Mesa 7.12, Linux 3.2 Likely For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Published on 02 November 2011 06:48 AM EDT

Yesterday at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Orlando, Canonical employees and others tried to hash out the general requirements for the X.Org stack to be found in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
The key components likely making up this stack in the "Precise Pangolin" release for next April are:
X.Org Server 1.11
- xorg-server 1.11 has been out since before the release of Ubuntu 11.10, but they didn't ship it then over not wanting ABI breakage with the graphics drivers and needing to wait around for AMD / NVIDIA (but namely AMD with their Catalyst driver) to support the new ABI. By the time Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is released, xorg-server 1.12 will likely be here, except they will still be on version 1.11.
There's some interest in seeing X.Org Server 1.12 in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, since the various input / multi-touch work should
land. If 1.11 is still in use, the input work will have to be back-ported to its code-base. In X.Org Server 1.12 there might also finally be RandR 1.4, which would provide per-CRTC pixmaps and the ability for NVIDIA to finally support RandR 1.2+ from their binary blob. This would be really nice too, but we probably won't see it until Ubuntu 12.10.
Linaro also has some various ARM-related DRI improvements they are wanting to land in X.Org Server 1.12. So there's a chance we might see 1.12 ready in the Precise Pangolin, but more than likely it will be version 1.11 with a lot of patches back-ported on top.
Linux 3.1/3.2
- The Ubuntu kernel team will be figuring this out on Wednesday, but they are debating between the
Linux 3.1
and 3.2 kernels to be used in Precise. Hopefully it will be the
Linux 3.2 kernel
and that's what it's likely to be, but there's a chance they may be ultra-conservative and ship with Linux 3.1 instead.
Mesa 7.12
- Canonical is likely to ship Mesa 7.12 (or it will be Mesa 8.0 should the OpenGL 3.0 support be complete before year's end). However, they are reserving the right to potentially still rely upon Mesa 7.11 if the 7.12/8.0 release is very late or not up to their expectations. This would be a huge bloody loss if 7.11 is still in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The open-source Mesa / Gallium3D drivers have been advancing at a very brisk pace and there's already so many improvements in Mesa Git over 7.11, even back in October the Git snapshot was far superior to the 7.11 release. Even if 7.12/8.0 is late, it would be better shipping a Git snapshot as overall the improvements have been going great and Git master is relatively sane.
DDX Drivers
- The X.Org drivers to be included in Ubuntu Precise will be whatever's the latest at the time of feature freeze in February. Likely the latest stable xf86-video-intel and Git snapshots on the Radeon and Nouveau drivers.
- A Wayland Display Server session for Ubuntu will be held later this week in Orlando.
Old Mesa Drivers
- Ubuntu developers are looking at packaging up the old Mesa 7.11 drivers that were dropped in Git recently (VIA, Savage, Matrox, etc) and offering them through a
(or equivalent) package. Mesa developers have kept their OpenGL driver loader backwards compatible so that these defunct DRI1-only drivers can still be loaded on a modern Mesa stack without replacing it completely.
Updates During The LTS Cycle
- With Ubuntu 12.04 LTS being supported on the desktop now for five years, Canonical is more worried about enabling new hardware support after the April release. What the plan is now is to backport new kernels and the X/Mesa stack to 12.04. In the Ubuntu X world, what they are looking at doing is simply rebuilding the latest Mesa/X packages of new Ubuntu releases and drop that into the Precise repository in time for the LTS point releases. In other words, the stack of Ubuntu 12.10 would be rebuilt and dropped into the 12.04 repository, 13.04 packages would be rebuilt and pushed back into 12.04, etc.
This is a more sane approach than trying to back-port all new hardware enablement to the LTS versions. The Linux kernel is also expected to be upgraded in the LTS cycle in order for new hardware/driver support.
There's still some items to be figured out with this new LTS management, such as how to let the user upgrade their X/Mesa stack in Ubuntu 12.04 but might not want to move to a newer kernel, or restrict all drivers from being upgraded if they are concerned about regressions, etc. This will hopefully be figured out in other UDS-P Orlando sessions this week.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hydrocycle is a bicycle-like watercraft, and the name was already in use in the late 1890s.[1] Power is collected from the rider via a crank with pedals, as on a bicycle, and delivered to the water or the air via a propeller.[2] Seating may be upright or recumbent, and multiple riders may be accommodated in tandem or side-by-side.[3] Buoyancy is provided by two or more pontoons or a single surfboard, and some have hydrofoils that can lift the flotation devices out of the water.[4][5][6] Brand names include Seacycle, Hydrobike, Water bike, Seahorse(Cross Trek)[7] and itBike. Kits exist to convert an existing bicycle into a hydrocycle temporarily.[8]

