Wave Systems Enters Global Distribution Deal With Lenovo 0 comments
Wave Systems (Nasdaq: WAVX) today announced a global distribution deal with Lenovo, the world's 2nd largest PC manufacturer. This is an important step forward for Wave in expanding its PC OEM channels beyond its largest customer, DELL.
Release is here: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/wave-signs-global-distribution-agreement-122900926.html
The agreement underscores growing interest in trusted computing solutions by enterprises & OEMs. Samsung's entry into the trusted computing space earlier this year is another sigh, and they hired Wave to help them with that effort back in November 2011. Samsung has decided to produce trusted platform module (TPM) security chips, which are the building block of trusted computing. In May, following its development, Samsung licensed Wave's client software to manage TPMs.
As for the Lenovo deal, their news release quotation says it best: "Gaining direct access to Wave's endpoint security solutions means Lenovo customers now have a one-stop-shop to purchase PCs bundled with Wave's robust security and management solutions," said Wes Williams, Director of Ecosystems & Monetization Marketing Operations, Lenovo. "This agreement greatly simplifies the buying process for our customers who use Wave solutions to activate and manage SEDs, along with TPMs for persistent and unique identity, as well as the early detection of Advanced Persistent Threats."
Micron's comment from the release: "Preventing data breaches is priority number one for today's enterprise organizations," said Justin Sykes, General Manager of client SSDs at Micron. "We're pleased to see Wave partner with a key customer of ours to bring greater accessibility to flash-based SEDs, which offer the single best combination of security and performance. With Wave, Lenovo customers can deploy and manage an enterprise-wide installation of Micron's C400 SEDs in a fraction of the time it would take to deploy software encryption."

Madagascar was the latest destination for Rugby World Cup 2015 qualifying last week, playing host to the Confédération Africaine de Rugby (CAR) Championship Division 1B competition.
It is fitting that the journey to England 2015 for African nations should begin in a country where Rugby is the national sport and where 40,000 fans packed into the Mahamasina Stadium in the capital city Antananarivo on Sunday to see their heroes defeat Namibia 57-54 in a high-scoring final to earn promotion to Division 1A of the Africa Cup in 2013.
With Rugby very much alive and thriving on the African island and the national team performing well, the demand and enthusiasm for all things Rugby is high and the Game will receive a further boost with the IRB and its kit distribution partner LV= SOS Kit Aid delivering a consignment of Rugby kit and balls to the Fédération Malagasy de Rugby.
The delivery, which includes jerseys, shorts, socks and other essential gear, has been collected from schools and Rugby clubs in the UK and Ireland and includes good quality second-hand items as well as new kit which is no longer wanted and was otherwise destined for landfill sites.
The donation gives the kit a new lease of life and will be distributed by the Union to clubs and schools in the country for the benefit of Rugby at all levels as part of the legacy and development programme around the Africa Cup.
IRB Vice Chairman Oregan Hoskins, who was in Madagascar for the Division 1B final along with the Webb Ellis Cup, said: "We are delighted to have been able to contribute to the development of youth Rugby in Madagascar through this delivery of kit. In addition to the obvious environmental benefits from reusing the gear, those children already playing Rugby or those who are new to the Game will directly benefit from the delivery. We are grateful to LV= SOS Kit Aid and their colleagues in TNT for their generous support in getting the shipment to Madagascar."
CAR President Abdelaziz Bougja said: "On behalf of the Confédération Africaine de Rugby I am delighted that the IRB and LV= SOS Kit Aid are driving this important initiative of delivering Rugby kit to the young players and grassroots community in Madagascar and I would like to thank them for their support.
"These are exciting times for Rugby in Africa and with Rugby being the number one sport in Madagascar, highlighted by over 35,000 fans enthusiastically watching the CAR Championship Division 1B matches yesterday, I am sure that this shipment will be incredibly well received and give an exciting boost to the Game in the country and will be further continued evidence of the growth and impact of the development of Rugby across the entire continent of Africa."
John Broadfoot, Joint CEO of LV= SOS Kit Aid, said: "The delivery will help make a positive and tangible impact on young people's lives by giving Madagascan children of all abilities and backgrounds the chance to participate in Rugby. The simple boost to team spirit, pride and confidence that comes with a team wearing the same jerseys is something we can often take for granted and it is fantastic that the next generation of Rugby players in Madagascar will benefit from the experience."
To find out more about LV= SOS Kit Aid, please visit www.lvsoskitaid.com.
A crowd of more than 35,000 turned up to each of the Africa Cup match days in Madagascar, showing the nation's appetite for rugby

