Primavera Buys Tool Vendors for Portfolio and Risk Management
Analyst(s): Matt Light | Daniel B. Stang
Free preview of Gartner research
ProSight's extensive portfolio management system will bolster Primavera's presence in public sector IT and other target markets, while Pertmaster has long integrated its risk analysis tools with Primavera solutions.
Table of Contents
News Analysis
On 12 December 2006, Primavera announced it has acquired two companies: ProSight, whose software helps companies analyze and prioritize project and portfolio investments, and Pertmaster, which focuses on risk analysis and mitigation. Terms of the two deals were not disclosed.
Primavera has a history of building out its software products and acquiring technology to meet its customers' demands. Since the company received an influx of $150 million to $200 million in investment capital in April 2006, Gartner has expected Primavera to acquire related products. These latest acquisitions reflect the same style and tactics used by Primavera prior to the capital influx, serving to confirm continuity in Primavera's management and approach. We expect Primavera will make further acquisitions beyond ProSight and Pertmaster.
ProSight supports project portfolio analysis, prioritization, application portfolio rationalization, IT asset inventory and other portfolio management styles. The acquired product will be marketed as Primavera ProSight, a separate product that can be integrated with other Primavera tools or used as a standalone tool. The company ProSight was built from leveraging a substantial amount of process consulting in system implementations. ProSight tools ship with content supporting different portfolio methodologies, training materials, "quick start" deployment models and algorithms for "what if" scenario planning at the business level.
The acquisition of ProSight could re-invigorate Primavera's portfolio management offering, but Primavera will be challenged to retain and grow the consultative services needed to support ProSight sales, which are different kinds of services than those presently offered by Primavera or its resellers. Primavera will also have to respond to aggressive pricing from Microsoft with its newly acquired Portfolio Server offering.
Driving the acquisition is ProSight's focus on government and public sector business opportunities, where Primavera is closely watching its competition in project and portfolio management (PPM), including IT-oriented PPM. Beyond its core legacy in engineering/construction, utility and aerospace/defense PPM, Primavera has seen its competitors make significant headway in corporate IT, and has itself sought growth in IT in both public sector and financial services verticals. ProSight's recently acquired government customers — including the U.S. Department of Defense and Army Internal Command — as well as its sales activity in state governments and their agencies, and in higher education/nonprofit organizations, made the vendor more attractive to Primavera.
Pertmaster, little known in corporate IT departments, is an established partner of Primavera, and principally active in the oil and gas industry, as well as aerospace and defense and other large government projects. Pertmaster Project Risk and Risk Expert are used to assess and mitigate cost estimate risks, often in integration with Primavera and other project management solutions.
Primavera customers and prospects: Consider these acquisitions as a sign of Primavera's vigor. Evaluate whether ProSight and Pertmaster tools will complement your current Primavera solutions.
ProSight customers: Confirm your service and support contracts with Primavera. The acquisition should mitigate some concerns regarding the risk posed by ProSight's relatively small size (as measured by annual revenue) or by Microsoft's acquisition of rival UMT's portfolio analysis technology.
ProSight and Pertmaster customers who have also used other project management tools (such as Microsoft's Enterprise Project Management 2003): In the near term, expect little change. However, those looking toward Microsoft Enterprise Project Management 2007 in the medium to long term may obtain superior integration through Primavera's PPM products.

Before I knew of Alyson's pregnancy, I thought Lily would be pregnant at the point where Barney's brother gets married. I can't remember the exact quote, but Lily answered with you make me feel fat. I'm sure it's not like the typical reaction for pregnancies (I wouldn't know) but I thought it hinted that she was. It's that episode about couples wanting to go home before 9pm. I'm rambling, someone help me out? XD

Congrats to Alyson and Alexis! It's nice to see a couple in Hollywood who has been together this long and has waited awhile to have children. I hope they write her pregnancy into How I Met your Mother. I really hope Barack Obama comes back on SNL! The last time he was on was a year ago during that Halloween party sketch and I thought he was pretty funny. If you guys read more carefully, Obama is supposed to be on NOVEMBER 1 not this weekend, so he may still be in Hawaii. He hasn't been on SNL in awhile and it would be nice for him to make an appearance before the election.

CONGRATS to allison - she's adorable and i think that it'll be great for her to have a baby! that's interesting about Clooney - i guess he's one of those guys that you wouldn't mind going back to even after you break up. i know that i would love to. i wonder if he talked to krista while he was with sarah and that's part of what broke them up... Sumner - isn't he one of the studio heads that Tom Cruise just got back on the 'ins' with? good luck with that settlement! wow - honestly - more people are going to the hospital from this season's DWTS than ever before. i hope that julianna is doing ok though...that has to be scary. i would be surprised if barak was on SNL this week. with everything that's going on with his family this week, i would imagine that he'd still be in HI poor josh - see what happens when you're doing less than kosher things? i wonder why he was raided this week..that's NOT good

US: Police in California are looking for a man who reportedly walked into a California mosque saying he had a gun and threatened to kill everyone, a spokeswoman said Friday.
The man entered the Ibrahim Khalilullah Islamic Center in Fremont, south of San Francisco, during afternoon prayer Wednesday, said mosque leaders, urging official action to track down the man.
According to witnesses, a "white male in his thirties entered the IKI Center Mosque during prayer, and shouted that he had a gun and wanted to kill everyone. When confronted, the male left," said a police spokeswoman.
"We are a little worried because of the situation that happened in Oregon," said Fareed Wardak, a member of the center's board of directors, referring to a shooting in the western US state that left three dead on Tuesday.
"We don't want the same thing to happen," he told KTVU television, in comments made before Friday's shooting at an elementary school in the eastern state of Connecticut that killed 20 children and six adults.
The man left without taking out a gun. Fremont Police Department spokeswoman Geneva Bosques told AFP: "He never displayed a gun, kept his hands in his pockets. We are following up in an attempt to look at video surveillance."
The man possibly drove a 1990s gray Toyota Camry, and officers will be carrying out extra patrols looking for anything suspicious, KTVU reported.
"We do have surveillance cameras. We'll be getting pictures out of that system," said Wardak, adding: "We're not sure what kind of person" the man was.
"It's Christmas, people are going back and forth," said Mohammed Zarabi, president of the board of directors. "Maybe he needs some money. I can't say what his intention was. I just hope it doesn't happen again."
The center has some 500 members, mostly of Afghan descent, and has been in the city for two decades.
This week's shootings in Oregon and Connecticut have revived the perennial debate about gun control in the United States, a country that regularly has to cope with such apparently random killings.
Friday's massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut was the second deadliest US school shooting, after the 2007 campus shootings at Virginia Tech University, which left 32 dead.

