Banks Put Highest Odds on September Fed Taper
Just ahead of the Federal Reserve's late-July policy meeting, Wall Street's biggest banks held expectations for a pullback in central bank bond buying that was roughly aligned with the views of policymakers.
According to a survey released Thursday by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, these megabanks put the greatest odds on the Fed beginning to trim its asset-buying program in September. They also saw a decent chance of it happening in December if policymakers skipped the September meeting, the survey said.
The findings were based on a poll of the 21 primary dealers done ahead of the monetary-policy-setting meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee that occurred July 30 and 31. Primary dealers are banks that do business directly with the Fed. These firms are a critical part of the nation's financial infrastructure and serve as counterparties to the bond buying the Fed uses to pursue its monetary policy goals.
The survey said that dealers had been putting slightly less-than-even odds the Fed would slow what is now an $85 billion-a-month program of bond buying at its September policy meeting. The dealers also said in July that there was around a 25% chance this bond-buying slowdown could first happen in December. Dealers continue to expect the first Fed rate increase is likely to occur some time in 2015.
Dealer expectation for the size of the pullback in stimulus is fairly modest, with most dealers seeing the Fed cutting the monthly pace of buying by around $15 billion.
According to the meeting minutes from the FOMC meeting, central bankers and financial market participants were pretty much on the same page. Officials believed then that "market expectations of the future course of monetary policy, both with regard to asset purchases and with regard to the path of the federal funds rate, appeared well aligned with their own expectations."
The New York Fed has been releasing its surveys for some time now, providing an important insight into how markets are looking at the outlook for central-bank policy.
These surveys have grown in importance as the Fed moves toward a time where it likely will pare its bond-buying stimulus efforts. Markets, as well as central bankers themselves, are unsure how this process will play out.
For some time now central bankers have been preparing markets for a time when stimulus could be reduced, and those views have caused considerable market turbulence and disruption. Fed comments have caused stock prices to fall and borrowing costs to rise, and those developments have the potential to create fresh headwinds for a recovery the pace of which is already on the modest side.
Central bankers are aware that they are having a difficult time communicating exactly what a slowdown in stimulus means for the market–they see it as less stimulus, but many in markets view the potential shift as a tightening in monetary policy. The New York Fed survey allows policymakers to see how in synch markets are with their own expectations.
According to the survey, dealers gave decidedly mixed grades to the Fed's efforts to communicate the likely path of monetary policy. Some of the dealers said communications had gotten "clearer" ahead of the July meeting and pointed to central bank chair Ben Bernanke as having done a lot to clear things up.
But others were less pleased, and a lot of it had to do with the number of central-bank voices weighing in on the matter. "Several dealers described the multiple viewpoints expressed by FOMC participants as contributing to a lack of clarity." Some of the dealers told the New York Fed that "clearly communicating the nuances of the current policy stance is difficult and that market participants find it challenging to consistently follow the Committee's message."
The survey noted "several dealers noted that recent FOMC communications have influenced their expected path of asset purchases," while adding "several others highlighted that economic data will continue to determine the timing of reductions in purchase pace."

VIENNA-The faces may be different, but the task that lies ahead for redshirt junior Matt Lindamood remains the same as West Virginia University's football team opens spring drills on Wednesday.
"It kind of reminds me of my first day of camp when I was a freshman," explained Lindamood, who was in town attending the Boys and Girls Club Steak and Burger Dinner back in January. "You really don't know what to expect until you get to that first drill."
Gone are leading rusher Noel Devine and leading receiver Jock Sanders as well as seven of the 11 starters on a Mountaineer defense that was ranked among the best in the country in 2010.

West Virginia redshirt junior Matt Lindamood saw action in all 13 games last season. Lindamood scored a touchdown in a win over UNLV.
Those, however, aren't the only names WVU fans have become accustomed to hearing when the pads come out in the spring. Also missing when the old gold and blue takes to the practice field at 9:25 a.m. will be former assistant coaches Jeff Mullen, Chris Beatty, Lonnie Galloway, Dave Johnson and Dave McMichael.
"You really can't let it (the coaching changes) affect you as a player," said Lindamood. "It's still my job to go out there and prove to whoever that I can get the job done and deserve a chance to play."
Something the former Big Red all-state performer accomplished during the past two seasons in Morgantown.
Redshirted as a freshman, Lindamood played in 12 games during the 2009 campaign, seeing action on more than 75 plays on special teams. His season-high of 16 plays came against Auburn and he got in on 14 plays against East Carolina.
Lindamood finished with five tackles for the year, including four solo stops.
That was just the beginning for the six-foot, 236-pounder as last season saw the Parkersburg native play in all 13 contests, earning one start. He was used on 125 plays on offense, including a season-high 18 in WVU's 24-21 overtime win at Marshall.
He finished the season with 15 carries for 49 yards, an average of 3.3 yards per carry, and scored a touchdown in the Mountaineers' win over UNLV.
But, like so many players returning on the offense, all of that means little as a new staff has spent the past three months evaluating those players returning to see how they will fit in WVU's new offensive scheme.
A scheme developed by new-offensive coordinator/head coach in waiting Dana Holgorsen.
"I've always been the kind of player who goes out on every play and gives it everything I have," said Lindamood. "So, it (a new offensive staff) doesn't really bother me. If I do the things I need to do, then my playing time will take care of itself."
Lindamood heads into his fourth spring as the No. 2 fullback behind redshirt junior Ryan Clarke on the three-deep depth chart and as a vital member of the Mountaineers' special teams-holding down starting slots on all four units.
WVU concludes spring drills with the annual Gold/Blue Game at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 29.

