By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
When the United States Bureau of Reclamation announced in fall 1947 that the "economically unfeasible" Gooseberry project was being abandoned, the majorilty of Carbon County residents breathed a sigh of relief.
During the post war years, the United States economy was converting to a consumer society. People were coming home from the military, wanting all the things they had been denied, including new cars and homes.
The work toward many large public projects was set back, as personal goals became all important to make up for lost time.
Infrastructure demands on government became monumental and officials were trying to keep up with the growth taking place.
The situation may have contributed to U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's announcement of Gooseberry's demise. But a short time later, rumors of a new move to build the dam started circulating.
In 1946, Sen. Abe Murdock submitted a bill to the U.S. Congress requesting authorization of the Central Utah Project. The funding flow to construct the dams was included in the bill.
However, Congress and the president did not want to sign a similar bill for one state. Murdock was defeated in the election that fall and left the U.S. Senate as a representative of Utah, turning the reins of that seat to Arthur V. Watkins.
The president and Congress wanted an agreement dividing the waters of the four upper basin states of the Colorado River Compact to go along with the CUP bill.
Finally the upper basin states came up with the Upper Colorado River Storage Compact, signed in October 1948.
The compact agreed to continue to supply 7.5 million acre feet to the lower basin states while dividing up the rest of the water. Colorado received 51.75 percent, Utah got 23 percent, Wyoming was given 14 percent, New Mexico was allowed 11.25 percent and Arizona, which falls into the unique position of being in the upper and lower basins, was guaranteed 50,000 acre feet per year.
At the time concerns were raised that the states in the upper basin may have been giving away too much to the federal government. Many feared that an entity much like the Tennessee Valley Authority was being created; a federal bureaucracy that seemed to manage everything from water to tourism from the 1930's on in that part of the country.
In 1948 the new Senator from Utah introduced a bill into congress which denoted the details of the Central Utah Project within the larger framework of what was known as the Colorado River Storage Project. This bill included provisions for building such dams as Echo Park and Split Mountain in Colorado, Joes Valley in Emery County and the Gooseberry Project on the upper Price River, amongst others. The Gooseberry issue was officially back on the table once again.
In April of 1949, the federal government turned the operation and maintenance of the newly completed Scofield Reservoir over to the Carbon Conservancy District. At that point it became the job of the CCD to supply water to the Price River Water Conservancy District for it's use.
In the beginning, when the dam was first completed, there was a contract between the three parties to encourage conservation of water and eventually to measure the output of the streams feeding the reservoir as well as the water that travelled downstream toward Price.
By 1949 all gauging devices had been installed, including those in the laterals used for irrigation in the county, and with that the CCD took over.
Water wise, the county looked to be in good shape for a long time to come. The rights to almost all the water in the drainage had been secured, with the exception of water that fed into Fairview Lake, a body of water that had been created in the late 1860's by Sanpete residents. There the "first in time, first in priority" held and Sanpete received water from that reservoir via a tunnel that had been constructed. However, the CRSP proposals were still hanging in the air, and water users in Carbon County had a right to be nervous.
Two more years went by before anything more official started to emerge concerning new plans as they related to the Gooseberry project. The Korean War had begun and that put everything on the back burner as far as federal projects were concerned.
During the summer of 1951, the presidents water resource policy commission produced a report which suggested that congress should set up separate river basin commissioners and administration for each of the three major basins covered under the Colorado River Compact. They further suggested that the three basins be guided by a chairman who would report directly to the president.
Many in the rural parts of Utah were concerned about this resolution. They felt it would give one person too much power, with no regulatory body overseeing them. Locally fears that commissioners over each subdivision might not be responsive to the water needs of counties was a huge concern.
As the country pulled into the mid-1950's the Korean conflict ended in terms of an active war, and the national government began to concentrate once again on big water projects.
The CRSP and it's CUP division was headed down the congressional road to reality. Trans-basin diversions, providing water for political power house areas such as the Wasatch Front, were the main aspects of the movement, with smaller ones, such as bringing more water from the east slope of the Wasatch Plateau to Sanpete County also being included in the package.
Once again, Carbon County interests would have to fight to keep the Gooseberry dam from being constructed. And this time, Carbon County would carry the fight from the state and local federal level all the way to Washington, D.C., and the halls of Congress.

Generally, the prospect of another four years for President Barack Obama is seen as bullish for the precious metal, said Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter. Gold gains nearly 2%
Obama's victory is expected to ensure continued loose monetary policy from the Federal Reserve will further weaken the U.S. dollar and fuel demand for gold on inflation fears. Read: What the election means for stocks, bonds, gold.

Comments about Schilke Standard Series Small Shank Trombone Mouthpiece in Silver:
This mouthpiece, with it's greater mass and larger throat than standard Bach or Bach-type mouthpieces produces a very full, "big" sound in comparison to others. The quality of the plating is also very good and durable.
The Schilke 47 trombone mouthpiece is roughly comparable to a Bach 6 3/4C. I say roughly because the Schilke has a lot more mass in the cup and a larger, more open throat. This produces a broad, "big" sound. The smaller than a 6 1/2 AL cup diameter and slightly shallower cup makes it an ideal mouthpiece for a lead player, eiter orchestral or commercial. It has an easy high range without experiencing the compact sound produced by smaller mouthpieces..
Schilke mouthpieces are built to exacting standards. The plating is excellent. I have both gold plated and silver plated 47's.. The gold plate version produced a slightly mellower sound, perhaps more suitable for orchestra. The silver plate produces a somewhar "brighter" sound. I use this for "commercial" applications.
Schilke mouthpieces are slightly more expensive than most other non-custom mouthpieces. However, for me, they produce a better sound, worth the extra cost to me.

