Not so fast. Three tough games coming up
Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 12/13/12
Cleveland head coach Pat Shurmur says his team is as ready to face Robert Griffin III as they've been all season- "I think we're as good as we've been to this point in the season. I think that's fair to say. We've got our defensive tackles back. They've been playing quite a while now. Dimitri Patterson is back as the nickel player. He has a game under his belt after being back from injury. We're dealing with all the bumps and bruises that everybody deals with, but that gives us the best opportunity I think to go out and have a successful game on defense." Winning three in a row and four of their last six certainly helps the team feel confident as well- "Yeah, I think there's some confidence that you develop when you find a way to finish games. It only helps you though, if you continue to go through the process and use that confidence to remember that there were plenty of mistakes in the game and we're all striving to play a perfect game. You've got to keep working at it. I hope we continue to play better each week. As a coach, that's what you want. Yeah, I'm hopeful." The Browns have had all 53 players practicing this week and the end of last. They have the usual bumps and bruises of any team, but are generally healthy and playing well together. No better time to take on three tough games. [Related: Is this Josh Cribbs' last home game?]

Transmeta sues Intel over chip patents
updated 05:25 pm EDT, Thu October 12, 2006
Transmeta sues Intel
Transmeta has filed a lawsuit against Intel, threatening to prevent shipments of its Core and Core 2 processors, both of which currently power Apple's various Mac systems. Apple is expected to roll out refreshed versions of its portable notebooks by early 2007 featuring Intel's faster Core 2 Duo processors, gradually phasing out the previous generation of Core chips from its Mac systems. The suit -- which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on Wednesday, October 11th -- alleges that Intel is violating 10 separate patents covering processor design as well as power efficiency techniques, according to IDG News. Transmeta is demanding damages, royalty payments, and an injunction to prevent Intel from selling its "infringing" products which include the Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium M, Core, and Core 2 central processing units. [headline updated]
Transmeta resorted to the suit after efforts to agree on licensing terms with Intel failed, according to Transmeta president and CEO Arthur Swift. "Friendly win-win discussions between the two parties had broken down and we thought is was appropriate now to turn to the courts." The "off and on" discussions had been underway "for years," according to Swift.
Nine of Transmeta's 10 patents cover basic processor functionality such as addressing instructions on the chip and scheduling, while the tenth relates to Transmeta's LongRun technology used to adjust the voltage of the processor as workload varies, according to the report.

It also helps explain why so many companies in turnaround situations are gripped by inertia.
For now the first alternative seems bizarrely risky; the second has a very strong element of inertia behind it.
But the forces of inertia are great and not to be underestimated—not just in the U.S., but everywhere.
1713, introduced as a term in physics 17c. by German astronomer and physician Johann Kepler (1571-1630), from Latin inertia "unskillfulness, idleness," from iners (genitive inertis) "unskilled, inactive;" see inert. Used in Modern Latin by Newton (1687). Sense of "apathy" first recorded 1822.
inertia in·er·tia (ĭ-nûr'shə)
The tendency of a body to resist acceleration; the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest or of a body in motion to stay in motion in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force.
Resistance or disinclination to motion, action, or change.
The resistance of a body to changes in its momentum. Because of inertia, a body at rest remains at rest, and a body in motion continues moving in a straight line and at a constant speed, unless a force is applied to it. Mass can be considered a measure of a body's inertia. See more at Newton's laws of motion, See also mass.
In physics, the tendency for objects at rest to remain at rest, and for objects in uniform motion to continue in motion in a straight line, unless acted on by an outside force. (See Newton's laws of motion.)

Lurking around corners, leaning up against light poles for stability that is where you will find me. I am not a creeper, I am a photographer. I am not a paparazzi style photographer, except it feels like it at the finish line. Shove my camera lens in front of the others to get the shot I need. It's all a game as long as nobody takes an elbow or lens to the face. Okay, that might be a little dramatic but hey, I have to be dramatic in front of and behind the lens.
I really enjoy motorsports photography because of the action. Standing next to the jersey wall and feeling the power of the cars roaring by is awesome! I of course want all drivers to be safe, but who doesn't like seeing a little carnage once in a while too. If I am able to capture that moment, well that is just an awesome bonus.

Parents deported, what happens to US-born kids?
"It was horrible, horrible," Janna says, describing the shock of seeing her mother in an ill-fitting prison uniform behind a grimy glass panel in a detention center in Elizabeth, N.J. She was deported after three months. Her family fell apart.
Janna's 13-year-old brother began wetting his bed, she said, and her 15-year-old brother began hanging out with gangs and experimenting with drugs. Her father, who has a prosthetic leg and relied on his wife for help, grew despondent. And her mother, back in Ramallah living with her own mother after more than 20 years away, grew desperate, unable to sleep or function or think about anything except her family.
"I am not a criminal. I am the mother of American children and they need me, especially the younger ones," she cried over the phone. "How can a country break up families like this?"
Critics say the parents are to blame for entering the country illegally in the first place, knowing they were putting their families at risk.
"Yes, these are sad stories," says Bob Dane, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which advocates tougher enforcement against illegal immigration. "But these parents have taken a reckless gamble with their children's future by sneaking into the country illegally, knowing they could be deported."
"Not to deport them," he continued, "gives them the ultimate bonus package, and creates an incentive for others to do the same thing."
Others, including Obama, say splitting up families is wrong.
"When nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing ... when all this is happening, the system just isn't working and we need to change it," Obama declared during his first run for president in 2008. A year ago, he told a Texas audience that deportation should target "violent offenders and people convicted of crimes; not families, not folks who are just looking to scrape together an income."
And, last year ICE announced a new policy of "prosecutorial discretion" that directs agents to consider how long someone has been in the country, their ties to communities and whether that person's spouse or children are U.S. citizens.
"That gave us a lot of hope," said David Leopold, general counsel for The American Immigration Lawyers Association. "Now we are all scratching our heads wondering where is the discretion when many of our lawyers continue to see people being deported with no criminal record, including parents of American children."
In the Molina case in Connecticut, after Rony Molina became a U.S. citizen in 2009, an immigration attorney urged Sandra to go to Guatemala, where her husband could then sponsor her to return legally.
It was bad advice. Though she has no criminal record her petition was denied. Desperate, she tried to re-enter with the aid of a "coyote" who demanded $5,000, but she was stopped at the border, detained in Arizona for two weeks, then deported in March 2011.
Immigrants who are deported and try to re-enter the country are considered felons and a top priority for immediate removal.