NFL Preview: NFC East, AFC East
As the Bard once wrote, this is the season of our deep content. School may be back in session but so is football, providing us with a weekly reason to wake up on Sundays and lay dormant in front of an oversized television for hours, eyes lightly over glazed in full appreciation of defense splitting runs, virtuosic catches, and Joe Buck's milquetoast delivery. The specifics may have changed, but the tradition remains the same. We'll be rolling out a preview over the next few days, checking in every team and division for reasons why you should or shouldn't pay attention to them—beginning with the NFC and AFC East.
NFC East
Washington Redskins
2012-13: 10-6, 1st in NFC East, lost to Seattle Seahawks in NFC Wild Card Round
Last NFL championship: 1991
Perhaps it's not the best look when the second biggest story of your team's offseason regards the ownership's pointed stubbornness over changing a name that a non-negligible slice of NFL fans see as an outright racist reminder of our country's shameful past. Worse yet when football media—a subgroup not quite composed of wilting lilies—proclaims it won't use the name, making sure this debate won't immediately die.
But because this is football, the biggest story doubly functions as an amnesiac salve, erasing all possible beefs with this franchise because Robert Griffin III is back, approved by Dr. James Andrews and ready to continue his trailblazing rookie season from the beginning of the year. RG3's risk-taking style and push-pull relationship with Mike Shanahan should lead to plenty of drama during the year over whether he should be allowed onto the field after accumulating so many scrapes and dings. "Griffin makes a statement; Shanahan says not-so-fast," says the Associated Press's Joseph White. "It comes off as a power play between hard-nosed coach and telegenic franchise player, with the coach ultimately reminding everyone who's in charge." Washington's depth at quarterback—featuring able understudy Kirk Cousins and (tongue planted firmly in cheek) former Super Bowl starter Rex Grossman—means Shanahan should be able to risk keeping his gung-ho prodigy on the bench every once in awhile. The emergence of sixth round running back Alfred Morris will help balance the load, too. If RG3 is healthy, the Redskins should challenge a repeat of their surprising 2012-13 division title. If not, what's a football season without wanton passive-aggressiveness?
New York Giants
2012-13: 9-7, 2nd in NFC East, didn't make playoffs
Last NFL Championship: 2012
Good news for the Giants: If nothing else, they're still more popular than the Jets. Plus, their coach has downgraded a notch on the intensity scale from "Constant Hater" to "Conditional Hater," which should make practice a lot less tense. The Giants have been competitive for most of Tom Coughlin's tenure, which means it's difficult to project a dip in performance despite some injury-related instability (Jason Pierre-Paul will start the year on the bench) and some free agent migration (most notably Osi Umeniyora, who joined the Atlanta Falcons). Perhaps their recent success—remember, two Super Bowls in the last six seasons—inspired this glass half-full take from the NY Daily News's Mike Lupica, who waxes appreciative about quarterback Eli Manning. "He is not the best quarterback in the league. But he is the best any New York football team has ever had, better than Namath or Simms or Tittle or Chuckin' Charlie Conerly." With offensive stability like that, the Giants can certainly challenge in an NFC East that lacks a clear frontrunner.
Dallas Cowboys
2012-13: 8-8, 3rd in NFC East, didn't make playoffs
Last NFL Championship: 1995
Because Jerry Jones cannot shush and give his team some space to perform on their own terms, the Cowboys will be mocked for anything less than a championship finish. Repeat 8-8 seasons don't do much to lighten the load of jeers, nor does giving Tony Romo more guaranteed money than Joe Flacco. Their preseason hasn't been wholly inspiring, and the entrenching of inconsistent parts like Romo and up-and-down running back Demeco Murry makes it hard to expect a dramatic change in performance. And yet the Cowboys are good enough to hang around, which should make this year as gut-wrenching as ever for hopeful fans. "The Cowboys are definitely not as hopeless as teams like the Bills or Raiders, or the Jets or Browns," writes Grantland's Andrew Sharp. "At least sane fans of those teams can make peace with the idea that nothing truly great will ever happen, and just take solace in the small, moral victories that pop up every now and then. This is how I stay happy as a Wizards fan."
Philadelphia Eagles
2012-13: 4-13, 4th in NFC East, didn't make playoffs
Last NFL Championship: 1960 (pre-Super Bowl)
Of course it's a wonderful thing that Chip Kelly is already rubbing the NFL the wrong way by looking to implement his no-routes-barred, no-pauses allowed Oregon Ducks offense as best he can. Progress cannot be contained, and football's the one sport that's most benefitted from gradual evolution in how the sport is played. But there's a difference between coaching rah-rah young bodies trying to prove themselves and paunchy, plump adults who've got millions of reasons not to run another wind sprint. "Kelly's real test this season isn't about choosing among the dangling threads of the roster," writes the Philadelphia Inquirer's Bob Ford. "It is about keeping that roster together on the offensive side of the ball despite playing a brutally demanding brand of football." While conditioning will be key, even more depends on the ability of Michael Vick to justify Kelly's faith in him despite the blank check any new coach is given to start over. "Kelly will be different from other coaches in many ways, but like all coaches, he is pragmatic and wants to give his team the best chance to win now," writes Monday Morning Quarterback's Andrew Brandt. "For that, Vick was the logical and obvious choice." There's a wide spectrum of possibility regarding that pragmatism, but it'll clearly be exciting to watch how Kelly fits into the grand, mostly unsuccessful tradition of college coaches looking to shake up the game.
AFC East
New England Patriots
2012-13: 12-4, 1st in AFC East, lost to Baltimore Ravens in AFC Championship
Last NFL championship: 2004
Rob Gronkowski's arm health is rated a solid "iffy," Wes Welker is catching passes from Tom Brady's thick-necked Denver counterpart, and the Aaron Hernandez situation only gets more jaw-dropping with every new report. If you were a contrarian betting man, you'd pick this to be the year where the Patriots finally foot-fault their grip at the top of the AFC East… right before the smelling salts took hold and you remembered where you were. This is still a team that's taken nine of the last ten division titles, with the stalwart Brady in place to guide the reshaped offense—a marked difference from the Tannehills, Smiths and Tuels his opponents have to put up with. "Here's something that might make Brady feel old: When he took over as the Patriots' starter in early 2001, the potential opposing starting QBs in the AFC East were barely out of Pop Warner: Tannehill was 13, while [Geno] Smith and [Jeff] Tuel were both 10," Dennis Waszack Jr. writes for the Associated Press. This Fixer was ready to cheer the uncontainable #intangibles of Tim Tebow providing moral support from the bench until his untimely release, as poor an omen of the former Heisman's future in the NFL as anything. Still, the cult of Belichick is all the ethos anyone needs.
Buffalo Bills
2012-13: 7-9, 2nd in AFC East, didn't make playoffs
Last NFL championship: 1965 (AFL)
It was during this Fixer's inaugural run of posts that the Buffalo Bills were briefly looking like threats to finally re-enter the conversation after years in the muck, with Ryan Fitzpatrick making good on his "I went to Harvard" credentials and Fred Jackson looking legitimately unstoppable. That potential flashed but briefly, culminating with Fitzpatrick's departure and the surprise drafting of Florida State quarterback E.J. Manuel to anchor the position… only Manuel was injured during the preseason, as was backup Kevin Kolb with a potential career-threatening concussion, leaving the Bills tissue thin at the league's most important position. A humbled Matt Leinart was signed in a flash and quickly cut after a leaden preseason performance, which means the frontrunner to start the season, given Manuel's unclear status, is the severely untested Jeff Tuel. (He'd be the first undrafted rookie to play a season opener at quarterback since 1967.) You will be shocked to know this doesn't inspire much confidence in the Buffalo News's Bucky Gleason, who writes, "Five victories this year seem like a stretch, but you never know. Maybe they can play well enough in other areas and surprise a few people." Random injuries are nobody's fault, but it certainly won't be fun to watch the fallout.
Miami Dolphins
2012-13: 6-10, 3rd in AFC East, didn't make playoffs
Last NFL championship: 1973
The word on these Dolphins is their defense: it might be the best in the division, and has looked effective thus far in the preseason. But the 'Fins had a good defense last year and wrung just six wins from their schedule; the real test will be the maturation of the offense, hopefully aided by Ryan Tannehill's natural development and the addition of speedy wideout Mike Wallace from the Pittsburgh Steelers. (Caveat: Wallace is coming off the least productive year of his career, and the Steelers seemed nonplussed about letting him go in free agency.) The Miami Herald's Greg Cote takes a bullish approach, invoking the memory of the undefeated 1972 team in discussing how the team can no longer wait for the Patriots to fade from contention. The Palm Beach Post's Dave George is less hell and brimstone, but he's steadfast that wild card contention should be well within reach if the defense hold steady and the offense continues to jel. But if Tannehill can't bring some much needed stability, all those insistent expectations will be for naught.
New York Jets
2012-13: 6-10, 3rd in AFC East, didn't make playoffs
Last NFL championship: 1968
Understand that the coronation of Geno Smith as starting quarterback doesn't count for as much as it should, because it comes at the expense of Mark Sanchez's health and a lackluster preseason which he finished with a 1:3 touchdown-to-interception ratio. (Coming over just two games, yes, but not very inspiring.) But the change in status quo is notable for advantaging everyone but Sanchez, who's been impervious to change over the last few seasons despite an avalanche of evidence that doesn't need recounting (two words: butt fumble). These Jets will be uncommonly young, which isn't the reflection of talent fans might be hoping for. As Deadspin's Drew Magary snarks, "This is a team that had Tim Tebow listed as one of their QBs last season, and yet somehow they are now worse off." Ryan's defenses have rarely lacked, but the departure of top cornerback Darrelle Revis should sting. The hope is that Smith can lift the offense away from league worst; failing that, the Jets will be a tough bet for anything but the cellar. Then again, he can't do any worse than butt fumble.

