LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Jan. 10) - The NM State women's basketball team faltered early on, resulting in its second loss in Western Athletic Conference play to conference leader Seattle, 60-54, on Thursday evening in the Pan American Center. The Aggies now sit at 9-6 overall with a 3-2 conference record.
Despite the loss, the Aggies had two in double figures on Thursday night with sophomore Danesia Williamson leading the team with 22 points and senior Stefanie Gilbreath with 17. Williamson was just one point shy of matching her career high of 23, while Gilbreath marks her fourth straight game with 15 or more points.
Junior Jasmine Rutledge earned a career-high 10 rebounds on the night and senior Kelsie Rozendaal tallied eight. Fellow senior Malia Magazzeeni picked up a season high with six. Picking up 39 rebounds as a team, the Aggies were outnumbered by Seattle's 44 boards on the night. The Aggies finished the game shooting 33 percent from the field, but shot even with the Redhawks from three-point range at 22.2 percent.
"We'll be just fine," head coach Mark Trakh said. "We did not play well tonight, but we still did some things right. It was not our best game and we only lost by six. I think we are still on the right track and if we can pick up the win over Idaho on Saturday, we'll be doing well."
NM State was sluggish to start, giving Seattle a 14-4 advantage in the first eight minutes of the game. It was Williamson that went on a 5-0 run to bring the Aggies within seven points at 18-11 in the middle of the period.
A big three point shot by Elena Holguin brought the Aggies to 16 points before Gilbreath collected a free point from the line, putting NM State within 10 of the Redhawks. The Aggies picked up some last minute fire with two buckets from inside the paint by Williamson followed by a basket from behind the three-point line by Gilbreath in the final two minutes of the half, cutting the Aggie deficit to 34-27 at intermission.
Williamson led at the half with 11 points, but the team shot just 29 percent from the floor and went 2-10 from behind the three-point mark.
Going on an 8-2 run over the Aggies to start the second half, Seattle increased its lead to 42-29 before Gilbreath was able to get inside for a pair of layups. Continuing with their momentum from the end of the first half, the Aggies narrowed the gap to just five points off a layup by freshman Sasha Weber and Rozendaal.
Two three pointers by the Redhawks extended their lead once again, but the Aggies answered back with an 11-2 advantage to put them within four points with less than a minute to play. Forced to send Seattle to the line, NM State allowed the margin to increase to six. Williamson came up with a layup with 12 seconds to go, but the final pair of free shots by the Redhawks capped the game at 60-44.
NM State continues at home against Idaho on Saturday, Jan. 12, at 6:30 p.m. The game is set to air on AggieVision and ESPN3.com.

Dozens of Friends of the Library gathered at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 24 in the library auditorium, for their last meeting this year as they shared covered dishes, bid farewell to the "snowbirds" (members who would be leaving the area for the winter), and celebrated the success of the literary festival and library programs.
Jane Lonon said the fifth annual On the Same Page literary festival's "numbers increased substantially, with people coming from eight states and 43 zip codes within North Carolina." Lonon also announced next year's festival will take place Sept. 17-21 and the theme is "secrets."
County Librarian Suzanne Moore's presentation illustrated the library's new signage and building directories which make the library more accessible to patrons, described the experiences of five staff members who were able to attend a rural libraries conference, and indicated ways which many town officials expressed support for the library and local children by reading to groups.
Youth services librarian Peggy Bailey outlined some of the successes of the youth programs throughout the year including 18 young adult programs with 242 participants and 22 juvenile programs with 1112 participants. These programs were sponsored by Friends of the Library and benefited from a generous contribution from Skyline/Skybest.
This year, the library hosted programs for all ages, a few of which included steampunk jewelry crafts which allowed teens to use their imaginations and odds and ends to create wearable works of art, a nocturnal-themed nature program in which children learned about nocturnal animals from park rangers, a zombie prom where the living dead owned the night with help from a Wilkesboro make-up artist, and many other educational attractions such as a portable planetarium and a speaker from the Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh.
"We sincerely appreciate all the organizations which partnered with the library to provide programming for the youth," said Bailey.
The next Friends of the Library meeting will be Wednesday, Feb. 27 featuring speaker Michelle Martin who walked the entire Appalachian Trail after the death of her husband.
Other upcoming events for the library include live music Saturday, a night-themed program for four and five-year-olds on Tuesday, extended hours and a costume parade on Halloween, and more. For more information about library programs, call 336-846-2041 or visit www.ashelibrary.com.

