Strasbourg : Michelin's recommendations
One of two European "capitals", Strasbourg is the seat of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, yet manages to retain its human scale around its Gothic cathedral and old Petite France quarter. A trendsetting place since the Middle Ages, it protects its heritage and the environment with tramways and cycle paths. At the heart of Alsace, Strasbourg offers all that the region is celebrated for: foie gras, wine, chocolates and eaux de vie.

Chinatown political representatives joined TV correspondents and reporters at a well-attended press conference held at the Greater Chinatown Community Association (GCCA) in Manhattan's Chinatown last week to broadcast the latest information about disaster support for Sandy survivors. Watch it on SINOVISION.net.
GCCA, an affiliated agency of the Archdiocese of New York's federation, is one of more than fifteen social service agencies extending from Long Island to the Hudson Valley providing local, on-the-ground disaster case management to individuals with homes or businesses damaged by Superstorm Sandy. The New York State Disaster Case Management Program, managed by Catholic Charities Community Services, Archdiocese of New York, will provide approximately 200 disaster case managers to assist individuals and families in the 13 -New York counties hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy.
Designed to streamline support and avoid frustration and confusion, the Disaster Case Management program whittles down the complex system of disaster support by providing survivors with a single point of contact to access a broad range of resources. This allows people still reeling from the loss of jobs and homes to avoid the need to search out multiple organizations that might respond to their various needs.
Instead, survivors can relate their experiences and submit their documentation to a single, local disaster case manager who guides them through the recovery process. This local model of providing disaster support proves particularly important in sites such as Chinatown where language barriers can make a confusing process almost overwhelming.
An elderly Chinese man with lung cancer whose basement apartment flooded during the storm, for example, received different answers from so many different places that, by the time he came to GCCA for help, "he was ready to give up," said GCCA Executive Director Chih-Ping (Andy) Yu.
Disaster case managers are both advocates and expediters for those affected by Sandy. They first assess if clients have unmet needs related to the storm. If people qualify, they will be assigned a disaster case manager to serve as a single point of contact for all assistance, including that coming from insurance companies, private organizations, and government. Then, based on interactions with the client, the service coordinators create individualized disaster recovery plans, including advocating for access to needed services, coordinating benefits, and making referrals for services outside the scope of disaster case management. Existing Sandy-related services for individuals and families range from direct federal and state grants and Small Business Administration loans to insurance advocacy and referrals to the range of not-for-profit and voluntary programs that have been established.
The program is modeled after a similar one run by Catholic Charities Community Services in 34 counties across New York State following Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee in 2011.
Eligibility for the Sandy New York State Disaster Case Management Program is open to anyone with an unmet need that arose from or was exacerbated by Superstorm Sandy, even those who have not applied to FEMA for assistance or are undocumented.
Looking for help?
- Call 1-855-258-0483 to find the location nearest you.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LoriB Great color/perfect for play area It can be difficult to find children's products that look great in an adult space. Bought this rug for the play area in a kitchen/great room. The colors are true to the photo and fit our color scheme perfectly. The design is hip and fun, not cutesy. Quality is very good. We love it! May 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by claudicris Cute, but shedding...a lot!!! This is a very cute rug, it is gender neutral, has nice colors. But it is shedding a lot!!!!!! I have had it for a few months, but it continues to shed. I may be returning it if the shedding doesn't stop. January 24, 2013

Life is a power-up featured in the original Grand Theft Auto, in its expansion packs and in Grand Theft Auto 2.
In GTA 1 and GTA 2 the player has a limited amount of attempts to finish the chapters. If the player is wasted then she/he loses a life. The player starts with four lives and if he had run ot of them the game is over and cannot finish the district and have to start it all over again. To prevent it: collect as many lifes as you can and play safe.
The number of Lives is indicated at the top right corner of the screen with green colors in GTA 1, GTA London and GTA 2.

Reviews for Barley Beef Stew
"Great stew!! I used round steak & would definitely add more liquid next time. But it was delicious!!"
"Campbell's canned Beef & Barley soup was one of my favorites growing up. This is like an up-scale adult version (now that I can cook). Made it over the weekend and reheated for week-night dinner.Yummy"
"Very tasty, comforting, basic recipe. My husband thought it was perfect. I would like to jazz it up a little with some red wine and spices for myself. Will make it again both ways."
"Very good! I substituted baby butter beans for the green beans and used beef broth instead of just water. My family loved it!"
"It was good. I'd add a little more liquid to it next time because it was a bit to thick for us."

