To me, the saddest thing about the whole Win 8 touchscreen-tablet-OS-for-your-PC fiasco was that there was no competitor ready to pounce on this corporate blunder with a competitive product. There was money to be made, vast amounts of it, and a opportunity to be grasped. But there's no real vendor competing for the OS market, and the customers are at the mercy of Microsoft.
Such are the dangers of an OS monopoly.
Edit: For the record, I was happy with XP. The only advance Win 7 gave me was DirectX10 and DirectX 11. Those could have been fitted to XP just as easily.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

That's largely because Microsoft is right - the desktop PC isn't dead, but it's been relegated to old hardware and the workplace where you can't get away from Word/Excel/Photoshop/Visual Studio/etc.
All the new consumer computing is mobile and/or touchscreen. Go to Best Buy, or Costco, or Wal-Mart, and 75%+ of all computers there will either be laptops (many with touchscreens), hybrids (most with touchscreens) or tablets (almost all with touchscreens). And even that market is rapidly shifting - most of those tablets and many of those hybrids and laptops aren't running x86 - they are running ARM, and a lightweight OS (Android/iOS) and leveraging connectivity (i.e. "The Cloud") to make up the difference - and while there will always be some segment that this can't work for, for many many people, it does works, and it works very well.
Apple realized this back in 2008 - and that's why we haven't seen much movement in their desktop hardware or software -- it's still there, they know people will always have a need for it, but that isn't a growing segment. Desktop use is on the decline to some baseline level -- you support what you already have, you make incremental low-effort improvements so you don't drop off the map, but you don't throw a lot of money in after it thinking it'll be huge.
Windows already has two major competitors (although I hesitate to call them competition, that really isn't the right word, because your right, they have a near monopoly on the desktop OS) - OS X is popular, but it's hardware restricted, you can't run it on any desktop, so that's a big setback to OS X. And there's Linux, but it's fragmented into hundreds of different distributions, all hoping to be the next breakout -- but not many of them have much in the way of financial backing, and the fragmentation (which they love to bill as "choice") is actually a detractor, particularly when it introduces problems with software distribution and compatibility. Maybe SteamOS will help solidify that camp, but that remains to be seen.
So why would something new jump in there? They'd be jumping after a sinking ship, and I think most companies that are in a position to develop or release a desktop OS realize that.
The problem Microsoft has is that they realized this about 4 years too late. They needed to start shifting with this after Vista. They have a good strategy with Windows 8 - provide a common interface across phone/tablet/touch/desktop - that makes sense, on paper. And if your coming into computers fresh - it works ok because you don't have any preconceived notion of what should be where. But pretty much everyone is comfortable with the desktop metaphor - it's been around since before 1984 where the original Macintosh made it the de facto standard (iirc they ripped it off of Xerox Parc to be fair). Windows 8, in all it's incarnations, makes a push away from that. Compound that by the fact that there's a lot of inoperability between the different Windows 8 versions (aside from Office, what else can you do on RT?), and you end up with 3 different versions of Windows 8 that, while they look the same on the outside, really aren't the same at all and are extremely segregated in terms of what they have available.
The Windows 8 plan sounded good in theory, but it failed in execution of the little details. If you could run Phone/RT apps on an x86 (via an emulator, which probably exists for developers), and one purchase works on all devices (Phone/RT/x86), and x86 didn't treat every computer as a handheld touchscreen (try having a forced full screen email client on a 32" monitor - it's ridiculous - and that's the real problem with Metro, not the Live Tiles Start screen), and a handful of other minor details that got glossed over in the touch-inspired mania, the Windows 8 ecosystem would have been a juggernaut.

First of all Microsoft doesn't give a flying %#$& about pc gamers. The reason win 8 exists is for the new platforms out there and for enterprise environments. 99% of you won't even use the advanced enterprise options included within win 8 or know about how it works even if using it at work.
Gamers are not the driving force behind these changes. I deal with clients every day that still use the old win 98 interface and if you move one icon on their desktop they become completely lost. It is the business user driving change not pc gamers.
Gamers can move to win 8 for whatever reason but it certainly isn't one MS really cares about.

Well that's good news. I like 8. While I too pretty much am tired of hearing "I hate it because it's different" this would be a welcome change. I'm not sure I'll run pure "classic mode" if there's a place in between. I like having my mail front and center. I like my apps. I really like the idea of running those apps windowed. Windows 8 has been better for performance gaming wise especially since 8.1. it brought a lot when introducing the windows app store even for desktops. I won't go back to 7. Not because it's not a perfectly solid os but because there are things in 8 I've learned to not want to live without. The main reason 8 isn't just simply "great" is that you have two kinds of programs. The new apps and the legacy desktop programs. Get rid of that divide and there goes the last legitimate reason not to run the OS as a consumer.

