Historical records matching Tibor Radó
About Tibor Radó
Dr. Rado was one of the galaxy of Hungarian mathematicians who came to the United States after World War I and imparted a significant impulse to the development of mathematical studies. Professor Rado's contributions to mathematical theory ranged from geometry to abstract formulas, including such subjects as calculus of variations, analysis in general, conformal mapping, minimal surfaces. complex functions, geometry of area, Riemann surfaces, and the Plateau problem.
Professor Rado was born in Budapest on June 2, 1895. From 1943 to 1915 he attended the Polytechnic Institute in the Hungarian capital. He then joined the Hungarian armed forces as a first lieutenant and was captured on the Russian front and sent to Siberia. He escaped from the prisoners' camp and his subsequent odyssey took him to the Arctic regions of Russia, where he lived with Eskimos while moving slowly westward, seeking final escape to his homeland. After thousands of miles across the Arctic wastelands, Dr. Rado returned to Hungary and resumed his education. In 1923, he received a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Szeged.
Dr. Rado taught for a brief period at the University of Szeged and then went to Germany as a research fellow for the Rockefeller Foundation. In 1929, he came to the United States. He lectured at Harvard University and the Rice Institute and in 1930 joined the faculty of The Ohio State University.
In 1933, Dr. Rado published his first original contribution to mathematical thought, "On the Problem of Plateau," which was translated into every Western language and brought him instant fame. In 1935, he published his second work, "Subharmonic Functions."
As World War II entered its final phase, he interrupted his academic career to render a special service to the United States Government. As a science consultant to the armed forces, he was sent to Germany to find German scientists needed by the United States as it approached the nuclear and missile age.
Dr. Rado then returned to his research at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, New Jersey. In 1946, he became Chairman of the Department of Mathematics at The Ohio State University, a position he held through 1948. The following year he was named Research Professor.
Professor Rado served as a Visiting Professor at a number of universities, including the University of Chicago, the University of Puerto Rico, and Kansas State.
In the last six years, Dr. Rado's work with computers was concentrated on the design of automatic systems, appropriate mathematical tools, the method called Turing machines, named after the English mathematician, Alan M. Turing, which he preferred to call "Turing programs," and the limitations of what computers can do.
Tibor Rado (June 2, 1895 – December 29, 1965) was a Hungarian mathematician who moved to the USA after World War I. He was born in Budapest and between 1913 and 1915 attended the Polytechnic Institute. In World War I, he became a First Lieutenant in the Hungarian Army and was captured on the Russian Front. He escaped from a Siberian prisoner camp and, traveling thousands of miles across Arctic wasteland, managed to return to Hungary.
He received a doctorate from the Franz Joseph University in 1923. He taught briefly at the university and then became a research fellow in Germany for the Rockefeller Foundation. In 1929, he moved to the United States and lectured at Harvard University and the Rice Institute before obtaining a faculty position in the Department of Mathematics at Ohio State University in 1930. In 1935 he was granted American citizenship.
In the 1920s, he proved that surfaces have an essentially unique triangulation.
In 1933, Radó published "On the Problem of Plateau" in which he gave a solution to Plateau's problem, and in 1935, "Subharmonic Functions".
In World War II he was science consultant to the United States government, interrupting his academic career. He became Chairman of the Department of Mathematics at Ohio State University in 1948. His work focused on computer science in the last decade of his life and in May 1962 he published one of his most famous results in the Bell System Technical Journal: the Busy Beaver function and its non-computability ("On Non-Computable Functions"). He died in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - Cumberland scored on its first three possessions of the game and five of six possessions in the first half and the 15th-ranked Bulldogs held on for a 43-35 victory Saturday at Burch-Nau Field.
Quan Johnson and James McClain both posted over 240 all-purpose yards and combined for four touchdowns while Adrian Baker scored twice on the ground for CU (7-1, 4-0 Mid-South West). Cumberland led 37-7 late in the first half and 37-14 at halftime before Union (2-7, 1-3) stormed back in the second half.
Johnson caught a 46-yard pass for a score in the first quarter and added the team's only points of the second half, a 75-yard punt return in the third period. The Pensacola, Fla., native finished with 265 all-purpose yards in the contest, including a team-best 87 yards on 17 carries.
McClain had a seven-yard scoring run in the first quarter and made a 78-yard catch-and-run late in the first half, giving CU a 37-7 advantage at the time. The sophomore ended the game with 241 all-purpose yards, 74 on the ground, including a first down with a minute to play to ice the contest.
Reed Gurchiek threw for 152 yards in the game, 143 in the first half, on 7-of-13. He had two interceptions, both in the second half, including one returned 32 yards for a score by Pedro Pinckney early in the third quarter.
CU took the opening kickoff and moved 58 yards on six plays, with Baker rushing five yards for the touchdown. Union answered on its first drive, going 57 yards on 10 plays. James Sterlin caught a 12-yard touchdown pass, tying the contest at seven less than seven minutes into the game.
Cumberland faked a wide receiver screen on its next possession and Gurchiek hit Johnson for a 46-yard touchdown.
Connor McChurch then forced a fumble and recovered it on Union's next drive. CU went 33 yards on seven plays for another score, with McClain getting a good block on the corner from Johnson and rushing around left end for the score and a 21-7 advantage late in the opening quarter.
After a short punt the Bulldogs moved 20 yards on seven plays before stalling, but Jarad White booted a career-long 40-yard field goal. Cumberland punted for the first time on its next possession but after the exchange of punts, CU took the ball at the Union 36.
Five plays later Baker broke several tackles up the middle en route to a nine-yard scoring run and a 24-7 lead. The Bulldogs got backed up on their next drive and Union helped the visitors with a running into the kicker penalty on fourth down, giving CU a chance to extend the possession.
On the next play Gurchiek tossed a long pass to McClain, who made the catch at the Union 35 on the left sideline, hit the breaks and let all of the defenders run right by, then cut back to the middle of the field, picking up blockers and going 78 yards on the longest pass play of the season. White missed the PAT, giving CU a 30-7 advantage with 1:44 left in the half.
After the opening drive Union lost three yards on five total drives before marching 60 yards on eight plays in the final minute of the half. Rob Brown carried four yards for the score, cutting the deficit to 37-14 at intermission.
Union drove inside the CU 20 on the opening drive of the second half, but Chris Simpson stepped in front of the pass at the goal line, picking up his third interception of the year. But Pinckney's interception return followed. Gurchiek threw another pick on the next drive, but the CU defense forced a punt.
Ryan Moses hit Josh Winkle for a 24-yard TD pass late in the third quarter, cutting the deficit to 43-28, and Demetrius Hicks got behind the defense for an 80-yard catch-and-run with 9:50 left in the fourth quarter, making it a one possession game.
Union drove to the CU 32 in the final minutes, but Moses misfired on 4th-and-8. The Bulldogs picked up two first downs to run out the clock and also burned more than seven minutes off the clock at the end of the third and into the fourth periods with a drive that ended with a punt.
Cumberland plays at Belhaven University next Saturday at 1:30 p.m. before finishing the regular season November 12 at home against the University of the Cumberlands.

