What Exactly is T-Mobile's Mysterious "Project Black"?
You know a carrier's up to something big when they ask their employees to sign NDAs about it. It's been dubbed "Project Black" and apparently is supposed to be this big mysterious "game-changer" that will give a serious Mobile Makeover to the ol' no. 4.
Indeed, as usually happens, not everyone honored that NDA. The project is actually Project Dark, and involves the release of 3 new legendary devices that will rock the world and rapid expansion of T-Mobile's 3G network to 21 Mbps.
The devices are the Blackberry 9700 (Onyx or Bold 2) and 2 Nokia N-series devices– one being the N900 and then something else in addition (N97 Mini perhaps?).
The other big news is that T-Mobile is rumored to have a $50 unlimited everything (voice, SMS, MMS, data) plan, which would knock the socks off anything else that is currently offered by any other carrier.
That's not too shabby. We just wonder — did they really have to sign NDAs for that? It seems a bit over the top.

Reviews for the Bike It Digital Clamp Meter
Inadequate for motorcycles
The product only has one DC voltage measurement range (up to 1000V) which makes it very inaccurate at the low end (0-100V). Measurements deviate by up to 1.5V (not surprising given the range) which means it cannot be used effectively to check the status of your motorcycle battery.Anonymous - London

Take a look around any Wood Dale neighborhood, and you are likely to see "Protected By" signs from a variety of home security companies, warning potential burglars and home invaders that they're boosting their odds of being caught. But the houses that most criminals tend to avoid are those with signs that announce they are protected by an ADT Monitored Home Security System. But what is it about an ADT monitored alarm that strikes fear into the hearts of crooks in Illinois?

How to Find Out if a Decedent Had Stocks
Original post by David Sarokin of Demand Media
When a person dies, it is often left to the surviving family members to handle the decedent's financial affairs. This includes things like paying outstanding bills, filing taxes and deciding the disposition of investments. If stock holdings are not detailed in a will or in the decedent's personal papers, you can use a variety of sources to find information on the decedent's stock holdings.
Step 1
Check the decedent's tax returns. The decedent's tax filings from past years likely include information on stock sales and dividends received, and are generally one of the most detailed sources of financial information readily available. Family members handling the decedent's estate can request a transcript of tax filings from the IRS. The request can be made online, through the mail or over the phone.
Step 2
Check newly arriving mail. If you have access to the decedent's mail, check it for statements from brokers and tax information from stock holdings. An immediate family member can file a forwarding address with the post office to have the decedent's mail sent to a new address. This will help simplify the task of tracking new mail as it arrives.
Step 3
Examine the decedent's computers. Many people maintain financial records on their computers, either as documents, spreadsheets or as part of financial software such as Quicken or TurboTax. If the computer is not password-protected, examine program and file names to find those likely to contain financial information. Files dated in January, February, March or April are more likely to be associated with tax records than files from other months. Be sure to examine all computers that the decedent may have used.

Potts Named to O'Brien Watch List
Aug. 4, 2009
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech quarterback Taylor Potts was one of 33 players nationally named to the 2009 O'Brien Award Watch List, announced this week by the Davey O'Brien Foundation in Fort Worth, Texas. Potts is one of six quarterbacks from the Big 12 Conference named to the list.
"This is a nice honor for Taylor, and he's very deserving of being mentioned with the other quarterbacks," Texas Tech Head Coach Mike Leach said. "The fact that he hasn't started a game is overshadowed by his ability. He's been around the program now for three seasons and is a veteran in this offense."
Potts is one of two players on the list that doesn't have a career start -- Aaron Corp (USC). Potts, a junior from Abilene, Texas, enters fall camp as the starter, taking over for former O'Brien semifinalist and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award winner Graham Harrell. In 15 career games, Potts has completed 55-of-85 passes for 669 yards and five touchdowns.
In addition to Potts, Big 12 quarterbacks Sam Bradford (Oklahoma), Robert Griffin (Baylor), Colt McCoy (Texas), Todd Reesing (Kansas) and Zac Robinson (Oklahoma State) are among the candidates.
The O'Brien committee will follow performances of all FBS quarterbacks until semifinalists are announced October 26. Finalists will be named November 23 and the winner will be announced at The Home Depot College Football Awards Show on December 10 in Orlando, Fla.
Texas Tech begins fall camp Saturday and opens the 2009 season Sept. 5 at 6 p.m. against North Dakota at Jones AT&T Stadium. For ticket information, contact the Texas Tech Athletic Ticket Office at (806) 742-TECH or (888) GO-BIG-12 or purchase tickets on-line at www.texastech.com.

The Amarillo Sox hope their success at home gets packed along for their most significant road trip of the 2012 American Association season.
Amarillo, winner in 13 of its last 14 home games, opens a four-game series at 7:05 p.m. Friday against South Division-leader Grand Prairie at QuikTrip Park.
This is the first of 13 meetings scheduled this year between the Sox and the AirHogs.
Grand Prairie owns a 26-13 record and leads the South by five games over second place Amarillo (21-18).
Sox manager John Harris and Amarillo reliever Wes Littleton — a former Texas Rangers pitcher — said even though the Sox have 61 games remaining in their season, it's not too early to call this series crucial.
"This is big one for us," said Littleton, who had a four-pitch eighth inning Wednesday during the Sox 9-4 victory over Laredo. "Since they are first and we are second, hopefully, we can gain some ground on them."
The Sox will open the series Friday with 6-foot-4 lefty Chuck Lofgren starting on the mound. Lofgren is 1-3 with a 4.10 earned run average and has put in his work going 48 1/3 innings.
"Grand Prairie is about a lot of pitching and a lot of power-hitting lefties," Harris said. "Hopefully we can neutralize them. We can't worry about the standings this early in the season. But what we can do is get better at playing on the road."
The Sox offense features league-leading hitter Tim Alberts. The Amarillo outfielder is hitting .419, ranks third in home runs at eight and sits tied in second for runs batted in with 38.
Catcher Chris McMurray paces the AirHogs offense with a .378 average and eight home runs. "It would big for us to win the series," Littleton said. "Grand Prairie is a good team and hopefully we are up for the challenge."

