Absolutely beautiful view of ocean. Very quite well kept property. Condo management very polite and helpful. Condo security always on duty and enforcing property rules. This was helpful especially with parking. The inside of condo was perfect for couple or small family with a one bedroom king and a sofa bed. There was plenty of space for my wife and our two kids, however most of our time was spent on the beach or sitting on balcony watching the beach. You simply cannot find a better location for this price. The owner made this rental experience a seamless process. We will be booking again.
This condo was just perfect for my husband and me! We needed a getaway where we could slow down and relax and South Padre was the perfect place. The beach was beautiful (best I've been to without getting on a plane), the condo was cozy and location phenomenal. It was steps from the beach and on the north end of the island so it was much quieter and less crowded than the south end. We decided that this will be a great annual trip for us and look forward to staying at the condo again!
We had a wonderful week-long stay at Wake To The Waves. The reservation was easy - before arrival, the owner was very good at promptly replying to our questions and providing information regarding check-in and the South Padre area. Our arrival and check-in was smooth. The condo was literally steps from the beach with great views and easy access to the beach. One morning we actually opened the curtains and watched the sunrise from the King bed. The balcony was nice and big with sliding doors both from the living room and bedroom - it felt like you were on the beach without needing to worry about the wind or sunburn. We were also able to watch the fireworks from the balcony on Friday night. The unit was in good condition - very clean, well maintained, new bath towels and kitchen towels, new baking sheets, and well stocked with plates, utensils, cookware, even a coffee bean grinder and crockpot. It was also nice to have a TV both in the living room and in the bedroom. We were pleasantly surprised to find boogie boards, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and sand castle toys for our use. We were thankful that it was pet friendly - we were able to bring our dog - and there were green areas on the property as well as waste bags and disposal cans. The property was well maintained, the pool was warm and inviting, and the other guests were families - no loud obnoxious partying. We had a great time and would highly recommend this property! In regards to activities: Sea Turtle, Inc. (sea turtle rescue/rehabilitation center within walking distance, small price for admission), Whaling Wall (artist mural of killer whales located at the Convention Center), Pier 19 (great sunset views near Port Isabel), Clayton's Beach Bar & Grill (next door and convenient). We also felt safe running and biking on Padre Boulevard - there is a sidewalk or dedicated bike lane. Tip: Stock up on groceries/supplies and gas at the HEB or Super Walmart in Port Isabel - prices are MUCH cheaper than on the island.
This was the perfect spot for our Mother's Day getaway! We wanted an ocean view and we got just that! No the place wasn't the newest but it had great charm! Renovations had been made and it was just ideal for us. Only question we had was really about some of the checkout requirements (e.g. removing all of the bed sheets ourselves) and this was only because we knew there was a cleaning service so it seemed unnecessary if they would be coming in after. Still that was minor for us and we really enjoyed the stay.
One of the days we were there the winds really picked up and with a 4 month old baby it just didn't seem ideal for us to be on the beach. We opted to stay in the room and hang out on the balcony. The room is so perfectly situated that it didn't matter at all! In fact, we loved it! It's conveniently located near Clayton's but really you are a short drive to so many restaurants and stores. Looking forward to staying here again!
We had a great time. The view was amazing. Great easy beach access with everything we needed in the condo. The beach was a bit more of a party than our young family wanted on Saturday and Sunday afternoon and evening but with the sound proof glass of the condo, once in side you didn't hear a thing. We enjoyed eating dinner and hanging out on the patio. Great beach vacation!
The condo is in a great location. The owner was responsive and the property front desk super polite. When we arrived, we noticed the condo was not well cleaned, was missing extra sheets for the futon bed (which was damaged), dirty dishes were in the cupboards, we had to bleach the dehumidifier to help remedy a strange smell, nearly all of the lightbulbs in the main room were burnt out, there was mold on the pillows stored in a closet for use on the futon bed. No bath soap was provided which is an unpleasant surprise when you arrive late and want to shower before bed. The four towels provided didn't seem clean but they didn't smell bad either. In retrospect, I would have washed them before using. When asking for soap, lightbulbs, sheets, etc., from the front desk we were always told very politely it is an owner managed property and there isn't anything they can do for us. WIFI was down in our unit for all but our last day there. The condo is fine on the surface but lacks attention to detail. The price is right -- but you definitely get what you pay for. I would recommend it to people traveling without kids and/or who aren't caught up in details.
Other Activities: Boating, Miniature Golf
Golf: South Padre Island Golf Club is located in Laguna Vista which is 15 miles from the condo.

