"The Academy of Saint Cecilia takes its name from the Accademia di Santa Cecilia, in effect the musicians' union in seventeenth century Rome of which Corelli, Pasquini and Alessandro Scarlatti were members.
The sphere of interest is early music, interpreted loosely as music dating before 1825.
General Meetings are held twice yearly in central London. An admission ceremony is followed by a musical entertainment and refreshments.
Members receive twice yearly the Academy's news letter, VOX, detailing forthcoming events and members are invited to submit articles for publication.
It is hoped that in the future it will be possible to hold occasional meetings outside London and to arrange visits to places of relevant musical interest.
The Academy is a social and learned society and not an examining body.
From time to time the Chapter may award Honorary Fellowships in recognition of an individual's musical contribution. "

"In any profession, the move from student to practitioner is always difficult and if you are a talented young baroque musician, difficult might sometimes seem like impossible. The problem is one of experience: to work with a top orchestra you need experience, but you can't get the experience you need without working with a top orchestra. EUBO bridges this 'experience gap'.
Every year EUBO invites 100 talented young baroque musicians from across Europe to take part in one of the three-day audition courses. The 29 successful candidates, usually from at least 13 EU countries with an average age of 24 years, then spend six months together, training, touring and performing throughout Europe and further afield under the world's leading baroque specialists.
At the end of each year, the students of EUBO move on into the professional world and the whole process from audition to graduation, begins again. EUBO has been so successful in its mission that there are now former EUBO students in every major professional baroque ensemble in the world, including, for example, The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Les Musiciens du Louvre, English Concert, Europa Galante, Academy of Ancient Music, La Petite Bande, The King's Consort, Concerto Copenhagen and Les Arts Florissants.

The death of a major creative figure is always a strange moment in Hollywood. It's a time when, as with the passing of Tom Clancy on Tuesday, the legacy of that creator is remembered and lauded, as it should be. But it's also a time when more serious scrutiny of their work can be overlooked or pushed to the side. "I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it," Mark Twain quipped of someone whose life he apparently didn't approve of (but also didn't show up to decry).
So it goes for the death of creatives and the journalistic culture of appreciation that follows-- which this space and this paper have, of course, partaken in as well. A death is a time to remember what an actor, writer or artist gave us. More intense criticism can (and probably should) wait.
But the passing of Clancy at age 66 won't allow for the usual waiting period. A movie based on the novelist's signature character, "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit," is due out at the holidays. And movies due out at the holidays tend to engender a lot of scrutiny, criticism and jaded dismissals -- exactly the kind of thing that appreciations don't do.
Now, it should be noted that "Shadow Recruit" -- a prequel that stars Chris Pine and Kenneth Branagh and is directed by Branagh -- is not based on Clancy's writing. It's based on an original script from Adam Cozad and "Mission: Impossible III" scribe David Koepp. It in fact has a long series of writers and directors, back from when it was called "Moscow" and was to be helmed by "Under the Dome's" Jack Bender. So it's not a clear posthumous situation.
Still, Jack Ryan and Tom Clancy were inextricable, and the presence of a hero we have come to know well from Clancy's bestselling tales of Soviet villains and Colombian drug lords will, invariably, throw a recently departed author into the scrum of entertainment commerce a lot sooner than it otherwise might have.
That creates a number of tricky questions.
PHOTOS: Celebrities react on Twitter to Tom Clancy's death
Will audiences see "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" as an homage, a final farewell of sorts, and treat it more kindly as a result? Or does the fact that this is the last Clancy movie made while he was alive raise the bar?
Will critics, even unconsciously, now see the movie in the broader context of Clancy's work, and will that influence their writing? The good ones will say no and mean it, but human foibles work on us all.
Finally, how does criticism of the movie play now? Does a nice review get written off because the assumption is that the critic was going easy? Conversely, does a negative review seem insensitive? Maybe Clancy comes out above the fray in these latter assessments -- after all, he famously disliked what Hollywood did to his books anyway -- but praise and criticism for the Jack Ryan character are prima facie praise and criticism of Clancy.
POLL: Who is the best Jack Ryan?
Clancy's passing also puts studio Paramount Pictures in a tough spot. For all the attention that will come its way, Paramount is in a no-win position. To sit quietly is to not satisfy what a holiday release normally demands -- a well-timed barrage of posters, trailers, commercials and print and broadcast profiles.
But to do all of that, even to do it in a pretty routine fashion, is to risk looking like you have a deaf ear. Already, bloggers have jumped on the studio for the release of a poster Wednesday. The studio said it had long planned the release, which stands to reason given that the movie is coming out within a three-month window and that holiday releases are always looking for awareness before things get too noisy. But some raised an eyebrow just the same.
"Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" has a long history, as does the character himself, who goes back three decades and has brought joy to millions of people. It is fitting for an author whose legacy is this large that his creation will be experienced in movie theaters so shortly after his death. Still, that death makes the experience a bit more squishy.

