What the American League manager didn't tell us was that Rivera would be summoned from the bullpen in such memorable fashion during the AL's 3-0 victory over the National League. The New York Yankees closer ran onto an empty field to the familiar strains of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" after being called upon to pitch the eighth inning of the game. That approach allowed Rivera, who plans to retire at the end of the season, to bask in the spotlight himself before teammates took the field.
It also made for the signature moment of the 2013 Midsummer Classic, which had been largely non-descript until the entrance. After reaching the mound, Rivera doffed and waved his cap in an appreciative gesture to the roaring crowd of 45,186. Fellow All-Stars joined the ovation by crowding the railings of both dugouts and even hopped the barrier to get a better look at the greatest closer in the history of the game.

Rivera then gave his fans and teammates what they came to see, retiring Jean Segura, Allen Craig and Carlos Gomez in order to preserve the AL's three-run lead. He threw a total of 16 pitches, 11 of them for strikes and was named the All-Star MVP after the game.
"It's been a privilege," he told the fans that remained in the stands.
After he was finished pitching in the eighth, Rivera was greeted and congratulated by Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez. First baseman Prince Fielder presented him with the ball he had used and then fellow pitcher Justin Verlander approached him for a hug.
Some might wonder why Leyland elected for Rivera in the eighth instead of his trademark ninth, but the explanation seems pretty simple. Erring on the side of caution, Leyland avoided the chance that another pitcher or pitchers would give up four runs in the bottom of the eighth, erasing any opportunity to see Rivera one final time. That might draw him some criticism, sure, but it pales in comparison to what he would've faced had Rivera never had the chance to run out of that bullpen at all.

Many of life's bad decisions come from stress. Think about Emily who is asked to read allowed in school. She's very nervous and may stumble on certain words. Some children begin to laugh. Emily gets more nervous and messes up more. At home she reads fine, there is no stress. What's happening is something that happens to all of us. Emily's brain is acting exactly as it is designed to do from thousands of years of evolution. Her brain is beginning to shut down in preparation to "fight or flight." Fear, stress, nervousness all can make the brain begin to prepare to fight its way out of a situation or run from it.
During times like this, the brain actually prepares those parts of the body it will need to fight or flight, by sending more blood to the vital organs such as the heart and lungs and to our muscles in the legs and arms. What this means is that the brain gets less blood and oxygen and begins to shut down the parts it does not need such as the "thinking" or cognitive areas of your brain. So, just as Emily needs her cognitive brain to help her, it begins to shut down. What happens next? Emily thinks to herself, "I'm no good at this. I guess I'm not made to be a good reader." She makes a bad mental decision based on hindered mental thinking.
Now, imagine yourself in your boss's office. He or she is yelling at you. Your brain begins to imagine all the possibilities…I will lose my job, I won't be able to feed myself or my family, my family will leave me…you begin to feel stressed! And just like Emily, your ability to make good clear mental decisions is gone. Your ability to mentally tackle this situation is no longer available.
This fight or flight part of the brain was originally developed long, long ago, when sabre-tooth tigers roamed the earth and danger loomed around every corner. When a sabre-tooth tiger stepped into your path, you really only had two choices; fight for dinner or run to not become dinner. This "fight or flight" function remains completely intact, today. When you step out into the road and a speeding car is coming at you, your body simply reacts and you jump out of the way. There is no conscious thought process; the mind and body simply react.
Today there are very few times you will run into a sabre-tooth tiger. And the incident where a speeding car is coming at you is few and far between. There are really very few times when you are really physically in danger. However, your mind only knows danger or safe. So, when you perceive a situation as "dangerous" your body reacts as if a sabre-tooth tiger just walked up to you.
But there is good news. When stress is coming at you, you need a clear, focuses mind to deal with it. So, what can you do? Well, once you realize what stress is doing you can take steps to relax. Deep breathing, exercising, taking a few moments, or finding a quiet moment before you react may help you relax. You have to find your relaxation point. Now when your boss is yelling at you, this is probably not the time for a nice warm bath, if that is your way of relaxing. However, there are techniques any hypnotherapist can teach you to help you relax immediately.

Utilizing a cross-disciplinary approach I am working to understand the interactions between engineered polymer substrates and biological systems at several scales (appendages—cells—receptors). A wealth of fundamental and translational information can be garnered by characterizing this interaction at the molecular level. Particularly, I am interested in understanding the effect of bioactive polymers on transducers such as G-Protein Receptor Kinases (GRKs) and downstream effectors like cytoskeletal elements through receptor stimulation. The goal of this work is to understand the physical as well as biological mechanisms behind these interactions and apply this knowledge to the development of novel biomaterials for maritime and biomedical applications.

Cluster Reunions
The SUNY Cortland Alumni Association has moved to cluster reunions for select Reunion celebrations. The following is the cluster reunion schedule for the next three reunions:
Alumni Reunion 2014 - 30th Reunion Cluster - Classes of 1983, 1984 and 1985
Alumni Reunion 2015 - 40th Reunion Cluster - Classes of 1974, 1975 and 1976
Alumni Reunion 2016 - 35th Reunion Cluster - Classes of 1980, 1981 and 1982
What is a Cluster Reunion?
Cluster reunions celebrate three class years during the same weekend! The result is a more fun reunion for all involved. Members of the selected classes have shared that they were friends with people who graduated in the years around them too. Combining three classes encourages alumni who were in the same club, major, sport team, Greek organization or residence hall to get together and enjoy all that the weekend has to offer.
How it works: One class reunites a year earlier than they normally would and one class reunites a year later.

New SW4 team designed to help women who ride, become women who RACE!!
Submitted by 303admin on
"TheCyclist-Lawyer.com" SW4 team was developed for brand new road and track cyclists who have never raced before and who want to learn the fundamentals in a team environment. Team size will be limited to 20 ladies, with a waiting list created for additional women who want to join. The philosophy behind this team is that beginner female cyclists deserve a supportive and educational team where they can learn about racing, training, nutrition and tactics in a fun atmosphere.
Rides, clinics, meetings, races and more will be held primarily in the Denver and Boulder areas. The topics will range from training to nutrition to racing to pre-race strategy, both as an individual racer and also as a member of a team.
The team will be led by Megan Hottman, professional road and track cyclist, and sponsored by her law firm, Hottman Law Office. Treads Bicycle Outfitters will be the team shop and will provide a meeting location and discounts to team members. Founder Hottman says, "The goal for these women is to help them earn sufficient upgrade points in one or two seasons, to move up to SW3, and to join other locally-competitive teams. The underlying purpose in this is to keep the sport growing by bringing in new women at the beginner level, and then helping them move up. This keeps local racing exciting by keeping field sizes large, local teams fed with new riders, and also helps identify new up-and-coming talent for the professional ranks."
How to Join?
Email Megan at firstname.lastname@example.com. She'll ask you a few questions by email to be sure you are a good fit with this group and if so, then she'll send you instructions on how to get started.

