When it comes to the evolving roles of women, these last weeks of summer have provided an amusing flipbook, one of those little novelty books you flip through fast to blur the pictures together. Four images stand out; Michelle Obama bounding down the steps of Air Force One in shorts and tennies; Hillary Clinton snapping at a questioner at a town hall meeting in Africa; the First Lady of South Carolina Jenny Sanford posing glamorously and speaking candidly in the glossy pages of Vogue; and plus-sized model Lizzi Miller, a.k.a "The Woman on Page 194," wearing nothing but a radiant smile and a red thong in Glamour.

It's the end of a long day of hunting in Africa. Ted Williams and John Underwood, his friend and writing collaborator, are in their tent trying to get to sleep, the faint light of a lantern casting everything in shadows. Underwood, bone tired, is talking to Williams with his eyes closed when the famed ballplayer, who has just finished his first year as the Washington Senators' manager, starts talking about one of his players - specifically his batting stroke and the modifications that might be made to it.

Now where is the baking powder?" [Rosalie Sorrels] asks. She looks through a couple of drawers and cupboards but doesn't find it. Sounding like any person who's taken care of herself for a long time, she adds, "I don't mind when someone comes up to help me clean or whatever, but I wish they'd put stuff back where they found it." Concerned but not deterred, she pours the muffin batter into a tin and puts it in a shiny, white oven to bake. "I love playing with them," Sorrels says of [Bill Liles] and [Ben Burdick]. "They're so much fun to play with and they're so aware of what I do. I was a jazz nut before I started singing folk songs. My concert set is with Ramblin' Jack Elliott, one of the only people I know older than I am who's still alive," she laughs heartily. "NPR did a story on me...

The group's influences are clear as a vodka-tonic--the Velvets, early Stones, anyone who ever touched the stage at CBGB, Bowie--though they stick to originals (except for an ill-considered cover of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me," the Novels' only misstep). It's the strength of the original compositions combined with the band's skill--the foursome is as tight as, um, [Pablo Novelas]' pants--that lift them out of the realm of mere homage and into the nebulous ether of derivative-yet-awesome, a world the Strokes once ruled. Novelas has mastered the slurry, slack-jawed growl of the glam-rock world and the rest of the group starts and stops, makes chord changes with spot-on aplomb, harmonizing the oohs and ahhs sharply, with just a touch of irony. Songs like "Show Me," and "In My Eyes" (both...

It's easy to understand why Concord's X-Rated Porno Machine recently performed at a lingerie party at the Playboy Mansion. The band's two striking female vocalists often dress up as cheerleaders or schoolgirls during X-Rated Porno Machine's live shows. As for the music, "Mr. President" is a superb full-tilt rocker that recalls the jagged political music of System of a Down. Other tracks include the song "Mine," which is hard rock that the Monterey metal crowd would appreciate. Back in 2006, Santa Cruz's Ribsy's Nickel moved back to their hometown after a three-year stint in Southern California. The popular group pays homage to Santa Cruz big wave surfer Darryl "Flea" Vitrosko on "Victory The Flea," while "Missing You" is a rock ballad that gains a reggae lilt halfway through. Formed by ...

If you didn't see Ed Palermo's Big Band Tribute to Frank Zappa afterward on Beatlejazz, you missed the best non-[Aretha Franklin] moment of the festival. A tincture of marimba sounds and bass flooded the campus during a retelling of Zappa's "Inca Roads," while funnier tunes from Zappa's catalog - think "Po-Jama People" and "Uncle Remus" - retained the intricacy that makes it so difficult to redo Zappa. Let's face it: The man was a genius, and his tunes are difficult to play, but Palermo's group nailed them. The Onondaga Community College Jazz Band played well on their home turf, focusing on a "set within a set," as band director Steve Frank called it, of [Duke Ellington] classics including "In a Mellow Tone" and "Cottontail." They were joined by a female vocal quartet for "It Don't Mean...
