College Hockey:Hellebuyck leads River Hawk repeat, five in NCAA field and a somewhat unfortunate pairing at Big Dance
Connor Hellebuyck was a brick wall. That's all you need to know about this past weekend in Hockey East.
1. Double shutout leads River Hawks to back-to-back title
You can't win if you can't score. That was the simple lesson learned by both Notre Dame and New Hampshire at the Hockey East Championship this weekend. The reason neither the Irish nor the Wildcats could find the back of the net was Massachusetts-Lowell's Connor Hellebuyck. The sophomore netminder was simply phenomenal for the River Hawks making tough saves look easy all weekend. Hellebuyck became the first ever back-to-back tournament MVP, earning the vote this year unanimously.
2. Hockey East gets record five teams in field
There were a few tense moment of watching and waiting this weekend for Hockey East teams on the NCAA bubble but at the end the at-large bubble burst for only one team – Northeastern. All of the remaining teams with at-large hopes made the field: Boston College, Lowell, Notre Dame, Vermont and Providence. New Hampshire knew coming into the weekend it had to win the Hockey East title and got to the doorstep but couldn't upset Lowell. The five teams in the NCAA field ties for the most Hockey East has placed in a field (2007).
3. League's "two best teams" in same region
The immediate reaction of Commissioner Joe Bertagna when shown Saturday night what I expected would be the field (and was correct) was that it was disappointing to have what most consider Hockey East's two best teams – Lowell and BC – in the same region. BC, the regular season champ, and Lowell, the postseason title holder, will be joined by WCHA champion Minnesota State and NCHC champ Denver making the Worcester regional arguably the most difficult of the four. You have to believe whatever team comes out of the Northeast Region will be the favorite to win the national title.

Current desktop operating systems now allow users to input characters in many languages using the standard U.S. (English) keyboard. Using this feature, you can easily type diacritics and characters not used in Roman (Latin) alphabet languages without the use of additional software or remembering multiple key sequences.
Please understand that while your operating system may support multiple language input, your software application may have limitations. For example, email applications designed for English-language speakers may handle diacritics for European languages, but may not allow you to type Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese or Korean characters. On the other hand, an application such as MS-Word 2000 supports virtually any language. Any software application that claims support for Unicode should be able to handle input in any language.
1. Click here for a step by step guide to select the languages you want to be able to use. Although geared to those needing Asian character-based languages, the instructions here are applicable to any language. Only Windows XP supports built-in language input options, but information is also provided for users of Windows 95/98/2000/NT.
NOTE: The directions on the above discuss selecting Chinese and Japanese. For Korean, choose "Korean" under Input Language and choose "Korean Input IME Standard 2002" under Keyboad Layout/IME. This allows you to input Korean characters with Hanja (Chinese characters).
2. Once step 1 is complete, your selected languages appear by clicking the Language icon on the Windows TaskBar. The icon is a rectangle with the characters of your default language input option, most likely EN (English).
3. To test, open an application, e.g., MS-Word, in which you want to type in a foreign language. Click the Language icon and select a language, e.g. German. Now return to your application. When you press a key, you will produce the character assigned to that key for the selected language. Depending upon the language, the character produced may or may not be the same as the character shown on the key itself. For example, by selecting German, pressing the key for a single quote ( ' ) produces the letter "a" with an umlaut ( ä ). Once you switch back to English, pressing the key for a single quote ( ' ) produces the single quote.
4. In order to view the keyboard mapping for a
language*, click:
Start>All Programs>Accessories>Accessibility>On-Screen Keyboard
The default layout is for a U.S. (English) keyboard; the layout will change as you shift focus into applications set for different languages. Or you can change the language for the On-Screen Keyboard (an application itself) by clicking the Language icon and selecting a language. The On-Screen Keyboard's window is a pop-up that works on top of your application window. This means you can use your mouse to click a key to produce a character in your open document. Some users have reported problems with the On-Screen Keyboard. As an option, the Microsoft Visual Keyboard is available as a free download (search for "visual keyboard" on the Office download site). This performs the same functions as the On-Screen Keyboard and also operates as a pop-up.
*For Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK), the keyboard layout looks like the standard U.S. (English) keyboard because, of course, there is no one-to-one equivalency between a Roman (Latin) alphabet character and a CJK character. To input CJK characters, type the transliterated form. Once a sequence of Roman (Latin) alphabet characters has been entered, the CJK character appears. For example, type the Pinyin "dao" (three letters) to produce the one Chinese character. (Note: this assumes that you have selected a Pinyin input method (IME) when adding a language input.)
5. Changing the language input option affects only the current application in focus. For example, if you are using Mozilla with Chinese, this does not affect Eudora--it will use either your default input option (probably English) or the one you previously selected. Once you close and then reopen an application, it will always revert to the default language input option. The Language icon on the Windows TaskBar always changes to the language input option of the application currently in focus. You can, within one application, switch back and forth between or among input options, e.g., you can type a document using English as your input option, switch to French to type a title with diacritics, and then switch back to English.
1. Open System Preferences.
2. In the Personal section, select International.
3. Select the Input Menu tab.
4. Check any input methods you wish to be available, e.g. Simplified or Traditional Chinese.
5. Check the box marked "Show input menu in menu bar".
6. The icon for your default input method will appear toward the right of the menu bar--a U.S. flag if your defaultis U.S. English.
7. If desired, click Options and check the box marked "Try to match keyboard with text." This will try to match the keyboard layout to the input method.
8. To change input options, click the input method icon and
select a language.
The icon changes to the selected language.