There are servicemen buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery from most wars that the United States of America has fought in. Two men who served in the American Revolution have gravestones here.
There are servicemen buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery from most wars that the United States of America has fought in. Two men who served in the American Revolution have gravestones here. One is Job King, who was mentioned in an article printed in the Taunton Daily Gazette on July 21, 2011 with further information on his service available at www.TauntonGazette.com
The second Revolutionary War soldier with a stone in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery is Ephraim Woodward. He was born on May 16, 1752 in Taunton to Ephraim and Abigail Burt Woodward. Ephraim served frequently during the Revolutionary War.
His first tour of duty was 23 days as a private from Taunton with Captain Elisha Barney's 10th company of Colonel George Williams 3rd Bristol Company. This company marched to Warren by way of Rehoboth in response to an alarm in Rhode Island on Dec. 8, 1776.
During his next service Ephraim held the rank of corporal. The captain of this company was Ichabod Leonard, with John Hatheway as the colonel. Hatheway was the highest-raking serviceman from Berkley during the American Revolution. This company marched from Taunton to Tiverton, R.I. in April 1777 resulting in 20 days of service.
Woodward also served in Captain Joshua Wilbore's company, Colonel Josiah Whitney's regiment with 1 month 23 days of service ending in September 1777 marching from Taunton to Providence, R.I.
Next he was in a company with 32 days service beginning Sept. 29, 1777 that went on a secret expedition in Rhode Island.
He again served as a private enlisting in June 1778 with 17 days of service at Providence.
In March 1779 he served as corporal for 24 days at Rhode Island. Then again as a private he served for 4 days on an alarm, and 6 days in July 1780 marching to Tiverton. His final service was 8 days in August 1780 on another march to Tiverton.
Woodward published his intentions to marry Welthea Babbitt on Nov. 3, 1780 in Berkley. They married in Taunton on Feb. 8, 1781. Welthea Babbitt was born on Dec. 14, 1763 in Berkley. She was the daughter of Elkanah Babbitt and Hannah Briggs. Welthea was descended from one of the earliest settlers of Berkley, Edward Babbitt. Edward Babbitt was one of the first victims in the King Philip War having been killed on June 25, 1675. Tradition states that Babbitt had moved his family from his Berkley farm to the garrison on "the Green" in Taunton when the hostilities with the Indians began. At some point after arriving at the garrison it was discovered that some vital item had been left at home. Babbitt and his dog returned to Berkley for the item. On his way back to Taunton he sensed Indians nearby and climbed a tree. His hiding place was given away by his faithful dog that sat under the tree barking. The Indians shot and killed Babbitt. The original stone that was placed where Babbitt was buried is on display at Old Colony Historical Society. A boulder and plaque marks the spot at the edge of Berkley Street in Berkley where this event is said to have taken place.
Woodward died on Oct. 22, 1824 and his wife died on Feb. 17, 1837, both dying in Taunton. On the tall monument with Ephraim and Welthea Woodward are one of their eight children, Abigail, her husband Jonah Phillips and two of their children, Abby Frances and Jonah Alonzo Phillips. Abigail was born in Berkley and died in Taunton of dysentery. Jonah was born in Berkley and died of consumption as did his daughter Abby Frances. Jonah Alonzo died in Boston of phthisis and had been a machinist in Berkley.

MADRID (AFP) – Cristiano Ronaldo hit a hat-trick and Sergio Ramos got the other as Real Madrid beat Getafe 4-0 in their La Liga clash on Sunday.
All Real's goals came in the second-half but it still sees them trail arch-rivals Barcelona by 12 points while city neighbours Atletico are four points ahead of them with both sides still to play on Sunday.
Ronaldo took his total for the season to 21 and will come face-to-face with top-scorer Lionel Messi on Wednesday when Real and Barcelona meet in the Spanish Cup semi-final first leg.
Afterwards Jose Mourinho's assistant, Aitor Karanka, confirmed that the Portuguese star's substitution straight after his third goal was not due to injury.
"It was just a precaution he got his goals and played his part like all the team did, the side is improving in general and we looked solid today once we got the first goal," he said.
Antonio Adan was called up to replace Iker Casillas in goal after the club captain fractured a bone in his hand in midweek in the Cup game against Valencia, although new signing Diego Lopez from Sevilla will be the likeliest long-term replacement for the Spanish captain.
Xabi Alonso was also on the bench, perhaps with the Barca tie in mind, and his absence was noticeable as the game began slowly and without rhythm on a cold morning in the Spanish capital.
Miguel Angel Moya had to be sharp in the Getafe goal to block a Ronaldo free-kick on eleven minutes and then again to stop a shot from the same player eleven minutes later.
The team from the industrial town on the outskirts of the capital were keeping the home sides chances to a minimum and started to cause a few problems themselves on the break.
Adan had to block a Pablo Sarabia shot and then a Diego Castro header before the half-hour mark.
Next it was Madrid's turn to quickly break and Mesut Ozil saw a shot blocked after clever play down the left.
However, despite dominating possession, the home side could only muster a further Luka Modric shot before the interval as a well marshalled Getafe defence stood firm.
Jose Mourinho changed things around at the break introducing Sami Khedira for defender Raul Albiol and the German made an immediate impression.
His shot was acrobatically saved by Moya on 53 minutes and the keeper reacted quickly to deny Fabio Coentrao from the rebound for a great double save.
From the resulting corner Moya's luck ran out when Ramos stabbed home after the keeper was challenged by Ricardo Carvalho, Moya protested the legality of Carvalho's jump and was booked for his efforts.
Gonzalo Higuain then headed over as the lead appeared to settle Madrid into a style of play with a more attacking edge.
The second came on 62 minutes after a sweeping counter-attack saw Ozil play Ronaldo into space on the left and the Portuguese finished crisply to double the lead.
Three minutes later and from the same counter-attacking play Ronaldo made it three, finishing off a Higuain cross with a simple header.
Ronaldo grabbed his hat-trick from the penalty spot on 72 minutes after Alberto Lopo had fouled Modric and a minute later he went off to a standing ovation.

