Three living legends came together to create Eternal Echoes: the renowned classical violinist Itzhak Perlman; Cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot, who keeps the ancient cantorial tradition alive from his pulpit at Manhattan's Park East Synagogue; and Hankus Netsky, a pioneer in the revival of klezmer music. Their musical common ground finds its roots in the Ashkenazi tradition, the Jewish culture of Central and Eastern Europe.
Full schedule of features:
Like Yiddish, the language common amongst the Jewish populations of Eastern Europe, the musical language of the Ashkenazi is a fusion of modern European and ancient Middle Eastern styles. It expresses the full range of human emotions, from exuberant joy to deep introspection to heart-wrenching sorrow.
Those emotions come through in the music the same way they exist in life itself, occupying the same space almost simultaneously: the harmonies switch constantly from minor to major, the rhythms from straightforward to syncopated, and a tune that starts out slow and sad is likely to end fast and happy.
As Hankus Netsky, the founder of the Klezmer Conservatory Band and the Contemporary Improvisation Chair at the New England Conservatory explains, "I liken it to the blues. When Jews prayed, they cried. We have a word, krehts, meaning to groan - like the blues have a moan or a wail. The Jews have a sobbing kind of feeling, even when they're happy. That's why this music is universal."

You'll hear that on Eternal Echoes, which brings in yet another dimension: a tune that starts out with a solemn prayer frequently ends in a joyous dance. While many traditional cantorial melodies and klezmer dance tunes have common folk sources, the connection between them has never before been made this explicit.
Netsky, the album's musical director, freely admits that bringing together different strains of Jewish music is an "agenda" of his and is in line with his idea that klezmer is not just a re-creation of music from the past, but a "living tradition."
Join me for conversations with Itzhak Perlman and Hankus Netsky, along with excerpts from Eternal Echoes, all this week on Classical New England. See the schedule and listen on-demand above, and to purchase Eternal Echoes, visit ArkivMusic.

It's hard to think of an individual who embodies more extreme contradictions than Richard Wagner. The dark side of Wagner generates a list of characteristics unleavened by their familiarity: an ego of gargantuan proportions; a flagrant home-wrecker; a financial manipulator usually one step (barely) ahead of his creditors; and, of course, an outspoken anti-Semite.
|Hear Discovery Ensemble and conductor Courtney Lewis perform Siegfried-Idyll in our Fraser Performance Studio
The positive side starts with the music: revolutionary, seductive, majestic, overwhelming. In the context of his creations, how important is Wagner's dark side? It's the perennial question surrounding a person whose incredibly outlandish artistic vision was matched only by a series of equally outlandish life events.
My background as a trumpeter pre-disposes me to have some kind of affection for Wagner's music, I suppose; it's simply a thrill to play. But moving beyond those trumpet parts and into the operas themselves and then into the circumstances of Wagner's life has always been daunting to me. So having the chance to visit Tribschen, Wagner's Swiss home in exile, with a group of Classical New England listeners during our 2012 LearningTour was an opportunity to at least try to understand Wagner the person.
It helps - and quite a lot, in my opinion - that Tribschen is the setting for one of the more charming stories from Wagner's life. (I know. "Charming" and "Wagner" ... not easy to integrate.) It was at Tribschen in 1870 that Wagner wrote Siegfried-Idyll, a 20 minute, loving, musical birthday card to his wife Cosima, the woman he married earlier that year. (The story of their relationship takes us back to that bafflingly dark side, but let's not go there, at least for the moment...) It was apparently performed for the first time at the bottom of the stairs as Cosima's birthday morning wake-up call.
Since then, the Idyll has been inextricably linked to the place, and, indeed, the score in Wagner's manuscript holds pride of place in what is now a Wagner museum at the house. The Idyll even constituted the first music to be performed at the newly inaugurated Lucerne Festival in 1938 and has been programmed during the festival each year since.
Being there, at Tribschen, meant standing in the same room in which Wagner was a host for Liszt, Nietzsche, and King Ludwig II. It meant gazing across the lake to see the same view that Cosima saw from her bedroom window. Did it all make Wagner more understandable? Yes and no.
As at similar sites I've visited - St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, where Bach worked; the Budapest Opera House, where Mahler's Symphony No. 1 was premiered; Bertramka, the home where Mozart stayed while visiting Prague - I could picture Wagner's life in more detail. I could imagine him putting the finishing touches on Die Meistersinger. I was in awe of his regular treks in the nearby Alpine mountains. And that story of the premiere of the Idyll has far more specific surroundings than before.
But all those dark characteristics still seem just as dark.
There's never a necessity to relate personally to the creators of art. If the art has integrity, we relate to it, not the artist. In the case of Wagner, the picture of the creator is more detailed and colorful than ever before for me. Hearing and watching his music and operas will carry with it some meaningful added context after visiting one of his homes. Wagner remains an artist whose genius is indisputable. And he remains someone whose life, to me, is even more fascinatingly improbable than before.

