Crescent City Rhapsody | ||||||||||
Kathleen Ann Goonan | ||||||||||
Avon Eos Books, 430 pages | ||||||||||
A review by Jean-Louis Trudel
A prequel of sorts to Goonan's Queen City Jazz, the story of Crescent City Rhapsody takes
place several years before the events depicted in the earlier work. The novel opens with the murder of
Marie Laveau, in the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter. However, Marie, a central figure of the local
underworld, had already contracted for her resurrection, which would require using the latest nanotechnological
and bioengineering techniques. Brought back to life, she will play an ever larger role in the adoption
of nanotechnology by her hometown.
Meanwhile, Zeb, up in Virginia, is on the ground floor when Earth receives its first real greetings from outer
space. He may be a burned out genius and an overly medicated radio-astronomer with a bipolar condition, but
he is also lucky enough to record the coherent signals that are transmitted along with the electromagnetic
pulses that devastate the infrastructure of the United States. And naïve enough to let a friend in government know...
To each book its own rhythm. Crescent City Rhapsody offers a panoramic view of a near future where
semiconductor-based civilization has been cut off at the knees by repeating pulses from outer space. Zeb,
after attempting to let the world know of his observations, finds that the better part of valour may be a
life on the streets of Washington, DC, as an eccentric bum with a notebook full of secrets.
The action unfolds over two decades, as the world is seized by an all-consuming transformation that it only
dimly understands. Lives are changed, scattered, wasted. The children of the Silence, as the impact of the
EM pulses is known, are endowed with strange powers. On opposite sides of the world, Illian, the young
Tibetan refugee, and Jason, the American boy raised on the road, grow up to discover they are being
actively hunted. In Japan, a nanotechnologist is preparing the tools of a new era, when human minds
will become as malleable as any other raw material. In Southeast Asia, a young man who tried to help
Illian has become a terrorist, without ever quite forgetting his vanished friend. And, back in New
Orleans, Marie Laveau is planning a new kind of city, a stronghold of liberty and free inquiry.
For the old structures are crumbling, governments are fragmenting, and humanity is experimenting haphazardly
with the awesome powers of its new creations. Places of refuge are needed, to escape from the last gasps of
state repression and the unfocused craziness of new style terrorists.
The various subplots are slow to converge, but converge they do. Goonan has conceived her novel as something
of a jazz rhapsody, a work of many pieces stitched together, free and easy. Extended sequences end with
sudden shifts to a distant locale that may never be visited again. Some stories progress by leaps and
bounds, while each glimpse of Zeb, trapped in his Washington madness, provides a steady background beat. But
the novel's seeming anarchy and irregular rhythm work better than more cut-and-dried structures; there is
something organic and true in its slow build-up. And in its culmination in an outburst of music, song, and wild dance.
Goonan describes a quilt-like future that is also stitched from many pieces. However catastrophic they are
for modern civilization, the pulses from outer space only play a precipitating role. The ambience of
voudoun, the magnetic sense of humans, the revolutions wrought by neurobiological discoveries, the
many faces of nanotechnology -- all are part of the changes affecting the world. It is their confluence that fires the imagination.
This is a novel for the leisurely reader. Some of its ideas are not quite as fresh as they might have been
five or ten years ago, but the author has some stunners up her sleeve. Still, among the book's chief
pleasures are not just Goonan's ideas but her writing style, her wit, and the tenderness she shows for her
characters. In particular, the relationship between Marie Laveau and her bodyguard Hugo is to be savoured;
their easy banter brings to mind that of Nick and Nora Charles in Dashiel Hammett's The Thin Man.
Most technological revolutions are the product of a combination of ground-breaking innovation. The
original Industrial Revolution drew upon the invention of Watt's steam engine, new ways of producing cast
iron, and the mechanization of weaving. The industrial revolution of the early 20th century was
built upon the internal combustion engine, the production of synthetics, and widespread
electrification. Nanotechnology will almost certainly develop as part of a front of new technologies,
and, if it does, the fun, the confusion, and the sheer terror may not be so different from what Goonan
portrays in Crescent City Rhapsody...
Jean-Louis Trudel is a busy, bilingual writer from Canada, with two novels and fourteen young adult books to his credit in French. He's also a moderately prolific reviewer and short story writer. |

