Musical instruments have been honed over hundreds of years, and there's long been tension between the old and the new—from crowds of purists booing a newly electrified Bob Dylan to DJs rallying against digital mixing desks over traditional vinyl.
As technology in this area is empowered further by the crowdfunding model, the scope of music tech has expanded to not only augment instruments, but potentially create new ones, altering the way something is played or consumed.
Singer-songwriter Pete Roe, designer of the crowdfunded Submarine pickup, sees musicians' adoption of modern technology as an extension of something that's always happened. "When buildings like cathedrals, with their incredibly long reverbs, became possible, music that took full advantage of the space appeared soon after," he said. "It's just the same now, only the technological advances are different. Rather than a reverberant space it's a plugin, app or guitar pedal."
But musician Joe Newman, a guitarist with Jessie Ware, Ghostpoet and ESKA who also works with sample triggering and electronics, is more reticent about too much reliance on new tech, arguing that "it doesn't solve problems so much as create new ones."Roe's Submarine is a simple two-string pickup that fits underneath the bottom strings of a guitar, which, when run through a bass pedal, gives the effect of a bass and guitar played simultaneously. Essentially, it's a neat way of splitting the output of the instrument—something people have done for years now. That said, he has already noticed the device opening up the idea to different genres: "Looking at our backers, there are a number of TV and film composers, some metallers, a sound installation artist and a steel pan/guitar duo, so the appeal is broad."
Projects such as Sensory Percussion, a drum-trigger that attempts to combine the nuance of regular drumming with the scope of digital sounds, takes this idea one step further. By allowing drummers to map their own playing styles to a digital interface, it is in effect a new instrument. The sonic range is limitless. Musicians like Kiran Gandhi (MIA), Ian Chang (Son Lux), and Matt Duckworth and Nicholas Ley (The Flaming Lips) all speak gleefully in the pitch video about the potential of this bit of kit to change not only the sound of the instrument but the role it plays within a band.
Then we come to examples like the Artiphon Instrument, which is altogether more revolutionary and democratic in its aims. "We believe anyone can make music, and that most people really want to," its website states. This device synthesises guitar, piano, pedal steel, violin…whatever you want basically, and can be played in whichever way is most comfortable—plucked, padded, or bowed.
"Learning a stringed instrument hurts! You get callouses. You have to learn muscle memory… It's not nice!"
It marks a change in music tech. Whereas Sensory Percussion and Submarine both come from a desire to address a need within their respective instruments and expand their capabilities, the Artiphon does something different altogether. By synthesizing the sounds of multiple instruments, as well as making them easier to produce, it has the ability to democratise music in the same way that things like Instagram and Picfair have launched a spate of amateur photographers.
In this, Newman sees a big problem. "Learning a stringed instrument hurts! You get callouses. You have to learn muscle memory… It's not nice!" he said. "So the logic behind solving that is sound to a degree, but that's also a part of learning an instrument. What worries me about the Artiphon is that I don't think you'll see a new spate of really creative people come out of that, especially if they aim it at beginners."
Other examples of music tech—midi guitars, synths, Moogs—have achieved their longevity because they either have enough tactile parameters to give them a human feel, or because they have been taken on and used in a new way. The Mellotron, for example, was intended for home use—Princess Margaret was a fan. It was only when it got picked up by the Beatles that it began being used in contemporary music as a musical texture all of its own.Music technology has always developed in a way that enables new musicians to spark up their own brand of creativity—the Submarine and Sensory Percussion are two new examples. However, with the likes of the Artiphon we have something new; with the opportunities it offers to the non-traditional, non-musician, it could create a new sector of performers, even a new branch of music. But is it too easy?
According to Newman, a new, postmodern problem could present itself. "You've got a whole generation of kids, whose parents grew up listening to guitar or orchestral music, who can recreate that themselves using laptops and other technology… So what does the next generation do?" he said.

Bone Marrow Transplant
|Study ID
|Acute Lymphoid Leukemia (ALL);
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Hematologic Malignancies
Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Myeloproliferative Syndromes (MPD)
|Phase II
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects, good or bad, of an experimental type of transplant in people with acute leukemia or advanced myelodysplastic syndromes. This study is being done to see whether or not this type of transplant protects study participants against graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). (GVHD is a complication that can happen after a transplant.)
The type of transplant used in this study is called a selective T-cell depleted transplant. Certain cells (CD45RA+ naive T-cells) will be removed from the donated stem cells in the laboratory after the cells are collected from the donor but before they are given to the study participant. The naïve T cells are thought to cause GVHD.
Participants will receive outpatient treatment at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) and will be admitted to the University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC) or Seattle Children?s for those parts of their care requiring hospitalization.
All study procedures will be completed by about one year after transplant. After that point we will be monitoring study participants as part of the long-term follow-up program for post-transplant complications.
- Diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or advanced myleodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
- Age 14-55
- Eligible for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)
- Appropriately matched, sibling donor is available
Other eligibility criteria may apply.
- Pregnant or breast-feeding
- Undergoing second hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)
- Central nervous system (CNS) involvement that does not respond to intrathecal chemotherapy and/or standard cranial-spinal radiation
- Uncontrolled infections
- Organ dysfunction
- Known hypersensitivity to tacrolimus
Other exclusion criteria may apply.
See this trial at ClinicalTrials.gov
Access protocol and consent forms at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
Please remember:
- Talk to your health care providers first before making decisions about your health care.
- Whether you are eligible for a research study depends on many things. There are specific requirements to be in research studies. These requirements are different for each study.