Chicago: Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact
Filed under: Aftermarket, Chicago Auto Show, Sedan, Dodge
For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.
Scroll down for Chrysler's official press release.

This company should really make sure all the seams are finished on their costumes I feel like it could fall apart one day and the headband didn't fit me but I have a big head and the headbands threads were coming out like the product should be finished abs secure we are paying a lot of money for a costume it shouldn't just be thrown together. If your gonna waste materials to make a product make it right...I'm a fashion designer sorry but love the look of the costume and at least the fabric isn't cheap and hard

- IRS union employees will get their bonuses this year. The
agency and the National Treasury Employees Union reach an agreement the union says
will keep them out of court. The bonuses will come from a pool equal to 1 percent
of union employees' salaries. Last year, acting Commissioner Danny Werfel canceled
bonuses after sequestration budget cuts. NTEU President Colleen Kelley says this
year's bonus amount is less than originally negotiated. She expects the checks to
come in the spring. (Federal News Radio)
- Veterans Affairs executives would get no performance bonuses for five years
under a bill that has passed the House. The measure requires
more paperwork for employees traveling abroad. VA Hospitals would have to meet
stronger infectious-disease reporting requirements. And health clinics would have
to tell patients about hidden cameras. The bill also lets veterans on the GI Bill
receive in-state tuition rates at
any public college or university. (Associated Press)
- Federal law enforcement officers push back against new limits on overtime
pay at the Homeland Security Department. The Federal Law Enforcement Officers
Association says the restrictions came with little warning and create financial
hardship for officers. The association says DHS buckled to congressional pressure.
The department made its decision shortly before a Senate hearing on accusations of
widespread abuse of the overtime policy. Whistleblowers say trainers and office
employees routinely file for overtime pay and sit around watching TV or surfing
the net. The association does not defend those employees but says the solution is
better monitoring. (Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association)
- The Environmental Protection Agency confirms it's offering buyouts to hundreds of employees
nationwide. Those who volunteer to retire by April will get a one-time payment of
$25,000. John O'Grady is president of the American Federation of Government
Employees local in region 5. He says the buyouts appear to be targeted at highly
paid employees, GS-13s through GS-15s. The agency says buyout decisions in the 19
offices affected were made by local program and administrative officials.
(Federal News Radio)
- The Senate is expected to pass today a five-year farm bill and
send it to President Barack Obama. Sponsors describe it as a compromise, at a
cost of $100 billion a year. Most of that money goes to food stamps. There are
savings to be had there, too. The bill gives the Agriculture Department more money
to stop food-stamp trafficking. It places limits on college students who receive
aid. It ensures people who have died do not receive benefits. The bill also
prevents lottery winners, convicted murderers and sex offenders from receiving
food stamps. (Senate)
- While jetting home from Europe, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel conducts an hour-long conference call. He talks with six Air Force
officers on duty in the 341st Missile Wing launch control centers. Hagel expresses
appreciation for the work the missileers do. The wing, at Malmstrom Air Force
Base, Mont., operates the nation's nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic
missiles. It's been under a cloud. Scores of officers have been suspended for
allegedly cheating on readiness tests. ICBM operators spend long hours waiting for
nuclear attack orders that likely will never come. The officers say they
appreciate the call and knowing Hagel is concerned about their mission. One calls
the call surprising and really cool. (Defense Department)
- The Pentagon keeps the possibility of an East Coast missile defense site alive,
despite officials' misgivings. Reuters reports, the Defense Department studies the
environmental impact at sites in New York, Ohio, Maine and Michigan. Defense
officials say the addition would be expensive and unnecessary. Long-range
interceptor missiles at sites in California and Alaska can defend the country
against strikes by Iran and other states. But Congress pushes the department to go
forward with an East Coast facility in the 2013 Defense authorization bill.
- The National Institutes of Health is organizing a consortium of ten big drug
companies. Researchers will collaborate on finding breakthrough treatments for
stubborn diseases like Alzheimer's, lupus and diabetes. Instead of competing tooth
and nail, the companies will share resources and scientific findings. The Wall
Street Journal reports, NIH officials will announce the unusual arrangement today.
The collaboration will last five years and include NIH researchers. The group will
share its data with the public, allowing anyone to use it for experimentation. It
has a price tag of about $230 million. (Wall Street Journal)
- The Homeland Security Department came out on top of a protest to its EAGLE II services contract.
The Government Accountability Office denied the protest brought by one of the
losing bidders, ICF International. But there's a long way to go. More than three
dozen other companies have lodged protests. The GAO says Homeland Security
officials conducted reasonable evaluations of the bids. And it said the
evaluations followed the terms of the solicitation. EAGLE II has a $22 billion
ceiling over seven years. Eleven companies won slots. (Federal News Radio)
- Big internet companies release new
data on how often they are ordered to turn over customer information to the
government. The slightly more-detailed accounts follow an agreement between the
companies and federal lawyers. They reveal how often the FBI, NSA and other
agencies obtain data for secret national security investigations. Now the
companies can also say how many individual accounts are involved. Google,
Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, LinkedIn and Tumblr all post new reports. Several also
post criticism of the government's program for internet traffic surveillance.
LinkedIn general counsel Erika Rottenberg says she'll keep pressing for the right
to publish even more detail. (Associated Press)