MOSCOW – Without warning, a celestial object that NASA described as a "tiny asteroid" streaked above Russia's Ural Mountains early Friday before exploding, creating a shock wave that rattled buildings, shattered glass and injured hundreds of people.
Many witnesses in Chelyabinsk said they saw a white trail across the sky, a bright flash and heard a loud explosion seconds before buildings in the eastern part of the city were jolted.
Scientists said it was the largest such event in more than a century, since a blast that leveled 800 square miles of forest in 1908, the so-called Tunguska event, also in Siberia.
Its occurrence on Friday, hours before scientists were anticipating the close flyby of a larger asteroid, known as 2012 DA14, marked an extraordinary coincidence. Scientists said the two events were not related.
"When I saw some white narrow cloud moving outside the window, I ran up to it and saw a huge blinding flash," Nadezhda Golovko, deputy head of Chelyabinsk Secondary School No. 130, said in a phone interview.
"It was the way I would imagine a nuclear bomb. At first, there was no sound at all, as if I suddenly went deaf. Then I started hearing loud sounds of something exploding, four or five, one after another, and then the school windows started breaking," she said.
More than 1,100 people had been treated for injuries by late Friday, with about 50 hospitalized, Marina Moskvicheva, a spokeswoman for the Chelyabinsk regional health department, told Interfax.
U.S. scientists estimated that the object measured about 45 feet across, weighed about 10 tons and was traveling about 40,000 mph.
It exploded about 15 miles above the surface, causing a shock wave that triggered the global network of listening devices that was established to detect nuclear test explosions.
The force of the explosion was between 300 and 500 kilotons, equivalent to a modern nuclear bomb, according to Bill Cooke, head of the Meteoroid Environment Office at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
NASA scientists believe the object originated from the asteroid belt, a vast collection of debris orbiting between Mars and Jupiter that consists of leftover bits from the formation of the solar system.
It probably traveled for a year before it burst into the atmosphere Friday.
Russian officials said the object, which they called a meteor, apparently entered the atmosphere over the north of Kazakhstan and flew over part of Russia before exploding over Chelyabinsk.
"We have deployed 28 stations in the area to monitor radiation levels, which up to now remain normal," said Vladimir Stepanov, chief of the Emergency Situations Ministry's crisis center.
He said that officials did not have sufficient time to issue a warning before the object entered the atmosphere.
The biggest piece to make it all the way to the ground was believed to have fallen into Chebarkul Lake about 60 miles west of Chelyabinsk, according to Russia-24, a government news television network. It showed video of a 24-foot-wide hole in the lake's thick ice.
Truck driver Andrei Chernov, who was heading to Chelyabinsk from nearby Kopeysk shortly after 9 a.m., said he saw what he thought was "a huge ball of fire silently rising all over Chelyabinsk."
"I thought some catastrophe was happening in the city," he said. "I started dialing my wife, but there was no connection."
Dozens of witnesses posted videos and photos to the Internet. Russia-24 aired images of the destruction at an indoor athletic stadium in Chelyabinsk, where at least two people were seen covered with blood among the debris. No one was killed, the report said.
Mikhail Yurevich, the regional governor of Chelyabinsk, estimated that the material damage had exceeded $33 million, Interfax reported.
Tatiana Borisevich, the science secretary of the Pulkovo Observatory in St. Petersburg, called the explosion over Chelyabinsk a unique study case for scientists. The last time scientists observed a similar-size object was in 2009 when one crashed in South Sudan. No remnants of it were ever retrieved, she said.
"Of course, we are sorry that so many people suffered from the explosion (Friday), but as scientists we are excited because now we have this unique study case using many existing videos of the incident to calculate its orbit to answer some questions we couldn't answer before," Borisevich said. "We also hope that now some parts of it can be found to determine its composition, whether it was stone, metal or ice."
Although as a rule big asteroids in space can be detected in advance, smaller objects can often enter Earth's atmosphere with little warning, Borisevich added.
The smaller asteroid was traveling in a very different trajectory and much faster than 2012 DA14, indicating they were not related, according to Paul Chodas, research scientist in the Near-Earth Object Program office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge, Calif.
"I would call this a tiny asteroid," Chodas said. "This is the largest recorded event since the Tunguska explosion in 1908."

ALBANY, N.Y. - The men's cross country team put on an impressive performance Saturday at the 39th Annual University of Albany Cross Country Invitational, finishing seventh of 27 teams. Leading the way for MIT was senior Eric Khatchadourian, who finished 11th of 220 harriers. Freshman Jake Ruzevick (17) and senior Kevin Brulois (20) also ran well for the Engineers, both finishing in the top 20. The University of New Hampshire won the 8k meter race by five seconds over New York University.
Despite strong performances by MIT's top three finishers, there was a significant drop-off in the other four runners. Sophomore Erik Stafl (66), freshman Trevor Rundell (96) and juniors Spencer Dudley (104) and Kevin DiGenova (107) all failed to place in the top 50.
The Engineers next compete in the NEWMAC Championships on October 29th at Smith College in Northampton, Mass.

Speculation time. Here goes... In the Ken confessional already shown which was spoiled to be in Russia, I'm pretty sure that he says at one point that "they have to beat at least one other team". That would not be something that you would say in a final 3 confessional, so I place that interview after this leg, the NEL.This week: NEL. Ken and Tina come in last but are spared. Thus the tearful confessional. Next week: Toni and Dallas manage to lose their passports. They were never spotted in Portland. They are unable to continue, and the final 3 are Nick/Starr, Andrew/Dan, and Ken/Tina. If Nick and Starr already knew about Toni and Dallas, it would explain why they are not very excited at the finish mat.Finale: Dan and Andrew take a risk on a flight, or miss a flight, and are automatically hours behind the other teams. Ken/Tina and Nick/Starr fight it out for the top spot, which is won by ... Ken and Tina. (I believe that would make them the oldest winning team, in a "season of firsts"). Dan and Andrew arrive in Portland and go downtown, but when they get to the cluebox they are told to just go to the pitstop since the race is over.
Andrew & Dan: Dumbest team to win. First team that thinks its cool to walk instead of run that wins.