Several Western ski resort towns, including Aspen, Telluride, Whistler and Breckenridge, have recently talked about banning plastic bags. And since Park City prides itself on being a trendsetter, particularly when it comes to environmental issues, local leaders have also been tossing around the idea.
Their heart is in the right place. A glance along the roadsides in Park City and Summit County is proof that plastic bags, especially the lightweight variety carried out of grocery stores and Walmarts by the bale every day, are becoming an environmental scourge. They can be found wrapped around fences and sagebrush from Pinebrook to Park City and from Wanship to Woodland.
Even when they are thrown into the garbage or, at best, are placed in the recycling bin, they continue to degrade the environment. According to the local experts at Recycle Utah, they take up valuable space in the landfill and do not decompose. Instead they disintegrate into toxic particles and leach into lakes and oceans.
So the sooner people are weaned from their single-use plastic shopping bags, the better. But an outright ban is probably a bad idea.
Think Prohibition.
Typically, any time something is banned, demand for that item increases. A plastic bag ban could easily instigate a backlash. In the end, the rule would likely be repealed, the same people who carried reusable bags would continue to do so, and plastic bag defenders would be even more resolute in their demand for throwaway bags.
Better to think like a clever parent who knows that the carrot is always more effective than the stick.
The Market at Park City, for instance, has the right idea. The Market offers a nickel rebate for every bag a shopper brings in to use. Whole Foods also rewards customers for providing their own bags by making a small donation to a local charity for every recycled bag.
Recycle Utah and Park City Municipal could probably come up with a lot of additional incentives. In 2009, Park City participated in a competition to use more recycled bags than other ski towns. The contest was sponsored by The Colorado Association of Ski Towns and the winner, Basalt, Colo., received a solar panel for a local elementary school. It's a good bet that a similar contest would fire up Park City's competitive spirit once again.
In the meantime, a little peer-group pressure, support from businesses that are willing to come up with their own incentives and creative leadership could be much more effective in the long term than a divisive outright ban.

ZF-7628: Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Chain does not urldecode the path info
In Zend/Controller/Router/Route/Chain.php on line 75, in the match() method:
$path = trim($request->getPathInfo(), '/');
Then the match method proceeds to call match on all the routes in the chain, with the argument partial set to true.
When partial is set to true, the sub-routes do not urldecode the path info. Since it is never done in the Chain route itself, it is not done at all.
I have fixed the issue by modifying Zend/Controller/Router/Route/Chain.php on line 75 from:
$path = trim($request->getPathInfo(), '/');
$path = trim( urldecode( $request->getPathInfo() ), '/');
After modifying this line and testing my application, I do not seem to have introduced any new bugs.
Assigning to Ben.
Why this bug not fixed? It's critical for cyrillic charsets
Fixed with the issue ZF-3527.

Introducing Celestron's New Aplanatic Schmidt Telescope Design!
EdgeHD is an aplanatic Schmidt telescope designed to produce aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. The optical system was designed to reduce more than just off-axis star coma, but also to give an astrograph quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view.
EdgeHD Whitepaper
The Celestron Product Development team has released a whitepaper outlining the technology behind EdgeHD. This paper describes the development goals, design decisions, optical performance, and their practical realization in 8-, 9.25-, 11-, and 14-inch apertures. We include cross-sections of the EdgeHD series, comparative spot diagrams for the EdgeHD and competing "coma-free" Schmidt-Cassegrain designs, a table with specifications for visual and imaging, graphics showing how to place sensors at the optimum back-focus distance, and details on the construction and testing of the EdgeHD telescope series.
Click here to download the whitepaper.
True Astrograph Quality
Many optical designs that advertise themselves as "astrograph" quality actually only produce pinpoint stars across a curved focal plane. While this may be acceptable for visual observing, stars will appear out of focus at the edge when used with a flat chip sensor of a digital camera. EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than other competing coma-free designs. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today.
Improved Performance
Superior edge performance not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars but actually improves the resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture. Starbright XLT® Coatings coupled with Celestron's StarBright XLT coating group on every surface, EdgeHD optics gives you maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum.
Mechanical Features
In addition to Celestron's new optimized optical design, the EdgeHD tube has been redesigned to make sure you get the most from your optics each and every night.
Mirror Clutches - Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when rotating the tube around the mount. The flexible rods allow the mirror to be held in place without putting any force or pressure on the mirror assembly, keeping the image centered in the eyepiece (or chip).
Tube Vents - Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated 60 micron micro-mesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in.
Fastar Versatility - The EdgeHD is the most versatile imaging scope available today. At its native f/10, you can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects. With the optional reducer lens (coming soon), you can increase your field of view without sacrificing optical performance. A barlow gives you the added power for high resolution planetary, lunar and solar imaging. And of course, all EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar® compatible for ultra fast f/2 wide field imaging. Each tube has been fitted with a removable secondary mirror and are opto-mechanically aligned on a laser bench to ensure they are axially symmetric in any configuration.
CGE PRO Tracking Data
The following graphs display R.A. worm gear tracking accuracy of the CGE Pro Equatorial mount in 4 conditions: Figure 1 – Raw unguided tracking that isolates the periodic error; Figure 2 – Tracking with Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC) enabled; Figure 3 – Guided tracking with an autoguider; and Figure 4 – Guided tracking with an autoguider and PPEC enabled. Data was acquired from Celestron's engineering team using an EdgeHD 800 optical tube and NexImage camera at f/10. This data represents the typical performance of a CGE Pro under average seeing conditions from urban skies in Torrance, CA. Figure 2 has a cubic fit applied to the graph, and Figures 1, 3 and 4 have linear drift removed (to better show repeatable error). All Figures show 22 minutes of tracking, which covers 4 full rotations of the CGE Pro R.A. worm gear.
Figure 1. This graph displays the R.A. worm gear tracking accuracy for a typical CGE Pro equatorial mount. The graph shows 4 periods of the worm gear which yields about +/-7 arc seconds of periodic error. The minimal periodic error is both very predictable and gradual, allowing short unguided images to be taken, or much longer exposures with extremely accurate tracking when used with an autoguider.
Figure 2. With the CGE Pro's Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC) enabled, most of the periodic error is eliminated, leaving behind lesser tracking errors caused by atmospheric turbulence, wind, and opto-mechanical flexure. PPEC brings the CGE Pro's R.A. tracking accuracy to about +/-2 arc seconds, allowing even longer unguided exposures (for uses like Hyperstar imaging).
Figure 3. Autoguiding with the CGE Pro provides consistent tracking accuracy to within +/-2 arc seconds under average seeing conditions. Autoguiding provides an easy way to sustain long-exposure astro-images without excessive tracking error or drift.
Figure 4. With autoguiding and PPEC enabled, we can take full advantage of the CGE Pro's stability and tracking accuracy. Even under average seeing conditions, PPEC + autoguiding easily yields tracking accuracy of less than +/-2 arc seconds. Note that tracking errors of the mount have dropped so far below the noise floor set by the seeing conditions that they cannot be quantitatively distinguished from zero. This combination will provide the best tracking accuracy, resulting in sharp, round stars in your astro-images.

