Pickin' Like Chet: Chet Atkins Vintage Classics, Volume One composed by Pat Kirtley. For Guitar (Fingerpicking). Boxed, Methods. Grossman Guitar Workshop. Country. Intermediate-Advanced. 2-DVD Set. Duration 173 minutes. Published by Grossman's Guitar Workshop (MB.GW985SDVD).
Chet Atkins was a master in many aspects of the guitar. One of his greatest skills was his uncanny talent of discovering songs which would work as fingerstyle arrangements, and then using his musical genius to forge them into enduring masterpieces. National Fingerstyle Guitar champion Pat Kirtley has assembled a collection of favorites from Chet's "Golden Era" -- some of the best of Chet Atkins' vintage classic tunes -- and teaches you the secrets of how its done, and how to get the feel of the originals in this double DVD. Pat chose these tunes, his own favorites from Chet's vast collection, carefully dissecting them and then putting them back together, step by step, so the guitarist can not only learn to play them, but also gets a sense of the feel and history of each unique selection. Pat teaches you note by note and phrase by phrase six of Chet's greatest arrangements. Using split-screen you can study both the left and right hands in detail. A printed tab/music booklet is included as well as a PDF file of the booklet on each DVD. Every tune here is a winner, a true Chet Atkins classic, and each one is guaranteed to be a standout solo guitar performance piece. These challenging arrangements will provide hours of pleasurable fingerstyle fun as you learn to pick it like Chet!

Q: Where do you stand regarding High Fructose Corn Syrup and its use in foods/beverages?
A: High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is a sweetener made through the process of combining fructose and glucose with added enzymes and acids to produce a powerful sweetener at a cheaper cost for use in foods. It is listed by the Food and Drug Administration to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS), meets the requirements to be identified as "natural," and provides the same amount of calories as table sugar.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans report that the body metabolizes all sugars the same and is unable to distinguish between the types of sugars. Table sugar is also composed of fructose and glucose, although at a slightly different ratio. There has been much debate about HFCS and its relation to obesity in the United States. However, we must consider that many foods containing a higher amount of added sugars include soft drinks or other sweet beverages, candies and desserts. These products are often high in calories and fat while lacking in other vital nutrients. These should be consumed less frequently as they do not offer much nutritional value.
HFCS may appear on the ingredient list of some condiments, breads, and sauces as well – that is because of its versatility compared to other sweeteners. If there is concern about the amount of added sugars one consumes, choosing products labeled, "no added sugar," is one way to control this. If able, making these products from scratch is another great option. Currently, there is no scientific confirmation to verify that HFCS directly contributes to obesity, diabetes, or other conditions. Rather, the American Diabetes Association recommends that the management of diabetes center more largely on monitoring carbohydrates from not only sugar-containing foods, but also from fruits, starchy vegetables, and grain products as these have an effect on blood glucose levels.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics concurs by encouraging a focus on healthful eating from nutrient-rich foods in order to maintain a healthy weight. Foods such as dairy products and fruits have naturally-occurring sugar and have the added benefit of providing important vitamins and minerals, therefore, making them a sweet and more nourishing option overall.
For nutritional counseling, Norman Regional Health System offers the guidance of registered dietitians. Those interested can schedule an appointment for an assessment with a referral from their family physician.

