Last year in October, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger refused to sign Assembly Bill 1058, citing that some of the national standards in the bill could potentially place Californians at risk. "Additionally, building standards should not be statutory," his letter said. "The Building Standards Commission was created to ensure an open, public adoption process, allowing experts to develop standards and periodic updates to the building codes."
Schwarzenegger further clarified his position in the final statement of his letter, issuing a new directive to the BSC. "It is imperative to expedite the greening of California's building standards," he explained. "As such, I am directing the California Building Standards Commission to work with specified state agencies on the adoption of green building standards for residential, commercial, and public building construction for the 2010 code adoption process."
With this new directive, the BSC began the process of enhancing and creating new green building codes. These codes surpass the current building standards and are intended to deliver significant improvements in water and energy usage. According to a press release issued in July 2008, the new codes push builders to reduce the energy use of their structures by 15 percent more than current standards.
"The new standards declare the minimum California will accept in environmentally friendly design - local jurisdictions and builders who wish to do more are applauded."
The new code contains standards for single-family homes, health facilities, and commercial buildings. It is also composed of optional standards that will become mandatory in the 2010 edition of the code. After 2010, the California Green Building Standards Code will be updated on an annual basis to ensure that the latest technology and methods of construction have been incorporated to always maintain a high level of standards.
In a statement issued by Gov. Schwarzenegger, he pointed out that cars and buildings are two of the leading users of energy. "We're already addressing cars, and these new building standards will ensure that California remains at the forefront of reducing our carbon footprint and conserving valuable natural resources while also protecting our economy.
"By adopting this first-in-the-nation statewide green building code, California is again leading the way to fight climate change and protect the environment," he applauded. "This is literally a groundbreaking move to ensure that when we break ground on all new buildings in the Golden State, we are promoting green building and energy efficient technologies."
ACCA ParticipatesThe Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) association has taken a strong interactive role with the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) as the state worked on creating a new long-term energy efficiency strategic plan. Russell King, P.E., ACCA's director of the newly opened West Coast office in Sacramento, Calif., sits on the advisory committee to the California BSC that reviews this code language.
"Currently, no HVAC requirements are identified within the body of the standard," said King. "However, it is anticipated that the energy efficiency initiatives being developed by CPUC and CEC will be referenced in this document."
According to King, these provisions imply that contractors need to follow recognized standards and good practices to ensure that properly sized and selected HVAC equipment are correctly installed in varied building applications. He also pointed out that waste products are to be minimized, which includes the proper handling, use, and disposal of refrigerants and lubricants. "Having standardized green building codes levels the playing field for builders and subcontractors and improved understanding and appreciation by the general public," King explained.
The BSC is currently waiting on other new adoptions to be completed before it publishes all of the new codes, which will be effective 180 days after publication. It expects to see the final codes effective no later than mid spring to early July of 2009.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. CreationAnna Watson first debuted in The Amazing Spider-Man #15 and was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.HistoryAnna Watson is a paternal aunt to Mary Jane Watson. For some time, Anna tried setting her niece Mary Jane up with her good friend and neighbor May Parker's nephew Peter, but something always seemed to get in the way of their meeting. Eventually, the two aunts' efforts paid off, and Mary Jane and Peter became romantic interests for a great many years. At one point, May moved in with Anna so they could help and look after each other with their growing age when Peter moved out to go to college at ESU.Following her friend May's supposed death, she moved in with Peter and Mary Jane. She found it odd that Peter would stay out for odd hours as well as his strange comings and goings. She thought he was having an affair, but this was later disproved to her all while keeping Peter's secret identity safe.When Peter and Mary Jane had temporarily moved away to Portland, Oregon, Anna came across the clone Ben Reilly and mistook him for Peter. After a clever cover story for why he was there and why Mary Jane was not with him, Ben came to the conclusion that there could not be someone looking like Peter Parker in New York running around, as it would raise too many questions. Ben then dyed his hair blonde to further distinguish himself.Upon May's eventual return, which had all been orchestrated by Norman Osborn (Including the "death"), Anna moved to Florida, all the while keeping in touch with May. She returned when May had been shot by a sniper's bullet and was present at May's wedding to J.Jonah Jameson, Sr.In Other MediaAnna Watson appeared in Spider-Man:The Animated Series where she is best friends with May Parker, and portrayed a deep love of her niece. Throughout the show, she voiced her disapproval of Mary-Jane's relationship with the unreliable Peter Parker.Anna Watson also appeared during the Spectacular Spider-Man.