Thomassin Cello Sonata
You recently uploaded a cello sonata by Désiré Thomassin. Do you have any biographical information on her(him?)? I have found many references to a painter of that name, and since the birth and death dates are the same, I assume they are the same person, but I can find no musical references. Yet the sonata is Op. 76, indicating an pretty extensive publishing history. My curiosity is piqued :)
- Yes I believe He/She was an Austrian Painter and Composer. It must be the same person...?Generoso 20:21, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- Was prowling through two volumes (four, actually - two for 1920, two for 1933, since I was looking for information to do with Ewald Straesser&rsquo's 4th quartet of 1920, and the composer himself who died in 1933...) - of the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik yesterday and one of them contained a passing reference to a performance "Thomassin (A-moll)" - meaning, A minor symphony by Thomassin was performed in the concert in question - cannot remember context right now but will look again sometime soon I am sure. (Composer I would not mind looking into, seems to have written ambitiously and intriguingly. Apologies for rambles... no sign at Worldcat of an a-minor symphony- oh- wait. note this - maybe 1920 after all... but the symphony itself may have disappeared. I was talking with another volunteer staff at library (well, expounding to :( - though she is the student of library sciences, not I ;)) how convinced I am getting about the need for preservation, digital and otherwise, more and more :( Steibelt last concerto? iirc lost. Moscheles last concerto? iirc orchestral parts -1 copy left- not lost but in fragile situ. Alkan full-orch symphony? apparently lost. ... if I had had a scanner... Eric 13:52, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Joseph Salmon (1864-1943) - Cello editions
Hi, This is a tough call, but I don't think they actually qualify as arrangements - since the original was apparently intended for cello and continuo, which would normally include a keyboard instrument. If you have evidence indicating otherwise (like the sonata originally being for violin or another instrument, that changes things obviously. It appears that Salmon was basically realizing the continuo and perhaps slightly altering the solo line to be playable on a modern instrument, which still qualifies as an edition (though not an urtext one).

- Thanks, I think you are right. Thanks for your very quick edits. You get to them as fast as I can upload them. Great Job. Generoso 21:34, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Bach Musette
The Bach Musette is actually an arrangement of Gavottes 1 and 2 from Suite 6 in D minor from English Suites, BWV 806-811 (Bach, Johann Sebastian)- perhaps it might be moved into the arrangements and transcriptions section there rather than having its own page?