Narendra Modi's candidature from Varanasi will help BJP gain more seats in eastern Uttar Pradesh as well as neighbouring Bihar and lay the foundation for an NDA government, his close aide Amit Shah said today.
Formally launching Modi's campaign in the constituency by inaugurating a swanky election office here, the BJP PM nominee's pointsman in UP claimed it was a "one sided" contest and Modi will win "by the biggest ever margin" in the country's electoral history.
"The next government at the the centre will be formed by NDA and its foundation will be laid down from Uttar Pradesh as well as Benaras (Varanasi)," Shah said addressing his maiden press conference since he was appointed last year as in-charge of Uttar Pradesh, a crucial state in the poll arithmetic as it sends 80 MPs to Lok Sabha.
He also distanced the party from slogans supporting Modi prepared by twisting religious chants which have sparked fears of communal polarisation, saying the party was not taken into confidence and such things should not be done.
Shah remarked that the slogan 'Yeh to pahli jhanki hai, Kashi Mathura baaki hai' that did the rounds after the Babri Masjid demolition at Ayodhya, has 'never been a slogan of the BJP'.
BJP is also under attack for party workers using slogans like "Har Har Modi, ghar ghar Modi" and "Kan kan mein Modi..." The prime ministerial candidate contesting from here will "not just influence the purvanchal region of UP but also help in winning the seats in bordering Bihar region," Shah said.
Shah skirted questions on whether Modi will give up Varanasi seat as he is also contesting from Vadodara in his home state of Gujarat, in case he wins from both the constituencies.
"The decision will be taken by BJP. The party will also keep in mind the issue of Varanasi's development (while deciding on which seat Modi will retain)," he said.
He said even before Modi's name was announced from Varanasi, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate had visited the city and took cognisance of pollution in river Ganga and the poor urban infrastructure.
"The high points of Modi's rule in Gujarat is cleaning up of rivers and improving the urban infrastructure. I am sure Varanasi will benefit from his experience," Shah said.
He dismissed the issued of expulsion of BJP veteran Jaswant Singh for contesting as an Independent from Barmer, saying when chances of winning from a particular seat are high, then the "line" of those who wish to contest becomes longer.
"We should not give much importance to it. This happens in every election. You can check your records," he said.
On questions that Congress is yet to decide its candidate from Varanasi, he said it should be put to Congress President Sonia Gandhi.

The Story Of Three Silk Road Cities - KHIVA
On the outskirts of Moynak we hit the trouble zone. We barely find 80 petrol, but no
ATM and no sign of any other way to get cash.
After we feed our metal horses we order a plate of mant? in a local bistro.
While we eat we are approached by a group pf foreigner: Chinese, Brazilian and
Spanish riders on an organized tour from China to Portugal. The crowd gets bigger:
Phil is riding solo from the UK to Magadan, and he stops to say hello. We meet him
again in the next town, 2 hours later. We still cannot find petrol and he is out of
cash. He has a full tank and we have the moneys, so we decide to reunite forces and
continue together to Khiva, the first of the three Silk Road cities that have
survived a cruel past.
Khiva offers not only food for brain, but also treats us with some of the tastiest
breakfasts in existence. Our merry group enjoys morning kebaps with tomato salad,
meat pies called somsa and tons of strong black tea. !
Every morning the stalls in the market start smoking. Some double for a mini-bakery
on wheels, their tandoori ovens full of meat pies spreading an irresistible smell
into the air.
Khiva has some of the best shashlik of Ce?tral Asia, bits of met-in-your-mouth meat
rolled in a thin layer of juicy fat, then charcoaled to perfection for under a
Even if the town has been beautified by the soviets into an open air museum, the
ancient Khorezm khanate has retained much of its culture. Artisans still embroider
colorful suzani, carve wood into delicate furniture, paint on silk or rice paper
with coffee or tea.
Surrounded by the Kyzylkum desert, Khiva is made out of two very different areas:
the Itchan Kala (the old town, which contains monuments built during 6 centuries)
and the more modern Dichon-Qala, where mots locals live and where drinking water is
pumped from dubious-looking canals.
The bazaar is the liveliest part of Khiva with great produce on display since 6 in
the morning to about 6 in the afternoon
But the tourists are temped to come here for the monuments: mosques, mausoleums,
Koranic schools, all restored with controversial techniques in the 50s to give a
coherent idea about the past splendour.
To visit on foot we leave our bikes parked in the inner yard of our hostel, a
typical Khorezmian house.
Once of the loveliest sights: the unfinished minaret, covered in mosaic.
Khiva is most charming in the surreal haze of the sun setting.