CHICAGO (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Each year lung cancer kills half of those diagnosed and more people than breast, prostate and colon cancers combined. Unlike these other cancers, there's been no medical agreement on early detection screening for lung cancer.
However, the findings of a national cancer institute trial have resulted in new screening recommendations, and new hope for the seven million American's who are at high risk for lung cancer.
CT scans have become a yearly ritual for Jody Wilson. After a severe and continuous cough, doctors diagnosed and cured her lung cancer.
"I was absolutely sure if the cancer came back I would know, and I didn't." Wilson told Ivanhoe.
In 2011, Wilson had no symptoms but doctors found a new cancer in her good lung. Researchers are just now discovering the importance of low-dose radiation chest CT scans in the early detection of lung cancer.
The national cancer institute study shows a 20 percent decrease in mortality compared to x-ray screening.
The new CT scan recommendations address individuals at high risk for lung cancer. For example, those who are 55 to 75 years old, those who smoke or have quit within 15 years and those who smoked at least pack a day for a total of 20 to 30 years.
Avnit Kapur, MD, Diagnostic Radiologist at Weiss Memorial Hospital Chicago is optimistic about the tests.
"If the cancer is found early it can be treated, it can be cured." Dr. Kapur told Ivanhoe.
Wilson says she understands people's hesitation but she's living proof of the benefit of getting tested.
Currently, many insurance companies are not covering the low-dose chest CT scans for lung cancer screening, however some hospitals do offer affordable CT scans for about $200. MORE.

Tatiana Maslany is having another stellar year. Her hit TV Show "Orphan Black" has just wrapped its second season on BBC America and she just won her second straight Critics' Choice Award for Best Lead Actress in a Drama. Although her show only has 10 episodes per year, Maslany is arguably one of the hardest working actresses on television. She plays not one but up to 10 characters due to the number of clones introduced on the series and is in almost every scene of the show.
There was lots of controversy surrounding her lack of nomination at the Golden Globes this year. A critic and fan favorite, many are banking on her receiving an Emmy nomination when they are announced on July 10th. Although she had several roles on the big and small screen over the years, it is her role on "Orphan Black" that has catapulted her to a household name.
Tatiana Gabrielle Maslany was born on September 22, 1985 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. She did dance and theater at a young age and participated in school productions and improv before she graduated high school in 2003. After high school, she settled in Toronto. Her first major role came in a short film called "The Recital" where she played Diana Mills. Maslany also appeared in a number of made for television movies between 2005-2007 including "Dawn Anna" where she played a young Lauren Townsend who was killed during the Columbine massacre.
On the small screen Maslany scored roles in a few Canadian series including "Being Erica" and "Heartland". Before landing the role in "Orphan Black" she appeared in "The Vow" and the ratings success "The Nativity" as the Virgin Mary. She won a Sundance Film Festival Award in 2010 for her role in "Grown Up Movie Star".
In 2013, Maslany landed the role on "Orphan Black" and the sci-fi show became an immediate critical success. Maslany's distinct portrayal of all of the clones on the BBC America series has made her an awards show and fan favorite and earned her the respect of the acting industry. In order to portray each clone, Maslany mastered several accents and goes through physical transformations to give each their own distinct identity.
She was nominated for a Critics Choice Award and Golden Globe during the show's first season winning the Critics Choice Award. In addition she won the Young Hollywood and TCA Award the same year.
Going into the second season of "Orphan Black", Maslany admitted during a press event that playing so many characters can be exhausting but it never feels like work. Her hard work has paid off as the ratings for the show have climbed during the season and although it has yet to be announced, a third season is all but a foregone conclusion.
Maslany is currently filming "The Woman in Gold" with Helen Mirren and Katie Holmes in London which is set for a 2015 release.

Baring any major holiday crime spree the Cheney Police Department should end 2013 with at least a 20 percent overall reduction in reportable criminal activity over 2012 numbers.
While the rate of decline has slowed in some of the 11 reportable offense categories, and the overall level has risen since a low of 28.8 percent decrease at the end of June, overall crime in the city is still 20.75 percent lower than last year, according to statistics in the department's November Monthly Activity Report. Department officials have cited numerous measures taken over the past year and a half as reas...

There's nothing happening in the NFL. Nothing. No talks. No legal battles that are hot right now. Players are scattered around; some working out with teammates at local high schools or colleges, some working out at local Bally fitness clubs, some just hanging out in the hometowns.
We got word the other day of a Chad Henne sighting as Schmoe Montana tries (again) to get teammates to work out with him. When he was approached by a local reporter he was saying that he's really liking Brian Daboll's new offense, and went on to explain some of the differences and how he's really studying it and will have a head start on his competition.
Only. That's a weird statement. Remember there was an "incident" just after the season ended, but before the lockout when players couldn't have contact with coaches? Henne said he met with Daboll; the NFL was going to investigate, but never really did. Then there was a 4-day window when the lockout was lifted and the Dolphins basically turned away all the players, and said they didn't give out playbooks....
And Daboll got here a few days before that supposed meeting with Henne. While he may have had a series of plays he wanted to run, certainly he wouldn't have had time to construct a playbook that was vetted with Sparano (ie, "installed the offense").
So what the heck is Henne talking about? Was he hit in the head one too many times? Or is (once again) everyone in the Dolphins lying to us? Are they really going to run the same offense (and therefore the firing of Henning and hiring of Daboll was nothing more than changing the curtains on a leaky window)? I mean its just a strange statement given the work stoppage and lack of contact and all.
And not that any of it matters. It just struck me as odd, that's all.