I'm pleased and surprised by this deal.
My guess is that the 2M we're giving Texas got us Hunter and, if he were the only player involved I would have been happy. I can't remember the last time this team gave money to get a better prospect in a trade.
To me, Davis is a throw-in and we should not stop looking for a 1B prospect (Yonder Alonso?). At this point it will probably be a winter acquisition.
I was wrong because Chris Davis has worked hard to become a better hitter. He has talked about how he worked the winter before the 2012 season on hitting the other way and it showed last year. So far this year two of his home runs have been to the opposite field. He's SO strong that he can put it out of any park just by getting a decent swing at it, and that includes waiting long enough to take an outside pitch the other way.

I'm not sure how well I read into the Cru's collective opinion about the money-making aspect of this project. I think I heard some say that there's no way in hell they'd do it without being paid, and I got the impression that others would be happy to just do it as a project born out of the love of making puzzles. I have to say, I'm in that second group. I have a feeling I speak for a lot of constructors in saying that payment vs. non-payment for contributing to this project really wouldn't make a terribly big difference in their standard of living.
I don't want to get into a discussion about why crossword constructors should demand fair payment just like everyone else. I'll just stick to the subject. Put me on the list of constructors who absolutely will not do this for free. I won't do it for $50 either (as someone suggested). I want a percentage of the profits. If that turns out to be 50 cents, fine. I can live with making peanuts because the venture wasn't profitable. But I can't live with making peanuts because I settled for peanuts.Nelson

Musicians line up for parade in front of the Savoy Hotel that stood on the corner of 100 West and Main Street.
A float for a Price parade around 1920.
Price's big celebration was given as per schedule today, with the greater part of the exercises held this evening at the town hall. Councilman, Levi Harmon had charge of the program and the exercises, and , with the help of other members of the board, had planned everything nicely.
At different times throughout the day the new brass band gave selections and a dance was held at the town hall for the little folks in the afternoon. It had been planned to have a big barbeque but this had to be given up at the last moment. At eight o'clock one of the largest crowds that ever gathered in the town hall assembled to witness the literary part of the program. The stage by hard work has been very prettily decorated for the occasion, in colors and electric lights.
AN immense horse shoe, the sign of good luck, had been set on the rear of the stage and profusely decorated with electric lights. Across the top of the stage was the legend, "PRICE CITY" also in colors and illuminated with many lights. The members of the Council were seared on the stage, together with several prominent citizens and pioneers.
The mayor, W. F. Olsen occupied a seat under the horse shoe. At the proper time he gave a splendid address, in the nature of a sentiment, telling some of the things that the Council is planning for Price in the future, and in the present. A.W. Horsley one of the pioneers of the city,who came tot eh valley in 1883, gave a fine address on "What Price was, what it is, and what it will be." His remarks were timely and to the point and he delighted the audience with bits of his droll humor, which were heartily appreciated. In beginning he said "what Price was, won't take long to tell, what Price is, will take a little longer; what Price is going to be will take all night and then some."
Bishop Albert Bryner gave a short talk on pioneer conditions, and Levi Harmon gave an excellent closing address on the present and the future prosperity of the city. The program was complete with good things in the way of music by the school and Price orchestra and the band.
The men's quartette was greatly appreciated and heartily encored. Following the program, the floor was cleared for the dance, in which many participated.

Protests have continued across Egypt after a verdict was announced in a case over the deaths of more than seventy fans of Egypt's Al-Ahly football club in a stadium massacre on February 1, 2012, in the northern city of Port Said, during a brawl that began minutes after the final whistle of a match between Al-Ahly and opposing side, Al-Masry. 21 fans of the opposing side, Al-Masry, were given the death penalty in the court case, a verdict that must now be approved by Egypt's Grand Mufti. The verdict was handed down during a period of high tension across Egypt, one day after the second anniversary of the beginning of Egypt's 2011 revolution that overthrew former President, Hosni Mubarak.

Patients benefit when physicians and researchers collaborate with the private sector to advance the development of effective new drugs and medical devices. However, there is widespread concern that extensive financial relationships between providers and industry, particularly payments associated with product promotion, may unduly influence the care that patients receive.
Such conflicts of interest threaten the integrity of scientific investigations, the objectivity of professional education, the quality of patient care, and the public's trust in medicine.Institute of Medicine
Direct marketing by the pharmaceutical industry to medical professionals is estimated at $20 to $57 billion each year. A national survey published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that 84 percent of doctors have some type of financial relationship with the pharmaceutical industry.
Pew's work in this area seeks to ensure transparency in physician-industry relationships and promotes policies to reduce or manage conflicts of interest that could affect patient care. Our efforts have supported the creation of new policies at medical schools, professional medical associations, and have successfully supported state and federal disclosure laws.