Hi all,
I'm trying to grow up Agrobacterium tumefaciens from glycerols. They're from a mutant screen so are in small aliquots (200 microlitres) in 96 well plates. They weren't flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, just put straight in the minus 80 degree freezer, so obviously viability was going to be somewhat compromised but they have grown before.
I had thought it might be freeze/thaw since the last time I used them but I've noticed a couple of my control cultures from larger glycerols that had been flash frozen and definitely don't thaw much when I use them aren't growing either. This is in L broth and L agar. Antibiotics are correct and at appropriate concentrations.
Anyone know what could be going on? All these glycerols have grown before, several times.
Would a different media help? I don't want to use LB because I get poor selection in it. Maybe YEB or SOC?
I seriously hope I haven't 'lost' these stocks. I've got 14 positive candidates from my screen in there
Submit your paper to J Biol Methods today!

French Connection, the British clothing retailer, offered vouchers for its merchandise worth about $375 for any user who can prove that they found a date through Chatroulette. Given the site's androcentric demographics, FCUK both threw down the gauntlet for a serious challenge and targeted a very particular element of their consumer base. The contest got picked up by sites like Perez Hilton, which gets millions of visitors, and it boosted traffic to the company's blog by 300 percent.
Sunny Queen Farms, an Australian company that sells eggs, dressed someone up in a giant, smiling egg suit with arms. They then compiled a clip reel of people's reactions to "Sunny the Egg." In a nod to the site's raunchier side, the video even shows Sunny covering his eyes at off-camera lewdness. The egg mongers from down under definitely get points for not taking themselves too seriously.
If you're promoting yourself on a site where users are unabashed about flashing some skin, why not respond in kind? We're not talking about going all Larry Flynt, but for April Fools' Day, the UK branch of Dr Pepper got a scantily clad cheerleader, to strut her stuff for the Chatroulette crowd (to the tune of 200,000 video views in under a week). It's a risky association to make with your brand but it's worked for companies like the domain name registrar Go Daddy.
Travelocity entered the Chatroulette fray with their iconic Roaming Gnome. The beloved lawn ornament holds a variety of signs throughout the day with messages such as "This would be better if we were in Rio." It's a case of clever targeting because the idea is that folks who spend their time video chatting with strangers could use a break from being cooped up with their computer. Sometimes the company's plaster mascot simply holds his sign, but during work hours, he's voiced by a staffer from their ad agency, McKinney, who chats with users. By numbers, this was the most successful of the campaigns, garnering 16 million press impressions, thousands of retweets, and 100,000 interactions on Chatroulette itself.
You can put your brand manager or even a mascot on Chatroulette but ultimately they're only one man, or egg, or gnome. Sabre, a Newport Beach, California-based eyewear brand crowdsourced their Chatroulette presence by enticing users to send in their creepiest Sabre-related screenshots, with a no naughty parts clause, to win a pair of shades. While enlisting a grab bag of teenagers as your brand advocates might seem like reputation seppuku, it could be just another way to cut through the noise. In Sabre's case, however, the company was disappointed to only receive 500 responses compared to thousands they had had for other picture contests.

Over a 90-minute time span, groups of auto enthusiasts peel around New Hampshire Motor Speedway's agility-autocross course in a sleek V10 Lamborghini Gallardo. Students spend 15 minutes absorbing safety and steering instructions before strapping into the driver's seat alongside an experienced instructor. Seated in front of the powerful purr of the engine, drivers then complete three or six full laps.

The Motorsport Lab
The Motorsport Lab lets drivers tame and test a fleet of classic American muscle cars and exotic, foreign sportsters. Drivers receive instruction before sampling the speed and handling of vehicles such as the Aston Martin DB9, Bentley GT, and Lotus Elise. Instructors either compress racing experiences into 60-minute agility tests or prolong the rush by guiding drivers on three-day excursions to Tampa, the Berkshires, or the nearest no-contact demolition derby. The Motorsport Lab also runs an advanced driving school, teaching students the subtleties of controlling Ferraris and Lamborghinis.

Inconsistent Comelec
This refers to the news report titled "3 party-list groups get SC reprieve" (Inquirer 11/23/12). The Supreme Court, the final arbiter of laws, has again issued its authoritative stand: "Three more party-list groups were given a reprieve by the Supreme Court, which directed the Commission on Elections on Tuesday not to disqualify the organizations from taking part in the May 2013 elections."
If there is an institution in government that projects the image of stability, it is the Supreme Court. I am convinced that its decisions are carefully studied and weighed so that their applications are not only for the here and now but for posterity. Its decisions become laws of the land. And it is a well-settled rule in jurisprudence that laws are prospective in nature and character.
When the Supreme Court decides with finality, it expects that such decision will be respected by all concerned. Unreasonably challenging or dismissing it for political expediency would be an affront to its judicial independence and integrity.
The Supreme Court is an epitome of stability due to the consistency of its decisions. Its decisions are said to be impartial and objective. In my view, some party lists are complaining because of the Commission on Election's inconsistent and incoherent decisions and policies, particularly on the unceremonious delisting of some party-list organizations. If the Supreme Court mirrors stability and resoluteness, Comelec is its exact opposite.—REGINALD B. TAMAYO, assistant city council secretary, Marikina City

