Medal record
Alicia Marie Quinn (née Sacramone) (/əˈliːʃə ˌsækrəˈmoʊni/; born December 3, 1987) is a retired American artistic gymnast.
Sacramone began gymnastics at the age of eight, started competing in the elite ranks in 2002 and joined the U.S. national team in 2003. At US National Championships from 2004 to 2008, she won twelve medals, including four golds on vault and two golds on floor exercise. At World Championships from 2005 to 2007, she won seven medals, including a floor exercise gold in 2005 and a team gold in 2007. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she won a team silver medal. In 2010, Sacramone made a comeback by winning the National Championship on Vault. Later in 2010 at the World Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands, she won the World Title on Vault as well.[5] Her gold gave her a total of nine medals overall, joining Shannon Miller and Nastia Liukin as the U.S. athletes with the most medals at the gymnastics world championships until the US team won gold in the team finals at the 2011 World Championships. Though she was injured and could not compete, she still received a medal as an official member of the U.S. team,[6] earning her tenth World medal, making her the second most decorated U.S. gymnast in the history of the World Championships and second to Simone Biles, who won 14 World medals.
Sacramone has become noteworthy for supportive leadership of her teammates as well as outspoken remarks in interviews.[7][8]

Personal life[edit]
Sacramone was born on December 3, 1987 in Boston, Massachusetts[1][9] to parents Fred, an orthodontist, and Gail Sacramone, a hairstylist and salon owner.[10] She is of Italian descent.[11] Sacramone has an older brother, Jonathan.[10] She graduated from Winchester High School in 2006.[12] She announced her engagement to NFL quarterback Brady Quinn in August 2013 and they married in March 2014.[13][14] On February 10, 2016, Sacramone announced she and her husband are expecting their first child together, due in August.
Early career[edit]
Sacramone began studying dance at the age of five[11] and started training gymnastics three years later, at age eight, in 1996.[10][15] She began her gymnastics career with Romanian coaches Mihai and Silvia Brestyan at Gymnastics and More club and continued to train with them after they opened their own training facility in Ashland. The Brestyans continue to serve as Sacramone's coaches for the rest of her career.[9][16]
Senior career[edit]
Sacramone's results improved immensely in 2003, when she placed 14th in the all-around and won a bronze medal on the Floor and place 4th on Vault at the 2003 U.S. Nationals, earning a spot on the U.S. National gymnastics team. She also participated in her first international competition in 2003, the Cup in France, where she placed fourth on the floor exercise and ninth on vault.
In 2004, Sacramone earned a spot on the US team for the Pacific Alliance Championships in Hawaii. She contributed several scores to help the team to a gold medal finish and won the individual vault title. Her strong performances caught the attention of the media, who began to consider her a legitimate contender for the American team at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.[11][17]
However, at the 2004 U.S. Nationals, an error-filled performance dashed Sacramone's hopes of an Olympic berth. Although she tied with Mohini Bhardwaj for the silver medal on the vault,[18] she finished in 19th place overall and did not qualify to the Olympic Trials. She also suffered an injury to her back and required time off to recover.[8][11] Sacramone continued competing in late 2004 as a member of the U.S. national team, and was assigned to several international meets, including the Pan American Individual Event Championships, where she won the vault and floor exercise titles.[19] At the World Cup Finals in Birmingham, England, Sacramone attracted media attention again when she upset reigning Olympic vault champion Monica Roşu to take first place on the event.
At the 2005 U.S. National Championships, Sacramone won the individual titles on floor and vault, scoring a 9.9 on the latter event, and placed third on the balance beam and fourth in the all-around. She was named to the American team with Nastia Liukin and Chellsie Memmel for the 2005 World Championships in Melbourne, Australia, where she won a gold medal on floor and placed third on the vault. She also defended her World Cup vault title successfully in 2005, winning the event at both the World Cup qualifier in Ghent and the finals in Paris.[9]
Sacramone continued to compete for the U.S. team in 2006, participating in the 2006 World Championships in Aarhus, where she won a silver medal with the American squad and an individual silver on the vault. She defended her vault and floor titles at that year's U.S. Nationals.[9]
In September 2006, Sacramone enrolled in Brown University and joined the school's gymnastics team. During the 2006–2007 season, she juggled a full NCAA competition schedule with her elite training at Brestyan's. She was the first female American gymnast since Kelly Garrison in the late 1980s to combine full-time university studies and NCAA competition with elite gymnastics.[20]
During Sacramone's first year with the Brown Bears, she broke the school's records for the highest scores in the all-around, vault and floor exercise. She was named ECAC Rookie of the Year[21] and swept the Ivy League Classic, becoming the first gymnast to win all five events and posting the highest all-around total ever recorded at the competition.[22] She qualified as an individual on the floor exercise for the NCAA National Championships, the second Brown gymnast ever to do so, but did not advance beyond the preliminary round.[21]
At the 2007 U.S. National Championships, Sacramone competed on three events, choosing to skip the uneven bars. She defended her title on the vault, placed second on the floor exercise and third on the balance beam. Following Nationals, Sacramone was named to the American team for the World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany.[23]
During the qualifying round at the World Championships, Sacramone performed well, qualifying for event finals in floor and vault and contributing to the top qualifying position of the American team. Sacramone also posted a score on beam that would have been high enough to qualify her to the beam event final. However, due to the FIG rule only allowing two athletes per country to participate in each event final, and due to the fact that team mates Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson qualified ahead of her with higher scores, Sacramone was unable to compete for a beam medal. For the team final, Sacramone competed on vault, beam, and floor, earning 15.750, 15.600 and 15.325 respectively. When the American team faltered after a difficult beam rotation, in which two gymnasts made major errors, Sacramone gathered the team for a pep talk to refocus them for floor.[8][24] The American team earned 184.400 points overall which was good enough to secure the gold medal ahead of the Chinese and Romanians.[25][26]
