Our Weekly Picks: May 19-25, 2010
Francis and the Lights
Although they've garnered attention from shout-outs by Kanye and Drake, New York City's Francis and the Lights have enough style to speak for themselves. Singer Francis Farewell Starlite sounds a lotta bit like Phil Collins, and the '80s groove that often accompanies him only adds to the double-take. If Starlite's Trek convention name didn't scare you off, you'll discover he has some kick-ass dance moves and a synth keyboard with all black keys, because "the difference between black and white keys is that there is no difference." If you can make it early for Teen Inc., you'll get more 1980s funk, spin-cycled with a tad of Ariel Pink and a pinch of Prefab Sprout. (Peter Galvin)

Roky Erickson
From his time as leader of psychedelic pioneers The 13th Floor Elevators through his varied and excellent solo work, Roky Erickson has continued to write and perform some of the most original and imaginative music in any subgenre of rock 'n' roll. A testament to his outstanding talent and resilience is that Erickson has done so while surviving decades of drug abuse and mental illness, a hellish journey that has fortunately ended with his inspiring recovery and recent return to the music world. Last month saw the release of True Love Cast Out All Evil, his first new album in 15 years, an incredibly poignant collection of songs that document his struggles but ultimately give the sense of hope and promise for a fruitful future.

Sara Shelton Mann and David Szlasa
Newcomers to the Bay Area take the presence of Sara Shelton Mann for granted. They shouldn't. Though she has been making groundbreaking work — theatrically and philosophically — for 30 years, she yet has to run out of steam, curiosity, or the willingness to push herself to the edge of whatever she happens to be investigating. Yet there is always that same nagging question: how do we live with each other in a world that is anything but perfect and tries to shape us without our consent? Not that her work gives answers — but it's the journey and questions that count, right? She and media artist David Szlasa are joined by some of San Francisco's finest: Yannis Adoniou, Hana Erdman, Patrick Ferreri, Kira Kirsche, Justin Morrison, and Kristin Osler. (Rita Felciano)

An Evening with Chuck Palahniuk
It is rumored that at one reading of his short story "Guts," Chuck Palahniuk caused 40 audience members to faint from evocative prose involving intestines and a swimming pool pump. Yeah, gotcha. Palahniuk appears to be on course to offend our every sensibility (besides our apparent appreciation for the "transgressive novel" — Wikipedia, what does that even mean?), and his next target is the general squeamishness caused by L.A. name-dropping, courtesy of his latest release, Tell-All. The master of encyclopedic minutiae and literary gauche comes through this week to talk about what's on his mind — be sure to bring a bag and wear a helmet if you have a weak stomach.

I love the guys of Keepaway as friends, so full disclosure and all that. But seriously: this is upper deck exercise music. It will remind you of your happiest birthday party or your comfiest drug trip—either way, there are lots of brightly colored bouncy balls and all the time in the world. Keepaway's spring-loaded EP Baby Style is already scorching the usual hype channels, though most of the praise is of the glum "Animal Collective-meets-whatever" kind. Forget it, and go watch a band swing for the fences. (Max Goldberg)

Readymade Dance Theater Company: The Body Artist
The Body Artist, Albuquerque's Readymade Dance Theater Company's latest theater piece, was inspired by Don DeLillo's novel of the same name. Strictly speaking, it was Laurie Anderson's taped reading that convinced Romanian-born choreographer Zsolt Palcza that he wanted to choreograph the work. Its story revolves around a young woman who, after her husband's suicide, returns to their home and finds an unexpected visitor who knows a lot more about her than she can easily digest. Palcza brings a strong literary bent to much of his work, having previously choreographed both Dracula and Woyzeck. Body Artist is the group's first San Francisco engagement. (Felciano)

Nokie Edwards
Getting his start playing back-up with Buck Owens when the country star lived in Tacoma, Wash., Nokie Edwards went on to join the Ventures as bassist in 1960 but quickly made the switch to lead guitar based on his musical virtuosity. Over the years since, he has lent his formidable talents to the many tracks that propelled the group to being the most successful instrumental outfit in history, including "Walk, Don't Run" and "Hawaii Five-O." Having been enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, Edwards and his band mates helped influence generations of surf bands, instrumental groups, and guitarists of all stripes and styles.

Maker Faire
Step right up folks, this is the year's preeminent get-together for makers of things. Yes, it's just that specific. Forget the endless service industry feedback loop we're stuck in — Maker Faire is all about taking the initiative to create the world around us. The Faire is home to everything from Burner flights of fancy via steel I-beam and bungee cord to robots, rockets, quilts, and felt creations. But the offerings that get my crafty cravings a-ragin' are educational. After all, where else can one get primers on beekeeping, repurposing a computer hard drive, juggling, fermenting veggies, and building your own rotational casting machine in a single event? Unheard of, even in this hands-on hamlet. (Donohue)

Uncorked! Wine Festival
There's something about wine. Maybe it's the process of growing, crushing, fermenting, and aging the grapes. Or maybe it's that a bottle can go as low as $2 and as high as $2,000. You can cook with it, be classy and drink from a box, or just enjoy a glass with a platter of brie and crackers. At the fifth annual Uncorked! Wine Festival, you can learn how to properly pair the finest pastas and meats with the correct types of wines and even find out how to detect if an opened bottle of wine has gone bad. Tastings will be offered, of course, for an extra fee. (Elise-Marie Brown)

Too many perfectly capable odes have been penned to the Victorian homes that dignify our streets. So I won't waste words on how they make us all cooler by their very presence — but you know what I mean, right? Fabric8 gallery sure does. Owner Olivia Ongpin has assembled a homage to the Painted Ladies for her newest opening. Works focus on the femininity and architecture around us, including the Lower Haight fairy tales of Ursula Young, Nome Edonna's water-infused dreamscapes, and the heavy-lidded queens that grace the canvasses of Telopa.

