Calibre library doesn't sync Sony e-reader

Calibre library doesn't sync Sony e-reader
Hello Guys,
I have recently started with Calibre, and I think that it is a wonderful software. However, I cannot understand correctly its behaviour. I have read documentation and several forum posts, trying some tricks, without success.
Some days ago I have created a Calibre library, modified metadata of my books, and sent them to my e-book. Until then, everything worked ok. However, now I have the following problem: When I plug the e-book to usb and start calibre (in this order, but if I do it otherwise the result is the same), list of books in device is empty. I read that it may be result of a database corrupt. So, I redid database in Calibre library, and I deleted Calibre files in device (it created them when connected), but that didnt solve the problem. I even did a reset of e-book, but no way.
Wasting lots of hours in front of the computer, I have found the following work around: I create a new library and activate it (keeping it empty). I restart Calibre (with e-book plugged in or not, it doesnt matter if I plug it later), and now book list in device is ok! So, I change to old library (where books really are), but column in device is blank. That is, Calibre doesnt sync books in library and in device, and it can only detect books in device if library is empty. If I restart Calibre with old library, it leads again to an empty list of books in device.
Anyone can explain this behaviour or give me some help to understand what is going on?
Thanks a lot!
P.S: e-book: Sony PRS-T2; OS: Suse linux 12.1; Calibre version: 0.9.16.

AN OFFICE in Basingstoke town centre could be transformed into 10 new homes.
Applecourt Limited, which has bought Edison House, in Winchester Road from Scottish and Southern Energy, has applied to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council for permission to demolish the current building, and to build 10 new homes on the land.
The developer has proposed a mix of three, two-bedroom flats, one one-bedroom house and six three-bedroom homes.
The application says: "Overall, the proposed scheme amounts to a sustainable development for which there is a positive presumption in favour of granting planning permission.
"The development would help to increase the supply of housing in the borough and reduce the existing 'serious and significant' shortfall and would not result in demonstrable harm."
The application is set to be decided by October 6.

Sri Lanka skittled Zimbabwe for a world-record low of 35 before clinching the series with a nine-wicket victory in the third one-day international on Sunday.
Zimbabwe, who had selected a highly inexperienced squad for the five-match series after 15 capped players made themselves unavailable as part of a selection-process battle with their board, were dismissed in 18 overs after losing the toss.
Sri Lanka, who won the first two one-day internationals in Bulawayo, replied with 1-40 in 9.2 overs.
Zimbabwe's total eclipsed the previous low of 36, Canada's innings score against Sri Lanka at Paarl during last year's World Cup in South Africa. No Zimbabwe batsman reached double figures at Harare Sports Club, Dion Ebrahim top-scoring with seven. There were four ducks.
Left-arm fast bowler Chaminda Vaas took 4-12 in nine overs, becoming the second Sri Lankan to take 300 one-day wickets after Muttiah Muralitharan.
Vaas obtained swing and movement off the seam and was virtually unplayable on a lively pitch of inconsistent bounce.
Medium pacer Dilhara Fernando shared the new ball with Vaas and also dominated the batsmen on his way to 2-18 in six overs.
Paceman Mohamed Maharoof bowled the other three overs, taking 3-3 on debut.
Although Zimbabwe were outclassed by quality bowling on a difficult pitch, they contributed to their own downfall with a reckless batting approach. The last nine wickets crashed for just 17 runs.
Zimbabwe's innings began to disintegrate in the eighth over, when Ebrahim drove loosely at a ball from Fernando and was caught behind by wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara.
Seven balls later, Zimbabwe had plummeted to 5-19, losing four wickets for just one run. Among them was captain Tatenda Taibu, who held his team's innings together in the first two matches of the series with top scores of 96 not out and 35.
On Sunday, Taibu was dismissed first ball, leg before to an inswinger from Fernando that straightened after pitching and struck him on the back pad.
Taibu was Fernando's second victim in as many balls, but Elton Chigumbura survived the hat-trick ball before being bowled by Vaas for a duck in the ninth over.
Zimbabwe's unluckiest batsman was opener Brendan Taylor, caught off the back of his bat by Tillakaratne Dilshan at short leg for four after a short delivery from Vaas had struck him on the shoulder.

A technique in which a radioactive substance is introduced into the body to assess structure and function of tissues
The technique of radionuclide scanning produces images using radiation emitted from a substance within the body. The radioactive substance, called a radionuclide, is introduced into the body and taken up by the organ or tissue to be imaged. A counter positioned outside the body detects the radiation that is emitted by the radionuclide and transmits this information to a computer. The computer then converts the information into images. Radionuclide scanning is used both to image the structure of many internal organs and to provide a measure of their function. SPECT scanning and PET scanning are two specialized forms of radionuclide scanning.
How does it work?
Radionuclides are normally introduced into the body by a single intravenous injection and are then carried in the bloodstream to the tissues (see Having a radionuclide scan). Xenon gas, one particular type of radionuclide used during a lung scan, is inhaled (see Radionuclide lung scanning).
Different tissues take up different radionuclides. A specific radionuclide is chosen because it will accumulate in the particular tissues to be investigated. For example, iodine is taken up by the thyroid gland, and radioactive iodine is therefore injected intravenously to produce a radionuclide scan of the gland.
A radionuclide emits radiation in the form of gamma rays, which are similar to X-rays. The gamma rays are detected outside the body by a device called a gamma camera. Within the camera are detectors that pick up the radiation and convert information about its quantity and location into a form that can be analysed by a computer. The computer then builds up an image and displays it on a monitor. The image is built up dot by dot, with each dot representing a certain amount of radiation.
Radionuclide scans show parts of the body as areas of colour of varying intensity. Areas of intense colour are called "hot spots"; these are areas where there is a high uptake of radionuclide. Areas of less intense colour, called "cold spots", are areas where the radionuclide uptake is low. The greater the amount of tissue activity, the greater the uptake.
What is it used for?
An important feature of radionuclide scanning is that it can produce a "map" of an organ based on the activity of its tissues, therefore providing information about how that organ or tissue is functioning. This imaging technique may be used to detect abnormal levels of activity in organs such as the thyroid gland and kidneys, and it is useful for detecting some tumours of these organs. A radionuclide scan of bone will indicate areas that have increased activity, which might be due to problems such as Paget's disease of the bone or cancer. Changes in the function of a tissue or an organ often develop before structural changes occur, and radionuclide scanning can detect some diseases at a significantly earlier stage than most other imaging techniques. For example, a radionuclide scan of bone can detect infection of bone tissue (see Osteomyelitis) weeks before it would become apparent on an ordinary X-ray.
Radionuclide scans are particularly useful for assessing how well a treatment has worked. Scans may be done before and after a particular treatment to compare the function of an organ.
Two particular types of radionuclide scanning may be used to look at the function of the heart. Thallium scanning reveals areas of the heart muscle with a poor blood supply and is used to look at the activity of the heart muscle during exercise (see Exercise testing). MUGA (multiple-gated acquisition scanning) is a technique in which the blood flow into and out of the heart is measured to assess how efficiently the heart pumps blood around the body.
What are the risks?
Radionuclide scanning has no immediate risks, but radiation-based imaging may damage the body cells, leading to an increased risk of cancer in later life. However, radionuclides are always administered in very small amounts, and they break down quickly in the body.

