AND THE PROBLEM IS? ... One of the better cooking shows, "Top Chef," showed up in Juneau for its last episode of the season. A couple of the judges have blogged on bravotv.com about their experience in our beloved Capital City, including the following post by Chef Hugh Acheson:
"Sean (Brock) and I made it a point to go to all the bars in Juneau that locals told us not to go to. Should have listened to the locals, as the Lucky Lady has no luck, no ladies, and is about the strangest-smelling drinking hole on the planet. It smells like Lysol covering a crime."
REPLY ALL ... Mayor Dave Cobb of Valdez sent a letter to the governor pushing Valdez as the best terminus for a natural gas pipeline to tidewater. He copied all 60 legislators. Then this showed up in his email inbox:
From: Rep. Mike Chenault
Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2013 3:17 PM
"What a crock of s---."
(Note: Family Ear has substituted dashes for the letters actually used).
Yes, d'Ears. You know what happened.
According to an angry follow-up letter from an "offended" and "shocked" Cobb, Chenault's office apologized, helpfully explaining that the email "was intended for other Legislators," not Cobb.
Ear will simply note that's it's awfully early in the session for Punch and Judy.
OH, THAT ... Ear laughed last week when Gov. Parnell ordered flags flown at half-mast to honor recently deceased former legislator and North Slope attorney Marty Farrell. Honored? Ear actually remembers Marty's trial in Fairbanks.
ADN reporter Rich Mauer, who documented much of the North Slope corruption, was not amused and questioned the governor at his press conference Wednesday about standards for being officially half-masted. Mauer noted that Farrell played a critical role in allowing corrupt contractors, borough officials and lobbyists to raid hundreds of millions of dollars from the North Slope Borough treasury.
Parnell said he wasn't aware of Farrell's history -- and let's be fair, the Fairbanks jury acquitted him.
The Governor's Office checked in later and said there's an actual law requiring ex-legislators be so honored, which means Marty's luck is holding, even after death.
FREUDIAN SLIP? ... Was the tie worn by the governor at his press conference really the same pattern as the carpet in the U.S. Senate gallery?
HERE'S THE MEAT ... And is it true that House Finance co-chair Bill Stoltze wrote a $600 check to Indian Valley Meats to process a deceased bison from the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center? Apparently the beast was turned into sausage for the Chugiak Senior Center.
DILBERT WORLD ... Terror of the Shrinking Cubicles. Our saga continues with the Parnell administration trying to cut expenses by reducing the number of floors the state leases in the Atwood Building. (So we can pass on the savings to the oil companies, perhaps?)
This has meant squishing workers really, really close together. Or so say earwigs trapped between their desks and the file cabinets. They're calling the re-clustered closet-cubicles "neighborhoods."
Ear hears the bosses have banned desk lamps and coffee makers -- too risky amid the crowded desks and old wiring.
ANOTHER QUESTION ... Did newly minted Republican Lindsey Holmes really rise to introduce GOP boss (not chairman anymore but still boss) Randy Ruedrich as her guest at Thursday's House session? Earwigs report some Democrats gagging. But really, darlings, converts are always the most passionate. They have so much to prove.
Randy, of course, was in town for the big Republican Party meeting, aka Fight Club II. It happened after Ear's deadline. Alas.
AS FOR THE REST ... What else happened in the Legislature this week? An earwig with a zillion in-state airline miles filed the following report:
"It's nothing but guns, gas, God and cruise ship poop. Sounds like a Warren Zevon song."
OUR SARAH ... As you know, Ear is legally required to keep track of the Palins (which isn't nearly as easy as it used to be).
U.S. News reports that Americans are now less interested in Sarah than at any time since 2009. And how do they know this? Because fewer people are searching her name on Google. The exception is Alaska, where some folks still care.
Hey, that's what the story says.
Turns out Sarah is also less interested in us. How do we know?
In November 2010 she tweeted more than 100 times during the month, according to the analytics site Tweetstats. In November 2012, a mere eight tweets.
And on the Bristol front, an Alaska judge issued a long-term protective order against that weird Texas stalker who was hassling her.
BEAUTY AND THE BLOG ... Daffodils are blooming in the rest of the world while Dirt-y Ears are still shoveling snow and popping Prozac. Even Jeff Lowenfels has run out of seed catalogs to enthuse about, so Robbie Frankevich's new gardening blog showed up just in time. Robbie is the green thumb behind the fabulous gardens at the Alyeska Hotel in Girdwood. True, the blog is to advertise his new business but earwigs can still sneak a peek at the pictures: glaciercitygardener.com.
Ear checked with Robbie. He promises spring will come. Ear is skeptical.

How unfortunate would it be if all the furor surrounding the latest Radiohead album eclipsed this new orchestral film score composed by the band's lead guitarist, Jonny Greenwood? Those seeking to find Greenwood's rock sensibilities — or the echoes of Radiohead's modernist approach — won't find a trace of it in There Will Be Blood. Devoid of guitar, this score showcases a completely different side of Greenwood, a longtime classical enthusiast who's held the position of BBC composer in residence since 2004. Rock fans should, however, also note that this music does pull you in. In fact, the album works marvelously well because it's a change of pace. And the foundation of the music itself, Greenwood's writing, reveals itself to be strong. One doesn't have to see the film to get caught up in the eerie shadows that this music casts, which, by the end of its modest 33 minutes, will still leave you feeling exhausted (in a good way, not to mention transported to another place — the very essence of a successful score). Interestingly, Greenwood generally didn't write for specific scenes. He simply wrote "lots" of music inspired by the film and the script, then let director Paul Thomas Anderson do the sifting. It's possible that this accounts for the vibrancy and underlying menace of the work in spite of its generally low-key feel. However indifferent you might be toward bringing soundtracks home and enjoying them out of their original context, you'll want to consider this one not on the basis of Greenwood's status but for how it stands on its own.