Reflective green mile markers like those along highways have been set out along a scenic waterway in Allen Parish to help rescuers find lost or injured boaters.
There are 16 of the markers on the 8.5-mile stretch of the Ouiska Chitto, also called the Whiskey Chitto. They start at the Ouiska Chitto bridge just west of Oberlin and end at North Carpenter's bridge.
Allen Parish District 3 Fire Chief Les Kolb says last year, the district answered calls there about a broken neck, five broken legs and several missing people, including a family who got lost after dark.
He says some rescues took too long. Kolb says the mile markers and new maps should help.

Health officials have linked a hepatitis A outbreak back to a former worker at O'Charley's restaurant.
Officials say the worker most likely contracted the virus out of state.
At this time, only three people have been linked to the outbreak, but not from eating at the restaurant.
Never the less, for the next week anyone who ate at the O'Charley's on Richmond road is being asked to monitor their health.
Officials say, that symptoms of the disease could occur at anytime.
Symptoms of the disease include diarrhea, flu symptoms, and even in the most serious cases jaundice.
People who already have existing health problems, and the elderly should be especially on high alert.
In order to help your body fight through the illness doctor's recommend drinking lots of fluids, like Gatorade, and washing your hands to keep from spreading the disease to others.
Health officials are working with O'Charley's to make sure the restaurant is safe for people who are eating there.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Navy has its first female four-star admiral.
She is Michelle Janine Howard, promoted on Tuesday to the service's highest rank. The ceremony was held at the Women in Military Service for America Memorial at the Arlington National Cemetery, near the Pentagon.
She will serve as the vice chief of naval operations, which makes her the No. 2 admiral in the Navy behind Adm. Jonathan Greenert, the chief of naval operations.
Howard has served 32 years in the Navy. She is a 1978 graduate of Gateway High School in Aurora, Colorado. She graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1982.
Among her many distinctions, Howard in 1999 became the first African-American woman to command a Navy ship.

ComputerWorld has a FAQ to why an open-source Java would be good for software development. Considering Java is considered the most popular programming language among developers such a move by Sun would be welcomed news.
What's the big deal? Isn't the source code for Java already available? Yes, the source code for Java has been available for years via the SCSL and JRL license programs, but a true open-source release would make it possible for developers to innovate more freely with Java, with less involvement from Sun and fewer licensing restrictions on distribution. Sun, while making periodic noises about the possibility of open-sourcing Java, has resisted this move, until now. More at ComputerWorld.com
By the way, open-source fans may be interested to hear that PHP is ranked the fourth most popular programming language (with C and C++ ranked second and third). See the TIOBE Programming Community Index for additional listings of program languages ranked by popularity.Back to top

New Zealand has been in a strong west to southwest flow for a few days now. This weather regime looks as though it will continue for the next few days.
There are reasons why the weather gets into regimes like this. It has to do with what meteorologists call the "long waves".
The map below is one way of depicting what the weather pattern about half-way up the troposphere (the troposphere is that part of the atmosphere in which the weather occurs) looked like at midday Thursday 16 September 2010 New Zealand Standard Time, just before the westerlies broke out across the country. In this pattern, there's nothing that looks like a high, or low, or front. But there is a bunch of wavy lines … which look kind of regular, but not quite.
Now what if those waves could be separated out into longer ones and shorter ones, so we could see what was going on "under the bonnet"? There happens to be a way of doing exactly this; it's called Fourier analysis. (Here we stand on the brink of numerical weather prediction, but we'll go there some other time).
The picture below is made from a Fourier analysis of the pattern 12 hours further on from the one shown above. It reveals that, in New Zealand's latitudes, it's dominated by a wave which has three troughs (blue) and three ridges (pink) wrapped around the hemisphere. Most important to us is the big area of blue shading – a trough – near New Zealand.
The animation below shows how this trough in the three-wave pattern edges only slowly onto New Zealand during the few days following Thursday 16 September 2010. "Wave three", as it's often called by meteorologists, is one of the long waves. It tends to move only slowly – which is why, once it's gathered a bit of energy, it can influence the weather over a period of days.
We live on the Earth's surface, at or near the bottom of the troposphere. Down on the Earth's surface, the isobar maps of the last few days (see animation below) have a certain sameness – they all show
- Tightly packed west to southwest isobars over New Zealand, which is why the wind has been more or less from the same direction
- Fronts whizzing across the country, which is one of the reasons why showers have come and gone, and the wind shifted around a bit in direction, and gone up and down a bit in strength.

|Molecular pathology of natriuretic peptides in the myocardium with special regard to fatal intoxication, hypothermia, and hyperthermia.
MedLine Citation:

|The present study investigated the molecular pathology of atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) in the myocardium to evaluate terminal cardiac function in routine forensic casework with particular regard to fatal drug intoxication (n = 18; sedative-hypnotics, n = 10; methamphetamine, n = 8), hypothermia (cold exposure, n = 13), and hyperthermia (heatstroke, n = 10), compared with that in acute ischemic heart disease (AIHD, n = 35) and congestive heart disease (CHD, n = 11) as controls (total n = 87; within 48 h postmortem). Quantitative analyses of myocardial ANP and BNP messenger RNA demonstrated that their expressions in bilateral atrial and ventricular walls were high in methamphetamine intoxication and hypothermia, comparable to those in AIHD and CHD, but were low in sedative-hypnotic intoxication and hyperthermia. In pericardial fluid, both ANP and BNP levels were increased in hypothermia, while CHD cases had an elevated BNP level, and ANP level showed a tendency to increase in hyperthermia; however, immunohistochemistry showed no evident differences in myocardial ANP and BNP among the causes of death. These findings suggest terminal high cardiac strain in methamphetamine intoxication, decreased cardiac strain in sedative-hypnotic intoxication and hyperthermia (heatstroke), and persistent congestion in hypothermia (cold exposure).

