PCIe flash caching and low-cost, SAS-based storage networking solutions help datacenters and cloud infrastructures address the rising data deluge
HOSTINGCON 2012, BOSTON, Mass., July 16, 2012 –LSI Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today announced it will demonstrate its unique PCIe® flash caching and 6Gb/s SAS switching technology at the HostingCon 2012 conference July 16-18 in Boston, Mass.
Technology demonstrations will showcase how the LSI® Nytro™ MegaRAID® application acceleration card and LSI SAS6160 switch can help customers meet the demands of the global data deluge, driven by key factors such as social media, video and the mobile Internet, that is impacting datacenters and cloud environments.
At the show, LSI will demonstrate:
MySQL acceleration with the LSI Nytro MegaRAID card
Demo Description: The demo showcases how a server with the Nytro MegaRAID card installed can deliver dramatic performance gains for a typical OLTP application while preserving existing investments in hard disk drive (HDD) and RAID storage infrastructure. The Nytro MegaRAID card helps customers to accelerate database performance and provide more capacity in DAS environments.
Demo Setup: The demo consists of two servers running a MySQL database and executing the TPC-C benchmark, with Quest's Spotlight program to display all database, operating system and storage activity in real-time. One server is using HDDs while the second, identical server is utilizing HDDs in conjunction with the Nytro MegaRAID card and caching software to intelligently cache hot data blocks onto high-performance flash storage.
Scalable, shared DAS storage with the LSI 6Gb/s SAS switch
Demo Description: SAS is growing as a popular interface for newly installed SANs due to its superior bandwidth, lower latency, ease of use and lower costs. However, there are thousands of installed SANs that utilize older, sub-optimal storage protocols, such as iSCSI.
The demo showcases how the LSI 6Gb/s SAS switch enables a scalable, lower-cost and easier-to-use storage networking option for rack-mounted server and storage installations in cloud computing, mega datacenter and small- to medium-sized business environments.
Demo Setup: The demo consists of a Chelsio iSCSI-to-SAS router, AIC cloud storage server with iSCSI interfaces and the LSI SAS6160 SAS switch to provide optimized connectivity for future system expansion.

The Fast and the Curious
Quick start-up and fast autofocus – courtesy of Olympus iHS and FAST AF technology – ensure you're always ready to shoot. The TG-3 dials up the shutter speed for blur-free action images, thanks to its ultra-bright high-speed f2.0 lens. You can also reduce the ISO to shoot crisp, detailed images with minimal noise in low light, or use the Aperture priority mode to expand the focus range of the background.LEARN MORE
Connect with Your Smart Devices
The TG-3's built-in WiFi and the free Olympus Image Share app turn your smart device into a remote extension of your camera. You can operate the zoom, adjust settings and AF points, and trip the shutter. You can geotag photos and share files with the world. And you can apply custom signatures and stamps to your work.LEARN MORE
More Ways to Capture the Action
Mount the TG-3 on your bike, kayak or surfboard. Set up Interval Shooting – camera start-up time and intervals between shots (both from 1 second to 24 hours). Snap up to 99 frames. Compile the images automatically into a time-lapse movie lasting up to 10 seconds (720p at 10 fps). Enjoy the oohs and aahs of your friends.LEARN MORE
If you venture a little too far off the beaten path, your TG-3 can help. Its next-generation GPS accurately locates your position within 10 seconds. Landmark information can be displayed and recorded with every shot. The built-in e.Compass offers information on direction, latitude and longitude as well as elevation and water depth...in case you push the limits to the extreme. Pair the TG-3 with the OLYMPUS Image Track (OI.Track) smartphone app so you can transfer GPS logs and pictures from your camera to your smartphone.LEARN MORE
The TG-3 offers four macro modes: Microscope, Microscope Control (maximum 44.5x magnification from 1cm), Focus Bracketing and Focus Stacking (multiple images are taken from foreground to background, and the areas in focus are automatically merged into one perfect shot). Add the new LED light guide and you've got a complete portable macro set-up.

Customer Reviews of the TG-3

More advanced than you may think
I bought this camera elsewhere...I did receive the 30 dollar discount and then I used some perks points and got this camera for 250 dollars...some of the best money I ever spent on a camera. First of all...it fits in my pants pockets. I have read where some people think it is heavy...I don't even notice it in my pocket . And the images...even though they are jpegs, they are some of the nicest jpegs there are. I love the microscope mode...I usually am happiest with it on the single shot regular microscope mode...I mount the camera on a gorillapod...and boy can this camera get close...I used to have the light guide...but somewhere in use it fell off and I did not notice...it does come off rather easily...so my recommendation for that is if you are not shooting macro put the light guide away...I also find this camera very usable for street photography...its small size and the ability to make this camera shoot silently are 2 big pluses...My prefered method it to set the camera to aperture...ISO to 100 and I leave the lens zoomed in to its shortest distance...on a sunny day or partly cloudy day this yields really nice results...as the camera will set the shutter to anywhere from 1/2000th to 1/250th of a second. That slower end you may get some blur shots but that is not always a bad thing...another option if I decide on the fly I want to get a quick action image I just put it on scene and choose the sport setting...there are art filters as well and I love the pinhole effect...the flash is decent but you can also use the flash to trigger an off camera flash as well...and it is waterproof...I have not used it in a lake or pool...but I do go out and shoot in the rain on a regular schedule...so this thing has been wet and it works well. If you want a rugged little camera that will deliver big in the way of your images...this is a nice choice...I do not recommend anything over 400 ISO...gets a bit noisy in the dark areas but if you are not shooting moving object get a little gorillapod ...they weigh less than camera and it will give your camera a solid base.

