Okay I've been listening the shit out of this. though it definitely is Isis and has a lot of their elements, overall this is a very different album. Obviously the biggest difference is the addition of the really clean vocals, unlike the buried ones of panopticon. I like some of the almost Egyptian sounding guitar parts.
I think this album will gain them many new fans, but I think it will also drive as many away (if they already hadn't written them off after panopticon). I don't thin kthe voals will really drive people away as I do the wankery and listlessness of some of the beginnings of the songs.. Though I'm still digesting it, overall I think this album works and for me will stand up against the rest of their material for future listenting. Anyways, here's a track by track breakdown.
1-Wrists of Kings (7:45)-Album starts off some tribalesque drumming as spacy guitars slowly start to join in. It's builds up until almost 3 minutes then breaks into a panoticonish type groove and then some singing starts. This works really well together IMO and makes a good case for the singing. The song continues to build dramatically and then breaks into some thick growling/screaming at the end. I really like this song and think it was a good start to the album
2-Not in Rivers, But in Drops (7:4-The beginning of this song is kinda weird, it sounds like something from Oceanic but played at a fast speed. This doesn't continue for very long as this song wastes no time in getting to singing. This first half of this song is kinda spacy and off time in parts which kinda throws me off, but it really starts to pay off at about 3 minutes when it starts gaining more focus and some more old school screamy type vocals are added.
3-Dulcinea (7:10)-This song has really grown on me. The first half is very beautiful and the second half is pure Isis.
4-Over Root and Thorn (8:31)- starts out with an eerie ambient soundscape then builds into a slow sparse "groove." The song doesn't really pick up until about 5 minutes when it gains focus and ends up being killer. They just need to cut out about 2 minutes off before getting to this part. The last couple of minutes is more eerieness with some heavier guitar added.
5-1000 Shards (6:17)- musically it lies between Oceanic and Panopticon, but has some really tripped out water sounding vocals on it. gets heavy for about 30 seconds at the end. solid song.
6-All Out of Time, All Into Space (34)- very spaced out interlude type track. sounds like House of Low Culture/Tribes of Neurot
7-Holy Tears (74)- first song to use a trade off of heavy/clean vocals. musically, it's a megalodon. this is a fucking awesome song from start to finish.
8-Firduos E Bareen (7:50)- song almost starts off like some kind of ambient trip-hop song but not really, it has this weird minimalist type feel that slowly builds as some strange guitar effects start to layer of it. then it gets spacier. but at 4 minutes it finally finds the groove and it all comes together. the bass really drives this for me. very different song for Isis and it would of been great if it didn't take so long getting there. overall I still really dig it.
9-Garden of Light (9:17)- very powerful song that doesn't fuck around. contains clean vocals, screaming, and killer music.
Personally I think they shoulda focused more on making a couple more songs like Wrists of Kings, Dulcinea, Holy Tears, and Garden of Light and laid off some of the real tripped out stuff. I think those songs are great and showed what this album could of been, but they spent too much time on some of the wanking off leading into a couple of the other songs. Like I said, I like it, and think overall it works, but IMO I think that the listlessness will be the shit turning others away. So just check it out and judge for yourselves.

LONG BEACH, N.Y. (AP) - Billy Crystal has helped raise $1 million to rebuild his native beach town on New York's Long Island hard-hit by Superstorm Sandy.
The "City Slickers" and "When Harry Met Sally" star announced the gift to the city of Long Beach on Saturday, while standing on a newly installed patch of the town's boardwalk.
Newsday reports (http://bit.ly/1a2coWT) $112,000 of the gift will come from Crystal's family. The $888,000 is coming from money he helped raise at the annual Celebrity Fight Night fundraiser in March, an event that raises money for the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at Barrow Neurological Institute and other charities.
Crystal made the announcement before hundreds of beachgoers.
Officials hope part of a new $44 million boardwalk will be completed by mid-July.

