Apple announces Mountain Lion
Ciara O'Brien
Just as you're getting used to Lion, Apple has decided that we need a new update for its Mac OS X system. It's only been seven months, but Mountain Lion is bringing with it a lot of things that may look more than a little familiar to Apple's mobile users.
So what exactly will Mountain Lion do that is so different?
Address Book:
Mac users can wave goodbye to Address Book on their machine; it's becoming Contacts, the same name used on iPhones and iPads. And it's changing too, making it easier to use with a choice of display modes, and a easy way to share contacts.
This is another one of those things that's getting a name change and a facelift. iChat will be replaced bya new Messages app, that will allow you to send unlimited messages, including photos and videos, directly from your Mac to another Mac or iOS device.
It will still support AIM, Jabber, Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk. If you're already on Lion, a beta version is available on Apple's website.
iOS 5 brought the Notification Center to mobile users; now OS X Mountain Lion will do the same for the Mac. Alerts from Mail, Calendar, Messages, Reminders, system updates and third party apps will all be available here.
Mountain Lion allegedly makes it easier to set up iCloud to access documents, pushing changes to all your iCloud enabled devices.
Twitter integration:
Like in iOS 5, Twitter is going to integrated right into Mountain Lion. You can update your Twitter status from Safari, share images directly from Photo Booth and tweet from third party apps too.
Mountain Lion includes a new security feature, Gatekeeper, which allows you to control what can be downloaded and installed on your Mac. Although you can still choose to install applications from all over the internet, Gatekeeper's default setting permits only apps from the Mac App Store and those developers that have a unique Developer ID from Apple. You can increase that security threshold if you wish, although that limits you to only Mac Store apps.
The rest:
Mountain Lion is bringing Reminders and Notes to your Mac so you can keep your memos synced across all your devices, whether they're iOS or OS X. Meanwhile, Game Center is also on the way, along with AirPlay Mirroring (through Apple TV) and system-wide Share Sheets to share links, photos and videos directly from Apple and third party apps.
The developer preview is coming soon, but the public release won't be until late in the summer.

This issue of the Journal of Seventeenth-Century Music reflects the wide diversity in current scholarship in seventeenth-century
musical studies. The four articles treat Italian cantatas, English harpsichord
music, French opera in Antwerp, and the intersection of solo and ensemble music
by a German violinist in England. The reviews are equally varied, dealing with
Buxtehudes organ music, Italian sacred music in Germany, the soundscape of
early America, gospel motets in Germany, and motets by Charpentier in France.
Related to the last review is a Communication announcing a previously
unrecognized autograph manuscript of Charpentier.
This issue has been considerably delayed for a variety of
reasons; this explains why there are occasional references to publications or
descriptions that postdate 2009, the official date of the issue. I am pleased
to be able to say, however, that JSCM is now moving ahead, and the next
issues are already in production, so we are headed towards getting back on
Please note that we have moved: JSCM is no longer
published by the University of Illinois Press, as the Society for
Seventeenth-Century Music has returned to exercising direct control of its
journal. Physically, JSCM is on an independent server; the URL remains
http://www.sscm-jscm.org/, but some readers may well have bookmarked a version
of the URL that included press.illinois.edu, which is no longer valid. We are
grateful to Paul Arroyo for implementing the transition and for serving as
technical editor for the present volume.
Volume 15, no. 1, is the last issue of JSCM for which
I will serve as Editor-in-Chief. My work for the Journal has been enormously
rewarding, starting as Reviews Editor in 1995 (vol. 1) and then taking on my
current role in 2004 (vol. 10). We welcome Kelley Harness as the next
Editor-in-Chief, and she is already hard at work on the next volumes. To assure
continuity, I will remain an ex officio member of JSCMs
editorial board, as does our founding Editor-in-Chief, Kerala Snyder.
We encourage communications from readers about issues that
our articles and reviews treat. Such communications are published in a
subsequent issue of JSCM, with a note and link appended to the original
Proposals from authors for articles are always welcome at JSCM (see the Guidelines for Contributors). I call
authors attention to the fact that we publish a Style Sheet, which can
be downloaded from the Guidelines page. Another page on our site, Support JSCM, encourages financial support from readers who find JSCM useful. We have no intention of charging any fee to read this journal, but its
production is not without considerable expense.

For the Mirror
LORETTO - If Jessica Miller had her way, not only would people get to see her students' finished artwork, but they'd also view them creating the pieces, because, she said, that's really when the kids shine.