UMass Falls To Tennessee, 83-69, in Puerto Rico Tip-Off Third-Place Game
Nov. 18, 2012
BAYAMON, P.R. - Tennessee scored 14 unanswered points to pull away from Massachusetts for a 83-69 win in the third-place game of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez Sunday.
UMass had just erased a five-point deficit and tied the game at 54 with 8:28 to play when the Vols went on their run. The Minutemen trimmed the margin to seven with just over three minutes left but weren't able to get any closer.
UMass (2-2) shot just 35 percent and was outrebounded 51-37.
Jesse Morgan led the Minutemen with 18 points and a game-high four 3-pointers. Chaz Williams inched closer to 1,000 career points with 16, to go along with eight assists. He needs just nine points to become the 42nd player in school history to accomplish the feat. Both players had three steals apiece.
Jarnell Stokes finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds for Tennessee (3-1). The Vols shot 45 percent and controlled the paint at both ends of the floor. They outscored UMass 40-28 in the paint and converted 17 offensive boards into 20 second-chance opportunities.
UMass scored the game's first four points before the lead changed hands five times and was tied twice in the opening period. UT led 38-34 at the intermission.
Trey Davis saw considerable time at the point guard spot when Williams picked up his fourth foul with just under 15 minutes left. The freshman played turnover-free ball in 10 minutes while collecting a key steal during the Minutemen's late run.
UMass will play its next game in nine days when it faces Siena for the second-consecutive season. Tipoff at the Times Union Center in Albany, N.Y. is set for 7:00 p.m.

The debut album of Australian sextet Alpine, entitled A Is For Alpine, was finally released in the United States today, May 21st. A review published on Out Impact praises the album while saying "the harmonious play of voices and instruments catches the ear like nothing else." Alpine made their SXSW debut in 2012, but came back this year "with a larger audience, a tighter stage show, and a debut album," according to Billboard's review of A Is For Alpine. Although Alpine were just stateside for SXSW, the band will be back in June for some North American tour dates in support of Crystal Fighters.
To hear tracks from A Is For Alpine, stay tuned to SXSWfm.

For the longest time I'd wished I could strike out on my own and make a go of doing illustration, comics, or writing full time... you know, ditch the day job, answer to no one. Well, those prayers were answered Jan 2nd when the company I worked for laid me off. :-P
Our creative team had been struggling with finding work, and after a full year of the 10 of us scraping by, they decided to let 2 of us go. 12 years is a long run at a company these days. It's a good place to work, filled with brilliant, amazing people. I'll miss it... BUT... that just means I get to live my dream right?
So, here I am, all week long trying to figure out what I'm going to do exactly, try the freelance thing, look for another job? Probably both... wife and kids need the health insurance and I'm not sure I can freelance enough to provide. Anyway, I'm writing this more for my own mental health than anything, to those that do read this, thanks for listening, but I'm not looking for pitty or anything, encouraging works are always welcome though.
AND if anyone's interested in a commission, I'm wide open! You can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Crazy! Best of luck lookin for work, you deserve a great job. Now go draw a comic book before your unemployment runs out.
I've felt the same way sometimes. A lot of times, actually. I wonder if I would have pushed myself harder if I had not had steady work for so long. There are no easy answers for either side of this dilemma!
Whatever you do, I hope it works out.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the final round of the WhatIfSports Most Dominant Playoff Tournament, featuring the 1993 Chicago Bulls, the 5th seed in Pool B, and the 2005 San Antonio Spurs, the #9 seed in Pool A. The Bulls got here by beating the dominant 1996 incarnation of themselves in a grueling 7-game series that pitted Jordan vs. Jordan, with the 29-year-old MJ coming out on top. On the other side of the bracket, the Spurs cruised past the 2009 Lakers, holding Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, & Lamar Odom to a combined 39 points in the 5th and deciding game of their semifinal series. So now, without further ado, it's time for these two great clubs to battle for the title of 2010 Most Dominant Playoff Tournament Champion...

If you are not blessed with 20/20 vision, then you most likely have endured the eye-glass exam quiz, "Which is better, 1 or 2?" You have probably also been subjected to those awful posters of magnified eyeballs in all their veiny glory when your eye doctor tries to explain common eye diseases. And lastly, you never forget painfully squinting through dark sunglasses after having your pupils dilated for an exam.
The dreaded eye exam experience can give the dentist chair a run for its money, but new technology is changing that. LensCrafters recently introduced AccuExam, a state of the art digital eye exam that often eliminates the need for dilation and the "Which is better..." test.
I recently had the chance to try out the new exam technology and got a great pair of glasses, but not until after a fiasco that convinced me that LensCrafters will be my one and only stop for my next pair.
Having recently snapped my favorite pair of glasses in half, I needed to purchase a new pair, and the selection of frames at Costco where I got the original frames was dismal, so I went to a boutique and picked out a lovely frame with the whopping price-tag of $550. Even after applying my insurance, the final cost of the complete eye glasses was over $1,000. Unfortunately, the old adage, "You get what you pay for," was not my experience.
After four go-backs to try to get the prescription right, still my vision was blurry at the computer or reading.
Granted, my prescription is tricky. If it were not for the latest HD quality thin lenses I would be wearing the proverbial Coke bottles. And it rings true, that you wake up the day you turn 42 and cannot see close up; but I refuse to wear readers, and so I require a blended bifocal, or graduated glasses, where the line is invisible. To add another degree of challenge, I have astigmatism.
The stylish little shop with the high-priced frames promised their technology was state of the art, but after the fifth fail I took my bad eye sight over to LensCrafters for a look.
Rocco the technician at LensCrafters took his time with me to run through a series of pre-exam tests including some of the standard charts of letters and screeners for color-blindness, and then there were a few I had never seen in my 20-plus years of eye exams, such as ones to measure the shape of the eye and an Optomat automatic lens meter that gives a 200 degree view of the inside of the eye without the need for dilation. Lastly, I braced for the puff-in-the-eye glaucoma test. All of it was painless.
The idea of the pre-exam makes sense: a technician runs through these time-consuming data collecting components of the exam and then hands off the results to the doctor so he or she can spend more quality time with the patient. When my optometrist, Dr. Meredith Barber, was ready to see me, she already had a picture of my eye health as a baseline for her exam.
For children, these passive pre-exam measurements are ideal, since they have less patience than adults to sit for a long exam, and many of the tests eliminate or lessen the need for subjective feedback from children, who are not the most reliable when it comes to the, "Which is better, 1 or 2" quiz."
The pre-exam meant less time sitting behind the old-tech clunky machine with the lenses, a phoropter, where the doctor fine tunes the prescription. The doctor then showed me the images of my eye and explained how my astigmatism was affecting my sight. She also showed me images that illustrated how I see uncorrected and then with glasses. For children, this is a very useful tool in explaining to parents how their children are seeing. In the end, I had my prescription and a full view of my eye health in about 30 minutes.
Finally, it came to choosing the frames. I admit that I did not think of LensCrafters as fashion headquarters when it came to frames, which is why I first went to the pricey boutique, but I was amazed at the walls of high-style designer frames including brands like Burberry, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Bvlgari.
Plenty of associates were on hand to help me find suitable frames and give me honest feedback. They even used an iPad to take four photos of me wearing different frames so I could compare side-to-side. They then put the image of me wearing my chosen pair, a two-tone turquoise and black Tiffany model, on a computer screen to precisely measure the center and take other measurements to make sure the lenses would be made to suit the frames. This was a vast improvement from the snooty boutique where the sales person used a black Sharpie to mark the approximate center based on his visual assessment. No wonder I had to go back five times!
Overall the experience was outstanding. Even though my special-order glasses were supposed to take three weeks to make, I got a call in less than a week saying they were ready.
My seven-year-old son also got an exam, and happily his eye health is excellent, except for dry eyes from the sun and surf, remedied with some drops. This was a relief, as I learned that 80 percent of children's learning is through their sight, and 25 percent of school-age children may have vision problems that can affect learning, according to the College of Optometrists in Vision Development.
For mom and son, seeing is believing. I got a beautiful pair of Tiffany frames, made right the first time -- and garnering the first compliments I have gotten on my glasses in years, and I have peace of mind that my son is seeing all he should see, just in time for the start of school. So on his first report card, hopefully we will see lots of "A's."