The Republican National Convention has wrapped up with a speech by Mitt Romney that combined details of his life story with a pledge to create millions of jobs and "restore the promise of America."
After entering the convention hall down one of the aisles, shaking hands with dozens of delegates along the way, Romney began a speech in which he spoke of his youth as a Mormon, and then as a married man with five rambunctious sons.
He choked up at least twice, once when he recalled how he and his wife Ann would awake to find "a pile of kids asleep in our room."
But the speech also contained repeated criticism of President Barack Obama, particularly his failure to spur a more robust economic recovery. Romney said Obama can "tell us it was someone else's fault" and that in the next four years "he'll get it right" -- but that he can't tell Americans that they are better off than when he took office.
Romney said he will start his presidency with a "jobs tour" -- and he accused Obama of starting off with an "apology tour." He accused Obama of failing to support Israel, while showing patience with Israel's arch-enemy, Iran.
He drew cheers when he vowed to repeal Obama's signature health care law.
His speech ended with the now-traditional scene in which Romney and his wife Ann were joined by running mate Paul Ryan and his wife, and then by other family members, as delegates cheered and balloons fell.
Highlights from Mitt Romney's acceptance speech on Thursday to the Republican National Convention:
ECONOMY and JOBS: Romney said he will create 12 million new jobs by expanding domestic energy production, improving education and training, forging new trade agreements with other countries, balancing the budget, and helping businesses grow. "What America needs is jobs," Romney said. "Lots of jobs." Romney said he will not raise taxes on the middle class.
ENERGY: The United States will be independent from energy sources outside of North America by 2020, Romney said. He supports opening the Atlantic and Pacific outer continental shelves to drilling, as well as Western lands, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and offshore Alaska. He also has proposed reducing obstacles to coal, natural gas and nuclear energy development.
MILITARY: Romney said President Barack Obama wants to make major cuts in military spending that will eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs and put U.S. security at greater risk. Romney said he would "preserve a military that is so strong, no nation would ever dare to test it."
FOREIGN POLICY: Romney credited Obama for giving Seal Team Six the order to take out Osama bin Laden. But he criticized the president for failing to slow Iran's nuclear threat and for abandoning key allies Israel and Poland. Obama has been too easy on Russian President Vladimir Putin, he said. "Under my administration, our friends will see more loyalty, and Mr. Putin will see a little less flexibility and more backbone," Romney said.
SMALL BUSINESS: Romney said he would be a champion of small businesses, which he described as "America's engine of job growth." Taxes on businesses would be cut, not increased, under a Romney administration, he said. He would also repeal President Barack Obama's health care law in order to "rein in the skyrocketing cost of healthcare."
WOMEN: Romney made a direct appeal to this critical demographic by noting that women held important positions during his term as Massachusetts governor. He listed several of the women, including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who addressed the Republican National Convention, and he also mentioned that his mother, Lenore Romney, had once run for the U.S. Senate.
BUSINESS EXPERIENCE: Romney stressed that his business background at Bain Capital, a private equity firm he helped start in 1984, makes him better qualified than Obama to turn around a struggling American economy. Among the successful companies Bain helped start, Romney said, are Staples, The Sports Authority, and Steel Dynamics, a steel mill in Indiana.
RELIGION: Romney tied his Mormon faith to the American experience. His family found community and kinship with "remarkably vibrant and diverse congregations" that prayed together and were quick to help each other out. He said that growing up Mormon in Michigan may have seemed out of place, but his friends cared more about the sports teams they followed than what church he and his family went to.

Sep 16, 2011 | By Eric Gibble
In the midst of disheartening data regarding the rise of inequality in our nation, it is encouraging that some communities are taking time to mind the gap by working on measures to mend it. This piece by NPR highlights a new program that encourages lower-income youth to achieve a higher education.
Some notes:
- The gap in the wealth of white families and what's owned by blacks and Hispanics has widened in recent years. Researchers say it will widen even more unless steps are taken to break what's become a vicious cycle — the rich getting richer and the poor struggling to keep from falling further behind.
- The city of San Francisco is taking one step to help even the playing field. Children entering the city's kindergartens are getting their own college savings accounts.
- "It's all about building aspirations in that child's mind," says City Treasurer Jose Cisneros.

Five Ways to Use Siri at Work
The iPhone 4S voice-activated assistant can make calls, schedule appointments and a lot more.
Have an iPhone 4S with Siri? If so, here's how to use the voice-activated personal assistant to perform some simple work-related tasks:
Make a call or send a text. Hold the "Home" button down and you'll hear two quick beeps and the question: "What can I help you with?" appears on the phone's screen. Say what you need—"Call the office" or "Send a text to Joanne" –and the phone's microphone icon will light up. When you're finished talking, Siri displays the text of what you said and connects with the phone's built-in dialer or text-messaging service to complete the task.
Get directions. If you're in the United States, Siri gives directions in English for the iPhone's built-in maps and Yelp local search features. According to Apple Inc., native language support for maps and directions is available in France and Germany and is coming in 2012 in China, Japan, Korea, Italy and Spain.
Dictate a business letter or email. Avatron Software's Air Dictate app turns an iPhone 4S into a dictation machine. Download it on your phone and a companion receiver app on any Mac computer, make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network and launch Microsoft Word or another text editor in your computer. On the phone, press the app's "Dictate" button and start talking–your words will appear on the computer screen. Air Dictate is 99 cents at the iTunes store.
Send yourself a reminder. Set up Remember the Milk, a free app for creating to-do lists and reminders, to work with Siri in just a couple of simple steps. Follow these instructions on the Remember the Milk website.
Search a database. Wolfram Alpha, the information technology company that publishes the Mathematica computations software and provides answers for some Siri queries, is developing a series of knowledge databases that can be accessed using Siri. In mid-January, Wolfram Alpha released a professional football statistics app developed with STATS, a sports information provider. That followed the company's December 2011 release of a voice-activated app for browsing the Best Buy product catalog. According to a Wolfram Alpha executive, voice-controlled databases for human resources, law firms and corporate finance are in the works.

Serena + Serena to join forces in Gatorade's "Everyday Athletes" ad campaign
Serena Williams met up with Gatorade G2 at Hollywood's famed Roosevelt Hotel yesterday to help select who will join her in the upcoming "Everyday Athletes" ad campaign for the low-calorie sports drink. The event was emceed by Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell and featured five semifinalists from the contest - all named Serena - who discussed their personal stories of triumph over severe challenges to reach a significant goal.
Serena Cuevas, a 23-year old from San Diego, California, was chosen as the winner by a panel consisting of representatives from Shape magazine, Gatorade G2, and ReRe. Cuevas was grew up wanting to be a dancer but was sidetracked by a horrific accident when she was 17-years old. Though doctors told her she would never dance again, Cuevas fought through and managed to compete in national and international salsa competitions, as well as establish her own dance company - Deseo Dance Company – in San Diego.
The ad campaign will debut this spring and, along with ReRe, G2 will feature three more "everyday athlete" ads featuring the NBA's Kevin Garnett, WNBA's Candace Parker, and Gold Medal Beach Volleyball star Kerri Walsh with their "everyday athlete" counterparts.
Others are encouraged to share their own "everyday athlete" stories at missionG.com, the new sports and entertainment portal for Gatorade.
Great program Gatorade and I love how all the contestants were also named "Serena" - how fitting for the 10-time Grand Slammer.