I started off in my same seat as always in the charter bus with Morgan Carlson next to me for this five-hour bus ride to Houston! I busted out some paperwork, put in my headphones and covered up with my blanket. We put in a few movies until we had to stop for an inspection on the highway that took forever! We finally were back on the road and into Houston. We stopped by the hotel to change and then got ready for practice at Rice.
Practice was crazy competitive we stated off with short court, which the coaches played with us. Then we did some game day defense and got into a five game match of Columbus, which is basically 5-on-5 where every time the ball goes over the net we rotate. It's crazy fast and competitive with no blocks! This is the game where people usually get hit in the face! It was two wins apiece where the coaches and seniors were on one side with a few freshmen vs. everyone else. It got down to the last game to 15 and coach decided he's going to make it interesting. He yells out next game wins the whole thing and gets dinner first! Well this sparks everyone's interest because it involves food, and we just really wanted to beat the coaches. It was probably the most competitive set of the match and my team won. We got iced up after shaking hands and went and ate Mexican food for dinner. After dinner we headed back toward the bus and we saw a homeless man walking toward our bus. He walked right up to the door and tried to get on and I turned around to coach Kim running up to him yelling sternly, "NO! NO SIR! STEP AWAY FROM THE BUS!" He replied with, "Well can I ride with you guys?" Kim answered back with, "NO!" We all couldn't believe it! We got back to the hotel a little late and got in bed quickly because we had to be up early.
We all woke up and headed downstairs for breakfast. We had the entire conference room to ourselves. After breakfast we had mandatory study hall in our rooms, which is hard to do because we have to stay awake!! I got a lot of work done...gotta keep up with the classes that I miss. After that we headed out to pregame meal! We usually order our food a few days before and I never remember so it's like a game of what am I going to get today! Haha. Logan Bourque then braided my side bangs back like she does for every game and I heated up my shoulder and back. We take about two hours to prep for games, an hour of getting dressed and dancing and then an hour of warm ups on the court. My Houston fans came out in full force for the Rice match. My sisters, brother, mom and dad, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and all sorts of friends! Rice is a very fast team with some tall girls. We stayed right up with them but not enough to push ahead and win. Although, we were upset about the outcome we knew we had two very tough matches left to play. We fought incredibly hard, harder than any other match and that has become the new standard for Islanders Volleyball. After the match, we ate some pasta for a carb load before bed!
We woke up at the crack of dawn for our 10 a.m. match and had to eat breakfast before 7 a.m. and leave before 8 a.m. We had a very solid warm up and a good strong match against LSU, but couldn't come out victorious. Although we have had a lot of unfortunate endings the team has grown tremendously with each point! We had a small break in between matches to go see friends and family. My parents were in the stands again, gotta love Houston!
We all came back then to scout UALR. During that match, we learned there were three Bosnia girls over the height of 6-foot-2 and could slam the ball straight down! That match went to five sets and UALR out powered Rice and took the match! We had three hours until our match. Coach was generous and said we could get some fresh air and go walk around the campus! Brianna Brink and I took off together as we always do and walked straight toward some cool sculptures! We headed back after an hour and into the gym for our last match of the weekend! We played UALR in a nail biting five-set match in which we won 15-13! It was the craziest match we have had to date! I was so pumped with the team! It was a great way to end the weekend! We then got back on the bus and headed back to Corpus.
On Sunday, it rained so hard in Corpus that we had a severe weather warning and a flash flood warning. I woke up and went outside to go to rehab with TK, our athletic trainer, but I couldn't leave the house with how bad the rain and flooding was! It was crazy. The water was getting really high on the cars! Valarie Moehrig's exhaust pipe was completely covered and some of the girls were trying to get her out! It was a hilarious scene of the volleyball girls in the pouring rain trying to move cars! So we figured since we were already wet we might as well have some fun! There was a guy with a kayak in the bed of his truck and so I convinced Shayla Maldonado to go and ask to ride it with me! We asked and he took it out and gave us a paddle. We went all up and down the street in the knee-deep water. It was a blast! Shaquinn Parker and a few of the other girls came back and joined in. We were definitely a sight to see! That was one of the best days off I have had in my two years here!
Waking up the next morning I was ready for action!! Going to class was a struggle because I could only think about playing in our home opener. We did our walk-through practice around 2 p.m., we did the normal drills and went through the lineup. We finished and went back to the locker room to get prepared for the game! Coach then came in the locker room for his speech at 5:15 p.m. and then we did our full hour warm-up and drills. He gave us a pretty amped speech and we left in a frenzy of excitement! The match had a record attendance! We couldn't have been happier with that and although the match didn't turn out the way we wanted to we still fought and grew stronger as a team! We can't wait for our next home match and we hope the fans come out with the same excitement as this one!!
Tomorrow we leave for Arlington for the Hilton Maverick Classic. Thanks for hangin' with me and I can't wait to update you after our final pre-conference tournament.

