BOSTON (AP) -- The state's oversight of compounding pharmacies will be the subject of a legislative hearing.
Massachusetts lawmakers called for the Statehouse hearing on Wednesday in the wake of a nationwide fungal meningitis outbreak linked to a steroid distributed by Framingham-based New England Compounding Center. The outbreak has sickened more than 400 people and caused more than 30 deaths.
The state pharmacy board is under scrutiny for its handling of past complaints against the company. The board's director, James Coffey, was fired last week.
The Massachusetts board falls under the umbrella of the state Department of Public Health. The agency also faces questions about its oversight of a now-closed state lab, where a former chemist has been accused of mishandling drug tests.

By KRISTIN FARLEY 6 News Anchor/Reporter
CHATTANOOGA (WATE) - The U.S. cycling team and a Canadian runner are among the Olympic athletes using a product made in Chattanooga.
Made in Tennessee visited the Swiftwick factory where 200 needles, 300 computer instructions and endless spools of high quality thread are part of their hundreds of different kinds of socks.
Lance Armstrong and the Radio Shack team in the 2008 Tour de France used Swiftwick socks. Golfer Scott Stallings is another sock celeb.
"We actually received a call for the Olympic cycling team. They requested our socks," said Marketing Director Jillian Wagner. "That made our day!"
Wagner says other athletes in London are wearing their socks too, but they're not allowed to talk about specifics during the games because of the International Olympic Committee's Rule 40.
"We want to shout from the roof tops these are the athletes in our socks. It's just been tough not to say anything," she said.
But Wagner herself is a serious athlete, and she told us why Swiftwick's socks stand out. "I was a fan of the brand long before I came on here at Swiftwick. I am a runner and a tri-athlete and socks can make or break your race or even your training day."
There are many compression socks on the market that help with circulation, but Swiftwick co-founder Mark Cleveland says the science behind his socks uses a high quality, expensive fiber often associated with carpets called Olefin. Add to that a silver-based, anti-microbial technology that Cleveland says will stand up for the life of the socks.
In essence, it keep the odors out. "During the testing process, we got athletes together for a stink challenge," Cleveland said.
And possibly the biggest difference in most of the Swiftwick socks is that they're made without a toe seam.
"The elimination of the toe seam is a revolution. It is an automated, mechanical process." Cleveland explained. "It is reliable, sustainable and repeatable. So we have a really high performance, long lasting product."
The linked toe technology is helping the company advance in another area as well.
With no seam and amazing moisture wicking ability, amputees may finally get the relief they wanted.
John Mabry lost his leg 11 years ago in a car accident. For the past few years, he has urged Swiftwick to make an amputee sock.
Mabry now works for Swiftwick in product development and an amputee sock will hit the market at the end of August.
"We had a quadruple amputee wearing the socks for a few month now. He broke a record in a Paralympic trial in Indiana. He is out pushing the limits, and we have been a part of him taking it to the next level," Mabry said.
Swiftwick has also made a special USA sock you can buy in the medal dash when the Olympic games are over. It will be offered at a discount based on the final U.S. medal count.

SyncML DM protocol can be used to set device specific settings.
Query -1
Infact "Introduction_To_Advance_Device_Management_v1_0_en[2].pdf" document on http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/reso...anagement.html
talks about using SyncML DM to set all the Nokia UI properties like Screen savers, wall papers , start up graphics etc. All this has been supported on Series 60 3rd editionn devices.
I want to know if it can be possible to set the default ring tone as well on these devices.
Query -2
Similarly the document "Series 40 Platform 3rd edition: OMA Device Management" talks about "Customization and Configuration Management Object" which says that many customization features for Series 40 3rd edition devices will be implemented.
So i would like to know where can i get information about all these customization and configuration objects for Series 40 and what device properties that refer to.
Query -3
Is there any implementation of SyncML DM on Series 40 2nd edition and Series 60 2nd edition devices ?
Query -4
As mentioned in Query-1 , it is possible to change some properties of the S60 3rd edition devices (e.g start up graphics, screenn savers) using SyncML DM and Advance Device Management.