Dead Prez 10 Year Anniversary Show
Laid on a foundation of political and societal confrontation, Dead Prez is celebrated as one of the most militant hip-hop duos. It has been 10 years since their debut album, and they are taking the stage at the Rockit Room for a live performance with special guests Ras Ceylon, Sellassie, and Unity. Since Let's Get Free in 2000, they've released albums and mixtapes and infiltrated the media through music in movies and on TV, most notably the opening theme for each episode of Chapelle's Show. On Mother's Day, they released a remix of B.o.B.'s track "Nothin On You" retitled "The Beauty Within." Two years ago, they recorded their only live album here in SF, and now they're back.

Canadian electronic artist Caribou tinkers with beats and sounds with a surgeon-like precision, which makes sense given that he is a doctor. Well, not that kind of doctor. I can barely do long division anymore, but the man behind Caribou, Dan Snaith, has a PhD in math and surely this superpower informs his work as a composer. His newest album, Swim, is a shimmering grab bag of danceable rhythms and soft vocals that channel pop music as much as house or disco, all performed with live instruments. (Galvin)

Nas, Damian Marley
Things that taste better together: bacon and eggs, french fries and ketchup, rap and reggae. Realizing the success of their Grammy-winning collaboration "Road to Zion," criminally-ill MC Nas and the youngest son of Bob Marley, Damian, reunite for a whole album that is equal parts street tough and island beauty. Proceeds from Distant Relatives go to charities in Africa. Although the primary sentiments of the album are hope and inspiration, don't think for a minute that these beastly songs would be out of place in any club in SF or any dancehall in Kingston. More important, the album opens the door to more musical crossover collabs — nü-metal and country? We can dream...(Galvin)

You are right that the graphics card doesn't matter much for After Effects. The stock GPU in any modern computer is enough. The specs that you mention for other components seem fine for running After Effects. Premiere Pro is a different matter; it uses the GPU a lot more.

SiVance, LLC has developed a new silicone curative that improves the durable flexibility of epoxy polysiloxane topcoats without sacrificing weather ability. The development of this curative solves a major drawback to epoxy polysiloxanes: brittleness and cracking that develops over time as the coating continues to cure. This new product is called C1008 Curative and is available in commercial quantities. The product is currently registered under TSCA and REACH, with other global approvals in progress. Coatings subjected to a ½ inch mandrel bend test after aging. Sample A: Commercial epoxy polysiloxane shows cracking and delamination after only 1 week aging. Sample B: The same commercial epoxy polysiloxane modified with C1008 Curative passes the bend test after aging for 1 year.
C1008 Curative utilizes a proprietary structure that provides enhanced compatibility in epoxy systems. The product is fully miscible with hydrogenated bisphenol-A epoxy resins. Compatibilization of C1008 in other epoxy resins is possible with the use of solvents (MEK, xylenes, etc.) or reactive diluents.

Set in the latter half of the 18th century, Age of Reason (a.k.a. Zeitalter der Vernunft) makes players take on the role of regents for Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Prussia, Austria and Russia who want to increase their home country's power in Europe while simultaneously establishing colonial empires in Africa, India and the Western Hemisphere.
One country working on its own will not be able to achieve its goals, so players must take part in shifting alliances, with whose help they hope to achieve their plans - or at least stave off direct competition from a potential enemy.
While Age of Reason can be played with only two players with the existing rules, the publisher recommends against this.
Despite having a similar alliance system and game boards that resemble one another almost exactly, Spielworxx' Uli Blennemann has clarified some differences between Age of Reason and Struggle of Empires:
• Instead of armies, fleets, forts, and control pieces, players now have only control pieces that represent a "presence". Armies and fleets are represented by cards – with each player having a set of cards – that can be played during a battle by paying the monetary cost.
• All of the tiles in SoE have been replaced with a display in the lower-right section of the game board that includes spaces for advancements, support and trade. A player places a piece in a certain location to show that he has a particular advantage, which makes a player's abilities easier to notice and plan for during the game, especially with a large group.
• The player turn sequence is simpler and more straightforward, with a player first placing one of his pieces in an empty spot on the display, then conducting one attack. No purchsing of units, no movement, no colonization, etc.
Says Blennemann, "Is Age of Reason a better game? I can't answer this. To my mind it is the faster, more elegant and more modern game – plus it has much better graphics. It retains Martin's brilliant alliance system."

