Smile, sometimes typeset with the idiosyncratic partial capitalization SMiLE, is a solo album by Brian Wilson, with lyrics by Van Dyke Parks released on 28 September 2004 on CD and two-disc vinyl. Wilson, Parks and Darian Sahanaja completed the legendary unfinished album project, started in 1966 for Wilson's former band, The Beach Boys. It was released in the fall of 2004 with back-up from members of his touring band, including three members of Wondermints.
The 2004 Smile album is in three suites. Some of the themes of the first section are early Americana, from Plymouth Rock to the Old West, farmlands, the building of the railroad and new housing. The album, appropriately for a 'teenage symphony to God' begins with 'Our Prayer' which is coupled with 1950s doo-wop song 'Gee', including the lyrics 'How I love my girl'. This segues into 'Heroes and Villains' which was conceived as the cornerstone of the entire Smile album. The 'Heroes and Villains' lyric 'My children were raised, you know they suddenly rise. They started slow long ago, head to toe, healthy, wealthy and wise.' ties in with the childhood/fatherhood theme of the second suite. 'Roll Plymouth Rock' partly reprises the 'Heroes and Villains' theme and features lyrics in Hawaiian, a theme that is returned to in the third suite. The easy-going 'Barnyard' features band members mimicking farmyard animals. The clanging sound of metal evident on 'Cabin Essence' is echoed in 'Workshop' in the third suite.
Some of the themes of the second suite are childhood and fatherhood and it features some music box-style melodies.'Surf's Up' has arcane, mysterious lyrics and considerable wordplay.
The third suite mostly seems to represent 'The Elements Suite' that Brian Wilson had talked about. It begins with the partly waltz-like 'I'm In Great Shape', which then features an upbeat vocal and gradually grows darker, becoming reminiscent of the kind of score that would be used at moments of growing tension or drama in cartoons, such as those by Disney. Indeed, lyricist Van Dyke Parks has said that Brian Wilson has a 'cartoon consciousness'. 'I Wanna Be Around' suggests the literal physical repair of a broken heart, fitting in with the 'Workshop' theme. Like 'I'm In Great Shape', 'Vega-Tables', epitomizes an interest in health and fitness that Brian Wilson had at the time. The song, like several on the album, has a carefree, humorous quality. 'Vega-Tables' also represents the 'Earth' theme of 'The Elements,' which is either all or part of the third suite. 'On A Holiday', originally an instrumental, has a reprise of the 'Roll Plymouth Rock' lyric and a distinctly jaunty pirate theme with some nursery rhyme-style lyrics, e.g. 'And isn't that a moon for a milky way?' The song segues into 'Wind Chimes,' the 'Air' part of the 'Elements' with the line 'Whisperin' winds send my wind chimes a-tinklin'. This song has a new age music feel. This is followed by the 'Fire' element, the Grammy-award winning 'Mrs O'Leary's Cow,' which has a helter skelter, ghost train/fun house kind of sound. The song is regarded as something of an expression of Brian Wilson's use of psychedelic drugs at the time and the title refers to the suspected cause of the Great Chicago Fire, a cow that knocked over a lantern. The following song, 'In Blue Hawaii' (the 'Water' element), also makes reference to a cow ('Wholly Holy Cow!'). The song acts as a soothing solution to the intense heat of the previous song: 'I could really use a drop to drink, somewhere in a placid pool and sink.' The album ends on 'Good Vibrations' (which has been described as a 'pocket symphony'), undoubtedly the best known song on the album. 'Good Vibrations' broadly goes through three distinct phases (as Smile does) and makes use of Theremin-like sounds from an Electro-Theremin, which had previously been used mainly in horror films. There is an indication that 'Good Vibrations' is meant to be regarded as separate from or perhaps an encapsulation of the spirit of the rest of 'Smile.' This is strongly suggested by the last line of the penultimate song 'In Blue Hawaii,' 'Aloha nui means goodbye,' and the reprise of the harmonies from the first song 'Our Prayer' before 'Good Vibrations' begins. Nevertheless, the tone and the choice of instrumentation in the song seems to bear more similarity to the rest of 'Smile' than to 'Pet Sounds' that some, including several Beach Boys, would have liked to have seen 'Good Vibrations' feature on.
