Why Extend KVM?
Why Extend KVM?
KVM extenders are used in a huge range of applications in almost all sectors. From power stations to churches and from server farms to supermarkets, KVM extenders have been used to solve a range of problems. Here are some common application examples.
Presentations and training
KVM extenders are ideal for situations where you need to display and control a power point presentation from a podium located at a distance from the source computer. Auto-queues, song words, video clips and photographs are other examples of presentation materials that may need to be displayed in this way. Sometimes only the Keyboard and mouse need be extended, particularly where the picture will be displayed from a projector. In this case a PS/2 or USB only extender may be a cost effective choice.
Interactive displays
Often the computers driving the interactive displays (e.g. touch screens) found in some waiting rooms, reception areas, town halls and shopping centres can not be placed near to the display for security and maintenance reasons. A KVM extender allows the computer to be placed in secure location at a convenient distance from the display.
Computer free work areas
Computers generate heat and noise and take up office space. Computers also have physical interfaces that may need to be hidden from uses for security and maintenance reasons (such as the CD drive, power switch and USB interface). Call centres, internet cafes and schools are examples of environments that may choose to locate some or all computers in a secure and environmentally controlled server rooms and give users access to these computers using KVM extenders.
Industrial control and monitoring
A computer collecting industrial data or controlling industrial processes may be located in an area uncomfortable or hazardous to people. KVM extenders can be used to give control of these devices from a safe and comfortable distance.
Server room and server farm management
Server rooms are designed for computers, not for people. They are chilly, dry, noisy places, often located out of the way and they also have strict security and fire control procedures. Whether an administrator needs access to a handful of servers, or to hundreds, a KVM extender can be interfaced to a KVM switch granting access to all servers from a comfortable and convenient location.

Mrs Flannestad sometimes tires of my relentless experimentation in the kitchen.
I seldom make the same dish more than once. I'm always tweaking.
"Can't we just have the Pumpkin Pie with Bourbon and Pecans that you used to make?"
So, I gave it my best shot, even though I had no pecans (No Pecan Pie? Thank China, Rain, and Pigs, NYTIMES).
The filling is based on 2 Martha Stewart recipes and the crust from the NY Times. Note, the crust recipe makes enough for 2 pies. Save for another occasion or double the filling and topping.
Pumpkin Pie, Thanksgiving 2013
290 grams all-purpose flour (about 2 1/2 cups), more for rolling out dough
35 grams cornmeal (about 1/4 cup)
35 grams sugar (about 3 tablespoons)
2 grams salt (about 1/2 teaspoon)
12 tablespoons butter, unsalted, chilled, and cut into small cubes
1/4 cup Love, I mean LARD, chilled, and cut into small pieces
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Half & Half
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
1/2 tsp Ground Allspice
1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1 15 oz Can Pumpkin
2 Tablespoons Bourbon Whiskey
1/2 Cup Hazelnuts, crushed
1/2 Cup Sugar
Half & Half
1. Make the crust: blend flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add butter and shortening, then pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 4 tablespoons ice water and blend until dough forms a ball, adding more ice water, a half-tablespoon at a time (up to 2 additional tablespoons), if dough is dry. Divide dough in half, flatten into two round disks, wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour.
2. Whisk filling ingredients together until well combined.
3. Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out one dough round. Transfer rolled-out dough to a 9-inch pie pan and fill with pumpkin mixture. Reserve second dough disk for another use.
4. Place pie in the middle of oven and cook for 35 minutes. Combine hazelnuts and sugar and add half & half to loosen. Spread on top of center of pie and return to oven. Bake for another 20 minutes or until topping if browned and center of pie nearly firm. Cool on a wire rack and serve with whipped cream.

Ted Roof
Head Coach
Coach Info:
Head Coach
Alma Mater:
Georgia Tech '87
(919) 684-2635
Ted Roof, a former All-ACC linebacker at Georgia Tech, became the 20th head coach in Duke gridiron history on December 6, 2003.
"To a man, everyone is very excited about the future and where we're going," Roof said. "They see a bright future and feel like it is a family atmosphere, which is important to me. It pleased me that there's a real sense of where we're going, a real positive energy.
"I'm excited about the attitude of our team. We've just got to keep working. That's the only formula I know, to keep working."
Roof served as Duke's interim head coach for the final five games of the 2003 season and, under his guidance, Duke posted a 41-17 victory over Georgia Tech on November 8, then closed out the season by defeating North Carolina, 30-22.
"When I put together a list of criteria for what I was looking for in a head coach, my number one criteria was leadership," Duke Director of Athletics Joe Alleva said. "I wanted somebody who could lead, motivate, recruit and teach. Those were the four main criteria, and when we went through the search process and believe me, we went through a search process.
"We searched for four or five weeks hard," Alleva continued. "My ears hurt from all the people I've talked to. We brought in four really good candidates for this job. The bottom line in my mind was that Ted Roof provides the leadership and motivation, ability to recruit and ability to do what we need to do here at Duke to go to bowl games and win championships."
Roof accepted the challenge of taking the reigns of the Blue Devil gridiron program with confidence, focusing on the positive influence that Duke University can have on the lives of young men.
"Number one, you look at the impact the decision can have on you to attend Duke University," Roof said. "You talk about setting yourself up for the rest of your life, unlocking some doors for you that other places can't do. You're also talking about a University that's committed to building a winning football program and at the same time committed to developing young people to make them better people.
"I think we have a great University to sell here, not only in the state of North Carolina but all over America," Roof continued. "When you think of Duke, you think of excellence and respect, so we're going to go after the best young men in the country that can compete on the field for us and compete in the classroom."
The Blue Devil defense was instrumental in the program's wins over Georgia Tech and North Carolina in 2003. In snapping the Yellow Jackets' four-game winning streak, Duke forced four turnovers and received a defensive touchdown on Malcolm Ruff's 42-yard interception return in the fourth quarter. Offensively, tailback Chris Douglas rushed for a career-high 218 yards — the third highest single-game effort in Duke history — and two touchdowns.
