BURNABY, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/14/14 -- Icron Technologies Corporation, a leader in USB and video extension technology, today announced that HY-LINE Computer Components a specialized distributor and representative of high-tech products, will be showing Icron's newest USB 2.0 embedded core extender modules at the embedded world exhibition at booth 1-170 in Hall 1 from February 25th - 27th at Nurnberg, Germany.
The USB 2.0 RG2300 Core Series builds upon Icron's previous generations of reliable embedded USB 2.0 extension daughter board modules by maintaining the benefits of ExtremeUSB® extension technology enhanced by newly added capabilities such as data transmission over Local Area Network (LAN), SwitchableUSB compatibility, Device Class Filtering options, and faster performance with read-write devices such as flash drives. To enable an easy development transition, this next generation integrated USB 2.0 extension solution is delivered in a compact, cost-effective SO-DIMM form factor with pin compatibility to Icron's earlier RG2100 Core modules. With the flexibility of extending USB 2.0 at 480Mbps over copper, fiber and LAN, OEM developers enjoy full control in how USB extension integrates with their products. The RG2300 Core Series modules support USB 2.0 extension up to 100 meters over Cat X, up to 500 meters over multi-mode fiber, and up to 10 kilometers when using single-mode fiber.
"Icron's previous generation of core modules for embedded USB 2.0 extension served our OEM customers very well," said Guido Bruning, President at HY-LINE. "Now, the next generation ExtremeUSB RG2300 Core Series goes above and beyond with amazing new features such as extension over LAN, device filtering and SwitchableUSB which opens several new opportunities for USB integration to convert a video matrix switch into a KVM network switch."
"HY-LINE is well known for their expertise in embedded computing solutions," said Glenn Antonelli, Vice President of Marketing at Icron. "It is no surprise to see HY-LINE as the first distributor to showcase our new RG2300 Core Series considering their leadership position combined with Icron's certified integration partner status for USB extension."
As with all Icron extenders, the RG2300 Core Series modules include the ExtremeUSB suite of features:
-- Transparent USB extension -- True plug and play; no software drivers required -- Works with all major operating systems: Windows®, Mac OS X®, and Linux®
The RG2300 Core Series will be commercially available beginning February 24th. To learn more, please contact HY-LINE at [email protected].

SANTA CLARA -- The 46th Cable Car Classic got underway Friday night with the news that tournament co-founder and longtime benefactor Art Santo Domingo will not be part of the event in the future.
But Santa Clara athletic director Dan Coonan said the Cable Car -- which has featured the likes of Michael Jordan, Ralph Sampson and Steve Nash -- will be around for its 47th edition and beyond.
"Yes, we're going to continue it," Coonan said. "It's got a great tradition and it's certainly a recognizable brand nationally."
Still, Coonan conceded, "The lion's share of the funding will come from different sources."
Those sources are not yet identified, he said.
SMU and Wagner were meeting in the opening game Friday night at Leavey Center, with Santa Clara and Alcorn State in the second game. The tournament concludes Saturday.
Santo Domingo, 74, has been involved with the Cable Car since its inception in 1967. His financial contribution -- about $80,000 this year, he said -- pays for virtually every aspect of the tournament.
Santo Domingo said he and his wife of 48 years, Fran, both have faced health issues in recent years, and the Cable Car requires a great deal of time and energy. He also wants to devote money to help pay for the college education of his nine grandchildren.
"I'm backing down a little," he said. "A lot of (his financial commitment) will be gone. I hope they keep it going."
Santo Domingo said Santa Clara is free to continue using the Cable Car Classic brand.
"I'd like to see the tournament continue and kind of be my legacy," he said.
Coonan said he'd had a couple recent conversations with Santo Domingo. "We've known that at some point, for a variety of reasons, he would be pulling back."
Coonan said Santo Domingo's contributions have been invaluable.
"He's been great for college basketball, but especially for Santa Clara," Coonan said. "He's meant everything. So many people have gotten to know gim over the years, and they all love him."
Coonan said it's too early to know where the Broncos will get future funding. But he said the 2013 Cable Car already has been scheduled for Nov. 29-30 and that three teams are confirmed, although contracts have not been signed.
The Cable Car Classic is among the last of the big holiday tournaments that once dominated college basketball this time of year.
"When I was growing up there was the Holiday Festival, Dixie Classic, All-College Tournament, Far West Classic and the Cable Car," said SMU coach Larry Brown, 72. "Christmas tournaments are what they were about. That was phenomenal."
But they have become more difficult to stage in recent seasons because teams prefer to participate in events that do not count against the number of games they are allowed to play.
Those "exempted" events cannot include a "host" team that participates every season, except in the case of tournaments in Hawaii and Alaska.
Asked if the Cable Car might eventually try to secure "exempt" status by rotating the host among Bay Area schools, Coonan said nothing has been discussed, but anything is possible.
Early this week Broncos coach Kerry Keating praised the support Santo Domingo has provided and talked of putting together a special, expanded 50th Cable Car Classic in 2016, possibly featuring seven former champions.
"We'd like to do that," Coonan said. "We're focusing on what's going on right now."

