Childress: Acquiring Moss A "Rare Opportunity"Posted by on October 6, 2010 – 4:05 pm
Because the Vikings passing attack was ranked 8th in the NFL a year ago with WR Sidney Rice and now ranks just 24th in the NFL without Rice, many are concluding that Rice's absence is a critical component to the slow-to-go passing game.
Consequently, many are also wondering if the acquisition of Randy Moss on Wednesday is an indication that Rice's recovery from a hip injury that has bothered him since last year's NFC Championship Game is going a bit slower than anticipated.
Speaking with an assembled group of reporters for the 1st time since his team acquired Moss, Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress indicated the move to bring Moss back to Minnesota is a product of trying to improve the quality of the roster and not a response to the progress of Rice's recovery.
"I can't say that we've been wringing our hands about where Sidney Rice is at (in his recovery)," Childress explained on Wednesday. "He's about where we thought he'd be; exactly as they advertised, that he was going to be on crutches for six weeks. That was a given. It was a rare opportunity for us to be able to take advantage of a guy who is arguably a Hall of Fame player and still has pretty good tread on the tire."
The Vikings will look to utilize the tread remaining on Moss' tires to stretch the field. Moss remains one of the game's most lethal deep threats and possesses an uncanny combination of size, speed and ability to out-work defenders to the football. Minnesota fans fell in love with Moss' skillset when he broke into the league in 1998 as a Viking and won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.
Aside from his physical abilities, though, Childress told reporters that another attractive attribute of Moss' is his football IQ. Moss is in his 13th season and he's seen every defensive tactic in the book.
"I think the other thing is he's not a rookie," Childress said. "He's been to handling school. He gets coverages. He's an extremely smart guy when you watch what he does. By all accounts he's a pretty good student of the game."
Childress was also asked how he felt about the manner in which Moss would be welcomed back into the Vikings locker room. Moss was traded away from the Vikings following the 2004 season.
"Good players are generally accepted very well in the locker room," the Vikings head coach said. "I just saw Antoine Winfield in there. There are six or seven guys that played here with him and are tickled to death. I know Antoine's got a grin from ear-to-ear."
Judging by what Moss' new teammates have been telling us in the last few hours, Childress is correct in that the Vikings newest offensive weapon will be welcomed to the locker room with open arms.
"We're always looking for an opportunity to make this football team better," Childress said. "Our organization and our ownership is committed to that. You try to be as resourceful as you can and I'm happy that obviously they supported this move."
A few other notes from Childress' press conference…
– Moss signed a 3-year contract extension with New England a few years back and that deal expires following the 2010 season. Childress was asked if an extension of Moss' contract was in the offing, but he declined to delve into the details and said the Vikings would "cross that bridge when we get there."
– Childress, who spoke with Moss early Wednesday while the WR was taking his daughter to school, said Moss was "in a good frame of mind."
– Because the Vikings have already had their bye and the Patriots will have theirs this week, Moss is slated to play in 17 games this season.
– Moss will become just the 2nd player in NFL history to play in a Monday Night Football game in back-to-back weeks. Last week the Patriots played at Miami on MNF and this week the Vikings will travel to New York for a MNF showdown with the Jets.
– Childress downplayed any role QB Brett Favre may have played in the process of acquiring Moss. Favre and Moss have been linked together repeatedly in the past with trade rumors.
– I thought one of the best statements Childress made during his presser was in response to a series of questions that surrounded some incidents Moss has had with coaches, teammates or others in the past. Childress said, "I'm just satisfied to judge him, not backwards, but judge him going forward and what he does with us here at the Vikings now."

Vikings Reaction To Moss Addition Pours InPosted by on October 6, 2010 – 12:52 pm
Reaction to the Vikings acquisition of Randy Moss will likely continue to trickle in, so rather than come up with creative paragraphs to introduce each quote, we're just going to compile a working list of quotes.
We'll begin with a new one from RB Adrian Peterson, and then include the thoughts we've already placed on other parts of the site. As new players chime in, we'll add their quote to the top of this list.
Mark Wilf: "This is an exciting day for the Vikings organization and our fans. Randy has a special place in this organization's history and we're looking forward to his contributions going forward. It's important to add good football players to the roster whenever possible, and with Randy we feel that's exactly what we've done. We welcome him back to the team."
Jared Allen: "Awesome. That's the only way to describe it. He's a heck of a player. That guy is a beast."
Antoine Winfield: "I'm excited. I played one year with him here (2004) and he's a great teammate. He'll be great for our locker room. And he still has the skillset to get the job done."
Adrian Peterson: "It's a great move getting Randy Moss in here. We've just been missing something and I think he can give us another threat down the field. The opportunity to play with a guy like Randy Moss, one of the best wide receivers to ever play the game, that's a chance that doesn't come along every day. I've always been a fan of his and still am to this day. To have a chance to perform on the field with him and the talent that we have gathered here is pretty amazing."
Brett Favre: "This is an exciting move, I think everybody feels that in the locker room. It's rare you get to play with a future Hall of Famer and get to appreciate their talents up close. Randy Moss is a great player and his career speaks for itself. I've admired him from a distance for a long time and you can't help but be impressed by the guy."
Kevin Williams: "I think everybody was a little surprised when they heard the news, but I think it's a good move. It will give us a spark and open some things up. Randy's a guy who has always worked at his craft and I think that has showed over his whole career. He's been successful and been a part of winning a lot of games. He's one of the most competitive guys I've ever played with and I'm happy to have him back with us."
Brad Childress: "We feel very good about the opportunity to add a player of Randy Moss' caliber to this football team. He is a tremendous competitor and was an integral member of the Vikings organization from 1998-2004. Once again, ownership was completely supportive of our efforts to add a valuable football player to our team. I know the entire organization is thrilled to welcome him back to the Twin Cities and look forward to his contributions."

