Nearly nine weeks into his second year as superintendent of schools for Coweta County, Dr. Steve Barker says its the community that keeps enrollment climbing in local schools while neighboring district numbers continue to decline.
"Enrollment is an indicator of strong community and civic-mindedness, and I'm very proud of that," Barker told Newnan Rotary Club members at their Friday meeting at Newnan Country Club.
Coweta County School System currently serves 22,715 students.
"There are a lot of moving parts to educating this many students," Barker said. "It's been a very good start to the school year, but it's been busy."
Barker highlighted accomplishments and outlined some of the goals and incentives of the Coweta County School System, including:
• Smokey Road Principal Laurie Barron's being named National Middle Level Principal of the Year.
"She doesn't run things like a regular public school," Barker said. "I've learned it's best to just get out of her way."
• Central Educational Center, which was named an "Innovator" by the Southern Growth Policies Board and nominated for a STEM Education Award by the Technology Association of Georgia.
"The industry of science, technology, engineering and math and public education are pulling in the same direction, trying to find better ways of educating students for the 21st century workforce," Barker said. "CEC is pushing very hard in that direction, and it's also an area we're continuing to explore."
• End-of-course testing, which replaces the Georgia High School Graduation Test; SAT vs. ACT tests as an indicator of college readiness; and the College and Career Readiness Performance Index, which replaces Annual Yearly Progress now that Georgia has been granted a waiver from No Child Left Behind mandates.
"CCRPI uses a broader brush to see how schools are doingâ ¦ instead of just test scores," Barker said, eliciting chuckles when he added, "I wish I could tell you how it's calculated, but they haven't told us yet.
"I think it will be a good thing," he said.
• ESPLOST IV, the education-earmarked, one percent special purpose local option sales tax, which will allow up to $130 million in collections from 2012-15. The school system plans to use the funds for school renovations and expansion, technology and transportation.
"This is difference in that we are approaching it from pay-as-you-go," Barker said. "We're not anticipating borrowing any money up front this time."
Expansion will include increased high school space, Barker said. Using funds from previous ESPLOST campaigns, the school system recently completed extensive renovations at Newnan High School, with similar work planned at East Coweta High School. Previous ESPLOST funds also provided ninth grade campuses, classroom technology, bus fleet expansion and construction of the new Corinth Road Middle School, set to open in fall 2014.
• Eighth Grade Charter College and Career Academy, a first-year program in which a group of middle-schoolers is taking all coursework at CEC.
"So far, the model's been very successful and we're getting great feedback from students," Barker said
• Bring Your Own Technology program, in which students are encouraged to use devices such as smartphones and tablets to increase classroom technology capability.
The Shenandoah Georgia Youth Science and Technology Center, now based in Grantville, is aiding the effort by sponsoring a tax-free donation program for used devices in good working order. Donations will be distributed to students who do not own devices.
• Inaugural Technology Summit for Coweta County educators, held in July to encourage the use of technology in classrooms.
• System Leadership Academy, a mentoring and leadership skill development program for Coweta educators who are interested in becoming administrators.
"We're trying to grow our next generation of leaders," Barker said.
• Dual enrollment, in which students have the opportunity to earn college credit while completing high school. Barker said more than 150 students currently are dual-enrolled, an increase from last year.
Barker, when asked to comment on the hot-button charter amendment debate, pointed to CEC as a "great example of good chartering."
"It is a national model supported by both local and state boards," he said.
After briefly outlining the process of charter application, Barker said November's vote "is about who gets to decide about granting a charter."
"I encourage you to educate yourself," Barker said. "I'm not going to stand up here and tell you how to vote."