For more than a year, NASCAR and other U.S. racing sanctioning bodies' tech inspectors have been:
1.Randomly cutting into ignition control boxes confirming the internals are legit;
2. Extracting car wiring harnesses and checking each wire's origin and destination;
3. Disassembling tachometers, looking for "extra" electronics inside;
4. Applying engine seals to wiring connectors to detect if they've been unplugged;
5. Using high-frequency sound detection equipment to monitor engine sounds on track; and
6. Enacting post-race "claiming" of ignition controls from racers.
These are just some of the countermeasures inspectors have employed in their quest to control the spread of Electronic Traction Control (ETC), and they're about to be stepped up.
We might soon see wiring harness routing and mounting regulated where all of it (about 30 feet total in a typical Cup car) has to be out in the open for inspection along with the ignition controls; say placing them on top of the dash. You can assume the wiring harness will not be within reach of the driver, either.
In a highly unusual move for such a close-to-the-vest organization, NASCAR has gone public about its search and reveal mission for clandestine traction enhancing electronics. The very public grumbling from some major NASCAR competitors and team owners in its top three divisions, which alluded to ETC aiding and abetting some racers' performance, needed some tempering, or at the least major spin-doctoring. The credibility of the organization was being called into question. It prides itself on being a series of drivers, not microprocessors, and they are not about to allow microprocessor regulation of engine power to assist traction.
The first spin-control salvo was at the Martinsville spring Winston Cup race in 2002, where majordomo Mike Helton placed racers on alert in their drivers' meeting by brandishing a couple of ETC devices NASCAR had procured. He made it clear his inspection force was on the prowl and the penalties would be appropriately high for anyone caught with it.
Then, at the Pepsi 400, all the top NASCAR brass, from Bill France Jr. on down, attended an innocent sounding "Competition Update" press conference before the race. It was to inform the media that NASCAR was on top of this perceived ETC problem, and to indicate it was going to step up its rules and inspection measures.
Head Winston Cup inspector John Darby reiterated the penalty for getting caught with ETC would likely be the most severe ever in NASCAR. The threat of making the record book as the team/sponsor receiving the largest fine or suspension or points penalty in NASCAR history is the prime deterrent NASCAR has. Nevertheless, you can take to the bank that NASCAR wouldn't expend all this inspection and public relations effort to catch an electronic "boogeyman" if it weren't in use.
ETC Is NationwideClandestine ETC use is not confined to the upper reaches of U.S. touring series; it is pervasive in U.S. racing even to the grassroots level. In my researching and writing about ETC over the past two years, sources racing in Winston Cup, Busch Grand National, DIRT Modifieds, Silver Crown, dirt Late Models, big-block pavement Late Models, IMCA-type Modifieds, and other racing series have acknowledged the use of ETC. The technology is even making its tentative way into boat racing, where engine power is being modulated based on rpm "jitter."
The basic physics and tactics of the microprocessor management of tire slip are well developed. Many high-performance passenger cars have ETC, and the cost of miniaturization and packaging of electronic sensing and microprocessor controlling components has become impressively affordable. So affordable that an electronic specialist can buy off-the-shelf components and build ETC-whether for sale on the open market, or for use in-house for a race team.

Restoring KDE Session on SUSE SLES 9 after installing SRSS
By bhlackey on Aug 17, 2007
Installing SRSS on one of the supported versions of Linux requires us to deliver a different version of GDM. The version delivered, and most recent GDM builds, contain the hooks necessary to create and destroy other Xsessions/Xservers on the fly. As you could probably understand, this is necessary for SRSS.
SLES is distributed with KDM for managing sessions. Unfortunately, we havn't been focused on testing/updating/pushing to get KDM to do what is necessary for SRSS. This is why we install GDM on SLES.
The default gdm.conf only looks for gnome session types, which on SLES 9 is VERY old. If you are installing on SLES, you probably want KDE.
To restore the option to use a KDE session, edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
un-comment this line:
And change this line:
The final step is to make kde.desktop accessible to GDM:
mv /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/kde.desktop.notused /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/kde.desktop
That's it...

This had to be one of the coolest Altered's of the 70's at Firebird. Brothers Keith (driver) and Ken (crew chief) Grondahl ran this tough runnin' B/Altered Mustang at the `74 Grand American race in Modified eliminator. Members of the long-time Heap Herders club (check the club plaque on the tail end) this dude not only had no side or rear (plexi) glass, but it also had one oversized set of rear tires to help keep the power down to the ground. The Mustang was called "Hoss Style" and was one bad hombre. Today, Ken's son Scott competes from time-to-time on either a Bike or a Sled in the Pro Snow/Bike class.

