The doctors experience said it will be six months to a year earlier he plays golf once more. He hates that."

Leisure Time Exercise Might Not Affect Depression And Anxiety
�
Voluntary utilisation does non appear to reduce anxiety and imprint in
diverse populations, just exercise and mood could be associated through
a common confounding genetic factor, according to an article released
on August 4, 2008 in the Archives of General Psychiatry,
one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
Regular exercise has previously been associated with the decrease of
anxiousness and depression. This has been concluded through experiments
with specific clinical populations, but a causal relationship has non
yet been established in the general population. Because there is the
possibility of a confounding factor that causes exercise and reduction
of symptoms to coincide, it is important to inquire the causal
relationship between the 2.
To look into this, Marleen H. M. De Moor, M.Sc., of VU University
Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and colleagues performed a twin study with
5,952 gemini the Twins from the Netherlands Twin Register, 1,357 extra
siblings, and 1,249 parents. All participants were between the ages of
18 and 50. They were evaluated through surveys regarding leisure
exercise and through several scales to measure symptoms of anxiety and
economic crisis.
After analysis, the authors found that the associations that were
observed between the symptoms and example were "small and were best
explained by common genetic factors with opposite
effects on exercise behavior and symptoms of anxiety and depression."
However, in observant the gemini the Twins, "the gemini who exercised more did not
display fewer unquiet and depressive symptoms than the co-twin who
exercised less."
Notably, higher exercise levels of one twin Falls were associated with depress
levels of depressive symptoms in the other twin. This was not displayed
in fraternal twins or in early siblings. Ultimately, it was shown that
individuals wHO increased their levels of exercise over time loosely
did not display lessened anxious or depressive symptoms. All of these
points lead to a theory that this association is somehow
genetically related. The authors comment: "It is unknown which genes
power be involved in voluntary exercise conduct and in the risk for
anxiety and slump." They suggest that the genes controlling the
neurologic pathways processing dopamine, noradrenaline, opioids or
serotonin ar potential areas for further investigation.
Ultimately, these results indicate that additional trials must be
performed earlier therapy victimization exercise stool be legitimized. This does
not mean that physical exercise cannot benefit these patients. The authors note
that "Only volunteer leisure-time exercise is influenced by genetic
factors,
whereas the other type of exercise [directed and monitored by mortal
else] is environment-driven. The absence of causal effects of voluntary
exercise on symptoms of anxiety and depression does not inculpate that
use of exercise cannot be used to change such symptoms." They
indicate that unlike results may be obtained if this exercise is
delivered as a division of a therapy program. They say:�"The
antidepressant effects of exercise crataegus oxycantha only occur if the exercise is
monitored and part of a therapeutic program."

Liza Minnelli collapses during concert

Preview : Playing a fugue of his favourite things
Piers Lane is a familiar figure to concert-goers and the Australian pianist returns next week under the happiest possible circumstances, to give a recital."You don't have to make any compromises with a recital," he says. "You can play just as you want to. You are always fitting in with others for concertos and chamber music but, in a recital, you can be yourself and that's a great joy."Lane's Tuesday programme is what one might expect from a pianist who is an indefatigable traveller on the highways and byways of Romantic music. Liszt is there, but as much for his spirit as for his own music - all you will be hearing is his arrangement of the slow movement from Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.Eugen d'Albert, whose arrangement of the great Bach C minor Passacaglia opens the evening, was Liszt's favourite pupil. "Liszt used to call him Albertus Magnus," Lane says. "And d'Albert went on to transcribe all the Bach organ works that his teacher didn't."Considering Lane has recorded a number of CDs of d'Albert's music for the Hyperion label, we can expect a definitive interpretation.
The Australian is thrilled to include Quasi-Faust by the eccentric Charles-Valentin Alkan. Again, this is a piece with crucial connections. "Alkan was Chopin's neighbour," Lane says, "as well as being a great friend of Liszt. In fact, the Quasi-Faust must have inspired the Liszt Sonata. It was written five years before the Liszt and shares some of the same melodic and rhythmic ideas."As for difficulty, the piece's title is a give-away. "It's demonic," he laughs. "It even has an eight-voice fugue."The second half of Tuesday's programme will be the complete cycle of Chopin Preludes, a rare privilege in this part of the world. "Everybody knows certain of the Preludes, but there are others that people won't recognise, as you don't get to hear them apart from as part of the whole set," Lane says. "They are a wonderful kaleidoscope of ideas and emotions and it's extraordinary to hear how Chopin feels about each major and minor key on the piano because he goes through all 24 just as Bach did in his Well-Tempered Clavier."Lane says he likes stories about the composers he plays and has thought about how Chopin might have played his own music. "Later in his life, he was frail. When he played in England towards the end, they complained they couldn't hear him at the back of the concert hall. In fact, his main criticism of other pianists was that they made the piano bark like dogs. He didn't like big-scale playing. His style was an intimate one; he drew people in rather than going out to meet them."PERFORMANCE Who: Piers LaneWhere and when: Raye Freedman Arts Centre, Epsom Girls Grammar School, Tuesday, (June 10), 7.30pm

