It's getting remarkably rough for the Democrats out here in California. Long, long time Assembly Speaker (and then after 1994 booted him out, San Francisco Mayor) Democrat Willie Brown has no confidence in any of the top Democrats, saying they have no ground operation at all. He applied that to Jerry Brown (Governor), Gavin Newsom (Lt. Governor), and Babs Boxer (Senate).
The Chamber of Commerce is also pounding on the Democrats, pointing out that No Ma'am Boxer bounced 143 checks in the House Bank scandal. No integrity. No honesty. She's a thief.
Just one more reason we need to beat her and elect Carly Fiorina to the Senate.
The Taxpayer Network is on the air against Boxer, and Carly's got her fourth ad up, too:
The ongoing ad campaign has tightened the race. I have the race rated 55/45, nearly a coin flip. An apparent Internal poll has the race tied even at 44.
With all of this, it's no wonder that Carly has raised $1.4 million in the first 13 days of October. She can use more, too, because TV ads in California are awfully expensive, and they are critical in Carly's turning this race around and getting herself in position to win. I'm in for $25.

'Chuck' - 'Chuck vs. the Coup D'Etat': Don't mess with the Angel De La Muerte
A review of tonight's "Chuck" coming up just as soon as I wear my teeth-bleaching system in front of you(*)...
"We're all about to die over basically just one big relationship problem?" -Chuck
I assumed, based on the return of Armand Assante as Generalissimo Goya and promo photos like the one above, that "Chuck vs. the Coup D'Etat" was going to be a very Awesome (and Ellie)-heavy episode. And it wasn't quite that, though Devon and Ellie did get some nice showcase moments. Then I saw the end of last week's episode, and the opening scenes of this one, and thought this was going to be another episode highlighted by Chuck and Sarah's relationship bleeding over into their work. And while there was certainly a lot of that - much of it funny - that wasn't what I imagine I'll look back on this episode and remembering.
No, the best part of Goya's return was the best part of his debut appearance last season: the Angel De La Muerte himself, John Casey.
Though Casey is understandably a fan favorite, actual Casey-centric episodes have been kind of a mixed bag for the series. Last year's "Chuck vs. the Tic-Tac" was a dark highlight, but "Chuck vs. the Sensei" was one of the few weak spots in the fantastic season two, and "Chuck vs. the Undercover Lover" was a bit ragged, as it was one of the last episodes written before the strike shut down season one.
Casey does, on the other hand, have an excellent track record for walking away with episodes in which he's only partly featured. "Chuck vs. the Angel De La Muerte" was at least as much a Devon episode, if not more, yet the most memorable moments involved Casey. Here, he was arguably even lower on the totem pole, after Chuck/Sarah and Devon/Ellie, yet once Goya decides that only John Casey can protect him, Adam Baldwin owns the remainder of the episode, whether it's Casey being bad-ass both in and out of the wheelchair in the courtyard, Casey complaining of "the stench of tyranny" or Casey revealing some of what he learned during the two weeks he spent inside the wall ("He used to watch you sleep"). And even earlier than that, of course, there was all the tension between Casey and Morgan over the inevitable Morgan/Alex relationship, which ought to take us to some very amusing places in the coming weeks.
Of course, Casey's ascension in the second half did put Awesome and Ellie on the sidelines pretty quickly, but at least we got the Captain Awesome statue (Michaelangelo's David in scrubs) serving as an aphrodisiac during the babymoon, and from an emotional/story point, Ellie finally go to see Chuck in action, realize that he knows what he's doing (and likes doing it), and learn a little bit about Chuck's search for their mom. I hope the show has a good plan for the moment we all know is coming when Ellie discovers the full truth, but this one tiptoed up to the line nicely.
And as for Chuck and Sarah, I like how Morgan has now become a kind of audience surrogate, mocking them for how many fo their problems are caused by their inability to have an actual conversation. So then the episode proceeded to give them nothing but conversations - awkward, funny conversations that again played well to Yvonne Strahovski's impatient comic strengths.
