RIP Van Buren
RIP: Steve Van Buren, the Hall of Fame RB who led the Eagles to NFL titles in 1948 and 1949, has died. He was 91. The former Warren Easton and LSU star led the NFL in rushing four times. He was born in Honduras. When his parents died when he was 10, he moved to New Orleans to live with his grandparents. He is survived by three daughters.
You know it is a strange pre-season when the names you hear associated with New Orleans Saints news are not Drew Brees, Sean Payton but Joe Vitt, Aaron Kromer and Jonathan Vilma.
But, that is the way of the bounty.
Offensive line/running game coach Aaron Kromer will serve as the Saints interim while interim head coach/assistant head coach Joe Vitt serves a six-game suspension for his role in the bounty drama.
Kromer will serve as the head coach for the Saints' final two preseason games. Kromer will officially take over for Vitt starting on Sept. 3 leading up to the Saints' opening regular-season game against Washington on Sept. 9 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
It is now obvious that Roger Goodell will not have a good welcoming come Super Bowl Sunday 2013.
Goodell could not have picked a worse time to punish a team than he has done with the New Orleans Saints and in particular Jonathan Vilma.
Goodell is not welcome in Vilma's eatery. The city of New Orleans hosts the Super Bowl and presumably, should the Saints not make it to the land of NFL glory this year, the NFL and Goodell could be blamed for their fate.
As the fourth game of the pre-season approaches, it is obvious that the New Orleans Saints are short in man-power. The two soft areas right now are linebacker and head coach.
Some of the plans to replace Jonathan Vilma with a strong set of replacements now need to be replaced.
Also, as the two losses in exhibition season has verified, the Saints can use all of the help it can get. The abstract notion that the Saints will be without its head coach and its backup coach in Joe Vitt is now becoming more concrete. The New Orleans Saints did not win all of its games and certainly did not win the really crucial games and that is when they were at full throttle. Now, imagine the top two heads out of operation for the first part of the season due to suspensions and then the main cog being out for the entire year, Sean Payton, and what you have is a lack of not just hard bodies but gray matter up top.
While it might be easy to bring in a free-agent or trade for a new player to back up a wounded warrior, the idea of installing a new coach for a sizeable part of the season to replace Vitt is almost nonsensical.
The Saints on Sunday signed wide receiver Greg Camarillo to a one-year contract to provide depth to an injury-depleted wide receiver corps.
The Saints also placed linebacker Chris Chamberlain (knee) and offensive lineman Fenuki Tupou (triceps) on injured reserve.
Camarillo, 30, caught nine passes for 121 yards for the Vikings last season. He was with the Dolphins the previous three seasons.
Observations: DE Junior Galette continued a strong presaason and could start for Will Smith during Smith's four-game suspension. After that, he could fit into the regular rotation because of his pass rush skills...CB Elbert Mack could win a roster spot as a backup CB and special teams player...Former LSU QB Ryan Perrilloux was 2-for-2 including a 14-yard TD pass for the Giants in their win over the Jets...If there's any justice, Bernie Madoff and Jerry Sandusky should be forced to be cellmates...I saw someone in a tavern who wasn't holding a cell phone and was shocked...
ESPN's latest Outside the Line summarizes that suspended Saints coach Sean Payton can be a jerk. This program ran on Sunday morning. It was put together by John Barr, who is the same ESPN guy who took a swing and a miss regarding the report GM Mickey Loomis had the ability to eavesdrop on opposing coaches.
Writes FFT.com's Mike Florio: "We've heard the stories over the years. Payton can be arrogant and vindictive and mean spirited when dealing with the media. And, yes, he has done some things that are over the top -- as he is one-year suspension confirms."
Florio quotes former Saints defensive end Charles Grant as saying of Payton: "He wanted every player on the team to have swag. "Even if you were in the front office, he wanted you to have swag."
A rough off-season could have gotten a lot worse if the Saints had lost Drew Brees in falling to the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-24 on Thursday night in a preseason game at Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Brees took a big hit after tight end Jimmy Graham missed a block on Jaguars defensive end Jeremy Mincey, who got a direct shot on Brees, hitting him on his throwing hand and shoulder, forcing a fumble. Mincey said the Saints' offense gave him direct a shot for the play.
The New Orleans Saints will play Jacksonville Jaguars in its third exhibition game tonight at the Mercedes Benz Superdome but some believe the real showdown could be the evidence the Vilma presents to the court in its case.
The question is--did NFL commissioner Roger Goodell prejudge New Orleans Saints Jonathan Vilma's "bounty" activity when it punished Vilma and other Saints?
It is possible that based upon the evidence and the law, the judge might dismiss Vilma's cases therefore bar him from having his real day in court to show he was unfairly and wrongfully treated.
On Friday, the New Orleans Saints play the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Mercedes Benz Superdome. On the same day, the lawyers for Jonathan Vilma and the NFL must respond to a court-ordered deadline for "clarification" regarding in court that day whether the NFLPA, the players' union, asked the NFL to delay imposing its discipline on players connected by the league to the Saints 'bounty program' that was in place from 2009 to 2011, according to a league investigation."
Saints owner Tom Benson and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell had a civil and passionate meeting in Tuesday in New York, according to a source.
Benson aired all of his concerns about the Saints bounty drama. Benson wanted to discuss the Saints' embattled offseason and the manner in which his team has been treated for its role in the alleged bounty program.
You wouldn't expect Goodell to get into a heated argument with Benson. The commish must stand firm with his Saints discipline while also dealing with Benson who is ostensibly his boss.