FAIRBORN — The Fairborn Senior Center is hosting it's sixth annual George Artuso Memorial Golf Scramble on June 6.
"The outing was named in honor of our beloved president whom we lost in January 2008," said Executive Director Ellen Slone-Farthing. "He volunteered much of his time and believed in his community."
Artuso was a retired Chief Master Sergeant with the Air Force and an ROTC instructor with the Fairborn City Schools.
The scramble will be held at Twin Base Golf Course on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Tee off will be at 8 a.m. with lunch being served after eighteen holes of golf. Cost is $75 per person and the scramble will be played in teams of four people.
The event proceeds will help maintain the Senior Center services and recreational activities.
"Our mission is to provide activities and services to meet the needs of senior citizens in the Fairborn area, assisting them to lead independent and meaningful lives," Slone-Farthing said. "We provide personalized help to link seniors with the community resources to meet their needs or the needs of a loved one."
The center also provides transportation services to medical appointments, social service agencies, and local merchants and to the Senior Center. Through the Homemaking services they help seniors maintain a clean and safe home.
For more information or to sign up for the golf outing, contact Ellen Slone-Farthing at 878-4141.

"Our research indicates that the natural wind-driven spread of many species of trees will increase, but will occur at a significantly lower pace than that which will be required to cope with the changes in surface temperature," said Prof. Nathan. "This will raise extinction risk of many tree populations because they will not be able to track the shift in their natural habitats which currently supply them with favorable conditions for establishment and reproduction. As a result, the composition of different tree species in future forests is expected to change and their areas might be reduced, the goods and services that these forests provide for man might be harmed, and wide-ranging steps will have to be taken to ensure seed dispersal in a controlled, directed manner."
The new research, published in the journal Ecology Letters is based on a unique, fully mechanistic model developed to predict trends in plant spread. This model is the first to consider how projected changes in biological and environmental factors would impact tree spread in future environments. Predictions which were made until now were founded on past trends and did not take into consideration the expected future changes in the key biological and environmental factors that determine plant spread.
In Israel, the research has bearing on various native tree species whose seeds are dispersed by the wind, such as Aleppo pine, Syrian maple and Syrian ash. The model that has been developed will be useful also in predicting the invasive spread of alien tree species, such as the tree of heaven, into Israeli nat

How do we make handheld devices secure to login to a domain (mobile device management)? For example: if you have a laptop or if you are working from home using a desktop, you do a VPN and connect to your company's domain. Once you connect, only then you can access your work email, share point sites, timesheets, etc. So instead of laptops and desktops, how do we create/develop an app on mobile devices which can ensure 100% security to the environment which we are connecting to.i dont have any idea regaring this.Anybody know, just help me.
The problem is essentially establishing a VPN tunnel. The issue with that is that Android does not support the Cisco protocol/extensions out-of-the-box. Cisco have released versions of AnyConnect for phone brands (different kernels, with/without tun.ko, etc.) but that means your users would have to manually connect to the VPN first. You really do not want to implement your own VPN. In fact, you don't want to implement any cryptography whatsoever, since you are guaranteed to get it wrong.
Unfortunately, there's little automation that could be done without root access or support from Cisco (e.g., hooks to start connecting via an external intent). Given root access, you could just run the command-line
Of course, the easiest solution, if starting completely from scratch, would be to use Android's built-in VPN support. However, that's limited to a subset of L2TP/IPSec, which are not trivial to set up or that widely deployed.
Once the tunnel is established, the rest is just access to the local network.

Central Coast end ACL campaign with another loss
Central Coast Mariners ended their six-match group stage in the Asian Champions League campaign with a 1-0 loss to Tianjin Teda.
Played on a wet Central Coast Stadium surface, the Mariners faced an under-strength Tianjin outfit who did enough to grab all three points away from home.
The match was essentially a dead rubber with neither team being able to progress to the round of 16 but it was important for the Mariners to get a win after failing to grab maximum points in their last 10 competitive matches – they are now winless since January.
Tianjin's Mao Biao scored the only goal of the cagey affair with a low shot in the 65th minute that beat Mariners keeper Danny Vukovic.
The loss to the Mariners made their ACL record of two draws and four losses from six outings whilst Tianjin fared much better with two wins, two draws and two losses.