In event finals, Sacramone received a bronze medal for her vault performance and a silver on floor behind teammate Shawn Johnson.[27] She was visibly upset by her performances, and fought back tears after floor and during the flower and medal ceremonies.[28]
Both the Brestyans and the U.S. National Team Coordinator, Marta Karolyi, suggested that Sacramone forgo NCAA competition during the 2007–2008 season to concentrate on her preparations for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.[20] In September 2007, Sacramone announced that she was "turning pro" and signed with an agent, forfeiting her remaining NCAA eligibility.[15]
2008 pre-Olympics[edit]
In the 2007–2008 academic year, Sacramone continued to work with the Brown Bears gymnastics team as a volunteer assistant coach. She remained a student at Brown, concentrated in sociology, but took the spring 2008 semester off to prepare for the Olympics.[29][30][31]
Sacramone competed well at the 2008 U.S. National Championships in Boston and the Olympic Trials in Philadelphia. On July 19, she was named to the 2008 Olympic Team for Beijing.[32]
2008 Summer Olympics[edit]
At the Olympics, Sacramone performed on three events in both the qualifying and team final rounds of competition. In the team final, Sacramone posted a 15.675 score on vault but fell on both floor (14.125) and beam (15.1), incurring 1.70 points in deductions.[33][34]
In the day following the Olympic team finals, Sacramone was largely blamed for the American team's silver medal placement, and was the subject of negative commentary in media reports.[35][36] Sacramone herself took responsibility for the results, noting, "It's kinda hard not to blame myself."[36] However, analysts in the gymnastics community, including University of Georgia head coach Suzanne Yoculan, former Olympian John Roethlisberger and International Gymnast editor Paul Ziert, noted that the American team started the competition at a difficult point deficit to the Chinese and that mathematically, Sacramone could not have been personally or exclusively responsible for the U.S. team's results.[34][37][38] Sacramone also received support from the American team. In one interview, teammate Bridget Sloan stated, "We've all made mistakes. It's just really hard to see her go and leave these Olympics knowing that she thinks it's her fault. It is definitely not and we've all been encouraging her very much."[39]
Individually, Sacramone placed third overall on vault in the preliminary round of competition and qualified to the individual event final on that event. In the vault final, Sacramone placed fourth[40] behind Hong Un Jong, Oksana Chusovitina and Cheng Fei (somewhat controversially, since Cheng fell on her second vault). She also placed fourth overall on beam in preliminaries behind Li Shanshan of China and teammates Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson, but did not advance to the eight-person event finals due to the "two per country" rule.[41]
2008 temporary retirement[edit]
In interviews, Sacramone alluded to retiring after the 2008 Beijing Olympics.[42] She confirmed her retirement in February 2009 during an interview at a Boston Bruins game.[43]
2009–2010 return to training and competition[edit]
On August 6, 2009, Sacramone announced her return to training for elite competition.[44] Her return was slowed, however, after having shoulder surgery earlier that year.
On July 24, 2010, Sacramone competed in the CoverGirl Classic. She placed first in both beam and vault, not competing on floor or bars. Her return to competitive form was judged dramatically successful by meet commentators[45] and she was named USA Today's "Athlete of the Week".[46]
Sacramone competed in the U.S. National Championships in August, performing only vault and balance beam. She placed first on vault (her fifth national title on that apparatus) and second on balance beam. She was also named Sportsperson of the Year.[47]
At the World Championships in October, Sacramone won a gold medal on the vault and a silver medal in the team competition. That gave her nine world medals, and tied her with Shannon Miller and Nastia Liukin for the most world medals by an American female gymnast at that time.[48]
Early in 2011, she signed a deal with Under Armour to supply her with competitive apparel for domestic competitions.[49]
In July 2011, Sacramone added floor exercise to her competitive repertoire at the CoverGirl Classic in Chicago, Illinois. Competing on three events, Sacramone won gold on vault, tied for gold on beam with Jordyn Wieber of Michigan, and won the bronze on floor (13.9).[50]
At August's 2011 Nationals in St. Paul, Minnesota, Sacramone won the balance beam title with a two-night score of 30.1.[51] She placed second to McKayla Maroney on vault (30.6),[52] and she tied with Hallie Mossett for eighth place on floor exercise (27.35).[53]
After participating in two selection camps at the Karolyi Ranch in New Waverly, Texas, Quinn was named to the 2011 U.S. women's world championships gymnastics team.[54]
While training at the World Championships in Tokyo, Sacramone sustained a tear of her Achilles tendon.[55] She returned to the U.S. immediately for surgery on the tear. However, the U.S. team retained her name on the roster, and she was given a gold medal, in spite have not having competed.[56]
Sacramone qualified for the 2012 Visa National Championships. She placed first on vault and third on balance beam.[57] At the Olympic Trials, Sacramone placed second on both vault and balance beam,[58] but was not named to the Olympic team.[59] "I leave this sport with no regrets" posted Sacramone on her Twitter feed shortly after the Olympic Team was selected, suggesting that she is likely to retire.[60]
Other activities[edit]
In June 2008, Sacramone and her team mates Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin became the first female athletes ever to be signed as CoverGirl spokesmodels.[61] Sacramone is also a member of Team 24 Fitness and serves as a spokeswoman for the fitness company.[62] In 2009, she also appeared in a Gatorade commercial that spoofed Monty Python and the Holy Grail as "Alicia, The Girl Who Made Horse Trotting Noises."[63]
During the summer of 2009, Sacramone briefly stayed in Los Angeles, California and she designed for Tank Farm, a men's fashion company.[44][64] She has discussed her intent to return to college in the media,[43] but announced in August 2009 that she was not intending to return to Brown University. In an interview with Inside Gymnastics Magazine, she stated, "I plan to continue school [but] I'm looking into transferring somewhere in Boston," she explains. "Brown is a great school and I loved it, but it was just not the best atmosphere for me; maybe a little too liberal. It was a great two years and I learned a lot about myself and from the professors and coaches there. I'm looking at Boston University, Boston College and Harvard. I want to weigh my options before I make an ultimate decision, but I would love to transfer to Harvard. I think that would be pretty much ideal."[44]
Quinn appeared nude in ESPN's 2011 "Body Issue" and talked about how her body had evolved throughout her elite career and the changes in her self-perception.[65]
On December 15, 2015, it was announced that Sacramone had been inducted as a 2016 class of the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame.[66]