Smart Grid 101 - Understanding the key players
By: SGN Staff
Quick Take: To be adept at the smart grid, you must first understand a) the underlying electric power system and b) the key players and their respective roles. That second task is surprisingly complex, especially in the United States, where decades of half-hearted and ill-timed regulatory changes have resulted in a patchwork of overlapping jurisdictions and approaches.
Yet it is essential to understand the major actors and their functions. First, it will help you do a better job today. Second it will help you understand what may be coming your way tomorrow as these changes continue to ripple through the system. Author, trainer and smart grid pioneer Mani Vadari is here to explain. - By Jesse Berst
By Subramanian "Mani" Vadari
The electric power system is divided into two major categories. The high-voltage transmission system - sometimes referred to as "the bulk power system" - ships large amounts of power long distances. The local medium-voltage distribution system delivers power to customers within a defined service territory.
From the 70s through the 90s (and with tweaks thereafter), the U.S. electric power system went through a series of regulatory changes. Those changes failed to create a fully deregulated market. Instead, they produced a patchwork. Some parts of the country have full deregulation and regional transmission operators (RTOs). Other parts still have vertically integrated utilities and no RTOs. Some locations like ERCOT (most of Texas) transformed into full-scale retail markets.
Along the way, these changes transformed the traditional utility and created a long list of new participants, as we will discuss below.
Transforming the "traditional" utility
The traditional vertically integrated utility faced the most dramatic change after the passing of FERC orders 888/889 heralding the onset of deregulation. Prior to de-regulation, it managed the entire business of marketing energy. It obtained fuel for the plants, and generated electricity, transmitted it, distributed it and collected payment for it within a single corporate structure.
Meet the new participants
There are many new participants in the deregulated market and their interactions can get quite complex. It is important to note that not all are independent companies. They could be business units within one company.
· Vertically Integrated Utility (see above): A full-service store that can offer one or more of the following functions: generation, transmission, distribution and retail all under a holding company mechanism.
· Generator: Any entity that generates electric power and feeds it into the grid.
· Independent Power Producer: An independent (non-utility affiliated) generator of energy and therefore a seller.
· Regional Transmission Operator (RTO) and Independent System Operator (ISO). A new entity with the primary responsibility of ensuring short-term and long-term reliability of grid operations. To ensure fair access to the transmission system, its management and control is completely independent of generation entities and any other market participant. Examples include Pennsylvania Jersey Maryland Power Pool (PJM), Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO), Independent System Operator of New England (ISO-NE), California Independent System Operator (CAISO), Southwest Power Pool (SPP), Midwest Independent System Operator (MISO). There are also several of these in Canada and in other countries.
· Control Area or Balancing Authority: An electric system or systems, bounded by interconnection metering and telemetry, capable of controlling generation to maintain its interchange schedule with other Control Areas and contributing to frequency regulation of the Interconnection. Where RTOs do not exist, this role is still performed by some organization that has the authority and responsibility to run a balancing market and ensure enough ancillary services are available for the system to run efficiently.
· Market Operator: Third party responsible for forward markets matching supply/demand, including energy and ancillary services and FTR auctions if appropriate. Can be a separate entity or run by the RTO.
· Scheduling Coordinator: Responsible for creating and submitting balanced schedules and ancillary services requirements (provisions). Presently more appropriate to the ERCOT and California models.
· Power Marketer/Broker: An entity that buys and/or sells energy and transmission services. With a few exceptions, this entity does not own generation/transmission facilities.
· Transmission Asset Owner: Owns or controls facilities used for the transmission of power. Can sometimes also be responsible for the short-term reliability of grid operations. Examples can include a vertically integrated utility, or an independent transmission company.
· Transmission User (TU): A transmission user buys the rights to transfer energy (from the seller to the buyer) through the transmission provider's transmission lines.
· Distributed Asset Owner or Distribution System Operator: Owns, operates and maintains distribution-level substations, lines and equipment. This entity interfaces to small-to-medium customers and is ultimately responsible for the "obligation to serve." It may stay regulated much like the local telephone company.
· Wholesale Energy Merchant: Similar to competitive retailers (below), but deals with wholesale customers not retail customers. Could also be a Power Marketer/broker.
· Wholesale Customer: These are generally transmission-level customers - that is, large commercial or industrial customers who buy large amounts of power directly from the transmission grid.
· Competitive Retailer: Entities that are responsible for arranging physical delivery and conducting commercial transactions with end-use customers but are not a part of a utility. Many terms like ESP (Energy Service Provider), LSE (Load Serving Entity) or Retail Energy Provider (REP) have been used in different markets for this role.

