The depth of the Twin Cities' choral music scene is on abundant display this month with three major premieres: The male vocal ensemble Cantus presents two world firsts, while VocalEssence offers a major U.S. debut.
Cantus's fall program is called A Place for Us, and it honors immigrants who have come to this country to remake their lives. "It's certainly relevant to today's news, as immigrants continue to come," says Cantus member Aaron Humble.
The first world premiere is a piece by Cantus member Paul John Rudoi, who has set a poem by African American poet Langston Hughes, "Let America Be America Again," which contains some politically pointed and very contemporary-sounding lyrics. Also featured is the world premiere of a commission, "Psalm of the Soil," by Sarah Kirkland Snider. She writes in the classical tradition but draws on the energy of indie rock, using an Appalachian folk hymn as the starting point for the piece.
Meanwhile, VocalEssence is presenting the U.S. premiere of British composer Jonathan Dove's There Was a Child, a touching oratorio for soprano, tenor, chorus, and a 50-piece orchestra. A colleague of Dove's commissioned the piece in memory of her son, who drowned at age 19. The oratorio uses poems by Langston Hughes, Emily Dickinson, and other poets to tell the story of a life, from birth to young manhood.
Cantus: Oct. 17, The Cowles Center, 528 Hennepin Ave., Mpls.; Oct. 19, Sundin Music Hall, 1531 Hewitt Ave., St. Paul; Oct. 20, Trinity Lutheran Church, 115 N. 4th St., Stillwater; Oct. 24, Colonial Church of Edina, 6200 Colonial Way, Edina, 612-435-0046, cantussings.org. VocalEssence: Oct. 27, Orchestra Hall, 612-371-5656, vocalessence.org

"I want no epitaphs of profound history and all that type of thing. I contributed – I would hope they would say that, and I would hope somebody liked me." - Brian Clough
Before the ruddy-faced passion of Sir Alex Ferguson, the scouting savvy of Arsene Wenger, and the overwhelming charisma of Jose Mourinho graced the soccer scene, there was Brian Clough, the perfect amalgam of all these vital managerial skills.
In a era of the sport dominated by strong, fierce personality and on-field viciousness, not to mention the various European superpowers currently making hay across the continent (Liverpool, Bayern Munich, a reviving Ajax), Clough thrived, winning trophies, league titles and European acclaim.
He began his soccer life as so many managers did: on the field. As striker for his hometown club Middlesbrough, he was prolific, scoring 197 goals in 213 league matches, earning himself 2 England caps in 1959. From there, he hopped across Tyne and Wear to Sunderland, where he managed 54 in 61 before injuring his cruciate ligament and prematurely ending his career at age 27.
The club eased his bitter disappointment by letting him coach the youth team before the board of directors fired him and sent him further into despair. Peter Taylor revived him on the managerial path, joining him at lowly Hartlepool United to assist, and their relationship would be the spine of Clough's career.
Beginning early – Taylor was a reserve goalkeeper for Sunderland that aided Clough's rise through the ranks at the club to become first-choice striker – the pair would enjoy a tumultuous partnership. From Hartlepool, they went to Derby County, a team struggling in the Second Division, and transformed the ailing franchise, bringing in Archie Gemmill (scorer of a legendary goal in the '78 World Cup against Holland) and Roy McFarland for remarkably low prices and winning the league title.
Then, after some disputes with the Derby owners (stemming from the refusal by the club to let Clough bring his family along for a preseason tour of Holland), they were off again, with disastrous stops at Brighton & Hove Albion and Leeds United (the focal point of the book and film, The Damned United) before settling at Nottingham Forest, the scene of their greatest triumphs. There, they won a League Title in 1977/78, League Cups in 1978/79 and 79/80, and, most importantly, consecutive European Cups in 1979 and 1980.
Clough was the ultimate man-manager. Knowing how to extract the best from his players, he was frequently dictatorial, finding that fire and fury were the best motivators. While Taylor did the scouting (Clough once remarked of Taylor's gifts: "I'm not equipped to manage successfully without Peter Taylor. I am the shop window and he is the goods in the back."), it was Clough's job to mold the individuals under his watch into a successful, coherent team. At Nottingham Forest, the duo thrived in picking up other clubs' damaged goods on the cheap, confident in their ability to rehabilitate and remotivate.
Peter Shilton, who earned a reputation at Stoke City for being a malcontent, was given confidence at Forest and managed to finally wrestle the England goalkeeper position from Ray Clemence. Or Archie Gemmill, the squat Scottish midfielder, who followed Clough from club to club in the 70s after being rid of the prevailing wisdom that he was solely a left-footed played. Clough eschewed the notion and helped Archie find his form on both feet… at Forest, Gemmill would be a major factor in the club's success, and went on to captain Scotland at the 1978 World Cup. And how did Clough sign Gemmill back in 1973? By sleeping in his car outside the Gemmill family home… until Archie's wife invited him in to sleep in the guest bedroom.
As Brian Glanville put it, Clough was "a mixture of arrogance and initiative, bombast and generosity, intransigence and self-doubt." It remains one of the great tragedies that he was continually overlooked for the England job, especially during the 1970s when England was a floundering mess after Alf Ramsay's loud departure. As Clough said, "They didn't want any trouble. They didn't want me… I'm sure the England selectors thought if they took me on and gave me the job, I'd want to run the show. They were shrewd because that's exactly what I would have done." His opinion was backed up by Forest player Garry Birtles: "They [the FA] were scared stiff of him. Scared of his style. His management. They should have looked at his success."
But, to their regret, they never did, and Clough ran Nottingham Forest until 1993, picking up a couple more trophies along the way before his uncontrollable alcoholism took hold. He died in 2004 of stomach cancer.

