International panel: Is U.S. losing ground in higher education competitiveness?
July 20, 2011
Countries around the world are ramping up investments in higher education in a push to create world-class research institutions. At the same time, the top research universities in the United States are confronting the challenges of dwindling resources and support.
Interim Chancellor David Ward will welcome a group of education leaders from around the world to the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Tuesday, July 26 for a panel discussion on these trends and what they mean for the U.S. pre-eminence in higher education.
"Education and Competitiveness: The End of an American Century?" will be held on Tuesday, July 26, from 3:30-5:30 p.m., in the Wisconsin Idea Room (Room 159) of the Education Building on Bascom Hill. Sponsored by the UW-Madison Division of International Studies and School of Education, the program is free and open to the public.
"This is an important topic, not just for higher education, but for the future of the U.S. economy and the U.S. role in the world," says Gilles Bousquet, dean of UW-Madison's Division of International Studies and vice provost for globalization.
Bousquet, whose recent commentary on this subject was featured on the Chronicle of Higher Education's WorldWise blog, adds, "The distinguished speakers on this panel can offer a range of perspectives on current trends and what it means for American institutions."
Ward will deliver the opening remarks, followed by the panelists:
- Abdul Waheed Khan, former assistant director general of communication and information at UNESCO and current president of Talal Abu Ghazaleh University of Business, Bahrain, speaking on "India's Five-Year Higher Education Investment Plan and Its Promises for the Future."
- Aman Wirakartakusumah, Indonesian ambassador for UNESCO and former Rector of Bogor Agricultural University, Indonesia, speaking on "The Global Higher Education Landscape as Seen from Southeast Asia."
- Xiaozhou Xu, dean of the School of Education, Zhejiang University, China, speaking on "Towards Tri-Axis in Global Higher Education: The Rising of Asian Universities?"
- Julie Underwood, dean of UW-Madison School of Education, speaking on "America's Role in International Consortia: Who is Leading the Conversation?"
Amy Stambach, UW-Madison professor of educational policy studies in the School of Education, and associate dean in the Division of International Studies, will serve as moderator.
Following the program, a reception will be held in the Education Building Commons, sponsored by the School of Education and the Wisconsin Alumni Association.

Dr. R. Dale McCormick, the retired York Township doctor whose patients' medical records were found at a public dumpster, is to surrender his medical license, according to a consent agreement and order of the state Board of Osteopathic Medicine this week. "In consideration for not imposing other disciplinary sanctions, the parties propose, and the Board hereby accepts the permanent voluntary surrender of Respondent's licence," the order, dated August 13, states.
McCormick agreed not to return to the practice of osteopathic medicine in Pennsylvania on a permanent basis, according to the court documents. He will also surrender his wall certificate, registration certificate and wallet card by mailing them or delivering them to state Prosecuting Attorney Keith Bashore.
Other stipulations of the order state that McCormick will agree not to apply to have a medical license renewed, and the surrender this week of his license -- which was active through Oct. 31, 2014 -- will be considered a disciplinary action by the state board and will be reported to "any applicable national licensing databank," the agreement states.Contacted Thursday, McCormick said he had no comment. "It's all settled," he said.

