The server that runs the Xvnc sessions runs the "main server". The "main server" is a small program that just acts as a traffic controller or broker, that could either be always running (like sendmail) or from inetd (like ftp, telnet, etc....). Most of the renovation would need to be in the client code, and then just an added function/module to perform the upfront communication and authentication to get the remote "main server" to start a Xvnc session, and then it could easily revert to its current mode of operation. The use of this additional function/module could be controlled by a command line / dialogue option. > Yes, I think it does. What about all the options that vncserver can > take?

For all of the ~/.vnc files and customization, I see them as customized once, and then Xvnc is run using these setting mutliple times. Basically setup your configuration a head of time, and then every time you want to run Xvnc, you don't have to telnet in and start it up. Telneting in would just be for setup/tweaking the vnc setup. Of course this all just and idea, and as I said, there are probably still problems with it. Of course, this could all be alleviated by telnetting in once and starting Xvnc, and then never shutting it down. Then from day to day, as your client (windows probably) is rebooted, left for the night, etc... the Xvnc session remains running on the server, ready for your viewer to view it from where ever. That is of course until the server is rebooted, and you sysadmin doesn't mind you tying up the resources to run Xvnc, a window manager, and any apps you have running. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." | | --- Philippians 1:21 (KJV) | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ryan Kirkpatrick | Boulder, Colorado | rkirkpat "at" nag.cs.colorado.edu | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | http://www-ugrad.cs.colorado.edu/~rkirkpat/ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would be interested to explore how a Calvinist who is not a supralapsarian would maintain their perspective of the Lamb's Book of Life being completed by God unconditionally before the foundation of the world.
The Particular Baptists, as Calvinists historically seem to do, slipped the other direction into so called "hyper-Calvinism." What that means, essentially, is an overemphasis on the sovereignty of God to the point of the loss of human freedom, and an eventual loss of any missionary motivation.
While the connection of creation and redemption can be made, and God's sovereignty as creator is clear, it is extremely difficult to see divine unconditional election being taught in this verse. There is nothing in this opening verse that would even remotely suggest that God chose some individuals to receive salvation while others would be left hopelessly lost.
Are the doctrines of the Calvinist theological system the true doctrines of the Bible and all other beliefs false? Is belief in Calvinism the test for one's love of God? Would the Apostle John consider his, and the other Apostles', teachings to be the clear foundation for the five points of Calvinism? The answer to these questions, in this writer's opinion, is a resounding no! But yet some would answer with a resounding yes.
I am continually frustrated that Christians, even pastors and theologians, seem to have an overwhelming inability to discern the times. The Christian world is continually making false assumptions about reality, then making decisions based upon those assumptions. A continued downward spiral is the only result.

For those wrestling fans headed to Knoxville, make sure to check out NWA Smoky Mountain on Saturday night.
From reports:
NWA Smoky Mountain Wrestling returns to Kingsport, TN on Saturday, January 4 for House Party 2014 at the Civic Auditorium. Doors open at 7:15 PM and Bell time is at 8:00 PM!
This event will be headlined by two NWA World Title Matches!
The Main Event of the evening will feature the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion, Chase Owens facing off with his former mentor, Ricky Morton in a Grudge Match! On May 18, Owens joined the Illuminati and turned his back on Morton, costing him his shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Title against Rob Conway. Since that day, the refocused Chase Owens has been on a roll. He recently regained his NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title in Houston, TX. However, Owens' momentum doesn't worry Morton. He is out for revenge and may be the one man that can stop the Real Deal in his tracks.
Also, for the first time in Kingsport, the NWA World Women's Title will be the line as the champion Kacee Carlisle defends against Jessie Belle Smothers. Jessie is the daughter of Smoky Mountain Wrestling Legend Tracy Smothers. She is coming to her father's old stomping grounds with a chance to win the most prestigious championship in Women's Wrestling. But that will be no easy task. Carlisle has been champion for more than 400 days, since defeating Tasha Simone on October 20, 2012. On January 4 she makes her way to Kingsport!

Reviews for Hot Italian Sausage Soup
"I also added pasta and it was very good! Will be sure to keep this recipe."
"I've been making this soup since it was first printed! I also tweeked it a bit..I had a small can of V-8 to make it more juicy. I add cooked acini de pepi pasta at serving time. Fast and fantastic. Thanks, Dan!"
"I, too added twice as much tomato sauce, added cookes small ditai whole wheat pasta and doubled the recipe. Very satisfying---tasted like it cooked all day!! A definite keeper!!ToniGommy of 5 (and "pending")"
"I used mild sausage, in place of hot sausage, and it turned out just the same. I also pretty much made my own tomato sauce, while cooking the vegetables, since I was out of store-bought sauce. I added parmesan cheese, white sugar, olive oil, and salt to a 100+ ounce can (I tripled the recipe) of tomato juice and whole tomatoes, which I chopped up. It was a good dish, judging based on my family members? complaints that they ate too much for dinner. NOTE: "julienned" peppers are pretty much just sliced up peppers (in case anyone was wondering, like I was ;)."