Joint Communiqué of the First South Africa-Ireland Partnership Forum
1. The first meeting of the South Africa-Ireland Partnership Forum was held at the Department of Trade and Industry Campus in Tshwane on 22 and 23 June 2006. The Forum was established in 2004 when Dr NC Dlamini Zuma, Minister of Foreign Affairs of South Africa, and then Irish Foreign Minister, Minister B Cowen, signed a Declaration of Intent aimed at placing bilateral relations on a coherent and structured footing.
2. The Forum was held at senior officials' level, co-chaired by Acting South African Deputy Director-General: Americas and Europe, Ambassador Gert Grobler and Mr Rory Montgomery, Political Director at the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs.
3. The meeting reaffirmed the close and friendly ties between South Africa and Ireland and their shared commitment to the values of human rights and democracy, as well as to a rules-based multilateral system.
4. The South African side presented a comprehensive briefing on the Shared and Accelerated Growth Initiative of South Africa (ASGI-SA) as well as on the Joint Initiative for Priority Skills Acquisition (JIPSA). It was agreed that South Africa and Ireland would examine ways to cooperate in the achievement of the goals of ASGI-SA and JIPSA, particularly as regards skills acquisition, and officials were tasked to explore the practical implementation of such cooperation. It was also agreed that Ireland's remarkable economic success story presented an important case-study for South Africa in achieving its goals of addressing poverty, skills shortages and unemployment. A proposed visit by Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka to Ireland was welcomed by the Irish side and it was agreed that it would be tailored to promote the objectives of ASGI-SA and JIPSA.
5. Current trade issues and patterns were discussed and the continuously strengthening economic ties between South Africa and Ireland were commended by both sides. The meeting resolved to further these ties, including by encouraging visits by trade delegations. In this connection the Forum welcomed the planned visit of Micheal Martin, Irish Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, which is scheduled to take place next September. South Africa and Ireland exchanged views on their respective trade and investment, and tourism promotion strategies as well as on Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment policies. Ireland agreed to explore ways of assisting South Africa in strengthening trade and investment, given its own success in this area.
6. An overview was provided by the South African Department of Education on possible additional areas of cooperation. The parties agreed to further consultation meetings to discuss the way forward.
7. It was furthermore agreed that the South African and Irish authorities would explore the possibilities for a Memorandum of Understanding on Development and Exchange of Health Professionals and any other health related issues.
8. The meeting agreed that the principles contained within the Paris Declaration should be the basis for future partnerships between all donors and South Africa and both parties reaffirmed their commitment to implement the Declaration in full.
9. Both parties noted that the current Irish Aid Country Strategy Paper (CSP) for South Africa ends in 2006. An evaluation of the CSP is underway, the findings of which will inform the new strategy. The new CSP will focus on Irish Aid interventions that support South African development priorities. The South African side was informed that Ireland is currently preparing its first White Paper on Development Cooperation, which will be published later in 2006.
10. The meeting expressed its strong support for the active consolidation and promotion of the African Agenda. The Irish side was briefed on the latest developments with regard to the African Union and NEPAD and commended progress achieved, for example with the successes of the African Peer Review Mechanism.
11. Individual country situations were reviewed, including in the Sudan, Great Lakes Region, DRC, Côte d'Ivoire, and Zimbabwe. The meeting reiterated its strong support for the principle of peaceful and negotiated settlement of disputes. Trilateral co-operation in Africa, including on post-conflict reconstruction, will be actively pursued by officials, following the Partnership Forum. The South African side welcomed the recent Irish contribution to the Independent Electoral Commission intervention in support of the upcoming elections in the DRC. The Irish side noted with appreciation the constructive role of South Africa in promoting peace, stability and economic growth throughout the continent.
12. Perspectives were shared on a number of international issues of concern, including on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and United Nations Reform.
13. The Irish side provided a briefing on the latest developments with regard to Northern Ireland.
14. At the conclusion of the Partnership Forum, it was agreed that it proved to be a valuable mechanism to review and actively promote the excellent ties between South Africa and Ireland. Officials were tasked to follow up on the discussions and present clear and measurable results at the next meeting.
15. It was agreed that the Partnership Forum will meet again in 2007 in Ireland.

Last week at this time, I was in tears, after learning about Riley's diagnosis and his blood work that kept going in the wrong direction—up—instead of down, as I had hoped. As I mentioned earlier, we decided to not risk the suggested surgery, and vowed to make Riley's life as happy and comfortable as we could.
On the way back from the vet in Gaithesburg, I passed through Highland, and was reminded of a demonstration I had seen some years ago at Shari Sternberger's Elements of Energy. Shari is a holistic practitioner for people and pets, and incorporates healing touch, Reiki, sound and light therapies, and other techniques. I thought a little visit for Riley—and me—might be just the thing to help focus our energy on our goal.
Shari was able to see him the next day. I can't say which of us—Riley or me—benefited more. Riley certainly relaxed into the repertoire of treatments that Shari provided. And I benefited from chatting with someone who had such a wealth of experience with older and ailing dogs. I realize that her support is not a substitute for traditional veterinary care—which we are still continuing, but I found it a valuable adjunct.
Here's a little video Shari made with tips on caring for aging pets. (Warning: This one's about cleaning up poop!) Even if/when Riley recovers from his illness, he won't come out of it any younger! So being prepared for the road ahead is a good idea.
Riley, by the way, is feeling fine right now and has his healthy appetite back. He even darted after a squirrel the other day. We're not sure if he's "out of the woods" yet, but the jaundice seems to be subsiding, and all other signs are normal--no pain, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. I don't know if it's the antibiotics, the low-fat small-meals diet, the energy healing, time itself, or a combination of the above. But I'll take it!
Columbia Dog Talk: Tips for caring for aging pets
Even if/when Riley recovers from his illness, he won't come out of it any younger! Here's a little video from Shari Sternberger, a local holistic practitioner, with some tips on caring for aging pets.