He sits atop a swiveling stool behind two decks of keys at a perpendicular angle and hums the first few measures of "Retrograde" into the mic, and he's recording it, unbeknownst to the audience, to loop it for the rest of the song. Without even opening his mouth, he's simply dazzling, running from note to note with grace and subtlety. His wiry, long dark brown hair hides his pale, English face just a little, as he bobs his head with his fingers on the keys.
James Blake is a pianist, producer and singer, but in which order is indecipherable. The man's a powerhouse in terms of a pioneering sound, a rising star in an increasingly fickle and discerning, critical community. And on Saturday night, he'll touch down at the TLA.
The 24-years-young Londoner made a big splash with a few songs back in 2010, particularly the stunning "CMYK," a chopped and screwed track that features bits of Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody?" and Blake's innovative production. His talent is his ear for harmony through dissonance and colliding genres: R&B meets house meets folk meets pop. He became a favorite of the BBC and cemented himself as a musican-to-watch with a killer cover of Feist's "There's a Limit to Your Love," again with a sickening ear for the nuance of a heavy beat, a tricked-out snare that harkens back to Massive Attack and Aphex Twin. Later that year, he was nominated to the BBC's "Sound of 2011" Poll and placed second—ahead of The Vaccines and Jamie Woon, but behind that confounded Jessie J. A few months later, he issued his self-titled debut, and the second single, "The Wilhelm Scream," lifted his record to lofty, buzzworthy status. He's never really come down.
One of the best things about Blake is the blend of heartbreaking lyricism he lays bare atop his slick, stylish production tricks. "I Never Learnt to Share" features a repetitive "My brother and my sister don't speak to me/But I don't blame them." His song "Why Don't You Call Me" feels like a taboo; boys are always supposed to be the ones leaving girls hanging. His outstanding take on Joni Mitchell's "Case of You," from an EP later that year called Enough Thunder, was one of those moments when it feels like a cover actually does more than justice to the original by making you revisit both versions with new wonder. And on The Late Show with David Letterman Monday night, during his performance of "Retrograde," Blake found himself repeating the phrase "We're alone now." His songs lend themselves to the personal—the confessional, the exploration of loss and longing, exorcising sadness and desire.
And, of course, there's that voice. Capable of compelling acrobatics and a range that drops, dips, jumps and rises at will, there's wisdom in it that belies his 24 years. On the Late Show stage, he hauled in some faux stained glass windows, singing and tinkling his keyboards in front of a vaguely religious visual. Blake feels distinctly nonreligious, however, something about his vocals is godly. His guttural wail, that hides occasionally behind a computerized auto-tuned flourish, likens his talent to that of Antony and the Johnsons. On his month-old latest, Overgrown, he experiments more with electronics than ever before and even collaborates with RZA on the excellent "Take a Fall for Me." So this week's show should be a beautiful, heady mix of electronic beats, plus gentle percussion, piano mastery, new wave gospel singing and contemplatively devastating wordplay.

Still not that surprising, as Diamantidis was a perfect defender for him and was absolutely unbeatable. Indeed Planinic tried to take advantage whenever the Greek went to the bench or switch on defense, attacking his match-up with mixed results. Planinic, born in 1982, is still a young player who needs to gain consistency and experience (warming the bench in the NBA hasnt helped him that much), improve his shooting stroke and take better decisions, but certainly a keeper for Tau in their long-term plans. [Read Full Article] Euroleague: Who's HotDecember 21, 2006Planinic, who is currently out with an ankle injury, is playing above expectations after getting little playing time with the New Jersey Nets in the past three seasons. He has proven to be a major mismatch at the European level thanks to his combination of size and ball-handling ability. Along with Luis Scola, Planinic is a clutch performer in Tau Ceramicas title aspirations. Planinic is starting at the Point for Tau Ceramica, but has been getting playing time at all the perimeter spots. In the NBA he was turnover prone and a poor defender, but in Tau Ceramicas system he is displaying very satisfying defensive effort by using his size to alter shots and collect steals. On the offensive end, he showed his usual talent by making crisp passes and by taking the ball to the hole. His shooting is still inconsistent, due to his problematic shooting mechanics, but he has been able to keep his turnovers down. The former first round pick made a good decision by returning to the Euroleague, given that his game is obviously better suited for European competition, where his size and technique has better use. Still, if he continues to play at a similar level, Planinic might get a chance to return to the NBA. The question is if he really wants it after a frustrating experience with the Nets.

If you aren't the Yahoo Instant Messenger (YIM) client to connect to the Yahoo Instant Messenger servers, you might have noticed that you've been unable to connect to YIM over the past few days. The reason for this is that Yahoo has made some upgrades to their authentication protocols. These protocols have been updated in the Yahoo clients but the YIM development team appears to have neglected to mention this to third party client development teams such as the teams responsible for Pidgin, Trillian, and AdiumX.
This wasn't a problem until Yahoo began updating their YIM servers to the new protocols on June 17th/18th. Here is some of your options:
If you are using Pidgin:
- Launch Pidgin
- Navigate to Accounts-->Manage-->Select Your Yahoo Account-->Modify-->Advanced
- Add the following in the Pager Server field: cs102.msg.mud.yahoo.com
- Save and Close
- Restart Pidgin
If you are using AdiumX:
A Beta version supporting the new authentication protocol is already available.
- Launch AdiumX
- Navigate to Adium-->Preference-->General
- Verify Update to beta versions when available is selected
- Navigate to Adium-->Check for Updates...
- Restart AdiumX
For anyone else, or if you don't want to use a beta client,
Try adding cs102.msg.mud.yahoo.com to your hosts file and restarting your client.
On a Macs, Unix, and Linux, the hosts file is usually located in: /etc/hosts
In Windows, the host file location depends on your version of windows:
XP and Vista: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
NT/2000/XP Pro: NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows 95/98/Me: c:\windows\hosts

