Behringer has announced the release of a new, completely re-mastered XiControl iPad app for the X32 digital console.
It offers a re-skinned user interface, new feature set and several performance enhancements, including adding control over FX, scene management, input channel setup, monitor mixing and other enhancements.
A key new feature adds complete access to all eight onboard FX processors and allows deep tweaking of effects parameter settings; plus, all FX processors are presented with the same graphical GUI as seen on the X32.
Also, the brand new remote scenes manager allows fast scene changes on-the-fly thanks to a streamlined and intuitive interface. A new recorder control page provides full transport control over record and playback of tracks to/from a thumb drive connected to X32's top panel USB port.
The new and improved channel editing tab in XiControl Version 2.0 now incorporates a complete dynamics section, allowing the user to control the performance of the 32 Midas-designed preamps from anywhere in the venue.
P16 personal monitoring buses can also be controlled now from one or multiple iPads, allowing performers to create their own preferred monitor mix with ease, or allow the engineer to dial in mixes from the stage.
Setting up the XiControl app is simple; just connect the iPad to a wireless network and plug the X32 into the same network with a cable. There is no computer required.
XiControl is available as a free download from the Apple App Store here.

Re: Poll: 7x08 Cold War review and discussion
For most of this season I've been too disappointed to even bother saying so. I was sure that by this seasons end I'd probably be saying my good-buys to the Doctor for good but
Cold War
has renewed my faith.
Nice Warrior!
For me, what some people have said made CW boring/bad/etc. was what made it work. Just a simple Dr. Who story told in the classic style. The STORY was where the sparkle lie, not in the elaborate sets/special effects, hoards of aliens or cutesy choreography of the last episodes.

Rau re-enters psychiatric hospital
The woman at the centre of the Palmer inquiry into wrongful detention, Cornelia Rau, has been re-admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
A spokeswoman for Ms Rau's guardian, South Australia's public advocate John Harley, says she was readmitted to Glenside Hospital this week.
The 39-year-old held a news conference on Monday, indicating she would seek compensation from the Federal Government for her wrongful detention in Queensland and at the Baxter Detention Centre.
Ms Rau had been discharged from the psychiatric ward of the Royal Adelaide Hospital on Monday.
But on Tuesday night she was reported missing to police after returning late from a day trip.
She returned to her accommodation an hour later.

Also its not the yeast. Some people I have talked to said maybe I'm alergic to the specific yeast strain I'm using but I brew all my ales with the same type of yeast (wyeast 1056) and I never reuse the yeast if I suspect an infection or anything off in a beer. I figure its easier to just spend 6.99 for fresh yeast than risk any beer spoilers. So I know its not this.
Oh much did you drank to be sick like that?
Are you 100% sure you weight the salts properly?
Did you use brewers /food grade salts?
You dont need to add magnesium.. stick to the gypsum like most brewers do to bump sulfates.
Can you describe the off flavors?
My vote is the salts you added. If you are fine with the non treated beer you have brewed and the only change was the salts then I would have to imagine that is the smoking gun.
I can't describe it, but it overpowers all the malts and grains in flavor, yet it has no aroma. My IPAs smell great they just taste like this off flavor.
If our using pilsner malts a a base it can be dms that you are tasting. I believe its dimethly sulfide.