There is a lot of worthwhile music content coming out right now -
way too much for us to cover it all as it happens.
So here's a place for us to round-up some of the other selections
that we didn't get a chance to feature on their own
from throughout this past week.
Cuz sometimes I got other shit to do.
Gang Colours
"To Repel Ghosts"
Cool new animated video from the Brownswood-signed Gang Colours,
as spotted on Keep On Repeat.
SUPPORT: Gang Colours – The Keychain Collection OUT NOW
"Weekend In The Tropics"
Here's the first track from TV Dream -
the new EP from FoF's Groundislava.
When XLR8R debuted the track,
they described it as a sign of Lava's production maturing
& "departing from 16-bit to, well, 32-bit."
DOWNLOAD: Groundislava "Weekend In The Tropics"
SUPPORT: Groundislava – TV Dream EP OUT JUNE 26th
Frank B
"Chain Of Fools"
Its rare these days that I'll come across a proper House track that I'm really into,
but this new song from Ireland's Frank B,
as spotted on XLR8R,
is a much-welcome exception.
DOWNLOAD: Frank B "Chain Of Fools"
A Film By Harmony Korrine -
The Black Keys
"Gold On The Ceiling"
That dude Harmony Korrine,
the director of Gummo (you know, the fucked up movie they watch in Belly?)
& who also just recently cast James Franco to play a character based on Riff Raff -
delivers this Harmony-Korrine-as-fuck video for The Black Keys.
I mean… he really Harmony Korrine'd the fuck out on this one.
Along with Teletubby-like dummies of The Black Keys holding themselves
for long periods of time,
the vieo also features the ATL Twins -
a pair of biological twins who share a bed & only sleep with the same girl,
posturing in front of jiggling cheese.
Of course.
SUPPORT: The Black Keys – El Camino OUT NOW
Theophilus London
(prod. Twin Shadow)
I haven't even been checking for Theophilus like that,
ever since he stopped working w/ Machine Drum
(whose production was always Theo's saving grace, to me) -
but, Twin Shadow, on the other hand -
has a pretty flawless track record to date.
So here's this,
as spotted on illRoots.
DOWNLOAD: Theophilus London "Golden"
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
"Man On Fire"
I swear every time I hear the first few seconds of this song,
I think it's gonna be a Johnny Cash cover -
but in a really good kinda way.
The video feels a little bit like a PSA or maybe a McDonald's commercial,
but whatever – its still a good song.
SUPPORT: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes – Here OUT NOW
Wiz Khalifa
"The Grinder"
(prod. Jake One)
Wiz is pretty unamazing to me in general,
but this Jake One beat is really dope
& Wiz didn't get in the way of it.
We'll take it.
And the Juicy J cameo throughout the whole video alone makes it worth the watch.
DOWNLOAD: Wiz Khalifa "The Grinder"
Supreme Cuts -
LRAD Chicago
For anyone curious about some of the new sounds coming out of Chicago right now
(& if you're not – you really should get curious) -
production duo Supreme Cuts have made this really dope starter kit mix
featuring tracks from themselves + plenty of their Chi contemporaries,
including The-Drum, Sich Mang, Haleek Maul, and more.
Footwork, hot dogs, & bikinis on top of cop cars?
DOWNLOAD: Supreme Cuts – LRAD Chicago Mix
ALSO SEE: Ad Hoc Feature/LRAD Tracklisting
"The Full Retard"
New one for El-P's first single from his just released Cancer 4 Cure album.
It's like if that show, Greg The Bunny was actually funny.
DOWNLOAD: El-P "The Full Retard"
SUPPORT: El-P – Cancer 4 Cure OUT NOW
"How Did You Get So Mean"
New track from PRTLND band, Charts – as debuted by Into The Woods.
Regarding the song, the band said it
"goes well with make outs and wait for it.. even break-ups."
No arguments here.
DOWNLOAD: Charts "How Did You Get So Mean"
SUPPORT: Charts – Tease EP OUT JUNE 6th
Rome Fortune
feat. Wara From The NBHD
"Mortal Kombat"
(prod. CEEJ & Key!)
Free single from Rome Fortune & CEEJ's upcoming Lolo project,
spotted on Steady Bloggin
SUPPORT: Rome Furtune & CEEJ – Lolo OUT JUNE 4th
Pusha T
"Exodus 23:1″
(feat. The-Dream,
prod. Rico Beats)
Not really too interested in the "beef" this one is trying to start
(although c'mon… Drake?!? – somebody had to say something!),
but I fucking love this song.
The video didn't quite capture the dark & ominous feel the track had to me,
but I figured it was still worth including.
DOWNLOAD: Pusha T feat. The-Dream "Exodus 23:1″
Feels Like Home #45:
Death Songs
Another great one from PRTLND-based Into The Woods'
always awesome Feels Like Home series,
where they cram a bunch of cameras & recording equipment into a Portland's band home
& let the magic ensue.
This one features Death Songs
performing a re-imagined version of their once folky song, "Ophelia."
Watch how lead singer Nick Delffs (also of Shaky Hands)
plays the keys & guitar at the same time -
pretty crafty.
SEE MORE: Into The Woods TV – Feels Like Home
Crate Diggers:
Pete Rock's Vinyl Collection
Disregarding the nontroversy of T.R.O.Y. Fiasco-gate 2012,
Fuse aired their latest episode in their Crate Diggers series this week,
w/ Pete Rock showing off his home record collection.
I enjoy how annoyed he seems w/ the guy the off-camera interviewer
at a few points during the clip.
ALSO SEE: Crate Diggers Episodes 1 – 4
Juicy J
"20 Zig Zags"
(prod. SpaceGhostPurrp)
Juicy J's recent resurgence is a pretty interesting one,
although at times it is sad to see him reduce himself to just barely above a meme.
But whatever, this one's worth it for the SpaceGhostPurrp production alone.
Ok, and J's "KEEP COOKIES!!!!!" adlib is pretty classic too.
DOWNLOAD: Juicy J "20 Zig Zags"
Bling47 Breaks – Dilla Edition:
DJ Spinna on Slum Village "Get Dis Money"
(directed by Waajeed)
B47 rolled out its latest episode
in Waajeed's self-directed & edited Bling47 Breaks series,
still in its "Dilla Edition" of discussing records that Jay Dee had sampled over the years,
this time bringing back recurring guest, DJ Spinna
to give his two cents on the SV classic.

Video: Base Jumping In The Himalaya
The technically difficult climb took six days to complete but Rozov found a much easier and quicker way to get back down. Clad in a wing suit, the Russian jumped from a ledge and safely glided and parachuted to the valley below. That descent took just 90 seconds with Valery reaching speeds of approximately 125 mph along the way.
The video of this base jump, which you'll find below, was released earlier this week. At the time it was widely reported that this was a new world record for altitude, but that distinction actually belongs to a couple named Glenn Singleman and Heather Swan. That husband and wife team jumped from the 6604-meter (21,666-feet) Mt. Meru back in 2006.