Take a walk through the layout of these homes with us. We've spent a lot of time with our architects making them uniquely stylish and exceptionally functional at the same time.
These are the upper duplex units with larger floorplans and roof decks surrounded by green roofs...
These townhomes are modeled after Postgreen Homes' most popular single family home models. The key features include a modern master suite with walk out roof deck...
The lower duplex units sport fully landscaped rear yards in addition to an open floorplan with 2 beds and one and a half baths...
Folsom Powerhouse is an innovative mixed use development project in the growing Francisville neighborhood utilizing the latest in modern design, sustainable construction and urban planning. The project's design is inspired by the City of Philadelphia's plans to become the "Greenest city in America". The project is located on the 1700 block of Folsom St just north of Fairmount Ave and was awarded to this development team as part of an RFP process with the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority (PRA). Construction of a balanced mix of residential and retail units along side duplex, triplex and single family for sale units is slated to begin in late 2013.

i use the dcx 2496 and i can tell you its an amazing tool. You will never miss the money you spent for.
6 channels, balanced in- and outputs. You can "notch" at each fequency you want with different damping modes.The best feature is the memory. You just save different setups and you are able to compare the sound differences within seconds.
I use the dcx for my ESL+Dipolesubs. The dcx show a noticable noise level in standby and sometimes i get the impression that the dcx slightly modifies the original signal. But nothing is for free.The advantages compensate for that and this crossover is far better than any passive solution.
BTW:This is an amazing ribbon !! I can imagine that it sounds breathtaking
regards, capaciti
I am sometimes "thick-headed". Years ago we used DBX equipment to restore dynamic range to recorded music, and I found DBX equipment to be as solid as it gets. So, my natural inclination is to move back to DBX equipment now that I need this electronic crossover. I know a lot of people use the 2496 and it does interest me. It's less expensive than the DBX, which I can get off eBay for under $400. A new 2496 can be had for $250. I'd sure like to know more about a direct comparison between them (I know there are people on this forum that can help me).
May I ask, what do you mean by "slightly modifies" the signal? How much effect does that have? How pronounced is the "noise level" you described?
Thanks for the compliment on the ribbons, I have really enjoyed having them back.
My Ribbon Project
Hi gavinson,
i try to explain slightly modified:
imagine the sound reproduction of a single hit to a triangle. Listening with my ESL you are able to hear that the "colour" of the triangle sound changes constantly from the hit to silence.
With the dcx the time to silence is reduced and in addition the colours of the triangle sound different. It appears as if the triangle is made out of different alloy.
I don't use the digital inputs, but analog since the dcx is between the pre-and poweramp. Maybe A/D-D/A-converting compromises quality.
The noise level is about double the loudness of standard analog active filter systems.
Why is there a spike in each of the graphs at about 10kHz? Is there something in the testing procedure causing this?
Hello ctviggen,
I am not exactly sure what you ar seeing. I think you are talking about some impulse response plots. They would be measured at 1K, in milliseconds. I could be mistaken. When I get home, I'll have to look and verify that.
My Ribbon Project
cheers ;)
Hi slowmotion,
thats astonishing. Using horns the noise level should be ampified further due to higher sensitivity.
Maybe my dcx is a worse one out of serie production, but i got feedback regarding noticable noise level from others as well.
Do you run it with digital input ? Should lower the noise level.
I dont have noise iether on my dcx and horns.
I beleave it went away when i improved the power supply.
It wasnt bad at all but now its silent
Used beads and quality caps
Im using digital in
I'm using analog in, no noise.
It's important to get the levels right,
and preferebly volumecontrols between the crossover and the poweramps.
cheers ;)

How did the Utah Symphony follow up last weekend's opening gala featuring three world-class soloists? By inviting one world-class soloist to play three diverse works.
Emmanuel Pahud, who was named principal flutist in the Berlin Philharmonic at the astonishing age of 22 (he's now 43), is arguably the top flutist in the world right now. In fact, it's difficult to argue with Utah Symphony music director Thierry Fischer's billing of him as the top soloist on any instrument. Pahud possesses not only a phenomenal technique, but an equally phenomenal musicality.
The flutist began with Elliott Carter's Flute Concerto, which Pahud himself premiered. Like most of Carter's work, it's a bit thorny, but don't be afraid — it comes off much better live than in recording. Fischer and the orchestra provided sensitive accompaniment to Pahud's artistry. Next came the flutist's arrangement of Lenski's aria from Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" in a performance of breathtaking beauty. Pahud returned after intermission to play Mozart's Flute Concerto No. 2. The impeccably phrased performance was highlighted by a playful cadenza in which the soloist seemed to tantalize the audience, fittingly enough, with snippets from Mozart's "The Magic Flute."