If you check math books, the scalar part of a quaternion is usually at index 0 of a quaternion list, but in some code I've looked up, the scalar part is at index 3. Do there exist any practical benefits to either convention?
If you check math books, the scalar part of a quaternion is usually at index 0 of a quaternion list, but in some code I've looked up, the scalar part is at index 3. Do there exist any practical benefits to either convention?
I've seen both orderings as well. Indices aside, in math contexts you typically see <s,v> where s is the scalar part and v is the vector part (thus scalar being first). However in 3D graphics contexts, almost always .xyz is the vector part (not surprisingly) and .w is the scalar part (as we just stuff quats into normal 4-vectors which we deal with all the time). Even Shoemake used this symbology in his quaternion write-up.
The index is a derived thing. We graphics guys index vectors .xyzw not alphabetically .wxyz. Thus the scalar part being index 3.
Definitely a convention but not something you have to do. You could use .x for the scalar part and .yzw for the 3-vector part, though it's not as intuitive for graphics folks.
Also beyond conventions, and more to your question, the vector part is really and truly a 3D vector which is the axis of rotation. There are cases where you want to cross another 3D vector with this axis to generate an orthonormal basis or transform coordinates in some way. There you can intuitively write cross ( quat.xyz, v.xyz ) or similar. This would be less readable with the vector part in .yzw.

Too bad I haven't thought of this myself. Certainly, it's thanks to the shaders, we have this scalar part = w convention. I've written an expression template library (as TVMET is slowly starting to become too old for my taste) and needed to know at what index to put the scalar part.
Be careful with expression templates, as new C++11 features like `auto` and `decltype` can really ruin your day.
* Animating Rotation with Quaternion Curves
See the 2nd paragraph at the top of page 4. And I'm not saying this is the first such paper to use .xyz for vector and .w for scalar. Might be, but don't know for sure.
But (GLSL) shaders had their precursors too, if you can call them precursors. Maybe one of those early shading languages influenced the paper.

Mitzi Roden holds her son Aaron Edwards, 14, in the House Visitors gallery. The House passed several claims bills, including a $15 million for Edwards who was permanently injured at birth, allegedly due to malpractice at a Lee County hospital. [Scott Keeler, Times]
A Sunrise man who was paralyzed by a speeding cop 14 years ago is nearly a signature away from receiving a $10.75 million payment from the Broward County Sheriff's Office.
The Florida House of Representatives passed a claims bill for Eric Brody, now 32, approving the compensation package more than six years after a jury awarded his family $30.9 million.
The bill, which passed the Senate on the first day of session as a priority of Senate President Mike Haridopolos, R- Merritt Island, will head to the desk of Gov. Rick Scott if the two chambers can agree on an appropriate amount of attorney's fees and costs.
The Senate caps the fees at about $2.7 million, while the House version caps the costs at $400,000.
"It should be enough to take care of him for the rest of his life," said Chuck Brody, Eric's father. "That's the main thing."
According to Florida law, legislators have to approve certain judgments against government entities in excess of $200,000.
Brody has been wheelchair-bound since 1998, after a speeding Broward County Sheriff's deputy plowed into the car he was driving, causing severe brain injury. His family has been traveling to Tallahassee for the past four years, trying to collect a $30.9 million jury award. Each year, the Legislature has ended its session without passing a claims bill for Brody.
The bill passed 107-7.
Several other claims bills proposals passed the House on Monday:
Among the proposals that passed: A bill providing relief for the family of Juan Carlos Rivera, who was stabbed to death at Coral Gables Senior High in 2009. The bill would award the family $1.1 million dollars.
Rivera, 17, and classmate Andy Rodriguez were in a schoolyard fight when Rodriguez reached for a knife. Rodriguez was later found guilty of second-degree murder with a weapon, and sentenced to 40 years in prison and 10 years of probation.
Lawyers for Rivera's family claimed the school district was negligent for having left students unsupervised.
The Miami-Dade School Board and the Rivera family agreed to a $1.8 million settlement, $700,000 of which has already been paid out.
The House also passed a bill to authorize $15 million to the family of 14-year-old Aaron Edwards who was permanently injured at birth, allegedly due to malpractice at a Lee County hospital.