Sacred Earth: Faiths for Conservation
Many of the most important conservation places in the world are sacred. Sites like the Amazon, South Dakota's Black Hills, and the Mekong River are deeply rooted in local spiritual and cultural traditions. These places also face overwhelming threats, including deforestation, pollution, unsustainable extraction, melting glaciers and rising sea levels. Such threats not only endanger the integrity of ecosystems but also leave the people who live there impoverished and vulnerable.
Over 80 percent of people in the world follow a specific faith; there are at least 2 billion Christians, 1.34 billion Muslims, 950 million Hindus, and 200 million Buddhists worldwide. WWF's Sacred Earth program works with religious leaders and faith communities who best articulate ethical and spiritual ideals around the sacred value of Earth and its diversity, and are committed to protecting it.
Pope Francis Calls for Amazon Conservation
During World Youth Day, a plea for protection of Amazon region and its people.
Why It Matters
What WWF Is Doing
Our partnerships with faith leaders and communities focus on activities such as forestation and watershed restoration, river protection and clean up, climate change adaptation and mitigation, and combating illegal wildlife trade.
Spiritual Youth Take a Stand for the Environment
WWF extends a call to faith-motivated youth of America to be the voice for wildlife and wild places that have no voice of their own. Being an advocate means leading by example—such as recycling your bottles, buying sustainably-produced food and riding your bike to school instead of driving. It may also mean speaking out in your local community about the environmental issues you care about.
Faith Motivates Conservation
Faiths guide and direct the way we think, behave, and live our lives. But the power of faith is not solely spiritual. Collectively, faith-related institutions own almost 8 percent of total habitable land surface and constitute the world's third largest category of financial investors. Their determination to address climate change or to protect wildlife has enormous potential to influence the fate of natural spaces and species.
WWF's Sacred Earth program builds a global dialogue with religious leaders and faith institutions on ways to develop and enrich societal aspirations, values, and lifestyles that are ecologically sustainable and spiritually principled. We support the work of faithful Christian congregations that seek to become better stewards of Creation, of Buddhist monasteries that practice compassion toward the Earth as part of their Bodhisattva vow, and of Muslim imams who see the protection of nature as a trust from Allah.
Collaboration Brings Results
WWF's work is based on strong, long-term partnerships with a diverse range of religious leaders and faith institutions. We maintain a close partnership with the Alliance of Religion and Conservation (ARC), a UK-based organization that works with religions around the world and was established by WWF in 1985.
In the Eastern Himalayas, WWF helped establish Khoryug, an association of Tibetan Buddhist monasteries that works on environmental protection under the auspices of His Holiness, the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje. The partnership has resulted in the publication of environmental guidelines for Buddhists and more than 55 monastery-led projects to address forest degradation, water loss, wildlife trade, waste, pollution and climate change.
In the Greater Mekong, WWF works to protect endangered Irrawaddy dolphins in collaboration with His Holiness the Mahasangharaja Bour Kry, the Great Supreme Patriarch of Buddhism in Cambodia, and Buddhist temples that flank the Mekong River. Monks train to be effective advocates for freshwater conservation in an effort to ensure that the population of fewer than 80 Mekong Irrawaddy dolphins continues to survive.

Vikings Re-Sign Jerome Felton
Posted at: 03/18/2013 2:06 PM

By: Samuel Newton
Eden Prairie, MN (March 18, 2013) – The Minnesota Vikings have re-signed FB Jerome Felton.
Felton, who started 7 games for the Vikings in 2012, was selected to his 1st Pro Bowl after helping guide RB Adrian Peterson to the 2nd highest single-season rushing total in NFL history.
The Madisonville, Tenn. Native originally signed with the Vikings as a free agent during the 2012 offseason after stints with Detroit, Carolina and Indianapolis.

After a long pause I thought of discussing about a question that had struck my mind several days ago. In Sri Lanka a Sari is accepted as a glamorous piece of clothing worn in functions, offices and worn by ladies of all ethnic communities including certain foreigners.
However I wonder if the Sarong was able receive the same reception as that of the Sari, apart from the 'Ariya Sinhala' National Dress (Worn by Peons and Politicians alike) or similar dresses worn by the Tamil community of Sri Lanka for cultural occasion, I doubt if this dress did get the same attention worldwide as the sari.
If Sari can come into equal terms with a gown, I do believe that a sarong could surpass the trousers in several aspects where the dress and where its comfortability is concerned.
As a person who wears sarong and admires them, I strongly believe that the sarong should have received a better reception and popularity among the people. Now it will be up to us Men and Gentlemen alike to speak on behalf of our sarongs.

For the past several years we have gotten the DDP and liked the idea of knowing our meals were paid for up front. But last year we just felt it was too much food for us to consume in a day and that we weren't really eating what we wanted to. We love appetizers and since they aren't included in the DDP we ended up either paying OOP or skipping them. So this year we decided to skip the DDP. We were very happy ordering a few appetizers and splitting a meal and skipping dessert at the restaurant and getting something later in another place (Ghiardelli's, Dole Whip, Kringla Bakery). We ate plenty of food, had some nice wine and sangria and when we figured it all out we saved $271.00. For us, the flexibility of ordering what we wanted and not worrying about what was included in the plan just made dining more enjoyable.
Everyone has to do what's best for them and we think paying OOP makes more sense for us!