Greg Sirb, longtime executive director of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission, has declared war on Germany, or at least that country's boxing commission.
Sirb, who served as president of the United States-based Association of Boxing Commissions from 1992 to '98, is incensed that 47-year-old former WBC heavyweight champion Oliver "The Atomic Bull" McCall, who was on medical suspension in the U.S., nonetheless was allowed to fight on May 16 in Frankfurt, Germany, where he lost a 10-round, unanimous decision to unbeaten Italian southpaw Francesco Pianeta, who is 20 years McCall's junior.
"It's ridiculous," an obviously miffed Sirb said from his office in Harrisburg, Pa. "It's been an issue with Germany for some time now. I'm going to bring it up at the ABC meeting (July 21-25 in Clearwater, Fla.) and tell all our state commissioners we shouldn't be sending fighters over there anymore. "
The always opinionated Sirb, in fact, isn't disposed to cool his heels while waiting to make his case to representatives of the world governing bodies, who have been invited to attend the ABC confab. Known for his ringside feistiness and disinclination to back down from any fight, Sirb has fired off a volley of emails to officials around the country and the world alerting them to a situation he believes should be addressed immediately. That email reads:
As per the Oliver McCall fight in Frankfurt, Germany, on May 12, 2012, Mr. McCall was under medical suspension from the Mohegan Sun Athletic Commission since Nov. 11, 2011, for a serious medical condition.
This is at least the third time the German Boxing Commission has allowed an American boxer to compete in their country while under medical suspension. As world boxing groups, I really think it is time to STOP sanctioning any title fights in Germany.
This is maybe the only pressure that will make this group take notice of how serious the situation is. No more title bouts – at least until they comply with a basic RULE that if a boxer is on medical suspension, they cannot fight.
It is simple when you have any U.S. fighter competing in a foreign country. It should be the responsibility of that foreign boxing commission to request a Fight Fax so that they can determine that boxer's accurate record and if that boxer is under any type lf suspension.
At the upcoming ABC meeting I will be instructing all members NOT to comply with any requests from the German Boxing Commission. This commission has totally ignored the national suspension list and has put one too many boxers at risk.
Of course, Sirb's tough talk is likely to fall upon more than a few deaf ears. Although there are American laws on the books to protect the interests and physical well-being of fighters –specifically the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act and Professional Boxing Safety Act – the provisions of those laws lack real teeth and are enforced more or less the same as those prohibiting jaywalking and spitting on the sidewalk.
Sirb's position is that, to truly serve the sport and its participants, those laws already in place need to consist of something more than commendable words, and – you have heard this before – a federal boxing commission with far-reaching powers needs to be created.
"You have to have uniform physicals, uniform medical standards, uniform contractual agreements and a place where all contracts and documentation can be registered in one place," Sirb said. "You need to show an ID cards, to pass your medicals, to have insurance. Those should be basic requirements if you're going to have boxing in your state, or anywhere."
Sounds reasonable, but the realization of Sirb's vision would require the clearing of a veritable minefield of complications that reformers have been unable to agree on for at least the last half-century, and likely would be unable to resolve even if there was a consensus reached by boxing's movers and shakers.
In this election year, with the U.S. national debt approaching $17 trillion dollars, taxes on the rise and basic goods and services being slashed at every level of government, would American citizens dare to accept the creation of still another federal bureaucracy? And if a nation commission were to come into existence, is there any assurance it could be prevented from becoming politicized, to the possible detriment of fighters?
"It may not be the right political climate, but from the information I've seen, a national boxing commission could pay for itself very easily," said Sirb, who has retained his position under Republican and Democratic governors of Pennsylvania. "Of course, you'd still have to have state commissions. There's no way a national commission could do meat-and-potatoes work in, say, Iowa. But you could have a uniform set of rules and a central agency to ensure that there were enforced.
"I hear people say, `A national commission will ruin boxing.' No, it won't. It can only make it better."
Getting back to the matter of Germany's non-observance of U.S. medical suspensions, Sirb is enough of a realist to understand that fighters such as McCall will still want to ply their trade there, because the sport is hugely popular in the European nation and the better paydays on the other side of the Atlantic are perceived as being worth the risk.
"Guys get paid well to fight over there," Sirb conceded. "It's professional boxing. You want to fight for the biggest purses you can command. But although there is no hard and fast set of rules that will be perfectly fair to everyone, and a lot of areas that need to be judged on a case-by-case basis, the one line that should never be crossed is the one regarding observance of medical suspensions. Boxing is not tiddlywinks. You never should take unnecessary chances with fighters' lives and health.
"If the German commission is going to allow people to fight while on medical suspension, they might as well disband. It's a horrible situation. We get pretty good cooperation from the boxing commissions of most other countries. I don't know what the freakin' problem is with Germany."
hey sirb here is your rifle,ammo, and parachute good luck. oliver mccall can do whatever oliver mccall wants in germany. if germany finds him ready to fight then its on them. how bout you pay more attention to the crooked judges and under the table payouts in your great state of philly. the home of bring your own beer to the strip club is ok with me.
a federal boxing commission with far-reaching powers needs to be created." maybe a short guy with a lil mustace can head the new all powerful federal commision and round people up . f that idea.
The Atomic Bull has a right to fight under the "Disability Act." Later for a demigod, corrupted commissioner who thinks that he is the BIG and powerful ALL MIGHTY.
A little high-blood pressure, and a whole lot of other syet of aging, would not stop McCall from going to war and getting injured or kill. Greg Sirb is hating because his sorry arse cannot possible do half of what the Atomic Bull does. Still nobody has given the Atomic Bull a beaten yet in the man's whole career. Dude been fudged up mentally, but physically, he's aight. Holla!
deepwater declares war on sirb. here is a little tidbit of of google from a boxer mr sirb screwed over. you see ,sirb wants to be the big boss under the cover of looking out for fighters. the thing is once this sirb guy gets power look how they act.="when I asked Dr. Bojorquez if I could be medically cleared to accept another fight in two weeks -- on March 21 -- his response was, "You could fight next weekend if you had to."
That, Mr. Sirb, is why your decision to suspend me is inexplicable. In fact, I have yet to receive a logical or reasonable explanation of the decision you have made. Your claim of always looking out for a boxers health and well being echoes in my ear, and I appreciate and commend all commissioners who truly care about the well being of a boxer. But, in this case I feel you have overstepped your boundaries and undermined the medical profession.
Your random and capricious suspension cost me an opportunity to earn money I desperately need by participating in a fight this coming Saturday night, March 21, at The Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, Calif. Furthermore, your decision has cost the California promoter money (my airline ticket already has been purchased) and headaches (he now must find a suitable 11th-hour replacement for me on his card). Finally, your decision has damaged my reputation in a sport in which a boxer's reputation is crucial: I accepted this fight, I promised to be there and be ready, and now -- because of your baseless decision, and through no fault of my own -- I cannot live up to my commitment.
Equally disturbing, Mr. Sirb, is this: When I called you to discuss the matter, you informed me that your decision cannot be appealed. You backtracked on that statement after I pointed out that I already had researched my right to appeal -- which, as you well know, and knew when you made the statement -- appears in Article 12 of The Boxer's Bill of Rights.
After I referred you to Article 12 of The Boxer's Bill of Rights, I pointed out that your decision conflicts with the judgment of the medical doctor who examined me on the night of the fight and expressed to you that your erroneous ruling threatened my right to earn a living this coming Saturday night, March 21, in California, you made the following statements to me:
"Do you expect me to call a hearing every time a boxer wants to fight while on suspension?"
My answer to you was, "No, but I think certain circumstances do warrant special attention. I have presented you with every piece of information to point out the error in your decision to suspend me. So, yes, I do think this is a circumstance that warrants an urgent response."
Since I have yet to receive that response, Mr. Sirb, and here I sit, one day before the California weigh-in, in my home state of Missouri, having missed today's pre-paid 6 a.m. flight to California.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Although there are a number of screen readers available for persons with visual impairments, WMU has chosen to use and support JAWS for Windows, a well-established screen reading software by freedom scientific. The following instructional materials are specific to JAWS only. There are, however, many common elements described below that can be applied for use with other screen reading software such as Non-Visual Desktop Access, Window Eyes, and Apple Voiceover.
JAWS version 11.0 or 12.0 is recommended for use with Windows Vista and Windows 7. In this case, Internet Explorer 8 and 9 will produce the best user experience. JAWS version 10.x is recommended for those using windows XP. In this case, Internet Explorer 8 is recommended.
JAWS for Windows allows blind users to navigate the web using a number of different web elements. For example, a JAWS user can evoke a command that will allow him or her to view only the unvisited links on a web page. Similarly, a user can also choose to view only the HTML headings, form fields, graphics, lists, and so forth. Because a blind student cannot use a mouse, navigation by these web elements allows users to gain access to different parts of a web page in an effective and organized way.
Elearning has an accessibility setting that will make interacting with pop-up windows for JAWS easier.
You can set that preference by logging into Elearning. On the left side of the screen is a box labeled "My Settings." The second link underneath it is "Preferences."
Clicking on "Preferences" will bring up a series of tabs. Click on the second tab from the left which is labeled "Appearance & Accessibility." There are some Font settings on that screen, followed by a section labeled "Dialog Setting." There are a couple radio buttons that let you choose whether the secondary windows appear as either Dialogs or Pop-Ups.
For JAWS users, selecting the "Pop-Ups" option will make JAWS work most effectively with various pop-ups within D2L.
Web developers often begin sections or areas of a web page by using different levels of HTML headings. Many areas of the D2L environment are conveniently divided into headings. Students can jump to the beginning of these areas using the following JAWS commands:
As with headings, students may jump to other specific controls or elements in the D2L environment using JAWS commands. Students can navigate a web page using buttons, Checkboxes, combo boxes, and radio buttons by using the following commands:
- When not in forms mode, pressing the letter 'b' will move the JAWS virtual cursor forward through a web page by button.
- Pressing SHIFT + B will move the JAWS virtual cursor backwards through a web page by button.
- Pressing INSERT + F5 will bring up a list of buttons and other form fields on the current web page.
- Once the desired button is found, it may be activated by pressing the space bar.
Check Boxes
- When not in forms mode, pressing the letter 'x' will move the jaws virtual cursor forward through a web page by check box.
- Pressing SHIFT + X will move the JAWS virtual cursor backwards through a web page by check box.
- Pressing INSERT + F5 will bring up a list of checkboxes and other form fields on the current web page.
- The state of a check box (checked or unchecked) can be toggled by pressing the space bar.
Combo Boxes
- When not in forms mode, pressing the letter 'C' will move the JAWS virtual cursor forward through a web page by combo box.
- Pressing SHIFT + C will move the JAWS virtual cursor backwards through a web page by combo box.
- Pressing INSERT + F5 will bring up a list of combo boxes and other form fields on the current web page.
- To manipulate a combo box, JAWS must be in forms mode. Forms mode is explained below in greater detail. Once in forms mode, the choices in a combo box may be selected by pressing the up and down arrow keys.
Radio Buttons
- When not in forms mode, pressing the letter 'R' will move the JAWS virtual cursor forward through a web page by radio button.
- Pressing SHIFT + R will move the JAWS virtual cursor backwards through a web page by radio button.
- Pressing INSERT + F5 will bring up a list of radio buttons and other form fields on the current web page.
- A radio button may be selected by pressing the space bar.
Edit Boxes
Edit boxes are a type of form field that allow the user to enter text into a web page. They are used frequently throughout the internet. Edit boxes in the D2L environment accept a variety of information. An example of an edit box used in D2L is the search field on the D2L home page.
JAWS only allows users to type into an edit box when it is in forms mode. Once in forms mode, all characters typed on the keyboard are entered into the edit box. When not in forms mode, characters typed on the keyboard function as keyboard shortcuts that move the user around a web page by different web elements (described above.)
JAWS versions 10.0 and above place the user in forms mode automatically when an edit box or combo box is encountered. When JAWS enters forms mode, the user is notified by a high-pitched, Popping sound. When JAWS exits forms mode, a lower-pitched popping sound can be heard. At times, automatic forms mode does not function properly and the user is not placed in forms mode when jumping to or otherwise encountering an edit box or combo box. In this case, the user must use the up and down arrow keys when in proximity of the edit box until the high pitched, popping sound is heard.
While the average user is often unaware of HTML tables, the proficient JAWS user encounters and uses them frequently while on the internet. HTML tables are a way for web developers to display information on a web page in an organized way. A good example of an HTML table in the D2L environment is the calendar that is displayed when opening the calendar tool. The days of the week function as column headers and are located at the top of the table. The numbered days of the month are each in a separate cell within the table. the following JAWS commands should be used when working with HTML tables:
- When not in forms mode, pressing the letter 't' will move the jaws virtual cursor forward through a web page by table.
Pressing SHIFT + T moves the JAWS virtual cursor backwards through the web page by table.
To navigate a table using JAWS, CTRL + ALT + the Arrow Keys will move the JAWS cursor up, down, left and right by individual cell. JAWS reads the cells aloud as they are encountered. For example, if the user wishes to read the cells in a single row of a table, pressing CTRL + ALT + RIGHT ARROW will move the JAWS virtual cursor sequentially along the row by cell in the right direction.
Graphics are yet another way a JAWS user may navigate a web page. D2L consistently uses graphics to represent a variety of controls and icons. The graphics are properly labeled so that when they are encountered by a screen reader, the function of the graphic and/or what it represents is read aloud by JAWS. For example, there are graphics located throughout the D2L Home page that allow users to collapse or expand the widgets. A JAWS user can interact with these graphics by pressing the space bar once they have located and moved the JAWS to the desired graphic. The following commands can be used to navigate a web page by graphic:
As with virtually all web pages, the D2L environment is full of links which can perform a number of different tasks. the JAWS user can activate a visited or unvisited link by navigating to the desired link and pressing the space bar. When the link is successfully activated, a clicking sound can be heard. JAWS users can navigate a webpage using links in the following ways:
JAWS supports reading text in a variety of ways. Once the user has navigated to a section of text within the D2L environment, The following JAWS commands can be used to read and review the text (NOTE: the commands below must be performed on the number pad of a standard keyboard. Num Lock must be turned off in order for these commands to work.)
In order to ensure discussion forums are accessible with JAWS:
Reading Style will maximum JAWS compatibility and ease of use by placing all of the discussion threads on one HTML page. The default setting, "Grid Style," displays discussions in multiple frames that are not fully compatible with JAWS.
Students must be able to access their WMU e-mail to successfully participate in e-learning. Students using JAWS or other screen reading software are encouraged to use an email client such as Microsoft Outlook or Windows Live mail as these programs are less difficult to navigate than web based email. If a student must use web based mail, it is strongly suggested that the mobile version of WMU's email service is utilized.
The mobile version of WMU's web-based email can be accessed by visiting the following link: http://webmail.wmich.edu
After entering their BroncoNET ID and password, students must select "mobile" from the version selection box below the BroncoNET and password fields.
Once logged in, students should use the JAWS navigation commands listed above to read and organize email in the mobile view. There are also hotkeys built into the mobile view that help to facilitate quick and efficient movement. The hotkeys are spoken aloud when encountering an element containing a hotkey. Most hotkeys use a combination of the ALT key, the SHIFT key, and a third key which is usually a letter or number that represents the respective control.
A final note about the mobile version of WMU's email system: users cannot directly download or upload attachments in this version. Students must work with attachments that have been previously stored in their Briefcase. Access to the briefcase is limited to an interface that is only available through the standard version of WMU's email system.
Microsoft introduced a new kind of notification bar in this version of Internet Explorer. It appears as a gold and white bar at the bottom of a webpage where information is displayed about the status of your browser, a webpage, or a download. It usually provides you with one or more actions you can take, such as Open or Save, and then disappears if you navigate away from a webpage. When downloading a file, the user will no longer be prompted with a system dialogue box asking what to do with the file. The choices now appear in the notification bar.
A JAWS user can interact with the notification bar by pressing the key combination ALT + N. In JAWS versions 12.x and 13.x, an alert is spoken by JAWS when the notification bar requires the users attention. Sometimes, however, the alert may be inadvertently silenced by the user, or may not be heard for some unknown reason. Therefore, it is important to interact with the notification bar anytime a download is started or if the browser is performing unexpectedly.