Adventures in Press Releases: 'Flavor Forecast 2009'
Categories: DiGregorio, Eating News, Featured
Every now and then I get a press release so entertaining that I feel I should share. Listicles are breeding fast and furious right now, because everyone likes to use the end of the year as an excuse to list predictions. The publicists at McCormick are no exception. They sent me their dramatically titled "Flavor Forecast 2009." It even came with a CD! Serious business! Honestly, the list is so wacky and obviously invented that I give them credit. It's almost like they were high while writing it...
"Welcome to tomorrow's flavors," chirps the booklet. We are about to experience the "10 emerging flavor combinations poised to transform and inspire America's menus." Alrighty then, are you ready?
- Toasted sesame and root beer
- Cayenne and tart cherry
- Tarragon and beetroot [Um, you mean beet, yes? Sounds cooler that way though!]
- Peppercorn mélange and sake [Ooooh, a mélange!]
- Chinese five spice and artisan-cured pork
- Dill and avocado oil
- Rosemary and fruit preserves

Illini Come Close to School Records at Texas Relays
March 30, 2013
Texas Relays Results | Stanford Invite Results | Bill Cornell Spring Classic Results
AUSTIN, Texas -- The Illinois women's track and field team wrapped up competition at the Texas Relays today. Freshman Morolake Akinosun set the second fastest 100m time in school history while both relays succeeded in their performances as well. Also, select Illini also competed at the Stanford Invitational and the Bill Cornell Spring Classic today.
"Today was a good day," head coach Tonja Buford-Bailey said. "The 4x100m ran well, considering we're still trying to piece the team together and get more opportunities to practice overall, especially exchanges. Morolake ran extremely well, almost setting the school record in the 100m. The 4x400m relay ran a half second off the school record as well. Also running a great race was Samantha in the 1,500m. It was her first time running the event and she ran a time in the school's top-10. Overall it was a really awesome effort by everyone. It was good to finally get good weather. The girls really did well."
Akinosun continued her success as a freshman at Illinois, placing sixth in the 100m with a personal best time of 11.29. The time is the second fastest in school history and is the first time an Illini sprinter has been in the top two in the event since 1998. Akinosun's mark also ranks in the top-five in the nation and leads the conference. Junior Samantha Murphy ran in her first 1,500m of her career at the Texas Relays. Murphy finished seventh overall in the event with a time of 4:23.12 which ranks eighth in school history.
The 4x100m quartet of senior Lauren Hollingsworth, sophomore Asia Thomas, Akionsun and sophomore Ashley Spencer finished fifth overall in the event with a time of 44.58. The Illini continued their success in the relays as the 4x400 squad of senior Marissa Golliday, Akinosun, Spencer and Thomas clocked a time of 3:31.63 which is a season best and ranks third fastest in the school record books.
At the Stanford Invitational, senior Courtney Yaeger finished third in the 10,000m last night with a time of 34:25.01 which almost resets the school record she set last season (34:23.60). Two Illini also ran in the 800m as redshirt junior Stephanie Morgan finished fourth overall with a time of 2:10.49 and junior Katie Porada placed seventh with a time of 2:11.27.
The Illini will travel to Tempe, Ariz., next weekend for Arizona State's Sun Angel Track Classic on April 5-6.

- Certiorari
- (sersh-oh-rar-ee) Latin for "to be fully informed." In cases in which there is no appeal as a matter of right, certiorari is a writ (order) by the appeals court to a lower court to send all the documents in a case so that the appeals court can review the decision. Certiorari is most commonly used by the United States Supreme Court, which grants certiorari when at least four Justices believe that the case involves a sufficiently significant federal issue.

The district ranks high in HIV cases
Increase in cases of HIV attributed to influx of pilgrims into Tirupati
Link ART Centres to come up at Madanapalle and Kuppam
TIRUPATI: Andhra Pradesh State AIDS Control and Prevention Council has set up in Chittoor one more Centre for Anti Retro-Viral Therapy (ART) to prevent the spread of HIV.
R.V. Chandravadan, Director of the Council, formally inaugurated the newly constructed premises of the Centre on Thursday.
He said the Chittoor district had a strong case for having the additional ART Centre for many reasons.
Largest district
It is the largest district with 66 mandals and a long border with other districts and States, it also accounted for the highest number of the HIV positive cases.
The reason he cited for the increased presence of the HIV positive cases in the district was the huge influx of pilgrims into Tirupati located in the district, from different parts of the country.
Mr Chandravadan pointed out that this had necessitated setting up of an additional ART Centre to deal with the problem.

