New Year's Eve 2007: Berklee College of Music
On the whole, our event went off without a hitch. We did, however, have to build a control room from scratch in a conference room next to the recital hall. We used two Yamaha DM1000 consoles to do the mix. We also recorded into an Nuendo system (multitrack) for later postproduction. We used Shoeps MK series or Neumann (TLM170, TLM103 and KM100 series) microphones. The signal from the microphones were split so the PA could have access to the same microphones that I used.
The venue was a small recital hall (held 100 people) and the ambiance during the performance was lively and festive. The challenge mixing the show was getting clarity from all the instruments (the Danilo Perez Trio and Big Band has 28 members). This is the fourth year in a row that we have produced Toast of the Nation from this venue. Every year the band gets bigger!
Finally, for the transmission the feed was sent via ISDN using a Prima at 256kb/s MPEG Layer 3 stereo, and as a backup we had a Telos Xstream running at 128kb/s AAC.

I can't really see anybody getting gibbed by bullets. If you get sprayed with bullets, you tend to become "pulp", not giblets. Anybody ever see that South American Rapist Execution? At least, that's what I remember. Five guys with UZIs executing a child killer/rapist, and all that was left of him was a satisfying harmless lump of goo Sometimes justice IS served.) Anyways, as for getting gibbed in an explosion, that's understandable (Though more blood should definitely be present.) I just can't/don't see it being done with bullets. Sure, blood sprays, but the actual body falling apart? No.

Re: Gibs?
You ever seen somebody get shot with a 20mm...or even a full auto .50 cal. They pretty much get ripped apart. As in..arms shot off and stuff. So that shoudl be the only gibs done by bullets (yes i know there are no 20mm, but it would be a cool turret gun...20mm Chain Gun. =)
26th Mar 2000, 05:44 AM | #3 |
Re: Gibs?
Unfortunately, no. Though I served my stint in the army (I got booted out due to "Uncontrolable Anger") I never had the pleasure of seeing the enemy ripped apart. But, again, gibs are gibs. Yes, I agree, certain guns could rip somebody apart, but being somewhat of a gun afficiando (or however the hell you spell that, especially drunk on tequila) you never REALLY see anybody ripped to shreds by anything in INF's arsenal. Now, don't get me wrong. the two mods I loved for Unreal (and believe me, I've had Unreal and UT since they both first came out in Canada, got bless AVault's soul for that 5star review) were serpentine and infiltration. I have always wanted a mod and/or game that has included real world scenarios. While Team Fortress 2 (albeit having a geeky little name) is kinda cool in that military way, INF has been the steady mofo. I just wish I had a cool 3 million to bribe these basards with, so I could make INF exactly the product it should be (and be surprised or not, I'm actually attempting to approach the government with a grant proposal, God bless me INF team, to get this thing funded and stand-alone, on my own terms,) and although I may be considered a bastard for that remark, a heavily modified UT enging using UDP and some seriously modified code... drool. Okay, this is O/T, but I'm drunk, and normally I have strippers to entertain me. I love strippers =), Windows just made a beeping sounds. I'm sorry all, just ignore this message if possible.

Re: Gibs?
never fear, the gib situation will be rectified. Now go have another!

Re: Gibs?
I was just wondering today if it actually IS possible to gib someone in real life. Hmmm......yeah, I suppose so.
26th Mar 2000, 10:15 PM | #6 |
Re: Gibs?
After having a little chuckle at my own assinine posts, it is possible to gib somebody, I suppose, but you'd have to be intensely surgical about it, and certainly not the way its handled in most games, which is mainly just added in because 15 year old boys get hard looking at bodies bursting (young men, that is an affliction that will never leave you.) Or maybe its just mean that thinks its cool seeing a body burst. But cool is not real. Yes, again, you could sit there and surgically remove all their parts with a gun, but its not really all that practical to do so.

Re: Gibs?
Touche... but you knew what I meant =). But, again, some things that are cool to see are not always real. I mean, playing semantics and all, and heavily modifying an IQ test question, "If all things real are cool, and cool is real, then it is true that all cool things must be real".
This statement, is, of course, false. I thought The Matrix was pretty cool, but I've yet to see anybody run up a wall and dodge bullets. =) |

Jerry Gilbert
The Green Bay Packers are at the halfway point of the 2007 season with a record of 7-1. Neither national expert nor devoted fan would have predicted this feat last summer. Brett Favre stumbles as he tries to explain the success to reporters, often sounding as if he expects it to end at any second. He is right. With no running attack, no star in the return game and offensive and defensive units prone to damaging penalties, what could possibly insure continued success as the season progresses?
The answer is that the 2007 Green Bay Packers have enough talented players, so that one of them has shown up often enough to earn victories. Most prominent has been the Franchise Quarterback, Brett Favre. He was under constant pressure and mostly ineffective against the Eagles in the opener, but there was that one improvisational drive that made the difference. He was also missing in action against the Redskins. However, in every other victory, a key ingredient has been the play calling, deceptiveness and the "only he could do it" passes of Brett Favre.
The upset in Kansas City is an example. Burdened by a bad day form his offensive line, Brett Favre nevertheless completed pinpoint passes to his reliable Donalds, Driver and Lee and also to his emerging young wide receivers, Greg Jennings and James Jones. Each of them has made a great catch at some point, which also has made a difference. Being optimistic, one would hope that a potentially better receiver than any of them, Koren Robinson may also make a great play or three as the season continues. Any sign of life from the running game could make this offense a potent unit.
A discussion of the special teams begins with the specialists. Who can forget the fake punt that was called off, except that nobody informed the punter? Jon Ryan's heroic broken field run for a first down is perhaps the season's finest example of an athlete making a play when it was needed. Less noteworthy but still important was kicker Mason Crosby's field position saving tackle against the Chiefs. Coverage units won the Eagles game. Charles Woodson's timely punt return was a turning point in Kansas City. Over all, the Green Bay special teams are about average. Timely kicks, blocks and tackles have made their impact way above average. It is on defense that we see the most examples of playmakers. Last Sunday, against the team with the best home record, since 1990 104-86, Greg Jennings caught the go ahead long pass, but Charles Woodson's interception sealed the victory. A hard tackle that stops the runner short of a first down or prevents a completion is a trademark of this unit, as is the consistent pass rush pressure of Aaron Kampman, Corey Williams and KGB. Nick Barnett is the leader in tackles and attitude. Whether it is Al Harris breaking up a pass or A. J. Hawk tackling a runner for a loss, these players believe that they can always stop the opponent. Next Sunday rookie Aaron Rouse will start in place of the injured Nick Collins. Rouse will be required to make some plays.
Relying on timely heroics is a recipe to come up short from time to time. The Packers will likely lose a few games in the second half of the season. Detroit and Dallas will present a major challenge, and Minnesota and Carolina will come into Lambeau Field with something to prove. On the bright side, they only need to win about half the remaining games to insure a spot in the playoffs, and none of these teams is significantly better than Green Bay.
This suggests a hopeful scenario. The Packers are 7-1 with an under performing offensive line and a defense that could play much better. If the offensive line plays as well as it did at the end of last season, the improvements in the Packer receivers should be enough to score some points. Barring injury, Donald Driver, Koren Robinson and the youngsters should continue to rack up yards and touchdowns. Cut out a few penalties and coach Bob Sanders defense could be a shut down unit. A return to form by Cullen Jenkins would be a big help.
On paper, the Green Bay Packer are a year or two away from competing for a championship. On the field their record says they are on track to win the conference. But this is only the half way point, and there are many potential losses remaining on the schedule. However if the playmakers continue as they have been playing the Green Packers will win their share.

