NATIVE PLATFORM INDEPENDENCE THROUGH VIRTUAL OS (DirectOS)
Yet another blog, about a topic that is very important for me right now. After APPLE's recent successes with the Universal Binary concept, coupled with their relentless STOCK MARKET success, and further coupled, with the huge array of platforms, that are at market now, including Windows, Ubuntu, Solaris, Android, iPad, MacOS, PS3, PSP, Xbox360, Wii, 3DS, Windows Mobile, we are VERY much in need of the concept of a "virtual OS" in the video games industry, as well as in the operating system, and mobile device world. A virtual OS, is literally that, it's a lightweight operating system standard, that supports "multi-native" execution, as well as virtual machine emulation (the OS calls themselves, being perhaps all emulated). Developers will finally be able to write applications for this VirtualOS, and receive the full benefits of native execution, and hardware acceleration on supported platforms (supported by compilers) and full access to HAL layers, similar to DirectX. Literally the concept of VirtualOS, is DirectOS, or DirectX + DirectGUI. VirtualOS's applications would come with universal binaries as well as virtual machine code. Full hardware acceleration, supported from DAY1, to allow for VirtualOS to finally give platform DEPENDENCE over to the application, where it can query virtualOS for it's capabilities, and scale itself accordingly.
How is this different than JAVA?? VERY
* Applications / OS calls run native on supported compilers. (Yip, X # of Binaries included)
* Programming language INDEPENDENT!!!!!!!!!
* Supporting virtual OS, similar to supporting a DirectX driver set, like say OPENGL + ASIO
* GUI runs WITHIN a window, allowing complete "OS-USER-GUI's" to be designed ontop of VirtualOS
* Supports NATIVE machine boot modes from DVD (liveCD modes, important for games consoles & new PC's)
* "DirectGUI" very customizable.
* VirtualOS applications optionally can inherit drag and drop style functionality from the HOST OS integration.
Why does this not exist yet Rhys,. honestly,. ummm,... lack of software engineers, and Microsoft or SUN has not done it yet (see universal win64 API)
Basically, what I am saying is that I want my SYNTH video game, and DAMSIN MUSIC MACHINE, and all my other software, ported to VirtualOS, and only VirtualOS, and I want to be able to compile it for POWER, and INTEL, so it can run smoothly, on video game consoles, and home PC, both mac, and Windows based. Without DOING ANYTHING, and virtual OS makes this possible!!! I just don't have software company to do it It really is not THAT much. I tend to think of VirtualOS, as being DirectX+DirectGUI as I mentioned above, with the possible extension of DirectData or DirectNetwork of somekind to support networking, and database. A lot of the historical crap that exists in unix, and windows, just well,. REALLY REALLY REALLY is useless now, for a HUGE sector of the market in Computers, especially when dealing with BIG APPLE. Times have changed. It's quite frankly getting out of hand with ARM, and SPARK, and POWER, and AMD64. VirtualOS is an ideal way to make people FORGET about your "unmonopolized" hardware standards.
I personally think that this is in IBM's best interest, and with their current level of involvement with video games, could be a great time to jump in.
Here's the bottom line for me, I want virtualOS, to be able to handle "Call of Duty", and thereby satisfy ADOBE, e-magic, Steinberg, SUN, IBM, and many others. A few tiny functions in emulated execution mode, won't stop this, after all, it's ALL application, and 3D driver code. I think that video games is the best place to start with virtualOS, as customers, as they will show that the need for a "universal DirectOS" is the way to go now. I'm pretty sure that APPLE would agree, as they often change their OS and GUI, but VirtualOS can remain the same, literally, an GUI-OS, in a window is possible, it's conceivable to have Windows, is now a VirtualWindows application that runs on many platforms, all through the implementation of the low level device drivers. As usual, attention has to be paid to AUDIO ,. no pokie ATARI chips here!!!
I'll be WAITING IN MY OFFICE!!! Pounding the desk, saying VIRTUALOS, VIRTUALOS!!! We here at Rhys Hovey games, now have 15 platforms to support We'd rather write 5 device drivers / platform OURSELVES even.

The hill practices officially began! 6 more weeks of them to go! They are definitely tough, but I know they are good for me. It's hard to condense a 20 minute workout explanation into a few sentences, but I will try.
For endurance running, rather than racing up hills, you want to be efficient, you don't want to expend so much energy that you die later on. You want to maintain a consistent effort level whether you are going up, down or flat. So you pace might be slower on the hill, but you effort will be the same.
Here are a few tips from my coach on being as efficient as possible while running hills aka don't waste energy:
- Keep your back straight, don't hunch at the waist, this shortens your legs range of motion and activates lower back and hip muscles, which can become strained.
- Run with your elbows back and arms almost parallel to the ground. If you just concentrate on swinging your elbows back at a fairly fast pace, your feet will follow with short fast strides.
- Shorten your strides, short fast strides up the hill will keep you from having to lift your legs high to take long strides while going up.
Our workout was simple, run from the Boat House up Cat Hill to the stop light and recover back. Do this loop until the you are told you can stop.
We warmed up to the boathouse, and since I was "warming up" with Frank, I was running under a 9 minute mile. When we got to the Boat House, a major protest was going on, which made things a bit more interesting.
Then we pushed up the hill concentrating on form and technique. At almost every lap one of the coaches would run with us and critique our form.
I made it just past Cat Hill before I got caught.
I learned that I hunch forward and I really have to concentrate on straightening my back and opening up the chest. I did this and immediately it made it easier to breath. I realize that I need to work on my posture all the time, not just while running. It actually took a lot of effort to concentrate on staying tall the whole practice, but it made a big difference.
Once we got to the stoplight, we ran slowly down the hill. By my third or fourth lap, I was really starting to tense in my neck, shoulder and arms, so the coach helped me focus on relaxing and just using the elbows, this really increased my speed.
We stopped after about 40 minutes and cooled down to the mall.
I feel like there are so many none running things I need to do to become a better runner and I only have so much time, stretching, strengthening the back, working on balance, it's a little overwhelming!

