If you left a box labeled "turbo" in a gas station parking lot, we may be able to help you get it back.
Vaultpsu, a VW Vortex member, stopped by a gas station off Rt. 50 near the Bay Bridge and found a box labeled turbo. Skeptical at first, but soon realizing the value of his discovery, he quickly got the box home and posted on VW Vortex forum in hopes of finding its rightful owner. If it's yours, you will need to prove it, but the finder is more than willing to help you get it back. We need more good samaritans like this. Maybe then I'd have chance of recovering my "missing" iPod. [VWVortex]

The ever-shrinking SIM card
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Editorial, Features
What you see in the image above is the evolution of mobile phone SIM card design over the past four years. The largest in the image, known as the mini-SIM, was used for quite a while as the standard in GSM cell phones. However, as smartphones began to rise in popularity, drop is cost, and brought increased functionality, it was determined that the mini-SIM just wasn't mini enough. It took up too much of the precious real estate that mobile phone manufacturers needed for other things. Thing like a GPS radio, Wi-Fi, larger batteries, dock connectors, graphics chips, and more. And so began the start of the shrinking SIM card.
SIM is short for subscriber identity module. To make it simple, it authenticates a device to use your account specific account. In the United States, we didn't really see the introduction of the micro-SIM (3FF) until Apple introduced the iPhone 4. The new micro-SIM was 15mm x 12mm in size, down from the 25mm x 15mm mini-SIM. Both come with a chamfered edge to prevent misinsertion into the device.
Earlier this year, the nano-SIM (or 4FF) was introduced. Both Apple and Nokia were battling over the standard, each making the case that its design should win out over the other. In the end, a nano-SIM was sort of a compromise between the two proposals. The new card measures in at 12.3mm x 8.8 mm and is 0.67mm thick, a 15% reduction in thickness from the previous cards. The nano-SIM is almost all contact area, with just a thin rim of plastic to avoid a short circuit.
The nice thing about all these recent changes is that there are adapters you can use to insert smaller SIM cards into devices that require the larger sizes. For example, you can put the new nano-SIM into a device that requires a micro-SIM or mini-SIM. It's not an elegant solution by any stretch of the imagination, but it's there to relieve a bit of the headache. The cards are also now shipping on breakway full-size SIM (1FF) cards (these look similar to credit cards) that allow you to punch out the contact of the SIM into whatever size you need.
So now, we move towards the nano-SIM. The only current mass market device using it is the iPhone 5, but we expect to see it turn up in other phones in the next few months, possibly starting with Nokia devices. The annoyance here is that SIM cards are supposed to be easily swappable between devices--that's part of what makes GSM service so much more tolerable than CDMA. Just swap your card into another device (or swap an international card into your current device) and your service is transferred over in an instant.
Now, devices need to play catch-up again, just when the micro-SIM was pretty much ubiquitous. It will take a while for the majority of smartphones to migrate to the nano-SIM standard, and who knows how long the nano-SIM will be around before the next, smaller SIM card standard emerges? In the quest for thinner, feature-packed devices, it could be much sooner than we expect.