2011 NFL Draft Position
Running Backs - No. 11-25
Pete Fiutak
- 2011 NFL Running Back
Rankings - Top Ten
11. John Clay, Wisconsin 6-1, 230 (Jr.)
While he got in better shape to up his stock, he's a hamburger away from ballooning up again with way too much bad weight. However, even though he played with a spare tire, he brought peerless power and stunning breakaway speed for a player of his size as one of the nation's most productive backs over the last few years. With his style, though, he was beaten on and always seems to have issues with his ankles and knees. Fumbles were a problem for a time, and if he can't hang on to the ball as a short-yardage back, he won't last long. He's worth drafting for his power, but he'll only work if he keeps his weight down to under 250.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
12. Anthony Allen, Georgia Tech 6-1, 228
With a terrific blend of size, speed, and quickness, he's an intriguing prospect on his measureables alone. While it's always tough to figure out what a back in a Paul Johnson option offense can do at the next level, he has the ability and the potential to be a stud when he gets the ball in space. Forget about him as a receiver and he doesn't use his size for any power, but in a zone-blocking scheme he could be ultra-productive in an Arian Foster kind of way.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
13. Dion Lewis, Pitt 5-7, 193 (Soph.)
It'll be easy to try to compare him to LeSean McCoy, but he's not the same runner and he's not quite as big. Even so, he's so quick when he gets a little bit of room to move and he zips and cuts on a dime. While he might not be an every down back and he's going to be a bit of a specialist, especially on third downs, he'll be effective when he gets his chances. Always dinged up, he can't be counted on for a full season and he'll disappear for stretches, but some offensive coordinator will be really, really happy with a new toy to play with.
CFN Projection: Third Round
14. Stevan Ridley, LSU 5-11, 225 (Junior)
A strong, powerful back who provides a thump, he managed to be the only thing that consistently worked for the painful LSU offense. Always working and always coming up with positive yards, he's a physical producer who'll come up with a few extra inches after getting stopped. While he's not speedy and he's not going to hit any home runs, he'll be a good complimentary back if there are other fast options to play around with. While he doesn't do anything at a high level, he'll be strong enough a runner to get a long look in a backfield.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
15. Jamie Harper, Clemson 6-0, 233 (Junior)
A big back who moves surprisingly well and can be used as a receiver and a blocker as well as a between-the-tackles runner. While he was a good back for Clemson, he wasn't necessarily great and he wasn't a featured back for all that long. If he can keep in shape and if he's willing to do all the little things, he could carve out a nice career for himself. He'll never be a No. 1 and he'll never be a star, but he could be great if he's okay with becoming a jack-of-all-trades.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
16. Derrick Locke, Kentucky 5-8, 188
He's always going to have an injury problem in one way or another, and he's not going to get any bigger and he's not going to hit anyone, but if given the chance he'll be the difference in at least two wins a year. A case could be made that he was the best all-around back in the SEC over the last few years with great hands for the receiving game, terrific kick return skills, and excellent speed and quickness. He'll never be a featured back, but he'll be around for a long time as a returner and a third down back.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
17. Evan Royster, Penn State 6-0, 212
Penn State's all-time leading rusher, he's more of a tough, plodding producer than a flashy home run hitter. He didn't exactly get a whole bunch of help from some mediocre lines, and he didn't do anything too memorable, but he's smart, tough, coachable, and can catch the ball. There's nothing there to suggest he can be special or a No. 1 back, but he'll be a decent enough No. 2 to count on for 7-to-10 key touches per game.
CFN Projection: Sixth Round
18. Noel Devine, West Virginia 5-7, 179
It was a bit of a stunner that he came back for his senior year, and then he struggled and went from being an intriguing NFL role player type to being an afterthought. Insanely strong for his size, he should be able bring a little bit of power and he's quicker than his workouts show. Size is a big issue, even after putting on close to 20 pounds in a hurry over the last few months, and he times slowwwwwww. He fumbles too much, has a hard time staying healthy, and doesn't have the raw skills. However, he should have some worth as a versatile backup and a kick returner.
CFN Projection: Sixth Round
19. Darren Evans, Virginia Tech 6-0, 227 (Junior)
He had the look of a rising superstar with a tremendous 2008, and then he tore up his knee before the 2009 season and he wasn't quite the same in 2010. He's a big back with good shiftiness and nice straight-line speed, but he's not going to bust off any big runs and he's not creative enough to come up with anything that's not blocked for him. While he has good size, he also gets chopped down way too easily and doesn't do a good enough job of getting small when needed. He's not going to do anything special in the NFL, but he'll be a part of a rotation and will be productive in spurts.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
20. Delone Carter, Syracuse, 5-9, 222
Short and squatty, he shocked the Combine with a phenomenal workout that should move him up the charts. Great in between the tackles and extremely tough for his size, he'll be a pinball bouncing off of tackles for positive yards. He's not a receiver and won't be a third down back, and he's more of a strong, quick back than a fast home run hitter, but he'll bring power and good energy.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
21. Roy Helu, Jr., Nebraska 5-11, 219
There's something missing. He's a big back with blazing speed, and he's one of the few true home run hitting backs in the draft. With great moves, nice wiggle, and with a one cut and gone burst, the measurables are all there. However, what he isn't is powerful and runs way too softly for a player of his size. He'll come up with a big game – like he did against Missouri in 2010 – and then he'll disappear. There's a great chance he could be far better as a pro, but he has to show he can be consistent.
CFN Projection: Fourth Round
22. Da'Rel Scott, Maryland 5-11, 211
Decent-sized and very, very fast, Scott has the measurables to deserve a long look as both a back and a kick returner. Give him a little bit of room and he's gone, and he's quick enough to be an extremely productive one-cut NFL runner in the right system. While he might have a hard time staying healthy and he's a better workout warrior than a football player, he could be a part of a rotation on raw speed alone.
CFN Projection: Free Agent
23. Damien Berry, Miami 5-11, 212
While not fast and with an array of leg injuries throughout his career going back to high school, Berry isn't going to be expected to be a workhorse of a No. 1 back. However, he's a decent, physical runner and he's not afraid to do the little things needed to help a team. He'll block, he'll work on special teams, and he'll get a team the hard yards. Not a gifted runner and without much in the way of outside speed, he doesn't have the athleticism to be a back to work around. He'll be a tough cut.
CFN Projection: Free Agent
24. Vai Taua, Nevada 5-10, 213
Great in space and with the ball on the move, he was ultra-productive in the Nevada Pistol attack finds ways to gain the extra yards after contact. Physical, he'll block and he'll run between the tackles and will take shots. He doesn't punish defenders, though, and he absorbs shots more than he runs over people. He doesn't have the hands to be a reliable receiver, and he might get booted out of a camp instantly is he's struggling with fumbling problems, but he was too good for the Wolf Pack and has enough pure running skills to not get an honest look as a No. 2 back.
CFN Projection: Free Agent
25. Johnny White, North Carolina 5-10, 209
With a nice base and cut-on-a-dime quickness, he's a natural runner who gets around the cones in a hurry. He flew under the ACC radar and was never considered a star, but always did a nice job and he always gave a good effort. Not necessarily a special runner and without the raw speed to work on the outside on a regular basis, but he could turn into a sneaky-good pro with his great attitude and tough style. Every time he gets the ball he'll make positive yards, but he'll be nothing more than a cog.