What does the Abraham-Hicks "Vortex" (or "Grid") and the "Flow" have in common? A lot, actually. They're both ways of describing a fundamental energy of the universe, our relationship to it, and our ability to either move with or against this current either forward into creating or backward into resisting.
Abraham sets the framework. I live and work in this framework, and I teach others how to use it in their lives, using something I call "Flowdreaming." I've noticed that a lot of people feel like they KNOW all the ideas and "Laws" (such as the Law of Attraction, the Law of Allowing, etc.), but they can't figure out how to actually apply them continuoulsy and effortlessly.
"Go with the flow of Well-Being" — from The Astonishing Power of Emotions, by Jerry and Esther Hicks (Abraham-Hicks)
If you're looking for a way to put the teachings of Abraham-Hicks into practice, or further your skills with the Law of Attraction or manifesting, then this website will help you tremendously. You'll also notice that much of what I've created here is completely free.
This is because my goal—one of my life purposes—is to share this knowledge with the world, not make buck off it, and by being here, you've identified yourself this very instant as the very next person to discover and be impacted by this work, called Flowdreaming.
Think about that. Flowdreaming is hard to find. It doesn't have a publicity budget. I have no marketing staff. I don't spam. You're here because you got the word, somehow... and that's for a reason.
Flowdreaming is a technique that will allow you to not just BE in the power of your vortex, but actually direct and shape it through your emotional desires in real-time.
We move from "knowing" to "doing." The technique is easy, natural, and straight-forward, but contains infinite depth and power. In fact, after more than a decade of concentrated practice, I've yet to discover the full power or depth of it.
Something is going on in your life that you need to fix, grow, change, or develop. I can teach you how to do this with the Universe on your side.

