If we have a purpose, it is to take live electronic music performance to a new standard -- and to tap into the "soul of the machines".
Electronic instruments emerged from their creator's laboratories with a reputation as being a world of new sound colors but soulless and sterile in performance. Yet, all musical instruments begin as machines. The organ, piano, harpsichord, even the violin, are simply machines. And when they first appeared on the historical horizon, they had quite limited range of expressive possibilities. However, over the decades artists and artisans engaged each instrument, with its inherent limitations, and explored what was possible. Over the centuries the instruments, the art of playing, the artists, and even the listening evolved. Until today where we have huge expanses of music, and the instruments upon which it is played, to which we listen and find meaning and expression. This is the window through which we see our musical world. We choose to explore the expressive capabilities of actual performance, the subtleties of ensemble playing, the nuance of a phrase, the delicacy of the softest diminuendo. Often we are asked why we play classical music on our instruments. The real reason is simple -- it is a music that we love, that is a part of our lives and histories. Our instruments are indeed new. Yet, it should be noted that most classical music is not played on instruments for which they were written. The instruments of the classical orchestra did not fully come to their present development until the late 19th century (and several instruments well into the 20th century) have been reconstructed for modern standards of playing and sound. In our case we begin with stream of electrons as our sound source. Once these electrical impulses are transformed by our instruments and routed through speakers they are returned to the acoustical world and flow through the air just would the sound of a violin. It also should be noted that our performances are done in real time without the use of any computer sequencing. We are in a new and exciting, albeit transitional, period of music. The arts and cultures from the entire world are coming together, mixing and being filtered by contemporary technologies to offer a rich new tonal, harmonic, and rhythmic palettes. Yet throughout, there is a continuity of our own historical perspective -- the idea that certain musical universals remain constant. Ultimately, beyond sounds we explore, we consider something even deeper and grandeur. The actual sounds of our music are the outer coverings of deeper expressions, of the feelings, emotions, states of experience, and yearnings which exist but are of an ineffable realm. Music is the voice to that invisible domain. The instruments we play, the sounds we explore, whether it be acoustic or electronic are our vehicles to discover and to share with our audiences what we have found. ON IMPROVISATION The majority of music in the world begins as improvisation. Like all world music the Western classical tradition came out of similar improvisatory roots. Through the centuries the classical Western tradition adopted strict rules of notation. Notation permitted Western music to develop the titanic symphonic structures and rich harmonic soundscapes that make up today's classical style and repertoire. Without this form of written codification it would be impossible to organize the hundred players of a symphony orchestra to create a music that would have any meaning. However... perhaps something was lost in this development. The creative aspect of individual musicians coming together and creating music at the moment, finding a natural sense of cooperation, fun, dynamism and inspiration, has an exciting in special quality of its own. Electric Diamond brings back the tradition of improvisation to classical music. |

Concierge.com's insider take:
In 2010, chef Michael Mina moved his namesake restaurant from the St. Francis hotel to the Financial District space formerly occupied by Aqua, the eatery where Mina first made his name. He completely reinvented the menu, and the space. Gone are the twice-draped linens, fancy crystal, and hotel-plate silver. In their place is a Japanese aesthetic with exposed walnut tables and just a few massive sprays of tree branches arcing to the ceiling of the cavernous dining room. Mina still incorporates luxury ingredients, though, such as foie gras, lobster, and caviar, but there's more playfulness on the new à la carte menu. Cauliflower soup comes with tiny grilled-cheese-sandwich triangles and his signature lobster potpie is now served deconstructed and spiced with aromatic cardamom and bits of persimmon that enhance the meat's savory-sweet richness. The bar is swank spot for a drink and a crab BLT or foie gras PB&J.—John A. Vlahides

As various deadlines for semester in the Spring abroad approach and I scramble to stay ahead of the game, I am overwhelmed with excitement about the opportunity that awaits me.
However, I can't help but worry about the country that I hope to visit, study, and travel in as they experience many of the same burdens that other countries in the EU worry about. In fact, such problems in their market have lead to their prime minister, Berlusconi, to step down.
This means that I will be entering a country amidst an upheaval, a change in its government. Will this affect me? Or the University that I will be attending? Possibly. I can only stay informed and hope that nothing drastic happens.