Dotty Lemieux: All is not gloom and doom for the Golden State after all. And if we tackle the inequities in Proposition 13, especially the ones favoring the largest corporate abusers, the outlook could become all the more rosy.
The Hypocrisy of Current Initiatives to "Improve Teacher Quality"
Mark Naison: Teach For America has done NOTHING to improve the quality of the teaching profession. And their policies are symptomatic of an ideological trap that all Education Reformers have fallen into.
Serena Williams and Getting "Emotional" for Title IX
Dave Zirin: When Serena had to field the "emotions" question on the highest possible stage, it was for me a window into why so many women and men celebrated the recent 40th anniversary of the passage of Title IX.
Redistricting and California's African Americans
Jasmyne Cannick: The bottom line is that they can draw all the Black voter-friendly districts they want but if Blacks continue on this mass exodus to the South, there won't be enough Blacks left to vote anyone into office and the ones that are left won't have the same adoration for the political process as their ancestors.
Countdown to Shutdown
Tom Degan: My guess is that, like in '94, this is going to blow up in their clueless faces. I certainly hope so. Watching the utter implosion of the Republican party is an absolute joy that is difficult to put into words. I can barely contain myself.
Sexual Assault Coverage by Media Shows Double Standard
Walter Brasch: For the news media to continue to adhere to some puritanical belief that they are protecting womanhood by not reporting names and details perpetuates the myth that rape is purely a sexual intrusion, and not the brutal attack it truly is.
Where Have America's Good-Paying Jobs Gone?
Tracy Emblem: Americans should be angered because they lost good-paying American jobs, and American taxpayers unwittingly through federal foreign aid helped pay for the development of roads, utilities, and manufacturing plants in foreign countries competing for U.S. workers' jobs.
Put Jobless Young People to Work Cleaning Up BP's Mess on BP's Dime
Robert Reich: Friday's job report was awful. For most new high school and college grads finding a job is harder than ever. Meanwhile, states are cutting summer jobs for disadvantaged young people. What to do with this army of young unemployed? Send them to the Gulf to clean up beaches and wetlands, and send the bill to BP.
How Democrats Can Reclaim the Youth Vote
Paul Loeb: Dashed hopes also matter. Politics may be the art of compromise, but from health care to Guantanamo to Afghanistan and the bank bailouts, the compromises of the Obama administration have added up to belie the image of a candidacy of change.
Political Predictions for 2010
Paul Hogarth: California desperately needs to abolish the two-thirds requirement to pass a state budget, and even an amendment that does not include taxes would be incremental progress. But unless labor unions start putting real money in this effort, and the Democratic Party makes it the priority it must be, it's going to get lost in the shuffle – and we won't have what it takes to run a winning campaign.
President Obama the Liberal Nationalist
Inauguration Day, 2009 in Washington, DC was grueling but inspiring. The minus 8 degree cold was bone-chilling. The crowd of two million plus was frequently suffocating. The 20,000-officer security cordon was smothering. Yet people endured the discomfort good-naturedly. Neither cold nor crowds nor mile-long detours from blocks of blocked off streets would deter Obama's faithful […]
Will "Feminists for Obama" Help Us at DNC?

After 25 years of bankrupting my family with my reading obsession, I decided to try my hand at writing my own novels. It still amazes me to this day that people are actually interested in the stuff that comes out of my imagination. It can be a real mess up there.
I live in the great Northwest region of the USA, with my gorgeous husband and soul mate, six very active teenagers, two boxer/collie puppies, two old biddy cats, and three fish. When I'm not being a mother to my six teenagers or cleaning up after my two 70 pound lap puppies, you can usually find me cuddled in bed with a book in my hand and a puppy in my lap. Or on my laptop, creating the next sexy man for one of my stories.

Hi, welcome to my 1up. I've been playing games my whole life. I started out on the atari 2600 and have played all the way up to the Playstation 3. I'm usually nostalgic now when it comes to games. I usually prefer playing games on the NES/Sega Genesis than xbox 360 or ps3. My main preference is older PC games made by Sierra Entertainment. I have a large collection of these games and enjoy playing them everytime.

Ridge, others stump for Romney
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge returned to his hometown Friday afternoon to support Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
He and other GOP officials addressed a standing-room-only crowd of about 250 at the Erie County Republican headquarters, 2206 W. 15th St., as part of Romney's "Can't Afford Four More'' campaign bus tour in Pennsylvania.
Throughout his 15-minute address, Ridge discussed several issues, including Romney's five-point economic plan, foreign policy, the presidential debates and what he believes Pennsylvania voters want for the future.
"We need a decisive, problem-solving president, and a president with a vision,'' said Ridge, a former secretary of Homeland Security. "Gov. Romney has that. We also need a president who is accountable.''
Referring to the Nov. 6 presidential election, Ridge said he believes "the margin in Pennsylvania is very, very thin.''
"I think it can still go either way in spite of what the pundits say,'' he said.
Ridge said Romney came across in the three presidential debates as a calm, confident executive who has a plan and a vision for the economy and America's role in the future.
"I think people now are focusing more and more on the fact he has a vision for America for tomorrow,'' Ridge said. "The president has basically said, if elected, he'll do more of the same. More of the same doesn't compute into a better and stronger America.''
When Ridge entered the Republican headquarters to an ovation, Kathey Scheuer, 65, of McKean, stood in the front row.
She wore a Romney-Ryan 2012 T-shirt covered with political buttons and waived a small American flag.
"What brought me out here today is the enthusiasm that Romney is bringing to us now,'' Scheuer said.
"We feel he has shown us a way of going forward in this country. We don't want to lose our country and that's where we're heading.''
Friday's Erie bus entourage included appearances by Ron Kaufman, a Republican National Committee official from Massachusetts; Christine Toretti, a Republican National Committee official from Pennsylvania; and U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, of Butler, R-3rd Dist.
The group visited Erie after earlier campaign bus stops Friday in Greensburg and Pittsburgh.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Lynn Swann also was scheduled to appear in Erie, but did not make the trip.
A campaign official said Swann returned to Pittsburgh after the second campaign stop so he could watch his son play football Friday night.
RON LEONARDI can be reached at 870-1680 or by e-mail.