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: 2.0-ALPHA3
Component/s: ORM
Security Level: All
When cascading 'persist' operations, the object which was not persisted implicitly is being written to the DB with wrong parameters, broken SQL:
INSERT INTO email (email, userId) VALUES (?, ?) array(3) { [1]=> NULL [2]=> string(16) "email@example.com" [3]=> int(1) }
See the attached example for details... When I uncomment the "$em->persist($email);" line, everything works as expected (but I'd like this persist to be done automatically...)
Indeed this looks like a bug, but it is unrelated to cascades.
I will explain on your code sample:
$em = EntityManager::create($connectionOptions, $config); $user = new \Entity\User; $user->setName('Bob'); // This would invoke persist() on the associated email because of the cascade, but there is no email yet! // After persist() $user is MANAGED $em->persist($user); $email = new \Entity\Email; $email->setEmail('firstname.lastname@example.com'); $user->addEmails($email); // On flush the email should be correctly persisted because it is NEW but referenced/reachable from a MANAGED entity ($user) $em->flush();
Just to clarify. So this is a bug in the "persistence by reachability".
"persistence by reachability" means that a NEW entity (like $email) that is associated to a MANAGED entity (like $user) and the association has cascade=persist is automatically persisted on flush().
I still need to write about persistence by reachability in the manual but as you have already found out, it is intuitive since you expect that to happen.
Ok its not completely unrelated to cascades since persistence by reachability still requires cascade=persist but the bug itself has to do with incorrect changeset calculation.

Document Number: 5720CCDF and 21CCLC: State Efforts to Facilitate Coordination for Afterschool Programs - To date, few afterschool programs have successfully integrated funding from the Child Care and Development Fund and 21st Century Community Learning Centers. This short report describes the scope of the federal Child Care and Development Fund and 21st Century Community Learning Centers programs. The authors argue for aligning the two funds, and identify strategies states are using to overcome three areas of challenges for coordinating the two programs: philosophical and cultural differences, program administration, and competition for scarce resources. (National Child Care Information Center, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, October 2004)...

Cambodia: Garment workers sacked for striking
Take action today to support over 300 Cambodian workers sacked for their participation in strikes for fair wages. The workers downed their tools in September last year to support trade unions in ongoing minimum-wage negotiations. They were dismissed from their factories as a consequence.
Bangladesh labour leaders fear for physical safety
Since the announcement of the new minimum wage proposal on July 29, workers continued their protests in the streets. Violent clashes between workers and the police resulted in many arrests, and cases against thousands of workers, often anonymously, have been filed. On July 30, more criminal cases were filed against the BCWS staff and other worker leaders. Your urgent support is needed to stop the crackdown on the labour rights organisations.
BANGLADESH: New minimum wage proposal
On July 30, the Bangladesh government announced its proposal to raise the minimum monthly wage to 3000 Taka (€32), effective November 1, 2010. Of that amount, 2,000 takas would be the basic pay while 800 takas would be paid in house rent and 200 takas in health allowance. The apprentice level wage would increase to 2,500 takas (€27), up from the present 1,200 takas (€13).
Bangladesh: Labour activists reject minimum wage proposal
Garment-workers unions and labour-rights organisations have reacted with indignation and disappointment at the newly-proposed increase to the minimum wage in Bangladesh' garment industry. Yesterday the National Wage Board recommended an increase of the minimum wage to 3000 Bangladeshi 'taka' (£27).