I know some of you have complained that the show is pushing Chuck/Sarah too much this year. And I could certainly do with an episode or two where the mission isn't a referendum on their relationship. But on the other hand, the show did put them together after three years of building up to it, and I think it would be unfair - both from a storytelling point of view and simply for the Chuck/Sarah fans - if we came out of the gate acting like it was no big deal. I've liked these stories so far. There's been tension, but in a way that fits into what the show is about, rather than the "all shows are ruined when the couple finally hooks up" fallacy. And here they managed to give us a lot of Chuck/Sarah in an episode that also, as mentioned above, showcased Casey, and Devon and Ellie, and Morgan and even Big Mike. (Jeffster had the week off.) So I'm good.
Plus, Armand Assante was just as much hammy fun this time as last.
Some other thoughts:
• The NBC promo department couldn't find it in their hearts to allot 5 or 10 seconds to showing Sarah in her underwear two weeks ago, but I hear (though I did not see) that there was a commercial during football featuring the Sarah bikini fashion show. Sooner or later, you put Yvonne Strahovski in enough skimpy outfits and good things are going to happen. (And by "good things," I of course mean "promotion for 'Chuck.'")
• This week in "Chuck" music: "Laura" by Girls (Chuck and Morgan watch the surveillance footage), "Tropicana" by La Tropicana Orchestra (the music for Goya's invitation video), "Sleep Walk" by Santo & Johnny (Morgan, Casey and Alex talk), "Rebulu" by Jesus Alejandro Nino (Chuck and company arrive at Goya's party), "Without You" by Lewis LaMedica (Alex kisses Morgan) and "She Brings Me the Music" by RPA and The United Nations of Sound (Chuck learns about his mom through Goya, talks to Ellie about mom, and Sarah tells Chuck she loves him).
• Costa Gravas now has a Subway franchise. Of course. Heh. (A much funnier bit of product integration than Awesome's plug for a certain minivan.)
• Been a long time since I saw "The Mambo Kings." Does Assante sing "Besame Mucho" in that? Or was that scene just a riff on "Besame Mucho" as a cliche?
• It's a well the show has gone to before, but I never tire of Chuck being horrified by Ellie and Awesome's sex life.
• No Greta this week.
What did everybody else think?
(*) I should note that this was maybe the hardest "just as soon as" decision I've had to make in quite a while, as "just as soon as I follow the stink of commie" was also damned tempting, but I already used a commie line in my "Chuck vs. the Angel De La Muerte" review.

The 8th Annual Conference of the Igbo Studies Association Theme: NIGERIA AT 50: The IGBO EXPERIENCE In Commemoration of Nigeria's 50th Independence Anniversary Howard University, Washington, D.C., USA April 9 - 10, 2010

Announcement ID:
Igbo Studies Association (ISA) invites you to participate in the 8th Annual Conference of the Association to be held from 9-10 April 2010 at Howard University, Washington, D.C. (USA). The theme for the 2010 ISA International Conference is "Nigeria at 50: The Igbo Experience" in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of Nigeria's independence from British rule.
The 50th independence anniversary of Nigeria's independence will provide an auspicious moment for stock-taking or reappraisal of the experiences of Ndi-Igbo within Nigeria, especially since independence. It is hoped that this scholarly reassessment will focus on the past and present conditions of Ndi-Igbo while providing a blueprint for the future.
It has never been in doubt that Ndi-Igbo are very enterprising in all facets of human endeavor. The Igbo have made meaningful strides in both human and material development of Nigeria. Yet, their relegation and marginalization within the context of inter-group relations in Nigeria since independence have remained quite glaring and persistent. As the political, economic and socio-cultural landscape of Nigeria is being drawn and redrawn each passing year, the question remains as to how Ndi-Igbo should re-position themselves, and to take their rightful place in a Nigeria that they played an immense role in creating and rescuing from the clutches of colonialism. When will enough be enough? When will the "leaderlessness" and/or "directionlessness" of Ndi-Igbo end? When will Ndi-Igbo eschew ultra-materialism and individualism that have both constituted a cog on the wheel of development of Ndi-Igbo as a whole? What are the Igbo interests in Nigeria's federal democracy? Yet more questions exist that we hope the 2010 conference will address.