Sweaters from New England Sheep Farms
by Candace Eisner Strick
Buy it Now at Amazon.com
If you've ever dreamed of chucking it all, moving to the country, raising sheep, and producing your own yarn, you must own this book.
Journey Through New England
Candace Eisner Strick traveled throughout New England with her loyal chauffeur husband, visiting farms and profiling the fiber artists who run them.
The Patterns
Inside you'll find profiles of the fiber artists, and then patterns that Strick designed for each fiber artist's yarns.
The Yarns
Although the patterns were written for each designer's yarn, Strick offers suggestions for substituting commercial yarns. Based on our experiences working with these yarns, however, you'll be well advised to seek out the yarns produced by these farmers instead of substituting.
The Long Road to Wellness
Each person in this book came to the fiber profession from slightly different paths. You'll learn about New York City advertising execs Margrit and Albrecht Pilcher who run Morehouse Farm; and Don and Heather Minto, caretakers of a working farm owned by the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities. And then there's Alice and Mike Field, who raise over 100 fiber-producing sheep, goats, and rabbits on their farm but humbly insist they are "just farmers."

SONOMA -- Jamie McMurray turned in another exceptional qualifying performance at Sonoma Raceway on Saturday, capturing the pole position for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 for the third time in eight years.
In NASCAR Sprint Cup's first use of its knockout-style qualifying on a road course, McMurray's average speed in the second round was 96.350 mph, setting a qualifying record for the 1.99-mile course. The previous mark was 95.262 mph, set in 2012 by Marcos Ambrose.
Los Gatos native AJ Allmendinger was second in 96.088 mph and will also start on the front row for Sunday's race.
Cup rookie and McMurray's Ganassi Racing teammate, Kyle Larson, was third at 95.942 mph, followed by Carl Edwards (95.857) and Kurt Busch (95.704). The top 12 from the first round of qualifying advanced to the second round.
The trick for McMurray now is turning his qualifying effort into a win. After winning the pole in 2007 and 2013, he finished 37th and 25th, respectively, due to a variety of factors. In 2007, for instance, he had a good enough car to win but ran out of gas.
"You have to have a good car and you have to make decisions as a driver. I just haven't been able to put it all together here," McMurray said. "I feel better probably about my car this year than I have in the past. I have qualified well here, but there have only been a few years I thought we had a really good race car."
McMurray was fifth after the first round of qualifying, gaining a spot in the top 12 in his second hot lap of the session. In the second round, his top time didn't come until the second half of the 10-minute session.
"This knockout qualifying is just an emotional roller-coaster," McMurray said. "From not making it in the top 12 having to go back out and bump your way in, to then being on the pole, there's a lot of highs and lows that go with it."
Allmendinger will start in the top 10 for just the second time this season and for the second time in six races in Sonoma.
Allmendinger, who entered this week, 21st in the driver standings, was 15th fastest in Friday's final practice session and may need a victory Sunday to gain a spot in the season-ending Chase for the Cup.
"To at least start the race up front, it's a huge relief," Allmendinger said.
Joey Logano had the best speed in the first round, averaging 96.197 mph. Behind him were Allmendinger, Busch, Ryan Newman and McMurray. Others to finish in the top 12 and advance were Danica Patrick, Brian Vickers, Casey Mears, Kevin Harvick and Paul Menard.
Of the drivers that finished in the top 10 in Sonoma last year, only Edwards, Busch and Harvick moved on to the second round.
Gordon, a five-time winner at Sonoma, qualified 15th with an average speed of 95.552 mph, barely behind Edwards, who was 12th after the first session when he had an average speed of 95.626.
"We pride ourselves on being good on the road courses especially here at Sonoma," Gordon said, adding that being that close to taking a spot inside the top 12, "is disappointing. But I think the bigger disappointment for us is how many guys went out and were so much faster the second time out and we didn't. That is a bit of a concern."

The optimization of a large-scale chromatography operation involved a strategy combining bench and pilot scale packing stability studies, and evaluation of hardware limitations at bench and large scales. 1 The effects of resin amount on column stability, hydrodynamic properties of compressible media, process resolution, and targeted recovery were evaluated at the bench scale. The process was scaled up for hardware and process performance evaluation. A robust packing procedure was developed at pilot scale to optimize system suitability, reduce the time required for packing, and improve process performance. The packing optimization provided an increased bed stability, which offered the basis to extend the number of chromatography cycles per packed column. The lifetime extension reduced resin costs per lot. The faster packing method and reduced frequency for packing reduced labor requirements for this step at large scale.
An alternative to the GS method is the flow consolidation (FS) method, which takes into consideration the hydrodynamic properties of compressible media, showing a linear relationship between height and flow (Figure 1). The linearity between bed height and flow can be expressed in terms easily read on a chromatography column tube (Equation 1):