The album was supposedly conceived as a musical journey across America from east to west, beginning at Plymouth Rock and ending in Hawaii, as well as traversing some of the great themes of American history and culture, including the impact of white settlement on native Americans, the influence of the Spanish, the Wild West, and the opening up of the country by railroad and motorway. It seems chronological, moving from early America through the Victorian era and ending with the 1960s drug culture (eg. Mrs O'Leary's Cow) and the Hawaii of 'In blue Hawaii' which, in terms of American statehood (since 1959), was very recent when the album was first conceived.
In interviews to promote Smile, Brian Wilson has concentrated on the happy, humorous qualities of the music, which are evident. However, there is also a clear and beautiful melancholy in Brian Wilson's voice and throughout the album eg. on 'Old Master Painter/You Are My Sunshine' and 'Surf's Up.' The lyrics to 'You Are My Sunshine' have been altered to past tense, adding a reflective somberness. The intensity of the chorus on 'Cabin Essence' and of 'Mrs O'Leary's Cow,' for just two obvious examples, show that the humor became entwined with dark, powerful, intensity as evidenced by the famous stories surrounding Smile. As Brian Wilson long referred to the innovative Smile as 'inappropriate music,' though, it is understandable that he would wish to concentrate on the unambiguously happy aspects of the project.
Recording of the new version of Smile began in April 2004 with his ten-piece touring band, augmented by a ten-piece string section and an acoustic bassist. The basic tracks were taped at Sunset Sound in just four days, with overdubbing and mixing continuing through April, May, and June.
On September 28, 2004, Brian Wilson released his newly recorded studio version of Smile, to critical praise. Smile is the greatest scoring album of at least the last 7 years based on Metacritic's estimations of various critics reviews. For the new version, Wilson, Wondermints leader Darian Sahanaja, woodwind player/string arranger Paul Mertens, and lyricist Van Dyke Parks based their arrangements on the original, unreleased Beach Boys tapes to give Smile a coherent and fresh, updated sound.
Interestingly, although Brian was reported to have only included "Good Vibrations" in the original Smile track listing at Capitol's insistence, a new version of the song—featuring Wilson's Pet Sounds collaborator Tony Asher's original lyrics, rather than the later Mike Love lyrics—was included as the closing track of the album.
The new Smile album was followed by two U.S. tours, with its featured stop in New York's Carnegie Hall; the two Carnegie Hall shows were amalgamated for broadcast on NPR's Creators At Carnegie series. Wilson and company also took the show to Australia and New Zealand, as well as many countries throughout Europe.
The Showtime cable network released a documentary film about the making of Brian Wilson Presents Smile known as "Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson and the Story of Smile." in the fall of 2004. And a DVD of a live version of the new Smile (shot in an L.A. studio) was released in May 2005, along with the Showtime/"Beautiful Dreamer" documentary.
In 2005, Smile won graphic artist Mark London and Rhino Records the 2005 ALEX award for Best Vinyl Package.
The first of these tracks appeared on the second-edition CD release of Smile, all of them constitute side four of the vinyl release.
The album also received multiple nominations for the 2004 Grammy Awards, including Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical (for Mark Linett). The album won one Grammy, in the category of Best Rock Instrumental Performance (for "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow," the same track which had caused Wilson such mental anguish at the end of the original recording sessions).
One person not pleased with the ultimate release of Smile was former Beach Boy Mike Love, who sued Brian Wilson in 2005 over it, claiming that Wilson's re-recording of songs originally recorded by the Beach Boys caused millions of dollars in damages to a partnership between himself and Wilson. However, Love's lawsuit was thrown out of court in 2007 by a federal judge, who determined that no such partnership existed between Love and Wilson at the time of the re-recordings and that none had existed for decades.
Three singles were released to promote the album:
In Lewis Shiner's novel Glimpses, the mental time-traveling protagonist meets and befriends Brian Wilson, and encourages Wilson to complete Smile over the objections of his bandmates. Glimpses won the 1994 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel.

