Dale Merrill, M.F.A., Dean
Louise Thomas, D.M.A., Associate Dean
The College of Performing Arts brings together the William D. Hall and Marybelle and Sebastian P. Musco Conservatory of Music and the Departments of Dance and Theatre. This partnership strengthens each discipline, while positioning the College of Performing Arts as the cultural and aesthetic center of Chapman University. Students will enjoy the college's atmosphere, which combines scholarship, creativity, free expression and intellectual curiosity through both curricular offerings and a broad spectrum of cultural events. College of Performing Arts students also have many opportunities to perform at special events, such as Chapman's American Celebration, a Broadway–style musical review that serves as the university's largest annual fundraiser. Chapman University is in the construction phase of the Marybelle and Sebastian P. Musco Center for the Arts, a new performing arts complex on the Orange campus that, under the leadership of its Founding Dean and Artistic Director, William D. Hall, will serve the needs of our students and the entire community. The Musco Center for the Arts is scheduled to open in fall 2015.
Amy Graziano, Ph.D., Chair
Professors: Frelly, Hall;
Associate Professors: Atherton, Becker, Cogan, Coker, Dehning, Fong, Graziano, Heim, Holmes, Ivanova, Thomas, Wachs;
Assistant Professors: Sternfeld, Terry, Vazquez–Ramos.
Single Subject Teaching Credential in Music
Master of Arts in Teaching: Secondary Education—Music Education Program Emphasis
Single Subject Teaching Credential in Music
The single subject credential allows the holder to teach in a specific subject area. Music education students who intend to enroll in the credential program at Chapman may complete the professional education courses of the credential program after the bachelor of music is awarded or may include professional education courses as part of the upper–division undergraduate program. All professional education course work must be approved by an advisor in the College of Educational Studies. Requirements for the credential program are specified in the College of Educational Studies Public School Credential Program section of the graduate catalog. The normal residency for completion of the Bachelor of Music (pre–certification, music education) degree and required professional education courses is five years.
The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing requires candidates who are pursuing a single subject credential to verify their subject matter competence as a part of their teaching qualifications. This requirement must be fulfilled before entering the student teaching phase of the credential program. To fulfill the requirement, candidates must pass the music California Subject Examination for Teachers (CSET). The music CSET consists of three subtests, which may be taken over time, but it is recommended that the first subtest be taken during a candidate's first semester in the credential program. In addition, the student must achieve an overall GPA of at least 2.750 in the last 60 semester (or 90 quarter) credits of their completed degree program and must pass the CBEST examination prior to admission to the credential program. CSET and other testing requirements will be reviewed with each candidate by the education director when they first enter the single subject credential program.
Master of Arts in Teaching: Secondary Education—Music Education Program Emphasis
The Master of Arts in Teaching: secondary education program allows the candidate to obtain both the single subject credential and the master's degree through an integrated program of course work, fieldwork and student research. The College of Educational Studies has developed a specific Master of Arts in Teaching: secondary education—music education program emphasis, for those who wish to teach music education at the middle school or high school level. See the College of Educational Studies Master of Arts in Teaching section of the graduate catalog for more information.