Thus, the goal of the 2010 conference is to critically analyze and understand the past experiences and current state of Ndi- Igbo in an independent Nigeria so as to develop responsive, innovative ideas and concrete proposals not only for the survival but also advance of Ndi-Igbo in Nigeria. The larger goal is to provoke new, positive frontiers of thought and action that would renew and re-energize Ndi-Igbo toward common thought and action that will benefit all.
The issue of the Igbo experience within Nigeria should be construed in its broadest context as well as specific cases, including but not limited to the following topics:
• Politics and Leadership
• Ethnicity and Civil Society;
• Census, Economic Initiatives
• Social and Cultural issues;
• Elections and Democratic Process;
• Education and Development;
• History and Culture;
• Media, Art and Artistic Expression;
• Sports and Human development;
• Security and Armed Police Forces;
• Public Health and Medicine;
• Environment and Human Rights,
• Role of the West in Ndi-Igbo Affairs;
• Law, Justice and Property Rights
• Changing Values and Norms;
• Peace and National Reconciliation
• Crime and Vigilante Justice
• Religion (Dibias, Prophets, Prophesies, etc);
• Child and Youth Development;
• Civil War and Lessons;
• Igbo Language and Identity;
• Industry and Agriculture
• Gender and Social Change
Please include the following in your proposal: your name, current position and institutional affiliation, paper title, abstract (300 words maximum), your mailing address, email, phone and fax number.
You will be notified of acceptance and other program details by email. Selected papers will be considered for publication and inclusion in the conference proceedings. We prefer presentations in English. However, those who would like to present in the Igbo language should make translations of their papers available in English. Participants are responsible for the conference fee and their travel and lodging costs.
•Deadline for submission of proposal is September 30, 2009.

Secrets of a Long Time Love
It all started at a fondue party. That should be your first clue as to how long we've been together. I didn't particularly want to go to a party that night, having just had a break up. But my brother, Greg, was visiting and he wanted to meet girls. It was February and I was expecting a dreary, lonely Valentine's Day so I went.
Shelley Shlicker, yes that was her real name, worked with me at The Encyclopedia Britannica. For you youngsters out there, that was the Google of our generation. It was a bitter cold Chicago night, the kind that freezes tears on your cheeks. I stepped into her apartment, grateful for the warmth, and looked around the room. There were several writers and corporate type men in jackets, good looking, circling the fondue pots. I remember setting my coat down and slowly looking across the room. There, standing against the wall, was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen. He was slender with shoulder length black hair, strong cheek bones and smoldering dark eyes. Think Johnny Depp's twin in "Don Juan de Marco." Down to the velvet pants. I smile now, but this was the hippie era and in contrast to all the suits, this guy was cool. Our gazes locked and it was like I'd read about in books-- a thunderbolt. I remember thinking, "Oh no. I'm not ready for this." Did I tell you I was barely 20 years old?
I avoided him all evening. Chatted with everyone else. But when I was standing in line for the bathroom I heard a deep voice in my ear, "Hello." I closed my eyes. I was done for.
We began to talk and we've been together ever since. His name was Markus (not Mark, he told me). We were both so young. We married soon after. We both went back to school-- me to get graduate degrees in Japanese/Asian Culture, he to Medical School. Throughout the years we went through different eras. The struggling school era, Markus' medical training era that went on for ages as his career bloomed, my book writing era, and of course, the glorious years of raising our 3 children. So many years have passed and I look back at them and wonder who those kids were? How did we endure?
One secret is that we communicated our dreams and goals. We talked. A lot. Brief updates over dinner. Long chats on pillows. When we had trouble, we learned to recognize the "trigger words" that set us off on a fight and avoided them. We united in front of the children, disagreeing in private. We supported each other, working together for our future, There wasn't a "me" and "you" but only an "us." We did not see our future without the other in it.
There were tough times. Anyone married as long as we would be lying if they didn't admit that. A second secret we had is "date night." Whenever times got so we were more roommates, we went out and we had to dress up like a real date. A spritz of perfume. A fresh shave. Sometimes we'd go for dinner and a movie. More often we tried some restaurant we'd never been to before. How fancy the restaurant didn't matter. It was that we were alone, without friends or children.