The shop building is fantastic! This is my second building, though the first was from a different manufacturer. I absolutely LOVE this 12x24 Hartford from Backyard Buildings!! Great quality in the materials, the construction and the sale was easy and professional. The only complaint I have is that no building permit was pulled by the company or the contractor (my first building had permit pulled by contractor) and I was not informed that I should pull permit, myself, so now I'm looking at having to get a variance for the building being too close to street, moving the building or tearing it down! NOT HAPPY with that aspect of this transaction.

The Magazine
Can We Talk?
About the moral dimensions of science.
Sep 8, 2008, Vol. 13, No. 48 • By ANDREW FERGUSON
The movement hires highly paid lobbyists, showers politicians in campaign money, and trumpets its message through most of the opinion-generating organs in the country, including a large majority of science reporters and newspaper editorial boards. In opposition to this roaring freight train is a little ragtag band of pro-lifers, Christers, biblical scholars, theologians, professors of philosophy at schools you've never heard of, and two or three magazines with circulations in the four figures. And Pinker pretends to find them ominous. It's odd how some big guys always complain they're being picked on by the little guys.
Oddest of all, though, was Pinker's own fixation on what he thinks is Kass's fixation. Surely Pinker's autonomy is just as slippery and subjective as Kass's dignity. That's the thing about ethics talk. Most of these phrases are slippery in one way or another, relying heavily on the context in which they're used and a certain good-faith assumption of shared understanding. Besides, autonomy is a strange idea for Pinker to champion as an ethical lodestar. Though he's always denied he's a "genetic determinist"--another slippery phrase--he has nonetheless been explicit in his belief that a person's sense of his own autonomy, also known as free will, is ultimately illusory. Pinker doesn't explain how an illusion can be a sound basis for thinking about what's ethical and what isn't.
And thinking, of course, is what bioethicists are supposed to do. It's nice work if you can get it, and no one approaches the task more carefully, more painstakingly than Eric Cohen (you thought I'd forgotten?). In the Shadow of Progress is a testament not only to his care but also to his stout heart. Cohen is a protégé of Kass (as well as an acquaintance of mine and occasional contributor to these pages). He knows that thinking long thoughts about technology's moral consequences and cultural effects is not something many of us are inclined to do, especially when it comes to questioning the riches that technological progress has brought us: Start with indoor plumbing and dental floss and work your way up to the polio vaccine and quadruple bypass surgery, and you've got a sense of what we owe to science and technology. And it simply doesn't occur to most people to think that material advances might come at a spiritual or moral cost. We assume the wonders of technology arrive no-strings-attached.
But what if they don't? Nuclear fission, Cohen points out, is a plain example: The technology that might provide us with safe, unlimited power generation might also, placed in the wrong hands, lead to mass slaughter. The same goes for biomedicines that increase our powers to heal--and also the capacity of terrorists to do their worst. With gratitude for "the tremendous blessings of the modern age," Cohen nonetheless writes that "this book aims, with some trepidation, to lean against America's faith in progress . . . the book questions progress by exploring its incompleteness as an answer to man's deepest longings--the longing to be loved, the longing to be virtuous, the longing to be redeemed."
Cohen's "trepidation" is well-placed. It's a thankless task he's set himself, standing athwart technological progress and shouting, if not "Stop," then at least "Can't we talk this over for a minute?" News about medicine and technology comes to us filtered through the superficiality of popular journalism, which doesn't have much room for pondering long-term effects, as watchers of The Today Show and The View may have noticed. ("Up next, a fresh look at our longing to be redeemed!") The only criticism you'll find of new technologies in the popular press turns on whether they're "safe" or "unsafe."
Pinker and other publicists of the new science do their own share of complaining about the "built-in biases" of science journalism, but even they must admit that the mass media prefer breathless reporting of wondrous discoveries to a good chin wag about what the unintended and unhappy consequences of those discoveries might be. The popular presentation of technology is sharply disposed toward the uncritical. Scientists are always the good guys, and party-pooper Jeremiahs like Kass and Cohen wind up getting the Pinker treatment.