Fun camera aside from video ticking
PROS: With accessories this is a really fun camera. The Macro Light Ring and the Fisheye Lens are must haves. It took sharp pictures and the auto image stacking was great. Super fast turning on so you're ready to snap pictures.
CONS: Heavy and a bit awkward with the Fisheye Lens attached. A HUGE negative for me was the ticking on videos. Did some research and it sounds like this may be the AF and only present on a certain % of Tough cameras.
SUMMARY: Alas the video ticking was enough for me to exchange the camera. I really wanted to love the TG-3 and would consider purchasing it again.
July 21, 2014
I bought (asked for it as a present for my 13th birthday and received it) my TG-3 as a secondary camera to my E-PM1 and as an upgrade from my old point and shoot. So far I love it! It takes great macros (macro photography is my favorite type of photography) as well as other photos. The built in WI-FI is also a nice touch. I would instantly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a rugged camera.
July 18, 2014
Too many features?
I recently purchased this camera and there are so many different options for taking pictures that it almost seems like overkill. Some of them seem to be designed for a professional more so than someone who wants something that they can easily use on the go. Maybe someday I'll want to take a picture that looks like a diorama, just not today. I figured out my preferred settings and I'll probably just leave it there. I haven't really tried to fully utilize the Microscope function yet, but I can see where that may be very nice to have. I played with it a little and it did take some very clear close-ups of a chunk of pyrite. I haven't used it in the water, yet. I'm not planning on testing gravity with it either. I have been able to take some very good pictures of Hummingbirds using my preferred settings even though they are a notoriously hard subject. Good clear images on the "Fine" setting. One bad thing that I did discover is when playing back video you can clearly hear the zoom moving back and forth in the audio. It's rather loud when shooting in quiet surroundings, like when taking video of Hummingbirds. I also found it impossible to install the strap that was included the way that they show in the directions. A little creative thought and you can install it though. The battery took a long time (5+ hrs) to initially charge, but I think proper planning in the future will make that a non-issue. I also bought the silicon case and I have no issues pushing covered buttons. Overall, I think it'll be a great camera for years to come.

Awesome Outdoor Camera
This is a great camera! I have used it in many different scenarios. I will explain briefly my findings with each: The macro mode is phenomenal! Absolutely amazing for a camera at this price. My DSLR with a 18mm-140mm zoom lens can't get the same results. In the specs it says that you can focus on something that is 10mm away from the lens glass... It's true! This is a very sturdy camera. The build is incredible and feels like it can withstand anything I will need to put it through. The 2.0 maximum aperture lens works wonderfully. I love how it creates that depth of field. The GPS finds my location fast, and I like being able to see the elevation I am at, and the digital compass. It's GPS functions are very complete and advanced. The camera itself looks great! It looks mean and ready to be put to the test. I can't wait to bring it on my adventure trips high up in the mountains into waterfalls and then down to sea level in the ocean. Like all reviews say, this camera doesn't do well with low light, but no camera this size does. High ISOs on this camera can be grainy, but generally a camera like this isn't used at night. It does have options for fireworks which is a slower shutter speed. I have taken several videos under water, in the sink, and out of water. The 1080p video quality looks great on my TV. The lens does make sound on the video when zooming, but that is alright since the lens is positioned right next to the microphone... It's hard to eliminate that noise from ANY camera this size. The flash is kind of harsh in low light. The pictures don't come out great with the flash, but then again, no camera this size really does that well. I would recommend investing in the LED Guide Light ($40) that would be a much better light source for brightening up things up close. The seals on this camera are much more reliable than other "Tough" models have been. This one doesn't make me worry about a hatch accidentally opening up under water. The buttons are laid out well, and they are easy to push and use. I love having the zoom controls on top next to the shutter button. The red camera color is deep looks great! I love all of the automatic and manual options. They really put a lot into this camera to make it affordable and yet keep it as in my opinion, the best weather proof camera for the price. It's a very impressive camera and I can't wait to use it for years to come. I don't have to worry about taking this camera on any adventure that I may be on. This one is a winner! I highly recommend it!
July 16, 2014
Great features but with awkward controls
PROS: Olympus did a great job with this camera. I love the new features like Wi-Fi, full sized and faster HDR, and time lapse movie mode. I was a huge fan of the TG-1 and TG-2, so I've been anticipating this product release for a long time. The images are sharper with new sensor. And it seems the flash may be a bit brighter (I'll have to check the guide number in the documentation to see how much more powerful it actually got.) The new optional Macro Light Ring is great for close focus shots, even underwater (not tested in poor visibility conditions yet).
CONS: The power button is a bit smaller and harder to activate for man-sized hands. My biggest disappointment is with the Wide/Tele toggle switch. When the switch was on the back you were able to see all of the controls for the camera at once. Not only is it harder to see now that its on the top the switch itself is small and hard to move with man-sized fingers.
SUMMARY: The TG-3 is a great camera with some very impressive features. Except for the Wide/Tele control button the camera is easy to use and operate. I have more fun using this camera than my OM-D E-M1. This camera is a MUST HAVE for underwater photographers who want to take stunning photos without spending $4k. I can't imagine how they'll top this one!