We used to have bragging rights here in Washington as having the strongest job market in the country. That hasn't been the case in a while. We can blame a slowdown in government hiring.
The nation's staggering debt levels have a lot to do with it. With Congress again debating the future size of the federal government, jobs and spending are up in the air. That limbo will impact our job and housing market yet again this year and next year. Here are some brand new predictions from the Center for Regional Analysis, at George Mason University.
The region is expected to lose 22,000 federal jobs by 2017. A lot of that is due to the spending cuts we are expecting out of Congress.
But in a way, this is good news. Economists were originally predicting 450,000 jobs would be lost. At the same time, the Washington region will still have a net gain of 281,000 new jobs by 2017, most of those in the private sector and not related to the government.
A rebound in the housing sector will lead part of the way. The Center sees about 55,000 new construction jobs being added by 2017. That works out to be about 20 percent of new job growth.
The good news, we do have these new private-sector jobs being created. The bad news, they jobs pay a lot less than the federal jobs we are losing.

Once again, Pct. 1 Commissioner Carlos Salazar has come up with a great idea to put Bee County employees education requirement for employment 50 years back.
The great pool of workers that he talks about made a conscious decision to terminate their education for their own personal reasons.
If the court approves the removal of the education requirement, will they be removing the criminal background check and drug test soon after? If you do this for one department, you have to do the same for the rest of the county departments. Otherwise, you are discriminating.
In fact, this should open a big can of worms, because a lot of county institutions and businesses have been omitting the requirement of a GED or high school diploma to acquire their work force.
The only real difference between a wise man and a fool is that a wise man tends to make more serious mistakes and that's only because no one trusts a fool with really crucial decisions. Only the wise have the opportunity to lose.

School Board OKs Raises
Marshall employees to receive another 3 percent for 2013-14
June 12, 2013
MOUNDSVILLE — School employees in Marshall County will receive a 3-percent pay raise during the upcoming fiscal year after the Marshall County Board of Education on Tuesday approved the salary scale......
Mikey, Mikey, Mikey, You misunderstand. We need the levies to pass for the "TEACHERS' KIDS". Read the fine print. College is expensive for THEIR children.

Funny I never knew any of the BOE members or Renzella were from "Chicago".
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The legacy of Renzella is conduct public business in secret. The BOE found that its easier to just make decisions without citizen input or any knowledge of it. The Marshall County BOE goes into Executive Session for everything but handing out awards or making feel good proclamations. The BOE is the largest tax burden on MC property owners and yet they conduct budgeting and everything else in Executive session. Secret Gov only exists in a vaccumm where no legitmate journalism is practiced. The SunShine Law was passed by politicians but they will not police themselves, the press must be vigilant to assure that public business is conducted in public. Everything but handing out awards and ceremonies in Marshall County is handled in secret. How would discussion of pay raises for staff in general qualify as personnel action that needed to be kept secret? Power is a corrupting influence and its proven daily in Marshall County. The OV suffers from "lack of press"

"The raises, which will be the first in 23 years in the county."
Do the sheeple really believe that? Actully every year the peeps get about 3.5% for years of service....So in 23 years about 80% in raises, on average!