Course: Spanish 30: Introduction to Hispanic Studies. I. Middle Ages to 17th Century
Instructor: Prof. Noelia Cirnigliaro
Assignment: A Visual Essay
Why and what for we have final video project in Spanish 30.Introduction to Hispanic Studies. I. Middle Ages to 17th Century?
In understanding the historical myths that condition Early Modern Spanish and current Spanish imaginaries, we have studied historian Henry Kamen's latest book Imagining Spain. Historical Myth and National Identity (2008). The myths discussed in his work and in our course are the following: "The myth of a Historical Nation", "The Myth of an Empire", "The Myth of a Christian Spain", "The Myth of a Universal Language", "The Myth of the Inquisition", "The Myth of the Failed Monarchy" and "The Myth of Perpetual Decline". We are studying clusters of texts in relation to one myth at a time. The purpose of the visual essay is that students understand even better, but also try out, test, and evaluate the pertinence to these historical myths (and, of course, of Henry Kamen's assertions) in relation to a different text that we have not discussed in association with student's chosen myth. For their final video projects, then, students will explore the connection between a core question about the culture of Spain and Latin America, then and now, and only one literary piece from Medieval, Early Modern Spain, or Colonial Latin America. All in all, these videos should work as a collective visual essay, with a hypothesis and a series of arguments and evidence (discussion of historical information, close readings of texts, analysis of images, maps, etc), a bibliography and a filmography.
Why a visual essay?
Many reasons.
First, because early modern literature and culture were absolutely visual. A video project can make that quality of literature and culture come to the fore in a very vivid way. All literary expressions, both oral and written, are in fact preeminently visual; they come alive in the mental images created in our brains through speech. We have even seen concrete examples of the "filmic" quality of literature, avant la lettre in this case, with the medieval Epic Poem "Cantar del Mio Cid".
Second, evaluation and assessment should reflect the type of practice we have done throughout the term. Since this course privileges individual and collective oral discussion of texts and ideas, a group video project is a well suited evaluative instance, as opposed to a final written paper. We have also used visual components, such as documentaries and modern versions of literary texts to enliven our understanding Medieval and Early Modern Spain, Colonial Latin America and our own images about those cultures.
Third, an essay (visual or otherwise) that is pitched for an audience potentially larger and less specialized than the professor -who is correcting and grading it- allows students to work more consciously in achieving clarity, straightforwardness, and conciseness in their arguments. A sub-goal is that students will develop their skills in finding relevance when they evaluate the materials to be incorporated in the selection of references, etc. Working under time constrictions (5 to 7 minutes), description of contextual information, analysis of a specific concept, word, or passage, and narration of anecdotes can be worked into the argumentation only to illuminate the working hypothesis, not to fill up space.
Finally, collective work is inspiring, intellectually challenging, and can create affective and intellectual bonds for life. Literary texts such as those we read in this class can present a real challenge due to their linguistic abstruseness, their historical distance, and apparent lack of relevance in discussing issued at work in contemporary Spain and Latin America. Collective work can help overcome the difficulty of inhabiting the past. What might seem abstruse in the silent, private, and individual act of reading shall come alive and acquire new resonances in the collective dissection of the readings, over dark coffee and late night pizza.
Who will help?
Susan Simon (Academic Computing) and other professionals at the Baker-Berry Library and the Jones Media Center will provide technological instruction and guidance, especially with iMovie.
Miguel Valladares (Reference bibliographer- Romance Languages) will make very easy primary research at the library with his class on bibliographic and digital resources.
Jay Satterfield (Reference Bibliographer- Rauner Library) will flesh out the vitality of print culture in this period and the importance of book and manuscript images in the creation of Spanish myths.
And I, Noelia Cirnigliaro, as teacher of this course, will make myself very available (class and office hours) to provide detailed guidance at all stages of the production. I have already created guidelines and other documents such as check out lists, timelines, assignment description like this very document, and evaluation criteria and other handouts. Also, since the beginning of the term, Blackboard is filled with images, extra readings and internet links to databases, online libraries and educational webpages about the Medieval Iberia, the Spanish Early Modern Period and Colonial Latin America.
What to expect?
A lot of learning from :
* the materials I propose (literary and critical texts, plus Kamen)
* the materials you students will research on and talk about (images, texts, films, etc)
* the conversation with group mates
* the special classes with other teachers and technology professionals
* the practice with the editing program (iMovie)
* the conversations instructor and students I will hold in class, and office hours
and for the same reasons, an incredibly demanding semester but, hopefully, a lot of fun and a very rewarding outcome.

Journal Article
A Comparison of Experimental and Modeled Velocity in Gasoline Direct-Injection Sprays with Plume Interaction and Collapse
Modeling plume interaction and collapse for direct-injection gasoline sprays is important because of its impact on fuel-air mixing and engine performance. Nevertheless, the aerodynamic interaction between plumes and the complicated two-phase coupling of the evaporating spray has shown to be notoriously difficult to predict. With the availability of high-speed (100 kHz) Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experimental data, we compare velocity field predictions between plumes to observe the full temporal evolution leading up to plume merging and complete spray collapse. The target "Spray G" operating conditions of the Engine Combustion Network (ECN) is the focus of the work, including parametric variations in ambient gas temperature. We apply both LES and RANS spray models in different CFD platforms, outlining features of the spray that are most critical to model in order to predict the correct aerodynamics and fuel-air mixing.

Deputies: Robbery suspects nabbed near school
Authorities lockdown school during search for thieves
Officials locked down Spring Lake Elementary school early Thursday as Seminole County deputies looked for two robbery suspects.
Both of the suspects were taken into custody. The school's lockdown was then lifted.
Authorities said one of the suspects may have been on school property at the time of the lockdown. Another suspect was nearby.
The armed suspects robbed a Kangaroo Express on State Road 436, according to investigators.
The duo is accused of taking money from the cash register and personal items from some customers before fleeing into a wooded area.
No one was injured in the robbery.
Several roads were blocked in the area as deputies, assisted by the Altamonte Springs Police Department, searched for the suspected thieves.
Police said neither of the men have given up their names and are not cooperating.