Matt Friedman and Adam Scott founded Wing Zone, a Buffalo wings takeout and delivery franchise, when they were only 21 and 19, respectively. Now they want to offer opportunities to others by removing some of the hurdles. "The reality in this day and age is that you need [at least] $100,000 net worth," says Friedman. "It's so difficult for someone young to start a business."
So in 2006, Friedman and Scott established their Managing Partner program for individuals who have at least three years of restaurant management experience and $15,000. The managing partners are put in charge of a company-owned location and earn 25 percent of the profit. Once they've built enough capital to cover 50 percent of the store's purchase price, it becomes theirs--they officially become a franchisee, and corporate finances the remaining 50 percent over a set period of time. "We want to get them to a point in roughly two to three years where they could become an owner," says Friedman. Currently, the program has opportunities available in Atlanta; Charleston, South Carolina; Miami; and Tampa, Florida.
Friedman and Scott aren't the only ones dishing out the opportunities. Noble Benefield, an experienced restaurant executive and advocate for urban development programs, became a Wing Zone franchisee almost two years ago. But even before then, he dreamed of providing opportunities to others. Benefield's goals are similar to those of the Managing Partner program: He aims to help others obtain franchises of their own. To do that, he plans to select protégés, teach them the ropes, help them develop plans to establish and build equity, and eventually allow them to acquire his store. Benefield, 58, just selected his first protégé for his store in Lithonia, Georgia, and is setting his sights on opening another store. He'd like to replicate the model at least five times. Says Benefield, "If I can achieve that and get those running well and successful in themselves, I would consider this particular piece of my life a success."
For many, there is a necessary waiting period between the time they leave their full-time job and when they get their business off the ground and turning a profit. And that alone can be enough to squash their dreams of setting out on their own.
Three years ago, Spring-Green Lawn Care, a lawn- and tree-care service franchise, took advantage of the fact that its business is a seasonal one and launched a program that is known today as Flex-Start. Under this program, franchisees who come in midseason are able to start part time, with a commitment to go full time by January 1 of the following year. In this way, franchisees can keep their full-time jobs while learning the ropes of the franchise and building up a client base on the side. The results of the program are impressive. According to James Young, president of Spring-Green Lawn Care, franchisees under the Flex-Start program enjoy first-year revenue that is an average of 30 percent higher than that of franchisees not in the program. In addition, more than half the franchises that opened in 2007 started under the program. Says Young, "When you think of that [transition] from the corporate environment to entrepreneurship, this really is a unique bridge, [so Flex-Start] has been well-received."
"The Flex-Start program was a tremendous help for us, because it let us crawl before we walked and before we had to run," says Matt Holker, 53, who bought his franchise in August 2006 with his son Greg, 23. Matt, who worked in the construction and housing industry, was able to keep his job while learning the franchise's computer system, making sales calls and growing his customer base to roughly 50 clients by fall 2006. By the next spring, business was booming, and the following fall, they had obtained more than 350 clients. His son Luke, 27, has joined the company part time and has a full-time job as well. Says Matt, "Had we not had some kind of adjustment to get to this point, quite honestly, we would have fallen on our faces."
Union Programs
Even laid-off workers in the auto industry have programs geared toward helping them become franchisees. In 2006, Jack Butorac, CEO and president of Marco's Franchising LLC, the franchisor for Marco's Pizza in Toledo, Ohio, established a partnership with United Auto Workers to lend a helping hand to those who had suffered from the industry's major cutbacks. "These are individuals who have given 110 percent," says Butorac. "I felt it was an opportunity to give back or give them an opportunity to succeed and control their own destiny."
Marco's Franchising waives costs for store construction management and reduces the franchise fee by up to $5,000 if relocation expenses are incurred. In addition, the company has pledged to give 20 percent of all royalty fees collected from franchisees in the program to the UAW's training and re-education fund.