Meh, I like Start Screen. I'm a control freak and like being able to create program groups.
I have to use Win7 at work. I would love to use Mint or Win8, but it's just too much to ask my boss to fork over for additional Windows licenses just so I can have a more comfy work environment. I do use Win8 at home when I'm working remotely and I love it. I'm also a huge fan of Linux Mint and honestly would use that as my main OS if I could easily get my games to work on it.
What I would like to see out of future iterations of Windows:
- Top Priority: Merge explorer and modern. Having two separate and essentially disparate systems try and control one piece of hardware is ludicrous in my opinion. They need to merge them and have different modes of operation by default on different types of hardware.
- Windowed Modern Apps: In a desktop environment modern apps need to have a windowed mode. Actually they just need to revamp how windows programs work. If they merged explorer.exe and modern interface this could be addressed.
- Ditch native backwards compatibility: This is subjective, but Microsoft needs to find a point and stop supporting old programs directly. They could virtualize the runtime sort of like Win7 pro does with xp mode apps. I haven't research too far into this, but backwards compatibility is a serious problem.
When you look deeply at how things work and some of their implementations there is sort of a mess under the hood of Windows. It's not huge, but it is significant. For example, try moving the User directory from the standard C: drive to another drive. It's a nightmare. The defaults, limitations, and folder structure requirements of the modern interface seriously inhibit and interfere with user control of the OS. The two systems (explorer and modern) don't respect each other. What I mean is what you can do in one, permissibly can break the other. I find the modern interface to be the more restrictive and less polished of the two. Modern was bolted on and that is a problem.
No one has as many friends as a man with many cheeses!

Why doesn't Microsoft just make a OS that would appeal to PC gamers?

Whichever way you cut it, Win 8 does not improve on Win 7 in any single way that actually matters, Windows 8 is just a mistake, its based on faulty design reasoning - integrate Xbox and PC's. The only way MS is going to sell a new OS now, that will really encourage gamers, and by definition, Win 7 users to 'upgrade' is to come out with a Win 9 that actually improves something. Win 8 is a dead end, much the same way that Windows ME was (and who remembers that without using 4 letter words!)
Win 8 is dead. MS is trying to revive a corpse

Win8's big thing was to force people into using Microsoft's mobile interface, to get them used to it, instead of Android or ios or some such. It was a brain dead move because it forced a touchscreen interface onto a user base that had a very low percentage of touchscreens. It could easilly have asked (or checked) at installation which you had. But that wasn't the point. They also focused strongly on optimizing start up times, because they had discovered through focus groups that that's what people mostly noticed. There's also the lure of a walled-garden Apple-style app store. Microsoft would love to control that sort of thing.
Instead of providing options they decided to throw in all sorts of basically unneeded desktop changes. In part because if they didn't have loads of changes, people might ask why they didn't just upgrade Win7.
When I get a touchscreen, I will try Win8.
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

The way I saw it, they tried to have one OS look for their console, tablets and PCs, so people could easily go from one device to another and know exactly how to use without ever picking up that device before. While this is all nice if all three worked the same, or all three platforms were new, but as a long term windows user, I remember 3.11 and the change to 95 all the way up to windows 7, I touched windows 8 about 3 times so far, and it just felt clunky, I had to do about 3 more things to get to the same place as on windows 7, for no real reason. I'm glad they are moving back to the normal desktop, ad i hope there is a speed increase from win 7, even though its fast I have heard newer tech is enabling win 8 to be even faster, whether thats true or not is to be seen. But probably like some, I'll most likely just wait for windows 9 lol.

I would not mind actually upgrading from win 7 to win 8 but there just is not enough of a reason to at this time. Win 7 functions just fine for what I need, my wife and kid are used to it and can navigate it quickly. For my household there is no justification for buying two copies of Win 8 to put on our PCs. I can live with a 15 sec boot time vs a 6 second boot time.
I think for many people this holds true. When win 7 is working great, with a familiar and easy to navigate UI why spend the money on something just because its new.
Personally I would like to have 8 on my PC, but other than the fact that I want it there is no reason to spend money on a new OS when 7 is doing everything I need it to and more.
I can see the appeal, just not $100 worth to me personally.