Over the last decade a lot of trucks have put on weight. Today many tractors reach the threshold where their Gross Vehicle Weight can exceed 18 tonnes when laden. This is the point where one extra kilo on the tractor takes three kilos off the payload, due to counterbalance.
Thanks to Volvo's weight optimisation programme the standard 4×2 FM tractor has lost weight, so it's looking good. More importantly, it's a weight loss without compromise – as the programme is tailored to the application of each truck.
"Losing weight also has to do with minimising fuel consumption, but as tractors reach this threshold the biggest consequences have to do with payload," begins segment manager, Jonas Odermalm. All this was in mind when the weight programme was initi-ated. "One objective was to offset any weight increase brought about in meeting Euro 6. But things turned out better than expected: while others are talking about weight gain, we're losing 75 kilos."
Everybody is talking weight gain,
we're losing 75 kilos
"We were able to find weight reduction potential in various places. On the front engine anchorage, the frame itself, one or two cross members and the rear cab anchorage, to name a few. These are small improvements – a couple of kilos here, a few there. Separately they're nothing, but put them all together and it's a significant reduction."
Jonas Odermalm goes on to explain how this has been made possible. Two of the aspects are improved manufacturing processes and better control over material quality on individual components. Such as the new knuckles with integrated steering arms.
"Above all we have applied our understanding of the market segments. By knowing exactly how each truck is driven we can optimise the design criteria for the specific application." Standing at the whiteboard, Jonas Odermalm seems to have drawn a grid that includes every conceivable truck application. But in simplified terms "there's no point in having off-road axle configurations on a truck made for smooth conditions."
Long haul business manager, Christer Pehrsson speaks up from across the table, "When you can calculate the exact stresses and strains on every single part, a standard solution is senseless. That just makes most trucks heavier than they need to be. And you know our position on safety – we never take chances."
Volvo's research shows that one in four customers are weight sensitive. Or in other words: they have to plan carefully to avoid exceeding maximum payloads (and penalties). Naturally, anybody driving hazardous goods such as fuel will have extra reason to keep an eye on the payload.
Returning to the counterbalance effect of the trailer on the tractor, when the Gross Vehicle Weight is approaching 18 tonnes, the new Volvo FM's weight loss is worth three times more in payload potential. In some cases, this means the payload of the new Volvo FM is increased by 225 kilos.
"So for the trucks out there that are gaining perhaps 150 kilos to meet Euro 6, some customers may be unfortunate enough to see a fall in payload of nearly half a tonne." While Jonas Odermalm marvels at his own words, Christer Pehrsson captures the essence: "That casts new light on driving around with 75 kilos more hardware than you actually need."

Dallara Will Build New Indy Lights Chassis
PALMETTO, Fla. – Following a lengthy review process, Andersen Promotions today announced that Dallara Automobili has been selected to design and develop the next generation Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires chassis which will compete in 2015 – the Dallara IL-15.
Dallara, manufacturer of the present spec Indy Lights chassis which debuted in 2002 and current DW12 Indy car, exceeded expectations to a committee led by Tony Cotman, President and Founder of NZR Consulting and the former Vice President of Competition at IndyCar, in final proposals submitted by three manufacturers.
Dan Andersen, Owner and CEO of Andersen Promotions and a former Indy Lights team owner, placed heavy emphasis on team budgets, with the cost of the new car and spares at the forefront in the final decision-making process. Andersen's goal was to present a new car that is contemporary in design and technically advanced, able to reach 200 miles per hour, meet safety and reliability requirements and present the most desirable up-front terms for both established and new team owners.
"After a lengthy bidding process and three strong proposals from the finalists, we are delighted to confirm Dallara as our chassis partner for the foreseeable future. The new Dallara IL-15 Indy Lights race car will offer great style, current technologies and of course Dallara's well-earned reputation for building safe, reliable race cars. We are pleased with the final pricing structure and the various discounts provided by Dallara, and believe our teams and drivers will get excellent value and a terrific race car."
Dallara's proposal addressed a myriad of concerns in addition to producing a chassis that will provide drivers on the final step of the Mazda Road to Indy ladder with a car in line with the high-tech machines raced at the pinnacle of the sport. Key points include a reduction in the pricing of a new chassis for teams competing in 2014 and all teams placing orders by March 15 of next year.
In addition to the best pricing on spares of all bids submitted, Dallara will offer a once-a-year "January Sale" whereby teams wishing to stock up on spares will receive even lower pricing. The manufacturer also provided the best finance/lease deal for teams electing this option, offering to spread costs over a three-year period to defer initial ownership expenditures.
"Dallara is a proven chassis manufacturer with an equally impressive winning record," noted Cotman. "They dominate the world market for many reasons, particularly with a strong record in safety and reliability.
"I fully support Dan's decision and look forward to moving ahead with the next phases of the project, particularly details surrounding a new engine. As Indy Lights continues to evolve under the guidance of Andersen Promotions, I'm sure this is the first of many exciting announcements over the coming weeks."

Lee Smith of the Weekly Standards looks at the implications of the killing of Lebanese security chief Wissam al-Hassan, thought to be the work of Syria and its allies.
Hassan was killed not just because of what he had done in the past, but because of what he was likely to do in the future—roll up Syria and Hezbollah terrorism operations, protect Lebanese politicians as well as the Lebanese state, and prevent it from falling into a war like the one that engulfed it from 1975-1990 and killed more than 150,000.
A Middle East Cheat Sheet For Monday's Foreign Policy Debate
Ahead of the final presidential debate, Robert Satloff of the Washington Institute presents 12 questions on the Mideast he hopes the moderator will ask.
U.S. defense officials have stated that the most Israel could do militarily is to delay Iran's march toward a nuclear weapon and, in the process, Israeli action could trigger a catastrophic regional conflict. Do you agree? And in you view, which is more damaging to U.S. interests -- Iran's acquisition of a nuclear weapon or the repercussions of a possible Israeli preventive action to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon?
An Intriguing New Mideast Peace Proposal
Writing for US News, Mort Zuckerman explores a plan promoted by Ehud Barak to withdraw from the West Bank while preserving most of the settlements.
Barak's proposal has the virtue of focusing Israel's concentration on the major settlement blocs while discountenancing further settlements elsewhere, particularly if they are embedded in an overall Palestinian population. The goal is a secular Zionism as a means to democratic statehood.