Now the children are grown and gone and Markus just retired. We are alone a lot and entering another "era." Gifts are not needed as much as time together. And trips... For the first time we are free to travel together without him having to arrange coverage. We just returned from a Disney cruise with our grandchildren. Those little darlings are taking center stage in this phase of our lives. But still, we are each other's Valentine. Last night we went on "date night." I dressed up, did my hair, wore sexy heels. For him. Markus put on a jacket and brought me flowers.
Our secrets to a long love really come down to communication, kindness and commitment. And romance! Remember to kiss!

Grand Moff was a title in the hierarchy of Sheev Palpatine's Galactic Empire. Wilhuff Tarkin,[1] who was put in charge of the construction of the Death Star shortly after the Empire was formed,[6] bore the title of Grand Moff. Grand Moffs were governors of "priority sectors".[7] As a symbol of their charge, Grand Moffs bore a rank insignia plaque with twelve colored squares—a row of six blue squares over a row of three red and three gold ones.[1] After the death of Emperor Palpatine and the destruction of the second Death Star, Moff Valco Pandion seized the title of Grand Moff for himself.[3] By the time of the Battle of Jakku, Randd had become Grand Moff.[4]

Federal grand jury looks into Duke Energy spill
RALEIGH, N.C. -- A federal grand jury is convening as part of a widening criminal investigation triggered by the massive Duke Energy coal ash spill that coated 70 miles of the Dan River with toxic sludge.
Prosecutors have issued at least 23 subpoenas to Duke executives and state officials.
U.S. Attorney Thomas Walker declined to comment, citing the secrecy of grand jury proceedings.
The subpoenas seek records from Duke, the North Carolina Utilities Commission and the state environmental agency. They include e-mails, memos and reports related to the Feb. 2 spill and the state's oversight of the company's nearly three dozen other coal ash dumps spread out at 14 power plants.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on November 5, 2011.
They said, "Too frail. Life expectancy uncertain." But Bob Sampson persevered and changed history. This book reveals his life.
This project's funding goal was not reached on November 5, 2011.
What If the Glass Breaks? is a project to fund publication of the story of disability-rights activist Bob Sampson. The book is being co-written by professional author Douglas Niles and Bob's daughter Patricia Sampson-Harkness, a retired special-needs teacher. It will be available in both print and ebook formats.
Bob's Story
Bob was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at age five and confined to a wheelchair by age eight, but that wasn't enough to hold him back. Growing up in the Chicago area during the Depression, he studied and worked hard, eventually earning a scholarship to law school. Before he could start classes, however, his scholarship was revoked because, he was told, "You can't practice law from a wheelchair!"
Once again Bob proved his doubters wrong, working a night job to pay for college. In this way he graduated from Loyola, then completed DePaul's three-year law course in two years, and passed the Illinois bar exam on his first attempt.
Bob went on to work for the city of Chicago, becoming a major influence in Mayor Daley's administration during the '50s and '60s. He also advised five U.S. presidents--Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter--on disability issues. In addition, he served as a vice president of United Airlines, where he acted as an important advocate for the disabled. Even before the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Bob implemented many policies to ease travel challenges for the disabled.
This great man, who was told he would not likely survive beyond his teenage years, lived to be 81, married, fathered three children, enjoyed many years as a beloved grandfather and great-grandfather, and was a regular guest on his friend Jerry Lewis' legendary telethons.
Bob inspired countless people during his life. It is our goal to keep his story alive to inspire countless more.
At the time you make a pledge, your account is not actually charged. Only after the project deadline, and only if the goal is met, will your pledge be charged.
All pledges are handled by http://Amazon.com. So if you're comfortable purchasing from Amazon, you can pledge here with confidence.
Short answer: We'd really prefer you pledge via our Kickstarter project. But if you must pledge by check, make it payable to Popcorn Press.
Longer answer: Because the purpose of Kickstarter is all or nothing--either a project is fully funded and pledges are charged, or the project is simply cancelled--any checks we receive will be held until we've reached our goal. At that point, we'll deposit the checks and use them to make a bulk pledge to Kickstarter. But if the project doesn't reach its target, we'll void the checks instead.