- all manner of tomato products, diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, spaghetti sauces, pizza sauce, tomato paste, salsas. I keep a variety of sizes available, too. Canned beans: black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, whatever bean you can find that you'll eat. It's less expensive to use dried beans, but these are still cheap and will work in a pinch. I'm also fond of already canned baked beans, bean dips. You can doctor them with a little bacon and some brown sugar and they taste like homemade. Canned fish: tuna, salmon, crab, clams. Canned fruit and vegetables: stock the ones you like and will use. I have pineapple, applesauce, mandarin oranges, pears, peaches, whole cranberries, cranberry sauce, pumpkin, corn, olives, roasted red peppers, jars of tapenade, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, pesto (tomato and basil), canned chilies, tomatillos, anchovies, capers. Canned soups and broths, etc.: stock the ones you use. I use a lot of chicken broth (low-sodium has more flavor), beef broth, vegetable broth and bottled clam juice. Enchilada sauces (green and red), jars of gravy (great for extending what you made)
Instructions:Canned milk: sweetened condensed, evaporated-all work great in baking. Condiments: ketchup, mustards (yellow, Dijon, whole grain), pickles (dill and sweet), relish, mayonnaise, A-1, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, stir fry sauces, soy sauce (low-sodium, if you can find), teriyaki sauce, horseradish, cocktail sauce, Once opened, store in fridge (except soy sauce). Oils and Vinegars: Vegetable oils of choice (I like a cold pressed safflower or sunflower oil by Hollywood), olive oil, sesame oil for stir fry. All oil will go rancid staying out. After it is opened it has to go in the fridge, except olive oil. White and red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar and balsamic vinegars. Nut Butters and Jelly: Peanut butter (crunchy or creamy), almond and cashew butters, jelly, jam and fruit spread or conserve, honey. My peanut butter needs to be refrigerated after opening. Check your label to be sure. Herbs and Spices: To keep the price down on these spices, go to a dollar store or Wal-Mart to stock up as much as possible. You can also go to a health food store and buy everything you need from the bulk jars. This is the best place get quality spices and be frugal at the same time, believe it or not. I've bought the freshest spices at the health food store for thirty-five cents each. Basil, thyme, marjoram, rosemary, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, red pepper flakes, cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, ginger, dried mustard cinnamon, peppercorns for the peppermill, nutmeg and curry powder are in my spice cabinet because I USE all of them. I also use sea salt and kosher salt and have both of those in my spice cabinet. Only buy what you use. Baking Center: sugar (white, brown, powdered), flour (white, whole wheat, other), cornmeal, pancake mix, baking powder (should be kept in fridge after opening), baking soda, salt, cornstarch, baking chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, chocolate chips, nuts, baking mixes (cake, brownie, etc.) Pasta and Rice and Grains: an assortment of pastas that you will use. Lasagna noodles, spaghetti noodles, ziti, rotini, fusilli, fettucine, linguine…only what you use. Boxed macaroni and cheese (try the natural white cheddar kinds). Rice-I much prefer brown, but get what you'll use. I've also got basmati, wild rice and some blends and mixes. Oats, split peas, dried beans (white beans, navy beans, black beans, pinto beans), lentils, barley, couscous. Breads and Cereals: whatever you use. Bread should go in the freezer if it doesn't get used up right away. Tortillas should be stored in the fridge-I prefer whole wheat (without transfats) tortillas for burritos and corn tortillas for tacos and fajitas. Potatoes and Onions: Russets, Red Rose potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash (or other whole squash in season, except summer squashes which need refrigeration) brown onions, red onions. Keep potatoes away from the light or they turn green. Also, don't store potatoes next to apples. Apples give off a gas that causes potatoes to sprout. Miscellaneous Pantry Items: coffee, assorted teas, hot cocoa, etc.