Capable of sustaining 420 TFLOPS, providing a system energy efficiency of over 2.3 GFLOPS per watt and performing 2,351 million calculations per second per watt, the SANAM supercomputer is shifting the industry mindset of determining performance through FLOPS to focusing on eco-conscious measurements like performance-per-watt. This latest AMD technology milestone comes two days after the announcement that AMD Opteron� processors power the world's highest-performance supercomputer, "Titan," as ranked on the Top500's Supercomputer Sites list. In addition to the number two ranking on the Green500 List, the SANAM supercomputer can also claim the performance crown as the most powerful and energy-efficient supercomputer powered primarily by graphics processors.
AMD also introduced new reliability features that allowed the SANAM supercomputer to perform 3.6 quintillion double-precision operations during its Green500 run, further demonstrating how leading-edge supercomputing can be achieved through green technology. Moreover, AMD is solidifying its commitment to the future of the high performance computing (HPC) industry by announcing four emerging software tools that enable developers to use familiar programming methods to leverage AMD discrete graphics processing unit (GPU) and accelerated processing unit (APU) technologies.
"There is a massive shift in the HPC industry from defining supercomputing performance in terms of FLOPS to performance-per-watt and developing environmentally responsible technologies," said John Gustafson, senior fellow and chief product architect, Graphics Business Unit, AMD. "The SANAM supercomputer, equipped with AMD FirePro S10000 GPUs based on our Graphics Core Next Architecture, consumes a mere 180 kilowatts of power while running, which is incredibly low for a supercomputer. With solutions like the FirePro S10000 along with innovative software from AMD and technology partners like AccelerEyes, CAPS Entreprise and PGI we enable institutions engaged in cutting-edge research, like the University's work in quantum chromodynamics, to achieve massive compute performance and processor density, while staying within their power budget." SANAM is a joint project of Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies and King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. As an integral part of the high-speed cluster (HSC) project, Adtech Global provided technical research to identify a systems solution that would not only work for the high-speed cluster HSC application, but could also provide long-term development and modifications opportunities.
"We focused on utilizing technologies which would provide the ability to continuously improve performance, lower costs and reduce power consumption in the future," said Rick Rozalsky, vice president of Global Business Development at Adtech Global. "We knew at the outset that the SANAM supercomputer we worked on with University of Frankfurt and AMD was going to be special, but knowing is one thing and seeing is another. We have worked on many high-end, custom solutions; however, it is always exciting to flip the switch and witness the incredible performance of today's supercomputers. The performance-per-watt capability of this system is simply amazing." AMD continues to leverage the massive parallel processing capabilities of its GPUs to power the next breakthrough in scientific research. By enabling HPC developers to take advantage of GPU compute with familiar developer tools and programming methodologies that integrate OpenCL� on the backend, AMD is working to grow and strengthen the software ecosystem for a broader base of developers to take advantage of GPU computing.