I haven't reached the point that the marginal benefits of upgrading from XP are worth upgrading to Win 7 yet. I suppose I'll have to skip Win 7 and go straight to Win 8. :-)
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

I was under the impression that while Win 8 isn't a huge leap over Win 7, it's certainly not any worse.
Maybe SteamOS will actually take off and gamers will have an OS made just for them. :-)

Got new rig with win 8.1 works just fine. It's easy to setup in classic mode with start button and boot to desktop. Not quite sure what all the fuss is.

Steam OS, will rely on developers making games for it. ( or having 2 PCS 1 running steamOS and the other running windows to stream your games from) I hope to see some devs start supporting linux though
Windows 8.1 is great, and its really easy to use. I never use the metro screen nor do i need to use any "apps" it offers.
It looks different and that must be worse is the biggest thing i see people having issues with. Once you learn how to use it, Getting things done and finding things is much easier.
The only real issue i have with windows 8 is i cant get my computer to sleep or wake up from sleep properly.

To repeat a year later windows 8 is faster. You guys miss all the important stuff. For anyone with any kind of knowledge about windows shortcuts from like the 90s will find it much easier to use windows 8. Sure hitting windows key d to bring you to the desktop each day you log in is an extra half a second to complain about but really get over it. Plus doesn't windows 8.1 have direct to desktop boot.
But that's not the problem with windows 8. The problem is all your apps that aren't compliant that are mostly old like lineage 2. Wont work. And lineage 2 in particular will make your system completely freeze demanding a complete reboot.
I'm actually on windows 8 and have not upgrade to windows 8.1. Because when you look deep into the files running you will find a whole bunch of junk that you wouldn't want. Such as a built in vpn, skydrive. Also something that wasn't in the windows 8 beta which is in both released copies of windows 8 now is the built in virus support which has been rated the worst with alot of false positives. You can't even disable it. Games affected are aion and I imagine is the problem with lineage except causes your system to freeze because it thinks the anti hack program is a virus which is kind of is but doesn't really pose much harm to your computer. Then there's also a connection with microsoft thats open all the time which makes you a little worried about security. These are just a few examples of major problems with windows 8 that a not even complete software savy person noticed.
Windows 8 is mostly made for mostly average consumers to boost the economy by helping people to find stuff to buy. It is not really recommended for working enviroments completely. But microsoft operating system is practically a monopoly owning practically all operating systems with 90%+. And gaming wise it's the only operating system choice. Steamos just went into open beta but even when it launch I think they already said it only supports a very limited amount of games and only games on the steam client. It's something to hope for to have other options but I imagine it wont really matter much for a few years.

I have skydrive disabled in services now, (never used it or was forced too before disabling it). Built in VPN? never used it, never came across it and its never caused an issue if i havent noticed it. Thanks for telling me though ive been disabling allow remote assistance since windows XP. /shrug

*We* are the music makers... and *we* are the dreamers of dreams.
I know it makes you feel better by acting superior and calling others "troglodytes" but in the end its a true indication how inane and insecure you really are.
It's an old saying that sticks around because of the inherent truth, If it's not broken don't fix it.
The interface was an attempt at pushing people toward the tech they wanted to market and sell period, it was unnecessary being put on PC's.
The scary part is one day the world will be run by adults who were never spanked as kids and got trophies just for participating.

Buying 8 when you already have 7 is IMO not worth the money. I installed 7 when I built my PCs, before then I ran XP until I built and actually had to buy a new OS license. If I built or bought a new PC today it would have 8 on it.
Thats just my opinion.

To the above poster that was saying something negative about a tablet OS being a mistake. That's completely false as with a tablet the "metro" interface works quite well. The problem Microsoft did was making it the default interface regardless of what type of system you were using.
Most people complaining about Windows 8 just don't like "different", they can't adjust so they complain.