Does these mean they will avoid the annoying issue that X11 has with mice getting lost in invisible areas in multi-monitor setups (like when you have monitors of different resolutions)?
Phoronix: Wayland Looks To Do Multi-Monitor The Right Way
Two weeks ago the hot discussion item being talked about by those interested in the Wayland Display Server was how to handle input with Wayland (e.g. using X Input, create a separate "Inland" input project, or designing something entirely different). The new subject now brought up on the Wayland mailing list is how to handle multiple monitor support. Fortunately, it looks like Kristian plans to implement multiple monitor/display support in a different -- and better -- way than how it's dealt with by the X.Org Server...
Does these mean they will avoid the annoying issue that X11 has with mice getting lost in invisible areas in multi-monitor setups (like when you have monitors of different resolutions)?
How is this better? There's nothing preventing an X11 driver from doing exactly the same thing to implement RandR's multi-screen support.
Sweet. Now if only GNOME, KDE, XFCE, E, or any other Linux desktop actually managed to use multi-monitor desktops properly. It seems all of them want to treat your desktop as a single spanned display with maybe some half-assed thought put into limiting the panel to a single display. New windows are just as likely to pop up on your secondary, head-craning-required, not-even-turned-on display as they are to appear on the main display (in which the action that caused the window to open took place). Desktop icons are usually sorted to the wrong place. The desktop bars default to left-most monitors usually. Hell, GDM is even so ****ing stupid as to place the greeter window and panel on whichever monitor the cursor is currently on, including a "race condition" that allows the greeter to show up on one display and the panel to show up on another.
Meanwhile, WinXP and Win7 both Just Work(tm) exactly the way you'd expect things to.
I don't get it. Multiple monitors are practically a necessity for many programming tasks, particularly those that deal with the whole desktop. How come nobody in the Linux desktop world has bothered to implement support for them properly?
Oh, and just to top it off, the Linux r600 driver lists my displays in reverse order of Windows, so whenever I change OSes I need to swap cables to get the monitor that's actually in front of my face to be the primary display. Lovely.
I use xfce. The panel has options to span over two monitors (though only useable, when the lower bounds of the display are aligned), or limiting it to each monitor.
What do you expect more?
For me new windows appear on the display the mouse pointer is currently on.
They are just staying where they are on the primary monitor.
To the primary monitor? Is that a bad default?
My xfce does also.
They are?
Code:xrandr --output XXX --primary
When was the last time you used KDE? For me KDE always opens windows on the same monitor as the mouse, and has for at least several releases. This is an option, you can change it, but I am pretty sure that is the default.
Further, the two screens have entirely separate desktops, with independent icons, widgets, wallpapers, even the desktop type can be different. It possible, even in theory, for icons to shift from one desktop to the other.
Sorry, that should be "impossible, even in theory, "
Yes. Since at least KDE 4.4 when I started with multi-monitor, Kwin will open an application on the "active" monitor, which is where your last mouse click was.
This is actually far better than Windows XP is, which launches applications wherever it wants, and in no consistent size or location (much less customizable).
I currently use the Nvidia driver and KDE SC 4.6.0, and I don't have any complaints.