Job Fair: Ciara I. Torres
Each edition, Job Fair has profiled an area student who is either nearing graduation or has recently graduated and considering a business career in Marion County.
Published: Thursday, December 30, 2010 at 11:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 30, 2010 at 11:42 p.m.
Q: What brought you to Marion County and why would you like to stay and pursue a career here?
HOMETOWN: Vineland, N.J.
MAJOR: Business administration with a specialization in management
SCHOOLS: Received an Associate of Arts Degree in business administration from Cumberland County College; Pursuing a bachelor of arts degree in business administration with a concentration in management at Saint Leo University
ACHIEVEMENTS: Graduated from Vineland High School with a 4.3 GPA as a Summa Cum Laude graduate; Graduated from Cumberland County College with a 4.0 GPA; Member of Phi Theta Kappa Rho Gamma Chapter; Recipient of the Edward J. Bloustein Distinguished Scholars Award, NJ Stars, School Counts Scholarship, Novick Humanitarian Scholarship, and Cumberland Insurance Group Scholarship
E-MAIL: email@example.com
A: In the first week of March 2010, my family decided to visit some old friends who reside in Ocala. At the time, my family was living in New Jersey, and we have never ventured to any state outside of the Northeast. We landed in Orlando and we headed toward Ocala through a bus we chartered from an agency. Immediately, we fell in love with the city. To me, Ocala was a thriving city filled with so many opportunities, and a wonderful place for my family to call home. Also, the warm climate of Ocala was a huge motivator for my family to move to this area. After spending a little over a week in Ocala, my family went back to New Jersey. We soon placed our house on the market, and I applied online to enroll at Saint Leo University's Ocala Center. In June, my family embarked on a long road trip, and we were soon able to call Ocala our home.
Simply, I believe Ocala has a lot of potential to become a major area for business activity. First, Ocala is located in a great area. It is not that far from the major cities of Orlando and Tampa. Just by reading the newspaper, one can tell Ocala is making some significant strides. Recently, there was an article detailing how Benjamin Leon bought $8.5 million in land and plans to build 440 rental units. Also, I find the ideas presented in the Ocala 2035 Vision project to be very promising. I admire how hard the members of this project are working to incorporate the opinions of the locals into the long-term vision for the community. Also, I am glad the Ocala/Marion County Chamber of Commerce is taking the approach to build the entrepreneurial spirit within today's youth. In particular, I believe the Emerging Leaders of Ocala, Hispanic Business Council, and International Business Council hold the key to Ocala's future growth. With all of these wonderful opportunities and trends, it is obvious why I want to pursue a career in Ocala.
Q: What would be your dream job?
A: At this moment in time, my dream job would be to hold a management position at a company. Currently, I am researching a large variety of industries to determine what areas of business I am interested in. I want a position that utilizes all of my skills and revolves around creative thinking. Most definitely, I want the opportunity to create an empowering and safe work environment for the associates I will manage.
Later in my career, I would want the opportunity to become a CPA, CMA, or a forensic accountant. Also, one day I want to own and manage my own firm.
Q: What do you think is your most marketable skill?
A: My communication skills. I am the type of person who loves to learn about new cultures and languages. So far, I know how to communicate in English, Spanish, and I know basic sign language. Moreover, the unique experience I have had growing up with an autistic brother has taught me there is more than one way to communicate with people. He has taught me there are subtle forms of communication that often go unnoticed by most people. Additionally, people who have come to known me are aware of how much I enjoy giving oral presentations and writing. More importantly, I am aware that the most important part of the communication process is to master the art of listening.
Q: What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in your years of higher education?
A: The most important lesson I have learned so far is that there is more than one solution to every problem. Every class I have taken so far revolves around that one key lesson. Simply, there is more than one way to solve a math equation, there is more than one way to interpret a piece of literature, there are several interpretations of history, and there is more than one way to solve a business problem. This has taught me to examine different points of view for every problem I encounter.
Of what accomplishment are you most proud?
A: I am most proud of is the fact I was able to complete my associate's degree with a 4.0 grade-point average. This degree represents all of my hopes, dreams, and hard work. Essentially, this accomplishment ties my past, present, and future together. This degree would not be possible without the wealth of information I collected during my high school years. Then, this accomplishment ties to my present, for I would not be able to continue with my studies at Saint Leo without this particular degree. Next, my business degree serves as a key that opens up many doors leading to many wonderful opportunities. I am the first in my family to go to college, and it reminds me of how much my parents have sacrificed to help me achieve my dreams. There is no way I could have obtained this degree without the support my family gave me all of these years.
Q: If you could change one thing about Marion County's business community, what would it be?
A: Well, I believe the business community should look into diversifying the work force. It would be great if more multicultural organizations existed. Also, the business community should look into hiring more disabled workers. With the autism rate alone, it will become essential for companies to learn how to effectively manage a disabled employee. It is a topic the business community cannot avoid or ignore.
Q: You're a coin collector. What's the best story you have about a coin in your collection?
A: The best coin in my collection is the 1898 Barber Liberty Head quarter. It is not only the coin that began my collection, it has sentimental value because it was given to me by grandmother. She told me the coin originally belonged to my great-grandmother. My grandmother told me how this coin must has has been a witness to World War I, World War II, the Great Depression, and other amazing historical events. Every time I look at this coin, I imagine all the different types of people who could have come in contact with this coin, the services this coin purchased, and the fun stories my grandmother use to tell me. Even though this coin is old, it shines the brightest in my collection.

