EA Sports' lucrative FIFA franchise has been running for many a year now, scoring a mixture of goals and own-goals over the years, particularly during competition with Pro Evolution Soccer since moving into three dimensions. The last few releases, however, have demonstrated huge improvements bringing the series into its all-time best era. Does FIFA 12 keepy-uppy the run of form?
If you don't know your Arsenal from your elbow, don't worry. FIFA 12 still proves to be an compelling representation of the beautiful game, accessible to both those who have only the vaguest grasp of the rules of football as well as fans that follow it like a religion. As ever, it's simple for anybody to hop into a game and start haphazardly passing the ball around – if the lower difficulty settings are used with the AI assistance applied generously. For those after an experience more closely resembling the Champions League than a Sunday pub league, however, there is plenty of room to bump up the challenge level and adjust the AI to a perfect mix of annoyance and enjoyment through the vast range of customisable sliders that allow everything from player sprint speed to shot accuracy to be kicked into touch.
A wall that may prevent FIFA 12 from instantly appealing, however, is the complete reworking of the defence system. No longer is it possible to simply run into opponents and snatch the ball away; the primary method now involves tracking and marking players properly, jockeying in front and around to unnerve and force them to make mistakes or unfavourable moves. Tackling still plays its role, but it's now far more effective to tightly stick to troublesome players and call in back up from a team mate to lessen the chances of surprise manoeuvre.
Initially it's not easy, a fact made immediately obvious by EA's decision to include an in-depth tutorial before playing a game proper. The number of buttons required simultaneously to make the most of the overhaul – spread across the shoulders and face of the controller – is daunting even to adept football gamers. Struggle through the tough learning curve, though, and it becomes apparent that the changes are for the better. Matches are more realistic affairs — there are fewer charges up the field into shock goals with far more battles in midfield.
If you do manager to break away you'll find further consideration has to be given to attacking approaches than before, as the simple single player dash and shoot method has a far lower rate of success against similarly paced teams. Own-half defensive scrambles are more desperate than ever, but it's balanced by a greater feeling of control. If the new approach proves unsatisfying even after practice, though, the old controls are still present, albeit not default and unfortunately unusable in certain online modes.
A second revamp comes through the Player Impact Engine, which bids to add realism in its own way through the way players physically interact with one another. Clipping another player with a shoulder will barge them out of the way or knock them over completely, for example. With this system injuries are more regular and obvious, but the engine is not without its faults. There have been countless examples of ridiculous, exaggerated physics faux pas since the release of FIFA 12's beta, and they make it into the final game also, though thankfully only semi-regularly. On occasion the illusion built up elsewhere is shattered by players falling atop others, only to be flung through the air when the player beneath clambers to their feet. A slight nudge can send somebody spinning like a top. It's hilarious, but it's pretty certain that this wasn't the intended effect.
FIFA 12 holds more modes than you can fling a football boot at. There are your standard exhibition matches – ideal for evenings with friends or getting in a quick game solo – but those looking for more expanded footballing fun can find it in plenty of other places. The home menus now feature more of a social aspect. Ticker tapes relay real-life match results and EA Sports information as before, and the big boxes boasting about buddies' best ballgames makes a return, poking at you to try and score a goal more quickly than your rivals in the one-on-one arena practice sessions that pop up as matches load in. On top of this are prompts from EA to take on challenges based upon actual events. Scenarios from recent matches are regularly added, tasking players with, as a completely made-up example, playing as Liverpool and coming back from a 2 – 0 deficit to a win with 15 minutes left on the clock.
There's also the Support Your Club aside, wherein every team per country is put into a league, their positioning decided by how well their fans play FIFA 12. Upon the original boot up players are asked to input their favourite team, and from then on every one of each clubs' fans' results across all modes, no matter what teams are being controlled, are tracked and added to a formula to calculate how well each club will perform in the league table. The best clubs are promoted to the next league up, the worst demoted, on a weekly basis. Smaller clubs are not disadvantaged by their size, as league positions here are determined by the average play quality of their supporters; a club with a few consistently perfect fans will be in better shape than one with a thousand times the followers that play pathetically. Given a huge share of FIFA 12 fandom, and thus a higher amount of dreadful performers, Manchester United were predictably sent tumbling to the nPower Championship and beyond within days.
Up to eleven friends can play in the same side online with their own created Be A Pro players to compete in leagues. Be A Pro characters improve in whichever mode they are played in, gaining better statistics for scoring certain goals or running for certain distances, so it's best to use them whenever possible to grab an advantage online. The range of possible creations is broad, from the normal looking to the nightmare-inducing.
The riveting career mode – as a player, player-manager or manager – makes a welcome return to soak up countless hours once more. It's not as involving as Football Manager, of course, but it is more absorbing than ever, particularly if you take on a managerial role. The transfer market, despite the frequent ludicrous amounts requested making the real world's inflated rates look half-reasonable, is more tempting than previous outings. The enhanced transfer deadline day sections can be tense and bountiful at once; an irresistible offer might tip in for an important player with mere hours to go, leaving scant time before the transfer window closes to fill the hole torn in the team through sheer insurmountable greed. Scouting networks have been improved too, with scouts able to be sent worldwide in the hunt for talented young starry-eyed teenagers to boost a club's future prospects. Existing players will pop up to complain without enough or too much play – it's more of a balancing game than ever.
The breakout mode of recent FIFAs has been the football card-based Ultimate Team, a quest to build a formidable side from whatever random elements are given. Beginning with a fairly weak deck, players must construct a team and play matches, online and offline, to gain points that can then be spent on new packs of cards and increase the team's collective skill. With more points better packs can be bought – bronze, silver, gold – to try and add superstars to the usual band of misfits, though play a team long enough and they will build chemistry together for stacks of handy stat increases. For the impatient, the more dangerous world of micro-transactions is more than happy to open its doors to sell Ultimate Team packs for real world currency.
EA have done a sterling job with FIFA 12, bringing back everything enjoyable about FIFA 11 and adding more on top. There are still surely things it could do better – even more recorded commentary is always desirable, and the Player Impact Engine's sporadic lunacy is there to be tuned, but FIFA 12 launches to the very top of the sports game table thanks to its numerous improvements in both core gameplay and mode selection.