Efficient Combination of Acoustic Echo Control and Parametric Spatial Audio Coding
High-quality teleconferencing systems utilise surround sound to provide natural communication experience. Directional Audio Coding (DirAC) is an efficient parametric approach to capture and reproduce spatial sound. It uses a monophonic audio signal together with parametric spatial cue information. For reproduction, multiple loudspeaker signals are determined based on the DirAC stream. To allow for hands-free operation, multi-channel acoustic echo control (AEC) has to be employed. Standard approaches apply multi-channel adaptive filtering to address this problem. However, computational complexity constraints and convergence issues inhibit practical applications. This paper proposes an efficient combination of AEC and DirAC by explicitly exploiting its parametric sound field representation. The approach suppresses the echo components in the microphone signals solely based on the single channel audio signal used for the DirAC synthesis of the loudspeaker signals.

To: Department Chairpersons & Assistants
From: Debra Freeberg & Todd Dornbos, Interim Term Committee
Date: December 13, 2013
Re: Planning for Interim 2015
On behalf of the Interim Term Committee (ITC), we would like to ask you to begin thinking about Interim 2014. Please read this memo carefully and remind your department members of the need for some advance planning. As always, we appreciate your willingness to help your department and our committee with this important project.
Initial Planning
As Erin Bushouse (Provost's office) communicated earlier today, the deadline to submit your department's Fall-2014, Interim-2015, and Spring-2015 class schedules is February 3, 2014. Soon after this date, the ITC will request a tentative list of your department's Interim-2015 assignments from the deans, so that we can preliminarily review the number of anticipated proposals. This will also help us assess whether or not we have an adequate number and distribution of DCM, on-campus, and off-campus courses.
Interim Course Proposals - Due February 20, 2014
The ITC asks that your department members submit all 2015 Interim course proposals (electronically) by Thursday, February 20. We ask that each proposal be presented to the ITC only after it has been approved by your department's curriculum committee. The ITC will not consider proposals received without departmental endorsement. Proposal forms for DCM, on-campus, and off-campus Interim courses are NOW available online and will be considered according to this timeline and these guidelines. Furthermore, please know that the ITC will pay special attention to the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) required for each course proposal.
Historical Purpose
As outlined in Calvin's 1970 curriculum study committee report, entitled Christian Liberal Arts Education (CLAE), "the objective of the Interim is to provide time and opportunity in the curriculum and calendar for the student and staff to study topics which ordinarily would not be pursued in the regular semester, or to attempt a new approach to a certain topic" (CLAE, p. 96). The ITC encourages faculty to consider this traditional guiding principal when developing an Interim course proposal. If you are interested, an entire chapter of CLAE is dedicated to interim, entitled "The Interim Term".
Developing a Christian Mind (DCM)
Each academic department is expected to submit one to three sections of DCM in proportion to their number of full-time faculty. To maintain manageable course enrollments, we hope to offer approximately 35-40 sections of DCM in January, 2015. The deans will be paying special attention to the DCM courses that you plan to offer, and will not approve your planning documents until they are satisfied that your department is offering a reasonable number. Please remember that this is an ideal opportunity to introduce some of the important issues in your discipline to first-year students. More information and guidelines for developing a DCM course are also available.
Cross-Cultural Engagement
In order to provide enough CCE opportunities for our students, the Interim, Core, and CCE committees would like to promote the development of local CCE options. See the CCE Proposal guidelines.
Strategic Off-Campus Interim courses - New
The ITC has established a new category of "strategic off-campus courses" beginning with the 2014-15 academic year. More information is available in a memorandum to department chairpersons, from both the EPC and ITC.

In addition to family records, Mrs. Jago also donated a Batterman family chart. Other charts came from Dr. and Mrs. Reimenschneider (Reimenschneider-Tristram families), and by Latham B. Lambert (Lambert family).
Thanks are also due members and officers of several historical organizations, who transferred material from their holdings to the Society. The Braintree Historical Society provided the text of an address on Hopkinton cemeteries, while the Kendall Whaling Museum turned over Charles A. Woodward's "History of the Woodward Family." Of the new collections, the Papers of Mary A. Lucas were given by the Cape Cod Genealogical Society.
Other new collections include Dorothy L. Crawford's research on descendants of John Havwood, ca. 1612-1701; the Charles G. Dailey Papers; the Agnes F. Dodge Papers; and the Alice F. Howland Papers. In addition to named families, each collection contains information concerning at least several allied lines.
Rev. Robert I. Goode's "In Search of Thomas Alley" is both a collection and a family history. With Daniel Nicholas, Rev. Goode has addressed many of the questions that confuse descent from Rowleys Thomas Alley, -1699. A second family history, "From Sudbury to Texas and Back Again," was written and presented by Mr. Paul S. Ketter. It traces Ketter's descent from John Rediat, 1612-1687, of Sudbury, Mass.
Only one of the spring collections is not yet ready for use. However, two from the uncatalogued backlog are ready. Mrs. Ruth E. Griffin completed the Samuel B. Mayo Papers, which contain personal and genealogical material of the Chandler, Claflin, Kendrick and Mayo families. An intern from Eastern Nazarene College and a member, Mrs. Griffin has now joined the Friends of the Library. Mrs. F. Stuart Trask, head of the Friends volunteers, somehow found time to finish the Frederick L. Weiss papers. Primarily concerned with Rev. Mr. Weiss's family and that of his wife, his material concentrates in the Lancaster-Sterling, Massachusetts area. Over 119 families are treated. Volunteers John Carney and Robert Shaw are working on two more collections.