T-Mobile myTouch Slide will have three color versions
T-Mobile USA's upcoming myTouch smartphone, namely the myTouch Slide, will apparently have three color versions. We've already seen two of them (red and black), and now it's time to see the white version.
As previously reported (and as its names suggests), the myTouch Slide features a sliding QWERTY keyboard – unlike the myTouch 3G, which is a touchscreen-only smartphone.
Probably manufactured by HTC, the T-Mobile myTouch Slide should also feature a HVGA touchscreen display, Android 2.1, optical trackpad, 3.5mm headset jack, photo camera with LED flash, MicroSD card support, and a 1300 mAh battery.
T-Mobile has still not announced the release date of myTouch Slide. However, the handset will probably be available in the next few months.

College Hockey:Huskies Rebound After Loss, Shutout Merrimack
Power Play Keys Win
BOSTON — After seeing their 11-game unbeaten streak end Friday night, the No. 7 Northeastern Huskies came out with extra motivation and shutout the Merrimack Warriors 3-0 Saturday.
"This is the time of the year when you are playing back-to-back games, often against the same team," said Huskies' coach Greg Cronin. "It's a unique dynamic there; its like a fight. If you get punched in the nose, you gotta come back and swing the next night. I thought we had better intensity tonight, and I thought we were much better away from the puck."
Northeastern took the lead at 6:13 of the first period when David Strathman tapped in a beautiful cross-ice feed from Chad Costello. Strathman just tapped the puck with his backhand over the shoulder of Merrimack netminder Andrew Braithwaite.
"I was coming off a change and I saw Chad [Costello] coming down the far side and the defense didn't see me coming backdoor, and he just made a great pass and I tried to put it on net and luckily it went in," Strathman said after the game. "He made a great pass. I'll give him all the credit, he saw me coming down the wing and that's it."
Northeastern added another tally in the first when Tyler McNeely scored a power-play goal, deflecting in a Steve Silva blast from the point. The assist gave Silva, a freshmen, ten points on the season.
"[The power-play] has been one of our main focuses coming into tonight," McNeely said. "Joe [Vitale] made a great play up to Steve [Silva]. Steve walked in and took a shot and I was in front of the net and it just tipped of me and went in. You get those lucky goals; it happens sometimes."
Coming into the game, the Northeastern power play had been struggling, scoring only nine goals on their 89 chances. This time on the power-play, Cronin had five forwards on the ice, Silva and Russo on the point with Northeastern's top offensive line of McNeely, Vitale, and Wade MacLoud.
"We've been struggling on the power play all year and coach has been trying to find some combinations and today he put five forwards on the power-play and me and [Jimmy] Russo on top and I think we were working it pretty good, finding lanes," Silva said. "I think as a whole our unit was just clicking. Generally, forwards have a lot of creativity and I think we all we move and get open and find each other. I actually like it."
Northeastern kept the hammer down in the second period, adding their second power-play goal of the game when Vitale scored his seventh of the season, a deflection that hand-cuffed Braithwaite as the puck trickled through the five-hole.
Neither team scored during the third period, though Northeastern seemed content to kill the clock a majority of the time
Northeastern goalie Brad Thiessen pitched his first shutout of the season in tonight's game.
"It's always nice to get a shutout," Thiessen said. "We played really well and were able to keep them to the outside and whenever there was a rebound they were able to clear the puck away."
Next up for Northeastern is a pair at the University of Vermont; Merrimack hosts Boston University on Friday night.