Hosted by Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Wisconsin National Agenda
In addition to all the core curricular areas included in the general educational curriculum, students with a visual impairment need to be assessed and receive instruction in very specific skills that have been demonstrated to be potential problem areas for persons with a visual disability.
Compensatory Skills, Including Communication Modes
Compensatory Skills, Including Communication Modes, involve the use of tools, adaptations, modifications and behaviors that maximize the student's opportunity to access the environment, educational activities, information, and basic human needs. "Communication needs of students with visual impairment will vary, depending on the degree of functional vision, the effects of additional disabilities, and the task to be done. Children may communicate through braille, large print, print with the use of optical aids, regular print, tactile books, a calendar system, sign language, recorded materials, or combinations of these means." Other compensatory skills may include, but are not limited to: writing adaptations, computer keyboarding, study and organizational skills, abacus, use of the tape recorder and accessing information through the auditory and tactile senses. Visual impairment and blindness may result in a need for specialized instruction in concept development, spatial awareness, and listening skills. Use of compensatory skills will minimize the effects of reduced vision and will provide access to the same learning opportunities that sighted peers have.
Orientation and Mobility
Orientation and Mobility is a "vital area of learning, which requires delivery by teachers with specific preparation. It emphasizes the fundamental need and basic right of people who are visually impaired to travel as independently as possible, enjoying and learning to the greatest extent possible from the environment through which they are passing. Students will need to learn about themselves and the environment in which they move from basic body image to independent travel in rural areas and busy cities." Developing body concepts, spatial awareness, orientation strategies and an understanding of the world are building blocks for age-appropriate, independent travel for students who are blind or have low vision. Students need to develop problem-solving strategies necessary to travel in familiar and unfamiliar school and community settings. All students with visual impairment need an Orientation and Mobility assessment regardless of the mode of travel (foot, wheelchair, walker, or other) and whether vision is the only impairment or one of several. Optimizing the use of residual vision may require the use of low-vision aids such as telescopes and sunglasses, or strategies such as wearing hats or visors to reduce glare. The white cane is a common travel and identification tool used by many individuals who are blind or visually impaired. A certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist is qualified to provide instruction in the use of the white cane and to address the specialized assessments and needs referred to in this paragraph.
Social Interaction Skills
Good Social Interaction Skills are essential if students are to successfully apply skills learned in other curricular areas. "Sighted children and adults have learned almost all their social skills by visually observing other people and behaving in socially appropriate ways based on that information. Individuals who are blind and visually impaired cannot learn skills of social interaction in this casual and incidental fashion. They learn them through careful, conscious, and sequential teaching." These skills enable the student to access basic human needs, such as companionship, healthy and safe social relationships, information to solve their own problems, enjoyment of recreation/leisure activities, and to advocate for themselves. Understanding the role of body language, facial expressions, gestures and vocal tones is especially important when the visual cues cannot be seen. Students need to be selfadvocates in a socially acceptable manner, and accept or decline help graciously. " Instruction in these skills is such a fundamental need that it can often mean the difference between social isolation and a satisfying and fulfilling life as an adult."
Independent Living Skills and Personal Management
Independent Living Skills and Personal Management skills are an essential and often overlooked need area for students who are visually impaired. "This area encompasses all the tasks and functions people perform, according to their abilities, in order to live as independently as possible. These curricular needs are varied and include among others, skills in personal hygiene, food preparation, money, time management, home management, and organization of personal belongings." In addition, students need to learn self-advocacy skills and develop an understanding of how a society functions. "Traditional classes in home economics and family life are not enough to meet the learning needs of most students with a visual impairment because they assume a basic level of knowledge, acquired incidentally through vision. As with the skills of social interaction, blind and visually impaired students cannot learn these skills without direct, sequential instruction by knowledgeable people."