Do Producer Managers Help Your Career? An In-Depth Report
Scratch below the surface of almost any producer, and they'll tell you they'd love to find The One that can propel their artistry and careers to new heights.
No, they're not talking about songwriters, vocalists, or A&R VP's. The human resource many producers, mixers, and engineers crave the most is a manager. And as elusive as this goal may be for many hard-working studio pros, for others having a producer manager is a reality.
Peruse a partial list of audio achievers who have managers, and you'll see a common thread of great creativity and platinum sales. Here's just a few: Ron Anielo, Howard Benson, Steve Booker, Michael Brauer, James Brown, Chris Carmouche, Bob Clearmountain, Chris Coady, The Dust Brothers, Stephen Hague, Nic Hard, John Hill, John Holbrook, Trevor Horn, David Kahne, Kevin Killen, Holly Knight, Ryan Leslie, Chris Lord-Alge, Tom Lord-Alge, Lawrence Manchester, Paul Northfield, Paul Oakenfold, William Orbit, Hugh Padgham, GGGarth Richardson, Andros Rodriguez, Dan Romer, Jesse Rogg, Geoff Sanoff, Elliot Scheiner, Matt Shane, Chris Shaw, Trina Shoemaker, Sly and Robbie, Randy Staub, Tony Visconti, Andy Wallace, Josh Wilbur, Alex Wong, Brad Wood, and Emily Wright.
While having a manager is no guarantee of a multi-platinum career for a producer, mixer or engineer, there's an undeniable connection between hits and the people in the above list, all of whom employ a manager. But can a producer manager actually get more – and better-paying – projects for their clients? And how does an emerging audio pro snag one of these desirable wingmen for themselves?
Career Boosters
The most common expectation that audio pros have for hiring a manager is that their workload will increase significantly. Most managers see that as a primary function, but also point out that their job description has many diverse aspects which go far beyond that benefit.
New York-based music industry veteran Joe D'Ambrosio started his full-service management company 10 years ago, and has grown a roster that includes Tony Visconti, Hugh Padgham, Kevin Killen, Elliot Scheiner, Joe Zook, Larry Gold, Rob Mounsey, Jay Newland, Lawrence Manchester and many more producers, mixers, arrangers, songwriters and engineers.
"A manager really does three things," D'Ambrosio says. "33% marketing you, 33% getting you work, and 33% getting you paid. That last one is quite important: You'd be surprised how many people, big and small, don't get paid — or get paid in an untimely fashion."
By removing his clients from discussing finances, D'Ambrosio explains, it allows them to focus solely on their craft. "The first thing I attempt to impress on the clients I represent is, 'If you're going to allow me the pleasure of representing you, you cannot talk about money. If people ask you how much to mix, tell them three words: Talk to Joe. He's there to handle the business.'"
On the "gets-you-work" tip that D'Ambrosio lists, tuned-in producer managers can be a major asset in the current climate, where the plentiful major label projects that once kept everyone busy have slowed to a relative trickle. "The whole industry is smaller and more compact," says Alia Fahlborg, Executive VP of Nettwerk Producer Management. "It used to be that if you were a producer, you didn't have to worry about not getting the big pop or rock record, because there was plenty to go around. The challenge now is you have far more producers and mixers competing for less work, with smaller budgets than ever before.
"I'm always on my soap box saying that the producer is the next-most important person in the industry, besides the artist themselves," continues Fahlborg, who counts Howard Benson, Bob Clearmountain, Chris Lord-Alge, Tom Lord-Alge, Mike Shipley, and Victor Van Vugt among her 21-client roster. "The rest of us are expendable, but the producers, mixers and engineers are the ones actually making the product that everyone else is selling. So their part in this whole thing is invaluable."
But supply is at an all-time high in proportion to projects, as noted by Sandy Roberton, who is widely regarded as a pioneering force in producer management. Currently, Roberton's L.A.-based firm World's End represents a long list of audio pros including Nick Launay, CJ Eiriksson, Matthew Wilder, Atticus Ross, and Peter Katis.
"At any one time, there are only a handful of producers or mixers who are in demand at that moment," he observes. "Bearing in mind that a good producer or mixer doesn't suddenly become a bad producer or mixer, they are simply in and out of fashion. A good manager is constantly in touch with labels, A&R, artists, and managers to keep their clients' name in their thoughts."
As producer managers go about their task of marketing their clients to artists, managers, and labels, they strive to articulate an audio pro's value to an upcoming project, while making their connection to successful past projects crystal clear. In the process, managers maintain a link between their clients and the outside world.
"Hopefully they're in the studio all the time, so while producers are trying to be creative and focus on their current project, they need someone out there promoting them," Fahlborg says. "It may take a year for a record to get made, and it can be really difficult for them to come out of the cave and say, 'I'm here!' So it's really helpful for the manager to be out there, interacting with the industry, and keeping them in the loop."
Debbi Gibbs, who heads up Manhattan-based Just Managing, and along with Dan Backhaus represents a nine-client producer/mixer/engineer roster including James Brown, Chris Coady, Geoff Sanoff, and Matt Shane, agrees that providing a conduit to the outside world is a key function. "What a manager does," she says, "is to make sure that everyone can find them, that the artists who work with them are kept informed and responded to in a timely manner, and that the best projects that come in are scheduled and organized in the most effective way. So producers can do more of what they want to do."
Of course, audio pros don't just want a nonstop stream of projects. They want projects that fit their skillset and creative outlook, and a good producer manager will keep on top of their clients' personal evolution. "You think about the combination of projects that they'll be doing, how those projects will use their skills, and what will be the most effective musically," notes Gibbs. "But a record producer often sees himself going in one direction, while the artist who's interested in them likes something they did a year or two ago. Part of my job is finding projects that are halfway between where a producer's been and where they're going – rather than something that's strictly about what they did in the past."
When Working with a Producer Manager Makes Sense
So how does a producer, mixer, or engineer know when they're ready to take that next step, and legitimately vie for a spot on a manager's roster?
"Essentially, if a producer has gotten to the point where they are so focused on the artists they're working with that other projects are getting away from them, they need a manager," Gibbs says. "There's a lot to be said for producers taking care of themselves, so they know the logistics of the business. But once that gets in the way of them doing the best job in the studio, they're ready for a manger — if the business is taking up their time or distracting their headspace, they should start looking."
In addition to getting them the kind of work they know and love, producers and their brethren may look to a manager for help in diversification. Ollie Hammett is an NYC-based producer manager for Sir Elton John's Rocket Music. "I think we're in a unique position to help develop the careers of producers," he says, "in both traditional ways i.e. producing records for artists as well as new ways, too, through opportunities in digital, interactive, film, television and theater. It's an exciting time for music producers and there are many opportunities to rewrite the rule book.
"Anyone capable of providing music production, engineering or mixing services to the highest level (needs a manager)," Hammett continues. "You could be an up-and-coming producer who needs development but shows great potential, or someone who is self-managed and at the point where you need help. You could also be someone who is unhappy with an existing or previous management relationship and looking for a fresh start."
Chris Lord-Alge, the world-class mixer whose massive platinum discography includes everyone from James Brown, Tina Turner, Stevie Nicks and Green Day, to My Chemical Romance, Snow Patrol, Shinedown and Daughtry, is represented by Alia Fahlborg. "Getting a proper manager is something you build up to," he says. "I recommend it as a way to keep yourself in the talent pool – and not just the 'worker' pool. When you do make a decision as to who will represent you, it's got to be someone you trust.
"But the other point to consider is, are you willing to give up a percentage to have someone work with you? If not, then a talented manager won't work with you. A manager is worth the cut they take, but you also need someone you can call 24 hours a days. If a good manager will take a cut of your income, then they should pick up the phone when you need them."
Winning a Place on a Producer Manager's Roster
Once an audio pro has targeted a manager, the next step is to make it onto their roster. With fewer projects available, managers can be expected to be even more discerning than ever in their client selection process.
In D'Ambrosio's case, the formula is a mix of "excellence, skills, communicative ability, accomplishments and earnings."
Similarly, Gibbs of Just Managing looks at intangibles just as closely as the balance sheet. "I have a lot of really good producers come to us, but I don't always get a handle on what we can do to help them," she says. "Picking the right clients is an ongoing challenge. We think we'll take another two clients at some point this year, and choosing who that will be is always a big decision for us. It's very crucial that we understand our clients musically, but I can't take on a client just by looking at their discography.
"If it's someone who's skilled technically, but doesn't feel strongly about the music they make, I probably wouldn't know what to do with them," Gibbs continues. "Producers have so many different techniques, and their studio experience is what allows a band to produce the best performance possible. You need to know your client's m.o. in order to put them together with the right people."
"I would say you need undeniable talent and an incredible work ethic," advises Hammett. "Rocket's core business is artist management and the producer roster is still small, but I think the common thread and what we look for in general is exceptional, unique clients whose work speaks for itself. We're actively looking for new clients as part of our expansion. Personally I'm very proactive at making contact with producers/engineers or mixers that I'm excited about, and building relationships with them. We do get quite a few people reaching out, enquiring about representation too."
Of course, the age-old chicken-or-the-egg quandary can come up for young producers, mixers or engineers who know they have the skills, but haven't had the breakout hit yet to prove it. "There's a Catch-22 sometimes for producers and mixers," Fahlborg acknowledges. "They feel they could benefit from having a manager, but the manager has to have something to run with – chart success or something that's really buzzing. There needs to be something I can grab onto, or else I can't be effective.
"A new client also has to be the right fit," continues Fahlborg. "You want to have a roster that complements one another, and doesn't compete to each client's detriment. Ultimately, if I think I can help a prospective client long term, I want to work with them. If I can't, I won't want to be involved."
Falhborg receives several emails a week from audio pros hoping to get onto her roster. "I think that's fine — they need to hustle and get along in their careers," she says. "I try to look at them all, and if someone catches my eye, I'll get back to them. Or I might say, 'There's no room on our roster right now, but keep me posted.' Email is the best, most effective way to pitch yourself to me, and we do look at everyone who gets in touch."
What to Expect from a Producer Manager
For those who make the grade and sign on with a producer manager, they'll find that outside of the core offerings, each firm may exhibit different specialties and strengths.
"Broadly speaking, we offer full service career management which covers pretty much everything," says Hammett. "For example, marketing your skills and services, managing your schedule, helping to find new projects, negotiating deals, building strategic partnerships, and handling all communication on projects between managers, labels and lawyers. Rocket also offers in-house legal and finance functions. If something very specific is needed that's outside the scope of management, such as tax accounting, we'll help find someone who can effectively handle that for our client."
At Nettwerk, Fahlborg takes considerable pride in her firm's in-house project coordinators, as well as their commitment to air-tight royalty tracking. "Our coordinators do the day-to-day of planning budgets, booking studios, booking musicians, and invoicing. And they chase the money, which is an increasingly difficult time expenditure.
"We interact with the attorneys on contracts, and once I've negotiated a deal I make sure that the deal I've made is reflected in the contract. Then there's royalties. We often need to track down the statements, and make sure the correct advance is in there. I have one person who does all royalty tracking and analyzing of statements — that's almost invaluable, because there are a lot of checks that never show up unless you chase them down fervently."
For Lord-Alge, the biggest benefit of having management comes back to the concept of staying outside of financial discussions. "The biggest problem you have as an engineer, mixer or produce is that you can't talk business with an artist," he confirms. "Having proper management representing you is what gets you past being a salaried, paid person to an entity. That way you never have to get involved in negotiating money or time. Then you never have to know anything but one word: 'yes.'
"That's important, because as soon as you're talking money, you're not the talent any more. You're really only supposed to have to talk with your clients about the creation of music, and what will make it better. When people ask you your price and you can say, 'I don't know – ask my manager,' that's one thing. But if you have to say, 'It'll cost $2,000 for me do to this,' then you may as well be behind the cash register. You're selling yourself. But you want an artist or label to work with you because you have talent – not because you provide a service."
The Financial Commitment
So what's it going to cost you? Although there are always exceptions, the typical arrangement is a 15% commission to the manager, on all projects negotiated. If the client is a writer/producer, some managers will receive a cut of the publishing as well, while others choose to keep it simple and stay out of the back end.
Whether or not that 15% will be worth it depends on many different factors. According to one multi-platinum mixer, management became nonessential as major label work grew increasingly scarce.
"A good manager will help you get work, and my previous manager did that to a certain extent, but not a lot," says the mixer, who asked to remain anonymous. "But I don't think that it's a reasonable expectation that the manager will get you work. Remember — the client is looking for you, not the manager. My manager's value came in for handling the backend and negotiating deals. When I was busy, I needed someone to handle day-to-day business, billing and that kind of stuff, which is a big pain.
"But it wasn't worth 15% for me. In the past, managers would make really good deals that made it worth it, but with the changes in the business, that just didn't happen anymore. If you're a producer/writer who's guaranteed a backend, then I believe a manager is necessary. But for a mixer, I don't think so."
For this mixer, the diminished workload made self-sufficiency the only real option. "With the economics of the music business today," he says, "there isn't much of a deal that a manager could make for you, that you couldn't make for yourself. In order to make getting a manager make sense, you'd have to see way over a 15% increase in income, and its that much more work to offset that. I just don't see that happening."
Producer managers who are in the thick of a fast-changing market will be the first to confirm that the act of matching production talent to artist has undergone a major transformation. "When I managed bands, they didn't have direct access to producers or their discography – artists had to rely on the record company to tell them what Steve Lillywhite was doing, and how to get ahold of him," Debbi Gibbs states. "But now bands don't rely on the record companies for that: They rely on the Internet.
"So the vast majority of the decision-making around producers comes from bands directly. They like knowing you're professional, and knowing that a producer who has a manager will make things move smoothly, and deliver on budget."
"The most important thing to know about the relationship is that it's a partnership," adds Fahlborg. "People think a manager will come in, and all this magic stuff will happen. But it's hard work, not magic, and the client has to be doing their part as much as the manager. It's so important for the manager and the client to be in communication, and be working the different situations together."
Rewarding Workflow
The payoff for the team is when a producer, mixer, or engineer keeps moving forward as the two work in tandem.
"The biggest challenge remains managing your client's expectations," says Joe D'Ambrosio. "You do that through constant communication, expressing honesty and heartfelt wisdom throughout. The best reward is when a producer, manager or artist calls me and says, 'Your client did a job for us. I can't tell you how happy we are, thank you.' I say, 'No, thank YOU!"
Debbi Gibbs offers up a picture of the producer manager who can grow their practice in the current industry. "If you like the idea of a low-profile position in the music business that allows you to have amazing people as clients, you could be well positioned as a producer manager."
In that sense, Alia Fahlborg is very much living the dream. "Like a lot of my clients, I get up in the morning and I'm excited for something that I've done for many years," she says. When you work with so many great producers, mixers and engineers, you get to see what they do on a deep level. You see the demos, their involvement in the studio process, and you see how much better the music can be with a top producer or mixer involved. To be a part of what they're doing, and making their careers better in some way, is a privilege."