text: Premier Uses AHRQ Research and Data to Improve Patient Safety and Evaluate Hospital Performance Value 2005 Premier, Inc., a not-for-profit U.S. health care alliance of hospitals and health care systems, is using AHRQ research and data in multiple efforts to improve patient safety and evaluate hospital performance. First, Premier has incorporated selected AHRQ Quality Indicators in its Perspective Suite of products to provide member hospitals with timely access to comparative quality data. Another effort is a pilot pay-for-performance program with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).Former AHRQ senior research scientist for quality indicators, Denise Remus, PhD, RN, is now Vice President of Premier's Clinical Informatics. Remus says that Premier is using the AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) to provide member hospitals and clients with details on potential adverse events and complications."Reports provide hospitals with comparative data to assist in prioritization of improvement efforts. Within the secure reporting environment, hospitals can then drill down to the individual patient level to examine diagnoses and procedures, care processes, and other variables to assist in identifying opportunities in clinical quality and efficiency," Remus explains.In another effort, CMS and Premier have partnered in the first national project to examine the impact of economic incentives on quality of care. With the Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration Project, CMS and Premier developed a program that pays incentives to top-performing hospitals and establishes a performance baseline to encourage the lower performers to improve.Remus notes, "Across the country, more than 270 hospitals are participating in the pilot program, representing all types of facilities: rural, urban, teaching, and non-teaching. Hospital sizes vary from those with fewer than 50 beds to some with more than 700."Hospitals participating in the demonstration project will be eligible for increased Medicare payments in five clinical areas if they are among the top performers. The top 10 percent of hospitals in each clinical area will receive a two-percent increase in Medicare payments. The next 10 percent will receive a one-percent increase.The clinical areas being evaluated are heart attack, coronary artery bypass graft, heart failure, community-acquired pneumonia, and hip-and-knee replacement. The project uses 34 quality measures for these clinical areas, including four of the AHRQ PSIs. Other quality measures were incorporated from the National Quality Forum, JCAHO, CMS, the American Hospital Association, and the Leapfrog Group.Premier is based in San Diego, California. The 200 hospitals and health care systems that own Premier operate or are affiliated with 1,500 hospital facilities and hundreds of other care sites. Premier's resources support health services delivery, including group purchasing, insurance programs, and performance improvement services of many kinds.