T-Pain had some negative things to say about Future's use of auto-tune last year, and although he later praised the Honest rapper and producer's song-writing skills, it seems to be too late to make amends.
Future tells MTV News that there's a very slim chance he would ever work with T-Pain after the way things went down.
Last year Pain took to Instagram to call Future "the new T-Pain," adding in interviews that he didn't understand how to use auto-tune properly. Those jabs definitely didn't go unnoticed.
"I would've worked with him, easy, before he made those comments," Future told MTV News' Sway Calloway, "[But] when he took the jab at me I pretty much just lost all respect for him."
"Why Me?" he continued. "You could've talked to me off the record, or got in contact with me. Before I got in the game, he wasn't no one I looked up to, but he was someone that I loved his songs. He had the radio on lock. I came in the game on 'Tony Montana,' I came in on a song like I'm Sprung,' singing auto-tune. Then I did 'Turn on the Lights,' — that don't sound like no T-Pain."
And even after T-Pain tried to backtrack, it was already too late.
"I don't look at him the same no more, because you've gotta respect the man as a man," Future said. "You can't say something then try to take it back. I know how you really feel. You can't show your hand and try to hide it again.
"It ain't like I got into beef with him, I just wanna stay as far away from that situation as possible. "
Future's Honest album is in stores now. Stay tuned for more from our interview with the Atlanta rapper and producer.

You may have noticed that we're hardly perpetual rays of sunshine around here, but even so, we seem to spend a lot of our time enthusing about one gewgaw or another. Doubtblush exists to make it clear that we do not, in fact, like everything.
We think this Paint Print Shirt Dress ($315) is undeniably fugtacular, but seriously people, if it's a look you're into, we'll pay you that much to put on one of our ex-boyfriend's old dress shirts and paint our house for us. There's no justifying paying that much for something that literally looks like a smock from high school art class.
Agreed. You'd think they'd try to structure it better if they're using that pattern. Sheesh.
I think it'd be okay with a belt. And maybe a little longer. And maybe some better shoes (yuck). What a blase photo though, and how is it $315? At that price, definitely doubtblush.
nothing you can do to that would get me to $315.
I actually love this dress, and while over priced, I don't think it is doubtblush worthy! Belted, lets say a red or heather green belt, medium size with cute gold buckle and some wedges? Adorable!
But I wouldn't pay $315 for it. That I agree on.

The policy intention is to reduce the carrying of knives, and other weapons, by young people in particular, and their use in the commission of offences. The responses however, need to be proportionate to the fact that knife crime is an emerging issue in New Zealand.
The objectives of this proposal are to take a range of initiatives proportionate to the scale of the problem in New Zealand:
• to reduce and/or prevent the incidence of knife crime; and
• increase the public perception of safety and signal the seriousness of knife crime.

February 19, 2006
Hello again everyone! We just returned from yet another road trip! I feel like all we are doing these days is traveling, but luckily we are home for the next 3 weeks! Yay! We are currently right in the middle of our Pac-10 schedule, so we were at
We took that feeling into
We are now ranked 14th in the nation and 3rd in the Pac 10! We have now moved into the new RQS (regional qualifying score) system of averaging scores. The RQS is compiled of the 6 highest scores of the season, and at least 3 of those scores have to be from away meets. From those 6 scores the highest score is thrown out, and then the average is taken from the remaining 5. I know it sounds a little bit confusing, but once you get the hang of it, I promise it's not too hard.
We are finally home again this week versus UCLA. They are a great Pac-10 school and ranked 6th nationally, so it would be great to have your support this Friday, Feb. 24 at 7:30 pm. We'd love to see you there as well as the following two Fridays after that! Until next time, go GymCats!!!