Timeless struggle
Movies | For Greater Glory, a new film about a Catholic uprising against a socialist Mexican government in 1926, has surprising resonance in 2012
Three years ago, when director-producer Dean Wright agreed to helm a historical film about a pivotal but little-known Mexican conflict, he had no idea how closely its subject matter would mirror some of the fiercest political debates making headlines today.
For Greater Glory, which reaches theaters on June 1, relates the events surrounding the Cristero War, a people's revolt that was sparked in 1926 after a socialist Mexican government enacted anti-clerical legislation limiting the freedoms of the Catholic Church. The administration of President Elias Calles began by restricting how and where Mass was celebrated, then moved on to closing religious-affiliated schools and expelling foreign priests and ministers, before eventually seizing church property and putting Catholic dissenters to death.
At first, religious citizens protested peacefully, organizing economic boycotts and passing out literature condemning the new laws and Calles' methods of implementing them. But as Calles' enforcements grew more brutal, including hanging the dead bodies of executed priests and dissidents on telephone poles as warnings to would-be rebels, many faithful banded together and took up arms. But it wasn't until they recruited retired military mastermind Gen. Enrique Gorostieta (played in the film by Andy Garcia) to organize and lead them that the motley assortment of farmers, students, wives, and even some lay priests became a viable threat to Calles' power, going to war with the battle cry, "Cristo Rey" (Christ the King).
As part of his preparation for the film, Wright met with Gorostieta's children who told him that while their father was not the most devout Catholic, he believed ardently in religious freedom. "He believed if you were Jewish, if you were Protestant, if you were Catholic, you had the absolute right to practice your faith and not have that taken away from you," Wright says. He describes Gorostieta as not just a brilliant tactician, but a man with a broad understanding of what Calles' targeting of Catholics could mean for other civil liberties in Mexico.
"[Gorostieta] understood that throughout history the first step of an oppressive regime is to shut down the church in order to take away that support for potential dissidents," Wright says. "The aim is to cut you off from God. That's what oppressive governments do. The daily Mass, confession, the sacraments-they were part of the fabric of the culture in Mexico, and the president tried to tear that fabric away. So you can imagine the reaction."
Eventually the American ambassador to Mexico brokered a peace treaty between the two sides. But because Calles' anti-clerical party maintained power for another 70 years, it went to great lengths to erase the uprising from the annals of national history. "It wasn't discussed and it wasn't taught. If it was in the school books it was from a very specific point of view," Wright explains, adding that the movie's release is sparking a lot of controversy in Mexico. "It's a huge topic of debate right now, and we expected it, frankly, because we are showing a history that many younger people have never heard of."
In his experience with filming the movie, Wright says that whether people were aware of the story or not largely depended on how urban they were. "I grew up in Arizona and live in Southern California, and I had never heard of this. So when I started working on it, I went down to Mexico, because it was really important to me to go to the places where this actually happened. And in these little communities hours from any major city you would find in some church or some home a shrine or a picture of a priest or family member who wouldn't recant their faith and were killed because of it. But then I would go into Mexico City or Guadalajara and people would have no idea about it. They lived in Mexico and had no idea this happened. It's been a shock to many people."
Wright had years of experience working on epic-scale films like Titanic, The Lord of the Rings, and The Chronicles of Narnia, so the sweeping, historical nature of this project didn't daunt him. But while he understood that its themes of freedom and the balance between religious rights and government regulation would resonate with some audiences, he says he had no idea it would prove so timely. "There are lines in the script," he says with a laugh after I ask him about proposed contraceptive mandates in the United States, "that you could pull out and put in the newspaper and you'd think it was a conversation happening today."
Nevertheless, he is quick to point out that he did not approach the project with an agenda to push or a moral to teach, believing that events in the film speak for themselves. "Whether you believe [the Cristeros] did the right thing or not is for each person to decide. Would it have all worked out if they had just been pacifists, or would they all have been shot dead?" Wright asks. "I don't know and I didn't want to impose an answer. On the one hand our Lord is the Prince of peace, on the other there's a time for peace and a time for war."
He also explains that he took pains to avoid making a purely religious film and instead tried to maintain the story's larger context. "Yes, it's about people fighting for faith, but that's the same thing as fighting for freedom," he points out. "Because the next freedom to go is the right to protest, then the next freedom to go is the freedom of assembly. It's a slippery road and before you know it you're under a totalitarian government. Neighbors turn on neighbors, and that started to happen [under Calles], like you saw in Nazi Germany, and other fascist regimes."
Star Andy Garcia agrees, arguing that regardless of whether you'd be inclined to support the actions of the renegade Catholics, their story is worthy of attention. "There are debates going on in contemporary society about the role of the government and religion and where the line should be drawn over how deeply religion should be involved in politics and how much government should be involved in religion. So just like Braveheart wasn't just a movie for Scots or Schindler's List wasn't just a movie for Jewish people, this is not just a movie for Mexicans or for Catholics. This is a universal story that is still going on all around the world."
Garcia says he's glad For Greater Glory is bringing up events that were for so long a taboo subject in Mexico because he believes they have something to contribute to current debates. "It's the old cliché," he says. "If you don't know history you're in danger of repeating it."

I am still trying to import 1,800 contacts for one of my users.
His address book has many, many records without a name; only a company field.
Is there a way on import or via SOAP or Rest to set the File As: attribute of these addresses to be "Company", rather than "Last, First"? It would sure help tidy up his addressbook.

Fins were price matched to another online vendor. I have used them on several local dives, and the fins seem to be a very high quality piece of kit. I get noticeably less fatigue and cramps in my feet/legs, even when fighting current.

Computer was price matched to a competing online vendor. Product works intuitively. I have used the computer on several dives with no complaints. The quick detach is nice to have. I keep wondering if the audible alarm is loud enough to be heard under water, but am understandably reluctant to induce a warning while diving.

This octo came free in a Zeagle package, so I could not beat the price. I dive every week-end I can locally, and this regulator has given me zero problems.

Overall, I am very pleased with this regulator. Easy breathing in all attitudes. My only complaint has been a tendency to freeflow on the surface (even with airflow lever set for pre-dive).

I recently pruchased a Zeagle Ranger BC from SCUBA.COM. I was very pleased with the service, including an attempt at price matching with a different online company (who did not have my size in stock). The Zeagle Ranger is a great piece of kit. Very comfortable. Very adjustable. Very well made. As a point of comparison, it is a little bulky when packing it into a bag. I love the integrated weights, although it does make for a heavy piece of gear when everything is loaded.