Vikings Captains On Moss' ArrivalPosted by on October 6, 2010 – 12:20 pm
Rumors of a potential trade of Randy Moss to the Vikings and then confirmation of the deal have dominated the sports and NFL landscape over the past 18 hours. In that time you've surely heard a lot of opinions regarding the trade, from national voices to local reporters.
But now that it's a done deal, it'll be interesting to hear what some of the current Vikings have to say about the development. Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress has already explained that Vikings ownership was supportive during the process of acquiring Moss and that the organization is thrilled to have Moss back in the fold.
A couple of Vikings captains have also chimed in on the matter and have echoed Childress' sentiments.
"This is an exciting move, I think everybody feels that in the locker room," QB Brett Favre said. "It's rare you get to play with a future Hall of Famer and get to appreciate their talents up close. Randy Moss is a great player and his career speaks for itself. I've admired him from a distance for a long time and you can't help but be impressed by the guy."
DT Kevin Williams, who played with Moss in Minnesota for 2 seasons (2003-04), welcomed the addition and said the acquisition will give the team a spark
"I think everybody was a little surprised when they heard the news, but I think it's a good move," Williams said. "It will give us a spark and open some things up. Randy's a guy who has always worked at his craft and I think that has showed over his whole career. He's been successful and been a part of winning a lot of games. He's one of the most competitive guys I've ever played with and I'm happy to have him back with us."

Vikings, Moss ReunitePosted by on October 6, 2010 – 9:59 am
For the last several years, fans have wished for it. For the last 15 hours the entire sports world has buzzed about it.
And now it's official.
The Vikings have reached a deal with the New England Patriots to acquire WR Randy Moss, a 6-time Pro Bowler who began his career and took the NFL by storm with the Vikings in 1998.
The acquisition of Moss is a sensational move for the Vikings. But the addition is as much about substance as it is about style. Moss will be a good fit with the Vikings because of his ability to stretch defenses and haul in downfield passes from QB Brett Favre.
Inserting Moss into the lineup immediately provides Favre with a downfield target who has made a career out of burning defenses over the top. The Vikings passing offense has been slow-to-go so far in 2010, but the Vikings will look for Moss to change that quickly.
It didn't take Moss long to make an impact when he first joined the Vikings in '98. A key element in the Vikings record-setting offense that season, Moss hauled in 17 TDs and 1,313 receiving yards along the way to earning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.
Expecting an impact that dramatic in 2010 might be a bit ambitious, but the Vikings don't need Moss to provide such gaudy numbers. The offense features superstar RB Adrian Peterson as well as pass-catchers such as TE Visanthe Shiancoe and WRs Bernard Berrian and Percy Harvin. Each of those players has a niche in head coach Brad Childress' offense, but Moss brings that downfield element which has lacked so far this season.
Much has been made about the Vikings challenging stretch of games in October, where they will hit the road to play at the Jets this week, return home to play the Cowboys and then head back out on the road for back-to-back games against the Packers and, yes, the Patriots.
So the addition of Moss comes not a moment too early and it's just another example of the Vikings commitment to bringing a Super Bowl victory to Minnesota.

Special Delivery At Winter ParkPosted by on October 6, 2010 – 6:24 am
Click here to view a video of the event.
Door-to-door sales of items such as girl scout cookies or boy scout popcorn is a regular thing for many Americans, including NFL head coaches. At least it was for Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress last week.
A scout from the Northern Star Council Boy Scouts of America and chaperone visited Childress in his office at Winter Park last week to deliver a box of popcorn, which the head coach had presumably ordered just as so many other Americans do each year when the girl scouts and boy scouts appear knocking at the door.
One aspect of purchasing popcorn from the Boy Scouts of America that likely hits close to home for Childress is that customers have the option of donating product to military men and women; Childress has a son currently serving in the armed forces. I'm guessing Childress checked the box on the bottom of the order form with no hesitation to donate some popcorn to the men and women bravely serving our country.
If you're interested in purchasing Trail's End popcorn via the Northern Star Council Boy Scouts of America, click here. Or you can call this number: 651-254-9147.
A few other interesting facts…
– The 1st Boy Scout popcorn sale was in 1980. Evansville, Indiana Scouts sold Trail's End Popcorn for the first time.
— The Northern Star Council is comprised of scouts in the Twin Cities Metro area, 21 counties in central MN and 4 counties in Western Wisconsin.
— More than 70% of the purchase price goes to fund local Scouting programs.
— In 2010, on average across the Trail's End line, consumers will get 20% more product than before.