I use the Little Noses bulb and it is much better than the old fashioned kind. I just use some saline drops (also Little Noses) first and then this thing sucks everything out of her nose. I also love that it comes apart so I can clean it really well.

Transport strikes hit Greek capital
ATHENS, Greece Buses, metro trains, trams and taxis were not running in the Greek capital Friday, snarling traffic as public transport workers walked off the job for a second day in an unrelenting barrage of protests against government austerity measures.
Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos criticized the repeated strikes and protests, which have included the take-over of government buildings and risk slowing reforms the country needs to qualify for bailout loans.
"This is a challenge at the heart of democracy," the minister said in Parliament, adding that "the image there has been in the last few weeks is one of lawlessness," and that blackmail was different from fighting for people's rights.
Venizelos said the government was prepared to assume the political cost of pushing through unpopular but necessary austerity measures.
Taxi drivers on Friday joined the second day of a 48-hour public transport strike, leaving private cars and motorcycles as the only form of transport in the Greek capital, while lawyers walked off the job until Oct. 19 and customs officers for 10 days. On Thursday, power company unionists occupied the electricity company's billing facility in an effort to prevent the issuing of electricity bills which include a new property tax.
Mounds of garbage have piled up on the capital's streets due to a blockade of landfill sites by municipal workers, with authorities turning to the courts to order the landfills opened.
A wave of strikes is expected next week, with seamen leaving ferries tied up at ports for two days from Monday and hospital doctors and teachers also walking off the job. The labor action is to culminate in a two-day nationwide general strike on Oct. 19-20, the second day of which will coincide with a vote in Parliament on new budget cuts including labor reforms.
The air traffic controllers' union called on its members to join the strike for both days, which would ground all domestic and international flights and leave country cut off from the rest of the world.
The union said significant delays being experienced by flights on Friday at Athens' international airport was due to a technical problem with a radar that forced restrictions on air traffic for safety reasons, and not due to labor action.
The government has been imposing repeated rounds of austerity measures as it struggles to meet the requirements to qualify for funds from a euro110 billion ($151 billion) international bailout loan that is preventing it from defaulting on its debts. Its international debt inspectors have said the country will likely receive the next euro8 billion installment of the loans in early November.
Athens has said it only has enough money to pay salaries and pensions until mid-November.
Public servants are the main targets of the latest reforms that include across-the-board salary cuts and the suspension of 30,000 workers on the state payroll with reduced salaries. Pensioners will also see more cuts and salary earners will pay higher taxes, while parliament has already approved an emergency property tax to be charged starting this month through household and business electricity bills.

Feeling Really Lucky? Try Betting On The 76ers
By editor
Originally published on Thu October 31, 2013 2:24 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.
Anybody who bets on the Philadelphia 76ers to win the NBA title has a chance at a serious payoff. Pro basketball started yesterday. Miami is favored to win the championship. Philadelphia, coming off a disastrous last season, is not favored. In Las Vegas, odds against them are 9,999-to-1. Asked how they came up with that figure, odds-makers say it's just the highest number their computers can take.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Inventive idea of the day: power by phone books
Summary:Every day, amid the flurry of product launches and announcements about the next big thing, a few items make us sit up, turn to our cubicle neighbor and say 'hey, this is kinda cool.' Here is the first in what we hope is a daily series.
Every day, amid the flurry of emails we receive about product launches, startup pivots and company news announcing their latest "innovation," a few items make us sit up, turn to our cubicle neighbor and say 'hey, this is kinda cool.' Here's the first in what we hope is a daily series highlighting one inventive idea, business plan, approach to design, architecture or city planning. Sometimes they'll be wow items and other times, like today, they'll be a small effort that if implemented on a national, regional or even worldwide scale could make a big difference.
How many old phone books are lying around your home or office? Or how many land on your doorstep or are delivered to your office before they are summarily tossed in the recycling bin or trash can?
Phone books either pile up at your house or in the landfill. Of course, there are efforts to encourage folks to recycle the phone books. The Berry Company, which publishes a lot of these directories, has a Think Yellow, Go Green recycling program. Under the program, the books are often converted into new products including building insulation, newsprint and paper towels.
In Oahu, they've put a spin on that recycling campaign by using the phone books to generate power. More than 170,000 old phone books were recycled on Oahu last year, reported the Houston Chronicle. The phone books will be recycled into fuel for Hawaiian Electric Company.
Covanta Honolulu, also known as the HPOWER waste-to-energy facility, processes up to 3,000 tons a day of municipal waste every day, generating 90 megawatts of energy for Hawaiian Electric Company—enough to meet nearly 8 percent of Oahu's power needs.