Unfortunately for Gaston, an openly Gay man in the oppressive African nation of Cameroon, freedom stopped whenever he left the field. After years of police beatings, attacks from former teammates, and threats on his life, Gaston fled to seek asylum in the U.S., which eventually led him to Seattle and gave him a taste of the civil freedom that he only previously got on the field.
Gaston's story is one of a man who risked all so that he could be free to be himself. He is ready to embrace a Gay community he only read about or saw on TV. Above all, he wants desperately to get back into soccer.
In his home of Cameroon, a country of west-central Africa with over 18 million citizens, association football (soccer) dominates the male culture. Amateur football clubs abound, organized along ethnic lines or under corporate sponsors. The Cameroon national football team has been one of the most successful in the world since its strong showing in the 1990 FIFA World Cup. Within that world, Gaston Dissake was a star.
Gaston and I talked over coffee on a rainy afternoon in a café in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. He is polite and soft-spoken, and communicates well, despite his limited knowledge of English. He has a great smile and his face lights up when he talks about his favorite sport.
'I was a well-known soccer player and coach in my country,' he told Seattle Gay News. 'I've played many other sports – tennis, basketball – but soccer has always been my life.'
Gaston told me that, after many years of professional play and minor-league coaching, he became a free agent, playing for teams that needed a player for tournaments. He traveled throughout the African continent, Eastern Europe, and Asia.
In 2003, he explained, 'My life changed forever.'
Gaston and his teammates were in Hong Kong when, for the first time in his life, he acted on his homosexual urges. A practicing Christian and closeted Gay man, Gaston not only 'passed for straight'; he was straight, as far as he was concerned. Still, he says he knew that deep down inside, after having sexual relations with another man, he would have to come out as Gay.
When he returned home, he developed a relationship with Jonathan, another native of Cameroon. The men carried on for some time, and Gaston mustered up the courage to tell his mother about his relationship with his new lover and introduced Jonathan to her.
The meeting was not a pleasant one.
'My mother was not happy with the news, and she didn't want to believe I was Gay,' he recalled. 'She blamed Jonathan for making me Gay and said the young man had possessed me. She demanded I see a priest and prayed for the 'evil spirit' to leave me.'
His teammates didn't take the news any better. 'They became so outraged that they beat me,' he said. 'They accused me of deceiving them. They would go to my mother's house and threaten her.'
'2004,' he says, 'was a very difficult year.'
Homosexual acts are banned in Cameroon with a penalty of five years of imprisonment and a fine of 20,000 to 200,000 francs. More severe sentencing is likely when one of the offenders is under 21 years of age. Like many African nations, Cameroon is a conservative society in which same-sex acts are frowned upon and LGBT persons suffer great violence and imprisonment – and sometimes death.
In the years following his coming out as Gay, Gaston was arrested six times by the police. 'Each time I suffered severe beatings on the bottoms of my feet, plus humiliation and insults in every possible manner,' he said.
Whenever he was released from jail, he was thrown back out into a world where people on the street often abused him.
In 2010, Gaston's father passed away. His mother was now his full responsibility, and Gaston knew that something had to change in order for him to survive to be able to take care of her. After trying an ex-Gay-style exorcism to prove to his mother that he was Gay and nothing would ever change that fact, he and Jonathan emigrated from Cameroon to Colombia, and then to Panama to seek asylum.
'I chose Panama because when I did my research on the internet, I found the country to be very welcoming to immigrants from Cameroon,' he explained. 'But 30 days before Jonathan and I arrived, the process had changed.'
When the two men arrived in the South American nation, they were detained for 14 months while they solemnly waited to hear the outcome of their immigration case. During that time, Gaston said he was the victim of discrimination at the hands of the Salvation Army.
'Once the case managers figured out we were Gay, the Salvation Army no longer helped us,' he said. 'They were very bad to us. I think it is because of them that our plea for asylum got denied.'
Down and out and quickly running out of options, Gaston used his savings for the couple to escape Panama for Mexico, paying bribes as they went along.
Once in Mexico City, the couple was once more detained. 'The Mexican government asked us if we wanted asylum in Mexico,' said Gaston. 'I declined. I told them, 'No. I have to reach America.' But Jonathan, fearful of the drug cartels and the uncertain journey to the U.S. border, told me he would not come with me.'
To this day, Jonathan remains in Mexico City.
'He was afraid to try to come to the U.S., but I am brave and so I came,' he said.
Without his family, his lover, or any friends, Gaston plowed ahead, eventually making it to the Tijuana, Mexico/San Diego, California border. 'At last,' he thought, 'I've made it.'
At the border, Gaston – no longer fearful of anything – bravely walked up to the customs office and asked the clerk for asylum in the U.S.
Once again, he was taken into custody – only this time, something was different. Gaston knew his life was about to change for the better. For the first time in years, it seemed, luck was on his side.
'I said to myself, 'OK, I have reached the country of liberty, and things are going to get better,' he said.
Gaston was eventually transferred to The Northwest Detention Center, an illegal immigrant detention center in Tacoma, Washington that can hold up to 760 inmates. Gaston faced immigration charges and possible deportation.
Over the next five months, attorney Matt Sullivan fought, pro bono, to win Gaston asylum.
In February of this year, Gaston won his claim for asylum. Seattle Frontrunner members Ron Hochnadel and his partner Mike Gaeta then opened up their home to Gaston, who has been living with the men ever since.
'Even though he suffered all this persecution, Gaston has managed to remain a kind and thoughtful person who doesn't seem to harbor much ill will towards anyone,' said Matt Sullivan, Gaston's immigration attorney. 'He wants nothing more than to rebuild his life as a soccer coach and agent.'
Gaston is now ready to put his life back together.
'I want to find employment and I am taking English classes at Seattle Central Community College,' he said. 'I am new to Seattle, but I think it is a very nice city. I've met some good people and made friends easily.'
These days, Gaston doesn't play much soccer. In fact, he's just trying to get by and send money home to help take care of his mom. He said that he misses Jonathan from time to time and has found it hard to integrate into the local Gay scene because, for him, it is difficult to live as Gay out in the open after suffering so much violence in Cameroon. But he is willing to try – and after speaking with Gaston, one can't help but feel that he will persevere.
Ron and Mike are helping Gaston with his résumé. He speaks French, Spanish, and English and is ready and willing to work hard. Seattle's Rain City Soccer has donated money to help Gaston buy much-needed clothing as well as a pair of soccer shoes, and beginning this month, the International Refugee Committee is providing Gaston with a monthly stipend.
Gaston is leaving Ron and Mike's house this month to live in a small apartment of his own, so he is in need of all things one would need to furnish a new home. You can help. If you are thinking about upgrading your furniture, computer, kitchenware – anything – please consider Gaston. To make a donation, contact Ron Hochnadel at email@example.com to arrange where to bring your donations, or ask for pick-up.
'I want to make Seattle my home,' said Gaston. 'This is where I want to stay.'

Paul Tipene and Noel Karora (both 36) are being sought by
police in connection with several reported shoulder-surfing
incidents in Otago and Southland in the past few weeks.
Detective Sergeant Stuart Harvey, of Invercargill, said the
pair were targeting elderly victims via shoulder-surfing -
where an offender watched a person input their eftpos pin
The offender then distracted the victim, while his accomplice
stole the eftpos card.
The pair had North Island connections and one also had strong
links to the South. They had travelled throughout the country
and ''were quite transient''.
The pair had been staying in hotels and motels in the South,
and accommodation providers had been notified about the men,
he said.
Supermarkets had also been warned about the men, who appeared
to be targeting older people.
''If anyone in the public sees them, they are to ring us,
ASAP,'' Det Sgt Harvey said.
The pair are believed to be travelling in a green 1994 Nissan
Skyline, registration ASR626; a silver 1994 Subaru Legacy
saloon, registration UW3039; or a blue 2001 Subaru Legacy
saloon, registration FLD676.
Anyone with information about the pair's whereabouts is asked
to call 111, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