Nineteen years later, Royce Gracie reflects on UFC 1
Nineteen years later, Royce Gracie reflects on UFC 1 - MMA Fighting"I have such a big family, sometimes, I was wondering, when is it going to be my turn?" Gracie said. "There's always a brother who's older, younger, bigger, stronger, faster, I was like, hey, give me a chance guys.'"
Ultimately, Rorion Gracie chose Royce over Rickson, and the martial arts world would never be the same. Gracie won the inaugural UFC tournament at Denver's McNichols Arena, and though he had no idea at the time, he forever altered the combat sports landscape.
"Rickson was a little too big," Gracie said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour, which commemorated the UFC's 19th anniversary. "So it wouldn't be as impressive, a 200 pounder beating up a 220. Me being 178 and beating up a 220 was a little more impressive."
Gracie was one of eight participants in the tourney, along with kickboxer Gerard Gordeau, sumo Telia Tuli, striker Kevin Rosier, Kenpo karate practitioner Zane Frazier, boxer Art Jimmerson, wrestler Ken Shamrock, and kickboxer Patrick Smith. With no time limits, no rounds, and few rules, no one knew what to expect going into the event.
"On the first one, we had a sumo wrestler, there was a random draw, and it was the night before the fight, so we didn't know who we were going to fight," said Gracie. "So you had to be prepared for everybody. For a grappler, for a sumo wrestler, for a kickboxer, you've got be ready for everybody."
Gracie had ample time to prepare for the event at the family dojo in Los Angeles' South Bay area. While the camp was primitive compared to today's leading mixed martial arts schools, the mindset was no different: You have to be ready for everyone and everything.
"I had enough students that I could choose, from kickboxing, boxing, not not exactly sumo wrestling, but a heavy student that would help me out so I could get used to body weight. The main thing is strategy," Gracie said. "It's not just come in and duke it out and fight. OK, if he's a grappler, good for me, I know what to do. If he's a kickboxer, I gotta get in a clinch and move a certain way. If he's a karate man, he moves a different way, but I'm still going to have to clinch. So, a sumo wrestler, I have to clinch. It's just, how I get there, how I move it."
Fans got a taste of what was to come in the evening's opening fight, when Gordeau knocked out several of Tuli's teeth just seconds into Gordeau's victory. Things got even more bizarre when Gracie entered the Octagon for his first-round bout with Jimmerson, who at the time was a ranked cruiserweight with a 29-6 record. Jimmerson, having watched the tourney's early fights and seeing that wearing a pair of gloves would be a disadvantage in an anything-goes environment, provided one of the sport's first iconic images when he showed up wearing one glove.
"I mean, he was thinking about doing jabs so many times, he didn't want to break his hand. He wanted to keep me away," Gracie said. "I thought hey, he has a boxing glove, good, he's not going to be able to grab me. ... He didn't even touch me. I got in the clinch, took him down, I mount him, and he just waved to stop to quit. I was actually surprised. But then, again, it I thought, hey, he's a boxer, when he goes to the ground, what is he going to do? He was out of his game, why take a beating?"
After making short work of Jimmerson, it was clear that while Gracie didn't look like a traditional badass, he could hold his own. Gracie finished the job at UFC 1 with quick rear-naked choke victories over Ken Shamrock -- the launching pad for the first great rivalry in MMA history -- and Gordeau. Total time for his three fights was four minutes, 59 seconds.
Gracie held on to the chokes well after his last two opponents tapped. While that would be considered unsportsmanlike in today's UFC, Gracie explained why he felt the need to dispense some frontier justice.
"My second fight at UFC 1, I fought Ken Shamrock," the UFC Hall of Famer said. "In the fight I choked him. As soon as he tapped, I let go. He tried to continue, but the ref got kind of stuck like, should I let it go or stop the fight.' That's when I looked at the ref and I said, let it go, we're going to continue. ... then I looked at Ken Shamrock, I said, I know you tapped, you know you tapped, but you want to continue, let's go. Keep going. But now I was going to hold the choke, I was going to put him out. After that he decided, he said, You're right, I quit, so he stopped it.'"
While Shamrock was merely trying to pull a fast one, according to Gracie, Gordeau got straight-up dirty.
"When I come back for the finals with Gerard Gordeau, he bit my ear when I took him down," Gracie said. "He wasn't allowed to bite. When we were on the ground, I whispered in his ear, I said, You bit me.'" I looked at him, he just gave me a look like So what?' That's when I got the choke. Think of what happened with Ken Shamrock, and with [Gordeau] cheating, there's one rule, two rules: no gouge, no biting. And he cheated on that, so that's why I kept the choke a little longer. I sent a message: Don't F with me."
Gracie's role in history was already set by the time he stood center Octagon with his oversized, $50,000 winner's check for winning at UFC 1. Before he was through, he also claimed tournament titles at UFC 2 and 4. In the process, by using jiu-jitsu to take out bigger foes, he not only established the popularity of Brazilian jiu-jitsu in the United States, he re-defined long-held conventional wisdom on fighting.
Now 45, Gracie couldn't have known he was changing the course of combat sports history that night in Denver. But the now-retired legend is appreciate both for his legacy and for the growth of the sport his family helped launch.
"I knew [the UFC] was going to get big," Gracie said. "But what Dana White and the Fertitta brothers did, they turned it into inspiration for the new generation. Now, the news the kids, they grow up like baseball, like soccer. They grow up thinking one day I want to be baseball player, they want to be soccer player. Today, they train thinking they want to be UFC fighter. They start young now."
Art Davie shares memories of birth of UFC: 'Nineteen years ago, we changed the world'
Art Davie shares memories of birth of UFC: 'Nineteen years ago, we changed the world' - MMA FightingDavie was one of the founders of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, which had its first event in Denver on this date in 1993. It was a project that had been in the works for over a year. At the time, Davie had a rough concept of a new fighting format, but things did not truly coalesce in his mind until reading a Playboy article about Rorion Gracie and Brazil's most famous fighting family.
Davie soon traveled to Torrance, California, where Rorion was in the process of opening his first school, and after signing up for classes, he would frequently tell Rorion that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu needed a bigger audience. Rorion had heard these kinds of pitches before, so instead of trying to convince him with worlds, Davie helped him market Gracie instructional tapes by writing a direct mail campaign.
According to Davie, the campaign quickly drew over $125,000 in orders, and suddenly, Rorion was more interested in what he had to say.
After writing a business plan for their new venture, Davie started pitching it to television executives, including some at HBO and Showtime. Over and over, he was turned down.
"They said what else you got kid?" he said. "You got anything else besides the martial arts, because we got a memo here that says that never works. That stuff doesn't work. Kickboxing is dead and what you're proposing sounds crazy to us."
Davie said he was pitching the project for over six months before he found Semaphore Entertainment Group (SEG) in New York. It was an alliance that would change everything, but not without some blustering and bluffing.
According to Davie, he told SEG at one point that they were set to produce the first-event on Oct. 31 in Rio with or without them. Faced with the choice, SEG was in.
While that date and location were later changed to better accommodate logistical issues, the two sides were in business and soon set about recruiting fighters. At one time, boxer Leon Spinks was a candidate to enter the field, but that deal did not get done, leaving the tournament with the memorable entrant Art Jimmerson. Another possibility that didn't make the final cut was kickboxing great Ernesto Hoost.
Meanwhile, because of business issues between brothers Rorion and Rickson, who was then considered the best fighter in the family, Rorion decided upon younger brother Royce to represent the family's art.
It was a move that Davie didn't understand at first, until Rorion explained that the visual of the thinly built Royce mowing through the tournament field would be the best illustration of jiu-jitsu's effectiveness.
By the time the tournament field arrived at the Executive Tower Inn, the tension was thick, with posturing between rival groups. It boiled over at the event's rules meeting (yes, there were rules at the first event despite many claims to the contrary), until sumo fighter Teila Tuli settled things.
"He said, 'Look, as far as whether there's going to be tape on any knuckles or not? I don't care. I'm going to be standing in the octagon tomorrow night. Anybody else who wants to be there? Show up, because I'm coming.'" Davie recounted. "And everybody quieted down. That was the end of that."
Davie said that by fight night, the fighters were "ready to jump out of their skin," with excitement, anxiousness and anticipation of what was about to happen. As we know, Royce Gracie went on to win three fights by tappet, including a finish of Gerard Gordeau in the finals to claim the tournament's $50,000 purse.
"I remember Rorion and I and [executive producer] Campbell [McLaren] walking around," he said. "I was walking around smoking a cigar and drinking a single-malt scotch and we looked at each other and said, 'This is huge. This is unbelievable. Were taking over the world. This is going to rock people right to their socks.' We knew it."
In time though, the UFC would face many obstacles, based upon the promotion of the sport's violence as a selling point. Eventually, he parted ways with the company, but he's watched the sport and the promotion grow from afar, feeling, he says, sometimes as a "divorced father with someone else raising my kid." But that's OK, he says. It's still a pleasure to watch something that he helped conceive enter the sport and pop culture landscape.
"I had to bang heads with a lot of people who said to me, 'What else you got kid? You got anything else, because this is nuts?'" he said. "And I said, no, this is going to be big. You wait and see."