Marking the 30th anniversary of SCHOOL BUS FLEET's Administrator of the Year award, Editor Steve Hirano presented the award posthumously to Dennis Essary, who was killed in a motorcycle accident in Portland, Ore., on June 27 at the age of 54.
Essary's wife, Pauline, and two sons, Bryan and Mathew, accepted the award on his behalf at the National Association for Pupil Transportation's (NAPT) 2003 conference and trade show, held in early November in Salt Lake City.
At the time of his death, Essary was transportation director at Beaverton (Ore.) School District, where he had worked since 1997. He supervised more than 250 employees and oversaw the operation and maintenance of more than 250 buses and 160 other district vehicles.
Previously, Essary served as a vice president at School Bus Services in Gresham, Ore., and as transportation director at North Kansas City (Mo.) School District. He entered the pupil transportation field after serving in the Navy during the Vietnam War.
Industry stalwart
Essary was highly regarded in the pupil transportation industry, having served two terms on the NAPT's board of directors and chairing numerous committees. He also served as president of the association in 1995-96 and received its Distinguished Service Award in 1998. In all, he was an NAPT member for more than two decades.
Essary also contributed greatly to the state pupil transportation associations in Oregon and Missouri, serving as president of each. He also chaired the Missouri delegation to the 1990 National Conference on School Transportation in Warrensburg, Mo., and attended the 1995 and 2000 conferences as a delegate for Oregon.
"Dennis was one of those rare individuals who volunteer their time and energy with gusto and without reservation," said Hirano. "He also was a great resource for SCHOOL BUS FLEET, serving on our Editorial Advisory Board for several years. In fact, I feel remiss in not recognizing him with the Administrator of the Year award earlier."
In addition to receiving the Administrator of the Year award, Essary was inducted into the NAPT's Hall of Fame at the meeting in Salt Lake City.
Outside contributions
Although he was especially devoted to the pupil transportation industry, Essary also contributed his time to community projects not associated with yellow buses.
One of his greatest personal achievements was his Christian mentoring of incarcerated youth. He volunteered at a correctional facility for boys 14 to 21. His goal was simple: "Helping them to see that God's love for them is unconditional and that He has a plan for everyone. Hopefully, helping them to make fewer mistakes than I did." According to his wife, Pauline, Essary had been interested in becoming a prison chaplain. He also lent his services weekly at a community-based mediation program.

The human T-cell lymphoma (HTL) virus is a type C RNA tumor virus isolated from patients with malignancies of mature T cells. We report three patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, hypercalcemia, and antibodies to HTL virus. One patient presented with idiopathic hypercalcemia of 6 months' duration, two with striking lytic bone lesions, and two with circulating malignant lymphocytes. Malignant cells from all patients had surface markers characteristic of thymic-derived lymphocytes (T cells), and all patients had natural serum antibodies to disrupted HTL virus and to one or both viral structural proteins p19 and p24. Patients with adult peripheral T-cell lymphomas, particularly those that present with hypercalcemia and lytic bone lesions, may have antibodies to the type C RNA human tumor virus, HTL virus.

Announcement ID:
The Center for the Study of Canada at State University of New York College at Plattsburgh, in partnership with Fulbright Canada and Canadian Foreign Policy Journal (CFPJ), are pleased to convene an international scholarly conference to examine and assess the relationship between the conduct of Canadian foreign policy and the changing international political system. The conference, titled Canada in a Unipolar World: New Directions for Canadian Foreign Policy?, will be held at the High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid, New York, from October 13 to 15, 2011. Dr. Christopher Kirkey, Director of the Center for the Study of Canada, and Dr. Michael Hawes, Executive Director of Fulbright Canada, will serve as the conference coordinators. We invite submissions from junior academics, doctoral candidates and established scholars as well as practitioners. The deadline for proposals is May 1, 2011.
This conference, Canada in a Unipolar World: New Directions for Canadian Foreign Policy?, expressly seeks to analytically assess how significant changes in the international political system have impacted Canada's foreign policy goals, priorities and actions. This conference will specifically consider what effects a profound structural shift – from the post-World War II international political system, featuring only two great powers (the bipolar Cold War period of 1945-1991, headed by the United States and the Soviet Union, nations that during this time dominated the initiation and scope of diplomatic and military actions by their respective allies), to a system that today is considered unipolar (with the United States currently recognized as the sole great power) – has created in crafting and implementing foreign policy initiatives for Canada. At the same time, we are interested in the corresponding (or, perhaps, conflicting) implications of the rise of other state and non-state actors.