The centerpiece of the downtown Coral Gables shopping district, lined with trees and busy with strolling shoppers, is home to men's and women's boutiques, jewelry and home-furnishings stores, and a host of exclusive couturiers and bridal shops. Running from Douglas Road to LeJeune Road and Aragon Avenue to Andalusia Avenue, more than two dozen first-rate restaurants offer everything from French to Japanese-fusion cuisine, and art galleries and the Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theater give the area a cultural flair. If debating Miracle Mile versus Bal Harbour or Lincoln Rd or the Design District, check out the others first.

'Pope of Pop' Phil Ramone recorded and produced the majority of contemporary music's biggest names. Burt Bacharach, Bono, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon and Frank Sinatra are just a few of his names on his client list. Ramone has passed away at the age of 79 following heart surgery.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Music
Keywords: Phil Ramone, music producer, Aretha Franklin, Grammys, Stevie Wonder
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic online) - Winning a phenomenal 14 Grammys, there was little doubt that Ramone would be ensconced in the world of music. A violin prodigy, he began studying music at the age of three. At 10, he performed for Queen Elizabeth II.
Ramone decided that performing wasn't for him and turned his attentions to making other musicians sound good. He opened his own studio, New York's A&R Recordings, and developed a friendship with Atlantic Records' renowned engineer and producer, Tom Dowd.
Ramone made his own distinctive brand across most all types of music, embracing the old and the new, working across all genres of music and served as chair of the board of trustees of The Recording Academy.
Ramone would turn his attention to music for the stage and screen. His scores for Broadway and off-Broadway productions included "Chicago" and "The Wiz." Soundtracks that he produced for the silver screen included such hits as "Flashdance," "Ghostbusters" and "Midnight Cowboy."
And in television, he produced and supervised music for television specials such as the Oscars, Elton John at Radio City Music Hall, "The Jim Henson Hour" and "The Muppets at Walt Disney World."
Self-effacing, Ramone said his success was due to the talent he surrounded himself with. "It's all about the raw material," he told CNN in 2005 from his home in Westchester County, New York. "You have to be prepared for anything that comes."
"Today we lost one of the true musicians, innovators and geniuses of the record industry," musical composer and producer Quincy Jones said. "His immense talents were only surpassed by the gigantic size of his heart."
Stevie Wonder, who worked extensively for Ramone on his many Grammy-award winning albums, declared, "What a great man, what a kind spirit, such an incredible producer." Calling Ramone "the star of stars behind the stars." "Truly a tragic loss for us on earth but what a wonderful blessing for heaven."
Singer Aretha Franklin said in a statement, "This is so shocking. I just performed for his tribute in December . Truly one of the great names in music has gone on, but the melodies will remain."
Barbra Streisand recalled working with Ramone in 1967 when she did a free concert in New York's Central Park and noticed "his brilliance at capturing sound," she said. They would later work together on the film "A Star is Born" and later the soundtrack to "Yentl."
"Phil had impeccable musical taste, great ears and the most gentle way of bringing out the best in all the artists he worked with," Streisand said. "The monumental recordings he produced will endure for all time."

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav rebuked expelled Janata Dal (United) leader Sabir Ali for deflecting between parties and for following the leadership of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Yadav was addressing mediapersons in Patna and announced the candidature of some of the new members in the party when he criticised Ali's support to Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal-United (JD-U).
"Those people who have cheated the ideals of social justice and righteous ideology under the leadership of Nitish Kumar are now being punished by god, we are not doing harm to them," said Yadav.
Former Janata Dal-United (JD-U) Sabir Ali was expelled from the party on March 24 for praising Narendra Modi.
Ali was expelled for letting down his party's policy to fight against communal forces that are symbolised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
Janata Dal-United was taken by surprise when Ali, party's candidate from Sheohar constituency of Bihar said Modi's policies are good in Gujarat and his work for development in the state is also laudable.
Ali had joined BJP on Friday. However, the party cancelled his membership a day later after his induction created controversy.
Earlier on Friday BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi had demanded Ali's de-induction on grounds that he has been named as one of the alleged accused in the murder of music mogul Gulshan Kumar and was a friend of Indian Mujahideen Chief Yasin Bhatkal.
On Friday, directly attacking Ali, Naqvi had tweeted "Terrorist Bhatakal friend join BJP, soon accepting Dawood".

Guestbook comments from the owner
The location and home were both incredible. The handicapped accessibility helped with my mother being along and having problems with stairs.
We enjoyed the wildlife, barbecue and proximity to the YMCA which we joined for daily fees and used for its many programs for the kids and adults.
John provided assistance by phone a couple times suggesting restaurants and hikes. It was nice to have someone local to help direct us around. The meals we had in places he suggested were wonderful. We look forward to coming back.

Excellent Choice!
beautiful views, beautiful home!!
Wonderful views!
Great views, nice open floorplan, no bathtubs
The only complaint I have is there 2 bathrooms with showers, no bathtubs. I have young kids (ages 1 & 3). This was inconvenient for us and had I known ahead of time, may have actually been a dealbreaker. Beds were uncomfortable for my husband & I, but then again, we are kind of picky/spoiled with a tempurpedic at home.
Location is gorgeous with close proximity to the YMCA.