New CEO for Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International
Bonn, June 29th 2007. A new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is being appointed to head up the Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO) which is based in Bonn, Germany. FLO is the umbrella organization that unites national Fairtrade initiatives in 21 countries and producer networks representing Fairtrade Certified Producer Organizations in Central and Latin America, Africa and Asia.
Rob Cameron was CEO and then executive chairman of the international communications company, Flag Communications, in Cambridge, UK. As the driving force behind the company, he led it from a 3 person start-up to a multi-million pound business. In 1998, under Rob's leadership, Flag branched out into corporate responsibility and sustainable development communications. Within a few years Flag had become a market leader in this area with multinational clients around the world, including continental Europe and North America.
Rob holds strong views about the nature of business and work, and instilled strong values and sense of purpose and mission into Flag. Britain's Business in the Community recognised this by voting Flag a finalist in their UK Small Company of the Year in 2002 and 2003. Flag was bought by Computershare in 2004 and Rob has remained a director of the company since then, expanding their work in the US and directing major CSR accounts.
Rob has served on the boards of a range of not-for-profit organizations, most significantly AccountAbility, a leading sustainable development think tank and standard setter, where he has advised on growth, organizational development and international expansion.
Commenting on his new career choice, Rob says: "The opportunity to join FLO International in this its 10th anniversary year is a tremendous honour and I am excited at the prospect of leading the organization forward to meet the many challenges of the future. The incredible growth of interest in Fairtrade, and in Fairtrade product sales, is testimony to the dedication and hard work of so many people in FLO and in the national labelling initiatives, and I'm looking forward to working with such great teams".
He continues: "Above all, growth in Fairtrade means one single most important thing: that the lives of farmers and workers in the developing world, and those of their families and communities, are enhanced. So extending the scope and impact of Fairtrade in existing and new markets is in my view one of the most pressing imperatives and opportunities in international development in the 21st century."
Rob is also a fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts and has just been made one of the UK Prince of Wales's Ambassadors for Corporate Responsibility in June 2007.
"The FLO Board," says Barbara Fiorito, chair of the FLO Board, "is very enthusiastic about the experience and energy that Rob Cameron will bring to the organization. We believe he will make a significant contribution to our ability to help small producers benefit from the continuing exciting growth of Fairtrade in all its markets."
Rob replaces Luuk Zonneveld from the Netherlands who has been Managing Director of FLO for six years. Luuk has been at the helm of FLO during a time of enormous growth which surpassed even the most optimistic expectations with sales of Fairtrade products increasing by 40 percent globally in recent years, and a doubling of producer organizations entering the Fairtrade market between 2004 and 2007.
"Fairtrade is the best way to give small producers and workers in developing countries a real opportunity towards a better life, giving them a fair chance to produce and market their produce for the millions of consumers worldwide who have demonstrated with their wallets that they want to buy Fairtrade products," say Luuk. He will be handing over to Rob a highly professional organization with staff all over the world committed to supporting producers and workers in using Fairtrade's opportunities to develop their business and their communities.
Rob will take up his position at FLO no later than November 2007.
For more information please contact Veronica Perez at FLO International at email@example.com
Notes to Editors
- FLO unites national Fairtrade initiatives across Europe, Japan, Canada, USA, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand and producer networks representing Fairtrade Certified producer organizations in Central and Latin America, Africa and Asia. This independent consumer certification mark appears on products as a guarantee that disadvantaged producers are getting a better deal. Today, more than seven million people - farmers, workers and their families - across 59 developing countries benefit from the international Fairtrade system.
- In 2006, an estimated €1.6 billion worth of Fairtrade products were sold across the world, and the number of Fairtrade Certified organizations worldwide reached 598. FLO's Annual Report 2006-2007 will be released end July.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — One concussion was almost enough to convince Browns tight end Alex Smith to retire.
Smith returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time since sustaining a concussion in a Sept. 16 game against Cincinnati. Smith was briefly hospitalized after taking a blow to the head following a catch in the fourth quarter against the Bengals. Smith said the head injury forced him to contemplate quitting the game.

Road block, space eater, and run stuffer are all phrases used to describe the best two-gap defensive tackles in the NFL. All week at the Under Amour North-South Senior Bowl, they have been the terms used to describe B.J. Raji.
The 6'1″ 323 pound defensive from Boston College has been impressing coaches and scouts since day one of practice with his explosive get-off and quick steps.
As long as he doesn't end-up on his back all day during January 24ths Senior Bowl, Raji has done everything in his power to become a top-10 draft pick.
Practices at the Senior Bowl are equally as, if not more important, than the actual game. The North and South teams are coached by NFL coaching staffs. This year, Cincinnati is coaching the North, while Jacksonville is coaching the south.
The Bengals have the sixth pick in the draft, and it has been suspected that they may take Raji because of his disruptive demeanor on the field. The Senior Bowl is a great opportunity for players to increase their draft stock, by performing in front of NFL coaches and personnel.
In 2007, Patrick Willis used the game to impress then-49ers and Senior Bowl coach Mike Nolan, and was he was selected 11th overall in the draft.
In 2008, D-1AA quarterback Joe Flacco proved he could play with the big-boys, and elevated his draft status from the third Round to eventually being chosen as the 18th overall pick.
Accompanying Raji to the game is his Boston College linemate, 6'3″ 329 pound defensive tackle Ron Brace. Like Raji, Brace is impressing coaches despite having more negatives such as a sloppy build and average quickness.
Raji isn't perfect either; he is shorter than the prototype DT, so although he can get under blockers, it's harder from him to generate ideal power. On the other hand he is roughly the same size as the Patriots' disruptive force Vince Wilfork, and he has a very similar playing style.
He has a mean streak that he displayed in 2006 by punching a Central Michigan player. He also has a lazy streak displayed by his academic issues.
As a senior Raji recorded seven sacks, but his height limits his ability to deflect passes at the line of scrimmage. Despite non-ideal size, Raji is the only elite defensive tackle prospect in this year's draft.
Cincinnati is lacking d-line play and could land him at six, although that may be a reach. San Francisco could continue to sure-up their defense with the 10th pick. Many suspect Raji will land to Denver with the 12th pick, however.
If Raji falls below 12 don't be surprised to see a team trade-up to get him. Since losing Shaun Rogers the Lions have been lacking an inside presence. The Raiders, Jaguars, Packers, and Bills also had trouble stopping the run and could all benefit from Raji. If for some reason Raji slips, he won't go past the Colts at 27.