COLUMBIA — Kristin Bilyeu has been cozy with soybeans ever since she was a child. When she was growing up in St. Charles, her father would drive her around and quiz her on different crops in the fields. It was a pretty easy game.
"I wasn't particularly knowledgeable, but I knew if it wasn't corn, which was pretty obvious, it almost had to be soybeans," Bilyeu said.
Soybeans still surround the 41-year-old MU professor, but now they're in her lab in Columbia. She researches the fuzzy, green pods for the Agricultural Research Service in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, working to develop a more perfect soybean using molecular genetics. And that perfect soybean may be on the horizon.
Bilyeu and Grover Shannon, a soybean breeder at MU's Delta Center in Portageville, led a research team that used traditional crossbreeding methods to create a soybean with better fat. This soybean, called high-oleic, has oil with a profile similar to olive oil, and is high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, Bilyeu said.
The discovery of naturally-occurring genes for the trait has been called a scientific breakthrough, but it isn't the only game in town. Monsanto, Pioneer and other biotechnology companies have been working on the problem since the 1990s, and successfully produced genetically modified soybeans with the same trait. The biotech beans are in the FDA's regulatory pipeline, and will enter commercial markets in the coming years.
The buzz means there's a good chance these new soybeans could solve a problem that's been around for decades.
The soybean oil dilemma
Soybean oil has many advantages. It's cheap and plentiful. According to the USDA, Americans planted 77 million acres of soybeans in 2009 and consumed more than 8 million tons of soybean oil the year before. Soybeans account for 90 percent of U.S. oilseed production. It also has an excellent flavor profile.
"You want a cooking oil to carry the natural flavors in your product, and that's what makes soybean oil so wonderful. It's a subtly flavored oil that accentuates and carries forward your product's flavor," said Kevin Fritsche, a nutrition and fatty acid expert at MU. "It allows you as a food scientist or a manufacturer to generate products with the good flavor you've intended."
The disadvantages of soybean oil, however, are that it's unstable at high temperatures and can't be used for baking and frying. Using normal soybean oil to make crackers, Fritsche said, would produce a slimy product that no one would buy. It also has a short shelf-life.
To be useful in commercial cooking, processors bubbled hydrogen through liquid soybean oil to create a semisolid that was stable and lasted longer. In its heyday, partially hydrogenated soybean oil was lauded as a healthy replacement for animal fats like lard and butter. For decades, it put the fry in French fries, the crisp in potato chips, the snap in gingersnaps.
One word changed everything: trans fats. Trans fats became a poster child for unhealthy, processed food since studies linked them to heart disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S. A 2006 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine estimated that eliminating trans fats from American diets might prevent between 72,000 and 228,000 cases of coronary heart disease. In 2006 the Food and Drug Administration mandated the labeling of trans fats on nutrition labels, and some cities, including New York City, began banning trans fats.
The food industry scrambled to find a new cooking oil, and according to Soy Stats, the amount of soybean oil used for baking and frying dropped 20 percent from 1999 to 2009.
Finding a good substitute hasn't been easy, Fritsche said, since alternatives like tropical oils and other options haven't been fully studied. By switching, we might be trading one bad thing for another. Plus, the demand is tremendous.
"It's hard to imagine there are sufficient tropical oils — we're talking about such huge scales of vegetable oil used in our food supply," Fritsche said.
Companies created an emergency substitute after the trans fat scare. By lowering another fatty acid known as linolenic acid in soybeans, researchers developed "low-lin" soybeans, which eliminated trans fats. Companies like KFC Corp. and Kelloggs switched.
But low-lin beans weren't the final answer. Bilyeu said the trait didn't become part of the commodity soybean, but remained in limited markets. Joe Cornelius, vice president of food nutrition business development at Monsanto, said it was a placeholder for a much healthier soybean.
That superior soybean is on the horizon. According to researchers who have run tests, the new high-oleic bean has a healthier fat profile as well as being trans fat free and highly functional in commercial cooking.
Researchers accomplished the new soybean using different methods.
At MU Bilyeu and Shannon used traditional crossbreeding. They discovered two genes that controlled the high-oleic trait, and successfully bred it into plants.
Shannon, who has developed more than 70 varieties of soybean, said the naturally occurring genes for the new soybean is the best discovery he's had in his lifetime.
"High-oleic was a big breakthrough for us. A lot of people have been in pursuit of it for at least 30 years," Shannon said. "This could have a major impact, and the nice thing about it is there are other genes that could be useful in soybeans that we haven't even discovered. We're scratching the tip of the iceberg."
Currently, the MU team is trying to breed the trait into high-yielding lines of soybeans. Bilyeu said she expected the earliest it could hit the market would be in three years. Because the genes are naturally occurring, the trait can bypass an expensive and time-consuming FDA regulatory approval process that genetically modified traits need to go through.
Other researchers at companies like Monsanto and Pioneer achieved the trait using biotechnology.
Monsanto's high-oleic soybean is called Vistive Gold, and is currently making its way through the FDA's regulatory pipeline for biotech products. Cornelius said Vistive Gold has reached nutritional milestones the food industry has asked for, including healthier amounts of five different fatty acids, which each have a nutritional impact.
"This has been a collaborative process with the food supply chain. Growers and processors, food companies, manufacturers, and the nutrition and health community have all had an intimate role in guiding the development of this technology," Cornelius said. "A decade ago, the industry asked us, 'Where are the consumer traits? And how can biotech provide consumer benefits?' This is an example of how biotech is able to do that."
Pioneer's high-oleic soybean, Plenish, has already been approved for cultivation in the United States, but the soybeans will have a limited rollout over the next few years while Pioneer waits for more overseas approvals before fully launching the product.
The future of the soybean
Agronomic traits like herbicide or drought resistance have traditionally benefited farmers. But low-lin and high-oleic oil has set the stage for future soybean research that more directly impacts consumers.
"We're coming to a point where we have output traits that affect food and health," said Mark Winkle, senior director of domestic programs for the United Soybean Board. "That's important. Now consumers are also saying it's a good thing that soybeans are improving."
Kerry Clark, a soybean breeder at MU, said modifying fatty acids has been the biggest step so far in the consumer direction. The next leap forward could lie in a peptide found in soybeans called lunasin, which some studies have identified as helpful in fighting cancer.
Shannon listed removing allergens and finding better tasting beans as areas for future development.
But will these helpful traits find their way to consumers?
Bilyeu hopes to see commodity soybeans change, but in the future there may be a splintering of the market.
Clark said the future isn't a single, improved commodity bean, but the growth of niche markets for specific uses.
Soybeans "will never have all these characteristics together," she said. "They've been trying to make a perfect bean, but it would never become a real variety because it won't yield."
Winkle also sees diversification of the market as new traits are discovered.
"If you have one unique attribute, you'll probably have an impact on another trait, and here's a classic example. With the new high oleic, there's a reduction in saturates. We'd say it's a good thing. But there's also the reduction of omega-3s, so part of the market is excited and part of the market will say wait a minute," Winkle said. "If you think about high-oleic and omega-3 soybeans, you could have two or three different types, and they each may have a significant part of our total acres."
Whatever happens, the real goal could be something easy for consumers, Bilyeu said.
"This should be an option that consumers might not even have to choose," Bilyeu said. "It might just ripple through the food system, so that your potato chips or the muffin that you buy at a coffee shop just might be a little better for you."