Actually, 80% of small businesses aren't utilizing cloud business tools to the fullest extent, according to a recent survey conducted by Carbonite. The benefits of online backup are numerous: increased efficiency, peace of mind, affordability – just to name a few. Dive into these frequently asked questions to get a better understanding.
The "cloud" or "cloud computing" are tech-industry terms for information that's sent to data centers for safe keeping while remaining accessible to you in real time. Instead of backing up your photos, music or business documents to external hard drives or flash drives, online backup sends your data to a secure, offsite storage facility. You can access your files anytime, anywhere while they remain protected from fire, flood, theft or other data disasters.
The long and short of it is yes. Even if you're backing up your files already, it might not be happening as often as it should. If you want to keep your business IN business, backing up once a week – or even once a day – isn't enough. For complete protection, you must back up continually, so that if disaster (or a spilled cup of coffee) strikes, you can easily recover your files without missing a beat.
Well, let's just say that not using the cloud is the equivalent of keeping your money in your mattress. Storing your data in a professionally managed data center means it is given the proper TLC and attention it needs – redundant disk arrays, temperature controlled environments, backup power generators and more. If you're worried about prying eyes, you don't need to be. Your files are encrypted before they leave your computer and stay encrypted on our servers.
With the right vendor, you'd be surprised how affordable online backup can be. Especially when you consider what downtime or data loss could mean to your business (or how priceless those baby photos are). Carbonite offers a wide array of plans, so whatever your online backup needs there's a wallet-friendly plan to keep your files protected.
Ask any small business owner or parent about the importance of their computer files, and they'll tell you: files are not just files. They are customer records, invoices and contracts. They are Christmas mornings, first steps and college essays.
That's why more than 1.5 million customers, including 75,000 small businesses, trust Carbonite's secure, easy-to-use cloud backup solutions to protect their irreplaceable computer files.
Carbonite keeps small businesses and home offices running smoothly. We offer a comprehensive suite of affordable services for data protection, recovery and anytime, anywhere accessibility. From running your small business to running your household, our goal is to provide secure and affordable online backup for all your files.

The Irish approved an amendment to their national constitution on Saturday that will bring it into compliance with mandates of the United Nations that govern the state's seizure of children. The margin was 57 percent to 43 percent.
The Alliance of Parents against the State campaigned against passage of the referendum on the measure, which APS says will diminish the rights of parents and give the Irish government nearly unbridled power to seize children. Even worse, APS charges, Irish law will come under the control of the United Nations. The APS and other opponents will likely challenge the result.
The amendment's key words that pertain to the power the state are "best interests" — meaning the "best interests" of the child. Supposedly the state must always keep the "best interests" of a child uppermost in its decision to seize him. Problem is, APS says, the state determines what those "best interests" are.
The Law
Before the referendum passed, the law governing the Irish government's power to seize children rested in Article 5 of the country's Constitution, known in the Irish as the Bunreacht na hÉireann:
In exceptional cases, where the parents for physical or moral reasons fail in their duty towards their children, the State as guardian of the common good, by appropriate means shall endeavour to supply the place of the parents, but always with due regard for the natural and imprescriptible rights of the child.
That straightforward and simple codicil will be replaced by this 31st amendment to the constitution:

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The William and Mary women's basketball team fell to James Madison, 68-63, on Sunday afternoon at Kaplan Arena. In a contest defined by runs, W&M surged to a double digit first half lead, thanks in part to a 19-0 burst, but the Dukes countered with runs of their own as they rallied for the five-point victory. The setback drops the Green and Gold to 5-15 overall and 3-6 in Colonial Athletic Association play, while JMU upped its mark to 14-7 on the season and 8-1 in league action.
Senior Emily Correal led W&M with a game-high 28 points and six rebounds, while junior Kaitlyn Mathieu netted 10 points to go along with eight boards. Senior Janine Aldridge finished the afternoon with nine points and six assists. The Massapequa, N.Y., native netted all nine points on three 3-pointers. Senior Taylor Hilton posted six points and seven rebounds, while sophomore Jazmen Boone chipped in with seven points.
W&M finished the contest shooting 20-of-62 (32.2 percent) from the field and 7-of-28 (25.0 percent) from 3-point territory. The Tribe was an efficient 16-of-20 (80.0 percent) from the foul line as it owned the advantages in points off of turnovers (18-15) and second chance points (16-14). Defensively, W&M held the CAA's best 3-point percentage shooting team in check as JMU shot just eight percent (1-of-12) from beyond the arc.
After James Madison jumped out to an early 6-5 advantage, W&M took its first lead of the afternoon, 8-6, after Mathieu netted back-to-back 3-pointers with the second coming at the 15:22 juncture.
The trifectas courtesy of Mathieu sparked a 19-0 run in which the Green and Gold took a commanding 21-6 stranglehold at the 11:30 mark. During the stretch, the Tribe held the Dukes scoreless for over seven minutes as W&M netted buckets on six consecutive possessions, which was capped by sophomore Kyla Kerstetter's 3-pointer from the left wing off a feed from Boone.
James Madison clawed its way back into the tilt with a run of its own as Toia Giggetts tied the affair, 27-27, with a free-throw with 4:49 remaining. On its ensuing possession, W&M regained the lead when Aldridge's two-handed bounce pass reached a wide-open Boone who laid it in off the glass at the 3:17 mark.
The Dukes tied the contest for the third time of the half, 31-31, with 1:26 left to play. That's when the Tribe closed the stanza strong with a quick 5-0 spurt, which gave the Green and Gold a 36-31 lead at intermission. Boone's 3-pointer with 1:06 remaining was followed by a Correal lay up with 37 seconds left to go.
At the 15:04 mark of the second half, JMU knotted things up at 42 apiece after Hall connected from downtown. The Dukes then reeled off 14 unanswered points, as it owned a 56-42 lead with 10:13 left to play. Aldridge's 3-pointer snapped the run as W&M got to within 56-45 with 8:37 remaining in regulation. After JMU netted another bucket in which its lead grew to 13, 58-45, at the 8:17 juncture, the Tribe answered with a 9-0 burst. Correal's lay up ignited the charge, while two Boone free-throws got W&M to within 58-54 with 6:23 left in the contest. However, that's as close as the Green and Gold got to re-taking lead. JMU closed out the game making its final six foul shots en route to the victory.
Kirby Burkholder led James Madison with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Precious Hall and Tarik Hislop chipped in with 19 and 12 points, respectively. The Dukes capped the afternoon shooting 42.1 percent (24-of-57) from the floor and 79.2 percent (19-of-24) from the foul line.
The Tribe returns to action at Georgia State on Thursday, Feb. 7. Tip-off in Atlanta, Ga., is scheduled for 7 p.m. and fans can follow the action online at TribeAthletics.com with live stats.