Is there any similar thing for Series 60 2nd edition and Series 40 2nd edition device?

What is CHP?
Energy is the most significant driving force of our economy. All buildings need electric power for lighting and operating equipment and appliances. One of the major consumers of energy in buildings is the equipment for space conditioning. Most commercial and institutional buildings for businesses, education, and healthcare require space conditioning for cooling, heating, and/or humidity control.
Two-thirds of all the fuel used to make electricity in the U.S. is generally wasted by venting unused thermal energy, from power generation equipment, into the air or discharging into water streams. While there have been impressive energy efficiency gains in other sectors of the economy since the oil price shocks of the 1970's, the average efficiency of power generation within the U.S. has remained around 33% since 1960. The average overall efficiency of generating electricity and heat by conventional systems is around 51 percent.
A 1 MW natural gas reciprocating engine in a combined heat and power application produces 35 units of electricity and 50 units of heat with only 100 units of fuel. Losses amount to 15 units of energy. With conventional generation, the losses are more substantial: 165 units of fuel are needed to produce the same amount of useful electricity and heat, with total losses of 80 units of energy.
Combined heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration is the production of two forms of useful energy from a single fuel source. In most CHP applications, energy from a fuel source such as natural gas or oil is converted to both mechanical and thermal energy. The mechanical energy is used to generate electricity, while the thermal energy or heat is used to produce steam, hot water, or hot air. Depending on the application, CHP is referred to by various names including Building Cooling, Heating, and Power (BCHP); Cooling, Heating, and Power for Buildings (CHPB); Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power (CCHP); Integrated Energy Systems (IES), or Distributed Energy Resources (DER).
Integrated combined heat and power (CHP) systems significantly increase efficiency of energy utilization, up to 85%, by using thermal energy from power generation equipment for cooling, heating and humidity control systems. These systems are located at or near the building using power and space conditioning, and can save about 40% of the input energy required by conventional systems. In other words, conventional systems require 65% more energy than the integrated systems, as shown in the above diagram.
Commercial buildings, college campuses, hospital complexes, and government facilities are good candidates for benefiting from integrated CHP systems. The CHP systems can be economically attractive for many types of buildings, including, but not limited to the following:

Participatory Capital Investment Program in Kavaja
Most recent changes by Kevin Um on Sun, 03/10/2013 - 22:19
Participatory Capital Investment Program in Kavaja (ALBANIA)
Kavaja is one of the thirty-six provinces of Albania and is part of Tirana County. It has a population of 82,921 (2010 estimate), and an area of 414 km². Participatory Capital Investment Program (CIP) was formulated by the Municipality of Kavaja for the 2011-2014 period. It is an important document drafted with the participation of citizens that facilitates the preparation of the Medium term Budget Program especially in the field of investments through a better public finance management. This participatory project was financed by SOROS - Open Society Foundation for Albania and its implementation lasted for a period of six months (January – July 2010). The CIP document was designed to combine technical data provided by the Municipality of Kavaja. It aimed to promote possible projects under current policies and contains a list of projects selected by the Citizens Committee for a period of 3-5 years. The Committee selected the projects on the basis of such criteria as total project cost and financing for each year and for each stage, relevant sector, sources of funding, etc.
Purpose of the Participatory Process
The main aim of this project was to ensure citizen participation. Special emphasis was placed on the improvement of governance as well as the capacity of local governmental institutions, all in the context of decentralization through the development of a 3-5 year Capital Investment Plan (CIP). It aimed at an efficient management of resources, as well as the implementation of priority capital investment for the community. Investments were focused on the improvement of local governance as well as the growth of mutual trust and cooperation of citizens within the administrative subdivisions within the town ('districts'). The main objective was to promote awareness amongst residents of six districts. These residents were encouraged to be part of the decision-making process in capital investment planning. Residence also were given detailed information about projects being implemented by URI* (Urban Research Institute) .
Targets: • Communicating the meaning and the importance of the project and providing support from the administration and interested stakeholders to the process; • Informing and mobilizing the public to involve it in public meetings making investment proposals concerning their neighborhoods; • Developing a long-term plan for capital investment.
