CLICK HERE for the Pioneer Football League release
MACON, Ga. – On Monday, the Mercer football program moved one step closer to ending its hibernation as the Pioneer Football League (PFL) announced its 12-team conference game schedule for the upcoming 2013 season.
Mercer, in its inaugural year in the league, is set to play an eight-game conference schedule including marquee match-ups with two of this season's PFL tri-champs Drake and San Diego. The Bears will play four PFL contests at home in the newly built Tony and Nancy Moye Family Football and Lacrosse Complex.
Mercer opens its regular season on August 31, 2013 against NAIA Reinhardt and the Bears first Pioneer Football League battle is set for Saturday, September 28 against defending champ, Drake.
The PFL will release a composite schedule in late July once all league member schedules have been completed. The 2013 PFL schedule is the first with 12 teams, with the addition of Mercer and Stetson joining the league. In spite of the additions, the PFL will retain its single-division format to determine the league champion. Each league member will play eight games within the conference schedule.
The 21st season of PFL play begins when Morehead State visits Jacksonville, Sept. 14. The rest of the league begins the race for the 2013 crown, Sept. 28, when all 12 league members are in action.
The 2013 PFL race leads up to the league's first automatic qualification into the NCAA FCS Championship which begins Nov. 30.

Data Collection
Complete a data sheet (PDF) using the following instructions:
- Name: Name of the observer that has been assigned an identification number. All participants are assigned identification numbers when they have gone through a workshop.
- Observer Code: The three or four digit code you received at your training.
- Description of Location: Try to describe the area based on the type of vegetation. For example, coniferous forest, low developed (lots of trees, lawns, parks, golf courses), medium developed (new housing developments, large apartment complexes, etc.), freshwater marsh surrounded by shrubs.
- City/County: City or town and/or county where the observation occurred.
- Date: The month and year, using all four digits for year.
- Species: Try to identify the species. (Photographs are accepted, if you have questions on the identification.) Please do not omit the species if you are not sure. In such cases, put a question mark, "?" after the species name.
- Source of Identification: How did you find the animal? Did you see it, hear it, was it dead along the side of the road? Did you see tracks?
- Latitude/Longitude: These figures can be easily obtained by finding your location on a DeLorme Virginia Atlas & Gazetteer map or determined from a USGS quadrangle map. Record your location to the nearest half minute (30 seconds) of accuracy.
- How many did you find? Count the number of animals you see. If there are a lot, you can make an estimate. A quick way to estimate is to count 10 birds and estimate how many other sets of 10 birds you see. Remember, the identification of the animal is more important than the number of animals observed.
- Habitat Code: Assign the three-digit habitat code that best describes the habitat in which you recorded each observation. Click on Land Use/Land Cover section of this Web page for a complete listing of all habitat codes. A complete list of habitat codes, along with their definitions, can be found in the yellow WildlifeMapping Code Manual.

Speaking It Into Existence Isn't As Important As This
by Rich Jones - May, 2013
Positive affirmations ain't never hurt nobody. But inaction has. I wish I could tell you how many times over the years I've tried "speaking it into existence." I've made proclamations to the man in the mirror or to a close friend, which resulted in a "[Hell] yeah!" or "Go be great."

5 Standout Things To Bring To Your Next Interview

This should be interesting.
By legalthing on Aug 09, 2006
I'm taking the plunge. Along with more than 3,000 of my fellow employees at
Sun and our CEO (go here he needs the traffic ), I've decided to add my external voice.
My primary motivation is a question that I am frequently asked. It comes in two forms. From others in my profession, it is articulated as: "What is it like being the General Counsel of a Fortune 500 company like Sun Microsystems?" From my children it is posed as: "Daddy, what do you DO at work all day?"
In the future, I'll share with you my observations on life as a GC, my views on a variety of legal issues and business trends and my thoughts about what makes this company so unique. Given the sensitive nature of much that I do and my professional obligations as a licensed attorney, it will be at times challenging to be as open as I would like. But, I'll do my best. Like I said, this should be interesting.
I'll also give you an idea of what it is like to "do the legal thing" in-house. The title comes from what are known in my world as the "Reebok Rules". Written by that company's former GC, Jack Douglass, III, they describe rules for being a successful in-house attorney. They include things like: "Learn the Business", "Be a Problem Solver" and "Make the Coffee". The latter is what I'm going to do right now...

Why Executive Coaching with the Opposite Strengths (OS) Model?
In Short: Relationship problems within a corporation are not only detrimental to the corporate climate but also to efficiency & growth.
My executive coaching therefore is based on the Opposite Strengths Model which attributes hindrance to personal and organizational growth to imbalance in use of strengths.
The OS model has been proven to work in many case studies since the 1960s. OS initiates a dynamic process for the executive of firstly understanding himself and then developing productive relationships with colleagues at the same and different corporate levels.
The executive invests two hours per month with a proven payoff in sustaining personal and organizational success. If the process spreads to the entire workforce via workshops, OS will become a common language of communication throughout the organization. It has been proven that the corporate culture changes positively resulting in savings many times the investment in OS. –

USF Women's Golf Finishes 9th at Spring Invite
The University of Sioux Falls women's golf team improved on Friday's score, carding a 360 Saturday in the final round of Upper Iowa's Spring Invitational giving the Cougars a 724 for the weekend. Despite a lowered team score, USF was unable to move up in the team standings and finished ninth overall in a tough all NSIC field.
Friday's leaders in the team and individual standings maintained their positions today. Maggie Leland shaved three strokes off her first round score to fire a one-over 73 and take home the title with a 149 on the weekend. Her performance helped No.21 Augustana (642) to the team victory. Minnesota State finished five strokes back of the Vikings with a 647 to take second, while Winona State's 669 was good for third place.
USF had two scorers finish in the top 25 in Kali Gottsleben and Tavia Rutherford. Gottsleben matched her first round score with an 84 giving her a 168 and a tie for 17th. Rutherford also replicated her opening round, shooting an 86 today to card a 172 for the invite and tie for 23rd.
Davee Johnson bettered her numbers, shaving six from yesterday's score with a 91 to tie for 43rd (188). Kelsey Leif tied for 46th (196), while Tia Nihart finished in 48th (199).
The Cougars will not have to travel far April 14 when they play in the Augustana Invitational at Prairie Green Golf Course in Sioux Falls, S.D.