'The Hangover Part III' offers laughs and oddity
Published on -5/30/2013, 10:28 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
When I say "The Hangover Part III" is interesting, I, of course, mean the film made me think about some interesting comparisons and ideas that were in no way intentional.
Stick with me on this one. "The Hangover Part III" has some striking similarities to "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
I am a devout fan of the Harry Potter novels and was among the individuals who purchased the final book on the day it was released. Like many, I found the ending of the story to be satisfactory and somewhat unsatisfying. The reason the final book felt strange to many people, in my opinion, is because it broke the well-established mold it had built during the course of the previous six novels. The final book didn't feel right because little of it takes place at Hogwarts.
Similarly, "The Hangover Part III" breaks the mold of the previous two "Hangover" films, and it makes it feel odd. The raucous, and frequently obscene, humor of the franchise is present in spades.
There are laughs to be had, but when a mold or tradition needs to be broken, it is best to shatter it or replace it completely.
Again, speaking from experience, I simply could not eat the green ketchup that surfaced years ago -- small changes weird people out.

Mouse Mats
The old saying goes that heavy PC users should always spend their money on the parts of the computer with which they interact, i.e. the monitor, keyboard and mouse. This is where they will really feel the benefit of their investment. As far as the mouse goes, even cheap mice usually have a reasonable air of quality about them, but what about the surface they're used on?
Modern optical mice sensors allow them to be reliably used on almost any surface, so the temptation is to do exactly that! Most mice work fine on a table or desk, but the slight extra drag can become subliminally tiresome after a short while. And that's before you even consider the wear and tear which will soon show on the desk surface!
Bring new life to your everyday computing experience with a mouse mat that was designed for the job. It may seem crazy to spend more on a mouse mat than on a mouse, but think about it for a second - every time you move that mouse, you'll enjoy the experience. A washable mouse mat will outlive several generations of mice. For years to come. Once you've tried a mouse mat from Japanese specialist Artisan, you'll never want to be without one!

About the Judges
Christine Scheer has been a graphic design and photography professional for over 20 years. After graduating from Michigan State University, she assisted in the development of the first touch-screen graphics for outdoor kiosks and educational learning software for the American Hotel and Motel Association. Later, Christine launched a full-service advertising agency in Michigan and enjoyed producing corporate identity and graphics for a variety of private and non-profit organizations. In Tucson, she worked as videographer for the local Fox affiliate and as art director for a women's apparel company. In the fashion industry, she was art director for product photo shoots, performed film selection, digital color correction and photographic reproduction for use in national catalogs.
Christine currently works here at the University of Arizona as a creative services manager assisting the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences in the production of magazines, photography, content-managed websites and multimedia.
Mia Schnaible has loved photography ever since she borrowed her father's camera during a family vacation. Photography has led her to travel to 49 out of the 50 states to capture the sights. Mia loved landscape photography and couldn't imagine doing any other kind of photography. Until. . . her friends started getting married. After photographing her first wedding, Mia was hooked! She has studied with Denis Reggie, who coined the phrase, "wedding photojournalism", and now she can't get enough of people, places and things!
Mia's beautiful landscapes have captured first and third place several times in both The University of Arizona's On Our Own Time exhibition and the College of Engineering's art shows. She was very excited when her photo of a server at Pat's Drive-In won 4th place in the Tucson Newspaper's "Tucson Oregionality" contest.
Mia has had the great honor of photographing Linda Ronstadt singing at the Nelson Riddle Tribute Contest and Ben Vereen opening the Stevie Eller Dance Building. She has also had the pleasure of photographing astronauts John Young and Harrison "Jack" Schmitt for a space gallery.
Her work has appeared in The Arizona Daily Star, Tucson Citizen, Tucson Weekly, Downtown Tucsonan, Tucson Lifestyle, and The University of Arizona Visitor Guide. She has also appeared in various SBS, School of Music, and UA publications and websites. Mia is the principle photographer for the Arizona International Film Festival.
Robert Walker is retired from the UA where he was the Photo Services Center Manager for many years.