Tangled(2010)The long-haired Princess Rapunzel has spent her entire life in a tower, but when she falls in love with a bandit who was passing by she must venture into the outside world for the first time to find him. For more about Tangled and the Tangled Blu-ray release, see Tangled Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on March 18, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Directors: Nathan Greno, Byron Howard Writer: Dan Fogelman Starring: Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Donna Murphy (I), Ron Perlman, M.C. Gainey, Jeffrey Tambor » See full cast & crew Tangled Blu-ray, Video QualityTangled's 2D-only Blu-ray release yields the same exceptional transfer as its Blu-ray 3D counterpart, but without the added benefits of the 3D visual effect. Fortunately for viewers without 3D hardware, Disney's transfer still offers a perceptible sense of depth even through the 2D visuals to go alongside the transfer's stunning clarity, excellent coloring, and superb detail. The film favors a slightly warm red/golden color scheme, but most hues appear naturally represented, whether Rapunzel's purple dress, green foliage, or various earthen tones. Fine detail is nothing short of excellent, too. There's an amazing life to human hair; oddly enough, Flynn's has a little more body and a natural texture than does Rapunzel's, which can look a bit clumpy and indistinct. Other detailing is exceptional; whether the finest nuances as seen on wood and stone situated on the exterior of Rapunzel's tower, the texture of her paintings inside it, or even something as small as minor wear and tear around the collar of Flynn's shirt, Disney's image yields spectacular results from the most broadly generalized objects to the finest little odds and ends. Even the characters themselves have an almost uncanny realism about them; while certain traits may be exaggerated -- the size of Rapunzel's eyes, for instance -- Tangled looks incredibly real, whether the shape, volume, and movements of characters or the textures of natural elements like grasses and tree trunks. Darker scenes yield excellent blacks, but slight banding interferes from time to time, representing the only real drawback present in the transfer. Tangled is a marvelous release, and while the film certainly benefits from its 3D elements, the "downgrade" to 2D doesn't hurt the film's look or entertainment value. Tangled Blu-ray, Audio QualityTangled features a beefy DTS-HD MA 7.1 lossless soundtrack. Disney's audio presentation makes full use of all seven speakers plus the subwoofer; the back channels carry quite a bit of action, music, and sound effects, giving background elements a wider, more natural texture. Music, in particular, finds its way into the back on a regular basis; while it's carried by the front and enjoys an incredible amount of detail, clarity, and natural heft, the back channels ensure a full, well-rounded presentation. The track also makes excellent use of the surrounds in bringing various outdoor atmospherics to life. The lossless presentation also carries quite a bit of hefty sound effects -- stomping hooves, rushing water -- that play with a precise but powerful low end that gives a potent yet clean and invigorating body to the whole experience. Dialogue, too, is expertly reproduced and handled with clarity and ease by the center channel. This is a perfectly balanced, wholly intoxicating mix that satisfies from beginning to end.

"Believe me," he said in a victory speech, "Sarajevo won today as much as Istanbul; Beirut won as much as Izmir; Damascus won as much as Ankara; Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin, the West Bank, Jerusalem won as much as Diyarbakir." The speech reaffirmed the foreign policy that Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) has pursued since it came to power in 2002. As the AKP's foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoğlu, puts it, Turkey's goal has been to have "zero problems" with its neighbors. And over the past decade, Davutoğlu has dramatically improved Ankara's relationships with capitals across the region through constant diplomatic engagement, fostering mutual trade, and opening national borders.
Some in the West have seen Turkey's new foreign policy as a shift Eastward. Indeed, Turkey has drawn closer to authoritarian governments in Iran and Syria. And Erdogan and his team's Muslim identity have influenced some of their foreign policy rhetoric, such as their strong stance in support of Palestine. Accordingly, some, including the British historian Niall Ferguson, even suggest that Turkey might be heading toward "a revived Ottoman Empire" that would dominate the whole Middle East.