This Crock-Pot Tex-Mex Chicken is so easy and delicious, but the best thing about this chicken is the endless possibilities for using it. I use this Mexican shredded Chicken for tacos, a taco salad, enchiladas, tortilla soup, quesadillas, burritos, a taco ring, nachos, and more. We enjoyed nachos this week using this chicken. I will be adding my nachos recipe soon. Crock-Pot Tex Mex chicken works great on a buffet where everyone can build their own favorite tacos, burritos, or a taco salad. By cooking this chicken slowly in the crock-pot, it will just fall apart, which is perfect for all these Mexican dishes. When making this chicken, you could also double the recipe. After shredding the extra chicken, store it in a zip-lock freezer bag and keep in your freezer to have ready for a quick meal. When the chicken is finished in the crock pot, it is so easy to prepare tacos, nachos, and more QUICKLY. You could have dinner ready in a snap. This chicken is quick to prepare in advance and has saved me many times when I had no time to prepare a meal.
One of my favorite Bible verses talks about being quick to listen. If we are quick to do anything, we need to practice being a quick listener. Over the years it has helped me so much to remember this Bible verse when I am wanting to be quick to give a solution. When we are quick to listen, it shows others that we really do care about them. It also helps us to be able to understand the entire picture of what is really happening. Jesus was all about caring for others and He was very quick to listen. I recall the story in the Bible where everyone was accusing a women of some really bad things. Jesus patiently listened without saying a word. Then, without speaking He began to write in the sand. You can read more at John 8:3-11. Our challenge everyday is to be quick listeners.
James 1:19 "You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry."

This item is "baby pink," not really blush. Does not look like the picture. The light pictured looks like it has a tinted glass insert and the crystals have gold pins. The glass globe is clear and the pins are silver. It looks very cheap. Also be aware, if you do not know how to wire something, there were no directions with this item or wire nuts. There is only a picture with how the crystals need to be installed (It was pretty easy to do myself with a pair of jewelry needle nose).
Over all the light is amazing. I don't mind the pink and can paint it if I want. You do have to put all the little blings on it which I enjoyed but some might not.
This fixture was exactly what I wanted but when I received it I realized it was pink and it didn't work at all with my decor' Unfortunely I had to send it back.

ELIZABETH, Pa. A motorcyclist accidentally killed a 6-year-old girl, then fell to the ground, cried ``Forgive me! Forgive me!'' and shot himself to death.
``He just suddenly turned into judge, jury and executioner, all at once,'' said Edward Scheiber, the man's father. Witnesses told police 25-year-old Jason Scheiber rode his motorcycle rapidly down the road where Tiari Stevenson was riding her bicycle Monday evening in this small, rural community about 20 miles from Pittsburgh.
The motorcycle hit the girl and dragged her about 75 feet.
``They said he was crying and yelled, `Forgive me! forgive me!' as he looked at the body,'' Lt. David Graham said.
Lt. John Brennan of the Allegheny County Police said Scheiber then walked to the side of the road, lay down in the grass, pulled a .50-caliber pistol from his pocket and shot himself in the head.
Scheiber, who worked at a steel plant, had a permit to carry the gun and had no criminal record, Graham said. Police believe he did not know the girl.
Anthony Hines, 26, who lives across the street from Tiari, said he had let the girl out of a gate in a yard where he, Tiari's mother and other neighbors were talking. ``I ran out to the little girl,'' Hines said. ``We tried to talk to her, and tried to keep her alive. But she was already gone.''

When we last asked Toyota representatives about the production capacity of the 2012 Prius C, we were told the company's Iwate, Japan plant could make up to 30,000 units each month. That sounds like a lot, but Toyota is currently sending just 20 percent – 6,000 a month – to the United States.
Back in December, when the car went on sale in Japan, the company received 120,000 orders in the first five days it was on sale. As we noted last week, Toyota also sold 1,200 Prius C units in the first three days it was on sale in the States. The baby Prius may not be as popular here as it is at home, but 6,000 a month sure doesn't seem like it's enough.
The C is made at just one plant, one run by Toyota's Kanto Auto Works Ltd. affiliate in northern Japan. A strong yen and all those Japanese orders means that the C models that do get made are mostly delivered to the home country instead of exported. Toyota originally planned to produce just 20,000 Cs a month, and is now looking to go over even the 30,000 level. By increasing efficiencies at the plant and moving production of non-Prius C models (specifically, the not-available-in-the-U.S. Toyota Ractis) from Iwate to other plants, the unspecified increase should be in place by the middle of this year. Thus far, there is no official talk about making the C at other plants.

I truly believe he is one of the best porn producers who has great expertise with lesbian performers. Take this shoot where Chelsea, Kristen, Susane, Grace and Shelly gather at a locker room to have a pussy fest of sapphos proportions. I always enjoy watching "Grace" who is a staple for this lesbian shoots. But all girls perform really great and look splendid.