Recreation and Leisure
Recreation and Leisure experiences and skills are important for quality of life during the school age years and beyond. With adaptations, modifications and safety supervision, students who are blind or visually impaired can participate in many of the same individual and group activities enjoyed by sighted peers. "Sighted people usually select such activities by visually observing them and choosing those in which they wish to participate. Recreation and leisure skills must be deliberately planned and taught to blind and visually impaired students and should focus on the development of life-long skills." In addition to traditional games and activities, there are games such as goalball and beeper baseball, which were designed for playing with low or no vision. Basic motor skills, as well as cooperative play strategies, often need to be taught in a specific manner in order to maximize success. Students need exposure to a healthy balance of solitary, social, passive and physical activities. Students should be aware of state and national organizations that promote recreation, leisure and sporting activities for the visually impaired. There is high correlation between recreation experiences, satisfaction with life, and self-esteem because of the opportunity for human interaction.
Career and Vocational Education
Career and Vocational Education focuses on skills, experiences, and adaptations necessary to understand, prepare for and access the world of work. "However, many of the knowledge and skills offered to all students through vocational education will not be sufficient to prepare students who are blind and visually impaired for adult life." Career and vocational education must be specifically designed to fit students' needs, "because here, too, general instruction assumes a basic knowledge of the world of work based on prior visual experiences. Career and vocational education in an expanded core curriculum should begin in the earliest grades." This can provide "visually impaired learners of all ages the opportunity to learn first-hand about the variety of work people do," through strategies such as role-playing, peer mentoring, and job shadowing. As the students progress, curriculum must be structured to address personal strengths and weaknesses, work habits, ethics, workplace social skills, vocational interests, personal options, and specific skills training programs. For older students needs may include, but are not limited to, such areas as:
- Media-adapted tests (SAT, ACT, vocational interest inventories, civil service exams, etc.)
- Resources:
- financial assistance (general and those specific to the blind and visually impaired);
- coordination with adult service providers--vocational rehabilitation or local county support services, or specialized training programs;
- specialized product or equipment adaptations Self-advocacy skills (understanding disclosure issues of visual impairment to potential employers, etc.)
- Employment-seeking skills (locating job openings, completing job applications, interview skills, etc.)
- Employment-keeping skills (developing personal on-the-job adaptations as the need arises)
"Unemployment and underemployment continue to be leading problems facing adult visually impaired individuals in the United States, making this portion of the expanded core curriculum vital for students of all ages."
Assistive Technology
Assistive Technology enables a person with a visual impairment to independently perform a task or job that they might otherwise be able to complete only with assistance. Assistive technology is any tool, piece of equipment or system used or adapted to fill a specific need, or to assist a person with a visual impairment in completing a task. Assistive technology can include tools made specifically for the visually impaired, such as: braille devices, closed circuit televisions, magnifiers, and monocular telescopes. It can also include large screen monitors, adapted computer system software, voice output devices and commonly used aids such as white canes, visors, and sunglasses. Training in the efficient use and maintenance of assistive technology increases the potential for maximum involvement in all areas of curriculum and in life.
Visual Efficiency Skills
Visual Efficiency Skills refer to the manner, technique or approach a student uses to complete a visual task as effectively and efficiently as possible. "The visual acuity of children diagnosed as visually impaired varies greatly. With thorough, systematic training, most students with functional vision can learn to use their remaining vision better and more efficiently." Using the best strategies to maximize acuity levels is one component of efficient visual functioning. Interpreting visual information is another component. Efficient use of vision, aided by optical and non-optical aids and strategies, correlates highly to success in the classroom. Students learn about their eye condition and how it affects visual tasks, what aids and strategies are most useful, and how to explain their visual needs to others.