Yeltsin's Summit, Russia's Vale
President Clinton is meeting March 20 in Helsinki with his Russian counterpart, who is attempting a political comeback by blaming everyone but himself for Russia's admitted woes, demanding new Cabinet suggestions from his Prime Minister and openly defying public opinion by putting his chief of staff, the hated privatizer and shock therapist Anatoly Chubais, in charge of the country's economy with the title of First Deputy Prime Minister. Last July Clinton hailed Yeltsin's election victory as a "triumph of democracy." He would not dare to echo that boast today, if only because it's well known that the election was a fraud perpetrated on the Russian public: The Russians would not have voted for Yeltsin had they known he was such an invalid. Only extraordinarily tight government control over television enabled the stage managers to conceal his heart attack. But there is a deeper reason not to insist. The eight months of Russian "regency," during which the Czar's exorbitant powers were carried out by proxy, revealed the working of the system, the mechanism through which money first buys power and then fully exercises it.
It being taken for granted that the second reign of Czar Boris will be brief, who will take over, and how? The favorite in the succession stakes, the awesome Gen. Aleksandr Lebed, is eager to start the race at once, while his rivals ponder how to change the rules to prevent his victory. Yet, quite apart from Yeltsin's precarious health, can the system survive for long? When output slumps for six years in succession in a fall bigger than the Great Depression, when barter replaces monetary exchange and people have to wait three or more months to get their wages, the question is not whether this social caldron will blow up but why it hasn't exploded yet. Or, to put it in more positive terms: When will the pent-up discontent be transformed into a political movement from below, thus altering altogether the power struggle limited so far to a confrontation at the top among the privileged?
The struggle is so bitter because seizure of power means conquest of property, which, in turn, spells political clout. The installation of Chubais, darling of the international financial establishment, as chief privatizer at the end of 1991 and then economic overlord in 1994 meant favors for the new rich and filthy profits for the chosen few, notably off precious state property, almost given away. The man who presided over this swindle is now presented in the West as a virtuous reformer.
The direct political involvement of the main beneficiaries started at the beginning of last year, appropriately in Davos, Switzerland, mecca of the moneybags. At the time, Yeltsin's re-election was in trouble. Boris Berezovsky (who, starting with a car dealership, has built an empire that includes banking, oil and television interests) and six of his fellow profiteers (who control four of Russia's main banks), having grasped that a Yeltsin defeat would threaten their ill-gotten gains, decided to intervene, with Chubais as their man. Removed in mid-January, Chubais was back in six weeks as Yeltsin's campaign manager. His rich pals brought in their control of the media and, ignoring spending limits, millions of dollars--two of the honorable Chubais's close assistants were caught smuggling more than half a million in bank notes out of the Kremlin. The combined resources of state and private business produced a campaign whose bias beat all records for a supposedly "democratic" non-totalitarian country. That proved enough to romanticize Yeltsin and demonize the Communist candidate, Gennady Zyuganov; it also generated a smokescreen when the overstrained Yeltsin finally collapsed. In short, those interests did enough to insure the July 3 triumph.
Who pays the piper calls the tune. The financial backers staked an effective claim to gratitude. Chubais became the head of the presidential administration. In the Constitution, bullied through in 1993 after the shelling of Parliament, the Russian president got all the prerogatives of his Western counterparts without the checks and balances. With all other Rasputins removed and Yeltsin only very occasionally able to fulfill his duties, Chubais's position became crucial, his link to the throne strengthened through an alliance with Yeltsin's daughter, Tatyana Dyachenko. Hence the description of him as "regent" of the Russian transition. But this was not all. One of his cronies, the banker Vladimir Potanin, was holding the seat of First Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the economy and, the awkward Lebed ushered out, Berezovsb was appointed deputy head of the security council, the other seat of presidential power.
Berezovsky was likely exaggerating when he claimed that he and six other wealthy speculators own half of Russia, especially if one considers the oil magnates outside their circle; the natural-gas lobby, Gazprom (Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin's power base); the metal lobby; and the all-pervading mafia.
Even so, there is no question that the profiteers are now in positions of power. They may not be barons, but they are certainly robbers. Unlike their nineteenth-century Western predecessors, they don't build, they grab. They take over state property, make money on the overvalued bonds and, lacking confidence in their country's future, send profits abroad (the flight of capital in the past five years is estimated by Deputy Prime Minister Anatoly Kulikov at between $150 billion and $300 billion, which puts the I.M.F.5 Russian loan of $10 billion in proper perspective). Altogether the "New Russians," as the nouveaux riches are called, are still at the stage of feudal accumulation of joys and not the capitalistic joy of accumulation. Their conspicuous consumption, with their B.M.W.s and other forms of luxurious ostentation, can only shock in a country where little glitters outside Moscow and a quarter of the population now lives at bare subsistence level. No wonder Lebed, the self-appointed scourge of the oligarchy, has climbed to the top of the opinion polls.
"A democratic general is as rare as a Jewish reindeer breeder." The words are Lebed's and they suggest that the man is more complex than his bluff appearance, his guttural sergeant-major voice and his talent for one-liners ("He who shoots first laughs last") would imply. One is tempted to endorse his doubts about the democratic predilections of high brass, remembering that during the presidential election he himself wooed voters in the first ballot stage by attacking Yeltsin, knowing full well that he would come to the President's rescue a few days later. On the other hand, once in office he kept one pledge, showing courage as well as skill in bringing the bloody war in Chechnya to an end. This accomplished, he promised a thorough campaign against corruption, which, in the official company he kept, was a clear invitation to be kicked out.
Still, skepticism lingers about Lebed's will to fight the oligarchy, no doubt inspired by the elusive nature of his plans in this matter and by the vagueness of his alleged constituency--the mythical middle class. The even stronger reason for suspicion is the one feature he shares with the Yeltsin of the early perestroika era: the sheer thirst for power. We tend to forget that ten years ago Battling Boris was parading as the enemy of privilege and champion of equality. What will Lebed do if he reaches his objective?
This questioning of motives may be superfluous, since there is no guarantee that the rebellious general will be allowed to achieve his ambitions. True, if Yeltsin were to stand down for health reasons and a fair election were held in three months, Lebed would win it. He would defeat Zyuganov and Yuri Luzhkov, the tough Mayor of Moscow, who made pots of money on privatization (albeit without the blessing of Chubais). Of the two other contenders, Chernomyrdin looks too dull and Chubais is too detested. Yet judging by precedent, it is absurd to expect a fair electoral fight. Efforts are already being made to discredit Lebed and keep him out of the limelight. Indeed, one of the reasons for the promotion of his arch-enemy, Anatoly Kulikov from Interior Minister to the rank of Deputy Prime Minister in charge of tax collection, customs supervision and the drive against corruption may well have been to warn the general's potential supporters that if they put their money on Lebed, they do so at their own peril.
In theory, Lebed's opponents could go one step further . An agreement between the outgoing President and a majority in Parliament could alter the Constitution so that his successor would be chosen by Parliament and not directly through universal suffrage. For this deal to stand a chance, however, the approval of the Communists, dominant in the Duma, or lower chamber, is indispensable. True, out of dislike and fear of Lebed, Zyuganov and his followers have been driven recently to a rapprochement with Prime Minister Chernomyrdin, whose latest budget they approved after tough negotiations. It is idle, however, to expect them to strike a bargain with Chubais, their most bitter foe. In the circumstances, the most likely prospect is that Lebed will tour his country and seek prestige abroad; that his enemies will fight it out among themselves, prepare plots and keep Yeltsin on the throne as long as they can--as a mummy, if necessary. Meanwhile, the country totters on the brink of chaos. But is it not possible to imagine this stalemate being upset by a whiff of democracy, with the people's irruption on the political stage?
Why do they not rise? The reasons to rebel are not missing. Economic surveys read like disaster reports. Gross national product, which fell by about'half between 1990 and 1995, dropped by 6 percent last year. Industrial production, which had slid even more during the 1990-95 period, went down by another 9 percent. The collapse of investment and light industry is even more dramatic. True, these figures must be taken with a grain of salt, since a parallel economy is gaining ground. Barter, debt-swapping and hidden financial transactions are replacing normal exchange. Fiscal fraud has reached epidemic proportions. Companies don't pay taxes, either because they cannot afford to or because they speculate, "lending" money to the state by buying bonds. With its coffers empty, the state is slashing social services and delays payments. The elderly and disabled have to wait for pensions, public servants for their salaries. Industrial workers, whether in the private or public sector, fare no better. They get their wages after long delays and are often paid in kind, having to perform the task of salesperson as a second occupation. This trend reached its tragicomic climax when soldiers offered hand grenades as payment for goods instead of money. (No wonder the Defense Minister publicly proclaimed that he is head of "a disintegrating army and a dying navy.'')
The other drawback is more pedestrian. Just making ends meet is exhausting, and often involves travel to Polish or Turkish bazaars in search of cheap merchandise to peddle back home. With such handicaps, time is needed for a class to rise above its immediate preoccupations, for the workers to present their own demands as.part of a broader program likely to win the support of other sections of society. Indeed, a race against the clock is on in Russia. Will the political education of these potential shapers of a genuinely democratic society have a chance to ripen before discontent reaches explosive proportions and brings about a bloody dictatorship, a threat aggravated by Chubais's oversight of the economy? This is the puzzling and dangerous Russia that Boris Yeltsin is leaving behind as he crosses the Finnish frontier.
President Clinton, too, is coming to Helsinki with a new posture. He can no longer stick to his pal Boris at any cost. He must now look beyond Yeltsin, as everybody does, including the latter's supporters in Moscow. This new journey to the Finland station and the inauguration of a new policy thus marks an appropriate moment to assess the old one, based on unquestioned support of Yeltsin and his record in office.
That record is appalling. He and his shock therapists nearly killed the patient, destroying the old methods and instruments of production without replacing them with new ones. Russia is fast becoming a Third World country relying almost exclusively on the export of raw materials. The gap between rich and poor, which always existed, has widened dramatically. Russia is rapidly moving toward a system of two-tier health, housing and education. Crime is spreading like poison through the social body. A measure of the social degeneration is that you can hardly distinguish where legitimate business ends and the reign of the mafia begins. The physical degeneration is shockingly illustrated by the unprecedented six-year drop in life expectancy.
This decay has occurred under the auspices of the international financial establishment, under the supervision of the International Monetary Fund and with the full backing of Western governments. Whatever Boris did to cling to power--storming Parliament, invading Chechnya--the West was always there to say Amen. And all this on the probably wrong assumption that Yeltsin was the best bet for keeping Russia safe for profit. Those who have cherished the illusion that Western foreign policy is somehow connected with moral principles and the rights of man no longer have any excuses. The last years and months have taught us a lot about Russia's democracy and ours.