1Password leverages Touch ID, iOS 8 extensions to make passwords easy
1Password creator Agile Bits is showing off the convenience and security of having passwords in third-party apps while using its software and iOS 8's extensions. Because of the new extensions system in iOS 8, third-party apps can now better communicate with each other along with Apple's fingerprint Touch ID system.
What this means is that if you're logging into your Yelp or Chase online banking app, a pop-up will appear asking you to either enter a password, or authenticate yourself with 1Password if you have your user name credentials or ID secured and stored with the service. 1Password will pull that information and insert it into the app and allow you to securely sign in.
This way, you won't need to remember a billion different password entries.
Developers interested in integrating with 1Password should check the code at GitHub.
Is this quick way to secure your apps and services while having the convenience of easily entering your password information through Touch ID and password management services like 1Password a compelling enough reason to upgrade to iOS 8? Are you looking forward to this feature?

1Password leverages Touch ID, iOS 8 extensions to make passwords easy
Couldn't apps, such as Yelp or Chase, add the fingerprint identification, themselves (being that it will be available to all third party apps, upon iOS 8's release), as opposed to allowing a plugin from 1Password? I would imagine the individual app developers could choose to use one or the other, or both, so why have the redundancy? I kinda figured that 3rd party Touch ID support would make apps like 1Password obsolete for people who want to fully jump on the fingerprint bandwagon.
1) TouchID is only available for iPhone 5S. There is still ~800 million iOS users not having TouchID and they're not going away for the next 3-4 years.
2) Fingerprint merely unlocks the access to the iOS keychain, it does not actually replace the primary authorization within the apps. The apps must have something to unlock with, like your account password. Once you enter your account password, the app then can store it in the iOS keychain and use it for Fingerprint authentication. That's where 1Password come in, it can serve as the initial phase to fill in your password and you can then enable the app to use TouchID.
3) If you didn't notice, you can use the extension to generate a strong password and store it within 1Password, so that you can use it on other platforms like Windows, Android and iOS. Your iOS keychain does not sync these data across.
So, tell me if I understand his correctly. Turn on phone, no passcodes in cache, enter passcode to unlock iPhone, now that passcode is in the "secure enclave". But that that's only my unlock code. Each and ever app passcode must be entered after a system start? So you're saying that with 1Pass, I could just enter that 1passcode to load all passcodes for all apps into the secure enclave all at once. Then Touch ID would take care of the rest. Is that correct?
If so, seems handy.
Sent from the iMore App
SO. FREAKING. EXCITED! I really had high hopes for Touch ID like this after seeing how well it already works. Awesome.
Yea super feature, but what about mac, and when does anybody think apple would include Touch ID on mac so we can surf and login securely using Touch ID and apps like 1password to surf???
If anybodies heard anything would appreciate the heads up, thanks
This is the biggest upside for me with iOS 8 on my iPhone 5S. The potential for this is absolutely game changing. I love the idea to allow the finger print reader to act as what the PIN function works as now. If we can have the extensibility move to all applications, yet another reason to move more family to iOS and iPhone 5S or greater.
I've been using mSecure on my Mac and iPhone for a while. However, if they don't add this functionality, it is back to 1Password for sure.
Also, I am predicting a 1Password "Sale" right around the iOS 8 launch.
They are smart to go all in now. Be ready at launch and enjoy the benefits.
Sent from the iMore App
Can't wait to see this. I've been on 1Password for about 4 months and while it is super convenient on the Mac, switching apps to copy and paste on iOS gets tiresome.

You heard the one about the guy who checked into an Annapolis hotel room with a snake?
This guy checks in to the Loews Annapolis with some sort of snakein a Plexiglas box. They say fine, no problem. Show you to your room, sir?
You heard the one about the guy who checked into an Annapolis hotel room with a snake?
This guy checks in to the Loews Annapolis with some sort of snakein a Plexiglas box. They say fine, no problem. Show you to your room, sir?
The hotel these days is working to solidify its reputation among pet owners and animal lovers. If Motel 6 says, " 'We'll leave the light on for ya'," Loews might say, "We'll leave the water bowl out for ya."
Actually, they bring the water bowl in. If you check into the place with a dog, room service brings up a water bowl and biscuits on a silver tray. If you bring a cat, the biscuits are replaced by cat treats. This sort of thing can happen when animal lovers reachpositions of influence in major corporations.
In this case it wasRichard Flinn, the rooms division director. The West Street hotel had always welcomed guests with their pets. But Flinn, a two-dog man, started thinking one day about how the hotel might do something extra to accommodate pet owners -- sort of the animal equivalent of the mint on the pillow -- and perhaps help the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
He had a willing ear in hotel manager Thomas Negri, who owns a cockatoo named Punky and says he'd probably have other pets were his wife not allergic to animal dander.
In thespring, the hotel launched what it calls the Very Important Pet program. Three rooms are set aside for pet-bearing guests, and the hotel donates 5 percent of its room tabs to the Anne Arundel County SPCA; that's come to $312 so far.
The hotel has also set aside a grassy yard next to the hotel for dog-walking. It's called "Pet Park."
TheLoews is an elegant hotel, a place with a six-story atrium/ballroom,a place where it's hard to find a room for under $100 a night. Wateris served in heavy crystal glasses in the restaurant, and the chef learned his craft in France.
But while the 217-room hotel has attracted its share of beautiful people, it has also been a magnet for animals.
Flinn recalled that several stray dogs have found their way to the front door, and said a sparrow roosted for several months in the atrium, where the staff fed it water and seed until it found its way out.
Flinn said the pet program has gone without a hitch. Threeor four pet-owning guests a week have come and gone since the program began in late April.
Most have brought dogs, but there have alsobeen a couple of cats. And the snake.
Then there was Flinn's sister, Pam McKeowan, who stayed at the hotel while in the process of moving her family to South Carolina. She stayed at Loews with her husband, two children, a dog, two parakeets and a ferret. Their room, said Flinn, "was kind of like Noah's Ark." The ferret, he said, "liked thebathtub a lot."
The ferret and the snake are the most exotic animals that have stayed at Loews.
There's been nothing to compare with the time Flinn was working at the Peabody Hotel in Baltimore and the animal trainer stayed in a room with a fully grown white tiger, which was appearing in a locally filmed television commercial.
So far, the other guests haven't complained about barking dogs or screeching cats. The housekeeping staff has had to replace just one pet-damaged carpet.