Prague - The EU means the freedom of travel, studies and work for almost one half of Czechs, but also squandering and bureaucracy for one-third of them, according to a poll conducted by the Eurobarometer and released by the European Commission Representation in Prague today.
Czechs were more critical of the EU than the European average, the poll found.
The results do not considerably differ from the previous polls, Ivo Slosarcik, from Charles University´s Institute of International Studies, said.
Czechs expect the EU to give them free space for individual activities and they do not want the EU to set standards and regulations for them, that is "to tell them what to do," he said.
On the other hand, they expect the EU to guarantee the economic prosperity, he added.
He said he lacked a greater emphasis on the promotion of Czech interests within the EU in the poll.
Some 55 percent of Czechs consider themselves EU citizens, but they placed 22nd within the whole EU in this respect.
On the other hand, 48 percent of Czechs only feel to be the Czech Republic's citizens, with which they occupied the sixth place in the EU.
Some 47 percent of those polled felt to be both Czechs citizens and Europeans.
However, more Czechs than the EU average trust European institutions.
Some 45 percent of Czechs trust the European Parliament, while the EU average is 39 percent, 42 percent the European Commission (32 percent in the whole EU) and 49 percent the European Central Bank (34 percent in the EU).
Mainly young people and those with higher education and income assessed the EU positively, while negative answers prevailed among the elderly, the unemployed and low-income groups, said Vojtech Hundl, the author of the assessment report.
Some 43 percent of Czechs agree with the view that a solution to the economic situation was the biggest problem faced by the EU.
About 29 percent believe that the main target should be an increase in the living standards of all EU citizens and an increase in economic growth.
Czechs are rather split on the question of what creates European identity. The biggest proportion, 29 percent, said it was sport.
The answer was followed by culture, history and social values.
Compared with the rest of the EU, Czechs are more often convinced that the EU is best characterised by personal freedom. On the other hand, they were the least convinced that the EU is characterised by the observance of human rights.
"The EU means mainly a historical and cultural legacy rather than some economic or political force to us," Hundl pointed out.
Czechs are ones of the most sceptical about the single European currency.
The TNS Opinion & Social consortium conducted the poll on over 32,000 European citizens, including 1000 Czechs, last November.

"Then we're sitting there, and the mediator is having us write down our feelings with different colored pens on an easel and telling us to squeeze these little rubber balls if we get anxious or upset. It wasn't a mediation, it was game-playing. The whole thing was feel-good Seventies bullshit. I don't care about feeling good. I want my foundation repaired."
Moore, who says he's never fought anything like this in his life, says his phone calls to DURA were made out of frustration. "The whole thing stems from the fact that they may have taken my complaint but they never intended to do anything about it," he says. "The people at DURA think that they can hide behind their bureaucracy, but I'm not going to let that happen." Moore still contends that DURA owes him the cost of repairs to his foundation as well as an apology for ignoring his complaint. "It was over as far as they were concerned," he says. "Hell, it never even began for them."
Still unsatisfied after the mediation, Moore filed his own complaint with police, asking that authorities file criminal charges against Powers for "official oppression" as well as first- and second-degree official misconduct. "I also hold Don Eloe criminally liable for impersonating a structural engineer," says Moore. "Only at the mediation did I find out that he's not an engineer at all. If he didn't know what he was talking about, he shouldn't have opened his mouth in the first place."
Neither Powers nor Eloe returned calls from Westword, but Myrna Hipp says that as far as she's concerned, DURA did everything by the book. "We've had a small number of instances of homeowners dissatisfied with the quality of work," says Hipp, "and DURA works hard to remedy those situations. But I don't know what you can do if a person is this adamant about something that DURA allegedly missed on an inspection."
Police and prosecutors never took Moore up on his request that they file charges against Powers, deeming his complaint a civil matter, not a criminal one. But Moore says he'll continue to fight until DURA gives him what he wants. "Why is it that my house is less important than projects like the Adam's Mark or the Pavilions, which DURA has poured millions into?" he asks. "The backbone of this city is homeowners like me, and DURA treats us like dirt."
Hipp, however, says Moore was treated fairly. "The folks at DURA have enough experience to identify problems properly," she says. "It's not like they saw something and turned their backs on it. You're always dealing with the potential of human error, but I feel safe saying that nobody at DURA set out to screw the Moores."

"These are so tasty, I ate several myself and really didn't want to pack them in my gift boxes. For looks, they added that something extra to my gifts. I think that the brand marshmallow you use may have some bearing on how the cornflakes are manageable. You do have to work quickly and I finally gave up on the cinnamon 'berries'.

Doris B. Myers is pictured with one of her paintings, "Lilacs and Lace." | Photo provided
What: North Light Studio
Where: 759 W. Indiana 10, Wheatfield
More information: Call 956- 3707.