Anorexia nervosa is highly prevalent among young women.
To determine prevalence and predictive factors for regional bone loss.
Prospective cohort analysis.
University hospital.
130 women with anorexia nervosa.
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.
The prevalence of osteopenia (−1.0 SD ≥ T-score > −2.5 SD) and osteoporosis (T-score ≤ −2.5 SD) was 50% and 13% for the anterior–posterior spine, 57% and 24% for the lateral spine, and 47% and 16% for the total hip, respectively. Bone mineral density (BMD) was reduced by at least 1.0 SD at one or more skeletal sites in 92% of patients and by at least 2.5 SD in 38% of patients. Weight was the most consistent predictor of BMD at all skeletal sites. Twenty-three percent of patients were current estrogen users, and 58% were previous estrogen users. Bone mineral density did not differ by history of estrogen use at any site.
Bone mineral density is reduced at several skeletal sites in most women with anorexia nervosa. Weight, but not estrogen use, is a significant predictor of BMD in this population at all skeletal sites.

We believe it is important for our children to wear uniform. It increases the feeling of belonging to our school. It reduces difficulties that arise out of children wanting to wear specific items to school that may not be appropriate.
We strive to provide a good quality uniform that is affordable and that is available from a variety of outlets.
Our school uniform is navy blue sweatshirts, sweaters or cardigans with a pale blue Polo shirt or blouse. These are teamed with navy blue or grey skirts, pinafores, trousers or tailored shorts. Please not jeans, jogging bottoms, combat trousers or beach wear. Socks should be plain dark blue, grey, black or white. Tights should be plain dark blue, grey or black. Pale blue and white summer dresses may also be worn. We request that children wear shoes rather than trainers for everyday school wear and that sandals should be a dark colour with no open toed styles. This last is particularly due to health & safety concerns.
For PE children will need a blue PE polo shirt, dark blue football style shorts if possible (not cycling or ¾ length), a change of socks and trainers or plimsolls. A tracksuit may be worn for outdoor activities during the colder months.
All kit should be clearly named and kept in a named drawstring bag.
If children have long hair it should always be tied back. No jewellery should be worn other than a practical watch and simple stud earrings which must be removed for PE. Nail varnish should not be worn.
All school uniform items can be purchased online from Price & Buckland
The following are available from the school office: PE bags, book bags and water bottles.
For those who go swimming a costume, towel and swimming hat will be needed.
When the children are working in the hall they have bare feet so trainers or plimsolls are for outside use.

Tetreault Tops Joss Field
Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour / Albany, NY
Matt Tetreault went unscathed through a tough field at the Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour's April 13-14 stop, defeating Jeremy Sossei twice to take the title. The $1,500-added 9-ball tournament attracted 57 players to Golden Cue Billiards and Sports Pub in Albany, NY.
The first time Tetreault faced Sossei it was in the winners' side final four, where Tetreault dealt him his first loss 9-6. In the other winners' match, Nelso Oliveira bested Jason Michas 9-5 to advance to meet Tetreault. The hot seat match was a close contest, but Tetreault took the win 9-7.
Spencer Auigbelle was making his way through the west side of the chart, eliminating Dave Bounds in seventh place 9-3, while Bruce Carroll tied with Bounds after his match against Tom D'Alfonso ended 9-3. Michas was the next to fall to Auigbelle, who ousted him in fifth 9-5. D'Alfonso tied with Michas when Sossei arrived on the scene and defeated him 9-6.
Sossei went on to rout Auigbelle 9-2 in the quarterfinal match, sending him home in fourth place. With an eye to a finals rematch, Sossei then bested Oliveira in the semifinals 9-3. But the final match between Sossei and Tetreault went much as same as it did the first time, with Tetreault notching a hill-hill victory.
The second chance event attracted 30 players and boasted a prize fund of $1,100. Redgie Cutler earned $320 for remaining undefeated and besting Tim Parisian in the finals 3-2.

President John Kennedy official announces the United States commitment to increase military and economic aid to South Vietnam in a public letter exchange with President Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam.

The military aid would involve intensive training of local defense troops by United States military advisors.
A United States military spokesman announces that the continued communist guerilla assaults on South Vietnamese hamlets, patrols, and outposts in November winded up with 2,800 Saigon government casualties while the Viet Cong suffered a loss of 2,900 fighters.

Gene Chyzowych has received countless awards during his legendary 50-year coaching career at Columbia. But for Chyzowych, the latest honored bestowed upon him might have the biggest meaning to him.
Chyzowych has been selected as the recipient of the Walt Chyzowych Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. The award is named after Gene's young brother Walt, who was a former coach of US Soccer National Team and at Wake Forest University before passing away in 1994.
"I consider myself very lucky and very much honored to be the recipient of many awards. It is very special for me because it is named after my brother," Gene Chyzowych said. "This award, to me, is very, very special because that's my brother and there's nothing that can come close to it."
In 50 years at Columbia, Chyzowych earned 757 victories, good for the second most in New Jersey high school history and third overall in the country before retiring this September. He led Columbia to four state championships and 13 Essex County titles. Chyzowych was also the head coach of the US Soccer National Team in 1973 and 1974.
Both Gene and Walter are among those responsible for starting the All American Soccer Camp and School in the 1960s.
The NSCAA had previously offered him the award, but Chyzowych at the time politely declined the invitation.
"About four or five years ago, they approached me and said I was the next candidate and the next recipient," said Chyzowych. "I said to them thank you very much and I appreciate what you're doing, but I had Walter had my brother and that's a big trophy for me. Also there are coaches that devoted just as much time as I did and maybe even more to the development of soccer and I'd like to see them get the award. They're more deserving than I am. My wife and I and my family decided now was the time."
Chyzowych will be inducted at NSCAA Convention on Saturday, January 18 at 4 p.m. at Field House Sports & Beer Hall in Philadelphia.

