Ndevr iPadding Gremlin Kids Play Case for Apple iPad 2/3/4
Free shipping $40+ Free returns Advanced Parcel Tracking
The appeal of the Ndevr iPadding Gremlin kids' tablet case was immediately apparent to Tablet2Cases' resident experts, Suzie (age 7½) and Sylvia (age 6). Already big fans of the Speck iGuy, the girls adored maybe even more this little red devil made of soft but tough polyolefin material. Best yet, the Gremlin play tablet case features a so-cute tail attachment that makes it a case with stand.
- Designed exclusively for use with the Apple iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPad 4
- Vibrant color selection
- Made entirely of pliable but tough Polyolefin material
- Non-toxic, Eco-friendly design
- Shock-absorbing protection for all tablet sides
- Soft handles for easy grip-ability
- Cutouts for all tablet buttons, ports, speaker and rear-camera
- Sound tunnel redirects sound toward the front and boosts volume by 10db
- Tail appendage props the tablet for hands-free use
- Tail rotates to adjust the stand angle
|Model Name
|iPadding Gremlin
|Apple iPad 2/3/4

|Kids, Travel
|Budget $1-$39
|13.4 x 5.3 x 10.6 in (WDH)
|340g / 12 oz

- 2013 Golden Case Awards nominee for Best Case for Kids & Best Play Case
- Rugged, drop proof case
- Designed for children
- Integrated "tail" tablet stand feature
- Tough rubber-like material
- Sound tunnel for improved audio
- Vibrant color selection
The primary red color of the Ndevr Gremlin instantly attracted the eye of this writer's daughters – "Ooooh, what's that?" they said together as it was being retrieved from the package. This kids' tablet case is easy on/easy off, an immediately apparent boon to any parent with slightly-less-than-patient junior tablet users (so, basically, any parent). AnyiPad 2 or New iPad 3/4 is set in the rubber-like material with no snaps or fasteners needed.
Like the Speck iGuy, the Ndevr Gremlin is a humanoid-shaped tablet case employing a similar design. The "arms" of the case serve the function of carrying handles perfect for small hands. But rather than "legs", the Gremlin features a "tail" that acts like a kickstand for hands-free tablet use. This piece squeezes into a hole at the back of the tablet and, when attached, serves to prop the iPad for viewing at a few angles in landscape format. And this stand will take some pushing on the touchscreen without falling over.
As in any kids' tablet case, the polyolefin design here is nicely resilient enough to the punishment young ones might dish out. The squishy, rubbery material represents great protection against drops; the case bounces fairly well from serious heights and keeps that iPad working.
Easy to use, immediately appealing and lightweight, the Ndevr Gremlin is essentially everything a concerned parent seeks in a kids' tablet case. But don't ask me, talk to Suzie and Sylvia – that is of course if you can get their attention.

Report Released on Koppers
Once again the contamination at Cabot Loppers is in the news again. The Florida Department of Health has released a report on the levels of dioxins along the roads in the Stephen Foster neighborhood.
The Florida Department of Health is calling out "inadequate" soil testing near the Koppers Superfund site. State officials released the report after Beazer East, the company that owns the site, opened the area to residents and the media.
The study says the small amounts of dioxin-contaminated soil shouldn't harm adults or children, but recommends continued testing. Scientists say parents should not let their children play in 30 foot wide easement just west of Koppers. A fence was put up to restrict any children from playing in the easement that buffers the site, but the report says soil in the easement has not been cleaned up.

Legal Online Gambling Comes to New Jersey
Online gambling fans that live in New Jersey can rejoice as they now have legal options to play poker and casino games online.
New Jersey set to join Nevada & Delaware in online gambling
New Jersey is set to join Nevada and Delaware as far as U.S. states that now offer residents the chance to play poker or casino games online for real money. Numerous U.S. states are in the process of evaluating online gambling, with some moving faster than others to get Internet poker and casino sites up and running (and generating tax revenues).
Games in New Jersey launched last week although most online sites are still in a trial period in New Jersey, where sites are required by state law to first go live as a soft lauch for a minimum of five days as they're evaluated by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement before being given approval for a full launch.
Nevada was the first state to jump into the legal U.S. online gambling market but it only approved the offering of online poker; New Jersey is set to offer poker as well as online slots, craps, blackjack, and other casino games.
Only residents or visitors to New Jersey are allowed to play the games, with technology in place to prevent children or anyone from outside of state lines from playing at any of New Jersey's online gambling sites. With no federals laws governing online gambling, it is up to each state to establish and regulate their own online gambling regulations in order to offer games to players within state borders.
As far as companies looking to immediately jump into the action in New Jersey, both WSOP.com and Ultimate Gaming are at the forefront and likely have a step up over the competition. Both companies are currently offering online poker to residents in Nevada and have ties to existing casinos in New Jersey as far as marketing their respective online sites to patrons.
WSOP.com is owned by Caesars while Ultimate Gaming is partnering with Taj Mahal Casino in New Jersey to offer its online casino and poker games.

Tablets drive worker productivity in part due to their hyper-portability, as I argued in a recent blog post. Workers can (and, we showed with data, do) use tablets in more places, places where they wouldn't (and don't) take their PCs.
The top question I've received about tablet hyper-portability is this one: "Tablets are very portable, sure, but are people using them as creation devices or as (mere) consumption devices?" The general assumption behind this question tends to be that "creation" activities are equal to "productivity," while "consumption" activities are not. I believe this is a false dichotomy, however. Consuming the right information at the right time can increase worker productivity in and of itself. Let me offer a few examples showing how that can work:
Posted by JP Gownder on March 26, 2013
Technology's value to a business derives at least in part from its ability to increase productivity. The 1987 Nobel Prize winning economist Robert Solow demonstrated that technology increases the productivity of both capital and labor to create economic growth.
Some technologies radically reshape productivity. Take, for example, the cotton gin (1792), which fundamentally transformed labor. A quote from Wikipedia claims: "With a cotton gin, in one day a man could remove seed from as much upland cotton as would have previously taken a woman working two months to process at one pound a day." By profoundly increasing worker productivity, the cotton gin revolutionized both the textile and agricultural industries.
We're living through several technological revolutions of our own right now – in, for example, cloud services, mobility, and big data. One technology that leverages all three to some extent is the tablet, a device I follow very closely.
Tablets drive worker productivity through a variety of vectors. One of those vectors is portability. In our Forrsights Hardware Survey, we asked IT decision-makers who either support tablets today or plan to support them soon why they would do so. IT decision-makers' #1 answer, at 62%? Because tablets are a "more portable form factor than the traditional laptop." This response eclipsed end user preferences, ease of use considerations, and other possible answers.