That was close. Jeez, Wright, you're killing me with the errors; it's gonna be tough to win MVP if you keep that up. But thank God for all the nuts and bolts on this ball club. Castro, Franco, Chavez, Woodward–even Valentin a little, they rock. Even without Marlon Anderson our bench is looking good lately. And how about that slugger Brian Bannister? I hope with all my being that he is okay. But at least we won. And everbody contributed. Oh, look, Big Mike just hit No. 400. Good for him. Too bad it wasn't enough for a win.
There is now way in HELL I thought the Mets would win that game yesterday, especially after leaving the bases loaded in the 10th.
This game reminded me of the playoff game when Benitez choked that hit to JT Snow.

The expenses watchdog is facing a backlash from senior MPs who say plans to restrict rent claims for London living to £1,450 a month, the price of one-bedroom flats, could stop would-be MPs with young families from standing.
Sir Ian Kennedy, the chair of the new Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, published the tough expenses rules on Monday, signalling the end of first class rail travel and second homes and cutting limits on claims by nearly a third.
Margaret Hodge, the culture minister, said: "I worry about women with young children who become MPs. For those outside of London constituencies it will become impossible to be with their children and do their job. They will be forced to spend half the week apart and this could have profound consequences to who comes into parliament."
Ann Cryer, the Labour MP for Keighley, told a Commons debate that in 1974 when her husband, Bob, was elected the family had to stay in a cramped and "seedy" hotel. "Are we going to go back to that? If we are, parliament will go back more and more to being a gentlemen's club, which people with money can enter."
The document stressed that Ipsa did not believe it had a responsibility to "promote greater diversity" in the Commons, but stressed that it was anxious not to put any barriers in the way.
It announced that MPs will be able to claim a supplement of £2,425 a year for dependents – defined as children under five (under 21 in the case of single parents), or other relatives in receipt of disability or attendance allowance – but that would still not allow them to rent a two-bedroom flat in central London.
The presumption was that MPs leave their school age children in their constituency during the week. But many send their children to London schools, returning to their constituencies at weekends.
The justice minister Claire Ward said it was not clear what parents with children of different ages would do. She also did not think it had been properly thought through how MPs would have to change their living arrangements as their children moved out of the under-five age range.
She said: "Kennedy says it's not his responsibility to do anything that promotes the diversity of parliament. No it's not. But it is his responsibility not to do anything that gets in the way of the diversity of parliament. I don't think he has thought through the implications of his new rules."
Lynne Featherstone, Liberal Democrat MP for Haringey and a single parent, said: "My concern is that it might have unintended consequences. If the new expenses system means that women, single parents, can't come to parliament, then over time it will become a man-only parliament."
A spokesperson for Ipsa said: "Arrangements have been put in place for those MPs with responsibility for caring for others."

You have received a lot of answers which suggested to use /. (shortcut
for ReplaceAll). While this will do what you expect for the given
example I consider it to be one of the most common sources of errors
when used for a programmatic task, which I understand your question is
about. ReplaceAll will replace at all levels and that is not what you
really want in most cases. Replacing subexpressions within mathematical
expression is the big exception and most probably the reason why
ReplaceAll is used so frequently in Mathematica and received an own
If you want replace "each member of a list" and expect a similar
behavior as Cases, you should probably rather use Replace with a level
specification, like this:
Replace[list,x_/;x>9 :> SuperStar[x],{1}]
I think your solution 1 which maps onto the list will be more efficient
and there isn't much difference concerning readability, so in this case
I wouldn't consider Replace to be a better solution really...

A very wise firearms instructor I know told me not too long ago when I was in your position to find a weapon that fits you and you can shoot well. It should fit comfortablely in your hand and be comfortable when you carry it. Carry weapons are like shoe's you just have to find what fits you. Purchasing an uncomfortable weapon to shoot means that it probably won't get the range time and therefore won't be accurate if called upon save your life. Just thought I'd pass along some wisdome bestowed on me that helped my decision on my first CCW.

If you can get your hands on a shield don't hesitate. If by some chance you dont like it you could sell on gunbroker for what you paid!
The last two guns on your list are the most appropriate for carry and home defense for precisely the reasons that so many dislike them: the trigger. Let's think...you will carry a loaded gun on your body every day, usually all day. The likelihood of ever having to use it for self defense is small. Therfore common sense dictates that safety to yourself and those around you is the most important consideration.
All guns today protect from accidental fire on dropping or jarring. But when it comes to human error, accidental pull of the trigger is the major safety concern. The safest triggers are those with the longest pull. And with practice, you will easily be able to hit targets at 10 to 20 feet or less, which is the most likely self defense scenario. Years ago, double action only revolvers were very popular for carry (and still are) and people were able to master them for that purpose. A carry gun is not for fun or competition--if you want that, buy a second gun.
People like to pretend that Glocks and similar, short-pull-trigger guns are perfect for every purpose, but they are not...especially for someone new to guns or who is not an experienced and frequent shooter. There is nothing stopping the Glock trigger from being accidentally jerked. The Springfields have a grip safety, but if your hand is on that, then the trigger can be accidentally pulled. At least Taurus and Ruger have the sense to put manual safeties on their short-trigger guns, but even then, in a time of stress you have to worry about engaging/disengaging that safety.
And for home defense, would you be comfortable with a loaded, short-trigger gun near your loved ones? I wouldn't.
The Ruger LC9 and Kahrs are thin, single stacks, and great for carry. If you like the higher capacity form factor of the Glock, Springfield, M&P, I would strongly recommend the SIG Sauer P250. It has a long, safe trigger pull, but it's very smooth and anyone can master it for self defense distances. (And for those who hate this trigger, if you can't hit targets reasonably well with a DAO trigger at SD distances, you probably shouldn't be carrying a gun). It's probably the perfect carry gun it its size category. Comes in 5 calibers and three sizes and can actually be converted due to its modular nature. It's got the SIG quality without the SIG price--considerably less expensive than its three competitors I mentioned. Extra magazines can be pricey--look on the web for deals. As with the Glock, the mags of the larger frames fit the smaller frames.
I would also look at the Kel-Tec P11 and the SCCY CPX-2, two other very competent and very safe guns for carry.
Be safe! Good luck!
Honestly, from what I have read the Kahr CM9 seems to be a really good carry gun, IF it is reliable. I have read some dodgy reports about Kahr's which makes me cringe thinking if I ever needed to use a full mag for self defense that every bullet may not come out.
However, equally as many reports seem to say it's the best gun they've had for concealed carry.
If you think that a new shooter needs more safety than just a DA trigger, wouldn't a M&P shield carried with the safety on be a good choice?
My only concern is that if I am in a situation where someone comes right up to me out of nowhere I will be on adrenaline overload and not be able to disengage the safety and fire. I realize the chances of a super close encounter out of nowhere is unlikely but definitely possible.
Also, the Sig P250 looks nice. I will look into that.
Another vote for the Glock 19. You can't go wrong with it! And it will have the best resale value (should you want to sell) of the guns you listed IMO. Good luck, have fun and stay safe.
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing..... Albert Einstein
I'll be the first to say it, since no one else did (sorry, if you did and I skimmed over it). GET TO THE RANGE. Once you're 21, go and test some guns out. Some people absolutely hate guns that other people adore. You won't know what you really like until you shoot it - or at least comparable to what you are looking at.
Wife and I both have a LC9. Good for carry (thin and works well for iwb) and the heavy trigger is good for safety. It has an external safety which I leave disengaged but wife does not. Takes a little practice but is reliable and accurate for what it is.
As far as home defense I wouldn't be afraid to use it for that but I don't have to as I have a beretta .40 for that.

