The three Quartets dedicated to Count Rasumovsky belong to 1806; the first of them, the F major, is the most expansive. Its first movement, indeed, ranks with that of the 'Eroica' as one of the broadest and deepest structures of his middle period — it blends the majesty and energy of the 'Eroica' with the serenity of the Violin Concerto. The Quartet also resembles the 'Eroica' in its slow movement, a kind of funeral march, in which, however, the grief is private rather than public. The largeness of the 'Eroica's first movement is dictated by a surprising C sharp in the bass near the beginning, something that can be explained away only after a long process. In the quartet, Beethoven faces us with a large expansion at the very start; the cello theme proliferates magnificently, and the first surprise comes only after we are already convinced that this is going to be a big movement.
The scale, in fact, is so great that (unlike the 'Eroica') this movement is compelled to feint at a repeat of the exposition; it returns to the tonic and the opening theme, only to veer off into foreign keys and the development.
There are a thousand things to notice in this wonderful movement, but one great stroke of genius should not go unremarked here. At length the wide-ranging development reaches the home dominant, the violin tracing serene triplets as it soars over the rising harmonies of the middle parts and the C pedal of the cello (bars 236-240). We reach the tonic, but with the 'wrong' theme. The mystification that follows is both poetic and structurally necessary, and creates the need for the superb gesture with which the recapitulation actually begins (bars 250-254).
The essentially calm first movement is followed by the most unusually constructed scherzo Beethoven ever wrote. There is no 'trio' and the whole is a kind of sonata movement of extraordinary irregularity, dominated by the cello's opening rhythmic figure, some of whose recurrences have an almost rondo-like effect. There are many themes, and many strange modulations in unexpected places. In this fascinatingly original piece lies the source of such widely differing things as the scherzos of Mendelssohn and Mahler. There is both pathos and humour in it, and its rather subdued quality is enhanced by its subdominant key, B flat, from which Beethoven drops naturally into the tonic minor (F minor) for the profound and dark Adagio. This scarely ever leaves minor tonalities (it has none of the bright contrasts of the Funeral March of the 'Eroica', and its second group is in C minor). A faint gleam of light occurs near the end, with running passages, and brightens into the brilliant F major Finale, based on a Russian folk song. Unlike some finales, this is a straightforward sonata movement, not a sonata-rondo, and unlike the first movement it finds room for a repeat of the exposition, with which it achieves the rondo-sense characteristic of many last movements. It has sometimes been asserted that in treating the main (Russian) tune as a lighthearted one, Beethoven mistook its real tempo, which is slow and sad. But Beethoven, near the end of the movement, tenderly and humorously reminds us that it is we who have been deceived.

Federated search is very much at the heart of OSTI's ability to realize its mission.
As a staff member involved in OSTI's Web presence, it was personally satisfying today to hear Google's J.L. Needham mention OSTI in testimony to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Mr. Needham cited OSTI as an example of a government Web site that increased citizen access to government information by incorporating Google's sitemap protocol.
Yesterday my son had an emergency appendectomy - these days a pretty routine procedure. But far from routine was the array of drugs offered to get him through the long night ahead.
In 2005, the idea of creating a global science gateway for the web was conceived at OSTI. It would make the best collections of scientific information from nations around the world act as if they were a single enormous collection. It would be searchable via a single query, and it would be available at no cost to anyone anywhere with web access.