HINT: Note that $\dfrac{x_n+x_{n+1}}2$ is just the arithmetic mean of $x_n$ and $x_{n+1}$, so geometrically it's their midpoint: it's halfway between $x_n$ and $x_{n+1}$. Now make a rough sketch of the first few terms:
This should suggest the following program:
Show that the subsequence $\langle x_{2n}:n\in\Bbb N\rangle$ is strictly increasing, the subsequence $\langle x_{2n+1}:n\in\Bbb N\rangle$ is strictly decreasing,
and $$\lim_{n\to\infty}(x_{2n}-x_{2n+1})=0\;.$$
These imply that $\langle x_n:n\in\Bbb N\rangle$ converges; why?
To get the actual limit, consider the series
$$\sum_{n\ge 0}\frac{(-1)^n}{2^n}\;;$$
can you see how to relate it to the original problem?
$$x_3 = \dfrac{a+b}2$$ $$x_4 = \dfrac{a+3b}4$$ $$x_5 = \dfrac{3a+5b}8$$ $$x_6 = \dfrac{5a+11b}{16}$$ $$x_7 = \dfrac{11a+21b}{32}$$ In general, (by induction) $$x_n = \dfrac{J_{n-2} a + J_{n-1}b}{2^{n-2}}$$ where $J_n$'s are Jacobsthal sequence i.e. they satisfy the recurrence $$J_{n+1} = J_n + 2J_{n-1}$$ with $J_0 = 0$ and $J_1 = 1$. Once we have this recurrence, it is not hard (by induction) to find that $$J_n = \dfrac{2^n - (-1)^n}3$$ Hence, $$x_n = \dfrac{(2^{n-2} - (-1)^{n-2})a + (2^{n-1} - (-1)^{n-1})b}{3 \cdot 2^{n-2}} \to \dfrac{a + 2b}{3}$$

Principals Scramble to Find Cuts
Bloomberg's Plan to Avoid Teacher Layoffs Has Administrators Looking at Overtime, Aides, Textbooks
A day after Mayor Michael Bloomberg backed away from laying off 4,400 teachers, principals and parents across the city are starting the hard process of figuring out how to help close the budget gap the mayor's plan leaves behind.
While the bulk of that gap—$400 million—will be made up through the mayor's pledge to freeze teacher salaries, another $313 million must come out of spending controlled by school principals. That roughly 4% cut has principals poring over ways to trim overtime for teachers, after-school programs, school aides and new textbooks; parent groups are preparing to increase fund raisers and donations.
For Charles Osewalt, principal at Morris Academy for Collaborative Studies in the Bronx, it means he's going to start teaching a class, and his assistant principals will have to tutor students after school on their own time. This will cut back on overtime for teachers, who have been doing the tutoring.
"We have to do more with less," Mr. Osewalt said, adding that he believes the plan is preferable to layoffs. "I'm very happy that Bloomberg made this decision."
Schools Chancellor Joel Klein held a webcast with principals Thursday morning to answer questions. Mr. Osewalt said he asked about whether the pay freeze will stick, given that the principals' and teachers' unions have yet to agree.
He said Mr. Klein assured the principals that Mr. Bloomberg wasn't going to budge. Teachers and principals are working under expired contracts, which means Mr. Bloomberg could refuse to sign any new contracts with pay increases, a situation that can go on indefinitely.
Another variable: Albany has yet to pass its overdue budget, which could affect how much state aid New York City schools will have to work with.
Last week, Mr. Klein began preparing principals for cuts, telling them, among other things, that the schools could lay off their parent coordinators, whose job it is to increase parent involvement and help them navigate the school bureaucracy. "I want to note that while we believe parent coordinators are critical to our schools' success, we have decided that at the high school level, principals should be able to consider parent coordinators as they review their overall budgets," he wrote in a letter to principals. But he continued to mandate parent coordinators for all elementary and middle schools.
The cuts have parent groups expecting to have to find ways to relieve the pain if cuts get too deep. "We already pay for so many things you would hope would just be part of your child's education, like books and science kits, but if the cuts are dire, we are going to have to kick it up a notch," says Beth Servetar, co-president of the Parent Association at P.S. 87 in Manhattan, which is slated to lose up to $260,799 in fiscal year 2011.
Meanwhile, Mr. Bloomberg warned Thursday that his administration's decision to avert teacher layoffs does not signal other severe cuts he's proposed for the city budget will be restored.
"Anybody that thinks that things are better and there aren't going to be any cuts is making a bad mistake," Mr. Bloomberg said at a news conference in Times Square. "There's no new money available."
The mayor and the City Council are expected to finalize later this month the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1. Mr. Bloomberg has proposed, among other things, closing 50 senior centers, shuttering 20 fire companies, eliminating nurse coverage for elementary schools with less than 300 students and increasing parking rates in Midtown Manhattan.