Participant Selection
Attracting citizens' opinion on the capital investment needs was conducted at three open meetings for six neighborhoods. The Municipality of Kavaja has 38,260 inhabitants or 10,300 families. After these meetings, 150 questionnaires were distributed to attract civic and business opinion on the definition of the three most important capital investments for them. Stakeholders who took part in the meetings were: members of the community (residents under six main areas according to a stratified sampling of the population); members from the business community (builders, architects, engineers); members from NGOs; youth groups; active community women; Chamber of commerce; local media (TV6 and TV2); representatives from the Municipality (municipal council members and head directors including the Chairperson itself). The total number of citizens that took part in open meetings was 195, 14% of which were women. Due to past negative experiences met by the Municipality in regards to the low level of participation of women and youth in its activities, subsequently separate meetings with these groups were held.
Deliberations, Decisions, and Public Interaction
All information has been collected through either open public meetings or questionnaires that involved about 330 civic and interest groups. One in 30 families of Kavaja took part in this project. It was based on four main phases: mobilization (Municipality representatives' meeting, the establishment of workgroups); information (community awareness, open meetings for deliberation, questionnaires); data analysis (preparation of the draft document for each area); finalizing (advocacy with local government and final approval). The information collected through the process contained 543 proposals. In the second phase the municipalities' information was matched with the citizens' proposals. The proposals mainly concerned the development of urban infrastructure and cultural events. All existing information provided by citizen participation were included in the list of priority projects approved by the Municipal Council. In cooperation with the municipal staff, the list was prioritized according to the town districts. About 51% of them were public service projects and roads. URI's Support in the third phase aimed to prepare the final list of prioritized projects based on criteria established by consensus, all with a common strategic vision. In the fourth phase the Commission (constituted by 33 members: Municipality representatives, district administrators, civil society, business' members and ordinary citizens) received at least two trainings on the evaluation methods and presented the final list which resulted in 388 investments.
All meetings were organized on the basis of an agenda. The opening was performed by the vice Mayor and a project coordinator. Citizens proposed projects related to their district and city improvements. All proposals were registered by the director of public services of the Municipality. Participants nominated people to represent them in the project evaluation Commission. All meetings were covered by local media and ordinary citizens were interviewed about the organization and the importance of this process.
Influence, Outcomes and Effects
Financial information was analyzed in order to identify needs and the possible sources of support for the CIP. Projects were categorized in years with a technical and financial feasibility description alongside. URI has organized the training of the Municipal Financial Department on 3-5 year financial planning. The capital investment projects can be budgeted each year from the Department's own resources or by other available conditional resources. In cooperation with the staff of Municipality of Kavaja the citizen proposals was implemented. The majority of requests were for roads and sidewalks (40%), public services (20.6%), and public water services and sanitation (18.1%). Following the final public presentation during the last phase of this participatory project the document was approved by the Municipal Council and has been published.
- URI is a nonprofit policy research organization located in Tirana (capital of Albania), which emphasize and encourage the decentralization of responsibility, authority and accountability of various local governments throughout Albania.

"If I thought I was doing a poor job and I thought maybe we should have been better, maybe it would have been different," Jordan said. "But we were not on the same page and this is not the team that everyone thinks it should be. If you're going to do it for marketing, for fans, and for the media, that's for the wrong things. Be honest and be sincere about where you are as a team. And as an organization. So it didn't happen. And that's how I feel about it." ... Jordan was asked if he believes Arenas can be the leader that Flip Saunders needs him to be for this team succeed, and he didn't exactly give him an endorsement. . . "He's capable of leading them in scoring and he's capable of leading them in having a presence that's very competitive and that's very contagious," Jordan said. "I don't know if he can be a leader -- I just don't know that, I'm not saying he can't be, I just don't know if he can be."Eddie Jordan discussing the Wizards both this season and last. To clarify, the first quote was about the Wizards last season, while the second one about Gilbert was concerning his potential as a leader now. I have to say, I partially agree with Eddie on the first quote, and fully agree with him on the second.
