It's a small, delightful world.
Participating in a chamber ensemble is one of the most rewarding experiences any musician can have. Participants enjoy the challenge of playing an independent part, the richness of the repertoire, and the close personal contact amongst colleagues.
The adult chamber music program at Hartt is open to string, piano, woodwind, and brass players. Ensembles are organized by interest and ability and are coached by Community Division faculty.
The chamber music program will be divided into fall and spring sessions, each culminating in an end-of-session recital. We encourage everyone to participate in these recitals, but they are not obligatory.
Suggested number of meetings is 12 per semester, with a minimum of 8.
$330 per session. Includes 12 coachings.
$330 per session for Community Division private lesson students. Includes 12 coachings.
Participants are welcome to sign up for additional coaching as time and schedule permits.
$252 per session for Community Division private lesson students. Includes 12 coachings.
Participants are welcome to sign up for additional coaching as time and schedule permits.
Chamber placement meetings will be held to place participants in a group that matches their ability and interests. The meeting will include playing for the program coordinator and other chamber music faculty.
To schedule a chamber placement meeting or if you have additional questions, please contact the Community Division main office at (860) 768-4451 or the Adult Chamber Music coordinators, Barbara Hopkins, at email@example.com or Pablo Issa at email@example.com.

Hey Guys,
I'm not all that familiar with STI. This is my first bike with STI shifters. I have Shimano RSX 3x7 Speed shifters controlling a 7 speed RSX rear dérailleur on a 7 speed cassette. The issue I am having is when I shift from the second smallest to the smallest cog or the third smallest to the second smallest cog or the fourth smallest to the third smallest cog it doesn't always shift. I push in the inner control lever on the shifter but it doesn't click. It is like pushing air. If I push it a few times, sometimes it will shift. If I try and pull the lever toward me and then in, it will shift most of the time. It doesn't always do this but it happens often. Once in a while it will shift with out me having to fidget with it at all. It never happens *knocks on wood* when shifting from a small cog to a larger one.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I can adjust? I'm guessing it is not with the rear dérailleur.
Thanks all,

Homicides decline in Oklahoma City in first quarter, but violent assaults continue to rise
A woman found dead in a burning car last month is among the latest victims of violence plaguing Willow Cliff Apartments.
As detectives work to solve the homicide, violence continues to trouble residents. Squad cars ripped into the complex, at 5304 Willow Cliff Road, to break up a fight Thursday evening, and police briefly detained at least one youth to assuage the tension.
Police Chief Bill Citty said homicides were down in Oklahoma City in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, but violent assaults have not abated. In fact, they are on the upswing long-term.
Residents at Willow Cliff agree. The yawning apartment complex in northwest Oklahoma City is flanked by large ponds that draw wildlife including geese, ducks and cranes. Residents love to fish there; their catches include bass and crappie. Music from nearby Putnam City High School's band floats over the complex some evenings. Children play soccer at nearby Dolese Youth Park.
"It's a lovable area," resident Bennie Houston III said.
Houston, an Army veteran who works in manufacturing, lives at Willow Cliff to stay near his mother, who refuses to leave. She and other longtime residents love the area and call it home, Houston said.
Violence in recent years has caused some neighbors to either leave or to move from the back of the complex to the front, where they feel safer.
Fights are a common scene, residents said.
"A lot of the things we took for granted — the peace, the quiet in the evening," Houston said. "It's gone. It's gone now."
Oklahoma City police tackled 19 homicides in the first quarter of 2013, compared to 28 in the same period last year, a decrease of almost one-third. In 2012, the city had 99 homicides, the third most for one year in its history.
Police found Laquisha Danielle Towers, 27, dead in a burning car March 2 at Willow Cliff Apartments. Hers is one of five 2013 first-quarter homicides that remains unsolved.
"There's a correlation between aggravated assaults and homicides," Citty said. "Homicides are an assault of the worst outcome."
Over the past 10 to 15 years, aggravated assaults have been on the upswing, Citty said.
To address the violence, police are using overtime programs to deploy more patrols in areas where data shows violent assaults are on the rise, the chief said.
"People in those areas are going to see more officers," he said. "They're going to see more enforcement occurring in those areas."
Houston said he has seen more patrol cars in the Willow Cliff area.
Thursday's fight drew residents out of their homes. They looked at the scene, shaking heads. Houston and his mother were among them.
"It is disturbing. There are residents who have been here for 10, 15 years, and they love it here," he said.
Technical tools
New technology is helping the police force prevent and solve crimes, Citty said.
In the past four months, some squad cars have been outfitted with license plate readers that automatically pick up numbers and run them through the National Crime Information Center. Criminals who steal cars typically commit other crimes, such as robbery, which can turn violent quickly, Citty said.
Criminals often make a digital record of their crimes on cellphones and on social networks. Those records help detectives secure a conviction in crimes such as homicide.
"People talk," Citty said. "People who commit crimes talk."
At Willow Cliff, residents hope the violence will stop.
Houston said young people without parental guidance, who lack core values and basic respect, get wrapped up in violence.
"These are children without adult supervision so to speak of," he said, "or there are core values that have seemed to be lost somewhere along the way. That's noticeable by the language that they speak and even the tone that they use while they're speaking their language. It's a lack of respect."
He said residents need to "stick together, stand up for one another."
A lot of the things we took for granted — the peace, the quiet in the evening. It's gone. It's gone now."