Personally not a big fan of 9mm but I would suggest you try as many of your choices as possible and make up your mind as to what you like best.
We should not forget that the spark which ignited the American Revolution was caused by the British attempt to confiscate the firearms of the colonists. -
Patrick Henry
Kahr CM9 ......its small, conceals easily, packs enough punch to do the job, shoots well and is very accurate. I have shot 25m gongs with mine. At self defense distances I can easily empty a magazine into a 2 inch or less group. I would recommend pearce grip extenders if you have medium or larger hands.. If 9mm is not enough bullet you can get it in 40 cal too.... and supposedly their is a 45 cal in the works.
The same advice I gave my son..he's in the same-age group as you. Go with a G19. It's a "vanilla gun"(everybody's got one), easy to have serviced, super reliable and feeds from a 15 rd mag. I think that fits the bill. In the house get a quality 12 ga pump. Think a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500 or 590. Good Luck !

Also, once you are in college and you get a gun, you must have a safe to lock it in. Simply locking your bedroom door isn't enough. Do not underestimate the stupidity of others. Especially in college. Someone will pick it up and kill themselves, or someone else. It happens on the news all the time.

China officially and uncharacteristically appears to be showing concern over slowing growth rates. While, it is laughable on the surface to call 7% or 8% growth a problem, China actually needs to add millions upon millions of jobs every year to keep up with population needs. While inflation and fast-rising food prices are a concern, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce noted significant price increases in recent weeks for staple products like eggs, cabbage and vegetables. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and others are eyeing export levels as a way to keep the economic machine in check and growing. To wit, Jiabao called the third-quarter a "crucial period" of 2012 for Chinese growth.
Jiabao is laying out a full-court press, so to speak, to exporters with announced visits to exporting districts intended to boost confidence and measures being put in place such as expedited export tax rebates and reduced fees for companies sending products elsewhere.
Typically a proverbial stone-faced nation that has enjoyed a lengthy string of economic prominence, the mood has shifted a few times throughout 2012. Still the leader of the emerging economies, Chinese officials tried to slow growth early in the year to try to reduce inflation and rampant overheating in the economy. Much to their chagrin, getting growth moving at hot levels again nearly instantaneously has proven to be more difficult then they may have planned. economy-driving growth levels.

When the Children's Museum of Greater Fall River recently opened its doors to the general public, it presented an excellent opportunity to establish service partnerships for a variety of classes at Bristol Community College (BCC). Students and faculty at the college have taken advantage of the opportunity, creating visual exhibits and educational programs for the museum.
As part of their coursework, students enrolled in Art Studio courses created several exhibits for the museum's new permanent home. Meanwhile, Early Childhood Education students had the opportunity to work directly with children through various forms of programming at the museum. As the museum continues to grow and evolve, BCC faculty and students will continue to help create imaginative spaces and events for children to participate.

Fox Covers Obama's Campaign Launch... By Lionizing Reagan
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
President Obama officially kicked off his reelection campaign today with a rally at Ohio State University. Viewers of Fox News could be forgiven for not knowing this, since the conservative network covered less than three minutes of the actual event before cutting out to get "reaction" from Republican strategist Brad Blakeman.
Imagine what Blakeman might have had to say had he heard the whole speech, which continued for quite a while, to the determined disinterest of the Murdoch network.
In the time it took the president to finish his remarks, Fox News aired several news segments, including a sit-down with Rep. Peter King (R-NY) about how the White House is supposedly screwing up the "war on terror," and a piece on how President Obama should be more like Ronald Reagan.
For real:
This was made all the more absurd by the guest's acknowledgement right out of the gate that "it's so difficult to even compare the two periods." Indeed it is! But there was clearly no interest in covering the president's first official reelection campaign speech, and they had to air something, right?

Tommy and I were at Target last weekend and he thought the rug would be a nice addition the patio. I didn't argue with him.
I actually had this piece in my side entry to my old house. My mother-in-law bought me the fresh herbs and my mom got me the lanterns. I think it needs one more plant and a pop of color, but I thought I could still mark this "room" as "done"...or at least close enough.
The rose topiary was on the front porch at my old house and my mom and aunt got me the table and chair set many years ago...back when I was living in my apartment. My aunt did get me a new table top as my housewarming gift, though. The other one had survived (or not) one too many storms.