The Collar City and the Capital District had an active year in 2012 as far as economic development is concerned:
City Station
The November groundbreaking for the third phase of City Station signaled the continuation of a major economic development project in Troy.
Touted by Mayor Lou Rosamilia as "another critical phase in the revitalization of Troy," this $13 million project -- when completed -- will feature 157 beds for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute graduate students, 14,000-square-foot of space for shops and restaurants, and a 230-car parking structure.
The entire project was born out of collaboration among the city, The United Group and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
That ceremony, however, was more than a groundbreaking; it was a chance to reflect on the legacy and accomplishments of the late United Group President and CEO Walter Uccellini, who was killed in a single-engine plane crash in Clifton Park in August.
Chasen Building
Vacant for several years, the Chasan Building at the corner of Fourth and Broadway in Troy was the site of a ribbon cutting in May at which RPI and Columbia Development Companies unveiled the project that converted the building into office space for the Rensselaer Institute Advancement team. The building underwent a renovation and modernization, including a new roof, historic replica windows, restored exterior masonry, and the reconstruction of the original circa-1850 arched-carriageway opening that now serves as the building's new main entrance.
The BID
The Troy Business Improvement District had a busy year with its first Annual Dinner at Franklin Plaza, honoring City Station with its New Business of the Year Award, Cornerstone Telephone with the Established Business of the Year Award, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with the BID Community Spirit Award.
The BID also held its first Restaurant Week and launched a Student Incentive Program to help capture their business and make them feel more welcome.
During the year, the BID helped welcome several new businesses to the Collar City including B-Rad's Bistro and Catering, Annick Designs Fine Artisan Jewelry, Muddaddy Flats and the Flying Chicken. The Charles F. Lucas Confectionery & Wine Bar also opened its doors at 12 Second St., downtown.
One Monument Square
There was also news about the former City Hall site at One Monument Square. The city is accepting bids for the purchase and development of the property until March 13. The request was made after plans for a $30 million apartment-retail complex being developed by the Nigro Companies and the Richman Group stalled after the latter pulled out. The site is set for mixed-use development such as office, retail, hotel and residential, and the request for proposals asks for a minimum purchase price of $1.5 million.
Hospital upgrades
On the medical front, in what is being billed as one of the largest private investments in the city's history, St. Peter's Health Partners unveiled a $150 million, 13-year plan for Troy's two hospitals that includes a new patient tower and parking garage at Samaritan Hospital, and eventually moves all inpatient care to Samaritan.
Eventually, Samaritan Hospital will be the city's only hospital; however, Mary's Hospital will continue as an acute care hospital with a full emergency department until 2023 when it will transition to providing outpatient services.
Cinema Art
Jim Conroy, an associate broker for Prudential Blake Commercial Realtors, confirmed that Saratoga Springs developer Sonny Bonacio purchased the former Cinema Art building on River Street under the Dauchy/River Triangle LLC, based out of Saratoga Springs with Keith Ferrara, who works for Bonacio Construction Inc., as organizer.
Conroy would not disclose how much the building was purchased for but said he had brokered it for the past year. It was previously owned by Cinema Art Theater Inc., based in Rochester.
This will be the fourth Troy building purchased by Bonacio as he owns the River Triangle and Dauchy buildings as well as the Keenan Building.
Starlite Music
Across the river in Albany County, in the Town of Colonie, demolition of the old Starlite Music Theater in Latham began in November, the first step in a planned redevelopment of 58 acres. The Galesi Group in Rotterdam plans to convert the site into a mix of residential, office and retail space. The company is partnering with the Town and Eugene Weiss, the former owner of the Latham Circle Mall, to redevelop the property at 629 Columbia St., near Route 9.
Latham Circle Mall
A few weeks later, in mid-December, the Town of Colonie Planning Board approved the demolition of the Latham Circle Mall.
Owners of the mall presented a plan to the town in August to demolish the mall and build a new open-air style shopping center known as the Shoppes at Latham Circle. Demolition is expected to start early in the new year and new tenants to be announced after that.
Harmony Mills
In the city of Cohoes, The Harmony Group held the groundbreaking for the newest phase of the Lofts at Harmony Mills, known as Harmony Mills West, in mid-December in the Lounge of the Loft at Harmony Mills at 100 N. Mohawk Street in Cohoes.
Once this project is completed, all the Harmony buildings -- including those built as early as 1837 -- will be restored to their original grandeur, according to Uri Kaufman, president and CEO of the Harmony Group.
City Lofts of Cohoes
In the Spindle City, work also continued on new market rate rental properties on Saratoga Street. The one-, two- and three-bedroom units are part of a project through Sheltertherm Properties and developer Jeff Myers called the City Lofts of Cohoes. Each of the two phases will complete 42 units.
College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering
In December, the college was awarded $1 million in funding through the Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Regional Economic Development Council initiative to launch the design phase for the world's first Zero Energy Nanotechnology building, which will enable innovative research, development and commercialization of green technologies, and fuel the attraction of thousands of green energy jobs and leading cleantech companies to the Empire State.
Capital Region Economic Development Council
The Capital District will get some $50.3 million for 84 local projects.
Among other projects awarded funding were: $562,803 to the City of Troy to build on improvements at Riverfront Park; $500,000 to support the NY CAP Research Alliance to encourage collaborative research among member organizations including RPI and Albany Medical Center to attract future federal and industry funding and $1 million to install a new biomass fueled cogeneration plant and gas fired steam turbine to produce additional steam and electricity at the Watervliet Arsenal to preserve the existing Army R&D and manufacturing operations.
GlobalFoundries won approval for a site plan to construct a technology development center alongside the $6.9 billion computer chip manufacturing plant at Luther Forest Technology Campus in Malta.
If plans for the second facility move forward, the company says its investment and capabilities in New York could be greatly expanded.