Every year, the folks behind the Oscar telecast promise a show that's livelier, funnier, hipper, shorter ... and yet they never deliver. Here are five things we'd do to fix the show:
1. Inject some girl power: Hire Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as hosts. They were a hilarious hit at the Golden Globes and play so well together.
2. Jazz up those speeches: Hollywood has assistants for everything. It's time to assign a speech writer to each award nominee so we can avoid those long, boring laundry lists of names.
3. Dump some categories: Let the behind-the-scenes techie nerds have their own night to themselves. Our rule: If you've never appeared on screen, we don't want you on ours.
4. Get back to five best-picture nominees: Nine or 10 films are too many to care about and it takes too much time to honor them all. Less is more.
5. Always have Jack Nicholson in the front row: This is a must. No exceptions. Even if the Lakers are playing across town.

Venturing in Northeastern Pennsylvania
What Is Venturing?
Venturing is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth, adult leaders, and organizations in their communities. Local community organizations establish a Venturing crew by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of exciting and meaningful activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, to grow, to develop leadership skills, and to become good citizens.
Venturing crews can specialize in a variety of avocation or hobby interests. Venturing programs are developed around six experience areas of emphasis: Citizenship; Leadership; Fitness; Social; Outdoor; Service.
Venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years of age.
Venturing's purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.
The Purposes of Venturing
Young adults involved in Venturing will:
- Learn to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling the values in the Venturing Oath and Code
- Experience a program that is fun and full of challenge and adventure
- Become a skilled training and program resource for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and other groups
- Acquire skills in the areas of high adventure, sports, arts and hobbies, youth ministries, or Sea Scouting
- Experience positive leadership from adult and youth leaders and be given opportunities to take on leadership roles
- Have a chance to learn and grow in a supportive, caring, and fun environment.
Personal Growth
The methods of Venturing have been carefully chosen to meet the needs of young adults and help them grow into adulthood with confidence and fully developed interpersonal skills that can help them throughout their lifetime. These methods are:
- Voluntary association between youth and adults. Because Venturing is voluntary, youth are receptive to new ideas, experiences, and relationships. For the youth members, these relationships provide a connection to new ways of thinking and acting, and a new identity as a responsible young adult.
- Ethical decision-making. By asking young people to be responsible for themselves, for a program of positive activities and experiences, and for other people, Venturing provides numerous opportunities for making decisions and ethical choices. With the influence of positive adult role models and structured activities, youth learn to make effective and ethical decisions.
- Group activities. Venturing activities are interdependent group experiences in which success is dependent on the cooperation of all youth and adults.
- Recognition of achievement. Recognition might come through the achievement of one of the many awards available to youth members, but peers and adults also achieve it through the acknowledgement of a young person's competence and abilities.
- Democratic process. Venturing crews provide exposure to democratic ideas and skills that are needed throughout life.
- Curiosity, exploration, and adventure. New experiences and Venturing activities provide an excellent opportunity for acquiring new skills and participating in action-oriented activities.
The Venturing Oath
As a Venturer,
I promise to do my duty to God
and help strengthen America,
to help others, and to seek truth, fairness,
and adventure in our world.
The Venturing Code
As a Venturer, I believe that America's strength lies in our trust in God and in the courage, strength, and traditions of our people. I will, therefore, be faithful in my religious duties and will maintain a personal sense of honor in my own life. I will treasure my American heritage and will do all I can to preserve and enrich it. I will recognize the dignity and worth of all humanity and will use fair play and goodwill in my daily life.; I will acquire the Venturing attitude that seeks truth in all things and adventure on the frontiers of our changing world.
The Outdoor Code
As an American, I will do my best to -
Be clean in my outdoor manners.
I will treat the outdoors as a heritage.
I will take care of it for myself and others
I will keep my trash and garbage out of lakes, streams, fields, woods, and roadways.
Be careful with fire.
I will prevent wildfire.
I will build my fires only where they are appropriate.
When I have finished using a fire, I will make sure it is cold out.
I will leave a clean fire ring, or remove all evidence of my fire.
Be considerate in the outdoors.
I will treat public and private property with respect.
I will use low-impact methods of hiking and camping.
Be conservation minded
I will learn how to practice good conservation of soil, waters, forests, minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy.
I will urge others to do the same.