MIAMI (AP) — Miami Marlins rookie right-hander Anthony DeSclafani left Friday night's 9-5 loss to the Oakland Athletics with a bruised right forearm. His status is day to day.
DeSclafani was hit in the arm by a line drive in the first inning by Brandon Moss that went for an infield hit. DeSclafani continued to pitch but left the game after three innings, trailing 2-0.
"I felt good to keep going, but I understand where they're coming from," he said. "I had a sweat going and a lot of adrenaline, so I didn't quite feel it when I was out there. It's their judgment and their decision to take me out."
X-rays were negative, and DeSclafani said he expected to be able to throw on the side Saturday
DeSclafani, who was making his fifth career start, has an ERA of 7.40.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - The Memphis Grizzlies have waived Jerry Stackhouse, just a day after acquiring the NBA veteran in a four-team, eight-player trade.
General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Wallace announced the move Friday after Thursday's blockbuster deal involving the Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic.
As part of the trade, Grizzlies guard Greg Buckner was sent to Dallas, and the Grizzlies also received a second-round pick and cash from Toronto and cash from Dallas.
The 34-year-old Stackhouse was due more than $7 million with the
Mavericks next season, but his contract could be bought out for $2 million - likely the amount of cash Memphis received in the trade.

Bypassing a turntable's built-in preamp
I suspect the answer to this will be simple. I was able to get a hold of a nice vintage preamp/power amp (Denon PRA-1000/Denon POA-1500), and the brand new turntable I ordered (Pioneer PL-990) has, unfortunately, no switch to bypass the built-in preamp. I suspect I could get much better audio quality by bypassing the TT's preamp and sending that signal to the PRA-1000's phono input. I have an electronics background and I'm reasonably good with a soldering iron.
Since I'm unfamiliar with TT's circuitry, my question is: what would it take to skip the built-in pre-amp? Just connecting the output of the arm to the RCA connectors instead of sending that to the board? Is that only two cables? I haven't opened the TT yet because I'd like to verify how to do this before voiding its warranty. I would really appreciate any input from someone familiar with this procedure. I could consider also installing a switch to flip between phono output and line output, but something as simple as skipping the built-in pre altogether would do.
Also, once I successfully do this, how do I know whether I should use the Phono-MC or Phono-MM input on the pre?

The manual that comes with the turntable should state what sort of cartridge is fitted. MC types are generally quite a bit more expensive than MM types so an MM type seems more likely.
There is a theoretical SNR advantage to having the pre-amplifier right there in the turntable. Are you sure that the one fitted to the table is a dog? Most likely if this was a dirt cheap table and the pre-amp design was an afterthought.
If you decide you want to use the pre-amp in the amplifier disconnect the internal pre-amp from both the output jacks and the cable from the tone arm and run the tone arm connections directly to the jacks. Watch out for noise pick up as the signal levels are quite low.

Based on the price of the table there probably was not a huge amount of spare cash for the phono stage so you probably will be better off bypassing it. Try it first and make sure the table functions properly for a couple of weeks before voiding the warranty.
It definitely uses a moving magnet (mm) cartridge so use your MM inputs. Hopefully the equipped cartridge is a p-mount type so that you can easily upgrade to something a bit better when the stylus wears out. (Edit: Based on reviews apparently not)

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback.
I saw some mentions on this forum about using special insulated cables for this, to avoid parasite capacities. Is any certain brand/model/type better to connect the tone arm to the output jacks?

YMMV but the inbuilt preamp in the Pioneer PL-990 is hardly
a show stopper compared to the fact its a very basic cheap
turntable, and its nowhere near the sort of turntable to go
go with the Denon stuff, by a very long way, IMO.
Used Acoustic Research EB101 (or a variant) used with
the Red Ed elliptical Ed Saunders Red Ed Cartridge
would be my sort of starting point with the Denons,
if you want vinyl to compete in any sense with CD.

Sreten has a good point, however I figured if you were new to vinyl this would be an ok starting point. You have read the reviews I assume and are familiar with its limitations.
Any decent fully shielded interconnect off of eBay should work fine, there are acceptable and quickly available cables from Radio Shack. Avoid the expensive name brand cables at Best Buy and elsewhere. You are mostly paying for the name on the box.
No specific recommendations as I make most of my own cables specific to purpose.

You can modify the turntable, its not complicated, but its
essentially pointless, the inbuilt RIAA is not the problem.
Fundamental sound quality will barely change.
rgds, sreten.
And yes, the current cables fitted may not work
well if you bypass RIAA and go into a RIAA input.
TBH the fact you can't bypass the internal Pioneer
RIAA is a very big clue as to its ambition level.
Just accept it for what it is IMO.

Many thanks for the insights. I decided not to mess with it, then... when budget allows I'll just upgrade to a better turntable with a more decent cartridge.

Well, anything is possible, and "bypassing" the rather low-end preamp is actually very simple, provided you can wield a soldering iron successfully and work with the very delicate tone arm cables. It is largely a matter of disconnecting the wires coming from the tone arm from the printed circuit board sfter establishing, which of the (hopefully screened) wires is the left and which the right one. As you have no longer an anchoring point for those tiny wires, you could fit a suitable connector to the rear of the plinth, where you could solder the wires directly to the pins. Personally I have done this by using a female XLR connector and used it as originally intended - as a turntable audio connector (mainly for broadcasters) ! The name gives this original purpose away: L=left, R=right and X=common (ground). Now you have a connector for an easily detachable cable, which you can experiment with. The built-in preamp you could leave in place but deactivate, if it has its own transformer - just disconnect the cable to the primary winding. The whole exercise will sadly not make your turntable sound a lot better, but you will probably benefit from less noise and a better frequency response due to a more accurate equalization.
A further refinement could be to fit a small dpdt switch to the back of the plinth, and connect the common (usually middle) tags to the preamp input, one side of the switch to the XLR's L and R. pins (pins 2 and 3 respectively) and two 4k7 resistors to the other side of the switch to form a dummy input load, if the cartridge is disconnected from the internal preamp. This prevents increased noise of open inputs, should the preamp be connected to a power amp without being connected to the pickup cartridge. Mark the switch as "Preamp On" and "Preamp Off". Of course, in this case the preamp power must be permanently on. This wat you can compare the performance of the preamps in the turntable and the amplifier.
Hopefully, all this is not too confusing...

