You see, I started to realize that the life-altering events I'd been going through over the past three years weren't just something to "get through." For me, they were a touchstone, a major turning point. They caused a seismic shift in my topography that has left me changed, and I believe for the better. To use an incredibly trite analogy, a door has shut and another opened. Admittedly, to me it often felt more akin to a door slamming on my butt and being shoved out a window, but you get the picture. And the idea of creating something on my body to illustrate my journey and inspire me forward became real. I wanted my chosen permanent marking to be a physical reminder that I had made it through to the other side better than before. Sure I still had battles ahead, but I wanted to see, to touch my "badge of honor" and know that the storm was worth it. An awful lot for a little mark to represent, huh? So I started searching for the right one, and I found it. Or rather, it found me. And two weeks ago I had my Thursday appointment, with Friday.
Friday Jones is a warm, genuine woman whose infectious excitement and joy fills her studio. She's also the incredibly talented artist who presented me with my emblem of transformation, in a room filled with palpable serenity. Did it hurt? No. Was I scared? No. Do I love it? Absolutely, without a moment of hesitation or regret. And from this day forward if I find myself filled with fear or doubt, all I need do is reach over and gently touch the small carnelian-colored open lotus on the inside of my right arm and acknowledge the infinite potential, new beginnings and positive thought it ushers into my life. A just reminder of battles well fought, and won.

When Cheri Gerou hangs it up as our state representative at the end of the year, we'll owe her a gigantic debt of gratitude for six very good years.
By Jeffrey A. Roberts
"Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants."
Louis Brandeis wrote these words a century ago, before his appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court, to note the power of publicity as a cure for "social and industrial diseases" like the inequities fostered by the corporate monopolies of his time.
By Cheri Gerou
In 1783, officers of the Continental and French armies founded our nation's oldest patriotic organization: Society of the Cincinnati. Central to its purpose was the philosophy of a Roman, Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus (519-430 B.C.), who left his farm to accept a term as Roman consul and served as magister populi (with temporary powers akin to a modern-era dictator).

Mountain area nonprofits say thanks for Colorado Gives Day donations
On behalf of the mountain area nonprofit coalition, we would like to thank everyone who made Colorado Gives Day 2013 a huge success.
OK, I admit it: I can't resist reading every single insider book that portends to explain the goings-on within our government. Most of us have strong opinions concerning the executive branch of our government powered by the simplistic rhetoric of Fox or MSNBC. We have become a group of "Monday-morning quarterbacks." The Bush hate seemed to be unprecedented, until the Obama hate got into full swing.
Six hundred and forty-three thousand. That's more than half a million.
And those are more than enough reasons that two longtime incumbents on the board of the Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District should be challenged aggressively in this May's election.
Zero is another number of note in this disturbing saga: That's the number of non-incumbents who had filed to run, as of Tuesday, for the four board seats up for election.

The bus driver who was killed when his mini-school bus was struck by a cement mixer in Locust Valley in July 2012 died of "multiple blunt force injuries," a deputy county medical examiner told jurors Thursday, as testimony in the truck driver's vehicular homicide case continued.
Dr. Dorota Latuszynski, a Nassau County deputy medical examiner, said Jorge Guevara, 45, had suffered multiple blunt force injuries to his head and torso, including numerous broken ribs and bones penetrating the skin in his arms and legs.
Latuszynski, a forensic pathologist, also testified an autopsy revealed a hematoma around Guevara's brain, tears in his heart and lacerations around his body.
Guevara, 45, was behind the wheel of the mini-school bus that was carrying special needs children home from summer camp when the bus was struck by a cement mixer after the more than 13-foot truck crashed into a Long Island Rail Road overpass on Oyster Bay Road in Matinecock on July 23, 2012, prosecutors said.
Authorities claim Raymond Ragen, 45, of Mineola, knew his truck was too large to fit under the overpass before the collision, but say he "continued to drive dangerously." They also allege he was high on Valium and using his cellphone at the time of the crash.
He was indicted in January 2013 on charges, which include aggravated vehicular homicide, vehicular manslaughter, vehicular assault, operating a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Ragen has maintained his innocence in the case and his defense lawyer, David Besso, has said the crash was an accident and not a criminal act. He told jurors that testimony from police investigators will show Ragen was not impaired at the time.
There were four children on the bus at the time of the crash who all suffered non-life-threatening injuries, officials said. Prosecutors said family members of those victims will testify during the trial.
Witness testimony is expected to continue in the case next Tuesday.

UCLA Architecture and Urban Design is "one of the best schools in competition with several of the top private institutions in the country. The program is well balanced between research and practice with a focus on planning ten years ahead into the future."
— NAAB (National Architectural Accreditation Board) April, 2010
Changing global realities are redefining the interaction between culture, politics, economics, and the environment. These changes alter the boundaries between disciplines that will define the conditions for future inquiries into architecture and urban design. At UCLA, we are deeply immersed in a research environment that anticipates change and can move from the realm of ideas to their application, from present situations to emerging realities. Architecture and urban design now faces fundamental issues of practice that will alter these ancient disciplines. Our senior design faculty is among the most progressive in understanding and exemplifying these transformations: Thom Mayne, Greg Lynn, Neil Denari, Craig Hodgetts, and Mark Mack. In analyzing history and theory as they impact architecture and urban design and contribute to the understanding of visual culture, we are further strengthened by the internationally recognized contributions of Sylvia Lavin, Dana Cuff, and Diane Favro.
Redefining architectural education in a major research university, we emphasize interaction among the components of our program, design, technology, and critical studies (history and theory), along with the other Departments in the School of the Arts and Architecture and the larger University. We are especially strong in examining the theory and impact of computerized technology on design, and the latest developments in robotics, and the fabrication of building components. Critical studies at UCLA makes a crucial contribution to the evaluation of new directions in design and issues of contemporary practice, including pressing environmental concerns. We are increasing our interest in cross-cultural studies, exchange programs, and cross industry research. Our undergraduate major allows us to further expand and enrich both our faculty and student body.
Los Angeles is a prototype of the 21st century city embodying the cultural, social, economic, and political issues central to the future of architecture and urbanism. It also represents a new edge between the West and the East, an intersection of increasing importance where diverse cultures transform and generate new opportunities for design. Los Angeles also provides an infinite resource for the study of architecture and urban design, including the innovations from the entertainment and technology industries, and serving as a prime indicator of our global future.
UCLA Architecture and Urban Design is at the forefront of a new kind of city with an intense diversity of culture, the continuing influence of Asia, and a creative milieu influenced by both high technology and entertainment media. We attract designers and thinkers from around the world who come to share their work and ideas through lectures, exhibitions, and teaching. Our city provides a fertile opportunity for cross-industry research and collaboration, the potential of which has yet to be fully mined. In the fall of 2013, our department will launch a new satellite campus, the aim of which is to serve as a platform for industry and non-profit partnership to bring in a new host of design inquiries, including robotics materials research, applied scholarship, and practice that will define the future boundaries of architecture and urban design. Los Angeles and the University, with their constant flows of inexhaustible energy, provide a dynamic platform for the study of architecture and urban design today.
Hitoshi Abe, Chair