Magical Ride
- Release Date: 2012
- Publisher:
- Developer: Pretty Simple
- Genre: Arcade
- Official Site
Welcome to the enchanted forest. As a budding witch, you need to horn your skill of flying on your broomstick before you can learn anything else. And the forest is your testing ground where you need to fly forward as far as you can while dodging various obstacles.
Magical Ride is easy to learn. You just need to hold down your left button to fly up and leave hold of it to fall down. If you are a newbie runner, however, you can see you many ways of death as you clumsily falling down your broomstick. Run head to an electric zapper, crash to a firing pumpkin, or collide with any other spooky objects – evade the obstacles or you die.
You will receive a series of different missions to complete as you try to run out of the forest. You may be asked to have 5 near misses with zappers or fireballs, fly 500 meter without touching the bottom, destroy one score board, or even die from a zapper. When you complete missions, you will fill up magic potions, which in turn reward you with XP.
Besides the obstacles, there are also coins and transformation prisms hanging somewhere in the forest. You can collect coins and use them to buy boost (after Lv. 5), and grab the transformation prism which allows you to turning into a unicorn jumping over the obstacles. In the form of unicorn, you won't die but shift back to your witch image when you run into any obstacle. As to the purchased power-ups, there are Magic Start boost that allows you to dash through the first 600m without evading any obstacles, Magic Blast (available since Lv.9) that eliminates some death traps, and Resurrection which gives you one more chance without spending Diamonds.
When you die in a run, you can choose to simply die or resurrect from the failing spot continuing the run by spending 7 Diamonds, the hard currency. Diamonds are used to buy Life too. You have 5 lives to start out with, and you cost 1 life to play each game. So lives deplete quickly. And they recharge slowly at the rate of 10 minutes per life. Predictably, it's a game you play at short bursts.
Magical Ride is simple and stimulating. It doesn't have anything new to surprise the runner fans, but it is still immersive and interesting to be a flying witch.

Flash Review 3, 2-13:
Medium Maximum
Young Company Lacks Maximum Impact
By Lauren Feldman
Copyright 2001 Lauren Feldman
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida
-- I was excited by the prospect of seeing Miami's Maximum Dance
Company in its Fort Lauderdale debut Saturday afternoon at Bailey
Concert Hall in Broward County, as it was also the company's debut
for me. Unfortunately, I didn't leave as excited as I had arrived.
The audience, however, seemed to love every second of the performance.
Most of the people surrounding me couldn't stop talking (even during
the dancing!) about how happy they were to have Maximum up in Broward,
especially with the possibility of a full season here next year.
They also whispered to their friends that both of the artistic directors,
Yanis Pikieris and David Palmer, had danced with Miami City Ballet,
as had two other Maximum dancers. Interestingly, many people seated
near me expressed surprise at the small audience. I overheard one
woman say that they had given out the wrong telephone number for
the box office. If that was the case, it was a shame that more people
who might have come to see the performance didn't because of a publicity
The dancing was all technically
excellent, and the pieces chosen for this performance were said
to be staples of the company's repertoire. However, something seemed
to be lacking in all but one piece. Perhaps it was my imagination,
or the lack of enthusiasm from a less than full house, but I got
the sense that the dancers were a bit disappointed. The first piece
was "Bound for Brubeck," choreographed by Palmer with music by Dave
Brubeck. The movements were at once fluid and percussive, appropriate
for Brubeck's jazzy music. The piece finished with some fun floor
work and swingy movements, but I was anticipating more.
Next was "Scheherazade,"
with choreography after Michel Fokine, and music by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
Douglas Gawriljuk and Andrea Dawn Shelley displayed their technique
well, but I felt again like the piece needed more oomph -- whether
from the dancers themselves or from the staging, I couldn't tell.
"Bach de Trois," choreographed
by Nikolai Kabaniaev, had to be my favorite of the show, and the
only piece that really came into being on stage. Jacques Loussier's
arrangement of Bach's music was remarkable, as was the moving, and
often comedic, choreography. Loussier wove Bach's highly-structured
music into sensual, jazzy sections and then back again, with several
of his prominent compositions. The perfection of the integration
of Bach and jazz made me wonder why no one had attempted this particular
musical exercise before. Pendulum-like movements, along with fall
and recoveries full of breath, reappeared throughout the piece in
many different reincarnations. Marife Gimenez and Hiroko Sakakibara
showed excellent control and theatricality throughout the piece,
and Mikhael Plain showed his strength and suppleness in his solo,
in particular.
The final piece, "Adiemus,"
choreographed by Pikieris and Palmer, with music by Karl Jenkins
from "Adiemus Songs of Sanctuary," was a woodsy dance that reminded
me vaguely of a mix between Enya and the "Lion King" soundtrack.
Unfortunately, I don't think that was the desired effect. This piece
did do what it proposed in the program notes to do, in that it did
show the "abilities and artistry of the cast," but I didn't think
it was quite as "celebratory" as was promised. I do hope to see
this company again in Miami Beach, because I feel that Maximum Dance
is a technically admirable company with an honest desire to bring
contemporary ballet to South Florida. Perhaps next time I'll enjoy
the program as much as my surrounding audience members did on Saturday.