Blue Dancing
Through the open doors of the Take the Lead Dance Studio, strains of Nina Simone's "I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl" sashay out into the rain-splattered streets of West Philadelphia.
Inside, under the light confetti strewn from a silver disco ball, about 60 people pair off — most just long enough to test out their kinetic compatibility and practice a few moves.
There is Anurag, a 35-year-old Indian researcher from the School of Pharmacy at Temple University. Kayla, a blue-haired, homeschooled 16-year-old from Jenkintown, and her 14-year-old sister, Nikiah. Stuart, 23, a thin, pale graduate student in chemical engineering at the University of Delaware.
Noel, 24, a hip-hop artist who works for the YMCA. Jerry, a portly 56-year-old real estate salesman from Wynnewood. Also a tango teacher.
The shy wife of a Penn student who recently arrived from Shanghai and doesn't speak much English. A guy with Marlon Brando hair, circa 1958, and a tight black T-shirt that showed off his "On the Waterfront" bod. And an out-of-work nurse.
They drape their arms around each other, unhinge their hips, put on their coolest sloe-eyed faces, and begin to dance the blues.
Like the music that inspired it, blues dancing has been around a long time. But only in the past few years has the genre, a sultry version of swing with origins in African- American tradition, emerged as something to teach and learn, the subject of Web sites and YouTube videos. And only in the last year and a half has Philadelphia joined the movement (so to speak).
In May 2006, when Carsie Blanton, 23, moved to Philly after living on the West Coast, she was disappointed to find hardly any blues-dancing community. "San Francisco is the mecca for it," says Blanton. There you can find a place to blues dance almost every night."
Blanton, an elfin singer-songwriter with dense dark curls, left home at 16. With her guitar and a voice like Mimi Farina's, she came to Philadelphia hoping to make her music known, she says, because WXPN-FM (88.5) has made the city "one of the best towns for that in the States right now."
Her obsession with blues dance, however, was not being fed. She knew of one Philadelphia couple, Greg Avakian and Laurie Zimmerman, who taught it at several colleges, but she could not find a regular dance floor. So last winter, Blanton organized a workshop, sending out invitations to everyone she knew and posting it on the Web.
"About forty people showed up. It was heartening," she says. Within a few months, a local group of blues dancers had formed. One of the members, Jesse Young, helped Blanton start the weekly dance at Take the Lead. Another, Jon Darvill, a 26-year-old engineer, became her boyfriend. They moved to a rowhouse in Northern Liberties, where they occasionally give lessons.
Done right, blues dancing is luscious. Bodies press and swoon. Men lead with a subtle coaxing of the wrist; women respond with equal understatement, shifting and turning. Done poorly, it's painful to watch. Stiff-armed couples, rocking like brass pendulums.
In 2007, Blanton and Darvill, along with Young and Cheryl Caraan, formed Lindy and Blues, an all-volunteer organization that promotes the Lindy Hop and blues dancing.
"What attracted me to blues dancing is the same thing that attracts me to blues music," says Darvill, "it's a visceral communication of emotions. Blues dancing with someone is a physical communication with the same emotional impact you get from listening to the music. Blues dancing is a creative and sensual partnered dance that emphasizes improvised expression of the music through coupled movement."
In its current incarnation, blues dancing is so new that when Take the Lead opened a few years ago the owners had no plans to include it in the lineup with salsa, ballet and ballroom.
Then Blanton and company came along. The steps they teach are as vintage as the songs they dance to. But like the music of Etta James, delivered through computers, and like Harlem itself, in a revival fueled by money and cool, blues dancing is new and looking fine, particularly to those who weren't there the first time around.
"Calling it blues dancing is a new phenomenon," says Thomas DeFrantz, a professor of music and performing arts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "But it's just branding."
These dances, he says, which have their roots in political resistance, never went away. "Historically, African-Americans didn't have a way to express coupleness in public. Blues dance became a way to express a comfortableness with a partner in a public space."
The renewed popularity of couples dancing, both to blues and on shows such as Dancing With the Stars, may be a response to increased political tensions in the world, fear of terrorism and a general anxiety about the future, DeFrantz says. "People have a need to connect and touch."
The swing and blues-dancing community is mostly white and Asian-American. The lack of African-Americans, says Blanton, "is hard to address. How do you do outreach?"
African-Americans, of course, have the same need and continue to do these dances, DeFrantz says, but they are more focused on innovation. "If you get caught in the recovery of the past, it makes it difficult to create the future, to come up with the next form that is speaking to the current moment."
At LaB, the instructors and volunteers teach both Lindy and blues dancing and provide regular social dance events, lessons, and workshops where all ages and levels of coordination are welcome. LaB now has seven dance instructors called Techs, and every Tuesday night anywhere from 80 to 100 people show up for free drop-in classes and a social dance.
This past January, 120 dance enthusiasts turned out for LaBLove, LaB's second annual, weekend-long celebration of dance, where workshops and classes were conducted on both dance forms. And, of course, there was plenty of dancing.