I love how everyone in Brentwood, California loves to go to your house or Larry David's house or my house and meet Howard Dean or Al Gore and talk about saving the world from global warming but then nobody even notices or says anything or DOES anything when there is a CLEARLY WRONGHEADED construction project creating traffic, pollution, and delays to thousands of people right in Brentwood. This is exactly the type of 'quality of life' issue that the Clinton administration focused on to great effect, ways that government can make people's day to day lives better --precisely the kinds of things most politicians (and Brentwood liberals) find too small or boring to get into.
And then, when I call my councilman, Bill Rosendahl, whose NAME is on the sign at the site of the badly organized, pocket-lining, six-month long, one lane of traffic construction project. And of course I got some little aide who didn't know shit and this is the project and blah blah blah. And THIS makes me reflect the sentiments of others I've met who say, 'They're all bad (politicians), fuck them all, and the system is corrupt and grotesque and, above all, STUPID and BADLY MANAGED.'
Who do I call now? Laurie David? Al Gore? Ari Emanuel, my agent? No. Why? Because there is NOTHING GLAMOROUS about a pork barrel, traffic-causing, stupid local problem. After all, this is Hollywood, and people only work on the 'issues' that are as sexy as a movie star.

Michael J. Fox attends the Globes. / Jeff Vespa, WireImage
It's one of the more cringe-inducing moments from recent awards show memory.
During its pre-show, E! flashed what it dubbed a "fun fact" regarding one of TV's most popular stars: "Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991."
Not surprisingly, the screen shot has gone viral.
E! has issued an apology to The Hollywood Reporter:
"We regret the insensitive classification of Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's diagnosis during our Eonline (sic) live stream. We understand the serious nature of the disease and sincerely apologize."

- Tomáš was born in 1985 in a small town called Milevsko in the South-Bohemian Region. In his early childhood he already showed some affection to drawing and painting, in this time mainly of aircraft carriers. Thinking that little Tomik could further gift and themes repertoire, his parents sent him up to the Folk School of Art. Thanks to it, Tomáš was then able to draw also other things which inspired him, especially various characters from computer games and films, which he found mainly in periodicals about computer games.
Before the completion of the basic education Tomáš realized, that the only thing which he is really good at is drawing, so he accepted with humility the recommendation of his art teacher and entered the Václav Hollar Art School in Prague. On one hand the art world in all its glory fully opened to him thanks to this fact, on the other hand some doubts came, how to pay interest on these abilities at the job market.
The paradigm shift came at the moment, when his friend showed him his animated created in 3D Studio Max. His interest in 3D graphics only grew since this time and it lead him consequently both to the first works created with the help of this programme and to the first possibilities, how to earn the living with its help.
From that time Tomas worked on various projects and on various positions. He spend nearly four years working for Upp company as a senior team leader on feature films such as 2012, Red Tails, Season of the Witch, Pandorum, Salt and others. Tomas is currently working mainly for RUR and other companies on a freelance basis, but if you have some intersting projects and need a little help, feel free to contact him.

London Screenings 'confident' buyers will come
Far from being dead, London's pre-Mifed film market is attracting increased interest from buyers. That is the verdict of londonscreenings.com, a buyers' rep acting for the London Screenings (the market organised by Fusion Events), the Raindance independent film festival and the Kodak Vision Screenings. "We remain convinced the market will be a success especially for those sellers that see the non-attendance of a couple of major sellers as an advantage," said Alexis Bicat, co-founder ...

