True Thunderbolt Performance
Ensemble delivers the full potential of Thunderbolt 2 performance with the lowest latency, unmatched CPU efficiency, 2 ports for expanding your system and a revolutionary 32-bit playback signal path.
The Lowest Latency of any Audio Interface
Ensemble's proprietary Thunderbolt driver has been written from the ground up for Mac OS X Mavericks, resulting in unmatched performance and efficiency. Latency has been reduced to an astounding 1.1ms round-trip*, allowing you to monitor through your DAW, plug-ins included, simplifying your workflow and leveraging the power of your Mac. Even when your session's DSP demands require a higher buffer setting, Ensemble's ultra-low latency means no longer having to choose between power and speed.
To accommodate different workflow preferences, Ensemble features optional direct hardware monitoring through Apogee's Control Software with 0.6ms of latency.
* Logic Pro X at 96kHz / 32 buffer setting
Devours Bits, Sips CPU
Ensemble's custom driver includes two innovative features to maximize the performance of the software-hardware interface: a full 32-bit signal path from the output of your DAW straight to the high-performance ESS DAC, and a revolutionary Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine to more efficiently read and write data directly to Mac memory independent of the Mac CPU.
The DMA engine, running on Ensemble's hardware logic chip, reads digital audio data directly from your Mac's memory in a 32-bit format, increasing the driver's efficiency and providing the highest resolution signal possible to the DAC stage. This implementation allows the driver to crunch an enormous amount of data at an amazing speed, while making a very light demand on your Mac CPU. You benefit with lower latency, more plug-in power, and a transparent and encompassing
listening experience.
Multi-unit Support for Ensemble and Element Series
Expand your studio with two Ensembles or connect any Apogee Element Series interface to an Ensemble
Intel's Thunderbolt™ technology was made for connecting multiple high bandwidth peripherals to your Mac. Ensemble includes two Thunderbolt™ 2 ports, allowing you to connect hard drive arrays, video capture devices, Thunderbolt monitors with up to 4k resolution, a second Ensemble or an Apogee Element.
Connect a second Ensemble Thunderbolt or an Element Series interface to your Ensemble Thunderbolt and expand your studio. Element series interfaces feature Ensemble sound quality at unprecedented prices.
A Difference You Will Hear
Apogee is an award-winning industry leader in digital recording technology with over 25 years of experience. Preferred by recording pros around the world, Apogee products like Duet, Quartet, the original Ensemble and Symphony I/O have been instrumental in creating countless GRAMMY® and OSCAR® winning recordings and have set the industry standard in professional recording for over two decades. Ensemble is built solidly on this reputation.
From the mic preamps to the AD/DA converters and the clocking, Ensemble is best-in-class and cutting-edge Apogee technology. With components carefully selected in critical listening tests and a highly efficient circuit design, Ensemble was built by Apogee engineers to make a difference you can hear.
Measurably Superior A/D Conversion
Ensemble's analog-to-digital conversion stage has been upgraded from previous generations of Apogee products such as Duet and Quartet to provide greater dynamic range, lower distortion and an almost non-existent noise level.
Dynamically Optimized Mic Preamps
Ensemble's 8 uniquely designed mic preamps feature Apogee's Advanced Stepped Gain Architecture™, in which the circuit is dynamically optimized to provide superior bandwidth, ultra low noise and nonexistent distortion across the unprecedented gain range of 0-75 dB. Whether recording powerful drums, dynamic vocals or delicate strings, your recordings retain the full impact, intricate detail and lifelike dimension of the original performance.
ESS Sabre32 DAC Technology
ESS Sabre32 32-bit Hyperstream DAC with Time Domain Jitter Eliminator offers unequalled dynamic range, ultra low distortion, and unmatched audio clarity free from input jitter.
Custom Power Regulation for Ultra-Low
Noise Performance
Ensemble's mic pre, A/D and D/A circuitry are powered by discrete, Apogee-designed power regulators for ultra-low noise not obtainable with off-the-shelf components. This design was first implemented in Apogee's flagship Symphony I/O's 3-Stage Cascaded power supply.
Soft Limit for protection from digital overs
An Apogee technology first introduced in 1992 on Apogee's AD-500 converter, Soft Limit can be heard on countless platinum selling records around the world. Once a technology exclusively reserved for Apogee's most advanced audio converters, Soft Limit is included in Ensemble and can be enabled in Apogee Control software or from the front panel.
This superior FET-based analog design prevents the digital clipping that causes distortion by instantaneously rounding off transient peaks before they hit the analog-to-digital converter. Soft Limit allows several more decibels of apparent level to be recorded while subtly providing an analog tape-like warmth to the sound.

Best Thunderbolt interface in it's price range
"Had this baby for over a year and haven't had a single problem with it. Blazing fast, built like a tank and sounds pristine…."
Pablo Morales
From Sweetwater
"Stepped up from a Apollo twin and there's definitely a big difference – you can hear so much detail and recording comes out crystal clear"
Phoenix from Florida
From Sweetwater
Ensemble Thunderbolt
"I purchased the Ensemble Firewire interface 6 years ago from Sweetwater and it has performed well in my in home studio. After reading about Apogee's new Thunderbolt version I contacted my longtime sales rep, Nate Edwards, to discuss the product. As usual, Nate provided a detailed first hand perspective on the Ensemble Thunderbolt and I decided to make the switch.
The Thunderbolt version is a significant qualitative step increase vs the Firewire version. Mic preamps, interface options, ease of use and conversion, latency elimination, etc, are all improved. However, the biggest difference/benefit to me are the results. Whether you are listening to the Thunderbolt in a live setting or its recorded output, the fidelity of the music is greatly improved. Transparency, soundstage, imaging, make this a true "prosumer" device at a reasonable cost. It is the most "analog" sounding digital recording interface I have heard outside of a professional studio."