Saturday's Opponent, Saint Mary's: This will be the first road game for the Gaels (0-4, 0-2), who opened with a 20-14 loss against Cal and haven't finished closer in any game since. Saint Mary's was picked ninth in the 10-team MPSF in a preseason vote of conference coaches. The Gaels went 2-6 in the MPSF and 4-9 last year. Junior midfielder Rachel Minarovich, now a senior, was an All-MPSF second-team choice last year. The Gaels' leading scorer is Allie DeBruhl, who has 10 goals. Molly Kuptz recorded 2014 MPSF-highs of nine ground balls and five caused turnovers in a 17-8 loss to Robert Morris on Friday. Minarovich had seven draw controls in that game and 11 against Harvard.
The Stanford-Saint Mary's Series: Stanford leads the all-time series, 26-0. Stanford's next-highest number of victories without a loss against an opponent is 7-0 against Fresno State. Thirteen of those victories have been by 10 or more goals, including nine of 10 since 2006. However, from 2000-05, the teams regularly played close games, including Stanford's 9-8 home victory on Feb. 24, 2001, in what remains the closest score in series history. Katharine Barnes' hat trick helped Stanford erase an early 3-0 deficit in that game.
* * *
In Review: Stanford is coming off back-to-back overtime road victories against ranked teams: 8-7 at then-No. 11 Towson on March 6, and 11-10 at No. 14 Georgetown on March 8. Stanford rallied from a 10-4 deficit against Georgetown by holding the Hoyas without a goal for the final 32 minutes. Goalie Lyndsey Munoz made a big save on an overtime free-position shot and had eight saves in that game, and nine against Towson, for 17 total saves of 34 shots faced in those two games. Munoz was named MPSF Defensive Player of the Week and national women's player of the week by the Baltimore Sun. Hannah Farr, who scored the winner against Towson and caused and collected the turnover that led to the winning goal against Georgetown, was the MPSF Offensive Player of the Week.
Teewaraton Watch List: Stanford senior attack Rachel Ozer and sophomore midfielder Lucy Dikeou were named to the watch list for the Tewaaraton Award, the most prestigious annual honor in collegiate women's lacrosse. Ozer and Dikeous were among 51 women on the list. Others have a chance to play their way on. The lists will be expanded on March 20 and April 10. The number will be cut to 25 on April 24. Five finalists will be announced on May 8 and invited to the awards ceremony May 29 in Washington, D.C. The addition of Dikeou brings the number of Stanford players on the list to eight since 2006. Lauren Schmidt '10 and Laura Shane '08 each were named to the list three times. Last year, Ozer, goalie Lyndsey Munoz and midfielder Anna Kim were named.
MPSF Preseason Poll: Stanford is the choice to win the MPSF, as determined by a vote of conference coaches. The Cardinal is the preseason favorite for the fifth consecutive year and seeks to win its ninth MPSF title in 10 years. Stanford received seven of 10 possible first-place votes, with 2013 regular-season champion Denver receiving two and USC, in only its second season, receiving one.
Coming Back: Stanford returned 11 of its 12 starters and 96 percent of its goals (260 of 272) from a 14-6 team that reached the second round of the NCAA tournament last year. Rachel Ozer and Anna Kim were IWLCA All-Region second-team players and among six Cardinal named to the All-MPSF team in 2013.
Ozer's Scoring: With a team-high 12 goals this year, Rachel Ozer moves into 15th place on the program's all-time career list, with 79 goals. Liz Piselli (2004-07) is next ahead of her, with 83. Ozer also is tied for No. 8 all-time in career assists (40) and is within two of breaking into Stanford's top 15 in career points. Ozer has 119.
Poplawski's Streak: Freshman Alex Poplawski has not only started all six games of her brief collegiate career, but she has scored goals in each of them too. Poplawski, a 6-foot midfielder from Springfield, Pa., has eight goals and is tied for fourth on the team goal-scoring list.
On the Horizon: Stanford spends spring break on its second East Coast trip of the month, traveling to Cornell on Wednesday, March 25, and then playing at No. 6 Notre Dame on March 29. The Notre Dame game will be a rematch of Stanford's 8-7 victory over the Irish in a 2013 NCAA first-round game in Evanston, Ill. Stanford will return home for MPSF games April 4 and April 6 against Denver and Colorado, respectively.