St. John's Wort
WebMD Feature
European physicians routinely prescribe an herb called Hypericum perforatum, the botanical name for St. John's Wort, for their patients with mild depression . If you're one of the many Americans who suffer from this, St. John's Wort is also available -- but only as a dietary supplement.
You can find St. John's Wort in health food stores, neighborhood pharmacies, supermarkets -- wherever you can find vitamins and other dietary supplements, such as ginkgo or echinacea. The labeling notes its contribution to emotional balance and positive outlook or promoting a sense of well-being for people with mild -- not major or severe -- depression. That's all the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows. Manufacturers can't advertise it as a treatment for depression -- and doctors can't prescribe it.
But lack of FDA recognition of Hypericum as an anti-depressant hasn't prevented an enthusiastic U.S. response. Why the interest in an alternative treatment? The available antidepressant drugs have a high success rate, but they also carry the unwanted baggage of side effects. Depending on the specific drug, these can include sleep disturbance, weight gain, impaired concentration and memory, disorientation, dry mouth and, most notably, sexual dysfunction. A month's supply of St. John's Wort costs substantially less than a month's supply of Prozac or any other anti-depressant drug -- although it probably won't be covered by your insurance plan or HMO.

I removed the 800 MHz G4 Processor then replaced it and upgraded to a Dual 1 GHz G4 Processor.
The system started with the Apple Chime and OS X 10.5.6, but then I received a kernel panic screen with errors.
Is this an OS X software nightmare?
Does the operating system think it is trying to boot to a single processor and gets confused about it? Or was I supposed to change some settings via the soldering scheme I have seen?
I get white buttons and the system just runs quiet. How do I get it to reinstall OS X?

Oil Reverses Losses as Dollar Drop Boosts Commodities Buying
Oil reversed losses in New York as the dollar fell against the euro, increasing the appeal of commodities as an alternative investment.
Crude earlier declined as much as 0.7 percent after the euro strengthened 0.3 percent against the greenback. U.S. payrolls excluding government agencies probably increased in September, according to a Bloomberg News survey of economists before a report today, supporting traders' expectations that the economy is stabilizing in the world's largest oil consumer.
"The weakening dollar is putting a reasonable floor under the price of oil," said Gavin Wendt, a director at commodity analysts Mine Life Resources Ltd. in Sydney. "Everyone is looking for an indication of the underlying health of the economy. A lot of speculators have bet on oil to push higher."
Crude for November delivery was unchanged at $81.67 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 2:52 p.m. Singapore time. The contract earlier lost as much as 56 cents to $81.11. Yesterday, it plunged $1.56, or 1.9 percent, to $81.67, the biggest drop since Sept. 16.
The U.S. currency was at $1.3941 against the euro, slipping from $1.3926 yesterday in New York, when it slumped to $1.4029, the weakest since Jan. 28. Investors tend to buy commodities when the dollar falls.
U.S. Payrolls
Oil, set for a third weekly gain, has climbed 3 percent this year amid speculation the global economic recovery would boost fuel demand.
Private payrolls in the U.S. probably increased 75,000 in September after slowing to a 67,000 gain in August, according to a Bloomberg News survey. Overall nonfarm payrolls may have declined by 5,000 last month.
"If the jobs figure were to be negative, that might have some impact on oil, pushing it lower," said Wendt at Mine Life. "But that will be offset by the realization that the Federal Reserve will step in with more stimulus and that will mean a lower dollar and higher oil."
Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said Oct. 4 the central bank's first round of large-scale asset purchases, known as quantitative easing, aided the economy and further buying is likely to help more.
Brent crude for November settlement was at $83.52 a barrel, up 9 cents, on the ICE Futures Europe exchange in London. The contract earlier lost as much as 40 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $83.03 a barrel.