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) -- Columbus leaders are breathing a sigh of relief after Army officials spared Fort Benning from troop cuts.
The post hosts 3,850 soldiers and 3,200 civilian employees. It was unclear during the realignment process whether the military would keep those jobs.
A coalition of city leaders met with Army officials, urging them to keep the base's workforce.
The group argued that taxpayers and the local community had invested too heavily in Fort Benning to scale back its operations now. Chamber of Commerce President Mike Gaymon told the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer that the decision over Fort Benning was the region's "most important economic development opportunity."

The Importance of Deep Learning
Though many students take a surface approach to learning, applying the power of a deep-learning perspective can foster true success.
Image: LightningVolt_Deep_Blue_Sea.jpg Courtesy Lars Lentz (on Wikipedia)
The college experience can seem like a series of hoops: you jump through one, only to encounter another just ahead. Researchers have studied the impact of this perspective and found that it often results in superficial retention of material rather than long-term learning (Warren, 2004). If you have been taking a short-term, "hoops" approach to your studies, now is the time to explore the power of the deep!
Deep Learning vs. Surface Learning
The terms "deep learning" and "surface learning" have evolved as scholars study student and teacher attitudes in education. According to experts at the University of Oxford, for example, the general characteristics of deep learning are aligned with developing a Growth Mentality and Learning for the Right Reason. Further, deep learning can profoundly influence other aspects of your life.
Lublin (2003) contrasts the differences between the surface and deep approaches to learning:
|Students Who Take a Deep Approach--
|Students Who Take a Surface Approach--
So What?
Although most students apply both deep- and surface-learning paradigms, clearly the deep-learning route is prerequisite to serious progress. Students who approach education from a deep-learning perspective make significant improvements, remember what they learn, and feel empowered to make a difference. Those who take a surface approach to learning may get good grades, but they rarely benefit much in the long term.
Now that you are better acquainted with these two learning approaches, consider which one you use more often. In what ways can you cultivate deep learning this semester? How can you limit the areas in which you generally take a surface approach? Please write your comments in the box below.