Off-Grid Tennessee Micro Cabin Packs in High Design
BY: Andrew Michler
Start Slideshow
- Cape Russell Retreat (4)This beautiful off-grid micro cabin in Tennessee is a contemporary update to the traditional lakeside retreat. The Cape Russell Retreat is a modestly-sized cabin that packs high design into a small residence that is completely independent of the water and electrical grids. Sander Pace Architecture's design features a steel frame, a butterfly roof, and a cedar and screened façade to provide shelter and all the creature comforts necessary for a relaxing weekend getaway.1
- Cape Russell Retreat (7)The cabin began as a steel cube — the vertical cedar slats give it strength, and openings in the back wall add interest.2
- Cape Russell Retreat (5)The verticality of the façade helps the cabin slip into the woods during the day.3
- Cape Russell Retreat (9)At night light from the interior escapes through the silver openings4
- Cape Russell Retreat (6)The other sides are simple screened-in frames that allow breezes to enter and provide views of the lake and mountains beyond.5
- Cape Russell Retreat (10)The entrance is a generous 8 x 8 foot rolling screen door, which is protected by a tall roof overhang to block sun and capture rain.6
- Cape Russell Retreat (11)The butterfly roof is a simple solution that creates a perfect place to set a modest solar electric array.7
- Cape Russell Retreat (2)The roof also capture rainwater, which is treated with a carbon and UV filter and stored in a 400 gallon tank for drinking and washing in the outdoor shower.8
- Cape Russell Retreat (1)The interior features all the creature comforts of a small kitchen, complete with a sink and refrigerator.9
- Cape Russell Retreat (8)The cabin even has ceiling fans to cut stagnant air on hot summer evenings.10
- Cape Russell Retreat (12)At 176 square feet, the cabin is just large enough to provide all that is needed for a simple escape -- but nothing superfluous.11