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
All 2013 Honda Odyssey minivans now come with a standard rear backup camera and a simplified center stack instrument panel with an 8-inch full-color multi-information display screen (i-MID). Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity and a USB port are also standard.
Once exclusive to the EX-L trim, the 2012 Odyssey EX minivan now includes Bluetooth hands-free phone technology, an 8-inch Multi-Information Display (MID), a USB audio interface, and a 2-GB CD library.
No major changes for 2010.
The EX-L trim receives the Touring's power rear lift gate, while the optional satellite navigation system gains Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity.
The 2008 Honda Odyssey receives a major exterior freshening, with a new front and rear fascia, new wheels and a new, more fuel-efficient engine (EX-L and Touring). The interior gets a major makeover offering new fabrics and trim colors, as well as some new options.
If you're buying a minivan, the rationale is likely more pragmatic than passionate. Few drivers lust after a box on wheels, but you can't fit a growing family in a Corvette. The good news is, today's minivans brim with goodies and perform better than you'd suspect. Among the gold standard for such people movers is the 2014 Honda Odyssey. Like the Nissan Quest, the Odyssey's exterior styling strays from the more traditional rounded shapes of the Toyota Sienna and Chrysler Town & Country, but inside, the Honda shines with features and functionality (yes, there's even a built-in vacuum cleaner). Add a strong yet efficient engine and outstanding safety and reliability records, and the Odyssey can win over many a minivan critic.

Women's hoops falls to FGCU, 70-60
Related Links
The JU women's basketball team suffered its fifth-straight loss to Florida Gulf Coast, 70-60, in Atlantic Sun Conference action on Saturday in the Veterans Memorial Arena.
The Eagles (21-2, 13-0 A-Sun) were held to 5 of 22 (22.7) makes from beyond the arc, but had four players in double-figures, led by Sarah Hansen's 23 points. Courtney Chihil scored 17 points, while Nicoya Jackson and Kelsey Jacobson each had 12 points.
Senior Crystal Bell scored 15 points for the Dolphins (7-17, 5-8) who had a 48 percent field-goal percentage (12-25) in the second half. Bell also had four steals to crack fifth all-time at 120.
"We battled hard again," JU head coach Jill Dunn said. "We did a good job defensively of keeping them contained for the most part, but were not able to cash in on our opportunities I told our team to keep battling because good things will happen soon."
The Eagles finished shooting 45 percent from the floor on 27 of 60 attempts. They also had 40 points in the paint and held the rebounding edge, 35-32. JU hit 12 of 18 free-throw attempts, while tallying eight steals.
In the second half, the Eagles took their largest lead of the game, 60-43, on a Hansen layup with 10:05 left. A 14-4 JU run capped on a senior Jessica George jumper made it a 64-57 deficit (3:03). George added a three-pointer to keep the deficit at three possessions in the final minute, but FGCU hit free throws to secure the win.
George and sophomore Jade Cargill each finished with eight points. Cagrill added seven boards, while sophomore Abril Peeples and junior Maggie had seven points apiece.
The Dolphins raced out to an 11-4 first-half lead on a Bell three-pointer at 15:46. The Eagles cut the deficit to one, but a three-pointer from sophomore Ciara McLee helped push the advantage to 18-13 (11:14). Three straight back-door layups gave the Eagles their first lead of the game, 19-18, less than two minutes later. A layup by junior Tracie Sneed helped the Dolphins get within a score, but a three-point play from Hansen in the final minute set up a 37-27 FGCU lead at the intermission.
The Dolphins start their final road trip of the season Thursday against East Tennessee State in Johnson City, Tenn. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.

A murder inquiry has been launched after the body of a young woman was discovered by police at a London home.
Officers found the woman, believed to be in her 20s, at a maisonette in Streatham after a member of the public raised concerns that she had not been seen "for some time", Scotland Yard said.
A post-mortem examination at Greenwich mortuary will be scheduled in due course.

Bringing counselor into schools a good idea
I was glad to read in the Pharos-Tribune on Aug. 18, 2013, where Four County Counseling Center will be transferring a therapist to the Logansport Community School Corp. They will be working with students with emotional and behavior problems.
Mental illness may still be somewhat of a stigma albeit it should not be. I believe that some children/teenagers do not receive treatment needed during their youth. This often leads to more severe psychiatric behaviors in their young adult years.
I congratulate the key players in our community for integrating and working together for mental health treatment which will benefit our children. Saving one student from a devastating future experience is worth it!