A little background....
I inherited my first set of Abraham Hicks cassettes in 1991. They came as hand-duplicated tapes, which Jerry Hicks himself was making and distributing. The hand-typed cassette stickers included titles like "Great Awakening and Blanding" (mistyped, I love it!), "Segment Intending," "Law of Allowing," "Joyous Survival," and so many more.
I remember watching Esther channel Abraham in a small courtyard in a San Diego hotel. She had a funny, halting accent. There were maybe 50 of us there, no chairs. We just stood and listened, transfixed by an example of "channeling," a hot trend at the time.
I had no idea then that what I was hearing would end up becoming integral to my own life path, and that I, too would be charged with spreading very similar ideas worldwide some twenty years in the future. I was in school at the time to become an opera singer—not a teacher of metaphysics.
I put the cassettes down (and out of my life) for the next 15 years, only to encounter them all over again in a much larger setting, and oddly, I discovered that I was singing their same message, albeit with a twist.
It turns out that we'd been working along parallel streams all that time. I talked about "blueprints," Abraham-Hicks talked about "grids." I talked about "flow," they talked about "vibration" and "alignment."
This is how life works, isn't it? The odd, life-changing coincidence? The seredipitous set of events that lead you full circle? Our paths often find us and not the other way around. Let me back up a bit....
"The Source Energy that created your world continues to flow forth to you and through you...." — from The Vortex, by Jerry and Esther Hicks (Abraham-Hicks)
Years went by after meeting them in the courtyard, and my career changed several times from opera to journalism, to art to radio. Before long, I was co-hosting a weekly radio program on Sirius/XM satellite radio with Dr. Wayne Dyer.
Louise Hay (You Can Heal Your Life) was my boss. I flew around the world on business and handled a million dollar budget. I directed a huge department in one of the largest mind/body/spirit publishing companies in the world. And above all, unknown to me, I was being trained—given the equivalent of an MBA—for the REAL work the Flow had in mind for me. (Thank you, Flow!!)
By this time, I was personally interviewing the Hicks in lengthy online seminars hosted by an online radio network that I'd created—Hay House Radio—still with no intention of ever sharing my own quiet little methods for manifesting. Why should I?! Life was too rich and amazing as it was! And besides, with teachers like Abraham already out there, what I could possibly have to share?
And then, unfathomably, the little personal practice I'd been doing for years (my own personal way of talking to God and shaping my future, which had clearly been working!) erupted onto the world stage as the art of Flowdreaming.
At first, I actually resisted.
"Things that were formerly a struggle will seem to flow effortlessly...." — from The Vortex, by Jerry and Esther Hicks (Abraham-Hicks)
My first book was released with NO publicity. Not a single press release, interview, or even help from a PR person from the very publishing house for which I worked. (Yes, I thought, this is still just MY little gift to the world, my baby. No pressure. Just my small contribution.)
To everyone's astonishment, this little hardcover achieved best-seller status (over 20,000 copies sold: a "best-selling" hardcover needs to only sell 3,000 copies!) simply because what it shared was simple and true and effective. And, you can do it 10 minutes a day.
It turned out that people felt Flowdreaming was a perfect complement to what they'd already learned about Law of Attraction, manifesting, and Vortex-thinking. They'd watched The Secret and been left with a feeling of..."And NOW what do I do?!"
Over and over, people told me that practicing Flowdreaming let them put the pedal to the metal and actually DO IT and FEEL IT instead of just knowing about the so-called rules and laws.
This is when I truly discovered that there are more people like me in the world, and that these people also desperately needed what I'd been blessed to have stumbled on: Flowdreaming.
Some people say I teach "prayer in technicolor." Others tell me I teach them how to work WITH God and Source Energy in a way that's far more profound than anything they've come across.
Still others say I've explained a part of themselves to them—I've put into words something they've always known they could do (make things happen!) but never knew had a name.
And still others say that I have given them a gift by showing them how to manifest and use the Law of Attraction and Law of Allowing in a way that seems hand-picked for their personality and mind.
In the subsequent years, I wrote more, published more, and eventually produced over 500 hours of free podcasts. Most of the tools and programs on this website are extraordinarily inexpensive (90% cost under $10).
I'm careful not to either over-promise or over-charge. Anything you learn here will only work if you DO THE WORK YOURSELF in your life.
Fortunately, the work is really pleasurable! I've created hundreds of "templates" for you in the form of mp3s that you can follow as you learn. I have dozens of on-demand classes giving you a huge variety of energy techniques to practice.
If Abraham shows you the "what," I offer you the "how" so what you learn doesn't just stay in your head, but becomes a real actual physical practice. I help you grab and FEEL your emotions, stregthening them to use as tools in your life.
I never would have done any of this if it hadn't been for Flow. I wouldn't have been introduced to the Hicks so many years ago; I wouldn't have been selected to study and learn in person from Dr. Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Doreen Virtue, Gregg Braden, John Holland, Colette Baron-Reid, and so many other illustrious minds that I lose count. My little, personal technique would have stayed private in my heart and in my family.
I've had to LIVE my practice, and practice what I preach. Every fear or obstacle I have eventually gets washed under the gentle current of my Flow, and every year since I've started doing this, my life has improved.
Today, I work exclusively for myself, when I want and where I want. I earn MORE than I ever did as a director in a huge corporation, under the yoke of bosses and strict hours. I am totally self-directed. My work has purpose and adds light into the world. I feel huge joy knowing that I help people in every level of society (from famous actors to methadone addicts to university professors to stay-at-home-moms) to reclaim immense inner power of their lives.
I recognize that everyone who lands on this page has a unique goal or wish for their lives. It's just a question of, "How do I get that?"
I strip away all the mumbo-jumbo, and all the "laws," and all the dogma. I speak in simple terms of "Flow" and "Source."
I'm just here sharing a tool, and a little philosophy behind that tool, that I know can and will change your life—because it's already been doing it every day of your life.
I invite you to explore any area of my site that you'd like. I have a few suggestions below.

