Yolanda Cookson, of Grass Valley, has now achieved everything she really wanted.
"My goals were to get elected to the City Council, then to start a family," said Cookson. She became the youngest woman ever to serve on the council when elected in 2008.
Her second goal was fulfilled Feb. 21, when Carl Ryszard Cookson was born - six weeks early. On Monday, after 49 days in neonatal intensive care at Sutter Roseville Medical Center, little Carl weighed 6 pounds, 2 ounces.
He can't come home yet - his little heart sometimes beats too slow, and doctors are waiting for that condition to pass - but already, his life's journey has been what Mom calls "incredible," starting before he was born.
"I have really high blood pressure. My dad has it. So we knew" this would be a high-risk pregnancy, Cookson said. "We just didn't understand what that necessarily meant."
For Cookson, it meant frequent monitoring and occasional emergency trips to the hospital. High blood pressure in Mom means not enough blood gets through the placenta to Baby, she explained.
"The baby would show signs of stress," Cookson added.
At one point back in February, Cookson's blood pressure went "out of control" and she was hospitalized, she said. The baby was monitored for stress, and, "instead of sounding like a galloping horse, his heart would slow down so much that the nurses would run into the room" to see what might be wrong.
A cesarean section was scheduled, and little Carl was born.
Mom saw little Carl, but wasn't allowed to hold him, as he was whisked into the neonatal intensive care. He was what the nurses call a "grower-feeder," and as hospital designations go, it's a good one.
"They immediately put him on a machine to make sure he was breathing," Cookson said. "At midnight that night ... they put me with my gurney in the ICU so I could be with him, so I knew he was OK."
The nurses also tried to recreate the cozy space Carl was taken from by surrounding him with blankets, Cookson said.
As is common among preemies, Carl had jaundice - elevated levels of bilirubin. (That's a brownish-yellow substance found in bile and produced when the liver breaks down old red blood cells. In the case of gestating babies, the placenta sometimes is not able to eliminate wastes fast enough, causing the yellowish appearance of the baby's skin and eyes.)
"The next day, they finally put him on me, skin to skin," Cookson said. "I just bawled my eyes out."
At that moment, the baby looked up at her. "He totally knew my voice," Cookson said. "I thought, that was crazy. Holy cow!"
Little Carl slept in an incubator with a blue light over him to cure the jaundice.
"It was like a blue bubble," Cookson recalled. "They put these weird, gauzy sunglasses on his eyes."
After a few days in the incubator, little Carl was well enough that he could be placed in a bassinet.
All of a sudden, "he was like a real little baby, and you could pick up whenever you want him," Cookson said with delight.
Dad, Carl William Cookson, has become "the ultimate diaper changer," in addition to providing meals, refinishing and assembling a family heritage crib, doing laundry and holding down the fort, his wife said. Yolanda Cookson has been granted a leave of absence from her City Council duties in the meantime, though she expected to attend tonight's meeting.
(The Cookson family tradition is for the first son to be named Carl, with the middle name taken from the mother's father. In this case, Ryszard is Polish for Richard, after Yolanda Cookson's immigrant father. Carl Ryszard is the fifth in the line.)
Mom and Dad have looked forward to little successes, such as getting their son out of the incubator, breathing on his own, getting rid of the feeding tube, learning to suckle and gaining weight - things most parents of full-term babies take for granted.
She doesn't ask when Carl Ryszard can come home. "We don't want to get our hopes up," Cookson said.
Like many preemies, little Carl also has bradycardial spells, when his heart beats too slow. To be allowed to go home, he needs to pass five to seven days without a spell, Cookson said.
A little harness and a foam wedge that help the babe lay at an angle has helped, and Monday was day two after the most recent episode, Mom added.
So she spends her days at the hospital, getting to know her son and loving him along.
"He has a funny, little-old-man personality," Cookson said. "We knew he was going to be a stinker."

A little advice from me to you (and by you I mean the woman on the Yellow Line this morning): Just because it's tank top season doesn't mean it's OK to wait until you're on the train to aggressively apply deoderant. Waiting until you're on the train is just gross.
Thank you.
(Excuse from blogger for slowness today: Got pulled in on a story.)

"Pinnacle Bank has gone beyond our expectations in meeting the needs of our business. Their modern banking products and their prompt personal service have made banking with Pinnacle an absolute pleasure. In my opinion, no one could do a better job."
"We opened our trust account many years ago with SunTrust Bank. Our "trust" in SunTrust slipped and disappeared and Charlotte Csabi, our previous advisor, had moved to Pinnacle. So we sought out Charlotte and Pinnacle. Together they have secured our assets and have continued to earn our trust."
"We changed our main banking relationship to Pinnacle Financial Partners; a new local bank offering increased benefits and services. We chose them because they are on the cutting edge of banking technology, provide exceptional customer service and mirror our goals and values."
"In less than six years we turned the corner on our agency. We could not have done it without Pinnacle. Thank you so much for trusting us and investing in us. I'll never forget it."
"I want to thank the wonderful employees at Pinnacle's Carothers Parkway office. Recently I called them regarding an online bill payment vendor error, and they went over and above the call of duty to help me. Everyone is so nice and helpful, and the tellers are always so pleasant. We just love your bank. Thank you so much for your fabulous service!"

Because, Apparently, We've Run out of Needy Children in This City (and Country)...
Tomorrow, you'll have an opportunity to help out a lot of poor, needy folk by exercising your democratic rights as an American. No, I'm not talking about supporting those poor, needy mayoral candidates. I'm talking about exercising your democratic right to laugh your ass off on behalf of some orphans.
Since everybody knows it's no fun to give money to charity and get nothing in return, the folks at a Sri Lankan orphanage called the Fridsro Project have organized a night of hilarity benefitting the kiddos featuring four of the very best comics in town. You'll know Kirk Smith from the Backdoor Comedy club, Aaron Aryunpur and Mark Agee from the Addison Improv and Hyena's, and Paul Varghese from season two of Last Comic Standing. Paul's also making his national television debut this summer on Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, so you'll want to check him out live before he blows up (no, Paul, that's not a joke about your being brown.)
The show's at the MAC, and tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Do it for the kids.--Andrea Grimes

Willa Cather was an exceptionally private person, who believed that a writer's life was irrelevant to an understanding of the work. She destroyed personal letters and manuscript drafts in her possession, refused increasingly to give interviews, and her will forbade the publication of her correspondence. Cather was equally adamant that literature should not be ideologically motivated or raided for its sociological content: "An artist should have no moral purpose in mind other than just his art" (Cather, 1966, 406). Nonetheless, the two major currents in Cather criticism have been political and biographical. She was claimed by Christian conservatives in the 1930s and after her death by lesbian feminists in the 1990s. As these …