With Budget Deal, Paul Ryan's Star Shines
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Stocks of defense contractors Boeing (BA), Lockheed Martin (LMT), Raytheon (RTN), Northrop Grumman (NOC) and General Dynamic (GD) received a boost from the budget deal that Congress just passed. But Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) stock has risen even more.
By crafting a two-year budget package with Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), chairwoman of the Senate Budget Committee, Ryan, chairman of the Houst Budget Committee, has helped remove the issue that most harms the Republican Party: a government shutdown. It's much less likely now that the government will shut down overr budget matters, which should guarantee that the Affordable Care Act will remain the political focus in 2014, the year of midterm elections.
Thanks to ObamaCare, the government shutdown in October is all but forgotten. Democrats up for election in November 2014 need another government shutdown, courtesy of the Tea Party. But that is unlikely with the budget deal law for the next two years.
When the budget accord expires, the presidential election campaign for 2016 will be under way. Ryan, the vice presidential nomines in 2012, will be in a position of strength if the Republican Party does well in the midterm elections. Should the Republicans take back the Senate, the budget deal will receive a lot of credit. That will elevate Ryan's role as a leader of the party and a statesman in matters of national affairs, one who can reach across the aisle to work with the opposing party. Voters will like that in 2016.
Because of ObamaCare, the divisiveness in Washington will likely get worse. That will make the budget deal even more of an achievement for Ryan. It will appeal to voters looking for someone who can work with others in Congress to get things done. Both the Senate and the House passed the Ryan-Murray budget accord with overwhelming support, a sign that the voters want to see bipartisan action on important matters. The Senate hadn't passed a budget since 2009, and now Ryan can take credit for moving a deal through Congress quickly, the most impressive accomplishment of any Republican member of Congress in recent times. At the time of publication, the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

A final list of the nominees and winners from AIAS' 11th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards has been released, and of the five shortlisted games in the Massively Multiplayer Game of the Year category, it is the WoW expansion in particular, The Burning Crusade, that took the top honor (as Mike Schramm predicted when the nominations were first announced). Blizzard executives also gave speeches on the strategies behind their success -- unrelated to the award -- at the D.I.C.E. Summit, where the awards took place.
There were four other MMOs that deserve a mention for being nominated, and these are a mix of new titles and expansions. In no particular order, they are: EVE Online: Trinity, Guild Wars: Eye of the North, The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, and Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa. The Overall Game of the Year went to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and you can check out a discussion of this, and some of the other AIAS' gaming awards outside of the MMO focus, at Joystiq.

I hope everyone is having a nice holiday. Here's what my Christmas looked like when we gathered all the wrapping paper in a huge pile and set the baby rabbits loose to play. Distributing pictures of bunnies frolicking in holiday paper is a fairly good method of contributing more joy to the world, I would say. I only hope Butler's mascot Blue II had as good time as my pet rabbits Beezus and Ramona this holiday.
The entire family gathered around and took pictures and pictures of the rabbits. Of course, I did not want to use my flash, and the bunnies kept jumping around, so out of the 244 pictures I took, I kept 33. Those thirty-three? Soooo cute.
Nadolig Llawen and Joyuex Noël and Frohe Weihnachten and Maligayang Pasko and so on… Happy holidays!

Gwinnett Daily Post
Gwinnett County Public Schools officials say they applaud 19 educators who recently became Georgia Master Teachers.
"We celebrate this accomplishment with these 'master teachers,'" said Steve Flynt, the associate superintendent for school leadership and operational support. "While we know that Gwinnett is home to some of the finest teachers in the profession, these teachers have earned additional recognition for their dedication to developing their professional skills. Their determination and passion is one reason why Gwinnett students continue to succeed."
Every year, Georgia recognizes its best teachers, and those professionals receive a Master Teacher designation on their certificates, identifying them as educators who have positively influenced student achievement in the classroom.
Educators built and tested the Georgia Master Teachers program. To earn the certificate, teachers must have at least three years of experience in the classroom on a Georgia Clear Renewable Certificate and evidence that links classroom instruction to their students' achievement and progress.
Georgia Master Teachers help build better schools by mentoring new teachers and coaching peers. They also gather annually to share knowledge, skills and best practices, and the educators are frequently invited to serve in local, state, regional and national education groups as the voice of Georgia educators and as influential professionals in their communities.
The 2010 Master Teachers from Gwinnett are:
* Teresa Allen Bitterman -- Osborne Middle
* Lori H. Bowen -- Mill Creek High
* Patricia Ferguson Burgess -- Pinckneyville Middle
* Carolyn Sutton Cremer -- Duluth Middle
* Dana L. Griffith -- Berkmar Middle
* Angela Guthrie -- Mason Elementary
* Helon L. Hogan -- Duluth Middle
* Sally A. Hollyfield -- Cedar Hill Elementary
* Suzanne Dillard Hood -- Harbins Elementary
* Susan Elyse Hyzer -- Burnette Elementary
* Linda Holloway LaPerre -- Trickum Middle
* Christine Ann Loughman -- Berkmar Middle
* Jessica Marshall -- Puckett's Mill Elementary
* James William Mozley -- Duluth Middle
* Janice Willis Parker -- Crews Middle
* Shannon Sesco Penick -- Osborne Middle
* Kelly Ann Sloan -- Osborne Middle
* Rori Smith -- North Gwinnett Middle
* Marian Joiner Stalvey -- Osborne Middle
Heather Darenberg writes about education. Good News From Schools appears in the Sunday edition of the Gwinnett Daily Post.