Catelynn Lowell announced her pregnancy earlier this month, and now, she's talking gender.
On Aug. 6, the former "Teen Mom" star announced she was expecting her second child with fiancé Tyler Baltierra and in a few days, she'll be finding out if she's having a boy or a girl.
"18 weeks as of midnight and 6 more days until we know if it's a boy or girl!" Lowell told fans on Instagram, according to an Aug. 12 report by The Stir. "#cantwait so excited to meet our little monkey!!"
Along with her Instagram post, Lowell shared a photo of her growing baby bump.
Lowell and Baltierra welcomed their first child in 2009 while cameras rolled for MTV's "16 & Pregnant." Although the pair was initially torn over what to do with the pregnancy, they ultimately decided that allowing their daughter to be adopted was the best decision.
Now that they are more stable, Lowell and Baltierra couldn't be more excited to be welcoming their second child, but if fans think they will reveal the child's gender when they find out, they may be in for a surprise. After all, Lowell waited months to announce her pregnancy -- even though her mother, April Stotts, confirmed the news to Us Weekly back in May.
In addition to her pregnancy secrecy, Lowell and the rest of the "Teen Mom" cast is reportedly filming for an upcoming installment of the series, which means she may be contractually obligated to keep certain things under wraps.
No word yet on what the "Teen Mom" project is or when it will make its debut.

November 29, 2014. Txiki received a silver medal for the second year in the World Cheese Awards, held in London, England, in November 2014 in a class that compared it with sheep cheeses from around the world.
October 2012 Our cheese was featured in an article in Via Magazine about Tomales Bay. Also mentioned in the article is Osteria Stellina, our wonderful local restaurant that serves Barinaga Ranch lamb in the summer months when it is available. Click here for the web version of the article.
November 2012. My goodness, I am so honored to see our cheese mentioned along side Uplands Cheese Company's Rush Creek Reserve, and Old Chatham's Shaker Blue. See the full piece here.
I was featured as one of 10 Artisans to Watch in the April 2012 issue of San Francisco Magazine. That's our Txiki in the cover photo! Here is the full digital version of the magazine. The article begins on page 64 and we're on pages 71 and 72.
September 12, 2012. Txiki was one of 4 cheeses and 29 artisanal products named as winners. Congratulations to our friends at Nicasio Valley Cheese Company, who won with their Foggy Morning, and to our friend Lance Winters at St. George Spirits in Alameda, who won with his new artisan gin, Terroir. The article is in the October 2012 issue of Cooking Light.
Our cheese was featured in Learning Curd.
Ella Lawrence wrote a great piece about us recently in Bay Area Bites.
We were included in Stett Holbrook's article in the Bohemian about local cheesemakers.
Nora Zelevansky just published a nice interview with me in VetStreet.
We were profiled in the March/April 2012 issue of Sheep! Magazine
(Guests at the fundraiser paid $38,000 to taste Baserri, but you can get it for just $30 a pound if you join my mailing list!.)
Michael Tusk of Quince and Cotogna (with his wife Lindsay), served dinner to the Obamas and supporters at a private home in San Francisco on February 16 . Photo source: SF Chronicle