Some people wholeheartedly embrace regifting. Others think it's tacky, and they'd never consider doing it. According to a survey done by Consumer Reports, 36% of people regifted last holiday season. And surprisingly, the higher your income, the likelier you are to have engaged in regifting.
Personally, I'm really into regifting. I'm always trying to downsize my home and life, so when I get an unwanted gift, why keep it? This is especially true if I happen to know someone who could really benefit from whatever I'm not using. Even better, it saves me a significant amount of money as well.
There are, however, some do's and don't's when it comes to regifting. So, how do we regift the right way?
1. Make Sure It's Appropriate
If you're going to regift something, make sure the person you're giving it to will actually like and use it. Otherwise, it's just going to be another piece of clutter (or another regifted item for them!).
Gifts are meant to be special things. So don't pass off your junk to someone else. But if you know they'll really love the item, then regift away!
2. Don't Regift Hand-Me-Downs/Used Items
You've used your bread maker three times already. But it's not enough to justify the space it's taking up in your kitchen. Can you regift it?
My advice would be no. To me, this would qualify as a hand-me-down, not a regift. It's not something you'd wrap up and give as a gift for your best friend's birthday. It's used!
Give gently used items away on non-special days. Regifts should be in pristine, unused condition.
3. Keep Track of Who Gave What
Your mom gave you a sweater that you regifted to your cousin, who happens to wear it to your family reunion. Of course, your mom spots it from a thousand yards away, and suddenly you've got a family feud on your hands.
It's important to keep track of who gave you what so you eliminate the risk of upsetting your friends and family. Many experts recommend regifting only when you can do it with a different social or family circle. I think this is great advice.
4. Rewrap the Gift
You'd think this would be an obvious one, but it's not for a lot of people. If you're going to regift something, then put fresh wrapping paper on it and make sure the old gift tag or card is replaced with a new version. US News and World Report says that 16% of the people they surveyed spotted a regift only because it had the wrong name on it. Oops. That's a situation you don't want to find yourself in.
Buy a fresh bag and tissue paper, or rewrap the gift entirely with fresh wrapping paper. Doing this will help to make sure it doesn't look like a regift.
5. Don't Regift Food
Imagine someone gave you a box of chocolates for Valentines Day, but you never opened them. So you give them to your friend for Easter. When she opens them up, the chocolate has gotten dusty from moisture and age.
Not good.
A good rule of thumb is just not to regift food. It gets old and stale.
What else shouldn't you regift?
- Partially used gift cards
- Personal items like socks and underwear
- Personalized items (like monogrammed/signed items)
- Promotional items (like freebie company tote sacks)
- Weird appliances no one has a use for
Last Word
What do you think? Are you a regifter, or do you consider it the height of tackiness?
Also, if you have a funny regifting story, I'd love to hear it!