The Flores case: 'HIV panic' killer sentenced to 10 years
Justice for Felipe Flores, a gay Ecuadorian man bashed to death in Sydney more than two decades ago, has been served after his killer was sentenced to 10 years in jail.
Last month, Tasmanian man Paul Darcey Armstrong was sentenced to a maximum of 13 years and three months, with a non-parole period of nine years and 11 months, for killing Flores, who had admitted he was HIV-positive during their sexual encounter.
The pair met at the Exchange Hotel on Oxford Street in September 1991. Shortly afterwards, they ventured to Lincoln Crescent, a notorious 'lovers lane' in Woolloomooloo and engaged in oral sex.
The NSW Supreme Court heard that soon after the act, Flores revealed he was HIV-positive, which sent Armstrong into a rage and attacked Flores.
Armstrong had previously told the court that in 1991, he was petrified of becoming HIV-positive.
"I thought it was a death sentence," Armstrong said. "I had so many thoughts going through my mind – how long would I have, would I be walking around like a human skeleton?"
Flores injuries were extensive, including a ruptured liver and spleen, broken ribs and serious facial and head injuries. His body was found by a security guard later that night, dumped in the bushes.
Armstrong had previously been a person of interest for the crime, but when initially questioned by police he maintained his innocence and suggested Flores was the victim of a gay bashing.
At the time, a spate of homophobic attacks was sweeping throughout Sydney.
But in 2008 detectives from the Unsolved Homicide Unit were able to link Armstrong's DNA to blood found under Flores' fingernails and Armstrong was eventually convicted of murder.
However, the Court of Criminal Appeal overturned the conviction last year and Armstrong's sentence was quashed and a retrial ordered.
Armstrong eventually pleaded guilty to manslaughter in April earlier this year. But he sighted provocation as a defence, saying Flores' confession of his HIV status had provoked the attack.
While Justice Christine Adamson found provocation to play a part in the events that took place that night, she suggested Armstrong's own reckless behaviour contributed to the incident.
"Although infection by the HIV virus was potentially fatal, it was a risk that Mr Armstrong was clearly willing to take, given his cavalier attitude to sex," Adamson said. "His acts after the assault were clearheaded and callous."
Despite some concerns about the use of partial defence of provocation – in essence, the HIV panic defence – observers say the case should be viewed in the context of when it occurred.
"It would appear that the sentence delivered by Justice Adamson is appropriate," said ACON CEO Nicolas Parkhill.
"I note that while the Crown took into account the impact HIV was having on the community in the early 1990s, ultimately the defence of provocation based on fear of HIV transmission was not taken seriously.
"Given that these days the health implications of HIV are much less concerning, we would expect that any similar legal defence based on a contemporary fear of HIV transmission would not even be considered by the courts.
"We're currently liaising with the relevant legal authorities to determine if this is indeed the case."

SallyIt is not justice. Armstrong, a convicted rapist and murderer, who his ex says boasted about killing and threatened her, had his conviction for murder overturned, on the basis he thought the victim was HIV.
The victim had a foot impression in his face, the killer says he took off his shoe, belted the victim, and stomped on his body.
Anyone with HIV should be worried about the HIV panic defence being allowed. It lessons the value of your life, and can set you up to be a victim. If someone murders you, they should be held to justice, not have a conviction quashed, and a manslaughter charge offered.
It will be interesting if the new evangelical premiere passes legislation to protect you, or allows this fundamental ridiculous defence of HIV panic, to continue.
BillI am really curious why ACON would be crazed enough to think justice was done.
As the super adds tell us, compare the pair.
Convicted rapist Andrew Baily kills and has sex, he gets over 20 years. But Armstrong, gets done for murder, and has it overturned on appeal, arguing a provocation. He then gets offered manslaughter, and can be out in a decade. I would yell out I am HIV if I was getting raped. I would yell anything true or nit if I thought it could help. But we cannot ask the victim of Armstrong, his body was to broken by him, and he cannot talk from the grave.
IT was never a defence that would stand the community test, to say someone was HIV, and so you lost your mind and smashed them to bits. The original conviction of murder, should have stayed. An offer if manslaughter was far to sweet.
This was a man, at a beat, having been to a gay bar, not some religious nut who was freaked.
We should all be really concerned. There are over 80 deaths at beats over those years, it looks like manslaughter is the new offer for killing a gay man, and not bloody murder!
Exactly what is the LNP Premiere going to do about this shocking discrimination, in itself, a hate crime?

ForeSee: Amazon Tops In E-Commerce Satisfaction While Penney Stumbles
Thursday December 27th, 2012 - 2:55PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Amazon.com topped the ForeSee Holiday E-Retail Satisfaction Index, a ranking of 100 top Internet stores. The market research firm, which reviews customer experience analytics, noted that aggregate customer satisfaction remained the same year over year, scoring 78 on a 100-point scale.
ForeSee expanded that Index from the 40 retailers listed last year. Among returning companies in the eighth annual report— based on what the company said were more than 24,000 customer surveys conducted between Thanksgiving and Christmas— JCPenney.com suffered the biggest year-over-year decline, with a six-point slide, ForeSee related, to 78. Apple's online store slid four points to 80, its lowest score in four years, ForeSee noted. Apple slipped from a tie for second place and out of the top five entirely, registering its lowest score in four years.
Amazon.com scored an 88 in the index. Rounding out the top five slots were LLBean.com, at 85, QVC.com and Vitacost.com, at 84 and Esteelauder.com and Vistaprint.com at 83, and 1800Contacts.com, Keurig.com and Scholastic.com at 82. LLBean.com and QVC.com gained four and one point respectively. Vitacost.com and Esteelauder.com were new to the index, as was Keurig.com. HSN.com gained five percentage points to 81, putting it in the number six slot with Avon.com, Cabellas.com and Newegg.com. With a score of 80, up one, Kohl.com was the top broadliner in the index, tied with Walgreens.com and the online Apple store. Target gained three points and Williams-Sonoma slipped one to land at 79 along with Nordstrom.com and the Barnes & Noble web address.
JCPenney.com fell to the aggregate average 78, where it joined the company of Costco.com, HomeDepot.com, OfficeDepot.com, Walmart.com and new TJX property SierraTradingPost.com. BestBuy.com ranked just below the average at 77 along with Macys.com, NeimanMarcus.com, OfficeMax.com and Staples.com
"This year, we're seeing that even some of the largest companies in the country are at risk if they lose sight of customer satisfaction," said Larry Freed, ForeSee president and CEO. "Satisfaction with the customer experience, when measured correctly, is the most important predictor of future success, and while Amazon clearly gets it, Apple stumbles from their usual focus on the customer experience."