Still waiting for answersto the same questions
We have paid Pyrolyzer supporters to visit Materials Recovery Facilities and a Pyrolyzation pilot plant in Germany and Canada. The report seems to be, "It works."
Of course it "works." That is not the question.
Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) have been around for years.
As for pyrolyzation, you can build a pyrolyzer in a 55-gallon drum and your science project will pyrolyze trash (or tires, wood or plastic) and make syngas, and you can combust the syngas to generate electricity.
But your science project doesn't answer the question: Can pyrolysis make clean, cheap, reliable electricity?
The Germans tried to answer this question. At least as early as the 1920s the Batelle Institute in Frankfurt tried to make pyrolysis profitable, but failed.
Monsanto built a huge 1,000 tons-per-day pyrolyzation plant in Baltimore in the early 1970s. It failed to reach design capacity and it never ran continuously. Monsanto closed it in 1977.
Covanta, the largest waste incineration company in the U.S., considered pyrolyzation but decided it was not profitable.
Pyrolyzer LLC's proposal to Logansport is to process 6,000 tons-per-day of trash and/or tires to generate 150 Megawatts of electricity! What experience can Pyrolyzer offer to back up this gigantic proposal? Pyrolyzer LLC and its inventor-partner, KUG, don't offer any independent tests of continuous emissions, or any evidence of ever producing electricity, nor do they have a unit that has run longer than 15 days.

CHICAGO — When I meet people on airplanes and they find out I'm an economist, they usually ask about stock tips. When I explain I'm not that kind of economist, they next ask why we couldn't predict the crisis. I'm not that kind of economist, either. Sometimes, they end with something about household budgeting — how do I know if I'm overspending on rent? I'm not really that kind of economist either — no academics are. But in this case, I think I might know more than the usual experts.
Most people who want to know about household budgeting turn to someone like personal finance guru Dave Ramsey, who has a carefully crafted household budgeting system. His, like many others, relies on a simple idea — sometimes called the "envelope system" — where you put your gas money in one envelope, your grocery money in another, etc., and spend only within a category.
This idea is clear and elegant — even if you don't actually use an envelope, it seems like it could be easy to stick to, and it has a nice old-timey feel. There is a problem, though: It is in violation of basic economic principles.
The principle in question here is that "money is fungible." In reality, all dollars are the same. There is no such thing as a gas dollar, a grocery dollar, a "fun" dollar. The Ramseys of the world argue you should just apportion them into the envelopes depending on what you think you might spend. But doing it this way is not actually the best way to dole out your money; you are not optimizing. Your money is just not working as hard as it should.
The system works great, as long as nothing ever changes. But the minute that some price changes, you're in trouble. Here's an extreme example. Imagine you drive to work, and your "gas money" envelope contains enough money to get you to work for the month, and maybe a little cushion. But then gas gets more expensive. You may first react by switching to a worse grade — say, from premium to regular (research shows many people do this). But if gas prices go up even more you simply will run out of money in the gas envelope. And then you won't be able to get to work. Strictly following the envelope system here would be much, much worse than "cheating": It's certainly bad for your household budget if you miss work.

WAUCONDA Tuesday Jan 15 2013 Carmel's Michael Barr (22) shoots for a three pointer in the first quarter against Wauconda. | Michelle LaVigne~Sun-Times Media
Carmel boys basketball coach Tim Bowen went with the twin tower look Wednesday night at Wauconda.
And from every angle, pairing 6-9 Jack George with 6-6 Cullen Barr looked pretty darn good.
The pair combined for 31 points and 15 rebounds as the Corsairs (6-9) knocked off the Bulldogs (10-8) 50-40 in a nonconference game.
Bowen usually doesn't play his big men together, as the East Suburban Catholic Conference is loaded with talented guards, so Bowen has to go small.
But Wednesday, it worked perfectly, with George getting 16 points, six rebounds and five blocks, and Barr getting 15 points and nine boards.
"Most of the teams we play are pretty physical on the perimeter, so we have to go with four guards to alleviate that issue," Bowen said. "If we can get them [the two big men] to grab loose balls and give up fewer short rebounds and get them to be more efficient around the basket, we'd love to have them on the floor together."
Against that duo, Wauconda couldn't compete on the boards (a 23-6 disparity on the glass). But Carmel, short one guard, had trouble taking care of the ball, turning it over 21 times to nine for Wauconda.
"Twenty-one turnovers is just way too many," Bowen said. "We face pressure defenses every night in our league. For us to turn the ball over that much makes us look kind of suspect."
For his part, Barr was glad to see the Corsairs back in the win column.
"Unfortunately, we tend to take some plays off," Barr said. "We have to go a full 32 minutes and keep the pedal to the medal. We have to keep our focus and buy into what coach is telling us and you'll see some good things out there."
Wauconda got 14 points from its best player, Austin Swenson. Dion Head added nine off the bench. But Wauconda shot 14-of-51 from the field, including 4-of-23 from downtown.
"Carmel's a physical team. They're big, they're tall, and they got to us," said Wauconda coach Scott Luetschwager. "They [George and Barr] are two really good players and they use their size well. They were a little bit stronger than we were, so they were able to get position and kind of push us around."
Despite the loss, Wauconda has hit double figures in January — not an insignificant accomplishment for the program.
"As a whole, our effort has been great. They've been working great as a team," Luetschwager added. "That's one of the things we can hang our hat on. It doesn't matter who has the shot or who has the big game. Everybody's happy for their teammates.
"It's nice to see that."