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Real Housewives of New Jersey's Rosie Pierri on Her Big Weight Loss and the Dramatic Season 6 — Exclusive!
Real Housewives of New Jersey fan fave Rosie Pierri has been on a journey to transform her health ever since visiting Miraval in Arizona, as fans know. She's quite smoking, buckled down on going to the gym, and totally changed her figure.
What's the key to her awesome success? And what can we expect when we tune in to Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6? Wetpaint Entertainment recently caught up with Rosie to get all the deets.
Wetpaint Entertainment: We've been so impressed by your weight loss. What inspired you to make the change?
Rosie Pierri: Well, I was working on that before I started doing the show with my sister. It's a process. What inspired me to do more was when we took the trip out to Arizona. I had a little bit of a meltdown out there. It kind of made me feel like whatever I wanted to change about myself, I could do. I guess I had to change some of the stuff on the inside, first, and then I was able to start chiseling away at my appearance and my health and everything else.
My first step was to kick the habit of smoking cigarettes. I did that while I was out there in Arizona. When I came back I decided to start going to the gym. I was always a pretty healthy eater, but my metabolism doesn't work like everyone else's. I got that fat gene, I guess, you know what I'm saying? The chubby gene [laughs]. It's a friggin' bad gene, though.
It just makes it that much harder.
And I still gotta work hard, every day. I go to the gym every morning. And I'm sure a lot of thin people do the same, I'm not saying that they don't. To get to your goals, you have to eat right you have to constantly remind yourself to drink enough water, to take your vitamins. All those things that I kind of neglected because of work and stuff like that. I work a lot and I always made that an excuse, but I'm done making excuses.
What do you think was the key to your success.
I think it's all in your mind, in what you think you can accomplish. I think that once you set your mind to something — and I'd always been that way, but I kind of lost track. I have a pretty good willpower, and I'm a fighter. I think the best thing to do is tell it to other people, and say you're going to do something, and you do it public. Because now you're being accountable for the things you said you're going to do.
My family was after me for a while about smoking. And I made a promise to myself that in 2013 I was going to stop smoking. And I told my family the same thing. I said, "give me until 2013, and I'll stop." So when I was out in Arizona I said well, I'm out here, the air is fresh, I'm in the middle of the desert, it's a beautiful place, I'm away from work so I don't have any stress or pressure, and that night I said, this is it. My last cigarette. And the next morning I had two left in my pack. I looked at them and I said "I could smoke these two, or I could just throw them away." And I just threw them away, and I never picked up a cigarette. I do cheat a little bit with the e-cigarette, so that's helping me, too. I always kid around and say alright, well I half quit smoking. But it's still something,and I'm proud of myself over it. It was a hard thing for me to do.
Another thing that helped was that when I hit a plateau with the weight loss, I started looking into this company that helps and manages your weight loss. It's called ViSalus. It's helping me break through that plateau. They supply me with a high protein cereal for breakfast, and then they have a whole bunch of different things that you can eat throughout the day. It's meal supplements, which is great for me because I'm big on skipping meals because I don't have the time sometimes. So I have a high protein shake. They're really good. These shakes from them are unbelievable, and I've tried different ones from other place, and I've never liked a lot of them, but this one in unbelievable. it's working. And what's really great about it is that for every 10 you lose they donate a meal to hungry child, which is awesome. If anybody's interested, I'm doing a 90 day challenge, and people can join me.
And I know you were just at a Just Salad opening.
That place is fantastic! They have a bunch of different locations in Manhattan and a new location in West Caldwell, NJ, that's the one I was just at. It's totally awesome. They give you a bowl, and you can either build your own salad, or you have salads to choose from. I like the build your own because I'm kind of picky. They have all low-calorie dressings that are phenomenal. I just had a horseradish chive one it was delicious. All different kinds of lettuce and spinach and then they have all your different toppings. Beans, carrots, celery, corn —anything you can imagine, it's there. And then they have chicken or steak or falafel. Everything's real fresh and healthy. It's a really awesome place I love it here.
We're excited to see you back on RHONJ Season 6. Can you tease it for us?
You're going to see a lot of new faces this year, and some old faces from past seasons. You've got Dina coming back, and you've got the twins and Amber. I can't really say too much, but I can say that I think everybody's going to have to hold onto their seats a little bit! Get ready for a ride.
There certainly looks like there's a lot of drama based on the promo.
You're going to be surprised by how much drama is going to be going around. Whoever wants the drama, they're going to love it. Whoever doesn't like it, hopefully they get to see some other fun stuff in there. You're going to see some stuff about me, and Kathy and Rich will be making an appearance here and there. I think everybody's going to enjoy it. there's a good mix.
What else do you have going on this summer?
On Monday, July 14 Kathy Rich and I are going to be having dinner at DiPaolo's in New Jersey. If people want to come and hang out tickets are available [Ed note: See flyer to the left]. You can just call the restaurant, we have dinner and dessert and we get to hang out. We're looking forward to meeting a lot of people there in a different part of New Jersey that we've never been to, so we're excited about that.
I don't have anything coming out, but I want to mention my sister does have her cookbook for desserts, called Indulge, coming up. Pre-order in September. It's going to be awesome. She took so much time with every recipe. I see her slaving in her kitchen making sure everything is perfect. She has great dessert recipes lined up for everyone, and with every recipe there's a nice little story about our family, about her family, about her in-laws, about my aunts and uncles. Everybody's going to really enjoy the books. I know they're going to enjoy the book. You can find out more about that at Kathy's site.
For more from Rosie, follow her on Twitter @RosiePierri.
Catch the Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 6 premiere on Sunday, July 13, 2014 at 8 p.m. ET.

« Kris Jenner Was Robbed During Her Visit To Austria | Home | Brandi Glanville And Lisa Vanderpump Make Nice With Kyle Richards' Help »
June 27, 2014 11:13 AM by Lisa Princ
For months now, or at least since he split from Kris Jenner, rumors have been plastered all over Facebook and Twitter about Bruce Jenner getting a possible sex change. And rumor has it that now that Kimye's wedding is over, Bruce is finally ready to fulfill his dream of becoming a woman!
Is Bruce Jenner finally going to go through with a sex change? For months, we've been watching the Kardashian patriarch's looks drastically change and become very feminine, sparking many rumors that he has been contemplating a sex change. Then the rumors seemed to cool down and as all of the focus seemed to be on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding. But now that the wedding is over, according to Celebrity Dirty Laundry, Bruce's sex change plans are back on.
What's more is that according to the latest edition of The National Enquirer, Jenner even has a new name picked out! One source dished: "Bruce is leaning heavily towards changing his name to Brigitte once his transformation is complete. He can't go through such extreme measures and then still be called Bruce after all is said and done." Insiders claim that Jenner is already trying to narrow down a date to have the surgery and complete his transformation.
While we know that Bruce has been looking more feminine these days, we're still not entirely sure any of these so called reports are even true. Only time will tell…
What do you think of Bruce Jenner possibly getting a sex change? Will he go through with it? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear from you. Comment below to share your thoughts with us.