NNXT's Top 5
Like a unicorn, NNXT is something rare and magical. She's a a one-woman electropop powerhouse exploding onto Atlanta's otherwise male-dominated jangle rock vs dirty south hip hop music scene. She released her debut album "Shut Your Trapper Keeper" at the end of April 2011, and in less than 24 hours of the midnight release, it had received over 900 plays and a spin on one of Atlanta's top radio stations. In July 2011, she debuted her live performance to a sold-out venue by opening for Heroes + Villains, Atlanta's reigning DJ/production duo (Diplo/Gucci Mane/Wacka Flocka). The album is available for download at nnxt.bandcamp.com.
What sets NNXT apart is her songwriting and production--remarkably catchy yet distinctly her own because she does it all herself. As you listen to her debut tracks with her smooth voice, charmingly cheeky lyrics, and bouncing beats woven together, you know she's going to be the next big thing.
Her earliest fans can attest to her "best kept secret" status. When NNXT released her first single "DRNK TXTNG" in February 2011, it was met with an overwhelming public response. Its popularity (and epic hilarity) sparked a remix contest that drew submissions from across the US, and it regularly continues to receive airtime on New York City and Atlanta dance-floors.
When she's not producing her own tracks, NNXT is writing songs for platinum producers.
Steinway Close Mic Piano (Reason Pianos / Piano Patches / Separate Mics (NN-XT) / Steinway D Grand / SteinD Close S.sxt)
This is my go-to piano sample. I've played Classical piano since I was 4 so I am extremely picky about my piano sounds. In addition to it being a Steinway sample, the way it was recorded is just so pure and really captures that "real" piano sound that so many producers are seeking. This is used in my song "Heartbeat", a haunting piano/electronic track, and to get that "eeriness" of the piano I sent it through the RV-7000 a the M-Class Compressor.
FATPPG (Reason Factory Sound Bank / NN-XT Sample Patches / Synth Poly / FATPPG.sxt)
This is the fabulous synth that can be found in the "Love Superhero" hooks, but it's also hidden in most all of my tracks. When you play around with the settings you can get a lot of different tones, ranging from a pad to a lead-like synth.
Stereo Cellos (Orkester / Strings / Cellos Stereo / VCSs Long f.sxt)
Growing up I always wanted to play the cello, but my school in small-town Georgia never had an orchestra program... which could possibly explain why I am utterly obsessed with putting cellos in my production. There is such a fullness and depth to using cellos in electronic music, and this is by far one of the greatest samples out there if you're looking to add cello to your tracks. Typically I will use the "Long f.sxt" sample when I use cellos as pads, and the "VCSs Marc.sxt" for staccato/rhythmic cellos.
All the Met (Factory Sound Bank / RV7000 Patches / All The Met.rv7)
When I first started using Reason in 2004, I used to teeeediously bounce all my individual tracks (aka lanes) into stereo .wav files and import them into my DAW to mix them. However, as Reason as become more powerful and more intuitive over the years, I can now just mix all of the music in Reason with just the same result. At the beginning of a session, I will create an RV-7000 right underneath my mixer, it will automatically route it to Return 1, and I can control how much reverb I want each sound to get by changing the levels on the mixer. Putting it on "All the Met", a ginormous sounding reverb that definitely lives up to its name, and only sending a little bit of signal from say, my drums or keys, really gives a great sound and effortlessly fills in the stereo soundfield when mixing.
MinimoogUs (Sonic Refill Vol. 10 / SR NNXT VintInst Programs / Vintage Synths / MinimoogUs.sxt)
This entire refill is packed with great sounds, but the entire Vintage Synths folder gets HEAVY use in my studio. The MinimoogUs sample is awesome for lead synths, basslines, pads, etc. and I mean seriously- who can resist a kick-ass Moog sample?!

Hi there,
I'm hoping someone can help me find what I'm looking for…
Basically I'm looking for a system that will work alongside an email address for example 'firstname.lastname@example.com'
The system will receive the emails and then allocate them a ticket that is then placed in a queue, i can then login to my panel and view any outstanding tickets, change their statuses, send templated responses or assign them to another user.
Preferably looking for a system that I can host myself (themeforest/codecanyon file) but open to other systems out there that are subscribed to.
Hope I've explained myself clearly.
WickedPixel, I love you!
Works EXACTLY as I needed to, such a simple solution, thank you so much!
I tried to do that in AS3 , but the problem is that swfaddress empties the hash fragment before flash can check it…
Demo – http://tpet.co.uk/#!/About – works fine, but if you visit… http://tpet.co.uk/#/About it will clear the fragment and THEN flash's first view of it is empty so it pushes the user to the home page…
I'm rewriting my site to use #! over # for SEO reasons, but any existing links to our deeplinked content will then default to the homepage, I need a way to rewrite old URL 's containing only the # to #! BEFORE swfaddress gets it's hands on the URL … Argh! – Can anyone help?
Hi guys,
Having looked at this page my jaw hit the desk – http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html
Way too complicated for my simple mind!
I'm basically wanting to rewrite urls to find and replace a # symbol with #! but obviously if the #! is present then leave it as it is… can ANYONE help me with this?
Dates couldn't be worse for me
August 15th is a major relaunch of Teacher's Pet so i'll likely be running round the office like a blue arsed fly for the week leading up to it!
Sorry guys!

Hey Guys,
Trying to get scandir() working and need a little help…
I'm able to get scandir() to work when the $dir is a subdirectory or the current scripts location however im trying to access a folder elsewhere on the server but when I try to locate it using a URL i'm getting errors…

[VIDEO PICK: Assistazo] That Sevilla's Jairo "assisted" on Carlos Bacca's goal is a massive understatement. Jairo took the ball in his own half, faked out three Freiburg defenders before serving up Bacca for an easy finish instead of trying to beat the keeper himself.

Today is the day that the presidential debates begin here in the United States. The first one is tonight at 9 ET (the vice presidential debate follows on Oct. 11th and the final two presidential debates are Oct. 16th and 22nd). You can tune in via network TV of course, but this year there are other options. One is YouTube, which will be streaming the debates on its 2012 Election Hub and should take care of most of the cord cutters out there.
But Microsoft is trying to lure in another audience: Xbox gamers. Microsoft's Xbox Live service has its own Election Hub where they too will stream the debates. But just in case being an informed voter isn't reason enough to watch, Microsoft is going to sweeten the pot. Gamers who watch at least 3 of the 4 debates will get a set of Halo armor for their Xbox Live avatar.
In addition to this perk, Microsoft promises to bring some interactivity to the debates with real-time polls (and results). Poll topics can be suggested via Twitter by using hashtag #Xboxpoll.
Casting a slight pall over the otherwise civic-minded event is the fact that Microsoft's love of capitalism is a tad stronger than their love of democracy. The event is apparently limited to Xbox Live Gold members (it isn't completely clear from the wording on Major Nelson's blog if Gold is required to view the debates, or just to vote in the polls). An Xbox Live Gold membership costs $50-$60/year.
Watching the debates on YouTube, of course, will be free.