Report: OK St. Had Drug Issues
Former Oklahoma State football players have said that the program was plagued by widespread drug use, that often there were dealers on the team and that the school helped keep stars eligible despite positive tests, according to Sports Illustrated's latest installment on the Cowboys.
"Drugs were everywhere," said Donnell Williams, an OSU linebacker in 2006, who said he didn't use drugs himself, according to SI.com.
In all, 30 players told SI that they used marijuana when they were members of the football team. Players told the publication that some teammates even used drugs before games.
"[Against] teams we knew we were going to roll, a couple of guys would get high," Calvin Mickens, a cornerback at Oklahoma State from 2005 to 2007, said, according to SI. "Some of the guys, [it] didn't matter what game it was, they were going to get high."
Three former players admitted to SI that they dealt drugs in the 2001, 2004 and 2006 seasons, while others said former teammates dealt drugs during seven other seasons.

My husband Steve and I are living with our daughter Julia in Boulder, CO. We love going to Crestone to get away from our busy life in Boulder. We love the quietness, the Crestone community, the Crestone Retreat Centers and in general, the more relaxed life style of the San Luis Valley. We try to spend as much time in Crestone as possible. When we are away from Crestone, we like to open this beautiful, peaceful place to visitors trying to get away from their busy lives.
The Owner purchased this house in 2006
Our Crestone home is very open and light. Especially when you open the three doors it gives you a feeling of living within nature. No neighbors are close by. It is very quiet.
We love Crestone for it's beauty, the Crestone Peaks to the East and the San Luis Valley to the West. There is so much to do around Crestone: hiking, photography, biking, rock climbing, visiting historic sites, hot springs, skiing, just to mention a few.
Or family had a great time here. Tons to do, awesome location. Great views.
This spot was as described. Very nice comfortable place with fantastic views. We loved it, and both of us wished we had more time here. Being novice to the area it would have been helpful to have some specific directions for where we might go for simple hikes, but we found plenty to do without that. Communications from the owner were great, and very helpful directions. Crestone is a throwback to the late 60's and very interesting place and the "Great Sand Dunes park" is amazing. Loved the area. and this nice place.
My wife and I had a wonderful time staying here; it's such a peaceful place we can't wait to get back. This home is in immaculate condition and has all of the comforts needed to enjoy the beautiful landscape. We can't wait to go back!
My first of what will be many rentals of this property. Very accurately represented, a tranquil environment with lots of friendly wildlife in the neighborhood. Great instructions from the Owners, what more does one need?
As described. Owners had excellent communication. Home had beautiful views all around. Clean, well stocked, inviting. We could not ask for anything more. Tranquil. Owners provided great information about everything.
Returned for a third time. Highly recommended. Very clean house, quiet setting, fantastic views.

Community Health Needs Assessment
During 2012 and 2013, Hallmark Health System's (HHS) Community Services Department undertook a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) process with support from the Institute for Community Health. The goal of this assessment was to better understand the needs and assets of the communities in Hallmark Health System's service catchment area. The assessment will guide HHS's community benefits planning and its efforts over the next three years to identify and address gaps in community needs. The assessment process meets the dual requirements of the Internal Revenue Service, United States Treasury Department and Community Benefits guidelines for acute care hospitals set forth by the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General.
The CHNA uses a mixed-methods approach, looking at a variety of health topic areas and social factors across the area. This includes review of secondary community health data across a variety of socio-demographic, youth and health indicators; interviews with 18 key community leaders and stakeholders, asking about top health concerns and vulnerable populations, community assets and resources and analysis of 387 community surveys completed by area residents, collecting information about health concerns, behaviors and needs. Also included in the assessment is a review of assets and resources across the area and the perspectives of medically underserved community members and stakeholders with public health expertise.
Community Benefits Needs Assessment Executive Summary and Final Report
Bound copies of the CHNA are available for review by request of the public at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Melrose-Wakefield Hospital, as well at HHS locations in Malden, Medford, Reading and Stoneham.
Hallmark Health is in the process of developing its 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment. As part of process, to be completed by September 2016, HHS is actively soliciting community feedback around current and emerging health priorities, as well as the priorities and strategies identified in the 2013 Community Health Needs Assessment and 2014-16 Implementation plan. The 2016 CHNA will be posted online and available in hard copy at multiple HHS locations.