Javascript Realtime Render?
So, I was wondering if the following is possible..
I want to use MathML or maybe javascript graphics and essentially create a real-time math preview. So I want to have a text box where you insert your source code, and I want the preview box to update automatically.
For example, say I want the preview box to refresh every time the user enters a space character. Is there a way to get only the new source code entered to render in the preview box without having to re-render the entire preview every time?
For example, if a user types 2x^3, I want the math equivalent to show up in the preview window. If a user then types in " + 2x" I want just the " + 2x" part to be drawn right next to the already-drawn "2x^3".
Is this possible? Or is the only way to re-render the entire preview every time the user types in a new term? I would like to only change what the user has edited. If a user edits the middle of the math, then I have no choice and have to re-render everything after what the user has just edited, but when the user is editing the math at the very end, can I not just tag it on to the end and render just that little piece?

It might be possible that way, but what seems to provide better control for the user could be to have them save the graph as a layer.Programming Group Advisor

Historians have traced the first Christmas celebration in the New World, America, to the state of Florida, connecting it to an expedition that landed in Bradenton in 1539.
Hernando de Soto led that expedition. A group of more than 600 explorers left Tampa Bay and headed north, setting up a winter encampment in the Florida panhandle.
"De Soto brought priests along, and as observant Catholics, they would have had a Christmas mass," said archaeologist Dr. Dan Seinfeld. "Although it did not resemble the Christmas we associate with Christmas today, it was a solemn occasion with a mass."
Archaeologists found the spot where they settled for winter. Today, it's a small park near downtown Tallahassee.
They found pig bones at the site, which may suggest their Christmas feast included pork.
"To avoid starvation, they brought a herd of pigs with them – which probably introduced wild pigs to the southeast," said Seinfeld.
The explorers did not write about their Christmas celebration, or at least their journals were never recovered if they did.
Seinfeld said the expedition was more concerned about supply routes and preparing for conflict with Native Americans.

|A rising tide
|Saturday, January 11, 2014 9:00 PM
DHI Correspondent
Some workers in Ohio received an automatic pay raise on Jan. 1 when the minimum wage increased by 10 cents to $7.95 per hour. Those workers might be feeling like they are getting the short end of the stick when they realize the same level in Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island saw their lowest wage earners receive increases from 25 to 75 cents per hour. New Jersey jumped their minimum wage by $1.
But no one can touch SeaTac, Washington. On Jan. 1, hotel and transportation workers in this town saw their minimum wage go from $9.32 per hour to $15 - an increase of nearly 61 percent.
One might think these workers would be dancing in the street after receiving these pay hikes. But a funny thing happened to seeing these great big new checks.
To afford the new wages, employers are cutting hours, cutting benefits, or eliminating jobs altogether. One local restaurant owner reported that not only would he not be opening a fourth eatery as had been announced earlier in 2013, he was going to close the doors on one. A hotel financier said they are now stopping plans to build a new hotel in SeaTac. Other business owners have announced they will outsource functions to businesses who are outside the city limits and not liable under the new wage law.
Raising the minimum wage has proved to reduce employment most of the time. In April of 2013, Forbes Magazine published the findings from a 20-year study performed by economists from UC-Irvine and the Federal Reserve Board. They said 85 percent of the time, jobs were lost following a minimum wage increase. They also pointed out that increasing the lowest wage pay also caused an increase in the number of people at or near the poverty line as hours and jobs were slashed.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about two percent of American workers earn the minimum wage. Of that, only three-tenths of one percent are both below the poverty line and earn the minimum wage. This means that most minimum wage earners are young, inexperienced or in their first job. This is supported by the fact that 50 percent of these workers are between the age of 16-24 years of age and half of them earn a raise in their first twelve months of employment.
So what appears to be the result of minimum wage hikes - especially large jumps like the one in SeaTac? Fewer jobs for a segment of the population who needs more opportunities, not an artificial wage floor.
Now some members of the U.S. Congress and the Obama administration are making noise about raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $10.10 by 2016. Added to the already sky high uncertainty over the effects of Obamacare on businesses - and its benefits of turning more workers into part-time employees - this proposal could extend the current U.S. economic condition for years and continue the "jobless recovery" the Obama administration has been bemoaning.
We urge Washington D.C., to reject the minimum wage increase. Instead of passing legislation that discourages investment and jobs, encourage a business environment that fosters an increase in better paying jobs - not artificially - but in a free job market where these workers can increase their wages through opportunity and experience. Only then will the economy grow at a sustainable rate.