I'd like to say from the onset that I am a fan of both these series, having seen Code Geass from beginning to end, and Guilty Crown from it's start up until episode 11, which is the current episode as far as I can tell. If I had to pick one over the other, I'd take Code Geass since it has a higher level of action and more interesting story than Guilty Crown, which I am starting to have some minor issues with.
With that said, I am reading a whole bunch of negative comments on this board about Guilty Crown. One of the predominate complaints is that the lead character is too much of a pussy, and I certainly agree. I have a feeling though, this was done primarily to give Shu a chance to develop from a shy teenager into a leader and a man. I got the impression early on in the series he was being groomed by Gia to take over the leadership position in Undertaker, since Gia has the virus and is slowly dieing from it. The last episode is just that for Gia, now we see if Shu has what it takes to rebuild Undertaker and rescue Inori. My complaint however, goes slightly beyond that of others, that is if Shu is such a pussy, why is it that once he gets a void in his hands, he suddenly becomes a ultra brave war machine, happily attacking the people he was so concerned about hurting before he got the void in his hands? One of my friends on this board, Takashichea, who is the top editor on Anime Vice, answered part of the question for me, telling me having a void in Shu's hands was like taking a "bravery pill", but this only answers half the question. I can only guess the other half has to do with the activation of the Kings Power, having no concern for the health and well being of his enemies.
Takashichea also pointed out to me that many of the people on this board who don't like Guilty Crown do so because it seams like a rip off of Code Geass. In reality, while both share a laundry list of similar plot elements, both tell a different story, and there leading characters are almost polar opposites. And if anyone reading this thinks for a second Code Geass is such an original, I can point to at least a dozen animes that came before it that had a similar story and plot elements. Like I said before, we hardy get to see anything truly original these days. Coping stories and plots seams to be a constant in the world of anime.
If your a fan of either of these series, I'd like to get your impression of what I just said, and if I missed the mark, let me know just how.
Also, I am continuing my reviews of older animes that have no review on Anime Vice with the movie M.D. Geist and the series DNA Squared. I also did a comprehensive summery and review of Guilty Crown, episode 10. Please check them out and leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you.

The Billboard Quilt-Along is open to anyone who wants to participate and has no set start or finish date. I've compiled a list of posts here.
Most of my quilt back is the same background fabric I used on the top. The only color comes from 5 skinny strips of scraps, one each in the colors I used to make the letters on the quilt top.
Since most fabric is 44" or less in width, making a quilt back like this, where strips of scraps are placed between larger panels of fabric, is a great way to hide what might otherwise be unsightly seams.
You can make your quilt back as simple or elaborate as you like. I'll just suggest again that you stick with medium weight quilting cotton, as it will be most compatible with the letter appliqués on the front of the quilt.
Now that you know the size of your quilt top, use that number to calculate the size of your batting and your quilt back. Just like a commercial break on Love Connection, the thing to remember is "2 and 2." If you follow the formula below, you'll be able to line up the layers of your quilt sandwich perfectly, simply by making sure that there is 2" of batting and 2" of backing showing on each of the four sides of the quilt top.
1. Start with the size of your finished quilt top. Mine is 79" x 90".
2. Add 4" (2" + 2") to the height and width to determine how big your batting should be. Mine will be 83" x 94". (79" + 4" = 83" and 90" + 4" = 94".)
3. Add 4" to the height and width of your batting size to determine how big your quilt back should be. Mine will be 87" x 98" (83" + 4" = 87" and 94" + 4" = 98")
Make a rough sketch or two to determine how you want your quilt back to look. Once you know what you want to do, use a dotted line to draw the shape of your quilt top to scale on a sheet of graph paper.
Make a drawing of your quilt back within the dotted lines.
Use a solid line to add 4" to each side of your sketch. The solid line represents the true exterior dimensions of your quilt back. The dotted line represents what your quilt back will look like once the extra fabric has been trimmed away.
Adjust your sketch so that all of the seams continue across the entire quilt back. Once you've determined the final layout, mark the finished (no seam allowances) size of all of the pieces, including the finished dimensions of your quilt back. Do not include the dotted line in any of your calculations. It's only there so you can see what the finished quilt back will look like.
Make a list of every piece you'll need to make your quilt back, adding a quarter inch seam allowance to each piece. As you did for your quilt top, determine how much fabric you'll need to cut each of these pieces.
My list looked like this:
- 5 Scrap-Pieced Strips (1 each citrine, olive, teal, orange, and dark orange), each 2.5" x 98.5"
- 4 Sashing Strips, each 1.5" x 98.5"
- Left Panel, 44" x 79.5"
- Right Panel, 29 x 98.5"
For the scrap-pieced strips, I used pieces left over from making my letters, so I didn't need to buy any additional fabric for those.
Here's how I decided to cut my background fabric:
- My background fabric is 44" wide, so the left panel was simply a 98.5" piece of the background fabric.
- The right panel and the sashing strips are all 98.5" long. I added their widths together (29" + 1.5" + 1.5" + 1.5" + 1.5" = 35") and determined that, since the total was less than the 44" width of the fabric, I could cut all of the pieces from 98.5" of fabric.
Knowing that I needed 2 lengths of fabric 98.5" long (197" total) I determined that I would need at least 5.47 yards of fabric (197"/36 = 5.47). I rounded up to 5.75 yards to be safe.
- Make a scale drawing of your quilt back
- Make a list of the fabric pieces you'll need
- Make a plan for cutting the fabric pieces
- Calculate how much batting you'll need*