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in American Electric Power v. Connecticut that federal common law nuisance claims cannot be used to address harms arising from climate change. In 2004, eight states, New York City, and three nonprofit land trusts filed public nuisance complaints in federal district court against the nation's largest emitters of carbon dioxide, seeking to slash power-plant greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions in 20 states. The district court dismissed the suits, claiming that they presented nonjusticiable political questions. However, last year the Second Circuit reversed and ruled that the case could proceed. Justice Sonia Sotomayor did not take part in today's decision because she wrote the Second Circuit opinion that rejected the defendants' political question defense.
In a much-anticipated decision, the Court reversed the Second Circuit and unanimously held that the federal common law of nuisance is "displaced" by the Clean Air Act's ("CAA") grant of jurisdiction to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") to regulate GHGs. Such displacement occurs when a federal statute "speaks directly" to the issue raised by the federal common law claims. The Court stressed that the standard for displacement of federal common law is less rigorous than the standard for preemption of state law claims.
Although the Court unequivocally rejected federal common law claims for GHG harms, the Court's split decision as to the jurisdictional issues of standing and the political question doctrine may still permit future state lawsuits challenging environmental impacts of GHG emissions. The Court remanded to the Second Circuit so that it might evaluate whether state law claims are preempted by the Clean Air Act, an issue not addressed by the parties.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Consumers Union urged Congress today to strengthen the law that governs the approval of medical devices to ensure patients aren't endangered by devices that haven't been thoroughly reviewed for safety.
The consumer group called on Congress to ensure that all implantable and life-sustaining medical devices are subject to more rigorous review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and to establish a better system for tracking devices after approval so patients and doctors can be notified when safety problems arise. The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on medical devices today at 2:30 p.m.
"Lax medical device approval standards are putting patient lives at risk," said Lisa McGiffert, manager of Consumers Union's Safe Patient Project (www.SafePatientProject.org). "The current system has allowed FDA to fast track approval of more than 90 percent of new medical devices based on whether they are similar to other devices already on the market and without clinical trails that show the devices are safe and effective. It's time to strengthen the federal law on medical devices, not scale back oversight at the expense of patient safety."
Consumers Union's full letter to Congress follows:
November 15, 2011
Dear Member of Congress,
Consumers Union's Safe Patient Project is writing to urge you to use the opportunity provided by the upcoming reauthorization of the Medical Device User Fee Act (MDUFA) to improve the quality, safety and effectiveness of medical devices. We believe the essential goal of not harming patients can be achieved without harming true innovation.
You have been hearing that the medical device industry faces onerous regulation by FDA. But in many respects, the device industry is far less regulated than the drug industry

The genesis of HotHead Sports' heat-sensing football helmet came not on the sidelines, but on a sizzling rooftop in Puerto Rico.
That's where Jay Buckalew found himself in 2004 as the lead technical engineer on a project to install a wireless telecommunications system. The day's searing heat left Buckalew woozy and wondering how close he might be to heatstroke.