Above we have a couple of examples of the camera, compared with the 3GS camera, as close to a comparison as I could achieve working with a live subject, they do say never work with animals and reviewers.
Apple use a built in Lithium-ion battery in the 4S and rate the phone for 8 hours of talk time on 3G with standby noted as 200 hours. For Internet use Apple suggest 6 hours on 3G, 9 hours on Wi-Fi and video/audio playback is a 10/40 hour split. Speaking of audio and video the 4S supports all of the formats we would expect including 320KPBS AAC, MP3 and lossless as well as H.264 (.mov) video and MPEG-4.
Here are our initial battery testing results on the initial charge.

A modified set of governing equations for gas-particle flows in nozzles is suggested to include the inertial forces acting on the particle phase. The problem of gas-particle flow through a nozzle is solved using a first order finite difference scheme. A suitable stability condition for the numerical scheme for gas-particle flows is defined. Results obtained from the present set of equations are compared with those of the previous set of equations. It is also found that present set of equations give results which are in good agreement with the experimental observation.

2016 Washington International Piano Artists Competition
****A Little Mozart will Brighten Your Day (click to listen)***
Washington International Piano Arts Council Announces the 2016 Washington International Piano Artists Competition, Wednesday, August 3rd to Sunday, August 2nd in Washington, DC. Preliminary Rounds start August 4th and 5th with Semifinal Round on August 6th and Final Round on August 7th. Details regarding the competition are updated with further information as available. Please also refer to the COMPETITIONS PAGE of this website (above). The general public is cordially invited to attend these events, many of which are open to the public without charge.
Please join us in support of these fantastic pianists from all walks of life and from many countries, last year, including Japan, Mexico, France, Canada, Taiwan, Latvia and USA. Competitors last year delighted us with their exceptional ability and diverse musical talents. Each one was a powerful inspiration to us all.
Washington International Piano Arts Council (WIPAC) was established in 2001 to promote international friendship and mutual understanding among nations, to provide an educational forum for all levels of professional and non-professional pianists, to create a renaissance of interest in the art of piano artistry, and to provide venues worldwide where classical music can flourish in many communities.
To further its goals, WIPAC has developed a 5 Year Plan which aims to make the organization take on an expanded mission. In addition, a sponsor gift-giving brochure is available upon request. Over the past 13 consecutive years, WIPAC has hosted an annual Festival of Music and an International Piano Competition for outstanding amateur pianists 31years and older in Washington, DC, during the months of July/August. It is the only competition of its kind that has been presented consecutively year after year, in the U.S.A. Our sister competition in Paris is in its 27th year in 2016 and WIPAC is in its 14th year. WIPAC also hosts annually the unique and exciting "Winners Grand Prix Piano Concert" in April, which features four winners of international piano competitions worldwide.
WIPAC, a purveyor of classical piano music, continues to present piano concerts in our nation's capital featuring both professional and non-professional pianists in cooperation with universities, museums and embassies throughout the Washington, DC METRO area, and we are branching out to Pennsylvania and Sourth Caroline. Most recently branching out globally, WIPAC has presented the First Festival of Music in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, in partnership with Maryland State Sisterhood Program under the auspices of the Office of the Secretary of State and The Kanagawa Prefecture Government. Many other new international events are in planning stages.
For sample recordings by WIPAC PIANISTS, visit our HIGHLIGHTS PAGE (see tabs above). These feature non-professional artists, growing and glowing with new artistry to share.
WIPAC is registered as a non-profit entity under IRS Section 501(c)(3) and derives its support from the generosity of those who believe that music and the performing arts contribute to the enrichment of our lives.
The Festival of Music and Washington International Piano Artists Competition is scheduled in late JULY or early AUGUST, annually. Detailed information is provided as soon as available on the COMPETITIONS page of this website. Interested pianists are encouraged to contact WIPAC for further information on dates, eligibility, and preparation requirements. Previous year requirements may be used as a basis for pianists to prepare. Final applications for the current year are posted after most details of the competition are finalized; e.g., locations, etc.
Over the past 13 years since its inception, WIPAC has been very privileged to have presented annual piano concerts at foreign embassies in Washington, DC, and the Board is very grateful for the ongoing cooperation from the embassies of France, Bulgaria, Portugal, Austria, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Germany, Serbia, Iceland, Philippines, Malaysia, Finland and Luxembourg, the Mexican Cultural Institute, and the Kosciuszko Foundation (DC Chapter).
WIPAC also has organized fabulous musical galas with the gracious patronage of many Ambassadors. WIPAC concert events and galas have also featured generous performances of First Prize Winners of the WIPAC International Piano Artists Competition.
We cordially invite our audiences and supporters to join our membership and support groups so that we may continue to make piano music artistry flourish in our community. Let great music live and continue to enrich our hearts and minds and bring peace to our world!
Chateau Gardecki, Board Chair

Lots of time has been spent guessing the John Tamihere Ten - those Labour MPs that he says will follow him to ... well, wherever it is he is leading them.
The guesses differ marginally, but at this stage any such guesswork is surely academic; none of either the Tamihere Ten nor the Flaky Fifteen are likely to want to follow him into political oblivion.
Or is that really where's he's heading? Is there a future for that most endangered of species: a politician who tells the truth.
Q: How can you tell when a poltician is lying?
A: When their lips are moving.
One of the unanswered questions that reflects severely on the judgement of JT is this: if you're going to tell the truth, why on earth would you tell it to a conspiracy nutter second in paranoia only to Nicky Hagar.
Anyway, one unalloyed good that comes of Tamihere's confessions: no-one is talking about last weekend's Labour Party conference ...