The Tampa Bay Lightning continued retooling their roster on Tuesday, taking a bite out of the Big Apple in the process. On the first day of free agency, they signed defenseman Anton Stralman to a five-year contract, forward Brian Boyle to a three-year contract and goaltender Evgeni Nabokov to a one-year deal. The former two came from the New York Rangers, while the latter comes over from the New York Islanders.
While the financial terms were not released by the Lightning, Stralman will reportedly have an average annual value of $4.5 million. Boyle's is worth $2 million per season, while Nabokov's deal is for $1.55 million.
The 27-year-old Stralman had 13 points in 81 games for the Rangers last season. He emerged as a solid shut down defenseman during their playoff run, posting a plus-four rating against top lines, and adding five assists.
"He's responsible defensively," said Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman of Stralman. "I saw him play in Europe before he came to North America, and he was more of an offensive defenseman. He's transitioned into a really stable, solid player."
The 29-year-old Brian Boyle is a big center (6'7") who is good at faceoffs and has a penchant for coming up big in the playoffs. He had 18 points in the regular season, adding eight more in the postseason for the Rangers.
"He allows us to get bigger," said Yzerman of Boyle. "He's a good, solid defensive forward, a good competitor, a good penalty-killer."
The 38-year-old Nabokov provides a solid veteran backup to play behind starter Ben Bishop. IN 40 games for the Islanders last season, Nabokov posted a .905 save percentage and a 2.74 goals against average, en route to 15 wins.
"We had a list of goaltenders, and we felt we could get one of them," said Yzerman. "At the end of the day, we got the one with the most experience."

I'm sure we have all done similar experiments when we were kids. You put a potato in a glass of water and wait for it to sprout. The experiment is a great way to show how potatoes are grown as they don't grow from seeds. A glass container is usually used with toothpicks to support the potato at the mouth of the container so it is only partially submerged. This way the student can see the emerging root structure as well as the vines that sprout at the top.
This child's first potato failed to sprout either leaves or roots after a month in the water. She repeated the process with a second potato and had the same results. Undeterred, she asked the produce manager at the grocery store what was wrong with her potatoes. The manger told the child that potatoes often have a product called "Bud Nip" applied to them to prevent sprouting, and she should consider an organic potato for her experiment.
She chose an organic potato from the grocery store and had some success with it sprouting but was still not completely happy with the results. She went to a local farmer's market and chose an organic potato from their selection and had resounding success in the growing of this final potato.
Her conclusion? Choose organic if you don't want to eat creepy chemicals. I'd have to agree with her. I'm also concerned about the failure of the first organic potato to grow as heartily as the first. Are there varying degrees of "organic" or was it simply a matter of potato type? Maybe I'll see if any of my kids are willing to experiment with a few different organic potatoes to see what the results are.
What is Bud Nip
Commercial names for the chemical chlorpropham are "Bud Nip" and "Taterpex". According to Wikipedia it is a chemical used to regulate growth and as a sprout suppressant for a variety of grass weeds, alfalfa, certain beans, carrots, berries, garlic, onions, spinach, tomatoes, and more. The purpose of using it on potatoes is to prolong their life after harvesting as once they begin to sprout "eyes", their quality declines quickly. The chemical is approved by the USDA and the EPA for use on human food, although recommendations have been made to revoke it's usage on soybeans.
A 1996 EPA Fact Sheet stated that one component of the chemical is "structurally similar" to a known carcinogen, but the low doses received via the food supply aren't enough to warrant it potent enough to harm humans – although the chemical itself has not been studied individually; the results are based on the similar metabolite, not the one that is actually found in chlorpropham. Yum.
Furthermore, some of the lab animals that the chemical was tested on had babies that suffered birth defects when given high amounts of the chemical, along with changes in thyroid function, "increased incident of rudimentary 14th rib" (um, what?!), increased post-implantation embryo loss (miscarriage), among other problems. The EPA also has some pretty strict guidelines for protective gear that handlers of the chemical and handlers of large volumes of stored potatoes must wear.
My Takeaway
Personally, I'm creeped out. I try not to get all Eco-Outraged by this stuff because we all know it's out there and we all know we're eating this stuff. It's just a matter of being able filter through the sensationalism and make good choices for your family. This experiment did not convince me to buy more organic products, instead it only made my suspicion greater that organic products are a sham most of the time – the first organic potato barely grew and other experimenters on the web had organic potatoes that would not grow at all!
I think I'll make planting that vegetable garden a priority this spring. What are your thoughts?