Vintage Thursday: Barkcloth drapes
Ok enough about the bed. The "Vintage" thingies, for today, are the Barkcloth drapes.
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Barkcloth is a versatile material that was once common in Asia, Africa, Indonesia and the Pacific. Barkcloth comes primarily from trees of the Moraceae family, including Broussonetia papyrifera, Artocarpus altilis, and Ficus. It is made by beating sodden strips of the fibrous inner bark of these trees into sheets, which are then finished into a variety of items. Many texts that mention "paper" clothing are actually referring to barkcloth.
Another item that has been misnamed "barkcloth" is a soft, thick, slightly textured fabric so named because it has a rough surface like that of tree bark. This barkcloth is usually made of densely woven cotton fibers. Historically, the fabric has been used in home furnishings, such as curtains, drapery, upholstery, and slipcovers. It is often associated with 1950s and 1960s home fashions.
I would guess that these panels are the "misnamed" barkcloth that has been used for all kinds of home furnishings since the 30's or 40's. I have washed these panels twice, lining and all, in my washing machine, so I know they're not made of paper or bark. They are a wonderful texture that is rough but soft. The pattern and color is more muted that most "barkcloth", which is usually bright and wild with a Hawaiian flare. I have added lace curtains in between to add a valance of sorts to the panels.
I found these panels in Murphys, California. They were hanging outside on a deck in the back of an antique shop.I was in the car with my husband, looking for a parking place and I spotted them as we drove by. "Stop" I shouted. I got out and left my husband to park the car himself and ran into the little store. Sometimes you just have to be ruthless when shopping for vintage thingies. I only paid $30.00 dollars for both panels. When I look at what some of the barkcloth panels and fabric costs on Ebay, I realize that I got a really great "deal". These beautiful panel drapes are fully lined , not faded and in excellent shape. I just love them!
Please stop by Colorado Lady to see other wonderful vintage things and share some of your own.

Go to: File, New. This will bring up a new project where you will select your desired options. It will also ask you where you want your prerendered files saved. Be organized! (If you ever need to work on something in the future, but you've move these files somewhere else in the meantime, Vegas won't be able to find them.) Make a new folder for your items. For learning purposes, keep the default settings: NTSC DV (720x480, 29.970 fps). This is for your standard aspect ratio (4x3) and a standard frame rate. You'll notice other tabs such as Audio, Ruler, Summary and Audio CD. Just stick with Video for now. This is all you will need to get started.
How to Edit Video with Sony Vegas
Are you looking for an easy, yet professional way to edit your video? Sony Vegas is an ideal way to achieve professional quality videos with ease. This explanation will use Sony Vegas 7.0. There are newer versions, but the basic controls remain the same.Read on to learn basic skills of importing, exporting and rendering; basic editing skills such as adding audio, splicing video and moving video; and where to find FX and velocity control.
Things You'll Need
- Sony Vegas
- Video footage/pictures
- Additional audio (optional)
First Steps
Select your options and decide what folder you're placing your data in. Then import your video to edit. To import you can select File, Capture Video. Or, if your video footage is already on the computer, just go to File, Import, Media. You also have the ability to just drag and drop media into Vegas from a folder.
Click Capture Video. The program will ask if it's DV or HDV. Select what applies to your camera. A window called Sony Video Capture will pop up. This gives you the options to Capture, Advance Capture, and Print to Tape. After plugging in your camera with the appropriate method, the program will automatically recognize your device. Proceed to capture the video, which will import into Vegas.
Importing from a file is as easy as drag and drop, or File, Import, Media. Either way the media will fall into the Vegas Timeline ready for editing. Just select what media you want to drop, either from the Import menu or using drag and drop, and you're ready to begin your edit. (Note: Import Media or drag and drop also works on pictures and audio.)
Begin some basic edits, now that you have your media in place.
Basic Edits
Hit Ctrl A and drag your media to the beginning of the time line, if necessary. Use the Up and Down arrows to zoom in and out of the frames. If you use the Up arrow as far as it goes, you will see all of the frames. Use the side-to-side arrows to rewind and fast-forward through the timeline. You can select and use the trimmer, but it isn't necessary. That's getting a little more technical.
Delete visual or audio clips by selecting the undesired and simply hitting Delete on the keyboard. If you want to shorten the length of a clip, simply click on the end or beginning of the clip with your mouse, and drag it to the middle to your desired length. If you want to cut (or splice) a clip in two, simply zoom in with the Up arrow, scrub through with the side arrow, and hit S to splice exactly where you want.
Apply simply effects. If you look at the end of each frame, you will see there are two buttons: Event Pan/Crop and Event FX. You can also step things up with plug-ins, although out of the box Vegas has a lot of plug-ins ready to go. Select all of the frames you want to have the same effect: group them by right-clicking and going to Group. Then when you apply anything to one frame, it will do it to them all.
Speed up or slow down a scene using Velocity Envelope, which many call Motion Control. Just go to the desire section you want to add slow-motion to. Splice exactly the scene desired, then right-click the scene and select Insert/Remove Envelope; Velocity. This will make a green line appear in the middle of the scene. You can move it down for slow motion, or speed things up by moving it up. Right-click the line to assign markers. With markers, you can gradually speed things up or down.
Render your video. Just take your loop region at the top of the time line right above the times. Make sure you're at the beginning of the video. Drag it to the end of your video. Go to File, Render As and select an option. You can render your video in many formats, such as .mov or .wmv.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- These are just the fundamentals to editing video with Sony Vegas to get you started.
- If you want to import footage from your camera, you will need the appropriate cords that came with your camera to upload (such as USB or FireWire). If you have VHS, you will have to have a unit that can plug into your computer.