Grilled Tandoori Chicken Pieces
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 50 mins
Tandoori Chicken is a chicken dish dating back to the time of the Mughal Empire in Southern Asia; it is still popular throughout that area, as well as Central Asia. The chicken is marinated in a yogurt seasoned with garam masala - garlic, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, and other spices depending on the recipe. It is traditionally moderately hot, but the heat is toned down to a "mild" taste level in most Western nations. Cayenne, red chili powder, or other spices give it its red colour. Turmeric produces a yellow-orange colour. In some modern versions red and yellow food colouring is used instead. It is traditionally cooked at high temperatures in an earthen oven (i.e. tandoor), but can also be prepared on a traditional grill. You can use any cuts of chicken you like. ALLOW to marinate overnight! PLEASE adjust cooking time for smaller pieces. Wonderful with aromatic rice.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (4 lb) whole chickens, quartered
- 3 lemons, juice of
- 6 ounces plain yogurt
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons turmeric
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger or 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- salt and pepper
- cayenne, to taste (optional)
- cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Combine lemon juice, yogurt, oil, garlic and spices in blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a ziploc bag and add chicken. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
- Oil or spray the grill grates. Preheat grill with a hot charcoal fire on one side of the grill or GAS grill to 375 F- lighting one side only of the grill.
- Grill chicken on the HOT side of the grill for 3 minutes per side until all sides are grilled.
- Move chicken to the no heat side and cook for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reaches 170F and juices run clear.
- Wonderful served with an aromatic rice.

Lovely flavor, and I only marinated it for a little under two hours, so it can only get better next time. Thanks for sharing!
We really liked this. It was easy to make, and the only problem I had was that the skin stuck to the grill. Next time I will make sure that the grates are oiled before I throw the chicken on. The flavor of this dish is very mild, so if you like it spicy, you will need to add something to jazz up the heat factor.
Fantastic! My friend from India said this is very tradtional Chicken Tandoori! We loved it!

EU Calls on Bulgaria to Amend South Stream Venture Agreement
The European Union regulator urged Bulgaria to amend its South Stream natural gas pipeline agreement with Russia to conform with EU law and make sure third parties are given access.
"We would like to see that stated very clearly in the intergovernmental agreement," Marlene Holzner, the European Commission energy spokeswoman, told a briefing in Brussels today. The EU sent a letter to the government in April, recommending it include private gas traders in the project.
The European bloc wants more competition in its energy markets and less dependence on Russian gas imports. OAO Gazprom signed an agreement with Bulgaria's Energy Holding during Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's visit to Sofia for a 50-50 partnership to operate the Bulgarian section of the planned pipeline to Europe.
The agreement is a step forward after the two countries signed an intergovernmental agreement in 2008. Construction of the link is slated to start in 2013 and it may carry 63 billion cubic meters of gas a year to the European Union under the Black Sea via Bulgaria, bypassing Ukraine.
Last year, Gazprom shipped 13 billion cubic meters of gas through Bulgaria to Greece, Turkey and Macedonia via the Soviet-era pipeline that passes through Ukraine and Romania, Gazprom Chief Executive Officer Alexei Miller said on Nov. 13.
Bulgaria also backs the OMV AG-led Nabucco pipeline project, which aims to bring gas from the Caspian Sea region and the Middle East to Austria via Turkey, reducing Europe's reliance on Russian fuel.
"Nabucco is our priority because it helps to diversify the sources of gas supply," Holzner said today. "In this respect, South Stream is a very important project, but in comparison with Nabucco it doesn't offer diversified gas resources. It is a new transit route."
The South Stream project may be completed four months earlier than its current target of Dec. 31, 2015, as work is ahead of schedule, according to Miller.

Exeter, UK
Carnivàle creator (and occasional comic-book writer) Daniel Knauf will serve as showrunner and head writer for NBC's upcoming supernatural drama Dracula, Deadline reports.
He'll work with creator Cole Haddon on the 10-episode retelling of Bram Stoker's classic novel, described as "Dangerous Liaisons meets The Tudors." Produced for NBC and the U.K.'s Sky Living, Dracula follows the vampire (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers of The Tudors) as he arrives in 1890s London, posing as an American entrepreneur who desires to introduce modern science to Victorian society. But secretly the Count is plotting revenge on the people who ruined his life centuries earlier — that is, until he falls hopelessly in love with a woman who appears to be the reincarnation of his dead wife.
Based on an idea by Tony Krantz, the drama is produced by Krantz's Flame Ventures, Colin Callender's Playground Entertainment, Universal TV and NBCU International Productions' Carnival Films & Television, the company behind the hit Downton Abbey.
Knauf, who co-wrote issues of Marvel's Iron Man and The Eternals with his son Charles, also has been a writer and producer for Standoff, My Own Worst Enemy and Spartacus: Vengeance.
This is going to be great!
"Based on an idea by Tony Krantz…"
Shouldn't that be "based on an idea by Bram Stoker?"
No, it should not. Krantz's idea may be
based off of Stoker, but the show is based off of Krantz's idea.