That's not to say SJSU would take down the Irish, but when combined with the Spartans' three-point loss at Stanford, it's a pretty solid indication that they're a quality team on any level -- WAC, Independent, B1G, Pac-12.
Truer words have never been spoken, at least on the corner of Seventh and Alma.
A stellar season for the Spartans got even better with what could reasonably be considered their best win since beating Stanford in 2006.
Whether he's interesting in leaving SJSU is a discussion for another time, but I have to think the Spartans are reworking MacIntyre's contract.
If not: What are they waiting for?
Keith Smith's game-saving blitz/fumble forced was the play of the game, but SJSU was sturdy throughout, holding BYU to 2.6 yards per rush and a 33 percent third-down conversion rate.
Oh, and don't forget the four sacks and three turnovers forced.
It's one thing to carve up UTSA and New Mexico State, quite another to post those numbers against BYU.
How must emotional fuel will the Bulldogs have left?
This will be the best test for SJSU's defense since Utah State ... and maybe the best test of the season.
LaTech leads the country in scoring, and not all of its big games have come against second-tier WAC foes: The Bulldogs posted 57 points on Texas A&M and 41 on Utah State.

My turn...
EEE is really bad stuff DH, you're wise to stay indoors 'til cold weather arrives.
I warmed for 1.5 miles, then ran 7 X 400 X 60 second intervals @ just under 5K pace. I wanted to run 6, but uh, lost count. One of those senior moments maybe? lol Anyway, splits were 1:50, (7:20 pace) 1:49, 1:47, 1:49, 1:48, 1:48 and 1:48, then a 1.5 mile cool down. I suppose I could go out and run another 1/4 mile to give me 5 total, but will stick with the 4.75...
And here's a link to a good read for anyone interested in running faster http://http://www.active.com/running/Articles/How-to-Maximize-Your-VO2max-Training.htm

I couldn't live with myself if I ran 4.75 miles. I would have to run another lap to make it 5 even. Not that I'm compulsive or anything.

I'm a dark horse, running on a dark race course.

Rich, good article; I have made it a favorite in my folder of Running links.
Last night when I ran my last mile on the treadmill in 6:39 with 1% incline, I may not have been far off my current VO2 max. During the mile I was not sure I could complete it without slowing down--felt very uncomfortable. However, I hung in there desperately. Partly it was sinful pride: I thought, "I should be able to do this."
If I can do more fast training, I should be OK for next month's 2 mile running event as part of my Army fitness test. It's age-graded; at my age of 54, all I have to run is something like 14:49 to get the max score of 100 points. Depends on my knee.
Dark Horse
I'm a dark horse, running on a dark race course.
DH, one of the workouts I've been doing each week is the 1/2 mile interval sessions. I've treated them like a vo2 max workout by taking short breaks between each interval, just 60 seconds. The idea is to keep my breathing rate up by rolling right into the next interval after just a short break, the longer you stay in the zone the more benefit there is. For me, running 8 intervals in 3:40 or so means I'm there for roughly 25 minutes of the workout.
One of the mistakes I made early on was running too fast. When I started with the 30/30 stuff, I found a secluded area where there's a short section of highway no longer in use. I marked a spot on the ground, hit my stop watch and took off full out. 30 seconds later I hit my watch and marked that spot as well. I now had my course set up, just run between the 2 marks, right? Not really, running full out is asking to get hurt and I did.
A better way is to run a measured distance, figure out how fast you have to run that distance to run your 5K pace minus a few seconds and leave it at that.
This workout does work, I set 2 course PR's this spring. A 5K by 55 seconds and a half marathon by 1 minute 21 seconds.
Glad you liked the article. I wanted to edit my original post to clean it up, but there's no option for that when you start a new thread. There should be...
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
The VO2 Max workouts sound painful. I guess I'm not doing my intervals right, too much rest time inbetween. I gotta ask tho,
55 seconds in the 5K and is that 1 minute 22 seconds on the 1/2 or 1 hour 21 minutes?
DH, man a 6:36! Smokin! Haven't braved going that fast for a whole mile. But, I guess if you want to run fast, you gotta go fast.
6 miles today. Didn't feel very lively at the start so figured instead of my speed workout I would just try and run for about a 10k time.
First 2 miles have my major hill work and was trying to push the pace going up and at bout 2.5 miles was getting a head wind. Hit 3 miles in 26:30. Felt ok so decided to try for a negative split and at 3.3 miles got a tail wind. Mile 4 in 7:58, mile 5 in 8:11 and mile 6 in 7:38.
Total time 50:17 for an average of 8:17. Finished it off with a .6 mile walk.
Ray, the 1:21 was a minute and 21 seconds...lol
Most interval workouts are geared to just running faster. One example would be for a 5K workout. When you run the intervals faster than your current 5K pace, what you're doing is running a faster 5K, but with breaks thrown in. The idea being you'll eventually be able to cover the entire distance at the new pace without breaks. And most workouts tell you to jog 1/2 the distance you just ran, or take a 3 minute break, etc., you're supposed to rest between repeats.
Since V02 max workouts are meant to have you out of breath, I just decided to get the benefit of both workouts by just shortening the breaks. I dunno, it just made sense to me, but maybe I'm missing something.
Nice run Ray...
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
No run for me today. Played golf and walked a hilly course.
I played with about twelve guys in their 50's - 60's. Only three of us walked. A number of the riders smoked and many complained about aches and pains. Go figure.
It is sad that so many American's are overweight and out of shape. We are lucky indeed to be "runners"!!