In the theatre world they're called triple threats: performers who can sing, dance and act. But add to that the ability to play an instrument and compose music and you've got talent out of the ball park. One local 14-year-old student does all that and has written a composition that's taken him on an amazing journey.Commodore Primous is only a freshman but is a stand-out among his peers at Pebblebrook High School's performing arts magnet program.Commodore doesn't live anywhere near the Mableton school, but says that being in his element is well worth the commute.
"I feel like [music] is a huge part, like it actually defines me, you know, as a person," Primous said.In school he focuses on voice and dance, but Commodore has also mastered five other instruments, including his favorite -- the piano.
A piece that Commodore wrote in the eighth grade, "The Triumph of Day," caught the attention a friend, who urged him to enter it in to a contest sponsored by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. The winner would have their composition performed in a live concert by the symphony itself. Commodore's piece was named the winner."I was like 'wait,did I win that?' and she said, 'Yes.' And I was like 'whoo,' I was bouncing off the walls, I was so excited," he said. Michael Kurth, an Atlanta Symphony musician who judged the contest and helped fine tune the piece, had high praise for Commodore. "It had layers, it had rhythm parts and it had harmony parts and it had accompaniment parts," Kurth said. "It takes a talented youngster to write something that's both beautiful and sophisticated."The high school freshman has his composition played to a packed house by a symphony orchestra in front of fellow students. "It's really cool that I got to be a part of this experience and hear the orchestra play my song, and they played it beautifully," Primous said. The 14-year-old said he's simply doing what he loves to do."I sleep, I wake up, eat and play music until I eat again and then sleep," he said. Musical talent runs in Commodore's family -- his mom, dad and younger sisters all play instruments.The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra is going to include Commodore's piece in their regular public concert series on April 4 and 5.

For Beginners: Anjali Mudra
If you have attended even one yoga class, it is a familiar gesture: the drawing together of one's palms at the heart. Your teacher may bring his or her hands together while saying "Namaste" at the beginning or end of a class. You may find this gesture within certain asanas�in Tadasana (Mountain Pose), before you begin Sun Salutations, or in balance poses such as Vrksasana (Tree Pose). This sacred hand position, called anjali mudra (AHN-jah-lee MOO-dra), is found throughout Asia and has become synonymous with our images of the East, from the smiling face of the Dalai Lama peering over his fingertips to images of devotees before a Hindu or Buddhist altar.
In the West, we translate this gesture as a posture of prayer. Because we have grown up with this gesture as part of our culture, each of us probably has our own personal connection to this mudra�positive or negative. Some of us may find a subconscious resistance to bringing our hands together as if it were a sign of submission. However, the beauty of this gesture, which positions us right at the core of our being, is timeless and universal. I know a 3-year-old who is delighted to greet people this way and an actor who prepares himself with this gesture before entering the stage. As we explore the significance and potential of this mudra, be open to your own experience and ways that this simple yet powerful hand position can be a practical tool in your practice and daily life. In Sanskrit, mudra means "seal" or "sign" and refers not only to sacred hand gestures but also whole body positions that elicit a certain inner state or symbolize a particular meaning. Anjali mudra is but one of thousands of types of mudras that are used in Hindu rituals, classical dance, and yoga. Anjali itself means "offering," and in India this mudra is often accompanied by the word "namaste" (or "namaskar," depending on one's dialect). As the consummate Indian greeting, like a sacred hello, namaste is often translated as "I bow to the divinity within you from the divinity within me." This salutation is at the essence of the yogic practice of seeing the Divine within all of creation. Hence, this gesture is offered equally to temple deities, teachers, family, friends, strangers, and before sacred rivers and trees. Anjali mudra is used as a posture of composure, of returning to one's heart, whether you are greeting someone or saying goodbye, initiating or completing an action. As you bring your hands together at your center, you are literally connecting the right and left hemispheres of your brain. This is the yogic process of unification, the yoking of our active and receptive natures. In the yogic view of the body, the energetic or spiritual heart is visualized as a lotus at the center of the chest. Anjali mudra nourishes this lotus heart with awareness, gently encouraging it to open as water and light do a flower.
Begin by coming into a comfortable sitting position like Sukhasana (Easy Pose). Lengthen your spine out of your pelvis and extend the back of your neck by dropping your chin slightly in. Now, with open palms, slowly draw your hands together at the center of your chest as if to gather all of your resources into your heart. Repeat that movement several times, contemplating your own metaphors for bringing the right and left side of yourself�masculine and feminine, logic and intuition, strength and tenderness�into wholeness. Now, to reveal how potent the placement of your hands at your heart can be, try shifting your hands to one side or the other of your midline and pause there for a moment. Don't you feel slightly off kilter? Now shift back to center and notice how satisfying the center line is, like a magnet pulling you into your core. Gently touch your thumbs into your sternum (the bony plate at the center of the rib cage) as if you were ringing the bell to open the door to your heart. Broaden your shoulder blades to spread your chest open from the inside. Feel space under your armpits as you bring your elbows into alignment with your wrists. Stay here for some time and take in your experience. What initial shifts of consciousness do you experience? Is there a change in your mood?