"Endangered wetland glowing pink, welcoming a new day
Reflecting the color not unlike a maiden's blush —
We know your purpose but have watched men rape your sisters
Only to leave behind concrete and glass ... ."
— Doris B. Myers,
from her poem
"Endangered Wetlands"
Doris Myers is a painter, sculptor and poet from Wheatfield who was born north of Shelby on Thanksgiving Day, 1921.
That makes her 90; she looks 60.
Myers was married to Richard for 66 years before his passing; they raised four adult children.
Myers attended Crown Point and DeMotte high schools. She's a retired teacher who earned a master's degree in art at Ball State University in Muncie. She didn't go to college until she had all four of her children, finishing at Valparaiso University the year she turned 40.
A tremendous artist, Myers' home also is her place of business — North Light Studio.
"My dad was a contractor-carpenter; those were hard times," Myers began. "We moved around a lot. I went to nine schools in 11 years."
Memories of the Great Depression?
"Oh, my gosh, I could talk for hours. There are certain things that the kids today could not relate to at all. For instance, my senior wardrobe in high school consisted of a suit, jacket and a skirt, one dress, two blouses, two pairs of silk hose and one pair of shoes.
"I think that's why my closet is filled with shoes now, because I was deprived of shoes during the Depression. We went barefooted in the summer to save our shoes."
Those sand burs hurt; I know.
"Living out in the country was a wonderful experience; I wouldn't trade it for today's high-tech. I think growing up during the Great Depression made us tougher, more durable."
At least you had food, living on a small farm part of the time.
"We always had a big garden. I wrote a story about the Great Depression for the DeMotte Historical Society. We'd dig apples up from the frost-free ground in the winter. We'd also pop our own popcorn and sort navy beans. Dad grew navy beans and would air-dry them. He'd sell them at the (tuberculosis) sanitarium north of Crown Point; 50-pound bags went for $1. We did a lot of canning.
"I think we're going back to that. People are becoming aware of chemicals and things. We started a community garden last year here in Wheatfield."
How do you lean politically?
"Oh, I'm a good Democrat."
You grew up during the Franklin D. Roosevelt era.
"I sure did. He made some mistakes, but he did a lot of good. Dad worked on the (Works Project Administration). We hated to do it, but I remember us accepting a mattress and cheese and things like that; it was a necessity. At that time, we lived in Leroy."
Members of my family were involved in the Civilian Conservation Corps.
"The CCC was a wonderful movement, and I think it would help today — except, today, we have big machinery to do the work of 15 men."
Doris, I think I would've liked President Harry S. Truman.
"Nobody told Harry what to do. He rode the train back to Missouri at the end of his term, no fanfare. He served his people, then went home."
Who have been some of your favorite presidents since the Great Depression?
"Well, (John F.) Kennedy of course. But the more you hear about that rascal, I don't know how he had time to be a president."
When Geraldine Ferraro was running for vice president, I heard a comedian say he didn't see what the big deal was about having a woman in the White House. He added, when Jack Kennedy was president, there were dozens of them.
"Do you ever watch David Letterman?"
Once in a while.
"He's really on (Republican Mitt) Romney; it's just funny as the Dickens. Some of the stuff is a little trashy; I wouldn't even repeat it.
"I really liked (President Bill) Clinton; he left us in the black. He also made a few social mistakes. Bill kissed me on the cheek; I was at a rally in Crown Point for Hillary. He put his arm around me and said, 'God bless you.' I didn't wash my face for the longest time."
President Barack Obama?
"I think he'll get back in; look how (Newt) Gingrich has dropped in the polls."
Let's talk about your art. Did you enjoy painting as a little girl?
"Oh, yeah. In fact, my mother didn't think I'd be a very good mama because I'd rather draw things than play with dolls. I remember when I was 4, we lived near Shelby. Mother would burn a farmer's match and give it to me to draw with."
Like charcoal.
"Yes, I'd draw on an old paper bag."
Do you have any idea how many acrylic, oil and watercolor paintings you've created?
"I've kept a record since the '70s; it's in the thousands. I belong to five art associations."
"I really fell in love with it. I would enroll in every ceramic class I could at VU. I still demonstrate in public occasionally; last year, we had the Sandhill Crane Festival. I took my wheel and sold pottery."
As I got out my car, I noticed several sandhill cranes in the cornfield next to your house.
"In the municipal building in Wheatfield is an 8-foot mural that I did of the cranes coming in at night from the swampland."
You taught at Wheatfield until it consolidated with DeMotte High School to become Kankakee Valley High School; then, you taught at KV.
"Yes, there was a parade when all that occurred. Some of the kids from the shop class at Wheatfield converted an old Nash into a convertible, and one of the boys dressed up as a very homely DeMotte homecoming queen. He was holding asparagus and egg crates because that's what they sell in DeMotte.
"I wanted that float to be paraded around the football field at halftime, but the coach wouldn't let me. He said, 'They'll kill us!' "
You're killin' me. At age 90, you started writing.
"I've always wanted to write, and I have written, but when I realized there was a writing group I could join, I thought maybe they could help me."
Where does the group meet?
"In Rensselaer; it's called the Prairie Writers Guild. They put out a collection of stories every year. The theme for 2011 was trees."
Doris, I have a copy of it. By the way, I took the photo that graces the cover of the book. That's a buddy of mine standing in front of that American Chestnut tree in Roselawn; he discovered it.
"I like O. Henry and his surprise endings."
My favorite is "The Last Leaf."
"Mine is 'The Gift of the Magi.' "
Are you working on anything now?
"Yes, a short story entitled 'When Ida Came to Visit.' It's a true story about a black-sheep part of my family; they moved to Cleveland to get away from the rest of the family.
"Years later, my cousin, Ida, came back to this area driving a '39 Ford coupe. She was the most beautifully dressed woman I ever saw. We really bonded. The last day of her visit — she was one her way to Arkansas to make a 'delivery' — she took me into Rensselaer to get gifts for everybody. I was much younger than Ida and I didn't understand the word counterfeit."
"You see, when Ida left town, they found counterfeit money in several of the stores where we shopped. She kept her suitcase locked under the bed while she stayed with us."
What a gem living in the middle of a cornfield in Wheatfield.
I could talk to Doris Myers all day.

Using Local Sources of Organic Nutrients |
Nutrient imbalances present problems in urban fringe watersheds, with an oversupply of nutrients in some areas of the watersheds. Use of organic materials from livestock farms and recycled urban waste streams can help improve soil productivity and reduce nutrient imbalances, and can contribute to the sustainability of local agriculture. A number of barriers exist to more widespread and efficient use of local organic materials in agriculture. These include concerns about availability of supplies relative to application timing, consistency of materials, compatibility with equipment and farming practices, economic questions, and potential side effects such as weeds, pathogens, and odors. A key issue is the need for better information on nutrient availability. In 2004 we completed a 3-year field and laboratory research project studying nitrogen availability from a range of composted and uncomposted local organic amendments. Research was done at OSU and WSU.
Organic fertilizer calculator worksheet: A downloadable worksheet for calculating organic fertilizer rates, developed at Oregon State University using the results of this research and subsequent laboratory research by Dan Sullivan at OSU.

Cultural districts as a springboard for revitalizing the region's economy
' is the project rolled out by Fondazione Cariplo to identify, promote and jointly fund
cultural districts
in the Lombardy region and in the provinces of Novara and Verbania.
The concept underlying the project is that efforts to preserve and capitalize on the cultural heritage set in motion a number of activities that involve diverse forms of expertise and help build social and human capital.
The project stems from the
Action Plan 'Cultural heritage as a catalyst for economic and social development at the local level'
that aims at promoting the cultural, social and economic development of the region by leveraging its cultural heritage. Under this Plan, the Foundation resolved to gear its action to creating a system of relationships favoring the integration of the efforts to preserve and foster a given area's cultural heritage with infrastructures and with the businesses conducted by the other industries.
To achieve this objective, the Foundation chose to finance this specific project geared to testing this new model for cultural heritage management in Lombardy.