nursing homes
Get to Know the
"Long-Term Care" Environment
Nursing home care is guaranteed to challenge your optometric and creative skills.
BY DOUGLAS STREIFEL, O.D.,Greenwood Village, Colo.
The primary goal for those involved in nursing home care should always be to provide the highest quality of care. It should be no different than what we strive for in our private or commercial setting practices. When I'm working at a facility, I often hear staff say to the residents, "The eye doctor is here. Do you want to get glasses?" This idea is far from what actually occurs at these exams. I see many more patients who have eye health concerns than who just need glasses.
They have problems
In most private practices, the majority of patients are refractive cases (unless you're in a more specialized setting). While a refraction is a part of every eye exam in a nursing home, the majority of patients exhibit one or more ocular pathologies. People commonly use the term "nursing home" instead of the more accurate name, long-term care center.
Residents are people who are unable to live on their own secondary to health issues or who need 24-hour care. Typically these are the elderly, in which the common ocular conditions are macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.
Yet it isn't unusual to see residents in these homes who are under the age of 65. These are people commonly suffering from multiple sclerosis, long-standing, uncontrolled type-I diabetes mellitus, traumatic brain injuries, incapacitating health issues and psychiatric conditions. All of these people need your training in ocular disease, geriatrics, special populations and general optometry.
The patients are often challenging and just taking a case history can prove difficult, especially from those who have advanced dementia or Alzheimer's disease. You must often base exam findings entirely on objective testing, which is often difficult with poor head position and marginal cooperation. Patients suffering from Tardive
dyskinesia, for example, have jerking motions that won't allow them to remain stationary for more than a few seconds.
Here's what you'll need
Nursing home care is probably one of the most challenging modes of optometry -- one that requires all of your technical and creative skills. The following are skills and characteristics that are helpful in this practice setting.
Background requirements. Because of the breadth of knowledge needed, eye care in a long-term care facility requires a strong optometric background. Although there aren't any training requirements, ocular disease residency training is recommended and beneficial. Being confident and comfortable in managing and treating ocular disease is required because this is a routine part of the patient care. This also includes being certified to treat therapeutically at the highest level allowed. Knowledge of low vision and experience with special populations is also beneficial.
Equipment. In a regular practice setting, all of the equipment is fairly large and for the most part stationary. When working in a nursing home, however, the equipment needs to be portable yet adequate to provide a complete and thorough examination.
Probably the largest piece of equipment needed is the
lensometer; everything else should be hand held. A retinoscope is an essential piece because objective data is most reliable.
Additional refractive instruments include a trial lens set and skiascopy bars, which will enable an adequate refraction. Optionally, a hand held autorefractor may be of use, but the
retino-scope can generally give as good data, especially in most of the more challenging patients.
Equipment needed for the ocular health assessment includes a slit lamp instrument for the anterior segment, a direct ophthalmoscope and a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope for the posterior segment. As glaucoma is common, you should include either a tonopen or a Perkins
tonometer. To perform comprehensive examinations, a supply of diagnostic pharmaceuticals, such as those used in a conventional practice, is needed.
As for therapeutic pharmaceuticals, these are generally available in the nursing home facilities. I do, however, recommend an acute angle closure kit. If you provide glasses to the residents, then you should include an inventory of frames for them to choose from.
Nurses are your friends
Generally, the point of contact in the facility is the social services department. In most instances, social services will coordinate all in-house ancillary health specialties such as eye care, podiatry, dental and
audiology. The department will assign a room for the exams unless a patient is unable to leave his room.
The nursing staff is the direct link for interaction when managing patients' ocular health. The nurses administer the medications, follow through on orders with the primary care provider (PCP) and interact with the patients daily. Their job is to monitor and support the general health of the residents. Unfortunately, people sometimes view eye care as a secondary priority.
Many times patients are already on 20 or more medications and treatments throughout the day, so adding artificial tears every hour won't win the hearts and minds of the nurses. Adjusting normal prescribing regimens to a less frequent dosage and a longer lasting delivery facilitates improved patient care without overtaxing what may be a thin staff. Equally important is educating the nursing staff as to why patients need treatment. The PCP manages every patient in the facility under his care. When writing an order for a new medication, the nursing staff contacts the PCP for approval.
A patient's medical chart contains all her orders, meds and history and the practitioner needs to review this information before a patient encounter, so a good understanding of medical charting as well as medications is needed.
How to get paid
In private practice, insurance payers are playing a larger part every year, but the private pay patient still exists. In a nursing facility, 99.9% of patients are seen through an insurance payer. While Medicare and Medicaid do provide coverage for many, this can vary from facility to facility. Many have a high percentage of managed care providers for the administration of Medicare or may have HMO providers. The managed care panels that serve this population are generally different than those in private practice; you need to join them. As in private practice, most HMO payers don't pay outside of their network nor do they allow access to their panel. In these cases, private pay may be the only alternative.
The coding used for nursing home care differs from private practice as it's nursing-home specific; the codes used are primarily the medical billing codes. As for billing, the simplest approach is to bill the nursing facility, which can do the insurance billing and pay directly. Alternately, direct the billing to the insurer. The billing can vary greatly from state to state depending on Medicaid or other insurers.
Networks are a necessity
Providing medical-based exams generates a lot of referrals, so a good consultation network should be in place. An example is Omni Eye Specialists here in Denver, which provides all the ophthalmic specialties needed in one location to minimize patient travel. Good communication with the consult network is a must. Patients' charts may only contain a notation regarding an appointment, making a consult report providing detailed findings and treatment plan essential.
Because the PCP must approve all consultation orders, carefully follow through with your recommended referring orders and perform them at the next visit. The PCP may decline an order if a patient's health declines or if the PCP chooses to work with another specialist in the area.
It makes a difference
Nursing home care is a diverse mode of practice. It will challenge a clinician's skills in endless ways. But the true requirement for this type of care is compassion to provide a quality of care that is much needed to those who often can't seek it for themselves. Nursing home care can make a major difference in the quality of life for those whose daily activities may be limited to what they can achieve with their sight.
As Lyn Graves,
O.D., founder of Senior Vision Services explains, working in nursing homes can be the most rewarding way to practice optometry. The stories that come from treating these patients can fill hours of lively conversations, but the reward of helping someone regain their quality of life can fill a lifelong career.