Francis (Frank) Heitler
Francis (Frank) Heitler
March 21, 1933-
March 6, 2014
Frank was born in New York City to Stephen and Helen Heitler. He was a graduate of
New York University
and played on their last football team. He taught for many years at Amundsen High in Chicago and also coached the football team. Frank was so beloved by his players that they continued to contact him long after he retired.
He bravely served his country as a first lieutenant in the Marine Corp.
Frank had a lifelong interest in magic and also had a magical relationship with his daughters, Valerie (Peter) Rottman, of Phoenix, Arizona, and Stephanie (Renato) Marmolino, of Spartanburg, S.C. He did everything with them, even teaching them to water ski by standing on the shore, pulling them with a rope.
He was very proud of his grandchildren, Andrea and Gabriella Marmolino of Spartanburg, and Katie and Patrick Rottman of Phoenix.
He was predeceased by his brothers Edward and George Heitler, and is survived by his brother Robert Heitler of New York.
A friendly, cheerful person, Frank was loved and admired by all who knew him. He achieved a great deal in his life but his greatest accomplishment was putting up with the bad puns of Joyce, his beloved wife of 51 years.
A funeral service will be held in the chapel at the First Presbyterian Church of Spartanburg, 393 E. Main Street, Spartanburg, S.C., on Saturday, March 8 at 11:00 a.m.

With student loan debt now totaling more than $1 trillion, current and would-be college students need access to financial aid information more than ever before. The good news is that universities across the country are doing their best to make the facts as clear and available as possible in the near future.
Ten schools – Arizona State, Miami Dade College, North Carolina A&T State University, Syracuse, UNC Chapel Hill, Vassar and the state university systems in Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and Texas – have committed to providing key funding information to all incoming students as part of their financial aid packages starting in the 2013-14 school year. The details will include the cost of one year of college, financial aid options such as grants and scholarships, estimated monthly payments after graduation on federal student loans and comparative data about graduation and loan repayment rates. According to the White House, this disclosure will play a vital role in making college more affordable for all students: "Too often, students and families face confusion when comparing financial aid packages, some of which do not clearly differentiate loans from grants, nor distinguish private vs. federal loans, making it difficult to compare aid offers side-by-side. Clarity and accessibility of information is necessary so that students and families can make informed decisions about where to attend college, so they can choose a school that is best suited to their financial and educational goals."
What do you think of this plan? Do you think it will help students better understand financial aid or is the effort too little and too late?

Any current or soon-to-be college student will tell you that gaining acceptance to the school of their choice is not an easy task. What if, however, you had to manage that stress along with AP classes, extracurricular activities, work and the general perils of being a teenager without a roof over your head and the support of your parents? If you're Dawn Loggins, you study hard, rely on the kindness of others and get accepted to Harvard.
In this great CNN piece, Loggins discusses how her less-than-fairytale upbringing (living in a home with no running water or electricity, having drug-addicted parents who abandoned her and dealing with ridicule from other students in her youth) made her the person she is today: a straight-A student who will attend Harvard University on a full scholarship. She credits her teachers and guidance counselors for sticking by her and providing her everything she needed – from candlelight to study by and clean clothing to a job and a place to call home – to succeed. And succeed she did: Loggins was accepted to all five schools to which she applied (UNC Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University, Davidson College, Warren Wilson College and, the ultimate dream school, Harvard) and is hoping to start a nonprofit organization to help other teens who've had obstacles in their educations.
Read the rest of this inspirational story here and join us in wishing Dawn the best of luck at Harvard and in all of her future endeavors!
Jessica Seals
Throughout my undergraduate career, I was lucky enough to be the recipient of scholarships and grants that helped cover my tuition and other fees. Thousands of other college students across the country also rely on this free money to pay for their education and we should all be taking note of the fact that many financial aid options that we have to help pay for college are being eliminated or being heavily restricted. For example, two years ago I was able to take summer classes and receive a Pell Grant because the government allowed students to receive it during the fall, spring and summer semesters. Now, students are only eligible to receive the grant two semesters out of the year which means that a student cannot put the funds toward summer classes if they've already applied them to the fall and spring semesters for that academic year.
Many people already decide not to enroll in college because they do not feel like they can afford it. Cutting down on the usage of the Pell Grant can force many students to skip summer classes and send them down a slippery slope, as more students will be forced to stay in school longer and accrue more debt from student loans. Classrooms will become emptier during summer sessions and colleges hard-pressed for funds could raise tuition to compensate. The problem will continue to spiral out of control and lead to more reasons why people opt out of attending college.
We all should become more aware of the decreases that are being made towards higher education spending. The changes affect all of us and if we can all become aware of them, we'll be able to take (and guide others along) the necessary route to make sure that paying for school is a lot less stressful.