Re: 1080i
I have the same problem with the EDID based 1920x1080 interlaced mode that my TV reports. Basically, my guess is the driver doesn't calculate the 1080 when the TV responds with 1920x540 interlace. So, the resolution that the driver sets up is 540interlaced with a virtual desktop size of 1920x1080, which ends up showing the top portions to the TV at 270lines of resolution.
Using this modeline for my TV:
ModeLine "1080i3" 148.4 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1094 1125 +hsync +vsync interlace
Gives me 1920x1080 interlaced output. Basically I doubled all the values for the vertical info from the EDID and also doubled the clock rate (from 74.18 rounded up). From the logs, this effectively gave me:
1920x1080 interlace at 60hz, which I think is correct for 1080i.
Beta driver 9742 is the first release that has enabled me to play videos via XV/XVMC over DVI without lockups on PCI-E or onboard 6150! So I'm super happy about that, although the jitter problems still persists for interlaced videos. The quick and dirty solution for me on the jitter/stuttering was just to deinterlace, which wasn't necessary with 8183. Searching and playing around, my guess is something got changed with vertical syncs after 8183... the jitters doesn't happen at the same spots everytime, sometimes it's smooth and othertimes stuttery, so perhaps a timing issue. With mythv, turning on opengl v-sync smoothed things out, but causes mythtv to crash after each video, so for now I'll stick with deinterlacing 1080i content for 1080i output (upgraded to FC6 so 8183 isn't a viable fallback anymore).
I figured perhaps it was a speed problem, but this happens with 6150 onboard, 6200 TC, 6600 and 7900GT. The jitters were there with VGA/Component output too, so not limited to just DVI.