Ageing Beauties Team Up For Mature Model Challenge
Top models Beverly Johnson and Kim Alexis are joining forces to give the catwalk a more mature look as the hosts of a new reality TV contest for ageing beauties. Alexis will host She's Got The Look, while Johnson will serve as one of the show's three judges looking for new models aged 35 and older. Alexis tells the Los Angeles Daily News, "It's a chance to enhance women over 35 who still look good and feel good about themselves and want a second chance at something. "They may have stepped aside for family or for love, but always wanted to try it." She's Got The Look debuts on America's TV Land network on 4 June .

Corporations Cutting Back Pbs Funding
With corporations cutting back on sponsorships of public television broadcasts, NewsHour With Jim Lehrer is facing a possible funding crisis, the New York Times reported today (Monday). The recent loss of Archer Daniels Midland as a corporate sponsor removed $4 million from the show's budget, which varies from $26-28 million per year, the newspaper observed. Moreover, it added, other PBS programs may face similar funding challenges as corporations cut back on all forms of advertising and no longer make endowments to public TV. Recently, the Times reported, NewsHour sought and received four international reporting grants. Executive producer Linda Winslow insisted that the grants had been "a great success story," allowing the program to extend its overseas reporting. However, she conceded, "I would not pooh-pooh the fear that it becomes something that steers you to something you wouldn't already do."

Spears getting more time with sons
The judge in the custody battle involving Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline has granted the singer more time with her sons as she continues to make progress in rebuilding her life.
Reuters reports that lawyers representing Federline told reporters that Spears' visitation rights had been extended but did not give further details.
At yesterday's closed hearing, a mental health expert gave an assessment of Spears.
Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said: "We all see indicators of progress by Ms Spears."
"What was a seemingly daily state of extreme flux has been stabilised," he added.
The 26-year-old singer appeared at the court on time yesterday.
In a statement, her parents said: "We are so pleased at Britney's progress and we are very appreciative of the court's recognition of this progress."
Federline's spokesman, Elliott Mintz, told reporters that his client was pleased with yesterday's hearing.
Mintz said: "At the end of this saga he is hoping and believing that there will be two children who are raised in the company of the two people who love them."

Glastonbury headliners revealed
Jay Z, Kings of Leon and The Verve have been announced as this year's Glastonbury headliners.
Following months of speculation, in which Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen and Led Zeppelin were rumoured to play on the Pyramid stage, the headliners were finally disclosed yesterday.
Kings of Leon will headline on Friday night; Jay Z on Saturday; and The Verve will close the festival on Sunday evening.
Other acts also confirmed to play are CSS, Neil Diamond and Hot Chip. The Guardian is also reporting that Leonard Cohen will perform on stage for the first time in 14 years.
Of the headliners, organiser Emily Eavis said: "We're absolutely thrilled to have them. The Verve are a classic Glastonbury band who've played some amazing sets at the festival over the years. Now that they're back together again, playing brilliant shows, we've finally got them doing the headline slot that they always deserved. I can't wait."
She continued: "Jay-Z is coming all the way over from New York especially to play the festival. It's a real coup for us. He might seem like a slightly unusual choice for Glastonbury, but we've never just gone for the obvious acts and we're so honoured to have one of the most talented and respected musicians on the planet coming to the farm. He's an amazing artist and an incredible live act. I think he's going to blow people away."
She added: "That leaves Kings of Leon. They've come through the ranks at Glastonbury since they rocked the New Bands Tent in 2003. We think they're one of the most exciting live bands out there right now and that they're ready to make the leap to join a great heritage of Friday night headliners which includes Coldplay and White Stripes."
The full line-up for the Festival will be announced in June with the three-day event taking place from 27 to 29 June.
Fans who want one of the 137,500 tickets on offer must provide contact details and a passport photo in order to receive a registration number.
The number does not guarantee entry to the festival at Worthy Farm in Pilton, however fans will not be able to buy a ticket without one.
They have until Friday 14 March to register their interest via the festival's website. Tickets will then go on sale on Sunday 6 April.