The enemy of "Great" is "Good" ...
By John Morrison on Aug 31, 2007
OK, I borrowed that title from Jim Collin's book, Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't.
I think the fundamental principle of greatness tends to apply to people as much as it does to large groups of people a.k.a. organizations. Its so very easy to see the truth in the statement that "good" and "good enough" is the enemy to being "great".
Jim Collins goes on to state that ... "We don't have great schools, principally because we have good schools. We don't have great government, principally because we have good government. Few people attain great lives, precisely because it is easy to settle for a good life. The vast majority of companies never become great precisely because they become quite good. - and that is their main problem."
Ditto for most people, especially in companies, to reach the point of being good and then like the proverbial hare (in the race with the tortoise) to take a break and instead of proceeding further on, decide to stay with the status-quo within their comfort zone.
I tend to agree with this quote by Jack Kerouac, who raises a toast to ... "(Here's to ) the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
Truly, the ones who are not satisfied with just being part of the clockwork and who chose to be in a constant pursuit of perfection and betterment are the ones we can count upon to take us forward (and upward).
Before signing off this post, let me throw in a very apt quote from Woodrow Wilson which tends to hit the nail squarely on the heads of those denizens of the corporate world, who are content with their daily endeavor to make a living ... "You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand."
Lets go make a difference in whatever we are called to do. And, remember, "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success."

So I know the PS3 at least doesn't support shuffling videos (unless I'm missing something). So I'm wondering if PS3 Media Server could fill in this gap.
This feature mostly comes up with tv shows like the Simpsons or Futurama. I've pretty much seen all the episodes but they are fun to revisit every now and again, often times when I want them in the background. For this type of scenario shuffling would be ideal. Instead of having to go through all the season episodes, I just want to have a random episode selected.
Now maybe I'm off base and this isn't possible, but I was thinking that you could potentially handle this on the server side, since the PS3 as a client doesn't support it. Much like you have "videos" that provide functionality to change settings, add the first title on each playlist, folder as a special "Shuffle" one. When selected, PS3 media server will randomly pick something within that playlist and feed it out.
What do you think?

SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers claimed rookie wideout L'Damian Washington off waivers Sunday from the Dallas Cowboys, who happen to be their season-opening opponent in exactly five weeks.
Washington, an undrafted rookie out of Missouri, fills a roster spot created by the corresponding release of wideout Jon Baldwin. The 49ers got Baldwin last Aug. 19 from the Kansas City Chiefs for A.J. Jenkins, in a swap of first-round busts; Baldwin was a 2011 top pick and Jenkins the 49ers' No. 1 choice in 2012.
Washington is a 6-foot-4 receiver who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds at Missouri's pro day. He's overcome a life of hardship, having lost both his parents by the time he was 15.
Washington had 10 touchdowns at Missouri, an alma mater he shares with the 49ers' Justin Smith, Aldon Smith and Blaine Gabbert.
The 49ers have been short on wideouts in recent days. Michael Crabtree and Brandon Lloyd battle injuries that are expected to keep them out of Thursday night's exhibition opener at Baltimore.

HANOVER — After winning the first two games of the season by comfortable margins, the Waynesboro Indians varsity baseball team absorbed its first defeat on Thursday, losing to South Western 7-1 in a non-league game.
"The key thing is we left eight guys stranded in the first four innings," said Waynesboro head coach Greg Chandler. "We just couldn't get back to back hits. In the first inning we had runners on first and second and no outs and couldn't get anything."
Waynesboro also committed two costly errors that sparked big innings for the Mustangs.
"We had an error in the third that, if we didn't commit, we could have got by with them scoring one run instead of three," Chandler said. "There was another error in the fifth that sparked that inning."
The third and fifth innings proved to be the difference in the game as South Western plated three runs in the third and four more in the fifth.
The Indians, which left 10 runners on base in the game, scored their run in the fourth inning. Tim Ingram laid down a drag bunt and stole second. Courtesy runner James Bennett reached third on a wild pitch and Brandon Yurek singled him home.
"It just wasn't our day," Chandler said. "If we hit early in the game, it could have been different."
Three pitchers combined to six-hit Waynesboro, with Parker Bean holding the Tribe to just one hit while striking out six batters and walking none in the final three innings.
"We just need to practice outside. You can't start to go back to the drawing board in the gym and work on stuff," Chandler said. "Practice is essential for our team, even though we haven't played badly."
Waynesboro returns home to play Boiling Springs on Tuesday in a Mid-Penn Colonial Division game. First pitch is 4 p.m.