Article: Wnt/ -Catenin Small-Molecule Inhibitor CWP232228 Preferentially Inhibits the Growth of Breast Cancer Stem-like Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) are resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiation, which may destroy tumor masses but not all BCSC that can mediate relapses. In the present study, we showed that the level of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in BCSC is relatively higher than in bulk tumor cells, contributing to a relatively higher level of therapeutic resistance. We designed a highly potent small molecule inhibitor, CWP232228, which antagonizes binding of β-catenin to TCF in the nucleus. Notably, although CWP232228 inhibited the growth of both BCSC and bulk tumor cells by inhibiting β-catenin-mediated transcription, BCSC exhibited greater growth inhibition than bulk tumor cells. We also documented evidence of greater insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) expression by BCSC than by bulk tumor cells, and that CWP232228 attenuated IGF-I mediated BCSC functions. These results suggested that the inhibitory effect of CWP232228 on BCSC growth might achieved through the disruption of IGF-I activity. Taken together, our findings indicate that CWP232228 offers a candidate therapeutic agent for breast cancer that preferentially targets BCSC as well as bulk tumor cells.

Article: Effects of Smad3 linker and C-tail phosphorylation on tumorigenesis and metastasis in breast cancer cell lines.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Smad3, a major intracellular mediator of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling, functions as both a positive and negative regulator in carcinogenesis. In response to TGF-β, the TGF-β receptor phosphorylates serine residues at the Smad3 C-tail. Cancer cells often contain high levels of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) activities, which can lead to the Smad3 linker region becoming highly phosphorylated. Here, we report, for the first time, that mutation of the Smad3 linker phosphorylation sites markedly inhibited primary tumor growth, but significantly increased lung metastasis of breast cancer cell lines. In contrast, mutation of the Smad3 C-tail phosphorylation sites had the opposite effect. We show that mutation of the Smad3 linker phosphorylation sites greatly intensifies all TGF-β-induced responses, including growth arrest, apoptosis, reduction in the size of putative cancer stem cell population, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and invasive activity. Moreover, all TGF-β responses were completely lost on mutation of the Smad3 C-tail phosphorylation sites. Our results demonstrate a critical role of the counterbalance between the Smad3 C-tail and linker phosphorylation in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Our findings have important implications for therapeutic intervention of breast cancer.
Article: PTEN Loss-Mediated Akt Activation Increases the Properties of Cancer Stem-Like Cell Populations in Prostate Cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: To demonstrate that the PTEN/PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway plays an important role in regulating the prostate cancer stem-like cell population by upregulating ABCG2. Methods: Targeted PTEN knockdown in human prostate DU145 and 22Rv1 cells using a small interfering RNA were confirmed by immunoblot analysis using antibodies of PTEN, phospho-Akt, Akt, and α-tubulin. Knockdown PTEN DU145 and 22Rv1 cells were augmented, and the stem cell-like properties were examined by cell viability and tumor sphere formation and treated by Akt IV inhibitor to provide the signal transduction pathway. Luciferase activity assays were performed. Results: The knockdown of PTEN in prostate cancer cell lines increased the stem-like properties of the cells, including their sphere-forming ability, stem cell population number, epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related gene expression, and ABCG2 expression. Additionally, PTEN expression was highly associated with elevated expression of phospho-Akt. Treatment with an Akt inhibitor suppressed the PTEN-mediated effects on the properties of these stem-like cells as well as drug resistance, ABCG2 expression, and the NF-κB pathway. Conclusion: The loss of PTEN in prostate cancer cells resulted in an increased PI3K/Akt pathway. Due to the Akt activation, PTEN loss may play an important role in prostate cancer by promoting cancer stemness through a mechanism that involves enhanced NF-κB signaling.
Article: High Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Activity Enhances Stem Cell Features in Breast Cancer Cells by Activating Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-2α[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: High aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity has been recognized as a marker of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in breast cancer. In this study, we examined whether inhibition of ALDH activity suppresses stem-like cell properties in a 4T1 syngeneic mouse model of breast cancer. We found that ALDH-positive 4T1 cells showed stem cell-like properties in vitro and in vivo. Blockade of ALDH activity reduced the growth of CSCs in breast cancer cell lines. Treatment of mice with the ALDH inhibitor diethylaminobenzaldehyde (DEAB) significantly suppressed 4T1 cell metastasis to the lung. Recent evidence suggests that ALDH affects the response of stem cells to hypoxia; therefore, we examined a possible link between ALDH and hypoxia signaling in breast cancer. Hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) was highly dysregulated in ALDH-positive 4T1 cells. We observed that ALDH was highly correlated with the HIF-2α expression in breast cancer cell lines and tissues. DEAB treatment of breast cancer cells reduced the expression of HIF-2αin vitro. In addition, reduction of HIF-2α expression suppressed in vitro self-renewal ability and in vivo tumor initiation in ALDH-positive 4T1 cells. Therefore, our findings may provide the evidence necessary for exploring a new strategy in the treatment of breast cancer.