If you somehow missed all the fuss, Sports Illustrated, the country's pre-eminent sports magazine, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its swimsuit issue, now on sale at newsstands and checkout lines everywhere.
That's 50 years of school librarians pulling out their hair.
Fifty years of mothers running to the mailbox, hoping to intercept delivery before the kids get home. And dad.
Fifty years of being bombarded by letters and threats of cancellation.
Fifty years of one-piece swimsuits, two-piece suits, topless suits, see-through suits, sequined suits, no suits, painted-on suits, suits no one would ever wear except in an SI swimsuit shoot, and every other variation possible for a few inches of cloth.
It's also been 50 years of hypocrisy.
Sports Illustrated has been talking out of both sides of its collective face, if not for 50 years then for the last 30-40 years that women have truly arrived on the sports scene. SI champions women's sports. It carries the flag for Title IX. It promotes the ideal of judging women by their feats, not their (pick a body part).
Then in February it puts out the swimsuit issue, a huge contradiction. Actually, it's not limited to February. The swimsuit issue never goes away. It's year-round in the magazine and, especially, the website, offering swimsuit calendars, advertisements, videos and photos of individual models, videos of swimsuit shoot locations, videos of model interviews, videos of artists painting suits on bodies, etc. At SI, as elsewhere, money trumps ideals, and the swimsuit issue is big money. SI is so very PC in every other way, but it is still the old men's club when it comes to pinups, except with more creativity.
For the current issue, Sports Illustrated sent Kate Upton, its ubiquitous cover girl, up in the air for a zero-gravity flight to see the effects that weightlessness would have on its model as she floated around in a bikini — purely in the name of science, of course. It's pretty sophomoric stuff, something you expect giggling frat boys would do if they could afford a padded airplane, a pilot and Upton's fee.
Who's running this magazine, Adam Sandler?
If the same energy that is spent on dreaming up ways to photograph women in swimsuits were focused on science, we'd all own electric cars and cold fusion would be old news.
Sports Illustrated went even one step further than zero-gravity photo shoots this year by putting Barbie — yes, the doll — on the cover wrap, in a bikini, with the headline, "The Doll that Started it All." Anyone have any idea what that means? This is the in-your-face reply from SI and Mattel to all those complaints about the sexualization of teen girls and the unrealistic expectations created by the Barbie body. Hence, the name of the ad campaign: "Unapologetic." A better name: "Creepy." Barbie also gets a four-page section inside the magazine that's titled "Anything is possible," and concludes with this sendoff: "Thank you! Here's to women of every generation — for breaking boundaries, living life in their own fashion and continuing to prove that anything is possible. — Barbie."
According to Mattel, the toy company that makes Barbie, the magazine appearance "gives Barbie and her fellow legends an opportunity to own who they are, celebrate what they have done and be #unapologetic." Whatever. It's really about cash despite such high-minded prose. Be sure to rush out and buy a limited-edition SI Barbie on sale at Target.
The campaign has triggered a public backlash, but certainly SI and Mattel anticipated (and hoped for) all of that in the same way Miley Cyrus anticipated the reaction to her MTV twerking performance. Any attention is good attention. Reuters reported a headline on Mommyish blog: "The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Will Feature Barbie, So Your Daughter Can Feel Bad Too."
Anyone who checks the website or magazine to read about his or her favorite athletes and teams can't miss the intentionally sexy distractions or the mixed message. There are photos and come-check-out-this-girl headlines all over the page (one headline for a video: "We defy you to try and maintain a productive workday after watching it."). Good luck finding the sports. In a single day, the home page featured 20 links to swimsuit-related features, most accompanied by photos.
Nice. If this is where the magazine is after 50 years, where can it go the next 50 years?

As if this country didn't have reasons galore to support an all-out alternative energy effort, the recent circuses surrounding the appearances of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at the United Nations only amplified the need.
It says something for the state of the world that two guys, who would be no more than obscure minor-nation government hacks were it not for their vast oil resources, can come before a global forum and prance about in the media spotlight, insulting U.S. leaders and acting as if they were political visionaries.
Between them, they control a good chunk of the world oil supply and rake in billions of dollars that we and other nations pay for that oil. Ahmadinejad, whose country is the fourth largest oil producer, smiles coyly and plays a cat-and-mouse game with the threat of his country's nuclear program, while Chavez, whose country is the fifth largest oil producer, spouts idiocies and can't even keep order within his own borders.
That the two have become allies in an effort to thwart the influence of the U.S. in the Mideast is even more disturbing. If this Mutt and Jeff team should scheme, for whatever reason, to tighten the oil spigots, it could send yet more shockwaves through world economies.
Over 30 years after the Arab oil embargo nearly brought this nation to its knees, as we've subsequently endured one supply crisis after another, and have watched prices go up and up and up, we are now more dependent than ever on imported oil. This year alone, it is estimated the Mideast nations will realize nearly $350 billion in oil revenues.
Much too late in the game, the U.S. is still in thrall to petroleum, and despite all the rhetoric and political grandstanding about ending this country's "addiction" to imported oil, we're making little more than a token effort to resolve the situation by developing consistent, reliable alternate energy supplies.
One would have thought it was Christmas, birthday, and the Easter Bunny combined over the last couple or three weeks as gas prices fell below $2.25. Hardly a TV news show aired that didn't feature a motorist at the pump, exulting over the price drop (those who wondered if it might have something to do with upcoming elections were, of course, only churlish malcontents).
So, reverting to our Mad Magazine Alfred E. Neumann "What — me worry?" mode, we fill our tanks with "bargain" gasoline and are once more lulled into complacency, giving nary a thought to how vulnerable we are to the next Mideast crisis, or the caprices of despots and crackpots like Ahmadinejad and Chavez, or the hundreds of billions of dollars we've spent militarily trying to protect our interest in Mideast oil.
It is a sad commentary that more than three decades have gone by since this need was so forcefully made apparent, and that this country has not been able to muster the will and commitment to do whatever was necessary to insure that our vital energy needs would not be left to the whims of those who hate us.

yes and the faster you go the deeper you can go..but when you do loose the pressure, you have to go a little less broad..you do lose a lot of speed fast tho..to go even deeper you can start looping the kite, but that is not always super good on long lines and big kites....wdric wrote:This reference to pressure is actually a reference to the wind and staying in it!coleman wrote:i have heard in an interview several riders talk of keeping pressure in the kite going downwind. i assume there is an optimal angle where the kite maintains pressure while flying at the maximum angle downwind.
You go faster when your in it than the guy who didn't gybe at the right time and wasn't taking notice where all the little gusts of wind are
We were thinking of adding a..well I do not know what to call it..it is basically a stall mechanism..would be simple enough...two side struts and create a Y, and have a line go down that you can pull on to deepen the profile of the kite. It might give you two advantages..you could get a boost of speed and power as the kite catches up, and going really deep it could potentially avoid having the kite fly forward too much. I have not seen anyone use it yet.
Kites are very susceptible to that type of pressure though so it might just fold LOL.
It got lost last year in my mad sprint to finish school. Might pick it up again now.