Armed with degrees in their fields of choice, newly-minted college grads have the world at their fingertips...and, often, student loan payments lurking right around the corner. The job market isn't what it used to be so what's a recent grad to do to keep collectors at bay? A change of address may be in order.
Communities across the country are attempting to attract young professionals by offering incentives like paying down college loans and income tax waivers if they become full-time residents of specific cities or counties. Niagara Falls is putting an initial $200,000 behind the idea to, according to director of community development Seth Piccirillo, bring back the talent and brain power the city has lost over the last 50 years. (Here, graduates who have earned a two- or four-year degree or a graduate degree in the past two years can apply for up to $3,500 a year for two years towards repayment of their student loans.) Farther west in Kansas, 50 counties have established Rural Opportunity Zones (ROZs) authorized to offer the following financial incentives to new full-time residents: income tax waivers for up to five years and/or student loan repayments up to $15,000. To date, program manager Chris Harris has received 338 applications – 75 percent of which have qualified for one or both incentives.

Recently, 10 schools were banned from participating in the 2012-2013 NCAA men's basketball tournament for failure to meet academic standards: Arkansas - Pine Bluff, Cal State - Bakersfield, California - Riverside, Connecticut, Jacksonville State, Mississippi Valley State, UNC Wilmington, Texas A & M - Corpus Christi, Toledo and Towson.
The NCAA rates teams according to their Academic Progress Rate, in which a team is viewed as a whole and its performance in the classroom is evaluated. If a team's APR score falls to 925 or below and at least one player fails his classes and drops out of school, that school can lose scholarships. If the APR sinks down to 900, the penalties grow steeper and they increase each year that the team falls below par. Being declared ineligible for NCAA postseason play is a result of scoring 900 or below for three years. If the APR remains low for a fourth year, the entire athletic department is penalized. The school loses its Division 1 status and is reduced to "restricted membership status" in the NCAA.
Is this fair or too extreme? I'm not saying this just because my school – Jacksonville State – is on the naughty list, but I'm not sure that I completely agree with the NCAA's punishment. If a student-athlete fails to perform academically, he should lose his scholarship, be suspended from the team, etc. But the players who make good grades, the coaches, and the fans should not be punished for the underperformance of the few. College students are adults – it's up to each individual to study and work hard.
But what do YOU think? Is the NCAA spot-on with its academic standards and penalties, or does something need to change?

In the epic battle between quality versus quantity, it's the former that usually prevails but Arne Duncan has a slightly different proposal for soon-to-be college students: increase the quantity of schools you consider in order to find the best quality fit.
Though the annual Higher Education Research Institute survey reported that students are already employing that approach (just 12 percent of first-time, full-time freshmen applied to only one college in 2011), Education Secretary Duncan believes that too many students are making their college choices based on distance from home rather than price, majors and other factors vital to college completion and future success. He feels that if students apply to more schools and compare financial aid packages, they'll find the school and program that's right for them. But not everyone is buying into his "shop around" proposal. Lloyd Thacker, director of the admissions reform group Education Conservancy, said, "The problem with the admissions process is it's become too much like a transaction or consumer process, and less like an investment in education ... I'm not saying what he's doing is necessarily wrong but you need to be very thoughtful that good intentions are tied to sound research."
Check out the full Inside Higher Ed article here and let us know what you think. Are you ready to go shopping with Duncan or will you be taking a different approach when applying to college?

Liberal arts students have a reputation for being a bit quirky and colleges catering specifically to these majors are no exception. Carleton College, Naropa University, Grinnell College and Deep Springs College are four such institutions renowned for their unique extracurricular activities, majors and more.
Besides being ranked the sixth-best liberal arts college by U.S. News and World Report, Carleton College is also famous for its unique extracurricular activities. For instance, students have organized multiple scavenger hunts for the bust of German playwright Friedrich Schiller since 1957 and the college is also famous for its Assassins Guild, whose members try to "kill" each other with Nerf guns, "poisonous" Tabasco sauce and "explosive" alarm clocks.
Naropa University is a private liberal arts college in Colorado which integrates meditation into the curriculum and offers a unique blend of Eastern and Western educational practices. Majors include Peace Studies, Contemplative Psychology and Traditional Eastern Arts...interesting, right?
Grinnell College is another private institution known for its independent majors. After their first year, students can tailor their majors to suit their preferences instead of following a rigid degree path. Also of note are the school's post-graduation "Grinnell Corps" programs, which allow students to help others in places ranging from Namibia to China. In addition, Grinnell has the highest per capita Peace Corp volunteer rate of any college, despite only having 1,500 students.
Deep Springs College is an exclusively male liberal arts college famous for its method of selecting 26 students and giving them all full scholarships. The professors knit, stargaze and have ping pong tournaments with their students and they also live within walking distance of the students' dorms on a cattle ranch/alfalfa farm.
If you decide to attend one of these colleges, it's safe to say you'll be in for a college experience unlike any other!