It goes like this. Intrepid investigative bros notice that Rihanna, who is 24, acts like someone who is 24, and they shout "You're not a role model!" Rihanna, noticing that someone has pointed out she is not a role model, agrees: "I'm not a role model!" They concur: YOU'RE NOT A ROLE MODEL! And so does Rihanna: I'M NOT A FUCKING ROLE MODEL! And so it goes, until there's a steady rhythm to it, almost like a beat, maybe like the beat to a Jason Derulo song: ROLE MODEL! NOT A ROLE MODEL! ROLE MODEL! NOT A ROLE MODEL! MARCO! REPETE!
This is not new. It's essentially the same reaction that Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera received. Rihanna, in this analogy, isn't Britney Spears, because she's neither choosing nor being "subtly encouraged" to act like a valedictorian, pageant winner, Southern belle and collectible Swarovski crystal angel at once. She's more like Xtina circa Stripped, except Rihanna's career since Good Girl Gone Bad is kind of what you'd get if you stretched every single from Stripped into an album. (OK, that if she replaced "Beautiful" and "The Voice Within" with "Still Dirrty" and then just "Dirrty" again.) This is neither new or surprising. Every step along the primrose path makes perfect sense–including, sadly, the step where the major bit of fallout from her Chris Brown collaborations is everyone talking about Rihanna is once again not a role model. It's the same story as with "S&M," except with the extra complicating factor of few people simultaneously questioning Brown's role-model credentials. (Some people have questioned teens choosing him as a role model, but that's not quite the same.)
But yes–the two lasting effects of "Birthday Cake" and "Turn Up the Music" seem to be chart success and an uptick in Rihanna role-model comments. Hooray! Sigh. Instead of doing a separate post for each instance, we'll just do a roundup.
Will Young: Young, a winner of Pop Idol (the British precursor to American Idol) and maker of puppy videos, talked to Yahoo with words as strong as the headlines:
"I don't think Rihanna is a massively great role model for women, her lyrics aren't empowering. She's a brilliant pop star and recording artist but her lyrics are not empowering – young girls have to listen to those lyrics.
Before we go further, it's perfectly OK to have personal issues with Rihanna's lyrics, or issues with your children hearing Rihanna's music, or any of that. But the thing is, Young's alternatives fall into awfully familiar patterns. There's Adele, because there's always Adele; comparing others unfavorably to her is beyond cliche at this point. (When "S&M" received its outcry, one of the major detractors was Richard Russell of Adele's label XL.) There's Lady Gaga, who doesn't make much sense as an alternative to dressing skimpily or not singing about sex. (Example lyrics, one for every album: "Let's have some fun, this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick," "take a bite of my bad-girl meat," "I want your whiskey mouth all over my blonde south.") Then there are Grace Jones, M.I.A. and Annie Lennox, all fantastic musicians but also non-sequiturs after two mainstream pop artists. It sort of stops being about Rihanna, you know? If you're criticizing sexualized music, you really can't single her out.
Annie Lennox: Speaking of Annie Lennox. She also had words about sexualized music, but only in general terms. Then she had words about Rihanna–specifically, all the headlines lately about Annie Lennox saying Rihanna should speak out against domestic violence, or urging her to do so, in The Telegraph.
As it turns out, it wasn't quite like that. First, the interview is with The Guardian, not The Telegraph. And Lennox's stance is significantly more tempered than those headlines suggest, closer to "could" than "should," and a lot less sensationalistic:
"Here is a young woman who has been through domestic violence and she could become a tremendous spokesperson for that issue but the choice is hers. It's not up to anybody else to do that. Of course if she did choose to do that it would be so fucking powerful but it's her personal right to choose it or not. We all have our issues and we have to deal with them in our own way.
Essentially. And Rihanna's been quite clear about how she feels about being a role model. She knows she's not one. Talk That Talk is essentially a huge campaign for her not being one. And it'll probably be less than a month before Rihanna reiterates this. Until then.

Customer satisfaction is a top priority with Turkish Airlines.
With this in mind, the airline is continuing to rapidly implement 'customer-oriented life' and 'human relations management' among its many other efforts. Turkish Airlines' concept of customer-oriented service is reflected in the thought - provoking and whimsical designs of celebrated cartoonist Salih Memecan, whose posters symbolizing its concept of service have been on display at the airline offices and the country's airports since 9 April. Airline President Temel Kotil had this to say about its efforts aimed at making the concept of customer orientation a reality: "Consolidating our place in the world aviation sector and surpassing expectations in the services we offer are only possible with the support and success of our personnel. We believe that each and every one of you is going to work hard to meet our goal of becoming number one in service quality. I am pleased to say that we are going to pursue these efforts, which will take us into the future."

Daniel Sedin scored with 2:25 remaining in regulation and Sami Salo added a power play goal at 2:33 of overtime, leading the Vancouver Canucks to a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the visiting Detroit Red Wings.
Curtis Sanford, starting in the Vancouver crease in place of the injured Roberto Luongo, stopped 32 of the 34 shots he faced.
Salo fired a one-timer from the left faceoff circle past Detroit netminder Chris Osgood to give the Canucks the win while Johan Franzen was in the penalty box for interference.
Sedin's goal came just 1:10 after the Red Wings had taken a 2-1 lead. He deflected a shot by Salo out of mid-air and off the ice, bouncing it past Osgood.
Pavel Datsyuk had scored a power play goal with 3:35 remaining, snapping a shot from the right circle past Sanford on a Red Wings power play.
Mikael Samuelsson scored the game's opening goal 9:22 into the first period. Andreas Lilja fed Samuelsson to spring him into the Vancouver zone where he lifted a backhander over Sanford's shoulder.
Taylor Pyatt scored Vancouver's first goal at 2:27 of the second period, stripping the puck from Jiri Hudler in the Red Wings' zone and beating Osgood from the slot.
Osgood made 21 saves on 24 shots.
Both teams went one-for-three on the power play.
The loss ends the Red Wings' Western Canada road trip, on which they earned five of a possible six points. They now return to Joe Louis Arena to face the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night.
It blows that we can't pull up another offensive powerhouse for the time being. I'd love to see Helm or Abdelkadder out there right now.
I was all set to complain about the Wings being outplayed early and then Sammy goes and puts one in over Sanford's shoulder. Feel a little better now.
Holy lord; great saves by Osgood!
If it wasn't for him tonight man, I dunno what I'd be thinking.
And, I kinda hate to admit it, but I think I'm a closet Sedin Twins fan :'D
Wings looked absolutely awful for the final few minutes of the period there, that insane save by Osgood shouldn't have been neccessary. Glad to see that he's on his game, though.