Rhody men's hockey trio selected for Winter World University Games
Media Contact:
Dave Lavallee

North Smithfield resident picked to represent U.S.
KINGSTON, R.I. – November 5, 2008 – One player got the call from University of Rhode Island men's hockey coach Joe Augustine on his way to Sunday breakfast.
Another player was lounging on Narragansett Beach when he got the news and the third was in his car driving home when he learned that his hockey fortunes would change dramatically in the coming year.
But Augustine wasn't just calling as skipper of the Rams. He called in his capacity as head coach of the 2009 United States University Select Team, which will travel in February to Harbin, China for the Winter World University Games, which run from Feb. 18 through 28.
Jon Biliouris, a senior defenseman from North Smithfield, Devin Sheehan, a junior forward from Binghamton, N.Y. and sophomore forward Kyle Krannich of Randolph, N.J. were all told by Augustine to make sure they have passports so they can make the trip.
"My family was walking into the restaurant after church when I got the news from Coach Augustine," Sheehan said. "My parents and sister talked about what a great opportunity this would be. How many times do you get to go to China and play against great competition?"
"I made the team two years ago, but I found the training camp to be much faster paced this time around," said Biliouris, who played for the U.S. in Turin, Italy during the 2007 games. "Because this is my senior year, I wanted to go again. When I went to the games in Italy, they treated us like pros, and I understand the facilities in China are excellent."
As the youngest of the URI three, Krannich said he was just trying to have a good showing so he would have a good shot to make the next team. "Being part of the team is exciting because you are going to represent your country and you're wearing your country's jersey. Luckily, I have two very good friends from my URI team making the trip."
Fans who would like to see the three in action before they head to China, as well as the rest of the nationally ranked men's ice hockey team, should go to http://www.uri.edu/athletics/recservices/clubsports/mihschedule.shtml.
Click on team info to get the schedule. Tickets at the Boss Arena are $2 for URI students with identification and children under 12, and $5 for adults.
The U.S. University Select Team is comprised of players from collegiate ice hockey teams affiliated with the American Collegiate Hockey Association, the umbrella organization for collegiate club hockey in the United States. URI plays at the Division I club level and won the national championship in 2006.
Biliouris, who attended Mount St. Charles Academy in Woonsocket for three years and who played junior hockey for the Connecticut Junior Whalers and the Bay State Breakers, is an accounting major. He graduated from East Catholic High School in Manchester, Conn.
Sheehan and Krannich will be part of the U.S. for the first time. A graduate of perennial upstate New York hockey champion, Chenango Forks High School who also played 12 years of travel hockey, Sheehan is an entrepreneurship management major. Krannich is a graduate of Randolph High School, where the boys' hockey team won New Jersey's public schools state hockey championships his junior and senior years. Krannich is a business management major.
Initially, 160 players were invited to try out for the U.S. team, and 80 were then chosen to participate in a three-day camp in Detroit in August. A panel of coaches and scouts evaluated the players during five separate ice sessions, three of them in actual game conditions.
While the three were in high school, they hoped to play Division I varsity hockey, but URI has met all of their expectations because Augustine runs his team like a varsity program.
"I had a year of playing junior hockey, and I applied to several D-I schools," Biliouris said. "But as I faced reality and thought about it, URI just made sense both academically and athletically. We have a beautiful campus, and I have had a lot of fun playing hockey here."
Sheehan agreed that URI was a great choice for him. "I started at Division III Elmira, but I was competing against all these guys from Canada. Even before I started looking at schools, I knew URI took its hockey seriously so transferring was an easy decision," he said.
"Without a doubt, at URI, we are treated better than many Division II and Division III varsity programs and our level of hockey is excellent," Krannich said. "The Boss Arena is much better than rinks at so many of our competitors. Add that to our beautiful campus, the nearby beaches and proximity to Providence, it's tough to beat URI."
The players credit Augustine with giving all URI players the opportunity to excel. "We were national champs my freshman year, and now anything less than that seems unacceptable," Biliouris said.
Krannich said Augustine knows how to get to players and get the most out of them. "He can be an intimidating guy, but he gets what he wants. He gave us a shot to be part of a great program at URI, and I like that he treats everyone the same. If you work hard, you will get a shot."
Sheehan said Augustine creates an environment that keeps players serious. "We hear about other teams' lack of discipline off ice, and here that is unacceptable."
Biliouris agreed adding, "Our whole team has responsibilities, taking care of school first, hockey second and then having fun."
Now that the tension of tryouts has dissipated and the URI season is well under way, Biliouris, Sheehan and Krannich have to worry about raising money for travel to and from the tourney. Total costs for each player will be more than $2,800.
Biliouris said he and his mates will be running a few fund-raisers during the next several months. Those individuals or firms wishing to help the three student-athletes achieve their dream may contact Jon Biliouris at email@example.com or by phone at 401-744-2562.