Maria Brink
In This Moment singer Maria Brink rocks, spits, screams, and sweats. Meet the new face of metal.
A couple of years after moving from Albany, New York, to Los Angeles, In This Moment frontwoman Maria Brink almost gave up on her dream. It was mid-2004 and she was living alone, had no friends, hated her day job, and none of the groups she called to audition for would call her back. But instead of following her judgment, packing up her car and heading back east, the singer drove to a local tattoo shop and had the words "We Will" inked on the underside of her left wrist and "Overcome" on her right one. The phrase, once the slogan for the civil rights movement, became a mission statement for the tenacious singer. "Another time when I was down and frustrated, I had the word 'Believe' tattooed over my knuckles, which was the most painful thing ever," she says from the table of a cozy coffee shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, between sips of a soy latte. "I did it for the same reason; to give myself motivation. It's visually in front of me all the time, pushing me on."For Brink, a self-admitted romantic and fan of The Secret, "belief" isn't a marketing slogan to spit out between royalty checks. It's a means of survival, a force that has sustained her through childhood abuse, teenage pregnancy, severe depression, and frustrations as a musician. It has also given her the strength to persevere.
Today, after a half-decade of pavement pounding, she's one of the most charismatic and endearing singers in heavy metal and the primary reason for her band's success. In This Moment's debut, Beautiful Tragedy, came out in 2007, and the title track peaked at number three on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. The band was one of the highlights on last year's Ozzfest, and the Osbournes were so impressed they invited In This Moment to join Ozzy's winter tour, which ended in early 2008 with a string of dates in Japan and China. "The shows over there were amazing, but the food was so crazy," says Brink with characteristic fervor. "In China, I had a bowl of soup that I thought was going to have an arm floating in it. We went to a restaurant where they served raw horse—and I'm a vegetarian. But it's a different culture, and you gotta accept it I guess. I mean, they probably think the stuff we eat is weird."Sitting across the table from Brink, it's easy to see how she has charmed everyone from Sharon Osbourne to her current boyfriend, DevilDriver bassist Jonathan Miller, who recently moved with her back to Albany to live with her son and mom. Spirited, quirky, and spontaneous, Brink is also a mass of contradictions. Today, she wears a pink knit sweater and a purple daisy in her hair, and carries a frumpy handbag that makes her look more like a Phish fan than a metalhead. But the full-sleeve of tattoos on her right arm and the tattoos of sad children with bleeding eyes (from a Mark Ryden painting) reveal a darker side. Onstage, she often wears an ornate flowing dress with a studded wristband, carrying herself with the grace of her hero Sarah McLachlan one minute and banging her head like another of her inspirations, Pantera's Phil Anselmo, the next. Her singing encapsulates both of these influences. Throughout Beautiful Tragedy, Brink whispers, coos, groans, shouts, and growls, expressing a range of emotion from tender vulnerability to raw-throated rage. Her schizophrenic style complements the band's music, which combines elements of thrash, numetal, and anthemic rock. As seamless and natural as the amalgam sounds, it was achieved only after hours of begrudging compromise between Brink and chief songwriter and guitarist Chris Howorth.
"Me and Chris are so brutal and we fight so bad we sometimes want to kill each other," Brink says, hands clasped like a child in prayer. "We're both Sagittarius and we're really stubborn. He's the metal crazy dude, and I love all the heavy stuff, but I also love U2, Ani DiFranco, and Death Cab for Cutie. So when we write, there's some intense, psycho shit going down with all this yelling and throwing things. And, neither of us get what we originally wanted. But in the end, that's what makes our music different."The only child of a hippie mom who raised her on Black Sabbath, Patti Smith, and Rolling Stones, Brink first showed an interest in performing at age 5, when she would recruit local kids from her trailer park to act in versions of Annie and The Wizard of Oz. But that was the end of the "good times." Her father bailed on the family, she was sexually abused "a few times," and her mother became heavily addicted to drugs. In response, Brink became surly and rebellious, severely depressed, even suicidal. Then, at 15, she became pregnant with her son, Davion.
"Getting pregnant gave my life a whole new meaning," she declares. "There was suddenly this bright light where there had only been darkness. I really think my son saved my life. I couldn't feel sorry for myself anymore because I had to take care of this baby."Brink moved out of her mom's place and got her own apartment. She worked in a laundromat to pay the rent and was too occupied with raising a child to think about her career. Then, when Davion got older, Brink was consumed with her mom's ever-worsening drug habit. Eventually, Brink was forced to check her mom into rehab. However, as with most of her past traumas, the singer looks back at the ordeal as a learning experience, and her mother's struggle with drugs (which she's since kicked) as her motivation not to use.
When her mom had finally detoxed, Brink suddenly had more time to worry about herself. She went into therapy, then embarked on a motivational book and video kick that helped boost her confidence and gave her the strength to follow her dreams. She turned 18, decided she wanted to be a singer, and formed a band called Pulse with some musicians in Albany. The group opened local shows for Coal Chamber and Sevendust, then broke up. Convinced she would have better luck in Los Angeles, she packed up her belongings in a UHaul, towed her car behind her, and spent four days driving to Los Angeles. "I was terrifi ed, but at the same time, it was liberating," she says of the 2002 pilgrimage. "I got there on the Fourth of July, and there were all these fi reworks going off, which was amazing. And then suddenly I was like, 'Okay, what the hell do I do now?'"
For six weeks, Brink crashed at the homes of various people she met before getting her own apartment. Then she flew out her son, who had been in Albany with her mom. To support the family, Brink worked in clothing stores on Melrose, walked dogs, and tended bar, all the while searching for a band. Unable to find one, she tried to teach herself keyboard and sang at coffee shops and upstairs for free at the Rainbow, but nobody seemed too impressed. Rejection seemed to be following her like a stalker. Even her current bandmate Howorth, who first met her in 2004, wouldn't audition her because she was a woman. Refusing to be dismissed so easily, Brink snuck into one of his jam sessions two weeks later, grabbed the mic, and started to sing a cappella.
"The second I started letting it out, he looked at me like, 'Oh, my God,' and immediately apologized for underestimating or stereotyping me," Brink says. "That felt so good."
The two formed the hard rock band Dying Star with drummer Jeff Fabb, but Howorth's heart wasn't in it, and after just two gigs he quit to focus on another project. "He just called me up and said, 'I don't think I can work with you anymore,'" recalls Brink with a hint of resentment in her tone. "And I said, 'No way. I can't take that for an answer. I don't have a band. I've been here for years. We have to try this.' And he said, 'Okay, well then let's do something completely new.'"
Embracing his metal roots and her whisper-to-a-scream dynamics, Howorth and Brink quickly wrote six songs that capitalized on their individual strengths, then brought in Fabb, guitarist Blake Bunzel, and bassist Josh Newell to record the band's first demo. But before they got a chance to start touring, Newell left the band. "He didn't want to give up everything as far as finances go," Brink recalls. "He wanted to keep his apartment. You can't pay bills if you go on the road. You have to basically throw everything into the wind."
In This Moment quickly replaced Newell with Jesse Landry, then piled in a van and toured the country with just their MySpace site to promote them. "We'd book our own shows anywhere we could get them," says Brink. "We'd end up driving eight hours to get $50 and play in front of one person and a bartender. One time we broke down by the side of the road and didn't have enough money to get the van fixed."
Undaunted, In This Moment kept touring and gradually created a buzz. They received an email from Ozzy Osbourne bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson, who offered to manage them. At first, they thought a friend was playing a joke, but Blasko was persistent, so they wrote him back and scheduled an impromptu showcase at the apartment where they used to jam. Though the performance was rusty, Blasko signed on, and with his name behind them, In This Moment suddenly had more leverage. After fielding several label offers, they eventually signed with indie metal powerhouse Century Media, which achieved success with Lacuna Coil, whose contrast between celestial pop and crashing metal is vaguely similar to that of In This Moment.
The band spent 18 months writing and fi ne-tuning Beautiful Tragedy before entering the studio with producer Eric Rachel (Atreyu, God Forbid), who worked with them to create an album heavy enough for diehard metal fans, but melodic enough to appeal to those who favor groups like Evanescence and Linkin Park. The band's first two singles, the piledriving "Prayers" and the metalcore-thrash attack "Daddy's Falling Angel," were well received. But it was the softer, more dynamic title track, with its blatant hooks and pretty, yearning vocal harmonies that broke In This Moment into the mainstream.
"I always knew that was a special song," Brink says. "When I fi rst heard them play that at practice it gave me goosebumps, without having lyrics or anything." Brink originally wrote lyrics about feeling betrayed by a boyfriend who cheated on her, but then she decided to make the song more about how things are often taken for granted until they're lost. "I kept thinking of these funerals where there are family members who haven't talked to each other for years," Brink says. "And then, when they lose someone, suddenly everyone loves each other. Sometimes, something dark brings out something beautiful."
Since Brink draws from her past tragedies in her lyrics, including being abandoned by her father ("Daddy's Falling Angel") and the death of her best friend ("Legacy of Odio"), the band's music tends to attract listeners who have suffered similar ordeals. Rather than being content to know her words are helping to soothe and heal, Brink takes an active role with her fans, talking to them after shows and carrying around the numbers of crisis hotlines to hand out to those in need.
"Sometimes, teenagers who are going through a hard time just need to know that people like me care and that they're not alone," Brink explains, adding that she plans to help set up a center for abused children when she's in the position to do so.
For now it will have to wait. In this particular moment, Brink and her bandmates are preoccupied with the follow-up to Beautiful Tragedy, which she and Howorth started writing in the back of their bus while on tour last August. The band is currently fi ne-tuning the songs before they enter the studio later this year with a yet-to-be-determined producer. Brink says the record will be even more atmospheric and melodic than the band's debut without abandoning its core heaviness. And once the album is done, In This Moment will head right back out on the road so they don't lose any momentum.
For now, Brink is thrilled to be building the band one single at a time, however she'd eventually like to expand her role to other areas of the entertainment business, getting into acting, displaying her paintings in a gallery, maybe even owning her own label. And whenever she has doubts about her future, she remembers everything she has overcome to get to where she is today. Then, if she still needs reassurance, she looks at the words inked on her fingers.
"If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you have to focus on the positive and believe in the good energy," she says, sounding more like the hippie girl with the fl ower in her hair. "The more you believe something's going to happen and the more you visualize it and work toward it, the more things will go your way."