This artwork was done by Altoona Area High School senior Amber Gordon, which is included in an exhibit of area student art at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art in Loretto.
"The viewer doesn't get to see those 'light bulb' moments of eureka when (the students) understand something for the first time,'' said Miller, who teaches art at Claysburg-Kimmel Elementary School in Claysburg. "That's the true art.''
Miller's students are among a group of 300 young artists from the region whose work is featured in exhibits currently on display at the Southern Alleghenies Museums of Art in Loretto and Ligonier. The students, representing grades kindergarten through 12, are from schools in Blair, Bedford, Cambria and Somerset counties in the Loretto exhibition, said Jessica Campbell, SAMA's education coordinator.
Their artwork is on display at the museum on the campus of St. Francis University from now through April 12, Campbell said. A special opening reception is scheduled for today at the museum in Loretto.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Reception for student art exhibit
Where: Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Loretto, on the campus of St. Francis University.
When: 1 to 4 p.m. today
Cost: Free, but $1 donation per person is suggested in support of exhibition
Campbell said the exhibit is part of a celebration of National Youth Art Month and state Arts-In-Education Month. Schools that are part of the museum's education outreach program were invited to participate in the exhibit. The outreach program allows museum personnel to go into participating area schools to teach students about art, Campbell said.
"The exhibition is a way to showcase the talented youth in our area as well as an outreach for our education programs,'' she said.
Campbell's predecessor, Sharon Wall, who is now the art teacher at Altoona Area High School, said the idea for having students exhibit their artwork at the SAMA locations started as a way to get young people interested in art and art museums. Wall, who was the first SAMA education coordinator, said museum officials first began the Artists in Residence program that brings noted artists to the area to teach art to students. Museum personnel also started taking artwork from its permanent collection to schools to show students original pieces of art up close.
The idea for the annual student exhibit, which has been held for at least 16 years according to Campbell, grew from those efforts, Wall said. Hopefully, by seeing the artwork and meeting artists in person, students would be encouraged to check out more art themselves, she said.
"It was a way to draw a different audience than what would usually go to the museum,'' Wall said.
Several of Wall's students have artwork hanging in the exhibit, like seniors Destiny Eames and Kirsten Stottenberg, both of Altoona. Their acrylic painting pieces are the result of an assignment from Wall that challenged them to recreate a memory of something that is precious to them, they said.
The two students came up with works that are very different in subject matter. Eames' work displays a crying eye and a heart, based on her memories of a fellow classmate who passed away last year.
"Honestly, I was a little sad while I was doing it, but it's OK,'' she said. "I like to use art to express my feelings.''
Eames said she has always enjoyed exploring her artistic side and plans a career in either graphic art or fashion design. Like all the students from Altoona High whose work is in the exhibit, she is in Advance Placement Art class.
In contrast, Stottenberg's artwork is upbeat, a painting that she drew about her boyfriend, another senior at Altoona High. She included stencils in her work and drew such details in her painting as a view of him in his hat. He's a shy person, so at first he was a little self-conscious when he heard that it would be hanging in an exhibit, but he then said it was OK, she said.
Stottenberg said she plans to be a kindergarten teacher and incorporate art whenever she can in the classroom.
"I have always loved to draw, even when I was a kid,'' she said. "I really love using vibrant colors.''
This is the first year Miller has participated in the exhibit and she said her students are very excited about seeing their artwork at the museum. Miller said Claysburg-Kimmel Elementary sent artwork from 13 students in first through sixth grades.
"I loved watching their eyes light up as I told them about their art being a part of the exhibition,'' she said. "Seeing something that they painted in a gallery, transformed into a framed and matted masterpiece, really changes the experience.''
One of her students, Maggie Knisely, a sixth grader from Claysburg, created a monochromatic landscape for the exhibit using paint.
"I love using paint because if you make a mistake, you can always fix it,'' she said.

Hello Fair Fan!
Wondering what you should see and do at the fair tomorrow? Look no further. Here are some ideas to get you started.
First off, it's Kids Day at the Fair! Children 12 and under get in for free! It's also the Petaluma Community Day.
Gates open at 11:00 am and close at 11:00 pm, which gives you plenty of time to see everything!
Racing fans should be in Shade Park by 11:30 am if they want to get the inside scoop on the daily horse races. Michael Patricks and Professor Gordon Jones will be sharing their collective expertise at handicapping.
Take a stroll through the Hall of Flowers and see the beautiful displays of flowers and water features. Be sure to check out the fantastic diamond fountain!
While you're in the area, be sure to visit the Hall of History, in the Garden Building, directly south of the Hall of Flowers. Check out the different exhibits and displays provided by different community groups, and the wealth of memorabilia and photos showing the Fair's 75 years of history. If you or your family have been in the area for a while, you might just see some familiar faces!
If you're in the mood for entertainment for the whole family, you can't go wrong with the Diamond Jubilee Review at the Redwood Stage (2:00 and 7:00 pm). This old-fashioned vaudeville-style show features jugglers, acrobats, magicians, and even famous performing pigs! These pigs have been on Letterman and Leno.
Or, if you're looking to be more active, consider trying out at one of the many contests around the grounds. At the Barnyard Stage, there's Scarecrow Building and Scarecrow UN-Building, as well as a Family Look-Alike contest, and a Bubblegum Blowing Contest.
Of course, there are a lot of animals to see at the fair! Besides the exhibition animals on display or showing in the various barns and show rings, there are the very entertaining Splash Dogs and highly hilarious Wild West Turkey Stampede. You can also visit with baby animals and their mothers at Uncle Sam's Farm or learn how to milk a "faux" cow at Sweet Lil's Farmery in the Lyttle Cow Palace. Or, if you prefer, get in and pet all kinds of animals at the Great American Petting Zoo.
If live music is your thing, there are three stages where you can catch music pretty much all day long. At the Park Stage, there's local performers Savannah Blue, and De Colores will be playing in the Mexican Village. And, you don't want to miss the KTRY Country
Music Showdown at 6:00 pm at the Park Stage, where you can watch contestants in a country music sing-off!
If all of that walking around and sightseeing has you tuckered out, stop by the Kraft Building and see John, our couch potato. You can hang out, watch TV and shoot the breeze with John!
See you at the Fair!

Dr. Hartmann has undertaken a difficult task and carried it off beautifully. This book is a carefully written, fully documented account of what is known to date of the development, physiology, neuroanatomy, and biochemistry of a state of being he calls the D-state (where D is for Dream). It is a remarkable book in many ways.
It is very complete in its résumé of where we stand on all fronts of investigation in this field which has had such a phenomenal growth spurt in the last ten years. Although his text runs only to some 150 pages, his bibliography numbers over 650 items, most of them from the 1960's. If any reader wants to catch up with this research area, here, in one small package, is the best way to do it.

A few years ago the National Trust took over ownership of Tredegar House & Gardens in Newport (it was previously owned by Newport Council). Since they took over my parents have been working there as volunteers and really enjoy it.
They were working today, so as it looked like it would be dry this morning, I decided to borrow mum's car and go and visit.
We had a wander through the gardens first and they had deck chairs and games out on the lawn.
Then on to the stables where they have some toy horses that the children can ride.
We headed into the House and looking out of the windows it looked like we'd timed it just right – it was pouring down! We didn't look at everything as we have been a few times before, but I can highly recommend all the rooms. They are so ornate, it's amazing. In one of the rooms there are some games set up on the table which you can play, Dan and Olly had a quick game of draughts. There's also a big dressing up box, with a few wigs, which Dan enjoyed having a rummage through.
They also all had a play in the shadow puppet theatre, Ben and Olly seemed to particularly enjoy that one.
As it was still raining we had a quick look around upstairs. This time one of the rooms was set up as a school room, with a display of photos of when Tredegar House was a school. The other rooms are set up as they would've been in the 1920's when it was still used as a home.
We made our way back downstairs and into the kitchen, which of course is huge! They had a few bowls of crushed spices which you can stir around. Dan was having a good sniff of everything.
Back outside it was still raining and it was starting to thunder. The boys still wanted to run around in the park and go to the play area, Dan had been carrying his football the whole time. They pretty soon gave in to the fact that it was a bit wet and cold and we all decided to go back to the car.
An enjoyable few hours and I would highly recommend a visit.