Trainer Greg Jackson believes having survived a dogfight will only make Jones better. In an interview with the Sherdog Radio Networks Beatdown show, Jackson discussed Jones evolution, Gustafssons ability and more.
On being removed from Jones corner during the fight: [The commission] had everybody except my name down. Some miscommunication, I guess, on the corner sheet thing, and so yeah, I got booted out of the corner. It was fine. The other coaches are better than I am anyway. It worked out.
On the fight: It was nerve wracking. It was a very good fight, very close. Youve got to give a ton of credit to Gustafsson for really pushing the pace and getting Jon out of his comfort zone, and youve got to give credit to Jon for overcoming that and ultimately remaining the champion. It was a lot of fun to watch. However, because I was kind of out of the corner, it was very frustrating because I couldnt get in there and say the things I wanted to say. It was a mixed bag of emotions.
On Gustafssons performance: He certainly exceeded the expectations, I think, from everybody. I thought Jon won the fight. I thought the judges were correct and most people were correct. Its just that Jon usually wins so easily that any kind of close, competitive fight, people are going to want to give it to the other guy. I think there was a lot of emotion there as far as scoring the fight, but [Gustafsson] really stepped up. He really fought a great game plan and he showed that he belongs right up there to be one of the best in the world. I was very impressed by him.
On whether Gustafsson shocked him: I was surprised by how good his takedown defense was and how good he was at controlling the distance, but not really. I think everybody else was kind of shocked, but Ive been through it so many times that it wasnt shocking for me. In the last 20 years, I dont know how many corners Ive been in, but its a lot. I was very concerned, but I certainly wasnt shocked or anything.
On what he learned about Jones: I learned that even when things arent going his way, he just gets kind of tenacious and bulldogging and overcomes the problems that were in front of him . For me, it was his best performance because you got to see that hes got a great jaw on him. You got to see that hes just tough. Hes just super tough. He just keeps getting in there and keeps pushing and keeps fighting. I was really impressed with Jon. As much as I was impressed with Alex, I was even more impressed with Jon because he just kept coming and just kept coming and was ultimately able to win it. For me, thats what youre looking for. Youve got to be skilled and technical, but you also have to be just mean about it, just get in a dogfight and win it, and he did that.
On Jones and dogfights: He was tested and he passed, and that was very important. However, hopefully we wont have to be tested like that again in a while.
On whether the win will build even more confidence for Jones: I think so. I think hes going to come out as a much better fighter. Hes turning into a veteran now. He understands how to be in a five-round war, how to push the pace. He knows he can. So yeah, theres a lot that happens in those fights like this that you come out stronger and you come out better for. I think both of these guys are going to have a little bit stronger psyche after this fight.

Must watch: what Apple Store employees do before the new iPad goes on sale!
After chatting with the first person in line for the new iPad in Miami, Florida, we had to stick around for the grand opening. We actually found the store reps around the corner just before things kicked off. As you can see from the video, the Apple employees at Miami's Lincoln Road store started getting psyched up right around the corner, and when it was time to open, they came barrelling down the sidewalk, hooting and hollering. They cheered for a bit at the front door, took some pictures, then jogged back around the block to their posts.
It's obvious Apple employees are just as excited as we are to get the new iPad out the door, and it's great to see that they're willing to put on a show for the fans who have stuck around all night waiting for it. If you've never camped out front of an Apple store for an iOS product, check out this video to see what you're missing.