TC TO JANE BAILLIE WELSH; 14 April 1823; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18230414-TC-JBW-01; CL 2:329-331.
Monday—Afternoon [14 April 1823].
My dear Jane,
Thinking you might have finished all that was new or interesting to you in the first volume of Schiller, I have ventured to send you the second. I also wanted to speak with you: and "man is a selfish being"—as my Shoemaker at Ecclefechan positively assured me last summer.
My speech at present however must be very brief; for though longing greatly to talk with you, I have nothing worth a pin to say. I am quite sick at heart about this journey of yours. We are to depart for Dunkeld or Killiecrankie or I know not whither, in the first week of May; and already after to-morrow, I shall be confined constantly, except between one and four o'clock. It is ever thus!— I believe I shall have to travel without seeing you at all. I could "roar" like Bottom, when I think of this, "so that it should do any one's heart good to hear me."1 I am seriously vexed. But do you never mind me. Come—if woman's wit and good-nature can shew you the means; if not, be diligent and happy—und lass mich fahren [and let me go away]. You would be always dear to me, tho' I should never see you more.— But this is poor tragedy, and so I leave it.
Are you going steadily on with Gibbon? I hope you will stick by his skirts, in spite of all the roughness of the path, till he bring you to the end. There is much instruction in him, and much entertainment also—tho' one tires in so long a march. The volume which treats of Mahomet is a splendid piece of writing. Never look at the notes, if you can help it; they are often quite abominable.
You must translate Egmont,2 during summer, in proper style: we will print it, if we please! You must also write to me—almost every day—like a dutiful Scholar, as you always were. I am quite sorry—and could almost laugh at my sorrow, it is so absurd—for what I call this parting. As if sixty miles could part us more effectually than sixteen!
In the mean time, do come hither—unless it is expressly written to the contrary upon the "Iron Leaf."3 Without delay!— I have to hear you read Egmont; and to say nine hundred and ninety nine things, and hear as many; and the time is short very short. Do come my dear Jane—if it be possible. Will you insert a "not" here as you once wickedly did, and send it me for answer? I do not think so.
Schiller swells on my hands; it will require to be divided into parts: I meditate three. The first will be ready against your arrival, whenever that happens. I intend to have it done in two days. It is worse and worse; but never mind!
I read Spenser these some mornings, while eating my breakfast. He is a dainty little fellow, as ever you saw: I propose that you and he shall be closely acquainted by and by. What think you of this description of sunrise
His Faery Queen is like the sand of Pactolus,5 gold dust sparkled in every foot of it.— But I can palaver no more—for the time and paper are done. Will you not come? or at least write to me immediately? I am wearied with waiting—but patient—and—ever your's.
T. Carlyle.

From Hogg & Tanis, 8th ed., p. 291:
Let $X_1, X_1, \dots X_n$ by a random sample of size $n$ from the normal distribution $N(\mu, \sigma^2)$. Calculate the expected length of a 95% confidence interval for $\mu$, assuming that $n = 5$ and variance is (a) known, (b) unknown.
For (a), I let $L = 2z_{\alpha / 2}(\sigma / \sqrt{n})$. Since everything is constant, $E[L] = L$; just plug in all the numbers and out comes an expression in terms of $\sigma$.
For (b), though, I'm not as sure. I let $L = 2t_{\alpha / 2}(n - 1)\cdot(S / \sqrt{n}) = 2t_{0.025}(4)\cdot(S / \sqrt{5})$. Then $E[L] = \frac{5.552}{\sqrt{5}}E[S]$. By an earlier result (to which a hint for this question refers),
$$E[S] = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n-1}}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{2}\Gamma(n/2)}{\Gamma((n-1)/2)}$$
Plugging in all the relevant values, I get
$$E[L] = \frac{4.164\sqrt{\pi}}{\sqrt{10}}\sigma$$
which looks a bit like the previous result. The result for (a) makes sense to me because $\sigma$ is known; plug in $\sigma$ and out comes the length of the interval. For (b), though, $\sigma$ is unknown. So if this is correct how would that form of $E[L]$ be at all informative? Can anyone offer any intuition on what's going on here?