Viburnum plicatum was first introduced as the garden form found in Japan in 1844, before the original wild form, V. f. tomentosum, was discovered. It is a remarkable shrub, with widely spreading branches that naturally assume a series of horizontal tiers. 'Mariesii' emphasises this layered effect, dramatic at any time, but especially when the flowers appear, neat lacecap heads arranged in two parallel rows along the upperside of the spreading branches. Careful pruning, similar to that used for espalier apples, can produce a satisfying symmetrical shrub. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

May 26, 2016
To say it's been a hot day across the twin states would be an understatement. Temperatures so far today have climbed to the lower 90s with the heat index sitting in the lower 100s. With dewpoints holding steady in the lower 70s, not only is it humid, but it's downright hot outside. The brief warm-up that we are experiencing this weekend is all thanks to high-pressure building in from the west.
Sunday will be a transition day, but not before we experience yet again another brutally hot day, even hotter than today. As the ridge continues to hold it's grip over us temperatures will climb into the mid 90s. Factor in the dewpoint and it will feel like you just climbed into a sauna set on max. From about noon tomorrow to 5 PM heat index values will be over 100 degrees and pushing 106 degrees. It's very important during these hours that you limit your activities outside, so that you don't suffer a heat stroke.
The good news is as fast as this ridge built in it will break down as a cold front swings through the area Monday. Rain looks to arrive during the late afternoon with some storms on the strong side. As the cold front clears the viewing area a more pleasant week is in store. All next week temperatures will be sitting in the mid to upper 80s for highs and low to mid 60s for lows. Monday also looks to be our best chance at rain for the next seven days.

The region is a hotbed for companies working with the ICT, food, science and logistics.The area is also known as Medicon Valley, one of the world's leading clusters in biotechnology with more than 41 000 employees and 5000 clinical researchers.
Among the companies that have headquarters or research centers in or near Malmo include Subaro, Duni, Mercedes-Benz, Stralfors, Vestas, Epsilon, Findus, Oriflame, Sony Ericsson, Tetra Pak Thule and Acadia.
In Malmö it is indeed close to everything. With access to two airports in just 30 minutes from the center; Copenhagen International Airport - one of Europe's largest airports with direct flights all over the world - and Malmö Airport.
The local infrastructure of roads and rail networks are extensive, bicycle routes crossing the whole town and walking paths as well. Malmö City is constantly working to optimize the infrastructure further.
One of the largest projects was the construction of the underground train link between Malmö Central station and the Öresund Bridge.

If you''ve got an original link, essay, or other information about P.T. Barnum, please submit it here. If you''ve got a general circus, sideshow, museum, or Bridgeport link that is not DIRECTLY related to Barnum, you will be better off with another category.Barnum, P. T. (Phineas Taylor), 1810-1891, entertainer and circus promoter.
Phineas Taylor Barnum (1810-1891) is one of the most colorful and well known personalities in American history. A consummate showman and entrepreneur, Barnum was famous for bringing both high and low culture to all of America. From the dulcet tones of opera singer Jenny Lind "The Swedish Nightingale" to the bizarre hoax of the Feejee Mermaid, from the clever and quite dimunitive General Tom Thumb to Jumbo the Elephant, Barnum's oddities, spectacles, galas, extravaganzas, and events tickled the fancies, hearts, minds and imaginations of Americans of all ages.
No sites will be accepted to this category. It exists merely to point to the categories for L. Ron Hubbard as an author of fiction and as a religious figure.L. Ron Hubbard is known for achievements in two different fields: he was an author of pulp science fiction; and he was the founder of Scientology. In this latter capacity, as a religious figure, he also evokes criticism of his character.
This category is about Malcolm X (1925-1965), born Malcolm Little, a much celebrated leader of the human rights movement of the 60's.
Many historians note December 1, 1955, as the beginning of the modern civil rights movement in the U.S.
From 1965 until her retirement, Rosa Parks worked for U.S. Representative John Conyers of Michigan. In 1999 she was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor.
Sites only about the evangelist, abolitionist, and women''s rights advocate named Sojourner Truth.Sojourner Truth was born Isabella Bomefree about 1797 at Hurley, New York. Her parents were James and Betsy, slaves of Colonel Hardenbergh. Isabella was sold four times between 1806 and 1828. Isabella changed her name to Sojourner Truth in 1843, as she planned to travel the land telling the truth. There are some reports that this change was a response to a religious vision Truth experienced. Sojourner Truth died at her home on College Street on November 26, 1883. Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth were attending a meeting. Frederick had been speaking very despondently. A hush came over the audience as Sojourner rose and admonished Mr. Douglass by asking, "Frederick, is God dead?" These three words, "Is God Dead?" are inscribed on her tombstone, along with her reputed age of 105 which is really thought to be more like 86.