Must watch: what Apple Store employees do before the new iPad goes on sale!
That's what I was thinking! Happy to see he bought an iPad though...he knows a real tablet. :)
Yup, Kevin and some of the team are down in Miami and were representing for iMore this morning. :)
Well, to be fair OSS zealots are the cult to end all cults (except Scientology - scary thought -- what if Richard Stallman were a Scientologist, too?!). You can tell by the way they head out to blogs on release days for non-OSS products with their noses up in the air calling other things cults.
That's almost by my house. My friend works at that apple store. He probably came out in the video or the photo. I don't know because stupid AT&T's throttling my Internet so the video's taking forever.
They did the same thing at the Washington Square store in Beaverton, Oregon. There were about 200 people in line, which started last night about 5:00pm. I was the first one inline for the in-store pick-up and only had to wait 15 minutes for the store to open. I got the second one sold. Must say the most impressive thing so far is the display.....
The term "fanboy" is outdated and insulting.
lol, Kevin's just ticked because when he filmed his PlayBook pickup when that was released no one at Staples cared enough to run around like crazy children. HAHA! In fact, there wasn't even a line when the PlayBook released. Blow! lol
BTW, love the result of him saying "But we got one at Walmart last night." lol The Apple guys are like... just turn around... bet that one employee wanted to shoot him the bird instead of the thumbs up he did instead. lol

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) responds to the UK Autumn Statement 2013.
The UK Economy
Manos Schizas, ACCA Senior Economic Analyst, said: 'Unlike previous Budgets and Autumn Statements or PBR's this Statement is aimed squarely at high street businesses with plans for slow, steady or no growth. There is an irony in how talk of 'rebalancing' the UK economy has disappeared now. Growth is now once again meant to be fuelled by consumption, retail spending, and housing rather than by investment.'
Sarah Hathaway, head of ACCA UK, said: 'Businesses, now more than ever, are looking for long-term, sustainable measures that extend beyond the term of Parliament or government. Quick fix, sugar coated initiatives are not what the City and the wider UK business community are looking for and create uncertainty at a time when UK plc is looking to build on firmer ground. While many announcements in the Autumn Statement are favourable to businesses, their life span and breadth of impact will be critical for the economy. This sentiment is true for other government policies, for example apprenticeship funding, so that businesses have the foundations of both finance and skills in place to grow.
'The Bank of England has shown its understanding of businesses needs for certainty, first through its introduction of forward guidance and, just last week, its decision to make the Funding for Lending Scheme a business initiative rather than the home loan vehicle it had become. Businesses need that level of certainty about the long-term from the Treasury as well as from Threadneedle Street.'
Small and Medium Sized Business
Rosana Mirkovic, ACCA head of SME Policy, said: 'The Government has moved away from the previous focus of encouraging growth in the more dynamic SMEs towards supporting smaller enterprises through business rate inflation caps and a further promise of reforms on this front in 2017. Various measures announced for supporting the bricks-and-mortar high street businesses show a welcome move back to supporting the smallest and micro businesses. However, braver decisions could have been made – business rates reform has been put off for 2017, when it is clear from previous, recent budgets that the system was just not designed to take spikes in inflation into account.
'Reducing National Insurance contributions for young people could help small businesses, however, whether this is aimed at helping SMEs or get young people off benefits is an important distinction. SMEs in the UK are calling for a more skilled workforce, not an unskilled one.'
Taxation and State Retirement Age
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, ACCA's head of taxation, said: 'Families across Britain will need to look in detail at what the Autumn Statement means for them. The married person's tax allowance is a welcome move in principle, but not everyone benefits. In having an allowance restricted to those who are basic rate taxpayers creates an even more complex tax regime as well as confusion around couples who eventually become higher rate taxpayers. It should be possible for all taxpayers living with a partner to benefit from the allowance.'
'There is logic in the government increasing the state retirement age to 68 by the mid-2030s, as people live longer, but at the same time families looking to save for retirement are being penalised. The annual pension contribution limit is set to drop from £50K to £40K and the total value of the pot people can have will also drop by quarter of a million pounds from next April, so those trying to be frugal and not be dependent on the state are being squeezed.'
'ACCA welcomes the decision to exempt HMRC from further budget cuts. It is vital that it is properly resourced to keep the tax system running, and help staff the promised crackdown on those who try to evade or exploit that system. However, 'no further cuts' actually means cuts in real terms, making life difficult for HMRC. The Government wants to tighten tax collection, but it needs to invest in HMRC to achieve it.'

Class A status requires producers to test sexually intact cattle over 18 months of age for brucellosis within 30 days prior to interstate movement. Cattle exempt from this testing requirement must originate from a certified brucellosis-free herd, or be moving either directly to slaughter or from the farm of origin to an approved livestock market for testing.
Brucellosis is a contagious disease caused by the Brucella bacteria, and affects animals
and, rarely, humans. The classifications for brucellosis are as follows: Class Free, Class A,
Class B and Class C. When brucellosis is found in more than one herd of cattle in a
brucellosis-free state within a two-year period, the state is downgraded to Class A status.
Restrictions on moving cattle interstate become less stringent as a state approaches or achieves
Class Free status. The Class C designation is for states or areas with the highest rate of
brucellosis. States or areas that do not meet the minimum standards for Class C are required to
be placed under a federal quarantine.
Notice of this interim rule was published in the Sept. 3 Federal Register and became