CLAYSBURG - Claysburg-Kimmel boys basketball practice does not end until point guard Austin Lamont makes his free throws.
All of those free throws paid dividends for the Bulldogs Monday. Lamont converted 7-of-8 from the line in the final minute as part of his game-high 20 points in a 51-43 win over Bellwood-Antis at the Claysburg-Kimmel High School gym.
"Austin's been the starting point guard for four years. At the end of the game, he's going to be the one with the ball in his hands. He did a great job," Claysburg coach Josh Klausman said.

Bellwood-Antis' Sawyer Kline can't control a pass between Claysburg-Kimmel's Luke Eberhart (35) and Brandon Gergely.
Bellwood gave the Bulldogs all they could handle, overcoming an early 11-point deficit to hold one-point leads both at the half and the end of the third quarter.
After the two teams exchanged baskets to open the fourth quarter, Brandon Gergely drained a wide-open 3-pointer from the wing then followed that with a putback of his own miss to put Claysburg ahead 37-33.
The Bulldogs increased the lead to 40-35 before a pair of freshmen scored on back-to-back possessions to tie the game.
Sawyer Kline knocked down a 15-footer from the baseline and Joey Padula hit a 3 from the wing to make it a 40-40 game with 2:30 to play.
Gergely answered moments later with a 3-pointer of his own from the corner to give Claysburg back the lead for good. The junior swingman finished with 10 points, eight of which came in the fourth quarter.
"When Brandon catches the ball in stride and elevates for the shot, you can almost count on it going in," Klausman said. "Each and every game, he's stepping up more and more. He's a big key to the success of our team."
With the win, Claysburg stays within one game of first place Juniata Valley in the Inter-County Conference North Division at 6-3, 8-6 overall. Bellwood falls to 2-6 in league play, 3-11 overall.
"For the first three quarters, we were playing well as team, making the extra pass and hitting the open man," Bellwood coach Brent Gerwert said. "The fourth quarter there was too much dribbling around. Everyone trying to do things by themselves. That's the sign of a young team. That's bit us a lot this season."
Bellwood has just one senior on the roster. The starting lineup Monday consisted of three sophomores and a freshman.
Alex Bartlett led the Blue Devils with 17 points and Nathan Davis scored 14.
"Bellwood's going to be tough for years to come. Nathan Davis is such a smooth player. Austin Lamont and Carter Cerully did a good job of keeping the ball out of his hands," Klausman said. "Carter may not have had a big scoring night, but he kept Davis from going off for 25-30 points."
Sparked by eight points from Lamont early on, Claysburg jumped out to a 15-4 lead. When Cody Dugan made a layup off a pass from Tyler Brown early in the second quarter, the Bulldogs led 19-10. It was the last point of the first half for Claysburg.
"We had four for five bad possessions when they went back into a zone. I'm not sure why it took so long to identify it. We'd make one pass and shoot," Klausman said.
Bellwood closed the half strong with a 10-0 run. Bartlett started the run with five straight points on a jump shot and a 3-point play. Davis and Jake Burch followed with back-to-back layups.
Davis then was fouled shooting a 3-pointer with under one second on the clock and converted 1-of-3 free throws for a 20-19 halftime lead.
"We were limiting them to one shot and were able to stop them from running. They got 10 points on the fastbreak early. We were able to control that," Gerwert said.
Bellwood increased its lead to six in the third quarter when Davis sank a 3-pointer from the top key followed by a short jump shot.
Luke Eberhart, who finished with 12 points, closed the gap with back-to-back buckets and Lamont tied the game 28-28 with a steal and a reverse layup.
Davis sank another 3-pointer and Eberhart scored on a putback of a Gergely miss to make it a 31-30 contest after three quarters.

Tasting Notes
Sweet, ripe crushed red berry fruit flavors and aromas are offset by bright, vibrant notes of black pepper and a suggestion of leather in this wine, and are supported by supple, medium-bodied tannins.
Wine Maker Notes
The fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled vats at 30° to 32°C (86° to 89°F) over eight to ten days. A single cuvée is assembled and aged in large oak "foudres," or vats, for a period of four to six months prior to egg white fining and bottling. The style of Château Mont-Redon Côtes-du-Rhône is one expressive of its "terroir," and vinified to exhibit deep, clean, intense fruit, soft, balanced tannins and early approachability.
Technical Notes
ituated on the left bank of the Rhône between Orange and Avignon, the Mont-Redon vineyards feature large, rounded stones known locally as galets. These stones retain some of the intense daytime heat of the southern sun and then slowly disperse it to the vines during the night. The Mistral wind blows away any humidity, ensuring excellent climatic conditions for the cultivation of vines. The grapes were handpicked and 100% destemmed, followed by a 12- to 15-day maceration to achieve good tannic structure. After malolactic fermentation, half the wine was matured in vats and half in barrels for 12 months until bottling.
Food Pairing
Pair with herbed, grilled meats or aged cheeses.

Sunday=procrastination day. Especially after a 5 day weekend. I spent the day with one of my girlfriends and I think it was the best thing I've done in a while. She gave me some perspective that I needed before I do anything stupid. I can only hope I was able to provide the same.
B: Swirly zucchini squash and 3 pcs of bacon.
S: Kind Fruit and Nut bar
I didn't really have lunch since I knew I was going to have dinner with the boyfriend before we went to the Turkey Bash Demolition Derby. So, I sort of finished off the macadamia nuts I had in the fridge
D: Cozumel Island Salad with Citrus Vinegrette from Joe Taco. I did sneak in about 5 corn chips.
Drinks: Water, unsweetened iced tea, and some Starbucks hot cinnamon tea
Exercise: Crossfit Death by Pull ups and Thrusters. I took Roxy out for about a 2 mile walk down Old Soncy Trail. She was pretty worn out by the time we got home, poor pooch.
B: Leftover Swirly Zucchini Quiche and some homemade sausage
L: Salad bar and a side of smoked Turkey from Jason's Deli
S: Kind Fruit and Nut bar
D: Mom's Parm chicken, smashed taters, and some broccoli. I did have some of her homemade gluten free chocolate chocolate chip cookies. Like about 8 of them. They are super thin, but super freaking good. Plus I ate some of those Nut Thin things. I think about 5 of them.
Drinks: Sweetened Tea, then unsweetened tea, and water.
No exercise. I overslept today because I forgot to set my alarm so I was late getting to church.