Garmin Nuvi 295W GPS Review
The good: The Garmin Nuvi 295W features crisply rendered maps and quick routing/rerouting of trips. Its text-to-speech feature speaks street names when giving directions. The unit's autocorrect function learns frequently typed words and helps with entering destinations quickly.
The bad: All of the Nuvi 295W's connected features require Wi-Fi connectivity, which we found finicky to connect. Screen resolution is a bit low for Web browsing. The unit lacks traffic data, highway lane guidance, and Bluetooth hands-free calling, all of which are very useful features for in-car navigation.
The bottom line: The Garmin Nuvi 295W is a solid point-to-point GPS navigator with a few neat tricks that on-foot navigators may appreciate, but its secondary camera and Wi-Fi-connected features just aren't very useful from behind the wheel.
What do you get when you yank the phone parts out of the Garmin Nuvifone? The obvious answer is "just a regular Garmin Nuvi." However, that's not exactly the case, as the Garmin Nuvi 295W retains more than a few of its smartphone bits, including a 3-megapixel camera and Wi-Fi connectivity. The Garmin 295W features nearly identical hardware and software as the Nuvifone G60 with a few mostly invisible changes, but is this new device raising the bar for portable navigation devices or simply lowering the bar for a smartphone that we've already judged as mediocre?
What do you get when you yank the phone parts out of the Garmin Nuvifone? The obvious answer is "just a regular Garmin Nuvi." However, that's not exactly the case, as the Garmin Nuvi 295W retains more than a few of its smartphone bits, including a 3-megapixel camera and Wi-Fi connectivity. The Garmin 295W features nearly identical hardware and software as the Nuvifone G60 with a few mostly invisible changes, but is this new device raising the bar for portable navigation devices or simply lowering the bar for a smartphone that we've already judged as mediocre?
Externally, the design is the same. The PND features a black, soft-touch finish that seems oddly impervious to all but the greasiest of fingerprints. The unit measures 4.4 inches tall by 2.3 inches wide by 0.5 inch thick and features a 3.5-inch, 65,000-color touch screen with a 272×480-pixel resolution, which is a bit on the small side for in-car navigation. Still, the screen is of reasonable brightness with crisp colors and remains legible in all but the most direct sunlight.
Along the unit's top edge are a power/lock button and a headphone jack. Along one of the unit's black chrome-trimmed sides are a volume rocker and a camera button. Along the opposite edge you'll find a microSD card slot, Mini-USB port, and car dock connection point. The back panel of the device is home to the 3MP digital camera (no flash) and a removable cover, behind which you'll find the 295W's removable 1,200mAh lithium ion battery.
Holding the Power/Lock button powers the phone on or off, depending on its current state. Once powered up, pressing this button puts the 295W to sleep. Tapping the same button again brings the user to a lock screen, where a lock icon must be double-tapped to reawaken the phone.
The Nuvi 295W uses a version of the Garmin Nuvifone's "Breeze UI" interface with the obvious exception of the system's functionality. The home screen features a two-tiered design with two-thirds of the screen being dedicated to two large circular icons for selecting a destination and viewing the map. Along the bottom edge (or right edge, depending on orientation) of the screen is a scrollable list of icons for secondary functions such as Web browser, e-mail, music player, or camera.
The destination and map screen should be immediately familiar to anyone who's ever held a Garmin Nuvi-branded PND in the last decade. The unit's menus and maps feature bright, colorful icons and the maps, while fairly basic-looking, are crisply rendered and easy to understand at a glance. The unit's resistive touch screen doesn't allow for any multitouch gesturing such as pinch-to-zoom, so the map interface relies on buttons for all of its zooming needs.
Like the G60 that came before, the 295W features a built-in accelerometer and an interface that can be viewed in portrait or landscape orientation; the former being great for handheld navigation and the latter best used in the car. We didn't experience any of the accelerometer fickleness that was present with the G60. However, the change from portrait to landscape orientation did seem to take a beat longer than we were accustomed.
The onscreen keyboard, which is used for destination entry and in the 295W's various applications, also features portrait and landscape orientations. Landscape is the easiest to use, thanks to its more generous key spacing and QWERTY layout. Garmin's intuitive autocomplete function learns words that you frequently input and suggests them when it recognizes the first few letters being input. A dedicated autocomplete button allows users to select the suggested word and helps in quickly inputting information. However, we found that our inputs were slowed considerably when using the unit in its portrait orientation because of a combination of the onscreen keyboard being more cramped when in this orientation and, oddly, rearranged in an awkward alphabetical layout instead of the more familiar QWERTY.
Upon unboxing the Garmin Nuvi 295W, users will find the portable navigation device and its lithium ion battery, a suction-cup mount cradle, an adhesive dashboard disc, a 12-volt Mini-USB power cable, and a Mini-USB sync cable along with the usual assortment of Quick Start guides and user manuals.
Under the hood, the 295W features nearly identical hardware to the Nuviphone G60 with the obvious exception of its lack of a cellular antenna and SIM card slot. The 295W retains its Wi-Fi antenna and can connect too the Internet to access data to fuel its various auxiliary functions. Unfortunately, we had a hard time getting the device to reliably connect to public hotmspots that required a log-in during testing, yet our WEP secured home network was accessed quickly and easily. Your mileage may vary.
At its core, the 295W is as solid a GPS navigator as any Garmin we've tested. Garmin preloads the unit with maps of the continental United States and Canada and offers turn-by-turn directions with text-to-speech spoken street and POI names. Oddly, the unit does not have any sort of graphic lane guidance for freeway interchanges, which seems like a bit of a step backward in navigation technology. Additionally, the unit features no traffic data technology, which is a bit of a black mark when many new PNDs in the 295W's price range are offering some sort of free FM traffic deal.
Outside of the core navigation functions, the 295W features a rudimentary Webkit-based Web browser, an e-mail client with POP3 and IMAP support, Google Local search, and weather forecasts. All of these features require Wi-Fi connectivity, so if you live in a free Wi-Fi desert, you won't get very much use out of them.
Outdoor photos were crisply rendered, but the colors were a bit oversaturated.
The digital camera can be accessed via the home screen icon or by holding the camera button on the unit's edge. The camera application features simple geotagging of photos and a basic gallery function, but no other options or settings. The camera automatically focuses before each shot and can be prefocused by half-pressing the shutter button. Photos taken under average office lighting levels were blurry and noisy with a bluish-green tint. Outdoor photos turned out considerably clearer.
With a cold boot time of nearly 2 minutes, we found that it was often best to put the device to sleep when we weren't using it, rather than fully power it off. Between its 250-hour standby battery life and the included 12-volt car charger, keeping the Nuvi 295W juiced shouldn't be an issue. Users who want to go untethered with the 295W can count on an estimated 4-hour continuous-use battery life. Despite the slow start-up time, it obtained a satellite lock in a mere 60 seconds from a cold boot and nearly instantaneously from subsequent restarts. Additionally, positioning fidelity was on par with the rest of Garmin's offerings, which is to say great when given a clear view of the sky and iffy on narrow streets tucked between tall buildings.
Without traffic data, the Nuvi 296W had a bad habit of leading us straight into bumper-to-bumper traffic. However, in a side-by-side comparison with Google's free navigation software, the lightning quick routing of the Nuvi made Google's cloud-based navigation option seem downright sluggish, particularly when wandered away from the land of strong 3G data connections. During our rerouting test, the Nuvi was able to quickly recalculate a path to our destination before the Google phone even realized that we'd strayed from our route. There clearly is an advantage to locally storing your map data.
The performance of the Nuvi 295W's non-GPS functions is, on the other hand, less than stellar. The screen's resolution, while perfectly fine for viewing a map from two feet away, is a bit too low-resolution for browsing and reading content on the Web. The Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts applications' legibility was better thanks to their larger font sizes. However, none of these functions offers any obvious way to sync with Microsoft's, Google's, or Apple's productivity software, which means users will have to manually enter all of their appointments and to-do lists.
In sum
When we took a look at the Garmin Nuvifone G60, we concluded that the device was a fine navigator but failed as a smartphone. Free from our high expectations for a smartphone and judged as a PND, the Garmin Nuvi 295W is painted in a better light and earns a higher score.
However, our experience with the 295W was still something of a roller coaster ride. When the device was guiding us from point A to B, the 295W impressed, yet whenever we found ourselves attempting to do anything else with the device, we were met with frustration.
Users who do a good deal of on-foot urban navigation will appreciate the way the Nuvi 295W fits in the hand in portrait mode and its easily accessed pedestrian routing options. They may also enjoy the unit's simple digital camera for quick snaps and, if they find themselves in an area where open Wi-Fi is plentiful, occasionally check their e-mail or do a quick Google search with the unit's Web browser.
However, for users who will primarily be using this unit for in-car navigation, we think that the 295W's biggest competition will come from simpler devices, such as the Nuvi 265WT, from within Garmin's own ranks. Sitting on the same shelf as this a simpler device, we find it difficult to justify the 295W's complexity. Both devices are equally good GPS navigators and are comparatively priced, but the 265WT invests in those features that would be useful to a driver behind the wheel: a larger screen, lifetime FM traffic, and Bluetooth hands-free calling. Comparatively, the 295W's camera and Web browsing features are neat tricks, but frankly they're not very useful in a GPS device that will likely live alongside a feature phone or a smartphone that will probably already feature these capabilities.