Ethiopia climb to 93rd in Fifa world ranking, ties with El Salvador
nazret.com - Ethiopia has climbed 9 points to rank 93rd in the latest FIFA rankings released today, sharing the spot with the Central American nation of El Salvador. Ethiopia is now ranked 25th in Africa behind Congo and ahead of Equatorial Guinea. The top team in Africa remains Côte d'Ivoire followed by Ghana, Algeria, Nigeria and Mali. In the World ranking, Spain is ranked first followed by Argentina, Germany, Italy and Colombia.
Ethiopia defeated Central African Republic 2-1 last Saturday in the World Cup Qualifications, finishing first in Group A. It has secured a place in the third and final round as one of the ten teams fighting for a place in World Cup 2014. It is now just two games away to qualify for the world Cup for the first time in its history.
The 10 teams who qualified to the final round of World Cup Qualifications from Africa. Ranking as of Sep 12, 2013
- Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) 19
- Ghana 24
- Algeria 28
- Nigeria 36
- Tunisia* 46
- Egypt 50
- Burkina Faso 51
- Cameroon 61
- Senegal 66
- Ethiopia 93
*FIFA sanctioned Cape Verde for fielding an ineligible player against Tunisia in the last World Cup qualifications and FIFA awarded 3 points to Tunisia which will move on to final round while Cape Verde is out.

How sad is the fate of cape Verde to lose their spot just for that same stupid mistake, fielding ineligible player, which could have been the demise of our own waliyas.
Way to go Waliyas!
I'm sure this new ranking will have a great effect pumping our payers' moral high. That's a great recognition.
That is a very good improvement for our team. Congrats for the players and for all supporters who accomplishes this.,.. am kinda feeling bad for cape verde that they face the same consequence but cant came out it as we did…
I am obviously very pleased with the improvement of our ranking by 9 spots and very proud with the direction our football is taking. For me, this is truly living the dream.
But one must feel sad for the shocked heartbroken and inconsolable people of Cape Verde who have had their dream ripped away from them. Just wondering if the EFF bosses had an internship in Cape Verde that caused this disaster? Now they are even questioning the Congo Niger game. If FIFA finds that Niger fielded an illegal player, then Burkina Faso might be eliminated. What are all these useless federation officials across Africa doing!?
I really wished we could meet Egypt in the final round. Deliver a blow by breaking their hearts and wounding their national identity. But that wont happen now. Let's hope we can
draw Algeria or Tunisia.
Etiopia 93rd ? hmm. this is definitely woyane propaganda to divert the boiling tension.
According to FIFA world ranking,our neighbor Eritrea ranked 195th out of 207 countries.
Breaking News:
Following its hallmark backward, obsolete and long gimgema, the Woyane-infested FBF of Ethiopia has finally named Addis Gomen as both the No. 1 goalie and speaker of the Ethiopian team for the upcoming games that decide the last five teams for the 2014 World Cup. The number of goals that will be scored against us due to this wrong decision is estimated at 13, 8 being expected to pass through the rather arch-shaped bracket legs of the goalie and 5 through his big non-stop chattering mouth, which appears never to stop blabbering the dead tyrant's name every other minute. We wish not to suffer a defeat worse than this.
NB: Addis Gomen is a new goalie from the Dedebit Team. His two serious openings mentioned above are described by an expert as "goals within a goal" and are expected to be the major pitfalls of the entire team. Some experts predicted the number of goals at 11, a bit less than the one estimated above, citing the number of players within the team - thus a goal corresponding to each player. Others agree to this estimate, but they relate the number to the sign engraved on Addis Gomen's eyebrow soon after he was born around Dedebit some 60 years ago.
Fielding an inilegible player cost Cape Verde islanders a spot in the final round. They must have been devastated. An island smaller than Djibouti made head lines for their achievements in the last African Cup.
It nearly cost us a chance to reach the final round. Many African countries got punished/sanctioned for fielding ineligible players of some sort. Why is such practice so prevalent in African football?
Isn't there communication between the coach, the player, and the officials who oversee the matches? Why stuff like this rarely happens in other football associations?
That said Waliyas have their job cut out. No one, least of all the players take the next match to be easy. Stay focused, and have the mental strength you demonstrated in earlier matches.
The potential opponents may be stronger than the Waliyas. The pressure is on them to win and Waliyas have the advantage of being the under dogs.
Allez les Waliyas!
Cape Verde could have take lesson from the mistake made by waliyas and avoid the heartbreaking news for their supporters. The other things I believe the fifa ranking is comprehensive.
"Ethiopia is now ranked 25th in Africa behind Congo and ahead of Equatorial Guinea."
Since 2012, Ethiopia did play the African cup which is one of the 16 African nations. Currently Ethiopia is one of the 10 African nations in World cup qualification.
So, why is Ethiopia still in 25Th place?
Of course who controls FIFA?
As usual the devils especially the English that are at war against Ethiopia for years in all sides including intentionally damaging the nation image, undermined her citizens and affecting in many ways including coming in the country in the name of media, NGO, charity and the likes.
2006 must be the New Year, Ethiopians finally gets the truth and understands the evil nature of the English and are the worst foreign demons to be found in our country trying everything in every way to affect us.
It is killing them badly especially mentally because Ethiopia is now getting many friendly and good nations all over the world and is growing in a way the evil English will not play the aid propaganda dirty games to come in order to implement their Satanic secret agendas where some of them are very devastated including reaching remote rural areas and acting as if they do care for them while affecting the naive people have no idea about the evil nature of the English and their associates.
People need to know not only what English are doing against Ethiopia including intentionally damaging the country image and doing all evil acts they are doing since long time, but also the crimes against humanity and nature they did in Africa, Asia, North America, Australia and the likes. This year must be the begging of the End the English crimes and obstacles against our nation and naive people stink they are good people and believing and allowing them in the country act as God while doing as satans and devils with devastated results. England is the front runner why Ethiopia has lost her ancient sea coast line. This will continue remaining us how evil are the small evil island.
Football was a kind of game in today's Peru, Bolivia and the likes for thousands years. They took the ideas from there and they are telling the world as if they are invented it. The truth is, they didn't invent it but they changed the rule of the game and became the way it is today.
Of course, while searching for land on the endless seas and oceans, they reached to Africa, Asiatic American and 200 years ago, Australia and the likes. But they didn't say, we reached in those places but they discovered them despite those continents and peoples are 1000s times bigger, ancient and historical than they are.
The idea of discovering them is made intentionally in order to own them and they did it with committing gruesome crimes all over beyond Europe, in a way never ever happened before in Human history.
"Etiopia 93rd ? hmm. this is definitely woyane propaganda to divert the boiling tension"
Okay now, FIFA is now woyane too??
I share the comments, how can a team in top 10 be 25th rated? Also see the gap between Spain and Argentine - how do the ratings work?
Boka, please don't respond for this moron. He is trying to divert his to another topic so let's enjoy our success. You remembe how they destroyed our team spirit, those muslim fundamentalists by wearing our national team jersey by putting their DIMSACHIN YIZEGA PLEA. So don't give them attention.For them Ethiopia's success is their failure.
We are moving forward in all sectors as a nation state and every true Ethiopian knows it. This is just the beginning and there is no returning back.
The current Ethiopian National Team has been performing great. In the last two years the team never lost in Addis, lost only two games during 2013 AFCON in South Africa. The team qualified: 1)for 2013 AFCON after 31 years 2)1st time for CHAN 2014 3)2014 World cup 3rd round final pay off by becoming #1 in Group A 4)became one of the 10 best teams of Africa. All Ethiopians should be proud of this team.I don't agree with the current FIFA ranking, 93. In my opinion they deserve far better.