Article: Inhibition of Wnt1 expression reduces the enrichment of cancer stem cells in a mouse model of breast cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Breast cancer is the leading cause of deaths from cancer in women. Cancer recurrence is the most common cause of mortality in breast cancer patients. The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis proposes that CSCs are the center of cancer development and recurrence. Targeting CSCs, in combination with standard chemotherapy, may prevent cancer recurrence and improve long-term survival. Stem cells can be enriched in non-adherent sphere cultures. To identify molecular targets in breast CSCs, we evaluated the transcription levels of stem cell-related genes in 4T1 mouse mammary cancer cells grown as spheres or in a monolayer culture. The most differentially expressed gene was found to be wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 1 (Wnt1) in the 4T1 sphere culture. Functionally, knockdown of Wnt1 in breast cancer cell lines suppressed the in vitro properties of the stem-like cells, including their sphere-forming ability and ALDH activity, whereas the addition of recombinant Wnt1 to breast cancer cell lines enhanced the in vitro properties of these stem-like cells. In addition, knockdown of Wnt1 in 4T1 cells affected the properties of the stem-like cells in vivo, including their tumorigenic potential and tumor initiation ability. Collectively, these results suggest that Wnt1 expression may give rise to the properties of CSCs in breast tumors. Therefore, targeting Wnt1-associated signaling proteins may provide an effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of advanced breast cancer.
Article: Dysadherin expression promotes the motility and survival of human breast cancer cells by AKT activation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: High dysadherin expression has been recognized as a biological predictor of metastasis and poor prognosis for many different cancer types; however, the molecular mechanisms of how dysadherin affects cancer progression are still poorly understood. In this study, we examined whether AKT signaling could link dysadherin expression with downstream events that promote the metastatic potential of human breast cancer cells. Immunohistochemical analysis of breast cancer tissues showed that dysadherin expression was highly associated with elevated expression of phospho-AKT. The introduction of dysadherin cDNA into BT-474, MCF-7 and T-47D breast cancer cell lines enhanced their levels of AKT phosphorylation, while knockdown of dysadherin in MDA-MB-231 and Hs578T breast cancer cell lines suppressed AKT phosphorylation. Treatment with the AKT inhibitor triciribine suppressed dysadherin-mediated pro-metastatic effects, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition, cell motility and drug resistance. These findings suggest that dysadherin might contribute to breast cancer progression through AKT activation. (Cancer Sci, doi: 10.1111/j.1349-7006.2012.02302.x, 2012).
Article: Inhibitor of DNA-binding 4 contributes to the maintenance and expansion of cancer stem cells in 4T1 mouse mammary cancer cell line[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis proposes that CSCs are the root of cancer. CSC-targeted therapies may prevent cancer relapse and provide more effective treatment. The expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1, as assessed by the Aldefluor assay, has been recognized as a marker of CSCs in breast cancer. Inhibitors of DNA-binding proteins (IDs) have an important role in stem cell differentiation. In this study, we examined IDs necessary for the regulation of stem properties in Aldefluor(pos) 4T1 cells. When the expression profile of IDs in Aldefluor(neg) and Aldefluor(pos) 4T1 cells was compared, qRT-PCR analysis showed that ID4 expression was highly upregulated in Aldefluor(pos) 4T1 cells. In addition, knockdown of ID4 expression suppressed the properties of CSCs, including their sphere-forming ability and side population phenotype. The findings suggest that ID4 may be a therapeutic target for the treatment of advanced breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis proposes that CSCs are responsible for metastasis and disease recurrence. Therefore, targeting CSCs has the potential to significantly improve outcomes for cancer patients. The OCT4 transcription factor gene is a master gene that plays a key role in the self-renewal and pluripotency of stem cells. In this study, we introduced an OCT4 reporting vector into 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells and sorted OCT4 high and OCT4 low cell populations. We then determined whether OCT4 expression is associated with maintenance and expansion of CSCs. We found that OCT4(high) 4T1 cells have an increased ability to form tumorsphere and a high expression of stem cell markers such as Sca-1, CD133, CD34, and ALDH1, when compared with OCT4(low) 4T1 cells. In addition, OCT4(high) 4T1 cells have greater tumorigenic potential in vivo. These findings suggest that OCT4 expression may be a useful target for stem cell-specific cancer therapy.
Article: Abstract 4244: Dysadherin can enhance tumorigenesis through conferring properties of stem-like cells to hepatocellular carcinoma cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with a high potential for metastasis and disease recurrence, even after surgical resection. The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis proposes that CSCs are responsible for chemo-resistance, recurrence, and metastasis. Dysadherin is a prognostic indicator of metastasis and poor survival in many different cancer types. In this study, we investigated the possible link between dysadherin and CSC in HCC. We analyzed the functional implications of dysadherin on cancer stemness by modification of the dysadherin gene in HCC cell lines. The transfection of dysadherin cDNA into the liver cancer cell line PLC/PRF/5 enhanced the properties of CSCs, including anti-apoptosis, their sphere-forming ability, side population phenotype, and tumor initiation ability in vivo. Furthermore, knockdown of dysadherin in the liver cancer cell line SK-Hep1 suppressed its stem cell-like properties. These results show that dysadherin give rise to properties of CSC in HCC. Therefore, these findings suggest that dysadherin may be a potential molecular prognostic marker of HCC and may aid in the development of more effective therapies.
Article: Ras activation contributes to the maintenance and expansion of Sca-1pos cells in a mouse model of breast cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis proposes that CSCs are the root of cancer and cause cancer metastasis and recurrence. In this study, we examined whether Ras signaling is associated with stemness of the CSCs population characterized by the stem cell antigen (Sca-1) phenotype in a 4T1 syngeneic mouse model of breast cancer. The Sca-1(pos) putative CSCs had high levels of activated Ras and phosphorylated MEK (p-MEK), compared with counterparts. The Ras farnesylation inhibitor (FTI-277) suppressed the maintenance and expansion of CSCs. Therefore, selective inhibition of Ras activation may be useful for stem-specific cancer therapy.