Silver belle!
Although her daytime style is extremely casual (think cut-off shorts and vintage band T-shirts), Miley Cyrus proved on Sunday that she has no problem turning up the glam-o-meter when necessary.
PHOTOS: Miley's raciest outfits
The 19-year-old starlet did just that at Elton John's annual Oscars viewing party in Beverly Hills Sunday, when she stepped out in a silver floor-length Roberto Cavalli gown with a fishtail train. She complemented her grown-up ensemble with a Judith Leiber clutch, sparkly Jimmy Choo heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.
To top off her look, she wore her hair in retro-glam, side-parted curls teamed with a bright red lipstick.
The only things that looked out of place were her turquoise manicure and pedicure!

BREAKING - VIDEO OF ALLEGED WHITE HOUSE SHOOTER: "I am modern day Jesus Christ"
Author's note: please follow me on twitter to get alerts whenever column is updated, links and for all political breaking news @ABC7Scott
BREAKING - VIDEO OF ALLEGED WHITE HOUSE SHOOTER: "I am modern day Jesus Christ"
I've just gotten my hands on a video that Oscar Ortega-Hernandez had recorded while he was attempting to be profiled on the Oprah Winfrey Show. The Idaho man had a college student shoot video of him during what amounted to a more than half-hour long rant where he chastised the government, spoke of his time in violent gangs and claimed to be the "modern day Jesus Christ." No doubt the FBI and Secret Service are also scouring the video for any comments they feel might build their case in seeking a conviction on his alleged "assassination" attempt against President Obama. (see the affidavit posted in yesterday's TCT)
See these clips below:
-Ortega-Hernandez and his plea to Oprah Winfrey
-Ortega-Hernandez on gang violence
-Ortega-Hernandez on religion
-Ortega-Hernandez on fighting government
A full report is coming on ABC7 tonight.
So the saga that is Mr. Cain's campaign has taken another odd turn. This time it's full of irony. The man who seemingly loves being in front of every camera that comes his way, has now decided he won't conduct sit-down newspaper interviews if there is a camera in the room. Why? Well, these very in-depth, issue-oriented and detail-demanding interviews are often the truest litmus test for determining a candidate's knowledge on pivotal subjects. They're tough and very specific in subject matter: In other words, a great opportunity to share opinions and theories without having to whittle them down into 15 second sound bites for the TV crews.
The problem is, Mr. Cain has not fared well during some of them and is seen struggling greatly with basic questions about everything from Libya to collective bargaining rights. So yesterday, Mr. Cain refused to conduct a previously scheduled sit-down interview with a New Hampshire newspaper because C-SPAN had plans to videotape it. He, or his staff, apparently doesn't want to risk another uncomfortable moment like this one that arose during his interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
What are next, debates over radio only? Interviews in which answers are submitted in written form? If stumped, a simple response of '9-9-9'?
Oh…yeah, he's already done that.
Sometimes lectures on life come from the most unexpected sources. In other words, sometimes Rep. Charlie Rangel preaches about right and wrong. Today, the embattled former gavel-holder of the all-important Ways and Means Committee decided the best way to get the congressional Super-Committee to get the job done would be to evoke sanctimonious calls for 'moral responsibility.'
You see, the New York Democrat believes we have an inherent onus to take better care of those most in need. While I can't disagree with the idea of caring for the greater good, it's a curious commentary coming from Mr. Rangel.
For some context here, please recall that Rangel was found guilty on 11 ethics violations while being accused of failing to declare hundreds of thousands of dollars in income & assets and failed to pay income taxes on a Dominican Republic.
Laws he should have been well aware of since he helped craft them.

My extended family had a great meal at The Cowfish in North Hills the other week and I thought I'd share a picture of my four-year-old daughter's meal.
She ordered Christopher's Sushi Combo off the kids' menu. It includes your choice of a California roll, tempura shrimp roll or a vegetarian roll. She picked apples and house fries for her sides. The other choices were carrots and oranges. Kids meals come with a drink.
The meal came in a little bento box complete with a smiley face atop a rice patty. My daughter absolutely loved it. And, best of all, she gobbled it up.
All kids meals are $6 at The Cowfish.
(I'll add this for full disclosure: My younger daughter attends the same school as the kids of one of the restaurant's partners).