JORDAN Rhodes is expected to be named in the official Blackburn Rovers squad list for today's Championship clash at home to Bournemouth (3pm) despite the fact that Hull City remain locked in talks with the Ewood Park outfit for his signature.
But it is unclear whether the £12m-rated Rovers striker will play any part in what would be his 100th appearance for the club following his club record £8m move from Huddersfield Town in August 2012.
What is clear is that Hull still want to make Rhodes their club record signing after having an initial £8m bid rejected on Thursday.
As the Lancashire Telegraph was going to press Rovers had not accepted an offer from the Premier League side – with owners Venky's having the ultimate say.
But board-level negotiations were ongoing between the Tigers – whose current club record signing is £8m midfielder Jake Livermore – and their Ewood counterparts.
Managing director Derek Shaw has been leading the negotiations for Rovers.
However the final decision on whether Rhodes, who has scored 53 goals for the club, stays or goes will be made by Venky's.
Gary Bowyer admitted on Thursday that the situation is 'out of his hands'.
But the Rovers boss wants a resolution as soon as possible as he seeks to strengthen his squad before the transfer window slams shut on Monday week.
Hull are willing to throw in one of their players to help push through a deal to take Rhodes to the KC Stadium.
One of those players is definitely defender Alex Bruce – who is the son of Tigers boss Steve Bruce.
The 29-year-old, who can play at centre back, right back and in front of the defence, was on the books of Rovers as youngster.
But he left the club in January 2005 without making a first-team appearance.
Rovers do not want to sell Rhodes, who has scored 53 goals in 99 games for the club, and they hoped to fend off potential suitors by handing the 24-year-old a lucrative new and improved five-year contract last month.
But that has not stopped Hull, whose assistant manager and former Rovers midfielder Steve Agnew is Rhodes' uncle, from becoming the first club to table a formal bid for the Scotland international.
Jason Lowe has made it clear that the players do not want Rhodes to leave.
The Rovers right back said: "Obviously there's always going to be interest in Jordan because of the amount of goals he's scored for us over the last couple of seasons.
"His level of performances have been second to none, he's a great lad and hopefully we can do everything we can to keep hold of him as he's a vital member for us.
"We'll see what happens but hopefully we'll keep hold of him."
Tigers manager Steve Bruce said this morning: "It's something which we're trying to progress if that's possible.
"There has been a bid lodged and while I believe the first one was refused, I believe the two clubs are still talking."

JAY DAVIS: Bolduans had most successful decade in Tiger history
As you saw on page one of the sports, it's "in with the new" for the Lady Tiger volleyball program.
While welcoming new head coach Rose Henderson and assistant coach Kara Piatt and wishing them piles of success, they cannot takeover without a fond farewell to the Bolduans for their 10 years of running the most successful sports program of Mobridge and Mobridge-Pollock teams during their decade.
Mobridge-Pollock athletics director Joe Lenz said, "The Mobridge-Pollock School District appreciates everything the Bolduans have done to build a solid and successful volleyball program over the last 10-plus years. They have been positive role models to many young ladies and racked up a lot of wins on the court in the process. I believe a very strong foundation has been laid and I look forward to many more successful seasons behind the leadership of Coach Henderson and Coach Piatt. I certainly believe that these two coaches have the background and knowledge to lead the Lady Tigers far into the postseason this coming year."
You know I love my sports history so here is a synopsis of head coach Keri and assistant coach Rick and their 10 years of leading the Lady Tigers.
The Bolduans took the reins in 2004 and promptly went 22-13, won their first district and region titles and finished eighth at the state tournament.
The 2005 teams went 29-3 and finished sixth in state.
The 2006 and 2007 teams were the only teams that did not win in the postseason. The teams struggled but managed to stay competitive, going 11-15 in '06 and 15-13 in '07.
In 2008, the Lady Tigers went 20-9 and won the district title, but lost to Miller in the region championship.
That would not happen for a while. From 2009 through 2012, the Lady Tigers went to four straight state tournaments. The '09 team went 24-9, upset Sioux Falls Christian in the opening round and finished fourth in state. The girls went 25-7 and took seventh in state in '10.
The 2011 Lady Tigers were the apex of the Bolduans' tenure. The team matched the '05 team with a 29-3 record, but outdid that team at state. After beating Miller in the region finals for the second straight year, the Lady Tigers beat Elk Point-Jefferson in the first round and then battled for a 3-2 win over Aberdeen Roncalli to finish in third place at the 2011 State A Volleyball Tournament.
The '12 team came back to beat Miller in the region championship game, go 24-8 and finish sixth in state.
Last year was Millers' turn to turn the table. The Rustlers ended the Lady Tigers' season at 18-10 in the second round of the Region 6A tournament.
The Mobridge/Mobridge-Pollock Tournament gave Lady Tigers fans their first chance to see the girls in extensive action early in each season. Bolduan's teams always put on a good show for the home crowd. In 10 tourneys, the Lady Tigers won five titles and had an overall record of 35-7. You like seeing your girls win on their home court? Under the Bolduans, the Lady Tigers went 104-26 at Scherr-Howe Arena and Mobridge-Pollock High School Gymnasium. That's an 80 percent win ratio.
How about 217 wins, seven district championships, six region titles and six trips to the state tournament? No Tiger team in any sport has had a decade like that.
The Bolduans will be missed, but they will not be forgotten. Thanks Keri and Rick, you had one hell of a run.