In NBA circles Idan Ravin [aka The Hoops Whisperer] inspires a wide range of reactions. Some coaches, such as the 76ers' Eddie Jordan, see him as a resource. A few years ago, when Jordan was coaching the Wizards, he had a hard time talking with Brendan Haywood, the center who was then sharing minutes with Etan Thomas and was none too happy about it. "Brendan loved working out with [Ravin]," Jordan remembers, "so I went to Idan and asked, 'How do you keep a positive relationship with Brendan?' " Ravin explained that Haywood merely wanted to be involved, to be part of the process. "You think he's challenging you, but all you have to do is ask his opinion," Ravin said. "Brendan's a cerebral guy. Empower him." Jordan took the advice to heart. "I carried it over to my daily regimen, the idea that this is what I have to do with Brendan," he says, "and by the end we had a great relationship."via 'The Hoops Whisperer' by Chris Ballard, Sports Illustrated
Because the Wizards ran an up-tempo offense during Jordan's tenure, he is known as an offensive-minded coach, but a source close to him indicated that the fast pace matched the team's personnel and that Jordan was as adept on the defensive side of the ball.Bwahahaha! I'm sorry, this is too funny and ridiculous to not post.
In Washington, of course, Eddie Jordan fought through injuries to give the franchise four straight playoff appearances, and he was rewarded with a hearty firing once the injuries (to Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood) were too much to overcome. Now, it's Reggie Theus, who was given a roster on which half the players were 25 or younger, with the added bonus of having two of his top players, Francisco Garcia and Kevin Martin, out for big chunks of the year -- Garcia and Martin have played in one game together. But the Kings were losing, so, fire the coach. The fact that these firings have all come in rapid succession is, in part, coincidence. But there's a little more to it than that. Around the league, patience is at an all-time low, which could very well be the fault of the league's best team -- Boston. Don't forget that, at this time two years ago, the Celtics were a miserable bunch, with Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers on the way out and Paul Pierce angling for the door, too. Now they're the best team in the league and defending champs. "It's ludicrous, but I do think that's a factor," said one general manager. "The Celtics turned things around so fast that everyone is feeling the pressure to do the same. So you get good people fired. But what do you expect? Not everyone can go and trade for Kevin Garnett. I mean, what was Sacramento expecting? Reggie Theus was learning on the job. You have to give it time. But no one wants to give it time." One interesting aspect of all the coaching mayhem has been -- stay with me on this tangent here -- the economy. There's been fear about what the nation's economic troubles will mean for sports, but so far, what we've seen on the court has been unaffected. Except when you look at the coaching ranks. It's still very early in the season, and qualified ex-coaches like Flip Saunders and Avery Johnson (as well as interesting would-be coaches like Mark Jackson) are out there. But every team that has fired its coach has so far said it would stick with its interim coach for the year. Which is a wise thing to do if you're trying to save a buck.Sean Deveney of The Sporting News explaining the recent firing of so many head coaches.
Curry's goal is to keep everyone fresh for the stretch -- which wasn't always the case during former coach Flip Saunders' three-year tenure.Detroit Free Press When thinking about Flip Saunders, consider this.....much along the lines of a complaint about Eddie Jordan.
Coach Jordan said that during the last two practices prior to the Rockets game he focused a great deal on rebounding since that has been lacking during the last few games. He instructed his players to find a body when a shot goes up, rather than looking for the ball or looking to run down court. Coach Jordan quoted legendary Princeton and Sacramento coach Pete Carill when discussing rebounding. Coach Carill told him that rebounders come to the gym with towels because they come prepared to work hard; shooters come to the gym with pretty bags. The assumption being rebounds get down and dirty, shooters do no such thing. Coach Jordan is looking for his players to bring towels.I think we need a lot more towels.
Well, you know, we give guys a chance. And the opportunity is there for them. And if you give great effort, you get the benefit of the doubt. But if it's not enough effort there, and it wasn't sincere effort, then you're not going to play.Eddie Jordan on why Blatche only played 4 minutes last night.