WOODSFIELD - Monroe Central and River have developed into quite the rivalry over the last several years.
It'll be renewed again Friday as the Seminoles begin the home portion of their schedule when the Pilots visit in a 7 p.m. kickoff.
The Pilots and Seminoles come into their PVC showdown riding different waves of emotion. River has rolled to a 2-0 start by trouncing both Fort Frye and Newcomerstown in the first two weeks.
"We hadn't beat Newcomerstown in three seasons, so to make a two-hour drive and get that victory was very important for us," Pilots coach Mike Flannery said. "You can throw the records out this week because it's River and Monroe. We know Monroe will come prepared to play and we'll have to do the same."
Monroe Central, meanwhile, is looking to get back on track after dropping a decisive 35-7 setback to rival Shadyside Friday. The Seminoles were victorious in Week 1 when they tripped Waterloo.
"We have to get better offensively," Circosta said. "We've not found any consistency on offense and our defense has been on the field far too long. The two teams we've played have turned the ball over 11 times against us, but we've not been able to capitalize."
Monroe Central has won the last three meetings with the Pilots, including last season's 14-0 victory in Hannibal.
"I am not sure we're getting Monroe at a good time," Flannery cautioned. "It's their home opener and they're coming off a loss to another rival. We've got the utmost respect for Jay Circosta and his program and his coaching staff. We know they'll have the I's dotted and the T's crossed for this week."
When Circosta popped in the Pilots' film, he thought he was looking again at Shadyside.
"In a lot of ways, (River) mirrors Shadyside," Circosta said. "They've got an experienced quarterback, two nice running backs, nice receivers and seasoned people up front. This will be another big test for us."
The Pilots' offense is led by senior quarterback Cody Caldwell. The veteran has passed for 393 yards and three touchdowns on 18 of 36 aerials.
River's ground game boasts a solid mix of power and speed thanks to Nick Asturi, who provides the power, and Jordan Sapp, who provides the speed. Asturi has ran for 241 yards and four touchdowns. Sapp, meanwhile, has added 212 yards.
"Nick and Jordan have been a good one-two punch for us," Flannery said. "We're going to attack teams with what we do best and that's being as balanced as we can be."
When Caldwell goes to the air, senior Kam Brown is the homerun hitter. He's made 12 receptions for 317 yards and three touchdowns this season. Dallas Necessary is the second-leading pass catcher with four grabs.
"We have to cut down on the amount of big plays we're allowing," Circosta said. "When you're not getting much going on offense, you just can't allow that many big plays."
The Seminoles' offense is triggered by senior quarterback Korey Lafferre. Sophomore Levi Brown is a solid running back option. Both were held primarily in check last week against the Tigers. Cameron Jorris is the Seminoles' big-play threat in the passing game.
"(Lafferre) is an athlete at quarterback," Flannery observed. "They've got several kids they can use offensively. We're definitely going to have to play well if we hope to win the game."
Lafferre has passed for 99 yards on 7 of 23 accuracy. He was picked off twice last week. Brown has ran for 167 yards on 32 carries, while Lafferre has ran for 124 yards on 29 carries. He scored the Seminoles' only touchdown last week.
"We've not really sustained anything offensively," Circosta said. "It's kind of tough when you're trying to get the offense going against teams the caliber of Shadyside and now River."
The Pilots' defense has been staunch. Brett Rosen, Evan Eggleston, Jonathan Stewart, Bryce Cross, Asturi and Sapp are Pilots' defensive leaders.
"I think they've got 10 of 11 (starters) back from last year and we had a tough time moving the ball last season against River," Circosta said. "They're solid all the way around, whether it's up front, at linebacker or in the secondary."

|Be on the lookout for spottedwing drosophila
|Written by By Whitney Cranshaw, CSU entomologist
The spottedwing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) is an insect of Asian origin that was first discovered in North America in 2008.
This insect has caused considerable concern because it is capable of damaging intact ripe fruit, particularly soft-fleshed fruit such as raspberries, strawberries and grapes.
The injury from this insect that is most likely to be observed is the presence of numerous, tiny pale-colored maggots in the flesh of ripe berries. If reared to adulthood, males of this species are identifiable by having a dark spot on the forewing.
The first Colorado record of this insect was from Fort Collins in 2012. It is important that surveys be done during the upcoming season to identify other areas where this important pest may have become established.

Hyaluronic acid is a type of glycosaminoglycan, a substance found naturally in the fluid that bathes joints, connective tissue and in the portion of the eye called the vitreous humor. It's also abundant in the dermis of the skin, the layer that lies just beneath the epidermis. Here, it's loosely bound to collagen and elastin fibers that give skin its firmness and ability to "bounce back" and hold its shape. Hyaluronic acid in the skin plays a role in cell growth, but its primary function is to attract and hold onto water. In fact, it can bind water up to a thousand times its own volume. With age, hyaluronic acid levels in the skin decline. Its connections with elastin and collagen fibers are also disrupted. This causes skin to lose some of the firmness and fullness it had in youth.
Because hyaluronic acid can bind and hold onto large amounts of water, it gives the dermis added fullness, causing the overlying skin to look firmer and more youthful. That's the whole basis behind dermal fillers like Restylane. Restylane is hyaluronic acid that's been chemically modified so it won't break down as rapidly. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons use injectable hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juviderm to add volume to areas of the face and to fill in wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid fillers have largely replaced bovine collagen fillers that were used in the past to fill in wrinkles. Not only is it less expensive, it's easier to store and there's no need to do skin testing to rule out an allergy to bovine collagen.
To add volume or fill in a line, dermatologists use a small needle to inject hyaluronic acid filler into the dermal layer of the skin in specific areas that need volume. It can also be injected into the lips to give fuller, more defined lips. Side effects of injections with hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Restylane include possible bruising, transient redness and discomfort during the injection process. For some types of dermal injections, a local nerve block may be used to numb the area, although most people tolerate the injections without significant discomfort. The effects of hyaluronic acid fillers lasts for four months or more before its gradually reabsorbed, and the injections have to be repeated.
Hyaluronic acid has a remarkable capacity to hold onto water. This makes it a popular ingredient in anti-aging skin care products. Some cosmetic and personal care products that may contain hyaluronic acid include facial moisturizers, eye creams, facial cleansers, neck creams, and other products formulated for dry or more mature skin. Hyaluronic acid doesn't penetrate the outer layer of the skin as readily as sodium hyalurate, the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, also an ingredient in some moisturizing and anti-aging products.
Sodium hyaluronate, due to its smaller size, is better able to make its way through the epidermis to reach the dermis where it can bind water and mimic the effects of natural hyaluronic acid. Even when hyaluronic acid remains on the surface of the skin, it acts as a powerful humectant, drawing water to the surface of the skin from the environment. Hyaluronic acid is usually combined with an emollient or occlusive moisturizing ingredient to hold in the moisture that hyaluronic acid draws to the skin surface. In very dry environments, hyaluronic acid can be drying since there's little water to draw from the environment. Therefore, it pulls water from the dermis underneath. Combining it with an occlusive or emollient helps to counteract this to some degree.
Is it safe? These days hyaluronic acid is mostly made by fermenting corn or soybeans instead of harvested from rooster combs as it was in the past. It has an excellent safety profile and is even used to treat joint problems such as osteoarthritis and as a lubricant for dry eyes. The Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database classifies it as a low-hazard ingredient. This also applies to its close cousin, sodium hyaluronate. Hyaluronic acid has few side effects or risks other than possible redness or bruising when used as a filler.