A lifelong football fan who coaches youth football, Buckalew had been shaken three years earlier by the death of Korey Stringer, the Minnesota Vikings' 335-pound lineman who collapsed during a sweltering training camp practice in July 2001. Stringer's body temperature spiked at 108.8 degrees and he died of organ failure hours later.
"It didn't seem right to me that anyone should die playing a sport they loved because they were overcome by heat," said Buckalew, the CEO and founder of Atlanta-based HotHead Technologies, Inc. "One death was too many. I thought that there had to be a way to use technology to solve this problem."
So Buckalew and his business partners at HotHead spent three years perfecting a dime-sized sensor that could be placed inside a helmet to detect an extreme rise in heat. They have since partnered with Shutt Sports, one of the nation's leading producers of football helmets.
Peer pressure a problem
According to the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research at the University of North Carolina, about four high school football players die each year from heat-related illnesses. Since 1955, there have been 117 heatstroke fatalities in football. Last year, six football-related heatstroke deaths were reported, four at the high school level — the most reported since 1972.
In June, the National Athletic Trainers Association recommended that high school football two-a-days be banned during the first five days of practice. The NATA reasoned that the athletes needed to get acclimated to the heat.
Many coaches around the country bristled at the recommendation, saying that they already were keeping a careful eye on their players and taking steps to avoid heat-related problems.
Buckalew understands that, but he still fears unseen dangers.
"There is a lot of peer pressure in high school sports, especially football," he said. "Kids aren't going to come off the field if they aren't feeling right because it's that attitude that you don't quit until you drop."
Testing is underway
Buckalew hopes his invention provides a solution.
The system, called Heat Observation Technology (HOT), is based on a small electric thermometer called a thermistor. It's a spoon-size device made of various metals whose electrical resistance varies with temperature shifts. The thermistor is inserted under the forehead pad of a standard helmet.
The device measures the temperature of a player's temporal artery, then uses a built-in radio to transmit temperatures between 99.9 and 110 every 10 seconds to a PDA monitored by a coach or trainer. If a player's temperature rises above normal, an audible warning alert goes off.
This summer, Buckalew and his partners began introducing their product to high schools and colleges across the country. They plan to begin mass marketing the product next spring.
HotHead hopes to produce 400,000 units, mostly to high schools and colleges, by 2011.
"Right now we are field testing the helmets at some Division I colleges and Pop Warner programs," Buckalew said. "This is a new technology, so we want to get some good feedback."
When college football practices began early this month, Ole Miss, Texas, Texas Christian and the University of South Florida were among the schools testing the helmets. Buckalew also is trying out his product with high schools in the Atlanta area.
Tip of the iceberg
"It will cost a team about $99 per player," Buckalew said. "But we think that's a good investment."
Buckalew reasons that the cost is less than employing extra trainers on the sidelines.
"Down here in the South, some schools will have well over 100 kids going out for football," he said. "They don't have enough adults monitoring the kids and looking for the warning signs."
Football is just one area in which HotHead has invested.
"We are also working with fire departments, firefighters, the industrial sector and the military," Buckalew said. "Heat-related illness can be dangerous. We think our product can save lives."