Pro-Russian supporters march with the Russian flag during a rally Saturday in Simferopol, Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Saturday the new Ukrainian government should stick to an agreement signed by the ousted president, signaling no change in Moscow's position over the Crimea crisis.
Tony Blinken, President Barack Obama's deputy national security adviser, said Sunday that a Russian threat to cease inspections of nuclear weapons as required by U.S.-Russian arms control treaties would be "a serious development."
Blinken said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he'd seen news reports of those Russian threats — made in response to U.S. sanctions and other penalties for Russia's seizure of the Crimea region of Ukraine — but that the Russian government had not communicated directly to the Obama administration on that matter.
Asked what Obama had accomplished so far in his efforts to deter or penalize Putin, Blinken said the president has been "mobilizing the international community in support of Ukraine to isolate Russia for its actions in Ukraine and to reassure our allies and partners."
Blinken said Obama has invited Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk to the White House on Wednesday to consult with him and to demonstrate U.S. support.
Blinked argued that the decline in value of the Russian ruble and the increased uncertainty about foreign investment in Russia are "exacting a real cost and a real consequence" for Putin's decision to intervene in Crimea.
Russian parliamentary leaders signaled Friday that Russia is prepared to annex Crimea.
A referendum will be held in Crimea on March 16 to decide whether the region should join Russia or remain part of Ukraine. But Blinken said if the result of the referendum is that Crimea joins Russia, then "we won't recognize it, and most of the world won't, either."

PH lawyers, civil society groups seek UN intervention on Sabah crisis
More News from Tetch Torres-Tupas
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—Philippine lawyers and other members of civil society groups have sought the intervention of the United Nations over alleged human rights violations in Sabah.
"We respectfully submit that you consider this urgent appeal in relation to the massive and gross human rights violations committed against Filipino refugees in Sabah by Malaysian state agents," the letters to Mr. Antonio Guterre, UN High Commissioner for Refugees and Ms. Navanethem Pillay, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights both dated March 21 stated.
Signatories to the letter include lawyer Harry Roque, Sister Mary John Mananzan of the Association of Major Religious Superiors of the Philippines, whistleblower Rodolfo "Jun" Lozada, Sulu Sultanate adviser Pastor Boy Saycon and members of the Concerned Citizens Movement.
Over a thousand refugees already arrived in Tawi-Tawi from Sabah since Malaysian security forces moved in to flush out members of the so-called ''Royal Security Forces'' of the Sulu sultanate who had intruded into Sabah last month in a bid to live in the land they claim as historically theirs.
The Regional Human Rights Commission of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (RHRC-ARMM) said Filipinos, particularly the Tausugs or Suluks as they are known in Sabah, had been shot, arrested and tortured even if they are not part of the Royal Security Forces.
In their letter, the signatories cited accounts of evacuees about the violations committed by Malaysian authorities. Sherilyn Viado, 20, working at a construction company, said she had to assert her ethnicity when Malaysian police ganged up on her.
"I told them I am not a Tausug but a Badjao," she said adding that they took her earnings and allowed her to return to the Philippines.
On the other hand, Ibrahim Alih, 38, said he failed to present travel documents. Malaysian authorities told him to run but knowing they will shoot him if he did, he said he stayed but the police authorities beat him. He said they only stopped when he told him he was a Badjao and not a Tausug.
Viado said Malaysian security forces were singling out people from Sulu.
Among the violations allegedly committed by Malaysian authorities include;
- Right against any discrimination
- Right to life, liberty and security of person
- Right not to be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
- Right against arbitrary arrest, detention or exile; and
- Right to a fair trial.
Aside from intervening on the crisis in Sabah, they also urged the international body to "remind Malaysia that it provide effective remedies and compensation to the Filipino victims of the massive and gross human rights violations committed against them by Malaysian state agents."