Press Release
Presse & Nyheter |
SAS® High-Performance Analytics pulls valuable insight from text, big dataWith fast SAS text mining, enterprises can uncover and seize opportunities before it's too lateTHE PREMIER BUSINESS LEADERSHIP SERIES, AMSTERDAM (08. Mai 2012) – SAS, the leader in business analytics software and services, will add high-performance text mining to its powerful in-memory analytics software in the third quarter of 2012. SAS High-Performance Analytics, appliance-ready software for Teradata and EMC Greenplum, performs complex analytics on big data. SAS High-Performance Analytics, which began shipping last year, will be enhanced in August with new text-mining support to provide companies with insight gained from unstructured data in emails, social media, call center logs, documents and other information. Unstructured data, accounting for more than 80 percent of today's data, can be difficult to analyze, often swamping traditional computer architectures. SAS High-Performance Analytics will provide new capabilities to address even the largest text repositories, known as "big data," revealing hidden relationships within unstructured data. This helps organizations uncover potential opportunities – new lines of business, untapped customer segments, quality and client satisfaction issues – and profits. "Enterprise data assets have grown exponentially in recent years, and these massive amounts of structured and unstructured data require two things to be valuable for decision making," said Surya Mukherjee, Senior Analyst at Ovum. "First, the data volume must be abstracted from users so that they can analyze very large data sets without having to worry about the plumbing. And second, these insights must be delivered quickly to decision makers before a business opportunity is lost or a risky situation develops into a catastrophe. "High-performance analytics like those offered by SAS have the potential to generate significant value from data, providing answers in near-real time and delivering competitive advantage," he said. SAS High-Performance Analytics slashes analysis time from days to hours, from minutes to seconds, without sampling or using less-than-ideal analytic techniques, even on billions of rows of data. This technology will proliferate across SAS' broad product line for faster, better answers within enterprises facing tight competition and increased regulation. "High-performance analytics is the most significant SAS technology advance in at least 10 years," said SAS CEO Jim Goodnight. "We realized that organizations were accumulating massive amounts of data that could provide answers to questions they could never ask before. The analysis took so long to process, answers were irrelevant by the time the computer spit them out. High-performance analytics provides answers when the information is still useful and leaves time to explore multiple possibilities." Limitless Insight"With high-performance analytics applied to their text data, companies can greatly improve decision making," said Radhika Kulkarni, SAS Vice President of Advanced Analytics. "For example, a large financial services firm with millions of customer accounts and thousands of products can merge customer call-center transcripts with demographic and financial data to improve response rates from marketing campaigns with SAS. Add to that the speed of SAS High-Performance Analytics, and marketers can interactively adjust and fine-tune scenarios to find the best way to reach customers." Enterprises are finding real value in faster answers:
SAS High-Performance Analytics could be highly beneficial in many other scenarios, such as manufacturing. A manufacturer using SAS could build predictive models from product and parts catalogs, which contain millions of items with full text descriptions. The models could then be used to match new customer service requests with appropriate information, and prioritize ordering needs in near-real time. The SAS High-Performance Analytics product family includes other solutions, such as SAS High-Performance Risk, SAS Visual Analytics and its patent-pending SAS® LASR™ Analytic Server. With these solutions organizations can explore all data, analyze billions of rows of data in just minutes or seconds, and visually present results. Business professionals can use a graphic interface in SAS Visual Analytics to explore data without IT support. Road to better decisionsToday, organizations around the world rely on SAS Analytics to make better decisions, whether fighting fraud, managing risk or improving road safety. Spain's National Observatory for Road Security, Dirección General de Tráfico, needed advanced analytics that integrated well with existing infrastructure, said Anna Mª Ferrer Giménez, former Director of the agency. "SAS matched that criteria and had the analytics power that we needed. Now, thanks to SAS, we can analyze traffic accident data with the best analytics tools. This helps us to make better informed decisions to achieve our main objective: reducing accident rates and saving lives," she said. With SAS High-Performance Analytics, organizations can now make crucial decisions faster than ever. Today's announcement came at The Premier Business Leadership Series event in Amsterdam, a business conference presented by SAS that brings together more than 700 attendees from the public and private sectors to share ideas on critical business issues.