I finished my first quilt a few weeks ago and just looking at the finished product I named it The Thing. Ugly as sin would be its tag line. I learned a decent amount on the first sewing attempt and will learn a lot more as I continue to use it this summer. I have started working on designing its better sibling or replacement if at the end of the summer I decide to harvest the down out of it becuase The Thing is considered useless. Anyways, in the process of working on the new design I am thinking about materials. I made this first one out of the kelly green group buy fabric and that fabric is great as a liner but just not windproof enough for a shell.The two ideas I have are:Cuben liner, cuben baffles, m50 shellOr all m50My questions are:1. I have never worked with cuben, what is the general consensus on cuben against the skin?2. The point of cuben on the inside would be to have a vbl for sleeping. Any experience with vbl quilts in the temp range of mid 20's to mid 40's?3. What cuben would people recommend .34 oz or .51 oz? If .51 it really doesn't seem worth the added expense of cuben vs m50 unless I can really justify the vbl.
can I ask how the Thing is "useless"? I mean, who cares what it looks like, and unless you only stuffed every other baffle, or there is a huge hole in the middle, how could it be useless?
Personally, I wouldn't be able to handle cuben on my skin for any reason, especially sleeping gear. But that's just me. I've seen a good bit of full cuben quilts out there, so somebody has got to be using them. I do know that the .34 cuben gets quite soft after using it for a bit or a pass through the washing machine. I can't help you with any of your other questions though.
I don't care about form either in the woods, functionally speaking the quilt needs a hood to cover my head on colder nights, the foot box is only some velcro, I was trying something out and it didn't really work how I wanted it to, and the down doesn't stay in place. I karo stepped the quilt and I think with the amount of down I put in it the spacing is too far apart. The quilt isn't completely worthless but I am debating on taking it apart to salvage a little less than $90 in down and starting over. It wasn't a complete fail, I learned alot about what not to do on my next quilt.The fact that the .34 cuben softens up after some use isn't a bad thing, that might make it feel a little better against the skin. I really need to find out about the durability of the .34. I read on the zpacks website that a very brave and gentle person could make a tarp out of .34 oz cuben. I feel like if that statement could be made then it should handle the shell of a quilt.
I did some testing of CT0.3K.08 on a tensometer a few years ago and was shocked at how tough it is. A 1" wide strip required 11 pounds of force to snap in tension. I wouldn't hesitate to make a quilt out of it on the grounds of toughness. You could always check with Steve at Suluk46. He has had a CT0.3K.08 quilt for years now and should be able to give you quality insight as to its durability as a quilt liner.

I had the stroller for 3 years and I use it every time for my girls. So with having it for 3 years it was time to get new parts as it started to get really used up. We love the stroller! It is very helpful for me specially for my 3 year old special needs child. I don't know if I will ever see her walk but I wanted her to enjoy a chair she would use when we go out to the store. She really enjoys this stroller and I'm very happy with it.

A rolling string of acoustic guitar, authentic handclaps and tambourine shakes matches the never-ending energy of the outdoors that Stone holds so dearly.