World of Music art show starts Friday
For one week each year, music becomes a visual medium, in addition to an aural one, with "Music Meets Art" at World of Music.
It has, at least, since 2013, when the landmark Erie music store -- in business for nearly 60 years -- held its first such event. It was so successful the second show opens Friday with a reception.
As of earlier this week, more than 100 pieces had been submitted, reported Amanda Karns, director of marketing and special events for World of Music and coordinator of the exhibit.
"I'm thrilled with the works that have come in," she said excitedly. "The quality is so high, and we're definitely going to be bigger than last year. We may have to spread out more into the store, but I don't even care!"
Pieces in a variety of media will be on display, and many of them will be for sale with 100 percent of the profits going to the artists -- unless they choose to donate a portion to the beneficiary this year, the A.N.N.A. Shelter. Entry fees benefit the shelter, a cause Karns says "is a favorite of all of ours here at World of Music ... they're in our hearts and minds."
Among the entries is a piece created by one of the Erie Zoo's giraffes. Thirty paper guitars, painted and embellished with sparkles and glitter, were created by Rachel Berlin's fourth-grade students at Wattsburg Elementary Center. Rather than charge each student the $10 entry fee, Karns suggested they bring in a small donation to the A.N.N.A. Shelter. The students responded with a big basket of goodies for the animals. Similarly, Diana Konkol submitted 20 pieces of ceramics and brought in a large selection of items from her horse farm to be donated to the A.N.N.A. equine program.
Friday's opening party includes music by Zack Orr and hors d'oeuvres from La Bella. On Friday and Saturday, visitors to the store and to the World of Music Facebook page can vote for their favorite artworks in three categories (kids 12 and younger, teens 13-17, and adults). Winners will receive blue ribbons and $100 World of Music gift cards. Student artists younger than 18 will be given participation ribbons.

Man dies after Nagawicka Lake dive
Authorities say Steven LaLonde pronounced dead at hospital
Several fire departments responded to Nagawicka Lake late Saturday morning after receiving a report of a scuba diver in distress under ice, according to a news release.
Diver Steven G. LaLonde, 32, had been found by other divers in his group and removed from the water, the release indicated. Authorities said the diver was not breathing, so a member of the group started CPR.
Authorities took LaLonde to an area hospital, according to the release, where he was pronounced dead. The release indicates LaLonde was an experienced diver.
The investigation is ongoing, according to the release, but authorities said initial indications point to a possible equipment issue.

Clothed in Integrity
Weaving Just Cultural Relations and the Garment Industry
Studies in Women and Religion Series
Paper 386 pp.
Release Date:
Online discount: 25%
$48.99 $36.74
Barbara Paleczny, herself a daughter of garment workers, tugs at the threads of homeworking in the garment industry to reveal a low-wage strategy that rends the fabric of social integrity and exposes global trends. The resurgence of sweatshops affects the working poor in both first- and third-world countries.
Paleczny assesses the responsibility of transnational retailers for unacceptable wages and working conditions and describes historic shifts in the global context of garment production. After exploring systemic causes of poverty, relevant policy setting, and ethical foundations, Paleczny introduces both short- and long-range possibilities for transformation, emphasizing the collaborative nature of work.
Clothed in Integrity draws on feminist studies, alternative economics, and the ethical foundations proposed by Bernard Lonergan to fashion a constructive work in which Paleczny connects issues of societal meanings and values, moral imperatives, and economic feasibility. With candour, she shares personal stories of engagement in coalition work. Those who dwell on this text will find information, challenges, and inspiration to nurture their reflection, research, dialogue, and action.
Barbara Paleczny is coordinator for Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation for the School Sisters of Notre Dame (Dallas province) and an activist in roganizations concerned with social justice.

Phase I archaeological survey is being conducted at the Cockayne property, which also includes a survey of the Cockayne Mound. This service is being donated by Archaeological Consultants of the Midwest, Inc. In addition to the archaeological survey, the firm has begun identification and curation of the Cockayne House contents, again donating their services for that massive undertaking.
The Cockayne property, willed to the City of Glen Dale and leased to the Marshall County Historical Society, includes many artifacts and Cockayne family memorabilia. The Historic Preservation Office of the West Virginia Division of Culture and History has long recommended curation of the contents, which includes identifying, photographing, tagging and logging each item into a table for easy location/access. While the Society has recognized the benefits of the curation process, it has concentrated on other aspects of the Cockayne preservation efforts.
As for the archaeological survey, the Society has entered into an Option Agreement with Joe K. Blair, owner of the Mound. It is our hope to reunite the Mound with the Cockayne Farm, which would greatly enhance the value of the project.
Archaeological Consultants of the Midwest, Inc. maintains an office in Wheeling as well as Indianapolis. The firm specializes in all phases of archaeology as well as artifact analysis, curation and interpretation. The firm is very active with historic research and preservation as well. All of these disciplines are completed according to federal and state regulations.
Archaeological Consultants' involvement at the Cockayne Farm will be divided into three projects:
A Phase I archaeological survey of the house lot and surrounding lots to determine the absence/presence of prehistoric and historic in situ remains. The West Virginia Division of Culture and History has recommended the survey be completed on the Cockayne Property as well as the Cockayne Mound. Permission from the City of Glen Dale and Joe Blair, owner of the Mound, have been obtained and a permit has been approved for this work to proceed.
With respect to the Cockayne Mound (46Mr26), minimal testing will be completed to determine if possible, its origins, as well as the amount of disturbance that may have occurred since it was first discovered in the 1700's.
Also, each item within the Cockayne House will be identified, tagged, and photographed. A detailed artifact log and photo-log will be produced to include every item that was discovered within the house as it stands today. An attempt will also be made to curate and protect as many of these items as possible. In addition, all papers within the house will be categorized and stored for protection and future examination. These papers will aid in the compilation of a more complete history of the Cockayne Farm and Family.
At the conclusion of these three projects, Archaeological Consultants of the Midwest will join with the Marshall County Historical Society and its Cockayne Committee to achieve an important goal of combining the Cockayne family history and the prehistoric component of the property into one complete history.
Some of the key personnel involved with this project include Jamie Vosvick (supervising archaeologist) Neal Warren (photography specialist) Emma Vosvick (historic research and archives) and Kimberly and Christopher Jackson (owner/president of Archaeological Consultants of the Midwest). The Marshall County Historical Society is extremely grateful for the aid and assistance volunteered by these professionals.