Musical Favorites of 2013
by E. "Doc" Smith' Dec. 20' 2013
We've seen some exciting music come through San Francisco in 2013; too many to name in this space in fact. Sadly, we've also lost many musical greats, and yet we continue to see and hear some new music emerge, thrilling audiences worldwide, and making spirits dance. Here's a list of some of my personal favorites and musical moments...
10. SFJazz Center Opens
San Francisco's newest venue, located on Franklin near City Hall, is the SFJazz Center which opened on January 23rd with "a star-filled line up �consecrating� the stage of the Robert N. Miner Auditorium." Hosted by Bill Cosby, the concert included pianists McCoy Tyner and Chick Corea, saxophonist and long time SFJazz Collective alum Joshua Redman, legendary vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, Esperanza Spalding, Mary Stallings, John Handy, Pete Escovedo, the SFJazz Collective, and the new SFJazz Center Resident Artistic Directors Regina Carter, Bill Frisell, Jason Moran, John Santos and Miguel Zen�n amongst other special guests. I saw two fantastic shows there, Hiromi with Anthony Jackson and Simon Phillips, and later Brad Mehldau and Mark Guiliana's "Mehliana".
As happy as I was to see the SFJazz Center open, we also saw the closing a few local jazz haunts: Rasselas and Savannah Jazz Clubs. Yoshi's SF and Oakland's Duende and the Sound Room continue to feature great, local jazz talent like Lisa Engleken, Matt Swindells, Steve McQuarry, Edo Castro, Niels Myrner, Michael LaMacchia, Pc Munoz, Andre Custodio, and Bishu Chatterjee just to name a few.
9. Trilok Gurtu's "Spellbound"
Describing this latest release, Gurtu's website actually provides the best insight, stating, "Two short snippets recorded live by Trilok Gurtu and Don Cherry, bookend the album �Spellbound�: a 33-second improvisation in a duo with Cherry on trumpet and Trilok Gurtu, who can be heard on the drum set especially converted and modified for his needs, forms the start of the new CD by the Indian percussionist, while a brief �Thank you, thank you very much� from Cherry for the applause of the audience closes the album. Trilok's last Bay area appearance was at Stern Grove, where he put on a wonderful show.
8. Billy Martin and Wil Blade's "Shimmy"
Drummer Billy Martin of Medeski, Martin and Wood and up and coming organist Wil Blades come together for a new duo project. After two highly successful shows in San Francisco and New Orleans, Martin and Blades are taking the show on the road. The duo's music is at once danceable and highly improvisational. This duo rolled through town and rocked the Boom Boom Room, later adding a horn section. Great album and a great show.
7. The 12th Annual Outsound New Music Summit
Every year, the Outsound New Music Summit showcases some of the most innovative and pioneering new music that is happening in California and beyond, and it gets better every year. Rent Romus' Lords of the Outlands, with special guests Hasan Abdur-Razzaq and LA Jenkins kicked off just one of the fabulous evenings; followed by Lewis Jordan's Music at Large and Kyle Bruckman's incredible "Wrack".
6. Sussan Deyhim at Yoshi's SF
�Sussan Deyhim is a fascinating original voice in music and the arts. Her rich and complex vocals are warm, beautifully sung, and always surprising. I�m proud that she is and has been a member of our �Voicestra� for many years.� - Bobby McFerrin. On a Sunday night last October Sussan brought her incredible voice and trio to Yoshi's on Fillmore in San Francisco for what was a truly fantastic show.
5. Mehliana at the Independent
As I wrote in a previous column, there have been a few notable jazz-rock duos featuring piano/synthesizer and drums over the last few decades; Weather Report's Joe Zawinul and Indian percussionist Trilok Gurtu's "Orient Express"; Drummer Bill Bruford's duets with Patrick Moraz, and later Michiel Bortslap, (Bruford would also record and perform simultaneously with six pianists in Colin Riley's Piano Circus!); Happy the Man and Camel's Kit Watkins and Coco Roussel; Marco Benevento and Joe Russo, to name but a few.
Following in their footsteps comes "Mehliana", (an amalgamation of their names), featuring keyboardist Brad Mehldau; a fabulous player well known by fans of guitarist Pat Metheny, and drummer Mark Guiliana, who like Russo and drumming legend David Van Tiegham before them, hails from NYC's cauldron of forward thinking percussionists. Mehliana returned to San Francisco at the Independent on Divisadero, and followed up their amazing SF Jazz Center last April, with yet another fantastic show.
4. Ann Dyer's "Vak" at Yerba Buena Gardens
Inspired by the ancient Indian goddess Vak, who creates the world through sound vibration, Vak: Song of Becoming calls on ancient yoga philosophies to create an immersive sonic experience. The new work, commissioned by YBCA, comes out of a period in which Dyer withdrew from a successful recording and performing career as a jazz vocalist to explore her personal relationship to voice and self through the study of Indian sound practices. In the piece, Dyer experiments with these ancient principles in a new, contemporary context, creating a monumental work at a new intersection of art and mindfulness..." Dyer brought "Vak" to the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and left me completely blown away. The choreography, music and performers were like nothing I had ever seen before. Breathtaking and one of the best shows I've seen in years.
3. "OoN - The BassOoN - Bass Duo"
"Bass and bassoon are not your usual musical duo partners. But when Paul Hanson and Ariane Cap met and talked about how they have both been using their instruments beyond their traditional roles, they felt an immediate kinship on so many levels. They agreed that what matters most is the music and not the 'tool'. They could relate how one could just fall in love with a sound. They understood the challenge and joy of hearing something inside and bending the instrument beyond its intended techniques to create new sounds. This amazing duo also just released their fantastic debut album, and I'll be reviewing it in detail in 2014.
2. Stick Men
"Stick Men is a rock trio like no other. Playing instruments not seen or heard every day, and writing captivating, challenging music, they embody the tradition of progressive rock and created by musicians with extensive experience playing together. Pat Mastelotto and Tony Levin are the rhythm section of the legendary band King Crimson. Mastelotto is in demand all over the world as the premier drummer for progressive rock. Levin plays an unusual instrument -- the 12 string Chapman Stick -- in Crimson, with Peter Gabriel and others. Markus Reuter is a composer/guitarist who designs and plays his own unique touch style guitar.
Their newest and best work yet, DEEP features heavy rock pieces �Concussion�, �Horatio�, the 11 min. tone poem �Whale Watch� and the musically amusing �Nude Descending Staircase.� Mixed by Machine (producer for King Crimson, Clutch, Lamb of God), this is a must have for King Crimson and Progressive Rock fans..." Stick Men rolled into the Regency on Van Ness awhile back, (along with Arian Belew's Power Trio), and the "double trio" finale rocked the house.
1. Richie Havens, George Duke, Donald Blackman, Lou Reed, and Bobby Parker
Lastly, a nod to a few of the great musicians I've known or seen, who have moved on this year; Richie Havens, George Duke, Donald Blackman, Lou Reed, and Bobby Parker to name only a few. True musical giants whose like we'll never see again. As I wrote previously, "I will leave you with my favorite tune by Duke of the era, from his album, "The Aura Will Prevail"; the aptly named "For Love, I Come Your Friend", by the late great George Duke.

Event Details
Rich Medina DJ Set at Le Bain
Monday, February 24
Le Bain at The Standard
444 W. 13th St.
New York, NY
Giant Step: You've played at Le Bain a couple times for us now. What's your favorite part about spinning there?
Rich Medina: There are many things I love about Le Bain, but the most important factor for me is the clientele. The meat packing district is a different monster in the 21st century, so the music heads and dancers who come to the nights I do there really make me happy.
GS: What type of music can folks expect to hear you spin on the 24th?
RM: So far, we've kept the music mature and sophisticated. A bit of a tip of the hat to the NYC dance club pioneers like Larry Levan, David Mancuso and the like. Freedom music. Sounds that bring people into the light rather than fan the flames of rebellion or angst.