Have you tried to flash your drive?
PLEASE! I need some help my xbox 360 middle light keeps blinking green and its nothing to do with the magnets or anything or the drive connection because i have replaced the sata and power cables twice to no result and also the dvd drive ejects once the xbox is turned on and before it turns off and it does not stay in long enough for a disk to be read PLEASE SOME ONE HELP!
Have you tried to flash your drive?
and did you happen to do the open tray trick to flash it?
yes when i first tried to flash it my self i powered the dvd drive (liteon 93450c) using the xbox open tray trick i kept pulling out the power from the dvd drive to keep the tray half open now it just ejects its self once turned on or off.
What method did you use to flash your drive? MRA? Check your trace cuts etc
someone else flashed my drive so i dunnoOriginally Posted by Slick
yesOriginally Posted by Tim Scott
Is it my xbox 360 or my liteon drive that is causing the problem as i cannot see any problems with the xbox 360 motherboard no fuses have burnt I really dont know what is wrong or is it because i failed on the open tray trick whilst using my 360 as the power source? SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN MORE PLEASE
It's probably your drive. Like Slick said, check your trace cuts for continuity with a multimeter. Also make sure your power and SATA cable are plugged in properly. It might also be a bad flash, so if none of the above solutions work, try flashing again.
what i have recently found out after some tests is that it is not the dvd drive because i tested another dvd drive in the xbox 360 and the light was still blinking and the tray was still ejecting so im almost certain that it is the xbox itself(motherboard) but im lost on what to do now.Originally Posted by jaws95678

Hearing History: Musical Borrowing in the Percussion Ensemble Works, Duo Chopinesque and Chameleon Music
Date: December 1999
Creator: Fulton, Stephen L.
Description: Duo Chopinesque by Michael Hennagin and Chameleon Music by Dan Welcher represent two of the most significant percussion ensemble compositions written in the last twenty years. Both works are written for the mostly mallet type of percussion ensemble wherein the keyboard instruments predominate. However, the most unique aspect of these two pieces is their use of musical quotation. Duo Chopinesque borrows Chopin's Prelude in E minor in its entirety, while Chameleon Music borrows portions from four Mozart Sonatas. This paper places each work within the history of the percussion ensemble, and in the larger history of musical quotation in the twentieth century. In addition, the compositional characteristics of both works are examined with particular emphasis on each composer's use of borrowed material from the music of Mozart and Chopin. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between quoted material and newly composed rhythmic motives.

A Study of Franz Liszt's Concepts of Changing Tonality as Exemplified in Selected "Mephisto" Works
Date: December 1999
Creator: Kim, Jung-Ah
Description: The purpose of this study is to analyze four late solo piano works of Franz Liszt that all bear the name "Mephisto" in their titles, in order to examine, identify and trace the development in the use of harmonic and melodic idioms that produced non-tonal or "omnitonic" effects, on the one hand, and to emphasize the need to duly accord Liszt a recognition of historical position as the nineteenth century's most influential avant garde composer whose attitude and approach had helped to shape much of the ideal of the atonal composition of this century, on the other. Chapter One presents the issues and the purpose of this study; Chapter Two investigates the principal forces that shaped Liszt's mature compositional style; Chapter Three identifies and discusses the requisites for tonal and atonal compositions; Chapter Four analyzes the four "Mephisto" dances: Waltz no.1 (1860); Polka (1883); Waltz no.3 (1883); and Bagatelle (1885). Chapter Five summarizes the findings from this study and attempts to identify in these late works of Liszt a pattern of conscientious, continuous, purposeful and progressive use of devices toward creating musical effect that would defy the established tonal requisites and undermine the tonal orientation in the composition.

Symmetrical Features of Nikolai Medtner's Language: The Grzovaya Sonata, Opus 53 No. 2
Date: December 1999
Creator: Pitts, James L.
Description: Nikolai Medtner's works evidence an intense interest in symmetrical designs. This concern is manifest at all levels, from the large scale proportions of his numerous ingenious sonata forms to the symmetrically constructed themes and motives. Medtner's works include several instances of palindromic themes and periods. Some palindromic contours are achieved through immediate inversion, creating expansive, symmetrical waves. One of Medtner's thumbprints, symmetrical contrary voice-leading, consists of two or more voices which systematically expand or contract in exact mirror fashion. The contrary movement is usually stepwise, and may be either chromatic or diatonic. Occasionally even larger intervals, such as thirds and fourths, are subjected to this favourite mirroring technique. Such symmetrical expansion and contraction often controls the harmonic progression of several consecutive bars. One of the most striking aspects of Medtner's music is his sophisticated harmonic language. He was fascinated with symmetrical harmonic designs, such as the tritone, the French sixth chord, and the octatonic scale, and made endless and increasingly intricate explorations into these stuctures and the ways in which these apparently nontonal, non-hierarchical forms could be coordinated with the fundamental hierarchy of asymmetrical tonal forms, including triads, major and minor scales, and tonic-dominant relations. Medtner's late work, the Grozovaya ...