The Director of the FBI, Robert Mueller made a site visit to the field office in Richmond, to talk to the agents about the direction that the FBI is heading.
"Since September 11th, our first priority has been preventing another terrorist attack," said Mueller.
The face of the FBI has changed in the past five years. Gone are the days of investigating every bank robbery and low level crime, now replaced with new age global threats.
"We're working more cyber. We're working more counter-terrorism leads. We're working more in counterintelligence and we're picking and choosing what we are working in the criminal realm," said Charles Cunningham, Special Agent in Charge of the Richmond Field Office.
While the focus of the FBI has switched both nationwide and right here in Richmond with counter-terrorism being the number one priority, the Director says the main goal is still fighting crime.
"Public corruption has been our number one criminal priority. Over the past two years, we have convicted over 1700 officials at the Federal, State and local level," Mueller said.
Those successes the Director believes, are due in large part to a good understanding with local authorities.
"The FBI's success is dependent upon our relationships and working together with these state and local law enforcement entities," said Mueller.
And when the local authorities are successful, Cunningham says it allows the Feds to concentrate on high level crime.
"We're just focusing on the biggest, the baddest, and the things that have the most impact. It can impact a field office, a division or a country, or a region," he said.
Cunningham said the visit was uplifting for his staff. Mueller left Richmond and went to the Norfolk field office for a visit with that group.

KWC, KAWG break bread to open new Kansas Wheat Innovation Center
By Jennifer M Latzke
The crowd gathered in front of the brand-new Kansas Wheat Innovation Center. But, instead of the traditional ribbon cutting ceremony, they were treated to board members of the Kansas Wheat Commission, Kansas Association of Wheat Growers and distinguished guests "breaking bread" to open the new multimillion dollar research facility.
The KWIC officially opened its doors to the public in the middle of a light rainstorm April 26, in Manhattan, Kan. The $10.3 million center was built by the KWC with funds from the Kansas wheat checkoff. It sits on land owned by Kansas State University, but KWC has a 50-year lease on the property. The KWIC houses office and meeting space for Kansas Wheat, as well as greenhouse space for Heartland Plant Innovations. HPI moved its doubled haploid wheat breeding operations to the greenhouses at KWIC, where the added greenhouse space has allowed it to expand its offerings to breeders.
"I think what farmers, as they walk through here today, are most interested in and excited about is that this is not just a building, but it's also laboratory and greenhouse space," said Justin Gilpin, chief executive officer of the Kansas Wheat Commission. "They can see the investment in research and plants growing and the wheat that they see today will potentially be seen in five years to be the next best variety that they will plant on their farms."
And, he added, it's important to remember that this facility is farmer-owned.
"We are excited to share the story of how the KWIC will lead the way in new wheat research that gives Kansas wheat farmers the tools to produce high-yielding, high-quality wheat varieties that will continue to feed the world," said Rich Randall, chairman of the KWC.
The idea for the KWIC came from farmers who wanted a facility that could house wheat research and leverage checkoff dollars to the fullest. Doug Keesling, past KWC chairman, served on the building committee and said the KWIC will reduce duplication in research so that dollars spent from farmer initiatives will go as far as possible. While the KWIC is housed in Kansas, research conducted there will benefit wheat farmers up and down the wheat producing region of the High Plains.
Ron Suppes, KWC vice chairman, spoke to gathered supporters before the bread breaking ceremony and reminded them that all of this was possible with one little kernel.
"We are a room full of dreamers, but then we have to hire researchers to lead us through the dream to become a reality," Suppes said.
He held up a kernel of wheat to the audience, "envision the power in this one little kernel to bring us all together today."