The whole show was great but I really loved seeing Charlie Wilson perform he's from my generation and I love his music. Timberlake was awesome and so was Williams. Wilson still sounds phenomenal. I could of listened to them all night.

Highlights from Tuesday, Oct 26, 2010
Tuesday, October 26, 2010
We all have too much junk, but some objects do more than collect dust. For Bill, the passing of an old alarm clock marked important memories:
LISTEN How can a clock that no longer keeps time become a memory maker?
LISTEN Dave explains NASA's new Robonaut and compares it to the imagined reality of a past generation. LISTEN Robonaut is real, and he has a Twitter page to prove it! FOLLOW You can find the real Robonaut and follow him (it?) here. LISTEN What if Robonaut needed to call tech support?

The Minot State University men's basketball team announced the signing of Alex Coleman to a national letter of intent on Thursday.
The 6-foot-8 forward averaged 16 points and nine rebounds per game during his senior season for John F Kennedy High School in Denver, Colo., earning second-team Denver Prep School All-League and honorable mention all-state honors.
"We are very excited to add Alex to the Minot State University basketball program," MSU coach Matt Murken said in a press release. "His length, athleticism and work ethic give him the chance to be a very good Division II player."
Coleman adds some much-needed size to the Beavers roster, which has just two players listed at 6-6 or taller.
Before deciding on MSU, Coleman received interest from Division I programs University of Denver, Northern Colorado and the University of Wyoming.

Poison Dart Frog
Many other frog species camouflage themselves in the wild, but the poison dart frog uses its brightly colored skin to warn predators that it is unfit to eat. The frog's skin secretes a dangerous poison that can paralyze and even kill predators. There are more than 100 species of poison dart frogs, including those that live in the Amazon.
Climate change and habitat loss threaten their survival. WWF is working to ensure that their Amazon forest habitat remains intact.

Editor's note:Last week, after 21 years as the lead columnist of the paper he founded, Ray Hartmann wrote his final column for the Riverfront Times. Rising from the days when he'd shove his own uncashed paychecks into a drawer so employees could get paid, Ray built theRFT into a strong, aggressive and lively paper that tells St. Louis the straight truth, unfiltered by the city's power brokers. Every week, Ray spoke to readers in a clear and passionate voice about wrongs that needed to be made right and deals that needed public airing. His column will be sorely missed. This is what readers had to say about his departure -- and his favorite target, the state-subsidized stadium proposal for the Cardinals that failed to pass the Legislature.
Hello, I Must Be Going
Shoeless Hartmann: Say it ain't so, Ray! First The X-Files and now this! Say it ain't so!
Barry Barbeau
via the Internet
Mature object of desire:What you have founded, created, hated, loved, cursed at and got off on has grown up. St. Louisans are smart and cherish value -- hence the success of your enterprise. I have been been a regular reader for over ten years. I think that you have been a tremendous asset to the city of St. Louis. I haven't always agreed with you, but I've always liked you -- and usually agreed with you.
Gary Dell
via the Internet
Voice coach: I've enjoyed reading your RFT column and hearing your perspectives on the Donnybrook show. You've added a great deal to the socio-cultural-political dialogue in St. Louis. Thanks.
Stuart Murphy
via the Internet
The spike: I wanted to say thank you for all of the hard work that you put into the Riverfront Times. I have been reading the paper since my freshman year at Fontbonne in 1985. I look forward to picking up the newest issue every Wednesday and reading your editorial. It just won't be the same without you. I wish you luck in whatever you choose to do. At least I'll still be able to get my "Ray fix" on Donnybrook! Take care and be happy!
Lori Reed
St. Louis
Pick of the litter: First it's Joe Bonwich, now it's you. When will it end? The paper will never be the same without you two. I wrote Joe to tell him he always restored my appetite with his writing about food. I'm going to tell you that you always restored my faith in the fight for right, whatever the outcome. Hate to see you go. Good luck in any future endeavor. You're a real winner, pal!
Fred Miller
via the Internet
The Wish
Fill 'er up -- high-test:With reference to your opening line, "I think we've all had enough of me," I haven't. I hate to see you go. You deserve all the good things that have happened to you.
Dick Illyes
Chairman, St. Louis County
Libertarian Party
Victory lap: Ray Hartmann's extraordinary effort in helping defeat the stadium-funding bill provides a high note for him to go out on. His many commentaries that railed against the attempt by the St. Louis Cardinals to extort more than $400 million from taxpayers were very effective. He both exposed the deception of the stadium proposal and the greed of Cardinals owners.
Jim Murphy
State Representative, 95th District
Where's my money?Ray Hartmann's logic is the most clarion thinking on the stadium topic that I have read ["The People's Stadium Bill," May 15]. The Joe Buck-aholics of St. Louis need to sit up and take notice. My company is in need of a new facility, and we're not getting state and federal subsidies to relocate. Neither should the Cardinals.
Verne Henzel
St. Louis
Muddy waters:So, in your words, the Cardinals will never leave downtown, huh? I believe Mark Lamping is a straight shooter and he means just what he says. The sad thing is that you and the welfare "leaders" you allied yourself with will probably just crawl into your holes when downtown reallybecomes dead every summer night. You, of course, will be relaxing on a beach somewhere with the big bucks you made on the sale of the RFT. Isn't it ironic how your former publication made its fortune promoting the "riverfront" and now ends up killing any of its future hopes?
Paul Kjorlie
Barefoot Boy
One shoe, one sock: Good luck with the future. I will surely miss your pointed prose and unabashed wit. However, the selfish side of me says: "What's the big idea of leaving the RFT?!" I'm gonna miss the hell out of your column. Your predecessor [sic] has a helluva big shoe to fill. Thanks for the outstanding columns!
Michael Heatherly
Team with no name: You tell 'em, Ray! I am soooooo glad there is at least one sane voice to be heard in the media. If they don't get their welfare check today from Jefferson City and they do sell out, I will be the first to walk around Busch Stadium with a "Go Cards!" sign. As in: "Get Out of Town Now!" One thing I truly wish the city or even the state would do: pass a law that would keep the Cards from being called the St. Louis Cardinals if they get a stadium in some other city. Even East St. Louis. I am really tired of all those St. Louis County and St. Charles County people and businesses hating St. Louis and yet using St. Louis addresses or calling themselves St. Louisans. There was the dedication of the newest stars in the Walk of Fame in the Loop. It is called the St. Louis Walk of Fame. It ain't in St. Louis -- it's in University City.