Seeking the Kingdom: The Sermon on the Mount
For nearly 2000 years, the Sermon on the Mount has been the subject of endless discussion and controversy.
Authors Dockery and Garland bring puzzling portions of Jesus' message to light. They uncover important background information on Old Testament law, Jewish faith and culture and makes this monumental passage more easily understandable. What does it mean to be "the salt of the earth" in modern day? What are the real implications of going the "second mile"?
The Christian who wants to translate faith into vital lifestyle will find practical encouragement in these teachings of Jesus.

They say that people who eat breakfast are thinner. They say that crash diets don't work. They say weighing yourself daily will help you control your weight.
Before you apply all that wisdom to your weight loss efforts, ask Them to prove it.
A group of scientists has published an article in The New England Journal of Medicine demonstrating the absence of proof for many commonly-held beliefs about weight control, including the three above.
From the New York Times piece on the article, "here is an overview of the obesity myths looked at by the researchers and what is known to be true:"
Small things make a big difference. Walking a mile a day can lead to a loss of more than 50 pounds in five years.
Set a realistic goal to lose a modest amount.
People who are too ambitious will get frustrated and give up.
You have to be mentally ready to diet or you will never succeed.
Slow and steady is the way to lose. If you lose weight too fast you will lose less in the long run.
Ideas not yet proven TRUE OR FALSE
Diet and exercise habits in childhood set the stage for the rest of life.
Add lots of fruits and vegetables to your diet to lose weight or not gain as much.
Yo-yo diets lead to increased death rates.
People who snack gain weight and get fat.
If you add bike paths, jogging trails, sidewalks and parks, people will not be as fat.
Heredity is important but is not destiny.
Exercise helps with weight maintenance.
Weight loss is greater with programs that provide meals.
Some prescription drugs help with weight loss and maintenance.
Weight-loss surgery in appropriate patients can lead to long-term weight loss, less diabetes and a lower death rate.
Who to believe? It does not help that Madelyn Fernstrom, founding director of the University of Pittsburgh Weight Management Center, agreed with the New England Journal of Medicine authors that our beliefs about obesity are "spinning out of control" — and then went and told The Today Show that some of the identified myths are true.
Fernstrom said it is important to eat breakfast. "If you don't eat in the morning, you will be too hungry when you finally have a meal."
She also said that you should weigh yourself, "at least once a week," though once a day is also good.
Another example: Michelle Obama encourages people to be active; others say that exercise does not lead to weight loss.
Then there is the meta-confusion: should we even be worrying about obesity? While most of the country obsesses about our weight, there are voices saying that being fat isn't always unhealthy, and others saying it is the pressure to be skinny (which causes the obsessing) that is dangerous.
It's puzzling why the science in this area isn't better. With so many wealthy companies touting weight-loss products, there should be many sponsors willing to pay to prove that one or another technique is effective. Perhaps they prefer our confusion: while we keep guessing, we keep paying for diet companies, gyms, trainers, equipment and more. The weight-loss industry has grown fat on our dough and likes it that way.

Losing weight may not be easy for some whereas it may be a piece of cake for the others.Basically weight control is best done with the kind of diet you take.Eating right will always help you maintain a healthy weight and also keep at bay the various diseases linked to overeating.So eat right and to add to that a sufficient amount of exercise to maintain that healthy weight.
Those who are inactive may not be fat to look at, but they have little or no muscle tone and may have more fat than they realize. Those who look overweight have many factors to deal with, not the least of which is society telling them how and why they "need" to lose weight. Whole foods are important in maintaining my weight; lots of vegetables, fruits, and very little (if any) processed food (though I love sugar and must be very careful not to overindulge). Each of us is responsible for our own health, and each of us will probably have a slightly different way to achieve that goal. It's easy to give advice, not so easy to ask for help and then follow advice given.
thanks. i eat what I want (for the most prt) and just stay really active. I have never had weight issues
Thank you Piper, for Sharing this!
Prescription drugs, weight-loss surgery and "programs that provide meals" are all good things that have proven to be effective !?!?! Good thing the study also stated that "exercise helps", otherwise, I would have had big doubts as to who (or what corporations) have funded it!
In my case, as well as my son's, it's a genetic condition. And no, it wasn't because I was born to "obese parents". We have a deletion in part of our genetic code, and that causes us to have problems with weight, and also gives us a heightened appetite. This is what we are dealing with, and the income isn't high enough to swap out enough starch & protein for veggies.
I've been involved with yoga on and off for much of my life! I am also a vegetarian and contrary to most people's impression of vegetarianism is that we should all be quite thin. I was until my son and I lost our dream home to toxic mold and became chronically ill. One of the side affects has been no hunger pangs. Thus, I have to strategize daily how to get myself to eat during the day to circumvent my body from going into self starvation. I was a size 6 when we emerged from my former home and I am in a size 14 jean to accomodate my gut (wheat or whatever). I am learning what to cut out of my diet (in today's times), proportion control as when I begin eating than I feel the hunger and many more ideas I've learned here on Care2. I do feel that a combination of eating right and excercise is the best way to go!! Don't you?
It's largely dietary, according to the most recent research. Portion control. Limit the sugars/carbs in your diet. Everything in moderation.