As you may recall, we celebrated our true 16th anniversary just a few weeks ago. (On July 26th, to be exact.) And of course we've been kind enough to politely remind you about the upcoming Stone 16th Anniversary Celebration & Invitational Beer Festival. (On August 17-18, to be exact.) But what kind of anniversary celebration would it be without a new libation, amirite?
In keeping with our yearly tradition of making an excellent beer to ring in our happy day of birth, our stellar brewing crew is proud to present the deliciously hoppy Stone 16th Anniversary IPA. It's actually a double IPA (don't pretend to be surprised) spiked with a touch of lemon verbena and lemon oil, which Brewmaster Mitch Steele tells us "combines wonderfully with the peach and tropical mango flavors from the Amarillo hops, and with the apple and berry notes from the Calypso hops."

Is J.J. Dy-no-mite?

Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
- Remember when the 2005-2006 campaign was referred to as the "Rudy Gay Sweepstakes"? Now he's that guy - the one sitting in the green room waiting for his name to be called.
- Battier to Houston for the relieved-to-picked Gay. I guess the plan is to move McGrady to the off-guard and let Battier defend the better wing players. The ESPN cabal hates the trade; I think it makes sense for the Rockets. Van Gundy prides himself on wing defenders and this works for his scheme. Likewise, Memphis desperately needs some fire power and Memphis gets that in Rudy.
- Is the Adonal Foyle experiment in Oakland over? I love the euphemism "project" - that's what we heard in Atlanta for years re: John Koncak. Then again, that's what we heard about Chris Kaman. Every center, save Shaq, was a project. So was the Los Angeles subway and the Big Dig.
- J.J. vs. DeShawn Stevenson at the SG. Works for me. Can he create his own shot and fight his way through some brutal screens? Can he find the open space off the double team? To be continued...