Three new Duende Native plug-ins has been released
Solid State Logic has announced that three new Duende Native plug-ins and migration to iLok 2 copy protection are now available online.
The superior audio quality and deep feature set of the SSL Duende Native plug-in range has earned the respect of a very discerning clientele through the years.
The three new plug-ins complement the existing range with two plug-ins (X-Saturator & X-ValveComp) designed to bring some analogue saturation and distortion emulation to your digital DAW and the third (X-Phase) delivering high precision frequency specific phase correction.
The new plug-ins are available now via the SSL web site. To coincide with the new plug-in release SSL has migrated the entire Duende Native plug-in collection to the iLok 2 copy protection system. SSL has also announced a summer release for AAX native versions of the entire suite.
New Duende plug-ins
- X-Phase is an All-pass Filter plug-in that offers the user manual control and benchmark audio quality. It enables the user to apply a phase shift (sometimes called a phase offset) at a specified frequency within a signal. Unlike other filter types where the gain of selected frequencies is altered, with an All-pass Filter the gain remains unchanged throughout the signal. This is useful for fixing phase problems with microphones when recording: eg overheads causing phase problems when mixed with close mic's.
- X-Saturator delivers a stunning range of analogue style distortion effects. It is an emulation of an analogue circuit that introduces either 2nd order valve style or 3rd order transistor style distortion or a blend of the two. At low drive settings the distortion is mild and can add gentle warming to help instruments sit nicely in a mix or to add a little extra edge to help instruments cut through a mix. As drive levels are increased so too is the level of distortion until at high drive levels heavy distortion occurs.
- X-ValveComp is a fully-featured mono or stereo channel compressor with a full set of classic channel compressor controls and an added 'valve' emulation stage. The valve emulation stage sits after the compressor in the signal path and adds a variable degree of primarily 2nd order harmonic saturation and distortion that thickens and colours the sound. The compressor can be switched between Peak or RMS modes and has a full set of standard controls.
X-Phase is available for purchase for £199 GBP/249 EUR/$329 USD. X-Saturator and X-ValveComp are £69 GBP/89 EUR/$119 USD each, with an introductory price of £49 GBP/59 EUR/$85 USD for the first 30 days only. Prices exclude tax.

The new filter from Waldorf and Theremini from Moog
"Waldorf's mystery knob is the filter control from a big filter in a box.
That's right, Waldorf is introducing a 2-pole filter. And one heck of a 2-pole filter it is:
Filter with cutoff and resonance, but also a Drive setting, Rectify, and switchable between low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass
LFO with Depth and Speed
LFO set to Fast, Slow, and (hilariously) Gemütlich (kinda hard to translate, actually easy-going and slower than slow)
Envelope controls: Attack/Decay/Hold, threshold, a source (hard to tell what that does), and trigger.
And it takes CV for envelope, cutoff, and gate, with jack plugs for input and output."
"Then there's Moog, who are introducing, as rumored, a new Theremin. And this isn't just any Theremin: it's a Theremin that can assist you in keeping things in tune, all whilst looking like a space-age egg from Woody Allen's Sleeper.
It's a Theremin with presets. Crazy presets.
It's a digital instrument with Theremin-style controls. (Readers who speculated, you guessed right.) It'll upset purists, perhaps, but this is rather cool: it's based on the unique-sounding Animoog sound engine.
The synth is digital, but the input is analog: classic heterodyning style, then digitized as control signal for the engine. Onboard MIDI, CV output (presumably pre-digitization, in fact), and USB. But that engine gives you more different ways to play.
Yes, there's a display, scale and root controls, a Presets knob, plus built-in delay. There's a built-in speaker and headphone jack, as well, for convenience.
Price: US$299 estimated is what we heard on the floor…"
Product descriptions from our colleagues at CDM
"The Theremini is a re-imagination of one of the oldest electronic musical instrument in history, and Bob Moog's first love – the theremin. Its design fuses the experience of performing with an instrument you don't actually touch, with a powerful sound engine derived from Moog's award winning synthesizer, Animoog. The Theremini guarantees immediate success to any player at any skill level, while providing new ways to experiment with music, education, and gestural control.
Assistive pitch correction allows each player to adjust the instruments level of playing difficulty. At the maximum position, the Theremini will play every note in a selected scale perfectly, making it impossible to play a wrong note. As this control is decreased, more expressive control of pitch becomes possible. When set to minimum, the Theremini will perform as a traditional theremin with analog heterodyning oscillator and absolutely no pitch assistance.
A built in tuner supplies real-time visual feedback of each note as it is played, as well as its proximity to perfection. This is useful for correcting a users playing position, or to educate younger players about pitch and scales.
The presets section allows you to select from 32 wave or wavetable-based patches, store a selected scale & root note, set and recall a specified playing range, and specify per-patch settings for the included stereo delay.
Recessed in the top of the Theremini is a compact speaker perfect for private rehearsal and quick setup anywhere. Silent rehearsal is also possible via front panel headphone jack. Simply plug in ear-buds or headphones and the built in speaker becomes silent.
For live performance and gestural control, the rear panel features two line level audio outputs, a pitch CV output with selectable range, and a mini USB jack for MIDI I/O and connectivity.
Checking out the filter section on the Arturia MicroBrute
Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the Arturia MicroBrute filter.
Bass Station II Self Oscillating Filter Demo
John Keston explores the Bass Station II, below his report:
I have recently been trying out a Novation Bass Station II monophonic analogue synthesizer. I am quite impressed with this big sounding synth in a small package. While digitally controlled, Novation have focused on packing in proper synthesis features rather than trying to gloss over the sound with onboard effects. For example, as I have illustrated in the video, the filter self oscillates nicely with a clean sine wave that can be modulated in unique ways especially with distinct features like oscillator slew.
The video starts with the self oscillating filter getting modulated by LFO 2 using the triangle wave. After that I switch to using the sample and hold setting creating the well-known 60s computer sound of random notes. Here's where it gets interesting though. Once I switch the LFO to sample and hold I start turning up the oscillator slew I mentioned earlier. What this does is variably smooth the wave shapes created by the LFO. You'll hear this come in at 0:28. It sounds like portamento. At 0:35 I switch the LFO to the square wave, but with the slew on it sounds more like a sine. As I reduce the amount of slew the square wave regains its recognizable character. Next I switch it to the saw tooth wave. The nice thing here is that the LFO amount can go into negative values allowing the saw to be reversed.
Another distinctive feature is the oscillator filter mod setting. This modulates the filter with oscillator 2. Since the oscillators range from subsonic to almost supersonic this feature offers modulation effects that are not possible with the LFOs. At 1:29 you will start to hear the oscillator filter mod come in using a pulse waveform. What makes this interesting is that while oscillator 2 is modulating the filter it can also have the pulse width modulated by LFO 1. This can cause bit-reduction-like effects that can be heard between 1:49 and 2:19. At 2:20 I start tapping the octave and waveform buttons on oscillator 2 illustrating what happens when the modulation source is instantly shifted an octave at a time. After a bit more messing around I added a final, manual filter sweep at 3:20.
Boomstar 4075 sequenced by Doepfer Dark Time
This is a demo of the Boomstar 4075 (ARP 2600 filter) being sequenced by a Doepfer Dark Time. Because of the nature of the demonstration, it could get a little boring during some sections. Pay attention to the subtle changes and you will be impressed. Stay tuned through the whole video to see how much range the Boomstars can cover. This is only a short segment as well, these synths are capable of much more. This is a Perfect Circuit Audio favorite of 2013!
Look out for another Boomstar demo coming soon, this time played by a MIDI controller.
Moog Voyager Filter Step Sequencing
A quick inspirational video showing a nice result from step sequencing the Moog Voyager's filter cutoff.
Prophet 12 Analog Filter Modulation
Exploring filter modulation on the Prophet, details below:
I was able to to borrow a Prophet 12 recently. Since it has analog filters, I thought it might be interesting to do "analog things" to it. This is part of what happened next.
At first I was disappointed when I saw that there were no CV connections, but I soon found that the two pedal inputs can be used with a variety of CV gear.
In this video I have the Koushion Step Sequencer iPad app sending MIDI notes to the Moog Mult-Pedal. The Multi-Pedal converts them to an analog control Voltage which step-sequences the Prophet 12's filter.
The Moog CP-251 allows us to make multiple copies of the Control Voltage so we can also step-sequence a Moog Voyager and Little Phatty. Learn more at www.experimentalsynth.com