No, I need bigger boots.
So my question is, instead of getting another larger sidi crossfire..... they are known on this forum as having a narrow toe box; what is a similar quality boot that has a bigger toe area for flatter feeted fookers like me? Gaeren SG10????
Disregard this. I've spent the past time checking all the threads about this on the internet, and will go for the Gaerne SG12. Mainly because the consensus seems to be that the Gaerne has a slightly wider boot. Also the pictures seem to show that the Gaerne does not have such a big hinge bolt on the inside like the Sidi's.
Also I noted that the Euro/UK sizing, not US seems to fool some people.
I wear Salomon boots size Euro 46&2/3 which is UK 11.5 and US12. So I"m going to get the same size in Gaerne, if they are a little loose, I'll go with hiking (thicker) socks.
FE-Moto.de out of Germany seems to be the cheapest.
Anyone got any input to this before I list my oldies for sale & order some newies?
edit: bugger, SG12s no longer available....????

In the month of August, extra care was taken to protect the significant historic tile floor inside the great stone church.
Initially a protective cloth layer was installed for protection. Later a layer of amended decomposed granite was lightly compacted on top to protect the two hundred plus year old tiles from further wear due to foot traffic.
Over the years, this system has worn away, under the constant foot traffic of visitors, exposing the original tiles beneath and threatening their integrity.
Mission Conservators and ARG Conservation Services, along with Stabilizer Solutions performed repairs and modifications to the existing protection system. Three cubic yards of loose, unstable material was removed and all existing protective cloth was analyzed and repaired. Next, fourteen cubic yards of new Sta-Lock modified decomposed granite were installed to provide a more substantial layer of protection than the original layer of amended decomposed layer. The material was sloped and graded towards a drainage system to divert any rainwater. This system will provide significant protection for years to come and compliments the site with a pleasingly natural feel and look. The compaction is further achieved by the footprints of the many visitors who reflect within this beautiful area.

Circumstanial evidence suggests that Iraq fired chemical or biological weapons at allied troops during the Gulf War, says a US senator. His views run counter to the Pentagon's version of events.
Donald Riegle, a Democrat from Michigan, argues that Iraq may have used the weapons during two nights in January 1991. A report by Riegle's staff says military personnel in Saudi Arabia heard explosions, felt burning sensations and smelt ammonia. In one US Army company, 85 of 110 people have since fallen ill, it says.
Thousands of Americans are reportedly suffering from such conditions as memory loss, joint pain, intestinal problems and fatigue, as a result of their service in the Gulf War, the report states.

Japan Moves to Secure PGMs Ahead of Potential Deficits

IBTimes Hong Kong reports that precious metals are back up this week as the US releases positive economic data.
They Sydney Morning Herald reports that platinum group metals are little changed due to their applications in industry this morning.
Mineweb reports that palladium barely rose as worries about Greece plagued investors through the weekend and the US dollar rose.
Forbes reports that Barclays Capital analysts are "positive" on platinum and palladium for the long term although they believe the metals will move up and down.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that platinum group metals may increase after European governments failed to agree on a Greek rescue package.
On January 5 palladium tumbled nearly 6 percent as the strong dollar knocked down all the precious metals. The metal hit a daily low of $178.50 an ounce, but was quoted at $180.00. On January 12 the metal picked up some steam, and rebounded to $191 per ounce.
Spot palladium rebounded on Monday, up more than 5 per cent from New York's notional close of $168.00. Palladium hit $176.50 per ounce as technical buying emerged after demand worries stemming from an ambiguous auto industry vote hit platinum group metals on Friday.
Prices of precious metals platinum, palladium and silver are expected to slump next year as demand sags in line with economic growth. This is tough news, considering how much of a price decline the metals have already witnessed in 2008.
Stillwater Mining CEO Frank McAllister believes that long-term demand for PGMs should be robust, as the current low metals prices cause production to dwindle. For full story, click here

Saturday sees the return of two of the great chasers of the last few years' with Long Run and Kauto Star renewing rivalries at Haydock. However, the horse that has put up the best chasing performance (in my view) in recent years will be running at Ascot. That horse like Kauto Star is trained by Paul Nicholls and few that were there at Cheltenham in 2008, will forget the display of Master Minded in the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
Three years later the horse has never quite repeated that performance, but he is still a brilliant chaser on his day. He does, however, have the odd bad run and has suffered defeat in four of his last nine starts, having won all bar one of his previous eight. That might be why he is available at 3.00 for Saturday's Ascot Amlin 1965 chase. Another reason is he is taking on a new crop of challengers in Captain Chris and Medermit. Whilst Master Minded was not at his best last time at Aintree, I expect to see a different horse on Saturday and giving small amounts of weight away to his principal rivals I expect a repeat of last success in this race.
Master Minded is a confident win bet at 3.00 which is available generally for the Ascot 14.10 on Saturday.