This means AVG if out of my recommended products until they change this policy. If you want honest anti-malware protection contact ECC for my recommendations. if you are a current client and using AVg or avast contact ECC before you contact this vendor.
A call to the support number listed on Avast's site put me through to a technician named Kishore Chinni; I told Mr. Chinni that I had just installed a copy of Avast, but that I couldn't be certain it was updating correctly. He asked for a phone number and an email address, and then said the first thing he needed to do was take remote control over my system. He directed me to use Internet Explorer to visit a Web site that requested permission to install two ActiveX add-ons. Those add-ons installed a remote control client called Bogmar Support.
Chinni asked if I had previously installed any antivirus software, and I said I wasn't sure (I hadn't). He then fired up the Windows Registry Editor (regedit), poked around some entries, and then opened up the Windows System Configuration Utility (msconfig) and the Windows Event Viewer. Chinni somberly read aloud a few of the entries in the event viewer marked with yellow exclamation points, saying they were signs that my computer could have a problem. He then switched over to the "services" panel of the system configuration tool and noted that the "manufacturer" listing next to avast! antivirus read "unknown."
"When it says unknown like that, these are warnings that there could be an infection running on the computer," Chinni explained. He proceeded to install an iYogi "tune up" tool called PCDiagnostics, which tool about 60 seconds to complete a scan of my system. The results showed that my brand new installation of Windows had earned a 73% score, and that it had to detected 17 registry errors and a problem with Windows Update (this was unlikely, as I had already enabled Windows Update and Automatic Updates before I made the support call, and had installed all available security patches). Chinni explained that the "antispyware" warning generated by the PCDiagnostics scan was an indication that a previously installed security software program had not been cleanly removed and was probably causing problems with my computer.
He said another technician could help me with these problems if I wanted. When I inquired whether it would be free, Chinni told me that the company sells support packages for one- to three-year durations, and that the starting price for a support package was $169.99…..
Unfortunately, Avast is not the only security and antivirus firm that has outsourced its support to this company. iYogi also is the support service for AVG, probably Avast's closest competitor.

Shop the full St Tropez range here!
Achieving a fake tan flawlessly is trickier than it may appear. Extra steps taken pre-treatment can greatly improve the way a spray-on tan rests upon the skin. Remember those annoying dark patches that appear on knees and elbows? If you were to exfoliate prior to self tanning and apply a dab of moisturizer afterwards to those areas where we tend to get a buildup of dry skin then chances are lessened that color will cling to those areas and darken. These kind of tips were the subject in Allure magazine's feature on getting a flawless professional spray tan.
For those who want to forego a salon visit, there are many great at home products to choose from like St Tropez Everyday Gradual Tan Mousse. The leader in sunless tanning, St Tropez's Mousse glides on effortlessly and conditions the skin with aloe vera while providing a natural gorgeous bronze. No need to worry about the horrible smell that typically comes with sunless tanning because of their trademarked Aromaguard technology that eliminates smell by 70% and instead gives a refreshing and subtle fragrance. Hope these tips help you achieve the most effective and beautiful sunless tan all year round!

Dionte Christmas and other former college ballers from schools in Philly & DC took part in a unique type of hoops event this past weekend. The B.A.L.L. hoops showcase featured some of Philly's best against a squad of elite hoopers from DC. Saturday's game was played at the Charles Smith center in the District, while Sunday's contest was at Hagan Arena in Philly. DC won both nights, sweeping the weekend showcase. Christmas dropped 12 points in Saturday's 113-93 defeat, and scored 14 in Sunday's 102-94 loss.
B.A.L.L. , or the "Basketball Alumni Legends League", was founded by Stanford grad Michael Wranovics, who's also known for directing the popular baseball film, "Up For Grabs". In an interview with Bleacher Report, Wranovics says his league targets star college basketball players, right now primarily from the East coast, who were not drafted into the NBA. He hopes his league will give fans a chance to watch their college favorites in the same market, while giving the players a chance to showcase their talents.
The B.A.L.L. has some very different rules. For example, when a player is fouled in the act of shooting, there is one free-throw worth 2 points. There are 4-pointers-yes, 4-point shots. The "four-point line" is approx. 25 feet from the rim, or about 1′ 3″ farther than the NBA's 3-point line. You can check out all of the official rules here.
It's widely known that many pro ballers that do not get drafted or signed by an NBA team travel overseas for opportunities. Dionte Christmas is one of those players. Before being signed to a non-guaranteed deal with the C's last month, Dionte spent the last 3 years playing in Greece, Israel and the Czech Republic. He told PhilaHoops.com's Teddy Bailey that playing overseas is "lonely" and that "it's easy to give up". Hopefully the B.A.L.L. will give some players a chance to stay in the states, and still get some exposure/experience. Read all of Teddy's chat w/Christmas at PhilaHoops.
Big thanks to B.A.L.L. and PhilaHoops for the pictures & info used in this post.

"Every other development I lived in had one," she said.
So she found a simple fix: organize one.
Warner said about 75 kids, family members and friends marched in the parade, which stepped off at noon July 4, including her own - Charlotte and Cooper Schimpff, 5 and 6, respectively.
The development's swim team, made up of members over 5 years old, also participated in the parade.
The parade came before the city of Strongsville prepares for what's promised to be a "huge" fireworks display at dusk July 4 at the soccer fields on Foltz Industrial Parkway.
"It gets kids feeling like it's the 4th of July," Warner said. "Especially since it's on a Wednesday this year."