The Texans improved to 8-1 with their 13-6 win over the Bears.
But the best thing they did was prove beyond a shadow of a doubt they could be mudders.
Even though their defense has taken the fore from a offense that put up good fantasy numbers in years past, it was hard to describe the Texans as a hard team.
But then they went into Soldier Field and out-Bearsed the Bears.
They threw for 95 yards. And won.
From creating four turnovers to running with authority, the Texans played the way we have come to expect the top NFC teams to play this year.
That's going to serve them well come playoff time, as it's a little hard to declare too many of their AFC opponents as tough or physical, at least to the degree the Texans showed.
Here are five more things we learned on Sunday Night Football:
1. One of the smartest signings new Bears GM Phil Emery made was bringing in backup quarterback Jason Campbell.
He's a smart and steady player, and even though he didn't lead a comeback, there's at least a floor you know he's not crashing through.
The Bears watched Caleb Hanie take them from 7-3 to 7-7 in four starts last season, and having a player the caliber of Campbell could prevent such a skid again.
Of course, he's the only other quarterback on the roster, with Matt Blanchard on the practice squad. That could change, but having Campbell is a good investment.
2. Coaches can be stubborn.
It's raining, it's cold, it's Chicago.
And they keep trying to throw.
Teams that invested so heavily in running backs Matt Forte and Arian Foster took too long to decide to use them.
To their credit, the Texans figured it out first, which explains some things.
3. Even before he was concussed, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was off.
He finished the first half 7-of-14 for 40 yards, with two interceptions. The conditions had a lot to do with that, and Brandon Marshall didn't help by dropping one in the end zone.
But part of what makes Cutler good is that he'll play stubborn at times, and not hesitate to throw into a tight spot.
It's a good trait, except when it isn't.
4. The stud play of the night might have been Robbie Gould's second quarter field goal.
In a driving rain, Gould hit a knuckling 51-yarder.
Solider Field is a bad place to kick anyway, with a chewed up turf along with the wind, but Gould hit a big-time shot. It's very difficult to get a solid plant foot there, and while Gould's kick wasn't beautiful, it did work.
5. The Texans are a good football team.
But they might be better off if no one noticed.
You could easily argue their three worst games of the year were all in prime time, including getting their doors blown off by the Packers earlier on SNF and a too-narrow win over the Jets on Monday Night Football.

Brian Cohen
Vice Chancellor for Technology and University CIO
Brian Cohen joined The City University of New York (CUNY) as its Chief Information Officer (CIO) in December 2001. As the Vice-Chancellor for Technology and University CIO, Cohen directs the Office of Computing and Information Services (CIS), which supports the enterprise IT needs of the University and houses its data center. He is also responsible for developing the University's technology strategy and providing leadership and direction with respect to the operation of CUNY's technology systems, core business applications, voice and data networks, IT Security, data center operations as well as the implementation of the University's enterprise resource planning project (CUNYfirst).
Cohen has taken multiple steps to ensure that CUNY has state-of-the art, cost-effective technology in areas as disparate as student registration to emergency management. In addition to bringing the Blackboard learning system to CUNY Cohen has developed and spearheaded CUNYfirst – a major multi-year effort to replace over 25 disparate, antiquated university systems that support student administration, financial management and human resource management with one fully integrated solution. He was also instrumental in developing CUNY Alert, a customized, campus-centered emergency messaging system built upon a single university-wide platform.
To develop and coordinate technology strategy, Cohen co-chairs the IT Steering Committee composed of campus CIOs. The Committee meets monthly to develop technology strategy across CUNY campuses and has been key in reducing IT costs through aggregate purchases of enterprise services.
Within CIS, Cohen has established the following offices to better serve the CUNY community: a Chief Information Security Officer to ensure that CUNY campuses have the procedures, tools and training necessary to ensure a secure online experience; a Project Management Office to support the development of enterprise solutions through the use of formal project management methods and tools; and a Technology Training Office that coordinates IT professional development activities including IT Leadership Professional Training for all CUNY staff.
Prior to joining CUNY, Cohen served as Deputy Commissioner in the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) from 2000 to 2001.

Great job! I think it's so funny how shaping sandwiches makes them so much more appetizing to little hands. We've been using the goldfish bread at our house to make lunchtime easier.
Happy Birthday! And congratulations on surviving another year of parenting!

Intel Claims DRM'd Chip Is Not DRM, It's Just Copy Protection
from the um,-that's-the-same-thing dept
Intel Insider is a service that enables consumers to enjoy premium Hollywood feature films streamed to their PC in high quality 1080P high definition. Currently this service does not exist because the movie studios are concerned about protecting their content, and making sure that it cannot be stolen or used illegally. So Intel created Intel insider, an extra layer of content protection.Um. So it is DRM. You just said it's not, and then described DRM. Content protection is DRM. I'm not sure exactly what Intel thinks it's doing here. If they say it's not DRM and then explain how it is DRM, they think people will think it's not DRM? If you're going to include DRM, just admit that it's DRM. Then we can argue about whether or not it's smart (and, no, it's not).