To hear cinematographer Salvatore Totino, ASC, AIC talk about his latest film, People Like Us, you can tell the project resonated deeply with him. The Dream Works SKG film, about a man who must deliver part of his deceased father's fortune to a sister he has never met, stars Chris Pine, Elizabeth Banks and Michelle Pfeiffer in writer-producer Alex Kurtzman's feature directing debut. The story, written by Kurtzman, is quite a departure from his usual fantasy and science-fiction fare (Transformers, Star Trek, Alias and Fringe), and it really gripped Totino.
"I equate this film to a modern-day version of the psychology that was behind Italian neo-realism films," says Totino. "This is a real story that has been fictionalized to some degree but is accessible to everybody. With that storyline, a lot of people will turn around and say I know somebody like that or that has happened to me or will know what it is like to be an illegitimate child. It's so real, and that is what drew me to the film."
What did you feel you could bring to the film as far as a visual approach?
My whole idea with the film was to help create a real environment so that the viewer can relate to the story. For example, we would be inside a house in the middle of the day, and it would be lit from outside so it feels tangible.
Did shooting on film help in your approach as opposed to using a digital format?
Absolutely. If I had my choice, I'd always shoot film as much as possible.
Which film stocks did you use?
We shot KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film 5219, KODAK VISION3 250D Color Negative Film 5207 and a little bit of KODAK VISION2 100T Color Negative Film 5212, which I used on a few daytime exteriors. Most of the time I chose 5207, including for the majority of daytime interiors.
For nighttime shots, did you do any pushing of the film stock?
I didn't need to do it. I worked in the toe of the film when I could, and there is a lot of latitude there to work with. I didn't want to change the grain structure at all by pushing the film because I was trying to be clean and not artificial. I was very conscious of making it feel very naturally lit.
Considering the cast, was there any special lighting for them?
No, and that was a fine line to walk because it was all about keeping it genuine. I wasn't trying to be extra conscious of beauty. I wanted them to look good, but I wanted it to look real and not over the top. The film is very emotional, and you forget you are watching a movie. I give credit to Alex (Kurtzman) for that. Although this is his first feature as a director, I felt like I was working with a seasoned filmmaker. I was very impressed with how prepared he was.
It sounds like there was restraint in having the cinematography and look call attention to itself.
I try to do that with most of my films, unless it is something like a science-fiction thriller where the look is part of the story. Alex wanted the film to look good, and gave me a lot of room as to where I wanted to go with it. In this film, the look is there to help tell the story but not distract from it.
You shot this in 3-perf Super 35mm. Which cameras and lenses did you employ?
I shot the film on ARRI ST and LT cameras and COOKE S4 lenses. I love those lenses. They are slightly on the warm side and are very clean. I own a set — that's how much I love them! I usually shoot two cameras and operate one — the B camera. I had an incredible operator in Colin Anderson who brought a lot to the table. I gave Colin a lot of room to bring his storytelling abilities to the film.
How did camera movement factor into the visual approach?
We were always mindful of moving the camera. The cameras were on dollies, sliders, and STEADICAMS. Every scene had a little bit of camera movement to it to help draw you in and help you focus on what was happening with the actors. Camera movement makes the audience feel like they are there as opposed to being just an observer, and that is what really helps them relate to this film, as well.
Which scene sticks in your memory the most?
There are a couple emotional scenes with Michelle (Pfeiffer) and Chris (Pine), and I found myself crying behind the camera. When you're behind the camera and you start crying … you go back to that moment when you were younger and deciding you want to make films — that you believe in them. The actor and actress have taken you somewhere. It's one of those extremely rare moments of 'This is what I always wanted to do.' You're an artist, you're a technician, you're a manager, and you can become so preoccupied with what's at hand to accomplish that day that when you get those moments, it's so special.
When lighting interiors through windows, what are you using to get enough light for your exposure choice?
Different locations called for different lighting elements. We shot a scene in Cole's, which is a restaurant and bar in downtown Los Angeles with very dark windows and a dark interior. I lit that with 240,000 watts of light through the windows. We used two 100,000-watt SOFTSUNS, plus a bunch of 18Ks. When you see the scene, you don't even feel like it's lit. In Michelle's house interiors, I used some 18K ARRIMAX HMIs outside.
Do you complement this lighting with anything inside the interior locations?
Very little is used inside. I try to use a little bit of bounce. But that's what is so great about the film stocks — you have this latitude and contrast there that allowed me to work in this environment. I would have had to approach it differently if I did it digitally.
Did you encounter a shot or scene that turned out to be more complicated than anticipated?
There is a night scene with Chris and his mom on a bench in Laurel Canyon overlooking the city, and we had talked about approaching it a certain way. When we got there with the actors and blocked the scene, it wasn't working the way we had planned. We only had one night to do it. It's a low-budget film so we couldn't come back, and we were fighting against the rising sun. We simplified it and changed everything — the coverage, the angles, the camera movement — and it turned out great. We shot listed the script beforehand, but sometimes you have to change it up when the players get there. We had that flexibility to do that, and it was great to work that way. That's the way I work with Ron Howard, as well.
Another good thing about this film is that we worked really hard to make sure we had a lot of coverage, which gave Alex more choices editorially. That is unusual in a lower budget film because you don't have the time. We shot for 42 days with two days of additional shooting. We had a great crew and the actors were dialed in. The coverage enhanced the film.
Who handled your dailies and digital intermediate?
Deluxe Laboratories developed the film, and we did dailies at EFILM. Ben Estrada did my dailies as well as the DI color timing. I viewed dailies in digital form on DVD, but I got to look at some prints when I needed to. The film colorist was Yvan Lucas.
Did you use the DI to create a look or was that done primarily in camera beforehand?
We captured most of the look in camera. The DI was more like conventional color timing except for a few spots where we did some Power Windows, and that was only necessary because while we were filming, it would have taken extra time to flag off and bring down the lighting on a particular wall. Instead, we used that time to get more coverage through an extra setup or two.
Looking back, what do you take away from this movie's undertaking?
It was an incredible experience, and working with those professionals in a low-budget world helped make a difference. Producer Clayton Townsend — with whom I did my first feature Any Given Sunday — worked really hard to give us what we needed to tell the story. Ida Random, the production designer, worked with one hand tied behind her back because she didn't have the funds but gave us sets that were fantastic. She did a great job and helped me tell the story. The other asset was the collaborative relationship with the director. Alex felt comfortable and trusted me, and that collaboration always makes a difference.

The current mayor of Paris – Bertrand Delanoë – is a living liveable city legend. While at the reins of the city for two terms, he has transformed the French capital in so many positive ways.
You have to love a mayor quoted as saying, "The fact is that cars no longer have a place in the big cities of our time".
30 km/h zones, traffic calming and... the Vélib' bike sharing system are all part of his modern legacy.
She is already in charge of urban planning since Delanoë was elected to his second term. She knows the ropes, so to speak.
- to extend the Vélib' network to the whole metropolitan area.
- to reduce the car speed limit to 30 km/h, excepted on the main boulevard.
- to double the number of bicycle users in 10 years.
- to double the number of bike lanes by creating a north-south lane, a lane on the Champs Elysées, a lane to reach the woods (Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes) and the cities located around Paris, a lane the circumnavigates the city, a lane along the railways, and one along the river.
- to set up more Vélib' stations and bike parking at museum, train stations and schools.
- to set up more signs and wayfinding for bicycle users.
- to redesign the main squares for pedestrians and bicycle users.
- to launch an e-Vélib' (public electric bike).
We like what we read but for a city that has done so much in so little time, what about pushing it just that little bit farther? The world needs leadership. A lot of it sounds like Hildago is focusing on commuting and, perhaps, recreational cycling. What about developing a bicycle culture right there in the neighbourhoods, making space and facilities for cargo bikes, creating safe routes to school, developing bicycle streets as WELL as building bicycle superhighways? Go Paris! We want you to go one step further!
We wonder, however, what KIND of infrastructure will be built? Will they be wide and well separated from the cars? Or will the bicycle users be forced to keep on sharing the lane with the buses? It's interesting to create bike lanes which go through Paris but bicycle users are more interested in reaching the office, the bakery, the school safely every day safely than knowing that Paris can be crossed from East to West. To create the right conditions for cycling, users must know that they can bike everywhere in the city safely and quickly.