Wizards down one, 9.2 seconds to play, must-win game. What's the play? Wizznutzz: There's a play Eddie Jordan loves to run called "ISO Giant," and it goes like this: Dixon inbounds to McGee. McGee dunks the ball in his own basket. Wizards now down three. Dixon inbounds to Muresan, who has been summoned from VIP lounge, where he runs the executive nacho dispenser. Muresan swings to Jamison in the corner. Defense rotates, but Arenas anticipates the shift, positions wheelchair behind the defender and yanks his shorts down. Jamison drops 3-point finger roll at the buzzer. Analyst Doug Collins screams "Kiss me, Michael!" and stabs DeShawn Stevenson. Wizards make technical free throw, win game. • TrueHoop, ESPN's NBA blogWizznutzz Response to a Truehoop Question
"We're just trying to do what we do. It will be good to defend against another offense instead of our offense, to see other players. We're on the road; it seems like Washington has done a good job in Dallas this year, and we're going to see if we can do the same."Eddie Jordan on Washington's success in Big D this year. No word on Darrell Armstrong's thoughts.
"His approach, his intelligence is top notch," Jordan said. "He is one of the most intelligent guys on the team, in the league. He works on his body, he maintains his body to be big and strong. His defense has improved greatly. There are some subtle things (he can improve on) like screening and cutting - things you guys don't always notice. But overall, his improvement was huge for us. We continue to see him work on his body and his game."Eddie Jordan on Brendan Haywood, via Wizards Insider. I'll have more about this stuff tonight, but there's more about how Eddie sees Etan Thomas as the backup and not as competition for Brendan. This makes me very happy.

LOCK for asp.net developer using vs 2010 and win xp?
I am hiring few extra trainees who will use their personal laptop at my office to work on .net projects.
I want to restrict the code/file access in their laptops with password. Like when they get in office ...they will ask me to type password to start work and when they leave office with their laptop ..i will ensure they "log off" so that cant access the code at their homes.
USB drives are not allowed for trainees & internet access is limited as well.
Note :In my country, laws makers are not that mature in these things ...so have to take this type of measures!

In January, an emotional announcement changed the future of two Catholic schools. Gehlen and Spalding Catholic will unify in the fall, meaning that students will all be headed to Le Mars.
Brady Hansen and his classmates are getting ready to wrap up their junior year. By the fall, they won't be in their familiar surroundings any more.
"It's just tough. I mean, we all kind of figured the day was coming that Spalding would close down but we figured it'd all be a little longer than this," said Hansen.
That's because enrollment figures were down at Spalding Catholic, and had been declining for years. Hansen says spending one year in a new school could be a blessing in disguise. It'll prepare them for college, just with a few extra familiar faces.
"If it was one person going over, you wouldn't know anybody, but now at least we get 15, 20 people you know in your class, and that's going to help a lot," said Hansen.
As 60 new teenagers prepare to leave Granville for Le Mars, the mixing and mingling of students has already begun.
"The freshmen came over and we played games and we got to tour them around the school," said Sydney Peters, a freshman.
"Our kids have really come together well. We started last fall, with football and cheerleading, sharing that together and I think that really helped. And I think they're just kind of naturally blending together," said Jeff Alesch, high school principal at Gehlen Catholic.
Even with the unification process, the schools are still going to be sharing their athletic facilities, like Vosberg Field here in Granville, and several fields all over Le Mars.
"Pretty used to going to Le Mars now, and we'll all car pool. So, it won't be as bad, if you only have to drive once a week," said Hansen.
Bigger class sizes and different teaching styles are another way the students will have to adapt.
"We're trying to figure out where to put these teachers. We'll have to share rooms. Kids are going to have to share more lockers than they do already," said Alesch.
Some worried that students would not make the transition to Gehlen, but school leaders are thrilled that most are staying on.
"We're very excited with the number that are planning to transition to Gehlen. That's been a very positive thing," said Jeanne Jungers, school board president for Spalding.
Many of the teachers at Spalding could transfer Gehlen or switch to the elementary school, to help with larger classes there.
"We will definitely be using all of our space next fall," said Alesch.
Even though there's the normal angst that comes with change, most Gehlen students are ready to embrace their new classmates.
"They've been together for how long and we've been together for how long, and hopefully we'll all just come close," said Megan McCarty, a freshman at Gehlen Catholic.