By Alice Bumgarner When Tim Westergren started the Music Genome Project in 2000, the goal was to analyze the musical details of thousands of songs by studying them one at a time.

While the problems he sorts out may appear to be vastly different, he says, the principles that drive successful innovation are much the same. Breakthrough Solutions for One of Earth's Biggest ChallengesA conversation with Richard Fuller, president of Great Forest Inc. and the Blacksmith Institute.Jan-27-09. By Alice Bumgarner Even as Richard Fuller was running Great Forest Inc., one of the top sustainability consulting companies in the U.S., he wondered what sort of tangible environmental impact his work made: Was it reducing the amount of deforestation? Was it aiding biodiversity? Was it reducing the level of pollution that causes health problems? The Best New Ideas show "Evidence of Tinkering"A conversation with Guido Jouret, CTO of Emerging Markets Technology Group (EMTG), Cisco Systems, Inc.Jan-16-09. By Jo Grogan Guido Jouret believes that innovative ideas with the greatest chance of success show "evidence of tinkering," that is, "people are trying to use whatever means they have at hand, barbed wire, bubble gum, sticky tape," to make the idea work. Those are the ideas that are worth the investment of time and money necessary to bring it to market, and those are the ideas that get his attention. Changing Real Estate Consulting From the Inside OutA conversation with Jeff Zell, president and chairman of real estate consultants JM Zell Partners.Jan-11-09. By Alice Bumgarner When he founded JM Zell Partners in 1989, Jeff Zell crafted an innovative, new business model for real estate consulting.