STOCKTON – A 28-year-old man who was being arrested early today on suspicion of assaulting an underage girl he was in a dating relationship with turned his anger on a Stockton police officer and required a wrap device to subdue him after kicking the officer, authorities reported.
The suspect, Rigoberto Salgado, 28, was taken to San Joaquin General Hospital where he was prebooked before he was jailed on suspicion of battery, resisting arrest, assault on an officer and narcotics charges, according to a report.
Police got a call around 1:20 a.m. today regarding a man assaulting a woman in the middle of the intersection at California and Lindsay streets just northeast of downtown. They learned that the suspect and victim were in a dating relationship and Salgado allegedly struck her in the face during an argument.
As Salgado became uncooperative and continued to interrupt interviews, officers attempted to put him in the back of a patrol car. He refused to get up off the ground and had to be carried, at which point he kicked the officer several times in the shin. When the officer released him, Salgado got back on the ground and began slamming his head into the concrete, claiming he was going to kill himself, police reported.
This led to a small laceration on his head, and the wrap was deployed to help control Salgado. While searching him, officers also discovered 0.46 grams of crystal methamphetamine, according to a report.

VAIL — Michael McBee, of Dallas, wasn't expecting to ski knee-deep powder at this time of year — and he certainly wasn't expecting to be doing it in Vail's Back Bowls.
McBee and other skiers and snowboarders were treated to fresh tracks on Sun Up and Sun Down bowls Thursday morning when Chair 5 began operation at about 9:30 a.m.
"It's phenomenal," said McBee, who frequently visits Vail. "There's great powder, and I hit the glades. The snow is absolutely amazing for this time of year. I actually didn't know (the bowls) were going to open, or I would have brought my powder skis. I was just hoping for the whole front face to be open, but I got up here today, and they said Chair 5 was open. I hit some snow up to my knees this morning."
The mountain now has 2,000 acres of open terrain, and the resort hopes to open portions of China Bowl by Saturday. Lift operating hours will also be extended beginning Saturday by a half hour in the morning. The majority of lifts will open at 8:30 a.m. and close at 3:30 p.m. Lift operating hours are posted at the base of all open lifts. The Back Bowl debut comes more than a full week earlier than last season, thanks to a winter storm that brought more than a foot of snow to Vail last week.
"The start of the 2013-2014 ski and snowboard season in Vail has been fantastic," said Chris Jarnot, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Vail Mountain. "To be adding the Back Bowls to the mix and rolling back operating hours in time for the Christmas holiday is a huge benefit for our guests and something that continues to set Vail apart from the industry. We're hopeful that we'll be able to open even more terrain soon."
Beav' opens three areas
Beaver Creek also plans to vastly expand its open terrain this weekend with the opening of Grouse Mountain, Larkspur Bowl and Arrowhead beginning Saturday. That means 77 percent of its terrain and 23 of 25 lifts will be open. Skiers will gain 30 minutes more to play on the slopes beginning Saturday when lift operating hours shift to an 8:30 a.m. opening for the remainder of the season.
"Our teams at Beaver Creek have done a remarkable job of preparing the mountain and our facilities as quickly as possible, capitalizing on great early season snowfall and snowmaking conditions," said Doug Lovell, chief operating officer for Beaver Creek Resort.
All on-mountain restaurants will be open for the season on Saturday, including Talons Restaurant and Broken Arrow at Arrowhead. The new Talons Restaurant celebrates its grand opening on Saturday serving hearty fare from its new alpine-inspired menu beginning at 11 a.m. Beano's and Zach's cabins will begin dinner service today.
Terrain park enthusiasts can visit Park 101 which has 19 beginner features including jumps, boxes and rails. Nordic skiers and snowshoers will have 25 kilometers of dedicated trails to explore in McCoy Park starting this Saturday. Beaver Creek's Ski School will also be offering private and group lessons for adults and kids.
Good for business
All this early season snow is also helping out local businesses, and an early Back Bowl opening always reflects well with potential guests, said Chris Romer, CEO of the Vail Valley Partnership.
"Snow is a big, big part of booking and makes a difference for the early season leading up to the holidays," said Romer, adding that following last week's snowstorms, bookings are up considerably compared to last year.
Good early season snow not only encourages last minute vacationers to book their trips, but also makes for a better experience once guests are here, he said.
"The under appreciated part of this is the morale, attitude and vibe in town is much more positive when there's good snow and the Bowls open this early," he said. "That's a better experience for guests even if they don't ever go back there. The other aspect of this is that it alleviates the fears of some guests who aren't sure how the snow will be."
According to the Partnership's numbers and sales from the booking site www.vailonsale.com, the number of guests booking trips is up "double digits" compared to last year. The numbers so far are also beating the winter of 2009-10, a record snow year.
"We're ahead of pace in mountain conditions, and that shows in the lodging," Romer said.
That's certainly been the case for visiting Australians Jordan and Marryn Summers, who were on their last day of skiing on Vail Mountain when Chair 5 opened. On Thursday morning, they were headed for the Bowls, which they heard is known for deep snow and beautiful views.
"The skiing has been absolutely fantastic. The snow's been incredible, and the terrain is so diverse," said Jordan Summers. "Now I see why people ski here. We'll definitely be coming back."