Yes, in particularly thin individuals, especially with subglandular placement ("over the muscle). However, it is best that you seek medical advice.

Can anyone recomend any dump valves for s3's
and what is a diverter valve?
Dump valves release excess air to the atmosphere, diverter valves send the excess air back into the intake system.
For an S3 you need a diverter valve. You can't go wrong with something like the Forge 007P.
Is there a reson you can't use a dump valve? I know that with some cars the ECU needs to see the return pressure signal other wise you get lights flashing. and things not running properly
As Chris says, 007 is perfect! The worlds best selling replacement DV!
ok thanks for the advice will get the 007p ordered :icon_thumright:
Your car has a plastic Bosch diverter valve anyway. If it ain't broke there isn't any reason to buy a new one, and a new one is only £22.
The 007p is simply a more robust version of the standard valve, no performance advantage unless you are running silly boost - which you can't on a K04 turbo.
is there any way to tell if the standard dv is workin properly
has anyone actually tried these forge dump valves which make a noise + still recirculate? still interested in one?!
have a search on seatcupra.net. quite a few guys running them on 1.8T's there.
Stick a pen up the bottom pipe on the DV and push the piston up, it should take quite a bit of pressure to push it up. When its at the top hold it there and put your finger over the small nipple at the top of the DV. Take your pen out of the bottom and the piston should stay where it is, take your finger off the nipple and it should drop down with a little click.
I have a Hyperboost DV for sale just serviced, if you are interested drop me a PM
the new forge ones have only been out a couple of weeks, same as 007 but makes the 'whooosh' noise, if thats what floats your boat.....
New ones? I just ordered a 007 - whats the new one?
This little tinker below...
are these any good?
If your wanting the dump valve noise then they're perfect! Havn't really sold many but i think that's down to the price and the success of the 007P!
meant to be exactly the same as the 007p but just gives the sound of an atmospheric dump valve without ******* up your engine management
might have to sign me sen one of those bad boys!
Any deals going on them at the moment DPM?
umm! might have to get one! very tempted! are they really loud?
Apparantly not.
An 007p and a Ramair Filter gives a louder 'dump'.
oh ok, where can i get / look at a 007p? thanks
Which one you after Booth?
ive read about the 007p compared to the forge one, does the 007p make a bigger dump sound than the forge as it's not designed to as the forge is? but as you said
Apparantly not.
An 007p and a Ramair Filter gives a louder 'dump'.
i want one that i can hear out side which is best to go for, i already have a uprated one which amd out on but not sure what that is?!
Got a splitter forge one on my S3, Once you set it up (twists on top with finger for your boost) then it is fine, Get a small dump and the car runs great. You are not getting a huge dump but the harder you go the better the dump - suits me
oh rite so you can adjust how much it dumps out? so if you turned it so it chucks out loads of boost would the car not run well?
You can only set it up to the boost level that you are running the noise is not affected. I think its about 15% dump and 85% retain so you get a sound. As I said it suits me about the noise
ok sounds good! gonna have to get one! one last question i can hear mine as it is would you say its louder than a standard on tho?! thanks
i know its not S3 specific at all, but as tall paul says, cold air induction kits really seem to amplify the sound!
my car is currently TOTALLY standard other than a cold air induction kit, and running the standard 7psi, the recirc sound when i back off is really quite loud, the turbo spool up noise is also far more audible with the induction kit in place!
a friend of mine has a mk4 golf gti turbo, running an mbc (perish the thought!) with the boost set to 15psi, and the recirc sound when he backs off is really very loud, not like the low toned flutter of mine, but really a really high pitched release.
personally, i MUCH prefer the sound you get from the diverter valve than any dump valves. every other chavvy turbo car out there runs an atmospheric dump valve, and everyone knows what it is.
when i pull up in mine, and the diverter valve gives off its little flutter, people seem really shocked and interested to know what it is. and its a far nicer sound to hear than a big TSCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
having my car Revo'd and a forge 007 fitted next month cant wait to hear it then!
The 007 valves are completely different to the new Split R valves in both the design and the function
The Split R is designed to recirculate aroundf 50 60 % of the air into the system to help keep the ECU happy and allow for zero running issues .
The rest of the air is vented to atmosphere .
The sound or loudness will vary car to car and is dependant on what mods you have and what boost you are running .. The Split R is not as loud as you traditional dump valves as fitted to Subaru , Evo , or Coswoth , due to the design criteria . It is slightly louder than the 00&p with cai but again id depends on Boost , driving style etc .
We have many happy customers with this valve over on www.seatcupra.net