Asadullah Khalid, the head of Afghanistan's intelligence agency, suffered severe abdominal injuries in a suicide attack in Kabul on Dec. 5. According to the State Department, he had been granted entry to the United States in mid-December for medical treatment at the request of Afghan President Hamid Karzai's administration.
The White House did not publicly announce that Obama had visited Khalid, but Afghan news outlets reported on the brief meeting. And a snapshot purportedly showing Obama standing by Khalid's bedside — the spy chief wearing splints on his forearms and a bandage on his face — made the rounds on social media.
A leading U.S. human rights organization said it is outraged by the president's decision to greet Khalid, who has been accused of abuses including torture and drug trafficking even as he distinguished himself as a Karzai ally and anti-Taliban figure in his native Kandahar.
"Even if your administration determined that humanitarian arguments justified his entry for medical treatment, a presidential visit to his bedside . . . was a major misstep," Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, wrote Dec. 23 in a letter to Obama, who is scheduled to meet with Karzai at the White House on Friday.

91,000 new residents flocked to S.A. in 2 years
San Antonio's metro area grew robustly by nearly 100,000 residents in a little over two years, according to newly released numbers.
Since the last census count on April 1, 2010, through July 1, 2012, the city's eight-county metro area added about 91,000 residents — an increase of 4.3 percent and an average annual increase of just under 41,000 people or about 1.9 percent growth.
From 2000 to 2010, the San Antonio area experienced an annual growth rate of about 2.5 percent, adding an average of 43,000 residents each of those years. The Census Bureau now estimates the Alamo City area's population reached 2.23 million last July.
Lloyd Potter, Texas's State Demographer, said there was a slight dip in the rate of population growth that could be the result of several factors.
One is an improving national economy. During the recession of the late 2000s, San Antonio (and Texas) received a large influx of migrants from other, economically harder-hit states. With regional economies showing signs of life in other parts of the country, that torrent of out-of-state immigrants may be receding.
"The impact of the recession has probably run its course in terms of driving a lot of recession-driven migration (to Texas)," said Potter, who emphasized that he had not looked at the new figures himself.
He also speculated the numbers may reflect a declining birth rate among Hispanics — who comprise 54 percent of San Antonio's population.
A study released in November by the Pew Research Center found Hispanic women had greater birth rate declines than any other ethnic group between 2007 and 2010.
Potter noted that Texas, too, saw a decline in its annual growth rate from last decade.
From 2000 to 2010, Texas averaged 2.1 percent growth per year, fifth-highest in the nation. From April 2010 to July 2012, it averaged just 1.6 percent annual growth. Overall, Texas' population grew 3.6 percent in that time period, to 26.1 million.
Steve Murdock, a former director of the U.S. Census Bureau, said that any large city's growth rate is itself something of a red herring.
"The larger you are, the more growth it takes to have a given percent increase," said Murdock, a former Texas state demographer who now heads the Hobby Center for the Study of Texas at Houston's Rice University.
Said another way, the fact that San Antonio added nearly a hundred thousand new residents in a little over two years is indicative of strong growth, regardless of whether the rate of growth may have slipped.
"I wouldn't be overly concerned at this point that there's any drastic change in the growth parameters of San Antonio," Murdock said.
Among those public officials with an eye on the region's growing population is Bexar County Manager David Smith.
Bexar, home to more than three-quarters of metro San Antonio's population, saw 4.1 percent growth since 2010.
That's a concern as county government grapples with how to provide necessary public services to unincorporated areas of Bexar where they have almost no rulemaking authority.
"If you look at the whole unincorporated area, we would have one of the top 10 cities in Texas," said Smith, who described the newly released population figures as in line with county projections.
In Texas, San Antonio has kept pace with its big-city peers.
Its 4.3 percent growth rate matched those of Dallas-Fort Worth — Texas's largest metro area — and of Houston, home to the state's largest city.
The Census Bureau now estimates those cities' metro populations at 6.7 million and 6.18 million, respectively.
All three metros' growth rates have trailed Austin's in recent years. The state's capital grew at a 6.9 percent clip, to 1.83 million residents as of last July.
For Murdock, the numbers are clear.
"The question is 'Are you having substantial population growth?' and the answer for San Antonio is 'Yes.'"

It uses SQLite as a database. It can store the items according to each of the entry types described in the Biblatex manual (book, article, etc.), import the content of a file in Biblatex format (like a JabRef database, a Mendeley BibTex exported file, or a Google Books BibTex downloaded file), export data to a Biblatex file (like a JabRef database), locate an item just typing its author name, title, etc. filter the items by selecting a keyword in a list, filter the items according to three different conditions (or to manually modify the SQL statement of the filter to make it more suitable or complex) or according to the \cite commands contained within a Latex document, associate various attachments (files of every kind) with each item, activate autocompletion of data in each field with "Ctrl + Space", automatically create unique BibTex keys according to a pattern defined by the user, and specify the fields (columns) shown in the grid view of the data. It is also possible to replace the \cite and \printbibliography commands in a Latex document with extended citations and bibliography, which are composed according to a user-defined pattern, to export the Latex file in other formats more easily.