A reappraisal of Modigliani's finance theories
The paper examines the influence of Modigliani's contributions to the theory of finance. As for the term structure of interest rates, the preferred habitat theory, had a mixed fortune: it was utilized by financial managers for a rather long time, before being discarded in the 1980s and, perhaps, being somewhat resumed in our days. The Modigliani-Miller theorem is considered as a landmark in finance theory, even if the controversies over both its assumptions and conclusions had indeed been very strong. By contrast, financial managers completely disregarded the thesis of an irrational undervaluation of stocks in inflationary periods. But most economists appreciate the proof that, for rather long periods, the market can be inefficient in channelling the resources towards the most productive utilizations.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Hi! I will be the professional that will be helping you today. I look forward to providing you with information to help solve your problem.
I certainly understand the situation and your concern. Would you mind sharing with me if the case is still open/pending with the court? Have you had a chance to compare this new complaint to the previous one you were served with?
Thank you for the additional information.
You certainly have a good faith basis to dispute any additional fees which they are trying to add on top of last years claim. The reason being, is that it sounds as though the previous attorney took no action to move the case forward or respond to the contested form you filed, which resulted in new counsel being hired. Moreover, if the file a new case and it is based upon the same cause of action as the last one, you would have a valid motion to dismiss to file, attacking the new case, since it is already pending before the court. They would have to dismiss the first one, if they wanted to proceed on the new one. If this happened, they would only be entitled to the fees from the new case, since the older case and the dismissal, was a result of their own fault
Thank you for the follow up question. If you had a repayment plan and defaulted on it, then they would legally be allowed to go after you and sue for the debt. In doing so, they would be entitled to recover all fees and costs associated with it, along with attorney fees, if allowed under the contract. Since you defaulted, they have no legal obligation to reinstate the plan or work out a new one. That is at their own discretion. Had they filed the first case, you responded and they failed to proceed and filed a new claim, you certainly would have a legal basis to have the new case dismissed, since there would be two pending cases, from the same cause of action. Based upon what you just described, it would appear they did not respond since you were able to work this out. However, they should have then dismissed the case and closed it out, so it would not still be pending with the court
Yes, 100%. This is a legal matter and you do have every right to contest it and raise any defenses which you may have. Moreover, the attorney can also likely work out a settlement, if you did not want to go to trial and see if the Plaintiff would accept less then what they see and allow a payment plan, to pay this off.

AMD "Fusion" Vision for the Future - on-die GPU Page: 1
AMD have fallen slightly behind in the CPU wars in a lot of technology enthusiasts eyes. With Intel ramping up Core2Duo, AMD's previous title of "best gaming chip" has fallen by the wayside. However, by no means are AMD struggling and indeed they are certainly not resting on their laurels. After a press conference attended by OC3D, featuring talks from ATI's (ex) CTO Bob Drebin and Phil Mester - AMD's Technology CTO, we were given a brief but interesting insight of where AMD are going.
How AMD/ATI see the market
AMD stated that the market is going for more and more cores and more and more processing power, but forgetting that these have to actually be utilised to be worth anything. Software support seems to be pretty far behind hardware at the moment and although this is being worked on, is it really worth having 32 cores on a CPU?
What AMD see as the future is adding a proper instruction set to x86. It was done with MMX, SSE and X64 and they think that we need an instruction set to add support for GPUs on CPUs. Now it may seem I'm jumping ahead a little here, but I'll come back to that.
Remember that this is how AMD see it going. Intel's views have not been made clear to us and it way be that they have plans of their own. I have also heard that nVidia plans on making CPUs...but whether they can do that on their own without the specialist knowledge of a good CPU firm is another thing.
I will say that AMD were the first off the blocks with their 64 bit support, and Intel chose to adopt their instruction set for that...
The Hardware side
AMD's view is that the GPU has become such a useful tool in the computing world that it is needed at the heart of systems now. They also focused on the phrase "
performance-per watt-per dollar
". This is something that AMD say that the industry needs to start focusing upon. With data centres becoming more and more CPU-heavy AMD want to show how they can reduce the power overhead.
This shows that the interface between the CPU > PCI-e bus > GPU hinders the performance per watt with the current model. AMD have plans to stop this happening.
Why GPU on-die?
The GPU has come a long way in recent years, becoming a massively parallel processing unit. With a large amount of pipes and a getting faster and faster, the GPU can do things that the CPU will struggle at. As an example AMD used
Folding @ Home
. Folding is an a distributed computing program that utilitises people PC's to fold "proteins". I won't say too much more on this other than it runs a whole lot faster on the GPU than it does on the CPU due to it's massively parallel nature.
AMD also went on to demonstrate a rather fun physics simulation on both the CPU and GPU - showing that the GPU manages to give far faster and more detailed physics than even the fastest AMD chip can do currently.
Above is what AMD think this could lead to in a basic way, lets see a little more detail:
Here we see ATI demonstrating that you can utilise the power of the GPU is many different ways. The first was we see is perhaps for a lower-end desktop of low power HTPC/laptop. With Vista now fully utilising the GPU for OS acceleration, this would mean that there needn't be a discreet graphics card with the additional power overhead that comes with it.
However in example two we see that this is a far more powerful machine that could use several CPU core and several GPU cores for different things. Perhaps a high-end high power commercial unit for vehicle simulation or medical imaging.
For me the exciting thing comes when you have a dual core CPU handling the game engine/AI, the embedded GPU handling physics and anything else needed that can be easily programmed in and a discreet ultra-fast add-in GPU for the graphics. This is where we see AMD admitting that they believe that there will always be discreet cards and that they're business is not to get rid of them. Remember they want "performance-per watt-per dollar".
Above you can see some platform choices for vendors. This is where AMD can learn from ATI (aside from their quite obviously excellent GPUs). ATI have managed to get themselves into a lot of sectors of the technology market. From mobile phones to HDTV and palmtop PC's - ATI are inherent in a lot of media applications. AMD see this as somewhere where their platform needs to be pervasive.
Thus we lead on to Torrenza. AMD's "open development platform". This platform is something AMD hope to build their whole range of next-gen products around. With applications ranging from mobile platforms, network applications and even gaming platforms: Torrenza looks to be a nice solution to a complex problem. AMD are openly encouraging the development of a number of specialised processors. With the huge diversity that abound in the etch world AMD have cited a few examples: Java, XML, Floating Point and Media Processing. Torrenza allows integration of these alongside the more traditional components of a system.
As you can see AMD are reaching across a huge area with this technology and hoping that they can give an all in one solution to all computing needs.
Before we get too excited about this technology - and it is exciting; let us pause and look for some issues:
• AMD's GPU on CPU x86 instruction set has to be accepted as standard (just like x64).
• Software has to be written to utilise this new technology. There is little enough support for dual cores.
• AMD were a little sketchy on what would happen as regarding graphics memory. Would it be integrated onto the motherboard or would this share the slower system memory?
• Even more sketchy were the details of the speed of these GPU's, although we were assured they would be "many times" faster than a chipset graphics solution (referring to Intel's GMA solutions).
• What are AMD doing in the short term? I heard mention in passing of "some exciting new products coming soon" but nothing solid apart from the 2007 release of the native quad core.
Aside from those worries, AMD's future plans look pretty exciting. If they manage to pull it off and their on-die GPU x86 instruction set gets industry approval this may once again be an exciting time to be a fan of AMD. With ATI's blisteringly fast GPU's now owned by AMD (n.b. the ATI brand
) and AMD still up there in the processor race, perhaps we are going to see an AMD that reaches far further than just making exceptionally good CPU's.
With Vista on the way this is perhaps the optimal time for this kind of innovation. This would reduce the OEM's overheads by adding graphical support onto the CPU and mean that "Vista Ready" laptops/desktop could start with some pretty powerful graphics hardware, ultimately giving the end-user a better "Vista experience".
As a last word - heres something that made me chuckle. AMD used the "Top500" companies website as an example to show the power of an on-die GPU. With an estimated 1000 nodes typically they came up with this:
Discuss in our
GPU = Graphics Processing Unit
CPU = Central Processing Unit