The Brookfield Central boys basketball team had big third quarters on back-to-back nights, and as a result, the Lancers came away with their fourth championship in six years in the Luke Homan Memorial Holiday Tournament last week at Central.
Central whipped Hartford, 72-39, Dec. 27 and then beat Madison West, 60-48, Friday in the title game (see All-Tournament Team in infobox). The victories were the Lancers' eighth in a row and improved their record to 8-1. They are tied for first with Sussex Hamilton (10-0), each with 4-0 marks.
The Lancers get back in action on Friday at home against Wauwatosa East (6-4, 3-1).
In the rout of Hartford, Central went up 37-22 at intermission. If the Orioles had any thoughts of a comeback, they went out the window when the Lancers had a 17-3 third quarter.
In the championship game against Madison West, the Lancers led, 32-25, at intermission and then used a 14-3 run in the third quarter to coast into the fourth period with a 46-28 advantage. That's two games with a 31-6 third-quarter margin.
"We always talk about coming out fast the first three minutes of the first quarter and the first three minutes of the third quarter," Central coach Mark Adams said after Friday's title game. "We struggled for a bit in the third against Hartford and I said (to the guys) 'Not like last night; this is a completely different animal.' That was one of the best quarters (on Friday) we had against a quality opponent."
Central went on an 8-0 run against West on Friday to open the second half, as Elijah Goodman had four points and an assist, Riley LaChance had a basket and an assist and Peter Mattiacci had a basket to make it a 15-point advantage for Central (40-25). After a free throw and a bucket by West's Malik Clements, Brad Newman hit two free throws, LaChance hit a free throw and Luke Rasmussen had a basket and a free throw to end a 6-0 run.
LaChance had 25 points for Central and Mattiacci had 11, nine in the first quarter on three 3-pointers, getting Central off to a 23-12 start. Goodman finished with 10 points and 15 rebounds, while Clements led West with 13 points.
Adams talked about Jerry Homan, Luke's father, talking to his team before the Hartford game.
"He talked about the memories and the fact Luke was a gym rat," Adams said. "We have a few guys like that and we take pride in winning this tournament."