USA Men's Volleyball Falls To Russia In Five Sets
Aug. 4, 2012
The USA men's volleyball team's undefeated run through preliminary round play at the 2012 London Olympics came to an end on Saturday (Aug. 4) with a 27-29, 19-25, 26-24, 25-16, 15-18 loss to Russia, which overcame a two-set deficit and staved off match point in the third set.
The Americans, with former Trojan Donald Suxho at setter, dropped to 3-1 in Pool B play. The USA is the defending Olympic champion, but currently is ranked fifth in the world. Russia is No. 2 in the world behind No. 1 Brazil, which was swept by the USA on Thursday (the Russians were swept by Brazil earlier in the week).
After winning the first two sets on Saturday, the USA held a 22-19 lead in the third set when the momentum quickly changed in Russia's favor on a pair of 3-0 runs, first seeing Russia tie the set at 22-22 and then having Russia overcome match at 24-23 to go on to win the set. The loss ended USA's 11-match Olympic winning streak.
Despite the loss and with one match remaining in pool play, the USA will advance to the Round of Eight elimination play next week. The Americans conclude preliminary round play against No. 20 Tunisia, which is 0-4 so far, on Monday (Aug. 6) at noon (PT).
Suxho had 109 assists, 6 digs and 9 blocks against Russia.
Suxho, who lettered at USC from 1997 to 2000, was the 2000 National Collegiate Player of the Year. The native of Albania who came to America for college also participated in the 2004 Olympics for the USA.

The night Yogi and Boo-Boo raided a Beatle's flat
Page Tools
The Scotland Yard drug squad detective who led a midnight raid on John Lennon's London flat in 1968 had told the home secretary he needed lots of police with him because he expected to find "an unusual party" in full swing.
Detective Sergeant Norman Pilcher, who built his career targeting musicians including Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton and Donovan, finally turned his attention to the biggest prize of all - a Beatle - in October 1968.
A confidential file, released at Britain's National Archives under the Freedom of Information Act, shows Pilcher was asked to explain to the home secretary, James Callaghan, why it had taken seven police officers and two dogs to raid Lennon's flat, and how the press arrived on the scene within minutes of the bust.
Some believe Lennon had immortalised Pilcher as "Semolina pilchard" in the Beatles song I Am the Walrus. The Beatle described him as a "head-hunting" cop: "He went round and bust every pop star he could get his hands on, and he got famous. Some of the pop stars had dope in their house and some of them didn't."
But Lennon was confident he didn't. At the time he lived with Yoko Ono in a flat rented from George Harrison. The previous tenant had been Jimi Hendrix. A journalist had tipped Lennon off that Pilcher had him next on the list, so he had the flat meticulously cleaned in the belief that Hendrix must have left some trace of drugs in the apartment.
Lennon always insisted he had been framed by Pilcher, who was subsequently jailed for corruption. Lennon was fined £150 for possession but the conviction was enough to trigger a deportation order against him in the US in 1971, and a four-year battle against being thrown out. Ono said it contributed to the couple losing custody of her daughter, Kyoko.
The Scotland Yard file shows the drug squad's only two sniffer dogs, Yogi and Boo-Boo, found cannabis. Pilcher said the raid had been carried out after "information received" indicated at least three people lived there and they were "in possession of a quantity of cannabis".
He said the flat had been difficult to enter because there was no rear entrance and there was an entryphone system. Pilcher said two detective sergeants, three detective constable and two dog handlers - without dogs - turned up at the flat at 11.55pm on Friday, October 18, armed with a search warrant, and hammered on the door.
Inside, John and Yoko were in bed. Yoko went to open the front door. "Upon being informed that we were police officers and the reason for our visit, she ran back along the passage into the flat and slammed and locked the door," Pilcher said.
The couple had been lying in bed dressed only in vests.
Lennon was in no mood to co-operate and phoned his solicitors.
Pilcher reported: "An attempt was made to enter the premises by way of a rear ground-floor window but this was prevented by Lennon who held the window closed." The stand-off lasted eight minutes. When the police started to force open the front door of the flat, Lennon decided to open it. Police had to wait half an hour for the dogs to arrive. In the meantime Lennon's lawyers and press photographers had arrived.
"Cannabis resin was found secreted in a leather binocular case and a suitcase. Both of these quantities were found by the dogs," Pilcher's report said.
They took five officers and the dog handlers because of the difficulty getting into the flat and because the rooms were "untidy".
Pilcher told Callaghan the large number was needed because "it is not unusual when executing search warrants for premises occupied by members of the entertainment world to find that there are large numbers of people present taking part in unusual parties. In this case it was found that only two persons were present, and both were in a state of undress." He denied tipping off the press.
The next year Pilcher raided George Harrison's Esher estate during Paul McCartney's marriage, so he could be sure the Beatle would not be at home.

Home ⋅ First Birthday Invitations ⋅ 3-5 Photos ⋅ Yellow ⋅ Green
"The card is beautiful, but i though it was going to look bigger. It is a 4 x 6, so pay attention to this. I thought it was 5 x 7, but it was my mistake. As far as that, the card is beautiful and elegant as described."
"Like most parents I'm sure, a child's first birthday is a huge deal to the parents more than a kid! I wanted to make sure I found the perfect cards to express the tone of this occasion; celebrating the best years of our lives and a huge milestone for our son! I started looking around with the generic glossy rectangular cards in mind. I just happened to notice the link for tiny print at the top of shutterfly's website. I am SO over the top about these invitations. The colors are perfect. And I love that it comes in thick cardstock. It feels more expensive than it is. I have already recommended this site to 3 people, and will continue! If you want cards that stand out from the norm, than this is the site for you!"