The press conference was packed with cameras and 30 or 40 reporters. They were not giving The Gov an easy time—at least, three of them weren't. Everyone else was silent. There was time for one more question, and Mark Z. Barabak from the Los Angeles Times wanted to ask it. "I don't want to give three questions to the Times," Gray Davis, that beacon of fairness, said. So then the fedoraed hepcat from the San Jose Mercury News wanted to ask one. "But then you'd have three!" Davis explained. "Does anybody else have a question?"
Oh, I had a question. It went like this: "Governor Davis, I just spoke to Christie Johnson from Families to Amend California's Three Strikes, and she told me that during your initial campaign, you put your arms around a Three Strikes wife and promised that as soon as you were governor, Three Strikes would be amended. But she also says you've vetoed every piece of legislation they've managed to get to your desk." Of course, that's more a statement than a question, but I could have added something like, "So, uh, any comment?"
Instead, I stayed silent. The rest of us stayed silent. And then a woman from CNN asked some snorer about the 2004 presidential race, probably because she figured not having any question at all would make her look as stupid as the rest of us.
I didn't ask my question for the worst of all possible reasons: since everyone else wanted to know about Enron and the economy and Davis' Republican challengers, I was afraid asking a fringey question about Three Strikes would make me look . . . irrelevant. I kept flashing on the dogged reporter in the brilliant Bob Roberts—a radical journalist to whom no one pays any attention whatsoever until he's framed for the attempted assassination of the folk-singing right-wing candidate. I didn't want the other reporters to laugh me away from their reindeer games. I apologize humbly to you, my beloved readers, for being a puss.
Puss-ness is Gray Davis' problem, too. Oh, he had fighting words a-plenty at the state Democratic Convention this weekend at LA's Westin Bonaventure hotel. And he was so good at those fighting words that I actually felt a little . . . tingly. Like when he said to his Republican challengers, "I'm Gray Davis. Iam the governor! And whichever one of you emerges from the primary, you are in for the fight of your life!"—well, it was bizarrely sexy, and when you think Gray Davis is sexy, you know you have a problem.
No, he doesn't back down from political campaigns; he just amasses and amasses and amasses his war chest until the other side goes home, crying like a little girl who didn't get a pony. It's his friends from whom he runs away because he's a big, fat vagina. It's the Three Strikes ladies. It's the teachers. It's organized labor who put him in office with a heroic and unprecedented get-out-the-vote effort. Those are the people he shies away from because they make him look bad in Fresno.
But at the convention, if people were holding grudges, they were doing so quietly. An introductory video reminded us of the Department of Managed Health Care, which Davis created in '99 to help families screwed by their HMOs. It reminded us over and over again that there are those who would take away your rights based on "who you love." (A nice catchphrase, though I would push for the proper "whom.") It reminded us a million times about "choice." And the people cheered. And when Davis entered the ballroom to U2's "Beautiful Day," the people cheered louder. He raised his hands in the air and bounced them there. "Oh, my God! He's 'raising the roof'!" I told a reporter behind me, who wasn't looking. "I know! He is!" she replied. "No, he's actually raising the roof!" I clarified. I don't think she knew what I meant.
In used-car parlance, I am a "grape," a sucker who will buy any car you put in front of me, for a couple grand morethan sticker price. It also means that even though I know how many times Gray Davis has disappointed his faithful, all he has to do is remind me that all three of his challengers want to fully deregulate the electricity market (getting rid of those pesky price ceilings on what SCE can charge consumers, for instance). "They think we should trust the energy companies," is all he has to say, and I am right back in his pocket. And so he said it. And so I'm in—even though he left the stage to Van Halen's "Jump."
Wandering the gorgeous hotel (green fountains and little pondlets abounded) were every kind of person, old and fat and young and skinny and beautiful; there were roughly twice as many attendees as at the Republican Conventionin San Jose last weekend. Some of our favorites included former OC Democratic chairwoman Jeanne Costales and her sidekick, Marti Schrank. Old and smoky Jack Roberts (who tried his best to be a roadblock in the path of Dick "May I Call You Dick?" Ackerman's re-election) was there too. The Three Senators—Daschle, Kerryand Edwards—made lovely speeches as they performed the intricate dance of edging toward the '04 election without seeming overeager, though Edwards isn't as charming and vivacious in a huge ballroom as he is in a small room of adorers. (A woman sitting behind Commie Mom fawned, "Oooh, he's so handsome!" "Too slick!" Commie Mom replied. She hates slick, but she'd probably put a poster of John Kerry over her bed like he's Leif Garrett and kiss it before she went to sleep at night.) Former Secretary of State (and running once again) March Fong Eu was in attendance, looking lovely even though she's eleventy.