What Is Alcoholism?
Alcoholism is also known as alcohol dependence and alcohol use disorder. It occurs when you drink so much that your body eventually becomes dependent on or addicted to alcohol. When this happens, alcohol becomes the most important thing in your life.
People with alcohol dependence will continue to drink even when drinking causes negative consequences, like losing a job. They may know that their alcohol use negatively affects their lives, but it's often not enough to make them stop drinking.
Some people may drink alcohol to the point that it causes problems, but they're not physically dependent on alcohol. This is sometimes referred to as alcohol abuse.
What Causes Alcoholism?
The cause of alcoholism is still unknown. Alcohol dependency develops when you drink so much that chemical changes in the brain occur. These changes increase the pleasurable feelings you get when you drink alcohol, which makes you want to drink more often, even if it causes harm. Eventually, just like other drugs of abuse, the pleasurable feelings associated with alcohol use go away and person with alcohol dependency will engage in drinking to prevent withdrawal symptoms, which can be quite unpleasant and even dangerous. Alcoholism typically develops gradually over time, and it's also known to run in families.
Risk Factors
What Are the Risk Factors for Alcoholism?
Although the exact cause of alcoholism is unknown, there are certain factors that may increase your risk for developing this disease.
Known risk factors for alcoholism include having:
- more than 15 drinks per week if you're male
- more than 12 drinks per week if you're female
- more than five drinks per day at least once a week (binge drinking)
- a parent with alcoholism
- a mental health problem, such as depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia
You may also be at a greater risk for alcoholism if you:
- are a young adult experiencing peer pressure
- have low self-esteem
- experience a high level of stress
- live in a family or culture where alcohol use is common and accepted
- have a close relative with alcohol use disorder
What Are the Symptoms of Alcoholism?
Symptoms of alcoholism are based on the behaviors and physical outcomes that occur as a result of alcohol addiction.
People with alcohol use disorder may engage in the following behaviors:
- drinking alone
- drinking more to feel the effects of alcohol (having a high tolerance)
- becoming violent or angry when asked about their drinking habits
- not eating or eating poorly
- neglecting personal hygiene
- missing work or school because of drinking
- being unable to control alcohol intake
- making excuses to drink
- continuing to drink even when legal, social, or economic problems develop
- giving up important social, occupational, or recreational activities because of alcohol use
People with alcoholism may also experience the following physical symptoms:
- alcohol cravings
- withdrawal symptoms when not drinking, including shaking, nausea, and vomiting
- tremors (involuntary shaking) the morning after drinking
- lapses in memory (blacking out) after a night of drinking
- illnesses, such as alcoholic ketoacidosis (includes dehydration-type symptoms) or cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver
Definition of Alcoholism and of Being an Alcoholic
Self-Testing: Am I an Alcoholic?
Sometimes it can be hard to draw the line between safe alcohol use and alcohol abuse or dependence. The Mayo Clinic suggests that you may have a problem with alcohol if you answer "yes" to some of the following questions:
- Do you need to drink more in order to feel the effects of alcohol?
- Do you feel guilty about drinking?
- Do you become irritable or violent when you're drinking?
- Do you have problems at school or work because of drinking?
- Do you think it might be better if you cut back on your drinking?
The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and the Partnership at Drugfree.org offer more comprehensive self-tests. These tests can help you assess whether you have a problem with alcohol.
Professional Diagnosis
Your doctor or healthcare provider can diagnose alcoholism. They will do a physical exam and ask you questions about your drinking habits.
Your doctor may ask if you:
- drive when you're drunk
- have missed work or have lost a job as a result of your drinking
- need more alcohol to feel "drunk" when you drink
- have experienced blackouts as a result of your drinking
- have tried to cut back on your drinking but could not
Your doctor may also use a questionnaire that assesses alcoholism to diagnose your condition.
Typically, a diagnosis of alcoholism does not require any other type of diagnostic test. There is a chance your doctor may order blood work to check your liver function if you show signs or symptoms of liver disease. Alcohol abuse can cause serious and lasting damage to your liver. Your liver is responsible for removing toxins from your blood. When you drink too much, your liver has a harder time filtering the alcohol and other toxins from your bloodstream. This can lead to liver disease and other complications.
How Is Alcoholism Treated?
Treatment for alcoholism varies, but each method is meant to help you stop drinking altogether (abstinence). Treatment may occur in stages and can include the following:
- detoxification or withdrawal to rid your body of alcohol
- rehabilitation to learn new coping skills and behaviors
- counseling to address emotional problems that may cause you to drink
- support groups, including 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)
- medical treatment for health problems associated with alcoholism
- medications to help control addiction
There are a couple of different medications that may help with alcohol addiction:
- Naltrexone (ReVia, Vivitrol) is used only after someone has detoxed from alcohol. This type of drug works by blocking certain receptors in the brain that are associated with the alcoholic "high." This type of drug, in combination with counseling, may help decrease an individual's craving for alcohol.
- Acamprosate (Campral) is a medication that can help re-establish the brain's original chemical state before alcohol dependence. This drug should also be combined with therapy.
- Disulfiram (Antabuse) is a drug that causes physical discomfort (such as nausea, vomiting, and headaches) any time the individual consumes alcohol.
You may need to seek treatment at an inpatient facility if your addiction to alcohol is severe. These facilities will provide you with 24-hour care as you withdraw from alcohol and recover from your addiction. Once you're well enough to leave, you'll need to continue to receive treatment on an outpatient basis.
What Is the Outlook for a Person with Alcoholism?
Recovering from alcoholism is difficult. Your prognosis will depend on your ability to stop drinking. Many people who seek treatment for alcoholism are able to overcome addiction. A strong support system is helpful for making a complete recovery.
Your outlook will also depend on the health complications that have developed as a result of your drinking. Alcoholism can severely damage your liver. It can also lead to other health complications, including:
- bleeding in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract
- damage to brain cells
- cancer in the GI tract
- dementia (memory loss)
- depression
- high blood pressure
- inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)
- nerve damage
- changes in mental status, including Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (a brain disease that causes symptoms such as confusion, vision changes, or memory loss)
How Can You Prevent Alcoholism?
You can prevent alcoholism by limiting your alcohol intake. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, women should not drink more than one drink per day, and men should not drink more than two drinks per day. See your doctor if you begin to engage in behaviors that are signs of alcoholism or if you think that you may have a problem with alcohol. You should also consider attending a local AA meeting or participating in a self-help program such as Women for Sobriety.