One of the most basic dilemmas that photojournalists ever face is the conflict between making photographs and putting the camera down to help people in need. This is one person's opinion.
This column appeared in News Photographer Magazine in February 2010.
By John Long
"Years ago, Martin Luther King gave similar advice to a photographer from Life magazine. When sheriff's deputies were shoving children to the ground during a civil rights march in Selma, Alabama, the photographer stopped taking pictures and went to the aid of the children. King heard about the incident and reminded him: 'The world doesn't know this happened, because you didn't photograph it. I'm not being cold-blooded about it, but it is so much more important for you to take a picture of us getting beaten up than for you to be another person joining in the fray.'"- Ron F. Smith, Ethics in Journalism
In one minute or so, more than 100,000 people died. Thousands more were injured and countless buildings collapsed. Haiti was a disaster. It was absolutely imperative that photojournalists cover the death and destruction so that the world could see and respond.
And yet, the number of injuries was so pervasive, almost anyone present as journalist was probably called on to render aid. This is a basic ethical conflict faced by journalists: Do I put the camera down and help or do I remain the objective observer? This is a conflict faced by visual journalists during Katrina, in Vietnam, in Iraq, in the wake of the tsunami. It is the dilemma faced by Kevin Carter when he photographed a starving child in Africa.
Watching Dr. Sanjay Gupta on CNN seemed to encapsulate the issue: He is a trained brain surgeon and though he was in Haiti as a representative of CNN to report on the situation, when the need arose, he practiced medicine. What we can take from his response is what seems to be the response all journalists should practice: balance. You shoot and if need be, you also render aid.
The National Press Photographers Association has its Humanitarian Award intended to support this concept of putting down the camera in order to help victims. And yet NPPA has a much more extensive set of awards for those who photograph these tragedies, and rightly so. This is what we do. This is our purpose: to witness life and share our vision as objectively as possible with the world. It is our calling and our life.
I have said in my speeches for the last 20 years that one of the guiding principles of how I chose to live is this: If I have placed myself in a position where I can help, I feel I am morally obligated to help. I am a human being first and a journalist second. I have to be able to sleep at night. Not everyone agrees with me, but so be it.
I am a professional witness. I go to fires and accidents, and wars and earthquakes and hurricanes, to record what is taking place so accurate information can be shared with my fellow citizens. We cannot make rational choices for our society unless we have accurate information on which to base our choices. It is important work, and yet there are times I have felt like a vulture, benefiting from the suffering of others; I have won my share of spot news awards and I have felt the conflict. But I am a photojournalist, not a minister or a doctor.
There are some cultures where people do not want their photographs made because they feel the photographer is stealing their souls. I have never felt as though I was stealing a soul but I have felt that I have incurred some obligation to the subjects of my photography – that by intruding on someone's existence, I now have created some sort of obligation. Some price needs to be paid. The cost for making a photograph of someone in trouble or pain is my commitment to be honest in my portrayal of this person. I owe my subject my honesty. If we single out one human being to be photographed, we owe something back to this individual.
Photographs do not show trends, they show individuals. They are here, they are now; they show one victim, one moment. Reporters tell us that more than 100,000 people died. The photojournalist shows us one person who died. Reporters tell us millions of people are in pain. Photojournalists show us one person in pain. It is the singleness of our work that emotionally affects our viewers and at the same time causes these same viewers to call us vultures.
Kevin Carter lived this conflict. His photograph of a dying child won the Pulitzer Prize while at the same time he was vilified for not helping the child. Soon after receiving his Pulitzer, and suffering from depression, he committed suicide.
The answer seems to date back the Greek philosophers: moderation in all things. Understand your priorities, your values. If I have placed my self in a situation where I can help, I feel morally obligated to help. And yet there is great value in my documentation. I must photograph. I will make photographs until I am the only one who can provide aid. Then my humanity must take precedence. It is a matter of values: Every photographer has to find their own set of values. In my life my family comes first, my church second, and my profession third.
You shoot, and then you help. It is not a choice; it is a balance.
Retired from more than three decades at The Hartford Courant, Long is chairperson of NPPA's Ethics & Standards Committee and author of NPPA's DVD "Ethics in the Age of Digital Photography." Write to him at [email protected]

Best Kids Parties: Fairy Garden Tea Party
Name: Isobel (3)
Location: Perth, Western Australia
Like most 3-year-olds, Isobel loves fairies so it was a given that her birthday party would be a Fairy Garden Tea Party.
We got beautiful vintage invitations from a friend's new business Billy Lids invites to start the ball rolling. Next, Isobel chose a pink rainbow cake with ruffle icing from a Donna Hay kids party magazine and I made the cake bunting to go on top. She loved it!
There was lots of pink of course - paper lanterns, pink jelly, streamers and teacup biscuits. I found the instructions for the marshmallow toadstools on Pinterest and loved how they turned out. We made biscuits in the shape of teapots and tiaras and the kids decoarted them. A fairy came to do face painting and we played musical statues and pass the fairy wand. The kids had a fabulous time and I enjoyed putting it all together!
Thanks Julia!

Wiki design suggestions
From Openmoko
This is brain storming on how to improve the look and feel of the OpenMoko wiki. Some of this may be subjective; different people have different tastes. Ideally however, if we can change the design in a way that we all find aesthetically pleasing to a greater degree, then perhaps we have both made the world a little more pleasant to see, and also improved the brand capital of OpenMoko.
- Increase the default font size in edit boxes.
- Make the font size just a hair bigger on the sidebar - less than any more than a bit
- perhaps increase the bottom margins of the boxes on the left by just a hair...
- or maybe try removing the boxes, or just having a vertical line on the right...

ERC Personal Endurance Classic
October 8, 2016 @ 6:30 am$15
The primary purpose of this event is to promote cardiovascular fitness in a safe, relaxed and friendly environment. Many individuals will run/walk a distance beyond that they have previously achieved or set a personal goal that is meaningful to them. It is a personal thing and not a competition with other participants. There are no trophies or prize money to be handed out but we do offer the option to purchase a commemorative plaque that is personalized with your name and accomplishment (miles).
This event was started 30+ years ago by some of the founding fathers of the Erie Runners Club to test the endurance of some of the local runners. It still stands today as a personal test of ones endurance whether it be running or walking or any combination thereof because of the tireless efforts of Rick Ferko and his long time volunteers. Rick's battle with cancer ended shortly after the 2006 Endurance Run.