Lauryn Hill heads to prison
Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill stood in federal court Monday and compared her experience in the music business to the slavery her ancestors endured before a judge sentenced her to three months in prison for failing to pay about $1 million in taxes over the past decade.
"I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them," Hill said before U.S. Magistrate Madeline Cox Arleo. "I had an economic system imposed on me."
Hill, who started singing with the Fugees as a teenager in the 1990s before releasing her multiplatinum 1998 album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," pleaded guilty in 2012 to failing to pay taxes on more than $1.8 million earned from 2005 to 2007. Monday's sentencing also took into account unpaid state and federal taxes in 2008 and 2009 that brought the total earnings to about $2.3 million.
Despite having paid more than $900,000 in the past several days, Hill still owes interest and penalties, the U.S. attorney's office said.
In addition to serving three months in prison, Hill must pay a $60,000 fine. After she is released from prison, she will be under parole supervision for a year, the first three months of which will be spent under home confinement.
Led Zeppelin rejected Clinton's pleas to reunite
It's a diplomatic failure at the highest level: Bill Clinton couldn't get Led Zeppelin to reunite.
The former president was enlisted to ask the British rock gods to get back together last year for the Superstorm Sandy benefit concert in New York City. He asked, they said no.
David Saltzman of the Robin Hood Foundation said he and film executive Harvey Weinstein flew to Washington to ask Clinton to make the plea. Led Zeppelin's surviving members Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page were in Washington just before the Sandy concert for the Kennedy Center Honors.
Led Zeppelin last played publicly at a one-night reunion in London in 2007.
Police investigate mugging of CNN anchor Costello
Atlanta police are investigating after a CNN anchor reported that her iPhone was snatched from her hand as she strolled down a street in the city's midtown section.
Police said Carol Costello was talking on the phone while walking around 4:30 p.m. when two teenagers ran up from behind and grabbed the phone.
Costello said she struggled with one suspect as she tried to keep her phone, but when he pulled out a chunk of her hair, she let go.
"I felt no fear at the time, I was just angry," she said. "Now I'm angry, shaken and sad. What a lousy life those kids have ahead of them."
Mary Kay Place donates items to Oklahoma museum
The Oklahoma Legislature recognized award-winning actress and Tulsa native Mary Kay Place Monday for her donation to a planned popular culture museum in Tulsa.
The star of "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" and "The Big Chill" was honored with special receptions in the House and Senate lounges. She donated costumes and other items from her career.
Oklahoma Historical Society officials are lobbying the Legislature to pay for the proposed Tulsa museum. The planned 75,000-square-foot, four-story building would be dedicated to the influence of Oklahoma artists on popular culture. Supporters are also raising private donations for the project.
The Republican-controlled House has opposed any attempt to pass bond issues, including one to fund the museum's construction.

I have the same issue, on a Latitude E6420 laptop. No sound at all, unless I downgrade the kernel.
Does the problem still exist with the latest kernel (3.12)?

Timothy Mangin is an ethnomusicologist and musician researching the intersection of popular music, race, ethnicity, religion, and cosmopolitanism in West Africa and the African Diaspora. He received his doctorate from Columbia University in 2013 and received fellowships from the Columbia University's Center for Comparative Literature and Society, St. Lawrence University's Department of Music, Mellon Foundation, the Foreign Language Areas Studies Program and a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Research Abroad Program. He taught at Columbia University, New York University, St. Lawrence University, and the City University of New York. An improvisational flutist, Tim founded St. Lawrence University's Jazz and Improv Ensemble and also studies mbira and is a member of Capoeira Brasil. His writings have appeared in the edited volumes Begegnungen: The World Meets Jazz and Uptown Conversations: The New Jazz Studies as well as reviews in The Yearbook for Traditional Music and Ethnomusicology On-Line. Tim is working on a book examining indigenous cosmopolitanism through the intersection of the Senegalese urban dance music called mbalax and the practice of black, Wolof (the dominant ethnic group), gendered, and Muslim identities. He is also exploring blackness in Senegalese hip hop and the dynamics of improvisation in New York City's underground hip hop and jazz scene. The Digital Humanities is a key part of Tim's pedagogy and research that began when he worked at Columbia's Institute for Research in African American Studies on the Malcolm X Project, under the direction Manning Marable, and further developed with students at The City College of New York. Dr. Mangin's Columbia PhD dissertation, on Senegalese mbalax, was advised by Prof. George Lewis.
Lauren Flood earned the Ph.D. in Ethnomusicology from Columbia in 2015. She researches sound technologies and experimental instrument building practices in the contexts of the do-it-yourself ethos, maker culture, and popular and experimental music scenes. She held a Whiting Fellowship for her dissertation, "Building and Becoming: DIY Music Technology in New York and Berlin," with fieldwork supported by the Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies and the National Science Foundation. Lauren's work is situated at the nexus of music, anthropology, sound studies, and science and technology studies. She engages with dialogs on critical organology, creativity and knowledge production, histories and aesthetics of sound and recording practices, vernacular technologies and everydayness, ethics and labor in the music industry, alternative methods in science and technology education, and the contemporary sense of self as mediated through the arts.
At Columbia, she has been a teaching fellow in Music Humanities and Asian Music Humanities, the graduate assistant for the Center for Ethnomusicology, an editorial board member and reviews editor for Current Musicology, and on the organizing committee of the Columbia Music Scholarship Conference. She has presented her work at annual meetings of the Society for Ethnomusicology, the American Anthropological Association, the Society for the Social Studies of Science, and the EMP Pop Conference.
Prior to her graduate studies, Lauren completed her undergraduate degree at Drexel University, with a major in music industry and a minor in anthropology. While living in Philadelphia, she studied and performed as a guitarist, worked in copyrights and licensing, and assisted with research at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. She also completed field schools in Latin American ethnomusicology and archaeology, maintaining a long-standing interest in Mesoamerica and the modern Mayan region.
Dr. Flood's Columbia PhD dissertation was advised by Prof. Ana Maria Ochoa.
The Center for Ethnomusicology warmly congratulates our alumnus Dr. Nicholas (Niko) Higgins, (PhD, Ethnomusicology, 2013), who has been appointed to a (renewable) Guest Faculty position at Sarah Lawrence College.
Dr. Higgins' PhD dissertation is entitled "Confusion in the Karnatic Capital: Fusion in Chennai, India." It was advised by Prof. Christopher Washburne. Dr. Higgins has previously taught at Columbia University and at The New School.
Andrew J. Eisenberg is Assistant Professor of Music at NYU Abu Dhabi. He was Visiting Assistant Professor of Music and
Anthropology at Bard College in 2013-14, and at NYUAD in 2014-15. Between 2011 and 2013, he served as
Postdoctoral Research Associate in charge of the Kenya portion of the
ERC Music and Digitisation Programme, while also holding a junior
research fellowship at St. Catherine's College, Oxford. He earned a PhD
in ethnomusicology from Columbia University in 2009, with a dissertation
on vocal expression, emplacement and citizenship among marginalized
Muslims of Kenya's 'Swahili coast'. A book based on his dissertation is
slated for completion in 2014. Its working title is Sound and
Citizenship: Voice, Place, and Belonging on Kenya's 'Swahili Coast'.Andrew
has published articles and chapters in the journal Africa, The New
Encyclopedia of Africa (Scribner), Anthropology News, and the volume
Music, Sound and Space: Transformations of Public and Private Experience
(ed. Georgina Born, Cambridge University Press). He is currently
writing three articles for the Music and Digitisation Project. Based on a
year of fieldwork in Nairobi, they examine how Kenya's music recording
industry has been, and continues to be, transformed by the digital
revolution, the liberalisation of mass media and telecommunications, and
intellectual property rights reform.
Andrew has previously held visiting posts
at Northwestern University and Stony Brook University, where he has
taught courses in African and African American music, and
ethnomusicological theory and method
The Center for Ethnomusicology warmly congratulates Dr. Nili Belkind, a 2014 alumna of the Columbia Ethnomusicology PhD Program, who has been awarded a two-year Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities-Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Humanities, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Dr. Belkind's Columbia dissertation is entitled Music in conflict: Palestine, Israel, and the politics of aesthetic production. It was sponsored (advised) by Prof. Christopher Washburne. The dissertation is an ethnographic study of the fraught and complicated cultural politics of music making in Israel-Palestine in the context of the post-Oslo era, a time of highly polarized sentiments and general retreat from the expressive modes of relationality that accompanied the 1990s peace process. In it, she examines the politics of sound and the ways in which music making and attached discourses reflect and constitute identities, and also, contextualize political action. Ethical and aesthetic positions that shape contemporary artistic production in Israel-Palestine are informed by profound imbalances of power between the State (Israel), the stateless (Palestinians of the oPt), the complex positioning of Israel's Palestinian minority, and contingent exposure to ongoing political violence.
Congratulations Nili!
The Center for Ethnomusicology warmly congratulates Dr. Jessica Schwartz, currently completing her two year term as a Mellon Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in the Department, who has been appointed Assistant Professor of Musicology at The University of California, Los Angeles!
Dr. Schwartz holds the PhD in Ethnomusicology from New York University, where she completed a dissertation entitled: "Resonances of the Atomic Age: Hearing the Nuclear Legacy in the United States and the Marshall Islands, 1945-2010," advised by Prof. Jairo Moreno. She has published articles in, among other places, Transactions of the Royal Historical Society,Women and Music, and Music&Politics. Dr. Schwartz is also the founder of the Marshallese Educational Initiative, Inc., a not-for-profit organization dedicated to expanding educational opportunities for Marshallese and raising awareness of Marshallese issues.
The Department of Music congratulates alumna Dr. Maria Sonevysky (PhD,
Ethnomusicology, 2012). Dr. Sonevytsky has been appointed as Assistant
Professor of Music at Bard College, beginning in 2014. Prior to taking
up the position at Bard, Dr. Sonevysky will be a Postdoctoral Fellow at
the Centre for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies at the University
of Toronto for 2013-14. read more »