The LinkedIn logo is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=11096Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP EPS (collectively the "non-GAAP financial measures"). The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The company believes that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The company excludes the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP measures: Stock-based compensation. The company excludes stock-based compensation because it is non-cash in nature and because the company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance and liquidity. The company further believes this measure is useful to investors in that it allows for greater transparency to certain line items in its financial statements and facilitates comparisons to competitors' operating results. Amortization of acquired intangible assets. The company excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets because it is non-cash in nature and because the company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance and liquidity. In addition, excluding this item from various non-GAAP measures facilitates internal comparisons to historical operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating results. Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. Excluding the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments from the provision for income taxes assists investors in understanding the tax provision related to those adjustments and the effective tax rate related to ongoing operations. Assumed preferred stock conversion. As a result of the company's initial public offering, all outstanding shares of preferred stock were automatically converted into shares of Class B common stock. Consequently, non-GAAP diluted net income per share has been calculated assuming the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into shares of Class B common stock. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the "Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures" table in this press release. This accompanying table has more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. Additionally, the company has not reconciled adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income guidance because it does not provide guidance for other income, net and provision (benefit) for income taxes, which are reconciling items between net income and adjusted EBITDA. As items that impact net income are out of the company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, the company is unable to provide such guidance. Accordingly, a reconciliation to net income is not available without unreasonable effort.Safe Harbor Statement "Safe Harbor" statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This press release and the accompanying conference call contain forward-looking statements about our products, including our planned investments in key strategic areas, certain non-financial metrics, such as member growth and engagement, and our expected financial metrics such as revenue, adjusted EBITDA, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation for the second quarter of 2012 and the full fiscal year 2012.

Patagonia – 150 years ago, in 1865, the clipper The Mimosa set sail from Liverpool for Patagonia. On board were a group of hopeful Welsh families, men, women and children, committed to setting up a Welsh community 7,000 miles away, in Patagonia, where they could speak their own language and live their lives without persecution. Against all odds, they succeeded, and there is still a Welsh speaking community in Patagonia today.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Just find a way
Stanford didn't do it. Arizona State did.
Utah is a bad team on the road. But when they are in Salt Lake City, they are very tough. Just ask David Shaw and The Cardinal.
The Utes had the second longest streak in the nation for holding halftime leads heading into Saturday's contest against the Sun Devils. They had won 49 straight games when they started the second half on top. They will now have to start a new streak due to the Devils' comeback.
But give them credit. There's a reason their defense has the second-most sacks in the country.
However, wins do not hide issues. Oregon State, UCLA and Arizona will pore over this film.
This was, by far, the worst game of the year for ASU's offensive line. For three and a half quarters, the front five of Arizona State gave no hope for Taylor Kelly.
The double moves for wide receivers were completely gone.
Grice and Kelly found little room to run.
It didn't go according to the game plan, but ASU won for a very simple reason: their offense is just too good for any defense to completely lock them down for four quarters. The key was the defense keeping ASU in the game long enough for the offense to finally click.
The defense had played well the entire game when it came to holding Utah, points-wise. The struggle was yards. The combination of QB runs for Wilson and the incredible punting killed ASU in the field position game. With the offense struggling to protect the quarterback, they could not move the football on long drives. So much credit goes to the ASU defense because today was their day.
In the end, good teams find ways to win.
How often in past ASU games were there breakdowns all over the place? If the defense played well, the offense never put it together or would even turn the ball over. If the offense was scoring left and right, special teams would suffer blocked punts for touchdowns or short fields. Every way a football game can be lost, bad teams find a way to do it. Obviously, the opposite is true for good teams.
ASU did not get lucky against Wisconsin. ASU did not get lucky against Utah. ASU is a good football team and good football teams win football games.
Good football teams out-gain their opponents 171 yards to 17 in the fourth quarter.
Good football teams force two fourth quarter interceptions.
Good football teams win two straight on the road.
The lesson of never panicking has been reinforced. Some of the defensive mis-alignments that plagued ASU early in the year popped up at times against Utah but were much more quickly rectified.
If ASU was playing for a national championship, this wasn't good enough because you have to win pretty against bad teams. When you're in the second year of the tenure of your head coach and you've got one conference loss to one of the best teams in the country with only three games remaining -- and two of those remaining games are at home -- you're completely out-pacing the norm.
As the great ("great" in a Hollywood sense) Hickory High School head coach Norman Dale said in Hoosiers, "This is your team."
The Pac-12 South goes through Tempe.