In Chapel Hill versus North Carolina, the Blue Devils held the Tar Heels to 39 total yards and just one first down in the first half while building a 23-0 advantage. Douglas rushed for 119 yards and one touchdown while Cedric Dargan found the end zone twice on the ground. Matt Zielinski's fourth down sack of Tar Heel quarterback Darian Durant with just over one minute remaining in the fourth period sealed the victory for the Blue Devils.
Duke placed two players — Douglas and Zielinski — on the 2003 All-ACC first team, marking the first time since 1994 more than one Blue Devil has been honored with the distinction, while Ryan Fowler and Terrell Smith were tabbed to the second team all-league unit. Douglas, Fowler and Smith shared Duke's team MVP award.
Douglas, Fowler and Zielinski, along with offensive tackle Drew Strojny, all earned spots on NFL rosters following their respective tenures with the Blue Devils.
Duke's players have echoed Alleva's sentiment for Roof.
"Coach Roof's enthusiasm makes him successful. He has a passion for football," said Kenneth Stanford, who co-captained the 2004 Duke squad as a senior. "He lives, eats and sleeps football, and that rubs off on everyone around him. Football is his first priority, but it goes deeper than that. He asks us our thoughts on the game plan, and then asks about our classes and families. It's a big thing when a coach cares about you and Coach Roof is so genuine. He really brought us together as a team over the last five weeks of the (2003) season. There is no doubt in my mind that he is the right man for the job here at Duke."
"I think it's just his caring for everyone," commented Luke Bayer, a Blue Devil letterman from 2000-03. "Before practice and in the hallway, in the locker room, he comes up to you and talks to you and makes you feel good. He makes you feel appreciated, like you're out there for a good cause. He cares about football so much and he's intense about every facet of his life, wheather it's his family or football."
Roof, who was nominated in 2000 for the Broyles Award given to the nation's top assistant coach, previously served as an assistant coach at Duke from 1990-93. Before returning to Durham, Roof was the defensive coordinator at his alma mater from 1999-01.
In 2002, Roof directed the Blue Devil defense to marked improvements from the previous season. After finishing ninth in the ACC against the run in 2001, Duke led the league in rushing defense a year later by allowing just 120.5 yards per game on the ground. In 2003, the Blue Devils jumped from ninth in passing defense in the ACC to a third-place standing.
From 2001 to 2002, the Blue Devils moved from ninth to fifth in the ACC and from 113th to 58th nationally in total defense.
At Georgia Tech, Roof coached the linebackers in 1998 before being elevated to defensive coordinator prior to the 1999 season. In 1998, the Yellow Jackets went 10-2, shared the ACC title with Florida State and upended Notre Dame in the Gator Bowl. The 1999 Tech team went 8-4 and finished the year ranked 21st in the Associated Press poll. In 2000, the Yellow Jacket defense ranked 12th in the nation in rushing defense and 20th in scoring defense, allowing just 19.0 points per game, as Georgia Tech posted a 9-3 record and was ranked 17th in the final national poll.
In 2001, the Tech defensive unit ranked third in the ACC in total defense (333.3 ypg) and second in rushing defense (117.1 ypg) — marks that ranked 32nd and 23rd nationally. In Georgia Tech's 24-14 win over 11th-ranked Stanford in the Seattle Bowl, the Yellow Jackets held the Cardinal offense to season lows of 350 total yards and 14 points. During Roof's coaching stint at Georgia Tech, the Yellow Jackets posted a four-year record of 35-14, tied for the 1998 ACC Championship and played in four bowl games (Gator - 1998 & 1999, Peach - 2000, Seattle - 2001).
Roof began his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach at Alabama from 1987-88 before serving as the linebackers coach at West Georgia in 1989. He then spent four seasons as the outside linebackers coach at Duke under Barry Wilson, and his recruiting efforts helped lay the foundation for the Blue Devils' 1994 squad that went 8-4 and played in the Hall of Fame Bowl. Following his stint in Durham, Roof was on the staff at Massachusetts for three seasons and then served one season as defensive coordinator at Western Carolina before moving on to Georgia Tech.
A native of Lawrenceville, Ga., and a graduate of Central Gwinnett High School, Roof lettered four times for the Jackets during the 1982-85 seasons. He started his final three seasons and was a leader of the Rambling Wreck's famed "Black Watch" defense as a senior, when he served as team captain while Georgia Tech went 9-2-1 and defeated Michigan State in the All American Bowl.
A first team All-ACC selection in 1985, Roof ranks seventh on the Jackets' all-time tackling list with 417 hits. Named the Defensive Back of the Year in 1985 by the Atlanta Touchdown Club, Roof continues to hold the second-highest single-game tackle total in Georgia Tech history with a 25-stop effort against Tennessee.
Roof, 42, who was enshrined into the Georgia Tech Athletics Hall of Fame in 1998, earned a bachelor's degree in Management in 1987. Roof is married to the former Pam Ash of Fayetteville, Ga., and the couple has seven-year-old twin boys, Terrence Davis and Michael Edwin.

Professor David Blix '70 Named Carnegie Scholarby Howard W. Hewitt • April 11, 2005 Share:
David Blix, an assistant professor of Philosophy and Religion at Wabash College, has been selected by The Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) as a 2005 Carnegie Scholar.
Blix is one of 21 faculty members selected from a pool of over 300 U.S. and international applicants who have committed to examining student learning and investigating undergraduate teaching.
"It's a combination of feelings," Blix '70 said Monday afternoon. "To be one of only 21 nationally feels like a great honor. I look forward to getting some real guidance trying to sort out my own pedagogy."
CASTL was created by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of teaching in 1998 to establish and refine standards for the critical review of teaching and learning by faculty members in college and university classrooms. CASTL also helps to establish new settings and forms for the examination of teaching and learning so that faculty members can exchange information and build upon the work of their colleagues.