After three seasons in Lemaire's job share, Manny Fernandez emerged this winter as the favorite and bumped former All-Star Dwayne Roloson to a backup role.
So, on the day before the NHL's trading deadline, Roloson was dealt Wednesday to the Edmonton Oilers for a first-round draft pick this summer and future considerations.
"We're seeing some changes around here, and I think goalie-wise everyone knew what was going to happen," said Fernandez, who signed a $13 million, three-year contract extension last week.
The Oilers have used Jussi Markkanen, Ty Conklin and Mike Morrison to mind the net this season? and none of them have impressed. Edmonton currently has the eighth and final position in the Western Conference playoff race, seven points ahead of Minnesota.
The Wild have sputtered since the Olympic break, losing four out of five games including a 3-2 overtime decision to seventh-place Los Angeles on Tuesday night. They're 10th, four points behind Anaheim.
By 2 p.m. CT Thursday, it's possible more trades will be made.
"We all understand that it's something that could happen," said center Wes Walz, one of the veterans who could be moved. "I don't think anyone's untouchable in our room."
By extending Fernandez, waiving disappointing right wing Alexandre Daigle and dealing Roloson, general manager Doug Risebrough has whittled Minnesota's list of players who soon will be unrestricted free agents to six. Center Marc Chouinard, defenseman Filip Kuba, defenseman Willie Mitchell, center Randy Robitaille, defenseman Daniel Tjarnqvist and defenseman Andrei Zyuzin are among the others who could be dealt.
Risebrough is in a tough spot, trying to build the club for the future and get something back for the players the Wild won't be re-signing? yet realizing, too, that they're not giving up on the postseason.
"The team is still competing," he said. "We're still there. The changes made have to have more of a delicate balance."
Though he enjoyed living in the Twin Cities, was active in the community and cherished the team's run through the 2003 playoffs as well as his appearance in the 2004 All-Star game at Xcel Energy Center, Roloson was happy to have some finality to his situation.
"It's nice to have it done and actually know where I'm going to play," he said as he left the Minneapolis arena where his teammates were practicing. "I'm not going to be here, unfortunately, but at the same time I'm going to a team that has a chance to make the playoffs and win the Stanley Cup."
Roloson, after stellar seasons in 2002-03 and 2003-04, has slumped to a record of 6-17 and a goals-against average of 3.00. His save percentage is .910.
It hasn't been all his fault, though. Bad bounces have haunted him all season.
"I can't say that we played superb in front of him every night," Robitaille said. "I'm sure there were a few games he'd like to have back this year, but I know in the past that he's been the man here."
Indeed, the Wild wished the 36-year-old Roloson well and remarked on his somewhat unexpected success after spending the entire 2000-01 season in the minors.
"He's been great for us," Lemaire said. "We thank him for all that he did."
To replace Roloson, the Wild recalled Josh Harding from their top minor-league team, the Houston Aeros. Harding, 21, is second in the AHL in both victories (27) and save percentage (.923). A second-round draft pick in 2002, Harding might get sent back to Houston for the playoffs. But first, Risebrough and the coaching staff must evaluate him.
"If we feel that Manny needs a rest, we'll play the kid," Lemaire said.
Islanders trade Parrish and Sopel to Kings for two prospects
NEW YORK — The New York Islanders traded second-leading goal scorer Mark Parrish and defenseman Brent Sopel to the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night for two prospects.
Parrish, a U.S. Olympian, scored his 24th of the season on Tuesday in New York's shootout victory over New Jersey. Sopel was scratched because the team said he had a bruised knee.
The Islanders are only seven points out of a playoff spot but they trail three teams and are tied with Boston for 11th place in the Eastern Conference race.
So with 21 games remaining and the postseason a long shot, outgoing general manager Mike Milbury made a move to make the team younger and cheaper by acquiring defenseman Denis Grebeshkov and left winger Jeff Tambellini, both former first-round picks.
"This is a trade made undoubtedly with an eye on the future of our organization, but we're also very comfortable putting Denis and Jeff right into our lineup and still making a run at the playoffs this season," said Milbury, who will give up his title once a replacement is found.
Tambellini is the son of former Islanders Stanley Cup winner Steve Tambellini, the Vancouver Canucks assistant GM who is a potential candidate to replace Milbury.
Grebeshkov, 22, was the Kings' first-round pick in 2002. The 21-year-old Tambellini was chosen the following year with the 27th pick.
"Grebeshkov is an extremely talented two-way defenseman who will have a long career on the blue line for us," Milbury said. "Tambellini is a fantastic skater and an exciting player with a lot of skill."
Grebeshkov has spent most of the season with Manchester of the AHL, where he had two goals and 25 assists in 48 games. He had two assists in eight games with Los Angeles.
Tambellini was Manchester's leading scorer this season with 25 goals and 56 points in 56 games. He had no points in four games with the Kings.
Both players are expected to join the Islanders for practice on Thursday.
"I've always followed the Islanders because of my dad's link to their tradition. I'm so excited about the opportunity to be an Islander," Tambellini said in a statement.
New York also received a conditional third-round pick in this year's draft.
The trade will help the Kings up front and on defense as they work to solidify their playoff position. Los Angeles is sixth in the Western Conference with 75 points but only four behind fourth-place Nashville.
Parrish only signed a one-year deal in the offseason and can become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. In five seasons with the Islanders, he had 118 goals and 96 assists in 345 games.