Prep tennis: 4A District 1 Tournament
The duo will meet today in the 4A District 1 tournament singles championship at Mount Vernon High School in a rematch of last year's title game, which Mietzner won 6-4, 6-0.
It was his first victory over Chung.
Mietzner, a junior, reached the title game with wins over Kincaid Norris (Snohomish) and Arlington's Trent Sarver, the No. 1 seed out of the Wesco 4A North. Chung swept Mount Vernon senior Roland Farrell in straight sets and then defeated former Cascade teammate Jimmy Hua -- who now plays for Kamiak -- 6-1, 6-1.
In the consolation games today two pairs of teammates will be playing to stay alive for the district's third and final state berth. Kamiak teammates Joseph Lee and Hua will play in one match while Sarver faces fellow Eagle Connor Ghirardo in the other consolation match.
In the doubles tournament it will be an all-Wesco 4A North affair, with Mount Vernon's Casey Goodwin and Kyle Frederick meeting the Snohomish team of Andrew Ivelia and Jory Strickland in the district championship. Goodwin and Frederick defeated Ryan Tsuji and Thu Yein of Lynnwood and Kamiak's Dominic Lee and Garrett Peterson. Ivelia and Strickland needed three sets in each of their matches to take care of a pair of Jackson doubles teams in Josh Yi and Bence Dare and the No. 1 team from the Wesco 4A South Peter Cung and Luke George.
At Mount Vernon H.S.
Singles--Quarterfinals: Trent Sarver (Arlington) def. Joseph Lee (Kamiak) 6-7, (5-7), 6-4, 6-2; Ben Mietzner (Jackson) def. Kincaid Norris (Snohomish), 6-0, 6-1; Jimmy Hua (Kamiak) def.

Northrop Grumman yesterday "unveiled" the first of two X-47Bs being produced for the US Navy's unmanned combat air system-demonstration (UCAS-D) programme.
The ceremonial event marked the completion of aircraft assembly about 15 months after the Northrop won the UCAS-D contract
A formal roll-out ceremony will be held in the third or fourth quarter of 2009, which is shortly before the first flight event.
The X-47B remains the US military's principle vanguard for a potential new age of stealthy, autonomous combat aircraft. The UCAS-D programme aims to prove the viability of operating such vehicles from aircraft carrier decks.
"Unveiling the first X-47B UCAS aircraft signals a sea change in military aviation, made possible through the navy's vision and leadership," said Scott Winship, Northrop VP and navy UCAS programme manager.
The UCAS-D appears to have survived a budget crisis in June, and the USN has recently expanded the programme to include an autonomous aerial refueling demonstration.

RITZVILLE, Wash. -- Washington State Patrol Troopers said a collision involving ten vehicles killed one person Friday. Cleanup was expected to block Interstate 90 well into the evening.
The wreck happened seven miles east of Ritzville.
Around 1:00 p.m., WSP had originally reported two people were killed in the wreck but later corrected their report, saying one person with life-threatening injuries later died after being transported to the hospital.
Authorities said between six and ten others were also sent to the hospital, some with serious injuries.
WSP said both westbound lanes of I-90 near the Tokio Exit could be blocked until 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. Traffic was being directed around the wreck through a five mile detour. The closure was affecting I-90 between Mile Post 229 and the Tokio Exit.

IBT Laboratories to Launch New Pneumococcal Antibody Avidity Test at AAAAI Meeting, Booth 729
Test builds on company's suite of tests to evaluate immune function
According to IBT President,
IBT offers the widest range of allergy and immunology tests of any laboratory worldwide. The company has an expanded scientific team dedicated specifically to assay development. Its pipeline of new tests slated for launch during 2009 includes traditional and molecular assays based on the latest findings in allergy/immunology research.
Other new tests that the company will feature at AAAAI include the ProGenotyper(TM) Filaggrin Mutation Detection Test, the latest in IBT's expanding menu of molecular assays, and the T-Cell Rx(TM) assay, which adds to IBT's expansive line of tests for adverse drug reactions. The Filaggrin test builds on the company's growing list of tests to investigate skin diseases. It determines whether a patient who presents with the common skin disorders atopic dermatitis or ichthyosis vugaris has a mutation that prevents the skin from working as an effective barrier to allergens and infectious agents. Current research suggests that patients with this mutation may benefit from targeted therapy. The new T-Cell Rx(TM) test assists physicians in assessing patients who have experienced a delayed drug reaction.
IBT will present two scientific posters at the conference:
- Saturday,
9:45-10:45 am– # 41: T Cell Immunity Assessed by Intracellular Cytokine Analysis Following Stimulation of Whole Blood or PBMCs with Microbial Antigens of Mitogens
- Sunday,
9:45-10:45 am– # 405: Presence of IgG Anti-IgE Autoantibodies in Chronic Urticaria and Atopic Dermatitis
About IBT Laboratories
A clinical diagnostic and research laboratory specializing in immunology and allergy testing, IBT tests patient samples for physicians, hospitals, and commercial reference labs nationwide. IBT also provides biomarker and immunogenicity testing services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and life-science researchers.