During the 2005-2006 academic year the Carnegie Scholars will work on projects that explore the integration of learning across courses, over time, and between campus and community life. Such "integrative learning" helps undergraduates connect an often fragmented educational landscape and develop the habits of mind that prepare them to make informed judgments in their personal, professional, and civic life.
Carnegie is working on this area of learning with the Association of American Colleges and Universities, and with the Wabash Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts, a co-sponsor of the Carnegie Scholars Program.
This year's projects are a natural for Blix. "To me this dovetails perfectly with our vision of the liberal arts," he said.
The Carnegie Scholars will participate in three residencies at the Foundation's Stanford, Calif., headquarters and present their work at professional conferences, attend workshops and institutes, and work with Carnegie Scholars from previous cohorts.
"It's a little intimidating," Blix said. "Mike Axtel, who did this last year, and Charlie Blaich, say the first training session is a little like boot camp."
Axtel, a previous Carnegie Scholar, is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics. Blaich is Director of Inquiries at the Center of Inquiry.
"The Carnegie Scholars Program supports the work of distinguished faculty who are contributing to an emerging scholarship of teaching and learning," said Lee Shulman, president of The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Such work is essential, Shulman explained, because teaching tends to be a private act, limited to the teacher and students. It is rarely evaluated by professional peers. "The result is that those who engage in innovative acts of teaching rarely build upon the work of others. We work to make teaching public, subject to critical evaluation, and usable by others."
Blix is a 1970 Wabash College graduate. He continued his education at the University of Chicago, where he earned his master's degree in 1974 and his Ph.D. in 1988. He taught previously at Wabash from 1988-90, 1993-95, and 1996-98. He also taught at Hampden-Sydney College, Millsaps College and the University of Iowa.

BDN will have more coverage to come but until then, here is Coach K's post game comments-
MODERATOR: Coach will make an opening statement and then he'll take questions.
COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: It's a big‑time game. Shots were so hard to come by. Open shots. Both teams are very, very good defensively. And you know, you get by one guy and you can't ‑‑ it's hard to get to the bucket. You know? And we've not experienced a team like that this year.
But we rebounded very well. We played outstanding defense. And I thought Thomas and Zoubek were the difference‑makers for us. Because I mean they both had 11 rebounds. And Zoubek I thought had the biggest play in the first half where he got the offensive rebound and kicked it out to Singler for a 3 because points were tough to come by. And in the second half he got one, and I don't know how he got it out to Scheyer in the corner. He got it through about four guys and Scheyer hit that 3. And so on two of his offensive rebounds we got 6 points.
We didn't give up a 3 today. So when you get two possessions in this game, where you get 6 points, that's a lot. We missed 53 shots and we had 56 rebounds. You know, that's a very unusual game.
But it's a game where both teams played with a lot of heart and we feel very privileged to have won this game and the NIT Championship with the Carlesimo name on it. The Carlesimo family is like family to me and my family. The trophy is named after one of the great, great men in college basketball history. So it was nice to see Lucy. We call her "Lucia" from the Barcelona Olympics. That's a good thing.
Any questions.
Q. Doug Gottlieb called your team alarmingly unathletic. Did you think today answered that question pretty emphatically?
COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: He should be an expert on alarmingly non‑athletic. So I'll have to take a look at that a little bit closer because it comes from an expert who actually knows what it feels like to be alarmingly non‑athletic.
Actually, we're pretty athletic; we're just not as athletic as Connecticut. Singler is a really good athlete. Lance, Miles. Jon is not leaping tall buildings with a single bound but he's a real good athlete. But I wouldn't call us like this athletic team, but we're not amazingly non‑athletic. And I would rather not get into a discussion with Doug because I have respect of his stature and he should have his arguments with people of similar stature. That would be a good thing.
Q. Stopping the transition was obviously a key. How did you do that in the first half?
COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: Well, we didn't for a while. Walker, he's a jet. We had Wojo scout for this team and I said, "You said he was quick, you didn't say that he was that quick." And we adjusted our defense. What we normally do with a point guard like that is try to corral him at half court with the second big, you know, just to hold him back. And we couldn't get back in time to do that. So after the first TV time‑out, instead of 21 which is our half‑court defense, we went top of the key 11 and just said, "Get back. Don't worry about corral." Everybody is responsible for corralling him, and I thought the rest of the game we did a fairly good job of it.
Q. 25 offensive rebounds on a team like UCONN with their size and athleticism; what do you chalk that up to?
COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: Well, we're big too. Non‑athletic but very big. And so ‑‑ Zoubek and Thomas were huge. We do run sets where our perimeter guys take shots. They took a lot of shots and they should take lot of shots. Our big guys are accustomed to know when those guys take their shots. So we've been working a lot on trying to position ourselves in places where we might get that reshot.
Q. Did you notice anything as far as UCONN leaking out early?
COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: They did.
Q. Was that something you could take advantage of?
COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: I didn't think we could take advantage of ‑‑ I just didn't want ‑‑ they beat us a couple of times early. They blew by us for about six minutes. And then we knew ‑‑ we knew we shouldn't fast break, try to fast break with them the whole game unless we got a turnover.
Q. Meaning that if they're going ‑‑
COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: No, no, we have an extra guy on the boards to crash. We discussed that. But I don't think that was ‑‑ the guys who got the most offensive rebounds were the guys that had on their bigs. They almost made some big plays. We couldn't put the ball back in the basket. A lot of it has to do with their shot‑blocking ability.
Q. In the second half, especially in the second half, even when their guards would get into the lane, can you talk about your help defense?
COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: That's again the big guys were coming over. And at least if they didn't take charges, they were trying to take charges, they got a few blocks. But they distracted the shooter. Kind of like how they did to us.