Colorado High School Mountain Bike Racing Series
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
PRESS RELEASE: Announcing the Colorado High School Mountain Bike Racing Series
Registration opens for Inaugural Race Series
Contact: Kate Rau - email@example.com - 720.272.9282
BOULDER, Colo.—In the first step outside California for the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA), an estimated one hundred high school mountain bikers from schools across Colorado are eagerly awaiting the inaugural opening event of the four-round 2010 Colorado High School Mountain Bike Racing Series, September 19.
The series, organized by the Colorado High School Cycling League and spanning six weeks, opens at Chalk Creek Ranch, Nathrop, near Buena Vista, Colorado, with a classic Colorado desert mesa course that includes many technical challenges and fast climbs.
Rider registration is now open and online at www.coloradomtb.org, and with schools from Boulder County, Carbondale, Chaffee County, Colorado Springs, Crested Butte, Parker, Durango, and Fort Collins expressing strong interest in the fledgling series, spirits are running high.
Colorado League executive director, Kate Rau, said "I continue to be impressed by the breadth of support and depth of experience associated with the many people stepping up to lead teams, provide race expertise, and promote the Colorado High School Cycling League is outstanding. Emails arrive every day from folks interested in starting or helping with teams, parents and students looking for local teams, and supporters wanting to volunteer at races. I can hardly wait for September 19th to experience the buzz in the Pit Zone at Keith Darner's ranch."
Prior to the race series are several one-day skills training camps, led by the acclaimed mountain bike coach Lee McCormack. These camps prepare both coaches and riders for a safe and fun season of riding. Registration for these, too, is at www.coloradomtb.org.
Rau said, "Even for those who attended our Leader's Summit in June, I highly recommend these informative clinics. They effectively teach the fundamentals to riders from a wide range of abilities. Whether you are a novice or experienced rider, people always learn something at Lee's clinics."
The complete schedule for the 2010 Colorado High School Mountain Bike Racing Series is as follows. More information, including course maps and directions, is at www.coloradomtb.org.

John Deere: Nothing runs like an AGV
Automatic guided vehicles engage specially-designed frames to transport cabs through the assembly process.
A better mouse trap
Deere investigated several different solutions before choosing AGVs. These included an overhead handling system, an old-fashioned chain drive assembly line and even going back to a manual push line. At least with the old system, an operator could push a cab out of the way to fix a problem rather than shut down operations.
Then the Waterloo group learned about an AGV spec that had been designed for Deere's line of harvesters in East Moline, Ill. "There is a lot of commonality across our cabs and we like commonality across our factories," says Olson. "East Moline also had a no fault forward policy and their spec had the necessary line speed and weight specifications for our facility. We jumped on board."
The AGV design Deere chose is a tugger vehicle known as "a mouse." The "mouse" is designed to go under the load, engage the dolly with a pin and then tug it along. Since there is no longer a conveyor on the floor, an operator can walk completely around the cab itself.
The mouse features a low profile base that rises just 8 inches off the floor and shares the same footprint as the dolly that carries the cab. The total load from the shop floor to the bottom of the cab is just 12 inches. At that height, the roof of the cab is accessible to an operator without a ladder. The step up from the ground into the cab was a normal height. These features both brought a level of ergonomics to the line. "There are certain stations that require additional height," Olson says, "but we address those with lift tables."
The vehicle navigates by following a magnetic tape on the floor: If the line needs to change in the future, Deere can simply move the tape.
Deere was also attracted to the mouse vehicle because it was a mass-produced product and not custom-made. If Deere needs another vehicle, it can simply place an order.
Finally, a systems integrator was available with the experience to integrate the AGVs into Deere's existing production line. "We needed a design for the dolly that carries the cab, we needed to modify the ergonomic lifts and the vehicles needed to communicate with the existing systems over the Ethernet," Olson says. "We did not have that expertise in-house. The fact that our supplier had an experienced integrator made this a full package."
Moving cabs
The new system went live on Sept. 17, 2010. Prior to the implementation, Deere gathered a team of technicians, management and assemblers to take ownership of the project. Still, management and the skilled trades group at Waterloo saw a test run of the new system to allay any reservations. The supplier brought in an AGV that picked up a cab, ran a loop and then dropped it off at a staging area, just like the mouse would do once it went into production. Seeing was believing. "I'm sure that our skilled groups and management were skeptical," says Olson. "Once they saw the system do what it was designed to do, people were excited."
In the year since going live, there has been a reduction in labor associated with moving the cab from one station to the next.
More importantly, Deere is now able to adhere to its mistake proofing policy without shutting down the line: If an error is discovered, the AGV carrying the cab with a fault will stop, while the cabs behind and in front of it continue to move forward.
And, the vehicles have brought a new level of flexibility to Deere. "Not that long ago, we did a project over a weekend that allowed a cab to go to five different testers instead of two," Olson says. "It was me, a couple of electricians, the integrator, someone from factory automation and some magnetic tape. We could not have done that with a conveyor."
Having worked with AGVs for the last year, she adds, "We are looking at where else we can use them and there are several other projects in the works," Olson says. "This has been a stepping stone for us."