Never underestimate the doggedness of an insurance company in guarding its own treasury from malpractice claimants. Even when the patient wins, you can often count on a multi-year battle in the appeals courts to collect what you are owed.
For our firm's client Sharon Burke, an eleven-year odyssey has finally ended in her favor, after a second trip to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.
Ms. Burke's malpractice case concerned a misreading of her MRI scan that caused a fateful delay in finding a problem in the arteries feeding blood to her brain. The delay led to a disabling stroke for her. Read more details here.

Edward, King of England; Jonathan North

|edited by Jonathan North.
|More information:
"Throughout Edward's short reign the young ruler kept a journal, a detailed diary recounting events in his kingdom. It is a fascinating record of Tudor England through the eyes of its monarch. The diary narrates all the momentous events in the young king's life but also observes the wider world, noting down news from England and keeping a watchful eye on Ireland, Scotland and mainland Europe."
"The diary is a chronicle of Tudor life. Edward reveals an increasing awareness as his reign progresses, showing an interest in religious reform, war, commerce and political machinations. He gleefully recounts the fate of traitors and rebels and ponders on the ups and downs of Scottish politics. But he also notes down items which have a personal interest for him - an earthquake in Croydon in May 1551, presents from France, jousting on boats on the Thames."
"Sometimes terse, sometimes astute and calculating, the diary is a faithful record of six years in English history. An age in which political and religious parties rushed to secure their influence over the boy king whilst still darker forces waited in the wings, with religious revolution and rebellion never being far away."--Jacket.

Power Saving Mini-PC from Israel
The ENC-iGLX is a tiny PC computer based on AMD's Geode LX processor; about the size of a paperback, the ENC-iGLX is available under the Fit-PC brand with Gentoo or Ubuntu Linux preinstalled, although users can order Windows if they prefer.
The Fit-PC by Israel's CompuLab consumes a frugal 3 to 5 Watts of power, according to the manufacturer. The PC comes with an AMD LX800-CPU clocked at 500 MHz on a mini-mainboard by AMD, and has 256MB RAM. Thanks to the PC's x86 architecture, any popular Linux distribution, and deven Microsoft Windows will run on the machine. The integrated Geode LX Display Controller supports display resolutions up to 1920 x 1400 pixels. The 2.5 inch hard disk has a capacity of 40GB. External devices can be attached via two USB 2.0 ports. The Fit-PC has two Fast Ethernet connectors, something really special in the tiny PC class.
Tiny power-saver with Linux preload: the Fit-PC (source CompuLab).
The "ENC-iGLX" is available directly from the manufacturer's website for US$ 285, along with the similarly configured "ENC-X270". It has an XScale PXA270-CPU clocked at 312 MHz, 512MB Flash memory and 64MB SDRAM. In addition to two network ports, the "ENC-X270" also has 802.11 (b) WLAN functionality. It is even more frugal than the Fit-PC consuming just 1 to 3 Watts per hour according to the vendor. The ENC-X270 is also available directly from Compulab where it is listed at an RRP of US$ 180.
(Jan Rähm)
Watts per hour?Since Watts is defined as Joules per second, how can something have Watts per second? I guess you just meant Watts. A 1-3 Watt PC is excellent though - would make a very "green" server!

By James Slater: World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight king Vitali Klitschko and his October 16th challenger Shannon Briggs met face-to-face at a press conference today in Hamburg, Germany - further hyping the fast-approaching rumble. And both men seemed utterly filled with confidence; especially Briggs!
Looking as light as he has in years, the 38-year-old even removed his top at one point, so those in attendance could see his impressive physique. The Cannon also looked at Klitschko as he made some big boasts. For his part, Vitali smiled and looked his usual calm self - even thanking Briggs for taking the fight at such short notice at one point. It really was the New York challenger who had all the aggressive things to say.
I really feel for you, Briggs said to Klitschko. You have made a bad choice [of opponent]. You are going to meet an adversary that you have never met before. I can hit, box and dodge my opponents punches. I have never prepared so well for a bout. When I have finished with Vitali, they can bring on Wladimir immediately.
It was only after Briggs had said his piece and left the table that the WBC champion was permitted to get a word in!
It is not so easy to find an adversary for me or my brother, Vitali said in his familiar accent. Shannon accepted immediately to fight me and I thank him for that. But when I hear him say he is going to propel me into retirement, that just makes me laugh. I am ready and I am going to show him that I deserve to wear this belt that has been worn by Tyson, Lewis and Muhammad Ali.
Most people already accept Dr. Iron Fist is a worthy WBC champion. But is Briggs a genuinely worthy challenger for the famous belt? Yes, Briggs has clearly done his work in training and his big words today seem to prove he means business - but can he really expect to beat a man who has been so active when he himself has had just four rounds of action since the summer of 2007? To me, the inactivity factor on the part of Briggs will play a huge part in the outcome of this Saturdays fight.
Briggs has some boastful words to back up, no doubt about that, and judging by his attitude and physical condition, the former linear champ is ready to give it his best shot on Saturday evening. If, however, he was hoping to rattle the champion and get under his skin today, he failed. Vitali, as classy a guy as you could wish to find in the sport, was his usual polite, self assured self.
Personality-wise, these two are as different as can be!