By Alice Bumgarner Last year, Americans threw over 2.2 million tons of electronic waste into landfills. Alfred Hambsch believes we need to find a more responsible way to dispose of all that e-waste. Hambsch is CEO of Barrie Metals, one of Canada's largest recycling companies, and he's arguably the best man for a task that requires sustained innovation. The company has been described as a "factory in reverse," dismantling components instead of assembling them, then finding new uses for the remaining plastic, aluminum, copper and precious metals. Philosophy and Innovation make good BedfellowsA conversation with John Del Monaco, Manager, Emerging Technology and Transfer, Public Service Enterprise Group, Inc. (PSEG)Dec-29-08.

Innovation Consulting at Strategy&An Interview with Alexander KandybinNov-05-08. By Sandy Staggs "At its simplest level, innovation is embodied by a product or service offering that contains a significant element of newness," according to Alexander Kandybin, a Partner and Vice President at global management consulting firm Strategy& (formerly Booz & Company). However, he points out, "new" does not have to mean entirely new to the world line. "Line extensions of existing brands—i.e. Colgate Whitening toothpaste or White Chocolate Reese's Peanut Butter Cups—are a frequently profitable form of innovation. True innovation can take the form of a new product, technology, process, content, or even the presentation and marketing of an existing product or service."

By Sandy Staggs Innovation does not always lead to solving the world's most complex dilemmas such as reducing CO2 emissions through hydrogen technology or ending world hunger through hardier, genetically-engineered crops. Innovation more often occurs right under our very noses, whether we are aware of it or not, and in the most unlikely of places such as your local supermarket.

I don't see a big draw here. Sounds like a lot of talent going into a feature that only supports a few specialized machines.
Phoronix: IBM: Memory Power Management Savings Measurable
An IBM Linux Technology Center has shared that enabling experimental memory power management within the Linux kernel has dropped one of their test system's power consumption by about 2.6% but it's likely even more with experimental hardware...
I don't see a big draw here. Sounds like a lot of talent going into a feature that only supports a few specialized machines.
"few specialized machines"? This feature is already supported on some ARM boards and is coming to x86.
A normal 4 socket Intel Xeon machine and/or AMD Opteron machine (a 20,000$) server usually have ~40+ cores and anywhere between 128GB and 1TB (!) of memory, and I'm not talking about a 100+K$ mainframe machine like the IBM Power series.
Plus, keep in mind that as you increase the amount of memory (I've got a number of machines with 512GB RAM), the power saving should increase (at least in theory).