2016 marks the 20th anniversary of FlightSim.Com. Since its inception, Nels Anderson has been the driving force, launching, piloting, and navigating it to what it is today. His dedication has resulted in one of the largest collections of files and articles of any single flight simulator source. In this interview, some of the biggest names in the community ask Nels the things they've always wanted to know about him and FlightSim.Com.
Ron Blehm returns with another Head-2-Head comparison of available flightsim jetliners. This time he looks at the "Baby Boeings", three models of the B737, the -200, -500 and -700. Read on as he puts them through their paces on takeoff performance and cruise.
From time to time we like to look at an older add-on that is still worthy of your consideration. In this review, Erwin Welker examines one of his favorites, the DC-6B Legends Of Flight for FSX from Just Flight. This is a classic prop airliner, with the flightsim design actually being by Aeroplane Heaven. It's a pleasure to fly and comes with a wide variety of features, liveries, etc.
FlightSimCon 2016 was held this past weekend at the New England Air Museum and Bradley Airport in Connecticut. This year the event grew significantly, with more booths and some 520 people in attendance. Lots of prominent members of the community were on hand to meet and both days were filled with interesting talks. FlightSim.Com was there, and a personal view of the event is offered.
The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 HD Series from Carenado for FSX and Prepar3D is another well made aircraft with unique features and their usual attention to accuracy, realism and detail. Reviewer Bill Stack takes it for a flight and offers his report.
There are a number of places around the world that offer enhanced flightsim experiences, beyond what most of us can do at home. Ravenair is one such company, and Paul Mort recently visited their facility at the Liverpool John Lennon airport in the U.K. and reports having a great experience.
Twenty years ago on this very day FlightSim.Com first opened to the public. Given the short lifespan of many online sites it feels pretty amazing to have lasted this long. Please join us in celebrating this event. In this op-ed, FlightSim.Com founder Nels Anderson gives some thoughts about the past and the future.
In this interview we introduce Peter Tram, lead developer for Aerobridge Studios. Peter has several years experience doing scenery for X-Plane and will shortly be expanding to do payware as well as freeware, and will also branch into doing aircraft, as seen in some of the screen shots here.
In this article new reviewer Klee C. Dobra takes a look at the Piper PA34 Seneca II made for FS2004 by Carenado. Despite some initial problems, he came to really like the aircraft and found it to be a wonderful airplane to fly because is feels and sounds like the real thing.
Time for a new Where In The World challenge from Ron Blehm. Last month's challenge had some personal meaning for Ron but proved quite difficult with few correct answers. This month hopefully will be a bit easier, involving a provincial capital that's been around for some 3000 years. Can you figure out where?
Do you prefer flying in one airliner type over another? Based on some recent experiences, Ron Blehm compares the Boeing 737-900 "cattlecar" versus the Airbus A320 "scarybus" and offers up his experiences and a conclusion of sorts...
Platinum Airways, the Open Skies virtual airline, has entered its summer routine with "Delayed". The Destination of the Week series will be visiting nine airports with an exceptional track record as far as punctuality is concerned.

I live on South Kihei Road. I eat on South Kihei Road and anyone who is smart enough to stay in South Maui when they visit the island of Maui will want to know about these establishments when making their choices of where to go when the get hungry.
I figure it would be nice of me to share my finding with you as I ate my way up and down South Kihei Road.
So for my loyal and faithful readers and for you visitors to Maui and residents alike, you will want to take a gander at this local style information on some of South Maui's Eateries.
I started my food journey at The Isana Restaurant at 515 South Kihei Road. It is on the Maui Beach Resort property.
The Isana is a family run Korean establishment with a sushi bar. They have a beautiful rainbow roll and some tasty menu items. The owners Andy & Cindy aim to please. There is an extensive menu and they are open for lunch and dinner seven days a week and into the later night hours. There is half price sushi after 10 PM on the latter nights of the week.
I want to make mention of an Indian Restaurant, Monsoon India, owned by my friend Hari. It's a few blocks further south in the Menehune Shores complex, for you Indian food lovers. I have a friend, Linda,that eats there weekly & loves the buffet.
Working my way south on South Kihei Road, I find myself in the Azecka area where we have our Kihei Post Office and Longs Drug Store, now officially CVS, where we buy just about everything we need while in South Maui, if we don't want to drive to town.
There are a number of restaurants to mention in the four corners, Azecka area. I will not mention all of them, as I didn't have time to review and personally eat at all of them recently but I can name you a few good ones.
Coconuts is becoming a Maui favorite. They have a sixteen ingredient taco with Mango. It's yummy!
Diamonds on the corner a few doors down from Coconuts and directly across the street from the Kihei Post Office has adopted part of the breakfast menu from the former, very popular Stella Blues which closed its doors a while back (see my previous articles about that), and hired on cooks, reduced the menu prices of some of those breakfast favorites and are becoming a place to have breakfast for us South Kihei Road folks that live up towards that North end where restaurants are fewer and farther between as opposed to further South down the road.
Also, I want to make mention of Maui Brick Oven over in the corner near Longs that is known for their tasty, gluten free menu. Further into that corner we have an Italian Restaurant owned by Kono. It's open for dinner, as is Maui Brick Oven.
There is a good Vietnamese restaurant across the street.
Ok, This brings us to the end of Part 1 of South Kihei Road restaurants and next time I will continue on further South with more recommendations for you as I continue to eat my way South through Kihei.

When the economy's difficult and jobs aren't secure, people tend to focus on the short term...on survival. But what they don't grasp is how their current position could be a springboard to their next position--or even the one after that. Caught between a fear of failure and a desire for instant success, they limit the risks they take, unwittingly limiting their opportunities. As much as they want to get ahead, they simply can't see how to get there.
Trajectory, the new book (published this month) by David L. Van Rooy is the answer. Each and every person has their own "trajectory" or career path--and this timely and practical book presents seven strategies designed to help anyone create and manage theirs.
Readers will discover how to:
- Make the most of feedback
- Avoid stagnation and break through plateaus
- Think big, act small, and move quick
- Achieve growth through failure
- Move to the front of the pack through persistence
- Continuously develop both "soft" and "hard" professional skills
"Career success doesn't happen overnight. From building relationships with mentors, to positioning (and repositioning) yourself for promotion--this essential guide provides the tools you need for a lifetime of advancement," explains Van Rooy.
- Van Rooy is Senior Director, Global Organizational Effectiveness at Walmart, where he is responsible for the world's largest Employee Engagement and Performance Management programs. He has also overseen the development of talent management programs for leading companies, including Burger King and Marriott International.