ZF-3033: _loadNorm() not working as designed.
In Zend_Search_Lucene_Index_SegmentInfo the private function _loadNorm($fieldNum) does not use the parameter passed in $fieldNum.
It loops over the $this->_fields array with a foreach that assigns a new value to $fieldNum.
foreach ($this->_fields as $fieldNum => $fieldInfo) {
if ($fieldInfo->isIndexed) {
$this->_norms[$fieldNum] = $normfFile->readBytes($this->_docCount);
This is corrupting the $_norms array by adding empty elements to the array. I think that the intention is to load only the normalization data for the field being searched so the following line would suffice
$this->_norms[$fieldNum] = $normfFile->readBytes($this->_docCount);
I discovered this problem when using the Lucene collections created by the IBM Omnifind Yahoo! edition search engine. I posted more info here: http://zfforums.com/zend-framework-components-13/…
Please evaluate and categorize/assign as necessary.
Great thanks for your report! I also looked through the details in your post at ZFForum.
The bug is in some other place..
foreach ($this->_fields as $fNum => $fieldInfo) {
if ($fieldInfo->isIndexed) {
$this->_norms[$fNum] = $normfFile->readBytes($this->_docCount);
Iterates through all fields and this is correct. I've changed $fieldNum variable name to $fNum, to increase code readability and make everyone not confused with two differed meaning of input variable $fieldNum and iterating variable $fNum
If index segment uses single norms file, then all norms are stored within .nrm file instead of set of files (.f0, .f1, .f3, ...) All norms are read at once at first request in this case.
That looks like .nrm file doesn't have enough data or Zend_Search_Lucene has some bug in some other place.
Could you attach your index to the issue for test purposes?
The problem is still observed in 1.6RC1 so I have included the following for testing: + /IndexSource (HTML source) + /collections (Omnifind collection) + /library-1.6RC1 Search (Zend/Search) + /Search_Omnifind_index.php (demo searches for 'test' and returns 1 hit; this matches the result set when the same search is run on Omnifind)
I have patched /library-1.6RC1/Zend/Search/Lucene/Index/Segmentinfo.php so that the demo works with the Omnifind collection (line 951)
Just installed 1.6.0 and this problem is not occurring!
OK Good.
There were some changes within Zend_Search_Lucene code before 1.6 release, so it could be fixed earlie.
Nevertheless, I keep issue opened since it has to be checked. Just decrease priority to Minor.

Jack Landon, 12, and his younger sister, Ashley, accompany their veterinarian mother and photographer father to Yellowstone Park. Mrs. Landon has been called in to investigate an incident in which a hunting dog was purportedly chased onto park land and killed by a pack of wolves. The family dynamics are complicated by Troy, a troubled teen who is in the temporary foster care of the Landons. Due to miscommunication and unforseen circumstances, the young people end up spending a freezing night alone in the wild. Arrogant and condescending, Jack tries to assume control of the group, but Troy has his own agenda. Ashley, annoyed by her brother's attitude, asserts herself, and Jack finds that he must cooperate rather than dominate. The kids witness the shooting of a wolf and fear that the armed man may still be around. Throughout the night, they stay with the wounded wolf around a fire and talk and tell stories. In the morning, they are rescued and each has been affected by the ordeal. The wolf is saved and the mystery of the stalker is solved. This exciting book emphasizes the natural beauty and dangers of the wild. It includes several pages of full-color photos and facts about the Wolf Restoration Project and the nature of wolves.