I thought shooters in the lane today was not a good place to shoot the ball. You know, there was a lot of distractions defensively being made by both teams for those shooters.
Q. Can you talk about Jon Scheyer's game? 19‑5‑5.
COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: Jon is a terrific player. He's a terrific basketball player. He has a great feel for the game. And because he's almost an automatic free‑throw shooter, he's dangerous especially at the end of the game. He values the ball. And although he's not making a lot of great passes, he's not making hardly any turnovers. And he makes simple passes and I think ‑‑ now he has four turnovers for the year. He's the most important player we have, Jon is. Just because he has to have the ball so much.
Q. Kyle, 2‑of‑12, 6 points, he shoots 29 percent. I told you those numbers coming into the game.
COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: I would have been very worried or mad at you. I would have told you to go talk to Doug Gottlieb. You don't have to do that by the way. I won't punish you like that.
Kyle made two bad fouls. I think the nature of the game he slapped down twice and he just can't do that. From then on, we're massaging the game and then he gets three. And so you talk ‑‑ I hate to talk with words like "flow" ‑‑ he never got in the rhythm of the game. He never got in the rhythm of the game. But still, defensively he was on Robinson. I mean, they kind of negated one another. Robinson ‑‑ their perimeter is very, very athletic. Robinson is a big‑time athlete.
Q. When you win a game like this, do you leave here feeling pretty good?
We'll have more on the game a bit later but here are Coach K's post game comments.
COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: Oh, yeah, we feel great. We played against two different types of teams and two teams that I think are going to be in contention in their conference coverages.
We're still missing one of our kids. Mason Plumlee who I think will be a big addition to our team.
The other kid I want to mention is Andre Dawkins. Both of these games he didn't play like a freshman. He was very, very good, very good in both games. And that gives us a little bit more depth on the perimeter.
THE MODERATOR: Last question?
Q. What kind of role do you foresee for him as this develops and he gets more experience?
COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI: He got good time today. He's playing behind our three best players. So the fact he's going to be the first guy off the bench. He can play off those guys because he's as good a shooter as we have. And then if we ever did want to go small and put Kyle at the four, he could be ‑‑ we did have that lineup in for a little bit.
But then the fouls ‑‑ actually, we got a big bucket when we had Kyle at the four. And then we got in foul trouble and we had to get away from it. Andre has been really good for us.
Thank you.

Environmental Organizations in Modern Germany: Hardy Survivors in the Twentieth Century and Beyond
Berghahn Books, 2008 - Business & Economics - 407 pages
German environmental organizations have doggedly pursued environmental protection through difficult times: hyperinflation and war, National Socialist rule, postwar devastation, state socialism in the GDR, and confrontation with the authorities during the 1970s and 1980s. The author recounts the fascinating and sometimes dramatic story of these organizations from their origins at the end of the nineteenth century to the present, with an analysis of the issues and strategic decisions that confront them at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The book describes how environmental organizations reacted to powerful social movements, including the homeland protection and socialist movements in the early years of the twentieth century, the Nazi movement, and the anti-nuclear and new social movements of the 1970s and 1980s, but it also examines their strategies for survival in periods like the current one, when environmental concerns are not at the top of the national agenda. The book joins a growing body of literature about environmental organizations in the U.S. and the UK but is the first book in English about environmental organizations in a non-English speaking country. Previous analyses of environmental organizations have almost invariably viewed them as parts of larger social structures, that is, as components of social movements, as interest groups within a political system, or as contributors to civil society. This book, by contrast, starts from the premise that through the use of theories developed specifically to analyze the behavior of organizations and NGOs we can gain additional insight into why environmental organizations behave as they do.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The NCAA semifinalist Santa Clara University men's soccer team will celebrate the third annual Santa Clara Community Day on Thursday, September 16 when the nationally-ranked Broncos open their home season against rival San Jose State at Buck Shaw Stadium.

Sponsored by the Bank of Santa Clara and the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce and Convention-Visitors Bureau, Santa Clara residents will be able to purchase tickets for half price off an adult admission for only $3.50 with a valid proof of residency, including a driver's license or utility bill.
"The Santa Clara community has been very support of not only our program, but the sport of soccer as well," said head coach Cameron Rast, who played for the Broncos' 1989 national championship squad and has been a part of Bronco soccer since 1988. "The first home match of the season is always special, but with such a great rivalry match to open the season at home, September 16 should be a most exciting night. We certainly appreciate the efforts of the Bank of Santa Clara and the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce and Convention-Visitors Bureau to help make this a memorable evening for everyone."
In addition to watching some of the top collegiate soccer in the country, the evening will also feature a pregame community fair and fan festival featuring local businesses and community organizations. Santa Clara players and coaches will also be available for a post-match autograph session and a number of interactive promotions are planned.
As they have for the past two seasons, local organizations can also become involved in this event. Contact Daniel Galvin for more information at firstname.lastname@example.com or 408-554-4690.

The proverbial six-degrees-of-separation aside, Don Alias, has played with everyone. Active since the late '50s, he stands as easily the most influential percussionist in jazz and one of the few who ever transcended jazz and flamenco successfully and could by all accounts truly swing hard on congas. Alias has created or added an almost spiritual dimension to the pivotal work of Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell (touring with the dream band of Mike Becker, Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays), Sting, David Sanborn, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Mike Stern, John Scofield, George Benson, Lou Rawls, Roberta Flack, Blood Sweat and Tears, and Weather Report. The list is nearly endless. But like all great art, his music will continue to press the truth about all that is music, all that is art, all that is spiritual and human, and the apex of each.
Among musicians it's a well known fact that, beyond all other instrumentalists, percussionists and drummers tend to have an innate and immediate connection, camaraderie and simpatico with each otherthat sense of being instant brotherssomething the likes of Jack DeJohnette, Peter Erskine and Tony Williams could easily attest to, relative to Alias.