List of compositions by Wilhelm Fitzenhagen
I'm confused by the Karl Davydov section of this page - are these (in section 3) arrangements by Davydov of works by other people? I don't know what they're doing in the list of Fitzenhagen's compositions though, unless Fitzenhagen was a pseudonym for Davydov... like I said, I'm confused? Eric 00:57, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
- It looks like the Fitzenhagen page was based on a similar one for Davydov (no relation), and that one of the headings was accidentally carried over. The editing of the Rococo Variations mentioned in this section was definitely Fitzenhagen's work — P.davydov 05:40, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
in Dis
re Reicha addition to the worklist - if "D-sharp major" is a translation of 'in Dis', I believe (and has not been verified from score) - from things I've read, anyway - that in the late-Classical/early-Romantic period (even as late as 1824 when Beethoven considered writing 'in Dis' on the cover page of his Missa Solemnis) that this was not a notification of the key of E♭ major generally speaking (with exceptions I'm sure), but rather a notification to woodwind that the work was in D major (and likely to go even further sharp!), or E if the winds were transposing wind in B♭, and care should be taken in advance. (Possibly, for example, care to choose the instrument in A instead where possible - for clarinets e.g. ;) ) I think so anyway! Eric 22:55, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks... We shall know for sure we someone finds the score.Generoso 23:02, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- At least in the early classical period, horns transposed in E♭ were marked as corno in Dis - and pieces marked in Dis are in E♭ major. I have dozens of old wind parthias in copies of manuscripts around 1800 and this was the general practice, not a rare exception. It had nothing whatsever to do with D major!--Kalliwoda 22:20, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for all this information. I am learning a lot! Generoso 22:33, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
I do have at least one piece "in Dx"- which I think is D-sharp??... - by Pichl- that is definitely in D major, though (the Synfonia pastorale from DKB). But thank you, also learning a lot. Eric 03:59, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Giuseppe Mascia quintet
Now working on preparing a score (and perhaps, not hard once score is ready, typeset parts too) from the parts of Mascia's quintet op.99 in B♭ major, if I can (I'm out of practice with Lilypond, but it's not proving too difficult so far.) I like it. The date at the end of the parts (18.3.19 - perhaps March 18 1819???) suggests he was perhaps 10-11 years old when he finished the work, if I understand aright- interesting (and young for an op99, though not unprecedented that). Of course the date could mean something else, any of a number of things (indeed, there are several possibilities that come to mind with so little known -by me anyway - about the composer...) Neat piece, not fantastic but interesting in its use of mediant and submediant modulations so far, I'm liking it without doubt:) Where is the source of the parts if I may ask- library, booksale, ???- page doesn't say. Referring to String Quintet, Op.99 (Mascia, Giuseppe). Eric 03:57, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
- You are right, I did not put the source. It is InternetCulturale Italy. Thanks. Generoso
Thank you- and looking over what I wrote I don't mean to deprecate it, it seems so far to be an interesting and enjoyable piece. Eric 13:21, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Making progress on notated/Lilypond score for op.99, and thanks for uploading the other quintets. 272 bar (incl first ending/2nd ending) first movement of op.99 more or less collated, going to tackle the rest of that quintet... Eric 05:27, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
- Wonderful! I look forward to seeing your work on these unknown quintetes! Generoso 07:36, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
String Quintet, Op.54 (Mascia, Giuseppe)
Hi Generoso. Just to let you know that the fifth part file you added was really the same as the fourth (i.e., Cello 1 again instead of Cello 2) and has therefore been removed. Did in fact InternetCulturale scan the Cello 2 part? Thanks, KGill talk email 22:50, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching that! I uploaded the right one now.Generoso
Giuliani - Gran Quintet, Op.65
Hi Generoso. Just to let you know that the file you uploaded had to be deleted, because it was a 1962 Simrock edition edited by Willy Domandl, who appeared to make original contributions (fingerings and so forth). Sorry, KGill talk email 18:34, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
- I wasn't sure about that one. Thanks for finding out the edition. Generoso 06:56, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Spanish Dances, Op.21 (Sarasate, Pablo de)
It seems like page seven in the violin part is missing, Sarasate´s Spanish Dance no. 2, Habanera?
- You are right it is missing. Thanks for pointing that out. My score is also missing page 7. If I find it I shall upload it. Thanks. Generoso 20:40, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Analytical studies for Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, Op.19 (Ševčík, Otakar)
Thank you for your kind words! I'm scanning the studies for Mendelssohn now, and in the meantime learning to make better scans. I wondered, how do you use these Sevcik works for cello? Do you apply the principles to cello repertoire, or do you somehow transcribe the violin works for cello? Bart Bartmeijer 14:52, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
12 Violin Sonatas, Op.5 (Corelli, Arcangelo)
Hi Generoso. Just to let you know that the files you uploaded here had to be deleted, because Saleski (d.1966) is under copyright in Canada. Although we do have a US server, it is not currently open for general uploading (being restricted to use by a few people). Sorry, KGill talk email 20:52, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
The edition of Joseph Malkin (1879-1969) is not PD in Canada. Have to delete, sorry. 22:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
I can't even figure out how to use that site for anything more than viewing anymore - which I figured is what they may well want, mind. Eric 00:18, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Still need to check that file which wasn't readable when you sent me it- will do. One of the manuscripts at SLUB is the manuscript version, apparently, in their Schumann-album (perhaps it was a gift of Merk to one or both of them?), of a B minor etude by Joseph Merk, possibly from opus 11. Neat things turn up in these places! Eric 00:06, 28 March 2011 (UTC) (I say possibly from because I haven't really looked through the edition of opus 11 onsite yet but will compare later too - not tracking well alas. Sorry!)
Forino - Prayers for 4 cellos
Dear Generoso, as a - let's say almost - professional cellist, let me first thank you for your devotion in uploading so many scores for cello worth of (re)discovery; I have been following your uploading schedule since quite a long lime, and more recently I have been struck by the beauty of Luigi Forino's third "Preghiera" for cellos (as I generally fall in love with anything that has a somewhat Debussy-sounding dominant ninth or even just a Tristan-chord in it). The question I pose to you, is: do you happen to have the remaining three "Preghiere"? I'd be so interested in getting to know them, and play them as soon as possible with my cello colleagues in Switzerland. Also, I'll soon come into possessions of a copy of Amilcare Zanella's Cello sonata, published in 1918 by Bongiovanni in Italy: it's an incredible piece, definitely worth rediscovery in my opinion; you can listen to a professional recording of the first movement on youtube, and as soon as I'll have the music in my hands I'll ask you if it is possible to let you have this music, and how. Thanks for your work and your attention. Best regards, Jacopo Gianesini (Turin - Italy)
- Thank you for your kind words. If I find something, I shall put it on ISMLP (of course here everything must be in the public domain). Generoso 10:38, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Zanella's string quartet in A and piano works already here seem worth adding to, certainly! (op.72 written 1916 I gather from library records?) Eric 13:53, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Dear Eric, I just discovered that all of Zanella manuscripts are in the library of "Conservatorio G. Rossini" in Pesaro, Italy; as soon as I'll be able to go there, I'll have a look and make a copy of some of them (especially this "Fantasia Orientale" for 6 cellos that tickles my imagination since I first heard of it some weeks ago). Thay also have copies of all his published music, and the sonata for cello as well, in both the 1916 and 1918 editions! Jacopo
- These pieces would be welcome additions to IMSLP. What a wonderful way to learn about lost/forgotten/hidden/unknown works!! I look forward to these. Generoso 07:27, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Internet Culturale
thank you very much for discovering this site (apparently so). Should have figured that Italians were writing a lot more chamber music in the 1830s e.g. than I'd been told- that never seemed right, the "usual story". (seems a gold mine truly if carefully used, and fun. A chamber arrangement of Spohr sym 8 I find there, too- finally able to fill that gap, sort of, in that composer's category, as there was no page at all for that symphony. ... I should look up Zanella there, in rel. the previous thread ;) ) Eric 13:37, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Generoso. Just to let you know he's been moved to Naḥman in accordance with IMSLP's naming guidelines. Cheers, KGill talk email 12:53, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching that! Generoso 13:57, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Zanella, Oriental Fantasy for six 'cellos
Dear Generoso, this morning I came into possession of the scan of Zanella's "Fantasia Orientale" for six cellos. It's an unpublished work, existing only in manuscript form. As I know NOTHING about copyright laws and stuff, I'm asking you, as I'd be interested in sahring this piece with as many people as possible...what should I do? Could you please help me? Thanks in advance, Jacopo
Saint-Saëns: Le cygne
Hello Generoso,
You don't happen to know if the parts found below the Vidal orchestration you just uploaded are actually for that orchestration, do you? I just noticed that there was a harp (as in Vidal) but no horns. It's possible that these parts match the Vidal but simply are missing the horns. I can check later myself of course but wondered if you might know off the top of your head. Regards, Carolus 20:33, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- It seems they are the same. The score and the handwritten parts match. The Horns enter at Figure 1. and they play 8 measures only. The string parts appear to be the same both the score and the parts. Generoso 22:03, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Badische LB Karlsruhe
Hallo Generoso, just noticed that you cleaned the orphaned Vc-part from Coburg for the op.91 Gesänge by J.W.Kalliwoda. You can also find this here in complete form http://digital.blb-karlsruhe.de/id/117959 No pdf-downlad option yet, but in Safari (Mac) you can zoom to the highest resolution and then save very high quality jpegs (4500 dot, color) by dragging to the desktop. Karlsruhe also has a "recent additions page" http://digital.blb-karlsruhe.de/nav/history/ At the moment I have so much other stuff waiting to be completed that it would be quite some time before I could add these myself to imslp.--Kalliwoda 16:07, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up on finding this piece! And the links help too. I also have a long list of things waiting... But sill eventually get to it. Thanks so much. Generoso 16:39, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
- I just returned to the Badische LB, and discovered that things have changed - you only can drag the low res 800x1000 pixel jpegs to the desktop, all the higher resolutions are screen only (the save image option results in non-adjacent tiles of 300x300 pixels). I couldn't figure out how to systematically save all parts of an image. Only your screencapture method works. Seems like Milano. What a waste of a magnificent resource!--Kalliwoda 18:45, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- Yes what a pity that they make it so difficult! Generoso 08:17, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Changes again, this time for the better: They now have an easy pdf-download option, unfortunately in a lower but workable resolution (1000 pixel/120dpi). The magnificent high-res 3500x4500 pixel scans can still only be accessed by screenshots. --Kalliwoda 20:49, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
- You are right. But it is too bad that the highest resolution is not easier to download (the screen capture method works - but takes a long time). And the PDF version they have is not very high quality. What a pity. Perhaps they will eventually change? Generoso 21:52, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Zsadanyi arrangement
Hallo Generoso, Regarding Bihari Primatialis Magyarja: This is a work by János Bihari, arranged by Armand Zsadanyi, I have copied the files to the relevant workpage. See the entry for this work at the Hungarian National library http://nektar2.oszk.hu/librivision_eng.html}}. Even BnF has it wrong with its catalog entry.--Kalliwoda 07:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Hullámzó Balaton, Op.33 (Hubay, Jenö)
Dear Generoso Thanks for this nice piece. Have you also got the violon solo score? Thanks in advance for your answer. Kind regards Hibemael

Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 cello part missing pages
Dear Generoso Thanks for all your work on the Orchestra Parts Project. I noticed that there are 2 pages missing nos. 10 & 11 on Brahms Pno Concerto 2 cello part. Any chance you can fix it? Thanks! http://imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Concerto_No.2,_Op.83_(Brahms,_Johannes) Scutter7282 talk email09:53, 17 Jun 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for noticing this. My scan is the same (missing pp10-11) But I shall look for a complete version. Generoso 09:36, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for looking for a complete version. I also noticed that the last page of Schubert Symphony 9 cello part is missing. I happen to have OML PDF of that and it does have the last page, but I'm not sure how to remove logo as it is password protected. I do have CS3 and would do it myself but this is a roadblock. Thanks for your help! Scutter7282 11:40, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- Any chance you've had luck finding the missing Brahms page? I haven't been able to find it online. Scutter7282 3:08, 15 Feb 2012 (UTC)
- I have finally found a copy of the Brahms 2nd Piano concerto and the Schubert 9th Symphony. The Brahms, however, is from a different edition. Generoso 21:47, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- I also just got a copy of the Brahms from the same edition from a librarian friend. I've made a new PDF but I'm not sure how to upload it. I can simply upload it to the page and you can edit it in case I do it wrong? I also though I can simply print the last page of the Schubert and scan it in if you want me to. Thanks for looking though (it took me over a year to get it myself)! Scutter7282 1:08, 20 Mar 2012 (UTC)
- I have finally found a copy of the Brahms 2nd Piano concerto and the Schubert 9th Symphony. The Brahms, however, is from a different edition. Generoso 21:47, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