Despite inflationary pressures, largely due to currency depreciation, fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) major Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) registered a rise of 18 per cent in its net profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, at Rs.754 crore (Rs.638 crore). Cost pressures were managed dynamically through aggressive savings programmes coupled with judicious pricing.
Net sales grew 16 per cent to Rs.5,853 crore (Rs.5,027 crore), buoyed by an underlying volume growth of 9 per cent and all segments delivered double digit growth. HUL's operating profit grew 37 per cent while operating profit margin grew by 230 basis points.
Harish Manwani, Chairman, said: "We have delivered another strong quarter of competitive growth with improvement in margins. The results, delivered against a backdrop of an uncertain economic environment, are reflective of the strength of our brands, consistency in our strategy and relentless focus on execution. We will continue to manage our business dynamically to deliver competitive, profitable and sustainable growth."
While cost of goods sold rose 140 basis points, brand investment continued to be competitive with advertising and promotion spends at 11.8 per cent of turnover. Sales of the home and personal care segment grew 18 per cent, while foods business grew 12 per cent. Soaps and detergents grew 21 per cent while the Laundry segment grew in double digits across all brands. Skin cleansing saw strong double digit growth across segments.
The personal products segment saw broad based volume-led growth of 14 per cent with strong performance in skin and hair. In foods, tea growth was led by the premium portfolio with coffee too witnessing strong growth nationally while packaged foods grew 14 per cent.
"Inflationary pressures were managed through judicious pricing and aggressive drive on cost saving," HUL Chief Financial Officer R Sridhar told reporters in a teleconference.

To the editor: The second annual Brunswick Family Assistance golf tournament was played at the Sea Trail Maples course on Saturday, June 6, and was a roaring success.
For 28 years, BFA has supported the many needy families in Brunswick County with food, shelter, clothing, etc. to assist them during these difficult times. This year will be even more demanding as BFA will serve approximately 19,400 individuals and 6,800 households, while distributing more than 360,000 pounds of food.
To the editor: We the family would like to thank everyone who reached out to us after the passing of our beloved Gladys Myrie.
The outpouring of kind words, flowers, food and other gifts was so overwhelming that personally thanking everyone for each kind gesture would be almost impossible. Your kindness and generosity during this very trying time helped us as we tried to cope with this drastic change in our lives.
To the editor: When the big newspapers, like those owned by McClatchy, are faltering all around us, it's refreshing to see a small community newspaper thrive.
I was at Oak Island a few weeks ago and was completely fascinated by all the local news you cover in your paper. It is packed with interesting information about your town's people, your community issues and your activities.
I had such a good time reading it I had to share.
To the editor: Your recent article covering the Sunset Beach Town Council budgetary workshop was informative. Of particular interest is the recurring issue of garbage can pushback on Sunset island.
It appears town council is unsure of who should bear the financial responsibility for that service, and councilmen Ron Watts and Lou DeVita are at odds over this issue. It seems Watts, who happens to be in the resort rental business, is in favor of using town tax money to fund the work. DeVita feels the onus is on the property owners.
Last weekend, Brunswick County and other area high school students closed one chapter of their lives and began preparation to start another.
This time of year, lots of people are going to offer you advice as you head out on your latest journey. Many of us, who've already been there and done that, may have good thoughts to offer, but really, what happens next is all up to you.
Sure, the last 18 or so years of your life have been interesting, but what's around the corner may just blow your mind.
To the editor: I would like to thank Shallotte Police Chief Rodney Gause for the C.H.I.E.F.S program and for allowing my grandson Shar to be a part of it this past school year. Chief Gause worked with the students and even took the time to go on trips with them.
Detective Ed Marti and Sgt. Robert Gravino (and others from the Shallotte Police Department) did a fantastic job. They provided a thorough learning experience and a true bright spot in Shar's week.
Please keep this program at Shallotte Middle School. I am only sorry it does not extend to the high school.
Laura Lewis
Now that summer's (almost) here, I hope to catch up on my summer reading, starting with the stack of books I've accumulated by local authors.
Yes, I'd like to brush up on my summer tan or sunburn as it were, but personally I find nothing is more boring than "laying out," as my friends always called it. (Though I suppose "lying out" is more grammatically correct.)
Summer is here and with winter coats long since put away, many people are thinking more about suntans than they are the chance of getting the flu.
But just because cold weather has gone away, it doesn't mean the chance of getting the flu has passed us by. While the seasonal flu season is almost over, residents can still contract the H1N1 virus.