From the Post-Standard's blog, Syracuse players SU players Andy Rautins, Scoop Jardine and Kris Joseph discuss tonight's matchup against Seton Hall. This will be the first Big East game for 'Cuse and their first true road game. As the league's most surprising team thus far, Syracuse has just as much to prove tonight as do the Pirates. It should be a great one before a sold out Prudential Center.

Our friends at Kickstart have a new graphic novel in stores today, and this one is of special interest to me. KNOWBODYS is written by none other than Aqua Teen Hunger Force creator Matt Maiellaro. I got to interview him about the book late last year, which is easily one of the coolest things that's happened to me in my Internet career. Now, it's finally out. And here's the thing – it's not what you expect.
It's not an Aqua Teen-style orgy of non-sequiturs and over-the-top violence. There are no elaborately worded insults or pointless cruelty. Instead, it's a story about a family. Granted, the family in question is a family of paranormal investigators who are the last line of defense against the destruction of all life on Earth, but a family nonetheless. Tonally, it's very much different from ATHF / AUPS1, but it's funny and sometimes even touching.
Derk and Betty Knowbody are paranormal investigators, but not in the Mulder/Scully sense. They work for an organization that regulates the spirit world – not just arresting fugitive poltergeists, but serving unruly werewolves with noise complaints and busting unlicensed street sorcerers. (The mundane facets of the supernatural are probably the closest connection to Aqua Teen – Vampire Landlord Markula would have fit right in here.) Their organization, The Practice, relocates the couple and their unwitting children toNew Orleans and almost immediately sends the Knowbodys in pursuit of a madman named Sylbert Raven.

Downloaded form to get license to operate RV in excess 0f 26000 lbs. Called Austin and was told to get it notarized and take to DPS Drivers license office: no test, just pay for new license. Got to DL office and was told I have to take written and drivers test to obtain license. Does anybody out there know? Thanks.
Now I that I got the CDL manual I see that the Class B is required on vehicles with GVWR of 10,001 lbs. or greater. This rig has GVWR of 10000 lbs. I guess that makes me legal without Class B after all. I was going by what friends told me.

The trial of an Iranian-American pastor who has been imprisoned for his faith since September began Monday in Iran.
The prosecutor charged Pastor Saeed Abedini with attempting to undermine the Iranian government by creating a network of Christian house churches.
Abedini's attorney argued that his client's Christian activities were motivated solely by his faith and not a political agenda.
It's unclear if the trial wrapped up with Monday's hearing. It's also not known if the Iranian regime seeks to impose a lengthy prison sentence or the death penalty.
Sign the petition to free American Pastor Saeed in Iran.
The judge could hand down his verdict as early as next week.
The American Center for Law and Justice is urging President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to speak out publicly for Pastor Abedini.
Meanwhile, Abedini remains in prison and has not been released on bail as some media outlets have reported.
"This is all a lie by the Iranian media. This has been a repeated promise by the Iranian regime since Saeed was first thrown in prison," his wife, Naghmeh, told the ACLJ about the false reports of bail being accepted by the Iranian regime.
"This is a game to silence the international media," she said.

A 21-year-old nursing student found unresponsive and bleeding in a Pennsylvania alley after attending a house party has died in hospital.
Abbrielle Marie Brynda, known to friends as Abbie, died on Saturday night hours after a relative found her lying between two buildings on West 12th Street in Erie.
Police are treating the University of Gannon student's death as suspicious, but said they don't suspect foul play.
Heartbreaking: Abbrielle M. Brynda, 21, was found unresponsive and bleeding in a Pennsylvania alley on Saturday and later died in hospital
Tragic: Brynda's relative called emergency services after finding her body in an alley on West 12th Street
'When a young person is found under these circumstances, we have to treat it as a suspicious death,' Erie Police Chief Randy Bowers said. 'We don't have any reason to believe that foul play was involved, but we have more questions than answers.'
News of Brynda's tragic passing has left her family and friends reeling, with dozens of mourners congregating on Peach Street in front of Gannon University's Mary, Seat of Wisdom Chapel yesterday.
Brynda, from Zelienople, was a junior nursing major and member of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority at the private Catholic school.
'It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Abbie Brynda, Epsilon Delta at Gannon University,' the sorority posted on its Facebook page last night.
'Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Epsilon Delta chapter and Abbie's family and friends during this difficult time.'
Brynda's friend, Lauren Bolender Manzer, has set up a profile on fundraising website YouCaring.com to raise money for the sorority following Brynda's death. More than $2400 has been donated.
Scene: A relative found Brynda on Saturday afternoon, unresponsive and bleeding, lying in an alley between two buildings on West 12th St, just east of Sassafras St, in Erie, PA
Tragic: Brynda was an active member of the Sigma Sigma Sigma National Sorority
GoErie.com reported Brynda had attended a party on Friday
night at an apartment on the second floor of the building at 144 West 12th
The party's hosts told police that Brynda had left about 1.30am Saturday. The Seneca Valley High School graduate's body was found about 4pm that day.
'They (Brynda's family) had been looking for her all
night,' Erie police Sgt. Keith Kaschalk said.
'I guess she disappeared from this party and they said everybody has been looking for her.'
Police said Brynda was unresponsive when she rushed by ambulance to UPMC Hamot. She died about 9pm Saturday. Police are investigating.
'We have evidence over there (in the
alley) that suggests that, for some reason, she was bleeding,' Kaschalk said. 'There is blood over there.'
Grieving: Sigma Sigma Sigma National Sorority posted this emotional message on their Facebook page last night
Grieving: Mourners congregate along Peach Street in front of Gannon University's Mary, Seat of Wisdom Chapel after Sunday Mass in Erie on Sunday, the day student Abbrielle M. Brynda died