Tennessee forward Jarnell Stokes (5) shoots over Auburn center Asauhn Dixon-Tatum (0) at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville in this file photo.Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
KNOXVILLE — The outcome was precisely what Tennessee needed.
The path the Volunteers took to get there, though, was most uninspiring.
Between the turnovers and defensive lapses, Tennessee was far from excellent Wednesady night, but the Vols ultimately had too much for visiting Auburn and got past the pesky Tigers 78-67 at Thompson-Boling Arena.
The Vols turned it over 15 times and allowed a guard-dominated Auburn team to score nearly half its points in the paint, but coming off a second-half collapse and last-second loss to Texas A&M at the weekend with a trip to Kentucky looming on Saturday, Tennessee welcomed the victory.
"We'll probably see it on film, but we're not really thinking about that right now," Tennessee guard Josh Richardson said with a smile. "I'm just glad we won."
The Vols (11-5, 2-1 SEC) never trailed on Wednesday night, and all five starters finished with at least 11 points led by Jordan McRae's 21, but Auburn whittled a double-digit deficit down to four or five on multiple occasions in both halves.
Tennessee led 16-6 seven minutes into the game and 33-23 nearly 10 minutes later, but Auburn only trailed by five at the end of a first half in which Tennessee committed all but five of its turnovers.
"We're averaging, what, 16 right now?" McRae pondered aloud. "We're just being careless. Somebody's passing it, and we're not really meeting the pass and being careless with the ball. It's things that can be corrected.
"Turning it over 10 times in the first half when we're shooting 48 percent, we've got to do a better job. We're taking shots away from ourselves."
A transition layup by freshman Darius Thompson gave the Vols a 50-39 lead with more than 13 minutes on the clock, but the Tigers (8-6, 0-3) answered with a 7-0 spurt and later ripped off a 9-2 run after going down a dozen.
Auburn guards KT Harrell and Chris Denson entered the game as the SEC's top two scorers at more than 19 points per game, and while Tennessee forced Harrell, the Virginia transfer, into a 5-of-15 shooting night, the Vols couldn't keep Denson out of the lane.
He scored 24 points on 10-of-18 shooting as the Tigers piled up 32 interior points with a nonexistant frontcourt.
"I wouldn't necessarily say you're disappointed," Vols coach Cuonzo Martin said. "Sometimes you've got to give credit where it's due. I thought our big guys did a solid job, but not a great job, of corralling the ball. The key for us is corralling the ball and make other guys beat you, but they put their heads down.
"Again, the new rules benefit guys like that, who slash and attack the rim, and Denson's one of those guys that can really slash and attack. If you touch him, it's a foul. You have to do the best job you can in really trying to keep him front of you, so you have to give those guys credit."
Richardson, who scored 13 of his 15 points in the first half, spent most of the night guarding Harrell, and Tennessee used both McRae and Antonio Barton to try to slow down Denson.
"It was tough," Richardson said. "KT Harrell's one of the best scorers in the SEC, so that's always a tough cover. Chris Denson did a good job of getting to the rack and using his quickness against us."
McRae, coming off a nine-point game against Texas A&M, scored seven of Tennessee's first 16 points, but he was quiet for a big stretch of the game. Martin didn't like his top scorer's first-half composure and told him to "calm down and relax."
McRae followed orders, as he poured in seven straight points during one stretch midway through the second half and scored another key basket after Auburn cut its deficit back down to six.
"I'm the kind of player that at the end of the game I definitely want the ball, especially at the free-throw line," McRae said. "That's just who I am. That's what I feel like my team needs me to do at the end of games."
Jeronne Maymon, who scored 11 points, had a key three-point play with less than five minutes left, and after Denson's three-point play cut Tennessee's lead to 68-63 with 2:43 left, the Vols closed out the game at the free-throw line.
Jarnell Stokes had 14 points and 14 rebounds for Tennessee, which was plus-14 on the glass.
The Vols needed to get the taste of the Texas A&M loss out of their mouths and did just that with Wednesday's win.
"The energy and emotion [in practice] wasn't at the level it normally is, and to their defense, I can understand, because I felt the same way," Martin said. "But you've got to muster up the energy to bounce back and get ready to go. This one will get you over the hump and get you back on your grind."

SSA estimates that 80 million individuals, most from the baby boomer generation, will file for benefits over the next 20 years. The population applying for benefits will expect SSA to provide a greater number of services electronically. SSA realizes that it needs to rely more on technology not only to meet customer expectations, but to keep up with a rising workload.
As workloads rise, a greater proportion of SSA's workforce will become eligible to retire; in Fiscal Year 2015, 33 percent of SSA's employees will be eligible. While not every employee retires as soon as he or she is eligible to do so, SSA predicts that 28 to 36 percent of its workforce will retire over the next 10 years. Given the expectation of leaner future budgets, SSA needs to plan to meet its mission with fewer resources.
The following audit reports address SSA efforts to strengthen strategic and tactical planning.

The election is exactly two weeks away and both presidential candidates are crisscrossing the country, hoping to appeal to those remaining undecided voters and encourage supporters to get out the vote.
The campaigns and their supporters are expected to spend about $100 million on TV ads from now until Nov. 6, mainly in the key battleground states.
Wis. is, of course, one of them, and more so than ever before.
"Wis. is kind of a the center," said Dennis Riley with the UW-Stevens Point political science department. Riley says he's never seen so much attention on Wis. while he's been a professor.
Wis. hasn't gone red in a presidential election since Ronald Reagan won back in 1984. But with Janesville-native Paul Ryan on the GOP ticket, the race is tighter than ever in the Badger state.
"If the president holds the lead that the polls give him in Ohio, and he wins Wis., it's virtually impossible for Romney to get to the presidency because of the electoral college," Riley said. "So Wis. is going to be pivotal. If Gov. Romney wins Ohio, then if he wins Wis. and Iowa, he's likely to be the next president of the United States."
Riley says the get-out-the-vote momentum will likely trickle down to other races as well, primarily the U.S. Senate race in Wis. between Tammy Baldwin and Tommy Thompson. There's a good chance whichever party wins the presidential race, will also take the Senate seat.
Moving forward, Riley says the candidates will focus jobs and the economy. He says Romney will highlight poor jobs numbers over the last four years while Obama will show things are steadily getting better.