U.S. Coast Guard Awards
Glenn L. Rollins
Awarded 1 November 1945
During December 1938 the Coast Guard cutter Haida, stationed at Juneau, AK, answered a distress call from the merchant ship M.S. Patterson, which was aground in the Gulf of Alaska. When the Haida approached it was found impossible to get to the beach so the distressed men were signaled to proceed to Lituya Bay. Upon arrival of the Haida at Lituya Bay, a group of volunteers left the ship in a dory and with much difficulty reached shore. The party then started up the beach to locate the wrecked seamen. In zero weather they waded through glacial streams and spent the night, though they did not sleep, at Twelve Mile River. There they were joined by a searching party from the Coast Guard cutter Cyane. The next morning the following four men only were able to go on: Commander (then Ensign) Glenn L. Rollins, USCG; LT (then Chief Gunner's Mate) Eugene I. Brown, USCG; QM2 (then a civilian) Anthony W. Thomas, USCGR, and Mr. Howard Hayes, a civilian and native of Alaska.
On the next morning the men managed, by means of lines and a raft, to cross the river. Then, leaving their packs so as to be able to assist the wrecked seamen, they again set out. On hands and knees they crawled over a slippery logjam about 3/4 of a mile wide. At last they reached Otter River Falls, on the other side of which the wrecked seamen were observed. By means of lines and two long poles, and by resting on a boulder in midstream, Rollins and Hayes crossed the deep, swift river.
The wrecked seamen numbered 18 and were found to be in bad condition. Three were over 70 years old. Several were over 60. For 9 days they had been waiting without shelter and with little food. A long sapling was found and extended out to the boulder, by means of which the 18 men were assisted, one by one, to make the crossing. Once Rollins was pulled under the water by a panicky seaman, but in spite of this incident, Rollins succeeded in bringing the man to shore. Before proceeding farther, however, Rollins, now suffering from cramps and numbness, had to be rubbed and messaged for at least 20 minutes. Owing to the rough terrain and the weakened condition of the seamen, the trip back to Twelve Mile River was extremely hazardous. They arrived shortly before dark. Since the raft would only carry three men at a time, eight trips were required to get the party across.
Although all were near exhaustion, the 18 men were placed in single file with two rescuers in front and two behind to prevent them from straggling away into the darkness. In this manner the party marched all night, arriving at Lituya Bay at 7:00 AM on 23 December.

"Currently, there's no such thing as "mobile email standards." But that doesn't mean can just wing it—not when 70% of consumers say they delete emails immediately if they don't render well on their mobile device.
The more you know about what limitations exist, the better off you'll be. Here are some quick tips to get you headed in the right direction:"
"The responsive design of this email scales the email & increases the text size on mobile devices so that it easy to read on small screens. In addition, the header of the email has been changed - the Twitter "badge" has swapped sides and the headshot has been removed in the mobile version. With this responsive design, Twitter keeps the email extremely legible on both a desktop and a mobile device."
"Responsive emails = fluid grids, fluid media and media queries. The idea being where @media isn't supported, you can fallback on a fluid layout. As fluid layouts pose issues on some desktop email clients, alternatively you can fallback to a fixed-width mobile template."
Responsive Design can make a webpage shrink or expand to the device it's being viewed on instantly through the use of CSS3 @media queries in the HTML coding. Lately, however, much of the buzz is about applying these media queries within email code to generate responsive emails. There's one giant catch that many articles of late seem to smooth over…
People increasingly read their email — and their email newsletters — on mobile devices. Jacob Nielsen's research into the general usability of phones and tablets shows that small mobile phone screens present big usability challenges. They thus focused on email newsletter usability on those screens in our their research.

Cisco Small Business Firewalls, UTMs Firewall, VPN Firewalls & Network Security
With more and more people connected to broadband, both high profile corporates and home users need to ensure that their networks are secure against external Internet attacks. By having a broadband connection you are always connected to the internet, and without a firewall to protect you, you could be at risk from hackers who regularly scan the internet for computers with no security software.
Attacks on high profile corporates are becoming more common and any company at the receiving end of such an attack would normally need to spend many hours, if not days, recovering from it, suffering losses both financially and in terms of productivity. These high end dedicated firewalls ensure your network is protected by providing additional functionality, which basic routers don't have, such as intelligent layered security.
Firewalls as first line of defense
The main function of a firewall is to act as the first line of defense into your network, protecting it from external attacks. You can also use a firewall to open up ports for specific incoming and/or outgoing traffic. Firewalls also have logging facilities that will inform you about any failed attacks on your network.

Back in November, I braved the cold to head to New York City for the chance to see some footage from J.J. Abram's Star Trek, and I was blown away. I freely admit to being completely uninitiated into the Trek universe. I understand that there was some trouble with Tribbles, but other than that, I would have difficulty switching my phaser to stun. Still, the film looks like it will hold up quite nicely as a pure action flick with a huge CGI budget that looks like it's money being well spent.
Now, there's a new TV spot for the film that showcases a few more action sequences in what I have to assume is the teaser. Hopefully, the full-length trailer will be a few weeks away.
Feel free to argue the physics:
I'm completely positive about this movie so far, but I would like to point something out. As an outside, I've noticed that Kirk appears to be on the ice planet Hoth near the beginning and that the enemy has created some sort of giant weapon that destroys planets. That's all I'm going to say.
I think it's safe to say that everyone is looking forward to this own blowing up the summer. I, for one, will be at the midnight screening dressed as Dumbledore.
What do you think? How hard would it be to get into the military of the future? Base jumping from outer space onto a moving platform? It would take way more than the G.I. Bill to get me out there.