Part One Of Two
Bruises (A Kiba One-Shot/Lemon)
Na Na looked over in the mirror of her hotel room. Once again you had a bruise on your light brown yet elegant skin. You had just came here and hated it. You was 16 a girl of quality shifted from 2008 fto whatever time it was. Your once long black hair was silver though. Your once chocolate eyes a purple pinkish color and your lip pink as well on their own.
You moved quietly to her bag which she had with her only essential things she had before she was swpt away from her time. You pulled out her shampoo and a white baby tee. Also you pulled out a blue and white cloth belt with a star on the end, a pair of white skin tight Capris , some blue and white striped arm warmers, and your favorite pair of blue with fashion design and white shoestring Allstar boots(Ya know youve seen in E-vays pic STYLE). You took a shower and washed your hair. While you thought The Fifth Hokage Tsunade had explained to you yesterday what happened to you.
You looked around the office she had seen it in the Anime TV show Naruto. You looked into the face of one of the ninja who had escorted you out of the forest she woke up in, ANBU, this must have been serious. You found herself in a office with Tsunade the Fifth Hokage. You listened carefully at the whispering the ANBU said to Tsunade. So no one saw you they basically transported you there.
Tsunade-Hello Na Na.
Tsunade-I bet you are confused about this.
You-Yes Maam.
Tsunade-Well Na Na you have been transported from your regular time and can never go back.
Tsunade-Na Na some way, some how you got here and you used your own pwers to do it. Unless you find out what it was you can never go back. Though Na Na you have a Bat Demon heritage explaining your reason for looking the way we do. But only a half demon heritage in you.
You-Well Ill just have to find out what it was.
You were a quiet girl by nature and didnt yell much. But you felt like crying
Tsunade-You are being very strong with this
Excellent. Would you consider being a ninja Na Na?
You-Yes I would.
Tsunade-Excellet. You will be assigned to a team. For now you will be staying in a hotel room. Meet back here at 6 tommorow.
You-SIX!?!?! SO EARLY!! Yes maam.
~End Flashback~
So now here you were washing your hair and taking a shower at 5:19 in the morning. After you got out you put on your outfit and walked to the buffet of the hotel. You were very clumsy so after almost tripping 14 times you made it there. You ate a lot for your small figure. Once you were done chowing down you quickly ran to the Hokage building seeing as it was 5:51. Taking track came in handy. Most people looked at you like you were crazy runing when you could just transport there. You ran quietly tripping a little but at 5:58 you were there. Quietly you walked into the room. Tsunade on her desk passed out.
You-YOU HAVE TO BE F***ING KIDDING ME!
???-She does that.
You turned around to see the one and only Asuma Sarutobi smoking a cigerette. A small blush appearing on your face because you just were embarrassed. Asuma chuckled scaring the daylights out of you. Obviously he thought you were funny because you looked like a deer in the headlights.
Asuma-Im your sensei-
You-Asuma Sarutobi.
Asuma-Uh Howd you know?
You-Ive Heard of you?
Asuma-Oh ok. Lets go.
The walk to the training ground was unbearable and awkward. When you finally got there though you heard a loud voice. It was a girl voice and you knew who it was obviously. Ino. You got yourself ready. Training was gonna be hard
~Fast forward 7 HOURS~
TRAING WAS LONG AND HARD. It was because you needed to learn basics but you knew something so it was ok. You were lying on the grass refusing to get up.
Ino-Ya Know everyone is going to a club tonight to have some fun. Its all the teams.
You-Im not everyone.
Shikamaru-Come on Na Na. If not were going to hear this all day.
Chouji-Yeah Shikamarus right. Please Na Na.
You-Will there be food?
Shikamaru and Ino sweatdrop.
Chouji-Of course.
Im IN!
Shikamaru and Ino do an anime fall.
Chouji-Whats up with them?
You-I dont know.
As soon as you got home you started prepairing for it. It started at 7 and ended at 11 so you only had 3 hours. You toke a shower and got your outfit and makeup ready.
You were outside the club a bout 30 minutes late you always were.
You walked in the blasting music you were used to and the lights. You saw Chouji by the food station. He was wearing a black T-shirt and some light blue jeans and he looked skinny rather it was just because his ninja gear made him look it.
You-Step one.EAT!
You saw Chouji look at you then at the food he was eating then up again he was blushing this time.
You-HEY CHOUJI!
Chouji-HI NA NA YOU LOOK NICE.
You-THANK YOU!
Shikamarus POV
You were looking for Chouji till you saw him near food. Of course. But then you saw a girl next to him. You went up to him.
You-Hi CHOUJI!
Chouji-HEY SHIKAMARU!
They turned the music down so you could talk normaly.
You-So Chouji whos this?
???-This is Na Na
You-No way
Now she looked completely different. She had on a blue miniskirt with looked like white tights under. Then she had on A cut off blue shirt that stopped right below her breast with a kind of tie in the back and she had on a cut off jean jacket and some blue and white heels. Not to mention her makeup blue also but contrasted on her dark skin.
Na Na-Its me and look at you.
You were wearing a gray jacket with a light green shirt and blue jeans with some black sneakers.
Na Na-All fly and stuff.
You knew she was joking but a blush came on your face.
You-Uh everyones over here.
Na Na POV
Shikamaru-Uh everyones over here.
You-Come on lets go then. Coming Chouji?
Chouji-Naw Ill see you guys later.
You two went straight through the club. Most guys giving you stares. You were content though and didnt try to show off. The single to thing let you know you were close was a mountain of blonde hair you saw. Knowing it was Naruto you walked on. You found everyone in a private section but it was still in veiw of everything. Shikamaru walked in ahead of you. You almost fell at one point and fell behind a little.
Shikamaru-Everybody this is Na Na.
Though you werent there. But Before someone could say something you walked up.
You-Sorry almost fell! Hi.
Kiba and Naruto mouths dropped and they started drooling. Sasuke, Shino, Neji, and Lee showed interest because their mouthes opened a little. Hinata and Tenten smiled at you. Ino and Sakura looked mad.
Shikamaru-These are-
You-Let me do this. Neji, Tenten. Lee,Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, and of course Ino.
Shikamaru-Why do you always do that?
You-Fall? Im clumsy.
Shikamaru -Nevermind.
You walk over to Naruto and Kiba.
You-Are you two trying to catch flies?
Naruto-*gains composure* Uh no.
Kiba*gains composure* Yeah right.
You-*giggles* Just making sure. So whats up?
Sakura-Nothing much this thing is just starting you cant expect much.
Probably because you were getting Sasukes attention she was being a b***h. Yeah most likely
You-Oh really.
DJ-Ok people we got any singers out there?! Cuz If you is one come up and show everyone what you working with!