Your Harlem Lifestyle Destination Since 2006
Aisha Diallo, co-owner of La Perle Noire Café expresses her pride for the new Governor
This week Harlem has had two big topics to talk about. Most recently former Lt. Governor David Paterson, a "favorite son of Harlem", ascended to the post of Governor of New York State following a scandal that rocked the State Capitol. Second, the heavily contentious re-zoning proposal of 125th Street was passed by the City Planning commission.
Paterson for Governor:
Many in Harlem are proud of Gov. Paterson's new and historic appointment, despite the circumstances that put him there. [NYT]
Did you know that Gov. Paterson has roots in the Carribean and even Ireland? [CarribeanWorldNews]
New York State's First Lady has a history of working hard for quality, accessible healthcare and education.[NYNewsday]
Environmental blog Gristmill examines Gov. Paterson's historical stance on environmental issues.[Gristmill]
Let the Re-zoning begin:
It goes without saying the voting process did not go over smoothly. Amanda Burden, Planning Commision Chairwoman, had to call security to calm the protesting crowds. [NYObs]
The "River to-River" project is being boasted as a 'milestone' accompanied with several environmental concerns. [ColSpect]
The re-zoning proposal now goes before City Council. What's the word on the street? [NYDailyNews]
Photo credit: Todd Heisler/The New York Times
The Mayor? The Mayor? Of what City? The Mayor owns a townhouse on the upper east side. He does not live in a rent stabilized apartment.
As for 125th rezoning – I hate it when people's real racists beliefs come out. Michael Henry Adams is crazy. Always has been always will be – no matter what books he publishes. No matter what your opinion this is a class – NOT race issue.
This rezoning will bring in more jobs and opportunities for the community.
And people are concerned with hieght limits? What do you call the 25 story projects sitting nearby – give me a break.
My family has lived in harlem for 25 years. This is good people – wake up!
#3 – Sounds like conflict of interest to me.
I think it's great that the Governor lives in a rent stabilized Apt at Lenox Terrace in Harlem, always has. Hence when the landlord lobby tries to deconstruct rent contol and rent stabilization laws in NY, we know our Governor is a benefactor of the system, and should protect it.
Spell check alert:
David Paterson

It had been almost two months since the girls basketball teams from Smyrna and Sussex Central met, but the Eagles didn't forget what happened.
"It was motivation, because they beat us last time," Smyrna senior Taylor Price said. "They really beat us. Actually, it was embarrassing. So we had to get them back."
The eighth-ranked Eagles did just that on Monday night, recovering from a slow start to blow past the sixth-ranked Golden Knights for a 73-56 home victory that gave Smyrna a leg up in the three-way Henlopen North title race. ...

|Real-time monitoring of adherent Vero cell density and apoptosis in bioreactor processes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22367019 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|This study proposes an easy to use in situ device, based on multi-frequency permittivity measurements, to monitor the growth and death of attached Vero cells cultivated on microporous microcarriers, without any cell sampling. Vero cell densities were on-line quantified up to 10(6) cell mL(-1). Some parameters which could potentially impact Vero cell morphological and physiological states were assessed through different culture operating conditions, such as media formulation or medium feed-harvest during cell growth phase. A new method of in situ cell death detection with dielectric spectroscopy was also successfully implemented. Thus, through permittivity frequency scanning, major rises of the apoptotic cell population in bioreactor cultures were detected by monitoring the characteristic frequency of the cell population, f(c), which is one of the culture dielectric parameters. Both cell density quantification and cell apoptosis detection are strategic information in cell-based production processes as they are involved in major events of the process, such as scale-up or choice of the viral infection conditions. This new application of dielectric spectroscopy to adherent cell culture processes makes it a very promising tool for risk-mitigation strategy in industrial processes. Therefore, our results contribute to the development of Process Analytical Technology in cell-based industrial processes.