This is the first of what I hope to become an ongoing series about non-technical ways to improve yourself as a developer.
Becoming a better developer involves more than learning new technical skills; learning about your company and co-workers will dramatically improve the software you build. One of the most important lessons I learned during the first year of my career is to be so nice to the people around you that they can't help but become your biggest fans.
When I graduated from college I began working for an electrical contractor in Northern California; the company where my dad has worked for 37 years. My first year of management training was spent shadowing the Chairman of the Board followed by a foray into managing construction projects. During that first year I was anxious to be accepted by the office staff and tried my best not be viewed as the kid out of college who was given a job because of my dad. As a result I went out of my way to spend time talking to people around the office, asking about their lives and families, and making conversation with pretty much everyone I met. Word got around quickly that I worked hard and I was a nice guy.
I didn't realize the side effects of this reputation until a year later, when I went into the field and began managing projects.
The first projects were overwhelming for me. I'm the type of person who needs to be in control, and on a construction site everything feels out of control until you get used to how it works (and even then everything's out of control). So I was constantly calling the office, asking for favors and looking for answers to question. To my surprise people were willing to help me. It was like someone had gone around and asked everyone to make sure I was taken care of. And one day I realized it: unintentionally, that someone was me.
When I invested time in my co-workers I was unconsciously making them see me as someone they could talk to; someone who cared about them. This empathy meant that when I called they took the time to understand my dilemma and did everything in their power to ensure I got out of it alive, even if they had to drop what they were doing to help me. This is the power of making fans.
As an aside, I'm not suggesting that you build false relationships in pursuit of fans. That's a lot like writing fake grass-roots letters in hope of creating a buzz; you're going to get caught and it's not going to be pretty.
I am suggesting that you invest in building genuine relationships with your co-workers, especially those in other departments who you would normally not have contact with. If nothing else you will learn to empathize with them so you can one day feel good about dropping everything to help them out.

Ola Afolabi (19-2-4, 9 KOs) thinks he is ready to finally claim the WBO Cruiserweight World Championship. On June 8, the man from Great Britain will renew his feud with defending champion Marco Huck (35-2-1, 25 KOs). After previously losing and fighting Huck to a draw, Afolabi believes that now it is his time to shine at the Max-Schmeling-Halle in Berlin, Germany.
For that reason, the 33-year-old has brought himself into tremendous shape due to changes in his preparations leading up to the fight. In the following interview, Afolabi explains what he has done differently this time round and why he is time has come at last.
Ola Afolabi, it has been over a year that you last stepped into a ring. In May 2012, you fought out a draw against your very next opponent Marco Huck. What do you remember of the fight?
Ola Afolabi: It was extremely tough. Towards the end of it, I lost my focus. That allowed him to get back into the bout. My mental preparation ahead of the fight was not ideal and that took its toll back then.
How is your training going? You have been in Germany for a few weeks now…
Ola Afolabi: It has been really good. I have started my preparations back in November of last year. I went to Big Bear in California to work on my conditioning, which I have also been working on while we were staying in Zinnowitz, Germany. If I compare my current fitness level to previous camps, it is a difference of day and night.
According to yourself, you have been preparing for this fight since November. Is there any danger that you might have been doing too much and that your intense training could have cost too much energy?
Ola Afolabi: No, there is no danger whatsoever. I have mostly been working on my conditioning by running a lot as well as on my mental strength. Sparring only started a few weeks ago. I will be at my best when I step into the ring come June 8.
What do you mean when you say, that you have been doing things you were not doing in your previous preparations?
Ola Afolabi: I have been learning from fight to fight. As I did not have an amateur career, I had to gain experience by fighting against professionals. I am still a raw product. A big difference is that I have changed my diet. I am eating properly and take vitamin supplements. I quit eating Cheeseburgers and other junk food and have turned to healthy food instead. It makes a huge difference. I could make the weight for the fight right now. So by not having to make weight I can concentrate on my training and keep my focus.
You have been quite openly talking about your preparations via the social media, keeping your fans but also your opponents up to date with the progress. Why do you do that and isn't there a danger of giving away too much?
Ola Afolabi: I am very proud of myself and the way the preparation has been going so far. I want my fans to know, that I am not just talking but backing it up. It also keeps me motivated when the supporters give me a positive feedback. Moreover, I am only posting photos of my progress. I do not talk about my sparring and I do not go into detail. All it does is that it should motivate Huck. He knows that I am ready. So he better be ready himself.
On June 8, you will try to rab the WBO World Championship of Huck for a third time. With what kind of attitude are you going into the fight?
Ola Afolabi: My attitude is pretty simple. This was my belt, this is my belt and I am coming to finally take it from him. I honestly do not see how I could lose this fight. I have been working to hard on myself and on the tactics. I should already have won the title last year. Now the time has finally come.
After two previous encounters, you must know Marco Huck quite well now. Where do you see his strengths and weaknesses?
Ola Afolabi: Huck always comes to fight. When he turns up, he is going for it. He is a bit like a robot and just keeps coming. He is actually too tough to know when he has been hurt. I do not want to talk about his weaknesses. You can ask me again after I beat him.
Obviously, you are planning to win. If everything works out for you, would you then be prepared to face him a fourth time?
Ola Afolabi: I do not know. If it is good business why not. But first, I would like to take on the mandatory challenger Firat Arslan. After that, I would go for Huck again.
What will be the outcome of June 8?
Ola Afolabi: I am not going into the fight looking for a knockout. That would increase the risk of over-pacing during the first few rounds. However, I see myself stopping Huck early. Regardless of that, I am going to do whatever it takes to leave the ring as the winner.