Southern Vermont College student recognized for involvementMay 07,2013SVC student wins award
BENNINGTON Southern Vermont College student Hanifah Presley received the Engaged Student Award from the Vermont Campus Compact at the 2013 Engaged Campus Forum last month.
The campus compact is a consortium of Vermonts colleges and universities committed to civic engagement.
Presley, of Brooklyn, N.Y., received the award after a significant investment of time and energy in activities that promote and support engagement at Southern Vermont among her peers.
Since 2011, Presley has been active in MooseCorps, a community service club that provides service opportunities for the entire college community, worked many hours at One World Conservation Center in Bennington and sold Candy Grams to raise funds for the American Heart Association.
In a statement, Corie Steinke, the colleges residence director and civic engagement coordinator, said Presleys greatest strength is her willingness to communicate helpfully with other students.
As a community partner of Southern Vermont College, the Greater Bennington Interfaith Council was recognized as a finalist for the Engaged Community Partner Award, which recognizes the support of the Colleges civic mission.
Members of The Greater Bennington Interfaith Council worked with the colleges provost, Albert DeCiccio, and professors, Thomas Redden and Tracey Forest, and as guest lecturers for the course Comparative Religions.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late...

DALLAS -- In Deanna Cook's last 911 call, garbled and pleading screams to the operator and her abuser are audible as her murder was recorded.
Cook was allegedly strangled in August by her ex-husband. Cook's mother said her daughter's daughters were raised on fear.
In each of the 13,000 domestic violence incidents in Dallas every year, untold numbers of children are witness and victims.
"He used to hit me a lot," 15-year-old Makayla said of her step-father. "He would make me clean out his crack pipe. When I would walk back and forth, he would cut me on my legs with a butter knife."
"She cries a lot," 15-year old Darius said of abuse his mother suffered.
The two teens were born into brutality.
The Family Place Safe Campus cares for dozens of youngsters like them, whose mothers have sought shelter. All of them with childhoods lost to domestic terror.
Sakia Johnson is a case manager and counselor at The Family Place.
"Symptoms [of witnessing or being a victim of abuse] could be nightmares, insomnia," Johnson said. "Sometimes with older kids, they can become truant, they can have overall aggressive behavior."
Johnson said it's very challenging for children to unlearn violent behavior when they think is normal.
"If it's not addressed, they start to think this is how it's supposed to be," she said. "This is how you commonly deal with someone. But if it is addressed by counseling or therapy, then they can have a change of thought."
For the innocents, hands aren't just for artwork like that on the halls of The Family Place. They are weapons.
Makayla and Darius both used theirs to protect their mothers, even from a young age.
"I remember when I was nine, I was really violent and really mean to everyone," Makayla said.
"I don't like my mama being hurt," said Darius, who admitted he lashes out with words and fists.
A week into escape from his mother's abuser, Darius is still shut down. Talking about what he has endured is difficult. A month into freedom, Makayla feels a burden lifted.
"[Now I'm] not as scared, because when I go to school, my mom's okay and it's okay. And my brother's okay," she said.
Her physical bruises have faded. But children of family violence say the pain lasts forever.
"Get out," Makayla advised mothers who stay with destructive men. "No child should have to see that, or experience that, or be scared like that. It's not okay and it needs to stop."

Costanza invented the holiday Festivus, because he wanted to remove the traditional and commercial aspects of Christmas. Instead of a traditional Christmas tree, there is simply an aluminum pole.

With the 29th overall pick, the Bears landed a player they coveted in OT Gabe Carimi, who is expected to be a starter from Day One. The 6-7, 314-pound Outland Trophy winner could start at right tackle if J'Marcus Webb moves from right to left tackle, which he said he's willing to do. Here is PFW draft expert Nolan Nawrocki's scouting report on Carimi:
Notes: Parade All-American as a two-way lineman who also competed in track as a prep. Redshirted in 2006. The following season, replaced Browns '07 third overall pick Joe Thomas, starting all 13 games at left tackle. Started all 10 games played in '08 but missed three after tearing his right MCL against Ohio State. Sprained his right knee in '09 fall camp but returned to start all 13 games at left tackle. Suffered an AC sprain in his left shoulder in October but did not miss any time. Won the Outland Trophy in '10 after starting all 13 games at left tackle. Team captain. Did not perform shuttles at the Combine because of a left ankle sprain.
Positives: Has a short trunk, long torso and very long arms. Plays with a good base and balance. Efficient leveraging the edge and sliding in pass protection. Rose to the occasion against top competition, handling Iowa's Adrian Clayborn and Ohio State's Cameron Heyward and showing he could match up against size and create some push off the line of scrimmage. Solid technician with good footwork. Works to the second level and fits cleanly on linebackers. Very tough and will play through injuries. Showed surprisingly well at the Senior Bowl. Smart and assignment-sound. Takes the game seriously, works hard and wants to improve.
Negatives: Needs to get stronger in the lower body and play with more consistent knee bend. Not does have enough lead in his pants or snarls. Not powerful and too often falls off blocks. Has a white-collar mentality at a blue-collar position and carries an inflated opinion of himself. Thinks he is better than he is and came off as arrogant and selfish in interviews at the Combine. Durability is concerning — was consistently slowed by injuries. Did not look comfortable on the inside at the Senior Bowl. Appeared very upright and slipped multiple times in positional drills at the Combine.
Summary: A long-limbed, rangy leaner who may never be great, but answered questions about an injury-riddled junior season and showed the mental toughness to win tough battles as a senior. Some NFL evaluators have projected him to the ORT and OG positions, but should be able to step into the starting lineup readily at left tackle in the pros like he did in college. Compares favorably to Giants 1999 19th overall pick Luke Petitgout.
NFL projection: First-round pick.