VIDEO: Daily Zap for games played Oct. 9
Bosh, Chalmers offer Cavs some warnings about playing alongside LeBron | Carter-Williams could miss start of season | Rivers using visualization techniques with Clips | Beasley headed to China
No. 1: Heat's Bosh, Chalmers reflect on playing alongside LeBron — The Miami Heat are in Rio De Janiero, Brazil, preparing for their preseason game against the Cleveland Cavaliers tomorrow. That will mark the first time the Heat will face their since-departed (to Cleveland) superstar, LeBron James. Cavs point guard Kyrie Irving is expected to miss the game with an ankle injury and in the lead-up to the game, Heat point guard Mario Chalmers and power forward Chris Bosh have piped up about what it was like playing with James. Chalmers had some cautionary words for Irving, writes Chris Hayes of The Plain-Dealer, and Bosh had similar ones for Cleveland's power forward, Kevin Love, writes Ethan Skolnick of Bleacher Report.
Here's what Chalmers had to say about being a point guard playing next to James:
Cavaliers forward LeBron James was hard on Chalmers in their four years together in Miami. As the floor general, Chalmers made his share of boneheaded blunders and James, being the perfectionist that he is, would repetitively scold Chalmers publicly during games.
Sometimes Chalmers would argue back, trying to make his point. However, you're not winning that battle against the best player in the world. It wasn't aimed at being malicious. He just wanted Chalmers to succeed at his job.
James was hard on his former point guard because he's a point guard at heart and understands how the position should be played.
Nevertheless, Chalmers seems relieved that it's now Kyrie Irving's problem.
"LeBron is a dominant player so if he feels like something is not going his way, he's going to say something about it," Chalmers told Northeast Ohio Media Group. "For Kyrie, he's going to have to adjust to that and LeBron is going to have to adjust to Kyrie. It's going to be a different factor for Kyrie."
Chalmers refused to elaborate on what it was like when a furious James was approaching and you knew he wasn't coming to give a hug.
"Man, that process is over and done with it," Chalmers said. "It's a fresh start, fresh team, new year."
He then took it a step further and claimed to have amnesia.
"I don't even remember, bro," he said. "Last year is in the past. This is a new year. New me. I'm not thinking about it."
And here's Bosh talking about being a power forward alongside LeBron:
Specifically, is it more difficult to go from a first option to a second or third choice—as Love must do now—or from a second or third option to a first?
On these topics, Bosh was uniquely qualified to answer, having gone from first option in Toronto to third choice for four years in Miami to, now, first option in Miami.
"Yeah, it's a lot more difficult taking a step back, because you're used to doing something a certain way and getting looks a certain way," Bosh told Bleacher Report recently. "And then it's like, well, no, for the benefit of the team, you have to get it here.
"So even if you do like the left block, the volume of the left block is going to be different. Now you have to make those moves count. So with me, it was like a chess game. I'm doing this move and thinking about the next move and trying to stay five moves ahead. You're not getting it as much. If you got one or two a game, it's a lot different."
You don't get your pick of the buffet.
"Exactly," Bosh said. "You just get your entree and that's it. It's like, wait a minute, I need my appetizer and my dessert and my drink, what are you doing? And my bread basket. What is going on? I'm hungry! It's a lot different. But if you can get through it, good things can happen. But it never gets easy. Even up until my last year of doing it, it never gets easier."
Love, at age 25, averaged 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds his final season in Minnesota. Bosh, at age 25, averaged 24.0 points and 10.8 his final season in Toronto. His averages declined in the four years since, as he reached greater heights (four NBA Finals, two championships) playing with James.
"It's going to be very difficult for him," Bosh said of Love's new task. "Even if I was in his corner and I was able to tell him what to expect and what to do, it still doesn't make any difference. You still have to go through things, you still have to figure out things on your own. It's extremely difficult and extremely frustrating. He's going to have to deal with that."
And, lastly, Bosh told ESPN.com's Brian Windhorst that he has 'no hard feelings' about James' departure:
Bosh surprised some when he said he hadn't spoken with James since he left to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers in July. But he doesn't understand the surprise.
"There's no hard feelings or anything," Bosh said after the Miami Heat practiced Thursday in advance of their preseason game against the Cavs on Saturday. "If we're both trying to win, he's against us, and that's a matter of fact."
This isn't personal, Bosh said, and he reinforced it by recalling a gift he and his wife, Adrienne, recently sent James.
"He had a baby shower, and we sent him a gift for his daughter," Bosh said. "Then training camp started, and that was about it."
Clarifying comments he made Tuesday, Bosh said he did speak with James briefly at Dwyane Wade's wedding Aug. 30.
"My time is backwards and everything, but we talked," Bosh said. "I want people to understand I'm a competitor, and he's on the other team. I think he'd understand that, and I understand that, and that's how it is now."

Governor Quinn Announces PARC Investments to 22 Communities, Creating 300 Jobs $50 Million in Illinois Jobs Now! Capital Funding Will Help Local Communities Renovate and Build New Recreation Facilities
CHICAGO – October 3, 2011. Governor Pat Quinn today announced that 22 communities across the state will be able to renovate and
repair recreation facilities and build new facilities with support from the Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program. The Park and Recreational Facility Construction (PARC) Grant Program is providing $50 million in targeted investments to eligible local governments for acquisition, development, construction, rehabilitation or other capital improvements to park and recreation facilities in Illinois. The public works projects are expected to create more than 300 jobs.
"Investing in Illinois communities now is essential to growing our economy for years to come," Governor Quinn said. "The PARC Program will help communities all over the state proceed on local initiatives that will boost local economic development and help improve the quality of life for all Illinois residents."
The PARC Grant Program, administered by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), reimburses grant recipients up to 75 percent of approved project costs with up to 90 percent reimbursement available to local governments defined as disadvantaged. Projects eligible under the program involve land acquisition for the construction of new, or expansion of existing, indoor and outdoor recreation facilities, and for open space and conservation purposes.
"Recreation is important to our health as individuals and our health as a community," Lt. Governor Sheila Simon said. "In Carbondale, like cities across the state, many people worked together toward this opportunity to play together. Our state is a better place for their teamwork."
"This is a great opportunity to improve the quality of life in communities throughout Illinois, not only in the long term but the short term as well by creating jobs to make these projects a reality," IDNR Director Marc Miller said.
The $1,504,500 will be used to rehabilitate the exterior and interior of the Humboldt Park Fieldhouse building.