The focus of the conference is designed to address a wide range of issues, including:
-the theoretical implications and the practical realities of a unipolar system and how it affects Canadian foreign policy;
-how the current unipolar system differs from the bipolar order, specifically in terms of the constraints and incentives that impacted the conduct of Canadian foreign policy;
-how unipolarity impacts on Canada's international engagement with a variety of actors including states (e.g., the United States, Afghanistan, Haiti, China), international organizations (e.g., the United Nations, G-8, G-20, the OAS, the Commonwealth, La Francophonie and APEC), non-governmental organizations and alliances (e.g., NATO, NORAD);
-how the unipolar system impacts on Canada's foreign policy initiatives in key world regions including, in no particular order: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the North and the Middle East;
-how the unipolar system impacts Canadian foreign policy efforts on key international issues including climate change, security, development and human rights;
-how the unipolar system impacts Canada's commercial (trade and investment) focus in the world; and,
-which foreign policy instruments (military, economic or diplomatic) are most likely to advance Canadian foreign policy interests in a unipolar world.
Conference Participation, Timing and Results
If you are interested in submitting a proposal for the conference, please electronically forward an abstract not to exceed 300 words (explaining the theoretical approach/empirical evidence to be examined), proposed title and current vitae to the conference coordinators (firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com) no later than May 1, 2011. All submissions will be examined by a peer review panel and individuals will be contacted no later than May 15, 2011 regarding their submission. Accepted contributors will be provided with detailed writing guidelines (length, format, footnote/reference style requirements, etc). A maximum of 15 proposals will be accepted for the conference.
Confirmed participants will be required to submit their draft contributions by September 1, 2011. Manuscripts will then be forwarded to a senior scholar who will prepare a review of each paper to be presented at the conference. Five senior Canadian foreign policy/international relations scholars will each be assigned three conference papers. These scholars, grouped into five panels, will then introduce each paper and present the following:
-a summary of the key issues, findings, theoretical approach and empirical evidence of each paper; and
-substantive areas that the paper needs to take into consideration during the revision process.
Contributors will be provided an opportunity to respond to the commentary offered by the senior scholar and the floor will then be opened to general discussion from all conference participants (who will have received all of the conference papers in advance of arriving in Lake Placid), the purpose of which is to provide general and specific direction in the course of revising manuscripts.
In late October 2011, contributors will be provided with a formal written commentary/analysis of their contribution, reflecting the views and requested edits of the senior scholar as well as those of the conference coordinators, Drs. Kirkey & Hawes. Contributors will have until January 31, 2012 to undertake any requested revisions and to electronically re-submit their papers. Selected proceedings from the conference will be edited (by Kirkey & Hawes) and published as a special issue of the journal Canadian Foreign Policy Journal in 2012. Edited proceedings from the conference will form the basis of a book manuscript (co-editors Kirkey & Hawes).
Conference Support for Participants
To facilitate involvement in this project, The Center for the Study of Canada and Fulbright Canada are pleased to be able to provide conference participants the following support:
-an opening evening reception on October 13, 2011;
-full breakfast, breaks, lunch and dinner, October 14, 2011;
-lodging for two nights (arrival October 13 and departure on the morning of October 15) at the High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid; and
-a full breakfast on October 15.
Selected participants are also eligible for an honorarium of $500 to help offset travel expenses. Should you indeed require travel support, please indicate so when you submit your proposal.
We trust that you will agree that this is an exciting initiative, one which will lead to a special issue of Canadian Foreign Policy Journal and a significant new book. We encourage you to contact us with any inquiries you may have. We look forward to receiving your proposal!

Id love to see, anywhere on the line up...Flogging Molly, Frank Turner, The Skints, Steel Pulse, Less Than Jake, Underworld, Dreadzone, Tinariwen, Zion Train, Sisters Of Mercy... and Ferocious Dog :-) see y'all there....