Ban ends, and he's got a ticket to ride
By CATHY DYSON
It took more than a year, but George Lewis found a way to get himself—and his hefty wheelchair—back on FRED buses.
He and officials at the disAbility Resource Center in Fredericksburg spent months studying Americans with Disabilities Act regulations. They learned that guidelines have changed since summer 2011, when Lewis was told he couldn't ride anymore because he and his chair were too heavy for the FREDericksburg Regional Transit system.
Lewis and others found new ADA regulations, which had been passed in October 2011. They said buses had to transport passengers in wheelchairs of any size—as long as the combined weight doesn't exceed 800 pounds and the bus lifts could handle them.
Lewis shared his findings with FRED officials last month. He also sent a photo of him and his chair on a scale, with the reading of 704 pounds. His chair is so heavy because it's motorized, and Lewis carries several batteries with him.
FRED officials agreed that Lewis was entitled to ride again. They thanked him for the information and sent him 17 fare cards.
"I'm glad it went down the way it did," said Lewis, 45, who was born with cerebral palsy and has been in a wheelchair all his life. "I wasn't about to give up. I knew there had to be some way."
Officials at the disability center praised FRED's willingness to work with disabled riders—and Lewis' persistence.
"I told George he was the Rosa Parks in this situation," said Shawn Lawrence, a community action specialist with the center. "He was denied, but he didn't give up, he fought through it. And because he did, this will make a difference, not only for him, but for somebody else down the road."
Getting down the road has been Lewis' focus, most of his adult life. He grew up with his parents in Spotsylvania County, and his mother was his primary caretaker until she died in 2002.
Then, Lewis had to move into an assisted-living facility, and he missed his independence. He longed for the chance to get on the bus again and go shopping at Spotsylvania Towne Centre or local Walmart stores.
His caseworker with the Rappahannock Area Community Services Board searched for a slot for him in a group home. It took nine years, but in 2011, Lewis got settled in a Fredericksburg home with three other men.
Lewis has nursing assistants who help him get dressed and fed each morning and evening, and he's on his own after that.
That's how he likes it, he said in February 2012, when he was featured in a story in The Free Lance–Star. It detailed how he rode his wheelchair through intersections of U.S. 1 and along city streets to reach his destination when he couldn't ride the bus anymore.
Mary Lou Nissim–Sabat, whose agency supervises his health care, is happy Lewis is riding FRED again.
"He has his freedom back," she said.
She talked with friends, including a lawyer, and initially researched disability regulations for Lewis.
"I have to admit I kind of let it go because I could tell he was so determined to do it on his own," Nissim–Sabat said. "George is one-of-a-kind in being very determined and very dogged when he wants to achieve something."
Lewis got a letter from Kathleen Beck, FRED's director, agreeing that circumstances changed and she looked forward to him using the system again.
The letter arrived Dec. 12, and he rode the bus once before Christmas. Then, Lewis decided to wait until holiday crowds had thinned to go shopping again.
On Friday, he set out for the Central Park Walmart with list in hand.
He called FRED beforehand and let the dispatcher know a wheelchair-bound passenger was waiting at the Fredericksburg Shopping Center bus stop.
He was not required to call, but did so out of courtesy. Likewise, Lewis apologized to three other people at the bus stop for the time it took to get him onboard.
Loading took almost 15 minutes. Driver Louis Williams lowered the wheelchair lift and directed Lewis to maneuver his chair so he was seated squarely on the device.
Then, the two worked to get the chair into the limited space in the back of the bus. After several three-point turns, Lewis was in place, and Williams attached four floorboard hooks to the chair to secure him, as well as an over-the-shoulder seat belt.
At Walmart, Williams let off other riders at the bus stop and drove to the parking lot to unload Lewis. Exiting went faster, then Williams walked with Lewis to the sidewalk and wished him well.
Lewis thanked him and waved goodbye.
Then he was on his way.

General Motors and Disney have put the finishing touches on the Test Track 2.0 ride at Epcot. Walt Disney World has begun holding previews of the attraction for the theme park's workers and their guests, and a few videos of the experience have already made their way to the web. From the look of the clips, visitors will not only get a glimpse of what the future of Chevrolet may look like, but they'll also come away with a better view of what goes into design a car from a blank canvas.
Disney kept the original Test Track course but turned over the attraction's design and feel to Chevrolet for a full makeover. The result is a sleek and modern feel with a focus on new vehicle technology and design. You can check out the videos below for a better idea of what the new Test Track 2.0 has in store. The ride officially opens to the public later on December 6.

Movement 1: Allegro maestoso
Movement 2: Adagio
Movement 3: Rondo: Allegretto Tempo di marcia
The opening Allegro maestoso presents two clearly differentiated, but not unrelated, themes. At first it sounds as if Moscheles is repeating the elegant device from his Third Concerto of using the first theme as the accompaniment to the second – but it is only theme 1a, as it were, and the true second subject appears in its proper place, first on clarinets and flutes and then from full orchestra. Finely orchestrated Mozartian phrases link the themes in regular classical style, with a delicious woodwind passage just before the soloist's entrance. The piano writing does full justice to the vigour of the thematic material, the intricate passagework and virtuoso repeated notes interwoven with some truly expressive cantabile writing. After a remarkable extended trill passage, the piano begins the development in G major and is soon deep in a harmonically wide-ranging fugato section, followed by two moments that startlingly foreshadow Schumann's Piano Concerto. There are fine harmonic side-slips and a conclusion of ever-building excitement.
The Adagio opens with a broad, nobly expressive horn solo, which the piano takes up and soon begins to elaborate in increasingly decorated, even Romantic style. There is a canonic duet with the still prominent horn, who graces the music with an unexpected and lovely contrapuntal suspension, and joins in unison with the pianist towards the end of the movement, uncowed by the latter's ostensible supremacy. Over a final tonic pedal, more trills lead the music to fade into a mist of quiet, almost impressionist arpeggios.
The horns return to usher in the finale, apparently sombre at first; but the woodwind echo has a clear military sound, and the piano soon strikes up with 'The British Grenadiers', which proceeds to get the full classical rondo treatment, with running triplets and Moscheles' favourite 'Scotch snap' rhythm adding to the excitement. An upward semitone shift into F ushers in a quietly jazzy section, which expands into some vigorous contrapuntal writing and then suddenly switches to what sounds like a quote from Tchaikovsky. After passing through many keys, the music finally releases the brakes for a short and joyful coda.