CHARLESTON, Ill. - Bradley's season-long losing streak reached six games Tuesday when Eastern Illinois leftfielder David Ciaglia drove home Tyler Schweigert with an 8th-inning sacrifice fly, lifting the host Panthers (25-25) to a 4-3 win against the Braves (25-23-1) at Coaches Stadium.
Trailing 3-1 entering the eighth inning, Bradley pulled even consecutive, 2-out RBI singles by Jason Leblebijian and Bob Schuch, but the Panthers had the answer against Braves reliever Patrick Flanagan (2-3).
T.J. McManus greeted Flanagan with a leadoff double to start the home half of the eighth and Schweigert was inserted as a pinch-runner. Jacob Reese followed with a bunt single, leaving runners on the corners with no outs. After Ben Thoma fouled out, Ciaglia lifted a fly ball to centerfield to plate Schweigert with the go-ahead run.
Schuch, one of three Braves to go 2-for-4 Tuesday, also had an RBI single in the fourth inning to create a 1-1 tie. Leblebijian and catcher Derek Sprout also were 2-for-4 for the Braves.
Bradley will close out the regular-season by hosting Dallas Baptist for a 3-game series Thursday (6 p.m.), Friday (6 p.m.) and Saturday (1 p.m.) at O'Brien Field. Senior left-hander Joe Bircher (7-2) will be Bradley's starter for the series opener Thursday night.

Ex-officer pleads guilty to prostitution charges
A former Baltimore police officer has pleaded guilty to operating a prostitution business.
Thirty-two-year-old Lamin Manneh entered the plea Wednesday in federal court in Baltimore. He faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison at sentencing on May 8.
Prosecutors say Manneh posted prostitution ads on Internet for two women and rented an apartment and hotel rooms for them.
Authorities say Manneh would wait outside where the sex acts were taking place armed with his police-issued firearm to protect the women.

I must be getting too comfortable with The Closet Boutique. I've been walking in as if
owner Loretta Armada were my new best friend. With racks lined along its factory motif surroundings, tables covered with sweet accessories, and a jewelry case spilling with headbands and all the tasty chain-lined treats you can imagine, you'll feel right at home.
owner Loretta Armada were my new best friend. With racks lined along its factory motif surroundings, tables covered with sweet accessories, and a jewelry case spilling with headbands and all the tasty chain-lined treats you can imagine, you'll feel right at home.
That same sensation you get when barrowing your BFFS nautical's (intense) you can dig up with a diversity of mix and match pieces, and actually get to call them your own at the end of the day (opposed to returning them to their rightful owner). Prices range from $5-$90 for accessories to even a cocktail dress to build your collection of method shopping.
In a city where Forever 21 is the go-to shop for all occasions, it gets tiring having a limited selection of pieces. Once you grow out of the teenage right of passage (puberty), you aim for something more than just rhinestones and spandex. This is what makes The Closet Boutique stand out. Loretta personally selects each piece based on what she herself would wear, which would be something that's comfortable, yet playful enough to dress up or down. This is where you get that relaxed vibe when rummaging through the shops racks.
I've hung around while The Closet followers fed their addiction, and the connection she has to her clients make it all the more intimate, taking the shopping experience to a whole other level. Some updating their calendars on their smart phones for when the next shipment of Loretta's surprises arrive, others making plans to bring in their pack of connections so they can show off their new best friend. Point blank, it's everything we've been itching to uncover.
The story behind the mastermind is as exciting as its existence. With a Masters in Fashion Marketing from Parsons in New York, Loretta has had her hands filled with plenty of dirt, having worked for fashion influences such as Elle Magazine (my fave), and also as a publicist/stylist for Italian designer Etro. Can I make it any more obvious that this little mama has an undeniable love for fashion? Verdict says: She's quite the phenomenal business woman. To actually gain experience in New York in such a hardcore industry is a challenge in itself, but to top it all off, when she moved down to Miami with her one and only, she ran with some crazy idea of opening up a boutique, and invested a large portion of her wedding funds to make The Closet a reality.
Now, after just five months in business, The Closet Boutique will be featured in an local fashion showcase with yours truly, your Miami Fashion Examiner. I'll be styling all her latest pieces for the season, so current lovers attend, and future addicts come get a taste of what you can get.

Greetings Christian family and friends,
As many of you no doubt noticed, beginning on Monday, September 16th around 3:00 PM EST — USA Eastern Standard Time — or a little before that, all of the services related to the Endtime Prophecy Net ministry suddenly went offline.
Here on Guam, it was Tuesday, September 17th 5:00 AM — we are fourteen hours ahead of EST — and I had just dragged myself out of bed when I made this discovery. Still quite groggy from sleep, I immediately called our ISP's 24/7 tech support line in order to report the problem, and hopefully get it resolved ASAP. After all, everything was down: the Endtime Prophecy Net web server, web browsing, email, access to my Facebook account, etc. I was totally dead in the water. GGGRRRrrr . . .
Well, try as we might, after several attempts, we were still unable to get my cable modem reset, and it was not registering with my ISP, and neither was my router. So, the tech support guy scheduled me for a maintenance visit which was to occur about 36 hours later. Yes, I was rather irked by the fact that the entire EPN ministry would be offline for so long a time. They had never done this to me before. However, it was very early morning here, and I could not speak to someone who I knew could expedite the service to my home.
Well, around 5:00 PM on that same day — or about twelve hours later on September 17th — I called someone at our ISP who had helped me on a number of previous occasions. This person has always given me good, courteous and immediate service. If anyone could get us back online, she could.
I was not disappointed. Within half an hour — or about 5:30 PM September 17th, our local time — everything was back online again, to my relief.
While I obviously did not like the down time and my inability to access the Internet, the Internet outage was a blessing in disguise in a number of ways. For one thing, without Internet access, I was forced to use my time another way.
Thus, around 6:00 AM yesterday morning — September 17th here — I got the inspiration to resume working on the update to my 1999 article entitled "Parable of the Tree and the Storm". After working on it nonstop for sixteen hours straight, I am happy to report that it is now completed, and I will be announcing the update in a separate blog message right after this one.
So the Internet outage was a productive time for me. Thank the Lord. 🙂