Mattel Uses Own 'Barbie Labs' to Test for Lead
The Associated Press reports that El Segundo-headquartered Mattel Inc. has been granted an exemption from a federal law requiring that toy makers have their products tested for lead
content at third-party laboratories. Instead, the makers of Barbie dolls and Hot Wheels will be allowed to test its products in-house at Mattel's own labs. The story, which was carried in the L.A. Times and Long Beach Press-Telegram, claims that Consumer Product Safety Commission "quietly" granted Mattel's request to self-test its products after concluding that "Mattel proved its case that its labs were insulated from undue corporate influence." Mattel's labs are located in Mexico, China, Indonesia and California.
Last year, following a wave of discoveries about lead-contaminated toys, Congress passed a law mandating that, among other requirements, plastic toys made for children under the age of 12 be evaluated by independent laboratories. Now, the consumer protection agency charged with enforcing that program has let Mattel police itself -- even though Mattel recalled six toys, involving two million units, for lead contamination in 2007 and last June paid a $2.3 million fine for violating a ban on using lead paints.
Michael Green, executive director of the Oakland-based Center for Environmental Health, is quoted by AP as saying Mattel's getting a pass to test its own toys gives the company a major economic advantage over smaller companies that must pay high fees to independent labs. The CEH, ironically, is the recipient of penalty money paid by Mattel to California's Toy Testing and Outreach Fund. The fund grew out of a successful lawsuit
filed in 2007 by state attorney General Jerry Brown and L.A. city attorney Rocky Delgadillo. CEH has used the money to offer free lead testing of toys to Bay Area consumers.