Graph-based methods have been widely used for the analysis of biological networks. Their application to metabolic networks has been much discussed, in particular noting that an important weakness in such methods is that reaction stoichiometry is neglected. In this study, we show that reaction stoichiometry can be incorporated into path-finding approaches via mixed-integer linear programming. This major advance at the modeling level results in improved prediction of topological and functional properties in metabolic networks.

I changed the link to point to my server to remove the bandwidth load
from Moi's site.
Moi described his setup in an earlier message: TD-160/M97xE/Technics
I purchased the 1988 CD version of this album (< $10 used) and ripped
the same section as Moi's sample.
I time aligned it as best I could. The sample is about 34 seconds
long. The vinyl version takes about 60 msec longer to complete than
the CD version, so the speed accuracy of the turntable is about 0.2%
on the slow side if the CD can be considered the reference.
I applied -0.43 dB to the left channel of the CD version, and +0.26 dB
to the right channel. The volume was compared with the vinyl version
via average RMS. WavGain (which uses David Robinson's replaygain
algorithm) gives about the same answer as average RMS.
I applied a linear fadeout to about the last 4 seconds of the sample
to approximate what Moi had done with his sample.
I won't say what I hear just yet. If you think the difference is
sufficiently subtle to warrant the use of a double-blind tool, visit
one of the following sites:

Sean Nolan, the chief architect of the Microsoft Health Solutions Group announced last week that Microsoft's PHR platform HealthVault has broken free from the desktop and gone mobile.
HealthVault users who visit the HealthVault website from their mobile devices will now find a mobile optimized layout. Microsoft has also built client libraries for developers so they can create applications that tie into HealthVault. The software developer kit (SDK) and sample apps are already published for Windows Phone 7 OS (understandable and not surprising), while SDKs for Apple iOS and Google Android are coming "within weeks," according to Nolan. No mention of BlackBerry.
"This one changes the face of the platform pretty radically," Nolan writes. "It is going to be really fun to see what new applications start popping up over the next few months." Nolan writes that it has become "completely obvious" that mobile devices are becoming the primary channel through which people "communicate and compute" throughout the day. Mobile makes "complete sense" for health, Nolan writes because all meaningful health-related activities occur while we are away from our laptops: "office visits, emergencies, workouts, daily glucose testing, sleeping, you name it."
In not so many words Nolan acknowledges that HealthVault should have gone mobile earlier: "I'm so excited that HealthVault is finally a first-class mobile citizen."
One developer group, Akvelon, has already created an app using the WP7 SDK. The app called Health Guard is already available for WP7 users in the WP7 marketplace. Nolan revealed that he is also creating an app: "I can't wait to see more and more awesome, task-focused mobile applications start to come online. I'm working on one of my own, but it's a secret! ;)"
Mobile apps built on HealthVault are a long time coming. In February 2009 Dr James Mault, then-director of new products and business development for Microsoft's Health Solutions Group, announced: "You are going to see a number of mobile applications going live on this platform in the coming weeks and months," Mault announced. Following the session I asked Mault whether he and the HealthVault team had approached Microsoft's Windows Mobile team to get the mobile developers in-house thinking about leveraging this platform, too. Mault's response then: You bet. Of course, that never came to fruition, Mault has since left and it's been more than two years until we received the "HealthVault goes mobile" announcement last week.
In a lengthy interview with MobiHealthNews back in August 2009, Microsoft HealthVault's Senior Global Strategist George Scriban to discuss the PHR platform's mobile strategy. Here's a relevant excerpt:
"The funny thing about mobile platforms is that the architecture can be such that really the app on the device, on the smartphone, is a conduit to a separate Web app or service, so the developer's app is usually talking to their own service," Scriban said. "As long as they do that the service as a Web application can easily communicate to HealthVault via XML over HTTP, which is the way we communicate with any other HealthVault-enabled service. Client-side, whether it is on a PC or on a mobile device, direct connectivity to the platform is a little trickier in that the security model has to be tightened up a little bit. We are used to communicating via XML over HTTP and so there are very few client-side sets of bits like HealthVault Connection Center that actually talk directly to the platform."
"We are still working on how we incorporate native mobile applications, if you will, to speak directly from an individual phone straight to the cloud as opposed to through a service and then to the cloud," Scriban said. "At the same time, it really depends on the business model of the application provider. If a company's business involves an ongoing service that is constantly connected to a client that is on the phone, say, one that synchronizes a Web version of their service with the phone version of their service, we don't want to have to step in the middle and say that the phone has to talk directly to HealthVault. I think we will be open and very permissive whether it is direct client-side development or client-through-Web-app."