Friday evening in the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, an exciting, emotive, decipherable, musical, interpretation of Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem, was performed, and it may well have been the best that anyone has heard. The fine acoustics of Helzberg was part of that performance, reducing (not eliminating) the amount of physical effort for orchestra and chorus to fill the room with enormous, luscious sound.
Clarity is the key word; instruments and singers were clear. A millisecond of silence was inserted between the s of dies and the ih of irae and the ih of illa. A minor thing, not at all. The technique provides a new puff of air to propel the vowel sound, allowing vowel and volume to be instantly sounded. Rather than having to put power into the transition of sirae or silla (which often becomes zirae and zilla) there is a clean start of the vowel sound. The power of the voices is instantly and simultaneously released without pressing the voices, without the questionable intonation that results from overworking the voices. The standard industry sound of Dies irae is raucous, uncontrolled, let it all hang out, yelling.
The Kansas City Symphony chose to have the bass drummer with a mallet in each hand to play two over-sized horizontal drums to, antiphonally with the full orchestra, announce the Dies irae with the four spine-straightening pummels that are immediately followed by the thunderous choir entrance.
There were two conductors at work, together. Music director, Michael Stern gives clear indication of the instant the sound is to start and stop, and how it is to sound. The members of the symphony come to rehearsals with the music ready to be professionally performed. Mr. Stern forms the individual sounds into a single, efficient, whole that is so much more than the separate, wonderful parts.
The fastidious treatment of each syllable and vowel sound, as detailed above, are from the coaching of Robert Shaw-trained, chorus director, Charles Bruffy. The most natural inclination in a Bruffy rehearsal is to raise one's hand and whine, "Can we just sing the music." Mr. Bruffy has won this battle with this group years ago; the ensemble understands that the Shavian choral technique causes a great choir to transition from ordinarily wonderful to uniquely wonderful, a choir that can be understood, word by word, and makes every choral nuance on purpose. This training must be at a level that it perseveres to a different maestro, who must also keep tabs on the orchestra. It is the practice of this organization for the orchestral conductor to attend two choral rehearsals, observing Mr. Bruffy, then taking the podium to recreate the same choral sound.
Verdi (1813-1901) was a composer of operas, great operas, still highly represented in the world-wide repertoire. His Requiem (1874) is sometimes referred to as his greatest opera. There were breath-taking operatic moments in this weekend's performance, particularly in solo ensembles. But, some of the most flamboyant arias were subjugated to a worshipful, awe-struck gratitude for the divine promise of eternal light.
Mezzo-soprano, Tamara Mumford, met the Verdian demands for range with a full, voiced low, a bright middle sound, and perfectly controlled flute-like highs. She interacted beautifully with the chorus in the Liber scriptus; her voice effortlessly carried over chorus and orchestra with simple beauty, and an unforced sound, matching the chorus and orchestral attitude.
Amber Wagner, soprano, sang with a consistent timbre and room-ownership each time she participated. If there were a time during the mass for the audience to break into applause, it was after her solo in the Liber me. The final note was so high, so room-filling, so demanding, but as delicate as a humming bird riding a rainbow, that the room was hushed with (worshipful?) intensity.
Dimitri Pittas, tenor, delivered his arias and ensembles with a combination of Baroque evangelist and a self-effacing Romantic tenor. The soaring lines lifted up as an offering. The demanding Ingemisco tenor aria within the Dies irae was a monument to selfless performance. He negotiated each line with glorious, un-pressed sound, that filled, rather than pounded, the hall. Bravo!
Rounding out the ensemble quartet was bass, Jordan Bisch. He moved in and out of ensembles and arias with grace, fitting the mood of soli deo gloria that permeated the entire evening. Most notable was the smooth, nearly vibrato-less extended notes; sure demonstration of well-developed breath control. His Confutatis maledictis was offered as a powerful prayer, rather than a sinister malevolency.
The full house respectfully delayed its standing ovation and triple curtain call until every scintilla of resounding echo had evaporated into the walls.

Develops and implements integrated marketing strategies, digital, social, event and experiential programs for consumer brands, leveraging music and culture.
This week's picks include Michael Kiwanuka, Jungle, Nick Hakim, Royce Wood Junior, Hudson Mohawke, and Olivier Daysoul. Enjoy!
It must be against Olivier Daysoul's religion to be un-awesome. Dude keeps showing us the breadth and depth of his stylistic ownership with every release. Check out this video of his feature on Sola Rosa's "Promise."
The 80s are in full effect with newer acts like New Look and tracks like Krystal Klear and Olivier Daysoul's "Never Thought You Would Go."
Swedish act Newtimers offer their impressive contribution to the resurgence with their Ego EP. Sparse and synthy soul-pop candy for your ear one time. Enjoy below!
Beat machine guru Gensu Dean has now teamed up with the buttery smooth Olivier Daysoul for the soulfully delicious new tune, "Wantchu."
The song is an refreshing juxtaposition of opposing forces; a head knocking hip hop beat mixed with rich honeyed vocals. We'll take that.
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/RgopVOg2ifk" width="550" height="445" allowfullscreen="true" fvars="fs=1" /]
Our friend and one of the hardest working men in hip-hop today released his People Hear What They See album. Drawing inspiration from sitting and observing outside environments, Oddisee endeavored to break the stereotypical emcee mold and write about things outside of his own personal reality.
You can't help but respect Oddisee's thoughtfulness and focus on creativity. And beyond subject matter, this album sees a refreshing evolution in the producer/emcee's sound, guiding the listener across brilliant tapestry of melodic hip-hop.
Above, the smooth toned Olivier Daysoul sits down with Oddisee for a soulful acoustic of "You Know Who You Are," a bonus track on the album.