In Allen County, the unemployment rate for February was 7 percent, which was a decrease from January's 7.6 percent and 8.8 percent from a year ago. The labor force decreased by 200 people, while the number of employed increased by 200 and the number of unemployed decreased by 300.
Mercer County had the state's lowest unemployment rate in February, 4.3 percent, which was down from January's 4.4 percent and 5.1 percent a year ago. Seven counties, including Auglaize, Mercer and Hancock counties, had unemployment rates below 5.5 percent in February.
Four counties, but none in the region, had unemployment rates at or above 12 percent. Those rates compare with a statewide unemployment rate of 7 percent in February.
Across the state, rates decreased in 86 counties and stayed even in two counties. This comes a month after rates increased in all 88 counties in January.

Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897)
Klavierstücke, Op. 118
Robert Schumann must seem in many ways typical of the age in which he lived,
combining a number of the principal characteristics of Romanticism in his music
and in his life. Born in Zwickau in 1810, the son of a bookseller, publisher and
writer, he showed an early interest in literature, and was to make a name for
himself in later years as a writer and editor of the Neue Zeitschrift für
Musik, a journal launched in 1834. After a period at university, to satisfy
the ambitions of his widowed mother but still showing the wide interests of a
dilettante, he turned more fully to music under the tuition of Friedrich Wieck,
a famous teacher whose energies had been largely directed towards the training
of his daughter Clara, a pianist of prodigious early talent.
Schumann's own ambitions as a pianist were to be frustrated by a weakness of
the fingers, the result, it is supposed, of mercury treatment for syphilis,
which he had contracted from a servant-girl in Wieck's employment. Nevertheless
in the 1830s he was to write a great deal of music for the piano, much of it in
the form of shorter, genre pieces, often enough with some extra-musical,
literary or autobiographical association.
In health Schumann had long been subject to sudden depressions and had on one
occasion attempted to take his own life. This nervous instability had shown
itself in other members of his family, in his father and in his sister, and
accentuated, perhaps, by venereal disease, it was to bring him finally to
insanity and death in an asylum. Friedrich Wieck, an anxious father, was
possibly aware of Schumann's weaknesses when he made every effort to prevent a
proposed marriage between his daughter Clara and his former pupil. Clara was
nine years younger than Schumann and represented for her father a considerable
investment of time and hope.
At first, when he lodged in Wieck's house in Leipzig, Schumann had shown
little interest in Clara, and in 1834 he became secretly engaged to Ernestine
von Fricken, a pupil of Wieck and illegitimate daughter of Baron von Fricken, a
Bohemian nobleman. It was for her that Schumann wrote his Fasching: Schwänke
auf vier Noten, a set of pieces based on the four musical notes of his name,
S C H A, which, by a lucky chance, also formed the name of the von Fricken's
home- town, Asch. It was this work that was later given the title Carnaval:
scenes mignonnes sur quatre notes. By the following summer Schumann had
discovered the secret of Ernestine's illegitimacy and begun to transfer his
affections to the fifteen-year-old Clara Wieck.
Wieck was to do his utmost to prevent a marriage that can have brought Clara
little happiness, but after considerable litigation the marriage took place and
the couple were married in the autumn of 1840, a year in which Schumann was to
write an incredibly large number of songs, before turning his attention, at his
wife's prompting to the larger forms of orchestral music. His subsequent career
took him and his wife first to Dresden and in 1850 to Düsseldorf, where he
briefly held his first official position as director of music for the city, an
office in which he proved increasingly inadequate. In February, 1854, he
attempted to drown himself, and was to spend the remaining years of his life in
a private asylum at Endenich, near Bonn. He died there on 29th July, 1856.
Schumann wrote his Arabeske in 1839, dedicating it to Frau Majorin
Friederike Serre auf Maxen, to whom he also dedicated his Blumenstück. Major
Serre and his wife were originally friends of Wieck and in 1837 he had taken his
daughter to stay on their country estate at Maxen to avoid Schumann's attentions
to Clara, which the Serres in fact encouraged. In the autumn of 1838 Robert
Schumann left Leipzig for Vienna. His relationship with Clara Wieck had reached
a point of some intensity, but her father's entrenched opposition to anything
that might interfere with his daughter's career as a pianist and his very
reasonable disapproval of Schumann as a possible son-in-law, had led to a great
deal of subterfuge, with a clandestine correspondence between the lovers,
carried on as best they could. Wieck had, in any case, insisted that, if the
couple were to marry, they should not remain in Leipzig, where Schumann was
editor of the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik. At Clara's suggestion it was
proposed that the journal be moved to Vienna, if sponsors could be found there,
and this was the principal object of Schumann's journey, hard as it was to be
separated from his beloved at a time of some anxiety in their relationship.
In Vienna Schumann was to busy himself with a number of new Compositions,
including the Arabeske, Opus 18, written towards the end of the year and
designed for women, as opposed to the robuster Humoreske to be written in
the following year. The composer claimed that his aim was to capture the
feminine market for piano music in Vienna, a remark that need not be taken too
seriously. At the same time he continued to be influenced by Christian
Schuburt's book on musical aesthetics, in which C major, the key of the Arabeske,
was identified with the childish and simple, leaving intenser passions to
the sharp keys. The Arabeske is well enough known. Couched in rondo form,
its gently lyrical principal theme frames two slower, minor key episodes.
Schumann wrote his Kinderszenen in 1838. As he told Clara, he had
composed thirty little pieces, and from these he selected a baker's dozen, all
of them designed to express an adult's reminiscence of childhood, or, as he said
in a letter to Clara, a reflection of her comment that he sometimes seemed to
her as a child. The music is technically undemanding, of ingenuous simplicity,