Dear October, can you pretty please slow down? Well I think this whole 31 day challenge is making the month just fly by! I have been blessed reading through all the quotes and different things suggested for these freebies a few days ago.
This quote makes me think of the handful of dreams I've had with Jenna in them. Often she visits me but the dream slips much too quickly before I even realize she was right there. And the details are always so hazy when I wake up.
Do you dream about your baby(ies)? Or have you?

Alvernia University honored for community service
Date: 3/19/2012Alvernia University has been named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, with Distinction, by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and the U.S. Department of Education. The national award recognizes a commitment to bettering their communities through community service and service learning. Alvernia was one of only eight Pennsylvania schools to receive the 'Distinction' honor.
"Through service, these institutions are creating the next generation of leaders by challenging students to tackle tough issues and create positive impacts in the community," said Robert Velasco, Acting CEO of CNCS. "We applaud the Honor Roll schools, their faculty and students for their commitment to make service a priority in and out of the classroom. Together, service and learning increase civic engagement while fostering social innovation among students, empowering them to solve challenges within their communities."
The President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll recognizes higher education institutions that reflect the values of exemplary community service and achieve meaningful outcomes in their communities. The initiative celebrates the transformative power and volunteer spirit that exists within the higher education community.
Established in 2006, Alvernia's Holleran Center for Community Engagement identifies, cultivates and sustains strategic partnerships to strengthen both campus and community life. By making these community partnerships an essential part of the curriculum, the Holleran Center strives to improve the quality of life in the community and to develop students into engaged citizens with a lifelong commitment to service.
"This award not only acknowledges the very high quality of our Service Learning Courses and special initiatives like Alvernia READS and the South Reading Youth Initiative, but also the work done by Alvernia University students, faculty and staff in service to our community," said Jay Worrall, director of the Holleran Center. "We at the Holleran Center could not be more pleased that Alvernia should receive such a high honor, which speaks so clearly to this University's commitment to service and community engagement."
"Preparing students to participate in our democracy and providing them with opportunities to take on local and global issues in their course work are as central to the mission of education as boosting college completion and closing the achievement gap," said Eduardo Ochoa, the U.S. Department of Education's assistant secretary for postsecondary education. "Galvanizing their students to become involved in projects that address pressing concerns and enrich their academic experience has a lasting impact — both in the communities in which they work and on their own sense of purpose as citizens of the world."
The Corporation for National and Community Service is a federal agency that engages more than five million Americans in service through its Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America programs. It oversees the Honor Roll in collaboration with the U.S. Departments of Education and Housing and Urban Development, Campus Compact, and the American Council on Education. Honorees are chosen based on a series of selection factors, including the scope and innovation of service projects, the extent to which service-learning is embedded in the curriculum, the school's commitment to long-term campus-community partnerships, and measurable community outcomes as a result of the service.
- History: Established as a private four-year liberal arts college in 1958, Alvernia celebrated its 50th year by being awarded university status in 2008.
- Heritage: Founded by the Bernardine Sisters, a Catholic religious order, the university embraces the Franciscan core values of service, humility, collegiality, contemplation and peacemaking.
- Motto: "To Learn, To Love, To Serve"
- Campus: The main campus in Reading is 121 acres, with two satellite campuses in Philadelphia and Pottsville (Schuylkill County).
- Location: Our residential campus is situated three miles from center-city Reading, in the scenic Blue Mountain area of Eastern Pennsylvania.
- Enrollment: 3,000 students attend Alvernia including 1,500 traditional undergraduates, 600 continuing education students, and 780 graduate students. Over 77% of first-year students live on campus.
- Faculty: Our professors are accomplished scholars, experts in their fields, and supportive mentors. The student-to-faculty ratio is 14:1. Most classes are 20 students or fewer.
- Athletics: NCAA Division III, member of the Commonwealth Conference of the Middle Atlantic States Athletic Corporation and member of Eastern College Athletic Conference, 8 men's and 10 women's intercollegiate sports.