Watch trainees and a subject knowledge enhancement co-ordinator from the University of Southampton talking about what SKE courses have to offer.
Don't hold back from applying for teacher training in maths, physics, chemistry, computing, design and technology, or a language because of your subject knowledge confidence. You may still be able to train to teach these subjects (and be eligible for the bursaries they attract) by building up or refreshing your existing knowledge with a subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) programme.
The school(s) or university you apply to for teacher training will identify if you need to complete an SKE course as part of the selection process. If they feel you need to enhance your knowledge, they may offer you a teacher training place on the condition that you undertake an SKE course. This could be because your degree wasn't in your chosen subject, but it was closely related, or you have an A level in the subject. Or it may be that you have relevant professional experience, and an SKE course will show you how to apply that to the curriculum and your teaching.
You won't have to pay for an SKE course; you may also be able to access an SKE bursary of up to £7,200 (depending on the course length).
Please speak with your chosen teaching training provider before you submit your application for more information.
"I didn't have a degree in the subject I wanted to teach, so I completed an SKE in physics. The course was free. Not only did it increase my knowledge to teach physics, it really contributed to developing the skills I needed to become an outstanding teacher."
Read trainee maths teacher Mia Webb's account of taking an SKE course
Find out how an SKE course helped get Darren Wilkinson ready to train to teach physics
Read how trainee computing teacher Wahida Hamid benefited from an SKE course
There are only six secondary-phase subjects for which SKE courses are currently available:
SKE programmes are available all over England. Your provider or school will help you find a programme to suit your needs. SKE can be delivered by a wide range of suppliers, including:
A range of available SKE programmes can be viewed in the SKE directory
Great! You've demonstrated qualities that will help you succeed in teaching, such as commitment, innovation and leadership, and your ITT provider or school has recognised that you have the potential to be an outstanding teacher. If you have any support or advice to give to fellow applicants, we'd like to hear from you: email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Our online advice service is currently closed.
Please return between 8am and 8pm to speak to an adviser.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) - Colin Kaepernick completed 15 of 24 passes for 235 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions Monday night as the San Francisco 49ers broke a two-game losing streak with a 27-6 win over the Washington Redskins.
Kaepernick outperformed Robert Griffin III in the first matchup of two of the game's young, agile quarterbacks, both of whom have struggled this season after breakout years in 2012.
Kaepernick threw two touchdowns to Anquan Boldin and one to Vernon Davis. Boldin finished with 94 yards on five catches.
The 49ers improved to 7-4, tied for second with the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC West.
Griffin was 17 for 27 for 127 yards and threw one interception for the Redskins. He was sacked four times.
The Redskins fell to 3-8.

Allegro moderato [5'33]
Andante [5'17]
Minuetto: Allegretto [3'37]
Rondo: Allegretto [6'00]
Hyperion's record of the month for March presents Schubert's much-loved 'Trout' Quintet, one of the most popular chamber music pieces of all time. The young Schubert, inspired by the surroundings of a summer trip in the Austrian Alps, decided to use material from his earlier song 'Die Forelle' ('The Trout', D550) as the basis for the beautiful fourth movement of his Quintet. Composed in five movements, the 'Trout' is unusual in being scored for a double bass in place of the expected second violin; the resulting transparency of texture and infectious melodies instantly bring to mind the calm serenity of summer mountain air and the 'darting' piano accompaniment in the fourth movement vividly conjures up that wriggling trout!
Also on this disc are Schubert's two string trios. D471 (written in 1816) is just a single movement, which may suggest that he was having some difficulty mastering this demanding medium; however by 1817, at the age of just twenty, he was finding his own distinctive voice with his four-movement Trio, D581.
The Leopold String Trio, considered one of the world's most outstanding string trios, here performs these works with remarkable poise and expression. For the 'Trout' they are joined by the pianist Paul Lewis (himself a fine Schubertian) and double bassist Graham Mitchell: these fine young musicians bring to these works the engaging freshness, calm authority and generosity of spirit the music deserves.