NCAA Tournament: Hours to go until brackets revealed
|Kansas forward Marcus Morris (22) and Kansas State forward Curtis Kelly (24) chase a rebound in the first half of the Big 12 championship game on Saturday. Kansas is sure to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. (AP)
Think a woman singing "One Shining Moment" is an upset? Consider this:
When CBS unveils the NCAA Tournament bracket on Sunday night, neither North Carolina, Connecticut, UCLA nor Indiana will be in it. Baylor and Vanderbilt could be No. 4 seeds, Butler and Temple could be No. 5 seeds, and Northern Iowa could be a No. 6.
Texas, which was the No. 1 team in the country two months ago, could drop as low as a No. 9 seed, and the fourth No. 1 seed, presumably Duke, wasn't a lock for that spot less than two weeks ago.
As for the bubble, who's really going to complain if Washington, Ole Miss, Seton Hall, Arizona State, Rhode Island, or Cincinnati doesn't make it to the dance? They're all the same — mediocre — anyway.
The madness of March is upon us, and this tournament, unlike a year ago, should be unpredictable because there aren't many, if any, dominant teams in it. Basketball purists will point to the tournament bracket and say it is evidence of parity, but the fact is, there are no great teams like the one Carolina had last year, and there are few great players.
Power conferences like the Pacific Ten and the Southeastern Conference are down, and the best teams in the Big East, aside from Syracuse, aren't as good as they were a season ago.
Just look at Villanova. A Final Four team last year. Losers of five of its last seven heading into the tournament this year.
"People like to say there's parity," ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said last week. "There's no parity. That's laughable. Parity is an excuse for losing. ... It's just one of those years where, at the end of the line, we're talking about pretty average teams at best."
That won't make this tournament boring. Quite the contrary. It's wide open. But if you love dominance, you won't get that this year. Not here.
Last year, everyone knew if the Tar Heels played up to their potential, no one could beat them, and sure enough, they breezed through the tournament, winning six games by an average of 20.5 points per game. If anything, the Tar Heels' tournament performance showed they probably were just bored during the regular season, when they lost three games.
Four players off that Carolina team were selected in the NBA draft, including two underclassmen, Ty Lawson (18th, by Minnesota) and Wayne Ellington (28th, by Minnesota).
And now? The Tar Heels went 16-15 in the regular season, including 5-11 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, and lost in the first round of the ACC tournament. They are out of the NCAAs.
This year, two of the projected No. 1 seeds are good, but not dominant. Syracuse lost to Louisville twice and then checked out of the Big East tournament in the quarterfinals against Georgetown. Duke shared the ACC regular-season title with Maryland, but this isn't a strong Mike Krzyzewski team. Even he would admit it.

Suns' Rookies Highlight D-League Opener
While most basketball fans were probably busy enjoying a quality slate of NBA games or the opening night of college basketball yesterday, Friday also marked the beginning of the 2014-15 D-League season. Rookie first round picks T.J. Warren and Tyler Ennis took the floor for the Bakersfield Jam and made a nice impression on opening night. While Bakersfield lost to the Texas Legends 127-125, it certainly wasn't because of the play from the rookies.
On Bakersfield's first field goal of the game, Ennis blew by a defender and found a cutting Warren for a bucket – a play Phoenix eventually hopes to see at the NBA level. The duo started 7-of-7 from the field and provided plenty of excitement in the opener.
Although Warren had seen just one minute in the NBA, he proved why he was worth the lottery selection. The 6-foot-8 small forward scored 40 points while shooting 16-of-27 from the field, 3-of-7 from three-point range, and a perfect 5-of-5 from the free throw line. He added another six rebounds, three assists, three steals, and three turnovers.
Warren got off to a hot start, with 12 points in less than six minutes of action, and made his first five attempts from the field. He was most effective in transition, as he loved using a right to left euro step to draw contact and finish at the rim. Warren made a pair of and-one finishes and showed his athleticism with a soaring dunk early on. He moved well without the ball and made a floater with 15.5 seconds left to cut the deficit to one. Warren had a bit of everything in his scoring arsenal, but showed improvements as a jump shooter.
As the 14th overall pick out of N.C. State, Warren was known as a pure scorer. He averaged 24.9 points per game as a sophomore while shooting 52.5% from the field. The major question came in his shooting ability, as he averaged less than one made three-pointer per game and shot just 26.7% from behind the arc. On Friday, he had no issues finding his offense and his 3-of-7 display from deep showed potential.
Ennis had a solid night of his own. The 6-foot-2 point guard scored 25 points on 11-of-23 shooting along with six rebounds, five assists, four turnovers, and three steals. He showed growth as a mid-range shooter, making 5-of-7 mid-range jumpers, but was just 1-of-5 from three-point range.
After a stellar freshman campaign, Ennis declared early for the draft and the Syracuse product will have a tough time finding NBA minutes in a crowded Phoenix backcourt. He's played 18 minutes this season, but averaged more turnovers than points per game early on. As a 20-year-old rookie, Ennis will certainly be in Phoenix's long-term plans and Friday's contest showed why.
He's a crafty ball handler that used a spin move to attack the basket on multiple occasions and did a good job setting up his teammates. Ennis uses screens effectively on the offensive end, but will need to work as a defender, especially in his pick-and-roll defense. He can lead an offense, but his lack of elite athleticism could hurt him against quicker guards.
The rookie tandem formed a nice 1-2 punch in Bakersfield's first game as the Phoenix Suns single affiliate. With the new affiliation, Phoenix will be able to manage the minutes of its young prospects while incorporating its own system. It looks like a nice investment with so much young talent on the roster.
Warren and Ennis are only expected to be in Bakersfield for one more game before joining Phoenix on an East Coast road trip, but look for some assignments throughout the year. The Suns used a similar method with Archie Goodwin, who averaged 24.3 points per game in five games with the Jam last year. With an array of young prospects and a new affiliation, Bakersfield will be a team to follow this season.