Karen nears Gulf Coast
Sat, 05 Oct 2013 22:05:59 GMT —
Columbia (WACH/NHC) -- Activity in the Gulf of Mexico is heating up as the 11th named storm of the hurricane season developed Wednesday.
Karen has weakened to a tropical depression. Maximum winds are 35 mph as of 10 p.m. Saturday, and is located 100 miles south of Louisiana. Karen is currently stationary.
The projected path so far takes the storm on a northeastward path through the gulf, with the main areas impacted being gulf coast states.
Timing of landfall looks to be Saturday night.
All watches and warnings associated with Karen have been discontinued.
The main impacts of Karen should stay along the Gulf coast, but the edge of tropical moisture will make its way toward South Carolina by Sunday night and Monday morning.

District 192 happy with interest in new school
With a week to go before its first registration deadline, Farmington's newest school is starting to fill up.
If the district still has space after April 1 it will accept students on a first come, first served basis.
The district is still working out the details of the new school, but the current plan calls for a focus on project-based learning — where students might work lessons from several areas into a larger whole — and a move away from traditional grade levels. Students would work at their own pace and advance when they are ready, not just because a new school year has started.
In its first year, the school will focus on students in fourth, fifth and sixth grades. District innovative programs director Laura Pierce said applications have been mostly even among the grades, with just a few more coming for fifth graders. Enrollment is almost exactly even between boys and girls.
The district has also gotten seven applications from students who either live in the district and attend school elsewhere or who live outside the district and want to come in. Pierce said students who live in the district will have priority if there is a lottery to assign places in the new school.
Applications continue to come in. When superintendent Jay Haugen discussed the new school at a Monday night board meeting he announced there had been 74 applications. By the next afternoon three more had arrived.
That makes Pierce happy.
"We're ecstatic where we're at," Pierce said. "I feel like we're right on target."
Pierce said the district gets calls daily from parents who want to know more about the school.
"They like the fact that it's innovative," she said. "They're excited that it's more of a family-style model where students will know their teachers over a number of years."
Teachers on board
In addition to identifying students, the district has chosen three teachers — or learning advisors, in the language of the new school — for the inaugural class at the new school. FHS language arts teacher John Stock, Boeckman Middle School teacher Katie Buelo and middle school art teacher Kjersten Tharaldson all accepted positions at the school last week. Those three will help flesh out details as development of the school continues.
Among other things, that means choosing a name.