New York City is made up of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each one has enough attractions—and enough personality—to be a city all its own. Learn more about them with this guide.
Long schoolroom tables, vintage photos of schoolkids and a menu written on a chalkboard hark back to when MoMA PS1 actually was a public school. Museum admission is not required to eat here. Quebecois chef Hugue Dufour has such a cult following that M. Wells Dinette is a destination for chowhounds from near and far. Because of having to keep to the museum's hours, the ever-changing, somewhat limited menu straddles brunch, lunch and dinner, and ranges from accessible (French onion soup, French toast) to bold (escargot and bone marrow, beef tongue drizzled with aioli, a cube of blood pudding seasoned with Christmasy spices over bacon-cabbage stew). The wine list includes French and Moroccan varietals, with specials, or "wine treats," listed on the board.

Ellis plans return to Warriors
Updated: January 23, 2009, 3:56 PM ETAssociated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Monta Ellis will be in uniform for the Golden State Warriors on Friday night for the first time this season when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Warriors (13-30) decided after Thursday's practice to welcome back Ellis, who has missed the entire season while recovering from a sprained left ankle sustained five months ago in an accident on a motorized scooter.
Ellis has been back at practice for two weeks with the Warriors, who suspended him for 30 games without ...

sies/willis duo
Over the past few years, I've had the great privilege of playing a great deal with percussionist Chris Sies, in formats varying from doom metal to Wuorinen to free improvisation. We've just recently began exploring the duo format, and this has been a nearly effortless endeavor. We've recorded several videos of improvisations, and here is the first one.
album release!
Today I celebrate the release of my solo bass album, Egret/Flatlander, with a performance at Walker's Point Center for the Arts. It should prove to be a wonderful time, and I will be joined with the other marvelous acts of the PaVda duo (stellar improvisers Hal Rammel and Linda Binder) and the new-music/improvisation tour-de-force Tontine Ensemble.
Egret/Flatlander is now available through Bandcamp!
worldly cats
I recently put my amateur design skills and enthusiasm for libraries and cats to use, creating conjecturally updated logos for OCLC WorldCat. The commission came from the nascent Twitter snarkivists @RogueArchivists, who you can follow for more commentary on the state of things in that world (cat).
gloom in the womb
A very exciting project that has come to exist over the past year or so is Gloom in the Womb, my improvisational duo with bassist Betsy Soukup. This past June, we presented at the International Society of Improvised Music Conference in New York City, and this October, we will be performing in the 18th annual Edgefest in Ann Arbor. We finally have some video to show you, the waiting public, so I thought now would be as good a time as any to pen a post.
I also occasionally have the great privilege of side-manning it with Betsy to perform her songs, in a somewhat atypical band arrangement, but one that we find quite effective. Here are a few of her songs, performed with Chris Sies on the drums.
updates! WI!
It's been quite a while since I've posted anything! This spring I was caught up finishing my Master's degree at the University of Michigan. So now I'm a master, if anyone needs one.
kong must dead
I'm in Chicago, playing in the premiere live performance of composer Ben Hjertmann's psychedelic pop project, Kong Must Dead. I'm really psyched to be a part of these pieces--we're in the process of recording the album, also.
Splitting the bill with composerElliot Cole!
Show is tonight at Constellation, which is also a venue I've been hearing about often recently, so I'm really excited to finally see it.
split cassette! collaboratively hip
This past weekend I made a whirlwind trip to Wisconsin to play two shows with Lovely Socialite Mrs. Thomas W. Phipps to release our split tape with Cincinnati group, Us, Today. The shows were a blast, and now the tape is available online through Mine All Mine Records!
ulysses/to begin: new releases!
Two new albums that I'm extremely proud to be a part of have been released recently!
Kirsten Carey's Ulysses Project was released last week at a successful release show at Kerrytown Concert House.
It can be bought/streamed through a few different avenues, but the best is her Bandcamp page:
The same night as Kirsten's release show in Ann Arbor, there was a concert at the Stoughton Opera House in WI celebrating the release of Dietrich Gosser's Oh to Begin! You can pre-order VINYL copies of this new album, and stream/buy it here:
newmusicbox bang
Zach Herchen, a fellow Bang-on-a-Can-er, wrote this brief recap article for NewMusicBox!
In the video below, I can be seen in many snippets, including playing some brake drums for David Lang's cheating,lying,stealing, and in the impromptu sing-along at the end with our guerilla-style indie band, Compartment Building, and many in between.
banging on cans!
I'm still in recovery mode from spending 3 of the best weeks of my life at the Bang on a Can Festival at MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA. It was pretty much the ideal life: spending all day playing weird, new music in a contemporary art museum.
Above, I'm preparing to play Amanda Schoofs' piece, Fragility of Permanence underneath the breathtaking phoenix sculptures by Xu Bing.
A really gracious and talented group of musicians agreed to play my piece, touch, in a gallery recital. Here we are playing amongst early Sol LeWitt.
From left to right, the ensemble is:
Stephanie Richards, trumpet
Lina Andonovska, flute
Adrianne Pope, violin
Ted Babcock, vibraphone
Jacob Abele, toy piano
Chuck Furlong, bass clarinet
Doug Machiz, cello