How Do Laffer Curves Differ Across Countries?
Mathias Trabandt
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; Sveriges Riksbank
Harald Uhlig
University of Chicago - Department of Economics
February 14, 2012
Becker Friedman Institute for Research in Economics Working Paper No. 2012-001
We seek to understand how Laffer curves differ across countries in the US and the EU-14, thereby providing insights into fiscal limits for government spending and the service of sovereign debt. As an application, we analyze the consequences for the permanent sustainability of current debt levels, when interest rates are permanently increased e.g. due to default fears. We build on the analysis in Trabandt-Uhlig (2011) and extend it in several ways. To obtain a better fit to the data, we allow for monopolistic competition as well as partial taxation of pure profit income. We update the sample to 2010, thereby including recent increases in government spending and their fiscal consequences. We provide new tax rate data. We conduct an analysis for the pessimistic case that the recent fiscal shifts are permanent. We include a cross-country analysis on consumption taxes as well as a more detailed investigation of the inclusion of human capital considerations for labor taxation.

Tania Kernaghan
Tania Kernaghan is a uniquely Australian woman with a lot of heart, determination and strength. She's proud of who she is and where she's from. Tania Kernaghan is simply "the real deal".
In 1993 Tania caught the attention of ABC Country and released her first single, "I'll Be Gone", which was co-written by her younger sister Fiona and featured Keith Urban on guitar. She officially signed with ABC Country in 1995 and in January 1996 delivered the triumphant debut, "December Moon". The album went platinum, spawned a massive six hit singles and earned Tania three Golden Guitars. "December Moon" is one of the most successful country debut albums ever released in Australia and continues to sell strongly even over a decade later.
The follow up, "Dancing On Water", arrived in 1999 and included the Top 5 hits "Dunroamin Station" and "When I Ride". "Big Sky Country" was released in 2001 featuring "Steal Away" and "Goin' Bush" while her fourth album, "Higher Ground", landed in 2005 featuring the revved up "Harley McTaggart" and the #1 hit "Life Don't Get Much Better Than This" which stayed at the top spot for 4 weeks.
Tania released her 5th studio album, "Livin' The Dream" in February 2009. Recorded between Nashville and QLD's Gold Coast - the album boasts a who's who of the best musicians in the world along with world class songs and impeccably produced by Tania's brother in law, Daniel Kresco (Reba McEntire/Garth Brooks/Trisha Yearwood). The album features the hits "Second Time Around", "Dad's Not Gonna Like It" and the duet with her father, Ray Kernaghan, "We're A Lot Like Each Other".
Tania made her big screen film debut during 2009 in the Australian movie, "Shadows of The Past". Shot on location in the QLD country town of Warrick, it tells the story of a successful rodeo rider who gives it away after a serious rodeo accident only to defy all odds to come back stronger. Tania plays the role of Sally and stars alongside Mark Lee (Gallipoli). Her song, "The Price You Pay", also features in the movie.
Tania brought her outgoing and fun personality to television via Channel 7's "Queenslander Weekender" as co-host in 2004 and 2005 and also in their top rating "Outback Specials". In February 2007, she commenced as co-host of "Discover Downunder" alongside the legendary Paul Cronin (The Sullivans) on the Nine Network. In 2010 Tania heads off to discover some of Australia's most beautiful tourist destinations with the new lifestyle television program, "What's Up Down Under", which screens on the 7 Network and it's affiliate stations around the country.
Besides music and on screen work, in 1999 Tania accepted the honour of becoming Vice Patron to the Riding For Disabled Association (a title shared by Princess Ann in the UK). RDA adopted Tania's award winning song, "When I Ride", as their national theme song. She has also been an Australia Day Ambassador, People's Choice Award recipient for Female Vocalist in 2000 and 2006 and was the first female performer to be inducted into the Galaxy of Stars Country Music Walk of Fame in Tamworth in 2005. Tania is also an Ambassador for the all new Toyota Prado. She loves nothing more than jumping into her beloved Prado and heading off-road and goin' bush to do some 4WDing … Oh! What A Feeling!
It's no secret that Tania Kernaghan is one of Australia's most successful and instantly recognizable artists in Country Music. Her record sales are in the hundreds of thousands and chart success that is matched by her reputation as one of Australia's best live acts. From Broome to Bourke, Darwin to Devonport and from Coober Pedy to Cairns – Tania Kernaghan's career continues to build from strength to strength and the fans just can't get enough of this all Australian country girl.

In Reply.—
The last paragraph of the letter in criticism of my article raises directly the problem I am concerned with. The very nature of rationing and allocation decisions is that they must be made for the collective good of society as a whole, not simply for the individuals involved. Our projected costs for health care for the elderly in the years ahead are simply astronomical, well beyond any reasonable capacity to pay for them. The idea that we can deal with those problems by having individual physicians, patients, and families make decisions about allocation makes no sense in the long run. What is good for individuals and families is not necessarily good for society as a whole. That is the painful truth of the matter when we must make rationing decisions. The fundamental question, then, is how we can assure the elderly of decent care up to a reasonably

Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu was perfect Monday until a Jersey boy finally got to him.
Reds third baseman Todd Frazier ended Ryu's perfect-game bid with an eighth-inning leadoff double to left field at Dodgers Stadium.
If Ryu had succeeded, it would have happened a day after his teammate, Josh Beckett, threw a no-hitter.
Frazier is having a good year with the Reds, entering Monday with nine homers, 27 RBI and a .264 batting average.
But he's best known as having carried Toms River East to a Little League World Series title in 1998.