You-Hmm. Im gonna go to the bathroom. See ya.
Kiba-Na Nas been gone a while.
Everyone was looking at the singers who went up there. Most of them couldnt sing but tried.
Shikamaru-Is that Our Na Na?
You sing Im Grown by Tiffany Evans
You-*speaks into mike* OK!
You sing 16 at War by Karina Pasian
You-*smile* PEACE!
You walk back to the group where Chouji had joined. You look at them and they all compliment .
Chouji-I didnt know you could sing Na Na.
Naruto-Good job.
Shino-Yeah that was good.
Kiba-Yeah It was great.
Shikamaru-You did good.
Tenten-I liked the song.
Lee-You sung with 1,000 years of youth.
Hinata-Really good Na Na-Chan.
Sasuke smirked at you and Neji smiled at you. You smiled and smirked back.
Ino-What about me.
Sakura-Yeah and me.
You-Oh sorry what do you two think?
Ino-I dont think it was all that good.
Sakura-I know it wasnt. How do you feel?
You-That your approval is not desired or reqiured.
Ino & Sakura-WHAT?!
Shikamaru-Ino Calm down.
Naruto-Yeah . Sakura-Chan
Sakura& Ino-Shut up you idiots!
Ino-What do you mean not desired or required?
You-If you know what desired, not, and required mean then youll know right? Right. Now who wants to-
Sakura-Who do you think you are, chick?!
You-I KNOW WHO I AM CHICKA Im NA NA NASHI. DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE IS THE QUESTION BECAUSE YOU TOO ARE UP SOMEONE ELSES ASS WHEN YOU NEED TO BE GAURDING YOURS TO MAKE SURE I DONT BEAT THEM. AND SHUT THE FUCK UP THE BOY YOU BOTH LIKE DOESNT LIKE YOU TWO. OK I THINK HE WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING SO GROW UP AND SHUT UP OR PUT UP AND SHOW UP AND BOTH OF YOU DONT WANT ANY OF ME, OK PAPI?!
Everyone who was in the section was silent and Sakura and Ino were shocked and silent also. Both stepped away. Soon you heard a beat that sounded and felt like hip hop. You grabbed the nearest boy who happened to be who else but Kiba and walked to the dance floor. He followed scared but amused at the same time. You started dancing and Kiba just followed.
Kiba-That was good.
Kiba-That you told off Ino & Sakura.
You-Oh. Im surprised no one told them off sooner.
Kiba-I guess no one relly wanted to deal with. They can be bitches.
You-Not anymore. Not when Im around anyway.
Kiba-I think everyones gonna like you here.
You-Oh really. Ill enjoy being here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Over the next few days you had became good friends with everyone but Hinata, Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Kiba were among your best friends. Doing the ninja thing was hard but you hadnt really hurt yourself so you were thinking everyone was going easy on you and you didnt mind it either.
Today was Monady you came Thursday so you were fine. You looked around your apartment. It was ok. A living room, Kitchen, small hall,bathroom and bedroom. It was a good size and you felt you needed a companion. You had 2 dogs in 2008 and now it was weird being alone. Not having your mother was bad enough.
You giot up and put on your training altough you were pretty sure you didnt have it. The outfit you wore the first day is yor traing outfit. You walked to the training ground and saw no one there.
You-What a disappointment
Well atleast I can go do something.
You walked through the town for about an hour until you came to a Animal Shelter. You walked in involutarily, something just told you to do it. You walked to the section where the office was.
Counter Lady-Hello. May I help you?
You-Yes. I want to volunter.
Counter Lady-Thats all.
You-Yes but I do want to adopt a
Counter Lady-Well adoption hours are just starting would you like to adopt first then come back tommorow to voluter.
You-Yes maam that is a great idea.
Counter Lady-Well follow me.
You followed her to a place where a little girl was. She explained about the pupies but you werent paying attention. Your interest was on the little girl. She was kind and gentle with all the puppies and kittens. When the lady finished you wanted to speak.
You-May I ask who that is?
Counter Lady-Oh! Thats Maiya. Shes an orphan. Only 5. She refuses to leave here so she is always with the dogs and kittens and sleeps in the office.
You looked at her clothes she was wearing a purple skirt and white shirt it stopped at her knees and had small sleeves and no shoes but you noticed a purple headband in her hair.
You-Oh really. Why dont you guys bring her to the orphanage?
Counter Lady-We did but no one wanted to adopt her so we brought her back.
You-Ok. Well. Can I talk to her?
Counter Lady-Sure. Oh and you can pick your puppy.
You looked at her and went over to her. She didnt look up at you.
No answer
You-My names Na Na.
Once again no answer
You-Whats that puppys name?
Maiya-Mai. I named her after myself but shes shy and stays in the corner of her cage, shes a newborn.
You-Oh ok. Have you ever thought of adopting her?
Maiya-You need someone over 12 to adopt her.
Maiya-I stay by this cage cuz shes the only thing I have. Other than my clothes and headband.*cough* I dont want anyone to adopt her.
You-Oh really. Miss I want this one * pointing to Mai*.
Tears form in Maiyas eyes.
You-Im a ninja so Ill go on missions but while Im gona who will take care of Mai? Oh I know Maiya but how will you know where I live?
Maiya-Oh I know I can stay with you.
She must have caught on.
You-Good Idea!
Maiya was really happy and gave you a hug.
Maiya-Miss Na Na. Thank you!
You-Just Na Na ok.
You-Come on.
The lady had got Mai out and had you sign some papers after all that good jazz you found Mai in Maiyas hand and both of you walking the streets luckily for you by time you both got out it was 3:30. Maiya was next to you clutching your hand in fear while she held Mai with the leash they gave her. You were just walking again and you saw Shikamaru and Chouji on a bench. You tugged on Maiyas arm and she followed you to the bench.
You-So no one wanted to tell me no training today huh?
Shikamaru-Well If youd been paying attention instead of drinking last night I would have told you.
You-Toche Shika.
Chouji-So whos this?
You-Oh this is Maiya.
Chouji-Hey. Is she related to you?
Maiya-Im orphan
Chouji-Im sorry
Maiya-Its ok. Na Na is letting me take care of Mai !
You-Our Puppy.
Chouji-Oh this black one.
You-Yeah. Maiya you wanna go play.
Maiya-May I take Mai with me?
She ran off to play but you kept her in your sight. You plopped down on the bench between Chouji and Shikamaru and laid you head on Shikamarus shoulder.
Shikamaru-You know youre taking on a big responsibility taking her in.
You-Yes Shikamaru. I know.
Chouji-So dont tell me you just picked her up off the street?
You- NO well kinda she was at the Animal Shelter.
Shikamaru-Come on Na Na. You dont know who this girl is.
You-I know shes an orphan who no one wants.
Chouji-But Na Na. This might sound harsh but what does she have to do with you
You-She reminds me of my self at that age and I know the feeling and I refuse to let her suffer anymore than she already has the way I did
It was silent like the moment at the club. A few tears trickled down your face.
In the bushes a pair of eyes were watching and waiting for the right moment to reveal themselves.