If salt molecules are conditioned entities they are unable to act as salt alone. Hence there is no "salt" in the appearance we are labeling salt because the conditions which support the appearance of "salt" do not end at "salt molecules", do they? Salt molecules, we will readily, are conditioned entities upon which we lable the aggregate we are calling salt. But a salt molecule itself is an aggregate, and so and so forth. A salt molecule cannot act as salt, it must be in an aggregate to have that function. And a given salt molecule itself cannot function without the aggregate upon which it depends. And that dependence has both depth as well as extension i.e. not only does it depend on its own specific causes and conditions, but its dependence is lateral, since it depends the presence of the element of sodium, chloride, as has been mentioned above. Not only does salt molecule depend on these two elements, it depends on conditions of pressure, heat, and so on. So a great deal more goes into producing the appearance we are labeling salt mere salt molecules. In fact, the presence of salt molecules is dependent on every other phenoemena in the universe i.e. karana hetu or "creative cause" or the "dominant condition" the principle that all phenomena are causes for all other phenomena apart from themselves. When all of this is taken into consideration, as any proper analysis must, we find that in a very real sense salt is empty of salt just as persons are empty of persons, and just as all conditioned phenomena are empty of conditoned phenomena.yadave wrote:Salt molecules are entities, conditioned entities, the smallest things we find that have properties we know of that make salt salt, make salty taste salty. What are you looking for?Namdrol wrote: The emptiness of salt does not prove salt does not exist, it merely removes the claim that there is an existent called "salt" When salt is analyzed, no salt is found in salt. There is no entity among the components of salt that make salt salt.
Whatever arises dependently, that is empty -- that is Nagarjuna's message -- there is no place where we say "Oh, we can stop our analysis here". If you stop your analysis, you are in effect making a claim of independence, at least, that is what Nagarjuna is trying to force you to admit.
Only if we arbitrarily limit our analysis of dependent relations. And if we limit that analysis, the Madhyamakas will try to force us to admit that we have made a claim about essences.Well I apologize, Namdrol, I know we've been through this, but we do find a basis for our labels.
Airplains and all other phenomena are required, it is intrinsic to the logic of the six causes and four conditions, which are the six causes and four conditions that Nagarjuna sets out and dismantles completely in the first chapter of the MMK.The only way I can make sense of your assertion is by imagining some kind of blocks world where we are looking for a smallest indivisible block to label. But we don't do this when looking for the smallest component of salt, we label this "salt molecule." For Padma's composite thunderstorm, we find a basis consisting of wind, rain, lightning, an array of composite entities that we collectively label "thunderstorm." We don't include "airplanes" in our collection because they are not required to have a "thunderstorm."

This is a mentalism routine with heart that packs flat and plays big. This effect will amaze any onlooker and leave them with a "warm fuzzy" inside. When you can grip an audience emotionally it becomes easy to take on the role of a tour guide and excort them on a magical journey.
The magician introduces several postcards from his previous trips around the world. He lays the postcards out before his audience to conduct an experiment in mind-reading. Blindfolded or while his back is turned, the magician asks a spectator to touch the cards at random. Incredibly, the magician predicts the spectators every move and ultimately divines their final selection. The final selection is also revealed to be the magicians last romantic get-away.