BOULDER - The Colorado Buffaloes threw a "Welcome Back" party for coach Jeff Bzdelik on Monday night at the Coors Events Center.
Previously unbeaten Coppin State probably wished it hadn't been invited.
The Buffaloes flogged the Eagles 82-58, improving to 2-0 on the strength of a high-energy start that saw them hold their visitors to only two field goals for almost 13 minutes of the first half.
Junior Cory Higgins led CU with 21 points, while freshman Alec Burks added 18. Junior college transfer Marcus Relphorde had 14 points, six rebounds and a team-best four assists, and lone senior Dwight Thorne II contributed 13 points.
Due to a family emergency, Bzdelik missed his team's 88-72 season-opening win against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Friday. He was replaced on the bench by associate head coach Steve McClain.
"It was surreal in a way," Bzdelik said of watching his team's opener live on BuffsTV. "It was a different perspective, to be honest."
The perspective he got upon returning was this: In the game he watched from afar and the one he coached Monday night, the Buffs showed him they can start efficiently but they have trouble sustaining that effort for 40 minutes.
"We had a great 20 minutes against Arkansas (Pine Bluff) and today we had 27 or 28 good minutes," Bzdelik said. "We need to sustain our energy (for a full game)."
After surging ahead by 39 points (73-34) on a pair of free throws by Relphorde with 11:02 remaining, the Buffs appeared to lose either interest or intensity - or maybe both.
The Eagles put together a 22-2 run to pull to 75-56 with 3:05 left. That stretch undoubtedly will serve as a . . . talking point, maybe . . . for Bzdelik in practices to come.
But given how the Buffs opened, they seemed to be thinking shutout.
After Burks converted a smooth reverse layup for a 2-0 lead, CU got consecutive three-point baskets from Relphorde, Thorne, then Burks to surge to an 11-0 lead - at which point veteran Coppin State coach Ron "Fang" Mitchell called a time out.
Talking it over didn't help. Mitchell said his team "didn't come out with any type of intensity. That's when you see a lot of wide-open jump shots. Their minds weren't really there, and you have to credit Jeff's team for coming out ready to play, ready to take on the challenge."
The Eagles (2-1) didn't score their first field goal until the 15:15 mark of the opening half - and until then, the Buffs had a 15-0 lead. Getting their second field goal would require another 8:04 for the Eagles - and by then, the Buffs were up 30-10.
The half ended with Coppin State managing five field goals (22 attempts) and CU cruising 45-20.
With the Buffs ahead by as many as 28 points and never leading by fewer than 17 after the 12:03 mark of the first half, Bzdelik could tinker at will with his lineup and see who complemented whom.
At one point, he had three freshmen and two sophomores on the floor - and that lineup held its own. Bzdelik's biggest wish: That freshman guard Shannon Sharpe (out due to knee surgery) could have been among the youngsters.
"It's a shame people have to wait to see (Sharpe)," Bzdelik said. "We had a heck of a recruiting class."
Starting for the second consecutive game, the 6-foot-6 Burks, of Grandview, Mo., finished the opening half with a game-high 11 points.
His first half line: 4-of-5 from the field (1-of-1 from three-point range), 2-of-2 from the free throw line, three assists, one blocked shot, one turnover.
Bzdelik called Burks "talented, first and foremost. He's really skilled and unselfish. He needs experience, maturity and strength (but) he's a really good passer."
Burks said he came to CU "wanting to start, but I knew Nate (Tomlinson) was here. I just wanted to come off the bench and be a spark plug."
He opened the game that way, and he and his teammates didn't ease back on the throttle to open the second half either. They outscored their visitors 8-2 in the first 5 minutes of the second half and took a 31-point lead (53-22) on Burks' three-point play with 17:12 remaining.
From there, CU's advantage crept to 36 (69-33) with 12:20 to play, then 37 (71-34), then 39 (73-34) . . . leaving the final margin - and perhaps whether Buffs could keep their feet on the accelerator - the only unanswered questions.
Playing only 18 minutes in the opener because of foul trouble, Relphorde stayed clear of that Monday night and logged 28 minutes - one of seven Buffs having double-digit playing time and again putting himself among the nine who scored.
Bzdelik said Relphorde being in "five different systems the last five years" means he's still adjusting.
Despite his team's second-half lull, Bzdelik said he liked his team's attitude and passion: "Those are things we can control . . . . We are not going to shoot the ball all the time like we started shooting tonight (53.8 percent in the first half). Offense is a variable; defense and effort have to be there all 40 minutes."
The Buffs play host to Texas Southern on Wednesday (7 p.m., Coors Events Center) before heading to the EA Sports Maui Invitational for three games next week.