In 1972, director/producer Sarah Kernochan won an Academy Award for her first film, Marjoe, a documentary about a wildly popular and totally fraudulent evangelical preacher. Since then, the 63-year-old New Yorker has built a modern-day renaissance career, writing songs and soundtracks, stories and screenplays (9 1/2 Weeks, Impromptu, What Lies Beneath) and earning another Oscar for Thoth, a 2002 documentary short about a street performer. But it wasn't until Kernochan, who had also published a novel, Dry Hustle, in 1977, began writing a second book more than three decades later that she found "pure ecstasy" in taking ownership of her work.
With Jane Was Here (Grey Swan Press), the writer lets her imagination loose on a small Massachusetts town, exploring reincarnation, karma and religion in a dark and suspenseful mystery. A week after the novel's release, More spoke to Kernochan about the trials and rewards of following your passion.
MORE: You're a screenwriter, filmmaker, novelist and musician. What's the common thread in your career?
Sarah Kernochan: The common thread is simply writing or, in the general sense, creating. When ideas come to me or stories present themselves, I don't immediately say I'm going to write that. I say, what form will this be best presented in? Sometimes it's just a tiny idea that fits in a song.
When it comes to the two documentaries that I've made, the characters were so flamboyant that you could not possibly invent them. They properly belonged in a documentary. And a documentary is a form of writing. There is the same amount of storytelling structure.
Screenplays were a way to make money—plus, I love movies—and that is more of a profession for me. It was many years before I got around to writing a script for my own pleasure.
Writing a novel right now was very, very important to me. As a screenwriter at my age, you can feel the opportunities ebbing. Part of it has to do with the economy but part of it has to do with a long-acknowledged bias against age in the business. It's a rude awakening when it happens to you. You walk into a meeting and it's like you've interrupted your son's frat party. I'm still working and it's still fun and it's still lucrative, but finally as I see the next couple decades in front of me, I have to clear things away so that I own my work. The hoops you have to jump though on a movie are unending. It means that only when you write the first draft of a script are you alone to do what you want. So I really needed to do a book, and that was pure ecstasy for me.
More: What inspired Jane Was Here?
SK: I kept coming back to this idea of having blood on your hands for a crime that you couldn't even remember, because it happened in a previous life. That image of blood appearing spontaneously on someone's hands—an ordinary housewife even, who doesn't know why this is happening to her.
I could never figure out what story to build around it. I think what finally switched it on for me is that I read a story in a book by [medical intuitive] Caroline Myss. She met a guy who claimed to remember not his previous life but where he was in between. It made him unable to connect with his current life. He felt very dispirited about this lifetime because he remembered too much. He had been let through from one life to the next without having his memory cleansed.
That's what gave me the idea of a character who can't really relate to her present life until she finds out the mystery of what happened to her 150 years ago. Obviously it requires a stretch for a reader who doesn't believe in reincarnation, but I know there are people out there who are willing to suspend belief for a story like this.
More: What was your biggest challenge in writing the book?
SK: Getting the time to write it. I have a busy career as a screenwriter. The book actually took four years. The first two-thirds were written in my spare time, and then I took a year off to finish.
The hard part was really playing the part of God. You have to put yourself in the place of a divinity who is designing the next incarnation to balance the previous incarnation. You have to say, how shall this person answer for sins of the past? What things will they carry over? Sometimes if you die of a certain thing in a previous life, it returns as a phobia or a weakness in your body. Someone who died of tuberculosis might have asthma. For all of the characters who have corresponding incarnations in the past, I had to contrive present lives for them that were very full and rich in detail and yet had echoes of the past so that the reader can make the connections.
More: What kind of reader did you have in mind?
SK: I was hoping to appeal to the reader who is interested in the more gently paranormal mystery, like The Lovely Bones. Obviously with young adults, they're all interested in the paranormal. It's always been an interest of mine, but I feel like vampires and werewolves are really tired stuff. I'm more interested in exploring my own beliefs through a richly plotted story so readers aren't really aware of the author's spiritual beliefs—in the same way that Alice Sebold had her own views of heaven in The Lovely Bones, but she didn't hit you over the head with it.
More: Your last book came out in 1977. What was it like to return to writing in novel form, reinventing your career nearly 40 years later?
SK: Nora Ephron is a friend and is very inspiring to me. She seems to reinvent herself every decade. She was one of the early bloggers at a point when she felt like she hit a bump in the road. She was blogging because, like me, she just has to write. That led into a complete resurgence of her career. If you just keep expressing yourself, the means in which you express yourself are going to change according to your life changes. I never sat down and decided, I'm in my sixth decade now, I've got to be completely different, I've got to write a novel. It's all the same urge that has ruled me my whole life. I don't know what retiring is, and I know other people like that because they've never needed permission to do what they do. I don't need anyone's permission to write.
More: You prefer writing novels, then?
SK: It's all I ever wanted to do. But it's a very difficult way to make a living. Now, in particular, when not as much fiction is being bought by publishers and it's not being read as much, it feels like a luxury to write novels.
More: You made a trailer for Jane Was Here. Did your roots in the movie industry have anything to do with that?
SK: Making trailers for books is being done more and more. If you're lucky enough to get it to go viral, you can really sell your book. This is something I know how to do, so it's pretty easy. I wrote a script and I went up to Boston where I was teaching advanced screenwriting at Emerson College and directed it using the Emerson students as crew and the cinematography teacher and Emerson equipment for free.
More: Can you see the book ever becoming a movie?
SK: I'm a screenwriter and I'm not sure how I would adapt that book. There are very few reincarnation movies—maybe four or five. That's because if you're really going to show those parallel lives, the audience can get very confused. If you're doing it properly, no one resembles himself from one life to the next. If you have Cameron Diaz living one life and Mel Gibson living the next life, the audience can't follow it. I'd love to see Jane Was Here as a movie, but I'm not holding my breath.
More: Books with supernatural themes are very popular right now. What do you think sets Jane Was Here apart?
SK: I think it's more plotted as a mystery. It was conceived as a puzzle. I can't think of any other paranormal books that are this sort of interlocking jigsaw, which to me is how I see karma and reincarnation—I do see it that way, as a beautiful puzzle that we only understand a little tiny fraction of.
More: What's next for you?
SK: I'm in the middle of a script now, but these things are so transient. I'm going to be writing another script soon, but this time with my daughter. It's a mother-daughter comedy.
It's important not to look self-consciously to the future, but to simply do the work that's in front of you, without looking up. Time will unroll at it's own speed, but as long as you're doing something which engages you in the moment, you will be happy.
I think that's why older women like gardening so much. It's a project and it necessitates your attention and it's a great pleasure to grow things. Simply do the work in front of you with pleasure, or take the trip that you've always wanted to take without thinking of it ending.