Jay Rayner on restaurants + Brighton
Restaurants tacked on to hotel chains can be a mixed blessing, but this fishy Brighton diner is a great catch, says Jay Rayner
Like the fresh oysters it serves, Riddle & Finns is functional and a little basic on the outside, but it has a heart of tastebud-tingling perfection. Jay Rayner heads for a shore thing.
Chef Sam Metcalf has raised his game and created a restaurant to be proud of. But, wonders Jay Rayner, is Sevendials too good for the people of Brighton?
Fresh fish and a bill that won't leave you high and dry, Jay Rayner gets caught in Brighton.

The Band Perry Thank Their 'Village' for Early Success
It was only a year ago that the Band Perry — comprised of siblings Kimberly, Reid and Neil Perry — were trying to get their first single, 'Hip to My Heart,' off the ground. Fast-forward a year and the trio are opening for superstar Alan Jackson on his fall tour, and nominated for their first-ever CMA Award, for Vocal Group of the Year. And they admit it all still feels a bit surreal.
"We were at Sbarro Pizza at the airport in Charlotte, N.C., at 9:00 AM," Kimberly tells Billboard of the moment they found out about the nomination. "A girl from our label called, and we said, 'Are you sure?'"
She was sure. The group join Little Big Town, the Zac Brown Band, Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum in vying for the coveted trophy. While they're thrilled with their quick rise to stardom, they say it's the result of hard work from everyone on their team who is helping them achieve such rapid success. Signed to the label Republic Nashville, Kimberly says they owe a lot of their early achievement to label head Jimmy Harnen, who joined them through much of last year as they visited radio stations all across the country. "For a Nashville major-label president to come out with us was huge," she adds.
"It takes a village to break a band, and that's what happened," Jimmy acknowledges. "We started visiting radio last year, and they haven't stopped since. We've concentrated on visiting everybody in all forms of the entertainment sector from radio to online and retail. There have been a lot of trips to New York, Los Angeles and cities in between, giving the band a chance to share their music and have people talk with them. It's really paid off."
The trio's second single, 'If I Die Young,' is already proving the band's staying power. With over 530,000 downloads and more than six million views on You Tube, the pensive tune, penned by Kimberly, has quickly become a fan favorite. "That song works on so many levels and means different things to different people. It was just one of those songs that you felt like was meant to be on planet earth," she tells The Boot. "So many people work so hard for so long and for whatever reason are not able, or don't have the opportunity to access their dreams. So for us it was a statement of you know what, if it all ends at this moment for whatever reason even at our young ages, we've gotten to live and love so well and so completely. And that's what it means to us."
The group, who have already opened for several big country acts, including the Zac Brown Band, Keith Urban, Brooks & Dunn and Darius Rucker, say that they feel fortunate to get such a positive reception when they perform their music live. "People already knew some of the songs because of the EP," Reid Perry says of the enthusiastic response the group receive at live shows. "I don't even think we had the back half of the album recorded when we hit the road."
The brothers and sister just finished their first full-length album, which includes the song 'Postcard From Paris,' co-written by former 'American Idol' judge Kara DioGuardi. The Band Perry's self-titled debut album hit stores today (October 12). Check out their fall tour schedule here.

Island wake circulation off Maldives during boreal winter, as visualised with MODIS derived chlorophyll-a data and other satellite measurements
Abstract:The north equatorial current (NEC) is a seasonal current that exhibits variability in its strength and transport. In this paper, the westward flow of the NEC in the Indian Ocean has been observed during the northeast monsoon. The NEC passes through the Maldives, a group of coral islands in the central part of the equatorial Indian Ocean along 73° E. This flow has been shown to enhance biological productivity on the west coast of the Maldives during boreal winter. This was visualized with chlorophyll-a data derived using a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor on 11 December 2003. The plumes of chlorophyll-a showing the progress of the westward flow through the Kardive channel on the west coast of the Maldives during the winter of 2003 to 2004 were studied. Analysis of weekly chlorophyll-a data from November to March 2000 to 2004 also indicated westward flow with distinct inter-annual and intra-season variations. The surface wind, obtained from Quicksat scatterometer data, and the mean sea level anomaly, obtained from altimeter data corresponding to the flow were also analysed. Hydrographic observations studied with ARGO floats around the area also provided supporting evidence of the flow through the Maldives group of islands in the Indian Ocean.

Discussions regarding the tax code come up all of the time, particularly during elections when tax season approaches, or when new legislation is enacted. Taxpayers, in general, sometimes have a fickle view of the American tax system. When it works in their favor, it is acceptable, but when it is decreasing the amount of money in their pocket, it is something they are against. Wallet Hub recently published its 2014 Tax Fairness Survey. The survey asked a random online sampling of taxpayers about their views regarding certain aspects of the U.S. tax code.
The survey focused on several areas, including complexity, income, consumers versus corporations, the most and least fair types of taxes, and the economy. Overall, the results indicated Americans find a few aspects of the tax code fair and many others completely unfair. For those which we find unfair, are any alternatives available? Have we already found the lesser of all evils in our current tax system?
Most people see the U.S. tax code as an enigma. Each year during tax season, millions of Americans rush to their accountant, H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt, or Liberty Tax Service to have someone complete taxes on their behalf. This is easier for most, and many people would rather just avoid the headache. Why are taxpayers willing to pay someone hundreds, even thousands of dollars for something they could theoretically do themselves?
Survey results indicate 80 percent of participants describe the tax code as either "complex" or "extremely complex." Less than 1 percent of respondents find the tax code "very simple" and only 1.2 percent find it "simple." These respondents who find the tax code easy to understand are probably accountants, financial professionals, or those who work with the tax code as a profession. The last category of respondents, those who find the tax code "ok," account for only around 16 percent of participants.
With the majority of Americans finding the tax code complex, the way to solve this would be to simplify specific rules, deductions, credits, and income requirements, but our tax code will never be completely simplified. Even with the current tax code — all of the rules and requirements listed for every single tax credit or benefit — people still find loopholes. For every tax benefit, we will always need a laundry list of stipulations a taxpayer must meet to be rendered eligible.
On the other hand, it may not be a bad idea for someone to go through the tax code with a fine-toothed comb and remove or update any code that is redundant, that has multiple versions of the same information (like the first-time homebuyer's credit), or is only applicable to a relative few. A similar sentiment is reflected in the survey, with nearly half of respondents stating a fairer tax code would have less deductions than the current tax code.