****Please refer to the entries we've kept for direction***
Beyond just field trips, we are a company that helps mothers of young children reconnect with who they are, and what they love to do. Our new brand needs to reflect the stylish, intelligent women who participate in our adventures. Can you help us create something SIMPLE, bold, feminine, beautiful?
Mommy Adventure Club, http://www.mommyadventureclub.com
We would like our logo/brand image to communicate that we are something special just for moms. Outings, fields trips, girls night outs, speakers panels,and special spa events. Some events are attended WITH children, some WITHOUT. Currently based in Los Angeles. We are developing a content rich membership website, with long term plans to publish a book. We have provided some inspiration below, but we are more interested in YOUR interpretation. Text, something abstract, an illustration...we're open to your ideas. We would also like one element of the logo that could stand alone to be printed on tees, hats, bags, etc without the text. This logo will also form the foundation for our website. We are proud to provide a link to you (and your company) on our website, as well. Thank you so much for your creativity!
Mommy Adventure Club- Needs to be simple
- Bold, feminine, beautiful, fun, adventure, travel
- Two possibilities for inspiration- our current "theme" at our website (graphic flowers), and 1930's vintage travel posters (google it, or check out the link below). We like the clean lines, gorgeous imagery, the unique vintage colors, and strong stylish fonts. Another example is fruit crate labels from the same period. http://mommyadventureclub.com. OR
- http://www.travelbrochuregraphics.c…pallo1.htm
- Adaptable- we'll stamp it on everything from business cards to bottles to books.
- File formats that can be used for print, web, etc (vector?). Will need to immediately use it in emails and place a printing order.
- Logos we like on logopond:http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/11923http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/29876http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/22684http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/7974http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/20756http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/12040http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/23057
- No images of women shopping, in high heels, overtly sexy, etc (These are real women who are enjoying a relaxing or fun experience)
- "Cute", "pretty", "baby", "kids", "sexy", "girly"
- Not fussy, complicated- needs to be bold and simple
- No baby pastels or overly bright colors
- Cartoon-like illustrations

I listened to songs of Hungarian gypsy band Kalyi Jag. I liked their song My guitar/Gitárom. I don't know what language they sing, Hungarian or Romanian and I couldn't find lyrics anywhere. Also I couldn't find any video so I can't post it here. Please, if you know lyrics or can write it by ear (even if only a part) post it here, I'm keen on gypsy music and i need it so much.
Gypsy Hungarian/Romanian song lyrics

Pending moderation
Hi ЦойЖив,
I've searched after the band, but I didn't find much. I find their album (Cigányszerelem/Gypsy love) which contains the song My Guitar. After listening to it, all I can tell you is most of their songs are in gypsy language. Probably in Beás dialect.
Some of their songs contains Hungarian text too.
I also find a few song text too, I'm gonna upload them here:

This weekend, starting tomorrow I'm going to take a bunch of surveys out into the world and find out who knows about how Yarn bombing is perceived. I have two different surveys, one to see if people already know about Yarn Bombing and if they do not, what they think it is, whether its violent or silly or stupid or a great idea and then another survey giving the definition and then asking what they think of it knowing what it is. I really think these surveys will show how much awareness there is right now and if, when people actually know what it is, they are interested in either seeing it or doing it themselves. I realize that the survey questions I posted on this blog are a little difficult so I have put up a survey monkey survey instead, the post got a lot of views but only a few answers.
To find out if Yarn Bombing is going to increase in popularity I think its really important to figure out if people actually know about it. The biggest thing that I've found through my research and personal experience is that people don't really know about this craft. The people I tell seem interested in at least seeing examples and some really want to start working on tags. I think doing these surveys will not only give a feel for how much people know about Yarn Bombing but also spread awareness and curiosity. I hope the busy people in Pittsburgh and the University of Cincinnati will give me a bit of their time and fill out my surveys, otherwise its back to the drawing board for a new way to research Yarn Bombing. If you have any suggestions feel free to comment.
In other news I have seen a lot more graffiti on campus and not just sloppy tags but really nice looking pieces. If this is an indication that there are creative people wanting to start street art it may also mean that the tags I'll be putting up may continue having positive reviews and reactions. I really need to knit more.
Please take the survey I have at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RVQJDWG it'll help me get a better feel for how many people know about Yarn Bombing (its only eight questions)
Wish me luck!

The Jezebel inbox receives all sorts of interesting messages, from helpful tips to furious gibberish. Often, the missives strike us as poetic — in the chaos of the mailbag, we can find a sense of peace. As such, we have taken it upon ourselves to let some messages grow into the poetry they are meant to be. And we will do so by presenting them as Haikus. In this edition, someone is mad about our Fifty Shades of Grey coverage.
Wow, can't we just enjoy

"Mellow Jazz Loop" is a relaxed, no-frills jazz-quartet piece made using somber acoustic piano, subtle upright bass, gentle vibraphone and acoustic drums. It has an overall melancholic and bittersweet tone that is enhanced by the vibes harmonizing with the piano.
Most of the instruments stay static in their positions while the vibes pan across the stereo field through the duration. The piece is made more versatile with its ability to be looped. It would be ideal for projects looking for basic jazz music assets with a laid-back, mellow demeanor that may need to meet a varying timeline.Thanks for listening.