Schuberts earliest attempts at mastering the art of composing chamber music for strings date from the years 1810 to 1813, when he was still a schoolboy at Viennas Stadtkonvikt, or city seminary. During this time he completed around ten string quartets (at least two of them have been lost), primarily intended for performance within his family circle. It was in the wake of this flurry of quartet activity that he began composing a string trio in B flat major. The piece hasnt survived, so we have no means of knowing how much of it Schubert actually wrote, but what is clear is that he had a change of heart, and decided to rework the piece as a string quartet in the same key (D112).
Two years later, in 1816, Schubert set to work on another trio, of which he completed no more than the opening Allegro and a fragment of a slow movement. The Allegro D471 is a piece of engaging freshness and charm, and perhaps because Schubert did not seem on this occasion to have felt constrained to write a cello part that could comfortably be managed by his father, the music finds all the players of the ensemble participating on a more equitable basis than is the case in some of his early string quartets.
The four-movement Trio D581 was composed in 1817. Schubert was clearly still experiencing difficulty with this most exacting of mediums, and he undertook a subtle but thorough-going revision of the score. As a result, this is one of his very few large-scale works of which we possess two different versions. The alterations in the second version consist largely of the occasional refashioning of the melodic line, redistribution of the part-writing, or smoothing over of transitions. At the end of the opening movements exposition, for instance, Schubert seems to have been dissatisfied at having allowed two static chords to disrupt the musics flow, and in his second version he papered over the crack by means of a violin arpeggio. He also made a substantial change to the Allegro moderatos closing bars, where he replaced the very rapid demisemiquaver figuration of the original, which the players must have found tricky to negotiate if they had chosen a suitably flowing tempo for the piece as a whole, with notes of twice the value.
Both the slow movements siciliano-like main theme and its mysterious minor-mode episode originally had a single-note upbeat, but Schubert removed this perhaps because the manner in which the themes return was approached during the course of the piece rendered its subsequent inclusion impracticable in any case. As for the minuet, Schubert altered the shape of its opening melody to render it less repetitious; and he interpolated a pause before the final reprise of the theme of the trioessentially an accompanied viola soloin order to allow the music a moments breathing-space.
The gently trotting theme of the rondo finale originally had a rather inelegant second phrase, which had the music turning back squarely onto the tonic. Schuberts revised version substitutes an answering phrase that mirrors the opening bars more closely, while at the same time lending the theme a more graceful lilt. If the work as a whole hardly belongs among Schuberts profoundest utterances it has an undeniable charm all of its own, and in the adventurousness of its sudden switches of key it shows him beginning to find his own distinctive voice.
The circumstances surrounding the origins of the most popular of all Schuberts chamber works, the Trout Quintet D667, were set out many years after the event by the composers childhood friend Albert Stadler. Answering an enquiry from the writer Ferdinand Luib, who in the late 1850s was collecting material for a biography of Schubert, Stadler told him:
Schuberts Quintet for pianoforte, violin, viola, cello and double bass with the variations on his Forelle is probably known to you. He wrote it at the special request of my friend Sylvester Paumgartner, who was completely captivated by the precious little song. It was his wish that the Quintet should maintain the form and instrumentation of Hummels Quintetrecte Septetwhich at that time was quite new. Schubert soon finished the piece and kept the field to himself.
Sylvester Paumgartner was assistant manager of the iron mines at Steyr, in Upper Austria. He was a music-lover, as well as an amateur cellist of limited ability, and his house on the Town Square was the focus of musical activity in Steyr. Schubert is known to have visited the town in the summers of 1819, 1823 and 1825each time in the company of the famous singer Johann Michael Vogl. Since the autograph score has been lost, we cannot be entirely sure as to which of these three occasions saw the composition of the Trout Quintet. However, Stadler mentions that the Hummel Quintet which served Schubert as his model was new, and since that work was issued in 1816 it seems likely that the Trout was written during Schuberts first visit to Steyr. (Stadlers reference to Hummels work as being a Septet is quite accurate: in its original form it was scored for piano, flute, oboe, horn, viola, cello and double bass. The composers own arrangement for an ensemble identical to that of the Trout Quintet was issued simultaneously with the Septet version.)
The Trout Quintet is the first of Schuberts four large-scale works to incorporate a series of variations on one of his songs. (The others are the Wanderer Fantasy for piano, the Death and the Maiden string quartet; and the C major Fantasy for violin and piano D934, with its variations on the setting of Rückerts Sei mir gegrüsst!.) Of the four, the Quintet is the most relaxed and easy-going. It is, indeed, house-music of the highest quality, and the layout of its piano part, as often as not with the two hands in parallel octaves, ensures maximum clarity and lightness, while at the same time reflecting the sonority of the primo part in another form of domestic music-making Schubert made so much his ownthe piano duet.
A peculiarity of the Trout Quintet is that no fewer than three of its movements have a second half that reproduces the first half exactly, but in a different key. The scheme is one that enabled Schubert to write a work of large proportions in a less labour-intensive manner than might otherwise have been possible, but the process is carried out with such ingenuousness, and the musical material itself is so engaging, that it would be churlish to complain.
The first movements tempo marking of Allegro vivace is unusually quick for Schubert, yet within that tempo the music manages at first to convey a feeling of spaciousness and breadth. The mysterious opening bars actually sound like a slow introductionparticularly since the appearance of the movements main theme is delayed until the eventual return of the pianos initial sweeping fortissimo arpeggio. The introductory impression is strengthened by the fact that the recapitulation omits the subdued opening bars altogether, and begins instead with the theme itself.
The slow second movement presents three main themes, each given out in a different key. The F major first theme is followed, in a typically Schubertian juxtaposition of tonalities, by a melancholy idea in the distant realm of F sharp minor. It features the mellow sound of viola and cello moving together in parallel thirds, in a manner that seems to look forward a full decade to the great C major String Quintet D956. The third theme, in a sharply dotted rhythm, is less stable, beginning in D major before eventually coming to rest in G major. At this point the music simply slides up a semitone and the whole process begins again. Since, however, an exact repetition of the movements first half would have caused the piece to come to an end in the wrong key, Schubert inserts a single additional bar into the closing theme which is sufficient to divert the music back towards the home key. So surreptitiously is the switch of key carried out that the listener is none the wiser.
The scherzo is a piece of Beethovenian energy, though its second half introduces a moment of stillness that recalls the broad opening bars of the first movement. The trio is a subdued piece, too, and one in which the sound of distant horns lurks never very far beneath the musics surface.
The famous theme of the variation fourth movement is scored for the pianissimo strings alone, so that we seem to be hearing it from afar; and by a wonderful stroke of inspiration the darting piano accompaniment which in the song so vividly conjures up the wriggling of the elusive trout is reserved for the final variation, where the tempo quickens from Andantino to Allegretto. Meanwhile, the gentle first two variations are followed by a brilliant variation in running demisemiquavers for the piano. A forceful interlude in the minor gives way to a warmly lyrical variation in which the cello steps into the limelight. Beginning in B flat major the music moves, in a long modulatory passage, into ever flatter regions, eventually preparing the ground for the final variation, back in the home key of D major.
The finale begins momentarily away from the tonic, with a dramatic long-held notea gesture that anticipates the similar opening of the finale of Schuberts Grand Duo Sonata for piano duet, as well as that of his last piano sonata, D960. Although the principal theme is rondo-like, with an internal repeat of its second half, the piece is actually a sonata form with the second stage of its exposition unusually not in the dominant key (E major), but a whole tone lower, in D major. There is no development section at all, and the close of the exposition is simply followed by a re-run of the entire piece set a fifth higher, so that the music comes full-circle back to the home key. Of the three mirror-schemes in the work, it is surely the least satisfying, but even here the musics wide-ranging harmonic pattern is sufficient to avoid any feeling of repetitiveness.
The Trout Quintet was one of Schuberts works that were acquired shortly after his death by the publisher Joseph Czerný. In a self-serving advertisement in the Wiener allgemeine Theaterzeitung on 21 May 1829, Czerný made a special plea on behalf of the Quintet:
Among the numerous manuscripts left behind by the beloved composer Franz Schubert, of which the majority have been purchased along with the rights of publication by the industrious and circumspect music publisher Joseph Czerný, was a grand Quintet for pianoforte, violin, viola, violoncello and double bass. Since this Quintet has already been performed in several circles at the publishers instigation, and declared by those musical connoisseurs present to be a masterpiece, we deem it our duty to draw the musical publics attention to this latest work by the unforgettable composer, and announce at the same time that it has appeared in print not only in the aforementioned instrumentation, but also for piano duet in a very effective arrangement by the publisher himself, at whose artistic establishment it may be obtained.
The edition issued by Czerný differs in one important detail from the set of parts copied out by Albert Stadler for the first performance of the work. On that occasion, the double bass, or violone, clearly lacked the lowest notes called for in Schuberts score, and Stadler duly adapted the part so that it did not fall below a bottom E. There is no doubt, however, that the instrument Schubert had in mind had a compass reaching all the way down to C. The additional notes are particularly effective in the Quintets second movement, where they enable the stringed instrument to echo the pianos dotted-rhythm octave leaps in the closing subject.