Bruins still searching for consistency
|10.25.11 at 1:48 pm ET
With the Bruins having another day off Tuesday, they figure to be well-rested and refreshed when they face the Canadiens at TD Garden on Thursday. The contest, the first game of a home-and-home, will be their first game in five days, with ideal result being wins in Boston and Montreal to mark their first two-game winning streak of the season.
Consistency has been a major issue for the Bruins through eight games (3-5-0). Each win has been followed with a loss or two, and the team will need to win both games against Montreal to even be .500 in the month's first season.
It's for that reason that, while the time off is good for the Bruins, they're hungry to return to game action. While this week can provide rest and an opportunity to correct mistakes, Tim Thomas and the B's are eager to face the Habs and pick up some points.
"I don't think a break can help you with [consistency]," Thomas said Monday. "That's got to come when you're playing. It can help prepare you to get to that level of consistency when you start to play, but you can't build consistency when you're not playing a game."
Three of the Bruins' five losses have come against teams that currently do not have winning records, while the B's have allowed as many goals as they've scored (19).
"We're not too far out," Thomas said. "We're not getting completely dominated. We're just making mistakes and not scoring enough. We're right there, but with this league, every game is a battle. Every game is a very tight game. We had a whole year of tight games last year and a whole playoffs of tight games, for the most part. It's the same thing this year."

Camel on Google App Engine Tutorial
Goal of this tutorial is to get a non-trivial Camel application running on Google App Engine (GAE). For developing that application the Camel Components for Google App Engine are used. The example web application generates a weather report for a city that is entered by the user into a form and sends the weather report via email to either the currently logged-in user or a user-defined receiver. The following figure gives an overview. Users of this application need to login with their Google account.
POSTed form data are dispatched to the Camel application via the ghttp component. The application transforms the report request and enqueues it with the gtask component for further background processing. It then generates an immediate HTML response containing information about the city and the receiver of the report. The response also contains a link logging out from the application. In the background, the application retrieves weather data from the Google Weather Service, transforms the data to generate a simple weather report and sends the report by email via the gmail component.
- Sign up for a Google App Engine account if you don't have one.
- Create a new application via the admin console or reuse an existing one for uploading the example.
- Install the Google App Engine SDK for Java. This tutorial has been tested with version 1.3.6.
First, checkout the sources from the Camel code repository.
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/trunk camel
Navigate to the camel-example-gae and install from here.
Open the
camel-example-gae/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/application-web.xml file and replace the template application name
replaceme with the name of the application that you created in the previous section. Optionally, adjust the version number if needed.
Then go to the
camel-example-gae directory and enter
mvn install
This will create the application
war file in the target directory. Finally use the
appcfg command-line tool of the App Engine SDK to deploy the application.
appcfg update target/camel-example-gae-<version>
version needs to be replaced with the version of Camel you're using. You will be prompted for the email address and password of your Google App Engine account. After deployment the example application is ready to use.
In the following, the application name
camelcloud will be used as an example. If you deployed the example application somewhere else, use your application name instead. Go to
http://camelcloud.appspot.com. The application will redirect you to a login page (see also Security for Camel GAE Applications).
After login, the application displays the tutorial's main page where you can enter the name of a city and optionally enter an email address where to send the waether report. If you check
Send report to me the report will be send to the email address that you used for login.
After pressing
Submit the response is
home link brings you back to the main page, the logout link is to logout from the application (which brings you back to the login page). In the background, the current weather conditions for the user-entered city will be retrieved from the Google weather service and a formatted weather report will be send by email. Submitting the form the first time initializes the application on Google App Engine which can take several seconds. Subsequent submissions (within a certain time frame) are served much faster. Check your emails and you should now see a new email with subject
Wheather report and content similar to this one:
Weather report for: London, England Current condition: Klar Current temperature: 12 (Celsius)
The report is partly internationalized, depending on the language settings of your browser.
Code walkthrough
TutorialRouteBuilder implements the message processing routes shown in the #Overview section. Input form data are received via the ghttp component. After receiving the request a
RequestProcessor adds the form data and information about the current user to a
ReportData POJO. The
ReportData object is then serialized and queued for background processing. Queueing messages on GAE is done with the gtask component. After adding the
ReportData object to the queue an HTML response is generated with the
Background processing of the queued messages starts
from("gtask://default"). The first step is to enrich the previously generated
ReportData object with data from the Google weather service. The service URL is dynamically constructed by setting the
Exchange.HTTP_QUERY header to
weather=<city>. For example, if the user entered
London in the city field of the form the resulting URL is ghttp://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=London. The weather service is accessed with the ghttp component and the weather service response is aggregated into the
ReportData object using a custom aggregator returned by the
reportDataAggregator() method. Generating a simple weather report from
ReportData is done by the
ReportGenerator. The report is then sent by email with the gmail component.