- It's been uploaded with an X next to the part. I assume you or someone will replace it and fix the way it's displayed? Scutter7282 12:08, 26 Mar 2012 (UTC)
IMSLP-US, Kodaly
what I can think of for now, would be to find some way to transfer the files to me or another imslp-us admin (I think this is legal since we are both in the US and they are pd-us). assuming enough publishing information, could then upload them myself/the other admin could. Eric 01:36, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
ah, apparently congrats on becoming a IMSLP-US admin and apologies re the above ! Eric 13:33, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, I think I am figuring out this different way of uploading. Generoso 13:37, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
Suite Española No.1, Op.47 (Albéniz, Isaac)
Hi Generoso. Would you mind reuploading the file you put here to the US server? Since the guy died in 1974, it will have to be deleted from the main server. (I'll leave the file up for a bit so you can easily save it again to upload - even though it's blocked, the uploader of a file can always download his/her own submissions.) Thanks, KGill talk email 23:51, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Music from Flash-Based Websites
Tutorial to get JPEG files from flash based sites... (like the Juilliard Manuscript Collection)
- Hi Generoso! I can confirm that Dezoomify works at Bach Digital. Apparently, you must specify a zoom level of 6 or the process will fail. One page from The Well-Tempered Clavier took about 13 minutes to download (6030 by 9186 pixels at 300dpi). It appears that with some modification by people smarter than I Dezoomify could be made to work with the tiled-jpg, Zoomify-type image display used by ThULB. With some minor modifications I was able to get it to read information from imageinfo.xml (ThULB's version of ImageProperties.xml) but the process fails at the point it tries to get the tiles. Zoomify uses a standard tile image directory structure that includes TileGroup#' in the path name so Dezoomify includes that in its formula for the path but ThULB uses what must be a row/column (or column/row) directory structure. I would image this would also necessitate modifying the means by which Dezoomify determines tile placement when stitching all the tiles together into the big image. All of that is way over my head. --Cypressdome 03:21, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the info on my talk page and for the tutorial : your name is well adapted to your gifts ! I had a look quickly It seems a bit chinese for me but I'll look at it closer --Squin 15:19, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

- Thanks Eric. Greetings Generoso 10:30, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
btw, died in 1962 - I think his music would have to go on the imslp.us server, maybe there are exceptions. Eric 04:58, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- No exceptions. Canada (where the main server is located) uses a life-plus-50 term. Goossens cannot be uploaded there until 1/1/2013. I have to delete these - sorry. Carolus 06:25, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello Generoso
From a WIMA user I've forwarded an error report on József Bloch, Op.34 to the forum, 'Feature Requests / Bug Reports', see http://imslpforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5597
I believe I should notify you as well

Category: List of easy violin pieces
You may remember that on the forums a month or two ago there was an inquiry about these, but we did not give the person much help. In the absence of a dfficulty tagging system I think the above would be very helpful for amateurs looking for music.
As a fellow string music uploader would you like to co-operate? I have been collecting pieces, mainly from Debrecen that would be suitable for a start.
I made a similar list of easy piano trios, which is on IMSLP but pretty inaccessible unfortunately. We have to be sure that the list comes up easily from the google search box. As a start I will make up a short list.
Regards WB
Goltermann Heller arrangements for cello
Have you ever seen the arrangement for cello of Heller's Pensees Fugitives? I stumbled on the title page only on the Debrecen site, along with the violin version (arr Ernst) It's IMSLP #168739. Regards WB
- I have not seen this. But I am always looking for new works. Thanks. Generoso 10:20, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Melartin Cantilène
Erm... belatedly re the Melartin Cantilène (from the Pieces for Violin and Piano, Op.44 (Melartin, Erkki)) - I know this is probably a date from the manuscript, but I suspect the date is not the date of composition - 1875 is the composer's birthdate. Likewise with the String Trio op.133. Melartin was not doing much composing that year unless he was more prodigal than Mozart... Eric 16:14, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
- You are right. Thanks for catching that! Generoso 16:19, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
BNF ; date of composition
BNF has a template, q.v. :) Also, if you don't know the date of composition but only the date of publication, the two could differ by months, years, decades or centuries, so... best to put the date of publication in the date of publication field... Eric 07:15, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Paganini String Quartet
Hello - I was just going to import the Paganini String Quartet from Sibley when I saw that you had already done it - congratulations on being so efficient!
I have done a bit of background research and discovered that there are 3 string quartets, composed about 1815-1818, which are given the opus number 1a. Thus, you may wish to create a work page under the title '3 String Quartets, Op.1a' and then we can add the other two quartets as they become available. That was my intention, anyway.
Have a look around and see what you can find out. Example here: http://www.recordsinternational.com/cd.php?cd=04N037
Aldona 03:24, 25 October 2012 (EDT)
- Only 3? I seem to recall a complete recording that had more than those, but I may be misremembering and will look into it... Eric 08:22, 25 October 2012 (EDT)
- Ah ok, yes. Op.1a because they were published, like the caprices, as op.1. There is I gather a cataloguing system for Paganini, MorP, meant to, as with some other composers, avoid such ambiguities, but I don't know what the MorP catalog-pairs for the 3 quartets are. I was thinking of the 15 guitar quartets, which had me confused; Dynamic's complete chamber music recording has 15 guitar quartets, 3 string quartets, and other works. RISM online (not that it claims completeness :) ) has none of those (though it has some other works of his.) Eric 08:28, 25 October 2012 (EDT)
- btw RISM says that the MorP a.b material is from Moretti, Maria Rosa (1982): Catalogo tematico delle musiche di Niccolò Paganini. A cura di Maria Rosa Moretti e Anna Sorrento. [Genova]: Comune di Genova. (422 pp, OCLC 11334809.) Eric 08:33, 25 October 2012 (EDT)
I have updated the Paganini quartet page. Thanks for the info! Generoso 11:19, 25 October 2012 (EDT)
- Actually there are the 3 String Quartets Op.1a
- 1. Quartet No.1 in D minor
- I. Allegro maestoso
- II. Minuetto: Allegretto
- III. Adagio con anima
- IV. Rondeau: Allegretto con brio
- 2. Quartet No.2. in E♭ major
- I. Maturato
- II. Minuetto: Allegretto
- III. Adagio, con transporto
- IV. Finale: Pressissimo
- 3. Quartet No.3 in A minor
- I. Largo - Allegro
- II. Minuetto: Andantino
- III. Andante con variazioni
- IV. Finale: Presto
And then there is also this String Quartet in E major (the only one we have on IMSLP at the moment)
- I. Allegro moderato
- II. Minuetto: Allegretto
- III. Cantabile sostenuto con passione: Adagio
- IV. Rondo: Vivace
So I have moved it to its own page. Generoso 11:52, 25 October 2012 (EDT)
- Ah good. Though in case one eventually needs the string quartets op.1a page for the latter quartets, one will need to undo those redirects (and/or create a page with a slightly different name for it, though that may be a less good option as it would decrease page title uniformity. :) Still, have done that myself in the past...) Eric 08:30, 26 October 2012 (EDT)