the titles self- explanatory, without the cryptic implications of Papillons and
Carnaval, an outstanding example of what Schumann was able to achieve in
forms as limited as this.
The Fantasiestücke of 1837, like the Davidsbündlertänze in
two volumes, came at a time of estrangement between Schumann and Clara Wieck.
Anna Robena Laidlaw was born at Bretton in Yorkshire in 1819 and educated at her
aunt's school in Edinburgh, moving with her family to Konigsberg in 1830. She
won a considerable reputation and on 2nd July 1837 played at a Gewandhaus
Concert in Leipzig, when Schumann made her acquaintance, later dedicating the Fantasy
Pieces, Opus 12, to her. She married and retired from the concert platform
in 1855 and died in London in 1901.
The gentle D flat major Des Abends (In the Evening) is followed by the
well known F minor Aufschwung (Soaring). Warum? (Why ?), again in
D flat major, is gently brief, to be followed by the capricious Grillen (Whims)
in the same key. The second book opens with Schumann's own favourite In der
Nacht (In the Night), in F minor with a major central section. Fabel (Story),
in C major, is suitably varied in mood as the narrative unfolds, followed by the
rapid F major Traumes Wirren (Troubled Dreams). The book ends with an F
major piece, Ende vom Lied (End of the Song), marked Mit gutem Humor and
moving to a livelier B flat section before the return of the first material and
key and a hushed chordal coda.
In 1853 Brahms embarked on a concert tour with the Hungarian violinist Eduard
Remenyi, during the course of which he visited Liszt in Weimar, to no effect,
and struck up a friendship with the violinist Joseph Joachim, through whose
agency he met the schumanns then established in Düsseldorf. The connection was
an important one. Schumann was impressed enough by the music Brahms played him
to hail him as the long-awaited successor to Beethoven, and his subsequent
break-down in February 1854 and ensuing insanity brought Brahms back to
Düsseldorf to help his wife Clara Schumann and her young family. The
relationship with Clara Schumann, one of the most distinguished pianists of the
time, lasted until her death in 1896.
In the music of the second half of the nineteenth century Brahms came to
occupy a position in direct antithesis to Wagner. The latter had seen in
Beethoven's great Choral Symphony the last word in symphonic music. The
music of the future lay, he claimed, in the new form of music-drama of which he
was the sole proponent. His father-in-law Liszt similarly found the way forward
in the symphonic poem, an alloy formed from the musical and extra- musical.
Brahms, largely through the advocacy of Hanslick, found himself the champion of
pure or abstract music combined neither with drama nor any other medium. The
distinction was in some ways an artificial one. Nevertheless Brahms, whose
background, like Beethoven's, was less literary than that of Wagner or of Liszt,
did significantly extend the range of the symphony and was hailed by many
contemporaries as the successor to Beethoven, a future Schumann had prophesied
for him twenty-three years before the first symphony was written.
The last compositions Brahms wrote for piano were those published as Opus
117, 118 and 119, principally the work of 1892, when he apparently
wrote a number of other piano pieces that were never published.
Opus 118 bears the simpler title Klavierstücke and includes four Intermezzi,
a Ballade and a Romanze. The opening Intermezzo in A
minor is marked Allegro non assai, ma molto appassionato, a mood
expressed in a texture of great clarity. The second Intermezzo, in A
major, provides a relaxation of mood into a tender valedictory melancholy. The G
minor Ballade, with a B major central section, is vigorous in its
principal theme but tranquil enough in its conclusion. There follows an F minor Intermezzo,
marked Allegretto un poco agitato, an instruction that epitomises the
feeling of the music, which leads to the F major Romanze, with its
lilting D major central section. The sixth piece is an E flat minor Intermezzo
making greater technical demands in a work where the chief demands are
Jeno Jandó
The Hungarian pianist Jeno Jandó has won a number of piano competitions in
Hungary and abroad, including first prize in the 1973 Hungarian Piano Concours
and a first prize in the chamber music category at the Sydney International
Piano Competition in 1977. He has recorded for Naxos all the piano concertos and
sonatas of Mozart. Other recordings for the Naxos label include the concertos of
Grieg and Schumann as well as Rachmaninov's Second Concerto and Paganini
Rhapsody and Beethoven's complete piano sonatas.
Benjamin Frith
The young British pianist Benjamin Frith has had a distinguished career. A
pupil of Fanny Waterman, he won, at the age of fourteen, the British National
Concerto Competition, followed by the award of the Mozart Memorial Prize and
joint top prize in 1986 in the Italian Busoni International Piano Competition
and in 1989 a Gold Medal and First prize in the Arthur Rubinstein Piano Master
Competition. Benjamin Frith enjoys a busy international career, with engagements
in the United States and throughout Europe as a soloist and recitalist, with
festival appearances at Sheffield, Aldeburgh, Harrogate, Kuhmo, Bolzano,
Savannah, Pasadena and Hong Kong and an Edinburgh Festival debut in 1992. His
recordings include a highly praised performance of Beethoven's Diabelli
Variations on the ASV label and for Naxos a release of piano music by
Schumann and the two Mendelssohn Piano Concertos.
Idil Biret
Born in Ankara, Idil Biret started to learn the piano at the age of three and
later studied at the Paris Conservatoire under the guidance of Nadia Boulanger,
graduating at the age of fifteen with three first prizes. A pupil of Alfred
Cortot and of Wilhelm Kempff, she embarked on her career as a soloist at the age
of sixteen, appearing with major orchestras in the principal musical centres of
the world, in collaboration with conductors of the greatest distinction. To many
festival appearances may be added membership of juries for international piano
competitions, including the Van Cliburn, Queen Elisabeth of the Belgians and
Busoni Competitions. She has received the Lili Boulanger Memorial Award in
Boston, the Harriet Cohen / Dinu Lipatti Gold Medal in London, the Polish
Artistic Merit Award and the French Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mente. Her
more than sixty records include the first recording of Liszt's transcription of
the symphonies of Beethoven, and for Naxos the complete piano works of Chopin,
Brahms and Rachmaninov, with a Marco Polo disc of the piano compositions and
transcriptions of her mentor Wilhelm Kempff.