Trey Hillman Pregame Media Session: June 14
Coco to the D.L.
Add Coco Crisp to the list of Royals players who are currently on the Disabled List. The centerfielder went on the 15-day Disabled List today with a sore shoulder. Manager Trey Hillman said, "We are going to keep him out until that shoulder fully heals, he can take as much time as he needs." In his place on the active roster will be Tug Hulett. "He's a good ballplayer, he can be very versatile for us," said Hillman.
John Buck has been up and throwing in the last couple of days, but that is about the extent to which he can participate in activities. His back is quite sore and is need of constant and consistent rest. Mike Aviles is still resting his elbow, and Sidney Ponson had another encouraging bullpen session.

Human rights policy in Germany
The public consultation was held at Humboldt Universität.
The United Nations Human Rights Council regularly reviews the human rights situation in all UN member states. April 2013 will be the second time Germany has been the subject of this Universal Periodic Review (UPR). The German Government is producing a report to that end, which it has put up for discussion with non‑governmental organizations and members of the public as part of its preparations. The consultation took place on 5 December and was led by Markus Löning, the Government's Commissioner for Human Rights Policy.
Every four years or so, as part of the UN Human Rights Council UPR procedure, the human rights situation in every UN member state comes under scrutiny. Germany underwent the review for the first time in 2009, after it was instituted in 2007, and is due for renewed testing in April 2013.
The public consultation
Markus Löning (second from the left) with representatives of NGOs at the public consultation
In preparation for the UPR, the German Government is producing a report outlining the developments of the past four years. A public consultation was planned as part of that process, to give NGOs and members of the public an opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions. This was a first for Germany, as Human Rights Commissioner Markus Löning pointed out during the consultation at Berlin's Humboldt‑Universität. "We felt it was important for the public to take part and be included," he said.
Alongside various Government Ministries, several NGOs also sent representatives to take part, including Bread for the World, Forum Menschenrechte, Kindernothilfe and the asylum NGO Pro Asyl. One of the appeals emanating from that quarter was for the report's sections on racism, poverty and human trafficking to be made more nuanced and detailed. Jochen Motte from Forum Menschenrechte and Beate Wagner from the United Nations Association of Germany criticized Germany for its failure to ratify the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. They described the draft of the report as too vague in its explanation of the reasons for this and of what progress had been made towards possible ratification.
The same procedure for all states
The audience at Germany's first public consultation on a human rights report
The German Government has to submit its national report by 21 January 2013. Commissioner Löning said that the time between now and then would be used to assess the suggestions made by the NGOs. He also reiterated the fundamental importance of the UPR procedure and the work of the UN Human Rights Council, describing both as "of extraordinary significance" to civil society around the world. The key element of the UPR, he said, was that it treated all states as equals, reviewing big countries just the same as small ones and subjecting the states of Europe to exactly the same scrutiny as those in Africa or Latin America. That was what made it so important that Germany take the procedure seriously, he said, since "other countries are watching what is happening here".
The next stages of the UPR procedure
After the Government has submitted its national report, which it must do by 21 January, Germany will be on the agenda for the 16th session of the UPR Working Group in April 2013. Germany will have the opportunity to respond to the Human Rights Council's recommendations in or around September. Incorporating Germany's response, the report will then be officially adopted at the 17th session of the Human Rights Council in October 2013.
The UPR procedure examines the human rights situation in the country in question with reference to the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and all the UN human rights agreements the country has ratified.

My System:
Release 7.2.0_GA_2669.UBUNTU8_64 UBUNTU8_64 FOSS edition, Patch 7.2.0_P1.
"email@example.com" (testacc1 is older than testacc2)
Other two Domains:
The two accounts look with "zmprov ga ..." absolutely the same.
All two accounts can send mails with any sender address (option in the GUI).
My Problem:
"testacc1" is configured in the newest Thunderbird, also "testacc2".
I have created a second identity for all two accounts.
When I send a mail from "firstname.lastname@example.com" to me it received me with "firstname.lastname@example.com".
When I send a mail from "firstname.lastname@example.com" to me it received me with "firstname.lastname@example.com", but that is wrong.
When I send a mail from "firstname.lastname@example.com" to me it received me with "email@example.com".
When I send a mail from "email@example.com" to me it received me with "firstname.lastname@example.com".
With the second account everything works fine.
Thunderbird is configured the same for all two accounts.
Has someone an idea why this happens?
Is maybe not everything in saved in ldap and I have to change it somewhere else?