Perks replied to FieldOfAvalon's topic in ChatHa ha, I had the same issue going to see Keavney on the Sat morning. hadnt got home till 7.30, but was up before 11 as me pal wanted to see Keavney, that was a long hard walk from bushy ground to be there for 12. Worth it though. Cracked a can when I got to the park, when I saw how far up a steep hill the bloody crows nest still was. Worth it though.

Little did Brandon Thomas know that when push came to shove against LSU, he'd finish the season playing an unfamiliar position in Clemson's milestone 11th victory. Thomas moved from left tackle to right tackle early in the Chick-fil-A Bowl and logged 103 snaps, tying him for most on an offense that wore down LSU's defense and paved the way for Chandler Catanzaro's game-winning field goal.

Today I dragged home a 27 kVA 3-phase dry-type transformer. It's old but I'm hoping still serviceable. Inside were 3 very dirty, fragile and waterstained pages stapled together which were the original build document from GS Hevi-Duty back in 1981. The wiring diagram is shown: www.tinyisland.com/images/temp/GSHevi-p3.pdf
It looks like this unit could be rewired for wye or delta for several voltages. I have a 230V RPC set up and running. Can someone give me a recommendation as to how exactly to wire this transformer? I want to power a 460V machine with it.
Grant Erwin
Use the "secondary" as the primary, connected to the phase converter (X2 joined to X3; X4 joined to X5; X6 joined to X1 per the picture)
Use the "primary" as the secondary connected to the load on the 468V setting (or the 456V setting if measuring the output shows the first to be a little too high) this would be:- tap 4 on the first winding connected to tap 2 on the second winding; tap 4 on the second winding connected to tap 2 on the third winding; tap 4 on the third winding connected to tap 2 on the first winding.
So both sets would be wired delta, but would give you the voltage that you require. You may want to ground the output by using either three wye connected chokes, or three 270V stacks of light bulbs, just to stop the output wandering too far away from ground.
Mark Rand RTFM
If a ground reference on the output is desired, just ground one corner of the delta. Corner grounded delta systems were once common in industrial practice in the US.
Sounds like the proper wiring, but I'd offer a caution. That transformer is a dry type, 26 years old, and the instructions on the inside were wet at some time.
I'd do some testing before hooking the thing up. Look for leakage line to cores, case, ( ground), at a minimum. If you don't have a megger, use line voltage. - (Careful, the secondary will be energized.) MadDog
Looks like a cool transformer and capable! And the document - looks great to me!

The EnvironmentaLIST: Revisiting 19 stirring photos from Hurricane Sandy
by Cassady Sharp
© Greenpeace / Tim Aubry
[caption id="attachment_12404" align="alignnone" width="400"] A couple stands on a patch of dry land and surveys the flooded streets of Hoboken in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.[/caption] Superstorm Sandy was a game-changing storm. After the storm ripped up the East Coast last October, killing nearly 300 people from the Caribbean to New England, Bloomberg Businessweek published an iconic cover headline reading "It's global warming, stupid." They were right. Of course storms would happen without climate change. But all the factors stirred into a storm are stronger, faster and more destructive, and Sandy was living proof. The recovery from Sandy was has been slow and expensive. According to several climate scientists, disaster specialists and economists, this is a sign of what's to come with climate change. Natural disasters will become frequent and equally as destructive costing billions of dollars in repairs and rebuilding. However, in those first stages of what may have felt like hopeless recovery from Sandy, people organized in an inspiring collective movement of what had to get done. Far Rockaway, New York was particularly devastated by the storm yet people came together to rebuild the only home most of them had. As one resident put it, "it's a collective pain."therefore it had to be a collective recovery. Greenpeace sent its solar truck, the Rolling Sunlight, to power a community store and was soon joined by other mobile solar projects including the SolaRover from Colorado. Those solar arrays would later power a Thanksgiving dinner among the rubble. These images tell stories of the unthinkable force of which our environment is capable if we mistreat it. They also tell the resilience of the human spirit and how much we're capable of when we're working together. 19.A building collapsed into floodwater near the Route 528 (Herbert Street) Bridge one day after Hurricane Sandy hit the New Jersey and New York. 18.