MIDI 101 - Yamaha DTX700 - Help
It has a MIDI in.
I have a late 90's Yamaha Clavinova Piano with a MIDI out. For that matter I have a Clavinova that a purchased a few years back with a MIDI out also.
I have never used MIDI in my life :(
If I purchased a MIDI cable and connect my pinao via the MIDI out and the DTX700 via the MIDI in, could I play the sounds on the DTX on my piano?
Does the sounds come through back through the piano or do the sounds come out of the DTX module?
Could someone be "drumming" on the DTX, with the piano connected at the same time drawing from the other sounds on the DTX module?
Re: MIDI 101 - Yamaha DTX700 - Help
You should definitely Google around for a 'MIDI 101' site and educate yourself. The basics are pretty straight forward but there are more complex elements eventually..
Quick answers
If an electronic unit (DTX700) has a MIDI In it means you can trigger (play) the sounds it produces (that you normally use pads to trigger) by using a MIDI controller (the Clavinova).
A MIDI Out (from the controller) connects via MIDI cable to the MIDI In to the sound source (the DTX700 brain). The Clavinova doesn't receive any routed audio so it doesn't produce any sounds the DTX700 has internally. MIDI and Audio are kind of like plumbing and electrical in a house. They may run next to each other via pipes/wiring but don't interact directly.
*Well....electricity CAN travel through water but ...that would be only bad news, dangerous and not normal.
What the Clavinova MIDI Out was originally designed for was triggering another MIDI keyboard sound source like a Korg or Roland synthesizer. If you had the Clavinova plugged into an amp and played a note of the keys it would make a normal sound expected. If you added a MIDI cable from the Clavinova to say a Roland Fantom X8 synth plugged into it's own amp (AND configured the settings correctly) and then played a key on the Clavinova, you'd hear both the Clavinova and Fantom making sounds simultaneously. If you disconnected the Clavinova from the audio input on the amp but left it powered up and connected via MIDI, you wold only hear the Fantom produce a note.
Now before you ask any more questions - please go read a MIDI primer and try to absorb the technology a bit. That way you'll be better prepared to ask the right questions. OK?

Re: MIDI 101 - Yamaha DTX700 - Help
This is perfect.
Thank you.
I looked at it a little like learning about a car. Do you start from the front, back, sides, under the hood, exhaust ... it was a little overwhelming.
I thought I would describe a little bit what I was trying to accomplish, then hopefully someone in the know could say ... "For that you need to start from the left side."
Thanks again.
Re: MIDI 101 - Yamaha DTX700 - Help
The most basic error that a lot of people that are new to MIDI make is an assumption that MIDI carries audio. MIDI does not produce any sounds of its own - it is purely a data link.
MIDI sends a series of numbers (channel, note length, velocity, note value and (sometimes) aftertouch) to an interpreter that then turns that data into audio. The conversion can take place inboard (e.g. in your Clavinova - lovely electric piano by the way) or can be sent to an external interpreter, as Shedboyxx points out.
If you want to trigger sounds using the module on your Yamaha there is no reason why you couldn't. MIDI out on the Clavinova to MIDI in on the Yamaha unit. You could even do this the other way around so that the drums trigger the sounds on the piano. The main problem that a lot of new users run into here is setting the right MIDI channel on the MIDI receiver.
MIDI uses data channels (like channels on a mixing desk) because it is designed to be used on a number of different devices at once, linked together.
Theoretically, you could daisy-chain your piano to your drums and then into another device (say, a synthesiser) and if the channels were set up correctly then only be able to trigger notes on the piano from the drums, even though the data is sent to two external devices.
What you need to do is to make sure that the Yamaha unit is set to receive MIDI on the right channel. Check the MIDI output channel on the Clavinova (probably defaults to channel 1) and set the drums to receive the same channel. Percussion is usually set to channel 10 by default so it's likely that your Yamaha unit is set up to receive from channel 10. Change it to whatever the default output on the Clavinova is (probably channel 1) and you'll be good to go.
Make sense?
Re: MIDI 101 - Yamaha DTX700 - Help
This is really good too. Thank you.
If I am lucky, I will be able to pick up a MIDI cable today.

Grants Watershed Coordination
Periodically, the Department of Conservation awards competitive grants to special districts, nonprofit groups, and local governments to promote community based watershed management and local watershed protection efforts. The grants support watershed coordinator positions that facilitate collaborative efforts to improve and sustain the health of California's watersheds. Grants for watershed coordination offer organizations a unique opportunity to improve and sustain the health of California's watersheds through a coordinated and collaborative approach.
· History: In 2000-2002, the pilot Watershed Coordinator Grant Program provided $2 million in grant funding for RCD watershed coordinators. The program funded 30 coordinators in 30 watersheds across the state. In 2002-2003, the program was able to extend 18 of the grantees for 18 months with funding from CALFED. The Department published quarterly progress reports to highlight the activities of each grantee. In 2004, the grant program was expanded through CALFED funding from the Water Security, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach Protection Act of 2002 (Proposition 50). The 2004-2007 grants were made available. In the Spring of 2004, $9 million was awarded for 48 grants. The work carried out by these grants was completed in 2007. Visit our Grant Reports page to learn about the activities of each coordinator.
· Another grant round was carried out in 2007, also funded through CALFED Proposition 50 funds. Over $8 million was awarded during this round. Work began implementing these grants beginning in 2008. Work will continue on these grants through mid year 2011. The goal of these 2007 watershed coordinator grants is to improve watersheds which affect the CALFED Solution Area by providing support for local watershed improvement efforts.
The 2007 Request for Proposals and administrative forms are available for reference.
· In August 2010, the DOC's Statewide Watershed Program offered grants for watershed coordination assistance. With a new source of funding from Proposition 84 – Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Act of 2006, the effort has been expanded. Grants were available using a competitive process, to special districts, nonprofit groups, and local governments throughout the State, to assist in developing and implementing community based watershed programs. The deadline for grant applications has closed, and the coordinator grants have been awarded.
Watershed Grants allow special districts, nonprofit groups, and local governments to promote watershed management and local watershed improvements. The grant programs support watershed projects that employ hundreds of people throughout the state.