Tell Me.... an Ethical Dilemma
Sam is young man is applying for a summer program, a real resume builder. Among other things, the application asks if he has been treated for a psychiatric disorder. In fact, he's seen a therapist and he's felt anxious at times. His internist gave him some Lexapro samples and he feels better. The symptoms of his problems have been limited to his own subjective distress. His anxiety is not something that has disabled him, in fact he has not missed a day of school in 3 years -- and then for the flu-- he sees his therapist on the weekends, and no one would know he's been uncomfortable unless he told them. He's never been in a hospital, he's ultra-reliable, and he has great grades and extracurriculars. Any way you look at it, Sam is an energetic guy on the road to success.
What should he write on the form? It's a yes/no check box, no questions or place to clarify, so if he says yes, well, that could mean he has some subjective anxiety, or it could mean he has attention deficit problems, or it could mean he has been hospitalized 6 times after becoming violent, or has a severe mental illness. He's worried that his anxiety will throw him into a subset of applicants that the committee would rather not deal with: why choose someone for a project who has a mental illness if another equally qualified applicant is available without this issue to address?
Sam's mother say he should check "yes." He has been in treatment and he has a diagnosis and he takes a medicine. He has a psychiatric disorder and he needs to be honest.
Sam's father says that the question defies the spirit of what the committee wants to know. They want to know, Dad presumes, if there will be issues or problems or things they might need to accommodate, and there is no reason to believe that Sam's problem will interfere with his ability to negotiate life in a competitive or stressful environment. Sam, he contends, does not belong in the same category as someone who has attempted suicide, been hospitalized, missed work, or behaved in a disruptive or dysfunctional manner. If anything, Sam's anxiety drives him to focus and achieve and to be very conscientious. He's not ill, his father says, he's just more anxious on a spectrum of normal anxiety.
I want to know why forms get to ask such questions and put people in the awkward situation of having to answer something that is none of anyone's business versus being dishonest. It seems that if someone wants to know this, it might be asked in terms of "Do you have any health issues that might require any special accommodation?" Is there a limit to what random forms can ask and whether you're behaving unethically if you choose not to answer their questions or answer it less then completely? Sam tried leaving the question blank, but the computer wouldn't let him submit the form without checking all the boxes first. Can they ask if you have deviant sexual fantasies? If you've ever committed a crime (regardless of whether you've been charged or convicted)? If you say provocative things on your blog?

A dealer tried this crap on me with an M3... I ordered DCT, they put in stick... I ordered electronic suspension... they ignored me. Basically they cut off about $6K in options and tried to charge me the same price... then when I brought the "mistake" to their attention they told me my "new options" would raise the price. I told them I wished to cancel the order... the sales guy told me the sales manager would call me back the following day... and they promptly "lost" my phone number for a month despite repeated calls to them.
When they did call me back they informed me the car was in production (which I already knew thanks to BMW's website). I promptly called an attorney. In my case of course it was a Euro Delivery so I already had my flights, hotels and vacation plans already set... so I had to rapidly throw together a different vacation. Yeah, nightmare barely begins to cover it... and I had put a sizeable deposit on the car. For the record, after playing "chicken" with me and the courts for 18 months they finally settled for a sum I found reasonable...
Anyway, I digress. I agree with others here; refuse delivery. They are just not holding up their side of the bargain. Check the original papers you signed and make sure it lists the black trim... if the car they ordered has ANYTHING other than that, it's not your car.
Remember, it's not yours until you take the keys and leave the lot. Up to that point you are well within your rights to refuse the delivery.
If you like you can call BMW USA and see if they can verify the claim that the factory "ran out of black"... quite frankly an excuse I find completely mind-bogglingly stupid.

Summer internship and individual project comparison
|Summer Internship
|Summer Individual Project
A Hands-on experience with a practicing professional supervisor
Intensive work in a subject working independently under the supervision of a faculty sponsor.
Graded Credit/No Credit only and will not affect your GPA but will earn a credit toward graduation
May be graded Credit/No Credit or awarded a letter grade which will be included in GPA.
Fee - $400
Fee - $1400 (Information regarding payment options for summer internships should be directed to Business Services.)
How do I sign up?
Complete a summer internship proposal or a summer individual project proposal, get the required signatures, make your payment, and turn it in to the Registrar's Office before leaving campus for the summer.
How many hours do I have to work to get a credit?
Typically 160 hours of service to receive one course credit. Faculty supervisors may also require additional work toward academic credit, such as a journal or final project.
When can I start?
You must start after Block 8 and be completed by August 15.
Can I get credit for an internship or project I've already done or just started?
No. Credit is not awarded retroactively.
Can I still do an internship or project during the year?
Sure. That's still included in your regular tuition cost, if you choose to use a block in this way.
What is the benefit of doing a Summer Internship or Independent Project as an additional credit as opposed to posting the credit to an actual block?
Since we moved to the 8 Block Plan, students will have less time to take courses. By taking a summer internship or project as an "extra block,"you will be one course closer to graduation.
Are there any prerequisites?
Students must have completed at least 7 course credits and find a faculty sponsor.