Special Topics in Songwriting sections are advanced-level songwriting project classes, focusing on special topics at a depth beyond that possible in general songwriting classes. Topics may include: songwriting in specific musical genres and styles; new creative work inspired by analysis of work of seminal songwriters, artists, or groups; or professional areas of focus that demand specialized songwriting knowledge and technical skills. Each course section, taught by a specific faculty member in a given semester, will vary in scope and depth of coverage of the given topic area, and in the sequence and emphasis of semester projects. Students should consult the course description for the specific section and semester, available at berklee.edu/songwriting.
A survey of the music and lyrics of Paul Simon. Paul Simon's songs represent a rich and sophisticated tapestry of emotional color, social comment, and dry humor. Each week the class will examine the recurring musical/lyrical gestures and themes found in Paul Simon's songs. The class will explore the cultural, musical, and literary influences that inform Simon's songwriting.
The field of songwriting for film and television has grown exponentially over the past few years, providing a promotional launching pad (as well as a potentially lucrative income stream) for artist and songwriter careers. This course will explore the techniques of writing music that will appeal specifically to music supervisors, editors, directors, and producers across any number of different genres. Throughout the course skills in songwriting, production, negotiation, collaboration, and establishing publishing deals will be developed, along with the opportunity to network with a variety of external music industry disciplines.
This course explores guitar techniques, particularly addressing the needs and creative processes of songwriters writing on guitar. As a second-level course building on Guitar Techniques for Songwriters (SW-236), this course extends the scope of that foundation class to include more advanced harmonic structures and instrumental techniques, and the skills required by the performing guitarist/singer/songwriter. The class first reviews key material introduced in SW-236 in accelerated form—in close and spread voicings on all stringsets. This includes basic triads in varied sequences and progressions along and across the neck; dyadic voicings with drones and power chords (1-5-1 and 5-1-5 voicings). The class then addresses non-triadic voicings, including suspensions and shell voicings; advanced right-hand finger-picking, flat-picking, and strumming techniques; riff-based writing; and selected open tunings, with exploratory techniques for mapping new tunings. The latter portion of the class moves beyond composition and writing concerns to address: arrangement of repertoire on guitar; vocal/guitar interactions in solo self-accompanied performance; finding a signature guitar sound as a writer/performer; accompanying vocalists as second guitar or in a band setting; fills and leads in a song context; and applying guitar skills in the cowriting session. As with SW-236, each session will introduce technical skills, evaluated in class. This class will follow more of a workshop and master class format, as students present entire songs for critique and review by the instructor and peers. Thus the class will also lend itself to incorporation of sessions with visiting artists and clinicians, working in a lecture-demonstration and master-class format.
This course will allow upper semester students who have never taken a songwriting course at Berklee during their first six semesters to gain knowledge about their craft as well as experience critiques of their songs. It will allow these students the opportunity to learn many of the songwriting techniques taught throughout the Berklee songwriting curriculum and to receive individual attention from an instructor from the Songwriting Department.
In this course, artists, writers, and producers team up each week in constantly changing groups of two to four students. Groups write and produce either a single for their artist or a pitch for a "Who's Looking" list of currently charting Hot 100 acts. Teams will write using several real-world methods: track-first (toplining), song-first, and song and track simultaneously. Tracks may be provided from in-class producers, or through cooperation with the Music Production and Engineering and/or Electronic Production and Design departments. Students analyze current Hot 100 singles to understand attributes of melody, harmony, lyrics, and production common to hit songs. Students discuss the relationship of technology and production to hit making, as well as the business of pitching songs. This course includes presentations with industry publishers, A&Rs, producers, and songwriters. Instructor approval is required for this class; application information is available through firstname.lastname@example.com
Advanced Lyric Writing 2 offers students a close look at their own writing process in an intimate seminar setting, focusing on individual strengths and weaknesses, tailoring assignments to each individual student's needs. We'll look especially at the rewriting process, concentrating on how and why choices are made, paying special attention to prosody. The course will demand a high level of skill and commitment. A project will be due each week.
Small group seminar designed to guide students majoring in songwriting in the preparation of their final projects.