(pattern found here)
i painted these $5 canvas bins and they are now in our foyer, holding our scarfs, gloves, and hats.
every instagram lover needs a place to display their favorite IG pictures. black spray paint, a cork for a stamp, and white paint transformed a corkboard into the perfect display.
a piece of driftwood was given new life with some pattern play.
as we were unpacking and organizing our garage, brandon found an old, blank canvas hiding in the corner. inspiration hit me one night after seeing a similar painting on pinterest and i painted our 'hello' painting on the old canvas which now hangs in our foyer.
clearance curtains from lowes. $4. there was much rejoicing.
i'm so in love with this calendar. (design by natasha mileshina)
and the epicenter of all things black and white. our kitchen chalkboard wall.

The Three Piece Suit
Like hats, Chesterfield coats, French-cuffed shirts, spectator shoes and all the goodies that make up classic boulevardier style (anyone for a boutonniere?) the three-piece suit is imbued with a sartorial magic that gives its wearer instant swagger. If you don't know what we're talking about, try one and see what all the fuss is about.
As classic as it gets, but still comparatively rare enough to be an individual style stamp, the three-piece suit deserves a place in every man's wardrobe, and not just in the dead of winter. Our Super 100's Suit Separates are perfect for unpredictable spring weather, come in four colors, and give you the option of piecing together arguably the most formal suit you can wear: a double-breasted with vest. Now that's style to spare.
For another swagger-loaded option that will all but ensure you're the most originally dressed guy at any event, try our Three-Piece Sharkskin Suit, in a wool and silk blend with subtle sharkskin sheen. The vest even comes with lapels for added rakishness.
Our vests, or waistcoats in English tailoring parlance, come with adjustable satin backs for a form-flattering fit. They also offer several optional tricks for the advanced dresser. First off, tradition gently suggests leaving the bottom button undone for a dash of nonchalance. This custom is attributed to Edward VII, who lent his name to the Edwardian era. Next, vests allow you to really arch your necktie, a signature of the most elegant gentlemen. Use a tie bar beneath the vest to give the tie a healthy arch, and note how well the vest frames it.
Finally, vests give you the option of wearing a pocket watch and chain. If you're lucky like me, you've got your grandfather's.
There was a time when vests were needed for an extra layer of warmth in frigid office buildings, and the advent of central heating certainly helped dim their popularity. But Paul Fredrick's modern three-pieces are made from lighter fabrics, allowing you to jump-start your style significantly with little threat of overheating.
And if you do find yourself a bit feeling a bit toasty indoors, simply remove the jacket and show of your well-tailored vest. Then roll up your sleeves and accessorize with billiard cue and a highball.

2 Comments to "The Three Piece Suit"
I recently purchased the Super 100's Wool Classic separates. The quality and presentation of this suit is excellent. I have worn these suits in several different combinations, single breast with and without vest, with cuffed or non-cuffed matching pleated pants. I always receive compliments on my appearance when I am wearing any combination of this suit. I would recommend this suit, no one ever has to know how much you paid, but they will assume from your appearance that you paid much more than you did! Unbeatable value for your money.


text: Maui has a large variety of accommodations. Whether you are looking for a 5 star hotel or a secluded beach bungalow, you can find the perfect place to stay on the Valley Isle. While the majority of the hotels are located in either South Maui (near Kihei and south towards Wailea) or in West Maui (primarily from Lahaina to north beyond Kaanapali); several very nice Inn's, B&B's and a large variety of vacation rentals provide a nice alternative for people who want the true Maui experience without the cost of a luxury hotel.

Can I call out sick from school?!??
Thank God for zofran (and my favorite pharmacist).
A has gotten sick a few times, and we're all run down.
We didn't know it, but the reason she didn't want to sleep; we were up from 3-6 this am; was because this bug had given her a bellyache.
Wish us luck!
P.S. I was stung by a bee today....on my ass.... So I literally had a pain in my ass!

Feds Embrace Open Data
President Barack Obama signed an executive order establishing new standards and rules for open access to US government data. Along with this historic order, the Office of Management and Budget announced a new Open Data policy, spelling out changes in the government's approach for how data is acquired and stored. The US government was once a model for how not to manage data. Private companies were often awarded contracts for massive government studies that would result in mounds of data acquired at taxpayer expense. But the tools for extracting and analyzing the data were proprietary and often maintained by the company itself; and anyone who wanted access had to pay a large service charge. Few standards existed, which compounded the labor cost for anyone who needed to extract the data for academic, personal, or entrepreneurial reasons.

A freshly built machine running Ubuntu 12.10 64bit is hanging under seemingly random conditions. To debug this I've installed linux-crashdump, confirmed that the second kernel is loaded and a simulated crash creates files under /var/crash. However, the real crash does not trigger the crashdump system, no auto-reboot happens and no dump are written out.
Are there some hints about the cause I could glean from the hang not triggering the system? Could something hang a machine in a similar way to a kernel panic?
Normally I'd just strip the machine down to a minimum config and work my way up from there but due to a cramped chassis this would involve re-attaching the CPU cooler a few too many times to my liking. No serial port to dump to console either.

Yesterday, I had the wonderful opportunity of joining the DC Bilingual Public Charter School at the Verizon Center for a visit to observe the Big Cats that the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus incorporates into their current show Built to Amaze.
DC Bilingual is a D.C. Public Charter School Board Performance Management Framework Tier 1 school educating 339 Pre-Kindergarten three through 12th grade pupils. It is an English and Spanish language immersion institution that is part of the CentroNia network of bilingual educational programs. CentroNia was founded in 1986 by B.B. Otero, a well-respected community activist Mayor Vincent Gray appointed after being elected to be his Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services. About 45 extremely enthusiastic and well-behaved DC Bilingual students attended the event with their teachers.
Upon being seated at the venue six of the Big Cats were sitting on steel raised platforms symmetrically positioned inside the perimeter of a ring covered by a metal frame. We felt incredibly privileged to be there because we were the only spectators in the entire arena. The tigers appeared exactly as their name describes; they looked perfectly like the animals people have as pets but at a much grander scale. Joining the Big Cats in the ring was Tabayara "Taba" Maluenda, the tiger's trainer. I would learn later that Mr. Maluenda is the sixth generation of his family to be involved in the circus.
The Master of Ceremonies for the day's event was Mr. Maluenda's wife of 18 years Lucenir 'Lu' Viera de Souza. She asked her husband to describe the training process he goes through with the Big Cats. But when he started speaking into his microphone in English she immediately requested him to switch to Spanish. "After all," Ms. Viera de Souza commented, "We are dealing with students form a bilingual school." Mr. Maluenda then demonstrated to the kids the steps of teaching the tigers how to jump over a rail, offering chunks of high quality steak affixed to the tip of a long pole as rewards for following his instructions.
The students clearly understood every word of what the tiger trainer was saying and they eagerly responded to his remarks, raising their hands when they responded affirmatively to one of his questions. They even had the opportunity to ask him a few questions, again in Spanish.
At the end of the training exercise the press had the chance to talk to the two presenters from the circus. Ms. Viera de Souza explained to me that she and her husband have a wildly busy performance schedule. "We are traveling all year getting a four week break around November to return home," she informed me. While on the road they are joined by their two children, one elementary school age and the other a teenager. "The circus is comprised of about 300 staff members," revealed the tiger trainer's spouse. "When we move across the country our train is the longest in the world at over two miles in length. Among the performers and support people are 30 kids. Barnum & Bailey is the only circus that provides a teacher with the students divided by grade level. There is even a nursery."
I was amazed by the commitment this family had made to their profession. I inquired of Ms. Viera de Souza if it was worth it. "Oh yes," she replied instantaneously. "When you see the smile on the faces of children you realize what a gift you have been given. You realize how fortunate you are to be able to bring a joyous occasion to others."