Around six o'clock, Jonah pulled up next to my house. My mom's car wasn't there, so I could tell that no one was home. I didn't want to be in there alone.
"Do you…" I tried to summon the nerve to ask him. "Do you maybe want to come in?"
He glanced up at me, visibly surprised. "Uh, sure."
I nodded, secretly happy, and got out of the car. I was still wearing Jonah's sweatshirt, and planned to keep it on as long as possible. Walking towards the house, I slipped my key out of the pocket of my jeans and unlocked the door. Opening it, I stepped inside, Jonah following close behind me. He shut the door and I walked into the kitchen, heading straight for the fridge. Finding nothing worth eating, I went to the pantry.
"You hungry?" I asked Jonah.
He shrugged. "I guess I could eat something."
I nodded. We had nothing, and I mean nothing to eat. Had Mom forgotten to stock up again? Where was she, anyway? Even though she worked a lot, she was always home before I got here. She should be home by now.
"Um," I said, still searching for something that Jonah could eat.
"I'm not really that hungry," he said. "I was just trying to be polite."
"Okay, good, 'cause we have nothing."
He shrugged. "No big deal."
"So…" I said, "Want to watch a movie or something?"
He shrugged again. "Yeah, that sounds good to me."
I walked past him into the living room. Noticing that it was already starting to get dark, I turned on a light before I started sifting through movies. "Do you really want to watch a movie?" I asked. "Or do you want to like, try to find some show?"
He shrugged. "A show's good, too."
"Okay," I said. He had already sat down on the couch. I sat down next to him, but nowhere near close to him. I turned on the TV and began flipping through the channels.
"Wait," Jonah said.
"Go back two."
I flipped back and found myself on Animal Planet. "Animal Planet?"
He shrugged. "It's interesting."
I covered myself up in a blanket and settled in.
"Destiny," I heard someone say. I felt hands gently shaking me awake. I sat up suddenly, making Jonah jump. I had fallen asleep. Again. Yawning, I stretched and glanced around the room.
"Is my mom still not home?"
"I think I just heard her car pull up."
"Will she be mad if I'm here?"
"Uh, she won't be happy. Why didn't I think of this? Here, quick, follow me," I said, jumping off of the couch. I ran up the stairs, hearing Jonah coming up behind me. I lead Jonah into my room and instantly began blushing at the messiness of it. "Excuse the mess," I said.
He shrugged.
"Stay here," I ordered him, "until I come get you. Okay?"
I nodded and walked out, closing the door behind me. When I got downstairs, I realized that my mom was just simply sitting outside in her car. I sat down on the floor and waited. She came in minutes later.
Getting up, I greeted her at the door.
"Hey Mom," I said.
"Hey, Sweetie."
"Mom? Where've you been?"
"I just-I had to stay late and work."
"Oh, okay," I said quietly.
"I'm tired. It's almost eight. I think I'm going to go ahead on to bed," she said, pulling me into a hug.
"Night, Mom."
"Goodnight Sweetie."
I watched her walk slowly up the stairs. I knew she wouldn't go into my room. My shoulders sagged slightly. I felt bad for her, working all the time. Once she disappeared, I followed her up the stairs and went into my room. Jonah was asleep. I didn't want to wake him. Shouldn't he get home, though? Weren't his parents worried? I picked up his car keys from their spot on the dresser and tiptoed downstairs. Had Mom not even noticed Jonah's car? Well, it wasn't right outside our house. It actually looked like it could be either parked outside of our house or our neighbors.
Walking up to his car, I unlocked it and got in. I opened the glove compartment and a neatly folded up piece of paper fell onto the floor of the car. What was I doing? Why was I snooping around? Jonah never told me anything about him; I just wanted to see if I could find anything. I shouldn't be doing this, though. Sighing, I put the piece of paper back inside the glove compartment and closed it. I didn't read it. I opened my door and got out. Glancing up, I froze.
Jonah stood before me, fuming.
"Uh, Jonah?"
"What the hell were you doing snooping around my car?"
"I didn't-"
"I saw you. Don't lie to me. What is wrong with you?"
"No," I said, taking a step towards him and laying a hand on his arm, "Jonah, I didn't-"
He cut me off again and yanked his arm away from my touch. "You read it! I saw you!"
He didn't understand. I didn't read it.
"No! Jonah, wait, listen!"
But he wouldn't. He snatched the keys out of my hand and went around to the driver's side. He got in and put it in drive.
"Jonah!" I screamed as he sped off.
He was gone.
Oh, no.
He was gone.
What had just happened?
I didn't even read the paper! He didn't even know what had happened. But I knew how it looked. All he probably saw was me putting it back into the glove compartment. But I hadn't read it. Whatever was on that paper must be important, or else he wouldn't have freaked out like he did.
I collapsed on the sidewalk and sighed. Just when things were going good with us, just when things were looking up, I had to mess everything up. Why? Why did I even go to his car in the first place?
The next day I missed the bus on purpose, thinking that Jonah would offer me a ride and we could talk things out.
Boy, was I wrong.
He sped right passed me and didn't even spare me a glance. I had to walk all the way to school, and I was beyond late. I could tell he was really mad, but I was going to try and talk to him during lunch and clear everything up. Once he knew the truth then everything would go back to normal, I hoped.
I didn't even bother getting a lunch. I was nervous about talking to Jonah, and I couldn't handle to eat anything. When I saw him walk outside, ear buds in, I became even more nervous. He sat down on the same bench he always did and slightly bobbed his head up and down. I got up and walked over to him.
"Jonah," I said.
He continued to bob his head to the music.
"Jonah," I said a little louder.
He stopped bobbing his head, but he didn't look at me.
"Jonah, I didn't-"
He stood up abruptly and walked away.
I stood there in shock as I watched him walk into the building.
So, I thought, this is how it's going to be?
I sat down on his bench, still wearing his sweatshirt. Now, with Jonah ignoring me, my mom stressed out more than ever with work, and my dad gone, I felt more alone than I ever had in my entire life.
A ragged breath escaped me as a single tear rolled down my cheek.
I wiped it away, furious with myself for being so weak.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - A group that has not been heard from in the transfer story that has gone on since early July is the students who are staying put. Thursday, we found kids who made the choice to stay at Riverview Gardens despite the chance for a free bus ride to another district.
Patrick Townes is a senior at Riverview Gardens High. He says he wouldn't want to go to any other school.
"I've always switched schools ever since fourth grade, or so. But I figured why leave now," Townes said.
He joined with other students who are sticking with the district, along with parents, alumni, and Riverview Gardens staff Thursday to make the high school a little more beautiful for the first day of school. A day that will see fewer students thanks to several hundred from the unaccredited district transferring to accredited ones.
"I know a couple of people who have tried {to transfer}, but it didn't exactly work as they planned. But I've encouraged them to...this is a good school. There's no point in leaving."
"Going to a different school will just make another school look good when I need to make my own school look good, because this is where I came from," added Melvin Jones.
Jones is a senior.
"I chose to stay because I feel like the teachers here gave me all the opportunities I ever asked for. I'm a 4.1 student, so if I've been doing that good all this time, why do I need another school to still do as good?" he said.
In the last three years, Riverview grads have gotten more than $9 million in scholarships. Melvin Jones hopes to keep that going.
"When I go to college I want to be able to come back and say 'Hey I didn't need to go to a different school to go to college because I did it from where I came from,'" said Jones.
They say the district has gotten a bad rap over the years, and especially through this process.
"You can always look at a book and tell that it's bad until you actually read it," Townes said. "If you actually come here and see how we all work together, you'll find out that it's really a pretty good school."
As they work their way back to accreditation, Patrick has one message for everyone: "It's changing."
A school official says several schools are working with new administrations and there are things in the works to get the accreditation back quickly.