- Experiment One (Presto, Andante, Allegro)
- Experiment Two (Adagio, ma non troppo Lento)
- Experiment Four (Tanto Presto che Possibile)
The Computer Music Project is a facility for research, production of music, and teaching. It was established in 1984 with the help of a National Endowment for the Arts Grant for New Music Centers, a UIUC Campus Research Board Grant (both submitted by James Beauchamp, Herbert Brün, John Melby and Sever Tipei) and a School of Music contribution. James Beauchamp was named CMP Director by the Dean of FAA and Herbert Brün, Sal Martirano, John Melby, Sever Tipei and Scott Wyatt were asked to serve as a policy committee.
Two major IBM grants, EXCEL (Excellence in Computer-Aided Education and Learning) in 1986, and SUR (Shared University Resources) in 1987, helped acquire state of the art computer hardware. Subsequently, grants from the UIUC Campus Research Board were used to support research activities and update equipment.
In 1987 the International Computer Music Conference and a Computer Music Workshop were organized by James Beauchamp and Sever Tipei. Numerous collaboration over the years were established between CMP and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the CERL Sound Group, and the Argonne National Laboratory. Faculty and students have authored over 100 articles and paper presentations at major national and international conferences such as International Computer Music Conference, Acoustical Society of America, International Conference on Music Perception & Cognition and International Society for Music Information Retrieval.
The Computer Music Project became part of the UIUC Experimental Music Studios in 1997. During its 30 years of existence, research projects conducted by faculty and students led to the development of original software used in the creation of new works and teaching. Among such projects are: M4C, DIASS, SoundMaker and GACSS for sound synthesis, SNDAN and ARMADILLO for sound analysis, MP1 for computer-assisted composition, M4Cave for visualization of music in an immersive environment, NOTEPRO and GrafChord for music notation, DISSCO for composition and sound synthesis.
Born in Dublin in 1970, Donnacha Dennehy has received commissions from Dawn Upshaw, the Kronos Quartet, Alarm Will Sound, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Bang On A Can All-Stars, Lucilin, Contact (Toronto), Electra, the Fidelio Trio, Icebreaker, Joanna MacGregor, Orkest de Ereprijs, Orkest de Volharding, Percussion Group of the Hague, RTE National Symphony Orchestra, the Ulster Orchestra (BBC Radio 3), Smith Quartet, and the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players among others. Collaborations include pieces with the writer Enda Walsh (Misterman and a forthcoming opera), the choreographers Yoshiko Chuma (To Herbert Brun) and Shobana Jeyasingh, (Hinterlands), and the visual artist John Gerrard (Composition for Percussion, Loops, Blips and Flesh).
His work has been featured in festivals such as the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in the UK (which opened its 2012 Festival with a portrait concert devoted to Dennehy's music), ISCM World Music Days, Carnegie Hall's Contemporary Music Subscription Series (in 2013 and forthcoming in 2014), WNYC's New Sounds Live, Bang On A Can, Ultima Festival in Oslo, Musica Viva Lisbon, the Saarbrucken Festival, the Schleswig-Holstein Festival, and the Gaudeamus Festival in Amsterdam. In 2010 his large single-movement orchestral piece, Crane was 'recommended' by the International Rostrum of Composers.
Returning to Ireland after studies abroad at the University of Illinois (USA), Ircam (France) and the Netherlands, Dennehy founded the Crash Ensemble, Dublin's now renowned new music group, in 1997. Crash Ensemble is very much associated with the performance of many of Dennehy's landmark works, including the pieces Grá Agus Bás (with the singer Iarla O' Lionaird) and That the Night Come (with Dawn Upshaw) which feature on Dennehy's 2011 release on Nonesuch Records (entitled Grá Agus Bás). The Guardian, in a 5-star review of that discreferred to the music's "startling freshness". NPR named the disc one of its "50 Favorite Albums" (in any genre) of 2011. In July 2012, Cantaloupe released an EP of his piano music, played by Lisa Moore. Previous releases include a number by NMC Records in London.
Normally a lecturer at Trinity College Dublin, Donnacha was appointed a Global Scholar at Princeton University in the Autumn of 2012. He was also appointed composer-in-residence for the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra in Texas (2013-14).
The phrase grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre and unprecedented was paraphrased from a comment by then Taoiseach (prime minister) of Ireland, Charles Haughey, while describing a strange series of incidents in the summer of 1982 that led to a double-murderer being apprehended in the house of the Irish Attorney General.
It was a bizarre happening, an unprecedented situation, a grotesque situation, an almost unbelievable mischance.
The corresponding acronym, GUBU, was coined by Conor Cruise O'Brien, and both it and the phrase are still occasionally used in Irish political discourse to describe notorious scandals. In January 2011 some ministerial resignations from the Government were described by its opponent Michael Noonan as "...bizarre, grotesque and to some extent unbelievable."
Herbert Brün first turned to electronic sound production for the composition of music during the late 1950s in Paris, Cologne, and Munich studios, particularly guided by Gottfried Michael Koenig. before that, and at the same time, he composed works for acoustic instruments: small and large chamber ensembles and orchestra.
He also worked as a composer and conductor of music for the theater, gave lectures and seminars on the function of music in society, and did broadcasts on contemporary music. After completing a lecture tour through the United States in 1962, he went to the University of Illinois to do research; he taught there until is retirement in 1987 and after as a Professor Emeritus.
From 1980 on, he toured and taught with the Performers' Workshop Ensemble, a group he founded. His awards and honors include an honorary doctorate from the University of Frankfurt, one prize from the International Society of Bassists, (1977), and the Norbert Wiener medal from the American Society for Cybernetics 1993. He helped found the School for Designing Society in 1993 and taught there through the year 2000. Brün wrote and spoke incisively on the social and political significance of composition and on the tendencies of language to preempt thought.
Herbert Brün was born 1918 in Berlin, Germany, and studied with Eli Friedmann, Frank Pelleg, Wolf Rosenberg, and Stefan Wolpe.
A Mere Ripple (1979)
One sequence is varied fifty-six times, with extraordinary admonishments to itself thrown in and between.
(This music does not speak for itself)
A Mere Ripple likes neither its composer nor its listener. Least of all it likes the learned who know what's what. It wouldn't mind, however, if all this were to change, and would rather be swallowed by change than be liked without.
(This music does not want to speak for itself lest it discourages someone from speaking for it)

SAWDUST, a computer program for sound synthesis, was conceived by Herbert Brün, designed and implemented by Gary Grossman, and enhanced by Jody Kravitz and Keith Johnson.