The beyerdynamic DT-770 is the studio headphone per se! It is extremely robust and fits very tight and secure on the head. It, however, is not the most comfortable of its kind. If you do not wear the headphone each day for hours, it is a good choice.[...]
The DT 770 is circumaural and features a closed design with an excellent ambient noise attenuation making it ideal for monitoring. Its slight bass boost helps unmixed material to achieve better results.
www.apfeltech.net 02/2015Title: Testing the DT 770 Pro from beyerdynamicAuthor: Kevin WammerTranslated from the original German article[...]
I use the DT 770 Pro for almost anything, when I am sitting at home at my desk. I use it for watching movies, listening to music, recording and editing podcasts. Due to the soft over-ear cups the headphone is never uncomfortable and there is no pressure even after four- or five-hour sessions. The padded headband helps in this case. The sound of this headphone is rather bass heavy (...), but a lot more comfortable than many other pair; the highs and mids remain natural as far as possible.
[...]An advantage of the closed design is that the ambient noise is almost completely attenuated. When I listen to music someone could shout at me and I would not hear them. The same also works vice versa; music can hardly penetrate through the headphone, which is particularly interesting when podcasting.[...]If I had to draw a conclusion, I would say that I am particularly satisfied with this headphone due to the closed design and comfort. The headphones are very robust, the sound is good (...)
www.delamar.de 10/2014Title: beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 32 ohms test reportAuthor: Felix BaarßTranslated from the original German article[...]
With the beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 32 Ohm, the manufacturer has made a subtle adjustment to the popular studio headphone - this time it's a pair of headphones, which can be, in fact, loud enough to be operated on mobile phones, tablets, laptops & Co. With this project the 32-ohm version was sent on a mission which it fulfilled perfectly.
As before, this monitoring system scores mainly with a neutral frequency response, however, with the deep bass and the slightly shy low mids the curve appreciably kicks out, but that's ok for me and is a welcome variety. The attention to detail is very good the highs are present without being shrill. For a headphone with a closed design, the 32-ohm version scores with a good, reasonably "open" spatial sound; on the virtual stage, which extends far, all of the individual sounds can be heard well and separated from each other. The pulse fidelity is exemplary in this price range, short stops come with small drawbacks so fast and brisk, that the sound remains very "disciplined" and never tends to unduly soften the sound.
Even the workmanship of this beyerdynamic model deserves a good score. The construction is still robust and it is even difficult with brute force to harm this headphone. Finally, the high comfort of wearing is to be commended with which even long sessions are completely pleasant.

www.delamar.de 11/2011Title: beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO Review (80 Ohm)Author: Felix Barß
Translated from the original German article[...]Summary of the beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO test reportWith the beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO the German manufacturer from Heilbronn provides a headphone which is suitable for monitoring purposes and for recording studios. Listening to music free from demands on an absolutely exact reproduction is even more fun. The workmanship is good. It is no problem to accept that the ear cups are made of plastic, because the weight is still acceptable. The velour ear pads are great and are not as sweaty as leather. This allows long sessison with a high comfort. The attention to detail in reproduction is really fine and the smooth sound almost free from distortion convinces with bass, mids or highs. Furthermore, the DT 770 PRO impresses with a spatial presentation, which is not often found in this price category. But with this headphone there is still something to blame. If you prefer a completely linear frequency response, the slight overemphasis of the bass will not suit you. The prominent bass frequencies ensure that the mids are slightly moved into the background, what complicates the exact judgement of a mix for untrained ears. All in all the beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO is a great headphone, which we can recommend with a good conscience.