The total value of US oil and gas mergers and acquisitions (M&A) increased significantly in 2011 due to continued investment in shale plays and related infrastructure, sustained interest from foreign buyers, and private equity entrants deploying capital in the energy industry. Average deal size also increased in 2011.
The total value of US oil and gas mergers and acquisitions
(M&A) increased significantly in 2011 due to continued
investment in shale plays and related infrastructure, sustained
interest from foreign buyers, and private equity entrants
deploying capital in the energy industry, according to a new
report from professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers
A major trend in the energy sector driving the increase in
deal value throughout the year was a shift towards more
investments in oil and liquid plays as natural gas prices
remained depressed, hitting a 10-year low in 2011.
In 2011, there were 191 deals with values greater than $50
million, accounting for $186.5 billion, a significant jump in
total deal value from the $138.5 billion during 2010, which had
five more announced deals.
Average deal size also increased in 2011 to $977 million, a 38%
increase from $706 million in 2010, driven by 32 mega-deals
(deals with values of $1 billion or more).
"M&A activity in the US oil and gas sector was extremely
active in 2011 as shale plays continued to attract the large
multinational energy companies, foreign buyers, and private
equity firms," said Rick Roberge, principal in PwC's energy
M&A practice.
"New drilling techniques in hydraulic fracturing are
uncovering vast amounts of crude oil and natural gas in a very
accessible environment to oil and gas reserves
and this is what is contributing to the huge interest in shale
plays, Roberge continued.
The low price of natural gas, partially due to the
increase in supply, has also driven a shift toward more oil and
liquid plays as companies and investors look to take advantage
of oil prices, which is holding steady at $100/bbl.
We expect deal flow to remain active in 2012, despite
continuing economic uncertainty, due to attractive commodity
prices - which promotes exploration and development as well as
upstream M&A activity."
The final three months of 2011 had a total of 48 deals (with
values over $50 million) worth $80.5 billion, PwC said,
representing a 25% decline in volume but an 89% increase in
total deal value from the 64 deals valued at $42.6 billion
during the fourth quarter of 2010.
There were 11 corporate transactions with values greater
than $50 million, generating 72%, or $58 billion, of total
fourth quarter deal value - a 350% increase in total deal value
over the same period last year.
Thirty-seven asset deals with values greater than $50
million contributed $22.5 billion, compared to 51 asset deals
with a combined value of $29.7 billion seen during the fourth
quarter of 2010.
Although upstream deals made up the majority of activity in
the fourth quarter of 2011 with 23 transactions, or 48% of
total deal volume, accounting for $24 billion in transactions,
midstream deals represented 60% of total deal value with $48
billion and 12 transactions.
Oilfield equipment followed in deal activity and volume with
8 transactions totaling $4.5 billion, while downstream deals
contributed $4.1 billion with five deals.
There were 17 shale-related deals in the fourth quarter of
2011 with a total deal value of $57 billion, compared to 32
shale-related deals representing $29.3 billion during the final
three months of 2010.
Average deal value in the fourth quarter increased 209% to
$3.4 billion for shale deals.
In all of 2011, there were 68 total shale-related deals,
with values greater than $50 million - a decline from the 85
shale-related deals in all of 2010.
But the total value of shale deals in 2011 jumped 55% to
$107 billion from $68.9 billion in 2010.
In the upstream sector, shale deals represented 51% of total
upstream deal value in the fourth quarter of 2011, accounting
for 11 deals with a total value of $12.3 billion.
For full-year 2011, there were 55 shale deals in the
upstream sector that totaled $59.6 billion, or 81% of total
upstream deal value.
Included in all the shale-related deals in the fourth
quarter of 2011 were four transactions involving the Marcellus
Shale totaling $3.5 billion and three Utica Shale deals with a
total value of $3.6 billion.
For full-year 2011, there were a total of 13 deals in the
Marcellus Shale worth $9.9 billion, compared to 22 deals that
totaled $20.3 billion during 2010.
The Utica Shale had seven transactions that represented $6.7
billion in 2011, a jump from one deal in all of 2010, with a
value of $178 million.
"The industry continued to make a paradigm shift to shale in
2011 with virtually every major oil and gas company taking a
position in unconventional plays," said Steve Haffner, a
Pittsburgh-based partner with PwC's energy practice.
"Activity in the Marcellus Shale remained strong for patient
buyers waiting out the supply-demand dynamics of natural
gas, Haffner continued. Towards the end of last
year, we saw many investors looking at the Utica shale as the
next area of interest to take advantage of the more
liquids-rich resource, and its proximity to major metropolitan
Companies are now focused on building the related
infrastructure to transport the extracted oil and gas, which we
believe will likely be a key driver of M&A activity in
Foreign buyers announced 10 deals during the fourth quarter
of 2011 that had a value greater than $50 million, two fewer
deals when compared to the last three months of 2010.
Total deal value, however, increased in the fourth quarter
of 2011 to $13.9 billion from $9.4 billion during the same time
period in 2010.
For full year 2011, there were 40 transactions by foreign
buyers, five less than full year 2010, but total deal value in
2011 jumped 55% to $56.4 billion.
Additionally, the total value of the five financial
sponsor-backed transactions over $50 million increased
dramatically in the fourth quarter of 2011, representing $8.8
billion, compared to a total deal value of $353 million during
fourth quarter 2010, which had three deals.
For all of 2011, there were 10 deals that involved financial
sponsors, one less than in 2010 - although total deal value
skyrocketed to $13.2 billion in 2011 from $3.1 billion in
"International players invested heavily in US shale plays
through joint ventures in 2011 - and we believe a trend to
watch out for in 2012 is for foreign buyers to look to acquire
entire companies that operate in shale plays so they can take
more control of the assets through operatorship," said
"We also saw major private equity firms making big bets in
the energy industry in 2011 and we expect their activity may
accelerate as favorable oil price outlooks provide an
attractive investment rationale, Roberge added.
As deals continue in 2012, corporates and PE firms should
consider focusing on maximizing the assets they acquire and
ensuring they have the right deal strategies, integration plans, and controls in
place to successfully navigate this evolving and complex