Agencies turn to social media to engage public in an emergency
Tuesday - 12/11/2012, 12:37pm EST
Justin Herman, social media lead, Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies, GSA
In an emergency, would you call someone or text them? Maybe you would just tweet or post to Facebook to get the word out to a lot of people quickly.
"Social media offers that unique ability in order to engage and listen in real time to the needs of citizens," said Justin Herman, the social media lead for the Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies at the General Services Administration.
Herman told The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp Tuesday that happens across the board in all agencies.
"We saw this in Sandy," he said. "The president of the United States went to the American public and said that if your power goes out, if you need critical information from the government, look to social media."
During an emergency, the federal government interacts with the public in three ways:
- It distributes information to the public via social media platforms;
- It monitors emerging situations as they happen; and
- It communicates directly with members of the public.
"They're both listening and also putting out information and then engaging directly to dispel rumors and put out correct information when it matters," Herman said.
Justin Herman, social media lead, Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies, GSA
Since the public accesses social media on a variety of platforms, the government tries to get the information to the public wherever they are.
One of the difficulties exposed during Hurricane Sandy was that some people were distributing false information. To make it easier for citizens to verify the source of a social media posting, the government operates the Federal Social Media Registry.
"What that does is it allows any social media platform in the government, from any agency, to register, and the American public can go to USA.gov to verify that it's a legitimate account," Herman said.
Twitter has also verified many federal government accounts, so citizens can look for the blue verification check mark to ensure that an account is operated by a legitimate government agency. Those agencies that haven't been verified by Twitter yet can still register at the Federal Social Media Registry.
"One thing we can control is that social media registry," Herman said. "That's why we ask agencies to use it and let the people know what's a legitimate account or not."
During an emergency, it's important for federal employees to remember that while they may be responsible for the content of their personal social media accounts, official accounts should be used only to distribute official information.
"While you're not supposed to be tweeting official things or posting official statements from your private accounts, know that when the people are looking to you that you want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem," Herman said.
Impressive work in an emergency
For the most part, Herman said he was impressed by the way the agencies handled its social media output during Hurricane Sandy.
"I got to watch it and see the fact of how agencies around government coordinated," Herman said. "I think that's the key word that happens here. You have this response from NOAA, FEMA, USDA, many different agencies all had a role to play in both the response to Sandy when it was happening, the preparation for it, and agencies came together, made sure they were sharing information in real time and that the information the public needed got out. The coordination effort that went out, I felt, was really incredible."
Performance metrics is one area the government is passionate about, Herman said, and that's the case with measuring the effectiveness of social media use in distributing information during an emergency. The government has to be able to measure the effectiveness so that it can improve services or cut costs if needed.
"There's a lot of mechanisms that we have to gauge what the reach is, what the effectiveness, more importantly, is of messages that we put out, so that if something, perhaps, isn't as effective as we need it to be, that's why we can change our strategies, rewrite things very quickly, to get the mission done," Herman said.
As far as lessons learned from Hurricane Sandy go, Herman said agencies should continue to work on finding ways to get information to citizens without them having to go look for it.
One of the best ways to distribute information to the public is "short media service" or texting.
"Always, SMS is a great frontline tool to be able to organize people and get people information during crisis situations, even when they don't have the Internet," Herman said.
Once a message is sent out, the agency's next priority is to listen.
"Through social media, the government is able to listen to the needs of the public and citizens and find out what's going on in emerging situations," Herman said. "And the second biggest thing is engaging, to be able to dispel rumors, put out information, answer questions, that's really the benefit."
Hurricane Sandy offers Army lesson in social media best practices

OGDENSBURG Construction in Ogdensburg increased in dollar value in 2012 with commercial projects standing out in an otherwise soft economy.
Code Enforcement Officer Gregg A. Mallette said Thursday that commercial and residential construction last year was valued at $7,198,000, up from $4,014,000 in 2011.
Still, his office issued fewer building permits, 415 of them in 2012 as opposed to 454 in 2011.
It was the costlier, bigger-scope commercial projects that made the difference in the bottom line.
Commercial jobs always have a higher value, Mr. Mallette said.
Those commercial jobs and their price tags included:
n St. Lawrence Federal Credit Unions ongoing expansion at 800 Commerce Park Drive, $2 million.
n Ogdensburg Volunteer Rescue Squads new headquarters, ongoing at 1223 Pickering St., $1 million.
n Key Bank interior and handicapped-access renovations, 333 Ford St., $250,000.
n Remediation of the petroleum-contaminated Thomas Duffy property at Lighthouse Point, $500,000.
On another upbeat note, new home construction also rose in 2012. Three of them, with a total value of $400,000, were built in 2012. Last year, two homes with a total value of $160,000 were built in Ogdensburg.
Mr. Mallette said the overall decrease in building permits was because of a drop in the number and value of home projects. And that has been a steady decline of late because his office generally issues about 500 building permits a year.
The home projects, Mr. Mallette noted, are smaller and less expensive.
And for good reason.
Obviously, the economy is a factor, he said. People are being more conservative with their money.