The Los Angeles County Tax Assessor is responsible for determining the value of land within the county jurisdiction. The assessed value is then used to determine how much property tax is owed for a particular parcel. To make these assessments, the Tax Assessor collects information about the physical characteristics of a property, any improvements it contains, and its use. This information is updated every few years.
The following is a list of the basic property information available to online researchers for Los Angeles County. It is the same information that forms the basis of other property information systems, such as the City of Los Angeles' online geographic information systems (GIS). The information available in each of these systems differs for each individual property.
Property Information:
Current parcels maps are also available for each property. These maps can be viewed online, or printed on a personal printer for offline use. The website also allows you to search for recent property sales in the surrounding neighborhood.
To search for a property in Los Angeles County, visit the LA County Tax Assessor's website at:
You can search by the Assessor's Identification Number (AIN/APN), street address, or you can locate a neighborhood by searching for the intersection of two streets.
Once a property is found, the website's "parcel viewer" provides an interactive property map of the neighborhood, in addition to the textual property information presented above. The two-dimensional map, which is GIS based, can be zoomed, panned, and otherwise manipulated to achieve the desired view of a neighborhood or parcel. Want to learn more about an adjacent property, simply use the "pick parcel" tool to select the property and display its information.

20 Weeks and still have CRAMPS ???
Hi All! I had cramps basically through out my entire first trimester - equalling lots of ultrasounds and bloodwork, all of which were normal. They seemed to subside with time into the 2nd trimester. But, I've noticed in weeks 19 and 20 I have these menstral like cramps again...and am getting nervous. But, they are very mild and pass - they're not constant. Does anyone else have this problem?? I feel bad calling the dr again for the same things that were normal before. Just need some comfort!!! Thanks!

I would go to the emergency room just to be on the safe side because you really don't know what it is....posted 02/04/2012 by kaybabe198806
Cramping throughout the whole pregnancy is normal. You feel cramping when your uterus is stretching and making room for bubs! If it is excruciating pain and any blood loss see your doctor immediately but if it is mild cramping I would not be to concerned obviously mention it at your next appointment anyway but it will more then likely just be everything stretching and getting bigger! I still go arghh when I get cramps and I should know better by now seeing as I am up to my 5th pregnancy (yes I know crazy huh lol) but it still always puts that horrible thought in your head just try to relax when you are cramping and just remember Ohh wow my bub must be getting bigger :-)posted 01/25/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
i am 19 weeks and this is my first baby so everything is new to me and it scares me when i have pains and i have already been threw the cramping and if u drop to the floor crying then u need to go to the doctor but if its just pain where ur uterus is it is just making room for your first or second or however many you have. i though i was losing the baby but no i wasn't and i'm only 17 and very scaried.posted 01/17/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 19 weeks 4 days today, started have mild to moderate cramping, I know its most the time normal because of everything shifting growing and so on. This is my second pregnancy, is it still normal to feel as much cramping figuring sense everything else is stretched out already from my last one? doctors say things dont go back to normal. I was told I have a placenta previa.posted 11/24/2011 by single4life1990
i been having cramping alot myself i didnt know if i should call my doc. or if it was normal....or if it may be gas lolposted 05/31/2011 by frisch23
So, how long is this cramping supposed to last? I'm 22 week pregnant, and i've been having bad cramps for 4 days now...........posted 03/20/2011 by june0224
samesies ! cramps can be a number of things.. my dr says if you have stabbing pains or blood accompanying these pains then you need to go to hospital immediately otherwise its prob gas, RLP or baby moving in thereposted 03/02/2011 by ddra19
I am 19 weeks pregnant and also just started having very bad menstrual like cramping. They said it could be uterus contracting to accomodate growing baby. I was told to drink lots of water to stay hydrated and to stay off my feet. I am hoping pain subsides within the next day or so, as it has been going on for about 3 days now.posted 01/13/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

Rocklin musician to play famed Horowitz piano
Jim Martinez concert
When: 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9
Where: Sherman Clay Pianos, 771 Pleasant Grove Blvd., Roseville
Tickets: $15; 804-8370
Info: www.jimmartinez.com
The legendary Steinway & Sons Model D Horowitz Piano continues its tour of North America with an upcoming stop in Roseville. Pianist and Steinway artist Jim Martinez will present "From Bach to Bix to Brubeck" Feb. 9 at Sherman Clay Pianos. Seating is limited.
Vladimir Horowitz (1903-1989) is widely considered one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century. This Steinway is the instrument Horowitz kept in his New York townhouse. He used it in many recitals and recordings in the 1970s and '80s, and he famously demanded that the piano be his exclusive touring instrument during the last four years of his life, including his triumphant return to the former Soviet Union for performances in Moscow and Leningrad in 1986.
"I think there's almost a kind of mystique about it that makes you play better, because you know that great hands touched the keys," Martinez said. "I'm actually excited about it – I'm not nervous at all."
Martinez, who lives in Rocklin, is a professional jazz pianist with classical roots. He has worked with Lionel Hampton, the Stan Kenton Band, Nelson Riddle Orchestra, Christian McBride, Benny Golson, Roy Hargrove and many others. He has also worked as pianist and musical director for Joan Rivers and Bob Newhart.
Martinez said he didn't want to play all jazz on a classical pianist's instrument, so he decided to mix it up, presenting a concert with classical selections from Bach, cornetist Bix Beiderbecke and concluding with music made famous by Dave Brubeck, all on the famous Horowitz piano.
"Every piano, to an artist, is special," explained Thomas Masi, manager of the Roseville Sherman Clay Pianos. "Every artist hand picks their own piano."
Sacramento vocalist Laura Didier will join Martinez for a few songs, and she said the audience at the intimate Sherman Clay venue is in for a treat.
"He is incredibly gifted," Didier said of Martinez. "He is a Steinway artist – he was selected by Steinway to be on their artist roster, so it's amazing to watch him play."
Sacramento pianist Jennifer Reason has been announced as an additional featured artist for the concert. She will perform various classical pieces on the Horowitz Steinway.
Didier said it's fitting to have someone with Martinez's skill play on a piano played by someone as legendary as Horowitz.
"Because each Steinway is handmade, and artists of that caliber select the instrument that they want, you know that's it's an amazing instrument, because someone of that caliber is only going to pick the best, the absolute best instrument to have with them at all times," she said.
"This is going to be amazing," Martinez said. "It's going to be like driving a Lamborghini."