The 12th Round
Just so we're clear on everything, during the year 2003 I resolve to:
* Help Greg Page in any way I can to achieve justice over the state of Kentucky and the evil Kentucky Athletic Commission.
* Discredit the efforts of the Association of Boxing Commissions until such time as it makes a statement that is, for a change, positive for boxing and sees its way clear to remove Jack Kerns from its board of directors.
* Continue to expose the unfair business practices going on at networks such as ESPN, which has severely diluted the quality of boxing offered on television.
* Continue to expose the hypocrisy in the so-called "editorial comment" from ESPN "experts", who are concerned with cleaning up boxing, as long as it has nothing to do with cleaning up themselves, or their employers.
* Get to the bottom of why John McCain and his followers are so hesitant about including anything in the new boxing bill that would deal with a most pressing issue - the oversight of television boxing.
* Further my efforts in spelling out - in an intelligent way - exactly what justifies the regulation of television networks, as they relate to boxing.
* Shine the light on promoters who think they're going to stiff fighters - and get away with it - so they can't operate any more.
* Pick up on some of the positive things going on in the area of boxing regulation and make sure everyone knows about it.
* Defend boxing to those who criticize it only out of ignorance.
* Reform and revamp the ratings system in the only plausible manner I can think of - by following through on our media poll and integrating it with a sanctioning body so that it can have a real impact on world championships.
* Articulate in detail why it is so dangerous, and foolish, to put the sole authority for ranking fighters and bestowing championships in the hands of one single media entity whose primary purpose is commercial in nature.
* Clearly separate the legitimately-concerned boxing reform advocates from the hypocrites.
* Educate the media as much as possible, because, with no disrespect intended, it can only enhance its capability of covering the sport accurately and effectively.
* Expose members of the press who are "on the take".
* Do everything I can to support people in this business who are truly doing things the right way.
* Lay out a rational, realistic way in which promoters - and other roles in boxing - can be defined, so that it is more difficult for someone to slip through the cracks.
* Make sure as many people as possible realize what kind of folks are running Sugar Ray Leonard Boxing.
* Continue to force boxing commissions to take a long look at what they are doing and how they are doing it.
* Encourage commissions to institute changes in policies and practices that make sense.
* Expose the inadequacies of commissions who don't care, or who refuse to adjust for the benefit of the sport.
* Find out exactly how many boxers are bought and paid for - signed, sealed and delivered to managers or promoters while they're still amateurs, and ascertain exactly how that's allowed to happen.
* Drive Mat Tinley over the edge.
* Explore the exploitation of the insurance system by certain ringside physicians.
* Stay on the corrupt NABF's ass.
* Bring forward true, legitimate alternatives to the current scoring system.
* Do everything I can to help the union effort get off the ground.
* Explore the pluses, minuses, and ramifications of promotional contracts - the fuel on which this business runs.
* Help Joey Gamache and fighters like him who are victimized by phony weigh-ins.
* Come up with a feasible plan by which comprehensive medical tests can be taken care of, without cost to fighters or promoters.
* Figure out a way to assist those who are putting together ways for fighters to obtain insurance and retirement benefits.
* Get it through somebody's head that consumers are a constituency that needs to be protected.
* Get state commissions to reciprocally honor certain suspensions that may not necessarily be related to medical issues.
* Continue to bring forward issues that should be included in boxing legislation, whether they are ultimately included or not.
* Put together an alternative bill that would make more sense than anything that has been submitted in Congress before, in the hope that it may get its due consideration some time in the future.
* Help the sanctioning bodies join their efforts together on certain issues that might result in the betterment of boxing.
* Continue the campaign for neutrality in officials for world championship fights, and to clearly decipher what hidden agenda prompts people like Greg Sirb to be so dead set against it.
* Convince people within the boxing industry that legitimate boxing reform need NOT be a threat to them, but instead something that in the long run will enhance the credibility of their product.
* Convince people like McCain's errand boy Ken Nahigian that a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
* Find a legitimately qualified person to be the national boxing "czar", because we've been offered mostly garbage.
* Force the ABC and its people to put their business out in the open - the same kind of standard they seem to demand from most of the entities they would aspire to regulate.
* Digest as much feedback as I can from people who really care.
* Endure all thirty minutes of "Around the Horn" at least once.
* Explain to Max Kellerman why we are really not in another "golden age of boxing".
* Love my neighbor.
* Make new friends.
* Exercise more tolerance.
* Okay, exercise LESS tolerance - sometimes.
* Be relentless.
* Be honest.
* Be accurate.
* Get more sales. PLEASE - more sales.
Happy New Year.

Pastors of two of Medina County's Catholic churches cheered the election Wednesday of the new pontiff, Pope Francis, to lead the world's 1.2 billion Catholics.
The Rev. Tony Sejba, pastor of St. Francis Xavier parish in Medina, said that as an archbishop in Argentina, the pope was known for riding a bus instead of a limousine and cooking his own meals.
Sejba said that speaks volumes about the kind of leader he will be.
"He really seems like a very humble person," Sejba said.
"I think he'll bring the perspective of the Third World and I think that's really important."
In Brunswick, the Rev. Bob Stec, pastor of St. Ambrose parish, echoed those comments.
"One of the things that Pope Francis has brought is he will continue the church's role in being an advocate to the poor and those in need," Stec said.
Stec said he looks forward to seeing the new pope lead the church, and that his emphasis on serving the poor was important as it's a living example of the way Jesus lived.
"The more we take care of our brothers and sisters in need, the closer we become to the Lord," he said. "The church has such a long and rich tradition of social justice teaching. It has long been an advocate for the rights of the poor, rights of women and rights of the unborn."