For one month in 1970, protesters occupied two buildings slated for demolition to build a fast-food restaurant called the Red Barn in Dinkytown near the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
The future of the Southeast Minneapolis Library, part 2: Design library dreams for Prospect Park
This is the second article in a six-part series on the future of the Southeast Library in Minneapolis. Previously, part 1: A part-time library isn't enough.
Some Dinkytown and Marcy-Holmes neighborhood residents fear that Prospect Park will compete for the location of a new Southeast Library, choosing a site that would be less convenient to residents of both Marcy-Holmes and Como neighborhoods.
Dick Gilyard, an architect who lives in Prospect Park, presented a slide program last spring that proposed a library at the 29th Avenue light rail station as part of his neighborhood's plan for the transit corridor along Washington and University avenues.
Too late. "That train has already left the station," McLaughlin said. "The station is under construction, and there is no room for a library."
Gilyard continues to advocate for a new library in the Prospect Park area, but he insists that his plan is separate from the future of the Southeast Library at Dinkytown.
"That will be decided by others—the county through its community-engagement process," he said. "We're now talking about a different kind of library with a theme-based focus independent of what Hennepin County decides to do with the Southeast Library."
Gilyard said the Textile Center at 3000 University Ave. S.E., a national resource devoted to fabric arts across many cultures, has an extensive specialized library.
"We're interested in the notion of a design library [that] would combine the Textile Center's resources with those of other large arts and craft organizations," he said. He said he's talked with a private organization he would not name that could go public with its resources.
The College of Design at the University's St. Paul campus also has a design library that could be more accessible to the public if it became part of the public library Gilyard is suggesting.
Pulling of these libraries together, he said, would make possible the creation of a resource center to help designers working in everything from textiles to furniture.
"We have sort of modified our thinking from the original plan," said Gilyard, a member of the University District Alliance. "I don't want to anger our friends from Marcy-Holmes and Como."

"Hadn't any aunt! -- you numskull. What has that got to do with it?" "Heaps. Because if he'd had one she'd a burnt him out herself! She'd a roasted his bowels out of him 'thout any more feeling than if he was a human!" Aunt Polly felt a sudden pang of remorse. This was putting the thing in a new light; what was cruelty to a cat MIGHT be cruelty to a boy, too. She began to soften; she felt sorry. Her eyes watered a little, and she put her hand on Tom's head and said gently: "I was meaning for the best, Tom. And, Tom, it DID do you good." Tom looked up in her face with just a perceptible twinkle peeping through his gravity. "I know you was meaning for the best, aunty, and so was I with Peter. It done HIM good, too. I never see him get around so since --" "Oh, go 'long with you, Tom, before you aggravate me again. And you try and see if you can't be a good boy, for once, and you needn't take any more medicine." |

The room-mate from hell!
Trip Start
Sep 01, 2010
Trip End
Jun 18, 2011
. There were about a hundred people waiting to get on the coach when we got off (there had only been about 7 even at Sydney) and there were touts everywhere trying to get you to stay at their hostel. We managed to find our pickup and followed him to the mini-bus which was packed with loads of really 'cool' surfer dudes and their sexy moody girlfriends- Tom and I stuck out like a sore thumb. That was our first experience of Byron and it didn't get much better that night. We got checked into our hostel and went to our room- we are staying in a 4 bed dorm room for the next 4 nights here. When we walked in we found a rather large and slightly out-of-it older woman conked out on one of the bunk beds muttering away to herself. Well we soon learnt that this woman was called Elka (apparantly she was a numbian princess in another life, but hey who am I to argue with her) and that she comes here every 6 months for a holiday. She didn't really endear herself to us as she started bossing us around as soon as we got there, telling us where to put our shoes, how to make our beds and having tons of her stuff spread out all over the room. Talking to her I got the impression that she would be your best friend, as long as you didn't say something to upset her, in which case she would probably pull you eyes out of your head. I think we both had our guards up with the lovely Elka. Later that night we also discovered that she snores like a trooper and doesn't mind filling the dorm room with her farts and burps until the wee hours of the morning. Hmmm, I wonder what the next few days have got in store for us....
So today we are moving on from Coff's Harbour and going to a place called Byron Bay, which is about 4 hours drive away. We aren't getting the coach until 5pm so we had the day to relax and get our final plans organised for the next part of our journey. We'd had a really nice time at Coff's Harbour, there might be much to do here but it has been nice to relax and spend some time at the beach- as neither of us are beachy people we probably won't spend much time on the beach, but we had a great time at Coff's. The coach trip to Byron was lovely as we got to the see the sunset over the huge Australian plains- you could move your head in an arc across the sky and see it change from blazing orange to pitch black. We aren't sure how we feel about going to Byron Bay- it is an old hippy town but we have heard that it has been taken over by tourists and teenagers bent on getting bladdered and high, so we're not quite sure what to expect. We got into Byron at 9:30pm and could immediately see how different it was to everywhere else we had been