- Publisher's Summary
- There is a void in the literature on how to conduct research in the finance and economics of higher education. Students, professors, and practitioners have no concise document that examines the field, provides history, definitions of terms, sources of data, and research methods. Higher Education Finance Research: Policy, Politics, and Practice fills that void. The book is structured in four parts. The first section provides a brief history and description of the general organization of American higher education, the sources and uses of funds over the last 100 years, and who is served in what types of institutions. Definitions of terms that are unique to higher education are provided, and some basic rules for conducting research on the economics and finance of higher education are established. Although in some ways, conducting research in higher education funding is similar to that for elementary/secondary education, there are some important distinctions that also are provided. The second section introduces guiding philosophies, sources of data, data elements/vocabulary, metrics, and analytics related to institutional revenues and expenditures. Chapters in this section focus on student oriented revenues, institutionally-oriented revenues, and funding formulas. The third section introduces accountability-related concepts by first examining the accountability movement in higher education and performance-based approaches applied in budgeting and funding, then looking at methods to determine public and private returns on investment in postsecondary education, and closing with an examination of finance from the perspective of the primary consumer: students. The fourth and last section of the book focuses on presenting postsecondary finance research to policy audiences to assist in connecting academic research and policy making. Chapters focus on accounting for time considerations in analysis, the placing of data in context to make the data and findings relevant, and ways to effectively communicate findings to various policy-making audiences.

2 Hulk 2 Furious by logicfunWatch

Never ever pull hulk's lever.
Not sure I like how veiny and roided out he looks , but I can't argue with the skill. Nice work!
stunning detail! great fucking job dude!
AMAZING job !
Amazing, he is my one and only favorite Marvel hero... Now that is how Hulk should look! Always hated to see some artists draw his muscles smaller than Juggs. But this Hulk has a ton pounds of pure muscles and the color brings it to life. Very nice choice of green hue, and the sky accentuate the feeling Hulk is really jumping out of the canvass. Awesome!
Absolutely love it !
the muscleparty...verygood done
Love the skintone.
Really like the dust his foot crashing down has created, awesome little touches like that are what make your work a pleasure to see time and again
thanks a lot,i'm happy someone see this detail
superb work!

Limitations to Robo Calls May be Forthcoming
A Federal Trade Commission proposal likely going into effect in January will prohibit telemarketers from making "robo calls" to any customer -- unless a customer gives written permission to do so.
It is impossible to tell if this is a long-planned development, a product of Barack Obama getting serious, or a result of Mother Jones' strenuous coverage of the issue. I think we all know the answer.
Mother Jones encourages readers to sign in with Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Disqus, or OpenID to comment. Please read our comment policy before posting.

As for BB abusing people they are only selling products at the manufacturer's suggested retail so if anyone is abusing customers it is the manufacturers. Also, consumers have the freedom to choose to shop at BB or not and to pay retail or shop for a better deal which I always do. Some people are simply too lazy to shop around or look for deals. I know too many of those folks and they are simply happy to pay for convenience even if it is at retail so you cannot say BB is ripping people off. I am not defending BB either because I only buy things there when I find the price is better than online or if I had to have it today instead of waiting for delivery. Either way in the end you, I, and everyone have the right to shop or not shop at BB.

Pollen limitation or mate search need not induce an Allee effect
Stewart-Cox, J. A., Britton, N. F. and Mogie, M., 2005. Pollen limitation or mate search need not induce an Allee effect. Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 67 (5), pp. 1049-1079.
Related documents:This repository does not currently have the full-text of this item.
You may be able to access a copy if URLs are provided below.
When a process modelling the availability of gametes is included explicitly in population models a critical depensation or Allee effect usually results. Non-spatial models cannot describe clumping and so small populations must be assumed very diffuse. Consequently individuals in small populations experience low contact rates and so reproduction is limited. In Nature invasions into new territory are unlikely to be as diffuse as those described by non-spatial models. We develop pair approximations to a probabilistic cellular automata model with independent pollination and seed setting processes (equivalently mate search and reproduction processes). Each process can be either global (population-wide) or local (within a small neighbourhood) or a mixture of the two. When either process is global the resulting model recaptures the Allee effect found in non-spatial models. However, if both processes are at least partially local we obtain a model in which Allee effects can be avoided altogether if individuals are suitably strong pollinators and colonisers. The Allee effect disappears because small populations are dramatically more clumped when colonisation is local and less wasteful of pollen when pollination is local.

Not The Time For Internal Bickering
by Paul on 08/28/09 at 10:33 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Stephen Brunt of the Globe and Mail,
There are suggestions that Kelly is in trouble for not taking a hard enough line (suggesting in one interview, for instance, that his job in the next contract negotiation was to avoid a lockout rather than to secure the best possible deal for the players). But many people inside and outside the NHLPA's membership are pointing fingers directly at Lindros (and his parents) now, suggesting that he is the driving force behind what appears to be a budding insurrection.
Hockey fans can be forgiven for not caring about any of that. Battles among millionaires don't exactly tug at the heartstrings, especially at a time of real economic woes for real people.
But that said, anyone who is interested in a resolution of the Phoenix debacle that would result in a seventh NHL franchise in Canada, or who would like the pros to continue playing in the Olympic Games after 2010, has a vested interest in who is leading the PA.