Influence of a superconducting transition on the macroscopic characteristics of the plasticity of metals and alloys: Fundamental and applied aspects (Review)32(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2147747View Description Hide Description
The results of observations and investigations of a new phenomenon—changes in the macroscopic characteristics of plastic the deformation of metals and alloys at a superconducting transition—are systematized. In these works it is shown for the first time that the electronic drag of dislocations accompanying low-temperature deformation is effective. The main experimental features of the phenomenon—the dependences of the characteristics of the change in plasticity at a superconducting transition on the stress, deformation, temperature, deformation rate, and concentration of the alloying element in the superconductor—and results indicating a correlation between the characteristics of the effect and the superconducting properties are presented. Experiments clarifying the mechanisms of the phenomenon are analyzed. A brief exposition of the theoretical investigations of the electronic drag of dislocations in metals in the normal and superconducting states and the influence of a superconducting transition on the plasticity is given. The theoretical results are compared with the experimental results. Examples of the application of the effect as a new method for investigating the physical mechanisms of low-temperature plastic deformation are presented. The applied aspects of the phenomenon are discussed separately.
Investigation of the structure of a composite condensate for He-II at32(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2160507View Description Hide Description
The ground-statewave function of He-II is calculated in the "two sums over " approximation, i.e. in the form of the Jastrow function and the first correction:where the function is found numerically from the Vakarchuk equation relating and with the structure factor. Knowing , we calculated the amount of single- and two-particle condensates in He-II at ; this is the first derivation of a formula for a two-particle condensate in the "two sums" approximation. The model contains no adjustable parameters or functions. The results for the condensates are strongly dependent on the number of corrections included in the expansion of : in the "single sum" approximation 27% of the atoms are in the single-particle condensate and about 53% of the atoms with momentum are in the two-particle condensate; in the more accurate "two sums" approximation the percentages are 6% and 16%, respectively. For the "two sums" approximation we also found that the higher-order -particle condensates () are absent in He-II at .
Influence of the superfluid transition on the adsorption of thin helium films32(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2161928View Description Hide Description
An approach to the calculation of the chemical potential of a thin helium film in equilibrium with the vapor is proposed. In the calculation of the chemical potential the surface layer of helium atoms in contact with the vapor is treated as a two-dimensional system. The chemical potential of superfluidhelium is approximated by the chemical potential of an ideal two-dimensional Bose gas, while the chemical potential of normal helium contains an additional, temperature-dependent term. This approach leads to the prediction that the thickness of the film will increase at the transition to the superfluid state. It is also predicted that a coexistence of normal and superfluidfilms of different thickness is possible under certain conditions.

Thin films of high- YBCO with frozen strains32(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2160509View Description Hide Description
Strained (YBCO)films of greater than the critical thickness are grown on (100) substrates by the method of laser ablation. The strains are frozen in the films by rapid cooling after deposition. These films have an unusual temperature dependence of the critical current density: a characteristic minimum is observed in the temperature interval 55–57 K. The critical current density decreases from at 77 K to and lower. The films are stable against thermocycling from 300 K to the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. It is concluded on the basis of a scanning tunneling microscope study that a macroscopic structuring of the films occurs, with the formation of strain domains. The size of the domains decreases with increasing degree of strain of the films and is, on average, from 1 to . The penetration of magnetic field into a film with frozen strain differs from the penetration into single-crystal and granular films; this also suggests a macroscopic structuring in the strained films.

Features of the reflection of a bulk TM electromagnetic wave on a nongyrotropic multiferroic slab32(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2161929View Description Hide Description
The anomalies arising in the reflection of a bulk TM wave from the surface of a slab of a nongyrotropic multiferroic on account of anisotropy of the magnetoelectric interaction are investigated for the example of a ferroelectric antiferromagnet in the collinear phase under the condition that the ferroelectric axis is perpendicular to the interface between the media.
Magnetic properties of the singlet antiferromagnet32(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2161931View Description Hide Description
X-ray studies of the magnet have shown that this compound belongs to the monoclinic class with a chain structure. The susceptibility and magnetization of single crystals are investigated experimentally in the temperature region 0.4–100 K and at magnetic fields up to 2 T. The angular dependence of the susceptibility shows that at low temperatures a purely Ising anisotropy is realized in this compound: there exists but one component of the moment, along the axis. The temperature dependence of the susceptibility has a maximum at , and the curve obtained at 0.5 K exhibits substantial nonlinearity at low fields, as is characteristic of an ordered state. Analysis of the experimental data in the mean field approximation suggests that this state is a singlet Ising antiferromagnet with , a value determined from the susceptibility data. At extremely low temperatures a collinear antiferromagnetic structure with equivalent sublattices is realized in the sample, according to estimates made. The high-temperature behavior of the susceptibility is evidence of the presence of an excited quasi-doublet in the vicinity of 35 K.
Stabilizing effect of a harmonized field on the magnetic resonance position32(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2161932View Description Hide Description
An effect wherein the magnetic resonance position is stabilized by a magnetic-field modulation periodic in time is investigated in a two-level system in the density-matrix formalism. An exact solution for the density matrix at resonance is found. It is shown that at resonance the spin-flip transition probability is independent of the shape of the field, i.e., the fundamental resonance is stabilized against a matched variation of the longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields. A differential equation for the transition probability is obtained. The dependence of the time-averaged spin-flip probability an normalized Larmor frequency is investigated numerically for different model parameters with allowance for dissipation and decoherence. It is shown that the resonancelinewidths increase substantially with increasing dissipation and decoherence. The position of the fundamental resonance is independent of the field deformation and the dissipation; only the width of the resonance varies. The odd parametric (multiphoton)resonance transitions are investigated. The static magnetization induced by a harmonized field is examined. This study may find application for analysis of interference experiments, refinement of the design of magnetic spectrometers, and manipulation of qubits.