2001 Pontiac Aztek
"With atrocious proportions wrapped in plastic body cladding, the Aztek looked like a station wagon stretched out by a car bomb," Brauer said. His description may sound harsh, but he's not alone in his assessment.
In 2007, the Aztek was listed in Time magazine's "50 Worst Cars of All Time." Three years later, on the "50 Worst Inventions" list, it placed three spots behind asbestos. The automotive website Edmunds.com placed it at the top of its "100 Worst Cars of All Time" collection, in which they decried the Aztek's "utter hideousness" and called it "the only car on the list to kill an 84-year-old car company."
1960 Plymouth Valiant
Unlike most cars on this list, the Plymouth Valiant was very successful throughout its production. "The Valiant was well-engineered and sold in large numbers between 1960 and 1976," Brauer said.
But an ugly car is an ugly car, and the Valiant was exactly that. "Its styling in the first few years was busy and lacked cohesion," he said. "Time has only emphasized the bad body-lines."
1999 Isuzu VehiCROSS
The Isuzu VehiCROSS, a compact SUV, fulfilled its mission from a performance standpoint. The styling was another matter, and some likened it to "a Tylenol capsule on wheels," Brauer said.
But many disagreed. The VehiCROSS appeared on the cover of the May 1999 issue of Motor Trend and won a place on its "Top 10 Sport Utilities" list for styling. But as Brauer pointed out, "the VehiCROSS was supposed to be an example of the future of SUV styling. It's 14 years later, and we haven't seen anything like it since."

Seahawks stun Packers on Hail Mary
Golden Tate shoved a Green Bay defender out of the way, wrestled another for the ball and was awarded a disputed touchdown on the final play. But it was another 10 minutes before the game actually ended, when the Seattle Seahawks and the stunned Packers were called back on the field for the extra point.
THAT HAPPENEDThe NFL's replacement official debacle hit a new low Monday night in the Seahawks' 14-12 win over the Packers. See the controversial call.
Replacement ref rage may have peaked Monday night.
Just when it seemed that NFL coaches, players and fans couldn't get any angrier, along came a fiasco that trumped any of the complaints from the weekend. The Seahawks' 14-12 victory featured one of the most bizarre finishes in recent memory, and was certain to reignite frustrations over the locked-out officials.
''Don't ask me a question about the officials,'' Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said. ''I've never seen anything like that in all my years in football.''
''I know it's been a wild weekend in the NFL and I guess we're part of it now,'' he said.
Russell Wilson threw the 24-yard touchdown pass to Tate. The crew of replacement officials agreed that Tate caught the pass.
''We both had possession of it. I don't even know the rule but I guess the tie goes to the receiver,'' Tate said.
Asked later if he got his hands on Wilson's pass first, Tate wasn't so sure.
WHAT'S GOING ON?Touchdown? Touchback? See how it all unraveled Monday night.
''I think so. ... Oh, well maybe he did. But I took it from him,'' Tate said.
Wilson scrambled from the pocket and threw to the corner of the end zone as the clock expired. Tate shoved Green Bay's Sam Shields out of the way, then wrestled with M.D. Jennings for possession. It was ruled on the field as a touchdown and after a lengthy review, referee Wayne Elliott came out from under the hood and announced ''the ruling on the field stands'' and CenturyLink Field erupted in celebration.
Seattle (2-1) won its second straight, while Green Bay (1-2) and saw its streak of wins in six straight road openers snapped.
Wilson's heave came at the end of a final frantic drive after Seattle had previously missed on a fourth-down attempt from the Green Bay 7 with 2 minutes left. The turnover on downs appeared to end Seattle's hopes and cap an impressive second-half comeback by the Packers and Aaron Rodgers, who was sacked eight times — all in the first half.
''I was just trying to keep possession of the ball. The guy who was fighting me for it, he's strong. I was just trying to hold onto it until our guys pulled them off of me,'' Tate said. ''I didn't know if they called touchdown, interception, incompletion. I didn't know what was going on. Couldn't hear anything and I just tried to keep fighting for the ball.''
Elliott told a pool reporter after the game that the play was ruled as simultaneous possession that was confirmed by the replay official.
''They both possessed it,'' Elliott said.
NFL fans are a special breed, and they bring their own brand of craziness on game day.
The Packers were far from convinced that Tate had possession. Jennings said he had the ball pinned to his chest the entire time. A handful of Packers players began venting on their Twitter accounts right after the game, posting protest messages to their followers — many of them too profane to print. Offensive lineman T.J. Lang even challenged the NFL to ''fine me and use the money to pay the regular refs.''
''Just watching in the back room, I think if you asked Golden Tate to take a lie detector test and ask him did he catch that ball or did M.D. catch that ball, M.D. caught that,'' Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings said. ''It was clear as day ... at least that is what my eyes saw.''
Seattle instantly celebrated while the Packers argued with anyone in a striped shirt. Both teams were eventually shoved to the sidelines as Tate stomped through the end zone in celebration. Following the review, Elliott's announcement sent the stadium into delirium and even more confusion ensued until the teams finally returned to the field for the extra point.
''From what I understood from the officials it was a simultaneous catch. Tie goes to the runner. Good call,'' Seattle coach Pete Carroll said.
Rodgers had quite a different opinion.
''It was awful. Just look at the replay. And then the fact that it was reviewed, it was awful,'' he said. ''That's all I'm going to say about it.
''We shouldn't have been in that position.''
WHO SETS THE CURVE?Check out the FOXiest fans from stadiums across the country and tweet us your photo.
It was Tate's second touchdown of the game after catching a 41-yard TD in the second quarter to give Seattle a 7-0 lead. He finished with three catches for 68 yards, while Wilson was 10 of 21 for 130 yards.
Green Bay averted disaster when John Kuhn fumbled on the Packers first play after Seattle missed on fourth down from the Packers 7, but center Jeff Saturday recovered. The Seahawks held and forced Green Bay to punt from the 4 with 57 seconds left. The 41-yard punt set Seattle up at the Green Bay 46 with 46 seconds remaining.
Wilson hit Sidney Rice for 22 yards on a slant then went for Tate in the end zone but the ball was batted away with 18 seconds left. He threw over the head of Evan Moore on second down leaving 12 seconds remaining and missed Tate again at the 5.
Wilson took the final snap with 8 seconds remaining. He appeared to be looking for Rice on the right side of the end zone, but rolled left and threw for Tate, who was in a crowd of three Packers defenders. His shove of Sam Shields was obvious and it was never clear who had possession between Tate and Jennings.
''I just ran my route on the backside. Wilson came back and wanted to give me one more chance, especially after I dropped the first one and I just competed,'' Tate said. ''I make sure I practice on high balls and catching balls at the highest point. Thankfully I came down with it.''
Others spoke their mind by tweeting.
EYE CANDYWe're not just watching the field on Sunday. NFL cheerleaders provide the perfect sideshow.
Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman tweeted ''These games are a joke,'' while NBA MVP LeBron James tweeted ''I simply just LOVE the NFL to much to see these mistakes. I'm sick like I just played for the Packers''
Wisconsin State Senator Jon Erpenbach tweeted NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's office phone number, saying in a separate tweet that if the ending Monday did not spark an end to the lockout ''this season will be a joke.''
Notes: The eight sacks of Rodgers in the first half matches the most in his career for any game. He was sacked eight times by Minnesota in 2009. ... Seattle DE Chris Clemons tied an NFL record with four sacks in the first half. Derrick Thomas had four sacks in the first half against San Diego in 1992. ... Green Bay WR Greg Jennings finished with six catches after being a question mark coming into the game with a groin injury.