The Visakhapatnam Public Library has added another facet to it with the inauguration of the Regional Language Section, Vividh Bharathi. To begin with Malayalam and Tamil books are the new addition.
Inaugurating the section, Visakhapatnam Public Library Society President D.V. Subba Rao who was in the chair recalled the contribution of stalwarts from the other States, including Tamil Nadu and Kerala, for the development of the city.
Such contributions have made the city cosmopolitan in nature.
Visakhapatnam Steel Plant General Manager S. Eswara Murthy handed over a collection of books worth Rs.10,000 on behalf of Kerala Kala Samithi. The Tamil Kalai Mandram handed over some books as a token.
It announced a contribution of Rs.10,000 for acquiring books.
The idea of starting the section was that of society member M. Varahalu Chetty.
Philanthropist D.S.N. Raju announced a contribution of Rs.50,000 to the library. Visakhapatnam Cooperative Bank Chairman and former MLA Manam Anjaneyulu was felicitated.
Centre for Policy Studies Director A. Prasanna Kumar spoke.
Kerala Kala Samithi President K. Hari Das, former President George Thomas, former secretary of Tamil Kalai Mandram V. Dhivakar, Vividh Bharathi coordinator P.V. Ramana and L.R. Swamy participated.

Here's what I've been up to over the last few months.
Bog Oak A Treatise On Resurrection And The Afterlife I did side A of this huge downtuned EP. The band was so dialed that it was almost easy. We tracked at Sharkbite and mixed at Antisleep. This was an interesting mix–after I spent a lot of time making it bigger, meaner, whatever, I referred back to my rough tracking mix and realized that the rough was better! We got it right the first time. So I scrapped my mix and started again with a lighter hand, and I'm really happy with the results. (listen / session pics)
Power-Take-Off Unhinged I've known Gus since his days in GRIDS, and I've wanted to work with PTO since I heard their first released song. The band tracked this EP in a North Carolina practice space and I mixed. It's gnaaaaaarly. (listen)
Sie Lieben Maschinen June Gloom Josh Newton (Shiner, Every Time I Die, most other bands) and Steve Tulipana (Season to Risk) with great contributions from Chris Bolig (Cartographer, Replicator), Shannon Corr (Minot, Greenlight the Bombers), and 41 distortion pedals. This record's story is a post unto itself, but I tracked a lot of it and mixed, and directed traffic. Should be out early next year. (listen)
Puig Destroyer The baseball band got signed and did a full-length. Riley did the drums in LA, Mike tracked vocals in Chicago with Andrew Ragin, we tracked guitars and mixed at Antisleep. Fun as hell, as usual. (listen)
Tartufi Canyon We recorded "Sick of the Sirens" at Sharkbite and mixed at Antisleep. There's also a second song from this session, which will hopefully end up somewhere. I really like this band–another one that I wanted to record since I first heard them. So many layers. (listen)
A few more recent releases: Hellbeard Dark/Light, Disastroid Missiles. And some works in progress: Drunk Dad, Minsk, Baby Boy, Roman Cities, The Sunset Shipwrecks.
Some Tape Op gear reviews: sE X1R ribbon mic, Traynor DarkHorse 15H, Minifooger pedals.
And last month I installed this small but beautiful Neotek Elan II console. Handmade in Chicago, 16 mic inputs, 36 inputs at mix, sounds great. It's already been awesome to use the console for tracking and I'm figuring out ways to fit it into real-world mixing workflows. Everybody likes the idea of keeping it real by mixing on a console–ride faders as the mix goes down, commit and call it done–but in reality I do lots of recalls and jump between sessions over the course of weeks or months. But if you want to do an attended mix session and call it done when we're done, I'm down.
November makes a year since I opened Antisleep Oakland. To all the bands I've been lucky enough to work with during that year, new friends and old: Thanks. I love making music with you.