This amphora-shaped vase without handles clearly illustrates the virtuosity of Baccarat thanks to the new acid engraving procedure recently developed by the chemist Kessler.
The bacchanalia patterns (Bacchus in a chariot pulled by two tigers on one side, Ariadne (?) in a carriage drawn by two horses on the other) stand out in pink on a white background in the style of an antique cameo. Between the main subjects is a frieze of palmettes and scrolls providing a beautiful decorative effect.
In the 19th century, Baccarat Crystal was the leading glass producer in France. Despite competition from foreign firms, it won the grand medal of honour at the Universal Expositions in 1855 and 1867. Commentators at the Exposition in 1867 even considered French crystal to be superior to English crystal "in terms of the diversity of products, variety and good taste of the shapes".
The acquisition of this vase, other copies of which exist at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, in blue crystal on a white background, completes the Petit Palais' collection of glass works, which includes many items from the Art Nouveau period but few from the previous period, with the exception of a pitcher of Bracquemond's "Water Glass".

WASHINGTON (December 2, 2012)--House Speaker John Boehner said Sunday he was "flabbergasted" when Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner pitched the White House plan to save the nation from the "fiscal cliff."
Boehner told "Fox News Sunday" that after Geithner briefed him privately Thursday, he looked at Geithner and said, "You can't be serious."
Boehner called it "silliness" that the White House was, among other things, asking Congress to give up its power to set the nation's debt limit.
President Barack Obama's plan calls for $1.6 trillion in higher taxes over the next decade.
Boehner, R-Ohio, said he's willing to rethink tax deductions for the wealthiest Americans, but declined to provide further specifics. The White House says the GOP tax proposals so far wouldn't pull in as much revenue as they claim.

There's new information about proposed new power lines for a Meridian Park property. Mississippi Power spokesman, Jeff Shepard, says company officials have been working on this proposal for months.
'This isn't a project that just started last week, we've been in talks with city officials.'
Shepard says Mississippi Power officials have met with city leaders in Meridian and answered their questions. If approved, he says the lines will not be anywhere close to the lakes at Bonita, but instead close to Highway 45.
"The site has been permitted,' says Shepard. 'We've gotten federal and state permits and then looked at what is the way that we can have the least amount of disruption to homes, businesses and the city and that's the path that we currently picked.'
The proposed site for the new power lines crosses Bonita Lakes Property. The lines, which would rest about 50 feet in the air, are called transmission lines. Transmitting about 235-thousand volts of electricity, they're the ones that will transfer power directly from the lignite coal plant in Kemper County to a substation in Vimville and then to customers. The lines will also serve as a backup power source for the company's northern region, if power lines on the coast are damaged by a storm.
As for the substation in Vimville, work on it is now underway. It's one of several new substations being built to support the new plant in Kemper.
'We are proposing to build six new transmission lines and five new substations and we're also going to be upgrading three transmission lines and three substations,' says Shepard. 'So, not only is this the largest construction and generation plant built in Mississippi Power's history, this is also the biggest transmission project that we have done as well.'
If the Meridian City Council approves the request at its meeting Tuesday, work on the lines is expected to possibly start within a month's time.