An Examination of David Maslanka's Marimba Concerti: Arcadia II for Marimba and Percussion Ensemble and Concerto for Marimba and Band, A Lecture Recital, Together With Three Recitals of Selected Works of K.Abe, M. Burritt, J. Serry, and Others
Date: December 1999
Creator: Varner, Michael L.
Description: Although David Maslanka is not a percussionist, his writing for marimba shows a solid appreciation of the idiomatic possibilities developed by recent innovations for the instrument. The marimba is included in at least eighteen of his major compositions, and in most of those it is featured prominently. Both Arcadia II: Concerto for Marimba and Percussion Ensemble and Concerto for Marimba and Band display the techniques and influences that have become characteristic of his compositional style. However, they express radically different approaches to composition due primarily to Maslanka's growth as a composer. Maslanka's traditional musical training, the clear influence of diverse composers, and his sensitivity to extra-musical influences such as geographic location have resulted in a very distinct musical style. His exemplary attention to detail and sound timbres give his works an individualized stamp. The evolution of motivic gestures is the most distinctive characteristic of Maslanka's compositional process. Maslanka freely incorporates forms and structural principles of the baroque and classical periods, but these principles are not applied in a strict sense. These factors combine to produce two works that are both unique and significant in the literature for marimba. They exhibit a sensitivity to sound timbres while maintaining a mature approach ...

Reconstructions: Nine Movements for Solo Soprano, Chorus, and Wind Ensemble
Date: December 1999
Creator: Makela, Steven L.
Description: Reconstructions is a nine-movement composition for solo soprano, chorus, and wind ensemble using texts from several of Emily Dickinson's poems. The soloist represents the main character in this dramatic work, and the narrative structure portrays abstract moments in this character's life. While the narrative structure of the reconstructed fragments is important to the form of the composition, other elements are also significant. Pitch structures generated from set theoretical systems, in addition to cyclic and palindromic structures are utilized throughout. Timbre also delineates the form, as various combinations of instruments and chorus create an evolving environment in which the soloist resides.

An Analytical Study of the Variations on the Theme of Paganini's Twenty-Fourth Caprice, Op. 1 by Busoni, Friedman, and Muczynski
Date: May 2000
Creator: Ahn, Kwang Sun
Description: The purpose of this study is to analyze sets of variations on Paganini's theme by three twentieth-century composers: Ferruccio Busoni, Ignaz Friedman, and Robert Muczynski, in order to examine, identify, and trace different variation techniques and their applications. Chapter 1 presents the purpose and scope of this study. Chapter 2 provides background information on the musical form "theme and variations" and the theme of Paganini's Twenty-fourth Caprice, Op. 1. Chapter 2 also deals with the question of which elements have made this theme so popular. Chapters 3,4, and 5 examine each of the three sets of variations in detail using the following format: theme, structure of each variation, harmony and key, rhythm and meter, tempo and dynamics, motivic development, grouping of variations, and technical problems. Chapter 6 summarizes the findings from this study and attempts to compare those elements among the three variations. Special attention is given to the application of the motivic cells, which are drawn from the original Paganini theme, in the development of succeeding variations. This study shows how these motivic cells contribute to the construction of new motives and melodies in each variation. Additionally, this study attempts to examine each composer's efforts in expanding variation procedure ...

Gunther Schuller and John Swallow: Collaboration, Composition, and Performance Practice in Eine Kleine Posaunenmusik, with Three Recitals of Selected Works by Berio, Bogle, Gregson, Pryor, Suderburg and Others
Date: May 2000
Creator: Bogle, James Michael
Description: Gunther Schuller is credited with coining the term Third Stream, meaning compositions where twentieth-century art music forms exist simultaneously with jazz. Furthermore, Schuller specifically states in the liner notes to the debut recording of Eine Kleine Posaunenmusik "The work is not a Third Stream piece." Yet the concerto alludes to jazz through a multitude of slide glissandi and plunger mute effects, Solotone mute passages, specific references to the jazz trombone styles of Tommy Dorsey and Lawrence Brown, musical quoting or indirect reference, and the use of a walking bass line in Movement V, Finale. What makes one piece Third Stream and another simply a modern composition with jazz implications? Is Third Stream primarily a compositional designation or a performance practice stipulation? How does a celebrated trombone soloist inspire and collaborate with a distinguished composer in the creation of a major work? The somewhat conspicuous title, Eine Kleine Posaunenmusik, seems to point towards Mozart's famous string serenade Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. What connection to Mozart, if any, does Schuller's title suggest? All of these questions are elucidated in this study through careful investigation and research of Gunther Schuller's Eine Kleine Posaunenmusik. New interviews with John Swallow and Gunther Schuller are included.

Young-Jo Lee's Variations on the theme of Baugogae: In search of his own language, a lecture recital, together with three recitals of selected works of J. Haydn, S. Rachmaninoff, R. Schumann, O. Messiaen, and F. Liszt
Date: May 2000
Creator: Kwon, Suk-Rahn
Description: The objective of the dissertation is to examine Young-Jo Lee's (b. 1943) musical language as exhibited in his piano composition, Variations on the theme of Baugogae. Subjects of discussion include Lee's use of direct and indirect musical borrowings from past European composers and traditional Korean folk idioms. Also included are a biographical sketch of the composer and historical overview of modern Korean composers. This dissertation investigates Lee's effort to synthesize traditional Korean music and Western music in one art form and ultimately, to create his own musical language.