Though no doubt whatever Alias decided to do with his life would have benefited from his innate sensitivity and ability to listen and instantly respond, his original focus was medicine and biochemistry. But after early stints with Nina Simone as her musical director, and tours with Dizzy Gillespie, word spread fast and Alias soon became a top call percussionist.
Alias was nothing if not full of life and energy. He truly livedcompletely and to the edge. He always wanted to do itwhatever "it was"right now," and put all of himself into it, because he knew life would always intervene, and it would happen whether we're living it or not. Don knew how to do it and showed that, with every blistered finger, every knowing grin, every drop of blood and sweat he paid to do this gig he so loved, and made us lovelife and musiche could make them one.
I last spoke with Alias on Sunday March 19, 2006 for close to an hour-and-a-half, and at the end, since he was tired and we'd still barely scratched the surface, we decided to set up another time to talk in the following week or two. Being in autobiographical mode, he was excited but not just about the interviewhe was excited about everything, and seemed ready to jump on any and every project equally and immediately. But life intervened this time. The first week blurred into the second, and by Wednesday, March 29 there was an incredibly disturbing rumor going around that Don had passed in his apartment sometime Tuesday, March 28, just nine days after we'd talked. The worst part was that it wasn't a rumor. Don will be profoundly missed by so many. What follows is Don's final interview.
All About Jazz: Originally you were studying biochemistry. How did that get turned around, 'cause that's really a stretch isn't it?
Don Alias: Yeah, it sure was. When I was coming up the drum thing kind of started with the guys around the block, you know what I mean? Me and my brother, when we were about eight, nine, ten years old we grew up with the calypso thing, not the reggae thing. My family's from St. Maarten in the West Indies and we were surrounded with the calypso thing, you know. That's what the feel was. Harry Belafonte was out doing his thing so we were surrounded with that kind of music, so me and my brother started playing that stuff around the house and we got hanging with the guys on the block and kind of added a bit of calypso to it. And we used to actually go out in the street and down in the subway and if my mother had caught us she would've killed us [laughs]she just didn't want us to be doing thatand we just started doing it like that.
I wasn't playing the conga drums and I had these tiny little drums and he would sing and people would throw money so we'd make a little change. We ended up abruptly getting caught [laughs] doing it! And we were asked to do a kind of audition at a famous club in Harlem called the Baby Grand so we snuck out of the house and went down there and she came downstairs and my feet were sticking out of the covers 'cause I'm kind of tall and she said, "wait a minute" and she tracked us down through the neighbors in the block and came down and busted us at the Baby Grand playin'.
They wouldn't allow us in the club so we played in front of the club. And when I say busted I mean busted. And there was this Eartha Kitt dance foundation at the Harlem YMCA and they were looking for some drummers to perform with her dance foundation. You've gotta remember, for a guy who's playing conga drums in Harlem, to play for a dance group, that was really an ultimate thing, for guys like us. Because what you do is play for half an hour or 45 minutes while they're dancing around and you get a lot of stamina and training; you learn a lot of stuff with the drummers. So I joined this Eartha Kitt Dance Foundation and one day she decided that she would come in and teach a class.
And, that was quite a deal. She was a star at the time and she had all these records but she brought in like two of her own drummers and these guys were like really pros. They were professional players, you know? I wasn't even near where they were and they started to play for the dancers and I started to play and they looked at me and they very, very consciously and judiciously, for their own satisfaction, told me, "why don't you stop playing and listen . That's what I did. I was a little embarrassed by it but I did.
So I started listening and started picking up things and different rhythms. I can give you a lot of titles...a lot of Haitian rhythms; there's one called a Yambalou. And then Eartha Kitt got invited to the Newport Jazz Festival. This is '57. And Dizzy Gillespie had gotten into Afro-Cuban music 'cause he had the great percussionist, Chaz Rebozo, who was into like the religious playing. And anyway, Chaz Rebozzo hummed some of these melodies; this is how some of those tunes came about and they turned out things like "Quantaka? and "Tin Tin Deo and all of these great tunes he recorded. But here he was with Eartha Kitt and the tunes they picked out were "Tin Tin Deo and she could've scared me with playing these tunes.
And then she turned around and at the jazz festival and said ' I want to take you' I said, "what? . And she picked me over the guyI must've learned a lot during that periodbut she picked me over the other guys and they didn't really like that too much. And my first name was Charles, my middle name is Donald and she called me Charles. She said, "Charlie, we're going to go up to Newport and I want you to go with me.
And I said, "Oh, my God " I went back in and told my mom and of course she was like, "What? You've got to be kidding me. I said, "Mom, this is like Eartha Kitt, so she said, "Okay, you can go up there. I mean, there's a picture of me in the New York Times in July at the festival on a Sunday.
Start your music shopping from All About Jazz and you'll support us in the process. Learn how.

Like the Oscars, the Tony Awards are preceded each year by a bevy of award shows that renders the main event something of a foregone conclusion.
This Broadway season, many of the front-runners have become clear relatively quickly, with the big-top-themed revival of "Pippin" and the new play "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" by Christopher Durang expected to prevail on Tony night.
Both productions took home the top honors in their categories on Sunday at the Drama Desk Awards, held at Town Hall in New York. They also won big at the Drama League Awards held Friday at the Marriott Marquis.
Durang's play debuted at the McCarter Theatre in New Jersey last year and then off-Broadway at Lincoln Center's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater before transferring to Broadway this year at the John Golden Theatre.
The comedy, which stars Sigourney Weaver and David Hyde Pierce, was also named the season's best play by the New York Drama Critics' Circle earlier this month.
"Pippin," a revival of the 1972 Stephen Schwartz musical, is a production from American Repertory Theatre in Massachusetts. The company brought "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" to Broadway last season. Both revivals were directed by Diane Paulus.
In the musical category, it's a race between two British-flavored productions -- "Matilda," the family-friendly Royal Shakespeare Company import based on the Roald Dahl book, and "Kinky Boots," the adaptation of the 2005 British movie about a drag queen who saves a shoe factory.