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

How did it take so long for some enterprising/bored/enterprisingly bored guy to mashup Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" video with its precursor, 'N Sync's "Girlfriend"? The videos, that is. Not just the songs. Like so.
See, anyone can do a "Girlfriend"/"Boyfriend" mashup, as evidence demonstrates nicely. (One of them is "slightly dark." One talks about how "fondue pots are so legit.") But a video mashup? It'd be more than that. It'd be more than a cute concept. It'd be commentary, even if it's just commentary on how, when you've got to suddenly scrap your old plans, you end up with something derivative. And unlike the other way to accomplish this–stringing together a bunch of still frames–there's something to listen to as well.
…Though it's a little hilarious how this mashup makes Justin Bieber the guest rapper on a boy-band song. The music industry makes possible some really strange shit.

Nashville Symphony Chorus has been celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and as the finale of a very special season, the Chorus performed with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra this weekend in an evening of mind blowingly lovely music as they brilliantly played Brahms' Requiem.
This one had me at the first note as the evening began with Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms. I'm such a sucker for soft, flowing, soul-filling music and this one, performed during the first half of the night, was just that, music that worked its way into your ears, down to your heart and spread like the warmth of a hearty sip of good bourbon, right into the core of your being. What's interesting about Chichester Psalms is that it is just that, Psalms, and I'm not usually much inclined towards religious music, and didn't even watch the screen as it translated the words for us, but just sat back and let the music do its magic. And that's what it did. It made the world melt away, my mind go into a "happy place" and my breathing slow down to an almost meditative state. Psalm 108:2, Psalm 100 felt to me like a bubbly little Christmas song, giving me that feeling that you get during the holidays, happy, festive and more relaxed than normal (unless you are shopping, then all the stress magically appears.)
The absolute best part of the night for me was when handsome, young Nolan Harvel, boy soprano and winner of the grades 5-8 2014 Thor Johnson Scholarship Wild Card First Place honor performed with the Symphony and Chorus on the Psalms. I'm sure for this young man, the honor of performing with our Symphony on such a gorgeous, soulful piece was at least just as good as the $300 scholarship he received. And he does have a voice of an angel, with his high notes floating to the top of the ceiling of the symphony hall, floating down to linger among us and sounding soft, innocent and so profound for a human being so young and tender. Kudos to that young guy, really.
Now here's what I really love; following that oh-so-classic Brahms' Requiem performance is a night of The Music of Pink Floyd performed by the Nashville Symphony. I love that our symphony is so diverse always having something YOU will love, no matter who you may be. Unfortunately, the Pink Floyd event is sold out for a one night only occasion tomorrow night (June 3, 7:30 pm 2014.) And even more unfortunate is the fact that I can't attend because I'll be at War Horse opening night at TPAC. (Which I'm also super excited about. P.S. I get a preview look tomorrow morning, stay tuned for my article!)
BUT, you can pretty much depend on me being at the Kansas Special Event Friday evening (June 6). I mean, really, Kansas' symphonic rock at the most graceful of Nashville venues? It can't get much better than a leisurely walk across the pedestrian bridge that gives the most incredible views of the city, delicious wine, groovy gourmet treats, a breathtaking setting and celebrating the 40th year as a band (as of 2013) with Kansas, can it? Here's the good news, this one isn't sold out YET, so pick up your tickets at nashvillesymphony.org now.
And a special heads-up for you: The Nashville Sympony is celebrating summer with a big screen viewing of The Wizard of Oz (June 13) while you and the younguns sit back in your cozy seats and the Symphony plays the full score of the movie live! I cannot wait. These movie events are one of my very favorite summer treats. Last year, we got to see The Hunchback of Notre Dame and it was so much fun. Look out for more movie events this summer at the Schermerhorn. Check out the calendar of events at nashvillesymphony.org – and remember, it ain't just classical music at the Schermerhorn – so sign up for their newsletter – or you just might miss your favorite band, movie or act of all times.