Trouble In NHLPA Land?

from Darren Dreger of TSN,
NHLPA executive director Paul Kelly, who has been on the job less than two years, is facing intense scrutiny according to union sources and his status may be challenged when the Players' Association's 30-member executive committee convenes Sunday and Monday in Chicago at a regularly scheduled meeting.
Sources tell TSN that NHLPA interim ombudsman, Buzz Hargrove, is expected to make a presentation to the committee identifying concerns within the association about Kelly's leadership. No details have emerged about the nature of the concerns.
Sources say it's possible the executive committee could vote to have Kelly removed and, in accordance with the NHLPA constitution, could do so without consent from the full membership of NHL players.

Kelly Believes Hossa Contract Valid
by Paul on 08/18/09 at 06:46 PM ET

from Tim Sassone of the Chicago Daily-Herald,
Paul Kelly, executive director of the NHL Players Association, said he would be surprised if the investigation of Marian Hossa's contract with the Blackhawks resulted in a ruling against the team.
"Based upon everything that we know, those contracts are perfectly valid and proper under the terms of the (collective bargaining agreement)," Kelly said, speaking Tuesday at the USA Hockey Olympic camp in Woodridge.

It's died down a bit and I think you've seen some GMs show restraint and patience, but there's still been some big deals out there. I think once the [Dany] Heatley situation is resolved too, you will see more trades and signings as well as when camp gets closer, teams will need to address cap issues and fill out rosters. It will heat up soon."

Hockey Canada Says Insurance Issues Are Cleared Up
by Paul on 08/12/09 at 08:45 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Vicki Hall of the Calgary Herald via the National Post,
As far as Hockey Canada is concerned, the issue of insurance coverage for the country's best players has a giant check mark beside it.
"Everything is fine," Johnny Misley, Hockey Canada's vice-president of hockey operations, said regarding the controversy over insurance coverage for NHLplayers attending the upcoming orientation camp for potential 2010 Olympic team members.
"We have secured insurance to help protect the players - given the low risk there is - to give them peace of mind."
Peace of mind doesn't describe the mindsets of the NHL or NHL Players' Association - at least judging by recent public comments regarding the camp.
added 7:50pm, Icethetics may have the first pictures of what the Team Canada sweater may look like for 2010.

Escrow & Kessel Talk
by Paul on 08/09/09 at 08:14 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe,
• Revenues for 2008-09 have yet to be finalized. But based on current projections, players will earn only 85-87 percent of their contracts because of escrow. For example, Alex Ovechkin, due $9 million in 2008-09, would take home $7.65 million in pre-tax earnings. For 2009-10, escrow could become even more significant to make up for any revenue shortfalls. The 2009-10 figure hasn't been set yet, but some agents are informing their clients that 20 percent of their salaries could be tucked away via escrow. "You always err on the side of caution,'' said Andrew Ference, the Bruins' player representative….
• For those fretting about Phil Kessel remaining unsigned, remember that there is no rush for either side to put pen to paper. The 21-year-old forward might not be ready to play until December because of rehabilitation following shoulder surgery. Kessel can continue his rehab and see if the Bruins sputter at the start, which could put pressure on the club to lock him up….

If the NHL truly believed the Olympics were important, that the quadrennial tournament was an important marketing platform for the NHL and its players, the league wouldn't play cutesy with the orientation camp insurance. They would expand the clauses in the collective bargaining agreement that ensures players' contracts are guaranteed during international play, including the Olympic tournament to include the camps. End of story.

Players Urged To Purchase Insurance For Olympic Training Camps
by Paul on 08/05/09 at 10:38 PM ET
Comments (0)
from CTV Olympics,
The NHL Players' Association is recommending that players who participate in Olympic orientation camps this summer "seriously consider" purchasing additional insurance coverage in the event of injury because their contracts do not cover activities at the camps.
"The league has taken the position that our members' Standard Player Contracts (SPC) will not cover activities at the Orientation Camps, and that they will therefore be participating at their own risk," said Paul Kelly, NHLPA executive director, in a statement.
"Following discussions with Hockey Canada and USA Hockey, they have recently agreed to increase the insurance coverage they are providing to our members invited to their Orientation Camps," he continued.
"Unfortunately the federations' insurance coverage is still very limited."

I suggest using Kobo Reader instead of Kindle, as Kobo sells ebooks in ePub format, the same format as iBooks uses for normal ebooks.
In contrast Amazon sells in their own proprietary format, so you will always have to convert (forbidden?) when changing your ebook software or hardware and want to keep your books.
Using Kobo gives you ePubs and when - or better, if - Apple provides a much needed desktop reader app you hopefully can read your already bought ePubs without much hazzle.
Think B&N also does ePubs, like most of the other ebook stores out there.
Also prefer DRM-free if you have the choice.

If your book is DRM-free, you don't have to worry about any of this. Kindle provides reader apps for everything, its format is not a problem. If your book does have DRM, you need to use the reader for the store where you buy it. iBooks doesn't read Kobo DRM epubs any more than it reads Kindle format.

To all ya:
I think the only way is to install software called "calibre"
it is freeware and it is a tank! it can do a lot. Really good to turn any file into ePub, ePub into PDF, or whatever you want.