College Hockey:Murphy's late goal pushes Niagara to 'entertaining' win over Canisius
LEWISTON, N.Y. — Niagara winger Ryan Murphy's backhander on Canisius goaltender Tony Capobianco snapped a 0-0 tie at the 15:36 mark of the third period and would be all the offense that the 14th-ranked Purple Eagles would need in a 2-0 home win over their Atlantic Hockey archrivals.
The victory gave Niagara (18-5-5, 17-2-2 AHA) a 2-1 season series win over the Golden Griffins (11-14-5, 10-9-2) and earned the Purple Eagles a measure of revenge for their 2-0 loss at Canisius on Thursday.
"You're just hoping your best player makes a play and he did; the timing of it was unbelievable," said Niagara coach Dave Burkholder, whose squad was without injured 12-goal scorer Giancarlo Iuorio for the 10th consecutive game. "That's a as close of a weekend series as we've had. That was a track meet. Both teams on the rush were dangerous. Good goaltending. Man, that was an entertaining hockey game."
"I thought it was a super-intense game," Griffs' coach Dave Smith added. "Both team had chances. Both teams played physical. Both teams played hard. That was an extremely high level of hockey played, both ways."
Murphy's goal was both sudden and strange. Operating near the red line deep in his own zone, Niagara forward Marc Zanette scooped up a loose puck and flipped a sailing, cross-ice saucer pass that barely cleared the outstretched stick of Canisius winger Preston Shupe, caught defenseman Ben Danford flat-footed in the neutral zone and ricocheted off the side boards in the Canisius zone before bouncing off an official.
Murphy swooped in on the bouncing puck from the left wing, cut hard to the Griffs' net and lifted a sharp backhanded shot from a nearly impossible angle at the left post to beat Capobianco.
"The puck went across ice in the D-zone and we like to throw it into the other side and skate onto it," Murphy said. "I just put my head down and skated as fast as I could and once I got to the blue [line], I put my head up and the puck was right in front of me. I took it right to the net, went to the backhand and it went right in the net."
The goal broke Capobianco's 142:36 shutout streak over Niagara. The junior netminder shut out the Purple Eagles 2-0 two nights ago. He was last beaten by a Niagara scorer at 13:01 of the second period in the Purple Eagles' 2-1 win over the Griffs in Buffalo on Nov. 16.
"I just read icing," said Capobianco, who finished with 42 saves. "Once [Murphy] got the puck, I couldn't get my depth and kind of in desperation, threw a poke check, but he was just too far away. It was a pretty good shot."
Niagara center Patrick Divjak collected an empty-net goal with three seconds remaining in the game.
Purple Eagles' goaltender Carson Chubak was terrific as usual, stopping 32 shots to earn his nation-leading sixth shutout of the season. Chubak, a Hobey Baker Award nominee, is fifth in Division I hockey in goals-against average (1.71), fourth in save percentage (.943) and third in winning percentage (.759).
"A couple key faceoff wins, some blocked shots and Carson was very solid," Burkholder said.
Niagara continued its domination at Dwyer Arena. The Purple Eagles now have an 18-game unbeaten streak that stretches back to Feb. 11, 2012 and are scheduled to play a home-and-home series with Robert Morris next weekend.
With six games remaining in the regular season, it appears that Niagara — with 36 points — is safely slotted into first place in Atlantic Hockey. The picture is not nearly as clear for Canisius, whose 22 points currently have the Griffs tied for fourth place in the conference with Holy Cross.
The road does not get easier for Canisius, who will make the cross-country trip to Colorado Springs next weekend to face Air Force. After an uneven three months to open the 2012-13 season, Frank Serratore's Falcons are 6-2-3 since the start of the new year.
The Griffs will have to make the trip without center Matt Grazen, who will serve the final two games of his seven-game suspension for an illegal hit from behind on Air Force forward George Michalke, who has not played since sustaining a facial injury and concussion during the Oct. 25 contest in Buffalo.