SEATTLE - Early in the second half Saturday afternoon, Washington forward Jon Brockman came down from a shot attempt and cracked UCLA's Alfred Aboya in the forehead with an elbow. Aboya needed three stitches to close the wound.
A few seconds later, Brockman hit two free throws that gave the Huskies an early lead in the second half.
"Brockman turned right into him and ripped open his head and the foul was on us," UCLA coach Ben Howland said after the Bruins' 86-75 loss to Washington.
That's kind of what life is like for 13th-ranked UCLA when it reaches the shores of Lake Washington these days. It's painful and fruitless.
The Bruins lost their fifth consecutive game at Bank of America Arena as well as their grip on first place in the Pac-10.
Virtually every game here for Howland's Bruins is hair-pulling, but Saturday's was like a 40-mile drive through bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Not only did the Bruins feel they were facing an athletic Washington team and 10,000 of its supporters, but that they also had to overcome the three officials. Washington (15-4, 6-1 Pac-10) shot 43 free throws (making 36) to UCLA's 15.
Was it because of the way Washington's quick guards penetrated the paint and drew contact from UCLA defenders? Depends on whom you asked.
"Refs," was how UCLA freshman Jrue Holiday put it. "We were getting hit just like they were getting hit. I don't know what else to say. I mean, I'm a freshman. I'm not getting anything and I accepted that a long time ago."
The free-throw discrepancy didn't help UCLA's cause, but neither did failing to score for nearly five minutes near the game's end.
After Darren Collison hit a couple of free throws with 6:13 left, UCLA didn't score again until Canyon High's Jerime Anderson hit a little floater with 1:20 left.
The score went from 67-66 Washington to 79-66 in that time.
Somewhere in there, Collison dribbled a ball off his foot and the Washington student section got to chant, "overrated."
Washington got balanced scoring — 24 points from guard Isaiah Thomas, 16 points from guard Justin Dentmon and 18 from Brockman.
UCLA (15-4, 5-2) got balanced futility. Josh Shipp scored 25 points, but none between the 13:21 mark and the final, meaningless seconds.