Cyclones Prepare For Big 12 Championships
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State gymnastics team (4-10 overall, 1-1 Big 12) will compete in the 2014 Big 12 Championships on Saturday at 3 p.m. CT at WVU Coliseum in Morgantown, W. Va. The Cyclones will not only be competing for positioning in the Big 12, but also fighting for a spot in the NCAA Regionals.
Iowa State is currently one of eight squads fighting for one of the last three spots remaining at Regionals. Only the top-36 teams ranked by their regional qualifying score (RQS) can make it to Regionals.
The Cyclones can assure themselves a bid with a meet score of 196.025 or better at the Big 12 Championships. That score would match their previous season-high set on Feb. 7 against West Virginia.
Iowa State touts three gymnasts who received All-Big 12 Championship team honors at the 2013 Championships. Milan Ivory (vault-9.875), Camille Santerre-Gervais (bars-9.900) and Caitlin Brown (beam-9.875) all finished in the top three of their respective events to earn the championship team honors.
The Cyclones will also be searching for their first individual conference title since Celine Paulus took home the 2012 Big 12 title on vault with a score of 9.950.

Maintenance Update:
* -Resource management adjustments based on the operating system detected.
If you use the Xliveless hack, you should wait until Listener releases a version that supports this patch before installing it(That is unless you don't mind RGSC and GFWL loading again, and don't forget to put the savegames back in the original savegames folder if that's the case). I'm gonna wait a couple days myself. It might actually work anyway depending how the DLL works. If it does an actual version check (or maybe a CRC check) of GTAIV.exe then it won't work, but if it was just made to be compatible with 126.96.36.199 then it might just work with this.
I'm interested to know how this effects Windows 7 since that hasn't officially been released yet. Will it see it as and optimize it for Vista?
Most people at (that other GTA forum) are either experiencing no change or better performance, but some people actually experienced a performance drop. I recommend setting a system restore point before installing the patch in case it doesn't have a positive effect. That is unless you don't mind doing the traveling carnival thing (uninstalling and reinstalling the game and then reinstalling the 220.127.116.11 patch).

The Council on Foreign Relations' (CFR) Fellowship Program offers unique opportunities for mid-career professionals focusing on international relations. The program affords fellows the opportunity to broaden their perspective of foreign affairs and to pursue proposed research, with a placement at either CFR or another institution in New York City or Washington, DC.
Fellows are recruited year-round. The duration of each fellowship is generally twelve months. The program awards a stipend, which varies with each fellowship. Fellows are considered independent contractors rather than employees of CFR. More information on each fellowship is listed below.
Launched in 1967, the International Affairs Fellowship (IAF) is a distinguished program offered by CFR to assist mid-career scholars and professionals in advancing their analytic capabilities and broadening their foreign policy experience. The program aims to strengthen career development by helping outstanding individuals acquire and apply foreign policy skills beyond the scope of their professional and scholarly achievements. CFR awards approximately ten fellowships annually to highly accomplished individuals who have a capacity for independent work and who are eager to undertake serious foreign policy analysis. The IAF Program is only open to mid-career professionals who have a demonstrated commitment to a career in foreign policy. The program welcomes applicants from a broad range of professional, academic, and personal backgrounds. Qualified candidates must be U.S. citizens and permanent residents who are eligible to work in the United States. CFR does not sponsor for visas.
The International Affairs Fellowship in Nuclear Security (IAF-NS), sponsored by the Stanton Foundation, offers university-based scholars valuable hands-on experience in the nuclear security policymaking field and places selected fellows in U.S. government positions or international organizations for a period of twelve months to work with practitioners. CFR awards approximately two fellowships annually. The IAF-NS is only open to faculty members with tenure or on tenure-track lines at accredited universities and who propose to spend a year working in government or at an international organization. Qualified candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are eligible to work in the United States and be between the ages of twenty-nine and fifty.
Founded in 1997, the International Affairs Fellowship in Japan (IAF-J), sponsored by Hitachi, Ltd., seeks to strengthen mutual understanding and cooperation between the rising generations of leaders in the United States and Japan. The program provides a selected group of mid-career U.S. citizens the opportunity to expand their professional horizons by spending a period of research or other professional activity in Japan. The IAF-J is only open to mid-career professionals who have a demonstrated commitment to a career in foreign policy and have an interest in U.S.-Japan relations. The program welcomes applicants from a broad range of professional, academic, and personal backgrounds. Knowledge of the Japanese language is not a requirement. Qualified candidates must be U.S. citizens and permanent residents who are eligible to work in the United States. CFR does not sponsor for visas.
Established in 1999, the National Intelligence Fellowship provides an opportunity for an outstanding senior intelligence officer to participate in and contribute to CFR activities and events. Each year, candidates from the intelligence community are nominated by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Launched in 1949 with support from the Carnegie Corporation, the Edward R. Murrow Press Fellowship seeks to promote the quality of responsible and discerning journalism that exemplified the work of Edward R. Murrow. One CFR resident fellowship is awarded each year to a distinguished foreign correspondent or editor. The program enables the fellow to engage in sustained analysis and writing, expand his or her intellectual and professional horizons, and extensively participate in CFR's active program of meetings and events.
Each year, the Chiefs of Staff of the Army and the Air Force, the Chief of Naval Operations, and the Commandants of the Coast Guard and the Marine Corps nominate an outstanding officer from their respective services as a candidate for a Military Fellowship. CFR usually awards four to five such fellowships annually. The program enables the selected officers to broaden their understanding of international relations by spending a year in residence at CFR's headquarters in New York.
Made possible by a generous grant from the Stanton Foundation, the fellowship offers scholars studying nuclear security issues the opportunity to spend a period of twelve months at CFR offices in New York or Washington, DC, conducting policy-relevant research. CFR awards two fellowships annually. Qualified candidates must be postdoctoral fellows or junior faculty in a tenure-track position at a recognized university. Junior faculty at law schools or with a law degree as their terminal degree are also eligible. The program is only open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who are eligible to work in the United States. CFR does not sponsor for visas.