Sexy slutty nurses have probably appeared in every man's fantasies. Seen any of these before? In your fantasies I mean…
Don't Miss This...
5 Responses to Slutty Nurses
The last time I was in a hospital, they had to remove a couple of aliens nested in the pit of my arm. Not that it was the most uncomfortable operation in the world, it was just that the doctor could hardly past the blubber of the lab techs and nurses around the table to do his work properly. In the end I ended up with an extra arm pit and twice as many aliens than I walked in with. Such is the life in modern day practices of surgery. At least I got ice cream after I was in the recovery room.

Travel Blogs from Bangkok
Bangkok 1/12 - 1/14 with Betty Chen
Sadly, we packed our bags to leave Samui, sun and the Anantara resort. Really the most beautiful hotel I may have ever stayed at. I wanted to take the shampoo and conditioner with me,along with the robe, rose basket from reception, bowl of rose petals, and the whole feeling I had while I was there. I felt more relaxed during these past 2 days than …

... a 2 hour Thai massage (soz). I've never experienced such desires to laugh at entirely inappropriate times. Even as elbows were being dug into by bum or the little Thai lady by the name of 'Candy' straggled herself in some awkward positions across my body, I resisted temptation and took it seriously. Rounded off with more clicks than my back has ever seen, I left feeling human again but with muscles I never even knew I had. After a quick change, we all ...

The train was a much better one than the other **** ones we had been on, not sectioned off cabins with a load of beds rammed in, but a basically room for 4 (even though it was 2 per section) of facing bench seats, and then these would turn into the beds. Pretty comfy, pretty clean, and not really any annoying people around. Which ...

A sufficiently bizarre way to finish our trip to the extraordinary Bangkok.
Never again will I hear a person smack their lips without thinking the words 'Ping Pong Show' thanks to Bangkok.

Found January 12, 2013 on
Pro Sports Daily:
Former Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt interviewed for the head coaching job with the San Diego Chargers on Saturday. Whisenhunt confirmed the meeting on the team's website. "I have great respect for the San Diego Chargers," Whisenhunt said. "Every time I've played them, they've been good football teams and we had battles whether I was in the AFC or the NFC." Whisenhunt was fired as Arizona Cardinals coach after a 2012 season that included a nine-game losing streak. In six years with the Cardinals, his teams posted a 45-51 record. The highlight of his tenure was reaching the Super Bowl after the 2008 season. According to reports, Whisenhunt also interviewed in Cleveland before the Browns selected Rob Chudzinski on Thursday night as their new head coach.

• Why D'ya Do It? (12″ remix) Back in 1978 if you'd predicted that Marianne Faithfull was about to reinvent herself as the elder stateswoman of the punk movement, people would most likely have assumed that you were on as many drugs as the singer herself. The '70s had not been a kind decade to Faithfull, who had swapped a twisted kind of domesticity as a Rolling Stone girlfriend for a heroin habit and spells of sleeping on the streets. Ever a diffident kind of popstar, even at the height of her first brush with fame in the early '60s, she had become less an artist than a cautionary tale of what too much fun and indulgence can do to a girl. That all changed with the release of Broken English in '79. Not only did Faithfull spit a generation's worth of received notions about what female artists can and should do right into the faces of her doubters, better still she achieved it in two remarkable ways: first with shock tactics, and second by making an album that – appropriately enough for someone who saw peace and love die, live and in full colour – perfectly captured what it feels like for your dreams to wither.
The initial shock lay in that voice. Faithfull may now be a byword for a gritty, lived-in style of singing, but hearing the change in her voice for the first time with Broken English must have been a palpable shock. Drugs, heavy smoking and hard living had filed the pleasant, if bland, voice that had graced her first records right down to its stumps. Only the hauteur that had originally marked Faithfull out as an aristocrat among pop musicians (itself a myth given that Faithfull was brought up in genteel poverty by a single mother) remained, casting an air of ironic detachment over the album's second shock: its determination to stare into the abyss. Broken English is a bleak record. Its songs deal in despair, whether exploring the baffling nihilism of the Baader Meinhof gang ('Broken English'), the impossibility of goodness ('Guilt') or savage sexual jealousy ('Why D'Ya Do It'). Even its few bright spots, such as the Wiccan baccante described in the beautiful 'Witches' Song' are overshadowed by a knowledge that any kind of joy must be paid for in despair. And perhaps most poignantly of all in 'The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan', a song about madness in suburban America that reminds us that, while the wages of sin are death, the path of cosy domesticity is still a means to the same end.
Listening to the record long after the voice, the uncomfortable subject matter and the shock of a woman unashamedly shrieking 'cunt' have faded, what comes through clearly is how gorgeous Broken English still sounds. The punk aesthetic that had ruled the second half of the decade is nowhere to be heard as Mark Miller Mundy's glossy production acts to counterpoint the rawness of Faithfull's vocals. Stevie Winwood's keyboards shimmer right through the album, from the 'Blade Runner'-esque trill that opens the title track to the chilly synths that somehow fooled listeners into mistaking 'The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan' for a pop track and giving Faithfull a rare opportunity to appear on 'Top Of The Pops'. Elsewhere, the arrangements veer dangerously towards adult-oriented rock. The airy darkness and perfectly judged saxophone solo of 'Guilt', for example, feels almost like a companion piece to that antithesis of all things punk, Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street'.
Broken English, while always fascinating, is not a perfect album. 'Brain Drain' drags and a cover of John Lennon's 'Working Class Hero' rings hollow when Faithfull gives it the same detached treatment that in subsequent years would make her one of the world's mot impressive interpreters of Brecht and Weill. Nor has the album's most controversial song, 'Why D'Ya Do It' aged well, its frank sexual language and cod reggae backing making it more comedic than effective. Where the album does still hit its target, however – in the title track, 'Witches Song', the propulsive 'What's The Hurry', and most of all in 'The Ballad of Lucy Jordan' – Broken English is a record out of time, looking forward to when Peter, Paul & Mary are displaced by PJ Harvey. Desolation has rarely sounded as sleek.
In the '60s, Marianne Faithfull was at best a footnote. In 1979 she became an artist, and Broken English is her flawed but thrilling magnum opus. Don't buy this record for the extras, which are mostly incidental mixes. Buy it for itself; it's worth it.