Al Blake recently celebrated his 91st birthday with his two sons, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. The San Clemente man considers his long life "a bonus on borrowed time."
Birthdays are an occasion to receive gifts. But for Blake, at this time of his life, he has a lot to give.
Not just material possessions but, instead, his story – the essence of what he's learned in his 91 years.
His sons prompted his introspection. "They wanted to know some things ... After all these years, what has your life meant? ... What's important?"
This idea — that the most important things we can share with our loved ones might be intangible — is a powerful one. We can bequeath property, of course, but we can also pass on hopes and dreams and values. Such assets will only accrue in value over time.
Maybe your legal affairs are in order, but what about your thoughts? Have you also written an ethical will? Just a simple letter, recording your insights, could be your most meaningful legacy.
The desire to pass on our wishes and beliefs is as old as the Bible.
A dying Jacob expressed his hopes for his children in the book of Genesis. As literacy spread in medieval times, it became popular for Jewish people to leave ethical wills to their offspring.
Sholem Aleichem, whose stories were the basis for Fiddler on the Roof, left an ethical will in 1916. He succinctly nailed it in part:
"Live together in peace, bear no hatred for each other, help one another in bad times, think on occasion of other members of the family, pity the poor, and when circumstances permit, pay my debts, if there be any."
Senior Rabbi Mark Miller at Temple Bat Yahm in Newport Beach has written his own ethical will. The spiritual legacy, he says, is most important. Our true worth lies in our character and values — think values over valuables.
"You are more than what you've gained. It's really what you've given that is the key."
This is a way, he adds, to show your children and their children who you really were. It's your shot at immortality, a chance to create a connection with those who will follow. You can explain your essence: the values by which you lived.
Miller says children and grandchildren should read an ethical will over and over as a way to know their family and keep them alive.
"This is the most intimate opportunity to appreciate your loved one: what they thought was important, what they thought was valuable."
Of course, we've come a long way since the Bible.
We can convey our thoughts on paper or in video. After Prof. Randy Pausch delivered his last lecture before his death, it became an Internet sensation. Elizabeth Edwards left books and letters for her children.
Still, it requires more than a tweet.
Attorney Jo Kline Cebuhar learned about ethical wills while volunteering at a hospice in Iowa. It seems the process of self-reflection, while not necessarily easy, brings a sense of comfort and accomplishment to the end of life.
Cebuhar is author of "So Grows the Tree: Creating an Ethical Will" (Murphy Publishing), a new, user-friendly workbook for getting started.
She says an ethical will can be simple: Commentary for a photo album or family cookbook. It can be yearly letters you write to your children.
"It's taking your memories and stories to a different level ... Often, the less we say, the more they will read it."
Al Blake has left a two-CD set for his sons and their offspring.
Blake is first to say his life story is nothing remarkable – unless it's your story and your family.
He was born in 1919 and started work at 16 during the Great Depression. Eventually, Blake landed at North American Aviation (later Rockwell International) where he stayed for 38 years.
Blake doesn't claim wisdom; his life lessons are less fancy, more fundamental.
He never earned a college degree, a regret that dogged him all his life.
"Education is one of the most important things ... It's something nobody can take away from you."
He is proudest of his boys.
"My greatest achievement was raising my family. I did a fairly good job."
Through divorce and remarriage, though, there are lessons learned: Calling off his engagement two weeks before the wedding. The pain when his brother Walter was killed in a boating accident.
"It was so sudden, so unexpected and seemed so unnecessary."
Blake's sons asked him to create a video biography and hired Jane Shafron, co-owner of Your Story Here to produce it.
Her videos include an ethical will called "Reflections." Shafron prompted Blake in advance with questions about his challenges, regrets, values and hopes.
"It's an important part of capturing somebody's story. It means so much."
Blake agrees.
His sons, he says, learned by observing his example. But his grandchildren and their children, well, they feel less of an imprint from his life. Over years, outlines grow faint. You have a pile of old pictures with no names written on the back.
"The grandchildren didn't live with me for years and years," observes Blake, who clearly remembers his own grandfather. "They have little knowledge of what I've been through and what I think about things – my philosophy of life."
Once somebody began asking questions, Blake knew what he wanted to say.
"I want to be remembered as a loving parent and grandparent – generous and honest and dedicated to family."
He says stating your piece is important. If you don't communicate, he notes, how are you going to influence the family who follows after you?
"If you don't take the time, it won't be said."

Meantime, UA pitcher Becky Lemke scattered four hits and kept Cal off balance throughout the game. Lemke (29-7) struck out seven including the side in the seventh, while Forest (23-7) struck out nine. The game was 16 batters old before the first hit -- a liner to right by Cal shortstop Katie May.
Lauren Bauer's baserunning staked Arizona to a 1-0 lead in the third. She doubled over the head of Cal centerfielder Amber Phillips with two outs, then kept going and slid under the tag at home on the next play when Toni Mascarenas beat out a single to deep short.
Collins' eighth home run of the year, a solo blast to left, extended UA's lead to 2-0.
Collins' ninth of the season, almost to the same spot in left, came in the bottom of the sixth.
Cal's best chance for a run came in the fourth, but it left runners at second and third. Maiko Bristow led off with a single, Lisa Iancin was hit by a pitch and both runners moved up on Megumi Takasaki's sacrifice bunt. Lemke got two ground outs to end the threat.
Arizona, too, stranded runners at second and third. In the first inning Nicole Giordano and Bauer walked and were sacrificied to third by Mascarenas, but Forest struck out Jennie Finch and Felecity Williams.
The game was played before a crowd of 2,401 at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium. Arizona moves into a winner's bracket game Friday at 8:30 p.m. against Washington, an earlier winner over Arizona State. The Bears will play ASU on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.

College Hockey:Stockton, Holy Cross down Army, 3-2, in game one
WORCESTER, Mass. — Holy Cross survived a scrappy effort by Army to notch a 3-2 win in the first game of their Atlantic Hockey first round series on Friday night.
Shayne Stockton's influential performance (the game-winning goal and two assists) ultimately separated the two teams as the Black Knights defied their season-ending skid and leaned on the efforts of Ryan Leets (36 saves) to push the Crusaders for 60 minutes at the Hart Center.
With the victory, Holy Cross can now finish off the series and seal a meeting with Mercyhurst in Erie, Pa., next weekend by notching a second straight home win on Saturday night.
"Shayne played really well," Holy Cross coach Paul Pearl said. "When his feet are moving and he's got his game together, he's as good as there is."
Brandon Nunn staked the Crusaders to an early advantage just six minutes into the contest as Stockton foreshadowed his contribution to the proceedings. The sophomore center from Kanata, Ont., combined with Matthew Davis to set the table for Nunn, who slotted home his 15th goal of the season.
It took a bit of time for Army to settle into the game at the outset, but Andy Starczewski scored against the run of play to tie the game at 10:36 of the opening period. Mac Lawlor and Mike Hull notched assists as Starczewski stunned the Crusaders faithful with his 13th goal of the season.
The equalizer seemed to perk up the Black Knights. They skated just a touch harder in the aftermath of goal, apparently convinced they could pull the upset and send the fifth-seeded Crusaders to a shocking defeat on home ice.
Holy Cross quelled some of the uncertainty in the arena by restoring the lead at 17:05. Erik Vos nabbed his 12th goal of the season after quick work by Stockton on a faceoff to the left of Ryan Leets. Mike Daly provided the telling pass across the front of the net and left Vos with a simple finish at the back post to restore some normalcy.
"We actually have been working on that faceoff play in practice, so it's good to see it pan out for us," Daly said.
Stockton appeared to create some distance between the two teams when he grabbed his sixth goal of the season on a power play at 9:55 in the second. Army took an unnecessary penalty by having too many men on the ice during a poor line change, and the Crusaders made them pay with some quick combination work inside the blue line. Stockton's deft finish completed a tidy sequence of passes with Kyle Atkins and Jay Silvia to create the two-goal cushion and punish the Black Knights for their mental mistake.
"We were moving the puck around great, got the goalie sliding a little bit and Jay fed me a nice crossing pass," Stockton said. "I just got a lot of it on a one-timer, got lucky and got it in a good spot."
Tensions flared shortly after Holy Cross' third goal following a minor fracas in front of Crusaders goalie Matt Ginn. Bill Day ultimately took a charging penalty shortly after the initial scrum as the game threatened to spiral out of control. Army coach Brian Riley called a timeout to settle his charges down and shift the focus back to the task at hand.
"I called the timeout to get our emotions back in check," Riley said. "I thought going forward we did a much better job of not letting emotion get the best of us."
The tactic worked, as Army managed to cut the deficit in half heading into the third period. Bryant Skarda created a chance out of nothing on the right wing boards and flipped a shot toward Ginn. The effort squirted between Ginn's legs to give Skarda his third goal of the season at 18:31 of the second and guarantee the Black Knights would enter the third period with a chance to tie the score.
The equalizer never arrived in a third period chopped up by penalties. Leets made a couple of critical saves to keep the Black Knights in the game, but the visitors couldn't muster up the goal required to send the game to overtime.
"Leets gave us a chance to win the game," Riley said. "We were hoping to make it a 20-minute game, which I think we did, but you gotta give them a lot of credit."