James Barnes, Eric Ewazen, New York Woodwind Quintet,
Bernhard Heiden and introducing: Nathan Jones.
Just Click on a cover or title below!
Nathan Jones – Mill City Sketches
This exciting tone poem was inspired by American entrepreneurs of the Industrial Revolution, portraying the dynamic early flour industry in Minneapolis and the dramatic historical events surrounding explosion of the Washburn A Mill. This rhapsodic work features soaring melodic lines, driving rhythms, and interesting parts for each instrument. The scoring is pleasantly open and transparent while maintaining plentiful doublings to ensure balance and secure playing across sections of the band. (Grade 3) Dur: 5:00 Order through Hal Leonard.
Eric Ewazen – Tattoo
Tattoo is the stirring finale of Legacy, commissioned for the bicentennial celebration of West Point. The opening theme "Tattoo" is based on the bugle call which signals a return to quarters at day's end. The score includes antiphonal effects with optional offstage bugles and field drum, creating an authentic "military" sound. The old West Point song "Benny Havens" leads into the reemerging "Tattoo" theme, now answered by other bugle calls, bringing the work to a rousing conclusion. (Grade 4) Dur: 6:00 Order through Hal Leonard.
Bernhard Heiden – Diversion
for Alto Saxophone and Band
Edited by R. Mark Rogers
Composed while Bernhard Heiden served as Assistant Bandmaster for the 445th US Army band during World War II, this first-ever print edition has been carefully edited and adapted with modern instrumentation. The influence of the composer's mentor, Paul Hindemith is evident in the tonal yet nondiatonic harmonies, paired with Heiden's own light and tuneful melodic writing. (Grade 4) Dur: 7:00 Order through Hal Leonard.
Eric Ewazen – A Hymn for the Lost and the Living
Arranged for Trombone Choir by Chris Sharpe
This gorgeous setting is dedicated to Vern and Jan Kagarice and was premiered by University of North Texas Trombone Choir. The work portrays the days in the aftermath of September 11, 2001 of supreme sadness and surprising resilience as the country mourned a great loss while coming together for help, comfort, and strength. (Grade 5) Dur: 9:00 Order through Hal Leonard.
James Barnes – Symphonic Requiem
(Seventh symphony)
Commissioned for the United States Army Band to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the American Civil War, the work combines two massive structures into one: a requiem and a symphony. It portrays the heartbreak of three of the most dramatic battles of the war, concluded by an apotheosis, a hymn of respect and praise for the 668,000 soldiers, Confederate and Federal alike, who gave their lives during this monumental conflict. (Grade 5) Dur: 28:00 Order through Hal Leonard.

The New York Woodwind Quintet (NYWQ), considered by many as the greatest woodwind quintet in the world, is now entering its seventh decade of performing and is responsible for premiering and commissioning over 20 new works by such composers as Barber, Schuller, Laderman and many more. They are in residence at The Juilliard School and each player is renowned as concert and international performers in their own right.
Over their history they have transcribed many classic masterpieces from other genres for woodwind quintet. Southern Music is proud to present the NYWQ Library Series which makes this repertoire available for the first time. We are delighted to make their enormous contribution to the woodwind quintet literature available for schools, colleges, universities and independent quintets.
James Barnes – Symphonic Requiem

While I had said last week that my intention for this week was to return back to chronology of Zelda clones in roughly the order in which they were released, I was preparing for the next episode of a similar series (albeit a video one) on Zelda clones on my YouTube channel… and that episode was on the topic of The Legend of Spyro trilogy… so I decided to kill two Keese with one arrow and just use that research for this feature. Sorry!
And I know what you're thinking: "Spyro the Dragon, really?!" Yes, really. For those who have only played the Spyro the Dragon trilogy, you might think Spyro has more in common with Mario than with Link, and in that you would be right. But The Legend of Spyro trilogy is a very different beast, and this beast looks a heck of a lot like Zelda.
Jump inside to see why I feel this trilogy is borrowing a thing or two from the Legend of Zelda!
First of all: a bit of history. The Legend of Spyro trilogy is actually a reboot of an earlier series of games which have about as much in common as Mario does with Zelda. The Spyro the Dragon trilogy is all about platforming and collecting hundreds of gems scattered everywhere across the landscape with cartoon-y graphics and humorous villains; the stories in these games are ancillary and silly and really the focus of this earlier trilogy was just on exploring and collecting gems.
The combat was extremely simple: either head bash into an enemy (akin to Mario's jumping on an enemy) or breathing fire on those enemies impervious to the head bash (akin to Mario's fire power); in either case, it's a one-shot-and-done deal for the most part. The Legend of Spyro trilogy, on the other hand, is a completely different genre of game. The focus on combat is much greater, and instead of headbutting, most enemies will require some fancy slashing with your front claws; this amounts to about the same as several sword slashes. Sure, you can still breathe fire, but that's now more of an extra power rather than a requirement, similar to how in Zelda games you could use a Fire Rod or Din's Fire or some such: it is an extra powerful attack that your "magic meter" limits your use of, but more on those in a bit. The point is the Legend of Spyro trilogy has very little in common with the original Spyro the Dragon trilogy.
Let's take a look at the actual title of this trilogy: The Legend of Spyro. I feel it is fairly intentional that the developers chose to include the same wording as that from the series title for The Legend of Zelda. I think they were looking at Zelda as their blueprint in how to bring Spyro to a different genre. Rather than the mindless gem-collecting and silly enemies and goofy story, I think they looked to Zelda to show them how to make something still kid-friendly but also a little darker and a little more serious. They used Zelda to show them the path on changing the combat, but then they even went a step further an sort of winked at the gamers by adding "The Legend of" in the beginning to tell us: this is Spyro in the style of Zelda.
The combat. Yes, I know it might be difficult to imagine, but pressing the button and having Spyro swipe at an enemy really does feel fairly similar to Link slashing an enemy with his sword. Okami showed us before that replacing Link with a quadruped really didn't change the feel of the movement and attacks much. They really could remove Spyro's model from the game and replace it with Link's and it would amount to the same thing as far as combat goes. Some enemies take five or so claw swipes just like some Zelda enemies take five or so sword slices. It's the same thing really. And where in Zelda there are certain bosses who can only be hurt by certain pieces of equipment which can be found in either that dungeon or just before that dungeon, so it is as well in Spyro. Sort of. Instead of different pieces of equipment, you learn different types of elemental breaths, each one having a different status effect on an enemy and each one also used to solve various puzzles.
Which brings us to puzzles. Yes, there are switches which when pressed open doors in dungeons. There are also switches which require blocks to be pushed up onto them to hold that door open. Remind you of any game series which, if I'm remembering correctly, pioneered this type of puzzle. There are also puzzles which require several torches to be lit to unlock a door or way forward. The developers couldn't have been much more obvious if they had included the same "you solved the puzzle" chime heard in Zelda.
But now let's talk about some differences: Spyro can glide. Imagine always having the Deku Leaf from The Wind Waker right from the beginning of the game and that it's always mapped to the same button: it is about the same mechanic. Spyro cannot actually fly until the final game of the trilogy (sorry, spoiled) but even then it's just sort of like always riding your Loftwing from Skyward Sword and being able land on the ground and run around on it and take back to the sky when you feel like. Again, this doesn't occur until the final game in the trilogy.
Which is another major difference: The Legend of Spyro is structured in the form of a trilogy with each of the first two games sort of leaving off on cliffhangers immediately picked up and resolved in the following game. The story is about as unencumbered by complexity as a Zelda story: it's pretty straightforward "there a bad guy, let's go beat him and save various races of creatures along the way" fare, but there are some fascinating twists along the way which I won't ruin for you. Really, though, the three games are rather short clocking in at only about six hours each. Combined together they form into about one Zelda-sized game.
Another major difference is the voice acting and music. The music is 100% orchestral, and sounds very much like something you'd hear in a film score (the main theme, is absolutely beautiful in its simplicity). The voice acting is usually top-notch with actors such as Elijah Wood (Frodo in The Lord of the Rings) voicing Spyro, David Spade and Billy West and Wayne Brady each taking a turn at Sparx, Christina Ricci, Mark Hamill, Gary Oldman, Blair Underwood… the trilogy is bursting with fine voice actors and it shows. In fact, the voice actor for the wise older dragon who mentors Spyro sounds an awfully lot like Gandalf next to Elijah Wood's Spyro… if anything it gives the story all that more weight and importance.
So while there are many, many surprising similarities to the 3D style of Zelda, there are enough differences to not only make it not a ripoff, but to show that maybe Zelda could learn a thing or two about voice acting. Maybe.