Doors open at 6:30pm. Walkabout Chorus "Teachabout" at 6:45pm
Featured performance at 7:30pm. All shows are open seating.
Highlights of the 2015-16 season below - great shows, great memories!
Historic final performance of a legendary group!
"Serious, joyful, irreverent, reflective and belly laugh funny" - The Norwalk Hour
In their own words:
Dear Friends,
It is our sad duty to announce the end of Modern Man as we know it. After October 10th our esteemed colleague George Wurzbach will be taking an indefinite leave from performing. "Why is this?" you may ask. Why indeed. Well, there's good news and bad news.
As many of you may know, George has been teaching music theory and technology for several years at Monmouth University in New Jersey. As fewer know, it has been a lifelong dream of George's to visit the Antarctic continent and perhaps even have the experience of standing at the South Pole. So the good news is that Monmouth University has generously offered to finance the trip and will send George to Antarctica this fall. The bad news is, that due to budget cuts, the University does not have the funds to bring him back.

November 14, 2015 Kristen Graves/The Chapin Sisters
Kristen Graves is a singer/songwriter and humanitarian from Fairfield, CT, who served as the official Connecticut State Troubadour through May 2015. The New York Times called her 'the new generation of folk' and CTPost.com said, "Graves, who performs about 175 shows throughout the country, has written and performed her own songs since 2000. She has released four albums, a Christmas CD and two EPs. Drawn to the folk/pop tradition, her lyrics are inspired by the people she meets and stories she has heard. Personal and powerful, she sings of a yearning to change things, finding her place in the world and urges others to become involved, too." She has shared stages with Pete Seeger, Peter Yarrow, Holly Near, Dar Williams, Guy Davis, Dan Zanes, David Amram and many more.
The Chapin Sisters
How exciting that the Chapin Sisters are making their first appearance at the Walkabout Coffeehouse! They are carrying on the musical and activist traditions of their dad, Tom Chapin (a Walkabout Coffeehouse regular) and their uncle, the late Harry Chapin, a folk and pop legend and pioneer.
The Chapin Sisters, Lily & Abigail Chapin, are best known for their pristine harmonies and haunting melodies. The singer/songwriters have been compared to sister acts of old and Appalachian family groups, yet their original songs and arrangements have a contemporary feel. Their fourth album Today's Not Yesterday, is available Oct 23, 2015.
Tickets: In advance: $18.00 - At the door: $23.00.

Pete Seeger: The Pete You Never Heard
A few songs written by Pete Seeger are known by many: If Had A Hammer and Turn, Turn Turn, e.g. Many know songs that he introduced to America, such as This Land Is Your Land and Guantanama. But there are hundreds of Pete Seeger songs known by few, including many gems just waiting for their turn to become famous. This special evening will be devoted to helping some of them find a wider audience.
The show features a group of wonderful musicians, spanning a wide range of ages, and all eager to share their renditions of lesser known Pete Seeger songs: Bill and Livia Vanaver, Kristen Graves, Hope Machine, Aurora Barnes, Rick and Donna Nestler, David Bernz, and Jacob Bernz. The program is being crafted by Pete's longtime friend and collaborator, David Bernz.
Listen to Pete Seeger talk about the origins of the Walkabout Chorus and Coffeehouse:

January 9, 2016 Christine Lavin & Don White
Leave your worries at the doorstep and join Christine Lavin and Don White as they present a night of comedy unlike any other, On The Funny Side of the Street, with Christine Lavin & Don White.
Since 2008 these two veteran performers have brought their unique brand of clean and hilarious musical comedy to audiences across the US proving night after night that comedy can be smart, friendly, and breathtakingly funny without being vulgar or pejorative. This is a show for anyone who wants to laugh, whether it's a group of friends or a family gathering, and feel good on their way out of the venue.
Since emerging from the NYC singer/songwriter scene in the late 1980s, (along with Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, John Gorka, etc), Lavin quickly established herself as an entertaining tour de force. Quick on her feet, witty, insightful, engaging, she remains one of the most popular and respected performers in the genre.
Christine Lavin and Don White
Tickets: In advance: $20.00 - At the door: $25.00.
February 13, 2016 Charlie King/The Peace Poets
Charlie King is a musical storyteller and political satirist. He has been at the heart of American folk music for half a century. He sings and writes passionately about the extraordinary lives of ordinary people.
His songs have been sung by Pete Seeger, Holly Near, Ronnie Gilbert, John McCutcheon, Arlo Guthrie, Peggy Seeger, Chad Mitchell and Judy Small. His political musical influences are the folk music revival of the 1960's, and the protest songs of the Civil Rights and Vietnam War era.
The Peace Poets
In their own words: "We are a collective of artists that celebrate, examine and advocate for life through music and poetry. Our art can take you on a journey from the Boogie Down to Berlin, from the border to the bodega. Our style emphasizes lyricism, rhythm and authenticity. We hail from the Bronx and have been rocking the mic since 2005."
Tickets: In advance: $18.00 - At the door: $23.00.
March 12, 2016 The Boxcar Lilies
The Boxcar Lilies have quickly made a name for themselves with their signature mix of folk, country, and bluegrass-tinged Americana music featuring spine-tingling, innovative harmonies, and top-notch songwriting.
The Boxcar Lilies are Jenny Goodspeed (electric bass, guitar) and Stephanie Marshall (washboard, guitar). Original band member Katie Clarke retired from the group in December. For this performance, award-winning singer-songwriter Susan Cattaneo will lend her powerful voice to the band's renowned three-part harmonies and celebrated sideman Jim Henry (Mary Chapin Carpenter, Eliza Gilkyson) will accompany the Lilies on Dobro, mandolin, and guitar.
Tickets: In advance: $18.00 - At the door: $23.00.
April 9, 2016 Brother Sun
National Touring Artists Greg Greenway, Pat Wictor, and Joe Jencks have made their mark as veteran touring singer-songwriters, but Brother Sun is no songwriter's round. The trio's harmonies, as much as their lyrics, tell what they are about: warm as a campfire, stirring as a gospel church, rousing as a call to arms. Fusing folk, Americana, blues, pop, jazz, rock, and a cappella singing, Brother Sun is an explosion of musical diversity and harmony, in the finest of male singing traditions.
From three major points on the map Boston, New York, and Chicago - Greg, Pat, and Joe have blended themselves into Brother Sun: a unique celebration of the amazing power of singing together. As they will tell you, the music of Brother Sun is not resident in any one of them - but rather it exists in the space between them. Audiences feel this sincerity immediately. Their combined musical skills make for an unforgettable experience - three rich voices blending on a well-crafted foundation of guitar, slide guitar, piano, ukulele, and bouzouki.
Tickets: In advance: 18.00 - At the door: $23.00.
Vance Gilbert burst onto the singer/songwriter scene in the early 90's when the buzz spread through the folk clubs of the Northeast about an ex-multicultural arts teacher who was knocking them dead at open mics.
Word got out about this Philadelphia-area born and raised performer, and Shawn Colvin invited Gilbert to be a special guest on her 1992 Fat City tour. Gilbert took audiences across North America by storm. "With the voice of an angel, the wit of a devil, and the guitar playing of a god, it was enough to earn him that rarity: an encore for an opener" wrote the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in its review of a show from that tour.
Gilbert's three albums for the Rounder/Philo label - Edgewise (1994), Fugitives (1995), and Shaking Off Gravity (1998) - are all essential additions to the American singer-songwriter collection. With guests as varied as Tuck and Patti, Jonatha Brooke, Patty Larkin, Vinx, and Jane Siberry, all three albums found significant niches on NAC (New Adult Contemporary) and Non-Commercial A3 radio.
Tickets: In advance: 18.00 - At the door: $23.00.

From Our Editors
Robin and Steve Andrikis can attest that sometimes a wrong turn can send you in the right direction. Just 28 days after accidentally stumbling upon 81 Whiting Street—the future site of Big Steve's Grill—the pair began planning a business that would change their lives forever. After operating their own grocery store for 18 years, Robin and Steve opened Big Steve's Grill in August 2009, and have been satiating stomachs with fresh, made-to-order casual eats, from hand-pressed Angus burgers and bowls of house-made chili to deep-fried Twinkies drizzled in chocolate, ever since. Vivid orange and yellow walls ensconce guests in the dining room, which offers views of the patio dotted with picnic tables, where diners can enjoy an idyllic dinner beneath the bright blue sky and looming Godzilla shadows.

05211: Cities by Design II (SES 0521100)
Urban Planning and Design
Lecture - 4 credits
Tuesday Thursday 10:00 - 11:30 Gund - Piper
Rahul Mehrotra, Erkin Ozay, Eve Blau, Ricky Burdett, Jose Castillo, Jana Cephas, Peter Rowe, Christine Smith
Course Description
The year-long 'Cities by Design' course is mandatory for all incoming Masters of Urban Design Students. All other students are welcome to enroll in the course by semester, and need not do so in sequence.
Cities by Design studies urban form. Each semester, 'Cities by Design' will examine six cities as case studies in order to expose students to a range of factors that affect the design of contemporary cities in various geographical contexts. The case studies will focus on both the urban condition as a whole by exploring processes of urban evolution, and on the study of urban fragments and projects. Each case study will be comprised of three or four lectures and one discussion section. The Spring Case Studies consists of Berlin, London, Mexico City, Rome, Detroit, and Mumbai.
Two main pedagogical objectives guide the course: (1) to engage students in a comparative study of cities that will broaden their definition of the 'urban', and (2) to build the historical framework within which they will identify the urban characteristics and design strategies that render particular cities distinct. Comparative analyses of the urban case studies will be guided by the following eight themes, which will be explored through the lectures, section discussions, and assigned readings:
1. The city's genealogy and key historical events, phases of development & patterns of growth.
2. The ways in which the terrain, geography, and infrastructural development constrain and present opportunities for the city's development and ambitions.
3. The city's planning and design culture and decision-making institutions.
4. The challenges that social equity present to planning and design in the city.
5. The orchestration of the city's relationship to the broader region.
6. How the particular city contributes to a definition of the 'urban' condition.
7. The framing and design of key urban projects/case studies.
8. The city's planning institutions, historical conditions, urban forms, or ambitions, etc. that have contributed to its iconicity in a global context.
Term grades will be based on attendance and participation in both lectures and section discussions, biweekly response papers, and a final term paper.