) was born Abt. 1730 in Norfolk County, Virginia, and died October 08, 1781 in Killed In Battle, Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia. He married

John Carney
Notes for
John Anderson
John was born about 1730, and died Sept 1780 in the Battle of Augusta. He married Sarah Carney 28 Nov 1752 in Overwharton Parish, Stafford County, Virginia. She was born about 1739, and died 1811 in Kentucky. John served in the Revolutionary War, and was killed and buried in Camden, South Carolina. John's son wrote in his Bible that John Anderson was killed by American Tories at the 1st seige of Augusta 10-18 Sep 1780.
Another researcher states that this John Anderson did not die in Camden, South Carolina in 1781 at the Battle of Augusta. She asserts that John's file was combined with those of a different father and son John Anderson Sr and Jr of North Carolina.
DAR Application of Mrs. Dena Henslee Singleton, Nat'l #526822 shows that DAR had corrected to show that her ancestor John Anderson who married Sarah Carney was born 13 Jan 1724 in New York. Another researcher wrote the Lineage Research Committee of NSDAR in Washington D.C., regarding this entry, explaining the controversy over John's birthdate, etc. On 15 Aug 1979, they sent a letter stating - "The birthdate written in on National No. 526822 Is completely incorrect. That is the birthdate for John Anderson, son of Rev. James Anderson, but this man is not your Revolutionary ancestor. This man was married to Ann Irvin, from your records we know that your ancestor John Anderson was married to Sarah Carney. A date of circa 1730 has been given to your Revolutionary ancestor since we have no specific date for his birth."
To show otherwise, there are three other biographies that do not agree with the DAR:
John Anderson and Sarah Carney were married in Overwharton Parish, Stafford County, Virginia, 28 Nov 1752, where their three oldest children, Bailey (13 Nov 1753), Scarlet (10 Jun 1756) and Sela (1 Mar 1758) were born. During the Revolutionary War, this family was also in North Carolina, most likely on the Pacolet River where their sixth child, John, was born.
Sarah Anderson, widow, resided in Greenville County, South Carolina, in 1790 with one male sixteen of over, three under 16 and one other female. The following certificates, quoted verbatim, concern this family:

Human telomere maintenance is essential for the protection of chromosome ends, and changes in telomere length have been implicated in ageing and cancer. Human telomere length is regulated by the TTAGGG-repeat-binding protein TRF1 and its interacting partners tankyrase 1, TIN2 and PINX1 (refs 5-9). As the TRF1 complex binds to the duplex DNA of the telomere, it is unclear how it can affect telomerase, which acts on the single-stranded 3' telomeric overhang. Here we show that the TRF1 complex interacts with a single-stranded telomeric DNA-binding protein--protection of telomeres 1 (POT1)--and that human POT1 controls telomerase-mediated telomere elongation. The presence of POT1 on telomeres was diminished when the amount of single-stranded DNA was reduced. Furthermore, POT1 binding was regulated by the TRF1 complex in response to telomere length. A mutant form of POT1 lacking the DNA-binding domain abrogated TRF1-mediated control of telomere length, and induced rapid and extensive telomere elongation. We propose that the interaction between the TRF1 complex and POT1 affects the loading of POT1 on the single-stranded telomeric DNA, thus transmitting information about telomere length to the telomere terminus, where telomerase is regulated.