It's fairly well-known that Rick Carlisle is one of 11 men to win NBA championships as a player and a head coach. How many fans, though, recall that Carlisle co-captained Virginia to the 1984 Final Four?
Carlisle rarely discusses his playing days, but with the Final Four coming to AT&T Stadium in six weeks, it seemed timely to ask the Mavericks coach about his 1984 memories.
"The Final Four is here this year?" Carlisle asked, professing that he knew North Texas had been selected to host the event but wasn't sure when.
Such tunnel vision helps make Carlisle one of the NBA's best coaches, but it doesn't diminish how he feels about his 1983-84 Virginia team's improbable sojourn to the Final Four.
"It's one of my very fond memories," Carlisle said, "because it was a team that just caught fire at the right time."
Carlisle, Mavericks swingman Vince Carter and guard Wayne Ellington each played prominent roles on Final Four teams, in different decades.
Mavericks advance scout Greg Dreiling started all 39 games for the Kansas team that made the 1986 Final Four in Dallas. Squint near the bottom of that year's KU stat sheet and you'll see that freshman guard Monte Mathis, now the Mavericks' defensive coordinator, played 10 minutes and scored two points.
Only one current Maverick, though, has ultimate college basketball bragging rights. Ellington not only is the only current Maverick to have won an NCAA Division I championship, with North Carolina in 2009, but also was named Most Outstanding Player of that year's Final Four.
"It was an unbelievable experience," Ellington said. "My three years in school, we took a step up every year the Elite Eight, then the Final Four, then we won the championship."
For many of the other Mavericks whose college teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament, Selection Sunday on March 16 will conjure varying ranges of mixed emotions.
Consider the case of Carter, whose 1997 and 1998 North Carolina teams lost in the national semifinals.
"I'm very appreciative of it," Carter said. "I'm glad I got to experience it. But yet it's a missed opportunity."
Both times the Tar Heels were a No. 1 seed. In the '97 semifinals in Indianapolis, they fell, 66-58, to a No. 4 seed, Arizona, that went on to beat Kentucky in the title game.
In the 1998 semifinals in San Antonio's Alamodome, North Carolina lost to Andre Miller-led Utah, a No. 3 seed, 65-59.
"Every time I go to San Antonio," said Carter, 36, "I just feel like, 'Man, I hate this place.' "
Sad memories
Mavericks Brandan Wright and DeJuan Blair, though, would gladly exchange NCAA Tournament memories with Carter.
Blair's 2008-2009 Pitt Panthers were ranked No. 1 for several weeks and entered the postseason as a No. 1 seed and reached the Elite Eight for the first time since 1974, but fell to Villanova, 78-76, for the right to advance to the Final Four.
In 2007, Wright's and Ellington's North Carolina team led Georgetown by 10 points with six minutes left in the East Regional final, but the Tar Heels missed 22 of their final 23 field goal attempts and lost in overtime.
And Mavericks assistant coach Tony Brown was a freshman on the 1978-79 Arkansas team that lost the Midwest Regional final to Indiana State and Larry Bird, 73-71.
Five years later, a seventh-seeded Virginia team made it to the Final Four with a 21-11 record and senior guard Carlisle as its second-leading scorer, at 11.4 points per game.
"There was no shot clock or 3-point line, so it was a different time," Carlisle said. "The games moved slower, possessions were extremely long and each possession had massive meaning.
"It was a different state of the game. I think the game is better now. I think that teams, because of the shot clock and the 3, have a chance to play more of a flowing, reactive type of game. I feel that's a change for the better."
Carlisle began his college career by playing two seasons at Maine, but transferred to Virginia, sat out a season because of NCAA transfer rules, then joined the Cavaliers in time for Ralph Sampson's senior season, 1982-83.
Virginia went 25-3 during the regular season, but in the West Regional final lost to eventual NCAA champion North Carolina State, 63-62, despite leading by seven with seven minutes left.
With Sampson gone, most regarded the 1983-84 season as a rebuilding year for Virginia, but the Cavaliers made the NCAA Tournament despite a 6-8 ACC record, then edged Iona (58-57), Arkansas (53-51), Syracuse (63-55) and Indiana (50-48) to crash the Final Four at Seattle's Kingdome.
"We were a Cinderella team, so it was a very jubilant moment," Carlisle said. "Then we went on to Seattle. The arrival in the host city is always a big deal because you're greeted in the airport bands, people, police escorts. It's a big deal."
While recounting his memories, Carlisle neglected to mention that he made the game-winning shot with four seconds left against Alvin Robertson- and Joe Kleine-led Arkansas.
"That was big," he said when asked about it. "We ran a play for another guy. The shot got deflected to me, and I just grabbed it and threw it up there and it went in."
In the national semifinal game against Akeem Olajuwon-led Houston, Virginia rallied from six down in the last three minutes of regulation to force overtime, but lost, 49-47. Houston lost to Georgetown in the title game.
"The vivid memory of it is really just the ambience of the Final Four and all the special things that go with it, all the attention and all the hoopla," Carlisle said.
"I'm pretty sure that was the first dome I'd ever played in. You had the vastness of the arena; the depth-perception is a little bit different. Back in those days, there didn't seem like there was a whole bunch of lights-out shooting in domes."
Seizing the moment
Thirty years later, vast AT&T Stadium in Arlington is about to host the April 5 and 7 Final Four games.
In the 2009 championship game, Ellington and North Carolina had to contend not only with the vastness of Ford Field, but with a crowd of 72,922 that was decidedly titled toward the opponent, nearby Michigan State.
North Carolina, though, jumped to an early 21-point lead, with Ellington scoring 15 first-half points.
"That kind of silenced everybody," Ellington said.
Carter has some advice for this year's Final Four players.
"Off the court, enjoy it, gasp at all the excitement. But on the court, remember what got you there diving on the floor, hard playing, playing as a unit. All that stuff really factors into big games like that.
"It's so hard to do and easy to say now, as a person who is not playing in the game."
As Carter spoke about his Final Four memories after a recent practice, Carlisle passed by. Hearing Carter, Carlisle asked, "Did you play in a Final Four?"
"Yeah, Coach," Carter said with a laugh. "I played in two."