Unfortunately neither Calibre nor any other app will read paid-for ebooks from the iBookstore with DRM (or any .ibooks Textbooks), which is what most people want to do and why these threads exist.
There has never been any problem to read epub ebooks without DRM on your Mac or any other platform.
Ranahim Dec 9, 2012 7:01 PM
in response to gingerfrompalm bay
dissagree. I was able to convert, read, and do anything I want in Calibre with any ePub file so far.
I also like to convert ePub files to PDF, than upload them to my Acrobat.com account and read my eTextbooks on iPad with ability to mark text etc. (no edit or changing text). It is useful, because that way it lets me to read the same, marked text, on my MacBook Pro using Acrobat Reader. I'm just opening a PDF file from my acrobat cloud . Then, save that boy on Mac, open on iPad and voilà!
There are 4 ways to read and mark PDFs with Adobe:
-Mac OS
-online at Acrobat.com
have a wonderful evening!

Bashar3A Dec 9, 2012 10:02 PM
in response to Ranahim
Thanks. From your experience, is the book quality good enough compared to original ePub?
Ranahim Dec 10, 2012 6:35 AM
in response to Bashar3A
they look good, but if you trying to do ePub from a PDF file, it converts only text. I converted many PDFs to ePUB using calibre, but they were mostly fiction ebooks. If you have pictures and stuff, calibre will messed the file up. It has some major problem with PDFs. Sometimes what I do is, I'm converting PDF to docx file with Adobe Acrobat Pro, then the docx, I'm saving as HTML file with OpenOffice Writer, and than HTML to ePub with calibre. This is way aroung, but when I have like 10 books to convert, it is worth to spend that extra 10 minutes. Anyway, iBook ssuucks, iTunes ssuucks, I prefer Adobe cloud sync and calibre.
I wrote to calibre support while ago about problem with PDF and they wrote me back it is not their fault, it is just PDF. However I prefer to read books in Adobe Reader, because I have more options and I can sync them and read on my MacBook as well. Also, when using calibre, I can manage, delete, add, eBooks to my iPad without syncing all the time, which is time consuming. It takes like 1-2 minutes to sync iPad with iTunes. When I want to add or delete only 1 eBook, why to do that? No sense. iTunes ssuucks. Check out the latest version of calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/download_osx
they have video tutorials too
Bashar3A Dec 10, 2012 7:04 AM
in response to Ranahim
Thanks for sharing the tips. I just ended up with iBooks as best app, and while most of my eBooks are from other drm-free stores like O'Reilly, I do have to chose between DRM stores like Apple and Amazon sometimes.
dvrraju Dec 24, 2012 4:19 AM
in response to Ranahim
Tom is right about not being able to read ibooks. Have you tried actually tried opening an ibook?
I have (using calibre) and it doesn't work.
Please let me know what I'm missing.
Tom Gewecke Dec 24, 2012 4:57 AM
in response to dvrraju
Ranahim is talking about epub books without DRM, for which there has never been a problem. Everyone else here wants to read ibookstore books with DRM (or even .ibooks textbooks without DRM) on their OS X device, for which there is not yet any app.
Walter Moore Dec 26, 2012 4:31 PM
in response to Mark S Thompson
Amen, Mark. Apple is making a huge mistake by thinking that those of us who have already shelled out for Mac computers will now pay for an iPad merely to read books from iTunes. I read books from Amazon on my Kindle app on my MacBook Pro.
silvermondfee Dec 26, 2012 7:05 PM
in response to gingerfrompalm bay
I agree with everyone. It's an embarrassing failure of Apple to not enable any Macs to read their stuff. I don't have an iPad and refuse to read every single book ONLY on my iPhone. Actually, I read most on my computer. I think I would actually buy quite a few books in the iBooks store since I like the way they display it better than the kindle version. But since I can't read it on my MBA I switched.
But short question: Is there any official way to complain or is it already enough to write in forums like this? And do you guys think that there's a realistic chance of Apple changing this stupid system in 2013?

Ben's my favourite, OBVIOUSLY.

Luke's face...
Oh god he just reminds me of GIR for some reason...
Oh god he just reminds me of GIR for some reason...
Now we are just missing some Vader action!
Sometimes it is the simple and little works which actually bring the greatest impact!
It's nice to think so! It's not what we normally do, but we have so much fun doing these. It's strange how the difference in styles can still make people happy.
Sometimes Sketches and Chibbles show the proverbial face of heroes and villains beyond all propaganda and posturing!!!
I freaking love you guys!

History of name Port Wine Stain, and time for a change?
I have sought out the history for the name 'Port Wine Stain', for this particular vascular birthmark malformation...what I find, is that it originated as a "name" for the appearance, just as other "names" for other birthmarks are based on appearance, such as 'Salmon Patch'.
Before I die, I wish to eliminate this derogatory naming, to use the SWS Types,
possibly, or simply Vascular Malformation, or some such....
After the AP decision to eliminate the term 'illegal immigrants' as a dehumanizing,
inaccurate term, this gave me the idea to approach the AP about eliminating these terms, as well, as they are inaccurate.
None of us has a port wine stain. We have vascular malformations. These are not issues of pigment; these are vascular issues.
This is something I wish to look into, and I wonder what others think?

Olde Ellison Bay Days are said to have been running for 48 consecutive years. Ellison Bay Service Club member, Robert Murray, expounds on what the festival will be doing this year.
Olde Ellison Bay Days will be featuring everything from water golf to the grand parade the weekend of June 27th through the 29th. It's surely a weekend that would be great to mark on the calendar.