Features of the Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations of the conductivity of a high-mobility two-dimensional hole gas in a quantum well32(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2161933View Description Hide Description
The Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in a two-dimensional hole gas in a quantum well of pure germanium in a heterostructure with a hole concentration and mobility are investigated in magnetic fields up to 15 T at temperatures from 40 mK to 4 K. The observed deviation from the known relation describing the conductivity oscillations in the Shubnikov–de Haas effect are explained by additional broadening of the Landau levels due to the existence of a nonuniform distribution of the concentration of charge carriers, and, accordingly, of their energy, in the plane of the two-dimensional gas. It is assumed that the latter is due to natural atomic-step variations of the well width. The effective hole mass is determined from the temperature dependence of the oscillation amplitude, and its dependence on magnetic field is used to determine the quantum scattering time and the value of the carrier concentration fluctuations.
One-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional electron systems in nanochannels32(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2161934View Description Hide Description
A study is made of the energy spectrum of electrons localized in cylindrical nanochannels coated by a thick layer of solid hydrogen or neon. The interaction potential of an electron with the surrounding matter is determined. An algorithm, which includes both analytic and numerical calculations, is devised for solving the wave equation. The dependence of the electron energy on the radius of the channel is investigated, and the electron wave functions are determined. The influence of a helium film on the energy state of the electron is considered. It is shown that at channel radii of the order of 50Å the localization of the electron inside the channel is energetically favorable.
Distribution of field-induced charges in fullerite32(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2161935View Description Hide Description
The profile of injected charges in a -based field-effect transistor (FET) is considered. A simple scheme for calculations of the charge distribution between the 2D layers of molecules is founded on a small magnitude of the interball electron hopping. Analytical solutions of the equations for the charge distributions are obtained in the limits of thick and thin crystals. The charge density is shown to drop exponentially with the crystal depth. The calculations predict the relative part of induced charges involved in the surface layer to be and in the cases of electron and hole injection, respectively.

Chautauqua Learn and Serve Charter School is receiving national recognition as a Model Charter School due in large part to it's collaboration with Bay High School.
Teacher Mary Pat Zebroski presented an overview of her program at the 2012 National Best Cooperative Practices Conference in Denver, Colorado last month.
Chautauqua's presentation was one of only 20 featured at the 2012 National Best Cooperative Practices Conference hosted by the National Charter School Resource Center earlier this month. The conference highlighted the best cooperative practices nationwide between charter schools and traditional public schools.
Chautauqua is considered a model charter school due to the positive and impact relationship it has established with the public school district. It fulfills the statutory intent of education innovation.
The Chautauqua presentation, entitled "The Servers, Not the Served," focused on the financial, structural and inclusive relationships that have developed between the student populations of Bay High School and Chautauqua Learn and Serve Charter School.
Bay High School and Chautauqua Learn and Serve Charter School were recognized as having an educational partnership that maximizes the potential of both the gifted and disabled students.
The conference is sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Mary Pat joined Meredith Thursday morning with more on the honor.

Pope Benedict XVI Too Old To Countinue
will leave his ministry at 8:00pm (7pm UK time) on February 28," said Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi.
The reason for the resignation, cited by the Pope himself, is "advanced age".
"After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry," wrote Pope Benedict XVI in a declaration to the public.

It didn't take long for me to unroll the strips so that I could really get a good look at the fabrics...and they're all wonderful and perfect! I love the reds, the pinks, the blues, the greens, the browns, and the soft prints. There is a tonal beige (not pictured here) that goes great with everything...I think I'm going to need a bolt of that one for my stash.
I already had a project in mind...I went through all of my books and patterns looking for the one that would use as much of each strip as possible while showcasing each fabric. And really I had no waste...I already have a project in mind for the few scraps that remained after cutting.
I plan on sewing all the blocks this weekend. Then, I'll have to put them away until September when the fabric becomes available to purchase by the yard (so I can get the border, backing, and binding fabrics). It will be worth the wait, though. This fabric is amazing--really amazing!
Have a wonderful weekend...hope you get to sew!

As Twitter, Facebook, and other forms of social media grow more and more prevalent in society at large, so does their potential importance to scholars and others who aim to understand the world of the early 21st century. In order to reach this potential, archivists, librarians, historians, members of industry, and representatives of government must develop new tools, methods, and standards for preserving social media resources. Organized by the University of Mary Washington (UMW) and the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University, this one-day, unconference-style workshop aims to explore these questions more fully than has been done before and begin formulating some answers. Read more.
You can follow all the discussions with the comments RSS feed, or check out the Archiving Social Media group on Zotero.
Discussions at Archiving Social Media will center around the following six themes:Copyright: Who owns social media content? Ethics: What do we owe the users? Institutions: Whose job is it anyway? Open: What have we missed? Technology: Which tools should we use? Use: War (What is it good for?)