The biggest game of the weekend is a chance for Palo Alto quarterback Keller Chryst to do something he has yet to do: Beat Archbishop Mitty.
In two games against the Monarchs with Chryst under center, Palo Alto came up short both times, losing 28-27 at home last season and 27-21 at Foothill College two years ago.
When the teams meet Saturday night at Foothill, the matchup is once again one of the marquee games of the September schedule.
Mitty, coming off victories over Los Gatos and Leland, is No. 3 in the Mercury News rankings behind Bellarmine College Prep and Serra.
Palo Alto, which opened with a 28-7 win at home last week over San Benito, is ranked fourth.
As the Stanford-commit Chryst walked off the field after the Vikings' season-opening win, he said of facing Mitty, "We're already looking forward to that game. I have yet to beat them in the three years I've been here. I'm really excited. They're a solid team all-around. We just have to play our game."
Mitty managed to apply a ton of pressure on Chryst last season on its way to building a seemingly commanding two-touchdown lead midway through the fourth quarter. But Palo Alto rallied and pulled to within a point on a 65-yard strike down the middle from Chryst to Malcolm Davis. A bad snap on the PAT kept Mitty in the lead.
"He's probably the best quarterback that we've ever faced," Mitty coach Matt Haniger said this week. "This is going to be the third time that we've faced him, and he's only getting better."
In last season's game, Mitty successfully rushed Chryst from the edge, finishing with five sacks.
But as the 6-foot-4, 230-pound Chryst showed last week against San Benito, he does not go down easily.
"He scares us more when he gets out and scrambles," Haniger said. "He's a load."
Mitty, meanwhile, is off to a good start as it prepares for the rigorous West Catholic Athletic League schedule. Since trailing Los Gatos by two points at halftime in its opener, Mitty has outscored its opponents 51-14.
Haniger said his team's win over Leland, which included two early stops as Leland threatened to score, was "more of a complete game. Overall, it was a pretty good week for us."

January 26, 2007
Police substations in Richmond County, just how many are there and why are some closing their doors? It could have something to do with technology. News 12 is on your side with why deputies may be spending more time inside their cars rather than in substations throughout our area.
The signs may still be in place, but Richmond County hasn't operated a substation at Mount Zion for quite some time.
"I'm out here quite often and I very seldom see any cars over there and I really didn't know they was closed," said James Kelsey.
According to Major Richard Weaver, it closed because deputies didn't have enough privacy. This despite lots of calls here, including the murder of a female residents last year.
"Sometimes with the change of management, those kinds of things, we will sometimes not utilize them," Weaver said.
But while twenty-four substations are being utilized county-wide, deputies spend limited time inside of them. Some admit just ten to twenty minutes per shift.
"Some deputies just like to get out and stretch their legs. Um, maybe take a rest room break, that's probably the primary reason, taking a rest room break," one deputy said.
"Everything you really need is right there in the computer in the car," another deputy said.
Filing reports, looking up license information, even communicating with other deputies, it's time spent on the road rather than inside substations like this one at Kroger.
But Major Weaver insists there's no replacing the presence of a patrol car, a sight residents here say they miss seeing.
"All over, I'd like to see more deputies because when you do have their presence the crime rate does go down," Kelsey said.
"It's a deterrent. Just seeing that patrol car sitting there is a deterrent. It helps," Weaver said.
It looks as though the Mount Zion substation could be moving location. The city Parks and Recreation Department has offered to foot the bill for one to operate at its old McDuffie Road address inside a community center there. But those plans are not set in stone. Major Weaver does say however, he will consider it.

First Ice Cream Festival Features Contests, Vendors, Live Music
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 5:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 5:45 p.m.
"I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream."
WHAT: First Florida Ice Cream Festival, presented by Magnify Credit Union.
WHEN: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.
LOCATION: Joker Marchant Stadium, 2301 Lakeland Hills Blvd., Lakeland.
TICKETS: $3 general admission, free parking.
CONTACT: www.floridaicecreamfestival.org.
No one has metaphorically screamed more for ice cream in Florida than John Santarpia.
Santarpia, president and CEO of Magnify Credit Union, became interested in ice cream when his South Lakeland branch inherited a Bruster's ice cream shop in 2009. He went to the Austin Ice Cream Festival in Texas later that year and thought Lakeland and Florida should have an ice cream festival of its own.
The first Florida Ice Cream Festival, presented by Magnify, will be Saturday at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland. Santarpia said he is expecting 3,000 people to come throughout the day.
"We hope that it can go on every year. It's an event that families can look forward to that supports our community and our city, Polk County and Lakeland," Santarpia said.
Unlike the other festivals that featured a limited number of vendors, the Florida Ice Cream Festival will feature 24 vendors selling frozen dessert products, ranging from traditional ice cream and Popsicles to Italian ice and frozen custard. There will also be a wide array of non-ice-cream-related options. Patrons can pay for food items with Moo-Lah, which works similar to Pig Bucks at Pigfest.
What is sure to be a big draw to the festival is the competitive ice cream eating contests.
The main event will be the Magnify Credit Union World Ice Cream Eating Championship at 4:30 p.m. Several professionals from Major League Eating, including Joey Chestnut, the No. 1 competitive eater in the world, will appear. There is a $4,300 prize purse up for grabs, and former Lakeland Dreadnaught and Lakeland Raider Kendrick Stewart will be representing Lakeland.
Chestnut, 27, has won the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island, N.Y., five years running.
Sam Barclay, master of ceremonies for Major League Eating, said this is the first time ice cream has been featured on the Major League Eating schedule in three years.
"Obviously, with an ice cream event it's going to be fascinating to see if Joey and the other contestants who are going to be there are able to deal with the obvious threat of the ice cream being cold and are they willing to battle through mentally, like a marathon runner when they hit 'the wall' at mile 18," Barclay said.
Other competitive eating contests include the Celebrity/Amateur Ice Cream Eating Contest featuring 10 local celebrities ranging from city government to radio at 3:20 p.m. At 3 p.m., the Polk County Sheriff's Office, Lakeland Police, Fire and Fire and Rescue will have teams of three rotating in trying to eat 10 pints of ice cream in the First Responders Ice Cream Eating Contest.
All proceeds from the Florida Ice Cream Festival will go to the Magnify Life Foundation and The Detroit Tigers Foundation of Florida. Santarpia said he partnered with local schools to sell tickets, and all tickets sold at the schools goes directly toward the school.
"We felt that was good because it's a win-win. We want kids to come in, but we want the schools to benefit as well," he said.