« NOT QUITE SUMMER NOT QUITE FALL | Main | is this real life is this just fantasy »
Welcome home! I love that your bookshelves are stuffed with books, like mine. That's what bookshelves are for, right?
Nothing like your own bed is there !!
Welcome home! I like your bookcase. I tried to read the titles, but when I blew the photo up, it was out of focus :)
My bookshelves look like that too! I bet Smokey's happy you're home :)
The first image is wonderful. And the last one makes many smile. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you're enjoying home. Great pictures of you and precious Smokey!
Welcome Home!!!
I bet Smokey is so so happy. Me too! Glad to have you back
Hopefully you'll get a little time to walk that beach before traveling or the cold comes your way.
@LisleMan: Definitely one of the many reasons why living by the water makes sense. Especially when the weather is this perfect!
That photo of the ocean is just spell-binding. I never tire of the water. I also love that book shelf filled with books and the simplicity of your photos.
The seashore photo was what all of us who have been to Florida's beaches have saved in memory--ideal. But all your photographs have such warm appeal, excellent composition, focus and color. Great stuff Agnes.
Am sure returning home after a break must feel good! Enjoy the nice weather before winter sets in, Agnes:)
You cast a glamour

Great to see you are still travelling to far away places and taking terrific pix while looking cool and beautiful.
I have been out of touch with the world after having a nasty fall, which resulted in a hip fracture requiring hospitalisation.
Happily I had just finished and published as an Amazon e-Book my new novel, The Lust Of Comrade Lu, which provides a fictional adventure story against the backdrop of current developments in relations between Hong Kong and China.

You need to be more careful about your vetting. I noticed you left an accused's name in a synopsis. :)

British Olympian Claudia Fragapane, who qualified fourth for Sunday's floor exercise final at the world championships in Montreal, credits her showy performance style to the experience and confidence she gained as a contestant on the popular BBC television show Strictly Come Dancing.
"It was an amazing opportunity to do different dance techniques, and the whole reason I wanted to do (the show) was because I wanted to bring some of that Strictly into my floor routines," said Fragapane, who made it to the semi-finals of the show last fall. "So I've got a little bit of Argentine tango, a little bit of Charleston, a little bit of tango, and I'm trying to do different facial expressions. And in every corner I do something different."
Fragapane, who turns 20 later this month, will be competing in her third consecutive world championships final on floor exercise. In September, the Commonwealth Games champion won the gold medal on floor at the World Cup event in Paris.
Fragapane praised her Strictly partner, professional dancer AJ Pritchard, for inspiring her to infuse her floor routine with more personality.
"(Pritchard) said to be more confident and use those facial expressions," Fragapane said. "I'm a person who's like,'I'm just going to do my best and keep my head down,' so that really did bring me out of my shell and allow me to express who I am, and just be really confident."
The competition continues in Montreal on Thursday with the men's all-around final at 7 p.m. Head to IG's Facebook page for live commentary from the Olympic Stadium!

asked Oct 15 '15 at 22:54 by fgarbsch (36)
I have now spend several days to get Kontakt 1, Kontakt 2 or Kontakt 5 by Native Instruments running within Bitwig on Linux.
I tried both: vst-bridge and airwave. The plugins itself do somewhat work but I get some crackling when instruments are played in realtime that increases until the audio output gets messed up into garbage. When using the Kontakt GUI directly within wine, all the plugins produce perfectly clean audio output.
I also tested the plugins on the same system within Renoise, where they also work perfectly. So I basically stripped it down to an issue of the combination Bitwig+Airwave/vst-bridge+Windows VST. I am having the same issue with other plugins as well.
Has anybody expected similar problems and/or does anyone have a solution for this problem?
By the way: The VSTs work perfectly fine in offline-mode when exporting audio to wave.
The combination of Bitwig+Airwave is a most tested one. My primary goal is a compatibility with Bitwig Studio because I use it by myself. Could you please show your hardware specs, information about your Linux distribution, wine version and audio buffer size in the Bitwig Studio?

Hmm.. now I experience cracks at 96kHz in Kontakt by myself. I'm sorry that I misled you, it seems that I've missed something.

Of course:
System: Gentoo amd64
Linux athene 4.0.5-gentoo #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Aug 2 20:58:47 CEST 2015 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4702MQ CPU @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Audio-Device is a Scarlet 8i18 running at 96000 Hz sampling rate. Jack is right now configured to 256 Frames/Period and 3 Periods/Buffer (8ms Latency; I normally run settings using smaller buffers).
I am running Bitwig 1.2.0 (but the same Problem occurs with previous Versions of Bitwig)
I use a collection of u-he VST plugins, that all work quite well without any crackling or other audio artefacts.
To circumvent propblems with CPU based speed-stepping I use the performance governor to get mostly steady CPU cycles.