Celebrities pick their favorite movies for TCM
Turner Classic Movies has asked several well-known celebrities to pick their favorite movies, which will be shown every night throughout November, and I have to say I'm very impressed with their picks.
Some of the choices fit the celeb. For example, Martha Stewart picked Enchanted April, Madame Bovary, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, and Anna Karenina, which you can imagine Martha watching at home, a bowl of popcorn in her lap (and critiquing the job Mr. Blandings did), and James Ellroy's picks (Stakeout On Dope Street, The Lineup, Armored Car Robbery, and Murder By Contract) stay along the lines of his noir/mystery background. But a few picks are interesting. Access Hollywood co-host Maria Menounos picked the 1932 cult classic Freaks, and Food Network icon Alton Brown picked the Lee Marvin classic Point Blank. As for non-human celebs, Kermit The Frog picked Singin' in the Rain and The Band Wagon.

Marijuana Legalization: Should Airplane Pilots be Allowed to Smoke?
Category: Culture | Posted on Wed, May, 1st 2013 by THCFinder
As marijuana legalization becomes more mainstream and goes from protests to policy, decision-makers will have to figure out how and what to regulate in this burgeoning industry. Brian Milam is one of the first individuals to have a run-in with unclear marijuana laws: he was fired from his job as a pilot at Horizon Air in 2011 for failing a drug test.
The central issue should be whether or not Milam was fit to operate a plane when he failed the drug test. When marijuana is legal, how will we determine safe amounts that do not "impair judgment?" The Seattle Pi reports that Milam failed the drug test after flying a safe round trip flight from Seattle, Washington, to Redmond, Oregon. Here, we see a paradox: he piloted a plane safely for approximately two hours, claims he "never used marijuana while on duty and refrained from smoking the night before an early shift," yet he failed his test. Would he have been fired had marijuana been legal?
Firstly, let's look at science. The active ingredient that most drug tests screen for, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), exits the body slowly than other substances, such as alcohol or caffeine. For habitual drug users, a standard drug test can pick up traces of THC for days or even weeks after past use. A habitual user, like Milam (he claimed to use medical marijuana for back pain one to three times per week) could fail a drug test long after the effects of the marijuana, or the "high," had worn off. As marijuana becomes legal in more states and, eventually, at the federal level, drug screenings should be read with this in mind, not exactly like an alcohol screening.

25 percent marijuana tax clears Colorado House
Category: Legalization | Posted on Wed, May, 1st 2013 by THCFinder
DENVER (AP) -- Recreational pot taxes above 25 percent have won final approval in the House and await action in the Senate.
The tax vote was a party-line 37-27 without debate Tuesday. The taxes would be a 15 percent excise tax, with the money used for school construction, and a new 10 marijuana sales tax, to pay for regulation and enforcement. Those would be in addition to a statewide 2.9 percent sales tax and any local sales taxes.
Republicans say that the pot tax rate may be too high, and voters may reject the taxes on ballots this fall. Democrats argue that Coloradans want marijuana taxed steeply, and that the high tax rate is in line with other sin taxes such as tobacco taxes and gaming taxes.
Retail pot sales begin in January.

Which shouldn't come as too much o...