This summer, make your kid an artist—join us for art camp at the de Young Museum!
FAMSF Blog
Today the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco wish a happy birthday to renowned artist Richard Diebenkorn. The Fine Arts Museums have enjoyed a long relationship with the artist since the Legion of Honor hosted Diebenkorn's first solo exhibition in 1948. From that point on, the Museums were ardent supporters of the artist and his work. Both the American Art Department and the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts have compiled significant holdings of his work.
"Will Work for Art" is a new series of blog posts that will take you behind the scenes to meet the people who make the Fine Arts Museums possible. Our inaugural staff member is Debra Evans, head of paper conservation. Originally from Hawaii, she has been at the museums for 28 years.
Conservators Jacques Neguer and Ghaleb Abu Diab of the Israel Antiquities Authority are visiting from Israel to oversee the conservation and installation of the Lod Mosaic at the Legion of Honor. The mosaic was discovered below the streets of the city of Lod in Israel and arrived to the U.S. in seven panels. This mosaic floor is the centerpiece of the exhibition Marvelous Menagerie: A Roman Mosaic from Lod, Israel, which opens this Saturday, April 23 at the Legion of Honor.
FAM acting head objects conservator Lesley Bone sat down with her two colleagues to discuss the discovery of the mosaic and the conservation treatments they conducted. It is a fascinating conversation that reveals the behind-the-scenes science that goes into an object before it is placed on view and provides a rare glimpse into the way conservators think and talk about works of art.
In 2009, senior registrar Stephen Lockwood came across a series of ledger books while examining the de Young's offsite storage facility. These antique books contained detailed records of the weather and daily attendance at the de Young since its opening day in 1895. One entry was particularly interesting:
Visitors to the Artist Studio (Kimball Education Gallery) may remember the charming textiles artist Joe Cunningham and "Joe's Quilt Shop." Joe has long been a favorite of the Bay Area quilting world, and in March 2010, he took up residency in the Artist Studio, taught visitors how to quilt, regaled us with clever ballads, reversed the stereotype that men don't quilt, and impressed us with his works, including Bend in the River, which was acquired by the de Young. Now, he returns to the Museum as part of the ann

It looks trivial to add support for new devices.

Phoronix: Apple iPad Tethering Now Works With Linux
If you've been wanting to share your iPad's Internet connection with your Linux system without resorting to jail-breaking your tablet or going through other lengthy steps, it should now be possible to setup...
It looks trivial to add support for new devices.
He just did #define USB_PRODUCT_IPAD 0x129a to add support for the iPad.
So I assume you would just need to get the product id and add another line or two and you'll have support for the iPad 2 and 3?
Hmm, ok... a feature for those with genuine brain defects. WHO in their right mind would actually pay for a mobile data connection for a tablet? You have your phone in your pocket all the time anyway, SHARE THAT with your tablet, your laptop, or any other computer you're using.
Secondly, only a total piece of iTrash would fail to support proper network sharing and require proprietary bullshit.
A *GOOD* tablet, i.e., ANDROID, will share whatever network connection it has with anything that wants to connect... i.e., via BLUETOOTH, WIFI, or USBNET. Take your pick.
I suggest that people do NOT WASTE ENERGY implementing iTrash specific hacks. Let iTrash users suffer -- they deserve it for being stupid enough to actually buy that crap.
Story time:
My mom asked me last summer what tablet she should get. I thought about what was available for Android, Windows 7 Tablet, WebOS, and iOS. It took me about 10 seconds to decide to recommend an iPad to her. I already own a 7" Android tablet, and given the number of crashes from applications and the tablet itself that I'd seen, and the general UI responsiveness issues with it, I really didn't want to have to deal with support calls for that... A full-blown windows tablet seemed overkill for what she wanted to do (surf the web and check her email while on the road during vacations, and from the couch at home). WebOS already seemed like a dead end, and I didn't have experience with it (and wouldn't be able to support it well).
I told her to get an iPad. Apple already had a few generations of iOS devices under their belt, and I knew the OS was stable (I've owned iPhone 2G and 4, probably going to switch to Android next). The UI is responsive and pleasant. It is more polished than Android (including ICS), and my mom couldn't care less about tethering a data plan between devices, or the fact that she could hook up a debugging cable to the device during development. She didn't care about jailbreaking or rooting the device, and as long as it checked email and was able to view fairly static web pages (no flash), she was happy.
Oh, and iOS is perfectly capable of tethering over Wireless, Bluetooth, or USB. Verizon and AT&T disable the feature unless you pay an extra fee to re-enable it (AT&T is $20/mo, not sure about Verizon).
An iPhone can share its network connection via WiFi & Bluetooth easily without any proprietary stuff. iPad probably behaves the same (unless you bought some crippled-by-carrier-version but then you know what you paid for). Not sure about USB. Sorry to prove you wrong...