|Determinants of Age-specific Breathing Instability During Sleep
|Brief Summary
The purpose for our research protocol is to examine the role of breathing control mechanisms that determine the development of sleep-disordered breathing in the elderly. This proposal will focus on key factors that contribute to the control of ventilation in healthy individuals and in subjects with sleep-disordered breathing. We will study the age-specific changes in both normal persons and sleep individuals with sleep apnea.
|Detailed Description
Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAS) is a relatively common disorder in the US population with significant adverse health consequences. Despite the high prevalence of SAS in elderly individuals, the underlying mechanisms have remained elusive. Specifically, we do not know whether the high prevalence of sleep apnea in older adults is due to increased central breathing instability. This proposal focuses on investigating age-specific differences in the susceptibility to central breathing instability in healthy individuals as well as individuals with sleep apnea.
This project will investigate the following specific objectives:
Sleep apnea is very common in older veterans and is associated with significant cardiovascular complications. Greater insight into the pathogenesis will have a positive impact on the health of veterans suffering from this condition. This proposal will further our understanding of the pathogenesis of breathing instability leading to sleep-disordered breathing during sleep. Thus, we anticipate our findings will provide a basis for new approaches to prevention and management of SAS in veterans.

Gould backtracks from critical commentsPosted by on November 14, 2012 – 4:22 pm
After criticizing the Soldier Field grounds crew for not covering the playing surface before Sunday night's game against the Houston Texans, Bears kicker Robbie Gould offered an apology.
The field reportedly was covered from Friday through Sunday morning. It didn't begin raining until about two hours before the 7:20 p.m. game, and NFL rules require that tarps be off the field 90 minutes before kickoff, a process that takes about 30 minutes.
"I need to apologize to the grounds crew at Soldier Field and our grounds crew for my recent comments regarding the field," Gould said. "I have since learned a lot more about the NFL's policies and the measures that are taken at Soldier Field to ensure a reliable and safe playing surface. It was my mistake to speak prior to having a full understanding."
Co-hosting a radio show Tuesday night on ESPN 1000, Gould complained about the field being soft and uneven.
"I don't know what's happening," Gould said. "This year our field has been really bad. It's been tore up. There have actually been some places on the field where some portions of it have actually sunk to a new low level, and the other spots are high."
Bears coach Lovie Smith was asked about Gould's critical comments.
"You have to talk to Robbie about that," Smith said. "To me, our surface, I mean, it's November in Chicago. There's a certain type of surface you're going to get at Soldier Field. If it is soft and things like that, to me it's to our advantage. That's the only way we can look at it.
"Field-wise, there are different surfaces you're going to play on. As long as both teams are playing on the surface, that's never going to be an issue you're going to hear me talk about."
Bears general manager Phil Emery also weighed in on the issue later Wednesday.
"I very much appreciate our relationship with SMG and the Chicago Park District," Emery said in a statement. "We have assembled a strong team of members from our staff and theirs that work together to evaluate the field and keep it in excellent condition. They have done a great job working with us to ensure we have the best playing surface for our players."