Spalding Catholic still has several things planned for their high school, including a 50th anniversary celebration over the summer.

AMPA -- T The University of Miami's 49-21 knockout of tomato can South Florida might have looked like an unengrossing mismatch from the stands or the couch.
But at the bottom of the pile of entangled bodies there was abundant drama, according to UM quarterback Stephen Morris, who intimated that his tender ankle was yanked, twisted and otherwise mistreated by the Bulls.
"South Florida is a dirty team to say the least," he said. "I wanted to score 70 points on them. They disrespected us. I had no respect for them at all."
Morris, a gentlemanly sort, was so peeved Saturday that he wanted UM to pour touchdowns upon 0-4 USF after he was removed — grimacing — midway through the second quarter to prevent his ankle injury from getting worse.
"At that point I felt like we should just keep pushing it, keep killing them," Morris said.
It sounds like UM is ready for the season to commence. Morris can't wait to mix it up against a worthy challenger.
After winning three warmup games by an average of 42 points, the Hurricanes certainly appear dominant. They also beat No. 20 Florida 21-16.
But the meaningful part of the schedule begins unfolding Saturday when the Atlantic Coast Conference slate starts with Georgia Tech's visit to Miami. Seven ACC games follow. UM's premier goal is to get to the conference championship game it declined to compete in last year as part of its pre-emptive, self-imposed punishment for NCAA rules violations. A BCS bowl berth is goal 1b.
UM continued to work through its ACC prep checklist at sparsely populated Raymond James Stadium in what was once a promising Sunshine State rivalry. USF, ranked as high as No. 2 in 2007 and a threat to the state's Big Three programs, is rebuilding after the firing of coach Jim Leavitt.
UM coach Al Golden said USF's performance was reminiscent of some he saw from his Canes during his first two seasons.
He's hoping that was part of the learning process that will pay off in year No. 3 of the Golden era.
"We're ready for the ACC," he said. "We need to get healed up. We've done what we needed to in the first third of the season. We got a lot of guys in, we grew up."
It's tough to say how revealing the past month has been for the 4-0 Hurricanes, but it hasn't been totally painless. Morris sprained his right ankle in the 77-7 rout of Savannah State, and ACC opponents will be just as cognizant of any lingering soreness as the Bulls were.
Golden said he went to sleep Friday assuming that backup Ryan Williams would start, and although Morris was ready to go, Williams played most of the game and confirmed Golden's confidence in him. He threw a beautifully timed 54-yard pass to Herb Waters and ran an efficient attack.
"Stephen gets dinged, Ryan comes in and we just move on," Golden said. "Stephen did not go backwards. He will be markedly better this week."
Likewise, Duke Johnson got banged up again after hurtling over center Jared Wheeler.
Johnson went to the sideline and underwent a concussion test for the second game in a row.
"It's fine," said Johnson, who tends to play with Dwyane Wade-like abandon — and vulnerability. "A lot of times it's precautionary measures."
UM occasionally played down to the level of its opponent, a weakness it must correct before venturing inside an ACC stadium where a regrettable upset can ruin a season.
UM fumbled four times — its worst case of butterfingers since 2005. Johnson lost the ball twice, and the one on which he tried to stretch his arms across the goal line while turned around on his back was really careless.
"I lost my concentration," he said. "We've got to be more focused on details."
Special teams penalties negated Johnson's 100-yard kick return for a touchdown and Phillip Dorsett's 61-yard punt return, a waste that Golden called "horrific."
Golden, a stickler for disciplined decision-making, was critical of any "freelancing" that he witnessed.
But he saw plenty of positives. Shayon Green sacked the quarterback and forced a fumble that Jimmy Gaines recovered for a touchdown. Against Florida, Tyriq McCord made a sack and forced a fumble that resulted in the decisive touchdown two plays later by Johnson.
"Now guys are sacking and knocking the ball out and scooping it up," Golden said.
That's 16 sacks so far compared with 13 total last season.
Freshman Stacey Coley, who made two big drops in the opener, now has four touchdowns, including an acrobatic 11-yard catch Saturday.