Raw Data (1991)
Raw Data is dedicated to the commercial synthesizer industry. A synthesizer artist representing the Yamaha Music Corporation once predicted an artistic utopia: a device that transfers creative thoughts directly from the artist's brain to others' brains, with no intervening medium. A thought experiment on this presumed utopia suggests it will be nearly impossible to know if an experience is really yours, or from someone else. The only clue to original experience will be the presence of raw data: unprocessed, un-manipulated material. Unfortunately, media factories will catch on to this and in pursuit of more realistic effects will begin to simulate raw data in their products. Raw Data is an homage to that thought experiment and to Yamaha's role therein.
Embracing the alternative that good sound is errant sound, computer-generated sound presents the assignment to find a way compose un-manipulated material using a computer program. Not to simulate an absence of manipulation with pseudo-random numbers, but to generate real errant sound from fixed processes. The auditory formations between small bits of sound present one response to that composition assignment. In Raw Data Yamaha instruments were invited to the party with the condition that they try to relax and have a good time.
The majority of sounds were computed on a Cray Y-MP (since decommissioned) at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, using the M4C software synthesis environment created at the Computer Music Project, School of Music, UIUC. Composition algorithms and software were developed at the CMP and the NCSA Numerical Lab. Acknowledgments to Chris Kriese for his port of M4C to the Cray Y-MP, which was the only machine on campus in 1991 that could compute the composition in time for the premiere performance. Additional thanks go to Sever Tipei for arranging access to the supercomputer. Congratulations are due to Jim Beauchamp and Sever Tipei for founding and maintaining the CMP in a challenging administrative climate.
Carla Scaletti has a bachelor's of music from the University of New Mexico, a masters of music from Texas Tech University, a masters of computer science from the University of Illinois and a doctorate in music composition from the same school. In the 1970s, she worked as principal harpist in the New Mexico and Lubbock Symphony Orchestras and composed for acoustic instruments, but later she developed an interest in computer generated music. After completing her education, she worked as a researcher at the CERL Sound Group, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and later as a visiting assistant professor at the University of Illinois before leaving the university to launch the Symbolic Sound Corporation.
Scaletti designed the Kyma sound generation computer language and co-founded Symbolic Sound Corporation with Kurt J. Hebel in 1989 as a spinoff of the CERL Sound Group. She also works as a lecturer at the Center for the Creation of Music Iannis Xenakis (CCMIX) in Paris.
Scaletti is a member of the executive committee for the IEEE Task Force on Computer Music, a member of the advisory board for the Electronic Music Foundation, and is the founder and chair of SIGSound, a special interest group within the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Scaletti also serves as the president of the Salvat ore Martirano Foundation.
Scaletti has published professional articles in the Computer Music Journal, proceedings of the OOPSLA and SPIE conferences, Perspectives of New Music, and as book chapters. In 2003 she received the Distinguished Alumnae Award for contributions in the field of music from Texas Tech University.
sunSurgeAutomota (1987)
In sunSurgeAutomata, one-dimensional cellular automata are used to organize a collection of clicks into patterns perceived as rhythm and pitch. This is expressive of Lewis Thomas' proposal that the development of life on Earth may have been "thermodynamically inevitable," given the steady streams of energy from the sun to the unfillable sink of space by way of Earth. Thomas suggests that the "urge to make music" may be a desire to recapitulate this "transformation of inanimate, random matter in chaos into the improbable ordered dance of living forms."
John Nichols III is recognized nationally and internationally for his electroacoustic works, and he continues to enthusiastically examine and test the limits of the art form. Some of his awards include winner of the Conlon Music Prize for Disklavier Plus (2013, Netherlands), Second Prize in the Foundation Destellos Sixth International Competition of Electroacoustic Composition and Visual Music (2013, Acousmatic Music Category), Second Prize in the International Workshop on Computer Music and Audio Technology 2012 International Electroacoustic Music Young Composers Awards (Hsinchu, Taiwan), a Jury Special Mention and Audience Award in the 27th Luigi Russolo International Sound Art Competition (2013, France & Spain), and a Special Mention in the 2012 Métamorphoses Acousmatic Composition Competition (Brussels, Belgium). His works have been selected for publication on SEAMUS, ABLAZE Records, Musiques & Recherches, and Monochromevision. A native of Chicago, Mr. Nichols is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Composition at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he won the Fourteenth Annual 21st Century Piano Commission Competition.
Headbanger (2012)
Headbanger is inspired by the following John Cage quote:
"I certainly had no feeling for harmony, and Schoenberg thought that that would make it impossible for me to write music. He said, 'You'll come to a wall you won't be able to get through.' So I said, 'I'll beat my head against that wall.' "
Considering Cage's influence on electroacoustic music, I felt it would be appropriate to make a reference to his first electroacoustic composition. Headbanger concludes with an allusion to the constant note record heard at the beginning of Imaginary Landscape No.1 (1939).
Lejaren Hiller was born in New York in 1924.He attended Princeton University, where he studied composition with Milton Babbitt and Roger Sessions, while at the same time studying chemistry and related sciences. For a period of some ten years subsequent to this, he was professionally engaged in scientific research, first with the du Pont company and later at the University of Illinois. It was at the end of this period, namely in 1956, that he composed the ILLIAC SUITE in collaboration with Leonard Isaacson. This was the first composition produced by means of a digital computer.
While teaching chemistry, Hiller also worked towards a M.M. in composition, studying with Hubert Kessler. After receiving his M.M. in 1958, he transferred to the music faculty in order to start the Experimental Music Studio. In 1968 Hiller joined the faculty at the University of Buffalo as a professor of composition. Hiller received two Fulbright lectureships, the first of which was in 1973 to 1974 in Warsaw, Poland. The second of these two lectureships was in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, in 1980.
Hiller was an experimental composer in the strictest sense. In the mid sixties, Hiller asserted that his, "objective in composing music by means of computer programming is not the immediate realization of an aesthetic unity, but the providing and evaluating of techniques whereby this goal can eventually be realized." In this sense Hiller was a forward looking composer, in that each piece was an experiment that lead towards the next piece.
Quartet No. 4 for Strings "Illiac Suite" (1956/1957)
This music is a chronological record – a laboratory notebook – of experiments carried out from 1955 to 1957 to determine whether digital computers such as ILLIAC I might be used to generate music subject only to general instructions derived from logical compositional procedures. It is divided into four movements which illustrate how various musical problems might be encoded for a computer. Whatever aesthetic unity it might have is entirely incidental to its main reason for existence.
In "Experiment One," the primary purpose was the generation of a recognizable form of polyphonic music simply to demonstrate that the technical problem can be handled. Simplified four-part first-species strict counterpoint was employed for this purpose. The successive sections of this movement demonstrate how the technique of composition was elaborated from monody to two-part to four-part writing.
In "Experiment Two," the complete and correct solution to first-species counterpoint was achieved to demonstrate that a conventional form of music can be handled by computer logic. In this movement, there is first heard a purely random white-noise music. Then, to this, rules are added section by section which impose order until at the end of the movement, correct counterpoint is obtained. Another way of interpreting this progression is to note that this is an illustration of how a system of high information content is gradually transformed into a system of low information content by the introduction of redundancy.
In "Experiment Three," problems of rhythms, dynamics and playing instructions were investigated in a texture of freely dissonant chromatic writing. The pitch choices are fixed in the first section of the movement, then are chosen randomly from the ordinary chromatic scale, then are controlled somewhat by some simple compositional rules and finally by some elementary twelve-tone serial produces.
In "Experiment Four," stochastic or probability music was generated. Although this is the most abstruse method of composition employed in these experiments, it also seemed the most logical technique for further developments in computer-assisted composition. It is the compositional technique most suited to and most dependent upon high-speed mathematical processing.
-Lejaren Hiller
I. In 1984, Sean Harold was the first man on Earth to be his mother's son. His father was fully aware of this, though he may not have let on for fear of reprisal.
II. Perhaps coincidentally, in 1984 Sean Harold's father was the first man on Earth to be Sean Harold's father. But this honor seems dubious in retrospect.
III. In 1986, Sean Harold's sister was the first woman on earth to be Sean Harold's sister, though her hand in this accomplishment has been called into question, and no doubt the record books will carry an asterisk.
IV. (At this juncture, it seems prudent to mention that 1995 was an entirely unfavorable year. Its details shall be omitted.)
V. In the early years of the new millennium, so called at the time anyway, Sean Harold became the first person on Earth to ironically outline the biographical details of Sean Harold's life. This was in poor taste at the time, and little has since improved.
The Sky is Cold (First Iteration) (2012)
The Sky is Cold was written using three recursive overlapping forms, each of which is, in of itself, a recursive tripart form. The piece is based around an extended Just Intoned pitch system, wherein higher partials are introduced into each of the overlapping forms over time. Similarly, timbre shifts, dynamics, and density all shift within each form as the piece progresses. These processes are controlled stochastically, allowing different iterations of the piece to retain their general identity, while still being unique works unto themselves. Every aspect of this composition was created entirely within DISSCO, from the micro to the macro level, which allowed for an incredibly high level of inner-unity.