Jane Austin purists put their tea cups down with a clunk this week when the Bank of England displayed a mockup of the planned 10 pound note that will honor the author. It's the quotation from Pride and Prejudice on the bill that's left them aghast: "I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!"
The Guardian calls it a blunder. … "The trouble is that these words are spoken by one of Austen's most deceitful characters, a woman who has no interest in books at all," the paper says. "A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of" — from Mansfield Park — would be more appropriate, the paper reports.
Time magazine calls the Pride and Prejudice quotation a "false note" on an otherwise grand idea. And it got writer Lev Grossman to thinking: Wouldn't it be great to honor American authors on U.S. currency. Some of Time's suggestions:
Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Money often costs too much."
F. Scott Fitzgerald: "Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me." (Or the less obvious, but to me more profound: "The victor belongs to the spoils.")
Edith Wharton: "The only way not to think about money is to have a great deal of it."
But I'd rather see funny money. Some of my suggestions:
Johnny Carson: "The only thing money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money."
Will Rogers: "A fool and his money are soon elected."
Bob Hope: "A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it."
George Carlin: "Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit."

It only took a pair of protestors to knock Jean Charest's planned photo-op off course this morning.
The Quebec Liberal Leader's staff had convened journalists to a photo session with his Quebec City MNAs on a street corner just behind the National Assembly. But two demonstrators – a woman and a teenage boy unfurled a large red square, the symbol of Quebec's student protests. "Mr. Charest," the woman called loudly. "Yoo hoo, Mr. Charest."
Mr. Charest, walking towards the cameras, but spotting the pair, said a brisk "Bonjour, Madame" but veered away towards the entrance of the Capital Observatory, where he was to hold his press conference. The pair followed, calling out his name from about 20 yards behind. Mr. Charest's team arranged pictures at the top of the 31-story observatory, with the Liberal leader and local MPs peeking out at the view.Report Typo/Error

CHICAGO -- One of these seasons Chicago Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro figures to finally get that spot in the batting order that he can call his own, although it might not be for a while.
The versatile Castro has been used most often in the No. 2, 3 and 5 spots this season, with much of his recent success coming in the No. 5 hole.
His .291 batting average as a No. 5 hitter is his highest of any spot he has batted for more than two games this season. He is a .267 hitter in 53 games as two-hole hitter and is batting .287 in 55 games in the three spot.
More significantly, he drives in a run every 7.1 at-bats in the fifth spot as opposed to every 7.9 as a No. 3 hitter and every 9.5 in the No. 2 spot. Obviously that is a function of having the better Cubs hitters on base when he hits in the No. 5 spot, but it also shows that he has been taking advantage of opportunities.
So do the Cubs think Castro can handle the No. 5 spot when the 2013 season begins?
"If he hits with men in scoring position like he has in the fifth spot it's something to think about, but we obviously don't know what our personnel will look like on opening day next year," manager Dale Sveum said. "That's a long way away to think about lineups now."
Perhaps that's Sveum's way of saying that he would like a traditional run producer with power in the five spot next season, which would make him free to utilize Castro's talents elsewhere. But where would that be?
Despite leading the league with 207 hits last season, Castro still doesn't identify completely with any of the top spots in the order. His lack of patience at the plate hurts him in the first two spots and he lacks the power that would be suitable at three, four and five.
But while also emerging from the No. 5 spot in the second half, Castro is seeing more pitches. It seems that his success in the five hole is showing that next season he will likely get another shot in the No. 2 spot, a place that better suits his talents.
"He's the kind of hitter that really his approach won't change much," Sveum said. "Right now he has been seeing more pitches and doing a better job that way especially hitting behind (Alfonso) Soriano and he's done a nice job. It's been a nice combo there the last few weeks. It's three, four, five like I talk about a lot. Most really good offensive teams, the three, four, five guys when the season is over have close to 600 runs produced (with runs scored and RBI)."