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|< (i) Misstatement of circ...
|(iii) False attribution ... >
(ii) Misrepresentation of eyewitness testimony.
1. Irving's initial witness was taken from one of the first books on Dresden (minus the page number), describing the attack on the Tiergartenstrasse.13 Bergander approached the same witness who told him that he had been unconscious at the time and that those who related the details to him had been in a severe state of shock. He was hit by shrapnel, not by machine-gun fire. Most tellingly, as quoted by Seydewitz, the witness said that the attack to which he was victim, described by Irving as taking place during the following day, had taken place at night (i.e. the 13th). Irving transposed the story to substantiate his more believable allegation that the strafing of civilians took place during the day.14
2. Bergander added that in Und Deutschlands Städte starben nicht an eyewitness was cited by name who described how huge trees were torn out of the ground in the park [Große Garten] and thrown hundreds of metres into the eye of the fire storm. This passage was excised from Der Untergang Dresdens because the 'witness' complained that he had said no such thing to Irving and that the story had been put into his mouth.15 Nevertheless the story remained in 1966 and 1995, albeit minus a source.16 Here is another example of Irving's cavalier disregard for the truth.
13. Max Seydewitz, Zerstörung und Wiederaufbau von Dresden (East Berlin, 1955), pp. 105f. Seydewitz was Dresden's post-war mayor at the time of publication.
14. Corgi 1966, p. 278. The second witness is a prisoner of war, John Heard. In 1995 the one prisoner becomes, 'British prisoners ... were among those to suffer the discomfort of being strafed...', although John Heard remains Irving's only prisoner witness. The Seydewitz citation remains intact and a third witness is added, apparently an interview from 1961. See Focal Point edn., p. 200, fns. 4, 5, and 7.
15. Bergander, p. 221; Und Deutschlands Städte starben nicht, p. 370; letter from Dr. Recktenwald in the Sammlung Irving in the Bundesarchiv.
16. Corgi 1966, p. 175; Focal Point, p. 173.

I found myself in Sweden, and all of a sudden I had a distinctive brand: the baffled American. It wasn't what I planned, but the situation chose it for me, since most of the reliable chunks I take for granted in my act had to be eliminated.
For starters, out went my Jewish material -- because there are not many Jewish people in Sweden. (They're not familiar with the Wailing Wall, Hanukah -- and certainly not matzo.)
Then, many other jokes had to be tossed because of references that just didn't translate. They don't have the SAT like we do, so no jokes about that. Acronyms don't work because the initials stand for something in English that doesn't match what they would say in Swedish. References to hot topics like gay marriage (the Swedish support it), capital punishment (they don't have it), and health care (they already have it) all don't get the reaction they would in the States.
And lastly-- going in the other direction, the things I thought I knew about their culture were all wrong. They actually do eat other things than meatballs, they aren't depressed all the time, and they don't buy all their furniture at IKEA. And, after a lot of wasted time looking for a smorgasbord (the word sounds Swedish, doesn't it?) -- I was told they only have those at Christmas.
(Important travel note: Swedes do NOT understand you if you try talking like the chef from "The Muppet Show"... even if you do it well.)
But even with the cultural difficulties, the comedy scene in Sweden is anything but depressing. Clubs there are all filled with audiences ready to laugh. In Stockholm, you can go to plenty of open mics -- and they've never even heard of bringer shows. Overall, it's like standup used to be in America 25 years ago, where the comics are just developing a point a view, there are plenty of performance opportunities, and audiences are flooding the comedy clubs, hungry to see live comedy.
There are also some comedy festivals where you can be seen. One in each of the towns of Malmö, Lund and Stockholm.
There also seems to be a very positive environment for female comics. One woman who attended my workshop, Babben Larrson, is a 50 plus comedian who's had her own TV show and performs in clubs, does corporates, and has a one person show. Another, Cecilia von Strokirch, is a 30 year old librarian turned comic who performs all over Sweden. She even landed corporate sponsorship from a diet company, since she does a lot of material about weight loss. (There's LOTS of opportunity in Sweden.)
And lastly -- if you like the money you can make from corporate gigs, but miss the uncensored freedom of working clubs, in Sweden, you can have both!
At Stockholm's main comedy club, Norra Brunn, I performed along with co-headlining Al Pitcher. He's originally from New Zealand, but he knocked around England for 5 years, and, after finding that market flooded, came over to Sweden to work corporate gigs and comedy clubs. What he was pleasantly surprised to find out is that you can say whatever you want in Sweden - even in a corporate gig! There's no censorship. None.
I did a radio show and we used every curse word in the book - on the air! ("Really, you can say f*#% at a corporate gig?" "Absolutely!")
That's something I could get used to! But -- now I'm off to Russia. I might need to remember to watch what I say there --- or I could get in a lot of f*#%ing trouble. (Time to chew some Orbit gum!)