Note: The following recommendations were culled from interviews with dozens of teens, parents, legislators and advocates who were contacted for this special report.
Cell phones are distracting for all drivers and increase the chance of having a traffic accident. A 1997 New England Journal of Medicine study found the risk of having an accident increased by four times when a driver was using a cell phone. Given their inexperience, learning and newly licensed drivers could be at a higher risk.
Nevada should join 10 other states that ban teens from using cell phones while driving. Most of those states limit cell phone use during the learner's permit or intermediate license period, but Connecticut and Illinois ban teens from using their cell phones while driving until age 18. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and District of Columbia prohibit handheld cell phone use by all drivers.
Nevada places the burden of teaching teens to drive on parents or other qualified drivers. Teens under the age of 18 must have at least 50 hours of behind-the-wheel training, 10 of which must be at night, before they can apply for a license.
But critics say parents may lack the skills to teach teens how to drive in snow or other adverse weather conditions, or to teach their child such defensive maneuvers as a controlled skid. And parents may pass on poor driving habits or cut short the full 50 hours of training required.
A better method would still put the primary responsibility on parents but require a portion of a teen's training be done by a licensed professional driving instructor. California teens must complete training requirements similar to those in Nevada but are required by law to complete at least six hours of professional driver's training instruction.
Additionally, the Department of Motor Vehicles should offer, at the time teens receive their learner's permits, a checklist to parents of driving skills to be taught. Parents are given no guidelines on what to teach their teen drivers.
Before 1998, the Washoe County School District regularly included behind-the-wheel instruction as part of driver's education courses. But high costs and difficulty getting cars prompted the district to discontinue the offer. Today just Reno High offers behind-the-wheel training (for $75). Driver's education, once regularly offered for credit, mainly is available through the district's community education department and usually is available only after school, during spring or winter break, or over the summer. Advocates argue putting a behind-the-wheel training component back into driver's education classes would give teens better and more complete driving skills. Furthermore, they say the program could be designed to teach those skills universally to teens across the state.
Programs in other states aimed at showing teens the deadly consequences of drunken or reckless driving have helped reduce the number of young driver accidents and fatalities. Efforts to increase seat-belt use or increase awareness of graduated licensing laws have also helped. Local law enforcement, the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety and other public safety organizations should target young drivers with programs. Those organizations also should seek federal, state and private funding for teen driver programs.
In Santa Rosa, Calif., police regularly offer a variety of programs for young drivers that garner measurable support from teens, parents and the public. Some of the programs are financed through private donations.
Many parents of teens killed in a traffic accident believe their children might still be alive had they received better defensive driving training. They say all teens could benefit from training in a multitude of driving emergencies, such as estimating the speed of oncoming vehicles, evasive maneuvers and controlled skids. Most said they would be willing to pay the costs for such a program.
Nevada should make completing a defensive driving course, such as the Las Vegas-based Driver's Edge, a mandatory requirement for every young driver before getting a license.
Many online programs lack proper safeguards to ensure that teens are getting the 30 hours of training prescribed by law to complete reading, quizzes and tests. The Reno Gazette-Journal found two online schools that allowed teens to complete the course under the time limit. In one case, a young driver was able to finish the course within six hours.
Online schools also are susceptible to cheating. It's easy for teens to have someone else read the material and take tests for them. Critics say classroom driver's education is a better choice because it allows for interaction between the student and instructor. The benefit of field trips, presentations from police and accident victims, and other features aren't found in an online course, they say.
Most teens with learner's permits interviewed for this series had not yet completed driver's education but already were driving. Many states, such as California, require teens to complete basic driver's education, which includes traffic laws and other information, before receiving their learner's permit.
Nevada law restricts young drivers from having passengers, other than family members, for three months after they get their license. Advocates say newly licensed drivers should not be able to transport passengers for at least six months. Some states restrict a young driver's ability to have passengers for up to two years after receiving their license.
Studies have shown that limiting passengers can reduce young driver accidents and fatalities. Distractions and peer pressure caused by teen passengers can negatively influence a young driver's ability to maintain control of their car and obey traffic laws.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) created a task force of representatives from a variety of ethnic/racial organizations and traffic safety professionals to provide advice about how to reach special populations effectively.
MADD organized a conference, "The National Diversity Forum: Creating Partnerships to Save Lives," in February 1999, in Miami, Fla., in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The forum brought together 150 people from 125 organizations, including representatives of major African-American, Hispanic, Native American and Asian/Pacific Islander constituency groups. The secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation and the administrator of the NHTSA also attended.
MADD commissioned a research study of more than 199,000 people fatally injured in crashes over a five-year period to determine the percentage of alcohol-related fatalities by ethnic group.