U.S. Stocks Fall on European Debt Concern; Google, EBay Slump
Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks declined, preventing the third straight monthly advance for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, amid concern that Europe's government debt crisis will worsen and as Google Inc. faced an antitrust probe.
Google fell 4.5 percent, the most since July, after European Union antitrust regulators began an investigation. EBay Inc. dropped 3.6 percent after the stock's rating was cut at Piper Jaffray & Co. Bank of America Corp. slumped 3.2 percent, the most in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, as the cost to insure its debt against default climbed to a 16-month high.
The S&P 500 fell 0.6 percent to 1,180.55 at 4 p.m. in New York, below its end-of-October level of 1,183.26. The Dow lost 46.47 points, or 0.4 percent, to 11,006.02. Stocks briefly erased declines as President Barack Obama suggested he's willing to compromise with Republicans on extending tax cuts.
"The things that we've put to bed are waking up again," said Philip Orlando, the New York-based chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors Inc., which manages $341.3 billion. "Ireland is a problem. The question is how far behind are Portugal and Spain? The market is concerned that this is going to become a bigger deal."
Since reaching a two-year high on Nov. 5, the S&P 500 has lost 3.7 percent. For the second time in two sessions, the stock index has rebounded after falling below its average price from the past 50 days, a level watched by analysts who make forecasts based on chart patterns.
Europe Concern
Government securities and the euro are being dragged down by concern Portugal and Spain may suffer the fate of Ireland, which had to ask for an 85 billion-euro ($111 billion) rescue package to help bail out its banks. Italian and Spanish bond yields rose today and the extra yield investors demand to hold 10-year Italian debt instead of benchmark German bunds widened to more than 200 basis points for the first time since the euro's debut in 1999.
U.S. stocks extended declines in the final 15 minutes of trading after S&P said it may cut Portugal's credit ratings on concern that the government has made little progress on boosting economic growth to offset the fiscal drag from scheduled 2011 budgetary cuts.
Mohamed El-Erian, the chief executive officer at Pacific Investment Management Co., said Europe's debt contagion will likely spread to nations such as Spain and Portugal. The 16-nation euro will probably be shared as a currency by fewer countries in five years, he said in an interview on CNBC today.
Technology Slumps
Technology companies, the biggest S&P 500 industry among 10, slumped 1.4 percent collectively.
Google lost 4.5 percent to $555.71. The company is being probed by EU antitrust regulators for allegedly discriminating against competing services in its search results and for stopping some websites accepting rival ads.
EBay dropped 3.6 percent to $29.14. The owner of the second-most visited e-commerce site was cut to "neutral" from "overweight" at Piper Jaffray, which said the company will lose market share in the next two years.
Bank of America retreated 3.2 percent to $10.95, the lowest price since May 2009. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who told Forbes magazine that he'll release documents from a U.S. bank next year, said in 2009 that his group had a hard drive from a Bank of America executive. In an e-mailed statement, Bank of America said it has no evidence WikiLeaks has the device.
The benchmark index for U.S. stock options rose to a two-month high. The VIX, as the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, rallied 9.3 percent to 23.54. It closed above its average price from the past 200 days for the first time since Oct. 4.
70 Minutes Earlier
The CBOE said today that VIX futures will start trading 70 minutes earlier, at 8:20 a.m. New York time. Currently, they start changing hands when U.S. stock exchanges open.
The S&P 500 pared a decline of as much as 1.2 percent as Obama said he asked Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and budget office director Jack Lew to lead negotiations with congressional Republicans on extending Bush-era tax cuts.
"If Geithner has been appointed to deal with Congress, it means that the president sees the tax issue as a high priority," said Keith Wirtz, who oversees $18 billion as chief investment officer at Fifth Third Asset Management in Cincinnati. "That's good for the market. The tax issue has been among the biggest uncertainties thus far. If that is resolved, stocks may have a chance to move forward."
The S&P 500 bounced off its average price of the last 50 days after yesterday dipping below it for the first time since September, Bloomberg data show. Ryan Detrick, senior technical analyst at Schaeffer's Investment Research, says the index may have found support at that level.
"It's encouraging thus far that we haven't violated it," Cincinnati-based Detrick, who studies charts to make forecasts, said in an interview. "That could be a very positive thing moving into the new year."
Some retail companies were among the best performers in the S&P 500. Weekly retail sales rose by 0.5 percent for the week ending Nov. 27, according to the ICSC-Goldman Sachs Weekly Chain Store Sales Index. Retail sales rose by 3.5 percent on a year-over-year basis. Gap Inc., the clothing retailer, gained 3.1 percent to $21.36. Lowe's Cos., the second-largest U.S. home-improvement retailer, rose 1.5 percent to $22.70.
Research In Motion Ltd. climbed 4.8 percent to $61.83, the highest price since June 17. The BlackBerry maker was raised to "buy" from "hold" at Jefferies Group Inc.