February, 2011: Our Txiki was one of four cheeses that made Sunset Magazine's list of 100 ideas, people, places and things that are making life better it the west! See the article here.
June 15, 2011: Our operation has been certified by Animal Welfare Approved, the most highly regarded food label when it comes to humane animal practices, pasture-based farming and sustainability. We are very pleased to have received this stamp of approval for our work here, because the AWA standards are completely in keeping with our values and policy of putting each animals health and comfort first. During our initial audit and inspection in April, the auditor continually praised our operation as just the kind that AWA seeks to bring into its program. He remarked on the trust that our gentle handling has generated in our animals.
July, 2012. Txiki won Best in Show at the 2012 California State Fair Cheese Competition in July. I was recovering from an emergency appendectomy and was unable to attend the awards ceremony and the Grape and Gourmet event on August 18, although I did send some cheese for sampling. The nice folks at the fair just sent me our ribbons and awards: a gold ribbon for our gold medal in semi-hard cheeses, and additional ribbons for Best of Division and Best in Show, as well as a plaque for Best in Division and a Golden Bear for Best in Show! Our Txiki little cheese did OK! In the photo above, Lisa and Anna show off our awards.
June, 2013. The mere mention of "coyote" evokes fear and dread in most sheep ranchers, as coyotes are responsible for the loss of countless lambs on US ranches. Traditionally, ranchers have killed coyotes to try to prevent lamb losses. Indeed, most agricultural counties employ a trapper to kill offending coyotes. But Marin County, under the leadership of our Ag Commissioner Stacey Carlson, has taken a different approach; instead of employing a trapper, Marin has a cost-share program to help ranchers with non-lethal means of controlling predators. The county pays for the upkeep of livestock-protection dogs like our Great Pyrenees. Our dogs don't need to fight or kill coyotes; their mere presence with the sheep ensures that the coyotes stay away and prey on wildlife instead of lambs. The county also will share the cost of predator-proof fencing, or construction of "night pastures" where sheep can be gathered close to human habitation at night. Camilla Fox, of Project Coyote, found that Marin County's rate of livestock loss to predators is half of the average rate of loss in counties that employ a trapper. It is great news that what is good for the coyote is ALSO good for the lamb. We certainly love our dogs and rest easy while the coyotes are howling at night, because our lambs are safe in the care of Big Otis, Oso and Shep. Recently Camilla and a group from Project Coyote visited our ranch and interviewed me for a video they are preparing on the Marin County program. (Photos: above: Camilla Fox with one of our lambs; below: Caroline Kraus filming.)
April 28, 2012. Barinaga Ranch was featured in an article by Peter Fimrite on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle Friday. The piece, about Marin County's innovative program to support livestock protection dogs as a non-lethal means of predator-control, included some beautiful photos by Chronicle photographer Michael Macor, including the one above.
August 26, 2011. Barinaga Ranch and Baserri are featured in the Fall 2011 issue of Culture Magazine. The article was written by Bay Area food journalist Molly Watson and the gorgeous photos are by Petaluma photographer Paige Green. Thank you Molly, Paige and Culture! Read Culture's blog for more about our cheese, referring to a lovely mention in Ray Bair's Cheese Plus newsletter. As part of their centerfold coverage, Culture took Baserri to the streets in Cambridge, MA. See people on the street tasting and commenting on Baserri.
June 16, 2011. One hundred twenty guests enjoyed a lovely June evening on the ranch and a fabulous menu created by chef Christian Caiazzo, of Osteria Stellina in Point Reyes Station. Christian's menu showcased our products, from our sausage, lamb and liver to our cheese, as well as potatoes from David Little's farm in Tomales and wines from Pey Marin. The arriving guests were able to watch the afternoon milking and visit with our lambs before enjoying appetizers in our bayview pasture accompanied by sparkling mead from Heidrum Meadery of Point Reyes Station. The dinner table was set in our south pasture with a 180-degree view of Tomales Bay. A good time was had by all, and we are looking forward to hosting more events on our ranch. If you are interested in having a special event here, contact us through our "contact" page and put "events" in the subject line. We are hoping to have the Oustanding in the Field team back next summer. Check out jeweler Kirsten Muenster's blog entry about the event with a lovely set of photos.

As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
Opioid Epidemic Is Not the Only...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
The Epigenetics Field Is Granular and...
Israeli company D-Pharm raised NIS 85 million (about $23 million) through a combined oversubscribed IPO that secured some NIS 28 million and a rights offering of NIS 57 million. The company says that it's premoney valuation was about NIS 120 million (approximately $31.54).
Most of the funds will be used for a pivotal Phase III trial of D-Pharm's DP-b99, which is in development for the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke. FDA cleared the IND application for the Phase III MACSI trial in June. The study will include about 770 patients with moderately severe ischaemic stroke in clinical centers in North America, Europe, South Africa, and Israel.
DP-b99 is a neuroprotective, membrane-active chelator derived from the known calcium chelator BAPTA. Administration of the drug is supposed to start within nine hours of stroke onset. Previously reported data from a Phase IIb trial with DP-b99 showed treatment with the drug doubled the percentage of patients that completely recovered from ischaemic stroke.
D-Pharm says that it also intends to investigate the drug's potential in the treatment of traumatic brain injury and for prophylactic treatment of neurological damage associated with coronary artery bypass graft procedures.
DP-b99 was developed using D-Pharm's Membrane Activated Chelator (MAC) technology, which hinges on the use of lipids to develop small molecule drugs that function only within the lipid environment of cell membranes. MAC drugs are essentially switched off in hydrophilic environments such as blood plasma, extracellular fluids, and cytoplasm and switched on in lipophilic environments. D-Pharm claims this property means MACs can be developed as highly potent and safe medicines for the treatment of pathological processes precipitated by abnormal ion distribution thereby preventing cell apoptosis.
Commenting on the combined fundraising, D-Pharm's board chairman, Ruben Krupik, says, "This is a unique offering because the current shareholders provided most of the financing. We gave the public the opportunity to participate, while taking most of the risk upon ourselves."
CEO, Alex Kozak, Ph.D., adds, "I am happy to see the Israeli public sector investors supporting an advanced clinical-stage company like D-Pharm. I hope that our IPO opens the door to the flotation of other companies, especially in the biotech industry." D-Pharm's pipeline includes DP-VPA, a derivative of the antepilepsy drug, valproic acid (VPA). Developed using the company's RAP™ technology, DP-VPA has already completed a Phase II trial in patients with complex partial epilepsy. The RAP platform involves chemically linking a lipid vector to the active site of a drug.
This creates an inactive prodrug that is only activated at the site of disease when disease-specific enzyme activity cleaves off the lipid vector. D-Pharm believes that the application of its D-RAP™ Technology has allowed the development of a better VPA candidate, with all the utilities of the parent drug but an improved safety profile. DP-VPA is also in development for the treatment of bipolar disorder and for migraine prophylaxis.

With the excitement surrounding the Nintendo Direct today at 5pm EST, many people were hoping we would see an official announcement in regards to the release date for the game. Unfortunately that won't be happening, as confirmed by a tweet from Nintendo of Japan. Nintendo of America later mirrored the sentiment, saying that Nintendo hopes everyone is excited to learn about the launch window.
We hope you'll tune in to learn about the launch window for the next #SmashBros., and much more! (2/2)
— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) April 8, 2014
A launch window means we'll likely know what quarter Nintendo plans on launching the game in, but not the specific month or even the date. Don't be too disappointed when the Direct airs, since we knew a date wasn't coming. What do you want to see most from the Direct this afternoon?