text: Crews today are starting to tear down the Iberville Housing Project on the edge of the French Quarter. The Housing Authority of New Orleans say it is "the City's last standing conventional public housing development." HANO says that today marks the beginning of the demolition of 59 of the 75 buildings on the site of the Iberville Housing Development. "The revitalization of the Iberville housing site and the implementation of HUD's $30.5 million Choice Neighborhoods Initiative will reenergize Iberville and Treme," Mayor Mitch Landrieu said in a news release. "The construction of new, low, moderate and market rate housing complete with retail, school, and public space improvements will strengthen these important neighborhoods that are at the heart of our city." The mayor adds that building new mixed income communities in place of the development will be better for everyone. "By connecting residents with wrap around services like high quality resources, programs, and training in workforce development, education, health, and transit, New Orleans will stand as a national model for redeveloping urban neighborhoods. This project will create better housing, safer streets, and economic development." This comes after the feds provided cash for the project to replace the project built in 1941. In 2011, HUD gave HANO and the City of New Orleans $30.5 million to transform the Iberville development and to revitalize the historic Treme neighborhood. City Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer said, "This demolition brings us one step closer to the complete redevelopment of Iberville. I commend HANO for creating a plan that incorporates the area's history and historic structures into the final design. The demolition is also an opportunity for the city to create jobs, support local small businesses and DBE's, and provide work experience and workforce skills for our citizens. The redevelopment will incorporate a construction training program for residents, which is essential, as cultivating our own citizens with job development skills is key to the viability of our city long-term." Officials say about 100 families are still living in the housing project, but will be moved out by January. For more information, visit www.cnineworleans.org.

PASCO, Wash.-- The City of West Richland just signed a contract with the Franklin County Jail to house inmates for them if the Benton County jail cannot.
At the Franklin County jail, construction is underway to expand the overcrowded facility and make room for more inmates to come.
That expansion is generating interest from surrounding cities and agencies to sign contracts allowing their inmates to move in.
It's an agreement Franklin County has with almost every surrounding city.
"It's good to be good neighbors and have something lined out so if something should ever in the future come up and we do have ample beds and they need beds, it's just a good way to do business," said Rick Miller, Franklin County Commissioner.
It's a business contract that outlines fees to house an inmate and the cities pick up the whole tab.
Miller said it's just one of the many ways the Tri-Cities is working together across agencies.
"As we grow we need to become more efficient and interlocal agreements will provide that," Miller said.
These contracts are not just efficient, they can also be a money maker.
"If they were someone that would meet our criteria to book we could book them and charge them for it," said Capt. Richard Long, Franklin County Corrections Division.
Currently the jail is at nearly double their capacity, but the expansion will give them new options.
"We're going to have bed space to rent. In doing that we're open to folks to come in or other agencies to come in here and house their prisoners with us for a daily rate," Long said.
Until construction is complete, Long said they won't be taking any inmates from outside the county unless it's for a short term hold.
But when the new building opens, the expanded jail could be provide a new source of revenue.
"It's good business. It's good for this county if we can make money," Long said.
The Franklin County Jail also has interlocal agreements with all three of the Tri-Cities and surrounding cities like Connell.
Construction on the jail will be completed next spring.

Thanks for the post - I had not heard of this new gun yet.,..
http://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/w...her_PPX_02.jpg The new Walther PPX was on display at the NASGW Expo, and regular readers of this site have probably already seen some of the photos of the pistol. Here are some more details on the gun and some of my observations.
The new PPX will be available in 9mm and .40 S&W. The 9mm version will hold 16 rounds in the magazine. Alternatively, the .40 S&W will pack 14 rounds into the mag. Either way, you should have an adequate amount of felon repellant should it be needed. http://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/w...her_PPX_07.jpg.
A Must have!!!!!

Not too much discussion on the PPX, huh? I love mine. My only question is why doesn't it like the new nickel plated bullets? The operator of the range I go to said the gun wouldn't shoot them reliably, but didn't say why. Anyone have any information on this?