Progress has been the name of the game. But you could sense from Morris that UM is ready for much more. The calendar flips to a new month and a new season.

An Avant-Gardist's View of America, as Seen From the Back Seat
By BEN SISARIO
Published: July 17, 2007
Every summer, like clockwork, Erik Friedlander's father would pack up the family in their 1966 Chevy pickup, with the two kids in the camper behind. From their home in Rockland County, they headed out West for two to three months of driving, camping, photographing, and more driving and camping.
It's an ordinary summer ritual for an American family, but this family was not quite ordinary. Dad was the photographer Lee Friedlander, a MacArthur fellow whose street scenes and jazz portraits have been shown at the Museum of Modern Art. And Erik Friedlander, now 47, is the premier cellist on the downtown music scene, with a CV that includes collaborations with people from John Zorn to Courtney Love.
In his music Mr. Friedlander has tended toward esoteric themes; his last solo album was based on ''Les Chants du Maldoror,'' the dark prose poem beloved by the French Surrealists. But for his new ''Block Ice & Propane'' (Skipstone) -- the avant-cello album of the summer -- he turned for inspiration to those indelible memories from the back of the camper: peering out into the night sky, visiting kooky relatives, loading up the icebox. The album will be released next month, and Mr. Friedlander will play from it tonight at Joe's Pub.
In pieces like ''King Rig'' and ''Yakima'' Mr. Friedlander offers an idiosyncratic version of American roots music, with steady, folklike themes that unfold like a trip down an endless highway. He plays most of the pieces without a bow, preferring pizzicato and his own adaptation of the finger-picking style of the guitar. The result is loose and meditative.
In making the album, Mr. Friedlander said, he was guided by a single question.
''What is an American sound, what does that even mean?'' he said, sitting at his kitchen table in the spacious but cozy SoHo apartment he shares with his wife, the choreographer Lynn Shapiro, and 8-year-old daughter, Ava. Family photos line the walls, and an armlong section of one bookshelf is devoted to his father's works. ''So I started checking out American music. But I realized that a lot of what I have in my brain about America is from these trips, seeing national parks and small towns and diners and parades -- everything my father wanted to cover.''
Tall and athletic-looking, his hair trimmed to a stubble, Mr. Friedlander demonstrated the techniques he used in making the album. He altered the cello's usual tuning on some tracks to let open strings resound, and as his fingers fluttered over the strings, the instrument sounded at times like a deep, soft banjo.
Mr. Friedlander's dexterity has allowed him a busy career. Besides his work in the jazz and avant-garde worlds -- in the last few weeks he toured in Europe with Mr. Zorn and recorded an album of Mr. Zorn's cello works -- he has lately become an in-demand player among brainy indie-rock acts like the Mountain Goats and John Vanderslice.
''He's not just the go-to guy in the new-music world if you need a cellist,'' said John Schaefer, host of ''New Sounds'' and ''Soundcheck'' on WNYC-FM. ''I mean, he is. But the guy seems like he can play virtually anything really convincingly, whether contemporary classical or indie rock or the downtown jazz thing.''
The Friedlander family trips -- the passengers also included his mother, Maria, and his younger sister, Anna -- were built around his father's assignments and teaching across the country. And while the son did not take part in his father's work, he did absorb some of the trademark Friedlander artistic pragmatism.
''I had a model of someone who just pursued what they needed to do for their art,'' Erik Friedlander said. ''So when I wanted to try to do something different with the cello, I didn't feel like, 'Well, maybe this is impossible, I shouldn't try this.' I know exactly what to do about this: You just do it.''
Mr. Friedlander's parents still live in the same house he grew up in, and his father, at 73, continues to take pictures. His mother said the family trips were planned in part to give their children a sense of the vastness of the country and the variety of the culture outside New York.
''They went fishing, they went hiking, swimming,'' she said of the children's daily itineraries. ''It was also boring and tedious at times. But I think our kids got a sense of what it was to be an American.''
Erik Friedlander plays tonight at Joe's Pub at the Public Theater, 425 Lafayette Street, at Astor Place, East Village, (212) 967-7555, $12.