Nacre Dance Company
Saturday, October 19 at 8pm
Hubbard Hall Mainstage
Tickets: $20 general admission / $18 members / $10 students
Nacre will come "Full Circle" with live music and dance on the stage at Hubbard Hall in Cambridge, NY on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2013 at 8pm.
Nacre Dance Company's mission is to sustain modern dance classics and inspire new choreographies. In this concert Nacre will take the audience through a brief history of modern dance.
Nacre will perform three solos from Jose Limón's "Dances for Isadora" (1971), staged by former Limón dancer Jennifer Scanlon. Limón regarded Isadora Duncan as his "dance mother," and this series of solos evokes different periods of her life by intertwining aspects of both her artistic and personal lives. Limón made one of the solos, "Niobe" (Mourning Mother), on Scanlon. Scanlon, who attended Juilliard and performed with the Limón Company for 21 before taking a position at the Boston Conservatory, is working with Nacre for this production.
Also on the program are three pieces that date back to after Duncan's time. Doris Humphrey's "Soaring" (1920) which is the lyric idea of wind, wave and water in the great form of a fleeting veil and "Waterstudy" (1928) which was the first dance to be done without musical accompaniment.
Representing the experimental years of Modern dance will be Anna Sokolow's "Kaddish" (1845) which will be sung by area soprano, Vedrana Kalas Bubregovic, as a tribute to the late David Janower, former Maestro of Albany Pro Musica. This piece was one of the first she performed under his direction.
Concluding the program will be two original works by Nacre's Artistic Director, Beth Fecteau: Marilyn McCabe's "Ny Verden/New World," a poem cycle set with music and dance to reflect on the human spirit of exploration and the costs of conquest; and "Chocabell," set to the music of Bach played by area cellist Will Hayes.
Prior to the performance on October 19 from 3:00-4:30pm, Nacre will offer a modern dance class for teens and adults, all levels and experience. Get an inside view of classic modern dance choreography by experiencing it for yourself! Click for details . Package Pricing for both the workshop AND the performance is available!

Software Abstraction Layer
Danut Prisacaru
March 2008
Summary: The N-tier architecture has been with us for many years. It helped us separate the Presentation tier from the Business tier and that, in turn, from the Data tier. This provides a higher degree of decoupling when compared to the old one-tier or two-tier architecture. Although the N-tier architecture is helping us make applications more flexible and easier to change, there is still an important potential for coupling between the different technologies and logical layers that exist in each physical tier.
This article tries to identify the points of coupling. It also proposes a solution that increases the separation of concerns; this allows the N-tier applications to be easier to change. Although the article makes its point using Microsoft® .NET Framework technologies and the C# language, the solutions can also apply to other platforms and languages.
We will also provide a proof-of-concept prototype that illustrates the points we are trying to make in this article.