Linux Distributions Compared
This relative newcomer SoftCraft Linux, by SolutionS R Us) has relatively few packages, each of which contains many files. Craftworks Linux comes with a boot floppy, a CD-ROM, and a manual.
We ran up against one bit of confusion right away: as soon as we booted from the provided floppy, an unclear copyright message was presented that seemed to appropriate title to Linux and seemed to attempt to legally restrict the user from installing the product on more than one machine.
Following our own advice, we contacted Craftworks and asked their intention. They confirmed that their intention was only to protect their own proprietary software included with the distribution, and that they allow users to install the product on as many systems as they wish. They do claim compilation copyright on the CD-ROM and the floppy, which means that they restrict the user from making any verbatim copies of either the CD-ROM or the floppy except for backup purposes. However, they in no way intend to restrict re-distribution of any included free software, and they promised to resolve the issue by making their copyright licensing terms and notices much clearer in future versions of the product.
The installation was fairly simple; Craftworks provides three pre-selected sets of packages to install (other packages can be installed separately after the base installation has been completed). This makes it quite simple to install a simple but usable Linux system fairly quickly.
While Softcraft claims compliance with the Linux File System Standard (the "FSSTND"), the default locations that come with many free software packages have been accepted, and so they expressly violate the FSSTND by installing several packages in the /usr/local hierarchy. They don't include documentation (at least in the manual) on how and where they deviate from the FSSTND, either. However, most of the base system does appear to follow the FSSTND.
A Softcraft system with extra packages (more than the base system) installed feels something like a SunOS system with an active system administrator. Plenty of files are in /usr/local (including Emacs), and other files are tucked away in other various corners; for example, Postgres95 is in the /usr/local/postgres95/ directory. Softcraft responds that they do this so that users familiar with commercial versions of Unix will feel comfortable.
The X configuration was very simple—there were only two questions to answer (type of mouse and type of video board). However, this provides a 640x480 pixel X configuration; to get any better resolution, the user is instructed to edit the /etc/XF86Config file by hand.
Craftworks' home page is at www.craftwork.com.
Linux Universe is a book with simple installation and configuration instructions and a small reference, which includes a CD with a Linux distribution on it. It's translated from German, and the distribution on it is also apparently translated from German, since some of the comments in the scripts are still in German.
While it is completely ELF-based, the version available at the time of testing used the version 4 ELF library, not the new version 5 ELF libraries used by all the other ELF-based distributions. When Linux Universe was produced, the version 5 libraries were still in alpha testing and not ready for release. However, we have been assured that the new version, which should be available in stores by the time you read this, will have the version 5 ELF libraries. If you wish to run Linux binaries other than those included with the system, make sure you get the newer version.
Also unlike any of the other Linux distributions here, it doesn't include LILO. Instead, it provides a full-screen boot manager somewhat like OS/2's boot manager, which is easy to configure and is able to read ext2fs file systems—so it is able to boot any kernel on an ext2fs file system, not just ones that have been specially configured, as with LILO. However, the full-screen loader is itself loaded by a very simple loader that can be confusing to the new user. It requires you to remember which partitions of which drives hold the operating systems you want to boot.
Linux Universe is intended to be a companion to Linux—Unleashing the Workstation in your PC, by the same authors, and you can purchase Linux Universe alone or in a kit with its companion volume. If you are not already familiar with Linux (or at least Unix), you will want to purchase the whole kit, not just Linux Universe.
Linux Universe is designed (like Yggdrasil) to be run with the system CD in the drive, so that even packages that are not installed on the hard drive can still be run. Linux Universe adds technology which causes files accessed on the CD to be automatically copied to the hard drive for future access. The same design is used to install and run it from an NFS server.
The graphical configuration utility is simple to use and seems to work well. It works quickly and intelligently. When filling out the networking configuration, for example, it guesses most of the information once you type in the IP address.
You can find Linux Universe on the Web at www.springer-ny.com/samples/linux/linux.html.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Woodbine: Magic Broomstick rallies to win Bessarabian
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Magic Broomstick ($9.60) closed strongly under Emma Wilson to take the $153,400 Bessarabian Stakes over a sharp Wyomia at Woodbine Saturday.
With a cold wind at her back, Silent Serenity set honest fractions in the seven-furlong sprint for the fillies and mares. Magic Broomstick bided her time in sixth on the backstretch, and commenced a five-wide rally on the turn before overtaking Wyomia late to score by 1 1/4 lengths in 1:22.29.
Atlantic Hurricane, the 2-1 favorite, finished another neck back in third, after altering course around rivals early in the lane. Actionontwo and Forest Uproar were scratched, reducing the field size to nine.
The Grade 3 Bessarabian was the third consecutive stakes triumph for Magic Broomstick, who banked $90,000 for Sam-Son Farm and trainer Malcolm Pierce. According to Sam-Son's Michael Balaz, it was the 6-year-old mare's final start.
"She'll be going to Kentucky to be bred," said Balaz. "The ideal of this year was to get some stakes wins, which she more than did. She'll be a wonderful addition to our broodmare band."