With a penchant for blending the old with the new, violinist Anne Akiko Meyers and pianist Anton Nel are trying their hands at musical alchemy by bringing three colorful and flavorful world premieres to the Aspen Music Festival on July 12.
In a program that includes classic works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Maurice Ravel and Astor Piazzolla, the recital will debut Mason Bates' "Suite for Solo Violin," Somei Satoh's "Sange" and a special encore arranged by Gene Pritsker.
Meyers describes the music menu as diverse but palatable, punctuated by Ravel's jazzy colors, Piazzolla's tango-infused sentimentality, Satoh's zen beauty and Bates' full-throttle thrill ride.
Denver Post: What are the hallmarks of these premieres?
Anne Akiko Meyers: (Mason Bates' piece) is a really fast-paced, highly textural, really rhythmically propulsive piece. His style is always kind of that way, and I think it's because his day job is that he's a DJ. You feel like there's always this kind of sound-bite quality to his music.
The Somei Satoh piece is the completely other end of the spectrum. He is incredibly zen and calm, but there's an edge always to that calm. He really believes that silences are almost more important than the notes themself. The metronome marking is 34, it's not even on the dial. You have to completely control your bow and your breathing - I really have to tap into my inner Buddha to really show the tremendous color and awareness that one realizes when things are slowed down to that degree. His piece is called "Sange," which means blessing. There's such a spirituality attached to the rests. The note becomes a rebirth almost every single time, so it's a birthing process.
Q: Why is it important to showcase new music?
A: In our cellphone generation, in our iPod generation, music has changed a great deal, but yet we're always borrowing from the old. I'm always borrowing from the old, but I want to stay current. That's why playing new music is so fascinating to me, and I think it really, for me, as a performer, pushes the envelope.
Q: How do the other pieces on the program complement the premieres?
A: I really like a very diverse meal. I like to start with a delicious appetizer and then have a great entree and the best dessert possible, with loads of dark chocolate in it - and with a great bottle of wine. I really try to, I think, reflect that with my menu options on my program.
Q: If you were to consider this a concept program, what kind of message are you hoping to send?
A: Being open to music of today is just so wonderful for audiences to experience. Mozart and Schubert and Mahler, all that music was new at one time. And so, I just really feel like I'm giving a boost up. Here we go, you don't have to love it. But I'm very curious to know what people think, how it sounds to them. It's just amazing to meet lots of audience members and to get their feedback afterward, because it's so different for every single person.
Q: You performed this program in Florida a couple weeks ago, has anything changed with the premieres?
A: It was kind of like a test run so we could implement any last second changes - which there were. Some minor notes here and there, a couple additions of beats. You even have to take page turns into account. Now that I have this sound in my head, you understand it better, so you can play it better.
Q: Being based in Austin, how does travel affect or stress your performance focus?
A: I travel from Austin regularly, but I'm also traveling with my family. I have a 2- and a 4-year-old who are going on the road together. That can really be challenging in itself with time zones and changes in schedules - and it's not just my schedule that's changing, but two other very important people. I have to say they are such troopers, and they've been all over the world already. It's so great to be able to come home and go back to my hotel room and they're all there. But then at 7 a.m., I'm mom again, for sure. They don't let you forget.
Q: How does Austin's music scene differ from Aspen?
A: Everyone has mentioned that Austin is the new capital of the U.S. People love college bands there, and it's a lot of different alternative bands. So classical is a different niche for sure, but Austin is a great town because it's between mellow and laid-back.
Q: How does the altitude affect your sound and your instrument (the 1741 "Vieuxtemps" Guarneri del Gesu)?
A: Every time I come here I'm just like, "God, if I"m this thirsty," I'm always thinking, "Holy cow, the violin!" I don't want it to crack, it's so dry, It is, to me, a living entity. My room is so humidified. It feels a little tropical in my music room. I keep it that way so the violin can breathe and feel good. I'm always aware of air conditioning blasting on the instrument. The hair gets stretched out, too, on the bow. The other day, I almost took out my cornea because my E-string popped because it's so dry. And I went, "Oh great, I'm so glad my sister is an eye doctor."
Q: In your traveling, you get to perform with a variety of collaborators. How does working with Nel affect your interpretation of these pieces?
A: Every person and every performer is so different, and that's what makes it so thrilling. Kind of like a marriage of so many different factors - the instrument, the pianist, the instrument their using. That's what makes it so real and so organic. I've worked with Anton many, many times. He has a beautiful sound, it's very refined.
Q: How has Aspen's music festival and school changed since you were first there as a student in your teen years?
A: It's really a branching out of The Juilliard school. You definitely feel New York City and The Juilliard School, but now you also feel Los Angeles and The Colburn Schooland USC's (Thornton School). Back when I was a teenager, it was definitely just Juilliard.
Q: Are you taking this program anywhere else?
A: I'll be taking it to Albuquerque and Detroit. I'll be playing a slightly different program in Detroit. I'll be playing a John Corigliano piece that he wrote for little baby Natalie, who is now 4. I'm also playing back in Florida in January. But I'm releasing a new album at the end of September, which will feature the Barber Violin Concerto, as well as the Bates Violin Concerto and this beautiful lullaby that was orchestrated for the London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Leonard Slatkin.