Florida City Cracks Down On Illegal Highway Signs
By editor
Originally published on Mon March 12, 2012 8:09 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Officials in Hollywood, Florida want to stop an annoying business tactic. They don't like signs that people illegally put in highway medians offering to buy gold or junk cars. The signs have phone numbers to call, so city officials are calling. In fact, they've used a more irritating business tactic. The Sun Sentinel newspaper said the city is placing scores of robocalls to the numbers on the signs. They're hoping to harass their owners into stopping. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

November levies receive endorsementsWritten by Bailey G. Dick | | email@example.com
In addition to voting for Toledo's mayor, City Council members and school board members, voters will have the chance to voice their opinions on three levies this November.
Issue 1, which is a levy request from the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority, is a 0.4 mill, five-year renewal levy, which will go to support the organization's economic and job development programs.
Port Authority Chairman of the Board Bill Carroll said he is confident voters will help the levy pass.
"The facts stand for themselves. We are able to show where we've created jobs and worked with small businesses in the community. Hopefully voters will see the benefit," Carroll said. "If you vote for the levy, you can rest assured that these dollars are going back into the community for economic development, to create more jobs to make our city and our community more successful."
Carroll said the Port Authority levy would not increase taxes for home-owners, and that the levy is collected at the level of 1994 property taxes. For the owner of a property valued at $100,000, the levy would cost $6.60 per year.
Carroll said funds would be used to help with projects similar to the cleanup the Port Authority did at the site of the former Jeep plant. Funds would also be used to acquire state and federal grants that may require matching or having a percentage of funds.
Important to the passage of any levy are endorsements from community organizations. One of those, the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce Board of Trustees and the Toledo Area Small Business Association, recently endorsed all three levies on the November ballot.
Linda Amos, the head of the levy review committee at the Chamber of Commerce, said the organization looks at a number of criteria before making the call to endorse a levy, such as the Port Authority's.
"We really look at this from a business standpoint, and how it affects business. We have a list of criteria, like if there are sources of funds available, how will it benefit the economic future of Toledo, and if certain taxes are the proper way of doing it," Amos said. "We listen to the presentation we get from the agencies, and sort of decide if we want to support or not based on those criteria."
When asked what made them decide to back the Port Authority levy, Amos said "Their record speaks for itself."
"The Port Authority has a strong association with the chamber, and they are an economic driver in our community," Amos said. "We felt strongly that they needed to be supported as well."
Carroll said the Port Authority levy has also been endorsed by the Democratic Party and the AFL-CIO.
Toledo Public Schools
Also on the ballot this November is Issue 24, a 6.5 mill, five-year renewal levy from Toledo Public Schools.
"The levy is an operating levy for us, so it takes care of things like keeping lights on in classrooms to paying teacher salaries," TPS spokesperson Patty Mazur said. "It's also a renewal levy, so people have already budgeted it into their monthly bills."
The levy would cost the owner of a $60,000 property $104.55 per year.
Mazur said the district is already seeing support for the levy from what she called "a very active group of volunteers," as well as positive feedback from fundraising efforts.
"We're certainly hopeful it will pass. We've seen true progress, and people are finding new energy in our new superintendent, Dr. [Romules] Durant. He's a hometown boy, a TPS grad and very proud of it," Mazur said.
Mazur said all three unions of TPS employees, as well as Toledo City Council, the Lucas County Commissioners and the Chamber of Commerce have endorsed the levy.
Amos said it was important for the Chamber of Commerce to support the levy.
"TPS is such an important economic driver for any community, and we felt strongly, especially since it's a replacement levy, that we should support it," Amos said. "The loss of this renewal would actually be a reduction in their revenue sources, and they're already having some difficulty from the state and federal level. This isn't new money. So we would encourage that strongly."
Developmental Disabilities
The third levy, Issue 2, is a 1.8 mill new and replacement levy that would support the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities.
This levy would replace two levies, one that dates back to 1958 and one that was passed in 1973.
John Trunk, superintendent of the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities, said the levy was meant to bring the levies up to today's values, while adding $1 million of funding to support the organization's programs.
"We are certainly going to be continuing to provide vital services to young children, like early intervention programs, support adults in rehabilitation and employment arrangements," Trunk said. "We will continue to use those tax dollars to help provide residential support that many individuals rely on. More specifically, we will use some of those new dollars to focus on the aging caregiver waiting list."
The owner of a $100,000 property would see an increase of $56.33 per year, or $1.08 per week.
Amos said the Chamber of Commerce endorsed the levy with some reservations.
"We decided to support but with some reservations because of the amount of the levy, and because they're asking for additional money," Amos said. "We're just a little concerned because every time an agency takes funding for a levy out of the community, that's money that's not in the economy for other purposes. So that's really where our reservations came from."
However, Amos said they decided to endorse the levy because of the services the organization provides.
"Most of this money deals with residential services. There are eight caretakers in our community that are taking care of individuals with developmental disabilities that are over 55, so they are somewhat at risk. We really need to provide for these people if something would happen to their caregiver," Amos said.
Trunk agreed.
"This is the perfect opportunity for the average citizen to make an investment in the quality of life of another person. We provide support for 5,400 people with developmental disabilities who, for a large part, rely on the board and our network of organizations that support us. That means for a young child to get the therapy and in-home supervision they need, for young adults to have help finding meaningful employment, to find roommates and eventually live independently, and for older adults to be able to engage in services," he said.
Issue 2 has received endorsements from a number of community agencies, as well as the Lucas County Commissioners, the AFL-CIO, Teamsters and UAW.
Amos said deciding to endorse any of the three levies has to do with what the community wants and needs.
"We want jobs, we want to promote economic development and good growth in the community," Amos said. "The Port Authority certainly does that. And the Board of Developmental Disabilities, we are judged by how we take care of those less fortunate than us. So we support those types of agencies. I think TPS, it's important that we have a good school system in our community."