Relapse Theatre en
Relapse Theater is a comedic performing arts venue in Atlanta, Georgia that focuses on stand-up and improv comedy. A first of its kind, being an collective of autonomous comedy troups, Relapse is cited with others as being the catalyst for Atlanta's booming comedy scene. Founded in an abandoned former Church, Relapse's multiple performance spaces include an intimate cinema, a black box studio theater, a comedy club cabaret, and a main stage ballroom-auditorium. Classes in short-form and long-form improv are taught throughout the week. Relapse was created by its artistic director Bob Wood in 2005, after leaving Whole World Theatre, where he was artistic director. The inspiration for the theater is attributed to Emmy Award Winning Director David Webster, under whom Mr. Wood studied. Other key founding members include Charles Islas, Brad Binkley, Matt Pharr, Noe Gonzalez, Derek Mize, Ed King, Troy Halverson, Chris Nik, Jim Karwisch, and Shellie Schmals. In the first year, the theater was primarily a venue for special events and improv classes that focus on teaching strong, emotional, two-person, scene work. This style emphasizes the role of emotions in character work, and how to use [ - ]

This was amazing! A must do for all who have an interest in the Castro and in GLBT history. The tour was very informative and at times moving as the decades of world changing history are revealed. The guide Kathy was so lovely and the tour moved at a comfortable pace.
We had a wonderful time and our guide Kathy was so knowledgable and friendly. She made us feel at home and you could tell that she had a passion for the Castro district. People were so friendly I want to come back. A great tour. See you soon!! X
One of the highlights of our San Francisco trip, we learnt so much and were so moved by this tour
Our tour guide was Kathy Amendola, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was knowledgable, warm, patient, and had a cute sense of humour. She is extremely familiar with the area in its' entirety, and was great at taking questions on the fly. This was not my first trip to San Francisco or the Castro area, but it was my first time taking a tour of this type and I would highly recommend it to others who are interested in learning more about the history behind this well-known gay and lesbian district :
Very informative.
Kathy was great and very willing to answer questions.
This was so interesting to see how this community has evolved. I really liked that it was a walking tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgable about the gay and lesbian community. I would reccomend this tour to anyone. I also would like to not none of us that took the tour are gay or lesiban just wanted to know everything about the city. We thought this was a great way to understand San Francisco and we were not disappointed.
our lead was knowledgeable and entertaining. well worth the money and time.
Awesome. A real amazing tour of history and information. Kathy has a wealth of knowledge and a lovely personality. We could have listened to her all day long. The tour really gave an insight into the Harvey Milk story and the history of the Castro. Prob the best your we experienced on our trip
Much more emotional than expected our guide, Kathy Amendelo was excellent.
very interesting and moving tour! I would highly recommend!
Kathy did an amazing job with our tour in April. I enjoyed the detailed history she provided about San Francisco's LGBT community. It was truly enjoyable!!
Fascinating tour of one of America's most interesting neighborhoods by a charming local
The tour was really interesting and informative. Our guide Kathy was funny, friendly and knowledgable about the area and it was clear that she was really involved in the community and passionate about sharing this with visitors.
Thanks a lot to our guide Kathy!! She was so friendly and gave us a lot of information in our tour. Strongly recommended :)
Wonderful tour. It gave a lot of insight into this particular area of San Francisco. The guide, Cathy, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Would highly recommend taking this tour.
This tour is excellent - Kathy our tour guide was both friendly and welcoming and made the your of The Castro something special. The history of the area is fascinating and a great way to spend 2/3 hours. Highly recommended.
Zoe B Australia
What a great tour! Such a vibrant community, it was great to get an insiders view. Kathy is highly knowledgeable about the area and its people, would definitely recommend!

Step back into history, get to know were it all started. I was expecting this so much and got what I hoped for. Kathy will tell you all she knows. She's such a wonderful person. It is trully a nice time walking around history.
The tour was very interesting and Kathy is a very awesome and authentic person. We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone who is interested in the political and social history of "The Castro".