Landscape architect J.R. Kramer tried to celebrate PARK(ing) Day on Friday, a worldwide event in which artists, designers and others transform metered parking spots into temporary public parks.
The only problem is, he chose King Street.
As Charleston parking officers looked on, Kramer packed up his furniture, his artificial grass and the potted cacti that he had arranged with care on a parking place in front of 535 King St.
Kramer and his associate Jesse Solomon were able to order pizza for lunch and attract attention from passersby to a point.
The city officers eventually instructed the pair that they would have to vacate the space well before the two hours had elapsed on the parking meter that Kramer had filled with coins.
Kramer complied before he could be given a fine or even a parking ticket.
No hard feelings, he told an onlooking official, who might have been responding to a complaint.
A woman who works nearby but declined to give her name thought Kramers display was weird and inappropriate. Weve never seen anything like that, she said. I would have been furious if it was in front of our store.
Sammy Kirshtein of Dixie Furniture said he was fine with having the park spring up outside his store. It didnt bother me at all. It was an air of excitement.
Tim Keane, Charlestons director of Planning, Preservation and Sustainability, said the citys parking enforcement officers were just doing their job.
Parking spaces on the street are for cars, he said. On a daily basis, there are a lot of cars coming and going. Theres a lot of business going on. The merchants have expectations of their business and the activities of the street.
Last year, PARK(ing) Day created 975 parks in 162 cities in 35 countries on six continents, according to the website parkingday.org.
Kramers move was similar to what developer Vince Graham did in 2006, when he commandeered a Lower King Street parking space and served his friends pizza and nonalcoholic beer.
Graham was cited and given a court date, though the city later dropped its charge of obstructing public ways.
At the time, Graham said he thought of planning a similar dine-in to celebrate, but instead decided to meet with Mayor Joe Riley to discuss his larger point that city streets should be geared more toward pedestrians and less toward cars.
Keane said the city is interested in creative uses of its public realm.
He noted thay the city has closed off much of King Street to vehicles one Sunday afternoon a month, and it recently gave up a vehicle parking space at King and John streets to install bike racks there instead.
In 2008, the city co-sponsored a PARK(ing) Day event with The Trust for Public Land, temporarily occupying parking spaces within the confines of a Market area parking lot.
Kramer said he and Solomon were disappointed that they were not allowed to stay for the full two hours Friday, but they still had fun.
We got to meet some really nice folks and saw a lot of smiles as people drove by, he said. Yes, I will do it again next year.

As any PR pro can tell you, it's all in the timing.
Whether it's when you reach a reporter just as he's in the thick of a story for which your brand can provide some much-needed insight or launch a PR campaign that attaches itself to the zeitgeist, timing is everything.
This applies to both business and life, for better or for worse. My timing to spend a few days on the beach last week, for example, didn't work out too well. A valiant effort to simply embed myself in the sand and watch the sky roll by was thwarted by swirling gray clouds and a constant threat of showers.
What are you going to do?
Fortunately, there's still a good chunk of summer left to get in some quality beach time and hit the waves (I'm an avid swimmer). But even if the weather doesn't cooperate it doesn't hurt to crack open a cold drink and settle down with a good beach read.
Indeed, with communicators more pressed for time than ever, we recommend several beach books that can help inform you about the ever-morphing world of media, marketing and communications, but also entertain and enlighten.
> Youtility: Why Smart Marketing Is about Help Not Hype, by Jay Baer
Baer, who has worked with top brands ranging from Nike to Walmart, explores how an age-old expression—Can I help you?—has taken on new meaning in a social marketing age.
> Edelman and the Rise of Public Relations, by Franz Wisner
This e-book offers a comprehensive history of the first family of public relations and the accompanying rise of the PR field. In 1952 Dan Edelman, who died in January, founded what is now the largest independent PR agency in the world, with 67 offices and more than 4,800 employees.
> Rethinking Reputation: How PR Trumps Marketing and Advertising in the New Media World, by Fraser P. Seitel and John Doorley
PR expert Fraser Seitel and John Doorley, founder of the Academy for Communication Excellence and Leadership at Johnson & Johnson, provide some crucial guidelines on how PR pros can navigate their brands through the new (and tricky) media landscape.
> The Start-up of You: Adapt to the Future, Invest in Yourself, and Transform Your Career, by Reid Hoffman and Ben Casnocha
We're all start-up companies now. Even if you work in an office ladled with the traditional accoutrements of corporate America, getting ahead in today's world requires individuals to invest in themselves and their skill sets.
> Audience Evolution: New Technologies and the Transformation of Media Audiences, by Philip Napoli
Ever get the feeling that we're just a few codes away from transcending the space-time continuum? This book takes a look at the tremendous influence modern technology has on the media and the radical changes in how people consume media.
> The Fall of Advertising and The Rise of PR, by Al Ries, Laura Ries.
Advertising used to be the lord of the manor but in the new media world PR has become king of the castle. The Ries' make convincing argument that in order to boost their credibility with consumers, companies need to drive the overall message with PR and have advertising, er, paid media, play a subordinate role.
Any titles you think we should add to the list?