As ubuntu is the primary target distribution, I will try if the problem occurs on a ubuntu-studio installation as well. The setup is currently running and I will inform you as soon as I have tested, if the problem also exists on that system. After you mentioned that this is heavily tested, I assume that this issue only depends on my system rather than an issue within bitwig itself.
If the problem does not exist on ubuntu-studio do you have any clue what might cause the issue. I would like to stick to my "home distribution" if possible. I do not get any error messages while experiencing that issue. The only idea that has came to my mind was adding some debug functions to airwave to capture the audio that is provided by the VST and see, if the crackling is produces by the plugin or bitwig.
answered Oct 17 '15 at 10:39 by fgarbsch (36)
First of all: Thank you for testing and taking the time to analyze my issue.
Okay. I experience the same problem at a rate of 48kHz on gentoo but not on 48kHz on ubuntu. I will just do some futher tests tomorrow, when I am back home and have the equipment around. If it helps, I can try to provide a recording of effect and how it envolves to ensure that we are talking over the same problem.
If I would take a guess it feels a bit like drifting audio synchronizations that slightly start and evolve over the time. The problem stops when no midi is sent to Kontakt for some time. I am currently rebuilding my whole @world packages on gentoo to ensure that there are no broken dependencies but as you are experiencing the same isse, I bet that this will not solve the problem.
Is there a way to find out, where the signal gets broken? Like a way to debug collect the output of a VST plugin and the output of the VST container within bitwig, interpolate both signals to the same rate and compare their differences? It might help for debugging to know, if the VST pugin, airwave or the bitwig container is the culprit within the chain.
answered Oct 17 '15 at 17:47 by fgarbsch (36)
Okay. Just as an update:
The issue also exists on Ubuntu-Studio but it takes some more time before the crackling starts. I tried to record the behavior which showed that dropped audio frames are the cause of the broken audio stream. When recording the jack-output directly, there is no crackling but the speed just goes up. The issue exists on every audio-rate and does not depend on the frame-size or the number of frames within the buffer.
The difference on Ubuntu is, that I can see a growth of the DSP load. The problem vanishes if I stop playing MIDI into the VST plugin for some seconds.
As I still cannot reproduce the issue with Renoise I guess it is related to Bitwig somehow. Maybe an issue along the synchronization of threads or queues.

Please note that this article was adapted from the following video.
This article is about the fear and the feeling of powerlessness we have when we project ourselves in situations we were not trained to deal with.
When we look at someone jumping off a cliff with a wing suit or doing something we cannot imagine ourselves doing, we forget all about the training this person went through before being able to deliver such results.
Not knowing what drives this person -his values and priorities for example- and all the circumstances -the conditioning, the wiring in his brain, the genetic predisposition- makes us blame ourselves for not being able to do what this person is doing. We forget that we cannot deliver a result like that, because we don't know, we don't have the skills for it, we don't have the courage for it yet.
It is indeed going to be discouraging if you project yourself in a situation like that and start measuring your current ability to deliver results against the guy who trained all his life for that.
To get a result like being able to jump off a cliff with a wing suit, you will have to:
face the unknown.
expand your comfort zone
do things you did not do before
act despite the fear.
When you want get a result others have gotten but you don't feel you can get yourself:
- Don't panic. Don't feel powerless. Don't be discouraged. Don't compare yourself to anyone.
- Don't believe you are going to need to be instantaneously courageous without any prior preparation! The courage it takes to get certain things done can be, in great part, gradually obtained through training.
- Think about how are you going to train yourself to face your fears and expand your comfort zone?
- Look at the result in only one way: "If I want to, I'll get there!"

How has big data changed e-discovery management?
Join SearchCompliance Thursday, Aug. 21, to discuss how big data has complicated e-discovery management and best practices to avoid legal complications around digital information governance.
Big data creates numerous e-discovery management complications for modern organizations. Huge volumes of structured and unstructured data make it difficult to determine what information should be stored in case it's needed for litigation, and what can be destroyed so it does not come back to bite them. As a result, companies must develop strict data and e-discovery management policies to ensure that relevant information is properly governed and legal and regulatory hassles avoided.
Join SearchCompliance on Twitter Thursday, Aug. 21, at 12 p.m. EDT to discuss e-discovery management in the big data age, as well as digital governance best practices to avoid legal issues. SearchCompliance will lead the event from the site's Twitter handle, @ITCompliance, joined by SearchCompliance editors and experts.

Bob Long Trio: Straight Roads
With a modern approach, and a varied repertoire of not-exactly-standards and originals, keyboardist Bob Long and bandmates Dave Marr (bass), and Tim Davies (drums) keep your interest piqued throughout this introspective album.
The trio works beautifully together as a cohesive unit. Notable is the timbre of Marr's bass juxtaposed against Long's organ, which commands a great presence and assured style, harmony and rhythmic intensity. Marr often goes off and does his own thing, playing only altered tones on Joey Calderazzo's "Midnight Voyage," yet somehow it still works. Davies provides inspiration and color throughout Billy Strayhorn's "Upper Manhattan Medical Group" (most often known as "U.M.M.G") and on Wayne Shorter's "Night Dreamer." The album reminds me of Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi years on Warner Brothers. The psychedelic yet funky and swinging nature of the material just puts me in that '70s Herbie mindset. For a guy to be compared to Herbie Hancock in my book is a statement. Good job Bob!
If you are planning on being in Chicago, do not pass up an opportunity to go see the Bob Long / Brian Gephart Group at the Green Mill on Friday nights. If you don't see yourself in Chicago any time soon, your best substitute is Straight Roads.
Track Listing
Bob Long - Fender Rhodes electric piano, Hammond B3 organ; Dave Marr - acoustic bass; Tim Davies - drums.