Tetralogy of Fallot What is Tetralogy of Fallot?
Tetralogy of Fallot is a name given to a complex of four cardiac malformations when they appear together:
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Pulmonary Stenosis (narrowing) Right Ventricular Hypertrophy (enlargement) Overriding Aorta For practical purposes, however, the signs and symptoms of Tetralogy of Fallot depend on the Ventricular Septal Defect and the degree of Pulmonary Stenosis. The VSD is a large hole in the wall between the ventricles. Pulmonary Stenosis is a narrowing in the outlet from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. With more severe degrees of Pulmonary Stenosis, the right ventricle delivers less and less blood to the arteries to the lungs for oxygenation. With increasing degrees of pulmonary stenosis, more and more of this blue blood (lacking oxygen) is directed away from the lungs, through the Ventricle Septal Defect, and back to the left ventricle and out to the body. Thus, as the Pulmonary Stenosis becomes increasingly narrowed, the patient becomes more blue.
What are the warning signs and symptoms of Tetralogy of Fallot?
The most common warning signs and symptoms of Tetralogy appear in a newborn or young infant and include:
Bluish coloring around the mouth, lips, tongue, and fingertips (called cyanosis) Presence of a heart murmur Occasionally, early on, the degree of Pulmonary Stenosis will be very mild and the symptoms will be that of a Ventricular Septal Defect, including labored breathing, poor feeding, and poor weight gain.
How is Tetralogy of Fallot detected?
Usually Tetralogy patients are initially referred for evaluation because of a heart murmur or cyanosis. This leads to performing an echocardiogram and the diagnosis of Tetralogy is documented. Occasionally, a cardiac catheterization with angiography is needed prior to surgery to obtain more detailed anatomical information.
What are the treatment options for Tetralogy of Fallot?
Patients with Tetralogy of Fallot generally undergo surgery in infancy. Most often a complete repair is performed with patch closure of the Ventricular Septal Defect and widening of the outflow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. Occasionally it is too dangerous to perform open-heart surgery on a particular infant and a temporizing surgery is performed called a shunt, which allows more blood to flow to the lungs. The open-heart repair is then deferred until the patient gets bigger.
Occasionally infants will have periods of inconsolable crying accompanied by a severe increase in cyanosis (called "Tet Spells") requiring immediate notification to the child's physician. For a referral to a St. Joseph's cardiologist call 979-821-7589

Tracking in Low Frame Rate Video: A Cascade Particle Filter with Discriminative Observers of Different Life Spans

Tracking object in low frame rate video or with abrupt motion poses two main difficulties which most conventional tracking methods can hardly handle: 1) poor motion continuity and increased search space; 2) fast appearance variation of target and more background clutter due to increased search space. In this paper, we address the problem from a view which integrates conventional tracking and detection, and present a temporal probabilistic combination of discriminative observers of different lifespans. Each observer is learned from different ranges of samples, with different subsets of features, to achieve varying level of discriminative power at varying cost. An efficient fusion and temporal inference is then done by a cascade particle filter which consists of multiple stages of importance sampling.

Next week will be a big week for Windows 8. Micosoft will launch the Windows 8 Consumer Preview at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona on Feb 29.
So what does that mean? The beta version will be available so here are some tips about what to do with it after you download the copy.
Prelimary Hardware Tips
To start, you will need the following hardware:
- 1GHz processor
- 1GB RAM for 32-bit OS, 2GB RAM for 64-bit OS
- DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
- 16 GB HDD free space for 32-bit, 20GB HDD free space for 64-bit
Be careful where you install the beta version. Don't install it on a production system. Install it on a sidebar PC, one that will no be used for any other means except to see the Windows 8 OS in operation.
Also, a PC will probably have the generic drivers needed to make the system operational. So that is a good place to start. How about tablets, laptops, and other devices? Hmm. No don't do that. Stick to a PC, after all it is a beta version. Also don't install it over a Windows 7 system. Format the drive, and install clean. If problems occur with the OS, you want to be able to say that it is Windows 8 causing the problems, not some interaction with another OS.
What if I don't have an ARM based motherboard, will Windows 8 install?
Right now, nobody has ARM, so it will install, and so that will not be an issue. Also, an x86 version is in the works, so your PC's should handle the Win 8 OS installation.
Finally, Windows 8 has a built in touch screen technology, But that doesn't mean that now, you can use your regular monitor to do the touch screen operations. For that you will have to purchase a touch screen monitor.

On the chess boards the white king won't show up if the board settings are set to "classic".
By rIght clicking on the square where the king is supposed to be and then choose "view image" a page turns up saying "File Not Found". The URL for that page is:
The similar image for the black king is OK:
what browser are you using?
i see both pieces.
I am using Mozilla Firefox. Note that it is when the board settings are set to "classic" that the white king won't show. Did you see a picture in both of those two links I posted in my former post?
yes, i see a picture for both. maybe clear your cache, etc?
I have tried out reloading several times and logging out/logging in with no luck. Right now I tested it in Internet Explorer and there it is OK. So for some reason Firefox is not able to locate that image.
yeah - your browser :( sorry! how else can i help?
Well, I don't know right now. Anyway, for the time being I set the settings to "modern" since that display the white king correctly so that I can see my games correctly.
I handled the matter by clearing the content of the cache folder.

YORK, Maine — The driver of a truck that crashed into a utility pole on Route 1 south Thursday morning, severing the pole, has been charged with operating under the influence, according to York police.
David Garrity, 52, 18 Spicebush Road, Wells, remains in York Hospital early Thursday afternoon with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Sgt. Thomas Baran.
Police have several witnesses who say they saw Garrity driving erratically, he said. Several empty and full cans of beer were found on the floor of the Ford Ranger truck, he said.
Garrity is scheduled to appear in York District Court on Wednesday, March 20.
The accident happened on the southbound side of Route 1, across from Peyson Lane. A deployed airbag could be seen on the driver's side of the white Ford pickup, and the windshield was smashed.
The road was reopened to traffic around 11:30 a.m.

Autism Coverage Varies From State to State
Aug. 13, 2013 -- Autism is a brain disorder that affects a child's behavior and ability to communicate. It ranges from mild to severe and covers a large spectrum of symptoms. Around 1% of U.S. children from birth to age 21 have been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, according to the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities.
The most common treatment is applied behavioral analysis. That typically is one-on-one counseling to improve a child's behavior in different situations; it also teaches them how to learn new tasks, such as getting dressed in the morning or playing with other children. Experts think it is among the most helpful therapies, especially if it begins when the child is around 2 or 3.
In the past several years, 37 states have passed laws requiring autism-related coverage in state-regulated insurance plans. But those rules don't extend to the new health insuranceMarketplaces, unless the state requires insurance companies to do so.
Under the Affordable Care Act, all insurance plans sold in the state Marketplaces must cover 10 essential benefits. That includes "behavioral health treatment" and "rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices." However, the Department of Health and Human Services declined to specify treatment of autism as an essential health benefit and left the matter to the states.
Here are some answers to questions about autism treatment and health care reform:
Q: Will all insurance plans sold in the state Marketplaces include autism treatment such as applied behavioral analysis?
A: It depends on the state where you live. In 24 states plus Washington, D.C., insurance carriers will cover behavioral health treatments that include autism treatments like applied behavioral analysis.
Q: In which state Marketplaces will autism treatments like applied behavioral analysis be included in coverage?
A: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Washington, D.C., will have autism coverage. Colorado will have coverage, but insurers can limit the number of visits.