When I first started attending college in 2009, there was nothing I wanted more than to graduate...fast. But now that I'm about to receive my B.A. in English Professional Writing in December, the idea of graduating terrifies me. What if I can't find a job? What if the so-called "real world" isn't as glorious as I imagined it? And what if I do find a job but I don't get to use my writing skills?
But even in my darkest moments, I've never considered being a perpetual student like Michael Nicholson, a 71-year-old man from Michigan who is working on his 30th college degree – a master's in criminal justice. While I admire his extreme dedication and patience, I personally don't want to spend the rest of my life paying for college or facing the dreaded "Sorry, you're overqualified for this job."
With that said, I think that if going to school makes Michael happy, then he should continue to do just that. After working numerous menial jobs, going to college probably makes him feel more productive...and there's no doubt that he's more broadly educated than most of us will ever be. His degrees range from home economics to psychology, and an astounding 22 of them are master's degrees! So, while I can understand why some people feel that perpetual students are determined to avoid responsibility, I think that as a retired septuagenarian who has worked his whole life, Michael has more than earned the right to do as he pleases. And having talked with classmates who are even more terrified of graduating than I am, I think that there are more people who would prefer to remain students than face the "real world" than we'd like to admit.
So, what's the answer? Like everything in life, I think the key is balance. Most of us (due to financial and time constraints) can't afford to pursue 30 degrees but we can make the most of our time in college by doing internships, maintaining high GPAs and going to graduate school if our dream job requires it. What path will YOU take?

On my quest to become the best brewer that I can possibly be,I have decided to research water chem. and ph.I have hard water that is high in iron as i'm on a well.I have made some great beers with my water but would like to see if I can improve them.I have not had a water report done yet,but will shortly.I want to start with ph.I currently have Calcium Chloride and Carbonate on hand.What other minerals and or salts should I have on hand now that I am getting into water chemistry?.Is raising and lowering PH as simple as adding the two afforementioned minerals that I have?Sorry if this post is redundant,I have found a wealth of info using the search function,maybe to much as it has become somewhat daunting.
Lady Astor-"If you were my husband,I would poison your drink"
Winston Churchill-"If you were my wife,I'd drink it"
I'm not an expert, but I think these would be the way to start:
1)Get a PH meter
2)Get a water analysis
3)With the above and free water calculator (Kai's, EZ, etc...), you will estimate what salts you may need for each recipe you plan to brew or if you need to mix your water with RO
4)Always use your PH meter to verify your mash PH, making adjustments as necessary.
Without a water report, you'd just be guessing. Get the water report first.
With iron in the water, you may find that you will need to buy reverse osmosis or distilled water instead of using your tap water. I have hard, alkaline water but no iron so I can mix RO water and my tap water with good results!
Generally, for adjustments you'll need some calcium chloride, lactic acid, and possibly some gypsum.
I have a ph meter.How long into the mash should I check PH?
Calcium chloride is the most important - you will use that frequently - possibly on every brew. Calcium sulfate (gypsum) is probably the salt most used by brewers though not all people like the effects of even modest levels of sulfate on hops is beer. Calcium carbonate is used to raise mash pH in dark beers in cases where mash pH goes too low. Magnesium sulfate (epsom salts) is used by brewers who want to emulate a particular brewing water that contains magnesium. Emulators will also need sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and CO2 gas. Most do not actually attempt to duplicate a particular water and so can get by with calcium chloride, sulfate and carbonate.
Most important is a acid of some sort. The easiest to use comes from acidulated malt (sauermalz). Lactic acid is the working ingredient in sauermalz. It is available in liquid form at home brew supply shops.
Iron is relatively easy to remove from water but wait to see how much you have before deciding to undertake this. One of the easiest paths to good brewing water is dilution with RO or DI water. If you wind up doing that the iron will be reduced.
See the Primer in the Brewing Science stickies for general guidance on starting out in water treatment.
The most important pH reading is one made in the mash at dough-in. If sauermalz has been used that reading may be deceptively low as the lactic acid from that source takes a few minutes to react so if readings are low continue to take them until a suitable pH is reached.
Thank you very much for the informative replies,I greatly appreciate it.