Sounds like it was a great experience. I'm guessing there wasn't really a language barrier problem?
Also, could some of the, say gay marriage material, have been re-framed as "look at what stupid Americans fight over"?
- Hi there. My name is Tara Igoe. said...
i love your blogs and honesty about your experiences - and the encouragement about female comics- thank you so f*&cking much :)
So you did it Judy, got me wondering if I need to go to Sweden.. I will try my luck in America. I haven't been doing comedy long but I feel like I can be a great Comedian. So hopefully you will see me in Sweden one day. Love your ensights.

Hi Judy,
Welcome to the World of International European Comedy.
It was fun to hear about your experiences, because many comics come over here to perform and don't understand it that people sometimes only laugh when the say f*&cking stuff. Because, universally the Europeans know that word.
Most of the cultural or colloquial referenced stuff takes a dive except if the audience has members that have lived in the UK, Canada or USA.
That makes doing the comedy over here so much fun. You have to become inventive and sometimes even use body language to make a set work.
So, if you come to Europe to perform, send your host a video of the stuff your planning to do and they might be able to give you tips on how to re-adjust your material or find equivalent phrases to make it work.
I know you'll do well in Russia, especially after Sweden and Berlin.
Had a great time gigging with Avi Liberman while he was here and if you see him, ask to see his videos of his Berlin daytime tour.
Thanks for a great post on this subject Judy. You are the best.
Cheers, Smiles, Laughs and Success,

Hi Judy,
loved everything you say. You said, that you found yourself somehow pushed back 25 years in time.
Imagine, how it is for me, who is trying to build the road to openly gay stand up acts here in Spain, where everybody fears and hence doens't accept that they belong to a certain social minority.
Sometimes, I have my difficulties making a broad audience laugh; many straight people don't have any gay references (besides of the old fashioned sissy impersonations cage aux folles style) and from gay people I get feedback like "why do you have to say yo are gay in public?!". And we have full gay rights since 2005. It's both, frustrating and challenging. But I won't give up.
Love reading you
- Ron Rigby said...
Damn Judy, I wish I would have known you were performing in Sweden. You could have done (maybe you did) some good Tiger Woods stuff. His wife that he cheated on 6000 times is a very well known Swede. How was the cheese and chocolate? And did you ask anyone what makes their watches so fucking special?? Be careful in Russia because you know they kidnap American women over there and force them to be sex slaves....Joan Rivers would ask the audience if anyone knew where she could go to put in an application for that type of work. Maybe make a little extra money while she's there. I'm having trouble imagining comedy clubs in Russia. I'm picturing you on stage completely engulfed in cigarette smoke from an audience full of scary looking men in leather jackets. Hopefully I'm way off base on that, but be careful anyway.

Faithful gather for National Day of Prayer
May 3, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Communities from around the valley gathered with others from around the nation to celebrate the National Day of Prayer Thursday....
President Obama declared May 2, 2013 a National Day of Prayer. The president says prayer brings communities together and can be a wellspring of strength and support, especially in the aftermath of senseless acts of violence, like the Boston bombing.