A false report out of Canada on Monday had him traded away three days too soon. But when he scored Tuesday night, he seemed resigned to the fact that it might be his last one with the Islanders.
"My name's been in rumors for a long time, so I'm kind of used to it, but it is in the back of my mind," he said.
Sopel was acquired last summer from Vancouver and then signed a two-year deal with the Islanders to avoid arbitration and keep from becoming a free agent after this season.
But he was shipped out after a disappointing 57-game stint in which he had two goals and 25 assists.
Sharks acquire Nieminen from Rangers for third-round pick
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The struggling San Jose Sharks acquired left wing Ville Nieminen from the New York Rangers on Wednesday for a third-round pick in the upcoming draft.
Nieminen, a key member of Finland's silver medal-winning team at the Turin Olympics, has five goals and 12 assists in 48 games with the Rangers this season. San Jose general manager Doug Wilson hopes the agitating forward will provide the Sharks with some of the tenacity they've lacked in a disappointing season.
"He brings grit, and he gets very involved in the game," Wilson said. "You saw what he did at the Olympics with Finland, and he plays very well in the playoffs. He just has that energy that you need. Every team that he goes to, he makes them better."
Nieminen is joining his sixth team in the last five NHL seasons. He also has played for Calgary, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Colorado, which drafted him in the third round in 1997.
The Rangers could have made the deal as a prelude to another move, clearing Nieminen's salary off the books. Nieminen is under contract through next season.
Nieminen will be in uniform for the Sharks' home game against Edmonton on Thursday night. San Jose completed a discouraging, winless road trip Tuesday in Anaheim when captain Patrick Marleau put the puck into his own net during overtime of a 5-4 loss.
The Sharks are in 11th place in the Western Conference, eight points behind the Oilers for the final playoff spot.
"I like our team, and I believe in our team a lot," Wilson said. "I think we're all frustrated that we haven't performed up to our capabilities. I also know that sometimes you need some type of spark to get you going. Ville is that type of spark type of player."
Nieminen spent the 2003-04 season with the Calgary Flames, facing the Sharks in the Western Conference finals. He attended school in his hometown of Tamdpere, Finland, with close friend Vesa Toskala, the Sharks' longtime backup goalie.
Devils add veteran on defense
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New Jersey Devils acquired veteran defenseman Ken Klee from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday in a trade for minor league forward Aleksander Suglobov.
Klee, who can be a free agent after the season, is in his 11th season. He signed with Toronto as a free agent in 2003, after spending nine seasons with Washington, and has career totals of 50 goals and 105 assists for 155 points in 692 regular-season games.
The 34-year-old Klee was third among Toronto's defensemen this season with three goals and 12 assists for 15 points and 66 penalty minutes in 56 games. Lou Lamoriello, the Devils general manager and interim coach, said the deal provides his team with valuable experience and defensive depth.
Suglobov, 24, is in his third season in North America. He had 25 goals and 23 assists for 48 points and 52 penalty minutes in 51 games with Albany of the American Hockey League this season.
Morris, Reinprecht agree to new 3-year contracts with Phoenix
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Phoenix Coyotes announced Wednesday that center Steven Reinprecht and defenseman Derek Morris have agreed to new three-year contracts with the team.
Coyotes general manager Mike Barnett did not disclose financial details.
Reinprecht, 29, was obtained in a trade with the Calgary Flames last month. He has three goals and one assist in the past four games and 13 goals on the season overall.
Morris, 27, was activated from the injured list Tuesday after being sidelined since Jan. 5 when he had surgery on his left ankle. He has two goals and 14 assists in 33 games this season.
"Derek Morris would have been the youngest defenseman in this summer's free agent group," Barnett said. "Steve Reinprecht is a skilled and versatile forward who will play on one of our top four lines."
Blue Jackets trade Richardson to Toronto
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Blue Jackets traded defenseman Luke Richardson to the Toronto Maple Leafs for a conditional draft pick Wednesday, ending the veteran's disappointing stint in Columbus.
The Blue Jackets will get either a fifth-round pick in 2006 or a fourth-round pick in 2007, Columbus president and general manager Doug MacLean said.
Richardson, 36, is in his 18th season. He was named captain two months after signing with the Blue Jackets as a free agent before the 2002-03 season, but stepped down as captain last November after being benched for the last game of a seven-game losing streak.
Richardson has one goal, six assists and 30 penalty minutes in 44 games this season. He has 33 goals and 153 assists in 1,290 career games while serving 1,955 penalty minutes.
Richardson was Toronto's first pick and the seventh overall in 1987. He played 278 games with the Maple Leafs from 1987 to 1991.
Bruins claim Czerkawski from Maple Leafs
BOSTON? The Boston Bruins claimed right wing Mariusz Czerkawski off waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday.
Czerkawski played 19 games with the Maple Leafs this season with four goals and one assist for five points.
Czerkawski began his career with the Bruins in 1993. He later played for Edmonton, the New York Islanders and Montreal before signing last year with Toronto as a free agent.
Czerkawski has scored 20-plus goals in six of his eight full NHL seasons. He has career totals of 211 goals and 219 assists for 430 points with 270 penalty minutes in 729 career games.
In a related move, the Bruins returned Ben Walter to their minor affiliate in Providence.