On the site in St Mary's, Chitungwiz, 10 men and eight women are working hard to make soil blocks while the children collect water to help the building. The community is working well together and we are excited about the progress they are making and looking forward to seeing the results of tireless work.
Soil Stabilised Blocks (SSBs) are an alternative to more expensive building materials such as bricks and stones.
It is hard work but the men and women are mixing together cement with local soil while the children bring them water to complete the mix. It is also important the community is told about the different types of soil and if it is right for making good bricks which will last for a long time.
The community can build up to 4,000 bricks a day, which means the project is moving along well.
Once the mixture is complete, it is placed in a simple hand operated pressing machine and compacted into blocks. These blocks are then placed in lines, covered with polythene and left to 'cure' for a week. They are then ready to be used in construction.
"Before we started producing the earth blocks we had to understand the quality of the soil we had available on our site and decide whether it was suitable for producing SSBs. We then had to work out the quantity of cement needed to ensure the load bearing capabilities and water resistance of the blocks," explains Farai Matondo.
"Soil with a lot of clay in it is a good thing as it helps freshly moulded blocks to stay in one piece. On the other hand, sand and gravel give strength to the final product. Here in St Marys we have an abundance of gravelly reddish type of soil which is perfect!"
Producing these earth blocks uses very little energy and water - and unlike locally produced bricks they do not have to be fired in a kiln for three days. This process uses so much wood and In Zimbabwe we know this is contributing to deforestation.
The earth blocks are so strong and durable and by building low energy bricks, we are not only showing the community a new trade but also helping our environment.
"Depending on whether there are other tasks to be carried out, we usually produce about 4,000 bricks a day," says Shiela Mahachi, one of the project members in St Marys.
"The main advantage of this technology for us is that we can make the stabilised soil blocks here on our site and we hardly need to use any water. We are also using very little cement - 86 bags for 21,000 blocks which is enough to build a seven-roomed house. The pressing machine is also really easy to use, and when the house is built it does not need any plastering and looks so beautiful," says Viola Tapera.
Practical Action is helping people to learn from one another through sharing experiences, innovations and lessons. Early next year, I will be organising exchange visits between people from Mbare in Harare and those from St Marys in Chitungwiza trained in producing SSBs.

It was a pretty light week these past seven days, both in terms of the comics I bought and the lack of pressing news in the industry. Marvel have announced a new original graphic novel which I think looks neat and is something I would like to see more of (outside of the many Season One books recently). Other than that, it was another solid week from Marvel in their individual issues again, taking two spots on my list this week.
I was pretty skeptical of Fraction's take on FF initially, especially after the phenomenal job Hickman did with the book during his time with it (and Fantastic Four proper). In addition to this, I had very little exposure to Michael Allred's art and didn't realize how excited I should have been for this title (because his art is pretty cool). I was wrong, but I couldn't be more pleased with that outcome, because the result is another charming, funny book from the man/deity who regularly brings the world Hawkeye. I'll admit that I don't read everything – obviously – and that I do read more Marvel books than I do DC, but it seems to me there are no DC books akin to FF and Hawkeye. Which is their loss, as I would be on board with anything even remotely like these books from DC (so please, if I'm missing out on something let me know).
After last issue saw Alex Power leave the Future Foundation after his disagreement with Scott, it was cute to see all the kids wearing a #7 on their outfits in solidarity for him - except for Bently, what a dick (although unsurprising)! While Alex was seen briefly near the end of the issue as he attempts to find a more suitable solution to the possible future problem of Dr. Doom, this issue was focused more on "Johnny's" erratic behavior forcing the team to subdue him in the streets after setting nearly half of New York City on fire (in what is probably one of my favorite whole page panels recently). This is, of course, done with the typical liberal use of humor.
The other thing to take away from this issue – as the cover heavily implies – is that Medusa is up to… something. While I doubt that she is doing something inexplicably nefarious in a book with as light a tone as FF, she certainly has her own plans for Bently. However, even her murky motivations are dealt with in a humorous manner, so I'm not going to complain. In fact, I'm glad I'm along for the ride.
TWO - East Of West #1
Speaking of Jonathan Hickman and the previous volume of FF, he's re-teamed with artist Nick Dragotta (who handled much of that book's final issues before it re-numbered) in a new creator-owned series over at Image. With a bi-weekly series in Avengers as well as the monthly sister book New Avengers I'm amazed Hickman has the time to launch a new series on top of these books – not to mention his other creator owned series in The Manhattan Projects.
To be honest, there isn't a lot of concrete plot or characterization in this first issue, but the premise, setting and atmosphere of the book are all so engaging that I already think I'm hooked. The book begins with the cryptic caption "The dream is over" as three kids emerge from some kind of altar in the middle of some arid badlands only to see that their fourth member has neglected to join them and they decide – after some quick divination – that they'll just have to kill him. Later on we learn that their names are ostensibly Famine, Conquest and War and that they fancy themselves the reborn four (now three) horsemen of the apocalypse, but that's not all that's happening in this book. The fourth "horseman" Death (still in the form of an adult) and his companions are tracking down the men responsible for wronging him in the past.
While there may not be much more to go on within the plot, the future-Western dystopia setting and excellent art are enough to make a case for coming back to this. Also, Hickman has earned the right to some leeway in terms of getting the plot going. I know he's good for it, I haven't been burned yet.
ONE - Uncanny Avengers #5
With Olivier Coipel handling the art in this issue after having John Cassaday do the previous four (and Daniel Acuna set to be series regular artist starting next issue) Uncanny Avengers has had an embarrassment of riches in terms of artistic talent so far in its short run. Coipel serves as a visual bridge in the same way that this issue is a narrative bridge between the first story arc and the next one set to begin in issue #6. However, this issue is far from filler as it introduces three more members to the team and continues to build the characters, and more importantly the work-in-progress that is team dynamics.
With the world now aware of the newly named Avengers Unity Division after the Red Skull's attacks, the team holds a press conference for a formal introduction and to establish Havok as the leader of this squad. In addition to this press conference, Wonder Man, The Wasp and Sunfire are added to the team's roster (Sunfire's recruitment handled by Wolverine in a particularly well written exchange between the despondent Shiro and equally morose Logan). When all are finally present at the event, it is interrupted by Wonder Man's brother Grim Reaper and a fight ensues ending with some particularly bad PR. My only problem with this otherwise fantastic issue is Thor: where'd you go, bro? He's clearly standing with the rest of the team before Grim Reaper attacks, but when the action starts he disappears entirely and has no impact (or appearance) for the rest of the issue. Thor's place on the team has always seemed like it was the most tenuous, and if I didn't already know he was going to be key starting with the next issue (which looks to focus exclusively on him) I would be wondering why he's even in this book in the first place. In the end, however, just as I do with Hickman, I trust Rick Remender and am willing to go along with whatever he has planned – especially with how good the rest of the book has been so far.
With prologue being told from the perspective of Kang The Conqueror as he kidnaps the children of Archangel and Pestilence from "The Dark Angel Saga" arc of Remender's Uncanny X-Force, the coming story looks to be a spiritual successor to that fantastic story. This being only the beginning, I can't wait for more, just to look back on these early issues later to see where things to come were probably set up without anyone even noticing. In addition to the dense, but rewarding writing, Uncanny Avengers is one of the better looking titles out there, as one of my favorite images below will hopefully convince anyone who hasn't read it yet to check this book out.