San Francisco-based composer and Stanford University PhD candidate Holly Herndon made some major waves in the electronic music community late last year with her stunning debut album, Movement, a record that explored the depths of experimental electronics, vocal processing, and rich ambient textures with the occasional excursion taken into the darker corners of the dancefloor. Appearing on RVNG Intl, Herndon's seven-track effort proved to be one of the most unique and unexpected debuts of recent memory, a fact that has many of us waiting with bated breath to see where 2013 takes this fearless sonic adventurer.
Sum up 2012 in three words.
Open. Hello world.
There's been a lot written about you lately… tell us one thing about yourself that the press has missed.
Just because something is engineered or considered does not mean that it is not emotional or heartfelt. I'm trying to question the cold-technology/warm-feeling false binary and yet often get lumped into the former!
Besides you, who else should we keep an eye on this year?
The Bay Area is undergoing a much-needed resurgence. There is a growing scene of young producers who are fresh and excited to be here—Austin Cesear, Oliver Vereker, Russell Butler, Group Rhoda, No World, Madalyn Merkey, Brandon Nickell. Joshua Kit Clayton started playing again with Brian from C.L.A.W.S, which is exciting. Keep an eye on the Bay!
Any predictions for 2013, music or otherwise?
Perhaps I'm biased, but I think there is going to be a lot more complex processing, granular abstractions, and abstract sound palettes. Max for Live coming with the Ableton 9 package is going to be very interesting. Gender blurring. A resurgence in American minimalism. Hip-hop looks like it is going to get weirder and more disjointed, and the abstract noise graduates are going to get more tonal and bombast.
What's next for you release-wise, and what should we look forward to in the future?
I hope to release a single in the next couple of months and a collaboration in the summer. Then I will be busy working on my next album. I'm also continuing my collaboration with Reza Negarestani and Mathew Dryhurst, which I am really excited about. Lots of shows and a qualifying exam covering 500 years of music!

CANTON Northern Lights, a partnership of four health-care organizations in St. Lawrence County, hopes to start operating its certified home health agency in the summer.
We are going through the process of formally incorporating as an organization with the state, said Brian D. Gardam, interim chairman of the Northern Lights board. Were moving ahead, but not as fast as wed like.
Northern Lights is a partnership of Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Potsdam; Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, Ogdensburg; United Helpers Management Co. and Hospice and Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley. Mr. Gardam is the executive director of Hospice.
The new company was issued a certificate of need last year by the state Department of Health to operate a CHHA in St. Lawrence County. Two other agencies also have filed applications with the state to operate CHHAs in the county.
The potential influx of competition led to the decision of the county to close its own CHHA, which is in the process of winding down. The county also is served by Health Services of Northern New York, an affiliate of the Hamister Group.
It probably will be summer before Northern Lights starts seeing patients, Mr. Gardam said.
We might hire some of the leadership before that, he said.
The number of staff is uncertain and will depend on patient load.
We may be contracting for some staff, Mr. Gardam said.
Northern Lights will lease space for its Canton offices from United Helpers in the former Main Street Community Bank building, which it bought last year.

Cowboys rally behind Romo after late-game gaffe
SCHUYLER DIXON // AP Sports Writer
IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Cowboys are rallying around Tony Romo after another late-game mistake, his interception that spoiled the first 500-yard game in Dallas history.
Defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin gave an unsolicited defense of the quarterback after Dallas lost to Denver and Peyton Manning 51-48 when Danny Trevathan intercepted a pass in the final 2 minutes to put the Broncos in position for the winning field goal.
Kiffin and linebacker Sean Lee both said to put the loss "on me" after Romo threw for 506 yards and five touchdowns.
The Cowboys are playing Washington on Sunday night.
They lost a winner-take-all finale to the Redskins last season, with Romo throwing an interception when he had a chance to lead a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter.