THE SITUATION IN SPAIN Sept 1936?
On the 1st September, I received through the LSI a letter from Pietro Nenni in Madrid, which stated that "under these circumstances, the question of material must be regarded as the main one. The present state of deadlock cannot last for long and will turn out in favour of that side which can get hold of material. Thus the position here is determined by that in Europe. We may experience some very unpleasant surprises if the Fascist States merely play at non-intervention".
On the same day, I immediately got into touch with Jouhaux, who had returned from a journey, in order to discuss with him the possibilities of co-ordinating help for Spain. Jouhaux is in the middle of negotiations with the Ministry of Marine to get a ship for transporting food supplies to Spain. He found himself up against great obstacles. Jouhaux had also been approached by Fimmen, who is in Paris, on the subject of organising ITF assistance for Spain. Fimmen stated that he had had a chance in the previous week to get hold of a considerable supply of material for the Spaniards, and he said that he still had an organisation which could assure the supply of material to Spain by sea. Fimmen was expecting Nathans, who was coming from Spain the next day.
We met him at the station early on the morning of 2nd September. His report - he has been in Madrid, some other Spanish towns and at the Guadarrama Front - showed that he had on the whole got a good impression. [All the People in arms were] A whole nation, in arms, is on the side of the Government, and there was a steady and universal resolve to fight to the last ditch. The war is terrible. The rebels execute all their prisoners. The Government troops set free their rank-and-file prisoners, who mostly join up with them, only the rebel officers being executed. In Cordova 400 railwaymen were shot for refusing to work for the rebels. There is no lack of food in Madrid, except of salt fish, one of the staple foods of the workers. The ITF arranged with Gomez, who is in charge of supplies for Madrid, to despatch salt fish, this will be arranged with Norway. What is lacking is material. Nathans saw soldiers being drilled, where some hundred soldiers only had ten or twenty guns between them. Nathans brought a message from Caballero, that they need material and beg that everything be done to supply it.
There seems to be a great divergence between the Left and Right wings of our Movement, so great, in fact, that leaders of one side would not meet Nathans at the same time as representatives of the other. For the moment they are solid against the common enemy, but when the fight is over, it is likely that the Left wing will go over to the Communists, who are in fact to-day much more moderate than the left wing. Great difficulties are in any case expected to arise after the civil war from the Anarchists, who are arming themselves, confiscating cars, but not going to the Front, only remaining in occupation of the towns.
In the afternoon of the 2nd September, Nathans and Fimmen again went to see Jouhaux, to whom Nathans gave a report. Jouhaux then declared himself prepared to buy material out of the funds collected by the CGT, in reply to Fimmen's enquiry as to what he intended to do with the money.
I had telephoned earlier to Adler, who in Schevenels' absence is in charge of the International Solidarity Fund, in order to know when I could see him or when he could, if possible, hear Nathans' report. As Nathans and Fimmen did not want to stay in Paris any longer, and as Jouhaux also had to be in Brussels on

HTC has announced its new flagship smartphone, the new HTC One, which features the latest Android Jelly Bean OS and LTE network technology, and is powered by a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor.
Wrapped in an aluminium unibody, the updated HTC One device features a 4.7-inch, Full HD (1080p) screen with 468ppi resolution.
The new HTC One also introduces the company's new Sense innovations. At the center of the new HTC One experience is BlinkFeed, a new experience that transforms the home screen into a single live stream of personally relevant information such as social updates, entertainment and lifestyle updates, news and photos with immersive images so that users no longer need to go to separate applications to find out what's happening.
For the new smartphone, HTC developed a custom back camera with f/2.0 aperture lens and a sensor with the HTC UltraPixel Camera. Engineered with larger pixels, the UltraPixel sensor enables each pixel to capture more than 300% more light than most leading 13 megapixel cameras, the vendor said.
The new HTC One will be available globally through more than 185 mobile operators and major retailers in more than 80 regions and countries beginning in March.

When Rhode Island Roots began publication in 1975, the publication served both as a newsletter for the newly formed Rhode Island Genealogical Society (RIGS) and as an aid to careful genealogical research. While it was short and unsophisticated in design, Roots was a serious publication assembled by people with considerable genealogical experience. This update includes volumes 11-15, publication years 1985-1989, and adds more than 21,000 records to this collection.
Each issue of the quarterly journal, now 52 pages, features at least one compiled genealogy along with Bible records, transcriptions of original sources, book reviews, and studies of the genealogical implications of historical events. Indices of land and Notarial records and petitions to the General Assembly, transcriptions of estimates of ratable estate, gravestones, and early census records all provide invaluable clues to Rhode Island genealogy. The authors include well-known genealogists as well as RIGS members with stories of their own families to tell.
Other Rhode Island databases available through our digital collections include Rhode Island Vital Records, 1636-1850; Rhode Island Historical Cemeteries Database Index; and Members of the Artillery Company of Newport, Rhode Island.