Japan: Real progress with volatility
Global Economic Outlook Q3 2013
Abenomics' effect on economic performance is temporary, as it is driven by movements in asset prices and a boost in business confidence. Long-term improvements will require real economic reforms.
In Japan, it now appears that Abenomics is bearing some fruit in terms of a boost to economic activity. On the other hand, Abenomics has also created a far more volatile financial environment. Yet the improvement in economic performance can only be considered temporary as it is driven by movements in asset prices and a boost to business and consumer confidence. Longer-term improvements in economic performance will require real economic reforms—something that remains somewhat uncertain until there is a change in the political landscape.
The real economy
The most positive economic news came from Markit's monthly purchasing managers' indices (PMIs), which can provide a forward-looking indication of economic conditions. In June, the PMI for the manufacturing sector reached 52.3, the highest level in nearly 2.5 years. A reading above 50.0 indicates increasing activity. A higher number means faster growth. The sub-index for new orders was up strongly to the highest level in three years. However, new orders for exports were up only modestly, likely due to the continuing recession in Europe. Japan's manufacturing PMI was also one of the highest among major economies. On the other hand, Markit reports that Japanese manufacturers face a profit squeeze because of rising import prices—itself the result of a declining yen.1 Markit's PMI for the services sector was 52.1 in June, down from a record high of 54.8 in May.2
There was other good news recently: The government reported that industrial production increased 2.0 percent from April to May, shipments of capital goods were up 1.7 percent (suggesting a rebound in business investment), the inventory-sales ratio declined, retail sales increased 1.5 percent from April to May, and consumer prices stabilized after declining for six months. One reason for the stabilization of prices is that, with a declining yen, prices of imported energy rose.
Business sentiment is improving as well. Japan's Tankan survey of business sentiment increased strongly in June, with the manufacturing survey rising to its highest level in more than two years. Evidently, despite increased financial volatility in the past month, Japanese business executives are confident that the new economic policy will bear fruit. The fact that the yen remains well below the peaks it reached last year has already had a positive impact on export competitiveness.
Finally, although consumer spending growth has decelerated from its rapid pace in the first quarter, spending on big-ticket items such as home-related products and automobiles continues to be strong. Consumer confidence is up considerably, and job market conditions have improved. And although nominal wages continue to fall, worker bonuses are up considerably, thereby contributing to increased demand for large expenditures.
Overall, it appears that Abenomics is bearing some fruit. A lower yen boosted competitiveness, an aggressive monetary policy boosted expectations of inflation, and a radical shift in policy boosted confidence. Yet for longer-term success, more reform legislation will need to be passed. Recent polls show that Prime Minister Abe remains quite popular. Shinzo Abe successfully consolidated his power in elections for control of parliament's upper house, setting the stage for Japan's first politically-stable government since the popular former prime minister Junichiro Koizumi left office in 2006. This means that the government can forge ahead on a range of issues and can more easily pass reform legislation.
One potential area of trouble for the government is the national sales tax. Based on legislation passed during the previous government, the national sales tax is set to increase next year. The tax will rise from 5 percent to 8 percent during the second quarter of 2014. This could have a severe negative impact on economic growth. It is meant to improve the country's long-term fiscal position, setting the stage to pay for the rising cost of pensions and healthcare. Indeed, the tax is set to rise again to 10 percent in 2015. A senior government official now says that the government may consider boosting spending next year in order to offset the negative economic consequences of the tax hike.
Overall, it appears that Abenomics is bearing some fruit. A lower yen boosted competitiveness, an aggressive monetary policy boosted expectations of inflation, and a radical shift in policy boosted confidence.
A volatile June
Abenomics has a considerable impact on financial markets. Initially, the yield on Japanese government bonds dropped sharply as the government engaged in substantial purchases of bonds. The drop in supply meant that the price of the bonds increased (the yield declined). Recently, however, the yield bounced back when markets became concerned about actions by the Federal Reserve. Specifically, the Fed hinted that it will soon decelerate the pace of asset purchases. Consequently, US bond yields increased quickly, leading global investors to shift toward US bonds and away from non-US assets. In addition, investors started to anticipate higher inflation in Japan as a result of the Bank of Japan's policy of asset purchases. This meant that investors required a higher return on bonds to offset expected inflation. Still, the increase in bond yields was not sufficient to offset the rise in expected inflation. As such, the real bond yield (nominal rate minus expected inflation) may have actually declined.
In addition, Abenomics initially led to a sharp increase in equity prices and a sharp drop in the value of the yen. Both had positive effects on economic activity and business confidence. Yet both were reversed in June during a period of volatility. Still, despite turmoil, equities remain well above the level prior to the election of Shinzo Abe, and the yen remains far lower.
One effect of the rise in Japanese bond yields has been a boost in mortgage interest rates. Interestingly, this rise in rates has coincided with a substantial increase in home buying as consumers decide to take advantage of relatively low mortgage rates before they get even higher. The rate on a fixed rate 35-year mortgage has increased from 1.8 percent in April to 2.0 percent in May. This is still very low. By comparison, the rate on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage in the United States is now 3.98 percent. The result of the increased demand for homes has been a rise in housing starts (up at the fastest pace since 1996), a rise in home prices, and a rise in land prices. Home buyers are particularly interested in fixed rate mortgages in order to lock in low rates. If rates rise much more, however, there could be a drop-off in home buying.
Financial market volatility in Japan has led to questions about whether the Bank of Japan will adjust policy or simply stay the course. After initially saying that nothing will change, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said that the bank could add to the volume of asset purchases if economic conditions warrant. This is the first time he acknowledged that the policy is flexible.3 He had previously suggested that the policy was fixed and would not change based on changing economic circumstances. Specifically, Kuroda said that he doesn't plan to change policy in the next two years, but he's amenable to making changes if the country's economic or financial situation deteriorates or if it becomes apparent that the policy is insufficient.
What next?
There are two important unknowns regarding Japan's economy. First, we don't know what specific reforms will be enacted as part of the third "arrow†of Abenomics (the first two being fiscal stimulus and aggressive monetary policy). Clarity about the reform agenda will help determine whether the progress so far is ephemeral or sustainable. Second, we don't know what impact a radically new monetary policy will have on asset prices. Already, bond yields, equities, and the currency have been on a roller-coaster. But the general direction of these asset prices has been positive.