With umpteen leaked data and images, iPhone 6 seems to be the most anticipated and talked about device ever.
Macitynet, the Italian tech Web site, has some of the very recently leaked images of iPhone 6 dummy screen, most probably behind a sapphire screen for extra scratch resistance.
Click here to see the leaked images from Macitynet.
What's New?
According to the leaked dummy images, the upcoming iPhone 6 will have a new design when compared to its predecessors. The handset is quite broader and relatively thinner in size. The images also show a comparison between Samsung Galaxy S5 and the leaked iPhone 6 dummy. iPhone 6 dummy looks a tad shorter than Galaxy 5 owing to the 4.7-inches display.
The images show a home button similar to that of iPhone 5S. Also, the power button is located peculiarly on the right side and not on top side of the smartphone. The dummy phone showcases the curved bezel, which is a change from the more angular curves seen in iPhone 5S.
The mute and volume buttons are on the left side of the phone, according to GSMarena. The camera unit at the rear end houses a round flash which does not look like a dual-LED flash. Also, there is a microphone.
Release Date
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted Apple's iPhone 6 will come with a larger 4.7-inch display, an upgraded processor, NFC and a thinner design. According to Kuo, the phone will launch in the third quarter of this year probably September 2014. The much bigger iPhone phablet with 5.5-inch display will debut in the fourth quarter of this year.
Here is a quick view of all the specifications leaked so far.
Specifications (Quick Views)
- 2 variants of iPhone 6 in the offing (4.7-inch and 5.5-inch display)
- Uses same LTPS technology
- 1,334 x 750 (326 PPI) screen for the 4.7-inch variant and a 1,920 x 1,080 (401 ppi) screen for 5.5-inch variant (rumored)
- Premium build materials and slick design
- Thinner body (possibly between 6 mm and 7 mm)
- Sapphire crystal screen for scratch resistance (due to shortage of production materials, this may be available only on 5.5-inch
- Touch ID
- A8 processor
- iOS 8
- 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB of internal storage (128 GB rumored)
- A jump from 8 MP camera unit to 12 MP unit (rumored)

Torpedo: High Yeild vs. Spread

After weeks worth of Elite STF runs, I've come to the OPINION that Torpedo Spread is a rubber crutch.
Pure filler.
It's only saving grace is the ability to hit multiple targets if they include Boarding Parties and High Yield Plasma Torps.
Damage-wise, it's marginally better than a single Torpedo IMO.
The argument of being superior for closely packed targets (like the Borg BoP's charging the Kang on Cure) is just that, an argument.
Sure, you can damage both with TS(3) but not bringing down shield facings (assuming you're the only one firing on them).
Torpedo Spread is good, for non-STF play.
NEVER sacrifice HY for TS unless it's specifically for countering Boarding Party and enemy HY Plasma Torps.

Packages Of Care For Alcohol Use Disorders In Low- And Middle-Income Countries
Press release from PLoS Medicine
In the latest article in PLoS Medicine's series proposing the delivery of "packages of care" for mental, neurological and substance-use disorders in low- and middle-income countries, Vivek Benegal and colleagues discuss the treatment of alcohol use disorders in settings where resources are limited. "Packages of care" are combinations of treatments aimed at improving the recognition and management of conditions to achieve optimal outcomes.
Alcohol misuse is responsible for a disproportionately high health burden, accounting for almost 5% of all ill-health and premature death worldwide in 2004. Yet, the treatment and prevention of alcohol use disorders is a low priority in low- and middle-income countries.
The authors report that health care systems in settings where resources are limited currently focus on providing tertiary care services for the treatment of alcohol dependence (where there is often a poor outcome), and exemplify that this focus needs to shift towards the cost-effective strategy of providing brief interventions for the earlier stages of alcohol use disorders.

Full Size Voodoo Plan
I've posted a full-size PDF format plan for Riley Wooten's immortal Voodoo control line combat model published in the July 1961 issue of Model Airplane News to the Vintage and Old Timer Plans forum on rcgroups.com:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...65873&page=720 Bob Keller |
Thanks a lot, Bob! I have downloaded your pdf file into my "Plans" folder.
The VooDoo is a nostalgic favorite of mine, too! Loved the last sport flyer one I built. Flew it many, many times for many years before the leading edge failed. (The leading edge wood was too soft/light for a leading edge... live and learn.) |

Scarinizi's "Blitz" has a better wing construction and flies similar although it was never a kit and never as popular. |
Yup on the LE being the strength of the VooDoo's wing. With a single spar, there is no truss box strength to speak of.
The aforementioned VooDoo was built from a repli-kit. The LE felt very light... but at the time thought it a good thing. After a couple years of flying it, a crack appeared on the LE on the outboard wing by the motor pod. Cut into it, and strengthed it with a plywood laminate as best I could. This helped it hold for several more years. Should I ever build another VooDoo... I will select hard balsa for the LE. Blitz: Always thought it an interesting plane. Having looked over the plans many times... it would NOT be an easy combat plane to build. Seem's most of Larry's designs were that way. (His Super Satan, for example.) I can't imagine building his models by the dozens to be competitive "back then". Way too complicated. IMHO, Larry was more of a designer, craftsman, and tech-nerd than a serious combat flyer. He just loved developing and tinkering. He had superlative building skills and also had excellent flying skills... but just didn't get heavily into the competition combat scene. I can understand that completely! Few flyers were as fun to be around as Larry. He is indeed a blast to be with. I do hope he's doing well. |

He's talking about the Blitz, not the VooDoo and he is correct.