Q: The lilac bushes that I planted in 2009 did not bloom last year and only had three buds the year before. They have doubled in size in that time and have had plenty of leaves , so I know they're healthy, but they don't bloom. Any idea why? — Jim D
A: There are a few reasons why your lilacs may not be blooming. Lilacs form flowers on on one-year-old plant growth. Here are some questions to ask yourself. You said you planted the bushes in 2009—were the plants a year old when you planted them? Did you have a late freeze last year? A late freeze may have prevented the flowers from blooming. If the lack of blooming was due to a late freeze, your lilac bush should be fine this year—as long as there isn't another late freeze. The other causes may be due to lack of sunlight or pollinating insects. Does your lilac bush get adequate sunlight? Do bees and other pollinating insects frequent the area around the lilacs? Providing plenty of sunshine and an enticing area for pollinating insects can do wonders. Lastly, pests may prevent blooms from occurring. Did you notice any pest damage on the tree? By process of elimination you will most likely be able to solve the mystery of your non-blooming lilacs.
The good news is that all of these reasons for non-blooming lilacs are easily corrected.
2013 update: By process of elimination, we determined that our lilac bushes was not getting enough sunlight. Following Shelley's advice, we moved them to a much sunnier location, and this year they have buds on almost every branch. Thanks for the help! –Jim D

Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing in REO-to-Rental Programs
The REO-to-Rental program is particularly intriguing from a fair housing perspective. In January 2012, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) launched its REO-to-Rental program, which converts pools of foreclosed REO properties held by the government-sponsored enterprises into affordable rental properties. Fair housing advocates viewed this program as a new opportunity for affordable rental properties in less-segregated, low-poverty communities—that is, until they discovered that the FHFA and the Department of the Treasury had made no effort to conform the new program to the requirements of the federal Fair Housing Act. This article discusses how the federal agencies responsible for the REO-to-Rental program can take advantage of this opportunity in the future, even if it has so far eluded them.

For more than 80 years, the Cape Cinema in Dennis, Massachusetts has operated as a truly unique venue for movies, performance events and live music. Raymond Moore, founder of the historic Cape Playhouse, opened the Cinema in 1930 with funding from Edna B. Tweedy. The building's façade was designed by prominent New York architect Alfred Easton Poor and modeled after the Congregational Church in Centerville, Mass. The auditorium is designed in the style of Art Deco and includes 317 individual arm chairs of black lacquer and tangerine suede produced by the Frankl Galleries in New York. The Cinema is perhaps most famous for the 6,400 square foot mural on the auditorium ceiling, designed by American painter, printer and illustrator Rockwell Kent, depicting a vision of the heavens offering comets, galaxies and constellations alongside pairs of dancing lovers.
The Raymond Moore Foundation oversees the 26-acre grounds surrounding the Cape Cinema, the Cape Playhouse and the Cape Cod Museum of Art.

We're just 20 days away from the 2011 NBA draft.
NBA teams have three weeks to figure out what they will be doing on draft day. Should they keep their pick? Will they trade up or down in the draft? Every team has several options as to do what do on draft day, and some teams have even more.
Seven teams have two first-round picks this year. So just how many trades will we see on draft day?
Will anyone surpass Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams as the top prospects? Is Jimmer Fredette a lock for the lottery? There are so many questions out there before draft day.
Stay tuned throughout the day as I update you on the latest news and rumors surrounding the 2011 NBA draft.

Liberal Opinion Week
Elections are about enthusiasm.
Pundits will tell you, for example, that Virginia is a purple state. They are wrong. Virginia is sometimes a red state and sometimes a blue state but never a purple state.
An unenthusiastic Virginia - when only 2.2 million people vote - is red. Any Democrat will have an extremely difficult time breaking 50 percent statewide when turnout is 2.2 million voters. Thus in the 2013 governor's race, Terry McAuliffe actually lost the overall vote by about 5 percentage points, when 2.2 million voted, but the non-Democratic vote was split between a Republican and a tea partyer (who got 6.5 percent of the vote) running on the Libertarian line, giving McAuliffe his 2.5-percentage-point win. And in 2014, another unenthusiastic year, more or less the same 2.2 million voted, making Virginia again a red state. Democratic Sen. Mark Warner - the most popular politician statewide - lost the overall vote by more than a percentage point. But the tea partyer again ran and got 2.4 percent of the vote, giving Warner his slim win over Republican Ed Gillespie.