Henrico's Top Teachers
Profiles of 20 outstanding Henrico educators
Teachers are a special breed. They are driven by a love of learning and a desire to impact young lives. They spend countless hours devising lesson plans, working individually with students before and after school and volunteering their time, seeking not recognition for their efforts but rather the smile of a student whose imagination has been captivated; a hug from a student who needs one in return; or the words of thanks from a student whose mind has grasped a challenging topic.
In the Henrico Citizen's first-annual 'Top Teachers' issue, we honor 20 of the finest educators in Henrico, as nominated by our readers. These are their stories.

Hope for the next Pope? Nope.
Eduardo Moisés Peñalver February 13, 2013 - 11:55am
I am with Garry Wills in finding myself unable to get too excited about the selection of a new pope:
[A] new pope will be elected by cardinals who were elevated to office by the very popes who reaffirmed eternal truths like the teaching on contraception. They were appointed for their loyalty, as were the American bishops who stubbornly upheld the contraception nonsense in our elections. Will the new conclave vote for a man who goes against the teachings of his predecessors? Even if they do, can the man chosen buck the structure through which he rose without kicking the structure down? These considerations have given the election of new popes the air of watching Charlie Brown keep trying to kick the football, hoping that Lucy will cooperate.
The selection process is utterly bereft of the characteristics of participation and transparency that virtually all of us would demand as criteria of legitimacy in any other context. It is possible, I suppose, that the process will somehow misfire and yield a Pope who affirms values of openness and accountability. Now that would surely be a sign of divine intervention.
Commenting Guidelines
Re Gary Wills interview with ColbertIs Wills denying only transubstantiation or the Real Presence? Even Luther got rid of priests and kept the Real Presence. As someone already said here, there's nothing really new that didn't come up at the Reformation, so it's not like Wills doesn't have options.I leave the interview feeling a great loss of respect for Wills.
I wish Gary Wills had been seen with, not just Colbert, who simply says what we believe, but with someone who could argue why we believe what we believe. The "essay on the development of doctrine" is over 400 pages long. Is there any way to present it to a general audience on prime time TV in 5 minutes or less?
Claire,Maybe the essay could be presented on SRCthe Speed-Reading Channel.
Claire, I wonder if anyone can speak authoritatively about "what we believe." Who's "we," after all? The lambs or the elephants? In Garry Will's 2000 book, Papal Sins: Structures of Deceit, he pointed out that in 1963, 70% of Catholics thought the "Pope derived his authority to teach from Christ by way of Peter. In 1974, that number had shrunk to 42 percent."So if it was only 42% in 1974, what is it now? And "who could argue why we believe what we believe?" Would it be a priest? I notice that some priests, who have had extensive training in theology, history, scripture studies, etc., are careful not to say what they know, maybe for fear of scandalizing the lambs, maybe to protect their jobs, etc. Better to let the clueless remain that way than to attempt to feed them information they can't handle and don't want. http://www.amazon.com/Papal-Sin-Structures-Garry-Wills/dp/0385494114/ref...
Newman's "An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine" is online here:http://www.newmanreader.org/works/development/His Postscript is interesting:"Since the above was written, the Author has joined the Catholic Church. It was his intention and wish to have carried his Volume through the Press before deciding {xi} finally on this step. But when he had got some way in the printing, he recognized in himself a conviction of the truth of the conclusion to which the discussion leads, so clear as to supersede further deliberation. Shortly afterwards circumstances gave him the opportunity of acting upon it, and he felt that he had no warrant for refusing to do so.His first act on his conversion was to offer his Work for revision to the proper authorities; but the offer was declined on the ground that it was written and partly printed before he was a Catholic, and that it would come before the reader in a more persuasive form, if he read it as the author wrote it.It is scarcely necessary to add that he now submits every part of the book to the judgment of the Church, with whose doctrine, on the subjects of which he treats, he wishes all his thoughts to be coincident."
My copy of Wills's new book arrived today. I've just started it, and it is great.
"Benedict has given the SSPX a final chance (according to Rorate)"Bishop Fellay says it looks as if the SSPX will have to wait for he new Pope. No mention of a 22 February window. He says he regrets Benedict didn't take any final action to resolve their situation.http://www.ndf.fr/nos-breves/15-02-2013/mgr-fellay-jai-pense-quen-annonc...(French only, sorry)
"Yet Why Priests? exudes the same angry and bitter tone as his 2001 Papal Sin: Structures of Deceit. Once again he has taken a sledgehammer to an issue that requires a much more delicate instrument. We clearly need a good, serious book that moves the ball forward on the theology of ordained ministry, especially in relation to Christian worship. Sadly, this is not it.I'm on page 55. (It's so good, that I'm taking my time. Savoring each charming paragraph.)I'm surprised that Baldovin would accuse Wills of writing with an "angry and bitter tone." The tone, imho, is good-natured and sweet. And there is no sledgehammer. (I hope no one will be discouraged from reading this book by Baldovin's review.) The chapter on Holy Men, e.g., is wonderful. As are the other three chapters I've finished.
NYT Book Review:http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/17/books/review/why-priests-by-garry-will... book is so great, that it's hard to pick out favorite parts, but the chapters on "Explaining the Miracle: Augustine" and "Killer Priests" are enlightening, to say the least.
Gerelyn--You are actually his agent, aren't you?
The conclusion of the NYT Review and the identification of the reviewer:There is one God, and Jesus is one of his prophets, Wills concludes, and I am one of his millions of followers. For those millions, scattered across time and space, thats an affirmation worthy of celebration.Randall Balmer, an Episcopal priest, is chairman of the religion department at Dartmouth College. He is completing a biography of Jimmy Carter.I feel a certain "malaise" coming on.
Ha. Yes, I know what you mean, Robert, although I have a personal reason for LOVING Jimmy Carter.When I googled Wills today to see what new reviews there were (other than my Customer Review at Amazon), that one came up, but it made it look as if it had been written by Jimmy Carter. Naturally I rushed to see what it said. Not by Jimmy at all, but by Randall. I liked Randall's conclusion. One of the many many wonderful points in the book is the one about what the Followers called themselves in the early (pre-priest) days.Wills, of course, is a devout Catholic, part of the Body of Christ. He mentions the Catholic community he belongs to in his Acknowledgments.----(To Proska: He also mentions his famous agent, Andrew Wylie.)
I quibble with this statement by Horan:Heresy, of course, doesnt mean the opposite of orthodox doctrine or even some ideological position along the continuum of heterodox thought. Heresy is holding part of the truth as the whole truth.I counter it with this:Heresy may be the result of poor timing. Jaroslav Pelikan, "The Christian Tradition: A History of the Development of Doctrine", Vol I, "The Emergence of Catholic Tradition."And this:If our understanding of God develops slowly and somewhat uncertainly, then there will always be as much reason to regard any putative (i.e., commonly accepted or supposed) heresy as a new insight as there will be to regard it as a distortion of the truth. Gordon Graham, "The Goodness of God and the Conception of Hell" New Blackfriars, November 1988
Reading this will solve all: (be sure and go to the comments!)http://cal-catholic.com/wordpress/2013/02/13/if-you-like-benedict-youll-...