Salkovic-Petrisic, M; Osmanovic, J; Grünblatt, E; Riederer, P; Hoyer, S (2009). Modeling sporadic alzheimer's disease: the insulin resistant brain state generates multiple long-term morphobiological abnormalities inclusive hyperphosphorylated tau protein and amyloid-beta. A Synthesis. Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 18(4):729-750.
View at publisher
Nosologically, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is not a single disorder. Missense gene mutations involved in increased formation of the amyloid-beta protein precursor derivatives amyloid-beta (Abeta)<formula>_{1-40}</formula> and Abeta<formula>_{1-42/43}</formula> lead to autosomal dominant familial AD, found in the minority of AD cases. However, millions of subjects suffer from sporadic AD (sAD) of late onset, for which no convincing evidence suggests Abeta as the primary disease-generating compound. Environmental factors operating during pregnancy and postnatally may affect susceptibility genes and stress factors (e.g., cortisol), consequently affecting brain development both structurally and functionally, causing disorders becoming manifest late in life. With aging, a desynchronization of biological systems may result, increasing further brain entropy/declining criticality. In sAD, this desynchronization may involve stress components, cortisol and noradrenaline, reactive oxygen species, and membrane damage as major candidates causing an insulin resistant brain state with decreased glucose/energy metabolism. This further leads to a derangement of ATP-dependent cellular and molecular work, of the cell function in general, as well as derangements in the endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi apparatus, axon, synapses, and membranes, in particular. A self-propagating process is thus generated, including the increased formation of hyperphosphorylated tau-protein and Abeta as abnormal terminal events in sAD rather than causing the disorder, as elaborated in the review.

Clark vs O'Reilly
This is several days old but it's always a pleasure to see former NATO Commander Wesley Clark verbally sparring with Fox News' nut-job Bill O'Reilly. Clark impressed in the 2004 democratic primaries with his intelligence and eloquence and here he seems sharper and more forceful than ever before. Loud mouthed O'Reilly looks woefully naive in comparison.
There's some vague talk of Clark being a Democratic contender for the 2008 election. He's certainly the person talking the most sense about Iraq.

Mahavishnu John McLaughlin: Hearts and Flowers
Hearts and Flowers
John McLaughlin (acoustic guitar)
My Goal's Beyond (Rykodisc RCD 10051)
John McLaughlin (acoustic guitar).
Composed by P.D. Bob Cornford.
Recorded: New York, March 1971
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
My Goal's Beyond can't be killed with a stick. Every few years it is re-released and a new generation experiences the joy of listening to John McLaughlin's compositions and jazz standards played beautifully on acoustic guitar. When the album was first released, it was a revelation and in some ways started a revolution. The world was awash in electric guitar solos. Now here was a guy, who had put forth his share of mind-bending electric solos, performing sensitive music that had to be expertly executed on acoustic guitar. It changed a lot of people's perceptions about that instrument. You can't fool people with music like this.
"Hearts and Flowers," irritatingly mislabeled on my Ryko CD release as "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," is a prime example of what has always separated McLaughlin from other practicing jazz-rock guitarists. He has never been afraid to offer elements of grace and beauty in his performances. He is likely to play a mind-melting fusion number in concert and follow it up with "My Romance." The opening bars of "Hearts and Flowers" are gorgeous. He plays the melody with ease and confidence. His prerecorded bassline and chords accompany him as his melody lines and solos offer a European classicist flair. There is a bit of Gypsy in him, too. He supplies tension by varying his string attack. The song is a little over 2 minutes of quickly paced smiling satisfaction. You will want a spot of tea afterward. Or perhaps a bouquet.