While man is probably highly resistant to extraneural infection by the rabies virus, each year records the death of several persons after sustaining a wound inflicted by a rabid animal. While the infliction of the wound usually precedes the clinical signs of infection by a sufficiently long interval to institute prophylaxis, the recent report of Constantine1 raises the specter that mammals may become infected without the association of trauma. Moreover, prevention of the disease by conventional methods has failed sufficiently often to indicate the desirability of increasing the efficacy of available vaccines. Most of the vaccines currently in use in man contain mammalian nervous tissue which apparently has the potential of tissue-specific sensitization which is presumably the cause of demyelinating incidents in a small but frightening per cent of subjects who submit to the conventional Pasteur prophylaxis of rabies. Consequently, it seems desirable to develop vaccines which contain no

Album Review
Even in the vibrant early-'90s hip-hop scene,
A Future Without a Past...
emerged as a breath of fresh air, simultaneously presenting a throwback to the old-school rhyme tradeoffs and call-and-response rapping styles of crews like the Furious Five and the Funky Four + One, and vaulting rap headlong into its future. Brash and full of youthful energy and exuberance,
Leaders of the New School
was the perfect meshing of three distinctly different but entirely complementary personalities whose flows flew in the face of conventional MC etiquette, from
Dinco D.
's straightforward, intellectual tongue-twisting to Charlie Brown's zany shrieks to
Busta Rhymes
' viscous, reggae-inspired toasting -- skirting the line between seriousness and humor -- which, only a few years later, would help him to hit commercial pay dirt as a solo artist. That's not even to mention the DJ and sometime reggae-tinged emcee, DJ
Cut Monitor Milo
. The result is one of the most infectious rap albums ever created. The songs are, first and foremost, meant to be fun and humorous, and they are certainly that, particularly on Charlie Brown's nonsensical "What's the Pinocchio's Theory," the insistent "Trains, Planes and Automobiles" and "My Ding-A-Ling," and
Busta Rhymes
' jovial ode to full-figured women, "Feminine Fatt." The cut-and-paste production is expert throughout, packed with fresh samples, thanks to Bomb Squad member
Eric "Vietnam" Sadler
, the Stimulated Dummies crew, and the Vibe Chemist Backspin, and the group also show themselves to be quite capable with a sampler, particularly Milo's incredible work on "Case of the P.T.A." and "My Ding-A-Ling." But it would be wrong to simply peg this album as a foray into kinder, gentler, more lighthearted and innocent hip-hop. Firstly, the album has the feel and scope of a loose concept album and is separated into three sections, the first two set in school, the final one following the members after school lets out, and that alone points to a group of young men -- mostly still teenagers -- trying to move rap into new dimensions. Secondly, the ambience of New York permeates
A Future Without a Past
, but it is simply presented from a younger and far less jaded perspective. Songs such as "Just When You Thought It Was Safe" and "Sound of the Zeekers @#^**?!," if not exactly hard-edged and political, offer far more than throwaway sentiment, and lyrically L.O.N.S. never descend into naiveté. The album portrays a group of young men who are fully emerged in the sometimes less-than-innocent urban life that characterizes hip-hop culture, but are also able to transcend the inherent limits and pitfalls to which that life can lead. In that sense, it is a celebration of all the best aspects of hip-hop culture and youth.

on December 13, 2012 - 6:22 AM
The Bills acquired Jackson a week before the season to be the backup quarterback. He threw one pass in the final preseason game and hasn't been heard from since. Jackson simply can't be trusted to run Chan Gailey's offense. Hasn't had enough of those "reps."
So he must be dumb, right?
"I don't care," Jackson said with a laugh. "I know that's not the problem. You can ask any coach I ever played for. I don't have a problem learning the offense. That's never been a problem."
That's how it looks to the outside world, though. Jackson's intelligence might not be the problem. But his own coach – who hasn't exactly been the smartest guy in the room lately – is making it look that way.
"Well, I'm just going to be quiet," Jackson said. "I don't know what to say. I'm just going to leave it at that."
Jackson said this has been the most frustrating season of his career. The Bills are paying him $1.75 million this season to be the third-string QB, to carry a clipboard. This Sunday in Toronto, he'll almost surely be inactive against his former team, the Seahawks.
Early in September, he looked ahead to meeting his old team, and perhaps a chance to prove himself on the field. Instead, he'll have to be content with offering the coaches his insights on the Seattle players.
"Not scheme, but more personnel and what he feels about their guys and strengths and weaknesses," Gailey said Wednesday.
Why would Gailey ask Jackson about the Seahawks' schemes when he can't trust him to execute his own? You can spin it any way you like. Jackson, who was good enough to start for Seattle and win seven games last year, couldn't master Gailey's intricate offense in three months.
Gailey's explanation hasn't changed since September. The old professor has imparted his wisdom. The seven-year veteran hasn't had a chance to master it.
"He knows what's going on," Gailey said. "There's just no opportunity during the course of the season to get a guy reps doing things with the speed of the game. You can go out there and let him throw individual routes and things like that but just the speed of the game in a new offense is very, very difficult."
This is what happens when coaches get wrapped up in their own mythology. They talk about countless hours spent in the office, breaking down game film, searching for that tiny edge. They want people to feel they're in the grip of some profound football intelligence, beyond the ken of mere mortals.
But it hasn't seemed that way on recent Sundays, has it? Really, how smart must a quarterback be to run Gailey's stuff? How hard is it to hand off in this offense, or to be more specific, to concede that seven rushes a game is enough for C.J. Spiller?
Jackson isn't exactly Drew Brees. But he threw for 3,091 yards for Seattle last season. His rating for the season was 79.2. Ryan Fitzpatrick's was 79.1. Jackson's yards per pass was 6.87. Fitz's was 6.74. How many reps does Fitzpatrick need before the Bills realize he's not the answer?
I'm not pushing for Jackson to unseat Fitz. Seattle coach Pete Carroll had great things to say about Jackson on Wednesday. But he wanted an upgrade at QB so he traded for Matt Flynn and drafted Russell Wilson, who has been a revelation as a rookie.
But come on. Jackson can't get a sniff of the Bills' backup job in practice? He can't get those precious second-team "reps," so they can find out what he can do? Why did they bring him to Buffalo in the first place if they didn't intend to give him a chance?
It's enough to make you think the Bills don't want anyone who might threaten Fitzpatrick's job security (Vince Young, for example). When a team is struggling, they say the backup quarterback is the most popular guy in town. No one is clamoring for Tyler Thigpen, though.
Gailey, borrowing a page from Wade Phillips, said Monday that the Bills were out of the playoff race. He revisited the gaffe later, but they're essentially done. They might as well elevate Jackson to second team, give him those backup reps, and put him in a game at some point.
Darrell Bevell was Jackson's offensive coordinator at Minnesota and followed him to the Seahawks last season. Jackson said it was an advantage, having experience in Bevell's rhythm offense.
"Being in the offense for six years, compared to three or four months, is a big difference," Jackson said, "but for the most part I feel I've got the grasp of the offense. I didn't really know what to expect. I was just told to come and learn the offense as fast as possible. That was pretty much it."
Evidently, it wasn't fast enough. There are so many complexities, so many mind-bending choices: Should I throw this 3-yard flat pass to Donald or Stevie? Gailey was flummoxed when Phillips put eight men in the box in Houston. Who's the dumb one here?
So Jackson will do what he's done for three months Sunday in the Rogers Centre. He'll be holding a clipboard.
"If they need my help, I'll be there," Jackson said. "But I'm not going to interfere with those guys unless they ask me. So I'm just going to stand there like I usually do, chart the plays, and that's it."
Jackson will be a free agent after the season. Gailey wouldn't rule out bringing him back. I'm guessing Jackson has other plans. The smart ones, after all, are generally the ones who get out of town.