RE: Your Zac memories.
I might as well share my Zac memory now to start it off.
[This may end up being really long just fyi]
Okay, so this all started when I found out Zac was going to be in Atlanta for CSC promo, and I like begged my mom for a week to take me to Atlanta just for the off chance that I would get to see him. So finally July 13, 2010 came around and I woke up at 6 A.M. in order for me and my mom to drive to Atlanta. I knew Zac was doing a TV appearance on the local Atlanta news and that he would be at the baseball stadium. We went to the TV station first since that was earlier in the morning than the baseball stadium event. We got to the TV station around 10:50, 10 minutes before Zac was supposed to be there which I was not aware of. (I thought he was already there, and I would just get to watch him do his interview. I wasn't expecting to literally meet him there). A couple minutes went by and I'm standing in the lobby of the TV station near the big window they have and I see a big black car pull up next to the door. I didn't think much until I saw Zac get out of the car. As soon as I saw Zac, I had (what I would call) a mini panic attack because I wasn't expecting to see him or for him to walk through the lobby where I was at which he was walking towards the door to come in. Zac walked through the door with his publicist and body guard person, and as soon as he walked through the door and was like 5 feet away from me I completely froze and got really quiet. Until he was right in front of me (5 feet away) from where I was standing. I said in a very quiet and shy voice, "Zac Efron?" Him, his publicist, and body guard all turned toward me at the exact same time which made me more nervous. So at this point, I'm shaking out of nervousness and I didn't know what to say except, "Can I get a picture with you?" In that situation, I did not know what else to say, but looking back I felt like I should've said something else. Anyways, after I said that his publicist said, "No" but Zac told her, "No, it's all right, I'm going to go take a picture with a fan" And that just made me even more nervous, but happy. So I'm standing over there shocked, happy, and nervous at the same time. Zac walks over to me to take the picture. (I think he could tell how nervous I was). He walked over to me and smiled at me and asked me what my name was, and I said Miranda. Then I told him that I love all of his movies. As my mom was preparing to take the picture, Zac asked, "Where are you from?" and I said, "Alabama" and Zac said, "Wow, I didn't know I had fans from Alabama" Then my mom took the picture, but she messed up the picture and Zac's body guard was saying, "we gotta go now" but Zac was like, "It's alright, you can take another picture." So my mom took the picture, and I told Zac, "thank you so much" then Zac gave me like a half-hug and said, "No problem, it was nice meeting you." and then walked back with his publicist and body guard to do his interview. At this point, I'm still in shock from what happened.
Here's the second picture (still messed up but better than the first; I blame my mom because she isn't camera savvy so yeah):

RE: Your Zac memories.
Thought I#d give this a bump.
Ooh wow, lets see.
Well there's the Hairspray& HSM3 London prem.. no luck there when meeting Zac..
17 Again London prem -please excuse how bad my sister and I look, lmao
Zac signed the 'We <3 Zac' poster my sister and I made, and said 'cool poster' xD
Me And Orson Welles screening a Q&A [I attended the one in London which Zac attended, and it was streamed to other screenings around the country] - I didn't go to the MAOW London prem because I went to the screening. (ignore the '2 years ago today. the pic is from my tumblr)
Charlie St. Cloud London Premiere - where I received my 6th or 7th[?] autograph from Zac, and I also got him to sign his 2010 Birthday Book without him knowing what it was exactly. (See video)
I also took part in a Zefron Street Team comp thing where we designed a logo for the zefron store (is that running still?) and my logo [along with cblodg's] was picked. Two shirts were sent to Zac which he signed, and Kathryn kindly sent them to Chris and I. There was also another time the zefron street team wrote letters to Zac which Diane kindly set up, and we each got a personalised autograph from that too.
The other autographs are somewhere in my room, and I can't be bothered to find them right now, haha.

RE: Your Zac memories.
I miss his youth days when he was young. It's hard watching him grow up now. And the two things Beee got, we all went in for him and had things signed. And I couldn't believe how fast we got them, but we did and I still have the box and two pictures he sent to me also. I also liked when he would send a thank you to Kathryn and she sent it to us. It was very special. Now he does twitter and facebook. His parents check the forum once in a while or they used to. I miss those days. Now he has everything. That's what is hard now.
I also miss our street team, we did alot with signatures and winning signs and everyone got involved. it was awesome. I wish others did graphics and we could have the same thing back. that would be fun.