PANAMA CITY — A woman was hospitalized with second-degree burns early Tuesday morning after her brother allegedly doused her with hot grease, according to the Bay County Sheriff's Office.
Michelle Telfare was taken to a local hospital and then transported to a clinic specializing in treatment of burns after deputies found her with second-degree burns on her head and torso around 4 a.m. Investigators learned she had been arguing with her brother before she was hurt.
According to BCSO reports, Telfare and Atkinson live together with their mother in an apartment at 2205 E. 17th St. Deputies arrived around 4 a.m. and spoke with their mother, Grace Atkinson, who told them Albert Atkinson, 58, had been heating grease to cook something.
She said she turned off the stove and went back to bed in the room where Telfare was sleeping. A few moments later Albert Atkinson came into the room, threw grease on Telfare and told her she was going to die tonight.
Albert Atkinson left the house before deputies arrived, but they caught up with him a short time later at his girlfriend's house. He didn't make any incriminating statements to investigators, but he apparently told his girlfriend he'd burned his sister and "taken care of his problem."
Deputies arrested Albert Atkinson and charged him with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
Telfare's injuries are not expected to be life threatening, but it is possible she might be permanently disfigured, authorities said. The Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga. didn't provide any information about her condition Tuesday evening.

Scholarships for Ecuadorian Students
The Ecuadorian Scholars Fund (ESF) was created to inspire young ecuadorians to pursue a college degree. Organizacion Juventud Ecuatoriana (JUVE) strongly believes that education is the road to success, and has established this annual scholarship fund geared to support and encourage the leaders of tomorrow.
Ecuadorian Scholars Fund wil support Ecuadorian students living in the New York Tri-State Area to obtain a higher education degree through a financial contribution.
Our program will:
- Help this year with $1,000 scholarships to 10 Ecuadorian students living in the New York Tri-State area, with outstanding academic activity and involved in community work. Scholarships will be awarded on November, 2014.
- Monitor the performance of students during the fall semester of 2014 (September -December). This will allow the organization to provide support to scholarship recipients to ensure success. If the organization is unable to help the scholarship winners in some way, we will refer them to an entity that can address their specific case.
- Measure its success on January 15, 2015 to verify that the five students have completed the fall semester of 2014, and that their total grade point average (GPA) remains or exceeds 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
A committee has been put together for this project to coordinate the promotion process, receiving applications, the selection of the winners in this scholarship contest, and the evaluation of the project's success. This scholarship is intended to assist students in paying costs related to their studies at institutions located in the states of New York, New Jersey or Connecticut. The organization will work with the Department of Education and/or local universities to verify that students meet the criteria for these scholarships. The requirements to apply and participate in the scholarship competition are:
1. Must be an Ecuadorian citizen or of Ecuadorian descent.
2. Must be enrolled, or accepted, to study in the fall semester of 2014 at an accredited university in the NY Tri-State area.
3. Must have a total grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
4. Must participate in 2 workshops of "Leadership and Team Building" provided by JUVE.
5. Must provide proof of having completed a minimum of 15 hours of community service in 2014.
6. Must write an argumentative essay about the following topic:
"Recently, the United States is facing an immigration and humanitarian crisis caused by a growing influx of thousands of unaccompanied child immigrants. What measures should the US and Latin American governments take to alleviate this crisis, and prevent from happening in the future? Propose a detailed project or initiative."
For reasons of transparency, the people involved in the process of implementation, evaluation and selection of the winners may not receive any scholarships. The project began June 27, 2014 and end on January 15, 2015. The scholarship contest is open to the public through an electronic application on JUVE's website on July 15, 2014 at 12 am and will close on August 31, 2014 at 11:50 pm.
The Director of Programs is responsible for receiving electronic applications with all the requirements attached, and will assign an identification number for each essay. The purpose of the identification number is to conceal the name of the fellowship candidate and thus avoid any discrimination or preference. The same Director of Technology will submit the essays to the jury, and the requirements will be sent to the person assigned to verify such compliance. Consequently, the Director of Communications is responsible for reviewing compliance with the requirements submitted by the candidates for the scholarships. Requirements will be verified through documents from universities, high school, plus a digital copy (by scanner) of an identification from Ecuador (the applicant's, or their parents' or grandparents' if they were born in the U.S.). Additionally, the Director of Communications will check that candidates have met the requirements in the areas of Leadership, Team Building, and community service.
The selection committee (the jury) is comprised of professionals and educators from various sectors, who will evaluate all applications based on leadership, service Community trial quality, and academic performance. The Program Director and the President of the Board of Directors will receive the qualifications of candidates for the scholarships, will identify the 10 winners according to the results of the selection committee and will contact the 2014 scholarship contest winners.
The winners will be published in www.juventudecuatoriana.org and through press releases by September 10, 2014. The scholarship winners will be contacted via telephone by September 10, 2014, and that same day, those who did not win will be notified and will be thanked for their participation. The official presentation of the scholarships will be at a public event (Gala) in the Ballroom at 4 W 43rd St, New York, NY 10036, on November, 2014. The scholarship winners, the students who applied, sponsors, elected officials, the media, and members of the organization and of the community will be invited to this ceremony.
- Edwin Quito, Executive Director, will coordinate the project " Ecuadorian Scholars Fund " at JUVE and is responsible for the development, implementation and direction of this initiative.
- Daniel Maldonado, Director of Programs at JUVE, has the responsibility to create the application on page web, and coordinate the process of applying for scholarships.
- Jeannette Neto, Communications Director, is responsible for receiving and verifying compliance with the requirements of each scholarship.
- Ivan Calderon, Director of Human Resources, is responsible to keep records of attendance at the Leadership Training and Team Building by grantees.
- Dario Pantosin, Creative Director, has the responsibility to create the promotional material of the ESF to be distributed to the public.
- Carlos Guevara, President of the Board of Directors, will support the Program Director with the selection of winners, and project execution.
The effectiveness of the program will be evaluated through constant contact with the scholarship winners. The students will receive calls every two weeks to understand their current situation and provide personalized assistance. Each student will be requested copies of documents from the university like: the list of classes to be attended in the fall semester, and the progress report. A copy of the report card will be requested at the end of the fall semester to verify that the student completed the semester and maintained a 3.0 GPA or higher.
Organizacion Juventud Ecuatoriana will obtain donations through their own income generated in community and fundraising events. The events will create revenue through sponsorships awarded by companies and institutions (public and private) interested in the opportunity to advertise and support the scholarship fund. JUVE's goal is to make of The Ecuadorian Scholars Fund a permanent fund, and to expand scholarship opportunities to a more diversified pool of participants from the immigrant community of the Tri-state area.
Since its founding in 2007, Organizacion Juventud Ecuatoriana's work has been conducted with the cooperation of private donors, both individuals and small businesses, as well as with funds from the own pockets of the members who compose it. The task has not been easy but gradually JUVE has positioned itself within very few recognized group of organizations who share similar goals. Moreover, the organization is characterized by its focus on education and community awareness.
The annual scholarship project, with the creation of the permanent patrimonial fund "Ecuadorian Scholars Fund," is without a doubt a most ambitious and important project, not only for the organization but for the community as a whole. This importance is due mostly because its success has a long-term and direct positive impact in the life of those who will benefit in participating in the scholarship contest, and those who earn the scholarship.
Private financing has been absolutely necessary to keep this program running. The economic contribution of institutions like yours will meet our goal of creating a permanent charitable fund, thereby increasing the number of students who can benefit from this fund each year. Therefore, we urgently request your support and ask you to join our efforts to build strong professional to build strong communities.
For information on how to participate in this project, please contact the Director of the Project, Carlos Guevara at firstname.lastname@example.com