After 21 years at Godfrey & Kahn, one of Wisconsin's largest law firms, Nic Wahl was named managing partner in January. That new position gives Wahl administrative responsibilities at Milwaukee-based Godfrey & Kahn, which has about 180 lawyers at offices in Madison, Appleton, Green Bay, Waukesha, and Washington, D.C.
Wahl recently spoke about his new job, the law firm's growth and future prospects, and Godfrey & Kahn's plans to move into a new downtown office tower that would be developed near the Pfister Hotel by Irgens Development Partners LLC and Van Buren Management Inc.
Q. Since being named managing partner, what has been your biggest challenge?
A. The biggest challenge, as it's always been, is time, and managing all the different demands on your time. I'm still practicing, so I'm still working with all my clients. And when they want something done, you jump on it. Now, I'm running a large business with multiple offices with over 400 employees, which is usually a full-time job.
Q. What is driving the firm's growth?
A. Our business starts and ends with people. I think we have a very talented group. The marketplace and the clients recognize the expertise that we have, and the value that we bring.
Q. Have there been specific practice areas that have seen more growth?
A. I think our mergers and acquisitions practice has always been really strong. We probably have 40 to 50 lawyers that practice in that area. . . . We have one of the larger banking practices in the state, if not the Midwest. We have a very large investment management practice. And I think our litigation practice continues to get stronger.
Q. Does the pending acquisition of M&I Bank have an effect on your firm?
A. It will have an impact. They're a long-standing, great client. The fact is, we don't know what impact it's going to have on us going forward at this point. On the other hand, either way, it won't have that dramatic an effect.
Q. Is that because of the diversity of your client base?
A. Yeah, I think our client base is really diverse, from start-up companies to our traditional bread-and-butter, family-owned businesses, to the largest public companies in the state.
Q. Have you been at Godfrey & Kahn ever since coming out of law school?
A. I came here directly out of law school. I'm a Green Bay native, and went down to the University of Kansas. I went down there to play golf (on a scholarship). I realized I wasn't going to be on the (PGA) Tour and started studying a little bit, so I was a chemistry major there. I got done with school and figured out I probably wasn't going to be a chemist, either. I went to law school and went to (University of Wisconsin) Madison.
Right out of Madison, I debated between moving out to Phoenix, to a large firm down there, or to Godfrey & Kahn in Milwaukee.
Q. What tipped it in favor of going to Milwaukee?
A. Family and friends were all in this area. . . . I thought Phoenix would have been fun for two to three years, but then I would've wanted to move back. And I had a great opportunity with Godfrey & Kahn, and I wasn't sure that that would be there after two or three years.
Q. What was your area of expertise?
A. For the first five or six years I was here, I practiced mainly in the real estate area. . . . I've practiced in the mergers and acquisitions area for the last 15 or 16 years. It's still a mix. I still do a decent amount of real estate work and general corporate work.
Q. Regarding the office tower, has there been any progress made in getting that built since the project was announced in January?
A. We continue to work on probably the boring parts, the space planning. . . . That's a question better asked of the Irgens team. I know they've been working hard to get other tenants, and the project has had a lot of interest from tenants around the city.
Q. Are you eager to get over there?
A. Yeah, I think everybody's excited to get into a new building. On the other hand, we've been here a long time, too, so we have a lot of flexibility with M&I (Godfrey & Kahn's current landlord). So time is not critical to us.
Q. Do you still golf?
A. Not as much as I'd like. I still play. I'm not nearly as good as I once was, and that's frustrating. But my kids are at getting at that age where they're starting to play. So that gives me an outlet.