About the Author
For the purpose of this article, we will imagine an application that uses the three-tier architecture. The Presentation tier is implemented using Windows Forms, the Middle tier uses Internet Information Services (IIS) and exposes Web services, and the Data tier is provided by SQL Server®.
Figure 1 illustrates a simplified view of the three-tier architecture.
Figure 1. The classic three-tier architecture
Looking deeper at what happens in each physical tier, we may discover that each tier is a mix of several logical layers and, in many cases, these layers depend on each other.
The Complexity of Mixing Code
If we zoom in to the Presentation tier and the Middle tier, we discover that they are not monolithic and homogenous layers. Each tier is actually made of several logical layers. For example, the Presentation tier has a UI part and a logical layer that is composed of proxies that help the UI communicate with the Middle tier. This tier also includes the layer that communicates with the database, such as ADO.NET, the business logic modules, and the layer that makes the service provider. Figure 2 illustrates a closer look at each tier.
Figure 2. A closer look at each tier
In the ideal situation, each logical layer is separated from the others. In reality, many applications have a mix-and-match between them, as illustrated in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Tiers of a typical application
When tiers are not properly designed and implemented, all the benefits of separating the application into tiers are lost. Although the Presentation tier is physically or logically separated from the Middle tier, the mix-and-match between UI code and the proxies make the code difficult and costly to maintain. The same thing happens in the Middle tier where we see the service provider (Service) layer, the business logic (BL) layer, and the data access (DA) layer connected with each other. In cases like this, it is virtually impossible to replace one logical layer with a new technology.
Let's say we currently use the .NET Framework 2.0 Web services on the Middle tier. On the Presentation tier, we had the proxies/references generated by the Microsoft Visual Studio® development system. We plan to move to Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). How are we going to do that if the implementation looks like Figure 3?
We all know it is easy to build a new application from scratch. The most expensive part is to maintain it, and if the architecture and design of the modules that make the application do not consider the cost of maintenance, transition to new technologies is very expensive; in some cases, it requires a total rewrite of the application. How do we build an application so we reduce the cost of the maintenance?
We also know that the complexity of any software system grows over time. How do we make it so the parts that make the system stay simple, although the complexity grows, and can be easily changed or even replaced?
N-Tier Flexibility Relies on Layers
Potentially, the business may require one day that the N from the "N Tier" to vary, such as from three to two or another number.
We need a solution that can easily accommodate the business requirements, as illustrated in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Flexible architecture allows N to change from 3 to 2
Moving Toward a Better Solution
Each of the Presentation and Middle tiers are composed from several logical layers, so we can try to find a solution that will keep the layers apart from each other.
So far, we know the following:
- We need to avoid mixing and matching code from different technologies or bringing code from one layer into another layer. We can do that by abstracting the interfaces between layers, making them unaware of each other's specifics.
- The layers need to exchange data, and this data is the only thing they need to know about each other.
We will start by building a data container layer that has only data types/classes generic enough to go through different layers without affecting the decoupling.
The data containers layer must contain only primitive .NET Framework types, types from System.Data (for example, DataSet), or user-defined types that can contain only the preceding types or other user-defined types that obey these rules.
Abstraction in the Presentation Tier
Question: How can we make the UI layer unaware of the transport type and minimize the changes we need to make to replace a communication layer with another?
Answer: We design and code by interface and use factories to create the concrete classes. The UI "speaks" only the "interfaces language."
Pros and Cons of the Proposed Solution
Pros: Abstracting the communication between tiers provides a system that is easier to change in the future. The changes can be required by the business or they can come as a need to replace an older technology with newer and better technology. We can build a software system with "building blocks" that evolves easier than earlier applications.
Cons: The initial setup requires more work, but that is the same as any approach, such as the Composition UI Application Block or the Smart Client Software Factory. It requires some training and discipline from all the developers. It may require code review once in a while to ensure that no one takes shortcuts and accesses one layer from another by bypassing the Abstract layer.
First Attempt: Factory Method
We try to use the Factory Method pattern to implement the separation between the creation of the concrete classes and the caller.
Factory Method - Intent: Define an interface for creating an object, but let subclasses decide which class to instantiate. Factory Method lets a class defer instantiation to subclasses. (Source: Design Patterns by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides)
The code will look like the following:
public class SALFactoryMethod
public enum CommunicationMethod
public static IAccountSettings GetAccountSettings(
CommunicationMethod comMethod )
if( CommunicationMethod.WS == comMethod )
return new WSAccountSettings();
else if( CommunicationMethod.WCF == comMethod )
return new WCFAccountSettings();
else if( CommunicationMethod.DirectAccess == comMethod )
return new DirectAccessAccountSettings();
To use the preceding Factory Method, the client code will call the static method to get the concrete class for each communication method, as shown in the following code.
IAccountSettings accSettings = SALFactoryMethod.GetAccountSettings(
Cons: We need to pass the Communication Method type each time we need to create an object. This breaks the rule of the open-closed principle (described first by Bertrand Meyer): "A good design has to assure that the implementation is closed to modification (in ways that affects clients) but open for extension (adaptable)."
A Better Way: Abstract Factory
Abstract Factory - Intent: Provide an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes. (Source: Design Patterns by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides)
The following code shows an example of an abstract class that is also a singleton. Each abstract method will have to be implemented in the concrete factory and return an object that implements the expected interface; in this case, it is IWrapperAccountInformation.
public abstract class GeneralWrapperFactory
protected GeneralWrapperFactory() { }
public static GeneralWrapperFactory Instance = null;
public abstract IWrapperAccountInformation
The following code example illustrates implementation of a concrete factory; in this case, for Web services.
public class WSWrapperFactory : GeneralWrapperFactory
public override IWrapperAccountInformation
return new WSWrapperAccountInformation();
The following code includes an object of the concrete factory to initialize the singleton. This is done only once when the application initializes.
* For WS
GeneralWrapperFactory.Instance = new WSWrapperFactory()
* For WCF
GeneralWrapperFactory.Instance = new WCFWrapperFactory()
After the instance is initialized with the concrete factory, the client code can start calling the methods that create the objects, as shown in the following code.
IWrapperAccountInfomation accInfo =
Note: The client code is unaware of any kind of underlying technology used, no Web services, no WCF, and no ADO.NET–specific code here!!!
Rules for Building Each Tier/Layer
This section describes the rules for each layer:
- Data containers
layer. This layer contains classes for data exchange between layers.
Examples include AccountID, AccountConfigurationInfo, and
other classes that are now in the MyCompany.Common.Tools.DataContainer
These classes only depend on .NET Framework primitive types (such as Int32 or String) or other types/classes from this layer.
These classes must not depend on UI, Web services, ADO.NET, or other layers.
- Data wrappers
layer. This layer contains classes that encapsulate the ADO.NET
These classes must not depend on UI, Web services, or other layers except ADO.NET.
- Abstract communication
layer. This layer contains an abstract layer and an Abstract
Factory that may have to be part of a separate assembly/library.
This layer depends on types defined by the data connections layer and .NET Framework types (such as Int32 or String).
These classes must not depend on UI, Web services, ADO.NET, or other layers.
These classes will be sub-classed (inherited) by concrete layers. We could have three separate sub-layers, depending on the communication type:
- Web services
- Data access
- Communication layer (consumer/proxy/reference) - client side. This layer depends on the data containers layer and abstract communication layer. It also depends on the communication-specific types; for example, if the layer uses Web services, it will depend on Web services–specific types and proxies.
- Communication layer (provider) - server
side. This layer contains the server-side
communication classes and types. For example, if Web services are used,
the provider has Web service definition classes, such as .asmx files.
This layer does not call the data wrappers layer directly; instead, it calls the communication layer that subclasses the abstract communication layer and calls the database through the data wrappers layer.
These classes must not depend on UI or ADO.NET.
The data containers layer and the Abstract Factory layer need to be very stable because almost all the components involved will use them; therefore, there will be a lot of coupling with these two.
That is why we must be very careful when choosing the types that make the data containers module. The same holds true for the interfaces exposed by the Abstract Factory layer.
The proposed solution offers the following advantages:
- It decreases the complexity and the coupling between modules. This leads to more efficiency during the maintenance of the code.
- It eases the transition to new technologies. For example, Web services to WCF, Windows Forms to Windows Presentation Foundation, and ADO.NET to Language Integrated Query (LINQ).
- It forces the developer to create reusable components instead of monolithic applications. The explicit separation between layers through the abstraction layer will prevent the developer from taking shortcuts and mixing the code.
- It allows for independent testing. Because we separate the logical layers and provide a high degree of decoupling each logical layer/module can be tested independently or reused by other applications.
- It opens the door for dynamic loading of modules. This will be addressed in a future article.
Figure 5 illustrates the modules dependency diagram.
Figure 5. Modules dependency diagram
As we can see in the Figure 5, the UI no longer depends on the proxies/references, and neither depends on the direct access layer.
The Data Containers module and the Factory module have a high degree of coupling because almost all the other modules depend on them. The Data Containers module contains only data; it does not include any code. The Factory module contains only interfaces and abstract classes.
These two modules need to be very stable. Because many other modules depend on them, any change in these two modules may require expensive changes in many places. Therefore, a good solution is to adopt an old COM practice: after an interface (and a Data Containers type) is published, it does not change; if new features are required, we create new interfaces, add new types, or add data members to the existing types. This way, old code that is already using these two modules does not have to change, and it can coexist with new client code that requires the new features.
The solution presented here was implemented in a real three-tier application that has more than 50,000 lines of code. Although we did not plan from the beginning to have it easily become a two-tier application, we performed the exercise of trying to make it a two-tier application and discovered that it was a job that took less than four hours. The exercise also showed other points of coupling we did not cover in our solution, such as static initializations performed when the ASP.NET Web services application starts.
Proof-of-Concept Prototype
We provide a proof-of-concept prototype that shows the points we made in this article. The simple application has a Windows Forms UI that can connect to the same data source in three different ways: by using Web services, by using WCF, or by direct connection. This change happens at run time by one line of code that just sets the concrete factory in each case.
The prototype can be found here on the CodePlex Web site.