Hindalco, Jindal Coal Permits Recommended for Cancellation
(Updates with closing share prices in ninth paragraph.)
Sept. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Hindalco Industries Ltd., Essar Power Ltd. and Jindal Steel & Power Ltd., all run by Indian metal billionaires, risk losing coal permits for projects worth a combined $7.1 billion if the nation's top court accepts a government proposal to annul licenses for mines that haven't started production.
Hindalco-Essar's Mahan coal mine in the central state of Madhya Pradesh and Jindal Steel's Utkal B1 mine in the eastern state of Odisha would number among the 172 permits that Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi said should be canceled, at a Supreme Court hearing on Sept. 1.
The court last week ruled illegal all 218 allocations since 1993 for so-called captive coal mines, which companies use for their own projects. Cancellations would raise costs for the projects, forcing them to run on more expensive coal bought at auctions or shipped from overseas.
"We invested in the Angul project based on promise it will be given a coal block," said K. Rajagopal, group chief financial officer at Jindal Steel & Power Ltd. "Efforts will be made to include the mine in that list."
The Angul project was set up with a memorandum of understanding with the Odisha government and that agreement says the project will be given a coal block, Rajagopal said. Hindalco's spokeswoman Pragnya Ram declined to comment as the matter is in court.
"Losing captive mines will impact earnings at these projects," said Rahul Jain, a Mumbai-based analyst with CIMB Securities India Pvt. "Things may turn worse in a commodity bear market."
Undermining Plans
State-run NTPC Ltd., India's largest electricity producer and biggest coal consumer, may lose nine out of 10 blocks allocated to it, undermining its plans to reduce imports at its plants.
Hindalco, controlled by billionaire Kumar Mangalam Birla, and Essar Power, run by billionaire brothers Shashi and Ravikant Ruia, have invested a combined $3.8 billion in power plants and an aluminum smelter to be fueled by coal from Mahan. Jindal Steel, controlled by India's richest woman, Savitri Jindal, plans to use coal from the Utlak B1 mine to run its $3.3 billion Angul steel plant, the country's first to use thermal-coal gas as fuel.
Jindal Steel declined 0.8 percent to 238.10 rupees at the close in Mumbai. The stock has dropped 19 percent since the court's Aug. 25 ruling. Hindalco advanced 0.1 percent to 175.10 rupees, paring its loss to 4.1 percent since the judgment.
Exemptions Sought
Among quarries where the government has proposed allowing work to continue are Jindal Steel's three Gare Palma blocks in the central state of Chhattisgarh and Hindalco's Talabira-1 mine in Odisha. NTPC Ltd.'s first coal block in Pakri Barwadih in Jharkhand is also part of the list.
The coal ministry published the list of mines at which it wants to allow production to continue on its website late on Sept. 1, without giving details of output.
The government is prepared to auction new licenses for the canceled mines, Rohatgi, the government's top lawyer, said in his presentation to the Supreme Court in New Delhi. The court said "it was leaving its options open" and set Sept. 9 for a final hearing.
The government is aiming to maintain as much coal production as it can, as the fuel powers more than 60 percent of India's generation capacity. State monopoly Coal India Ltd., which produces more than 80 percent of the nation's 568 million tons of annual output, has failed to keep pace with rising demand from power plants, steelmakers and cement plants, spurring rising imports from overseas.
'Discourage Competition'
"We should be careful of considering auctions as a solution for the natural-resources sector," said Kameswara Rao, executive director for energy and utilities at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. "The sector is dominated by some large players, and an auction policy can discourage competition."
With the court having ruled all coal allocations illegal, it isn't clear how the 46 mines could be given legal validity, Rao said.
Of the 46, 40 are already in operation and six are on the verge of starting.
The government also suggested the court impose an additional royalty of 295 rupees ($4.87) a metric ton for coal that has already been taken from the operational mines.
Annual Production
India's coal ministry said in July it expects production of 53 million tons in the year to March 2015 from 42 captive coal blocks, including those owned by Hindalco, Jindal Steel, Reliance Power Ltd., CESC Ltd. and Jaiprakash Associates Ltd. That's about 9 percent of the nation's total annual production of the fuel.
The updated list mentions four additional mines. The ministry has sought information on production, investment and progress from the companies of the linked projects by today, according to the website.
Jindal Steel may have to pay about 25 billion rupees of additional royalty, while Hindalco may need to pay 8 billion rupees, if the government's proposals are accepted by the court, said Prasad Baji, an analyst at Edelweiss Financial Services Ltd. in Mumbai.
India's state auditor in 2012 found that allocating the mines to companies without an auction may have cost the government 1.86 trillion rupees, worth $33 billion at the time.

How upsetting!
Personally, I would call her doctor, describe the height from which she tumbled, and let them advise you on what to watch out for or do next. Is your bed on the floor, or up on a frame? I remember reading online that if a child fell from a foot or so it was probably nothing to be concerned with, but any higher warranted a check-up just to be sure.
For your own peace of mind, I'd recommend asking for some help from a doctor to look her over.
And on 09/23/2011, we were three; husband, daughter, and me!

For Immediate Release
Date: 04/15/14
AUGUSTA - Maine House Republican Leader Ken Fredette of Newport issued the following statement upon the enactment in the House of LD 1858, the supplemental budget for fiscal year 2015. The budget passed with a vote of 136-8 early Tuesday afternoon.
"I'm pleased that Republicans and Democrats were able to reach an agreement that keeps the state budget in balance while making sure Medicaid prioritizes our neediest elderly and disabled neighbors. We must continue to ensure Maine's nursing homes and people on wait lists get the support they need, and this budget puts a solid down payment on that effort."