Before leaving Louisville, we stopped at the Louisville Slugger Factory Museum where they actually make the baseball bats from start to finish. We took a tour of the factory and the kids got to do a little version of a batting cage which was SO much fun! They had a lot of baseball and baseball bat history, and gave us each a mini Louisville Slugger to take home with us. The big challenge is going to be keeping the kids from swinging those bats and connecting with someone's head, a wall, or a piece of furniture!
The biggest part of our trip has very few pictures, and you'll understand why... After Louisville, we drove to Bowling Green, KY - halfway between Louisville and Nashville where Mammoth Cave is located. Believe it or not, this cave is the longest in the world and is absolutely amazing!
To save my camera from being scratched up while tunneling through the cave, we skipped taking pictures while inside and simply took a quick shot by the car after finishing the hike... Anybody notice the blue and grey theme here? Completely unintentional but yes, we're a Georgetown family! I find it so impressive that the kids were still smiling after hiking for 2+ hours well underground!
Although most people thought our vacation choice was a bit obscure, we were apparently starting a fad ... The AJC ran an article this weekend about all the fun stuff to do in Kentucky with travel tips and info about the May 5th Kentucky Derby! (Click HERE!) There's surprisingly a lot to do around there, and the kids enjoyed the trip as much as we did. I wish I had taken pictures of the drive - who knew Kentucky would be absolutely gorgeous! Pretty pretty horse country and well worth the drive!

THERE is no doubt that the best way to enjoy fresh corn on the cob is to boil the shucked ears briefly, then devour them, doused, if desired, with butter and salt. But as satisfying as corn on the cob might be at first, a few weeks into the season the palate becomes restless.
There are other ways to use fresh corn, especially the kernels stripped from the cobs. The kernels can be sauteed or cooked briefly by steaming or removed from precooked cobs, then tossed with grains or pasta to make a salad, a side dish or a light main course.
When using the kernels off the cob, the same criteria for selecting the corn applies as when corn on the cob is to be served. It should be freshly picked, with moisture oozing from the stem end (without the silk). And once you have peeled back the husk on an ear or two to verify the color and quality, it is not necessary to open every ear. Just reject any that feel small and skimpy in the husk.
Grilled Polenta With Fresh Corn
Total Time: 25 minutes
5 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 1/2 cups stone-ground yellow cornmeal
2 cups fresh uncooked corn kernels
2 teaspoons minced fresh basil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepperContinue reading the main story
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan.
1. Bring stock to a simmer in a heavy saucepan. Add cornmeal very slowly in a thin stream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring, about 20 minutes.
2. Fold corn, basil and all but a teaspoon of butter into the cornmeal mixture. Cook 5 to 10 minutes longer, until mixture has thickened but is not stiff. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Use the remaining butter to grease a nine-inch-square baking dish. Spread the cornmeal mixture in the baking dish and allow to cool. Refrigerate if not using within four hours.
4. Preheat grill or broiler. Cut cooled polenta into six equal portions. Remove from baking dish and grill pieces about five minutes on each side, until lightly browned and heated through. Serve with a dusting of Parmesan.
Yield: 6 servings.
Salad of Bulgur, Corn and Avocado
Total Time: 1 1/2 hours, including soaking
1 cup bulgur
1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 cups cooked corn kernels
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup minced sweet red pepper
1/3 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper.
1. Put bulgur in a large bowl, pour four cups boiling water over it and allow to soften, about an hour. Drain well, squeezing out as much water as possible. Transfer to a serving bowl.
2. Peel, pit and dice avocado. Toss gently with lime juice in a small bowl.
3. Mix corn kernels, scallions, red pepper, cilantro and olive oil with bulgur. Gently fold in avocado and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
Yield: 6 servings.
Warm Penne Salad With Corn
Total Time: 40 minutes
1 pound penne
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
Cooked kernels from 3 ears of corn
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh tomato pulp
4 sun-dried tomatoes, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper.
1. Boil penne in salted water until al dente. Drain, rinse in cold water and drain well.
2. While penne is cooking, heat two tablespoons olive oil in a skillet, add onion and saute until softened. Add corn and saute five minutes. Remove from heat, add lemon peel and drained penne and toss.
3. Beat lemon juice and remaining olive oil, pour over penne mixture and toss gently.
4. Add basil, tomato pulp, sun-dried tomatoes, chives and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside 15 minutes, then serve.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.Continue reading the main story

Several years ago I was the NC State Champion in smallbore rifle silhouette, and I absolutely LOVED it! The local range closed, I got married, moved, etc., etc.
I was also State Champ in three-position smallbore competition for three years in a row, but it just wasn't the same as hearin' the "Plink!" after the shot, and to me, not as challenging either.
I'm hopin' to make a big comeback this year! ;)

These clippings cover the year 1919. Most of the items are taken from newspapers, but there are several longer magazine articles as well. Some of the articles pertain to Edison's recording of a personal phonograph message marking the end of the war—reportedly the first time that the inventor had ever allowed his voice to be recorded. There are also clippings about his summer camping trip in the Adirondacks with Henry Ford, John Burroughs, and Harvey S. Firestone, including accounts of their visit to the new Ford Tractor Factory in Green Island, New York, and interviews with the press where Edison expressed his opinions about the League of Nations and other issues relating to postwar political and economic reconstruction. Other clippings concern the deaths of traffic manager John T. Rogers and former associates Philip S. Dyer and Frederick Sargent; efforts to promote the phonograph; and the initiation of "Americanization" classes for the foreign employees of Thomas A. Edison, Inc.
In addition, there are numerous clippings about Charles Edison, including his promotion to general manager of TAE Inc. following the resignation of Carl H. Wilson, his announcement of a new management strategy to prevent labor unrest, and his appointment as treasurer of the National Social Unit Organization. Also included is a long letter from Frank J. Sprague disputing the claim that Edison invented and perfected the electric railway, as well as clippings about Henry's Fords libel suit against the Chicago Tribune.
Approximately 20 percent of the clippings have been selected. In addition to numerous duplicate versions of most of the stories, the unselected items include clippings about the death of Theodore Roosevelt; Henry Ford's testimony in the libel case; prohibition; and Bolshevism.
A small amount of additional material for 1919 can be found in Cat. 44,516 in the Scrapbook Series. Newspaper articles and other documents pertaining to Charles Edison's role in the Liberty Loan and Victory Loan campaigns, 1917-1919, can be found in four unselected scrapbooks (Cat. 44,511, Cat. 44,512, Cat. 44,513, and Cat. 44,514) at the Edison National Historical Park.