It's been half a year since I wrote here — as soon as the new studio was up and running, things got busy. But the new rooms have been great, both for tracking and mixing. They're comfortable, they sound good, everything's good. I also upgraded to Pro Tools HDX, and had Bob Hodas over to tune control room, which was a big improvement.
Here are some projects I've worked on over the last six months…
In November, A Minor Forest played their first show in 15 years. It was fantastic. Ken Thomas filmed and edited, and I recorded and mixed.
Kowloon Walled City / Batillus split KWC covered Godflesh's "Anthem" and our friends in Batillus covered Ministry's "Lava". Batillus stopped by Sharkbite for a day of tracking while they were on tour last year. I've wanted to record them for a long time, and I love how their track came out. (listen / session pics)
Hush Unexist Slow, enormous doom from Albany NY. This LP was a cool collaboration – Ryan Slowey and I planned out tracking together, then he tracked at Black Dog Studios in upstate NY, then I mixed. I'm really happy with the result. The record comes out in June. (listen)
Pins of Light "Lie Detector" 7″ Another band I've wanted to record for a while – we did a 7″ split (with Weedeater) for Scion AV. We tracked at Sharkbite and overdubbed and mixed at Antisleep. (listen)
The Loyalists First of the Mohicans Busted noise rock with electric cello, played by friends from a stack of previous bands. Tracked at Sharkbite, the band did vocals and other overdubs on their own, then mixed at Antisleep. (listen / session pics)
Vulgar Trade Gross Century After we finished the Loyalists record, their drummer Chad casually said "I play guitar and sing in another band and we want to record too." Turns out Chad's other band is rad! Fast, dirty hardcore with a mathy DC twist. We did drums at Sharkbite, and everything else at Antisleep. (listen)
A few more recent releases:
- Glose The Very Best of Glose
- The Atomic Bomb Audition Infinite Fires
- Puig Destroyer Wait for Spring
- Imperils Imperils
In progress: Tartufi, Power Take Off, Sie Lieben Maschinen, Doralice, Disastroid, Hellbeard, and probably a few others I'm forgetting.
After almost a year of planning and construction, the new Antisleep is go! LET'S MAKE RECORDS.
Ryan and Rob finished up construction in August. I moved in right away, and over the next 6-8 weeks got everything set up and wired. There's plenty more to do, but I've been tracking and mixing for a few weeks so I'm calling this thing done. Here are some more photos.
The studio is: Two rooms plus an iso closet; 16 inputs; Pro Tools 10; lots of good mics and amps; and it's literally right down the hall from Sharkbite Studios. I love working at Sharkbite, and I still plan to track there as often as possible — and now, I can run down to Antisleep mid-session to grab a mic or a pedal.
By the way, here are the rooms as I originally saw them.
Kurt Ballou was the first person I interviewed for Tape Op. People really enjoyed this interview, and I still get emails asking for a copy. So here's a PDF: Kurt Ballou, Tape Op #76, Mar 2010 (pdf)
And here's some extra Q&A that didn't make the magazine. Remember, these are outtakes so they're not very well edited and may jump around a bit. And this interview happened in July 2009 — I'm sure Kurt's techniques, gear, and opinions have evolved since then. Still, good stuff here! Enjoy.
When did you start recording seriously? You know, moving beyond 4-tracking…
I actually never had a 4-track. I had friends with 4-tracks and I certainly had an interest in that, but I never had any money. By the time I had enough money to afford a 4-track, I had enough money to afford an 8-track. So I had a Tascam TSR-8 and a Fostex 450 mixing board, which — I don't know if you've ever used one of those — the EQ on it has high, high mid, and low mid. It doesn't have "low." That's because there's no low end in the console! [laughs]
How old were you then?
I was probably around 21. I've been a late bloomer with everything I've done. And I've been, I don't want to say a slow learner, but I've been an independent learner. I never went down that internship or recording school path. I'm completely self-taught. It's been a blessing and a curse. Had I worked under someone else at some point, I would have maybe come upon some techniques and ways to do things much quicker than I have.
So yeah, mid-'90s I got an 8-track and started recording demos of my own music in my parents' basement. Then I started recording demos for my friends, then their friends heard them, then I was recording demos for people I didn't know, and then it became 7-inches, and then I started charging $10/hr and I would record near every weekend in my parents' basement.
Eventually I got a house with a bunch of friends in Allston, and built a studio there. I started with an 8-track, and by the time I left I had a 1″ 24-track and a Soundcraft Ghost.
Where was Converge at that point?
We've been together since '91. We were a high school band. The first album we formally recorded as an album [When Forever Comes Crashing] was recorded in that house. I recorded it, and Steve Austin from Today Is The Day came in and mixed it. He did a little recording — I think he did the vocal production and recorded some of the guitar tracks — and then he did the mix.
I went from being a hobbyist to a serious moonlighter during my tenure at that house. When it was time to renew the lease, my roommates were like "hey, you can't keep doing this. It's just too loud all the time." I'm recording Drop Dead, these smelly crust punks are hanging around the house, they're sick of it.
So I moved to Norwood and got a commercial space. I was there for five years. It wasn't an acoustically designed studio by any stretch of the imagination, but it was my own space, and I made a lot of records there — in a really trashy, bombastic kind of live room.
That started with the 1″ 24-track, then I went through several 2″ machines. I had a Soundcraft TS-12 console, which was great.