College Activities: I participated in two Summer terms through CSB/SJU: New Zealand and Sweden. I also studied abroad on a semester program to London. On campus, I was involved with the Saint Ben's Senate, ECHO, Joint Events Council, and Benedictine Friends. Each of the activities I chose to join provided amazing growth and leadership opportunities and introduced me to so many new people.
Fun Facts: I went skydiving over The Remarkables in Queenstown, New Zealand. I would love to have a chocolate lab. I swam next to a sea turtle (in the wild) in Hawaii. I am the 35th person in my family to have attended CSB or SJU, beginning with my Great Grandfather! Two goals on my bucket list include learning how to dogsled and visiting all of the Olympic Villages (I've been to 5).

A unnamed Best Buy store is taking the liberty of cracking open new Xbox 360s and updating them with the latest firmware. The only problem? They slap on an additional $29.99 charge for the service.
A reader of the Consumerist website snapped the pics to prove it. Updated consoles were resealed, given an "Inspected by Best Buy" sticker and adorned with magic marker indicating the date that the firmware update had been applied.
The story was originally posted on the Consumerist a few weeks ago, but we thought it was still worthwhile for those who hadn't seen it. What do you think—a value-added service for those without Internet or consumer gouging?

USDA Multicultural Scholars Program (USDA-MSP)
In 2010, USDA NIFA awarded PVM funds to establish a Multicultural Scholars Program (MSP). These funds provided partial scholarships to four DVM students. Students also received funds to participate in a Special Experiential Learning Experience (SEL).
The MSP Scholars also participate in specific programmatic pieces designed to enhance their student experience and provide support through graduation.
This is how students describe what being a USDA-MSP scholar has meant to them:
"Beinga USDA-MSP scholar has meant so much to my experience at Purdue. Not only was it a great way for me to immediately feel comfortable with other students in the program, it gave me the opportunity to find faculty that were willing to help me. This program has also encouraged me to get involved in other programs and lectures on campus that I may not have attended or even known about if I were not in the program."
Allison (Allie) Joe
"The USDA Scholar Program has helped me greatly with lowering the cost of attending veterinary school. It has also helped me develop great relationships with the faculty and staff in the veterinary school and become more professional and organized."
Jasmine Coe
"As a new USDA Scholar, I look forward to improving my leadership skills on an all-inclusive basis while learning to communicate more effectively with people of different cultures. Effective communication is vital in a leadership role and, more importantly, in life itself, and I very much desire to incorporate what I learn as a USDA Scholar into my dream career as a veterinarian. I am not sure where this profession will take me just yet, but I foresee a lifetime of satisfaction with the path I have chosen. This great opportunity will allow me to experience, not only diversity within the profession and among the people involved, but also to expand my horizons as an African-American veterinary student and role model."
Dana Thomas
"The USDA MSP scholar has helped me learn about how diversity plays a role in everything we do, especially our career and interpersonal relations. It has helped me interact better with other members of the Purdue Veterinary Medicine and discuss problems we share, and be more prepared in studying for my future career."

Senior caregiver awarded 2012 Angel of the YearVisiting Angels rewards Geraldine Lofland for exemplary service
Visiting Angels of Sussex has named Geraldine Lofland of Bridgeville its 2012 Angel of the Year for her consistent exemplary service as a caregiver.
The home care company provides services to help seniors and disabled adults remain independent and in their own homes for a better quality of life.
Lofland has worked both private duty and at senior care facilities for nearly a decade, and says she now enjoys the one-on-one attention she is able to provide to care recipients in the privacy of their own homes.
David Forman, president of Visiting Angels, said, "A year-ong customer satisfaction survey scored high marks for service and multiple comments of praise for Geraldine. She is often the first to respond to emergency requests to fill shifts, and her consistent compassion and hard work have made her one of our most requested caregivers."
Lofland is one of more than 70 Visiting Angels employees throughout Sussex County who assist with hygiene, light housekeeping including laundry and linens, preparing meals, running errands, and providing companionship in the home and on errands and appointments with their care recipients.
Visiting Angels rewards employees based on their customer care, and willingness to step in to meet the agency's needs, even when on short notice.
"We're blessed to count Geraldine among our very best employees," said Forman. "Our angels are the face and image of our company, and we only employ those who we would trust with our own families."

I didn't see another topic about this, so I thought I would ask. What is the process for retiring an aircraft? All I know is what happens on the surface (i.e flying it to the desert), but what happens after it gets there? Is it put up for sale for a certain period of time, then it gets scrapped, or is it up to the owner what happens to it?

The documentation for
-hash says it must not change while a mutable object is stored in a collection, and similarly the documentation for
-isEqual: says the
-hash value must be the same for equal objects.
Given this, does anybody have any suggestions for the best way to implement
-hash such that it meets both these conditions and yet is actually calculated intelligently (i.e. doesn't just return
0)? Does anybody know how the mutable versions of framework-provided classes do this?
The simplest thing to do is of course just forget the first condition (about it not changing) and just make sure I never accidentally mutate an object while it's in a collection, but I'm wondering if there's any solution that's more flexible.
EDIT: I'm wondering here whether it's possible to maintain the 2 contracts (where equal objects have equal hashes, and hashes don't change while the object is in a collection) when I'm mutating the internal state of the object. My inclination is to say "no", unless I do something stupid like always return 0 for the hash, but that's why I'm asking this question.

Hi I'm Cindy. I'm 50 yrs old and recently been trying to increase my exercise and improve my diet.
I am interested in taking up cycliing. I've not been on a bike in 30+ years, except for a 2 min ride on my daughter's bike 10 years ago!
I've always loved to ride, so I'm figuring that it will be an enjoyable form of exercise now.
I really need some advice on what to buy and where to buy it.
Money is very tight, I really shouldn't be spending ANY money on a bike, so the cheaper the better.
I figure initally I'll be riding in my neighborhood....then later going to one of the parks to ride the trails.
I'm fairly tall (5'8") and long legged, so I know I have to go to a bike shop to find out the best size bike for me. I'm figuring a 26". I've never ridden a bike with gears, so I'd also like some help with that!
What I'd like to do is get an inexpensive bike that I can get comfortable with, then upgrade in a year or so to something better (more expensive).
I have back trouble, and I can't have a bike where I'm hunched over too much. What I'd like is one that I can either sit fairly upright or hunch ovver. Right now I have a stationary bike and find that every 5 min or so I have to change or my back hurts. The way this is set up I can either hold the handlebar grips, meaning I'm sitting fairly upright, or grab the lower part of the handlebar itslef, and I'm hunched over some.
I live in Durham/Chapel Hill area of NC. Anyone from the area have any advice on where to go for a good, inexpensive bike? Right now my plans are to go to Walmart and get one there for around $100. With helmet, etc I think that's about all I can afford. Anyone have better oprions?
Also...is there anyway to tell in advance how comfy a seat will be long-term?

Overclockers Online has gotten hold of one of the new Swiftech MCX370 HSF. Is it as good as it's brother? here's a snip:
"First of all, I got to tell you that the bottom of this heatsink is just as smooth as Jennifer Lopez's ass! Nope, I'm not kidding here. Just as on all other Swiftech products we have in our testlab, the bottom of this MCX370 is polished to perfection. I mean, you can't see the difference between the bottom of this heatsink and a real mirror. This perfect ass sure proves that I was right when I said that Swiftech only produces high quality products."