Manufacturing on a Roll
The manufacturing sector is starting 2013 with the tailwind of some very positive news behind it. In many parts of the globe -- both developed and developing economies -- manufacturers are reporting solid or stable growth in new manufacturing orders and output, according to researchers and industry organizations.
One would have expected manufacturing to slow down as 2012 drew to a close since sales activities have typically been dull in January and much of the first quarter. That wasn't the case in December, according to a report from industry consultant Markit and another monthly survey by the Institute of Supply Management. Manufacturing activities were globally stable in the last month of the year and even rose in several key economic regions, Markit said, noting improvements in leading economies as well as emerging markets.
In the United States "economic activity in the manufacturing sector expanded in December, following one month of contraction, and the overall economy grew for the 43rd consecutive month," the ISM said in its report.
Elsewhere, the UK, China, and the US posted surprisingly strong manufacturing numbers with the global manufacturing PMI calculated by Markit in conjunction with the ISM and JP Morgan rising in December above 50, the point between economic contraction and expansion, for the "first time since May 2012," Markit said. The company said further:
Of course, such good news never fails to come with a few kinks. The UK might have recorded an unusual manufacturing expansion last month, but the country is by no means representative of trends in Europe. The eurozone economies remain under pressure, and the entire region contracted "for the tenth month running, while jobs were cut for the eleventh straight month," Markit reported. Japan posted an even worse performance. "The downturn in Japan gathered pace, with production falling at the sharpest pace since early-2011 and payroll numbers declining for the third consecutive month."
Stagnation in the eurozone and Japan shouldn't surprise anyone. The European economy has yet to shake off the malaise that has gripped the region for the last several years now, and it was unlikely a sudden growth spurt elsewhere in December could revive growth in the area. In fact, continuing fiscal tightening by regional governments will most likely further depress consumer demand and corporate capital expenditure.
In the case of Japan, the recent elections and the appointment of a new prime minister have raised hopes some much needed economy-boosting activities could be seen soon, but those expectations will most likely be dashed. Japan has been battling negative growth for a while, and the consensus amongst economists is that it won't recover without some major catalyst spurring on government and penny pinching consumers.
Will global manufacturing continue to improve over the coming months, or will we see a reversal of the gains posted in December? I believe each region -- and maybe even individual countries -- will record quite different experiences. In the case of the UK, the celebration of manufacturing resurgence may be premature. If the government continues to savagely cut entitlements it will eventually drive down demand again, because corporate recruitment remains tepid.
The US economy might surprise everyone with continued strength. Current growth projections aren't very optimistic, but with the first scare of the "fiscal cliff" over and as a new Congress is sworn in, combined with a reelected president eager to secure his legacy, the focus might be not just on budget cuts and debt-reduction. Congress and the President might even find themselves working harder to find ways to further reduce the unemployment rate.
If that happens in the United States, the rest of the world will benefit strongly: Chinese manufacturing will sprint higher, Europe should catch a lift, and emerging economies could see their currently low level of optimism blossoming. That may sound like wishful thinking, but very few people were expecting manufacturing to be strong in December either.

Obituary of
Robert Jason "Jace" Tucker
Source: Newspaper clipping from unknown newspaper in Tennessee. See transcriber notes at end of document.
Obituary reads:
Jace Tucker, 94 Years, Father of 18, Dies
Robert Jason (Jace) Tucker of Cowan, father of 18 children, died Sunday at his home after a short illness. He was 94.
Services were conducted at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Moore-Cortner Funeral Home. Burial was in Montgomery Cemetery.
Sixteen of the Tucker children are still living. All of them were born at home and were raised on the farm. The oldest is 71 and the youngest is 45.
Tucker married the former Martha Jane Partin, who survives, when he was 21 years old and she was 15. They had been married 72 years.
He rented a number of farms until buying his own on Greenhaw Road. He sold the farm at age 72 and retired to a house he bought on Myers Street in Cowan.
A son, Grizzard Tucker, of Tullahoma, recalled how his dad bought a haybaler and baled hay for other farmers to provide a livelihood for his large family. "He enjoyed life with his many children," he said.
A Coffee County native, he was born Nov. 23, 1884. He was the son of Samuel and Liza Tucker.
He was a Baptist.
Survivors besides his wife and son are seven daughters, Mrs. Maude Henderson, Winchester, Mrs. Daisy Bell Cornelius, Tullahoma, Mrs. Velma Haid and Mrs. Marie Crowe, both of Nashville, Mrs. Bertha Kuestorwski, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Mrs. Stella Wilkerson, Cowan, and Mrs. Beulah Jean Newton, Rome, Ohio; eight other sons, Lon A., Decherd, marion, Tullahoma, Otis and Ellis, Cowan, Paul and Dewey, Mishawaka, Ind., and Hugh Lee and Homer Tucker, South Bend, Ind., two sisters, Mrs. Nell Willn, Detroit, and Mrs. Carrie Smith, Estill Springs; a brother, Elmer Tucker, Detroit; 63 grandchildren, 100 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.