DxOMark test results show better image quality among newest low-end DSLRs
By Mason Resnick
March 9, 2010
Lab test results just published by independent test lab DxOMark.com (and used with their permission) clearly show that, when it comes to image quality, the Pentax K-x offers a noticeably better performance than the K7. How could this be?DxOMark measures sensor quality by anylizing RAW image data based on thousands of images shot under both lab and "real life" conditions. The results are distilled into quantitative numerical representations—the better to compare results. The major points of comparison are color depth, dynamic range, and the ability to capture images in low light in high ISO settings with minimal noise. DxOMark also measures the camera's actual ISO sensitivity, which is often not quite in line with the indicated ones. For instance, ISO 100 might be measured as ISO 125.With that in mind, take a gander at this (then read my translation and interpretation of the data below):
For the K-x, the top recommended low-light ISO where digital noise artifacts are well enough controlled to produce an acceptable RAW image is 800 (actually, 811). The K7 will only produce good enough images up to ISO 500 (536). That's a 2/3 stop advantage for the K-x.The K-x also offers a whopping two extra stops of dynamic range—12.5 stops versus the K7's 10.6. Color depth and ISO sensitivity are a dead heat between the two cameras, but the overall DxOMark Sensor rating is 71.9 for the K-x—relatively high for an APS camera, while the K-7 turned in a below-average rating of 61. To put it in perspective, the only other APS camera that has scored that high is the Nikon D5000—another entry-level camera! Interestingly, both the K-x and the D5000 have 12MP sensors, while the K7 has a 14MP sensor. Among all tested APS-sensor cameras, only the 12MP Nikon D90 scored a half-point higher. So, the top three APS sensor DSLRs, for image quality are (in order):1. Nikon D902. Nikon D50003. Pentax K-xNotice that there are no prosumer or flagship cameras in this short list! The Nikon D300s has a 12MP sensor and is #4, pulling an impressive 69.8, but the 18MP Canon 7D is in the middle of the pack with a 65.8 (although to its credit, its low-light ISO rating is over 800).What does this mean? Well, if you're going to shoot with an APS DSLR and quality is the only thing that matters to you, don't be dazzled by those impressive 14, 16 or 18-MP resolutions. You can make poster-sized prints from 12MP files, so all those extra pixels are not really necessary and as the test results are showing, may actually limit your camera's ability to capture a wide range of tones, especially in low light, when shooting RAW.
Pixel Peeping Put in Perspective
Of course, pixel-peeping shouldn't be the only basis for buying a camera. the K-x isn't waterproof like the K7, for instance, and that could tip you towards the more pricey model. Along with ruggedness, capture rate, AF responsiveness and so many other factors, these image quality tests are just one important factor to think about when pondering a new camera purchase.

Mussina used a fastball, changeup, and slider (his best pitch) to keep batters off balance. His slider was so good that it dove in one left-handers and he actually held LHB's to a lower batting average and power numbers than RHB's during his career. Mussina was also an excellent fielder, earning seven Gold Glove Awards. He rounded out his game by being one of the toughest pitchers to run against, utilizing a quick move to first base.
Pitching for good teams, Mussina racked up very good win percentages, only once having a losing season after his initial rookie campaign. After inking a free agent deal with the Yankees in 2001, Mussina posted a 123-72 (.631) record, which was actually slightly worse than his mark with the O's (147-81, .645). With the Orioles, the righty was a workhorse, completing 45 games and tossing at least 200 innings seven times. In New York, Mussina threw only 12 complete games in eight seasons and became more of a 6-7 inning pitcher.
Mussina was one of the best pitchers in the league year after year and he had nasty stuff. On May 30, 1997, with the Orioles, Mussina retired the first 25 batters in a game against the Indians before allowing a single. He finished with a one-hitter. The next season on August 4, 1998, he set down the first 23 Detroit batters he faced before allowing a hit. On September 2, 2001, Mussina retired 26 consecutive Red Sox batters to start the game, before Carl Everett singled to center to break up the perfect game bid. Mussina again finished with a one-hitter, this time with 13 strikeouts. Despite these close calls, Mussina never pitched a perfect game or a no-hitter in his career.
In nine post-seasons, Mussina had mixed success. In the 1997 American League Championship Series he baffled the Cleveland Indians in his two starts, allowing just four hits and one run in 15 innings. However, he did not receive a decision in either game and the Orioles lost the series. He lost two games to the Boston Red Sox in the 2003 ALCS before turning it around to win his only start against Florida in the World Series. After a 4-1 record with a 2.28 ERA in his first eight post-season starts, Mussina went 3-7 with a 4.18 ERA in his last 15 post-season appearances (two in relief).