At Last, Something To Report On The ES This Week.
During the week, the Ernest Shackleton was alongside North Quay No.11 berth and then No.10 berth in King George Dock Hull on Humberside, OR Yorkshire, depending upon your political opinion.
It was whilst laying alongside, that we heard of a possible charter for the Vessel on a 'Mattress job'. I can now confirm that we successfully secured the contract and here is a picture below to prove that we have started the Charter in fine style !!
Click on the Image to see the 'Mattress Job' and the start of a long-awaited job.
In fact, the Mattress Job is a 3 to 5 day job with possible extensions for Annual Inspections, and the ship has to lay 25 'mattresses' to protect a Pipeline out here in the Indefatigable Field. We have 30 of these 'mattresses' onboard but only envisage laying 25 of them to complete the job. How long this will actually take is unknown, but is very weather dependent and should not take more than a few days if all goes well.
Above: Mobilising the vessel and the "mattresses". Click to enlarge.
It was Wednesday when Bluestream first enquired into the availability of the vessel and by Friday, we had visitors to inspect the ship and make sure we were fit-for-purpose. We must have been so, because on Saturday morning, the personnel, the ROV's (*) and the Mattresses all arrived at the ship's side.
(*)ROV – Remote Operated Vehicle – small submersibles.
Above you can see the Containers that house the ROV-shack being loaded onboard and in the holds, cables are being 'run-in' to allow power, communications and data to pass to/from the temporary arrangement and the bridge. These were all run-in and terminated within a 12-hours period on Saturday and the weather which had been dreadful during the week, eased up and allowed us a sunny day to complete the mobilization.
The Mattresses themselves are hardly the 'SlumberNice-type' of spongy affairs you may first think them to be. They are in fact dense blocks of concrete with a web of nylon ropes throughout which keeps the whole structure together. This can be lifted up in single go and positioned over the pipe, but each one weighs an impressive 9 - 10 tonnes. We managed to find homes for 30 of them, but due to the considerations of deck loading, the Chief Officer Antonio had to spread them all over the ship's working area to accommodate them all. Some in the Aft Hold, some in the Forward Hold. Some on the Aft Hatch and some on the Hatch of the Main Cargo Hold as you can see above.
By Evening meal, the mobilization was progressing and the Master arranged for the ship to be turned around at the quay so that when they were ready, the ROV's (two observation or 'eyeball' vehicles) could be launched and 'wet-tested'. Thereupon, all was made secure for sea and the Pilot took us out of the Hull King George Dock at 01.30am on the Sunday morning. After 6 weeks alongside, the Shackleton finally departed for sea, and only 10 days before our anticipated Crew Change ?? Will this now be delayed, or will we be returning to Hull in good time to have our 'handover' ? Again, it is all up in the air, but meanwhile, everyone finally got to sleep, exhausted, in the late hours of Saturday Night, or Sunday Morning.
This morning, we woke up to find an unusual sight outside of the portholes… SEA. Lots of sea. We were on passage for the Inde Field off Great Yarmouth and anticipate a noon arrival on location. The scope of the work includes a couple of 'surveys' of the pipeline with the eyeball ROV's to confirm the integrity of the pipe and upon successful completion, the laying of the mattresses can commence.
Wavey Davey's Wit Spot
Was it a busy day for Wavey Davey on Saturday too ?
Yes it was. His computer broke down and he had to THINK !
It has been a week of much industry on the ship here in Hull. Apart from landing a contract offshore, there was a crew-change of DPO (Dynamic Positioning Officers), on Wednesday where we welcomed back Johan Geuze, but there were also signs of activity on the bridge ! At one point the Paparazzi of the Bridge captured Johan wielding a coffee pot and actually making coffee !!
Above: Click to see evidence of a DPO at work.
Having said that, Johan does make an extremely 'passable' cup of coffee.
Johan was onboard in previous years. Check out 9th June 2002 and 14th July 2002 webpages for further details. For a third colleague, Mr Malcolm McGregor, it is the first time onboard the Ernest Shackleton and if 'first impressions' are anything to go by, he thinks his time onboard is going to be a very pleasant stay indeed. We welcome Johan and Malcolm onboard along with 13 members of the Bluestream team who joined yesterday.
Once back at sea, it was 'Business as usual'. It is like the Ernest Shackleton had never been in port. At 11.15am this morning the Alarm Bells sounded and the accompanying tannoy announced, 'This is a Drill, This is a Drill'.
One by one, the various teams around the ship 'mustered' and reported in to the Bridge. 'Alpha Fireteam, All present and correct'. 'Medical Team, All present and correct'. 'All correct in the Engine Control Room'. It takes all of 3 minutes for the various parties to report in and for the Radio Officer – keeping the log – to report 'That's all persons present and accounted for, Sir'.
All the 'supernummaries' are mustered with Micky Quinn the Purser in the Mess Room. Whilst they congregate in 'warm clothing and proper footware', the 2nd phase of the exercise starts with Ch. Officer Antonio announcing to the Fireteams to 'Go and Prepare the Boats'. Upon the command, 2nd Officer Alan from Fireteam Alpha and 3rd Officer Mike from Fireteam Bravo make their way to the Starboard and Port lifeboats respectively and prepare them for launching. The 'cox' takes his seat at the controls of the boat ready to start them up once all are onboard, the next in the team grab hold of the 'muster lists' for each boat and prepare to account once again for all personnel and assure that no-one is left behind, and the Fireteam members now become 'launchers', releasing the 'gripes', manning the controls which will swing the 'Davits' outboard and handing out the lifejackets to the supernummaries and crew as they arrive on station at the lifeboats. It's a well-oiled machine brought about by repetitive drills and constant practice.
Phase 3 is when the Captain announces to the Engine Control Room and the Mess room that we are about to 'Abandon Ship' (''for exercise only''). At this command, the ECR passes control and monitoring (UMS) to the Bridge and the Supernummaries are escorted to their survival craft for immediate boarding. Again this is all accomplished in a matter of minutes and by 11.29am the boats are full (with the exception of those still 'driving' on the bridge) and awaiting the Master's final and VERBAL COMMAND to Abandon Ship. This is not forthcoming today, instead Antonio tells Alan and Mike to instruct those in the boats about the pertinent points of the Boat Drill and the importance of proper clothing and PPE (Personal Protective Clothing) now that we are in North Sea Mode.
By 11.34am it is all over. Another 'weekly drill' is logged in the log books meeting the MCA requirement for regular exercises such as this. All life-jackets and lifesaving equipment is stowed back in it's proper place ready for the next drill or (God forbid) any circumstance that may require us to run for the boats.
Glossary :
Tannoy = Public Announcement over the ships PA System.
Log book = book in which events connected with the ship are entered.
Muster = To assemble at a specified place.
Supernummaries = Non-ships crew.
Starboard = Right / Port = Left.
Cox or Coxswain = Person who steers a boat and is in charge of the crew.
Gripes = Sennit strips by which a boat is prevented from swinging when suspended from davits at sea.
Davit = Iron or Steel fitting projecting over ship's side for hoisting and lowering boats.
Forthcoming Events : Another drill NEXT week !!!
Forthcoming Events: Continue with the survey of the Pipeline and then commence the laying of the Mattresses. Once the job is completed, either return to Hull or extend the contract and continue a program of work for our present Client. To Be Advised.
Contributors this week: Bluestream – for giving me something to write about this week. Acknowledgement to Layton's Dictionary of Nautical Words and Terms for the Glossary.
Diary 07 should be written by Sunday 18th and available for publishing on Monday 19th.