USC fires Lane Kiffin; Orgeron is interim coach
With Oakland, he lasted only 20 games as an overmatched head coach before his departure became a public feud with Al Davis, the late Raiders owner. He then infuriated Volunteers fans when he left after just 14 months to head back to the Trojans.
Former USC athletic director Mike Garrett hired Kiffin away from Tennessee to replace Seattle Seahawks coach Carroll, the architect of USC's dynasty over the previous decade. Kiffin was an assistant under Carroll, eventually running the Trojans' offense alongside Steve Sarkisian, now Washington's coach.
Kiffin had nothing to do with the misdeeds committed under Carroll and Garrett, who was swiftly dismissed and replaced by Haden.
The coach still faced enormous expectations at USC - especially last season, when the Trojans started out ranked No. 1 in the country with quarterback Matt Barkley and star receivers Robert Woods and Marqise Lee. USC lost five of its last six games, including the Sun Bowl, and Kiffin parted ways with his father, defensive guru Monte Kiffin.
The scholarship restrictions gradually eroded the Trojans' depth, and last season's struggles clearly hurt the vaunted recruiting power of Kiffin and Orgeron. Between the sanctions and injuries, the Trojans played at Arizona State on Saturday night with 56 recruited scholarship players, well below its limit of 75 and the standard 85.
Kiffin didn't help several strange decisions.
Last year, USC was reprimanded by the Pac-12 for underinflating footballs before a loss to Oregon. Kiffin also was criticized for switching jersey numbers on players in an apparent attempt to deceive the Trojans' opponents.
Kiffin even closed USC's practices to the public after years of transparency under Carroll, who embraced USC's tradition of raucous open workouts. This season, Kiffin also closed his practices to the media.
He then dithered on his choice of a starting quarterback, waiting until the third game to select Cody Kessler over Max Wittek. The offense has been largely terrible this season, but Kiffin was finally undone by another dreadful game by his defense, which had been solid under new coordinator Clancy Pendergast until Arizona State piled up 612 yards.
USC's next game is in 11 days, giving the Trojans time to regroup and heal. Orgeron still plans to hit the recruiting trail for a school in transition.
"I want our guys to believe and have a little fun," Orgeron said. "One of the things we'll do as a staff is get really close to our players, circle the wagons a little bit and have some fun for these next eight games, and let the chips fall where they may."