| It is true that no major nation recognized the Confederacy as a separate nation, but that does not mean that there was no sympathy for the southern cause. Nations like England and France gave some consideration to recognition, but the United States Government declared that such a recognition would result in war. The European countries found it more expedient to give the southerners belligerent status, giving them the right to obtain loans and buy arms from neutral powers.
It can be maintained that Lincoln's declaration of a blockade was actually recognition of the Confederacy as a separate nation. A blockade was something that one country imposed on another. Countries do not blockade their own ports, they close them. Thus, imposition of a blockade while at the same time denying that a separate nation existed was inconsistent.
The lead-up to war was hardly: "Pure and simple." The process evolved over half a century, as the intensity of sectional conflicts grew. The culture of a rapidly growing industrializing north and that of a southern system resembling feudalism could not be reconciled. Conflict eventually became inevitable after decades of trying one compromise or another.
It is true that the institution of slavery was the catalytic element that led to the war. But it was only part of a larger disagreement, that of how much power the federal government should have over the states. As the southerners saw it, the system was no longer fair. Thus, they made the decision to withdraw from the connection to the federal government that they had voluntarily entered into. In fact, the conflict cannot even be classified as a true civil war, since the southerners were not trying to destroy or take over the US Government, only to leave it.
In the end, the question of how much authority the federal government had was decided, but only at the end of a bayonet. As Napoleon said: "Morality is on the side of the heavier artillery."


text: Can someone clarify which Amoil oil filter is best for the 2UZ. I could swear the amsoil guide recommends the SDF-57, which I am currently running. I see most of you run the SDF-15. Amsoil tech Support says it has a larger filtration capacity but cannot guarentee proper fit/gasket seal. Does it fit perfectly? Is the SDF-15 a better filter for our trucks?? How much additional oil are you guys adding at a normal change to accomodate for the increased filter capacity. Again, Amsoil tech suggested a need for up to 16oz. of additional oil. Comments please!

Emmanuel spent about four months building the hull, planking her with red cedar and building the deck from plywood. He launched AECHMÉA in May 2012 during La Fête du Nautisme at the Lake of Eguzon, near Chateauroux, France. He says that it is a perfect light boat for small rivers, and plans to paddle it on France's small and very small rivers.

I don't think it's helpful criticising someone for not running proper DBTs of loudspeakers. As far as I know, only one or two members here have tried.
I know the loudspeaker comments were part of a longer post that had many other issues, but I don't think ABX-ing loudspeakers is a realistic thing to jump on.

The trouble with ABX testing is always the fact if you want it to be truly objective you have to collect a large enough number of subjective test results to start with, and then apply statistics in order to filter out the unwanted subjectiveness part. This is because every individual test result always has a significant chance of being highly inaccurate, so you need lots of people to participate if you want the final conclusions to be reliable ones.
Often, if not practically always, it is too time consuming and/or too uneconomical to conduct an ABX test properly, i.e. in such way that expectation bias doesn't creep in through the back door etcetera. Experts in auditory neuroscience and psychoacoustics have gathered experimental evidence which appears to indicate the following. Humans who remember different things are perfectly capable of hearing the same sounds differently as a result of remembering different things. For example, Bob Stuart of Meridian, who has a Ph.D in neuroscience, believes that it is perfectly possible for a person to not hear a specific detail in a piece of music when it is played back on one particular system "A", then to discover this specific detail by listening to the same music again on a better, more resolving system "B" next, and then, finally, to turn back to the previous system "A" and always hear this detail on system "A" even though the detail could previously not be heard on system "A". Moreover, Bob Stuart believes rapid switching between sounds can inevitably cause humans to perceive sound objects differently.

You mean censored.
Speaking of the ability to audition samples during a test, some interfaces (like that in foobar2000) allow the participant to audition the known samples A and B in addition to the unknown samples, X and Y. There are no limitations on how often these samples can be auditioned or how long one can take before committing to an answer.