Rejoice! Retail Therapy Really Is Therapeutic
Study reveals that shopping can truly help raise your spirits
Or, in science-speak; "We theorize that the choices inherent in shopping may restore personal control over one's environment and reduce residual sadness," as the report, published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology, says.
TREND REPORT: 9 Ways to Wear Feathers
So, the mere act of choosing to purchase, say, Benefit They're Real Mascara over Lancôme's Definicils is good for us?
Yes. Within reason. It won't work to mollify all types of distress, but when it comes to cheering you up and to alleviating sadness, "retail therapy" is a good tack to take.
As the study shows, "Shopping is all about choice (where to shop, whether to buy, what to buy), and previous research suggests that exercising choice can enhance one's sense of control. It stands to reason, then, that shopping may help to alleviate sadness."
How did the researchers in Ann Arbor prove this? By conducting three rather wily experiments (read about them here).
The results? "Retail therapy is not as destructive as previously claimed. We found that shopping restored a sense personal control over one's environment, and thus helped to alleviate sadness."
Now, while this may seem like carte blanche to hit the stores on your lunch break, and on the way home, and this weekend and ... it's important to bear in mind one (bummer of a) thing; "Repeatedly engaging in retail therapy may increase one's debt, jeopardizing the very sense of personal control that shopping was meant to restore."

8. Knowing one's self
Fifteen minutes into the film, I leaned over and asked my parents if they minded me going off to Timezone or Powerbooks, as I'd probably enjoy myself better there.
Got up and left.
After I met up with my family again, my father told me I'd made a good choice. I told him I'd learned how to cut my losses and run. ;)
I guess that means I'm getting to know myself pretty well. I know what movies I like and don't like. I'm not afraid to miss out on a surprisingly cool movie by walking out on it. I figured that if it was _really_ good, then they wouldn't mind seeing it again.
Glad I followed my instincts.
Note to self: It would be really cool if I could rig up a weekly script to scrape the movie titles from http://www.sureseats.com and look up reviews in the Internet Movie Database. This script could run every Wednesday - that's when they change movies. If I brought my computer along, then I could just flip it open, check the plot summary and the ratings... Hmmm. Ideas, ideas.
7. On technology and lifestyle
Perhaps he and I are more similar than we thought. I know I am cross and irritable when my computer malfunctions, particularly when I need it most, and profoundly grateful to those who help me restore it to a working state. Yesterday it was my turn to rescue a computer, and at no time have I been more grateful for the opportunity to be of help. I saw my father's face light up when the Vaio slept and woke at his touch. I heard him laugh appreciatively as the Vaio chimed to indicate an increase or decrease in volume. I felt the life flowing back into him, the accustomed excitement returning to his voice. He lived, loved, _was_ - and I was no longer afraid.
About passions
It is important to me to find a friend with similar dreams. I need someone I can compete and cooperate with, someone who will help spur me to heights of greatness. Hacking on Emacs is so much more fun when I can tell stories about it - another reason why open source community is so important to me. Trying to improve my teaching is easier when there's someone who'll be ecstatic when I have great class days and sympathetic when I wonder if we really make a difference.
I want international prominence, and by that I mean I want to contribute to major projects and get to meet people who are really, really into working with technology. I want to help people mix. I want to promote technology. I want to promote _social_ technology, technology that helps makes people's lives better.
I thought about crossing fields and helping Eric out, but my heart's not really into graphics. I am, however, into funky devices, so am exploring gesture-based Linux. wayv looks potentially useful, although still a little raw. Last active development was 2001. Might go into alternative input and output devices; close enough to my wearables interest.
A little note about gadgets
I am not into gadgets for gadgets' sake, and personally I find it hard to understand why people are into the latest phones "just because". I don't see technology as a way of separating myself from other people. In fact, I prefer to see it as a way of connecting me to others. I guess that's why I prefer my unassuming headphones+audio getup to that visually impressive but technologically aloof head-mounted display that people like focusing on so much. With a HMD, other people focus on technology. When technology disappears into the background, they can focus on me - and I like that. ;) That's why I take notes with my computer under the table. My focus is on the other person, not on the computer.
6. Timestamps all screwy
Oh, it does that on suspend.
5. committing
4. Emacs hacks
(defun sacha/reverse-line () (interactive) (let ((string (buffer-substring (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)))) (delete-region (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)) (insert (apply 'string (reverse (string-to-list string))))))

John and Kira first sourced their honey from Trickett Honey & Beekeeping, a West Philadelphia company. Trickett keeps a few colonies of bees in the city at community gardens to provide pollination services while most of his hives are located in the Valley Forge area. Since Trickett Honey is such a small company, it is difficult for them to supply all the honey that we need for our chocolates. When we need more honey than they can supply, we call Draper Apiaries. The Draper family started their aviary in 1974 with one hive. Today, Bernie's son, Bill, and grandson Royal have increased bee-hive colony numbers to around 1,000-producing annually from 60,000 to 110,000 pounds of honey. Their claim to fame is that they are the suppliers of honey to the White House. The Draper Family is active in their local community. They sponser a drug awareness program and also help to promote tourism in rural Tioga County, PA.