text: Illegible thoughts penned through blind fingers find an audience of one pathetic. Lying upon a pointed side, drunk with sorrows' wine, I emit no care or ability to. Last nights mascara's tears run into a smeared lipstick frown, and upturned empty bottle. Broken spirit lies awaiting the shadow of death to steal it's mind and soul. But greater torture still, would be the endless nausea that plagues the cheapened recipient. To blend within societies lesser fortunate would be lovely, alas I cannot cast my vote. For I became diseased decades long ago when new was eye fetching. Draped in natures gown of mud, spit and dead leaves I wallow to the tune of misery. Only lifting my eyes to greet the wind that beckons me to see it. Low, ground level views are poetic in my minds eye, watching the bugs work. Hurry bugs, not much left of me today, but watch out for my tongue, for it knows you well.

Augusta's consolidated university has a nearly $2 billion economic impact on the local economy, according to a recent report.
A study released by the Selig Center for Economic Growth reported that Georgia Health Sciences and Augusta State universities, now Georgia Regents University, pumped $1.8 billion into the local economy and generated a combined 19,192 jobs in fiscal year 2012.
This is up $780 million from 2011, when the two universities reported a combined impact of $1.02 billion.
"An academic health center is a powerful economic engine," said GRU President Ricardo Azziz.
"As Georgia's fourth comprehensive research university with an aligned and integrated health system, we make a tremendous impact on the state's bottom line.
"Our biomedical and academic enterprises produce three important benefits – qualified graduates, renowned discoveries, and positive patient outcomes – for the Augusta community and our state."
The 2012 data reflects the combined impact of GRU's academic and clinical initiatives, including campuses in Albany, Savannah, Rome, and the GRU/UGA Medical Partnership in Athens. Impact for those communities is estimated at $1,107,754 in Albany, $891,343 in Savannah, $573,757 in Rome, and $22,291,568 in Athens.
The report does not include an assessment of the economic activities of Georgia Regents Medical Associates, the faculty practice group aligned with the university and health system.
The study showed that the University System of Georgia's 31 institutions made a $14.1 billion total impact on the state's economy in 2012, up $900 million from 2011; and generated nearly 139,263 full- and part-time jobs, or 3.6 percent of all jobs in Georgia.
"Even in the worst economic times in a generation or two, our colleges and universities proved to be strong pillars and drivers of the economies of their host communities," added Dr. Jeffrey M. Humphreys, Director of the Selig Center and author of the report. "That's due to rising demand for higher education regardless of the overall economic climate."
When compared to its peers, GRU placed third in total impact behind the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech with impacts of $2.6 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively.
"I am confident that we will generate additional impact across the state as our university and health system continue to grow," Azziz said.

Before the advent of audio dubbing, films released in multiple languages required (polyglot) actors to shoot each scene over for each language (speaking the words of their non-native language phonetically). Another popular option was the use of multiple sets of actors (a set for each language) to work on language specific versions of the film in shifts. A movie released to English, French, and German audiences, then, would require the entire film be effectively filmed three times.

Latest news
This announcement further expands the IBM MobileFirst portfolio, which marries expertise with a set of mobile software and cloud-based services.
According to Gartner, more than 45.6 billion mobile apps were downloaded in 2012. As the rate of app use on mobile devices increases, securing smartphones and other endpoint devices is a top priority for organizations and Chief Information Security Officers. With the proliferation of consumer and enterprise mobile apps, organizations cannot always control or restrict the apps installed on user devices, so they must test how apps send and save data.
IBM's new security software can automatically identify where data enters and leaves a mobile app, helping to prevent mobile data leakage.
The pace of mobile application releases and updates can be overwhelming for organizations trying to maintain strict security guidelines and policies. IBM AppScan Source 8.7 for iOS provides the ability to improve security quality without sacrificing time-to-market of mobile app projects. This allows organizations to better protect each mobile app release in the face of constant updates. IBM previously announced IBM AppScan for apps running on the Android platform.
KiwiTech is a leading mobile technology firm headquartered in Washington DC, and offices in New York and New Delhi. The company has developed more than 750 apps which have generated over three million downloads on iOS and Android platforms. With more than 200 mobile development and related professionals focused on app development, including security is a top priority for the organization.
"Over the last four years, KiwiTech has developed hundreds of iOS and Android mobile apps for organizations around the world. As the risk from mobile malware and data leakage grows, our customers are looking for ways to secure their iOS and Android apps and protect corporate data," said Rakesh Gupta , Chief Executive Officer, KiwiTech. "The new IBM AppScan product will allow us to proactively secure mobile apps and automate security testing to ensure our customers can keep pace with constant updates."
In addition, IBM AppScan Source 8.7 for iOS can help reduce the cost of developing secure apps by building security analysis early into the development cycle. It provides developers with an unmatched view into where vulnerabilities appear in their mobile apps, which improves security quality without sacrificing time to market of mobile app projects.
"This new capability showcases IBM's execution in our strategy to help clients incorporate security into their infrastructure and solutions from the design, development and testing phases rather than leaving security to become an afterthought," said Caleb Barlow , Director of Application, Data and Mobile Security, IBM. "It also aligns with the IBM MobileFirst strategy by empowering organizations with confidence to aggressively evolve and seize the business potential that mobility promises."
New capabilities to IBM AppScan Source 8.7 for iOS include:
- Support for US Federal Government Requirements: Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) and use of a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module.
- 40,000 Mobile Security APIs Supported: IBM Security Research conducted a comprehensive analysis on the iOS SDK to include coverage of APIs that might introduce security risks. The API profiles have been added to the IBM AppScan Source Security Knowledgebase and tied to the analysis engine. Combined with the research conducted on the Android SDK, IBM AppScan Source has researched and characterized the security risk of approximately 40,000 mobile APIs.