Next year, professors of political science Kerry Ratigan and Ashley Burns will offer students the chance to dig deep in public policy. Listen as they share stories of their own research and why they're excited to bring policy into the classroom.
After nearly a decade of researching health care policy in China, assistant professor of political science Kerry Ratigan is ready to ask students to tackle real policy questions in the classroom. "Because I'm interested in inequality and social policy, and these issues that have real implications for peoples' everyday lives, I think it's important push students to think about how you would go about solving these problems," she says.
Listen as she shares some of her major findings in her social policy research in China and why she's excited to bring her research on Chinese policies to the classroom.
For Ashley Burns, assistant professor of political science, public policy is an opportunity to do "problem-driven work." Burns has spent years looking at public housing as a way to understand social stratification, particularly in the American south. "I'm trying constantly to weave together who we are and the things we've been through with what we are reading in class," she says. "Luckily, I think that teaching public policy makes it a lot easier to do that."
Listen as she talks about how she got her start researching public housing in the U.S. south and her hopes for her students today.

February 2014—story by CCE staff writer Jenny Morgan, photo by Sandra CostelloRobert Siudzinski never meant to be an educator. He was, in fact, adamantly opposed to the idea for most of his early life. "When you come from a family of 14 teachers, your Thanksgiving dinners are always about 'my kids' and new school policies.' I wanted to be a cowboy or an astronaut or anything else." Yet there's only so much one can do to stave off the inevitable. Almost immediately after graduating from college, he found himself being asked—repeatedly—to teach.
Pioneer Valley Soundscapes expands understanding of music in the community
October 2013—William Cumpiano, a master luthier—one who repairs stringed instruments—poses in his workshop on the Northampton-Easthampton town line. Cumpiano was featured in A Taste of Music in the Pioneer Valley's Puerto Rican Community, one of the many documentaries in the Pioneer Valley Soundscapes archive. Photo by Thomas Sibley '10, story by Jenny Morgan.In recent years, Assistant Professor of Music Jeffers Engelhardt has been on somewhat of a mission: to get people in the Pioneer Valley thinking "more expansively about the human involvement in music." In 2009, Engelhardt made real a piece of this mission by creating the community-based learning course, Pioneer Valley Soundscapes, to enable students to practice fieldwork and document the musical landscape of the region. For Engelhardt, part of thinking expansively about music has also meant blurring the boundaries between the campus and the community—and this spring, he's introducing new technologies that will enable community participation in Pioneer Valley Soundscapes in unprecedented ways.

On Friday, September 20, Associate Professor of Music and composer Eric Sawyer will debut his second opera, The Garden of Martyrs, at the Academy of Music in Northampton, Mass.

Stress, it seems, is everywhere.
And while it certainly doesn't take a scientist to notice it, scientists across a range of disciplines are asking serious questions about just what all this stress might mean for our health. Students in Amherst College's community-based learning course, Biochemical Principles of Life at the Molecular Level, have brought their own questions to bear on the complex relationship between human health and stress. From the psychological effects of bullying to the anti-inflammatory potential of yoga, the 25 students of this upper-level biochemistry course designed and implemented their own inquires of how stress impacts health.
As part of their final research projects, students in the class presented their group research in a poster session open to the public. Dick Aronson, who co-taught the course with Pat O'Hara, notes that they intentionally structured the course to be a community. "In order to be healthy and learn well, it's really important to have a sense of community and a sense of connection. We were pretty explicit from the beginning that we considered the class a community in itself."

Illinois Public Unions Target….Democrats?
Scott Walker got all the ink because of his fight against the unions, but unions are starting to feel the pinch all over the country. That's true even in Barack Obama's home state of Illinois and they're not very happy about it.
The latest battle between organized labor and states trying to fix huge budget problems by cutting pension costs has surfaced in Illinois, where public union leaders are waging an all-out effort to stop the Democrat-led campaign.
Details of a plan reached last week appear to show state legislative leaders are attempting to solve Illinois' $100 billion pension crisis in part by changing workers' retirement age, reducing automatic pension increases and limiting their collective-bargaining privileges.
Union leaders argue the plan to help the under-funded pension plan, which appears to have bipartisan support, seems no different than the one the General Assembly rejected earlier this year.
"It's an unfair, unconstitutional scheme that undermines retirement security," the We Are One Illinois labor coalition said last week as details of the plan emerged. "It's no compromise at all with those who earned and paid for their retirement benefits. In fact, reports suggest the leaders have repackaged Senate Bill 1 and barely bothered to disguise it."
Rank-and-file state lawmakers were briefed on the plan Friday, and a vote could come as early as this week.
Leaders of the unions, a usually reliable Democratic vote, are specifically targeting Democratic state senators from moderate, swing districts where election opponents can hammer them for inaction or being too tough on state workers and say eight to 10 of them are considered "persuadable."
Will the unions win this battle in Illinois? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, they're doomed to lose the war in Illinois and across the country for the simplest of reasons; They take such a huge slice of the pie that there isn't enough money for many states to pay them and remain solvent. If states like Illinois are going to avoid default, they're eventually going to have to screw over the unions. Since unions are foes of everything conservatives hold dear, seeing them get screwed suits me just fine.