Fred Ramsey
Charles Frederic Ramsey, Jr. (January 29, 1915, Pittsburgh - March 18, 1995, Paterson, New Jersey) was an American writer on jazz and record producer. Ramsey took his BA at Princeton University in 1936, then took jobs at Harcourt Brace (1936–39), the United States Department of Agriculture (1941–42), and Voice of America (1942). With Charles Edward Smith, Ramsey wrote Jazzmen (1939), an early landmark of jazz scholarship particularly noted for its treatment of the life of King Oliver. After receiving Guggenheim fellowships, he visited the American South in the middle of the 1950s to make field recordings and do interviews with rural musicians, some of which were used in releases by Folkways Records and in a 1957 documentary, Music of the South. He also curated an anthology of early jazz recordings for Folkways, entitled simply Jazz. Ramsey worked with the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University from 1970. He researched Buddy Bolden's life with a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1974-75 and continued with a Ford Foundation grant in 1975-76. He presented early jazz interviews on National Public Radio in 1987.  ( Wikipedia article )

Data Type Date (date field: A type of field whose content is a date. Examples include the Baseline Start and Early Finish fields.)
Entry Type Calculated (calculated field: A field in which the value is determined by Project based on information in other fields. Project may recalculate the value automatically or when you specify, depending on your choice of calculation settings.)
Description The Preleveled Start field contains the start date of a task as it was before resource leveling (leveling: Resolving resource conflicts or overallocations by delaying or splitting certain tasks. When Project levels a resource, its selected assignments are distributed and rescheduled.) was done.
How Calculated Before Microsoft Office Project levels resources, it saves the start dates for tasks in the Preleveled Start field.
Best Uses Add the Preleveled Start field to a task view if you want to examine the effects of resource leveling on your project's start dates.
Example Two resources in your schedule were overloaded, so you applied resource leveling to the project. You now want to see the effects of the leveling on your task start dates. You add the Preleveled Start field next to the Start field in the Task Sheet view to make your comparisons.
Remarks You can use the Leveling Gantt view to see the preleveled start date shown with the preleveled Gantt bars. Once you've leveled the project, specific tasks will have preleveled start dates that you cannot remove.

UW-Eau Claire Alumni in
Baltics and Poland to Meet
(715) 836-4741
(715) 836-2900
MAILED: Sept. 16, 1999
EAU CLAIRE The 70 or so alumni of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire who are living and working in the Baltic states and Poland will have a chance to interact during a conference in late February 2000 in Riga, Latvia.
The alumni gathering will be possible because of a $107,401 grant UW-Eau Claire received from the United States Information Agency, Office of Citizen Exchanges, in Washington, D.C.
"This will be the first time that UW-Eau Claire will have an international alumni gathering of this magnitude," said Hilda Moleski, foreign student adviser in the Center for International Education, noting that it's also the first time the alumni of several international exchange scholarship programs will gather in a formal way. "We'll really be doing a lot of firsts with this alumni project."
In addition to the alumni conference, the grant monies also will allow top administrators from Non-Governmental Organizations in the Baltics to study fund raising and grant writing in the United States and in Latvia. The NGO addresses social, legal, business and other related problems that are important to the building of a democratic society. Examples include the rights of the homeless, protection of street children, professionalism in police training, environmental protection, and adult education and retraining to reduce unemployment. As current funding for those programs disappear, it's important that key members of the NGO staff learn how to raise dollars on their own to remain self-sufficient, said Karl Markgraf, director of the Center for International Education at UW-Eau Claire.
The ultimate goal of the alumni event in Latvia will be to help UW-Eau Claire alumni who have returned to their homelands in this region develop a professional network, Markgraf said. Students from the Baltics and Poland who study at UW-Eau Claire are often selected for scholarship programs because of their leadership potential and this event will help them maximize that potential now that they've returned home, Markgraf said.
"They really are the best and brightest," Markgraf said of the students from the Baltic States who are selected to study at UW-Eau Claire. "Those 70 or so alumni are very talented, intelligent and gifted. They are taking on significant roles in leadership in industry and government. This conference will be our first concentrated effort to speak with them as a group."
Moleski has been in touch with some of the alumni in recent months, asking them to provide input into what the conference should include. "They are very excited," Moleski said of the alumni reaction to the February event, which also will receive funding from the Soros Foundation.
In addition to creating networking opportunities for the alumni from Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland, the conference will help participants understand how to use and support the NGOs and provide participants with fundraising training, Moleski said. Issues that are of current interest in the Baltics and Poland also will be discussed during the conference, she said.
UW-Eau Claire which has been sending students to Latvia since 1991 when Latvia secured its independence is the only American university that has established a successful study abroad program with the University of Latvia. UW-Eau Claire, which sends between 10 and 15 students to Latvia each year, provides one of just two programs of study for Americans in the country. Dr. Paulis Lazda, a professor of history at UW-Eau Claire, helped create the program with his home country and remains actively involved in helping to continue to build it as new opportunities are identified, Markgraf said.
Organizations such as the UW-Eau Claire Foundation, the Soros Foundation's Open Society Institute and the Baltic/Eastern Europe Awards Program have helped dozens of students from the Baltics and Poland study at UW-Eau Claire, Markgraf said, adding that for the last three years, UW-Eau Claire has hosted the largest group of OSI undergraduate scholars in the country.
"We have a unique connection to Latvia," Markgraf said of UW-Eau Claire. "It's a vigorous and ongoing relationship. Through this conference, young leaders will network with each other and stay connected to UW-Eau Claire. And those connection are very exciting."