Two hundred years ago the founders of Princeton Theological Seminary wrote that it is to be a place that unites the "piety of the heart…with solid learning." We who serve on the Chapel Office staff seek to create opportunities for students to grow personally and spiritually as they engage in seminary studies. Opportunities include participation in worship, music ministries, pastoral care, counseling, spiritual direction, holistic health initiatives, and much more. We invite you to explore the links and we welcome your inquiries in the Chapel Office, which is located in Scheide Hall.
A Spiritual Home
We hope that Miller Chapel becomes a spiritual home for you while you engage in Seminary studies. There are regular services of worship for the entire Seminary community, and the doors are open daily to all for personal reflection and prayer. There is a prayer box located in the narthex of the chapel. Please feel free to share what is on your heart and mind. Prayer requests will be read by the Minister of the Chapel and kept confidential.
Worship happens in many forms and in many places on our campus. In Miller Chapel, we hold regular worship services Monday through Friday at 11:30 a.m. when classes are in session. The Sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated on Fridays throughout both semesters. Students are invited to participate in the Seminary Choir, which helps lead music during worship. Special services are also scheduled throughout the year, and can be found on the academic schedule and Seminary calendars. More info.
Pastoral Care
Recognizing that students at Princeton Seminary are often far from their home faith communities, the Minister of the Chapel, Jan Ammon, is available for pastoral care and support. This may include comfort in times of sorrow, prayer in times of need, and conversation about spiritual reflection and vocational discernment. Referrals for formal spiritual direction or counseling can also be made. The Minister of the Chapel coordinates the worship life of the chapel and is pastor to the students.
Counseling Services and Spiritual Direction
Nancy Schongalla-Bowman, the Director of Student Counseling, coordinates counseling services for students and spouses. Please refer to the student counseling web page and brochures for information about counseling, spiritual direction, retreats, and group opportunities for personal growth.
Students with musical talents and gifts are encouraged to contact Martin Tel, the Director of Music, about using these gifts in worship and/or in the Seminary Choir. Other ensembles, such as the Bell Choir, Gospel Choir, and instrumental groups, are generated by student initiative. The Chapel Office supports these groups and often schedules them for leadership in worship services. Practice rooms, located in the basement of Scheide Hall, are furnished with pianos and are available for student use. More info.

SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher has been a tireless advocate for the system she runs, as have those who preceded her. Reflecting the economic climate of the past few years, she has been an equally tireless advocate for what SUNY can do for New York.
That was her message in Ulster County last week, characterizing SUNY as "a key engine of revitalization for New York state's economy."
One cog in that machine is the governor's controversial program to give sweeping tax breaks to companies locating or expanding in SUNY communities. While there are many things to debate, there is one point where Zimpher's two crusades align.
Frederick Kowal, the new president of the union representing SUNY faculty, says that if the campuses are the main attraction, they should be the main recipient of money the program generates.
That's an idea that the chancellor should promote and the governor and legislators should accept.

Lake Thurmond is 6 feet below where it should be thanks to drought conditions. (WRDW-TV / Sept. 1, 2011)
News 12 at 5 o'clock / Thursday, Sept. 1, 2011
CLARKS HILL, S.C. -- It's a busy time of the year as families prepare to enjoy a three-day weekend.
Some will head to Lake Thurmond for some camping, hiking and swimming.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says tough times with the economy and the environment have them making changes that could affect you.
It's been a while since we've seen a good, soaking rain and the dangerous drought conditions we're dealing with could mean a little less lake.
The sun beams give little promise this lake will see any rain.
Danny Boyles has been camping at the lake for a week.
"The water levels are terrible," he said.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Operations Project Manager Scott Hyatt says the lake is just about 6 feet down from what would be considered a full pool lake level.
"It messes up the fishing, skiing, tubing," Boyles said.
Hyatt says, though, there is still plenty of water -- about 70,000 acres of it.
"We know some of the hazards that come up out of the lake; at certain elevations we go out and we mark them," he said.
Meanwhile, Boyles takes advantage of the season.
"We'd like to stay open year round 'cause we enjoy it so much," he said.
However, budget constraints mean closing season will come sooner for some campgrounds.
"We're looking to close all of them, except for Petersburg, four of them earlier around September 30th related to budget unknowns in 2012," said US Army Corps of Engineers Park Operations Manager Aaron Wahus.
He's talking about Modoc, Big Hart, Winfield and Raysville. They will be closing earlier this year on Sept. 30.
"The recreational line corp wide has taken a large impact, here at Thurmond Lake we've taken a 22 percent cut in the last five years," Wahus said.
For the past two years, some areas of the day-use parks have been closing right after Labor Day. You can thank lack of money for that.
"The dwindling federal budget and what's available now; the Corps of Engineers has taken a large impact from the reductions just like all the other agencies," Wahus said.
It's more of a reason for Boyles and his family to come out here, rain or shine.
"It's a great place to come to get away from the house, peace and quiet, and to have a good time," Boyles said.
The Army Corps of Engineers wants everyone to know two boat ramps are closed this weekend because of the water levels. They expect a few more to close next week as well.
They say, as far as the budget, they are working with a company on a future partnership for the upcoming year. If all goes as planned, that could keep all campgrounds open longer and even provide for more services.

King Lear
by William Shakespeare
Analysis: Plot Analysis
Most good stories start with a fundamental list of ingredients: the initial situation, conflict, complication, climax, suspense, denouement, and conclusion. Great writers sometimes shake up the recipe and add some spice.
Initial Situation
Split the kingdom; bring on retirement.
Uh-oh. Anybody who has read Henry IV Part 1 (or lives in seventeenth-century England) knows it's not a good idea for Lear to split up the kingdom so he can enjoy an early retirement. We wonder what will happen next…
Banishment and general scheming.
Lear decides to divide his kingdom based on which of his daughters professes the most love for him. The love-game doesn't go so well, and Cordelia ends up disowned. Kent is similarly banished, and Edmund decides to be evil. We have political and personal conflicts here.
Family issues boil over.
Lear's daughters (Goneril and Regan, that is) aren't exactly hostess material, and Lear is most definitely a lousy guest so, there's some serious domestic drama coming to a head at this point.
Thunder, lightning, and violence.
Furious at the ingratitude of his children, Lear walks out on both of them and wanders screaming into the thunderstorm. Thunder and lightning are pretty strong indicators of the climax, as is Lear's searing language and emerging insanity. Gloucester also gets his eyes plucked out when he tries to help Lear and Edmund rats him out.
Armies and hidden identities.
As Cordelia's French troops march somewhere offstage, tension builds. Also, with everyone wearing disguises and concealing their true identities, it's only a matter of time before the truth is revealed. But until that happens, we can feel the tingly anticipation of waiting for it.
Cordelia dies.
Lear and Cordelia lose the battle and are imprisoned. Lear, wiser now than at the beginning of the play, says he doesn't mind—he's learned over the course of the play that power politics don't matter, while a good relationship with his daughter does. But then Cordelia is hanged. Oops.
Empty nothingness.
Heartbroken, Lear dies while cradling his daughter in his arms. Somebody obviously has to take over the kingdom now, but nobody really wants to the job.

This is not the fault of the police or the sheriff. The fault lies with the clerk of courts who prepared the docket that day. They are privy to wants and warrants, not the bailiffs and the deputies working security.