This Week in #SouthAsiaDev: April 17, 2015
Wanted! Your proposals on Regional Integration in South Asia
Home to Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, South Asia is one of the fastest growing regions in the world and yet one of the least integrated. Intra-regional trade accounts for only 5% of South Asia's GDP, compared to 25% of East Asia's. Meanwhile, with a population of 1.6 billion, South Asia hosts one of the largest untapped talent pools.
To encourage young researchers in the region who aspire to use their research to inform policy making, the World Bank Group calls for research proposals on South Asia regional integration. Proposals will be carefully reviewed and the most suitable proposals (no more than five overall) will be awarded with a grant based on criteria listed below. An experienced researcher from the World Bank's research department or an external academic will mentor and guide the young researcher in the implementation of the research.[1]
Will South Asia make the most of cheap oil?
The world economy today presents itself as a diverse canvas full of challenges and opportunities. Advanced economies continue to struggle towards recovery, with the US on its way to tighten monetary policy as the economy picks up while a still weak Eurozone awaits quantitative easing to kick in. At the same time, plunging oil prices have set in motion significant real income shifts from exporters to importers of oil. Astonishingly, amidst all this turmoil, South Asia has emerged as the fastest growing region in the world over the second half of 2014. Led by a strong India, South Asia is set to further accelerate from 7 percent real growth in 2015 to 7.6 percent by 2017, leaving behind a slowing East Asia gradually landed in second spot by China.
While bolstered by record low inflation and strong external positions across the region, the biggest question yet to be addressed by policy makers in South Asia will be how to make the most of cheap oil.
All countries are net oil importers as well as large providers of fuel and related food subsidies, therefore bound to benefit from low oil prices. However, the biggest oil price dividend to be cashed in by South Asia is one yet to be earned, and not one that will automatically transit through government or consumer accounts. The current constellation of macroeconomic tailwinds provides a unique opportunity for policy makers to rationalize energy prices and to improve fiscal policy. Decoupling external oil prices from fiscal deficits may decrease vulnerability to future oil price hikes – something that may very well happen in the medium term. Furthermore, cheap oil offers a great opportunity to introduce carbon taxation and address the negative externalities from the use of fossil fuels.
The World Bank's latest South Asia Economic Focus (April 2015) titled "Making the most of cheap oil" provides deeper insights regarding South Asia's diverse policy challenges and opportunities stemming from cheap oil.
A first major realization is that the pass through from oil prices to domestic South Asian economies is as diverse as the countries themselves, thanks to a variety of different policy environments across countries and oil products. This is also reflected in recent dynamics, seeing India taking determined action towards rationalizing fuel and energy prices, even introducing a de facto carbon tax and beginning to reap fiscal and environmental benefits. Other countries have so far shown less or no enthusiasm towards reform, in spite of significant and/or increasing oil dependency (particularly in electricity generation, one of the region's weak spots).