Read: What Makes John Tortorella Let His Guard Down
At The Bio File, Scoop Malinowski went in search of how John Tortorella is remembered in Tampa Bay.
He spoke with Scott Audette, who is the team photographer for Tampa, who said that "I love the guy" and said that the charity he work did in Tampa was "amazing."
Tom Gilbert said of Torts "I know him on and off the ice. What he did off the ice for this community is fantastic. He had the John Tortorella Fishing Tournament, he would take underpriviliged kids fishing. He loved kids, he loved the community."
Mike Didtler said"What I remember about Torts is not so much his success on the ice but how much he did in the community. He was a very civic-minded person though he didn't blow his own horn about it. "
THIS SECTION is dedicated to the "other side" of John Tortorella.

gnuspeech makes it easy to produce high quality computer speech output, design new language databases, and create controlled speech stimuli for psychophysical experiments.
The suite of programs uses a true articulatory model of the vocal tract and incorporates models of English rhythm and intonation based on extensive research that sets a new standard for synthetic speech.
The original NeXT computer implementation is complete. The ports to both OS X and GNU/Linux provide English text-to-speech capability, but parts of the database creation tools are still in the process of being ported.
Credits for research and implementation of the gnuspeech system appear the section Thanks to those who have helped below. Some of the features of gnuspeech, with the tools that are part of the software suite, tools include:
More detailed information on the components noted above appears in what follows, with an indication of their current state in the OS X and GNU/Linux GNUStep ports, their origin, and some suggestions for further work.
It is a play on words. This is a new (g-nu) "event-based" approach to speech synthesis from text, that uses an accurate articulatory model rather than a formant-based approximation. It is also a GNU project, aimed at providing high quality text-to-speech output for GNU/Linux (and Mac OS X). In addition, it provides comprehensive tools for psychophysical and linguistic experiments as well as for creating the databases for arbitrary languages.
The goal of the project is to create the best speech synthesis software on the planet.
Although no official release has been made yet (but will occur "real soon now"), unofficial packages for GNUStep, Mac OS X and NeXT (NeXTSTEP 3.0), are available for anonymous download from the SVN repository. All provide text-to-speech capability. For GNUStep and OS X the database creation and inspection tools (such as Synthesizer) can be used as intended, but work remains to be done to complete the database creation components of Monet that are needed for psychophysical/linguistic experiments, and for setting up new languages. The SVN Repository material may soon be migrated to a Git Repository instead. Stay tuned.
It would be very helpful if those obtaining and using the pre-release material would also join the mailing list (as explained below), and provide some feedback, ask questions, and so on.
Those willing to help with the project are invited to contact the authors/developers through the gnu project facilities. Both helpers and users can join the project mailing list by visiting the subscription page, and send mail to the group. Offers of help receive special attention!
The project implementation history, explaining the components, is presented on a new page to reduce clutter.
In summary, much of the core software has been ported to the Mac under OS/X, and GNU/Linux under GNUStep. All sources and builds are currently in the SVN repository under those three branches. Speech may be produced from input text. The development facilities for managing and creating new language databases, or modifying the existing English database for text-to-speech are incomplete, but coming along. These facilities also provide the tools needed for psychophysical and linguistic experiments. Synthesizer, which gives direct access to the tube model, is about 70% complete and already usefully functional—some of the data displays are stubs at present and clean-up is needed. Some accessory tools are available.
gnuspeech is currently fully available as a NextSTEP 3.x version, and partly available (with working text-to-speech) as a version that compiles for both Mac OS/X, and GNU/Linux under GNUStep. Additionally, OS X .dmg files and NeXT packages that can be directly installed and run are available. These files are held in the Subversion Repository (not the CVS Repository) on the savannah web page for the project— under "-Browse Sources Repository" in the "Development Tools" section. The material is organised according to the three branches previously mentioned (gnustep/, nextstep/ and osx/).
The original NeXT User and Developer Kits are complete, but do not run under OS X or under GNUStep on GNU/Linux. They also suffer from the limitations of a slow machine, so that shorter TRM lengths cannot be used. Any password can be selected to activate the NeXT kits from the file "nextstep / trunk / priv / SerialNumbers" and choosing a password such as "bb976d4a" for User 26 or "ebe22748" for Dev 15 from the very large selection provided. In fact, you can use these passwords. But you need a NeXT computer, of course (try Black Hole, Inc. if you'd like one).
Developers should contact the authors/developers through the gnu project facilities. To join the project mailing list, you can go directly to the subscription page. Papers and manuals are available on-line (see below).
A number of papers and manuals relevant to gnuspeech exist:
Some examples of the papers by other researchers that helped us in developing gnuspeech include:
but there are far too many to list them all. Further papers may be found in the citations incorporated in the relevant papers noted above and/or listed on David Hill's university web site.
See the section on Manuals and papers
To contact the maintainers of gnuspeech, to report a bug, or to contribute fixes or improvements, to join the development team, or to join the gnuspeech mailing list, please visit the gnuspeech project page and use the facilities provided. The mailing list can be accessed under the section "Communication Tools". To help with the project work you can also contact Professor David Hill directly.
The research that provides the foundation of the system was carried out in research departments in France, Sweden, Poland, and Canada and is ongoing. The original system was commercialised by a now-liquidated University of Calgary spin-off company—Trillium Sound Research Inc. All the software has subsequently been donated by its creators to the Free Software Foundation forming the basis of the GNU Project gnuspeech. It is freely available under a General Public Licence, as described herein.
Many people have contributed to the work, either directly on the project, or indirectly through relevant research. The latter appear in the citations to the papers referenced above. Of particular note are Perry Cook & Julius Smith (Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics) for the waveguide model and the DSP Music Kit), René Carré (at the Département Signal, École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications in Paris). Carré's work was, in turn, based on work on formant sensitivity analysis by Gunnar Fant and his colleagues at the Speech Rechnology Lab of the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. The original gnuspeech system was created over several years from 1990 to 1995 by the University of Calgary technology-transfer spin-off company Trillium Sound Research Inc. founded by David Hill, Leonard Manzara and Craig Schock at Leonard's suggestion. The work then and since was mainly performed by the following:

An American has been convicted by North Korea of trying to topple the government and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. Kenneth Bae, 44, a resident of Washington state, was in North Korea on a tourist visa last year when he was arrested by North Korean authorities November 3 in the city of Rason near the border of Russia and China. CBN News reported that Bae, who is a committed Christian, was convicted by North Korea's supreme court of attempting to topple the government and of other unspecified "hostile acts" against the communist nation.
South Korean sources familiar with the case said Bae may have been arrested for photographing starving children. Bae was born in South Korea but is a naturalized U.S. citizen who attended the University of Oregon. His most recent residence was the Seattle suburb of Lynnwood.
Reuters News quoted a North Korean defector as speculating that Bae will most likely serve his sentence in a special facility for foreign prisoners, rather than one of the nation's notorious forced-labor camps for North Korean citizens. Some human rights groups estimate that more than 200,000 people are kept in such camps, where they are beaten and starved, and where many perish.
"If an American served jail together with North Korean inmates, which won't happen, he could tell them about capitalism or economic developments," explained Kwon Hyo-jin, a North Korean who spent seven years in one of the labor camps until his release in 2007 and escape to South Korea two years later. "That would be the biggest mistake for North Korea." Instead, said Kwon, Bae would most likely "be sent to a correctional facility that only houses foreigners and was set up as a model for international human rights groups."
Reuters reported that Bae "was part of a group of five tourists who visited the northeastern North Korean city of Rajon in November and has been held since then. Some media reports have identified Bae as the leader of the tour group and NK News, a specialist North Korea news website, said he was the owner of a company called Nation Tours that specialized in tours of north-east North Korea."

Though the NRA unsurprisingly objected to the gun control measures being considered by US Vice President Joe Biden's gun violence task force, Biden is pressing on with his plan to send the president gun control proposals. Biden met with the NRA and other gun control opponents January 10 for about an hour and a half. The NRA in a statement following the meeting said, "We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment."