I bought this because I love all other Burt's Bees products. I have to say I was very disappointed. The color is ok but what bothered me the most is the texture of it, the smell and the taste. The texture is very dry. I had to wipe it off my lips because the smell was so bad and the taste was equally as awful when I licked my lips. :(
I will not repurchase.
I got this for really cheap: on sale at CVS.
I'm asian. The color is rather ridiculous at first. I still like the brand (and the signature mintly ting) and the color is beginning to grow on me. Overall, I wouldn't by this at msrp price.
I can't believe the low rating on this. This was my first lip shimmer. I have merlot, raisin, 2 nutmegs, papaya, fig, rhubarb, and this. This on me is a rust color that works well on my light warm complexion. That being said, fig works best of all for me when I want an MLBB look. I actually gave my coffee to my mom one day when I found her wearing purple lipstick and couldn't stand to look at her committing such a horrendous cosmetic error. She loves this lip shimmer and now that she is almost all out of it, she only uses it for special occasions!
I'm obviously in a minority here, but I love the color! My lips are too thin to get away with dark lipstick, so this is a great substitute. The color is really not that dark, IMHO. I'd describe it as a soft brick red, and it doesn't really have shimmer, as such, but that's another thing I like about it. Staying power isn't great (otherwise it would get a 5), and you can't twist it _back_into the tube (how silly is that!), But apart from that, this is fantastic, and I'll definitely repurchase when my tube runs out (soon now...)
More reviews by snow_white_suicide
Who selected the colours for this range? Bloody hell! I love Burt's bees and its one of my favorite ranges for skin products but here we have a brick red lip product that does nothing (again) for me! Yuk! Don't attempt this if you are super pale!
I love all of the lip shimmers, but this color is my favorite. It is the perfect terracotta color for my golden, medium tan complextion. The color pay off is really nice and quite long lasting. I always keep plenty on hand.
thankfully this was a gift because the color does not work for me at all. i think medium skintones should stay away from this color because it is a combination of red and brown that is very unattractive. i havent tried the other colors but this one is not worth it except that it has the minty quality of the original balm and is surprisingly pigmented
Just bought one in Coffee, its looks horrible. It's kind of dry to put on, doesn't go smoothly on my lips. I still have to use my Burt's Bees balm to soften my lips. I would not be buying this again. Wasted my $4.
I am surprised so many people didn't like this. I like the slim packaging, the color is nice on me, a brownish red, but not too dark. I don't like to wear dark colors on my lips, this is a bit dark on me in the winter when my skin is extra pale. My tube is not sparkly at all. The mint tingle is nice and I like that Burt's Bees uses natural ingredients.
First of all, the color. It is not the least bit brown on me. It turns bright pink. Ugh.
Second of all, it's wayyy too soft. This is exacerbated by the fact that you can't retract it once you're raised it, so it results in pink/brown goo all over the tube, your hands, and your lips. Every time I apply it, even if it looks smooth, it leaves chunks of pigment just sitting there on my lips.
The only good thing about it is the way it feels - I like the tingly mint. But that's it.

I could spend a long time telling you about all the places to go for the best scenery in the Trossachs and Loch Lomond area. There is so much - in fact where-ever you go around here you'll be among the finest scenery in Scotland.
Read on and you'll find the places that I personally like best. Better still, come here for a break and find the places you like best. You'll have a hard time deciding, but it's great fun trying to decide!
Consider cycling to some of the places nearby - there are safe cycling routes by Loch Venachar, Loch Ard, the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and up to Strathyre and Lochearnhead on Sustrans route 7.
Cycle hire
Wheels Cycling Centre just outside town or Square Wheels in Callander
Click here for an active map. Suggestion! Print a copy and keep it for reference!
At the east end (Stirling end) of Callander, the road to Bracklinn falls (Bracklinn Road) is just beyond the east end post office.
Follow Bracklinn Road up the hill, over the old railway bridge at the awkward bend and continue past 'Arden House' - famous as the setting for BBC TV's early 'Doctor Finlay' series. At the entrance to the Golf Club, turn left then right and follow up the hill about half a mile to the Bracklinn falls car park on the right.
The falls are reached by a 10 minute walk along the footpath which before reaching the falls opens out to provide wonderful views over the valley towards Stirling where the castle and Wallace Monument can be seen on clear days. The falls are at the bottom of a series of steps on the path.
Car Parking. No Toilets or other amenities
Just 5 minutes drive or 30 minutes walk from Callander town centre.
Take the Glasgow Rd at the newsagent then right at the mini-roundabout. Follow for about 1 m. Don't turn right over the little bridge, instead, follow the 'no through road' for another half mile or so and park at the little carpark on the right at the lochside.
The walk up the lochside road is open to the public on foot and by bicycle.
The photograph shows shows one of the fabulous sunsets often seen on Loch Venachar from the south shore.
No toilets or other amenities.
On the A821 - The Duke's Pass - between Aberfoyle and Callander.
This spectacular winding road was built by a Duke of Montrose and replaced a track which was passable only on foot or horseback. The road reaches a height of over 800 feet and near the highest point is a car park and viewpoint, the entrance marked by some huge slate boulders.
The forest tracks can be accessed here by car and for a small fee you can enjoy a drive through some of the finest scenery in the Trossachs with views of lochs and mountains - and the chance to spy deer, buzzards, red kites and the occasional eagle.
From Callander, drive north through Kilmahog towards Strathyre and the Falls and carpark are sign posted about a mile after Kilmahog. Take care crossing as the carpark is on a bad corner. Parts of the footpath by the river are in need of repair so watch your feet!
At one time this pass was one of the main routes into the Highlands (and still is). If you imagine yourself as a Roman Legionaire in a foreign and hostile land you can well understand why the Romans stopped at Kilmahog and ventured no further!
No loos
Halfway between Callander and Aberfoyle. Watch for the sign to Loch Katrine at the west end of Loch Achrayat the sharp corner. The car and coach park is about ¾mile along the access road. The photo was taken from the summit of Ben A'an.
Beautiful Scenery, walks, Steamer, bicycle hire.
Carpark, souvenirs, tea room, toilets.
West of Aberfoyle on the B829 you will find Loch Ard with a great variety of views and splendid reflections of the panorama over to Ben Lomond with its easily recognised 'dimpled' peak. There are places to park safely while you get those photos but do be very careful where you park as the often narrow road is plagued by blind bends and humps.
The photograph shows Ben Lomond in the distance but there is no easy access to the ben from this road.
No Loos for 14 miles
Lots of odd places to park briefly for photos
One mile west of Callander at Kilmahog, take the left turn at the Trossachs road and follow this road about 11 m. to Aberfoyle. At Aberfoyle, turn right and after about 12 m. and lots of scenery you come to a T junction. Turn right and 1/2 mile later stop at Stronachlachar pier.
Wonderful views down the loch.
Steamer calls but see timetable.
5 mile return walk to Glengyle house, birthplace of Rob Roy MacGregor. Carpark, Toilet. Seasonal cafe.
The photo is from Royal Cottage which can be visited (free) from Stronachlachar at the northwest end of Loch Katrine
One mile west of Callander at Kilmahog, turn left when you see the Ttossachs road on your left and follow this road (The Duke's Pass) for about 11m. to Aberfoyle. As you follow this road watch for great views on the left over Loch Achray and behind to Ben A'an and the trossachs.
At the foot of the hill down to Aberfoyle, turn right and soak up some wonderful mountain and loch views for about 12 miles until you come to a T junction.
Turn left then 3 miles to reach Inversnaid.
Absolutely stunning views over Loch Lomond from an elevated viewpoint.
Footferry to Tarbet. West Highland Way Long distance footpath.
On the way back up the hill, watch on the right for a sign to 'Rob Roy's View' which offers excellent views over the loch.
Carpark, Toilets. Public House.
Drive north north from Callander on the A84 for about 12 miles via Strathyre and Lochearnhead. Continue up the hill past the end of Lochearn and in about 1 mile, the view opens out to reveal GlenOgle.
Look at the side of the waterfalls on the left to see the old military road (now a rough footpath), and above it the Victorian railway viaduct - now a cycleway and footpath.
Parking at Lochearnhead and in limited layby space in the Glen.
Toilets and pubs at Lochearnhead.
North of Callander on the A84, for about 15 miles via Strathyre and Lochearnhead. Proceed up GlenOgle and after the road levels out and starts to drop, watch out for a picnic area on the right. Park there and walk along the track to see the best view of Ben Lawers - nearly 4000ft of it.
Note the memorial to the RAF pilots on your right.
Access here for an easy walk down the glen on the old rail track.
Limited car park area. Seasonal snackbar . No Toilets.
Drive on to the foot of the hill on the main road then turn right for Killin and the Falls of Dochart.
Killin is one of these places where you may find wonderful scenery in every direction and in all kinds of weather - in fact some places are more magnificent in wet or stormy weather.
Make a point of visiting the ancient MacNab burial ground at the Dochart falls on Inchbuie - 'yellow island'.
Try the little B road on the south side of Loch Tay for some wondeful views over the loch and to Glen Lochay - especially late summer evenings at sunset.
North from Callander on the A84 for about 10 miles via Strathyre and turn off to Balquhidder at Kings House.
Awhole variety of scenery, from the wide open view down the glen seen from the Kings House hotel, to the serenity and reflections of Loch Voil and the rugged splendout of the west end of the Glen at Glencarnaig and Inverlochlarig, the home of Rob Roy Macgregor.
Drive carefully to Balquhidder on this narrow twisting road. Walk the short way up the Creag an Tuirc to the MacLaren stone and a fantastic view along the glen
At Balquhidder, visit Rob Roy's grave then continue 4m. tothe West end of Loch Voil.
Landowners have blocked off some of the best picnic spots by placing huge boulders by the roadside in order to block the access.
Continue a little way further for some more fantastic views and reflections. Don't forget the camera.
Car Park at church and at village hall.
No shops, no toilets. Limited parking space elsewhere but lots of places to squeeze in for a little while.
North from Callander on the A84 for about 15 miles via Strathyre and Lochearnhead.Turn right and enjoy great scenery all ther way to St Fillans (about 4 m.).
Views up the Loch at St Fillans are fantastic.
Return by crossing the river on the right at the far end of St Fillans and return by south side of Loch Earn, look for the old gravestones by the road near Ardvorlich house