MIAMI (AP) — A lawsuit seeking $12 million from Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig says he and his mother lied to Cuban authorities about a plan to smuggle the player out of the country.
The suit filed in Miami by Miguel Angel Corbacho Daudinot lists Puig and his mother, Maritza Valdes Gonzalez, as defendants. Corbacho Daudinot is serving a seven-year sentence of "prolonged detention and torture," which he alleges was caused by Puig and Gonzalez saying he was trying to hatch a plan to smuggle Puig out of Cuba.
Puig attempted to defect several times before signing with the Dodgers last year. The $12 million Corbacho Daudinot seeks is equal to the signing bonus Puig received in his $42 million, seven-year deal.
Seattle manager suffers dizzy spell
SEATTLE (AP) — Mariners manager Eric Wedge suffered a dizzy spell during batting practice, had to be helped into the dugout by team personnel and was taken to a hospital as a precaution before Monday night's game against Cleveland.
Wedge was helped off the field about halfway through the Mariners hitting session and into the Seattle clubhouse, general manager Jack Zduriencik said. Wedge was feeling better after being checked out in the clubhouse, but the team still had him examined at a hospital.
Kemp back out of Dodgers lineup
TORONTO (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp is expected to miss a three-game series against the Blue Jays after spraining his left ankle.
After missing 11 games with a sore left shoulder, Kemp came off the 15-day disabled list before Sunday's 9-2 win over Washington. He went 3-for-4 with a home run but limped off the field after sliding into home plate on a force play in the ninth inning.
Manager Don Mattingly said he was less optimistic that Kemp would avoid a return to the DL and hoped to have a clearer picture of his status today.
Nuggets sign speedy Robinson
DENVER (AP) — The Denver Nuggets quickened an already speedy backcourt by bringing in Nate Robinson.
The veteran point guard agreed to a two-year deal, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.
Robinson joins Ty Lawson to give the Nuggets a tandem that can fly up and down the floor.
• MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Memphis Grizzlies acquired the rights to guard Nick Calathes from the Dallas Mavericks.
Dallas acquired Calathes' rights in a draft night trade in 2009, but the guard out of Florida had not played for the Mavericks. The Mavericks already had Memphis' second-round draft pick in 2016 from Denver in a trade.
Babcock to coach Canadian team
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Mike Babcock will return as coach of Canada's Olympic hockey team.
The Detroit Red Wings coach will have St. Louis' Ken Hitchcock, Dallas' Lindy Ruff and Boston's Claude Julien as assistants at next year's Sochi Games.
Babcock coached the Red Wings to a Stanley Cup in 2008 and also led Canada to gold at the world championships in 2004. He was behind the bench as Canada defeated the United States in overtime to win gold in Vancouver.

Big soybean crops to favor big traders in Brazil, Cargill says
By Gustavo Bonato
SAO PAULO Aug 12 (Reuters) - Brazil's soybean market will see abundant supplies and lower prices next season, which will challenge farmers and favor traders with low costs and good financials, said Cargill's main soybean executive in the country.
In about a month, Brazilian farmers will start sowing what is expected to be a record soybean crop, more or less at the same time the U.S. harvests the biggest soybean crop in history.
"In previous years, it was necessary to move supplies quickly. Now that we have ample stocks everywhere, consumers are not in a rush to buy," Paulo Sousa, Cargill's director for grains and soybean crushing in Brazil, said on Tuesday.
That will help pace Brazil's oilseed sales and exports, but also will squeeze margins and demand higher cost control and efficiency.
"To carry stocks is very capital intensive. Someone must pay. There is a financial cost in keeping grains stocked. Physical infrastructure is also necessary," Sousa told reporters after an event at Cargill's headquarter in Sao Paulo.
Brazil's center-west grain belt has a storage deficit, which big food companies and trading houses, such as Cargill Ltd or Bunge Ltd, have tried to capitalize on by building their own silos and warehouses.
Some farmers also have started to use giant polyethylene bags to keep grain protected when conventional storage is full or not available to avoid having to sell when prices are weak.
Cargill's strategy for the 2014/15 season will be to optimize the use of its warehouse and cargo routings, Sousa said. Continuación...

FLORENCE, S.C. – The Francis Marion University baseball team occupies the 18th spot in the final 2003 Collegiate Baseball Magazine NCAA Division II Top 30 poll, released Monday.
FMU ended its season with a 30-20 record, the team's fifth-ever 30-win campaign, and placed third at the NCAA Division II South Atlantic Regional, the program's first post-season appearance in 10 years.
Picked to finish eighth in the Peach Belt Conference preseason coaches' poll, the Patriots finished third in the PBC with an 18-10 mark, only one-half game away from winning the program's first-ever conference title. The 18 conference wins were a team record and the third-place finish equaled the program's highest finish ever, previously accomplished in 1993 and 1997.
Playing an extremely tough schedule in 2003, FMU was 10-10 against Top-25 opponents, while 13 of the squad's defeats were by one or two runs.
This is the 16th consecutive week FMU has appeared in the poll. The Patriots have been ranked as high as No. 12. Francis Marion broke into the poll at No.15 following an early season three-game sweep of then fourth-ranked University of North Florida. In the following weeks, FMU was ranked 12th, 21st, 13th, 16th, 27th, 25th, 26th, 28th, 19th, 14th, 14th, 16th, 17th, 16th, and now 18th. Prior to this season, FMU last appeared in the national poll at the No. 19 position in the final poll of the 1993 season.
Central Missouri State University (51-7) owns the No. 1 position after winning last week's Division II College World Series. Fellow Peach Belt member Kennesaw State University, which placed third at the College World Series, is ranked third. Altogether, five PBC schools are ranked in the final poll.