The 18-year-old will now turn his attention back to England Under-20 duty this weekend and the 6 Nations clash with France Under-20s at Sixways Stadium as part of Super Sunday.
The home of Worcester Warriors will see three international games in one day with England Women Under-20s (kick-off 11am), England Women (kick-off 1.05pm) and England Under-20s (kick-off 3.15pm) all in action.
Kvesic is now keen to continue the outstanding form that saw him named man-of-the-match in the last international with Italy - and joked that would also mean taking the headlines from team-mate and housemate Andy Short after his four-try burst!
"I love rugby and I can't get enough of it at the moment so it has been brilliant. Fingers crossed I can play on Sunday at Sixways in an England shirt - that would be really special for me," said Kvesic.
"I have had a really good few weeks away with England and got two very positive results over Wales and Italy.
"But I won't take anything for granted and hopefully I can put a good week together for England in training and so enough to cement a place in that starting line-up.
"It would be brilliant to play for England on home soil and I hope a lot of fans come out to support what will be a big day for the club.
"Andy is loving all the headlines," laughed Kvesic. "I live with him so all I hear is about is Short and Ashton scoring four tries.
"In fairness to him, he played really well against Italy and it was a good day - but I like to think it was a team effort and we gave him the opportunity to finish them off. But hopefully he can get four more in the game with France!"
Kvesic admits he also has one eye on the RFU Championship play-offs against Bristol Rugby, London Welsh and Nottingham Rugby and is keen to play as big a role as he did in the league victory over Bees.
"We were pleased to get a win over the local rivals and at the end of the day any victory is a positive. It is a hard place to come on a boggy pitch," added Kvesic.
"Coming back and getting a win for Warriors over Bees is important for the club, winning is an attitude and a frame of mind and we wanted to go into the play-offs on the front foot.
"I have learnt that a lot this season alongside Shorty (Andy Short) and we are both really enjoying it.
"We have been playing well and hopefully we can start well against Bristol in the pool stages. We have to go in with confidence and take each game as it comes.
"We can't be thinking about the semi-finals or finals - just focus on Bristol and getting it right on day one."
Tickets for Super Sunday at the home of Worcester Warriors this Sunday are on sale NOW. Tickets for the triple bill of international rugby at Sixways are £15 for adults, £5 for children and £10 for Debenture and Season Ticket holders at Warriors.

Remember that scene in one of the most best romantic comedy films ever My Best Friend's Wedding? I bet you've seen the movie a gazillion times and still can't find any reason to hate it at all. Aside from those scenes "Wishing and Hoping" and "I Say A Little Prayer for You", I can't can't seem to get over that karaoke bar scene where Cameron Diaz sings "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself". Ring a bell? She's a terrible singer but my oh my… she's so adorable! Her charm melts everyone's heart except for of course the groom's best friend, Julia Roberts.
I enjoy singing karaoke too but only when at home. At least Diaz has the guts to do it with strangers surrounding her. I perhaps can't do that. It's such a comfort to have my own karaoke machine at home which I can switch on anytime I want to. I might have to look for specialty microphones I can perform a duet with Bebe or sing in groups with my friends.
How about you? Do you sing karaoke? Do you do it only at home or do you also sing in karaoke bars? Do you sing really good or do you have the Cameron Diaz karaoke style?


text: Retail Retail report: First quarter produce volumes up By Pamela Riemenschneider May 17, 2011 | 12:23 pm EDT Comments Print The latest FreshFacts on Retail report shows consumers increased produce purchases compared to a year ago, despite relatively flat prices. The quarterly report, released by the United Fresh Foundation, Washington, D.C., and produced by The Perishables Group, West Dundee, Ill., tracks produce purchases in about 13,000 supermarkets nationwide representing more than 60% of all commodity volume supermarket share of supermarkets selling $2 million or more. The report breaks down retail prices and volumes for the 10 top-selling fruit and vegetables, value-added, organic and other categories. According to the report, consumers purchased 5% more vegetables in the first quarter of 2010 than they did in the first quarter of 2009, and they bought 1.5% more fruit in the same time period. Citrus led the fruit category in dollar growth, with an 11.7% increase in weekly dollars per store, which, according to the report, was âdue in large part to the 8.4% increase in the average retail price of citrus.â Other fruit that showed a large volume gain included apples, prepared fruit, pears and avocados. Fruit that posted losses in volumes included berries, grapes and stone fruit. Price drops in the vegetable category resulted in volume gains, according to the report. Potatoes led this trend with a 16.9% drop in price and 5.8% increase in volume compared to the same time period in 2009. Value-added fruit increased dollar and volume sales by 10.8% and 13.8%, with prices down 2.7%. Fresh-cut fruit led that category with a 14.8% increase in dollars per store and a 21.6% increase in volume and a 5.6% reduction in price. Organic produce showed double-digit growth in weekly dollar sales per store, with 10.4% in vegetables and 16.7% in fruit. Volumes also were up, 6% in vegetables and 13% in fruit. The entire report is available to United Fresh Produce Association members. More information is at www.unitedfresh.org.

Ugandan Paper Stirs Gay Witch Hunt
In a horrific witch hunt, violent assaults against gays have followed publication in an Ugandan newspaper of an article headlined "100 Pictures of Uganda's Top Homos Leak." The paper, called "Rolling Stone," said it plans to continue to publish the names of gay individuals.
Homosexual acts are already illegal in Uganda, and a draconian anti-homosexuality bill is awaiting action in parliament.
So watch as we begin a series of our own: "Newspapers in Uganda That Will Stoop to Anything to Fan Hatred, Boost Circulation." –JCL
The BBC:
Several people have been attacked in Uganda after a local newspaper published their names and photos, saying they were homosexual, an activist has told the BBC.
Frank Mugisha said one woman was almost killed after her neighbours started throwing stones at her house.
He said most of those whose names appeared in Uganda's Rolling Stone paper had been harassed.

text: SourceMADURAI, INDIA, March 2, 2013 (The Hindu): With Meenakshi Amman Temple coming under a security blanket, devotees as well as residents in the vicinity are uneasy over the heightened police presence. "The temple has been taken over by the police for all practical purposes and under the guise of security the police are troubling the common man," devotees complain.There were complaints from some of the Bhattars working in the Temple. "The police are checking us physically before entering the sterile area...We objected to this and informed the temple authorities. The moment we produce our photo identity cards, the police should allow us in without frisking," they argued.Women devotees with infants, unaware of the heightened security, are irked when they are told to leave camphor, match box, tender coconut water filled in bottles and other puja items such as agarbathis and milk outside the premises.A policeman is on guard atop a specially erected watch tower. All this gives an impression that we are living in a high security zone such as New Delhi." Even the temple staff are uncomfortable with the repeated checks. "When will the police relax this scale of security, a temple staff asked"A senior police officer said, "After the receipt of a specific threat, we have no other option but to step up vigil. The public have to cooperate. When the Central security agencies alert us about a possible threat, we cannot remain silent or hope nothing untoward would happen," he argued and added "if something goes wrong, the police would be blamed."