"Prevention is better than the cure"
Encouraging healthy habits to reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases
Each time I visit local hospitals in Sri Lanka, my confidence in the public health service is renewed. I see a selfless commitment by both doctors and nursing staff towards their patients, often going beyond their call of duty. I wonder if it is their religious faith of caring for the sick which is considered a meritorious act, that make them go that extra mile.
My visit to the Base Hospital in Horana, in the Kalutara District reinforced this belief. My colleague and I learned first-hand about systems and processes in place to encourage behavioral change to reduce the Non Communicable Disease (NCD) burden that is becoming a silent killer. The fact that seventy percent of the deaths in Sri Lanka are due to NCDs is scary; especially when a sizable portion of the deaths are under sixty five. As the country transitions into a more affluent society, poor food choices and less active lifestyles are exacerbating the situation. Most Chronic NCDs are preventable and if not, its onset can be delayed if risk factors such as smoking, alcohol, chewing beetle leaves, obesity, unhealthy diet, high salt, sugar, trans fats, processed foods and sedentary lifestyles are addressed.
Public spaces - not a "nice to have" but a basic need for cities
We often think of amenities such as quality streets, squares, waterfronts, public buildings, and other well-designed public spaces as luxury amenities for affluent communities. However, research increasingly suggests that they are even more critical to well-being of the poor and the development of their communities, who often do not have spacious homes and gardens to retreat to.
Living in a confined room without adequate space and sunlight increases the likelihood of health problems, restricts interaction and other productive activities. Public spaces are the living rooms, gardens and corridors of urban areas. They serve to extend small living spaces and providing areas for social interaction and economic activities, which improves the development and desirability of a community. This increases productivity and attracts human capital while providing an improved quality of life as highlighted in the upcoming Urbanization in South Asia report.
Despite their importance, public spaces are often poorly integrated or neglected in planning and urban development. However, more and more research suggests that investing in them can create prosperous, livable, and equitable cities in developing countries. UN-Habitat has studied the contribution of streets as public spaces on the prosperity of cities, which finds a correlation between expansive street grids and prosperity as well as developing a public space toolkit.

Kuwait parliament approves budget with $27 billion deficit
Women in Kuwait remain hopeful about female candidates in the upcoming parliamentary elections after three failed attempts.
May 14, 2009 3:13 by Parinaaz Navdar
Women in Kuwait aim to make it third time lucky as they compete for seats in parliament after failed attempts in previous legislative elections. In May 2005, after six years of debate, women were given the vote and they hoped that they would also get the chance to shape legislation. But in elections the following years, female candidates couldn't shatter the glass ceiling.
Kuwaiti women are well represented in medicine, education, the civil service and business; but politics still remains an all-male preserve. In the 2006 and 2008 elections, a total of 54 female candidates campaigned unsuccessfully, although a number of them made a strong showing. Nineteen women are standing in this year's election, of whom all but two have contested in previous elections.
Recently, local conservative Islamic group issued a fatwa saying that voting for women was forbidden, because if women become members of parliament, they would occupy public office; something which is apparently prohibited for women according to Islamic law. Female candidates running for election have slammed the fatwa, calling it politically motivated.
Analysts have attributed women's failure in previous elections to several reasons including, the conservative nature of Kuwaiti society; absence of support from political groups; and lack of experience.
Maasuma al-Mubarak made history when she became the first female minister in 2005, soon after women were granted full political rights. "This time we are contesting for a third time more determined, more optimistic and more aware. I believe the path is ready," said Mubarak. "I was the first female minister and I am looking to become the first female member of parliament," she said after registering her candidacy.
Women are confident that the constant political crises in the oil-rich emirate and infighting within male political groups would make it easier for women to win seats.
A parliamentary seats' quota system currently exists to boost women's political participation in Kuwait by giving them the right to a share of seats on a sustainable basis. More than 100 countries in the world use this system in their parliament.
However, according to Kuwait Times, some critics say that women should earn the seats instead of occupying them without effort. They also claim that men and women are equal under the Kuwaiti constitution.
About 384,000 people are entitled to vote this week in Kuwait, a country with a population of 3.4 million. Unlike other parliaments and legislative bodies in the Middle East, Kuwait's can influence the country's policies and is generally independent of the emir, who holds executive powers.

Hi there!
I'm just a laid back guy looking for a laid back girl. Actually, I'd like to meet a smart, fun, down-to-earth, laid back girl. I enjoy hiking, backpacking, camping, pretty much anything outdoors, road trips, and in general relaxing. I'm a big college football fan, but I'm open to cheering on your team/sport if you have one. I'm not into the club scene at all, I prefer spots where you can relax and have a conversation. I try to stay in shape and workout regularly, and hope to kick the cigarettes to the curb soon. Not that I litter (haha). I consider myself nice, sincere, honest, and cheesy/sarcastic funny, but also quiet/shy initially when I meet someone. If I'd have to list any "must-haves", they'd be: must have a sense of humor, must not be someone who thrives on drama, and must be someone who likes to bake because I have a serious sweet tooth. I guess that last one is negotiable. Message me (or wink) if we sound like a match…

And music. Always the music. That is, until the band they've been in for as long as they can remember – The Dovetails – begins to attract attention – and not just from a few friends in their tiny English village. Becoming less and less isolated in the world Amber, aged 17, starts to tread a path she's never walked before. And so, their lives begin to change but the question remains – can there really be any room for anyone else in their lives apart from each other?