Having more parks, forests, playing fields affects health behaviors, study says
THURSDAY, Nov. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Health inequalities between rich and poor people are much lower in areas that have lots of green space, such as parks, forests and playing fields, a large British study finds.
Dr. Richard Mitchell, of the University of Glasgow, and his colleagues noted that previous studies have shown that the presence of green space has an independent beneficial effect on health and health-related behaviors. They wanted to examine whether access to green space might also affect income-related health disparities.
Mitchell and his team looked at the almost 41 million people in England below retirement age and obtained individual death records for 366,348 people to determine the association between exposure to green space, income, all-cause mortality, and cause-specific death (circulatory disease, lung cancer and suicide) from 2001 to 2005.
In areas with the most green space, the health gap between the richest and poorest people was about half as large as that in the least green areas -- an incident rate ratio (IRR) of 1.93 in the least green and 1.43 in the most green. IRR is a measure of how much higher the rate of death is among the poorest, when compared with that among the richest.
The difference in IRR for circulatory disease was even larger -- 2.19 in the least green areas and 1.54 in the most green. The amount of green space had no effect on deaths caused by lung cancer or suicide.
"The implications of this study are clear: Environments that promote good health might be crucial in the fight to reduce health inequalities," Mitchell and colleagues concluded.
The study was published in this week's special issue of The Lancet, which focuses on social determinants of health.
"This study offers valuable evidence that green space does more than pretty up a neighborhood; i

1991 Subaru Loyale Q&A
1991 Subaru Loyale Question: Need instructions on replacing v belts
I just need to get instructions on replacing these belts - such as which belt goes where ( it takes 2 v belts), should 1 be placed 1st? They are extremely close together - how do I loosen tension, etc. I do these repairs myself out of necessity, not because I get a kick out of it! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! - irishblaze
Answer 1
Remove the outer belt first. Match it to one of the replacements to see if it's right and which belt goes where. Then remove the inner belt an do the same to check your parts for being correct and which is which. You will have to loosen the mounting bolts on all the components that have to be moved to get the belts off and on. You probably will find that there are screw tension adjustments with bolt hex heads to turn to make the adjustments. These mounting and adjustment bolts are usually very tight and require lots of strength to loosen so be careful and don't hurt yourself. You will have to install the inner belt and snug it up first. Then the outer one. If they squeal, they're not tight enough. Be sure to tighten all the bolts you disturbed so that you don't get any surprises later. - Superbob

Comments about Frigidaire 26 Cu Ft White Side-By-Side Refrigerator:
Bought this to replace the (very) old fridge in the home we just bought. Needed something cheap with larger capacity. Got it delivered by an Abt crew yesterday. It is BIG -- so tall that it did not fit in the space vacated by the (very) old fridge. So check your measurements! We ended up having to remove the upper cabinet to fit it in place -- no biggie because we will remodel a little later this year. Who can reach up there anyway? smhI love the capacity - I can fit so much in it. The top shelf can fit juice/milk bottles 3 rows deep and 4 across!! I've got a 12" pot on a shelf with so much room left (see pic, but don't judge me for having 85 bottles of condiments). -- but it is very LOUD. Thank goodness the bedrooms are upstairs. Sheesh! I was so excited yesterday I ignored it but this morning I could hear it humming away as soon as I hit the stairs. Maybe it will settle down. I'll update. Right now I'm at 3.4 stars.
Service and delivery comments:
Excellent delivery as usual. They went the extra mile to get this behemoth through my small doorways. One guy was better at getting the plastic off than the other. My one disappointment is 3 dirty fingerprints on the pristine inside of my new white fridge. :-/
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It's pretty!
By Bob
from El Dorado Springs, Mo.
I've only had it for 1 day, so far so good, we'll see. The only thing I didn't like was the clear plastic that's on the doors is real pain to remove!
It took about a week longer than expected. The guy was going to leave it on the porch until I argued with him that I paid $100 for white glove service then he went and got his paperwork and saw that I was right. They used a small cheap dolly and struggled with it mightily.

The 2007 Tablas Creek Vineyard Mourvèdre is Tablas Creek's fifth varietal bottling of Mourvèdre, and showcases the remarkable combination of power and balance that typifies the 2007 vintage. Even at a young age it shows remarkable depth of plum, currant, mocha and spice, substantial but incredibly fine-grained tannins and great length. It should age for a decade at least.
We use most of our Mourvèdre in our Esprit de Beaucastel each year. However, we feel that the Mourvèdre grape, often dismissed as "just a blending varietal", is capable of making single-varietal wines both rich and balanced. When we have particularly intense and characteristic lots of Mourvèdre, we try to reserve a limited quantity for a single-varietal bottling.
Our Mourvèdre grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2007 vintage was the best vintage we've yet seen at Tablas Creek. Yields were very low (down between 15% and 30%, depending on variety) due to a cold and very dry winter, which produced small berries and small clusters. A moderate summer without any significant heat spikes followed, allowing gradual ripening, and producing red wines with tremendous intensity, excellent freshness and a lushness to the fruit which cloaks tannins that should allow the wines to age gracefully. The Mourvèdre was harvested throughout October and completed the vintage on October 30th.
The Mourvèdre grapes were destemmed and then fermented using native yeasts in a balance of small open-top and enclosed stainless steel tanks. After three weeks, they were pressed and moved to 1200-gallon foudres to complete their fermentation. The Mourvèdre lots were blended in June of 2008, when we added 10% Syrah to give a touch of black fruit and mineral to the wine. It was aged for an additional year in 190-gallon demi-muids and bottled in May 2009. The wine underwent only a light filtration before bottling, and should be expected to throw a sediment over time.
The 2007 Mourvèdre displays a classic nose of roasted meats, plums and spice. Juicy and full in the mouth, it features lingering notes of plum, currant, coffee, chocolate and leather, with substantial but fine-grained tannins and a long finish. We expect it to drink well for a decade at least.