If you are a working photographer there is a good chance someone has asked you if they can work as an assistant or intern on one of your jobs. For new photographers this is a welcome opportunity to get some free help especially on a test shoot. On the other hand, hiring an inexperienced assistance or someone to carry your bags on a professional job is a disaster waiting to happen; I have seen those disasters first hand.
As a photographer I have experienced assistants drinking and eating on job in plain view of the clients, talking on the set, texting on their phones and suggesting ideas to the client on topics they have no idea about. Yes, I know there are some rare cases were it doesn't happen, but a majority of the time inexperience assistants make bad decisions that affect the tempo of the shoot and the reputation of the photographer. This might some extreme but believe me it happens all the time. This is why getting the proper photo assistant training is important and I screen all my own assistants.
This past weekend on the 22nd and 23rd, I attended the sold out American Photographic Artist (APA's) Photo Assistant Basic Training sponsored by Sony. The cost of the program for a non-member for the two days was $120 and included lunch both days and for members the cost was $40. Believe me when I say this, the program was a steal for the value and education! My goal in attending was to benchmark the direction I provide to assistants and learn tips from some of the best photographer in the industry. I must admit, I was hesitant about the program overall because training large groups is difficult and rarely effective but this program exceeded my expectations and doubts.
Day 1 started out with a panel discussion that included Tony Gale - APA NY Chapter Chair, Award-winning Photographer (Moderator), Matthew Jordan Smith - Photographer Sony Artisan of Imagery, Kayla Lindquist - Director, Sony Artisans of Imagery Program, and former Photo Assistant Shane O'Neill - Pro Photographer, Tintype Specialist, former Photo Assistant, Drew Sherman - Expert Photo Assistant, Emerging Pro Photographer.
This panel discussion was focused, informational, and stressed the importance professionalism, being honest about what you know and creating team harmony on set. One panelist who shined, that could be tough when your sitting next to Smith, Lindquist and O'Neil, was Sherman. Sherman understood his role and the importance of it as a photo assistant. He shared valuable tips and nuances about how he works with photographers. But the one skill set that made him stand out was his understanding of how the photo assistant business works.
The other panelist Gale, Smith, O'Neil, and Lindquist (she started out as an assistant), rounded out the panel discussion with real world examples of their experience while working on sets and with assistants. They all expressed different approaches assistants should take to contacting photographers about assisting. Some preferred that you researched them before calling, and others preferred that you showed a respectfully consistency your follow up when contacting them. But they all agreed that professionalism, photo assistant skill sets, and etiquette were the most important traits an assistant could have.
The Day One Take Away:
Being in the driver's seat on a major shoot is high pressure for a pro photographer. I know because I have worked some of the biggest corporate events in the Bay Area as a lead photographer. Clients will change visions on a dime and failure to execute them is not an option. Photographers are dependent on their assistants to solve problems and provide solutions. The more you understand what a photographer needs the better assistant you are going to become. Your role as an assistant depends on your training and more importantly your understanding of the dynamics of a shoot and what needs to be done so that your photographer is successful.
Day 2 was lead by New York portrait photographer Tony Gale, celebrity photographer and Sony Artisan of Imagery Matthew Jordan Smith, Acclaimed Advertising, Music and Editorial Photographer David Robin who assisted for Irving Penn, and Prolific Advertising, Editorial Food Photographer Deborah Jones.
We broke off into groups of 10 and rotated between stations. My group's first stop was food photographer Deborah Jones, who one of the best in the country. Jones, who lectured most of the time reminded me of some of my mentors, she was very candid. That set the tone for the seriousness of the expectations of becoming an assistant. If I were an aspiring photo assistant she would have definitely set the standard at which I should operate. She also demonstrated some invaluable photography tips that I found extremely useful in my own work that assistants should know about food photography. Jones took her craft very seriously and I could tell she was also very passionate about the information she wanted to translate to our group. Jones was inspiring to watch and listen to.
Next we rotated over to Tony Gale's station. Gale simulated the actual feeling of setting up in different areas of the studio. For example, he had the attendees setup a white sweep with V-Flats, a 2-light setup with power packs in a stairwell, and then another 2-light setup for a window shot in which he bounced light off the walls using the "Sunny 16" rule to gauge his exposure. His setups simulated the flow and movement of an actual shoot. It was obvious that Gale was a seasoned educator. He was knowledgeable, informative, approachable, and friendly. But what was most impressive about him was his ability to crank out quality images "on the fly" as we moved around the studio.
At our next station high profile Photographer Dave Robin simulated a fashion shoot using a tech, 1st assistant, Hair and Makeup Artist (HAMUA), and models. The impressive part about his station was he had all 10 attendees setting up lighting and modifiers, while coordinating the HAMUA, and teaching key points on metering and lighting all within a 90 minute time frame. Shooting with "packs and heads" is no easy task, anything can go wrong. Add a live demo, and 10 hands on students, you better be good to pull it off. Robin was like a conductor at symphony all while still being approachable and focused in his teachings. (He was Dope!)
We then rotated over to Matthew Jordan Smith's area and he definitely challenged our group with his setup. Smith had the attendees build a mock platform for some dancers he was going to photograph on a white background using 4 backlights and a beauty dish on a boom for a key light. Attendees had to run power to a Distro, setup V-Flats and C-Stands, then power up 4 Profoto 7a packs, and meter for the specific F-stops Smith wanted. This was my first time seeing Smith teach live and he proved that he is not only a great teacher but he understands how to manage people and solve problems quickly. Imagine instructing a group of inexperienced assistants on a 5 light setup using a sophisticated lighting system all within hour, impressive.
The only challenge I found with program was the information covered on day 1 projected on the wall was hard see. And you have to be an outgoing type of person and willing to be hand on in the training to benefit from it. Outside of that, the program was well thought out and the instructors were grade A. If you are planning on attending this program in the near future, one student flew in from Birmingham Alabama that's how popular it was, register early. And if they increase the price of the program, they should, it will be well worth the value.

More carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere and rising temperatures are causing rice agriculture to become a larger
source of the potent greenhouse gas methane, new research published in Nature Climate Change reveals. This is
important because rice is one of the world's top three staple crops.
The researchers—Kees Jan van
Groenigen, Research Fellow, School of Natural Sciences, Botany Department,
Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland; Bruce
Hungate, Professor of Biology, Northern Arizona University, and Chris
van Kessel, Professor and Chair, Department of Plant Sciences, University of
California-Davis—gathered published research from 63 different experiments on
rice paddies, mostly from Asia and North America. They then used a statistical technique
called meta-analysis to look for general patterns. "Two strong patterns emerged,"
Hungate said. "First, more CO2 boosted emissions of methane from rice paddies;
and second, higher temperatures caused a decline in rice yields."
According to the study, in the future the amount of methane emitted from rice paddies is likely to increase. "Together, higher CO2 concentrations and warmer temperatures
predicted for the end of this century will about double the amount of methane
emitted per kilogram of rice produced," said van Kessel. "Because global demand
for rice will increase further with a growing world population, our results
suggest that without additional measures, the total methane emissions from rice
agriculture will strongly increase."
The authors point out that there are options available to reduce methane emissions from rice agriculture—management
practices such as mid-season drainage and using alternative fertilizers as well as switching to more heat-tolerant rice varieties
and adjusting sowing dates. The study caught the attention of The New York
Times, where it was featured in the paper's green blog post.

Human renin biosynthesis and secretion in normal and ischemic kidneys.
Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA 02115.
The pathway of renin biosynthesis and secretion in normal and ischemic human kidneys has been investigated by pulse-labeling experiments. The results indicate that in normal human kidney, preprorenin is rapidly processed to 47-kDa prorenin. Microradiosequencing showed that this molecule was generated by cleavage between Gly-23 and Leu-24, yielding a 43-amino acid proregion. Analysis of prorenin secreted by the kidney tissue yielded an identical sequence, indicating that prorenin is secreted without any further proteolysis. An examination of the kinetics of processing and secretion suggested that a majority of the newly synthesized prorenin is quickly secreted, while only a small fraction is processed intracellularly to the mature renin. The differences in secretion kinetics between prorenin and mature renin and the selective inhibition of prorenin secretion by monensin suggest that they are secreted independently via two pathways: a constitutive pathway probably from the Golgi or protogranules that rapidly release prorenin and a regulated pathway that secretes mature renin from the mature granules. A comparison of the kinetics of processing between normal and ischemic tissues suggests that renal ischemia leads to an overall increase in the rate of processing of prorenin to mature renin. In addition, prolonged biosynthetic labeling of renin in the ischemic kidney yielded two smaller molecular weight immunoreactive forms suggestive of renin fragments that may be degradative products. These fragments were not detected in normal kidney tissue labeled for similar lengths of time.