Celeb Stylist Kithe Brewster: Down 60+ Pounds and Loving Life
The man who dresses the likes of 'Real Housewives' Cynthia Bailey and Beyonce has transformed his body and his health after following the Duke Diet for five months. Here's how his incredible weight loss is changing his life.
Six months ago, New York City-based celebrity stylist Kithe Brewster set out to achieve a demanding personal goal: To shed 60 pounds from his 300-pound frame over the next half-year by following the Duke Diet.
But just five months into his mission, Brewster is already more than 60 pounds slimmer and feels better than ever. In fact, he recently decided to bump up his weight loss goal another 20 pounds.
"I am completely motivated to take it to the highest level that I can possibly reach," Kithe said in his latest webisode, below. (Everyday Health is following Brewster's weight loss progress in the video series called "60 Pounds in 6 Months.")
Brewster can't get over how much his life — professionally and personally — has changed over the course of his weight loss. At a recent photo shoot in Los Angeles for actress Mircea Monroe, he was shocked by how much energy he had. "Five months ago I would have been sitting in a chair directing the whole shoot, but there I was running from place to place," said Kithe. "Everybody needed coffee to stay awake [but] I was fully alert and had an abundance of energy."
In the past, Brewster's insanely hectic travel schedule — "my life is basically about traveling; I live out of a suitcase" — had derailed his ability to eat well and carve out time to exercise.
But the newly motivated Brewster was now excited to stay healthy on the road. He jogged through LA trails and parks when he wasn't working, and ate healthy snacks, like bowls of fresh fruit, on photo shoot sets.
Brewster decided to start the Duke Diet last year after he finally realized he needed to make a major change to his health and lifestyle. He was dangerously overweight, with high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure. His worried family would tell him that he was a heart attack waiting to happen.
The Duke Diet, a program from the Duke Diet & Fitness Center in Durham, N.C., is all about an integrated approach to weight loss. Patients who stay at the center work with doctors, nutritionists, exercise physiologists, and psychologists to help them make long-lasting changes to their eating and exercise habits. About 80 percent of Duke Diet participants have maintained or improved their weight loss a year after completing the program.
Related: 10 Weight Loss Tips from the Duke Diet
After an initial month-long stay at the center, Kithe lost 20 pounds and left feeling extremely inspired to continue to lose weight at home using the healthy-eating and exercise tips (such as ditching soda and ramping up cardio) he gleaned from his visit.
The Duke Diet & Fitness Center also offers an online weight loss program (available to anyone), which includes behavioral health assessments, customized meal and fitness plans, and access to Duke weight loss experts at DukeDiet.com.
At a recent return check-up to Duke, Brewster learned that his dramatic weight loss has improved other aspects of his health too. His blood pressure dropped to a healthy 110/70 mm/HG from a hypertensive 140/80 mm/HG at his initial stay.
"Kithe says he feels 'amazing' physically and emotionally, and I am not surprised," says Howard Eisenson, MD, executive director of the Duke Diet & Fitness Center. "I believe that his will be a continuing and inspiring success story, and such stories are much more powerful when the improvements are seen to be enduring."

Aga Khan Planning and Building Service in Pakistan receives World Habitat Award 2006
Leicestershire, United Kingdom, 4 September 2006 – The Aga Khan Planning and Building Service, Pakistan (AKPBS, P) has received the World Habitat Award 2006 for its efforts to improve housing conditions in Pakistan through its Building and Construction Improvement Programme (BACIP). It is the second time in the Award's history that a Pakistani organisation has received this prestigious award. The World Habitat Awards are presented each year at the global celebration of World Habitat Day, organised each year on the first Monday of October by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT). Established in 1985 by the Building and Social Housing Foundation (BSHF) as part of its contribution to the United Nations International Year of Shelter for the Homeless, the World Habitat Awards provide a unique opportunity to focus attention on the importance of shelter in people's lives. Two awards are given annually to projects that provide practical and innovative solutions to current housing needs and problems. Every year a prize of UK £10,000 is presented to each of the two winners at the annual United Nations global celebration of World Habitat Day. Organisations or Governments who have an innovative and practical solution to housing needs and problems from any country of the world are eligible to participate. Projects are sought that demonstrate practical, innovative and sustainable solutions to current housing issues faced by countries of the North as well as the South and are versatile in terms of being transferred or adapted for use as appropriate.

The agency's mandate is to plan and implement infrastructure and technology-related development initiatives to improve the built environment and to enhance living conditions for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged populations in order to eliminate poverty. It does this by providing material, technical assistance and applied research, as well as planning and construction management services for communities in both rural and urban areas. The AKPBS, P's Building and Construction Improvement Programme (BACIP) is designed to improve living conditions by developing solutions to issues relating to housing and the built environment. The programme has developed low-cost, seismic-resistant, energy and resource-efficient housing construction methods and standards. Over 15,000 fuel-efficient products have been installed in 7,000 households to date, benefiting more than 50,000 people. BACIP has been listed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)-Global Environmental Facility (GEF)/ Small Grants Programme (SGP) as Best Practice in UNDP/GEF-SGP 10 years of operations in Pakistan Programme activities of the AKPBS, P have been supported by the local communities and local governments, the German funding agency Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau (KFW); Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA); United States Agency for International Development (USAID); United Nations Development Program, Pakistan, (UNDP, P) / Global Environmental Facility (GEF) - Small Grants Programme (SGP); European Commission (EC); Austrian Development Agency (AusAID), Hundreds of Original Projects for Employment (HOPE 87), United Nations Development Program, Pakistan, (UNDP, P), Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF); the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF), and many other development organizations and foundations.