We met Kathy at Harevry Milk Plaza and commenced our tour once the others had arrived. Kathy is very informative and was a great guide. The impact Harvey Milk made on a community in such a short time is staggering. One of the most poignant things was when we saw where the AIDS quilt was made and Kathy explained how big it is and how it is currently stored. She is correct the quilt needs to be in a museum.
I had visited the Castro previously and just knew I was missing something. This tour highlighted all of the things that I missed that first time. We learned so much about the Castro culture and history.
This was the highlight of our trip to San Francisco. Kathy was very knowledgeable and entertaining! You will receive a first hand account from someone who has been truly involved in the Castro culture. I would recommend the tour to anyone gay, straight or otherwise as it will really open your eyes to the drive for equality in America and the history of San Fran. Thanks again Kathy!
Kathy is a superb guide, warm, knowledgable and clearly passionate about her subject. For a gay man of a certain age, finally seeing the locations where so much history took place was both fascinating Nd in readily moving.
We highly recommend this tour! It was both educational and inspirational. Tour guide did an excellent job!!!! Thank you.
Our tour guide Cathy was so great. First, everyone could 'hear' her. Sometimes tour guides are not cognizant of that little detail. Cathy brought to light much of Castro history I was never aware of (as a Floridian) and even gave details she knew of it's future, the street project in progress, along with the plaques to be imbedded. The Harvey Milk history Cathy provided enhanced, for me, what I had seen in the movie 'Milk'. Now I want to see it again having my knew found knowledge. The elementary school mosaics and their representation of equality - hope for a more tolerant upcoming generation - was not only inspiring -- I would have not known they even existed had Cathy's tour not led us down the street they were on. On and on, there's so much to mention. The tour is a 'must do' for the open-minded visiting SF. Bill and Ramon

Incandescent lighting is so taken-for-granted in contemporary culture that most of us have no idea how much energy we use when we flip a light switch. Boiler Design Office [2] wants to change this with their experimental Protea Lamp [3] – a lamp which changes shape based on how hot the bulb gets.
The Protea lamp is thermotropic: meaning it moves away from heat. When the light is off, the petal-like lampshade is cold and closed around the bulb. When the lamp is turned on and heats up, the thermotropic petals gradually move away from the hot bulb – opening up like a flower in the sunshine.
Designer Karl Zahn views this project as an experiment in turning an invisible artifact of consumption into a visual reminder, without limiting its function:
We have become dependant upon artificial lighting. It is so commonplace that everyone understands how to operate one. But what is not so easily understood is how wasteful these habits are. We can only "see" half of what a normal incandescent bulb produces; the rest of its energy is released as seemingly useless heat.
The Protea lamp is named for the Proteaceae group of flowers [4] which change their shape during the day based on sunlight.
We think this is a perfect combination of thoughtfulness, uniqueness and beauty in design and applaud Karl Zahn for coming up with such a great idea.

ID strange white nudibranch-like invertebrate
I've had my 44gal tank running for about a month now, put in live rock which were infested with some isopods and diatoms.
I was trying to capture some isopods I thought were Cirolanids, so I put the tank in total darkness for a few hours along with a trap. When I removed the trap and turned the lights on, there were several of these strange twin-tailed invertebrates apparently cleaning the glass. Pictures below
Looks like it may be Amphiscolops sp., They are reportedly harmless.

The Speedo/CSCAA Top 25 list has changed over the past two weeks, as home seasons started to close and seniors said good-bye to the home pools they had swum in for four years.
In fact, one entire team said good-bye to its pool-Purdue retired 61-year-old Lambert Pool. Indiana University's women's team spoiled the party, however, defeating Purdue by a score of 161-144. Indiana clinched the victory on the next-to-last event. Three pool records were bettered-two by Purdue's Gyongyver Lakos (200 free, 1:50.20; 100 free, 51.02) and one by Purdue's 400 free relay (3:28.04).
Florida's Janelle Atkinson grabbed the top spot in the 1650 free (16:10.74) on Jan. 13, when No. 10 Florida edged No. 8 Texas 152-148. Teammate Jamie Ellis won the 400 IM in 4:19.95 to grab a spot on the Top 25 list.
Arizona's Amanda Beard and Stanford's Tara Kirk finished 1-2 in the 200 breast and captured the top two spots in the nation as well. During the third-ranked Wildcats' 135.5-107.5 win over the No. 4 Cardinal, Beard posted a 2:11.02 for the No. 1 ranking in the event, followed by Kirk's 2:11.70. Misty Hyman swam well for Stanford as well, finishing No. 2 in the nation in the 200 fly (1:56.25) and sixth in the 200 IM (2:01.20). Stanford's men's squad turned the tables on the Wildcats, winning 147-96. Swimming well for the Cardinal were Rob Canales (200 IM, 1:49.58), Steven Brown (200 fly, 1:48.01) and Adam Messner (4:24.22). Placing first in events for the Wildcats were junior Roland Schoeman (50 free, 20.09; 100 free, 44.69) and senior Tyler Painter (1000 free, 9:07.53)
Texas sophomore Chris Kemp leads the nation in the 200 free (1:35.93). Kemp placed first in that event during Texas' 161-133 victory over Georgia. Chris also placed ninth in the 1000 free (9:07.85). Top-10 times were achieved by the Longhorns' Nate Dusing (100 fly, 47.93; 200 back, 1:44.88) as well as the Bulldogs' Kyle Salyards (100 breast, 55.46; 200 breast, 1:58.82), Andrew Mahaney (1000 free, 9:07.46) and Marc Lindsay (200 back, 1:44.64)
In a tri-meet among Michigan, Penn State and Purdue, Michigan came out on top against both teams (Michigan 128-Penn State 114; Michigan 183-Purdue 60). Penn State defeated Purdue 171-72. Penn State's John Retrun has the ninth-fastest time in the 200 free (1:37.53); close behind is Michigan's Dan Ketchum (1:38.02). Michigan swimmers finishing first in their events included Chris Thompson (500 free, 4:22.87; 1000 free, 9:11.23), Scott Werner (200 breast, 1:59.67; 200 IM, 1:50.14) and Garrett Mangieri (100 free, 45.04)
The next edition of the Speedo/CSCAA Top 25 list will be published Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2001. Please e-mail all corrections to email@example.com no later than noon Mountain Standard Time Monday, Feb. 5, or fax results/corrections to 520-284-2477.