"Matilda" won the award for new musical at the Drama Desk Awards on Sunday, while "Kinky Boots" took home the equivalent honor on Friday at the Drama League. "Matilda" may have a slight edge because it was also honored at the New York Drama Critics' Circle and picked up seven Olivier Awards in 2012 for its London run.
The category for revival of a play has so far been dominated by Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" which has taken home prizes from the Drama Desk and the Drama League.
In the acting categories, Cicely Tyson seems a shoo-in for the revival of Horton Foote's "The Trip to Bountiful." The veteran performer won the Drama Desk award for actress in a play on Sunday.
Nathan Lane is a favorite to win another Tony for his performance in "The Nance," but he has competition from Tracy Letts in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
The Tony Awards ceremony is set for June 9 at Radio City Music Hall and is to be broadcast on CBS.

2012 was a big year for Nike with plenty of modern reiterations of classic silhouettes along with the introduction of many new ones that are sure to be around for a while. They couldn't have come at a better time either as one of the biggest trends over the past year was pairing trainers with everything – from proper running gear to full-on white devil business suits.
So as the year comes to an end, we decided to take a look back at the myriad of options now available and soon to come. Since the trend shows no sign of slowing down (and because we're all for it), we came up with this thorough guide as a reference for the dizzying amount of trainers produced by the sporting good giant. Take a look below for the full guide.
First up is the colorful and now classic Nike Free. The Free was first introduced in 2005 as the Free 5.0. The numbering indicates the amount of cushioning provided by the shoe with 3.0 having the least and 7.0 having the most (so far). The trainer was developed shortly after Nike representatives noticed their sponsored athletes training barefoot, and in an effort to keep their feet fitted, set their sights on what would soon become the Nike Free.
The Free Run+2 ended the year just as strong as it began with the burgundy and black colorways. The sneakers feature a combination of nylon, suede leather, and heavy duty laces designed for outdoor wear along with a speckled sole for Nike's "urban" look. The small swoosh sits next to the heel allowing for the Run+2's moon-like design to come to the forefront. It's an interesting choice in Nike's infinite canon and adds a certain something to what might otherwise be a boring outfit.
Next up is the soon-to-be-released Free Huarache Light "Ultramarine". While not for everyone, we can't help but be charmed by the nostalgia-inducing colorway paired against the suede and mesh upper. The result is a sneaker that screams childhood like no other pair out there. If only I could go back in time and bring a pair of these with me on Nickelodeon's Legends of the Hidden Temple.
Bringing us back to the adult world of business and responsibility is the Free Trainer 3.0 due out in January 2013. The sneaker combines a mesh upper with enforced polyurethane support and is covered with strand-like lines that increase and decrease with size over the shoe, creating a pattern that is extremely supportive yet flexible. The 3.0 on the Free scale indicates a barefoot-like running experience, or if you're like us at Highsnobiety, a barefoot-like sitting experience. Not that that's a problem though, as the intricate pattern created by the strand-like lines creates an interesting texture perfect for livening up any monochromatic outfit.
Undoubtedly Nike's most impressive debut of the year was the Flyknit, which features a single-layer knitted upper. Weighing in at just 5.6 ounces, the Flyknit is among Nike's lightest shoe ever; an impressive feat considering its very wearable appeal. The Flyknit Racer even earned a place on Time's Best Inventions of the Year 2012 for its intricate knitting along with its precision fit. In short, the Flyknit is the type of shoe that markets itself.
Thanks to the shoe's construction, the amount of detailing is astounding regardless of color like this subtle Flyknit Trainer+. The white knitting against the mostly black upper creates a smart contrast just bold enough to give it that contemporary edge.
Another interesting option is the upcoming Flyknit One+ Blue/Volt. Unlike other Flyknit's, the One+ lies on top of a Lunarlon outer sole. The effect is a slightly sportier silhouette set against a beautiful blue/volt colorway. The eye-catching contrast allows the One+ to be paired with any sort of outfit, from dark to colorful.
We recently took a first look at the Flyknit One Spring/Summer 2013 collection and are already counting down the days to their release; mostly because we are ready for winter to be over, but also to get our hands on a pair of these. While some colorways are a bit more colorful and loud than others, we are 100% fine with any of them.
While not technically a trainer, the Roshe Run has had a phenomenal debut year and is this writer's personal favorite. In fact, I'm wearing my Red Roshe Runs as I type this. (I'm not really, but for the sake of this story I am.)
The shoe's development is as interesting as the amount of colors the sneaker now comes in. Dylan Raasch, the sneaker's designer, began designing the Roshe Run in 2010 during his free time as an exercise in bringing value and style to a $70 sneaker. Both the inspiration and concept of the shoe come from Raasch's Zen-like philosophy – the word "Roshi", in fact, is a title given to a Zen Master. Since its debut, we've seen the shoe in every outfit imaginable which is not a coincidence according to Raasch: "I designed it so it could be worn barefoot or with socks. You could dress up or down in it, travel with it, walk or run in it, chill in it, almost anything. I felt the simpler I could make it, the more profound it would become."
I can certainly attest to the shoe's ability to be worn barefoot as can anyone within a 20-foot radius whenever I take them off.
Closing up the Roshe Run's debut year is the Premium NRG. Available in 2 different colorways, the NRG utilizes premium textile overlays and a reinforced nylon toe, while oilcloth and waterproof nubuck add to the sneakers water-resistant capabilities. Thanks to the special materials used, the NRG can complement an already sophisticated outfit or bring up a simple, effortless one.
The near future of the shoe looks even brighter with the likes of the insta-cop all black woven. The sneaker, due out in early 2013, feature tonal uppers with a mixture of premium suede and woven mesh. The dark color in combination with the unique materials adds a tasteful, subtle touch to any outfit – casual or formal.