What does the melody of a lullaby bring to your mind? Rocking your first child to sleep? A nursery filled with stuffed animals and painted clouds on the walls? The softness of a baby's cheek? Or, perhaps such a melody awakens long-dormant memories of a child you loved and lost, or simply stirs desires to one day have a child of your own. A lullaby seems the most innocent of musical compositions, but it can mean so many things to each and every one of us.
The tinkling of a music box, playing Brahms Lullaby, emanates from the public-address system overhead and filters through hospital corridors and waiting rooms heralding the joyful arrival of yet another newborn. But I wasn't at the hospital; rather, I sat miles away in my work cubicle, headset on transcribing a diagnosis of B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a two-year old boy. As I did so often, I paused with the bittersweet intrusion of the lullaby, which served as a background to this particular dictation. As a medical transcriptionist, I should've been used to the irony; cases like this are a constant reminder that too often children are "called home" early. What would be this 2-year-old's fate? Would he be like the child I've never forgotten who, when I was a teen-age hospital volunteer, spent the last few weeks of her life alone and unvisited in a dark hospital room? Or, would he be one of the luckier beaming children I passed when, years later, I worked at our Kaiser medical center? I would marvel at how these children bereft of hair, dark circles beneath their eyes but smiles of hope, sat as their chemo infusions fought the internal struggle that would decide whether they would see another summer or be delegated as a portrait to the wall of their family's living room. I would marvel, too, at the dedication of the nurses and doctors who chose to work in a specialty with such extreme highs and lows, the adrenaline rush of success, the heartache of loss and failure. One of those medical warriors, Dr. Pat Hardy, pediatric oncologist, was a dynamo of determination in the fight for remission but a gentle giant when it came to those kids.
As always, my wandering thoughts return to the task at hand — the completion of this precious 2-year-old's case, and I pray that his path will cross that of a super pediatric oncology team and receive the healing touch of a merciful God.

Michael D. Jernigan Gallery Talk
Sculptor Michael D. Jernigan will be giving an Artist Gallery Talk at the Gadsden Arts Center on Thursday, December 13th at 2:00 PM.. Jernigan will be discussing his latest project "Honoring the Troops, A Sculptor's Perspective". He has been sculpting for 23 years and started "Honoring the Troops", a series of portrait sculptures, to honor service men and women. Currently two of Jernigan's portrait sculptures of U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Terri Skene and Captain Fitzgerald are originally from Tallahassee and Quincy, respectively.
In 2008, Jernigan spent 28 days in Iraq and 24 days in Afghanistan as an embedded freelance journalist for the Tallahassee Democrat. During this time he photographed and measured military personnel for the project that will eventually result in twenty-one bronze portrait sculptures. Jernigan, a veteran himself from the Vietnam war says, "Honoring our veterans is a gift and a responsibility that we should take seriously."
The portrait sculptures of Staff Sergeant Skene and Captain Fitzgerald will be on display at the Gadsden Arts Center until January 26, 2013. More information on Jernigan's work can be found at honoringthetroops.com.

Documentary Showcases Jamel Shabazz: Street Photographer, Hip Hop Historian, Activist
"Jamel Shabazz Street Photographer," the new documentary about the photographer whose books Back in the Days and A Time Before Crack chronicled the rise of hip hop culture in New York in the 1980s, is playing this week at BAM Rose Cinemas in Brooklyn. It will also be shown in Portland, Seattle and San Francisco this fall.
The movie follows Shabazz as he photographs on the subway and in the neighborhoods that he has photographed since the 1970s. It includes extensive interviews with him about his photography.
Directed by Charlie Ahearn, who also directed "Wild Style," about early rap, "Jamel Shabazz Street Photographer" includes interviews with Fab Five Freddy, KRS-One and other musicians from the day. They probably help draw in audiences. But once in the theater, they'll learn that Shabazz was interested in more than just the music and the culture. He was also trying to celebrate life in a community that was often ignored by the media, by outsiders, by government.
In a 2010 interview with PDN, Shabazz said, "It's about recording history for future generations to see, and showing the dignity and the integrity in our community, something that's not often shown in the media."
Shabazz worked as a corrections officer in Riker's Island, the New York City detention center. After working a shift, he would come home to Brooklyn and take photos as an antidote. He got in the habit of carrying fruit in his pockets that he would give away, in order to encourage kids to have a healthy snack. "I look for love, compassion, the human spirit of a person." he told PDN.
You can view the trailer on Vimeo.

How sex has changed on the small screen, from no sex on TV in the '60s to hot, frequent sex in the '90s and escapist sex in the present
No Sex The sexual revolution was in full swing, but Ann Marie, the actress played by Marlo Thomas, was a non-combatant. Though she broke ground as an independent woman trying to make it as a professional, that's the only way she did make it: Ann and boyfriend Donald (Ted Bessell) never knocked go-go boots.
Discreet Sex Moore's character, news producer Mary Richards, was a TV pioneer, vertically and horizontally. Over 30 and happily single, publicly on the Pill and a proponent of pay parity, Mare showed us that good girls get plenty—they just don't talk about their sex lives over cosmos, even with BFFs like Rhoda.
Neurotic Sex Some saw the miniskirted lawyer embodied (barely) by Calista Flockhart as a needy ditz. Others considered her a relatable work in progress. Pining for an old boyfriend and searching for true love, Ally worried about her erotic appeal, but she had the gumption to insist on a satisfying sex life.
Hot, Frequent Sex Right to choose + Jimmy Choos = sexually liberated women walking tall. They were a diverse group: romantic Charlotte, swinging Samantha, practical Miranda, but what resonated was the sexual-angst-to-ecstasy ratio of Sarah Jessica Parker's character, Carrie. We loved watching her play the field before she made it Big.©
Sweet Geek Sex Hey, chica, America Ferrera's Betty seemed to say, you don't have to be supermodel skinny or conventionally chic to triumph as a fashionista or a passionista. With her feet on the ground, braces on her teeth and an office diva on her case, Betty managed a rich, satisfying sex life—and snagged the boss's son.
Escapist Sex These Atlanta girlfriends are professionally successful, sexually confident, amazingly -accessorized—and still working out man troubles. But if you're going to imagine yourself entwined in soapy, steamy plots, your TV alter ego might as well be a hip-hop vixen turned professional poker player like LisaRaye McCoy's character, Keisha.
Sad-Sack Sex For Lena Dunham's character, Hannah, life is not about buying Manolos and dating Baryshnikov. We get it: Among 21st-century twenty-somethings, sex can involve a lot of unglamorous, downright icky boinking. But the opposite of sex object needn't be sex abject. A preview of season two suggests a more erotically empowered Hannah.