Deport Those Chinese Operatives Now!
Have you read the newly released book titled 'Bully of Asia' by Steven W. Mosher? China is the single largest threat to global stability and Russia and Iran are in second and third place.
Have you heard of the Thucydides Trap? China is an ascending power and just who is paying attention? Have you studied the fact that China is a major enabler of North Korea's aggressive behavior including the most recent launch of the intercontinental ballistic missile?
China is a thief. China has dispatched operatives throughout the West under the guise of cultural exchanges, students, temporary workers and journalists. It is all about espionage and cyberwar.
National Reciprocity for Concealed Carry Passes, Next Stop House Floor
H/T Free Republic
National reciprocity for concealed carry passed the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday is expected to receive a floor vote before the end of the year.
The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 was introduced by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) on January 3, 2017. It changes federal law that so concealed carry permits are treated like driver's licenses, making a permit from one state valid in the other 49. This would fix the complicated and often confusing patchwork of concealed carry laws currently in effect throughout the country.
To put it simply, Hudson's bill allows the common man to defend himself and his family as he travels throughout this country.
On November 28 Breitbart News reported that Hudson's legislation was scheduled for a markup in the House Judiciary Committee and the markup would serve as the last stop before a floor vote.

Report: Conyers to announce retirement in January
In the end this may have been the only compromise available to Pelosi. She couldn't force him to resign and his allies in the House may have resented any attempt to make him do so, knowing that it would have appeared as though he was stepping down in disgrace. Which, ah, he would have been.
So Conyers gets to finish out his two years, leaving on "his own terms" replete with plenty of pomp and circumstance in the House about his glorious legacy, and then he's gone. And in the meantime Democrats get to cross their fingers and hope that there isn't a drumbeat of new accusations against Conyers in the media over the next year that dilutes their "the GOP elected a predator in Roy Moore!" message for the midterms.
I say it's Treason…….
Congressman Conyers, an Icon and a Socialist
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi defended Rep. John Conyers as "an icon in our country" on Sunday, after noting he deserves "due process" as he faces allegations of sexual misconduct.
"We are strengthened by due process," the California Democrat said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Just because someone is accused — and was it one accusation? Is it two? I think there has to be — John Conyers is an icon in our country. He has done a great deal to protect women — Violence Against Women Act, which the left — right-wing — is now quoting me as praising him for his work on that, and he did great work on that."
Great Nancy….did you also consider his other affiliations in your 'icon' remark?
Florida University Offering Course On "White Racism," Professor Insists Class Isn't Anti-White…
Because only white people are racist.
Via Campus Reform:
A Florida Gulf Coast University course titled "White Racism" has sparked an ongoing debate surrounding its intent, though the instructor continues to defend it in the face of criticism.
The course initially drew media attention in October, but critics and commentators have continued to spar over its legitimacy, with some describing it as hostile towards white people, and others—especially its instructor, Dr. Ted Thornhill—defending it as necessary.
In any event, the three-credit course is popular among students, having already reached its maximum capacity of 50 for the spring 2018 semester, with two students on the waitlist.
Notably, the minimum rate per credit hour at FGCU is $203, meaning students are paying at least $609 to take the course, and possibly as much as $2,514, according to the Office of the Bursar.
Participants in the course will "interrogate the concept of race," while examining "the racist ideologies, laws, policies, and practices that have operated for hundreds of years to maintain white racial domination over those racialized as non-white."
Additionally, students will "discuss ways to challenge white racism and white supremacy toward promoting an anti-racist society where whiteness is not tied to greater life chances," a course description notes.

Book Release Party
By Julie Duke, Youth Services Manager
The Book Release Party was a drop in program for families. We had both soldiers and civilians, including ladies in beautiful hoop skirts, for the visitors to meet and greet. General Grant was also there, and President Abraham Lincoln (aka Dennis Boggs, who to me is the quintessential Lincoln, charming and personable) gave the Gettysburg Address. My husband, Lawrence, brought some of his collection of original Civil War artifacts, and the Tennessee State Museum loaned us a trunk of hands on CW clothing and equipment. It was delightful to see the kids dress up in the period clothing. On the Foundation's Facebook page, you can see photos of the event, https://www.facebook.com/wmclf. I lost count, but there was about 100 patrons on Sunday.

Indelicate MomentDear Rachel
I arrived at Greenwich Market on Saturday to find Danny shouting at Keith. This is not an unusual occurrence; as I've mentioned before, so well-known is their animosity that the phrase 'Danny and Keith' has evolved into localised rhyming slang for 'teeth', as in 'I must nip to the dentist – me Dannies are playing up'. Danny's threats towards Keith have also evolved in recent months, from offers to go round to Keith's house and give his wife Barbara '…the full half pint' to not only killing him, but burying him, dancing on his grave, digging him up, reanimating him, cloning him, and then killing each clone in turn in front of the others to teach them a lesson.