Another episode of "Pretty Little Liars" returns tonight and season 4, episode 23 is going to be a good one. Sneak peeks and spoilers have given hints of what is to come, but one thing has fans worried. Will Emily forgive Paige for what she has done? On March 10, Alloy Entertainment wrote about the betrayal.
Warning: If you do not want to know "Pretty Little Liars" 4x23 spoilers, then stop reading.
The episode is titled "Unbridled." The Liars have a lot going on including a charity bridal fashion show, snooping around the DiLaurentis house and Emily will confront Paige. As fans remember, Paige demanded to know about the money and Emily was backed into a corner until she fessed up. She asked Paige not to say anything. However, she broke that promise and wrote a note telling police that Alison was alive. Emily only found out because the cops questioned Hanna about it and she recognized her handwriting.
A sneak peek shows Emily and Paige in the bathroom at school and things are awkward from the very beginning. Paige went out of state to visit family and never once called Emily. Not only that, but Emily will question her about the note and she is pretty angry, too. Paige insists that she did it to protect Emily, but she thinks Paige did it to get back at Ali.
So the big question is if Emily will be able to forgive Paige? Trust is really important to Emily. She became enraged at Spencer for following her when she met Alison. While things seem okay between the two now, it took a while. Not only that, but she has known Spencer a lot longer and she knows now she had no bad intentions, she just wanted to be sure she was safe. Paige on the other hand, violated Emily's trust. While she says that it was to protect her, Emily is going to have a hard time wrapping her head around that one.
Chances are that Paige and Emily are over. Not only was she betrayed, but she put Alison's life in danger, which is something Emily will not get over very easily, if at all.
What do you think? Will Emily forgive Paige or are the two over?
"Pretty Little Liars" season 4, episode 23 airs on March 11.

You've seen them if you've been near any body of water or hiked a trail without an obvious path - they're cairns, rocks stacked up and balanced by visitors leaving their temporary marks on the landscape or by trail makers helping people find their way. These Wasabi Earrings ($34) are made of riverstone, pink coral, and chrysoprase, and their unlikely arrangement reminds us of coming upon a particularly impressively balanced cairn on our travels.

Dyson invests millions in robotic research facility
Not just a sucker blowing hot air
VACUUM CLEANER MAGNATE Sir James Dyson has put £5m funding into a robotics laboratory, following in the footsteps of Google which recently acquired Boston Dynamics.
The inventor, who already funds budding engineers through the Sir James Dyson Foundation that awards £30,000 grants for problem solving ideas, will once again be working with Imperial College, London, with which he has been collaborating since 2005.
The new research will be working towards the next generation of vacuum cleaning robots, but also wider robotics applications including domestic robots with artificial intelligence.
Dyson told the BBC, "My generation believed the world would be overrun by robots by the year 2014. We now have the mechanical and electronic capabilities, but robots still lack understanding - seeing and thinking in the way we do.
"Mastering this will make our lives easier and lead to previously unthinkable technologies."
The focus of the research will be on developing robots' vision and adaptability to their environments. The five year investment will be matched with £3m, which will pay for 15 scientists, including some seconded from Dyson.
This is Dyson's second major investment in recent weeks following a £250m investment for his firm's existing research centre, which will see it double in size and hire up to 3,000 more engineers.
Dyson's commitment to research has led to several products that are now part of everyday life, including the bagless pivoting vacuum cleaner, bladeless fan, airblade hand dryer and ball wheelbarrow.
This recent splurge amounts to relatively small change for Dyson, who is said to have amassed a personal fortune of £3 billion. µ

Why on earth would MLB.tv and Roku drop that ball? I am certainly glad that I didn't sign up for service yet, like some here have done.
Get it together, folks. If you want to give Comcast, DirecTV and DISH the boot, you can't be making grievous errors like this.
larryslounge wrote:That's why you need to wait until the regular season starts, and MLB streams in HD, to see if it really works. Once you sign up you have 5 days to cancel the package (either for whole year subscription, or at beginning of each monthly subscription). I'm certainly going to wait until around April 1 to sign up.
jstraw wrote:Let's not go down this road of confusion again this year. The statement "Now I find that Roku is not supporting the Spring Training games." is not supportable. Roku can only present the programming the content providers make available. This is entirely on MLB.
TheLizard wrote:Even if this is "Entirely on MLB" the fact is that last week, Roku was prominently advocating their product for use in streaming MLB.tv. No mention that Spring Training was exempt. Today, I am having trouble finding any mention of MLB.tv on the Roku site. I wonder what happened? I would hope that the regular season contract is not in question.

British vocalist and producer Låpsley creates the illusion of a male-female duet on the gorgeous "Station" by dropping the pitch of her own voice. Her digital male voice sounds quite like a very pleasing blend of James Blake and Sampha.

British vocalist and producer Låpsley creates the illusion of a male-female duet on the gorgeous "Station" by dropping the pitch of her own voice. Her digital male voice sounds quite like a very pleasing blend of James Blake and Sampha.
London's Shivum Sharma sends shivers with the glorious piano-driven "Flicker." Feeling like a James Blake with a bit more of an R&B lean.
One of our newest favorites, Sid Sriram, continues his covers series with this chilling cover of James Blake's "Life Round Here." We see homeboy working it with his classical Indian music influenced riffs, too.
This guy is incredible. Vicktor Taiwò falls somewhere between James Blake and Frank Ocean on this "Digital Kids" track featuring Solomon. The haunt of his echoey vocals mixed with the vibrating electronic production feels transcendent.
Listen to "Digital Kids" below as well as the lulling and gorgeous "Only Love" where Vicktor covers Ben Howard. Here, he's sounding something like a cross between Miguel and John Legend. We need more of this guy yesterday.
Words by Andrea K. Castillo / Photo by Seher Sikandar
The night of Tuesday, May 7th was one of musical splendor. The evening hosted the first of two high-demand New York shows at Terminal 5 for the future soul master that is James Blake. The UK crooner brought out a crowd that is unheard of at such shows, a mass of actual cool people. You had your hipsters clad in dark framed glasses and five-panel hats, college bros that are venturing out to new musical territories, tastemakers, and couples that danced to a rhythm that no one else heard. This group was mature and well attuned to Blake's galaxy-surfing sound.
His set began a minute early, at 8:59 PM to be exact, with an attention-grabbing introduction of "Unluck". The stage was clad in blue-green light adding a dreamlike quality to Blake's at-times haunting vocals. Positioned to the right of center-stage, Blake's performance was not focused on his ego, but that of meticulous live-sampling and eclectic sound.

. After release from the carrier vehicle, the probes entered the atmosphere at 41,600 km/hr, followed by the bus. The small probes were each targeted at different parts of the planet and were named accordingly.
The North probe entered the atmosphere at about 60 degrees north latitude on the day side. The night probe entered on the night side. The day probe entered well into the day side, and was the only one of the four probes which continued to send radio signals back after impact, for 67 minutes. The carrier vehicle, not designed for atmospheric re-entry, followed the probes into the Venusian environment and relayed data about the characteristics of the extreme outer atmosphere until it was destroyed by atmospheric heating. Despite their drastically different roles, the Orbiter and Multiprobe were very similar in design. The use of identical systems (including flight hardware, flight software, and ground test equipment) and incorporation of existing designs from previous missions (including OSO and Intelsat) allowed the mission to meet its objectives at minimum cost.