Posts tagged: Merle W. Harvey
A man arrested on suspicion of trying to help hide an accused double murderer had his charges dropped because of a lack of evidence.
But Mark H. Toner, 33, remains in jail on a drug charge for methamphetamine police say was in his car when he was arrested. He appeared in Spokane County Superior Court via video Friday on one count of possession of a controlled substance.
Felony first-degree rendering criminal assistance and first-degree witness intimation charges were dismissed against Toner Oct. 14 after Merle W. Harvey told police he didn't know Toner and had never met the woman who said Toner had tried to get her to hide Harvey.
Toner stayed in jail on a District Court warrant and was charged last week in connection methamphetamine found in his car, according to court documents.
While Spokane police Detective Chet Gilmore said some sort of confrontation happened between Toner and Sarah-Nicole Hill the night of the murders, Toner was not involved in the double homicide Sept. 26 and does not appear to even know Harvey, who's charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Harvey, 27, and his girlfriend, Diane L. Richardson, 34, denied knowing Toner and Hill after they were arrested in Kennewick on Oct. 10. Their statements about what they'd done since the murders didn't leave room for the confrontation involving Toner and Hill, Gilmore said.
Toner always denied having anything to do with the shooting deaths of Jack T. Lamere and Jacob J. Potter, but Hill had told police he showed up wanting her to help hide Harvey the night of the murders.
She called police, then said she'd received threatening text messages from Toner and was followed by him to a McDonald's on the Newport Highway, according to the affidavit. She called police after Toner followed her inside the restaurant, according to the affidavit. Toner left, and she exited the store to find her friend's truck's tires slashed. A McDonald's employee had written down Toner's license plate.
The day Toner's charges were dropped, Spokane police tested two baggies found in Toner's Oldsmobile 2002 Alero that contained methamphetamine.
The drug bags were in a large black bag with electronic scales and about 100 other baggies, according to a probable cause affidavit filed Oct. 29.
A Spokane man accused of shooting two men to death over a car trade says the slayings were in self-defense.
Merle W. Harvey, 27, shot Jack T. Lamere, 41, and Jacob J. Potter, 45, after "three guys surrounded my truck with guns," Harvey told a local TV station this week.
"My side of the story is self-defense," Harvey (left) said in the videotaped interview with KREM-TV. "It could have been me and my girlfriend dead."
Authorities, however, dismiss his claims.
Investigators allege the shooting deaths were planned, and a Spokane County District Court judge ordered Harvey held on $1 million bond for two first-degree murder charges after he and Diane L. Richardson were arrested Oct. 10 in Kennewick, two weeks after the Sept. 26 killings.
Richardson, 34, (right) is being held on $250,000 bail for one count of first-degree rendering criminal assistance.
Police say the couple stole a Jeep in North Idaho before crashing it into a canal after shoplifting from a convenience store, according to newly filed court documents.

Dazy, How is NOAH?
I've been thinking of him. Well, of all of you, actually.
Was this the day of the *big* chemo treatment he had to have? Just wanted to see how he's feeling, and how you're holding up too. :hugs:
Ditto! Was thinking about you guys this afternoon. Hope you all are doing well! :hugs:
thank you so much for asking. :hugs: your thoughts and prayers mean so much.
actually his treatments are being moved to fridays!! which will be good for when he gets his big treatment, then he will have the weekend to recoup. and that starts this friday. will go to the clinic and they'll access his port, draw blood, and get his fluids going. then we'll go over to the hospital (all the same big building) and they'll do they chemo over there. along with the nausea the chemo causes, one of the other drugs has a potential side effect of causing bleeding in his bladder. it they give another med to counteract that at the time of administering, then again at 4 hrs and 8 hrs. then they want to load him fluids to flush him out good. so not only does he get nauseated but he has to pee every 15-20 min! and as soon as he is taking fluids well, we can go home. am hoping that will be quicker this time!
he's been feeling great since he got out of the hospital from his fever a week and a half ago! been at school everyday and doing really well. his only "issue" has been his scalp being very sensitive to touch from the chemo, presumably. it's something got very frustrated with, but that is thankfully getting better.
thanks, again for asking about him. :heart:
Gee, that sounds like a good plan. Having that weekend to recoup a little bit before school again is a smart idea.
I've heard about that sensitive scalp thing with chemo too. Weird side effect! I wonder what would cause that.
Sounds like it's really going wonderfully well so far! Yay!
Hugs to you all. :hugs: I know you're all strong and pull together to get through this and just finally some day be DONE with it all.
Soooo glad to read this!! I don't know your real name or anything about you, but I do know, just from reading your posts, that you are a good mom. And with that strength in his corner, he will hit that finish line with flying colors! Kudos to you AND to Noah for reminding me that life is precious, and through it all love endures! Much love from TX! You all got this! :)
Thinking of you and your brave little man every day!
Give him a big hug from me!

BRISTOL — State education officials are pushing local school boards to hold the line on school spending this year, urging school districts to level fund or even decrease spending at local schools.
Middlebury College President Ronald Liebowitz landed on Time Magazine's list of the top 10 college presidents in the country this week, earning kudos for pushing environmental initiatives at the college.
BRISTOL — Against the backdrop of a steady beat of African drums, Soriba Simbo Camara leapt and twisted, his body, contorting rhythmically to the sound. He carried a cow's tail in one hand, a symbol of power in Guinean culture, and wore a traditional West African shirt. The dance was feverish but graceful, and at its end, Camara catapulted his body from the ground in a tremendous jump.
Camara wiped the sheen of sweat from his brow, and caught his breath.
"It keeps you young," he said, grinning just as he had all through the dance.
MIDDLEBURY — Administrators at Middlebury College have reopened the discussion about the fate of 51 Main at the Bridge, a college-owned restaurant and bar operating in downtown Middlebury.
51 Main hit the chopping block last year, when the college first began looking at serious budget cuts. Officials gave the lounge roughly a year to sink or swim, with the provision that the bar must show at least two consecutive months in the black to stay in operation.