I'm writing an app that has to take products from a database and export them to several different online marketplaces (Amazon, Play, etc.). I want to apply different rules about whether to include products, and how to price them, based on things like which supplier a product comes from, which market it's going to, and what category it's in..
I thought maybe there might be some kind of design pattern that deals with this kind of situation. I want to design something that's going to make it easy to add new rules later on. Does anyone have any thoughts about the best way to do this?
It isn't just one pattern, it is a number of patterns working on concert with some message queueing to make things happen.
On the front you'll probably want to use the strategy pattern amongst other things to pick items for a vendor. You'll likely need some adapters to reformat that data to send it. Then perhaps a facade to cover the web services on the backside. And that doesn't even get into UIs or dealing with pricing and other things.
Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate the suggestions, but I guess I could have worded my original question more clearly. At the moment I'm just trying to find a better way to implement the pricing rules, rather than dealing with the UI and data formatting.
Say I have my collection of product objects, and I want to loop through those and apply a set of rules to each one - is there a good way to do that which will keep the code clean and maintainable? I did some research on the patterns you mentioned and I came across the Chain of Responsibility pattern - this looks like it might be a fit for what I'm trying to do.
You might want to look at the visitor pattern -- if each of your product objects exposed a ProcessRule() method of some sort that would take the rule and apply it internally that could keep things real clean.

HYSPLIT Verification Results Using DATEM
Results Overview
The statistical results from running HYSPLIT for each of the tracer experiments in the DATEM archive are summarized in this section. If available, the 32 km North American Regional Reanalysis meteorological data were used for the computations, otherwise the 2.5 degree global reanalysis data were used. Two RANK statistics are tabulated for each experiment, a comparision with the paired in space-and-time data and the temporally averaged data which are only paired in space. The link to the RANK gives the complete statistical summary for that experiment. See the DATEM report on computational details. A perfect model would have a rank of four.

issues with cpan perl modules
Hey Guys,
I'm trying to install some modules using cpan (for perl) and are having all sorts of issues. In particular, it seems to be complaining about the untar process:
cpan[1]> install LWP
I've looked all over the net for this one, a few people have referenced the error, but there are no definitive answers. Any help would be appreciated (As solving dependencies by manually downloading all the modules is a right pain the the ass!).
Is build-essential installed?
or instead of mucking with CPAN, apt-get install libwww-perl?
yep, build-essential is installed.
I'm a little reluctant to go down the pre-packaged perl modules path unless they have _every_ module as deb packages. I don't want to get in a situation where im using some packages and some modules I've compiled myself...it gets rather messy quickly.
Using cpan is the ideal solution for me, so I'd prefer to get that working If I can.
Certain perl modules can confuse the cpan shell.
Usually module updates and module dependencies
will be installed too by cpan.
Which Linux are you using ?
Like Ubuntu 9.10 , CentOS 5.x etc.
We're in the Debian forum, so I assume Debian.
I've always avoided CPAN because it's never worked well for me.
Ok, stupid question, but have you tried this?
cpan[1]> get LWP
perl -e 'foreach (@INC){ system("find $_ -name *.pm") }' | grep LWP.pm
perl -MFile::Find=find -MFile::Spec::Functions -Tlwe \ 'find { wanted => sub { print canonpath $_ if /\.pm\z/ }, no_chdir => 1 }, @INC' | grep LWP
If the perl module you need isn't in an official repo you can check http://debian.pkgs.cpan.org/ , it usually works better than trying to build the modules yourself.
Or try take look at Building Debian packages of Perl modules - http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/78
Do you have tar installed? From the failure there is a potential that /bin/tar either doesn't exist or is a link pointing to a bad spot.
The error isn't specific to LWP, any module I try fails with the same reasons. Entering the directory where its working (/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/) shows the file which has not been extracted despite 'extracted successfully'. tar is definitely installed :)
I ended up just using debian modules as it turns out the one I was after was included in their repo's.
It'd still be nice to know why cpan doesnt work, but I suppose it's really for my own interest now. A quick google seems to suggest i'm not the only one with the issue (no solutions though).
Using Tar:/bin/tar xvf "libwww-perl-5.834.tar":
Couldn't untar libwww-perl-5.834.tar
That's the problem, it doesn't even get a chance to compile, the untar is failing, your tar is busted or your out of space in the directory its untarring in
# apt-get install perl-dev perl-modules
'perl-modules' provides ' Tar.pm '.
Check kernel memory
I had the same problem on a VM. The problem was a quota on the kernel memory. As a first shot shut down all services not needed (Database, Webserver,....) and try again.