In the mid 70's, I always used a leading edge that weighed at least 1 oz
Hi Bare:
Yup, JK is right, I was talking about the Blitz. The VooDoo is indeed straight forward, especially if you can find a pre-formed LE that matches the template made from the original. Super easy then. About the only combat wing I can think of that is even easier to build than the VooDoo would be the Wooten "Demon". They are so simple a cave man could do it. Fast to build, too. The "Fox Feathers" was also easy-peasy... but it was, for all practical purposes, a modified Demon. FWIW: Given the simplistic design and fast building qualities of the Demon, I used them to learn to fly combat models and learn the stunt pattern. I would build them 2-3 at a time over the course of the week nights (and these were all silk and dope covered, too) and have them ready for the flying field by Sunday. If I had a particularly bad day learning... it was bring the pieces home in a sack, gut/reuse the controls and start building another batch. This went on for a few weeks... but soon I had the entire pattern down and really learned how to build good airplanes. Such an approach had a high attrition rate... but I learned to handle the fast speeds of combat planes as I also learned the manuevers. It worked. Within a month or so, I went from building terrible airplanes and sucky at flying to being the second hottest handle at the flying field and becoming a cocky showboater! Ah, to be young and fearless again! EDIT: BTW Bare: I agree 100% on the deceptive build time of the so-called easy foamies. Plus, they are nowhere NEAR as rewarding/fun to build. I have built/torn up foamies (in combat matches) by the dozens and NONE of them EVER had the "panache" of a nice looking built-up wing. Simply put: The built up combat wings of the Sizzlin' Sixties were indeed the mostest funnest control line things I've ever put up in the air. |

Perhaps.. Do know that the occaisional built up wing models, Mezjlk usually, rarely survive One match. Less entertaining than the usual foam snow even.
Tried a built up slow type a few months back. Flying it was close to watching paint dry slow/boring. Imo only flying stunt could be more sleep inducing :-) Here's a pair of Jeff Dawson (out of San Antonio) Fast combat models. He assembly line builds these and they are simply 'perfect' builds, these..could not.. be better made.. true. Sells 'em for $50 plus shipping.. Unbelievable, one would be hard pressed to buy the materials and diy one for similar costs. |
I don't interfere in his model sales, but I thought they cost more to order in batches smaller than six at a time, unless, of course, he wants to dispose of extras he built on spec / for his own use and you catch him in a close-out after a contest, such as the Grabber, is about done.
Lately, he's got his nose out of joint over how few Combat Guys want to keep on with Big Block 36s. I keep telling him to do what you and some others (Doc Passen, maybe?) kept on suggesting a few years ago. Keep the current event, but make it for 21s (well developed by the RC buggy racers), wide open, any fuel, any shutoff, & kills win the match. Keep the rules SIMPLE. Kiwi |

Much as I love them, the unfortunate truth is that there simply isn't a support base either now or in the likely future that will allow the continued manufacture and use of same on a realistic basis. We will be reduced to a few rapidly aging adherants who have enough $s and/or machine skills to keep it going- for a while. When they are kaflooey, it goes the way of AMA B Team Race.
I was referring to my brace of X engines. They'll last me the rest of my life. And, since I'm not the least bit interested in flying today's Fast Combat... then no worries here. Though I can appreciate the skill and dedication it takes to do well in it... I'm not interest in doing it.
Bare: My above comment where I made mention that I enjoy the combat planes of the "Sizzlin' Sixties" more than "modern" stuff: Not that the old stuff flies better, which they don't, but because they're more fun to ME. Nostaglia thing as I age... 'ya know? |

Lykera Biomed S.A. is developing antibodies against S100 proteins that play roles in multiple processes and cell types that enable tumor growth and progression. The company expects its antibodies will be more efficacious than a more advanced small molecule inhibitor of an S100 protein.
According to CSO Francesc Mitjans, Lykera was founded by a team of former Serono S.A. employees who moved to the not-for-profit Leitat Technological Center after Merck KGaA acquired Serono and shuttered its Barcelona site in 2007. At Leitat, the team developed antibodies against novel cancer targets, and then spun out the technology into Lykera.