BRISTOL — "Fire at will!" shouted Mount Abraham Union High School physics teacher Tom Tailer, raising his air horn high above his head and sounding the start of the war games with a loud blast.
Decked out in a cap and vest, the cuffs of his pants tucked into his boots, Tailer looked the part of the army commander he played last Thursday. At his signal, the battlefield outside of the Bristol high school erupted into a melee.
MIDDLEBURY — Outside of the Middlebury American Legion post on Boardman Street, people began lining up as early as 8 a.m. on Tuesday for the state's first public H1N1 vaccine clinic, which drew hundreds from all over Vermont to Middlebury in search of the vaccine.
But at least 150 people were left out in the rain when the clinic — armed with just 300 doses of the H1N1, or "swine flu," vaccine — swiftly ran out of the product. Between 450 and 500 people were estimated to have turned out for the event, some coming from as far away as Montreal.
MIDDLEBURY — The newest addition to Middlebury's health care community isn't rolling out the latest technology or advanced batteries of tests. In fact, in the case of Partners in Palliative and Home Care — the practice launched by two Middlebury-area doctors this fall — a new approach to medicine looks remarkably old-fashioned.
BRISTOL — Looking to field a larger football team, school officials in Vergennes and Bristol are beginning to explore the possibility of a cooperative, cross-district team.
If the plan moves forward, the team would be the first cooperative football team in the state.
BRISTOL — At their Tuesday evening meeting, members of the Mount Abraham Union High School board of directors edged toward this winter's discussion of the 2010-2011 school year budget.
The board at its Oct. 20 meeting charged the high school's administration with keeping educational spending at the same level as last year — $11,160,648 — as a target for the coming year.
This week, the board looked over a long-range facilities plan prepared by Facilities Manager Reg Wedge, as well as a draft plan of the school's technology spending for the next two years.
BRISTOL — Bristol selectmen on Monday set the date for a bond vote that could fund substantial repairs for Holley Hall.
The town will decide on Dec. 8 whether to authorize the use of up to $750,000 to make the building more handicap accessible, fix structural and wiring problems, and reorganize the basement town offices.

Avery Bradley developing strong confidence in defensive abilities
The game plan didn't initially call for Avery Bradley to harass Jermaine O'Neal for 94 feet on every possession.
"It really wasn't (the plan), but I told Doc, 'I'm going to pick him up for the whole game,'" Bradley said after spending his night repeatedly shutting a door on Jameer Nelson's fingers. "He kinda looked at me like, 'The whole game?' and I looked back like, 'Yeah, the whole game.'"
The night ended with praise flying at Bradley from all directions. Jermaine O'Neal called him "one of the best on-ball defenders in the game." Stan Van Gundy said he set the tone for Boston's 87-56 smackdown of the Orlando Magic. Doc Rivers gave him credit for leading the way from tip off. (Note: all those tidbits are from Paul Flannery's piece on Bradley, which you should go read NOW.)
And Bradley, the recipient of all those kind words, seems to be developing a swagger about his defense that is polar opposite of his offensive mentality. (Orlando Sentinel)
Bradley fired up his teammates, and he also appeared to unnerve Nelson.
"He seemed like he didn't even want to bring the ball up," Bradley said in a postgame interview with NBA TV. "I looked at him and he kept telling me throughout the game, 'You know what, don't pick me up, don't pick me up.' And that's when I knew, if I brought pressure, he didn't want nothing to do with it."
"It got to a point where he didn't want to bring the ball up," Bradley said of Nelson. "That's when I knew I was having an effect." …
"I can tell (when they get frustrated). Sometimes they talk to me," said Bradley. "They'll say you can get back a little bit, you don't have to pick me up all the time, and when they start talking to me like that, that's when I know I've got them.
Asked if that's what Nelson said tonight, Bradley replied, "Everybody says it to me – everybody. I just laugh. I might just look at them, I'm going to keep coming all of the time."
Bradley shot 2-7 last night. He scored six points in 29 minutes and added only three assists, looking uncomfortable per usual whenever the ball touched his skin. Bradley technically played point guard, but Doc Rivers noted that Paul Pierce actually took that role when the two graced the court together, because the Celtics still cringe when Bradley needs to run the offense.
Yet the youngest Celtic played as big a role in Boston's success as anyone. He stripped Nelson twice at half-court and forced an additional palming violation in the backcourt on another possession. He flustered Nelson to the point that he was essentially useless, not just unable to create plays himself but unable even to run Orlando's offensive sets. Most importantly, he and Sasha Pavlovic seemed to inspire the Boston Celtics to reach for the moon defensively, leading the Celtics into a bar fight that resulted in more floor burns last night than the Celtics had accrued all season.
Lastly, whoever bet $5 that I would write "Bradley and Pavlovic inspired the Celtics to reach for the moon" can now cash in his $20 million winner's fee.
7 Responses to "Avery Bradley developing strong confidence in defensive abilities"
Well, I told you repeatedly that this team has NOT fallen apart on defense this year, but has been relatively good, and I told you that Bradley was doing very well on defense, and that he probably won the Wizards game by seeming to shut Wall down in the 4th quarter.
Now we need Rondo to exchange some of his Matador Defense for some of Bradley's Honey Badger Defense.

ONeal had a solid game, as did Garnett in keeping Howard down. Bradley gives the C's that crazy defensive player they lost in Tony Allen (along with the horrible offensive skills and low basketball IQ; yet that crazy D guy is invaluable to the team; I give Bradley MVP for win against Magic.