Rounding off this list is the Nike Lunar. Although Lunar technically refers only to the cushiony outer sole, the sole's uniqueness deserves its own spot. We saw the Lunarlon everywhere this year from the Pre Montreal Vintage Lunar Racer to the Lunar Blazer, and that is more than fine by us. The Lunar successfully allowed Nike to fuse many old and classic silhouettes with new technologies and colors.
Take, for instance, the Vortex Vintage Lunar QS with its vintage treated-leather upper, mesh, and nylon detailing set against a striking light blue Lunarlon sole. Even my hard-to-impress and needless to say, dashing, coworker Fritz was sold on them. If these trainers have his seal of approval then they definitely have my seal of approval.
Another end of the year treat from Nike is the Lunar Flow Woven LTH Holiday Pack. Once again, a woven leather upper makes an appearance this time against a speckled, colored, Lunarlon outer sole. The sneaker, with its blend of materials, contrasting colors and patterns, is essentially a killing-it outfit condensed into a pair of shoes. Thus, the only thing that can happen when paired with an already killing-it outfit is an even more killing-it outfit.
Last up is the Lunar Safari Fuse+ which is really the only sneaker deserving of the title "Lunar". I wouldn't be surprised if these became the official shoe of NASA astronauts. Actually I would, because that would be crazy irresponsible of NASA. Luckily, most of us are positioned here on earth where things like black/violet-stadium green colorways are more relevant than picking up rocks on the moon.
So there you have it: dozens of great trainers are already on the market and just as many are to be released in the near future. Stay tuned next week where we'll take a look back on the scores of offerings from classic sneaker brand New Balance.

The St. Ann Bridge in Bourg closed Monday so crews can build a new one that is scheduled to reopen late next year.
The St. Ann Bridge in Bourg closed Monday so crews can build a new one that is scheduled to reopen late next year.
The shutdown has resulted in traffic congestion, some residents said.
Over the past work week, residents say they tried to adjust to the change and additional traffic on surrounding streets that they believe stems from the construction.
"I understand that new construction is necessary for that area, but the way this town is going about it is all wrong in my opinion," said Tellie Christofferson, 36, of Bourg.
The bridge, which connects Country Drive and La. 24 over Bayou Terrebonne, is being demolished to make way for a new span.
The current structure has one lane, 14 feet wide, and opens by swinging to one side. The new bridge will be two lanes, or about 33 feet wide.
The project will cost about $4.2 million and is supposed to be complete by August 2013.
Residents cite the Prospect Bridge's two-year closure and the future Country Drive widening projects as other reasons for their concern.
Since the St. Ann Bridge closed, some said, traffic backs up on other roads motorists use to detour around the Prospect Bridge construction, such as the elevated road connecting Presque Isle and Country Drive near South Terrebonne High School.
"I feel the Prospect Bridge project should have been completed before the St. Ann bridge project started. It would have been a better solution to hold the bridge closure in Bourg until then. Now, we have two main bridges to the east-Houma area closed for God knows how long," Christofferson said.
Parish President Michel Claudet said that inconvenience should end this summer. The Prospect Bridge is scheduled to reopen by Sept. 1, he said.
"The opening date for the Prospect Bridge has been pushed back a few times, but I'm confident in the latest date I received. I really do trust this latest information," he said.
The two-lane Prospect drawbridge was demolished and replaced with a $27-million a six-lane span.
The widening of Country Drive in Bourg is set to begin in 2013. The work is designed to improve traffic flow and safety along the two-lane corridor, which runs between Presque Isle Drive and Montegut, officials said.
The $4 million project will widen each of the existing lanes from 9 to 11 feet and add a 4-foot wide paved shoulder on each side. No new lanes will be added.
The work will be done in two phases. The first part will focus on the stretch between Presque Isle Drive and Jeff Drive. The second phase will pick up at Jeff Drive and continue to La. 24.
The price tag is expected to total about $4 million, and much of the money is coming from the state transportation department and the Metropolitan Planning Organization, which will pay 80 percent of the cost. Terrebonne Parish taxpayers will pay the remaining 20 percent or about $800,000.
Public Works officials aren't sure exactly when construction will begin. It was approved by the state Transportation Department in 2010.
Local drivers said they are glad the work will be done on Country Drive, but they are concerned about the timing, adding that Country Drive traffic has been horrible since Monday and will be even worse when the road is closed for construction.
"I can't even begin to express what kind of traffic problems we will face once school starts," Christofferson said.
Britney Bouquet, 27, agreed that she isn't looking forward to school traffic either.
"I so hate it. People speed like crazy, and there are hardly ever any cops. It's not going to be fun once the teenagers and bus riders start up in August. I'm dreading it," she said.

Revolution, TFC clash at Gillette
Foxborough, MA – The New England Revolution will aim to continue their positive momentum on Saturday as the club hosts Toronto FC at Gillette Stadium.
The Revolution are coming off their best performance of the season last Saturday at BBVA Compass Stadium in a 2-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo, which put an end to Houston's historic 36-match home unbeaten streak.
After a scoreless opening 45 minutes, Diego Fagundez struck first for the Revs in the 51st minute when he completed a clever one-two with Clyde Simms to break through the Houston defense before blasting it past goalkeeper Tally Hall.
New England sealed the unlikely result with an own goal from Ricardo Clark to send the Houston faithful home disappointed.
"I thought we had a good game plan coming in, and our guys performed really well at the beginning of the game and really set the tone early," Revs head coach Jay Heaps said.
"We wanted to come here and play and put them under pressure. Obviously, throughout the game a lot of things happen. You deal with things, they had to deal with a couple of things. It was a little strange having to play a match ten on ten, but I felt we adapted well. They're a great team and we take our hat off to them but we're excited for the win."
Toronto, meanwhile, is coming off a 1-0 setback against Trillium Cup rivals Columbus Crew at Crew Stadium.