Abortion regulations added to special session lineup
AUSTIN — Coming off the heels of a regular session in which anti-abortion bills went nowhere, Gov. Rick Perry added abortion regulations to a list of topics for lawmakers to consider in the special session.
The announcement came less than a day after Perry added transportation to "the call," as the list of topics eligible for consideration is known.
"The horrors of the national late-term abortion industry are continuing to come to light, one atrocity at a time. Sadly, some of those same atrocities happen in our own state. In Texas, we value all life, and we've worked to cultivate a culture that supports the birth of every child," Perry said Tuesday in a statement.
Lawmakers have filed several bills related to abortion.
House Bill 16 from Rep. Jodie Laubenberg, R-Parker, would ban abortion after 20 weeks of gestation on the premise that an unborn child feels pain after 20 weeks. Perry heavily supported that concept, but the bill did not make it to the House floor during the regular session.
Senate Bill 18 from Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, would require more regulation for taking abortion-inducing drugs. Critics have said they impose an undue hardship on low-income women seeking an abortion. Abortion clinics would need "admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles," Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst noted in a statement.
SB 24 from Sen. Robert Deuell, R-Greenville, would raise the level of abortion clinic standards to that of an ambulatory surgical center. Abortion providers have testified that the expenses would put them out of business.
"We are grateful to Gov. Rick Perry for adding protection of mothers and unborn babies to the issues considered in the special session," Joe Pojman, the executive director of Texas Alliance for Life, said in a statement. "We believe the recent allegations against Houston abortion physician Douglas Karpen, along with conviction of Kermit Gosnell, highlight the need for pro-life legislation to be passed quickly."
Pojman's group has been cautious regarding the "pre-born pain act" based on possible constitutional challenges to the law, but it supports a conglomerate bill — SB 5 from Sen. Glenn Hegar, R-Katy.
A release from Texas Alliance for Life states that SB 5 would increase safety standards, require abortion-inducing drugs be taken in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines, "require physicians who perform abortions to be qualified to treat life-threatening complications after botched abortions, and ... Protect unborn children who can feel pain from the horror of abortion."
"It's terrible news for Texas women," said Heather Busby, the executive director for NARAL Pro-Choice Texas.
The special session lets lawmakers further the abortion bills more freely. Rules in the Senate operate in such a way that it requires a two-thirds vote in the regular session merely to get a bill on the floor. That rule is generally gone in the special session, opening the door for bills such as Deuell's that lacked only a few votes to make it to the floor.
"Basically, they're ramming it through," Busby said. In the regular session, she said, "Moderate lawmakers were not interested in having that ugly fight to regulate women's bodies."

Please tell me that there is not another Navy-themed television show in the works! Not if it is described as Melrose Place meets aquaflage. I have studiously avoided any discussion of the Andre Braugher / Scott Speedman show Last Resort. I was starting to frustrate friends who sat through it with me. They would say: NavyOne- it is a TV show. TELEVISION. It is not real. Guess the title of the latest Navy drama? Norfolk. You got it. Norfolk. God save us.

You mean Gene Hackman having a dog on board the sub in Crimson Tide wasn't for real? Damn! I'm call ASPCA and lodging a discrimination complaint against animals discrimination.
There is a fictional TV series on over here at the moment, which centres itself around a fictional army regiment based in a typical garrison town. The trials and tribulations of army life involving the emotions of families pre/post afghanistan.
It is a load of old cobblers!
I caught a few minutes of it when I was making a pot of tea, it was so bad that I thought it was a comedy. The military advisors must have served with 'Montgomery' and the desert rats?
It finished it for me when I saw 'actors' wearing berets with their ears tucked inside the headband, while one of them was marching 'spotty dog' style (left arm swinging in line with his left leg & vice versa his right).
I nearly choked and spat a mouth full of tea over poor Joss.
Ho Hum…
Yours Aye
I think we have something like that here, Ex-Bootneck called 'Army Wives'…I never saw it because I assumed, perhaps incorrectly (but I don't think so) it was complete nonsense based on the fictional lives of 'army wives'….what could be more soap opera and fictional? Well, I heard, only anecdotally, of course, how popular it was…I don't watch such garbage….and besides, reality programming, another ridiculous fact of life, sucks (sorry for the terminology) in stereo….so I'm off to Turner Classics and other classic programming…there's nothing like the real standbys…I don't normally go to see new movies but if I am interested, I'll wait until they show up on TV…it's bound to happen with Blue Ray & DVD on cable and satellite programming…all you have to do is wait and it shows up…at most a year, if that…we sadly live in a world where we get what we want, when we want it, two weeks ago…and if we don't we're on to something else…such is human nature….so I guess what I'm getting at is we live in a culture that becomes too easily bored, that loses interest in life as it happens and searches for meaning on the fly….k
Hahah, JAG….well, I did like the NCIS spinoff but that was about it…and did watch her in that….k