BTW, regarding the MEHstomp. If the human coalition is taking time to invade Wolf 359, I don't imagine planetary landings and the conquest of entire worlds would take just an afternoon. Ground war would take days, at the very least. A week, or more, more likely.
We are realistically speaking looking at a month long campaign at least, if the enemy decides to really make a fight of it.

Tomorrow is my 3rd birthday and as a present, mom is getting me a sister! :-) She's a stray that has been running around our street for about a year. A neighbor has been feeding her, but not taking care of her. She's beautiful, but so timid and scared! Mom has been trying to find her a home for a long time with no luck. Mom wanted to take her in, but just couldn't afford to. Miss Bobbye, my trainer at Petsmart, runs a rescue and she offered to get the dog spayed, and when she met her, she asked mom if she would be willing to adopt her if she (Miss Bobbye) helped with vet bills and heartguard for a couple of years, and she would also comp a beginner training class! Well, mom was so excited cause she'd already fallen in love with the dog, so she said yes! :-) Mom has named her Suzy Q and she'll be coming home on my birthday tomorrow! :-) I can't wait! :-)

'Tis the night before Christmas and all through the town,
every shelter is full - we are lost but not found,
Our numbers are hung on our kennels so bare,
we hope every minute that someone will care.
They'll come to adopt us and give us the call,
Come here, Max and Sparkie - come fetch your new ball!
But now we sit here and think of the days..
we were treated so fondly - we had cute, baby ways.
Once we were little, then we grew and we grew -
now we're no longer young and we're no longer new.
So out the back door we were thrown like the trash,
they reacted so quickly - why were they so rash?
We jump on the children, don't come when they call,
we bark when they leave us, climb over the wall.
We should have been neutered, we should have been spayed,
now we suffer the consequence of the errors THEY made.
If only they'd trained us, if only we knew...
we'd have done what they asked us and worshiped them too.
We were left in the backyard, or worse -left to roam-
now we're tired and lonely and out of a home
They dropped us off here and they kissed us good-bye...
"Maybe someone else will give you a try."
So now here we are, all confused and alone...
in a shelter with others who long for a home.
The kind workers come through with a meal and a pat,
with so many to care for, they can't stay to chat,
They move to the next kennel, giving each of us cheer...
we know that they wonder how long we'll be here.
We lay down to sleep and sweet dreams fill our heads..
of a home filled with love and our own cozy beds.
Then we wake to see sad eyes, brimming with tears --
our friends filled with emptiness, worry, and fear.
If you can't adopt us and there's no room at the Inn --
could you help with the bills and fill our food bin?
We count on your kindness each day of the year --
can you give more than hope to everyone here?
Please make a donation to pay for the heat...
and help get us something special to eat.
The shelter that cares for us wants us to live,
and more of us will, if more people will give.
When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was "bad," you´d shake your finger at me and ask "How could you?"...but then you´d relent and roll me over for a belly rub.
My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.
We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs" you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a "dog person", still I
welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy.
Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate. Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became a "prisoner of love." As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch-because your touch was now so infrequent-and I would´ve defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway.
There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and you resented every expenditure on my behalf.
Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You´ve made the right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your only family. I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers." You had to pry your son´s fingers loose from my collar as he screamed "No, Daddy! Please don´t let them take my dog!" And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility, and about respect for all life.
You gave me a good-bye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take my collar and leash with you. You had a deadline to meet and now I have one, too. After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me another good home. They shook their heads and asked "How could you?" They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you that you had changed your mind-that this was all a bad dream...or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me.
When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner and waited. I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a separate room. A blissfully quiet room. She placed me on the table and rubbed my ears, and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief. As is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which she bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood. She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured "How could you?" Perhaps because she understood my dogspeak, she said "I´m so sorry." She hugged me, and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn´t be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself-a place of love and light so very different from this earthly place.