No TOs and no PFs too. His offense will come and he should be on the break using his speed but the others need to rebound and outlet. Great assist back to PP on the 3-line as the trailer. At least AB knows where PP likes to hang. And that defense wasn't so great early paul as we do have 9 losses. Go Cs…

I have been a part of the Orange Conference since 2009 and I would have to say that each year it does get better. If you have not been to this amazing event where 6000 of your closest friends will be in one spot then I personally invite you to come this year.
Here is the highlight video from 2014.
The Orange Conference 2014: Highlights from Orange on Vimeo.
Believe me, you will have a blast.]]>
Yes the rumors are true. I, along with 2 other partners, are starting another company. Some of you are saying, of course you are. Others are saying that I am nuts. Others are saying I can't wait to hear more (hi Mom and Dad).
I know this may bring up some questions or at least I hope it does. Questions like:
These are all great questions.
giiive exists to empower global giving. We hope to help as many non-profits as possible. Me personally, I would love for giiive to be used by as many people as possible to go on as many mission trips as possible. I did a video to help explain this a little bit more. Here it is:
giiive only works with non-profits. Yes that means churches, organizations, schools, clubs, and so on. We believe that it takes 3 entities to make a difference. There needs to be an organization that inspires change. There needs to be individuals who are passionate about that inspiration. Then there needs to be influencers who propel both the individuals and the inspirations. The problem with crowd funding up to this point is that it did not allow for all 3 to coexist. Organizations should own their story. Individuals should be able to say why they are passionate about the organization. Influencers should have confidence knowing where there money is going. That is what giiive provides.
Only non-profits can use the site. giiive verifies that each organization that is on the site is a non-profit in good standing. Then that non-profit will ask individuals to help them raise money for who knows what.
Success is a funny thing. We have put a ton of money, time, and energy into giiive.com already. If we help one organization raise enough money and awareness to change a community then we have one. We hope though that it will be thousands upon thousands of communities that are impacted around the globe.
If you want more info or have any questions please go to http://giiive.org
At the heart of giiive is the mission to innovate and simplify fundraising for non-profit organizations, so they can help more people live extravagantly generous lives that the world will benefit from. giiive accomplishes this mission by providing resources and tools to serve organizations (the inspiration), doers (individuals), and giiivers (influencers). This focus is why we put three i's in giiive.
churches, ministries, charities and non-profit organizations inspire people to live extravagantly generous lives with the missions and causes they champion.
giiive is currently offering an unique partnership to select group of organizations to become early adopters of the giiive platform before our full release scheduled for September 3rd. To learn more about the giiive genesis opportunity (gi.1) please follow the below steps.
Volunteers and staff are the backbone of every charity, church, ministry and non-profit organization. They give their time and talents; set their hands to the plow to get work done, and help raise the money needed to accomplish the mission.
If you feel our platform can help your organization and causes you're passionate about, please feel free to point them in our direction. Simply, forward the link to our website or download our giiive Snapshot PDF and pass it along.
Influencers have the financial ability to help in addition they have the ability to introduce the inspirations they are supporting to their social network.
So what do you think? Do you like the 3 i's? Can you believe that it means more than the .com was available?
As many of you know I founded http://roar.pro about 5 years ago. ROAR was not the first mobile app company by any means. It was one of the first that was focused on non-profits. ROAR helps non-profits communicate better on mobile devices.
One major thing I learned the past 5 years is that non-profits need a lot of help and there is always an opportunity for innovation in this space. One area that I continue to see a need in the non-profit space is help telling their stories of inspiration while having accountability with the donors. This is where I see an opportunity in the crowd-funding space and that is one of the reasons http://giiive.com was created. I truly believe that thousands of non-profits can share their story and raise much needed funds to change communities all around the world.
At giiive.com we want non-profits to be able to tell their story. We don't want organizations to just rely on their people. We also want individuals to be passionate about the causes that they support. Finally we want donors and influencers to know where their money is truly going. We believe the platform in which giiive.com has created has done just that.
On September 3rd http://giiive.com will officially launch. We are launching with an organization called Sierra Leone International Mission School or SLIMS for short. I am asking you for your help.

- climate shifts;
- synchronization;
- North Atlantic Oscillation
[1] Models and data suggest that the interplay of major climate modes may result in climate shifts. More specifically it has been shown that when the network of North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and North Pacific Index (NPI) synchronizes, an increase in the coupling between these oscillations destroys the synchronous state and leads the climate system to a new state. These shifts are associated with significant changes in global temperature trend and in ENSO variability. Here we probe the details of this network's dynamics to investigate if a certain oscillation is the culprit in these shifts. From a total of 12 synchronization events observed in three climate simulations and in observations we find that the instigator of these shifts is NAO. Without exception only when NAO's coupling with the Pacific increases a shift will occur. Our results suggest a dynamical sequence of events in the evolution of climate shifts which is consistent with recent independent empirical and modeling studies.

Coowon Browser 0.9.9.0 Beta
Coowon Browser is designed to be a solution for all these problems. Based on Google Chrome, the Coowon Browser intends to incorporates various functions that will certainly improve your experience.
Sync data using your Google account
Coowon Browser offers you the possibility to login to your Google account and sync the browsing history, bookmarks, and other settings to all your devices. This is very useful because you will have to perform the necessary adjustments only once.
Additional navigation functions for improving your experience
The browser comes with a collection of simple but highly effective features designed to help you perform certain tasks faster and in a more intuitive manner. First off, you get to quickly close tabs with a simple double click.
In addition, the Mouse Gestures function allows you to scroll the page up or down, navigate backward or forward, reload the webpage, and much more, by simply performing mouse movements: the right mouse button must be pressed down to enable the feature.
Install Coowon extensions to add extra features
Coowon Browser comes with a couple of already installed Coowon extensions designed to provide access to certain tools specific to the browser. Moreover, you can navigate to the Coowon App Center and install new ones.
However, even if the extensions are installed, their buttons are not placed in the Coowon Browser bar automatically, and there is no option to add them manually. As a result, you cannot access their capabilities.
Unpolished web browser indented for online gamers
Coowon Browser is designed to offer simple but efficient tools for people that are used to play games in their web browser. Unfortunately, the application is not yet polished and you cannot use the additional tools.