Shooting Wraps on Bong Joon-ho's SNOW PIERCER
Principal photography has wrapped on Bong Joon-ho's upcoming sci-fi spectacle Snow Piercer. Baring a few budget issues when some Hollywood financiers jumped ship recently, the shoot seems to have gone very smoothly and it's wonderful to see this project, which has been in the works for seven years, finally becoming realized.
CJ has the international rights to this pic, which was budgeted at $39.2 million, making it the most expensive Korean production ever made, topping last year's $24.5 million for My Way. However, most of the cast is international and the dialogue will mainly be English, not to mention it was almost entirely shot in Prague. Lest we forget, CJ has also bankrolled a $100 million Korean War being helmed by Rob Cohen.
In any case Bong Joon-ho's film, which is also produced by Park Chan-wook and features such thesps as Song Kang-ho, John Hurt and Tildo Swinton in its cast, should be barreling to theaters next year once Bong completes post-production back in Korea. For my money's worth this is the most exciting film project on the horizon!

S. Darko Trailer And Website Online
By Rafe Telsch 2009-02-23 17:31:20
I guess the marketing machine for S. Darko has opened up. Last week we saw cover art for the direct-to-DVD sequel. This week the official website for the movie has gone live, with an official trailer to make you go - huh?
Watching the trailer, its almost like the creators of S. Darko didnt get Donnie Darko any more than the rest of us did. The difference is, the rest of us didnt try to follow it up with a second movie. It looks like its relying on the big moments of the first movie (the countdown until the end of the world, the wormy tube things leading us around, and, yes, a Bunny figure) but with a different story. What that story is, exactly, is impossible to tell from this short look, but if its Darko, its bound to be confusing.
To be honest, the trailer almost makes me want to see this, just to see if its going to wind up the disaster Im expecting it to be. Who knows, maybe theres potential in this after all, but I doubt it. Sometimes movies just shouldnt have sequels.
Watch the trailer below or watch it in higher-res over on the official S. Darko website.
Thanks to Filmstalker for pointing this one out to us. Yeah... thanks a lot.

My Best Birth
Hi everyone,
Last year I started working towards my birth doula certification through DONA. I have taken a childbirth education course, breastfeeding course, and doula course with a DONA instructor. I have also read the required books, but I need to re-read them because it's been awhile. Clearly the main requirement left is to attend 3 births as a doula. I also have to write the essay, the reso…

Nokia E7 Features and Review:
Nokia E7 is a Symbian 3 smartphone by Nokia. It was announced in September, 2010 and was released just around the MWC conference held in 2011. The mobile conference, which was held in Barcelona had gone pretty well, however, Nokia had been very tight lip regarding their mobiles.
We were expecting the Nokia N9 being announced under Meego operating system, but there was no news at all. However, later it was learned that Nokia had gone into a multimillion dollar deal with Microsoft and now will be releasing all their upcoming smartphones powered by WP7, an operating system designed and created for the sole purpose of mobile phones.
There might still be some future for Symbian 3 series mobiles and we might see Nokia X7 or N9 release under either Meego or Symbian 3. This is relatively high end smartphone and Rate of Nokia E7 Pakistan is not yet announced, but is expected to be around RS 50,000 PKR. Nokia E7 is supposed to be released in April in Pakistan. Even though mobile is bit pricy, but it is expected to have huge business.
This operating system has been performing pretty well, and the earlier Wp7 mobile, which was released not too long ago had been taken pretty well. Where the future seem bright for Nokia and Wp7, things do not look very promising for Symbian Series mobiles, there had been speculations that Nokia might be cut down on its jobs and make Symbian 30 and 40 series developers and engineers redundant. Following are the pictures and images of Nokia E7 and detailed specifications.

As for now, that's the price mentioned at Mobilephones.pk and if you have gotten access to this set, please feel free to publish your reviews and input on Nokia E7.

Many women experience bleeding during their pregnancy. Although a common
occurrence, it may mean that there is something happening that needs medical attention. Depending on the gestational age, or how far along the patient is, it may be a serious sign that evaluation needs to happen in the hospital.
If early in pregnancy, the first 13 weeks, bleeding may be a sign of a miscarriage. Prompt evaluation by a physician can put a mother's mind at ease that everything is fine. An exam coupled with a possible sonogram can help determine the location of the pregnancy, and if there is a heartbeat. If this has already been done, then simply listening to the heartbeat in the office can decrease anxiety in the mother.
As the pregnancy progresses, there may be more serious reasons for the bleeding. Placental causes need to be evaluated. Placental previa or a placenta covering the cervix can be diagnosed at the 18 week sonogram. This condition can lead to painless bleeding and pelvic rest is often prescribed. If a woman is diagnosed with a placenta previa she should always contact her physician if there is any bleeding.
Placenta abruption, or separation of the placenta from the uterine wall, can be a life threatening condition for both mother and baby depending on the amount of bleeding taking place. Risks for bleeding from a separation may include smoking, drug use or abdominal trauma like a fall or car accident. A physician will promptly evaluate the amount of bleeding and need for further tests and sonograms.
Overall bleeding is a common occurrence in pregnancy that usually ends with a healthy baby and healthy mom. Rarely it can be life threatening. In all cases a phone call to the physician is the best course of action to help determine the best way to evaluate and treat the patient.

While I like to talk about the day to day quirks of living in America, most curious Brits ask me about the practicalities of me getting here. I am not talking about the travel logistics, the airmiles and the time difference, but the nitty gritty of the process –how I got a visa, how I settled in to my new home, and how I make ends meet. Since moving here back in 2010, I have enjoyed countless Skype chats and email exchanges with strangers – second cousins of an old friend or, indeed, casual readers of this blog – who are keen to make a move stateside. I have been more than happy to offer my advice. But I thought I would finally share a few pearls of wisdom here.