Construction on a $30 million expansion at the natural gas-powered Goodman Energy Center could start next year if Midwest Energy receives regulatory approval.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment announced and started taking comments Thursday on the proposed construction at the existing plant, originally designed to cover peak demands during the hottest part of the summer.
Three additional Wartsila natural-gas generators would be installed after the north side of the Goodman center is expanded.
Currently, nine natural gas-powered engines sit in the building northwest of Hays, each one capable of producing 11,500 horsepower -- about as much as two locomotive engines. Each one weighs approximately 150 tons.
Comments on the proposal, required under rules governing the issuance of air quality construction permits, will be taken until noon Sept. 2. And they have to be submitted in writing.
A public hearing on the air quality construction permit is planned for Sept. 9, but only if a "pertinent request is received," according to the KDHE notice.
The request must be made in writing or faxed to KDHE's Gerald McIntyre at (785) 291-3953. If no request is made, the public hearing will be canceled.
Midwest Energy designed the Goodman Energy Center, put into service in 2008, with an eye toward expansion.
But it's going to take adding on to the metal building and running natural gas lines to supply the engines, said Midwest Energy spokesman Mike Morley
That work as well as the cost of the engines from Wartsila, based in Finland, will put the total cost at about $30 million -- depending in part on the exchange rate between the Euro and the dollar.
Morley wasn't immediately able to say what the added cost will mean for consumers, but he said it should be "negligible."
Each of the three engines to be installed will add another 9.2 megawatts of electricity to the 76 megawatts already installed.
The original cost of the center was about $60 million.
Adding on has been under consideration for some time now, in part because of growing demand for more electricity by Midwest customers, but also from the Southwest Power Pool, a Little Rock, Ark., based regulator.
"SPP has the ability to ramp up Goodman as needed," Morley said. "They have controls, remote controls."
He said SPP has been running the plant nearly every day since March 1, when a new set of rules came into place to let them switch the plant on.

Tel: 39 0578 748 606
Concierge.com's insider take:
In the historic center of Pienza, this family-run trattoria has a pleasant, simple dining room and an outdoor terrace shaded by market umbrellas in summer. Of course, at lunchtime it's full of tourists, but there's no arguing with the quality of the typical dishes served here: tagliatelle with truffles, local bread soup with vegetables, duck with black olives, and the real party piece, maialino da latte (roast suckling pig). Finish your meal with the restaurant's homemade semifreddo—a sort of frozen custard that comes in various versions, including orange (arancia) and hazelnut (nocciola).

Cook Time: 1 hr
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 2 whole(s) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slice(s) Deli ham, your favorite brand of deli ham
- 4 ounce(s) crumbled feta, reduced fat will work also
- 1/2 cup(s) ricotta, low fat and fat free work also
- 5 ounce(s) frozen chopped spinach, will have to use half of a 10 oz. box
- 1 whole(s) large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) black pepper
- 3 tablespoon(s) butter
- 1/4 cup(s) flour
- 3/4 cup(s) milk, skim will work also
- 3/4 cup(s) chicken broth
- cup(s) dry white wine
- 4 pinch(es) paprika
- Cut each whole breast in half. Pound with a meat mallet to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook spinach according to package directions. Squeeze out the liquid. (since spinach is usually sold in 10 oz. boxes, cook entire package and refreeze the other half for later use)
- Mix together feta, ricotta, cooked spinach, egg, andpepper in a bowl.
- Place 1/4 cup in the center of each pounded chicken breast half. Spread to about 1/2 inch of the edges of the chicken.
- Fold sides in to cover filling and tuck ends under to form a ''log''. Wrap each chicken ''log'' with a slice of deli ham. Place seam side down in a greased baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
- When baking is finished, let meat ''rest'' for 5 to 8 minutes. This allows the filling to set and makes slicing easier. Slice into 1/2 inch thick slices and ''fan out'' onto the platter. (can be served whole, also) Top with wine sauce and a sprinkle of paprika.
- Sauce: Melt 3 T. butter in a sauce pan. Remove from heat. Wisk in flour till smooth. Combine in a seperate container the milk, chicken broth, and the white wine. Wisk this mixture into the flour mix. Return to medium heat and cook and stir till thickened. Serve over chicken.