Burry Port Town Band has been hit with a noise abatement notice after council officers found its music was too loud.
The problem started when the 35-piece ensemble moved to a new venue for its twice-weekly rehearsals and a neighbour started to complain.
The band, crowned Welsh champions at the weekend, is to meet with council officers later this week.
Carmarthenshire Council said it had received "a number" of noise complaints since the band moved to a new practice room at the old Copperworks School in the town earlier in the year.
But band secretary Edmond John said he had been told it was just one unnamed person who had made several complaints.
"We have done our own canvassing and found the neighbours are very supportive," he said.
Charity concerts
"We can't practice any more quietly because we need to keep up our high standards. We will try to sound proof the room but it will cost money and can't happen overnight.
"I feel it's a bit unfair. We do a lot to help the community - we play free concerts for charity and the elderly at the homes and take part in Armistice Day."
He said the band practised for two hours twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays and usually finished by 2145 GMT.
Mr John said it had moved to the new venue as it had toilets and tea making facilities that the previous room did not.
Carmarthenshire Council said it had been forced to investigate after receiving complaints and after monitoring the sound levels it found that they were too high.
Head of public protection Philip Davies said: "There is a complaint and it is a justified complaint.
"The band has moved from one room where it was not causing any problems to another where it is.
"Meetings are taking place this week to ask them to move back. We are hopeful of resolving this situation in the near future."

Hello to All,
I'm using lvm2, I will create 2 striped LV which volume group created by two PVs. When write happen, its will striped to two PVs step by step.
I know that when need to extend stirped LV, I have to add two PVs more and extend the LV for do not get an error.
Two question
First; when I extend striped volume does it means I will have 2 striped 2 linear volume group? Means chunk1 written to PV1 ,chunk2 written to PV2 and its over , it will pass second two PVs and chunk3 written to PV3 ,chunk4 wirtten PV4 , right ?
İf its right , when data is not big enough and chunk1 and chunk2 enough to store, next write request time LVM start for first pair of PVs or not ?
I would like to balance striped data when I add PVs to extend related VG because first datas are written to only olds PVs and after extend if read request happen still old disks will be used instead of this and improve performance I would like to lay all data to all PVs after extend. İs there any way to reallocation PEs ?

William Shatner To Receive Honorary Headbanger Award At Revolver Golden Gods
Legendary actor, recording artist and author WILLIAM SHATNER will be presented with the Honorary Headbanger Award at the third annual REVOLVER GOLDEN GODS AWARD SHOW presented by Epiphone® on Wednesday, April 20, at Club Nokia in Downtown Los Angeles. Revered for his role as Captain James T. Kirk on Star Trek, Shatner will be on-hand to accept his award, an honor Revolver magazine bestows each year to someone who has made their name outside of the metal world but still embodies its spirit. Later this year, Shatner will officially prove the latter with his new album, Seeking Major Tom (Cleopatra), which features collaborations with hard-rock musicians including Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Paice of Deep Purple, and, on a cover of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society and Mike Inez of Alice in Chains.
"Short of receiving an Emmy for my superb voice, the Honorary Headbanger Award is the next best thing. Praise be you won't hear me sing." – William Shatner
In other exciting news, CHERIE CURRIE of The Runaways will make a special guest appearance, performing with the Elvis Presley- and Johnny Cash-inspired metal group VOLBEAT, while MAX CAVALERA of Sepultura, Soulfly, and Cavalera Conspiracy will join Hatebreed's JAMEY JASTA and DEVILDRIVER in their salute to the hardcore legends Black Flag.
Meanwhile, on the "Black Carpet"—Revolver's version of the traditional Red Carpet—Sebastian Bach will host the pre-awards-show festivities for RevolverTV's "Black Carpet Special." Furthermore, Marcus Henderson--the man responsible for writing Guitar Hero's epic riffs—will be hosting Epiphone's Black Carpet coverage. In addition, Jamey Jasta will serve as celebrity DJ for evening.
Additional performances for the show include THE ALICE COOPER GROUP (in their first L.A. appearance in nearly 40 years), LOADED (featuring Duff McKagan of GUNS N' ROSES and VELVET REVOLVER fame), award-show host CHRIS JERICHO's band FOZZY and fast-rising metalcore outfit ASKING ALEXANDRIA, who will be joined by SEBASTIAN BACH on the Skid Row favorite "Youth Gone Wild." The night will close out with a blistering set by AVENGED SEVENFOLD. The event will be televised on VH1 Classic on Saturday, May 28, but for those who want to witness this epic show in person, tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster here.
The 2011 REVOLVER GOLDEN GODS AWARDS presented by Epiphone will include appearances from rock's most iconic and influential artists, as well as rising stars, including: host Chris Jericho, Rob Zombie, Dave Navarro, Vinnie Paul, Taylor Momsen, Wayne Static, Mike Portnoy, and members of Alice in Chains, Five Finger Death Punch, Dethklok, Megadeth, Anthrax, Fear Factory, Machine Head and many more.
In addition to the Honorary Headbanger Award, other special honors for the night include the "Golden God Award"--given to one musician each year who personifies all that is hard rock and metal—which will go to shock-rock godfather Alice Cooper, who is celebrating the reunion of the original ALICE COOPER GROUP and his recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Also, this year's recipient of the first-ever "Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award"—renamed in honor of the late, great 2010 Best Vocalist Award winner—is none other than the Sunset Strip's most iconic band, MÖTLEY CRÜE.