Could You Be Suffering From Andropause?
By Jonathan Williams | Published on December 7, 2010 | 0 Comments
For decades, both doctors and researchers have studied the transition that occurs in women when their ovaries stop producing eggs. Hot flashes, migraines, increased heart rates, fatigue, and irritability are synonymous with idea of menopause, and many women are looking for ways to combat these symptoms. While there are countless books, over-the-counter drugs, and medical treatments all devoted to menopause and the women going through it, little is spoken publicly about andropause. Until now, that is.
Simply put, explains Jonathan Williams MD of Radiance Anti-Aging and Body Sculpting, andropause is the alternative to menopause that occurs in men. Although this is certainly not a new condition—it was first documented in the 1940s—not a lot of focus has been placed on the changes that men experience during their mid-lives.
Andropause, says Dr. Williams, is caused by a drop in testosterone, but because men don't know about it or don't show clear signs, it can sometimes be harder to detect than menopause in women. Whereas women feel sudden hot flashes or severe mood swings, the transformation in men tends to be much more gradual.
Just because a person may not notice the changes taking place, however, does not mean that they aren't happening. All men will experience andropause, explains Dr. Williams, because it is hormone-related. Common symptoms of andropause, he continues, start as early as age 30 and expand over the following decades. These include changes in mood, decreased agility, fatigue and loss of sex drive.
Luckily, at Radiance Anti-Aging and Body Sculpting, a med spa in Albany, GA, Dr. Williams is able to educate men on the processes they are going through and offer them real solutions. Many times, he says, if men do pick up on the symptoms, they think that their weight is to blame, so they visit Radiance Anti-Aging and Body Sculpting for consultations because they think they need Laser Lypo. It is during the consultation, however, that Dr. Williams is able to confirm what is really going on.
Nothing is left to chance though, and if Dr. Williams suspects that andropause may be to blame for the symptoms the patient has been feeling, he will order a series of lab tests to confirm a testosterone deficiency. Once the labs are studied and the patient's symptoms are taken into consideration, the necessary hormone replacement therapy treatments can be prescribed. Afterward, Dr. Williams says, a lot of men are surprised at the positive changes they feel.
Because the condition is hormone-related, followup visits are often necessary. There are so many outside factors that can affect a man's hormone levels, such as stress, that if a patient ever starts to feel some of the symptoms again, the hormone replacement therapy can be tweaked to meet his needs.
At first, says Dr. Williams, patients are asked to come in for checkups after three months, six months, and then just once a year. This is a lifestyle change, he adds, that can only be made with the help of this prescription because testosterone will not replenish itself.
If you haven't been feeling like yourself lately, then it may be time to have your testosterone levels checked by a doctor. Studies show, says Dr. Williams, that andropause can put men at risk for heart disease and bone loss, so the sooner you correct the deficiency, the better you will feel on a whole.

This story originally appeared in School Bus Fleet.
LISLE, Ill. — Troy Clarke will become president/CEO of Navistar International Corp., parent company of school bus manufacturer IC Bus.
Clarke, currently Navistar's president and chief operating officer, will assume the CEO role and will join the company's board on April 15.
Lewis Campbell, who has served as executive chairman and interim CEO since August 2012, will step down from those positions and from the board.
James Keyes, who has served as a board member since 2002, will become non-executive chairman, also effective April 15.
"Over the past six months, Navistar has made significant progress on many important fronts, including on our three near-term priorities: improving quality, meeting each of our clean engine launch milestones, and delivering on our 2013 operating plan," Campbell said. "When I assumed the interim CEO role last August, I was prepared to stay as long as necessary to oversee the company through a transition period, and today I am pleased to announce our turnaround is firmly underway and our return to profitability is clearly in sight."
Campbell added that he is "also delighted that the board and I have decided that Troy is the right executive to lead the company forward at this time, and I am confident Navistar will continue to build on its momentum — improving performance and quality for customers and creating shareholder value."
Keyes thanked Campbell for his contributions to Navistar.
"He stepped in during a challenging period of transition for the company, and his leadership was critical in helping align our board and management around a clear path forward," Keyes said. "The board is also extremely pleased to name Troy as chief executive officer. He is a proven leader and has been a valuable asset to the executive team since joining the company in early 2010."
Clarke said that he is honored to take on the role of CEO and to join the Navistar board.
"In six short months, we have made significant progress on our turnaround, and I want to thank Lewis for his guidance and leadership during this period," Clarke said. "Working together, we have implemented a number of important actions to set Navistar on the right path, and the company now has a strong platform to build upon going forward."
Before serving as president and chief operating officer of Navistar, Clarke was president of Navistar Asia Pacific. He joined Navistar in January 2010 after a 35-year career at General Motors, where he held numerous leadership positions, including president of General Motors North America.

The Benefits of Door-to-Door Service in ADA Complementary Paratransit Many U.S. transit agencies continue to struggle with the quality of ADA service, the costs, and the difficulties encountered in contracting the service, which is the method of choice for a significant majority of agencies. One of the most basic policy decisions an agency must make involves whether to provide door-to-door, or only curb-to-curb service.