Salahat named as the Corps' Fort Worth District Engineer of the Year
July 3, 2013
By Randy Cephus
FORT WORTH, Texas - Esmat F. Salahat was born in Jordan and was raised by his grandparents in the small Christian town of Anfe, Lebanon. From this beautiful, small town on the Mediterranean emerged the Fort Worth District's 2012 Engineer of the Year.
The 2012 award recipient has approximately 30 years of federal service. He currently serves as the District's Structural Section's technical expert and has held the position for the past nine years.
During the District's 2013 annual awards ceremony on June 13, a surprised Salahat walked up to the stage to receive his award. Although Salahat had received performance awards each year for the past 29 years and had been nominated for Engineer of the Year on three prior occasions, he had no idea that he was in the running to receive this years' honor.
"It was a pleasant surprise to say the least, because I had no idea I was getting this award - I thought I was to receive my 30 years pin," said Salahat. "I couldn't have made the impression leading to any of this, if it wasn't for the great support I've always had from the Corps; especially from the structural section, construction field offices and other districts."
The Engineer of the Year Award is given annually to recognize excellence in engineering. Nominees must make specific contributions in some field of engineering, which result in a significant accomplishment by the District during the previous 12 months. The contributions must be individual and the result of the nominee's personal efforts, according to the award criteria.
Salahat earned a Bachelors of Science in 1980 and his Masters of Science in 1982; both in Civil Engineering and from the University of Texas at Arlington. While studying at UTA, Salahat was a member of numerous honor societies including Chi Epsilon, Tau Beta Pi, Pi Mu Epsilon and Alpha Chi.
During his leisure, the 36-year resident of Weatherford, Texas, enjoys fishing, reading technical sources, and troubleshooting, fixing, and improving things.
"I enjoy the challenge and like to improve and expand my knowledge," added Salahat. "I like to help others as much as I can."
As the structural engineer technical expert for the district, Esmat is involved with several projects within the District where he provides field support and technical reviews.
"He is an outstanding resource for ensuring that projects are designed and constructed properly based on the most current standards," said Salahat's supervisor, Bryan G. Thompson, chief of Structural Section. "His expertise allows the Center of Standardization to provide a consistent response for our nationwide CoS program as well as regional customers."
Salahat was among 16 other annual award recipients as well as a host of length of service and special recognition awardees who were recognized during the ceremony. The Engineer of the Year was all smiles as he received the award from the Fort Worth District Commander, Col. Charles H. Klinge.
"Undoubtedly, it means a lot to me as I've always enjoyed engineering work and I practice it very seriously. I can't imagine working far from it, so receiving this prestigious award, is better than icing on the cake."

Invertebrate Medicine
Greg Lewbart
Wiley, Apr 17, 2006 - Medical - 327 pages
Invertebrate Medicine is the single most comprehensive resource available today on invertebrate animal medicine. Public and private aquarists, aquaculturists, and veterinarians in zoo animal, exotic animal and laboratory animal medicine will all find this book an irreplaceable source of information on many of the animals they care for or treat.
Coverage includes sponges, jellyfish, anemones, corals, mollusks, starfish, sea urchins, crabs, crayfish, lobsters, shrimp, hermit crabs, spiders, scorpions, and dozens more. Although coverage is broad, emphasis is on invertebrates harvested for food or kept in captivity as pets, for display, or as research animals.
The book's organization is easy to follow, with chapters dividing up invertebrates taxonomically. Each chapter includes the natural history of the group, anatomy and physiology, environmental disorders, preventative medicine, infectious diseases, common miscellaneous disorders, analgesia, anesthesia and surgery, treatment protocols and formularies. Amply illustrated in color and black and white, Invertebrate Medicine is sure to become the classic reference on invertebrate animal medicine.