Spinach bread maybe?
Impressed with you creativity for the other substitutions!
In my past CW ways, I would often turn to a PB&J sandwich with some skim milk as a snack or quick meal.
Does anyone have a primal version of the old classic for an occassional indulgence?
I've got cashew butter and almond butter so those would be the obvious replacements for the Peter Pan mess. And I was planning on using thawed and mashed frozen berries for the jelly.
My quandry is a primal "bread" that would go with it. Any recipes or links?
BTW, I'd drink it with full-fat or coconut milk now!
Spinach bread maybe?
Impressed with you creativity for the other substitutions!
Put it all on a banana.
Or you can make almond meal pancakes.
- If it was cute and cuddly at some point, eat it. Ignore everything else. -
- Food is first, and foremost, nothing more than fuel. -
- The body is animal. The mind, however, is not. -
Spinach bread is such an awful suggestion for that, hahaha. Spinach with nut butter and berries? haha. Sorry. The idea just makes my stomach turn over a bit :P
I agree on the banana bit as a good suggestion, but I've heard there are great "breads" on Elanas Pantry's site you could try. She has everything from a nut bread, to "simple bread" to speciality breads with cranberries and such. I'm sure you could make a loaf on the weekend to make quick meals/snacks on the go!
Bugger all to do with being a 'limey'. I used to LOVE it when I was a kid, but not as much as I used to love PB&J, NOTHING beat my favourite: -
Peanut Butter
Chocolate Spread
All mashed together and then, for added ahem 'deliciousness' golden syrup! Used to think that was lush - especially toasted. Ruined many a toastie maker like that when I was a nipper!
Another variant was PBJC toasted (that's peanut butter, jelly and cheese - yes, that's right, I said CHEESE!!! Cheddar for preference and the 'jelly' HAD to be raspberry!) My mum's late dad used to love cheese and jam sarnies (well jam's almost chutney, isn't it...?) and Mum's inherited that love from him.
Still miss my favourite after-school snack, though - cheese and Marmite toasties! I've got a large jar of Marmite in the cupboard and I still indulge in a heaped teaspoon every now and then (I did eat a whole 500g jar in 2 days once. No, I'm NOT kidding - I'm a Marmite maniac, me! ADORE the stuff! )
Does that make me even weirder...?
La tristesse durera toujours...
It's not primal...but I use Ezekiel Bread as part of my "20%" indulgences. It is high protein and fiber, and the grains are sprouted, which helps reduce the negative impacts.
It makes a heck of an almond butter and no-sugar jelly (or banana) sandwich.
if you're down with dairy, you can also make oopsie rolls.
this flax bread is also tasty and is also excellent without the flax.
HANDS OFF MY BACON :: my primal journal
When I need a quick snack and feel like kind of using my 20%, I have "PB&J without the bread." I scoop up a spoonful of peanut butter (you could use almond butter, but that's too dangerous for me to have in the house! My husband's the usual peanut butter eater) and then dip it in the jelly jar (reduced sugar from TJs, no fake sugars, so less sugary than the usual stuff but still has some added sugar) and take a little bite. I continue dipping and eating until the peanut butter's gone from the spoon. Weird, I know, but oddly delicious

Research Topics
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be used as a model system to study the molecular basis of fate-specification during early mammalian development. They can also be used to derive various types of cells for disease modeling, drug discovery, regenerative medicine, toxicity testing, and environmental health studies.
Successful application of ESC and iPSC to the above studies depends on a thorough understanding of the mechanisms that control their self-renewal and differentiation. We have previously carried out a genome-wide RNAi screen in mouse ESCs and identified a list of novel genes that are important self-renewal. We are currently investigating the function of several of these novel genes in ESCs and iPSCs with biochemical, genetic, and genomic approaches.
In addition to the studies of those newly-identified self-renewal factors, we are developing and applying functional and chemical genetic approaches to identify and probe new genes and networks involved in stem cell fate specification. We plan to study the differentiation of ESCs into specific lineages and the self-renewal of other types of stem cells. We also plan to study the effect of environmental chemicals on ESC and iPSC differentiation and development.

Entertainment One restructures music unit
Tough economic times have forced Canuck producer, distributor and music company Entertainment One to restructure its U.S. music operations and postpone its listing on the Toronto stock exchange.
Entertainment One will lay off approximately 30 of its 250 staffers at E1 Music Stateside.
E1 Music — formerly known as Koch — is the largest independent distributor and record label in the U.S. Most of the layoffs will happen at its Port Washington, Long Island headquarters.
As for the listing, Entertainment One CEO Darren Throop said that the company "came to the conclusion late last week that it didn't make sense based on macroeconomic conditions."
Throop said he hopes to obtain a Toronto stock listing under more positive market conditions.
But he stressed that the delay is not a reflection of problems at Entertainment One. The company just garnered boffo box office in Canada and the U.K. with "Twilight," and sequel "New Moon" is slated for release this year.
E1 Music restructuring is due to the downturn in CD sales. But Throop said music remains important for the company, particularly given the opportunity to tie in movie releases and soundtracks.

Is there a way to display the list of coordinates for implicitplot and plot, rather than the displaying image itself?
In Maple Classic this happens automatically when the assignment operator is used ( := ) together with a semi-colon, eg. A:=implicitplot(F, x=-1..1, y=-1..1);
But is there a way to do this in the non-classic version? Thanks very much.