Disks with Ethernet ports? Throw in some flash and you've got yourself a HGST p-a-r-t-y
Another reason the standard should have been 10gbit/sec long ago
It is really too bad the industry didn't move forward with 10gbit/s ethernet long ago. The ASICs would be so cheap by now. It is pretty sad that I can have an SSD on my main PC, and an SSD on my laptop and barely get 250MB/sec after overhead. Just like I was disappointed that SATA3 was a meager 600MB/sec when it should have been 1TB/sec. If you look at the latest SSDs that include onboard ram, your SSD can peak way beyond 600MB/sec. Think if we were already at SATA 3.2 speeds, SSD vendors could be loading up a couple GB of memory on an SSD and flying burst data off like crazy. For many years I've dreamed of a hard drive with a memory controller and a SO-DIMM slot on it. 8 or 16GB memory stick for around $150 and your drive would fly.
Terabit Ethernet possibilities
I want this for my home PC network.. yea really
I'm so tired of being limited to 1GbE at home.. and 10GbE is insanely expensive.. I wish everything would move to optical.. imagine if we could have 100GbE as your home network.. PC's could natively share SMP and devices, etc..
I wish IBM's group of 32nm super friends would all ban together and work out a mass produced low cost optical chipset for motherboards, nics, switches, etc that could go mainstream.. give me 10GbE, 40GbE, 100GbE.. just something more than 1GbE and that is stackable ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_aggregation ).
Oracle and HP's database machine predicated on Voltaire
10GbE won't be more expensive for long.
While delayed about a year, I think later generations of x58 were planned to have 10GbE included. Infiniband keeps losing because its not mass market. Its only a matter of time before we are are blessed with 10GbE on our motherboards.
I also have hopes with IBM's advancements in cheap optical technology we'll see an eventual optical PCIe @ 40gb or 100gb interconnect that will branch into home networks. I really want to be able to buy a high end PC, and natively interconnect it with a BIOS level hypervisor creating a single resource pool. This would also effect GPU arrays.
US Senate wants answers on soaring text rates
Sprint sucks too...
Kinda of ironic that a phone I bought on sprint back in 2004 had a built in java version of MS Messenger, and could send unlimited texts to other ms messenger (and yahoo IM) users. I guess back then they realized that 200bytes was about the equivilent of 1/10th of a second of voice traffic, so why charge people for it..
Along comes my new phone, the jim-dandy Samsung Instinct. Heck of a nice phone, but gee.. no instant messenger. I can only txt to other cells (or people who have their cell's intertwined with their messenger). Of course I had to upgrade to the Sprint talk message share plan which ran me $40/mo more than my previous plan.
Gee. I wonder how a phone 4 years newer than my ancient LG couldn't handle the code of any of the standard internet IM clients. Why because sprint is a nickel and diming unethical PoS company.
This is why I like google's idea of a open network. Let *me* pick what traffic I want to send over the network. Bunch of rip-off mother lovin frackers. (As they'd say on BSG).
Sun splits DARPA photon-linkage cake with Kotura
What the heck is DARPA doing funding Sun? IBM is....
SUN? They have no hope in the processor world. IBM is miles ahead on on-chip optical interconnects. Last I read they also got funding from DARPA and were producing some pretty incredible optical results.
This sounds like another deal made with a senator on a golf course instead of by tech heads who have a clue.
Other languages key to Java's future
ColdFusion has run under Java for years.
ColdFusion, which is still one of the best and most effecient programming languages, has basically been a Java app since 2001. Really it feels like just another Java language in many cases. PHP has been called the poor man's ColdFusion, are rightly so.
It probably would have been adopted as a standard Java core piece if it wasn't for Adobe's greed. Adobe basically has been driving CF into the ground by making it unaffordable to the majority. Leaving IT people with little arguement for their IT managers in a world full of free Java and .NET servers.
The Java engine should get mapped to lots of languages. There is development that just doesn't need to be written in Java or jsp. Developers can code a complex web page in CF in about 1/4th the time of a Java page. I'm not saying CF, or PHP is for everyone. But these languages have their place under a universal engine.
Nortel widens telecom tubes with 40Gb/s optical cards
@Glen Turner
Well, I did only say "What's Interesting".. I didn't say people would be plugging their desktop 40GbE NIC into a 45 mile fiber line they ran out to their gaming buddies house. ;-)
However, I guess it is possible for a really brightly lit enterprise adaptor to span more than the minimum 100 meters (330 feet) and the 10 kilometers (6 miles) second level minimum.
40G and 100G, not just for the telecom kids.
What's interesting here is in relatively short order, desktop motherboards will include 10GbE interfaces and server motherboards will probably have 40GbE.
Intel's Eaglelake chipset due out late this year will have 10GbE. I'm not sure if that is copper or optical, or both. 10GbE included in a stock system basically turns it into a very attractive box for adding to a cluster. Intel released a document showing what looked to be an arguement to somewhat skip 10GbE interfaces as this generations preferred jump, to go to 40GbE ASAP. The same paper said that 100GbE won't be affordable for the mainstream until 2015 or 2020.
That being said, I'd like to forward on the rumor of eventual low cost, off the shelf, mass-produced 32nm 100GbE interfaces in 2010-2010 via IBM's 32nm partnership program. IBM wants a low cost way to interconnect those massive arrays of POWER7 based systems. (just a prediction....)
... and rumor #2, 40GbE Sony PlayStation4 PS4 interconnects. 10GbE will probably suffice, but 40GbE will give it the extra kick for those 100,000 node clusters that the government needs to build SkyNet. At these speeds, PS4 clusters will behave like a big nasty IBM mainframe.
.. another prediction, by 2013 - real time high-def audio/video data is migrated from the HDCP ruined HDMI standard to 10GbE/40GbE home networks. Streamed with H.264 AVCHD, and made universal. Any display device anywhere can display AV from any other device anywhere in the home. PC's begin to virtualize their AV content into IP streams served by Teradici's PC-Over-IP technology. DisplayPort and HDMI begin to go the way of composite cables. :) (ok this one is just a big wish).
Big Blue talks up 45nm PlayStation 3 processor possibilities
Good IBM, now put 4-8 of these on clusterable cards and write directx drivers.
The Cell was designed from the ground up to be stackable. Now that they are fast enough, lets start scaling these into huge arrays and write some directx drivers for them :)
My 8800GT runs at 600Mhz. If a cell can do 6ghz, and you can cluster a bunch of them, even with some wacky emulation, there has to be a way to get up to speed.
I'll even buy the first version if it is only as fast as 10 8800GT's. :-0
P.S. Add native h.264 encode and decode to each of the cores please. I have some home movies that need compressed.
Countdown for IBM Project Zero
IBM needs to native add cfml support this
CFML is an excellent language, much easier to use than PHP.. While there are open source versions of ColdFusion servers, IBM should license the core from Adobe and include it standard with this new platform.
IBM no comments way to optical Power7 confirmation
IBM - please bring us this technology into the home
I want off the shelf 100GbE optical in the home.. cheap interconnect chips in my PCs that let me modularly stack computing resources... IBM, bring us your mainframe and server chipset technology to the home enthusiast.. I'm tired of being trapped in the intel MS hole.. IBM is the king of Virtualization technology.. I want it in my home.. :)
I want to buy level 2 processor cache modules that can optically interconnect with the processors.. I want processor modules that are electrically isolated from my host motherboard and interconnected via dense strands of optical interconnects. let's modularize the PC so components can stack like cell's to grow as big as my money can buy.
32nm 100GbE multi-core interface chips need multi-vendor standardization and mass production. Let's skip the 10GbE standard and go straight to the future. If a good number of partner vendors came together with IBM on the 32nm technology, a very advanced SoC 32nm controller chip with features such as tcp/ip offload engine, iSCSI processing, advanced QoS/firewall/SPI/etc could be devised that would make 100GbE an instantly adopted standard.
EMC reapplies iSCSI storage warpaint
iSCSI is becoming a simple commodity
It is kind of rediculous what people pay for this stuff. iSCSI technology is becoming simple commodity technology. EMC has been ripping off businesses since their conception. When storage was $1/GB the company I was at was paying $100/GB to EMC.
What is really needed is simple off the shelf hardware with huge banks of memory for caching. With a little modification, a xeon server motherboard with 16-32 FB-DIMM slots (up to 256GB ram), RAID cards, and linux host storage software can offer very scalable storage units on the cheap.
1GbE still doesn't cut it. 10GbE is getting there. But what I really look forward to is the 32nm based 100GbE optical chipsets that will make 100GbE storage networks common place (even in the home eventually). Someday, even a home enthusiast user will be able to buy a couple TB HD, drop it into his central home storage server (that is loaded with insane amounts of cache), and run all his home machines (and DVRs, HA, Security video DVRs, etc) on it.
Stay tunned.