New Resources in Twentieth-Century Piano Music and Richard Wilson's Eclogue (1974)
Date: August 2000
Creator: Lan, Ping-Ting
Description: This dissertation draws some of the innovative composers from the early 1900's to the 1960's into the spotlight to highlight their new musical and pianistic ideas. These composers, including Debussy, Schoenberg, Webern, Bartók, Cowell and others, brought new creative forces into piano music, generating many distinctive features of modern music. The discussion of new resources in harmonic language, timbre, texture, form and concept of time has a direct bearing on aspects of Richard Wilson's Eclogue itself as well as aspects of performance problems. American Composer, Richard Wilson, has written three substantial piano solo works, Eclogue, Fixations, and Intercalations. Eclogue, from 1974, is a one-movement work. The detailed analysis of Eclogue covers aspects of form, harmonic language, timbre and texture, and rhythm and time. In addition, essential issues of performance problems such as notation, rhythmic control, extended techniques, hands distribution, and pedaling are also discussed.

Light From Behind the Iron Curtain: Anti-Collectivist Style in Edison Denisov's Quatre Pièces pour flûte et piano, With Three Recitals of Selected Works by Bach, Beaser, Carter, Fauré, Martin, Ibert, Liebermann, and Others
Date: August 2000
Creator: Luce, Brian Arzy
Description: An examination of the compositional style illustrative of the anti-collectivist ideology as found in Edison Denisov's Quatre Pièces pour flûte et piano. Includes a short history of Denisov's formal training, history of the Soviet musical environment, an overview of his creative output, and discussion of the anti-collectivist characteristics in his works. Defines the anti-collectivist doctrine as individual reaction to the totalitarian collective of the Soviet communist state of the twentieth century. Identification of eclectic compositional techniques, and how they represent individual expression under a totalitarian regime. Listing of Denisov's works with the flute in a primary role, interviews with Aurèle Nicolet and Ekaterina Denisov, correspondence from Denisov to Nicolet, and the manuscript score to Quatre Pièces pour flûte et piano follow as appendices.

Students Return to Perform, Commitment to Theatre Group Undiminished
January 4, 2013
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
This winter break, alumni of high-school-focused arts group Grab Bag Theater returned to put on an affiliated production and to foster their connection with the next generation of members.
For the group's first alumni show, the actors chose to perform a one-act, Far Away by Caryl Churchill. Far Away tells the story of Joan over three scenes: her as a child at her aunt's witnessing a terrible secret, working in a hat factory, and during the height of an almost incomprehensible war in which everything from the bees to the rivers have been recruited.
Margaret Ringler stage-managed Far Away. The actors were Dana Rust, Zachary Abt, Hannah Rosenfeld (who also directed), and Claire Jungleib. All M-A graduates, these students are now freshmen or sophomores in college.
The impetus for the show was to "bring our experiences in college back to the Grab Bag community," explained Ms. Rosenfeld.
Even in college, the community of Grab Bag and theatre in general remain important for these students. Though Ms. Jungleib is the only one of the five attending a theatre-specific program, all find theatre influences their lives.
"I'm most excited to show the Grab Bag Community that your ties don't have to end once you become an Alumni," said Ms. Jungleib. "I want to show the new members what they should be excited for about Grab Bag, and how it has impacted me, giving me close friends, amazing opportunities, and a network of people who are just as passionate about the arts as I am."
Rehearsals ran for just two weeks, including one day dedicated to picking a show and another to converting the office used as a performance space into a suitable stage. The two performances, at 2 and 7:30 on Wednesday, were successful at raising money for the non-profit, which will go towards financing their spring musical and other future events.
Grab Bag Theatre is a student-run organization dedicated to the arts, including visual and performing. for more information, see http://

Dortmund Head Coach Jurgen Klopp has revealed that the club will do all it can to bring in Serie A top scorer Ciro Immobile.
In an interview with Tuttosport Klopp stated, "The forwards that I want cost more but they are also the best in circulation," and that "We are willing to do everything to bring Immobile to us."
It should be noted that Immobile has the ambition and desire to play for a team that participates in the Champions League.

On Wednesday, Dave Gaubatz, a former Air Force investigator and author of "Muslim Mafia," told Examiner.com that he "infiltrated" a Muslim conference held in Detroit earlier this month. While at the conference, he reportedly spoke to a representative of a group known as Muslim Advocates, who said the organization is working "closely" with social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to close down accounts of users critical of Islam.
"They are asking these groups to close the accounts of anyone who is critical of Islam," he said. "This is considered serious hate speech and should not be allowed on the Internet."
According to Gaubatz, the representative also said that "anyone critical of Islam and sharia law are haters." Ditto for those who oppose either the construction or expansion of a mosque in the United States.
"We are experts with deep experience in the courtroom and powerful connections in Congress and the White House," Gaubatz recalled being told by the Muslim Advocates representative.
"This should be of no surprise to anyone," Gaubatz said.
Gaubatz also said the conference, which was attended by representatives and leaders from several groups, should have been named the "U.S. Constitution and the 1st Amendment are for MB terrorists and not for American Patriots." For four days, he said, he stayed at the same hotel as leaders from over a dozen groups that support the Muslim Brotherhood.
He reportedly met and spoke with executives from the Islamic Society of North America and the North American Islamic Trust.
"I was informed that NAIT owned several hundred million dollars of property in America, and has the funding from 400 plus Islamic Centers in America," he added.
But Gaubatz' report of collusion between these groups and social media sites like Facebook and Twitter present a clear danger to the fundamental right of free speech and Americans' ability to freely express themselves online. As we have reported multiple times, Muslim activists have called for global blasphemy bans and an end to free speech in the United States, despite the clear language of the First Amendment.
Last Wednesday, we reported that one page critical of Islam -- "Islam Exposed" -- was yanked by Facebook after administrators received death threats. Facebook later restored the page, saying it was yanked in error.
On Wednesday, a post at the page advising visitors to avoid hateful speech was removed by Facebook for allegedly violating the site's community standards. Facebook did not explain why the post was pulled and one administrator received a 30-day ban.
But as we have reported, Facebook routinely turns a blind eye to threats from users with Muslim-sounding names. Last August, for example, Facebook told a conservative female they could not confirm direct threats she received violated their community standards. One threat reported to Facebook was quite specific: "We will kill you."
Ironically, Facebook has said it supports free speech and reviews all complaints equally.
We contacted both Facebook and Muslim Advocates to verify Gaubatz' claim and received no reply as of this writing.
Update: A few hours after this article was published, Facebook falsely flagged the link as "unsafe" in what appears to be a bid to keep it from being circulated. We have reached out to Facebook, but have not received a response.
Update #2: Muslim Advocates spokesperson Fatima Khan responded with an email claiming we misquoted their representative, even though we did not. The statement relayed to us was Gaubatz's recollection, not a direct quote from MA or any of their representatives. We specifically asked Khan about the quote, and about allegations the group is working to shut down social media accounts of those critical of Islam. Khan never responded. The article was flagged by Facebook after our contact with Khan. More on the incident can be seen here.