"Resurrection" was a late season start and had a short first season on top of it but that didn't keep it from becoming a huge favorite. The show has been renewed for a second season but with the premiere still months away, fans and those who missed it the first time around can now watch and relive those exciting moments as many of Arcadia Missouri's dead return. K-Site TV shared a review of the DVD set on June 17.
There may only be 8 episodes but they sure do pack in a lot of drama centered on family relationships, narrow minds versus open ones and small town versus big government dynamics. Even if you watched all the episodes, it's likely you missed important details.
With only 8 episodes, it won't take late-to-the-show viewers long to catch up on the goings on in Arcadia. That's a good thing because a lot happened, all wrapped up with some superb acting from stars like Omar Epps (House, M.D.), Kurtwood Smith (That 70s Show) and Frances Fisher (Unforgiven, Titanic) to name a few.
As one might expect, not all the family reunions are happy ones. The living have already dealt with the loss of the loved one and then – Bam! The deceased are back with no explanation or memory of what has transpired in the intervening years. While some reunions are touching and sweet, others carry negative, even violent overtones.
After getting through the episodes, viewers will want to check out the extras on the "Resurrection: The Complete First Season" DVD. Most first season shows don't have much to offer in the way of extras and with a scant 8 episodes to glean material from, "Resurrection" is no different. There is a blooper reel and some deleted scenes. Also included are a couple of featurettes that don't add any real insight but are still fun to watch.
The show faced falling ratings toward the end of the season but it faced stiff competition on Sunday nights from some pretty big shows on other networks. It still managed a sizable draw for its cliffhanger finale and the 2 disc set is a good way for existing fans to refresh their memories and for new fans to catch up before the season2 fall premiere of "Resurrection" on ABC.

Game one belonged to Johnny Cueto while game two was capped by Billy Hamilton's walk-off single as the Reds went on to sweep both games of a double header with the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday at Great American Ballpark.
The Reds (48-42) knocked Travis Wood (7-7) around for three runs in the first to spot Johnny Cueto (9-6) a comfortable in his first start since being named an All-Star on Sunday. Brandon Phillips singled home Hamilton and then scored on a two run homer by Jay Bruce.
That lead held until the sixth when Cueto allowed back-to-back homers to Chris Coghlan and Ryan Sweeney to make it a 3-2 game. Coghlan has been a pain for Reds pitching, going 7-12 in the series with two homers, three RBI and four runs scored.
Cincinnati responded right back in the sixth when Ramon Santiago singled home Chris Heisey. The Cubs (38-51) tried to break free in the seventh against Cueto as they loaded the bases, but Manny Parra came on to shut down the rally with a strikeout of Coghlan and then getting Sweeney to ground out.
Jumbo Diaz retired all three Cubs he faced in the ninth while Neil Ramirez caught a break for the Cubs when he allowed a double to Santiago, but Heisey was thrown out at home trying to score from first. That run was almost needed to keep the lead as Aroldis Chapman allowed a hit and a walk to bring the go ahead run to the plate, but he struck out Sweeney for his 18th save of the season.
Game two saw the MLB debut of David Holmberg, which was a game he would like to forget. Coghlan and Mike Olt each hit two run homers while Anthony Rizzo hit a solo homer to make it a quick 5-0 hole for the Reds to climb out of. Carlos Contreras took over for Holmberg in the third inning and began a run of 6.2 innings of scoreless relief for the Reds.
Tsuyoshi Wada pitched well enough in his spot start to get the win, but every Cubs pitcher would be touched up for one run. Wada's was an unearned run in the fifth as Junior Lake corralled a fly ball by Hamilton with the bases loaded, but Lake's throw in ricocheted off the pitchers mound and allowed Skip Schumaker to score. Wada escaped the jam by picking off Tucker Barnhart at first.
Barnhart was called up to take the spot of Brayan Pena, who had been on the paternity list, but Pena returned on Tuesday to the roster. Instead of Barnhart returning to Louisville, he will stay up as the Reds placed Joey Votto on the disabled list for the second time this year. Pena, along with Todd Fraizer and Jay Bruce (who made his MLB debut at first on Monday), have all helped fill in the gap left by Votto. If Pena sees more playing time then look for Barnhart to stay up with the big club to serve as Devin Mesoraco's back up.
J.J. Hoover came on in relief of Contreras and recorded all six outs in his two innings of relief with strikeouts. Brian Schlitter came on for the Cubs in the sixth and allowed Frazier to double and score on a ground ball by Bruce. The Cubs then fell apart in the seventh as Wesley Wright walked the only hitter he faced and then Carlos Villanueva walked the next two.
This brought up Mesoraco for a huge pinch hit opportunity, but Villanueva got him to bounce into a double play that scored Schumaker. Hamilton followed with an RBI triple to make it 5-4, but Frazier grounded out to end the inning.
Logan Ondrusek (3-2) came on in relief of Hoover and worked two scoreless innings to set up the Reds rally. Pedro Strop was the next Cubs victim in the eighth as he allowed a leadoff single to Brandon Phillips and then gave up a double to Bruce to tie the game.
In the ninth, it was Hector Rondon's (1-3) turn to give up a run and this time it would be in dramatic fashion. Pena came on to pinch hit and started the inning with a single. Mike Leake, the winner of Monday's game, came on to pinch run and was able to advance to third on a single by Mesoraco. That set up Hamilton to be the hero as he sent a looping line drive that just landed inside the chalk of the left field line to score Leake and extend the Reds win streak to four games.
With the Reds already claiming the series victory, they'll look to add on Wednesday as Alfredo Simon (11-3, 2.78 ERA) takes on Dallas Beeler (0-1) who is making just his second start of the year. Beeler allowed just one unearned run over six innings, but the lackluster Cubs offense failed to score in a 3-0 loss to the Nationals. Cincinnati also looks to draw closer to the Milwaukee Brewers (52-39) who have lost three straight. The Pirates (47-43) have lost back-to-back games on ninth inning walk-off homers by the Cardinals (49-42) to shake up the standings in the NL Central. The Brewers still sit atop by three games over the Cardinals, while the Reds have cut it to 3.5, and Pittsburgh remains 4.5 back.