Free Flash Media Server Alternatives
Today, many projects are built around real-time communication (text, voice or video) like collaboration tools, chat applications and much more.
Adobe® Flash® Media Server is probably the most widely used solution for streaming video and real-time communication. It is a stable product that has been experienced for years and used by many companies.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a free solution to stream your media, there are so few alternatives that you can rely on.
And here are 2 of them (if you know any other free and solid ones, please share):
Red5 is an open source Flash server that is written in Java and supports:
- streaming audio/video (FLV, MP3, F4V, MP4, AAC, M4A)
- recording client streams (FLV only)
- shared objects
- live stream publishing (Sorenson, VP6, h.264, MP3, AAC and more)
It has installers for OSX and Windows. Also, it can be downloaded as a zip file to be used in any OS.
Mammoth Server
Mammoth is also an open source Flash streaming server that is built with C++ and can run on Windows and *nix OSs.
It can stream all Flash codecs like h263, h264, mp3, vp6, speex, nellymoser, etc.
By using FFmpeg it has has container support for most formats: mov, flv, mkv, mp3 and more.
The server is still in alpha phase but very promising.
If you know any other free and solid alternatives, please share and we'll be happy to add them to the list.

These work is very useful for many users . Thanks so much…
Ross June 9th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
We evaluated using Red5 but with our VPS server it just consumed way too many resources. We decided rather to go with SimpleCDN (http://simplecdn.com) to stream the video. Works great with flowplayer, is very simple to setup, and is ridiculously cheap!
Jordan Walker June 9th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
Not sure how to implement this sort of flash server. It looks promising.
JohnDel June 9th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
Red5 last version (0.8) is very hard to use for developing something new from server side, it uses spring and nobody pays attention to write a good tutorial, all tutorials is out-dated.
There are many rtmp servers, like python rtmpy which I liked but unfortunately nothing is compared with the libraries of the server side actionscript and the ease of use, and these streaming servers can be used only if you pay. I hope one day red5 be a better alternative, but right now you can't even find how to setup easily with eclispe and write a simple playlist.
If on the other hand, you only care for client side use and use of streaming abilities, red5 is a good solution.

really strange commenting system, does not tell you anything after submission and the post does not appear
Aleksander June 10th, 2010 at 5:38 am
Opera has Opera Unite with a application to do this.
Q-efx June 25th, 2010 at 7:27 am
You could use two mods for apache which allows pseudo streaming, I use them and no problems so far
Or you could use cherokee webserver, which has built in pseudo streaming…
Troy February 29th, 2012 at 5:29 pm
Red 5 looks promising. Mammoth looks a little bit new, and with Adobe's recent announcement regarding the future of Flash, I wonder how much time will be put into getting it to Beta.

analysisBy Lesley Stones
Here's a play that could be elevated from pretty good to smoking in just two easy steps: cut it down and bring it home.
For a 20-year-old play, The Mother of All Eating is sadly more relevant now than it was in the past.
Unlike science fiction stories where the predictions often prove embarrassingly wrong, the play's prediction of government corruption leeching all the way to the top has been fulfilled.
So kudos to playwright Zakes Mda, but shame on us, South Africa.
Except that this play highlighting and satirising corruption is set in Lesotho. Although we kept having to be reminded of that, in case we thought the government ministers and parastatals being lampooned were ours. And of course they are, so retaining the play's original Lesotho setting when the author is South African and the problems are ours seems like pussyfooting around. Like shouting 'stop thief' then pointing at the wrong man.
It's time to bite the bullet and bring it home.
It wouldn't take much doing, just some name changes and a dropping of the references to Lesotho.
Director Makhaola Ndebele has already changed the play substantially by dividing the original one-man script between...

12th of November 2013Visited this property on 8 Nov 2013, booked 3 Villas for large group. Well maintained villa with nice ambiance. The lawn is green and well spread out. Highlight is the Bar Counter inside the Villa :) but without booze. Only issue is with the food, though they have fully furnished kitchen in each villa but wish they also provide the cook. We ordered our food from the nearby restaurant.

COLUMBIA CITY  — Agricultural Museum President Don King recently accepted a "generous"donation for the Shelter House Restoration Fund from Jared Bennett, a representative of Memcor Inc. of Huntington County.
The Shelter House, a historic building located on the Whitley County 4-H Fairgrounds, was in need of restoration, but lack of funds initiated a donation call out.
"Bennett was a 10-year member of 4-H in Whitley County and expressed a desire to support the project that will be beneficial for our young people," said project representatives. "He feels it is important to restore the building that was the first permanent building on the fairgrounds. It played an important part in his years in 4-H."
The Ag Museum has received gifts from the community for this restoration project. The roof has been replaced and the next projects will be to restore the stone fireplace and install a wood cook stove. The electrical system will be completely redone with new lights and wiring.
New fans will help circulate the heat from the fireplace and cook stove in the cool months and help cool the building in the summer months.
Kissinger Electric has volunteered to replace the present electrical system in the building.
For those interested in helping fund this project, donations may sent to the Whitley County Extension Office, 115 S. Line St., Columbia City, IN, 46725. Mark donations in care of " Shelter House Fund."