Residents testify in favor of height variance for U.S. National Slavery Museum's slave ship.
Former Fredericksburg Mayor Lawrence Davies and museum Executive Director Vonita W. Foster listen to comments last night.
Visit the Photo Place
By PAMELA GOULD
Eight of 11 Fredericksburg residents who spoke at last night's public hearing on the U.S. National Slavery Museum's request to build a museum taller than allowed by city regulations expressed support for granting a variance.
Addressing the City Council, Richard Davis of Wolfe Street noted that no one has complained about the steel beams rising at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in a form reminiscent of the flag-raising at Iwo Jima.
"There has never been an outcry about the visibility of the monument," he said of the museum under construction beside Interstate 95 near Quantico.
Instead, Davis said it will draw visitors to that museum. Increasing the visibility of the slavery museum would produce the same effect, he said.
A full-scale replica slave ship--the reason officials are asking permission to build a museum taller than allowed--would "add to the true educational experience and historical value" visitors would receive, Davis said.
"The visibility from I-95 will be a draw for the entire region, and I urge you to consider and approve their request for the height variance," he said.
The U.S. National Slavery Museum is asking the council for a special-use permit to build a structure taller than the 90 feet allowed in Celebrate Virginia South's Planned Development Commercial zoning district. The request was prompted by the desire to make a 118-foot-tall replica slave ship the museum's centerpiece.
Last month, the Planning Commission voted 5-1 to urge the council to grant the request.
If approved, the museum would have a maximum height of 150 feet, 3 inches. The request is for 29 feet over what's currently allowed, because the variance is based on the average height of the sloping roof.
The museum is to be built on 38 acres in the Celebrate Virginia South tourism complex overlooking the Rappahannock River, and will be visible from I-95.
Frank Brooks, who opposed the variance, expressed concern about the structure's impact on the view from the river.
"I don't think this is at all necessary," he said. "I think it is a scheme to break our 90-foot limit."
Two residents suggested "digging a hole" to lower the ship.