The Buzz, 7-2: Needling
Singer Sews up Kitchen Gig
Instant Reaction by
Paul Ben-Itzak
Considered Responses by Cathy Edwards and Mark Russell
The Press Release
Late Tuesday, the Kitchen
announced that Debra Singer, associate curator of contemporary art
at the Whitney Museum, will succeed Elise Bernhardt as its executive
director, with the added title of chief curator. "It is a great
honor to have been appointed to lead the Kitchen at this moment
in time," Singer said in a press release issued by the Chelsea venue.
"I have such admiration for the Kitchen's extraordinary legacy of
showing experimental work, and I look forward to building on that
unique history. Given today's conservative cultural and political
climate, it is more critical than ever to show risk-taking work
within a variety of disciplines."
According to the Kitchen
press release, Singer's primary performance curating experience
consists of five seasons programming the Performance on 42nd Street
series at the Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria (Phillip
Morris) and selecting the "sound and performance works" for the
2002 biennial. She has also served on the Bessies committee.
The Flip Reaction
On Wednesday, Paul
Ben-Itzak forwarded the Kitchen press release to the Dance Insider
e-mail list, topped off with the following flippant comment and
request for substantive response from readers:
Let's see.... The Lower
Manhattan Cultural Council hires a new president/executive director
whose main artistic experience consists of having started a Chelsea
gallery, and now the Kitchen's hired a new chef who's mainly cooked
up biennials. They're even going to call her "Chief Curator." (The
departing director came to the Kitchen from Dancing in the Streets,
if memory serves.)
What do you think, dance
insider? Is the Kitchen about to put its customers on a low-performance
diet? Is it time to wake up and smell the toast?
The Considered Response
On Thursday, Cathy Edwards,
artistic director of Dance Theater Workshop, and Mark Russell, recently
departed artistic and executive director of PS 122, wrote to offer
their evaluations of Singer's appointment.
Cathy Edwards wrote:
Debra has a lot of knowledge
about performing arts -- she's been active as a curator of live
performance, and has served on the Bessies committee for years and
been deeply involved in dialogue about contemporary dance and performance.
I think she'll bring a new perspective to the Kitchen but I wouldn't
assume that performance will disappear. Have you been in touch with
Debra to ask what her programming priorities will be? She has probably
put a lot of thought into this.
Mark Russell wrote:
I hope that you give
Deb Singer a chance. She is a very gifted curator, whose roots are
in theatre and performance, and, yes, dance. She is a friend to
the community of artists in New York. She is part of a new generation
of leaders that is coming up to the plate. She has a very big job
in front of her and she will need all of our support and good will.
I hope you will not jump to conclusions just because she comes from
a visual arts institution. I am looking forward to what she will
program at the Kitchen; I expect it to be challenging and different
and full of questions, new questions. We need some new questions.
If she is able to integrate the Kitchen back into the visual arts
world that would be a good thing for all of us in the live arts.
Perhaps dance will have to share a little more of the pie at the
Kitchen but I think the benefits to all the fields will be worth
I will miss Ms. Bernhardt
at the Kitchen. She did a great job during a really tough time with
a dysfunctional institution. She brought them back to fiscal health
and to interaction with their community. A lot of great work got
done there during her tenure. I think the Kitchen will miss her
knowledge and energy.
However, I applaud the
Kitchen for taking a big risk and a brave move to engage Ms. Singer.
I am particularly impressed by their fast transition to this new
directorship. I think she will do them and us proud... if we open
our minds to a new vision of the Kitchen and give her a chance.

With 397 rolls of a fair 6-sided die (not my favorite use of time, but certainly not infeasible), I could generate more than 1024 random bits. Could I use those bits to generate a keypair that could then be used in encryption without ever touching a (p)rng again?
There are two points:
Generally speaking, cryptographic life without randomness is harsh. A lot of algorithms and protocols require some randomness (e.g. symmetric encryption in CBC mode should have a random IV). You can have "sufficiently good" randomness in a given system as long as you have a secret key, and either state or a non-repeating public value (e.g. a clock, but beware of resets). Indeed, if you have a counter, then you can encrypt the successive counter values with a block cipher (AES comes to mind) and this will be a good PRNG; a non-repeating value known to everybody (such as the current time) can serve as a substitute for the counter.
If a system has no state to update, and no source of randomness, then it is intrinsically rewindable: boot it up, then send the same inputs as previously, and you will get the same output. This is what it means, when we say that a computer is a deterministic system. Replay attacks are the main worry here.
Assuming your dice is fair, each dice roll yields around 2.585 bits of entropy. You could use this to generate strong key-material.
Generating asymmetric keys is however a mathematical process. Both RSA and DSA key generation involve selecting primes. So you can't approach the process with a huge random number in hand and expect to be able to use it as-is.
There are opportunities to 'mix in' your high-entropy dice-material during the key generation process, namely when selecting your primes and encryption exponent in RSA, or when selecting the primes or private secret in DSA.
You would not need to generate so much however, a 1024 bit RSA key holds around 80 bits of entropy;
So you would only need 80 bits of entropy to generate a 1024 bit RSA key. That is to say, that if you consumed as much randomness as possible during every stage of key generation, you would find that you had used up around 80 bits of dice-material by the time you had finished generation.