Here is an opportunity to own a reputable Tartan 31 designed by Tim Jackett. This carefully designed racer/cruiser features a remarkably slippery shoal draft Scheel keel providing outstanding upwind performance with a shallow draft keel.
Berths for six are provided in the V-berth (2), port pilot and starboard settees (2), and aft quarter berth (2). All cabins are finished with oiled teak wood providing a warm comfortable feel. Nine opening ports and overhead hatches increase light and ventilation. Down the companionway, the chart table is located conveniently to port with the galley opposite. Traditional port and starboard settees are excellent seaberths with storage behind and under. The beautifully crafted dining table conveniently folds away for storage on the main bulkhead when not in use. The hanging locker is cedar lined.
The galley is equipped with a top-loading Adler Barbour refrigerator, a Hillerange two-burner propane stove with oven, and abundant storage. Completing the galley setup is a single stainless steel sink, hot and cold pressure water, freshwater footpump, and plenty of storage in cabinets both above and below the work surface.
A reliable manual marine head is provided along with hot and cold pressure water with a shower. Hot water is supplied electrically by a hot water heater when dockside and via a heat exchanger from the engine when underway. A 12-volt shower sump pump will discharge shower water, helping to keep the bilge clean and odor free. A 16-gallon holding tank may be emptied via a dockside pump out.
The Tartan 31, Temptation, has both 110V AC and 12V DC services. The 110-volt AC shore power (50' cable included) provides dockside service for hot water, the battery charging system, outlets in the galley, head, and each cabin. The 12-volt DC system has two house bank batteries and a selector switch in the nav station for switching batteries or combining them. The Yanmar diesel has an alternator for charging the 12volt batteries. Both the 110V and 12V service panels are equipped with breaker switches above the nav station.
Raymarine ST6002 Autopilot
Sails and Rigging
Try out the North StakPak mainsail with the Harken lazy jacks and you'll see how easy it is to control sail fast, efficiently, and with less effort than you may be accustomed to. Reefing is simple and adjustable, and stowing the mainsail couldn't be quicker. The 135% Genoa has Harken roller furling. All lines and sail controls are handled from the cockpit. Primary winches are self tailing and the mainsheet winch is electric. With the addition of the cruising spinnaker (handled with a dousing sleeve), this boat will handle well on all points of sail. A whisker pole is included.
Galvanized CQR anchor w/chain and rode
Safety Equipment and Accessories
Temptation's "miscellaneous" list includes SS swim ladders on the rail and transom, boomvang, wheel mounted compass, closed-cell cockpit cushions, port and hatch screens, manual bilge pump, and two electric bilge pumps with float switches.

The Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm use part of Prestwick Airport as a Search and Rescue (SAR) base called HMS Gannet. They operate three Sea King helicopters which cover one of the largest SAR areas in the United Kingdom.
Prestwick is the fourth busiest airport in Scotland after Edinburgh Airport, Glasgow International Airport, and Aberdeen Airport.
The Google map on the right shows an aerial view of the Airport and road map.
Today, the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm use part of Prestwick Airport as a Search and Rescue (SAR) base called HMS Gannet. They operate three Sea King helicopters which cover one of the largest SAR areas in the United Kingdom.
Scottish Aviation had a factory on site using the original terminal building and produced the Prestwick Pioneer, Jetstream, and Bulldog here. When Scottish Aviation merged with British Aerospace aircraft production was maintained until 1998 but BAE Systems still have a small facility on site for its BAE Systems Regional Aircraft division producing components for Airbus and Boeing aircraft.
Prestwick originally was the only Scottish Airport to operate a transatlantic link due to the good weather conditions and the fact that it is the only fog-free airport in Britain. This made it a good diversionary airport when bad weather affected other airports. In 1983, Prestwick was also used for Concorde pilot training. Prestwick also hosted a bi-annual airshow from 1967 to 1992.
In 1992, the airport was sold to Matthew Hudson, a Canadian entrepreneur, who built a railway station at the airport. The rapid growth of European no-frills airlines in the late 1990s saw the airport's traffic increase. In 1998, the airport was sold to Stagecoach, a Scottish transportation group.
Today, Ryanair serves more than 20 destinations from Prestwick, and is one of their maintenance hubs. Other budget airlines have moved to the airport. Prestwick is also used as a refueling point for military aircraft with regular visitors by the RAF, USAF, and Canadian Forces Air Command. The airport is also used for cargo traffic, and is now owned by Infritil, a New Zealand investment company, who refurbished the main terminal building.
Glasgow Prestwick is the only airport in Scotland served by its own railway station which is accessible by a covered walkway to/from the airport. All services from the station are operated by First ScotRail.
Buses to Prestwick Airport are operated by Stagecoach Western.
Taxis are available for immediate hire outside the terminal building.

Serbian-American inventor and engineer who discovered and patented the rotating magnetic field, the basis of most alternating-current machinery. He also developed the three-phase system of electric power transmission. He emigrated to the United States in 1884 and sold the patent rights to his system of alternating-current dynamos, transformers, and motors to George Westinghouse. In 1891 he invented the Tesla coil, an induction coil widely used in radio technology.

That's a very interesting post. I have always wondered about using magnets to create some kind of a generator, although I've never really looked in to it. Why does it not work? Im not sure from your post whether it doesnt work or that we are just led to believe it doesn't.
Nikola Tesla used ancient Sanskrit terminology in his descriptions of natural phenomena. As early as 1891 Tesla described the universe as a kinetic system filled with energy which could be harnessed at any location. His concepts during the following years were greatly influenced by the teachings of Swami Vivekananda. Swami Vivekananda was the first of a succession of eastern yogi's who brought Vedic philosophy and religion to the west. After meeting the Swami and after continued study of the Eastern view of the mechanisms driving the material world, Tesla began using the Sanskrit words Akasha, Prana, and the concept of a luminiferous ether to describe the source, existence and construction of matter.

Tabbed By : Tom Caruso e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com This song, purely for its energy, is among my favorite Grateful Dead songs. An old blues song written by Bobby Bland, the Grateful Dead never actually recorded this song in the studio, but only played it live. Hence, all of the versions are different, but the main structure of the song is pretty much the same. My personal favorite and the version of the song that I will be basing this tab off of is the version on Live/Dead, however this can be played to nearly any live version you can find of it. Phil plays a couple riffs, but besides these, he is pretty much always improvising, something you can easily do because the song is so loose; if you play an E major blues scale you pretty much can't go wrong. The song is in the key of E major and is in standard tuning. Main riff: G|---------------------6--9----------------------| D|------6--9-------7-----------------------------| A|---7-------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| The second riff can be heard in this version after Pigpen goes through the chorus, (so come on baby, baby please) and right after "let it shine on me, let it shine, let it shine let it shine..." G|------------6--9---13--11--9---------------------| D|------6--7---------------------11--9-------------| A|---7---------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------| And that's it! Sometimes the song will go to a place where those riffs don't work; in that case you can always just pedal an E until you get the feel for it. Above all, have fun playing!! Peace out and jam on.