What about the BIOS settings. There's often an option to override the

Service scheduled for roll-out early summer
In late February, BioWare opened the Oceanic servers. With the expansion, free character transfers were announced. But this left one question unanswered, "When will character transfers become available to everyone?"
In last week's developer Q&A, SWTOR forum user Arymono asked this question of the developers and Dallas Dickonson (Senior Producer of Live Services) chimed in on the subject:
We will be rolling out our Character Transfer Service in early summer. First well have some targeted free transfers from/to specific servers, but that will be followed with a broader system where you can either take advantage of free promotional transfers to specific servers or paid transfers to the server of your choice. We know everyone has more questions about character transfer, and well reveal more details closer to the launch date.
Dicksonson also mentioned in the same Q&A that this service will also address low server populations. When the new service rolls out, players on select servers will have the opportunity to transfer from high- and low-density population servers.
We will bring you further announcements and updates as they become available.
Origin, retailers will sell game to expanded clientele
Early this morning, BioWare announced that starting today, the epic saga of Star Wars:The Old Republic will expand into Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
Two versions of the game will be available, a Standard Edition and Digital Deluxe Edition. The Digital Deluxe Edition will come with some unique in-game items and will be exclusively available from Origin.
Those who have already purchased a physical copy wont be left out though. BioWare has made a Digital Upgrade package available for purchase from Origin where available.
The Standard Edition will also be available at select retailers in most of the countries.
All editions include 30 days of game time and will have the option of one, three and six month recurring subscriptions.
Below is the list of the countries included in the expansion:
Middle East
More information about the expansion is available at the Additional EU and Middle Eastern Launch FAQ page on the SWTOR website.
We will keep you up-to-date with any announcements or statements from BioWare as they become available.
A new Skill tree calculator is now available to let you try out new builds. It works exactly like in the game with few nifty features:

You know how some projects just don't go as planned? Take my mulch pile, which arrived this year as a gift for my birthday. That was in April, a prime time to be spreading mulch.
As things were hectic, I couldn't touch it in April. In fact, I couldn't do anything but watch the weeds grow as I alternately labored over intense work projects or attended my son's baseball games while juggling volunteer duties.
May and June passed in a similar fashion. I managed to weed my garden in there somewhere, but the mulch stayed in a less-than-eye-pleasing heap on the front walk.
I should probably back up and confess I am no gardener. I'd love to have one of those lush, breathtaking displays I see in other yards, but I haven't a clue how to achieve that unless I pay someone else the big bucks.
I had a fairly successful vegetable garden going for many years, but eventually replaced it with a flowerbed, and have watched many plants thrive or die in the course of a dozen or so years.
While gardening is clearly not an innate talent with me, I do the best I can, trying new plants occasionally or just sticking to the basics. I do try to keep it tidy and layer on mulch annually, which makes it look nice and discourages weeds.
I admit I felt a tad guilty - even distraught - about the sight of the mulch pile there on my front walk as the summer months passed.
I had one excuse after another why I continually put off the project. I don't recall languishing about poolside or eating bonbons on the sofa while I watched some brainless reality show. Clearly, I was still experiencing a more hectic-than-usual schedule.
Then fall arrived, and the leaves began to drift off the trees, and I knew I'd missed the window for sure. No one spreads mulch in the fall, do they? Unless they're gardening obsessed?
I quickly did some research. Some means not much. But as it turns out, spreading your mulch in the fall is a fine idea.
I couldn't possibly tackle the mulch project until all the leaves fell, as I would only be scraping up my new mulch when I raked the flowerbeds otherwise.
So I raked. And waited. And I raked, and waited. And I raked and waited some more.
December dawned, and the leaves still aren't completely off the tree branches, or my neighbor's (which will end up in my flower bed and lawn), but I raked again anyway.
Then my husband made mention about the mulch pile, mumbling something about how I could have taken time to deal with the project sooner. And was I planning on doing anything about it now?
In my head, I grumbled right back, making a list of projects he hasn't finished either ... in years, no less, not just a couple of seasons. But of course, he was right.
I mustered my mental strength, rallied my inner gardener and raked one more time - the rest of the hangers-on be damned - and then tackled the mulch pile.
A word of advice to non-gardeners out there: Don't save a spring mulch pile for December. By then, two distinct phenomena will have occurred.
First, the pile will have sprouted roots, and taken hold of the ground and other areas of the mulch, making it nearly impossible to scoop up with a pitchfork. Instead, you will wrestle with it like a live alligator, plus throw your back out in the process as a bonus.
Second, the squirrels will have mistakenly believed your mulch pile is for storing nuts, and this may add to your list of chores if you have to ferret out the nuts they've buried. In my case, I didn't care. Maybe I'll be growing a chestnut tree next year as a result.
I did luck out by getting a spring day in December as the temperatures soared to 70 degrees. Even in shorts, wrangling mulch left me sweating from head to toe and probably took twice as long as it would have in April.
But it's done now, and of course, the yard looks fantastic - better than it has all year - and just in time for winter, when the weeds finally die, the perennials wither away and shore up strength underground, and everything gets blanketed with the occasional snow so you can't see how disastrous it is otherwise. Perfect.