Male forms of Garrya elliptica are impressive plants when laden with their long elegant tassels in winter and early spring. Female plants have much smaller catkins and clusters of round deep purple fruits in summer. 'James Roof' is the most popular variety because its tassels are much longer than the species, 20-30cm (10in)ong and lasting for many weeks, making a striking backdrop to other smaller plants. The shrubs are nominally hardy, although without the shelter of a warm wall some foliage might suffer wind scorch, and are unaffected by salt winds and city air. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

Lies, damn lies, and energy benchmarks
March 10, 2009 - 15:15
Rob Enderle, Pricipal Analyst, Enderle Group
Analyst Opinion - When I was at a vendor event recently, the guys there were making a big deal about all of the power saving features their parts had achieved, indicating energy savings at the component level now exceed 70% over previous generations. These were desktop PC parts, and when I asked about the power savings at the wall I got the usual "we have no control over the inefficiencies of power supplies" answer, and then it struck me: With all those wonderful power saving parts at the component level, how many of them were completely eaten up by massively inefficient power supplies? The reality is this: People buying notebook and desktop PCs aren't given anything but an occasional EnergyStar sticker (which doesn't appear to mean much) to help them make energy smart choices. I believe it's well past time for something more.

UPDATED: PC shipments fall more in 2009, should recover in 2010
March 6, 2009 - 11:55
Samantha Rose Hunt
On Thursday, IDC updated its PC shipment forecast stating that shipments would decline much further in 2009 prior to gradually recovering in 2010. Computer manufacturers should expect shipments to decline by 4.5 percent in 2009, upgrading the forecast of 3.8 percent which was previously made in December. Over the next five years, the US market looks to decline and only increase by 3.4% overall, mostly in 2012 and 2013. However, the world-wide market looks to explode by over 50% increase between now and 2013, beginning an up-surge in 2010.

YouTube viewers in U.S. exceed 100 million for first time

Samantha Rose Hunt
With the inauguration, major awards shows, X-Games and other major events occurring recently it is no shock that users took to YouTube to catch up on things missed and to check out the videos they want to see again. It's even less surprising that YouTube has much to be excited about, as the company surpassed the 100 million viewer mark in the United States alone, making them the #3 most visited website on the Internet (and also #3 in U.S.), and #3 in most traffic, accounting for around 17% of all Internet traffic world-wide. This gives an idea as to the demand and growth of the online video industry.

Analyst Opinion - Do you know anyone who owns an Amazon Kindle 2 ebook reader? Me neither. How's about the original Kindle? Same thing. As much as I want to cheer for Amazon to do for ebooks what Apple did for music, I can't get excited about the current state of the ebook reader art. Simply saying they're too expensive is almost too easy. But the cheap geek in me can't ignore the fact that $359 for a device that doesn't do a whole lot beyond allow you to read is a pretty steep price when your average netbook or low-end laptop does infinitely more.

Complete list of 273 + 11 root domain names

Rick C. Hodgin
An organization called IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) publishes a root zone database, which lists all top-level domains, such as .com, .org and .net. TGdaily has compiled this list into a reference chart which describes each domain, or its country of association. Typically commercial uses in other countries will be prefixed with ".com" or ".co", as in ".co.uk" being a .com-like address for the United Kingdom. However, sometimes they go simply with their country's extension, as in Coca-Cola Canada (www.cocacola.ca).

UPDATED: The 100 oldest registered dot com, org, net, edu domains
March 6, 2009 - 01:01
Rick C. Hodgin
Ever wonder what the oldest registered .com domain is on the Internet? After all, they haven't always existed. In fact, it was just 24 years ago this month that the oldest domain was registered. It was www.symbolics.com, owned by the Symbolics, Inc. company who, back in the day, was a leading software development firm with software projects designed back in the 1980s which appear very much like modern software designs seen today. For example, they had developed a fully object-oriented operating system called Genera, which today still exists as Open Genera, for Alpha CPUs. Their domain was registered on March 15, 1985 -- when the Internet was brand new. EXTRA: Slideshow

Italian priest asks youth to give up Facebook, iPods and texting for Lent
March 4, 2009 - 10:35
Rick C. Hodgin
It's being reported that for 2009, the Bishop of Modena, in northern Italy, has asked young Italians to give up sending text messages on Fridays, as well as using Facebook and iPods. As an alternative to the traditional giving up of chocolate and other certain other foods or activities, the Italian priest is instead asking youthful members of the congregation to give up aspects of technology for Lent, meaning no text messaging (the average Italian posts 50 texts each month), no social networking, no music listening and mobile video watching. Other priests are asking older members to abstain from using their cars and playing video games, in addition to giving up Facebook, MP3 players and texting.