Zimbabwe's Dynamos budgeted 300-billion Zimbabwe dollars (Z$) to cover the costs of its return leg of the African Champions League tie against Etoile Sahel of Tunisia.
And it's not enough.
Because of currency buying regulations and hyperinflation the team is unable to purchase enough US dollars to pay for the trip.
The current cost of the trip would be 10-trillion Zimbabwe dollars.
At the turn of the new year, the country's Central Statistical Office had officially announced that inflation had passed the 100,000% mark. And on April 4, the Zimbabwe Financial Gazette reported that, by February, it had jumped to 164,900% (And you thought W. couldn't f**k things up any worse).
Last week, when the country unfixed its pegged exchange rates, Zimbabawe's official exchange rate floated to $1US = Z$ 168,815,000 (that's $169 million if the zeros are confusing you), meaning the cost of the trip would be about US$50,000.
So it's not just that Dr. Evil is running the Zimbabwe FA, it's that the government is trying to run a country on Monopoly money. Ask Germany, it doesn't work. The irony being it's a Munich-based company that's literally printing the money to run the economy into the ground. The München-based company, Giesecke & Devrient is receiving more than US$700,000 a week for delivering bank notes at the absurd rate of Z$170 trillion a week.
Hey, at least the Germans have experience with this sort of thing. Thankfully Zimbabwe doesn't have an antsy megalomaniacal streak in them. So it's neighbors are safe.
Anyway, it's a bummer because Etoile Sahel are the defending champions and Dynamos hold a 1-0 lead after the home leg and if any club would have that kind of coin you'd think it would be one whose nickname is the "Glamour Boys". But even at 10-trillion, it's probably even outside the spending habits of Roman Abramovich.
Although if anybody else has 10-trillion dollars laying around and has always wanted to help out Zimbabwe, opportunity has met preparation.

There seems to be a growing trend among thieves, or a pattern of a particularly elusive thief, of breaking into churches and robbing them. On January 22, 2010, Free Missionary Baptist Church was robbed. Also, on January 24, 2010, Cornerstone Baptist Church and Cherry Grove Baptist Church were both broken into. The weekend before, three other churches were hit in the Capitol Street area. The Jackson Police department does not have any leads at this time, but has said that they are organizing a plan to stop the burglaries.
All of this bad news provokes a question to be asked. "Will a man rob God?" This question is in the Bible in the third chapter of Malachi, but that scripture is actually talking about people that don't pay their tithes and offerings. Unfortunately, this story is more dramatic than that. This also seems to support some of the facts stated in "Fighting the Bible Belt Mentality" about the decline of Christianity. Unfortunately, this isn't about the decline of a Christian majority. Not here. These robberies reek of a lack of reverence and knowledge of God, but they also expose a weakness within the Church. Why is it that only one of these churches had an alarm to scare off these criminals? Has the local body forgotten that Jesus sent Christians into the world to be sheep among wolves? Has the Church forgotten to be wise as serpents, yet harmless as doves? This tells me that I don't have to be Rambo everywhere I go, but I don't have to be a big easy target either. Why did these churches not have insurance to cover stolen items? I know that Christians aren't supposed to be of the world, but Christians shouldn't forget that they still live in the world either.
Please don't misunderstand me, or get offended. These robberies are not the fault of the churches. This is absolutely horrible. We should all pray for these churches as well as pray for the person/people that did this. God is able to cause them to repent and turn themselves in or be caught with everything stolen in working order (and God, I pray that is exactly what You do). I just pray that we all acknowledge that we must always watch and pray. These two verbs work best when paired together.

In a review of Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight, Eurogamer highlighted some of the game's issues -- most of which should sound familiar if you read anything about the Ubisoft debacle. The site says that C&C4 is constantly monitor and uploading your experience-point count, and thus the game is always online. If your connection drops for any reason, you will be kicked from the game -- even in single player -- and the game won't attempt to reconnect, so your session is totally lost.
It's also noted that C&C4 plays well on a mid-range laptop, which would make it a great title to pick up while traveling, but without a strong Wi-Fi signal that isn't currently possible. It's unclear whether EA will incorporate these limitations into other titles, and let us pray that other companies won't resort to always-on schemes.

XIIL is inspired by interlocking burr puzzles. It consists of 12 identical plywood elements. All parts stay together without the need of glue and nails.
It is part of "coordinate" collection. Coordinate because in order to be assembled all parts must be moved together towards the center as a coordinate-motion (slide-together) structure. Once assembled the structure stays stable even if one tries to move one or two of its elements. The level of difficulty in this case depends not only on dexterity but also on spatial vision.
The standard kit contains only the wooden parts.

The lead time is 3 to 4 business days.

I see the need to give players their due. If they're good, they should be adulated, and rewarded. But the probowl is a bit of a popularity contest that is (a) weighted toward players that have cache, (b) weighted toward players who are on winning teams, and (c) only based on part of the season.
Balloting goes on for about 8 weeks, but misses the last 2 weeks of the season. Front-runners are always shown, so its easy to manipulate whose in and out if a group of fans vote a certain way...and what tends to happen is that some players get in based on reputation, rather than on actual production.
Now I'm not disappointed that Long and Marshall made the probowl. Good for them. But think about it for a moment. When the season still mattered, Marshall was absent from the offense. Until recently, Marshall had 3 TDs, and had dropped twice that many; he was the guy you could NOT count on when it mattered. But he had some good stats overall, and was on a pace to break 1,000 yards (which he has).
Jake Long is a shell of his former self. Yes, he's playing injured, and yes, he's still one of the best tackles in the league. But he missed most of 4 games, and parts of two others due to injury. And he was having trouble with many rushers, and allowed a higher-than-he-had-in-the-past number of sacks.
That's just my two cents.