Revitalize This!
Rochester, N.Y.'s neighborhood revitalization project will create more open spaces and gathering areas.
Public art, lighting, artistic seating, wayfinding kiosks, and unique interactive sidewalks in Rochester are designed to attract and reatain knowledge-based workers and build on city's tourism industry.
In a workshop orchestrated by subconsultant Studio William Cochran, more than 120 residents and business owners collaborated in teams of eight to 10 people using custom-designed game boards that showed images of various types of art. The red and opaque "gem" clusters represent the budget for that particular element.
The local and national artists who contributed to ArtWalk 1 were encouraged to consider Rochester's infrastructure assets as potential canvases
An urban art trail and interactive outdoor museum is one of those seemingly "noncritical" stimulus projects that caused a lot of fretting last year. When word got out that almost half of the $8.8 million project would be funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), detractors complained the money would be better spent on "traditional" improvements like road resurfacing.
But it's not difficult to understand why the New York State DOT chose to commit $3.4 million of its $34 million ARRA allocation into the project. Art Walk 2 is the continuation of a neighborhood revitalization, completed eight years ago, that's credited with driving up the value of homes in the area. Housing prices in the Neighborhood of the Arts have increased an average of 61%, more than double the appreciation rate of surrounding neighborhoods.
Each dollar of federal funds spent on the project is expected to generate at least $4 in the years following the scheduled completion date of winter 2011. The goal is to reinvigorate private investment in the upscale Neighborhood of the Arts in Rochester, which like virtually every other city in the United States is working to continue providing services despite decreased sales, tax, and property revenues.
Begun in 2002, the original ArtWalk was a grassroots neighborhood initiative that integrated art into a typical city street reconstruction project of nearly half a mile. ArtWalk is the name of an independent, nonprofit organization that has helped the public works department select materials and maintain the commissioned art installations, and assisted home and business owners who took responsibility for maintaining the art and landscaping adjacent to their property.
ArtWalk 2 picks up where its predecessor left off.
The nexus of ArtWalk 2 is the city's Neighborhood of the Arts: home to a satellite campus of the University of Rochester, three public schools, and two museums. ArtWalk 2 extends northwest along University Avenue and into North Goodman Street with approximately ½ mile of roadway reconstruction along University Avenue and ¾ mile of new sidewalk along University Avenue, Goodman Street, and East Avenue. The current plan includes four major anchoring elements, all connected via decorative sidewalks and designed to create more open space, gathering areas, and inviting destinations:
1. The city is acquiring an easement on the university's Memorial Art Gallery grounds at University Avenue and Goodman Streets to serve as the central "Welcome Plaza" for the project. It will provide interactive works commissioned from leading local artists as well as works from its own collection to create this new sculpture garden.
Block-long extensions off of this central hub ? with 8-foot-wide specialty paving walkways and landscaping treatments with artistic elements integrated throughout ? will run east and west along University Avenue and north and south along Goodman Street. At the far reaches of these "arms" will be major anchoring art elements.
2. At the southern reach, on the grounds of the Rochester Museum and Science Center, a gathering place will include a privately funded, sculptural element.
3. At the northern arm, a light sculpture rising from a median in the roadway will draw visitors to the restaurants and night life located in the area.
4. On the western arm, an interactive sculpture will offer an audiovisual experiencefeaturing rotating works of film, video, and digital media.
Small- and mid-scale sculptural piecesand functional art such as artist-designed manhole covers and benches will be included to connect the various projects segments.
Last summer, architecture and engineering firm Bergmann Associates was again chosen as the lead design consultant.The 18-month project is slated tobegin construction in June.
The main thoroughfare, University Avenue, will benefit from reconstruction, improved signage and street markings, newstreet lighting, and a new median design intended to slow traffic and beautify the neighborhood. Street and intersection improvement swill occur first, followed by sidewalks, lighting, commissioned artwork installation and, finally, landscaping.
Like the original project, sidewalks ? constructed of brick pavers or colored and stained concrete ? will be 8 feet wide to allow pedestrians to view the strategically placed artwork.