Summer of the Mariposas
By Guadalupe Garcia McCall
Paperback: out of stock
Hardcover: $19.95
E-Book: $7.99Ebook Formats
When Odilia and her four sisters find a dead body in the swimming hole, they embark on a hero's journey to return the dead man to his family in Mexico. But returning home to Texas turns into an odyssey that would rival Homer's original tale.
With the supernatural aid of ghostly La Llorona via a magical earring, Odilia and her little sisters travel a road of tribulation to their long-lost grandmother's house. Along the way, they must outsmart a witch and her Evil Trinity: a wily warlock, a coven of vicious half-human barn owls, and a bloodthirsty livestock-hunting chupacabras. Can these fantastic trials prepare Odilia and her sisters for what happens when they face their final test, returning home to the real world, where goddesses and ghosts can no longer help them?
Summer of the Mariposas is not just a magical Mexican American retelling of The Odyssey, it is a celebration of sisterhood and maternal love.

This is make or break time for this year's draft prospects to make a strong impression on NBA scouts. With the tournament field dwindling from 16 to 4 teams over the weekend, the intensity and importance of player's performances ratcheted up a notch. Each game can swing a players draft stock significantly, as scouts want to see what a player is made of when all the chips are down.

How I use Google Docs & Spreadsheets
It struck me today that I'm a frequent user of Google Docs & Spreadsheets and I've encountered enough skepticism about the products that I thought I'd post on how this product has impacted my work and personal life.
If you're like me, you often find yourself emailing around Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. Yes, we have Sharepoint in the office which is supposed to keep us from doing this, but what about those circumstances when you have to share documents outside of the organization? So here are a few examples of how I've used Google Docs & Spreadsheets (note that for privacy and confidentiality reason, I'm not at liberty to share most of them):
- Summer camp planning. As any parent of school-aged kids can attest, coordinating summer camps with the parents of all of my kids' friends drives me into the ground every spring. I've always kept a spreadsheet to track all of the options, links, registrations, etc., but this year I went even more geek -- I published it on Google spreadsheets and sent the link around to all of the parents. While no other parents have done the same yet, several have accessed my sheet and asked about past camp experiences, and coordinated specific weeks of camp. It's definitely reduced the number of emails I have had to send around.
- Tracking spreadsheets for my manager. I'm frequently asked by my manager to provide an update on how much client work I've done each quarter. I used to keep this on a spreadsheet on my hard drive and then email her a copy whenever she needed it. No more -- I now update it online and she can access it whenever she needs to. The key advantage to me: I don't have to be logged into the corporate network to access the file, something that's a huge convenience to me when I'm on the road or working from home.
- Jam playlist. Forrester recently had an all-company offsite and one of the highlights is an after-hours music jam lead by one of our analysts, Merv Adrian (I play keyboards and miscellaneous percussion instruments). This year we decided to be more organized and create a playlist so that fellow musicians could suggest songs, learn lyrics, and practice beforehand. What started out as a flurry of emails with song suggestions dwindled to reminders to add suggestions/vote for song online.
- Prop list. My daughter participates in children's theater and I act as the prop mistress for the shows. I have to coordinate with a co-prop mistress, director, assistant director, set designer, costume designer, and producer. The worst is figuring out if anyone's found that pitchford for Scene 1. To keep track of what props are needed and who's gotten what, I've posted the prop list online. (So if anyone has an old lute that they can lend, let me know!)
- Bank of Mom. My husband and I encourage our kids to save by giving them a 10% interest rate -- monthly. Believe me, it's a huge incentive! I kept track of their savings in a spreadsheet, but was always getting asked how much money they had in their accounts at the most inconvenient times -- like at the store. Since it's a pretty straight forward spreadsheet, I can easily access it on my Blackberry.
These are just a few of the ways I've used Google Docs & Spreadsheets. And this is where the real opportunity is -- I created these originally online with the intention of sharing or accessing them online from the start.
So the big question is, how much of a threat is this to Microsoft and the new Office 2007 franchise? There are sharing features built into Office 2007, but they are still very much enterprise focused. And Google's products lack power -- I hate making tables in Google Docs and sorting in Google spreadsheets is poor. And don't even attempt to try making pivot tables! So Docs & Spreadsheets today is aimed at the consumer market with very basic document and spreadsheet needs.
But what about the long term? Google has historically made its mark by entering at the low end of the market and moving up -- and this will be no different. Enterprises won't throw out Office anytime soon, nor can I ever imagine giving up my Office tools either. But as I use Google Docs & Spreadsheets for more and more of my daily computing needs, I see it stealing away computing share from Microsoft.
And therein lies Google's strategy -- they don't want to replace Office today, they just want to be an alternative. And once they establish a beachhead, it will be a matter of time -- granted, years -- before they will have a product that can truly hold a candle to Office 2007. But that time will come and Microsoft had better get it's cross-collaborative game for Office in gear.


text: So, I'm riding this am, in daylight which is weird for me. Anyway, I'm riding along and after about 2 or 3 miles I think I'm hearing some strange sound, like a buzzing, or vibrating but not vibration. It doesn't appear that riding is a problem and, while riding, I try to locate the source. I touch various parts, the light, the frame, the odometer. I notice if I slow down, it sounds more like a whirring and below 9mph it disappears. Around 13 miles I touch the front brake side arms and the sound is gone. At 14 miles I stop to figure out what the heck is making the noise. After dismounting and looking at the brake area, I chuckle out loud. I find a brown, dried up leaf and stem caught in the brake arm with the leaf rubbing the wheel. After pulling the leaf out I continue my ride--28 more miles and no noise.

the fact that Nico was only 1/10th of a second faster even tho hes been in that car for 2+ years doesnt really impress me Rich. If anything Lewis is having to learn a lot about how to make that car work with less downforce, while Nico has had many many many more laps and hours in much similar conditions.
Nico is a great brawler, and he might finish in front of Lewis a few times this year, but I doubt he will out qualify Lewis over the whole year, but I bet Nico is faster than Jenson.