Microsoft working on Bob 2.0? Meet Laura the talking head

Named Laura, she handles appointments, books airline flights, and is capable of some sophisticated decision-making abilities such as assessing your personal mood based on clothing choice and interactive nuances, at least according to Ashlee Vance of the New York Times. Let's hope Laura is not another Bob, and is not the beginning of a 1984-like Big Sister.

We have known iPhone accounts for the leading mobile web users, but now the first mobile web use survey ever has revealed just how much the iPhone leads Windows Mobile when it comes to surfing on the go. The numbers also show that Android should definitely be taken seriously -- especially when it overtakes Symbian's web use stats sometime later this month. And unlike Microsoft (who failed to extend its desktop dominance into the mobile market), Google has taken its lead as the desktop search engine nicely over into the mobile market, which now leads both -- and the latter by an obscenely large margin.

A U.N. report published today states that six in ten people (60%) of the world's population has a cell phone subscription. The driving growth trend is coming from poor, developing countries. This 60% figure is up from just under 15% in 2002.

Netcraft's most recent web server has discovered a huge jump in the number of websites. February added more than 16% (or 30 million) new websites to the bottom line. China is the main reason. The blogging service Qzone added more than 20 million websites alone and has become the largest blog site provider worldwide, easily surpassing Google's Blogger and Microsoft's Windows Live Spaces.

February turned out to be a good month for Microsoft, at least as far as market shares for its browsers and operating systems are concerned. While Internet Explorer was able to slow its declining share considerably, the company was able to grow its operating share – and Apple lost share for the first time in more than a year.

Analysis: Safari 4 lifts Apple above 10% browser market share
March 1, 2009 - 15:55
Wolfgang Gruener
Analysis – February turned out to be the month of the beta browsers, in a more significant way than we have seen in any other month before. While overall market shares remained relatively stable for the top 5 of browser developers, there were major shifts in beta browser market share. Microsoft saw strong gains for Internet Explorer 8 and Apple hit a home run with Safari 4. Mozilla does not promote its Firefox 3.1 and trails its rivals in beta browser adoption, but has the strongest adoption rate of its most current stable browser.

The coming ARM vs. Intel PC battle
February 26, 2009 - 16:02
By Rob Enderle, Principal Analyst, Enderle Group
Analyst Opinion – I am seeing a lot of ARM activity at the moment that appears to be drifting towards the x86 space. ARM is the most common processor used in smartphones like the iPhone. And I've been waiting for a major push by ARM into the netbook space currently dominated by X86. The first visible broadside happened this week when Marvell announced they were initially going after the home storage space with low cost ARM based storage appliances, but the goal appeared to eventually be PCs.

If $E$ is a coherent sheaf on projective space then is it always true that its dual $ E^* $ is also coherent.? Moreover, if $E$ is also Torsion free or Reflexive then, $E^* $ is also Torsion free or Reflexive?
If $E$ is a coherent sheaf on a noetherian scheme, the dual $E^*=Hom_{O_X}(E, O_X)$ is always coherent. If $A$ is an affine open subset, then $E^*$ is the sheaf associated to the $A$-module $Hom_A( \Gamma(A, E), \Gamma(A, O_X))$. More generally, sheaf hom of any two sheaves preserves coherence.
This is a corollary of the fact that if $M,N$ are finitely presented $A$-modules, then for any multiplicative subset $S$, $S^{-1}Hom_A(M,N) = Hom_{S^{-1}A}(S^{-1}M, S^{-1}N)$, which can be found in any commutative algebra textbook (e.g. Eisenbud).
The dual of any coherent sheaf on a projective space is reflexive (and in particular torsion free). The easiest way to see it is the following. Choose a locally free resolution $\dots \to F_1 \to F_0 \to E \to 0$. After dualizing it gives an exact sequence $0 \to E^* \to F_0^* \to F_1^*$, thus $E^*$ is a kernel of a morphism of locally free sheaves, hence reflexive.
A good starting reading on reflexive sheaves is (at least the first section of) Hartshorne: Stable reflexive sheaves.