The Greater Houston Linux Users is having its monthly meeting on May 3rd.
The Linux 101 meeting is for anyone who is getting started with Linux, or thinking about starting to use Linux.
Switching to Linux requires a bit of relearning, just as switching from Windows XP to Windows 7 requires some relearning. But once you get started, Linux is easier to use than Windows. If you think you have to compile software yourself or learn to use the command line, then you haven't seen Linux in the last few years.
Discussions are directed by the questions of the participants, and typically include:
- How to get started with Linux
- Which distributions are best for beginners
- Installing Linux while still keeping Windows available
- How to install software (it's easier than Windows!)
- How to get support
More information can be found at the meet up website.
Hope to see you there

College Hockey:Weekend recap: Three observations
Here are three observations from this past weekend:
Wisconsin's Kerdiles, Zulinick cannot suit up soon enough
No disrespect to Minnesota State intended, but the fact that the Mavericks marched into Madison and left with a league road sweep shows how far the Badgers have fallen while missing three of its better offensive players. Top-tier freshman talents Nic Kerdiles (NCAA suspension) and Morgan Zulinick (thigh) will likely play at Denver this coming weekend but proven junior center Mark Zengerle (broken finger) will remain out.
Their return cannot be soon enough even if expectations of freshmen must be lower. Wisconsin coach Mike Eaves sounded like the coach of a last-place team (currently Alaska-Anchorage) after Saturday's loss.
"Stay with us," Eaves told the Wisconsin State Journal after his club fell to 1-5-2 in the WCHA and 0-4 at home. "This group has not quit. They work hard and we'll get healthier and we'll have some difference-makers in our lineup."
True, but it remains to be seen if they will be enough.
Minnesota-Duluth comes back to earth
Just when things were looking up, host Minnesota-Duluth (3-7-2, 1-5-2 WCHA) was drubbed 5-1 by St. Cloud State in their most lopsided loss of the season a day after their first league win.
"We didn't get off to a good start; we weren't able to match (St. Cloud State's) intensity," UMD captain Cody Danberg told the Duluth News-Tribune. "Collectively, we struggled in a lot of areas. That shouldn't happen in our rink."
Indeed. That kind of inconsistency will continue to trouble UMD until the team figures out they need to play hard for 60 minutes.
North Dakota's Saunders in position to enjoy special season
It is clear that North Dakota junior goalie Clarke Saunders is on the verge of a memorable year.
Saunders stopped 35 of 36 shots Friday against well-regarded Notre Dame to improve his save percentage to a WCHA-best .934, a 2.09 goals against average (third in the league) with a 4-2-2 mark, including two shutouts.
Saunders, who was an iron man for undermanned Alabama-Huntsville the previous two seasons, could be fresh for the first time late in the season with Zane Gothberg (.902 saves, 2.97 goals against, 2-2-0) spelling him periodically. That bodes very well for North Dakota's MacNaughton Cup hopes, especially if UND enjoys its usual second-half surge.

text: Measuring Impact, Report of the Impact Measurement Working Group, Social Impact Investing Task Force established by the G8 Professor Ebrahim serves on the working group. Measuring Impact was developed by the Impact Measurement Working Group (IMWG) of the Social Impact Investment Taskforce established under the UK's presidency of the G8. The combined work elevates existing best practices and aligns with the European Standard for Social Impact Measurement (developed by GECES). The IMWG was established in June 2013 at the G8 Social Impact Investment Forum in London to develop measurement guidelines for impact investors, as well as a vision for impact measurement in the years ahead. The IMWG is comprised of 29 thought leaders in impact investing and measurement—including private investors, foundations, academics, nonprofits, and intermediaries—representing diverse sectors and geographies. It was co-chaired by the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) and New Philanthropy Capital (NPC). The full Measuring Impact report and the accompanying case studies were launched in September 2014. More information about the Social Impact Investment Taskforce and the full Taskforce report, Impact Investment: The Invisible Heart of Markets, can be found on the resource page or on the Taskforce website:www.socialimpactinvestment.org.

This handcrafted box cleverly positions the tissues to come out the backside to look like a cotton tail. It'll definitely put a smile on your face...even if that face is covered in snot.