Admit it. After the terrorist attacks in Brussels this past week, after the brief reflection for those lost or wounded and the sense of "oh, no, not again" passed, other thoughts quickly followed. My own selfish but natural worry, as a mother of three: Should we cancel that trip to Europe this summer?
And the questions I've fielded from family and friends, as a professional in homeland security and counterterrorism in the nearly 15 years since 9/11, have varied but never ceased: Should I buy a gun? (Only with training and safety measures at home, and certainly not to combat Islamic terrorists.) Is Times Square safe on New Year's Eve? (Like every crowd scene, you have to stay alert, but security is high at events like that.) Or my personal favorite, because it combines parental insecurities with disaster management: Is Tulane a good school so many years after Hurricane Katrina? (Yes; it had a few rough months, but your kid should still apply.)
All these queries about a world in mayhem boil down to: Is my family safe? The answer is both simple and liberating: No, not entirely. America was built vulnerable, and thank goodness for that.
Seldom in American politics has a major party offered more evidence of self-destruction than the Republicans are displaying right now in their quest for a 2016 presidential nominee.
Starting with an inflated field of 17 unimpressive candidates, now whittled down to three -- New York celebrity businessman Donald Trump, freshman Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich -- the GOP has been putting on an image-crushing circus.
By lack of political skill or just plain spinelessness, the shattered party establishment has enabled Trump to hijack the party of Lincoln, Reagan and, yes, the Bushes. It is headed toward the brink of a Goldwater-proportion defeat in November, leaving a shell from which to rebuild a very uncertain future.
The GOP establishment first pinned much of its hopes on the well-heeled candidacy of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, he of the Trump-described "low energy." Now it is scrambling to avert a train wreck with The Donald at the controls.
The 2016 Republican presidential primary season seems like a long, frightening dream. Except the source of terror is real. It comes in the form of Donald John Trump Sr. - the white man's Marion Barry - who stands a good chance of becoming the Republican nominee for president of the United States. A nightmare awaits.
How could it be otherwise? If ever bestowed presidential powers, Trump would be in a position to inflict great harm on the nation and world.
To think: Trump is closer to reaching the White House than any other Republican beneath our spacious skies or above our fruited plain.
And to think: Ruling-class politicians and pundits muffled their guffaws when he announced his presidential run in June. Here Trump stands, vilified but triumphant, basking in the support of hordes of Republicans, holding the upper hand over a vanquished Republican establishment.
The poor souls were clueless.
"There are many ways I can help end abortion. I will fight for each and every one of them. " ... "I would strongly support legislation restricting federal courts from hearing cases like Roe v. Wade." ".....married with kids versus unmarried with kids is the difference between living in poverty and not." The author of these comments, strangely inconsistent as they are, is long gone from the Republican presidential race but the tone has not changed. In fact, Dr. Rand Paul's remarks are rather mild compared to the current atmosphere, so much so that his name has mostly faded from memory.
The volume is perhaps louder, the remarks just as controversial, or more so than in the earlier days of this campaign. The caliber of the candidates as they have been narrowed down is just as questionable and even more frightening. There really hasn't been much of promise in the choices. I speak of the Republicans because that is the source of the most noise.
At his rallies, Donald Trump's supporters carry signs that read, "The Silent Majority Stands with Trump." On Twitter, his supporters invoke the slogan to answer the candidate's critics, such as myself, adding, "Silent No More." Yet it's the other part of the phrase that merits attention. Is there any sense in which Trump's supporters constitute a majority?
Trump may indeed get to the 1,237 delegates he needs for a majority at the Republican convention. He might even get to a majority of the voters of the Republican Party, though I think that's highly unlikely.
As of Tuesday's primaries in Arizona and Utah, Trump had secured 37 percent of the vote of the Republican primary electorate, or roughly 7.8 million votes out of approximately 21 million.
Tuesday morning, I was sitting in my home office in Brussels, working on my latest children's book, when a friend texted: "Holy cow. Preliminary reports indicate one or more explosive devices have gone off at Zaventem airport."
I immediately looked out the window at my children's Belgian school. It's barely 100 yards away, and every day, rain or shine, the children enjoy a full hour of recess plus a 20-minute mid-morning break. One of the luxuries of my life here is that I'm able to hear the happy sounds of children playing on the other side of my garden wall - including my 8-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter.
This time, it was a relief to hear quiet, to know that the children were still inside. Police and ambulance sirens began to shriek in the distance, but it was easier than I thought to stay calm - at least at first. The airport is a 10-minute drive from my house. Then another friend texted: "You heard about the explosion at the metro stop?" The Maelbeek metro station is just over a mile away. Now my mouth went dry. What was next? I threw a sweater over my pajama top, pulled on jeans and boots, and ran to the children's school.
Barack Obama is tangoing into history, and there's something perfect about that.
The tango has been described as vertical solitude. And this president is all about vertical solitude.
Republicans are frothing and comics are tweaking about the baseball diplomacy in Cuba and the tango diplomacy in Argentina, juxtaposed with the terrorist attack and manhunt in Brussels.
Comedy Central's Larry Wilmore mocked Obama's "spring break world tour." He chided the president for doing the wave with Raúl Castro and remarked on Obama's sinuous, take-charge tango partner. "OK, Republicans, now he's leading from behind," Wilmore said. Rush Limbaugh accused the president of flamenco dancing and "doing the tango with women not even his wife."
Yes, that outrageous sin of being polite to your foreign hosts at a state dinner.
Note: This came to me in a dream and I have transcribed it as faithfully as possible, as my hair turned slowly white with horror. The drawing above is the most faithful representation I have found of the being that whispered these things to me in an unspeakable and ancient tongue.
I am called by many names.I was before time was. I transcend mere physical space. I am the heir of Azathoth.
You may know me as Cthulhu.
Long have I slumbered in the vasty deeps, beyond the reach of time, waiting for the stars to turn. I dream below the waves, a monstrous mind suspended, rapt in thought. I am dead and yet I dream, vile nightmare visions that reach forth their tentacles into the minds of those who dwell upon the shores of fleeting light. In them I preserve my nameless terror.
But now I feel the call. I feel the movement, the earthquake. The Trump calls me from my slumber.
Those of us in the news media have sometimes blamed Donald Trump's rise on the Republican Party's toxic manipulation of racial resentments over the years. But we should also acknowledge another force that empowered Trump: Us.
I polled a number of journalists and scholars, and there was a broad (though not universal) view that we in the media screwed up. Our first big failing was that television in particular handed Trump the microphone without adequately fact-checking him or rigorously examining his background, in a craven symbiosis that boosted audiences for both.
"Trump is not just an instant ratings/circulation/clicks gold mine; he's the motherlode," Ann Curry, the former "Today" anchor, told me. "He stepped on to the presidential campaign stage precisely at a moment when the media is struggling against deep insecurities about its financial future. The truth is, the media has needed Trump like a crack addict needs a hit."
Curry says she's embarrassed by the unfairness to other Republican candidates, who didn't get nearly the same airtime.