Since 2007, we have made our En Gobelet exclusively from dry-farmed, head-trained vineyard blocks. The results have been so compelling that we're planning to plant our entire new parcel -- all 55 acres -- in this style over the coming decade. Join us for this vertical tasting of every vintage of En Gobelet, from the 2007 to the newly-blended 2014. We'll also offer, before the tasting, an optional hike led by Viticulturist Levi Glenn through the rugged Scruffy Hill block from which we source most of the wine, and finish with a picnic lunch on our patio. $60 for wine club members and $75 for guests. Reservations are essential; we expect this to sell out. To reserve, email us at email@example.com or call us at 805.237.1231 ext 30. Details & More Events »

In August, Antonio Galloni published the results of his annual visit to Tablas Creek, and we were excited to receive such good reviews from this notoriously tough grader. Notes included the 2012 Esprit de Tablas Blanc (92 points; "impeccably refined"), 2011 Panoplie (94 points; "pure elegance"), 2012 Patelin de Tablas (90 points; "a gorgeous wine and a fabulous value"), and the 2012 Esprit de Tablas (93-95 points; "a fascinating Esprit to follow over the coming years").

I had the distinct pleasure of tagging along last week on a trade visit to the Perrin family's holdings in the Rhone Valley. Our odyssey began with our thirsty quintet of wine professionals packed into an undersized rental car like foie gras terrine as we traversed from Dijon to Valence. I sat shotgun with GPS in hand and snails in my belly as we watched the landscape change from the sunflowers and Charolais beef pastures of Burgundy to the lavender fields and olive groves of the Rhone.

Sunrise sells for $6.5M
Sole bidder IBC Bank takes ownership, plans to maintain property
IBC Bank foreclosed on Sunrise Mall at an auction on the steps of the Nueces County Courthouse, in front of a small crowd.
A bank employee submitted the sole bid for $6.5 million on the bank's behalf, less than the $7.7 million it said it was owed in bankruptcy filings.
IBC Bank President Harold Shockley said the bank has hired a management company and intends to stabilize the property and take care of maintenance issues that have long been neglected.
"Our intent is to sell," Shockley said, "but in the meantime, we own it so now we have to take care of it."
Tenants were elated at the sale, with some saying they are more likely to keep their businesses there now that there is a change of management.
Steve Wenhold, owner of The Arcade at the mall, expressed relief.
"The owner that had the mall needed to get out of the picture for this mall to go anywhere," Wenhold said.
Fewer than half of the mall's storefronts are filled, and the property has been beset with maintenance complaints, including a broken escalator, overflowing trash receptacles and bathrooms that lacked toilet paper.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time," said Richard Perry, owner of Small Rides Plus. ""Now, I think we'll be able to see the mall moving forward."
Thomas Morris, the mall owner until Tuesday, did not return a call for comment.
The bank also foreclosed on Six Flags Mall in Arlington, which Morris also controlled.
Morris's creditors filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition in bankruptcy court in Fort Worth late Friday evening, a move that could have stopped foreclosure Tuesday. Bank officials sought and received an emergency hearing that permitted the bank to proceed with foreclosure on Tuesday.
The mall had been scheduled for foreclosure at least twice before but its owners headed off the auctions first by renegotiating the terms of its loans on the eve of auction, then by filing for bankruptcy.
The mall exited bankruptcy in July with promises that the mall's owners had obtained $11.5 million in financing. That measure apparently failed.
The bank most recently stepped in to restore electricity to parts of the building. Power had been shut off for nonpayment. Tenants pay separately for electricity and therefore continued to have power, but some whose spaces were dependent on mall air conditioning did without.

New London - AT&T, responding to a complaint by Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio that the company had neglected to file a notifice of intent to close a downtown call center, has delayed by nearly two months a planned relocation of 84 employees to New Haven.
"The city believes the lack of notice may be in violation of federal law," Finizio said in a letter dated July 2 to Randall Stephenson, chief executive of Dallas-based AT&T.
On July 3, AT&T filed a notification indicating that the call center will not be closed until Sept. 1 at the earliest, and William Henderson, president of the local Communications Workers of America union, said Monday that the company told him the closure would occur Sept. 9. The office at 200 State St. originally was slated for closure July 15.
Finizio's letter related to the closure of facilities covered by the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. AT&T said it didn't believe a movement of workers to another office at 350 George St. in New Haven fell under the WARN requirement, but decided to file a notice to ensure that it was in compliance with the law.
"All 84 employees currently employed at the New London facility will be offered a position at the New Haven facility, and we believe that this location is within a reasonable commuting distance," AT&T said in its letter to the state Department of Labor.
Henderson said the Labor Department considers a move of 35 miles or less to be a reasonable distance, but the New Haven consolidation will require a commute of about 50 miles.
"AT&T doesn't lay off people, it just makes it hard for them to stay," Henderson said. "The more people who leave, the more jobs they can offshore to a foreign country."
Henderson said he is trying to arrange a meeting between AT&T and state, federal and local officials to discuss the economic impact of the company's proposed move out of New London, where it has maintained an office for more than 70 years. He is hoping that an alternative could be found, such as utilizing space in an AT&T building on Washington Street that has plenty of empty space.
"I think this is a mistake that AT&T is making," Finizio said in a phone interview. "There is no real impending need to do this."
Finizio, in an earlier letter to the company, said it was unconscionable that a company making $13 billion a year in profits would put extra burdens on its workers.
"This move will unduly harm middle class workers who will now have to cover the increased cost of gas in tough economic times," he said in the letter.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney also have criticized AT&T's planned move.
Last month, about 30 local members of the Communications Workers of America union, joined by Finizio and state Rep. Ernest Hewett, protested outside the AT&T building, saying they were fighting for their jobs.
At the time, AT&T denied allegations that the local closure was tied to an elaborate plan to send more jobs overseas.