Literary Lions Book Club: All The Light We Cannot See
Saturday, May 9 @ 10 am
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris, within walking distance of the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of the locks (there are thousands of locks in the museum). When the Germans occupy Paris, father and daughter flee to Saint-Malo on the Brittany coast, where Marie-Laure's agoraphobic great uncle lives in a tall, narrow house by the sea wall. In another world in Germany, an orphan boy, Werner, grows up with his younger sister, Jutta, both enchanted by a crude radio Werner finds. Werner travels through the heart of Hitler Youth to the far-flung outskirts of Russia, and finally into Saint-Malo, where his path converges with Marie-Laure. Doerr's gorgeous combination of soaring imagination with observation is electric. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, Doerr illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. For book club information, please contact Friends of the Main Library St. Augustine President Toni Siriani. Reserve the book here.

"The Runaway" by Alice Munro
Saturday, July 12 @ 10:30am
In Alice Munro's superb collection, we find stories about women of all ages and circumstances, their lives made palpable by the subtlety and empathy of this incomparable writer. Throughout this compelling collection, Munro's understanding of the people about whom she writes makes them as vivid as our own neighbors. Here are the infinite betrayals and surprises of love between men and women, between friends, between parents and children that are the stuff of all our lives. It is Alice Munro's special gift to make these stories as vivid and real as our own.
The Woman Upstairs by Claire Messud
Saturday, August 9 @ 10:30am
Nora Eldridge, an elementary school teacher in Cambridge, Massachusetts, long ago compromised her dream to be a successful artist, mother and lover. She has instead become the "woman upstairs," a reliable friend and neighbor always on the fringe of others' achievements. Then into her life arrive the glamorous and cosmopolitan Shahids--her new student Reza Shahid, a child who enchants as if from a fairy tale, and his parents: Skandar, a dashing Lebanese professor who has come to Boston for a fellowship at Harvard, and Sirena, an effortlessly alluring Italian artist. When Reza is attacked by schoolyard bullies, Nora is drawn deep into the complex world of the Shahid family; she finds herself falling in love with them, separately and together. Nora's happiness explodes her boundaries, and she discovers in herself an unprecedented ferocity--one that puts her beliefs and her sense of self at stake. Told with urgency, intimacy and piercing emotion, this brilliant novel of passion and artistic fulfillment explores the intensity, thrill--and the devastating cost--of embracing an authentic life.
Any book by Robin Cook
Saturday, September 13 @ 10:30am
This year's Literary Legend at the Florida Heritage Book Festival is best-selling author, Robin Cook. In celebration of this event, we are letting book club members choose any of his titles to read for this month's book discussion. Dr. Cook debuted his first medical thriller, Coma, in 1977, and since then, he has written more than 30 others, becoming recognized worldwide as the master of the medical thriller genre. In 2002, he was awarded the "Author of Vision" distinction from the RP International organization, and in 2004, President George W. Bush appointed him to the Woodrow Wilson Board of Trustees. Wesleyan University honored him with a Distinguished Alumni Award in 1982 and the McConaughy Award in 2012 for his writing.

Just came back from The XX live in Paris (at le 104, which is conveniently located 30 seconds down the street from my place, nothing too fancy up in here, really it's the pits). Had a pleasant time with Sabby (Editor of WS.fr with me and one half of the parentals : Mother). We had an enjoyable smooth night sailing through the short-ish set of London's muched talked about trio. They performed a good selection from both Albums and a brilliant rendition of Wham's classic 'All I Want For Christmas". Not to mention some pretty slick guitar and instrumentals on 'Infinity'. All wrapped up I got quite itchy for dancing. But obviously was in the wrong place. When the french crowd decides not to move, they won't. Music wasn't helping either. Like a loaf of bread with no yeast you know. It didn't pick up. Anyway…. We had fun, that's me just being me… It was the coolest venue and the acoustics were pretty raaaad. Now Let's start with Los Angeles based R&B artist Phlo Finister who just dropped this beauty on us :
Phlo Finister – Hotel Miami[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-wB2ARKO3I[/youtube]
What did you think ? Tell us in the comment section below !
Now some cool downloadable track in for good measure :
Katy Perry vs Beirut – Scenic Cold
Coastal Cities – Relief (Dorian and The Dawn Riders remix)
Abelard – Dream
Ev Ree Wuhn – Control
Julia Losfelt – Mojo So Dope (Kid Cudi cover)
Ain't life good ?? This should keep you occupied while I schlep over to Wales, in the UK, and post the Sundaze #35 everyone seems to be waiting for… Here the cover art Paul Grelet came up with :
Here at Sodwee.com we're happy if you are ! In the meantime spend some quality time with your family, Have the best of Christmas, and a Happy New Year 2013. All the best, see you on the other side…