Precision keyboard and professional control surface.
Novation's Impulse series are a range of professional USB/MIDI controllers. The Impulse 61 has a 61-key precision keyboard and full control surface powered by a brand new version of Novation's Automap control software - Automap 4 (which makes getting hands-on with your DAW/plug-ins fast and simple). Impulse also has 8 back-lit drum pads which can warp arpeggios, roll beats and launch clips in Ableton live.
"Player's" keyboard
Impulse has a precision 'players' keyboard. It is semi-weighted with assignable aftertouch and has been designed to feel like an instrument rather than a computer peripheral. In addition to feeling good, it is incredibly accurate - this means it can translate musical expression (how you play the keyboard) extremely effectively. So your performance is reflected exactly by the synth or software instrument you are triggering.
Full control surface
The control surface allows you to get hands on control for your DAW and plug-ins. We have worked with all the major DAW and plug-in manufacturers to make sure that you get instant control of your mixer, transport controls and plug-in instruments and effects.
Many MIDI controllers have knobs, faders and buttons, but using them is difficult and time consuming. Impulse (as with all Novation controllers) comes with Automap control software. This gives you instant mapping to the things you need to control, meaning you can make full use of faders, knobs and buttons on Impulse to get hands-on with your music software.
Automap Control Software - instant mixer, transport and plug-in control
Automap is a piece of software that comes with all Novation controllers. It makes it fast and simple to control your music software with knobs, buttons and faders. It has been used by many top musician/producers since 2006.
Impulse gives you control over the mixer, transport and plug-ins of all major DAWs, as well as plug-in instruments and effects that don't come with your DAW, like Native Instruments, Waves or FXpansion. Automap enables you to see instantly which knobs, faders and buttons are controlling which part of your software. It also makes it easy to quickly change what the knobs are controlling.
See what you are controlling
Automap has a software edit page that looks just like the Impulse control surface. This labels what each knob, fader and button is controlling, because with so many things in your DAW and plug-ins, it is easy to lose track of what is assigned to what. You can hide this window once you are finished with it, so you can continue making music.
Get instant control
Impulse's controls can be used to control your plug-in instruments and effects. When you open a software instrument/effect, the 8 knobs will already be linked to things in it. If you want to control different things, just press the 'Learn' button, click on the software thing, and wiggle the knob that you want to control it. This way you can get hands on control of exactly what you want almost instantly.
Back-lit drum pads, Ableton Clip Launch, Arpeggiator and Beat Roll:
Impulse has 8 drum pads which are velocity-sensitive - with aftertouch! These are back-lit with 3-colour LEDs which means they can do things other drum pads can't…
Ableton Live Clip Launch
Impulse comes with Ableton Live Lite included - but if you are already an Ableton user, you will appreciate the power of this. The 8 drum pads can be used to launch clips in Live. The three colours indicate whether a clip is loaded (yellow), playing (green), or recording (red). This makes Impulse the best keyboard for Ableton Live users without exception.
Arpeggiator Warping
Impulse has a built in Arpeggiator which enables you to play a turn any chord into an arpeggio. The drum pads take this a step further by enabling you to warp arpeggios. By switching the 8 pads in or out you can change the rhythm of the arpeggio in real time (this works brilliantly with drums!)
You can also change the speed, shape, syncopation and gate time of the arpeggio.
Beat Roll
Drum pads are great for playing drums! With Beat Roll you can hold on to the pad and create a roll - because the pads are pressure sensitive you can change the volume of the drum as it is rolling, just by pushing down on the pad. This enables some really cool performance tricks!
Works with all major DAWs:
In addition to the major DAWs, Impulse & Automap 4 have been specially designed to give you full control of 3rd party plug-in instruments and effects, like Native Instruments, Waves or FXpansion.
Ableton (Ableton Live Lite comes included with Impulse)
- Mixer control (all channels)
- Transport control
- Clip launch (using Impulse's back-lit drum pads)
- Scene launch
- Plug-in/Device control (instant control of Ableton's own devices as well as 3rd party VST/AU plug-ins)
- Mixer control (all channels)
- Transport control
- Plug-in instrument/effects control (instant control of whatever VST instrument or effect is in focus)
- Mixer control (all channels)

Comments about Novation Impulse 61 MIDI Controller:
So this is my 3rd review on this product. After Musicians Friend came to my rescue, the new unit arrived. I plugged it in and everything is working correctly. This time I did not install Automap. I am creating my own controller setups which is quite easy in my DAW (Sonar X3). I did not update the firmware either. If it is working well, why bother taking another chance on their software? I am very pleased with the unit now. I am giving this a positive recommendation based on the unit as it arrived. The choice to do updates of the firmware or using Automap is risky.
Best Uses
Comments about Novation Impulse 61 MIDI Controller:
I got this hoping the keys would be really easy to press but they were just a hair too stiff for me. I don't play keyboard professionally and I have a little finger issue with some fingers so I need a really light action. I really loved this keyboard. Loved the faders, knobs and mod wheel. Easy to turn/move. Just was used to easier keys so I'm off to look for something with very light action.

YIELD: Makes 24 pieces
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- Pinch of ground allspice
- Pinch of ground ginger
- Pinch of ground cloves
- 8 ounces (about 2 cups) walnuts
- 6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 6 ounces (about 1 cup) whole pitted dates
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 egg, beaten to blend
- 11 sheets frozen phyllo pastry (about 1/2 pound), thawed
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 24 walnut halves
- Whipped cream (optional)
For syrup:
Bring all ingredients to boil in heavy small saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Continue boiling 1 minute. Cool completely. (Can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Cover and store at room temperature.)
For filling:
Combine 8 ounces walnuts, 6 ounces chocolate, dates, sugar and cinnamon in processor. Coarsely chop using on/off turns. Transfer filling to medium bowl. Mix in egg.
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Lightly butter 13 x 9 x 2-inch metal baking pan. Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface (keep remainder covered with plastic and damp towel to prevent drying). Brush phyllo with butter. Top with second phyllo sheet and brush with butter. Arrange sheets buttered side up and lengthwise in prepared pan, covering bottom and ends of pan. Brush another phyllo sheet with butter. Fold phyllo in half forming 8 x 12-inch rectangle and brush with butter. Repeat with 2 more phyllo sheets. Place 3 folded phyllo sheets in bottom of pan, buttered side up. Sprinkle half of filling over. Butter another phyllo sheet and fold in half. Butter top and place atop filling. Sprinkle remaining filling over. Repeat buttering and folding with 3 more phyllo sheets. Place atop filling. Butter last 2 phyllo sheets. Place lengthwise in pan, tucking in sides and ends of top and bottom sheets to enclose filling completely.
Carefully cut through top layers of phyllo (do not cut through to filling) to form twenty-four 2-inch squares. Pour any remaining butter over. Bake until top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Immediately spoon syrup over baklava. Cool completely. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight.
Melt 2 ounces chocolate and 1 tablespoon butter in heavy small saucepan. Dip walnut halves halfway into chocolate; shake off excess. Place on waxed paper and refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover walnuts with waxed paper.) Cut baklava into squares to platter. Place chocolate-dipped walnut half atop each square. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