Recently, I have noticed that in doing most tasks, my thoughts don't center on the task itself, but rather "How can I make this process more efficient?"
In vacuum-cleaning, I find myself calculating whether it would be best to start in tiled or carpeted rooms to achieve maximum efficiency. In applying makeup, I am constantly refining my routine to see how much faster I am able to get ready. Even in writing down directions, I take out all "excess words," sticking to basic Left-Right directions and exits to "skim them" more efficiently during driving.
Each time I perform a task, I think: "What is the best way to organize this so that it can be done more efficiently?" This is something people think about daily but on an unconscious level because it has become so embedded into our train of thought; we have become a society obsessed with notions of "better" and "faster."
This fundamental of efficiency began during the Industrial Revolution, grew with Henry Ford's assembly line, but has truly resonated in this age of microchips and technological advances. Evolving technology and efficiency are now seemingly inseparable ideas. In basic thought, our society now lives on the fundament of Moore's Law.
Moore's Law states that the performance of a microchip will double every 18 months, meaning that our technological capabilities will also double every 18 months, which ultimately translates to our efficiency methods doubling every 18 months. Hence, we are a society changing every 18 months, something that has a great impact, both negative and positive, on our sociocultural composition.
Having such a rapidly evolving culture means more work. Yes, we have found a way to streamline work, but at a latent cost. When efficiency is increased, multi-tasking becomes second nature, and workloads increase because each task can now be done in less time, meaning more tasks can be piled into one day. We have expanded our working capacity by way of multi-tasking. Therefore, always focusing on efficiency and a means of getting things done faster has inadvertently created a society where we get things done faster to do even "more things" in one day.
Also, in making things better by means of efficiency, our society's conceptualization of form matching functionality has drastically changed. The 2009 documentary, "Objectified," points to such a notion where designers and engineers are manufacturing products whose form looks more complicated than the actual function. An example used during the documentary was the iPhone.
In looking at the iPhone, one sees a slim, compact, rectangular object with a sleek screen that can be turned in all different directions, not necessarily what is traditionally defined as a phone with features such as buttons, antenna, cord, etc. The reason for such a space-age looking phone? The efficient microchip inside of it that allows it to do more than just make phone calls. Hence, efficiency has evolved our phones from chunky, mounted objects into nearly unrecognizable portable, mini computers.
Lastly, sometimes the drive for efficiency backfires and makes things less functional. For example, Facebook has implemented its Timeline layout. The timeline is supposed to enhance the user's experience on Facebook by making it easier to connect with others, share photos, customize cover photos to express individual tastes, etc.
The goal was to make Facebook more efficient and user-friendly, but now, in my opinion, it seems more difficult to use. There isn't anything streamlined about the new layout; there are two sides to the wall, obscure tabs to page components, an annoying activity feed.
Basically, the poor design works in opposition to the initial goal of efficiency by making the user-experience more confusing. The old Facebook layouts were fine, efficient; if anything, the new layout should have been optional.
We develop efficiency to make our present work easier just so we can create space for more work later on. Thus, our refinement of efficiency can actually lead us to inundation.
Moreover, efficiency has masked the adage of "if it isn't broken, then don't fix it," creating more complex, convoluted experiences. Efficiency is not a terrible thing, rather a sign of societal change, but it is important to remember that it is not without caveats.
Hence, while striving for efficiency has led to great innovations, it has also created a rather dizzying, paradoxical notion of how we function as a society.

SAN JOSE -- Like everything else connected with the NHL lately, the planned release Saturday of a lockout-shortened, 48-game schedule became an agonizing process.
Morning became night, but eventually Sharks fans learned that their team would open its season in Calgary on Jan. 20, play in Edmonton two nights later, and then return home to face the Phoenix Coyotes on Jan. 24 for the first of six consecutive games at HP Pavilion.
As expected, players Saturday did ratify the new 10-year labor pact approved by owners earlier in the week. But lawyers still needed to hammer out the language in a memorandum of understanding tied to the agreement. Until that was done shortly before 7:30 p.m. PST, the lockout was not officially over and announcement of the league schedule remained on hold.
Fans weren't the only ones left hanging as without the final piece of the new agreement in place, coach Todd McLellan had no idea whether training camp would start Sunday as planned, or what the rules might be.
"We have three different plans right now," McLellan said late Saturday morning. "We start, everything's normal and away we go. Or there are new transition rules and we're guessing, maybe this happens. Or we may not even get the go ahead to start tomorrow and it might be a different day."
He added: "We will use our time as efficiently as possible and get the most out of it as possible — we just don't know what that time is."
Aware of the schedule before it was officially released, McLellan seemed relieved the task ahead wasn't more daunting.
"It's quirky, but it's not the disaster it could have been," he said.
Here are the highlights of the schedule that keeps all NHL teams inside their own conference:

A U.S. District Court judge who sentenced them Feb. 8 said they would have two weeks to file expected appeals with the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.
The defendants have challenged the constitutionality of the federal hate crimes act as overly broad. The judge rejected the claim before their trial last year.
Ringleader Sam Mullet Sr. has been sentenced to 15 years, and the co-defendants, all members of his extended family, got sentences of one year to seven years.
They were convicted in five attacks in Ohio Amish communities in 2011 in apparent retaliation against Amish who had defied or denounced Mullet's authoritarian style.
The jury sided with prosecution arguments that the defendants should be found guilty of a hate crime because religious differences brought about the attacks.
The government said Mullet orchestrated the attacks and controlled members of his Amish settlement in Bergholz near Steubenville.

PARKERSBURG - A Wood County man who found a bank deposit on the road on his way to work Monday morning wasted no time returning the money.
Robert Lent spotted the plastic bag on Gihon Road near Hope Hill. The deposit slip indicated the money was from the nearby Winding Road Church of Christ, Lent said.
"Saw a bag - a sandwich bag - that looked like it had money in it," he said. "I stopped and picked it up and saw it was a deposit for the church."
An equipment operator at the West Virginia Division of Highways, Lent called the church secretary who contacted the Wood County Sheriff's Department.
"I found it belonged to a church and turned it in. I would have turned it in anyway," Lent said.
When Lent arrived for work, a deputy sheriff was waiting.
"He was there and I handed it over," Lent said.
Lent, a Jackson County native, who lives on Gihon Road, has worked for the Division of Highways for eight years. Lent, who made sure the money was returned to the church, declined to say how much was in the deposit.
The money was returned to the church Monday morning, the Wood County Sheriff's Office said.
A spokesman for the Winding Road Church of Christ could not be reached for comment.