Click here to see our full list of English idioms and idiomatic expressions.
Thank you so much..
thank you so much can you leave this on the page for fucture referance.
Thank you for your so good post!
Hi. My question is: how can these idioms be leanrt easier? It is very difficult to learn them from the dictionary. Do you have any advice for me?
When you read, notice the idioms you see in use, check the meanings in a dictionary and then try to use them. There are thousands of them and far too many to remember by learning. We also have quizzes on them.
Which are the most used idioms in everyday life??? Where do the natives use idioms most: writing or speaking? Why?
Wonderful!Wonderful and necessary!!!Thnx a lot!))
Mad-ox, people use idioms in both written and spoken language and I think it would be hard to point to which one had more idioms.
hellow. thank you for the network

These companies are using or selling paper made from Asia Pulp and Paper (APP), part of the notorious Sinar Mas group that is destroying Indonesia's rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands.
Greenpeace investigated two important rainforest areas on the Indonesian island of Sumatra and discovered that Sinar Mas is wreaking environmental havoc in both. The Bukit Tigapuluh Forest Landscape is one of the last refuges for endangered Sumatran tigers and orang-utans. Kerumutan's carbon rich peatlands are a key defence against climate change; some of the forest's peat is deeper than three meters and thus illegal to clear under Indonesian law. Sinar Mas' paper arm APP uses the logs from these rainforest areas to feed its Sumatran based pulp mills, which export pulp and paper products worldwide.
These are just two of many important rainforests being decimated by Sinar Mas for pulp and paper and palm oil expansion. Indonesian President Yudyohono's new commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation will be undermined unless he extends the moratorium on new deforestation licenses to cover all forest and peatlands that are currently slated for destruction by Sinar Mas and other companies.
Several leading companies have already responded to Greenpeace evidence of the Sinar Mas group's illegal and destructive environmental practices in Indonesia and are cancelling their contracts with the Indonesian palm oil and paper giant. Greenpeace is calling on the rest to follow suit.

He did it again last night, November 16th, at 8:00 p.m., as part of The Sounds of South Africa concert held at City Center, located at West 55th Street in Manhattan. He shared the spotlight with jazz pianist Abdullah Ibrahim and the Soweto String Quartet.Â
Known for his charismatic blend of upper register lines, repetitive phrases, tonal resonance and note bending on trumpet and flugelhorn, Masekela is adept in the genres of pop, R&B, Afropop, funk, jazz and disco. He is an international phenomenon noted for his extraordinary bebop and balladry skills.
"The South African Tourism Office in partnership with the National Geographic people are featuring artists from South Africa via this concertâ€? explained Masekela to The Black Star News, in an interview before his performance. "The music is a kaleidoscope of South Africa's urban, traditional, and jazz related music. The concert's purpose is to encourage people to come visit a free and liberated South Africa,â€? stated the trumpet master. Â
"People know South Africa via its liberation movement, music, and struggle. Now we want them to see the free South Africa. During our struggle, Miriam Makeba was a beacon as was Harry Belafonte, who has been involved with South Africa's freedom struggle since 1959," he said. Belafonte introduced Masekela at the performance last night, to a resounding standing ovation.
Born in 1939, and because of Apartheid, Masekela left South Africa at age 21, returning at age 51. "Growing up in South Africa was terrible. South Africa was no different than what African Americans experienced in America during slavery and afterwards. South Africa was a place of institutionalized and legislative slavery. As far back as the 19th century African Americans were allowed to engage in enterprise but in South Africa this didn't happen until there was world pressure,� explained Masekela, who authored his autobiography "Still Grazing� and two novels.
After Apartheid, a Reconciliation Commission was established wherein Black South Africans forgave White South Africans. "Yes, there was a disposition of reconciliation. We are the first nation to help free our oppressors. We are interested in moving on with and improving the quality of our lives. It is true Black South Africans forgave even though the White South Africans did not apologize. I don't think there has ever been a case anywhere in the world or anytime in history wherein the oppressor apologized for their oppression. The Chinese and Koreans haven't gotten an apology from the Japanese. I don't think the Germans ever really expressed regret for WW2 nor have the British, French, Americans, or Portuguese apologized for slavery. Unfortunately, white South Africans are no different. It seems that human beings have a history of being nasty to each other,� said Masekela soberly.
"Though this will be the first time, I have appeared at City Center, Alvin Ailey who appeared there often, composed, and later debuted at City Center, a ballet entitled 'Masekela Language,' from a compilation of music that I recorded. However, I have performed at Carnegie Hall, Yankee Stadium, and Madison Square Garden� stated the South African artist who is best known for his work in the musical "Sarafina,� "Grazing in the Grass,� and the freedom anthem "Bring Back Nelson Mandela, Bring Him Back Home to Soweto.�
 "I own, with two partners, the only Black owned independently distributed South African record and entertainment company. We are into films, management and various projects. I am very involved in the development of young talent in South Africa. In fact, the Sounds of South Africa concert is a fund raiser to enable us to help young South Africans of all hues to come and perform in the United States. I am helping to create an independently owned African environment of entrepreneurship throughout Africa, with South Africa as the launching pad for this endeavor. It is often surprising to me when artists who have drawn their resources and gained their success from the communities they come from completely forget their origins. The people that mentored me like Miriam Makeba, Dizzy Gillespie, Harry Belafonte, Louie Armstrong, and Miles Davis always remembered the people from whence they came. They used their celebrity to bring attention to the plight of their communities. I think that if you don't do that, then you need your brain examined,� stated Masekela emphatically.
After 350 years of war against colonial occupation by the Dutch, British, and International business, South Africa today is in flux. "If we are lucky, Black South Africans have about 1% of any control in the economy of South Africa. Never in the history of humanity have people said, 'Listen, we are sorry we made so much money off your backs for centuries. Here's $500 billion to show you how sorry we are.' That is not going to happen. The government was so criminal we couldn't feed the underlining turmoil in South Africa. Then one day, the world woke up and Black South Africans found themselves standing in orderly fashion voting. It was then we were dubbed a 'miracle' nation but that is not how life works,â€? said the pragmatic musician and businessman.Â
"People who were prejudice yesterday don't change overnight. Even in America today, certain neighborhoods look bombed out. And, no one ever talks about the plight of Native Americans. People by nature are not charitable. The miracle of South Africa is that the oppressed people are more concerned with improving their lives than seeking revenge even though there are still racial attacks,� said Masekela.
A fighter against injustice, Masekela modestly stated: "I played on Bob Marley's first recording. He was young and his music spoke of freedom, too. There have been many who have spoken out against injustice: Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Malcolm X. Most of the world's good people have been manipulated and their lives ended mysteriously, especially in the political field where most have been assassinated. Sadly it happens because power doesn't listen to reason.�

Rhode Island passes gay marriage bill
Photo: AP
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Rhode Island House has overwhelmingly passed legislation to allow gay couples to marry.
The House passed the legislation 51-19 Thursday following an emotional debate that touched on religion, civil rights and the nature of marriage.
The bill now moves to the Senate, where supporters and opponents say its fate is difficult to predict.
The vote was personal to Ken Fish, who showed up at the Statehouse early to get a seat in the viewing gallery. The 70-year-old Warwick resident says he and his partner of 25 years have long waited for Rhode Island to pass gay marriage. He called Thursday's vote "history in the making."
Rhode Island is now the only state in New England that doesn't allow same-sex couples to wed.

This article first appeared in Aviation Week & Space Technology.
If ever there were an aircraft that should grow in capability, China's newly flown Y-20 airlifter would be it. The prototype that took to the air on Jan. 26 mates what looks like a modern airframe with obsolete 1960s-technology engines. Together, they probably represent no more than a serviceable design standard, offering only modest advances in capability over the Ilyushin Il-76 that China already operates.
But a better engine is under development for the Y-20. If and when China's technologically challenged aero-engine industry can get that high-bypass turbofan ready, then the airlifter should surge in performance. More distantly, a truly modern engine under development for the Comac C919 airliner could also be available.
Successful development of the Y-20 airframe is in itself an important accomplishment for the Chinese industry, which in more than six decades of Communist history has been only slowly and haltingly weaning itself from copying foreign types, mostly Soviet-era Russian designs. Underscoring this point, the Y-20 is the largest indigenous Chinese aircraft built so far, exceeding the unsuccessful Y-10 airliner tested in the early 1980s.
The Y-20 will not enter service before 2017, according to two Chinese military academics, Zhang He and Li Wei, writing in China Youth Daily, a major national newspaper. They also say that the Y-20 airframe incorporates composite materials (although most of it appears to be aluminum) and a "supercritical" wing. It is not clear whether the objective is to have a new engine ready by service entry.
The Y-20 is an entirely new design, even though it is close in size and shape to the Il-76, which uses the same Saturn D-30KP medium-bypass engine as the Chinese airlifter's prototype. Compared with the Il-76, the Y-20 has a shorter wingspan and a shorter, but slightly wider, fuselage. The Y-20 is larger than the Airbus A400M and has about the same fuselage diameter, but is much smaller than the Boeing C-17.
Specifications estimated by Aviation Week (see table) and including dimensions determined photometrically, vary from figures quoted by Zhang and Li. The academics say the Y-20's span is 45 meters (148 ft.), length 47 meters, height 15 meters, gross weight "over 200 tons" and payload 66 tons. They give no source, but their figures could be preliminary numbers estimated in 2006, when the project was launched after about 15 years of study. Comparison with the Il-76 suggests that the published weight and payload figures are too high for a version fitted with the D-30KP.
In late 2009, Hu Xiaofeng, the general manager of Avic Aircraft -- the large-airplane specialist subsidiary of aeronautics group Avic -- said the Y-20 was in the "200-ton class" and would be unveiled at the end of that year. But it was not unveiled then, suggesting that the airframe or engine program had hit trouble. The Xian Aircraft plant is building the Y-20, which was rolled out in December 2012.
The Y-20 follows the configuration set by the Lockheed C-141, with a high-mounted wing, moderately swept to combine good low-speed performance with reasonable cruising speed, fuselage-mounted landing gear and a T-tail. (Since the C-141, all successful jet airlifters have used that configuration, except the An-124, which has a low tail.) The Y-20's wing has full-span slats and triple-slotted trailing-edge flaps, the latter comprising two articulated segments with a fixed vane on the forward surface. The engines are hung low as on the Il-76 -- in its current form at least, the Y-20 does not use externally blown flaps in the same way as the C-17.