Watch the comments section for updates.
New Book! "The General Theory of Day-Trading"
I'm thinking that today should be like Friday: a narrow-range day that consolidates yesterday's decline.
Watch the comments section for updates.
With the market down so much over the last three trading days, you might think that there is nothing left to short. Not so.
KOL – today I bought some KOL puts. KOL has floated back up to the top of its downtrend channel on light volume. I made money shorting it the last two times it did that. (Here is my first post on KOL.)
GLD – tomorrow I will be looking to buy some GLD puts. GLD has a classic bear-flag pattern on its chart: A high-volume plunge on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, and a low-volume float-up Thursday, Friday, and Monday. It may not be able to get through the resistance at $92. Or if it does, it may be able to float up to its new downtrend line, which you can see by drawing a line from the peaks on July 15th and July 22nd. As long as the volume stays light, I will be looking to short it.
POT – Potash is a great company, but that isn't preventing Apple from getting a beating, right? So, POT is a short too. It spiked down on heavy volume on Thursday, and floated up on light volume Friday and Monday. Another classic bear-flag.
Note: I didn't have time to make charts, but the patterns are very easy to spot as long as you are studied-up on your technical chart analysis.
The market is overbought on the daily chart, and oversold on the hourly chart, so perhaps some low-volume sideways-to-upward consolidation action is in order before the next leg down. I think any move upward is a shorting opportunity.
Does somebody know if the BLS's birth/death calculation is used for the unemployment rate? Gerard? Crash? I'm thinking that maybe the unemployment rate may carry more weight with the market than the actual number of jobs which is now a widely ridiculed statistic.
Watch the comments as I will be posting updates throughout the day.
Some traders dismiss Thursday's big move down because the volume was low. Normally, that would be a good argument because the low volume would indicate that large funds were not dumping shares. But this time, I think the low-volume must be viewed as a negative.
The big funds didn't have to dump stock on Thursday after the nasty unemployment-claims report because they had not bought into the rally off of the July 15th low. That rally was all short-covering. So on Thursday, bids were simply pulled and stocks went into free-fall – the air-pocket.
Air-pockets often appear as rallies lose steam, and are a warning sign that the big dogs are not interested in taking stock at the current level; that there is no bid under the market.
Some traders also dismiss last week's action as mere sideways movement as the S&P 500 was barely changed. That is simply crazy.
After a three-day struggle, the March low was recaptured on Tuesday. On Wednesday morning, SPY registered an "exhaustion gap". On Thursday, the market hit the air pocket and plunged right back through the March low. On Friday, the market could not re-capture the March low, even with an assist from falling oil.
That was not uneventful, inconsequential trading. Hopes were raised high, bulls were sucked into the trap, and then slaughtered.
SPY has now closed below the March intra-day low at $126 for two days in a row. One more day of that and the market will likely roll over again just as it did on July 14th, the last attempt to recapture the March low.
War is being waged over the March low because that is the line-in-the-sand between a banking crisis, and a banking crisis plus a main-street recession.
The rally that was birthed on March 17th was received as proof that the Fed had saved the financial system, and the all-clear had been sounded.
The loss of the March low in July, and the quick recapture, seemed to prove that it was the same old financial crises that our government had once again fixed. Many traders still don't believe the economy is in trouble because of all the cooked economic data like the GDP numbers (which are not properly deflated.)
Thursday's unemployment-claims number had nothing to do with the financial crisis. It came straight from Main Street. And it sent the market back under the psychologically crucial March low.
So, far from being inconsequential, last week's trading may have seen the market's final acceptance that there really is a serious recession going on underneath the tidal wave of election-year propaganda trying to mask the facts.
The market's frantic reaction to Thursday morning's unemployment claims number shows that the market may only be beginning to price in the Main Street recession.
I am 98% in cash now, and 2% short the SPX, but I will be looking to increase my short positions soon.
You probably heard about Chrysler no longer offering auto leases. However, the story goes much deeper. Chrysler had no choice to stop the leasing because the banks that loan them the money pulled the plug.
(This is the Wall Street Journal's story, so that's were you want to read up about it.)
As the value of gas-guzzlers plunge, the banks are worried about how well the leases will hold their value. So, they are reluctant to make auto leases for the same reason they are reluctant to make mortgages: deflation.
July 2008 may be the beginning of the shift from inflation to deflation as the intensifying credit contraction tightens its death grip upon the economy. The prices of just about everything are falling now: real estate, SUV's, natural gas (UNG), oil (USO), commodities (DBC), and of course, stocks.
When credit tightens, the prices of just about everything must fall.

Electronic and computer music pioneer Laurie Spiegel shared this 'lost' video interview from 1984. Continue reading
Tag Archives: Max Mathews
Jon Appleton Demos The Synclavier II
Max Mathews, Computer Music Pioneer, R.I.P.
I found out today, via synthesist Matthew Davidson, that computer music pioneer Max Mathews died today.
Mathews (November 13, 1926 – April 21, 2011) is considered by many to be the father of computer music. Here's what he had to say about his role as a computer music pioneer:
"Computer performance of music was born in 1957, when an IBM 704 in NYC played a 17 second composition on the Music I program, which I wrote. The timbres and notes were not inspiring, but the technical breakthrough is still reverberating.
Music I led me to Music II through V. A host of others wrote Music 10, Music 360, Music 15, Csound and Cmix. Many exciting pieces are now performed digitally.
The IBM 704 and its siblings were strictly studio machines – they were far too slow to synthesize music in real-time. Chowning's FM algorithms and the advent of fast, inexpensive, digital chips made real-time possible, and equally important, made it affordable."
Starting with the Groove program in 1970, my interests have focused on live performance and what a computer can do to aid a performer. "
The video above captures Matthews at the Computer History Museum in 2007, presenting his rendition of Bicycle Built For Two. While the vocal synthesis and electronic sounds in the work are unsurprising now, they would have been mind-blowing when Matthews made the arrangement in 1961.
"What we have to learn is what the human brain and ear thinks is beautiful," said Mathews.
What do we love about music? What about the acoustic sounds, rhythms and harmony do we love?" he continues. "When we find that out it will be easy to make music with a computer."

On Monday, the Associated Press reported that the Obama administration admits it has released an untold number of illegal immigrant families in the interior of the United States. Worse yet, the AP said, while the administration knows how many have been released, it refuses to reveal that number to the public.
Administration officials directly familiar with the issue -- including those with the Department of Homeland Security -- have dodged questions about the issue at least seven times in a two-week period, the AP added. According to the AP, officials alternated between saying they didn't have the number or or didn't have the information immediately available.
"We will get back to you," a Homeland Security deputy secretary told the AP on Friday. Administration officials did not respond to inquiries about the issue on Monday.
The AP further said the number of those released into the interior is believed to exceed 40,000 since October. Many of the families are believed to have arrived from Central America and cannot be immediately repatriated.
"So," the AP added, "the government has been releasing them into the U.S. interior and telling them to report within 15 days to the nearest U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement offices."
But the administration has been unwilling to say exactly how many of those families have been released, or if any of them have actually reported back to the government after 15 days as directed. Even White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest has been either unable or unwilling to provide any answers.
"I don't have those numbers here," he told reporters Friday, "but what I do have is a clear commitment from this administration to deal with what is an emerging humanitarian situation."
Making matters even worse, a a federal request for vendors to "escort" thousands of illegal juveniles originally posted in January make it appear as thought the administration knew well in advance there would be a huge influx of illegal immigrants. When asked about the posting, ICE spokeswoman Barbara Gonzalez confirmed the posting was authentic but refused to provide any additional details, telling The Blaze she would get back to them when more information becomes available.
"Well, look at how they lied and covered up the fact that ICE released 36,000 illegal aliens with criminal convictions in 2013. Remember that? There were murderers and rapists in that release. So why should it surprise us when they refuse to tell us about releasing families," Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday. "The Regime has a government to grow. The Regime has a party to grow here, and they're gonna do it one way or another."
A statement released by the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers calls the flood of illegal immigrants "orchestrated and contrived" by political leaders looking to use the children for pure political purposes.
"Certainly, we are not gullible enough to believe that thousands of unaccompanied minor Central American children came to America without the encouragement, aid and assistance of the United States Government. Anyone that has taken two six to seven year old children to an amusement park can only imagine the problems associated with bringing thousands of unaccompanied children that age up through Mexico and into the United States," the statement adds.
"In speaking with my Border Patrol sources and given my own expertise, there is no way this flood of illegal aliens could've been accomplished by mere 'children,' let alone small alien smuggling organizations," said Andy Ramirez, a recognized national expert on border security who has testified before Congress and other government bodies. "This is a major operation that requires logistical support, and that is well beyond snakehead capabilities."