Web Letter
Hirshman's essay reads as an analysis of the role of political and social philosophy in the recent debates. As an analysis of Obama and his social/political philosophy, it is very weak.
I'm a bit surprised that Hirshman hasn't done a bit more homework on Obama. She would only need to look a little bit deeper to find reference in Obama's stump speeches to caring for others in the way she suggests. She would only have to crack his book The Audacity of Hope to find the presence of FDR and the New Deal throughout.
I agree with the spirit of the argument Hirshman makes about the need to offer a philosophical alternative to the right. I disagree that Obama has just recently started to formulate this. If one takes the time to look, it is clear he started with this in mind.

Front Row
Wardrobe choices to weather Manila's erratic weather
Here's how to stay stylish come rain or shine.
Up until a few years ago, I was used to bringing out my light, summer-y attire by February, and the rainy-day staples come June. But of late, it can be sunny one morning and then have a sudden downpour come afternoon.
I guess the effects of global warming are to blame, but it's doing a number on our wardrobe.
So, how is one supposed to dress for this freakish weather? Do you wear pumps or can you get away with strappy sandals and flip-flops? Do you still wear tights or go for bare legs?
For most women, it's already difficult as it is to choose what to wear on early mornings to go to work or class; now we even have to pick clothing items that would last us through rain and sun in a day.
There would be days when I would think, "Why didn't I wear a jacket today?!" In Manila, rainy season is usually from June to September, but that's no longer always the case. Mother Nature is becoming more and more unpredictable and we need to be prepared for whatever the weather decides to throw our way.
Here are some ways to stay safe and stylish, whatever the weather:
1. Wear thin layers.
I don't mean fur coats here, but light pieces like cardigans, blazers, knits, or a lightweight trench that you can add or subtract during the day. A scarf is another option—it's a great accessory, but it can also be wrapped around the head to shield against that sudden gust of wind, or if it rains, it can protect our hair from getting drenched, too.
2. Choose your bottoms wisely.
If you get stranded in a flood, steer clear of heavy fabrics like denim or wool. Opt for bottoms that dry easier, like stretch fabrics. Certain patterns can also disguise water stains.
3. Pick the right footwear.
The erratic weather will naturally force us to store some of our best footwear, but some kinds of leather and patent can withstand water stains. To prevent minor water stains, spray new shoes with a waterproofing compound. Make sure your heels are anti-slip. Most important, steer clear of anything canvas and suede.
4. Carry a tote.
Invest in a lightweight tote that will carry all your essentials plus these items that will keep you prepared come rain or shine: a pair of sunnies and a folding umbrella.

Seville Highlights
One of the first people to fall in love with Seville was the poet-king Al-Mutamid, and the city's ability to dazzle has not abated since. It takes a stony heart not to be captivated by its exuberant atmosphere - stylish, confident, ancient, proud, yet also convivial, intimate and fun-loving. Seville's crowded center unfolds subtly as you wind your way through narrow streets and small squares. Its flamenco, bullfighting and nightlife are incomparable.

"We ordered these stickers to be placed on the gifts given out at a baby shower. They pulled everything together. From the invites to the thank you cards, everything coordinated and looked polished and professional."
"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"I purchased these labels for packaging to use for my business. I loved the design so much I have since purchased the rest of the matching items to go along with my stickers. Beautiful work from Petite Alma!!"
"Excellent quality - make simple presents look more elegant and saves time as no card necessary for all of the nursery school party gifts."
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
I have got to love a game even more when they surprise you with the extra special effects. I took this screenshot to show what was happening in the sky. In the level, I had no reason to look where I did, and I could have EASILY missed it. But having seen it, I had to admire it.