"Let us go, lassie, go Robert Tannahill Poet and songwriter. Loch Earn Sunrise |
A photograph by David Robertson |
Lochside parking, Watersports centre, Collectibles shop, Pubs, toilets.
Drive up the A84 for about three miles from Callander past Kilmahog. A Loch comes into view on the left.
Keep going until you see a picnic area with a signpost on the left. Pull in here and look at the view over the loch whilst the kids play by the water at the little beach.
On your way back, lookout for the Leny Falls carpark on your left, the Falls of Leny are well worth while if the river is running high.
Carparks. Occasional snackbar. No toilets!
Balloch, at the southern end of Loch Lomond has been touted as the gateway to the National Park - some may dispute this!
The thing to see at Balloch is the Gateway centre, not for the centre itself, but for the excellent view up the loch and for the view of the 'Maid of the Loch' as she awaits re-furbishment as a floating restaurant.
Cream teas at Jenners store are a treat with views up the loch from the restaurant.
Carparks, pubs, snacks. Toilets - but you have to look for them!
Used as the set for 'Tak the High Road' series, Luss has its own unique charm but the best thing about Luss for the photographer is the view across the loch to Ben Lomond - if it's not covered in cloud.
Best views are from the pier or beach. Don't take your car into the village - there's no space to park. Use the carpark accessed from the road before you turn down the village street.
Also worth while to take the path to the right by the pier which leads to Luss's interesting old parish church.
Carparks, pubs, snacks. Toilets
About 11 miles north of Luss is the car park and information centre at Inveruglas. Great views across the loch to Ben Lomond and Inversnaid on the eastern shore.
The only thing which mars the scenery here is the huge pipe bringing the water down to the power station from Loch Sloy high in the hills behind the power station.
There's a ruined castle among the trees on the little island but without a boat it's inaccessible.
You can also catch an occasional ferry here across to Inversnaid with its hotel on the West Highland Way. Beware - there is no public transport from Inversnaid - you have been warned!.
Carpark, Toilets, Tourist information.
Rowardennan is a natural tourist trap but is accessed by a narrow road from Drymen and is a little short of parking space especially in peak season. For all that, it's well worth a visit for the loch views and for the scatter of tiny islands just off shore.
Best carpark for views at the lochside just south of the pier. There is a lovely tree fringed beach with fine sand close to the pier in the photo (left).
Rowardennan is also the most popular starting point for those wishing to conquer Ben Lomond.
Loch Lomond Ferry Service - 01360 870273.
Rowardennan to Inverbeg 10.00 am, 2.00 pm, & 5.30 pm.
Inverbeg to Rowardennan 10.30 am, 2.30 pm, & 6.00 pm all daily April to September.
The Trossachs - the place to be! Callander - the place to be in The Trossachs.