I think I've mentioned before that hubby and I both teeter on the edge of having high blood sugar levels, so I really do try to substitute Splenda when I can for the sugar in a lot of my recipes. However, if Splenda is not your thing, just use regular sugar. And if you're not a whole wheat junkie like I am, use regular all-purpose flour. See how we can all play in the same sandbox and get along famously?
5 eggs, divided, room temperature
8 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/3 cups Splenda, divided
3 TBSP milk
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (this was two medium-large bananas for me)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Spray a 15x10x1 jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cream together one whole egg, the cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the Splenda, the cinnamon and milk until well blended. Pour/spread into the prepared pan. Set aside.
Divide the remaining eggs into white and yolks. In a medium mixing bowl beat together the 4 egg yolks, banana and vanilla until well blended. Gradually add 1/3 cup of the Splenda and beat well.
In another mixing both beat the 4 egg whites, adding the remaining 1/2 cup Splenda gradually. Beat until stiff. Gently fold into the banana mixture.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg. Gently fold into the banana mixture, being careful not to beat down the egg whites. Lightly pour or distribute over the cream cheese filling in the pan. Top with the chopped pecans.
Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes (this took 18 minutes for me because I was using an insulated jelly roll pan) Keep a close eye on it and as soon as the top springs back lightly and pulls from the side of the pan, it's done. Pull the pan from the oven and dust liberally with powdered sugar if desired.
Run a very thin knife around the edge of the pan. Place a clean, smooth-textured kitchen towel on top of the cake and quickly flip over. Gently peel off the parchment paper. If some of the filling sticks to the parchment, scrape it off with a spatula and replace it on the cake. Roll up the cake starting with the short side. Do not let the towel roll into the cake but use it to act as a guide. Lift it in the towel and set it on the serving plate, unrolling just enough so it isn't sitting on the towel. Tuck the towel around the sides while the cake sets. After 20 minutes, remove the towel. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Dust again with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

In China vaccines are classified into two categories: government "planned immunization" vaccines and "nonplanned immunization" or "charged" vaccines (Table 1). The first category of vaccines is subsidized and ordered by the government, and eventually supplied to Chinese citizens (mostly children) at no charge. The second category is for-profit with high margins of 30–40% for imported vaccines and more than 50% for domestic vaccines.1 These are "charged for," or "nonplan-ned"vaccines, produced by manufacturers based on the market demand. The charged vaccines may be purchased by consumers voluntarily. The market for the first category of vaccines is controlled by the government and the second is open to domestic or international companies. These two markets are predicted to grow to roughly equal market shares ultimately.2MARKET BACKGROUND
Large population, many newborns
China's population reached 1.3 billion in 2005 and will approach 1.4 billion in the next decade. The state has managed to control its birth rate to between 1.2% and 1.3%. Each year, approximately 17 million Chinese babies are born and all are suppose to receive vaccination. Based on this number, the following vaccine doses are needed each year for newborn babies:1

I draw a line from left to right (this is saied to give the orientation of my (segment of) line).
Some where opn this line, I draw a circle witch contain a part of the line and wherein I will keep the line.
Out of this circle, the line will be erased.
To do that, I select the tool "Adjust" (rm).
With this tool, I have to select first the circle and than the line I want to adjust to the circle.
I can adjust the line where the line goes out of the circle but not where the line comes in the circle.
I can adjust the gree part of the line by erasing the blue part of the line but it is impossible to adjust the line by the orange direction and erase the red part of the line either I click in or out the circle.
See an example of what I meen there :

I've observed from a far, experienced firsthand, and read about my fair share of good marriages. But sadly, I've also watched, dealt with myself, and read about people in terribly unhealthy relationships. And, I have to say that one of the most consistent characteristics of a happy marriage is respect. Spouses must have respect for one another in order to make it work. Individuals who do not respect one another tend to end up either creating a parent-child relationship with their spouse, having high levels of conflict in their relationship, developing a roommate relationship with their spouse, or even breaking up. Speaking to your spouse with respect is a mindset that is necessary in your marriage.
Respectful communication includes
- acknowledging one another's thoughts, feelings, and point of view,
- having your partner's back (even if you think s/he is not correct),
- speaking to your spouse as if s/he is your equal,
- including him/her in your life and in your decisions about life (big decisions like where to move and smaller, everyday decisions like what to do on a Saturday night),
- asking (instead of telling) your mate if s/he wants to do things,
- and speaking to your mate in the same manner that you would speak to a stranger (if you wouldn't say it to a random person on the street, then you probably shouldn't say it to the one you love).
On the other hand, respectful communication DOES NOT include
- criticizing your partner (eliminate words like "never" or "always" from your vocabulary when talking about human behavior),
- belittling or demeaning your partner,
- making fun of your partner (this is never cool),
- treating your spouse like a child,
- bossing him/her around (your spouse is an adult, treat him/her like one),
- threatening to leave the relationship ("I'm so done with this" or "I think I want a divorce." You should never say things that threaten your relationship unless you actually want to leave.),
- and giving ultimatums (sorry, but these usually backfire).
The bottom line: marriages cannot successfully survive without respect. Figure it out or get ready for some hardship.-->