Glad you made it to Lima ok - don't want to visit the beach there though!!!
Finding Food, Wine and Friends in Lima
Trip Start
May 20, 2010
Trip End
Sep 05, 2011
Where I stayed
Day : 307
Temperature : Getting warmer!... about 21 degrees
Weather : Difficult to tell through the smog / fog / smoke!
After an incredible two days visiting Machu Picchu we returned totally zonked to Cusco. The journey back was a little eventful, when at Ollantaytambo our guide did not have our names on his list, and we were then shunted off to another "bus", some rusty old minivan, which had two other non-spanish-speaking tourists in it. We watched whilst our original bus then drove off, taking it's weary occupants back to Cusco, and we proceeded to wait and wait and wait again. After speaking to the driver it became clear that we were waiting for another train to arrive from Aguas Calientes, in order to collect more passengers. I knew from looking at the timetable in the train station that the next train was not due to arrive until about 11.45pm, which meant we would have to wait another hour!!! Having been up since 3am we weren't too happy. Grrrrr! However, it seemed that I successfully managed to communicate, in Spanglish, my displease at this situation, (ie a lot of ranting!) and within a few minutes money was exhanging hands between our new driver and another local man, and we were soon on our way to Cusco. We arrived just before one o'clock in the morning and were promptly dumped somewhere near the main square, before legging it, at top speed up the narrow, cobbled street to our hostel (because the driver refused to take us there himself...funny that!) as we nervously avoided eye contact with the half a dozen dodgy looking folk that were, I was convinced, malevolently lingering in various doorways in the dark! The mind goes wild in certain situations, especially when one is tired!
We spent the next day relaxing in Cusco, doing laundry, checking emails, catching up on the events in the news around the world, and organising our next few days. In the evening, we met up once again the Sanjib and Kirsty, the couple who we had met in Machu Picchu, and we all went out for a meal in the evening.
Having decided not to fly to Lima because of the cost, we took the delightful 21 hour bus journey instead. What a joy. After checking our luggage in, we were individually videoed and searched upon entering the bus. We were all then videoed again whilst sitting in our seats. We were then informed about the security details of the bus, which consisted of on board video monitoring, doors locking from the inside, and GPS location which meant that in the event of an unscheduled stop or stopping for too long (ie armed robbery!) then an alarm would be raised immediately. As you can imagine I felt much more reassured by this information!
We didn't sleep brilliantly on the bus due to the fact that the road wound it's way through the Andes for hours upon hours on end, resulting in the passengers being thrown from one side to the other as the bus rounded each corner. By the time we disembarked in Lima, we were once again exhausted. Fortunately, our hostel was fantastically quiet, and had super comfy beds and pillows, and the following night we slept like babies!
We both really enjoyed Lima. We stayed in the Miraflores district, one of the nicer areas. It was also marvellous to be wearing shorts for the first time in months! Except for the fact that our lovely golden tans have now disappeared, only to be replaced by pasty, white skin....we now look like we have gotten straight off a flight from the UK! There wasn't much basking in the sun to be had in Lima however, as the smog / fog / smoke was barely allowing any light to penetrate the sky! We did think about going down to the beach, but then one look at the awful film of brown, bubbly sludge slopping around on the surface of the water and we promptly changed our minds. We did however manage to go SHOPPING! How exciting this was!! You have to bear in mind that it has been 10 months since we have done ANY shopping for decent clothes, and we have been wearing the same tattered clothing for all this time....and so we spent 3 whole hours in the shopping mall, after which we had successfully bought some underwear for Kev, a T-shirt for Kev, and a nice trendy Billabong T-shirt, a cardigan and a new top for the beach for myself! Now, we just neeed to find more room in our rucksacks!!! Hmmmm!.....We also met up once again with Sanjib and Kirsty for Sunday lunch, and again for dinner on both nights that we were there. They had taken the more direct route of flying to Lima, and were interested to hear of our tales on the bus.
So now we have just under two weeks before our flights leave for the Galapagos, and so we have decided to head to northern Peru and hit the beach for 10 days......ah it's tough!

Been getting annoying low static modem like noise through headphones when loading songs and sometimes the noise remain for some time when music is playing, it began for a couple a days ago and also seem to occur only when wifi is on. Have you guys experienced this?
I get some crazy static popping sound on certain sound effects.

I replaced my phone, the popping is still there. Cant think what it can be. I cannot surely have happened on two phones with exactly the same issue. I am considering recording the sounds so I can establish if anyone else gets the same ones.

turn off wifi :]
I encounter this problem when I first open XBOX Music, it'll linger and pop for about 5 seconds, then it'll be fine from then on. Its essentially whenever I close the app out. Guess that's like it warming up, eh?
I want to work in revelations, not just spin silly tales for money. I want to fish as deep down as possible into my own subconscious in the belief that once that far down, everyone will understand because they are the same that far down.
-Jack Kerouac - 01-28-2013, 10:40 AM #7
Listen to the sample at own risk! The background hiss is from the bad recording quality but you clearly hear those crackle and pops around 1 minute and also a pop sound when the music starts. This is with Ativ S loading classical music from Xbox Music store. The volume on the phone was 10/30, so you can get very loud with this phone :) Sadly I didn't manage to capture those static sounds when wifi on. Do you here those crackle sounds on your Lumia 920 peachy001?