How to increase the size of toolbar icons in Maple 2015 32-bit Classic on Windows?
Hi there,I've created some nice 3D-plots. I want to export them and insert them in LaTex. Exporting to EPS gives me a zero-byte-file but no printable data.I've already read that I'm not the first to have this issue and there is obviously a work-around by enabling the Classic-Worksheet-mode. Unfortanely this mode appears to be not available in Maple 17 under MAC OSX. Is there another way to solve the problem?Would help me a lot.Thanks!
sometimes when I download something from Maple apps centers, such as this package, http://www.maplesoft.com/applications/view.aspx?SID=33406 I find the example documents there are written in .mw and when I open them, there are in document mode style, the fancy word like style which I can't stand looking at. It has all the math input in italic and maple commands look different from classic Maple text. It very confusing, since I see something as (0<x<1) which is valid in this document mode, but in classical maple, this is not valid code.
It seems Maple has 2 different syntax. One that works in document mode and one that is classical text maple.
I like to use only input as Maple notation which these documents do not do.
Is there a way to convert such .mw file to become standard classic worksheet mode? I know I will lose the chapter/section heading and all that. I also tried selecting all in the document, then did Tools->options->Display->Input display->Maple notation, but nothing happend to the open document. It remained document mode with 2D math input.
When I save it as .mws, and open it again, it remains on document mode.
How to convert such documents to classical Maple syntax?
Is there a way to open a classic worksheet in macintosh, even running windows through a virtual machine?
I am using "Maple 15" and "Windows 7" and I want to share the tip for using "Classic worksheet" and "GR Tensor". Windows 7 is 64-bit but you can use Classic worksheet and GR Tensor, which work basically in 32-bit, by simply downlording "32-bit Maple 15" !! I haven't tried other more current versions of Maple but Maple 15 works well: you can choose 32-bit Maple in the download options.
Enjoy the Classic worksheet and GR Tensor. Good luck !
I only recently started to work with Maple17 and tried to test the Explore command. In Classic worksheet I tried a very simple function with a parameter, but after setting the inteval of the parameter in the Java pop-up window I have no result. In return I take: "Error, (in Explore) invalid input: rtable_dims uses a 1st argument, A (of type rtable), which is missing"
Has anyone encounter the same issue before?
Maple people:
I just installed Maple 16 on my home PC. I prefer using Classic Worksheet Maple, so that I can actually tell what I have typed, and what I type appears in red typewriter font. I also would like matching parentheses to blink when I enter stuff so I enter the right number of parentheses. Maple works this way on my office PC, but I can't get it to work this way at home. I could simply use regular Maple 16 (not Classic Worksheet...
Recently, I upgraded from Maple 13 to Maple 16. I have been using Maple for 20 years --- Maple V Release 2 (1992) through Maple 16 (2012), and I participated in beta testing Maple V Release 4, which developed what we now call the Classic Interface. The Classic Interface is amazing --- it was better than Mathematica in 1994 and it is still better than Maple's Standard Interface. The Standard Interface is missing features that were...
I found some old Maple 6 worksheets that I wrote in 2003 and I want to see what's in them and probably transfer at least some of the content to new worksheets. Most of them I can view just fine with Maple 16 standard interface but at least one of them comes out looking like all of the lines have been printed on top of each other --- completely illegible. Now I can read the worksheet using Maple classic interface on my machine at home, but both of my machines at...
A user recently sent to me a Maplet that includes the display of an array of plots. This maplet works fine when run under the classic interface but not under the standard interface. As I tried to understand this problem I believe I have narrowed it down to a difference in the way the classic and standard interfaces handle an array of plots.
The attached worksheet is a very simplified example that shows the problem. What should happen is that pressing the "Plot single" button should show a single graph, pressing the "Plot array" button plots the empty axes, and pressing the "Plot displayed array" button displays a 2x2 array of plots. The second and third buttons illustrate the need for "plots:-display" in the action definition for this button.
Unfortunately, this works only in the classic interface. In the standard interface the "plot displayed array" button does not display anything. I should add that it appears to work correctly when exported as a .maplet file and run with the Maplet Viewer.
I have uploaded the worksheet: PlotArrayMapletDem.mw
Hi:For many reasons, until recently, I have been always using Classic interface under Maple through Maple 16. When trying Maple 16 with Java interface I have noticed several quirks which were not present under the Classic interface of earlier versions through (at least) Maple 13. One of them is this:The shortcut keys such as CTRL+Insert and SHIFT+Insert do not work and I am forced to use a mouse and copy/paste icons in Maple. This really slows down my keyboard...
I would appreciate a hint why Maple 16 Classic under Win XP 32 bit crashes due to the following sequence of commands> dir1:="C:\\Maple16\\P16\\test1\\";> path:=cat("dir ",dir1);> ssystem(path); with the lasst ssystem command doing the crashing while the same sequence of commands under Maple 13 Classic does not: Instead, system returns to Maple 13 worksheet the content of the directory "dir1" as expected.Is there another way to issue that ssystem command?
That's the question... 'cause I've tried to open it using
./maple14/bin/maple -cw
./maple14/bin/maple -cw
like a thousand times and nothing happens...
I was solving one Math puzzle and found out a strange behaviour of the Optimization package commands in the Classic Worksheet.
Let us minimize the function 7*x+3*y under the constraint 6*x+2*y >= 49 for non-negative integers. When I type
Optimization:-Minimize(7*x+3*y, {6*x+2*y >= 49}, assume = nonnegint);

Featured Golf News
Mickelson Back on Track
Phil Mickelson returns to competitive golf since the Ryder Cup for this week's HSBC Champions in China. The defending champion in the elite-field, $7 million tournament, Mickelson took the hiatus to spend time with family, but also to recover from psoriatic arthritis, which started affecting him in June.
At that time, the 40-year-old, who won the Masters two months before in April, woke up with intense pain in his tendons and joints. He made it through the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach with stretching and anti-inflammatory drugs, but his condition gradually worsened.
When his ailment was diagnosed Mickelson began taking new medication. It took eight weeks for it to start working. That occurred around the time of the Ryder Cup, when he handily beat Europe's Peter Hanson in singles.
On the eve of the HSBC Champions, Mickelson told Doug Ferguson of the Associated Press, "I've been taking one drug and I feel 100 percent. I feel terrific. I cannot believe the difference. I've been able to do all the normal activities in my life. I've been able to practice at whatever level, and I honestly don't feel any different than I did before.
"I've had good time off. I'm on a good medicine. Things feel pretty good," added Mickelson, now ranked fourth in the world behind newly crowned Lee Westwood, Tiger Woods and Martin Kaymer.
To get to the No. 1 position, Mickelson needs to finish at least in fourth and the others not so high.
He understands why he wasn't able to ascend to the top. "I haven't played well since the Masters - or as well as I expected - maybe since the U.S. Open," he told Ferguson. "So I don't feel like I've earned it. I've got to play well and win more tournaments, and then I feel like those results will take care of itself."
Mickelson's best chances for becoming the top-ranked player in the world could occur with tournament wins in early 2011. "It's fun to be a part of it and have a chance," he said.
Mickelson, who calls the HSBC Champions a "field of winners," will be paired with Westwood and 2006 champion Y.E. Yang. The other marquee groups include Woods, 2010 U.S. Open champion McDowell, and former No. 1 Ernie Els, while Kaymer will join Hunter Mahan and Paul Casey.
Mickelson heads into Thursday's event as the 11-1 favorite in British betting parlors, while Woods is going off at 8-1.
Mickelson got heads scratching when he said he was becoming a vegetarian during the PGA Championship. That announcement was strange for the notorious trencherman, who is a part-owner of Five Guys, a chain of burger joints in Southern California.
In China, Mickelson said he remains a vegetarian but may be changing his dietary habits soon. "I've been doing it for just over four months and I'm just having second thoughts," he told Ferguson.
"I don't know if it really is going to make a difference or what. So we'll see. We can talk about it in January, and I'll have a better idea - see how the holidays go."