You may think of cluster bombs can be food for discussion,but their deliberate use against civilians by the Assad gang is a repugnant act.

Angina is a type of chest pain that occurs when there
is not enough blood flow to the heart muscle. This is often a result of
narrowed blood vessels, usually caused by hardening of the arteries
(atherosclerosis). If you have angina, you and your health professional may
have developed a plan for you to use to treat your angina at home. When angina
starts, follow that plan. If you have any questions about your home treatment
plan, call your health professional.
Many health professionals prescribe nitroglycerin to relieve the pain
of angina. The usual method for taking nitroglycerin tablets is explained
below. If your health professional has prescribed and instructed you to use
nitroglycerin spray or his or her instructions differ from those below, follow
the guidelines your health professional has given you.
If you are taking nitroglycerin sublingual tablets or spray for acute
chest pain, you should carry the tablets and spray with you at all times. Sit
down when an acute attack occurs. The medication starts to work within 2
minutes and goes on working for up to 30 minutes.
Nitroglycerin tablets should be replaced every 3 to 6 months. Old
tablets may not work effectively. Store nitroglycerin in a brown or opaque
airtight, glass container that you cannot see through and keep away from heat
or moisture.
A nitroglycerin spray may last up to 2 years before it expires.
Replace nitroglycerin spray according to the expiration date on the bottle. Old
spray may not work effectively. Store your spray in the original container and
keep it away from heat or moisture.

North County's Raymond E. Feist went from playing 'D&D' at UCSD to creating entire worlds on the page
"I remember my father picking me up and I remember his laugh," Feist said. "But it was our stepdad who raised us."
Felix E. Feist was a jack-of-all-Hollywood-trades, working on everything from film noirs to science fiction. He directed the 1953 movie, "Donovan's Brain," and episodes of television's "Outer Limits" and "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea." Cancer cut short his life and career. He died at the age of 55, leaving his 19-year-old stepson a small inheritance.
Dropping out of college, Feist bought a photography studio in the San Fernando Valley. He had a good eye but lacked a more critical quality: business savvy. When the shop failed, Feist sold cars, peddled products door-to-door and threw himself into a passionate but ill-advised love affair, "a real meatgrinder of an emotional relationship."
In 1971, at the age of 26, he returned to school. Living in East County with his mother, Barbara Feist, he completed a year at Grossmont College, then transferred to UC San Diego. One day on campus, the communications major saw several students playing a game with polyhedron dice. He stopped, and his destiny was sealed.
Feist joined this group's regular sessions of "Dungeons & Dragons," an intricate role-playing game. His new friends had created a planet for their adventures: Midkemia. They also introduced aliens that invaded Midkemia, infiltrating via a tear in the fabric of space and time, the Rift — elements that would become the backdrop to Feist's 29-book cycle.
"The game actually takes place about 600 years after Ray's books," said Steve Abrams, who met Feist when both were UC San Diego gamers. "We suggested that he could write the history of this world."
Upon that suggestion, Feist built a career. His fellow Triton Wargaming Society members graduated from UC San Diego, found jobs, acquired real-world responsibilities. "Dungeons & Dragons" lost its central place in their lives.
But it never completely disappeared.
"Everyone is getting old and busy," Abrams noted. "But we still occasionally play."
No worries
Feist owed his "D&D" friends — literally. His first job out of college, marketing a government-funded health project, vanished in the post-Proposition 13 budget cuts. Feist, who had been moonlighting on a novel-length adventure, was tempted to shelve the manuscript and focus on job-hunting.
But his friends enjoyed the chapters that Feist shared with them. To keep him writing, they loaned him money.
"I've since paid them back, several times," he said. "But they subsidized me for three months, chipping in $200, $300 each."
His luck continued when he caught the attention of Harold Matson, a book agent whose clients ran the literary gamut from Waugh, Evelyn, to Wouk, Herman. No fan of fantasy, Matson nonetheless fell for "Magician's" breakneck pace and intriguing characters. He won Feist a $10,000 advance and, after "Magician" debuted with good sales, a $50,000 advance for his next two books.
Ever since, Feist has averaged a book a year, only one of them — "Faerie Tale" — unconnected to the Riftwars. He works quickly, enjoying the yarn-spinning process, juggling a hundred plot strands and a thousand characters. He's been rewarded with a passionate army of readers — occasionally, too passionate. While he teamed with co-authors on six of the novels, Feist angered some readers by discouraging them from writing and sharing their own "fan fiction" about his imaginary universe.