The ailerons can also droop to increase lift at low speeds, and large spoilers are fitted for roll control and lift dumping. Like the C-17, the Y-20 has a four-piece rudder, with upper and lower double-hinged segments. This provides both redundancy and the ability to use higher deflection on the lower half than on the upper rudder panels, reducing loads on the vertical tail.
In comparison with the Il-76, a smaller cockpit for just three crew members should have helped designers to increase cargo volume. Chinese media stress that the aircraft is fatter than the Il-76, the skinniest of the strategic airlifters now in service, though the difference may not be great. Extra diameter should help in stowing outsize items such as helicopters and engineering vehicles, but the Y-20's cargo bay is shorter than the Il-76's.
The landing gear looks similar in layout to the A400M's, with three separate twin-wheel units on each side. Operating jet airlifters from truly unimproved surfaces is more spectacular than practicable, but the Y-20 should be as good as any of its contemporaries in this regard. Zhang and Li say it can operate from "relatively simple" fields. The nose wheel can pivot 90 deg., they add, giving a detail that suggests they have been well-briefed. (Zhang is on the faculty of the Command College of the Second Artillery and Li is of the National Defense University.)
The Y-20's overall size and weight are such that it could be an effective aircraft with D-30KP engines, which China already imports for its H-6K cruise-missile carrier. At least 20% more thrust will probably be available from the Chinese turbofan that Avic Engine is developing at Shenyang, possibly under the name WS-20. It is believed to be a derivative of the WS-10 Taihang fighter engine.
In contrast to the medium-bypass D-30KP, it will have a high bypass ratio, making it comparable with the CFM56, to which it may be related. The Y-20 must have entered flight testing with the D-30KP because the Chinese engine was not ready -- perhaps not fully developed or maybe just not trusted for early flights.
A more distant prospect is the CJ-1000, which Avic Commercial Aircraft Engines is developing for the Comac C919 airliner as an alternative to the CFM Leap-1 and with the aim of matching the performance of that Franco-U.S. engine. CJ-1000 development faces great technical challenges but is probably being well funded. With abundant thrust and, it is hoped, world-class efficiency, the CJ-1000 would transform the performance of the Y-20.
The prospective use of the Y-20 raises a contradiction that has become familiar as the Chinese navy has developed its amphibious assault capability and commissioned an aircraft carrier. China's government consistently downplays its interest in power projection. And, like all authoritarian states, it strongly promotes the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other countries. No wonder, then, that state media stress the humanitarian and disaster-relief role of the Y-20. Those will undoubtedly be prominent roles of the Y-20, internationally as well as domestically, helping China's image abroad.
As a tool of power projection, the Y-20 will probably not worry China's neighbors too much, says Andrew Davies, an analyst with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute in Canberra. Naval forces, which can transport much more than aircraft can, are likely to be of greater concern. "The Y-20 is part of the bigger picture of Chinese power projection, but it is a less significant element," he says. Also, China is such a big country that the aircraft has obvious internal uses.
The country does, however, place strong emphasis on airborne forces, as Russia does. China has built a rapid reaction force around the 15th Airborne Corps, which is able to respond to crises within China and around its borders. It has continued to develop specialized combat vehicles designed to be air-dropped. The most recent type is the Norinco ZBD03, derived from the Russian BMD-3 and armed with a 30-mm 2A72 cannon. The 15th Airborne also operates with its own helicopter force, so the Y-20's relatively high and wide cabin will be useful in ferrying helicopters with minimal dismantling and reassembly. China's airborne force has been restricted in its mobility by the small available force of Chinese Il-76s.