BEIJING, Dec 31 (Reuters) - Contentious new rules allowing Chinese police to board vessels deemed breaking the law off the southern island of Hainan are only valid within a narrow coastal zone, the government said on Monday, seeking to calm regional tensions.
The regulations, which go into effect in the new year, sparked widespread concern in Southeast Asia that China was taking a tougher line on the disputed South China Sea, where several nations are involved in a bitter territorial dispute.
Worries were compounded as Hainan is technically the province which has jurisdiction over China's extensive South China Seas claims, raising the possibility Chinese police could board ships anywhere in those waters.
But Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said the scope of Hainan's rules, announced by state media in November, represented no change from regulations passed in 1999 limiting enforcement to within 12 nautical miles of Hainan's coast.
"What I want to stress is that these local rules were formulated by the Hainan provincial government to strengthen border controls over the coast and maritime management," Hua told a daily news briefing.
"Their aim is to tackle crime at sea and maintain peace on the seas. There is no change to the scope of how these rules are used compared to the 1999 rules," she added, without elaborating.
It is the first time the Chinese government has provided a detailed explanation of where the rules would be applied.
Southeast Asia's top diplomat had warned that they could spark naval clashes and hurt the region's economy, while the U.S. government said it was seeking clarification.
China is in an increasingly angry dispute with neighbours including the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Brunei and Malaysia over claims to parts of the potentially oil and gas-rich South China Sea.
China lays claim to almost the whole of the sea, which is criss-crossed by crucial shipping lanes.
Hua repeated that the Chinese government's stance had not changed, and that it advocated resolving the issue by talks between the claimant nations.
"I think that all sides should adopt a fair and objective attitude towards this and be constructive and show goodwill towards the reading of these rules." (Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Editing by Nick Macfie)

The release of major GameCube title The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has been delayed until 2006, Nintendo of Europe confirmed to MCV this morning.
The global delay of the product, which was scheduled to hit retail this November, is to allow extra development time to add more content, according to the Japanese giant.
"Our development team has decided to take extra time to add some incredible new elements to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess," a Nintendo of Europe statement explained. "As a result, the game will now launch in 2006 globally.
"We recognise there may be some disappointed fans, however we firmly believe this additional time will result in a much more enjoyable gaming experience.
"GameCube fans will have a variety of Nintendo games to choose from this Christmas, including Mario Smash Football, Battalion Wars, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness."
The Miyamoto-produced adventure was Nintendo's flagship title for GameCube this Christmas, and the news will come as a blow to both the publisher and retail.

The LCB's conflict
Conflicting stories about the state Liquor Control Board's in-house brands keep multiplying. Records obtained by the Trib under Pennsylvania's Right to Know Law contradict CEO Joe Conti's claim that the LCB devoted no resources to promoting those brands.
In fact, the LCB spent nearly $475,000 — about 10 percent of its last fiscal year's advertising budget — with Harmelin Media of Philadelphia to place newspaper, magazine, billboard, mass-transit, radio and online-sponsorship ads for five of its eight in-house brands.
More than 960 private-sector brands — which compete with the in-house brands — had to compete for the rest of the ad budget.
Even the producers of those in-house brands are disturbed. They're members of the California-based Wine Institute, whose counsel says special ad treatment for LCB in-house brands was "government ... picking winners and losers."
"(T)hey were doing something they should not have been doing and spending money that rightfully should have gone to taxpayers," says the Allegheny Institute's Frank Gamrat.
Various LCB officials' conflicting stories about the in-house brands make the LCB's self-dealing even worse. Yet the more conflicting stories that emerge, the more the LCB makes the case for its own demise through privatization.
The state has no business in the wine-and-liquor business — as monopoly wholesaler and retailer or as provider and promoter of products competing with the private-sector brands it regulates.

Diskeeper Tech to Prevent Fragmented Files
The company's plans to do so were revealed Thursday, but on Friday director of products and technologies Michael Materie provided more details on how the software will work.
As of now, Diskeeper has not revealed a formal name for the technology, nor disclosed what it will charge for the product. Since the file system filter works so closely with an operating system's file system, Diskeeper has had to choose which file system to support: for now, the product will support NTFS, used by the latest Windows programs since Windows 2000, as well as the older FAT file system. Both Linux and Apple's Mac OS X can access the NTFS file system, but Materie said the program will be for Windows only, at least initially.
Diskeeper's Materie said that he could not comment on certain aspects of the technology, including the issue of patents.
But the filter driver is designed to weed out about 75 percent of fragmentation before it ever occurs, by intercepting the data before it is written to the file system, and organizing it appropriately.
"It will be a green technology, in the sense that it will minimize the amount of [disk] activity in terms of defrag operations... including use of the drive, power, and wear and tear," Materie said.
Diskeeper is one of a few companies which have devoted themselves to defragmentation, or the elimination of blocks of file data spread out over the logical system of a computer's hard disk. Searching for and combininng these fragments is a time-consuming process, and a heavily fragmented disk can bring a PC to a crawl. Diskeeper has worked on defrag utilities for over 20 years, and its products have won PCMag.com Editors' Choice awards.
Although the new technology may have an impact on consumer products, Materie talked more of the impact on enterprises, especially block-based storage and deduplication applications, where copies of redundant information are hunted down and eliminated to minimize storage space.
"I think that there's going to be a lot of trickle through of effort in a lot of different areas," Materie said.
The technology may also improve solid-state-disks (SSDs), which don't typically suffer from the same fragmentation issues that can affect rotating disks, Materie said. SSD performance can far outstrip rotating disks, but only on sequential reads and writes; random writes, in particular, can slow down disk performance. In some cases, a fragmented file being read out to a solid state disc for writing can be treated as a random write, hurting performance, he said. 9Some SSDs use intelligent write algorithms to minimize this.) The Diskeeper technology may help minimize the random-write problem, he said.
Materie said the technology was currently working through extensive testing, both to minimize the impact on CPU and memory performance, as well as file-system stability. On the latter metric, Materie said DisKeeper has found no problems. "It's absolutely bulletproof from a stability perspective," he said.