Serial ATA interface disk drives are designed for easy installation. With a Serial ATA interface, each disk drive has its own cable that connects directly to a Serial ATA host adapter or a Serial ATA port on your motherboard. Unlike Parallel ATA, there is no master-slave relationship between drives that use a Serial ATA interface. Because of this, there is no jumper to set to make a Serial ATA drive a master or slave on its cable, as it will be the only drive connected to that data cable.
You can use a Serial ATA drive in the same system with Parallel ATA drives as long as both interfaces are supported on the motherboard or with a host adapter. This makes it easy to add Serial ATA compatibility to your existing system without removing existing Parallel ATA disk drives.
What You Need
Refer to your computer system documentation to see if your system supports Serial ATA on the motherboard and to locate the Serial ATA connector. If your system does not have a Serial ATA connector on the motherboard, you must purchase a Serial ATA host adapter that is compatible with your computer and operating system and install it with the appropriate device driver according to the host adapter manufacturer's installation instructions.
Handling Precautions
Attaching Cables and Mounting the Drive

Configuring the BIOS
Close your computer case and restart your computer. Your computer may automatically detect your new drive. If your computer does not automatically detect your new drive, follow the steps below.
Microsoft Operating System Installation Instructions
For detailed information about installing a Microsoft operating system on your new Seagate drive, refer to the Microsoft Knowledgebase Article references below. To locate an article, go to http://support.microsoft.com/ and enter the article number in any search box on the Microsoft web site.

If the drive isn't being recognized while installing a pre-Service Pack 2 version of Windows XP or a pre-Service Pack 4 version of Windows 2000, you may need to install RAID controller drivers for the SATA port on the motherboard or the SATA controller card that the drive is connected to.

Upgrading Your System: Additional Storage or Transferring Your Data to Your New Drive
A new drive is often an upgrade to an existing system. It could be additional storage or a replacement for an existing drive. In either case, the physical procedures are the same as described above. Since the operating system does not require a fresh installation, preparing your drive for use is easier. For additional storage in Windows, you can use the Disk Management utility. If you need to transfer your data (sometimes called data migration or clone) you can use the Seagate utility DiscWizard.
If your drive is not working properly, please visit the SATA Hard Drive Troubleshooter.
A great first step is to download SeaTools diagnostic software.

HOUSTON -- CPSofficials say the five-year-old boy who was found beaten and malnourished in a closet has been released into the care of his great aunt.
He was released from Children's Protective Services custody on Thursday, officials say.
Investigators said it was March 27 when the child was found in his diaper in a small closet by his 16-year -old brother at a home in Spring. The teen confronted his father, Bradley Bleimeyer, and they got into a fist fight.
Deputies arrested and charged Bradley Bleimeyer and the victim s stepmother, Tammi Bleimeyer, with felony child endangerment.
Investigators said the boy weighed about 30 pounds and was found with his bones popping out and skin peeling off his back.
The child s biological mother said she was unaware of his living conditions and told KHOU11 News she was not allowed to see the boy, who is her only son.
Family members said they think the boy was living in those conditions for one year.
Now the boy's relatives are thanking the 16-year-old stepbrother for making the discovery.
The biological mother visited the child while he was in the hospital and sought custody, but a judge granted temporary custody to the great-aunt instead.

I'm going to use the excuse that I'm Canadian
So I'm going to write about NHL instead of March Madness.
You want to fight about it?
I just can't not say something about the return of You-Know-Who against the Rangers tonight.
That's right.. Heeee'sss bbacckkkkk
And what does this mean?
The Penguins win the Stanley Cup!
well.. maybe. Settle down there.
Crosby is one of the best players in the league.
He changes the game. He changes his team.
With the Penguins climbing and challenging the Rangers for the Atlantic Division crown and they are 4th in the Eastern Conference anything could happen..
BUT. Crosby won't be coming out of the gate with a solid 20 minute set. He's not ready for that. The Penguins can't risk another set back. He needs to be eased into NHL game speed again.
Put him Power Plays.
It's safer. The Penguins need help in that area.
And he can adapt slowly while still contributing to his team
Plus his team will be riled up with his return.
Prediction: 10th Straight Win Tonight for the Pens.
Oh and Lebron had a real fan last night!

First – the business stuff. If you'd like to run through a not-complete list of jobs, clients, projects, click here.
The Personal Stuff
I am currently rethinking that "about" stuff. And, thanks to the comment from Jeanne (below) I'm adding more about me.
I have a passion for the frontier west – from about 1800 to 1880. Most of my trips are to historic sites in America – many of them unknown to most. Walking where history happened feels a lot like experiencing the events myself. My sister and I try to get in at least one long history trip a year – sometimes two if we're lucky.
(The photo is of me back in my skinny days – the "surgeon" at Bent's Old Fort, Colorado, is suggesting he cut off my finger to cure my headache!)
We've seen strange things. Like ghosts.
We've seen them at Fort Union, North Dakota and Fort Bowie, Arizona, and heard them at others (Washita, Hovenweep, Cochise Stronghold). My sis actually got a photo of "smoke" coming out of the skeleton of a tepee, although there was no actual smoke, no fire, nothing – just the poles set up to create a tepee.
On one trip we traveled to the back-of-beyond (think dirt ruts, stream beds, off the grid) to see a rock where two troopers in Custer's 7th Cavalry carved their names and date, on their way to the Little Big Horn. When we drove across the cattle grate to enter the little parking area, we both got the shivers – there was something so strange about it that we were worried that we crossed some invisible barrier to another time.
I don't know if time travel is possible – but all of the fiction books I do my best to work on are about traveling to another time. Something about it feels so very right. If not time travel then perhaps alternate realities? Past lives? Some of the people in history feel so real to me I wonder if I knew them once upon a time . . .
Other Stuff
I know I've written more than a dozen books and hundreds of magazine and web articles.
Beyond that . . . .
I love research
My passion is the history of the American west
I'm a cat person
I wear purple a lot (does that mean I'm old?)
I'm an Emily Dickinson fan
Always loved Dylan (Bob and Thomas)
I listen to period music when writing
I'm currently into lime green things
I live in a cottage
I grow herbs and tomatoes and flowers
I ponder