Do you have a predictable pattern when seasons change to fall and/or winter?
If you experience two or more of these patterns for two of more years you may be affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD is different than major depression in that SAD is a cyclic type of depression that is usually experienced as the amount of day light decreases and temperatures decrease. The exact cause of SAD is still undetermined. However, SAD is believed to be related to changes in: blood levels of the light sensitive hormone melatonin; body temperature; and sleep patterns. The risk of experiencing SAD can be associated with higher latitudes, younger population, and being female. Women comprise 60-90% of persons with SAD.
Suggestions for Coping with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
What is the difference between SAD and the ''winter blues?'' The winter blues can usually be helped with increased physical activity and increased amounts of light in the living and work environment. SAD sufferers may need more intensive treatment, specifically anti-depressant therapy and phototherapy.
If you'd like to talk with a counselor about SAD, please call 218-726-7913 to schedule an appointment.
For more information and support contact: National Organization for Seasonal Affective Disorder (NOSAD), P.O. Box 40133, Washington, D.C. 20016.

Gun control, immigration top Obama's second term agenda
Four challenges for Obama when he returns to the Oval Office after today's inauguration celebrations
PRESIDENT OBAMA celebrated his inauguration in Washington DC today with a "scaled-back" ceremony at which the singer Beyonce was set to be the most flamboyant participant. But after giving a speech in which he appealed to Americans to "seek common ground", the President now turns his attention to a second term agenda that is almost certain to be divisive. Here are four key challenges that could define Obama's remaining years in the White House:
Gun control: Whether the Sandy Hook massacre proves to be a watershed for America's attempts to curb gun violence will be decided by the fate of measures outlined by Obama last week to tighten gun control. His most significant proposals limit the size of ammunition magazines, ban assault weapons and require universal checks on people buying firearms. The plan won "little praise" from Republicans, says NBC, and because they control the House there's little chance of getting the assault weapons ban or a reduction in the size of magazines. The most likely outcome, The Guardian says, is that Congress will back "tightening up rules on gun buyers". This concession and the "executive actions" Obama made this week to increase research into gun violence, and appoint a new head of the federal firearms bureau, might be all the White House can realistically hope to achieve.
Immigration: The record turnout of Hispanic voters in last November's election means the president is "practically obligated" to reform US immigration laws, says NBC. It's likely he'll order a "halt" to the deportation of "young, undocumented immigrants brought to the US as minors", says France24, and allow them to apply for work permits. Obama may also urge Congress to pass the DREAM Act which would offer those immigrants permanent residency. There are about 11 million immigrants in the US and Obama will urge Congress to overhaul the visa system so highly skilled people find it easier to get a visa. The Republican Party needs to start attracting Latino voters so they may go along with some or all of these reforms, France24 says.
Energy and climate change: Obama has to give "this challenge the priority it deserves", says the Washington Post. The paper says the best environmental policies to reduce America's emissions would require "congressional action" but the president seems "unwilling to push for a carbon tax". Americans should hear from their leaders "about the risks the planet faces and why it makes sense to spend now to head off more costly consequences later", the paper says.
Reducing debt: Obama begins his second term facing "unprecedented budget constraints" that will limit his ability to implement his vision, says Reuters. Obama and the Republicans struck a deal to stop America tumbling off the fiscal cliff, but they failed to reach a "grand bargain" over spending and debt reduction, says About.com. Obama wants to close tax loopholes and limit the tax deductions available to wealthier Americans, but he is opposed to spending cuts that hurt "middle-class households, senior citizens and families with disabled children".

"Just yesterday, I took an oath to protect and defend our nation from any threat, foreign or domestic. Gun violence has become a domestic threat. Ten times more Americans die by gun violence each year than died on 9/11, and it is time that we stand together for the sake of freedom and safety within our borders. It is reasonable to be afraid that if you surrender your firearm, you will be vulnerable to attack by someone who has not surrendered theirs. However, I have decided to call on you, the American people, to stand bravely in that fear, to risk your safety, to some small extent, in order to save the lives of our friends and neighbors. I ask you to willingly lay down your firearms, and be a soldier for peace. You will risk your life, just like a soldier for war. But as Mahatma Gandhi proved in India, an army that refuses to participate in injustice is invincible. Let us wait no longer. Let us be the generation to cure the plague of gun violence that has swept our beloved nation. We will wait for no legislation; we will end no debates. We will begin here and now to risk our lives for our fellow Americans by choosing freely and willingly to make ourselves defenseless, armed only with faith, good will, and determination. The bullet stops here. May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America." --Barack Obama (if I wrote his speeches)

This annual charity fishing tournament began with Manistee County charter Captain Bob Guenthardt. Bob is a former Ogema of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians and a proud Army veteran. His idea and desire to show appreciation to members of the military for their dedication and sacrifice provided the foundation for this unique event. In the fall of 2009, Captain Bob, the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians and the Little River Casino Resort created a "Host Committee", which later reached out to the Paralyzed Veterans of America, Michigan Chapter and the Brain Injury Association of Michigan and the entire Manistee area community. Captain Bob's fleet of volunteer fishing boat captains, local organizations such as Little River Band of Ottawa Indians Warrior Society, United Veterans Council, Rolling Thunder Michigan Chapter 1, Michigan National Guard and U.S. Coast Guard, many private businesses, and hundreds of volunteer individuals throughout the state of Michigan joined together and successfully executed this outstanding event.
Now in its 7th year Tight Lines for Troops (a federally recognized nonprofit organization) proudly announces its 7th Annual Charity Fishing Tournament for Michigan Veterans. The event will be held at the Manistee City Marina in Downtown Manistee this year, and will include increased opportunities to interact with the local community, who have consistently honored and supported our veterans and this event in prior years. Seng's Marina has very graciously hosted this event for the last several years, and is integrally involved in this year's event in its new location in our beautiful downtown.
The 2016 boat fleet consists of approximately 40 big lake fishing boats, and several boats accustomed to providing a river fishing experience for those who are interested. Again, the host committee will offer a Pier/Shore division for those who wish to fish from the shore. In all, the 2016 Tight Lines Fishing Tournament will deliver a memorable experience for approximately 250 Michigan Veterans, most of whom have not yet had an opportunity to attend and participate in this outstanding event. Those who receive "boarding priority" are WWII and Korean War vets, Purple Heart recipients, veterans disabled, POWs, and then any Veteran of any branch of service, and select active duty service people.
Though the fishing tournament itself is limited to registered participants, the public is invited to join the
"Welcome Back Celebration" as the boats return to the marina, traveling up the river channel to the City Marina. The Riverwalk along the river channel will be lined with patriotic and appreciative fans, waving their flags to cheer and welcome the fishermen back "home". In expressing his gratitude for the event one previous participant said, "When I came home from duty, we were told not to wear our uniforms. The people were tired of Southeast Asia. Thank you for honoring these great men and women for their service. I was honored to be part of the day." Another participant shared these feelings: "This is the Welcome Home I never received. After all these years, I cried because I didn't realize how much it meant to me. I was proud to take part." Every year we are moved by these same types of comments. Be a part of the Celebration and join us on the Riverwalk for the Flag Welcome!
The success of this program is a result of the collective efforts of over 500 sponsors and volunteers.
Veterans pay no charter fees or entry fees. It is with great pleasure and honor that we all look forward to hosting the 7th Annual Tight Lines for Troops Charity Fishing Tournament for Michigan Veterans on May 21st, 2016.