It seems these days that almost every game studio has been working on networked games where players can interact and co-operate with their friends and other players around the world. Considering my previous experience building such servers and that Couchbase fits the bill as a backing store for a system like this, I thought perhaps this may be an excellent topic to write about! I will be writing this in multiple parts with each part implementing one specific aspect of the game server, additionally, I will be doing the same tutorial using our PHP client library to show that off as well.

The 1.1.0 SDK utilizes a newer version of libcouchbase (2.1.x) with additional features, bugfixes, and performance improvements. Note that it is also possible to use the older 1.0.0 SDK with the newer libcouchbase.

If you have to deal with a large number of documents when doing queries against a Couchbase cluster it is important to use pagination to get rows by page. You can find some information in the documentation in the chapter "Pagination", but I want to go in more details and sample code in this article.
For this example I will start by creating a simple view based on the beer-sample dataset, the view is used to find brewery by country:

Full text is not hosted in this archive but may be available via the Official URL, or by requesting a copy from the corresponding author.
Three series of nanofiber structures were grown via electron-beam-induced deposition as a function of beam energy (1, 5 and 20 keV) using a W(CO)6 precursor. At each beam energy a time series ranging from 0.5 to 128 s was performed and the sample current during each growth was monitored versus growth time. The subsequent current traces have been correlated to the nanostructure morphology. For the 1 and 5 keV beam energy, two distinct lateral growth regimes were observed. Initially there is a rapid base broadening consistent with the electron beam interaction region. Secondly, a lateral 'platelet' type growth was observed. At 20 keV beam energy, there is an initial rapid broadening: however, no 'platelet' growth is observed. For each beam energy, the measured current trace is correlated to the observed growth regimes.

What do steroids look like?
It is very difficult to express that what steroids look like as there is no specific shape or form of steroids. We cannot say that the steroids are circular shaped pills. Neither can we say that they are rectangular, square, hexagonal or cylindrical. To be realistic, they are found in almost all the shapes. Some steroids are small, some are large sized. Some are oral while others are injectable. There are some steroids that are only rubbed on the skin to have relief in pain. Furthermore, the oral steroids are of many colors such as blue, red or white. So it is a little bit hard to let you know what these steroids look like.
Generally these steroids are available in tablets, liquid, injections, gels and cream form. The appearance does not matter as all give you the same results with slightly different potencies. The form of steroids depends upon the type of steroid and the manufacturer of that particular brand.
Anabolic steroids are found in different forms, shapes, sizes and colors like all the other steroids are. Some are found in tablet forms. They are used by mouth and called oral steroids. Some other anabolic steroids are sealed in glass containers. They are called ampoules. The steroids inside these ampoules are taken out by cutting the neck of the bottle. After that they are withdrawn with the help of a needle. Some other anabolic steroids are in a form of a vial.
Vial is just like the ampoules. The difference between an ampoule and a vial is this that the top of the vial is made up of rubber while the top of an ampoule is made by glass. We have to cut the top of the ampoule to take out the medicine but we can take medicine from vial without cutting its top. What we have to do is just to inject the needle in the rubber part and take out the required medicine. Some other anabolic steroids are found in bottles. Bottles are somewhat like vials with removable top.
It is very difficult to recognize steroids by just watching them. You are unable to identify them by their colors, shapes, sizes and forms. Same steroids are found in different forms as made by different companies. When you go to the market and ask for a steroid by telling the chemist the shape of the drug, he would not help you in finding out that particular drug you are looking for. It is necessary that you have to know the exact name and form of that particular drug you are referring to, so that you can get exactly what you want. It is better that you should not buy a steroid only because your friend or some of your relative has used it and found it helpful in any way. His conditions may be different from yours. It is advisable that you consult a doctor before going to buy a steroid. He is the right person to guide you. One thing that you should always keep in mind is that steroids are not candies, they are medicines and like all other medicines, they have many side effects. So use them carefully.

Devil In A Woodpile
BiographyMoonshine soaked, old-time country roots music. Much like The Basement Tapes, Devil In A Woodpile's strength in sound comes from their ability to approximate a historical American sound and infuse their own relevant quirks and characteristics. They incorporate washboard, mouth harp, jug, ukulele, tuba, National steel and arch top guitars, stand-up bass, and other rustic tools of the trade to create a textured far-away sounding record that closely resembles the low fidelity of a 78 rpm platter. This band is made up of members from Bottle Rockets and Waco Brothers. Their blend of hillbilly, bluegrass, ragtime, blues and country mix together in a musical still of fermenting tones that compliment the singer's sour mash affected vocals.