The Reds had several opportunities over the course of 90 minutes but lacked a finishing touch and paid the price when Federico Higuain lofted one through both Toronto central defenders to the feet of Dominic Oduro, who calmly fired it home to give the Crew all three points.
The loss extended Toronto's winless run in league play to nine consecutive matches and the Reds have not claimed three points since a 2-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City on March 9.
The Reds have also lost four consecutive games and are 1-16-8 in their last 25 league games, dating back to July 28. 2012.
"Obviously, we have come out the wrong end of it again," said TFC defender Darren O'Dea. "It seems like it was like a lot of games this season where we could have won the game. We play better than teams but do not come out on the right side of the score line."
The clubs have met 13 times all-time with New England claiming three wins and Toronto taking three victories, while the sides have drawn six times.
In seven matchups between the sides in New England, the Revs have won four times.

Susan Henry, a successful geneticist and administrator, is stepping down from a deanship at Cornell to return to the teaching faculty. She reflected to The-Scientist.com about juggling university service with science. Some of her recommendations apply to all faculty in an academic medical center juggling competing demands.
- Schedule time for your own work and defend it. The administrative tasks tend to expand and often seem urgent because someone else is relying on you to finish your part of a project. It's crucial to block off a half day each week or a couple of hours each day to devote to your own intellectual work.
- Ask for advice. Few academics receive any training to be managers or administrators. Nor do we have the luxury of learning on the job over time. Fortunately, universities are full of chairs, deans, and leaders who have experience in service. Talking to them is a way to accelerate the learning curve.
- Make yourself visible. It's easy to allow your time to be consumed by meetings with other campus leaders. But, as an administrator, your job is to support everyone's professional development. You have to attend seminars, receptions, and even drop in on colleagues' offices to stay connected.
Administration is often seen as antithetical to science, but I'm realizing in my role that researchers depend on a healthy infrastructure to accomplish their goals. To work together, it helps if administrators come from the faculty and retain their connections to scholarship.

Quite a few incidents have been reported by police officials over the past week or so.
Quite a few incidents have been reported by police officials over the past week or so.
In Honesdale Borough, police were called on Aug. 3 to a report of a vehicle which had collided with a house on Hillside Avenue. The call came in at around 10:40 a.m.
According to Honesdale Borough Police Chief Joe LoBasso, a 2000 Mercedes SUV owned by Rebecca Sutter was parked in the driveway on Hillside Avenue while she was loading the vehicle.
According to police, there were two children inside of the SUV.
Police said the vehicle "suddenly rolled backwards" down the driveway crossing Hillside Avenue.
The vehicle, with the back hatch open, rolled into a house across the street. It came to rest right in front of a picture window. The children were not injured in the incident.
Police said the house sustained "considerable damage." Nobody inside the house was injured.
Rescued driver
The Pennsylvania State Police reported that some passers by helped pull an area woman out of a burning vehicle this week.
According to the PSP, at 7:23 p.m., Tuesday, police were called to State Road 191 near Beaver Run Road in Cherry Ridge Township to a report of a crash.
Police said the driver, Sara Vandergriff, 21, Newfoundland, apparently lost control of her northbound small SUV and it exited the northbound lane of the highway.
The vehicle then traveled up an embankment before striking a mailbox and overturning on the passenger's side. The vehicle came to rest and caught fire with Vandergriff trapped inside wearing her seat belt.
Two drivers, William Lather and Gordon Potratz, were traveling on 191 and stopped their vehicles along with an unknown female and rushed to the burning vehicle.
Potratz suppled a knife to Lather who cut Vandergriff out of the seat belt to free her. They then got her out of the car and pulled her away from the burning vehicle.
Vandergriff was treated on the scene by Honesdale EMS and then flown by helicopter to the hospital. Her condition was not listed in the report.
Lake Ariel Fire Department officials arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire.
The PSP reported they were unable to determin the make of the SUV because it "was completely burned."
Trooper Adam Kowalczyk of the Honesdale Barracks was the investigating officer.
Hit and run
Honesdale Borough Police are investigating a hit and run incident involving a bicyclist which happened on Aug. 1.
At 4 p.m., police were called to the intersection of Willow Avenue and Brown Street where it was reported a bicyclist had been struck by a car.
The investigation revealed that Faith Calise, 32, was crossing the crosswalk on Brown Street while riding her bike when it was struck by a vehicle. It was reported to be a green colored vehicle which came down Brown Street. After striking Calise, the vehicle turned left and the driver fled the scene.
The victim was taken to Wayne Memorial Hospital where she was treated and released.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Honesdale Borough Police at 570-253-1900.
Another incident
Honesdale Borough Police are investigating another incident of criminal mischief at the Honesdale Little League field on Grove Street.
This is the second incident within a few weeks in which someone caused damage to the facility. Police said the damage happened sometime between Aug. 1 and Aug. 3.
In this incident, a bulletin board was torn from a wall and a Port-O-Potty was tipped over and damaged.
Call Honesdale Borough Police if you have any information about this incident.
Harassment complaint
A New Jersey man was cited for harassment following an incident in Palmyra Township in Pike County.
According to the PSP, police were called to the 100 block of Old School House Road at 3:15 p.m. on Aug. 5.
The victim, Darren Griffin of Quacking Lane, Lake Ariel, reported he was riding in the car with another person and they noticed a man motioning them to stop.
When they did, David Rumpf, Carteret, N.J., "walked over the vehicle, grabbed the victim by his neck and attempted to pull him out of the vehicle through the passenger window," according to the PSP report.
Police reported the driver drove away before the man could get Griffin out of the car. Griffin sustained a laceration and a ripped shirt during the altercation.
Rumpf told police that Griffin had driven by his residence, earlier leaned out of his window and made a obscene gesture toward his wife. The report said it "caused him to get agitated" and he yelled for him to stop, which police said he did. Rumpf did admit to grabbing the victim before they drove off.
He was cited into local court.