Open Science, Open Software
October 19, 2010 | Posted by Microsoft Research Blog
Here in External Research, we collaborate with dozens of computer and research scientists around the world. Through these collaborations, we regularly ask the question, "How can software make you a better scientist?"
This seemingly simple question has evoked many exciting answers – and indeed drives the Research Accelerators we choose to incubate for the community.
Open Science
Scientists operate on a number of platforms, use a number of languages, and have to deal with many different types of data and data formats.
"Open Science" and the benefits of collaboration are changing scientific culture – the amount of data and knowledge being shared between scientists and across scientific disciplines is growing dramatically. In this increasingly collaborative climate, interoperability and standards are becoming progressively more important.
Software for scientists must meet these evolving needs.
Open Software
At the same time, Microsoft has been going through important changes. Many people don't realize that Microsoft now works with over 150 standards organizations and 350 working groups. Microsoft contributes to over 100 open source projects – including Linux, Samba, PHP, and IronPython – in the interest of improved interoperability. This is not the same Microsoft people remember from ten years ago.
(If these facts about Microsoft make you curious, you may be interested in my presentation "Ten Things You Don't Know About Microsoft," available at http://docs.com/@derickc.)
In our team in Microsoft Research (and many across Microsoft), we embrace the principles of "Open Software," so we can meet the needs of open science researchers. Open software has clear APIs, interoperability targets, and documented file and protocol formats, and has been developed collaboratively with its users.
(Incidentally, Microsoft server products and tools also have a public, highly formalized set of Common Engineering Criteria to improve integration, manageability, security, and reliability.)
Open Source
In several cases, open software can also be open source software. Open source software is helpful when your community is prepared to contribute and help drive development, and when the software is not too broad or complex for new developers to come up to speed.
Not all user communities include developers, and building open source software can add overhead to a project. Developers aren't standing by waiting to contribute to every new open source project that arrives. In fact, it's quite difficult to establish a community and find interested developers for an open source project. It requires additional investment and governance – plus people with great community leadership and management skills. There are no guarantees these investments will result in contributions. Accordingly, the decision to make a project open source should not be taken lightly.
In our team – External Research – community collaboration is why we exist. We bring academic and Microsoft research teams together to create communities and technologies that advance and accelerate science. As a result, developing open source software is often the right choice for our business and our academic collaborators. Most of our releases are open source.
As part of Microsoft, a company that earns revenue from software and intellectual property (IP) licensing, our team has additional challenges to overcome when we ship open source software.
These challenges are not unlike the challenges academics face when pursuing open science or running their own open source projects. Universities manage patent portfolios, incubate competitive startup businesses, and collaborate with commercial entities interested in protecting their IP.
So, how does one protect commercial IP while also investing in open source efforts? A good way is to pursue open source efforts through a third-party, nonprofit organization, such the Outercurve Foundation.
The Outercurve Foundation
The Outercurve Foundation was created as a forum in which open source communities and the software development community can come together with the shared goal of increasing participation in open source community projects. It's structured like a museum, with thematic galleries, each filled with projects that relate to the gallery theme.
I'm really excited to announce that we are opening a new gallery for Research Accelerators with the Outercurve Foundation – to help our team grow our open source software efforts.The anchor project in our gallery is our Scientific Workflow Workbench (code-named Project Trident). By assigning this project to the Outercurve Foundation, we hope to grow academic participation in its ongoing development.
So far, I've been really pleased with the reception academics have given to the Outercurve Foundation. We have two universities interested in collaborating on Trident so far, Professor Beth Plale of Indiana University and Susan Cuddy, a researcher with Australia's CSIRO Land and Water research organization. Professor Plale, a researcher in Indiana University's Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery II (LEAD II) research project, used Project Trident to provide workflows to support the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded Vortex2 project that gathers data on tornados.
Incidentally, if you develop open source software, you'll want to take a closer look at another Outercurve Foundation project sponsored by Microsoft called CoApp. CoApp will provide open source developers with tools for package management on Windows – enabling the entire ecosystem of open source software projects to be more easily installed and managed on Windows.
What's Next?
Our engineering team is always working on something new, or the next version of something cool and useful for scientists. We have a number of exciting projects in the works that you'll hear more about on this blog and at our events. Many of these projects will reside with the Outercurve Foundation as well, to help facilitate great academic/Microsoft collaborations.
Stay tuned for more!

Come, look with me inside this drawer,
In this box I've often seen,
At the pictures, black and white,
Faces proud, still, and serene.
I wish I knew the people,
These strangers in the box,
Their names and all their memories,
Are lost among my socks.
I wonder what their lives were like,
How did they spend their days?
What about their special times?
I'll never know their ways.
If only someone had taken time,
To tell, who, what, where, and when,
These faces of my heritage,
Would come to life again.
Could this become the fate,
Of the pictures we take today?
The faces and the memories,
Someday to be passed away?
Take time to save your stories,
Seize the opportunity when it knocks,
Or someday you and yours,
Could be strangers in the box.

About three decades ago I was taking a six-week writing class. My first assignment was to write a story that involved all the senses. While sitting at the kitchen table, a thunderstorm was rumbling in the distance, but I gave it no never mind because I thought sure it was following the river. As I sat thinking about the story I would write, without thinking, I was listening to the storm that seemed to be drawing near. Amid the sound of thunder and crackle of lightning, I found myself counting . . . "Okay, five seconds . . . it's time to take cover." I quickly looked out the window . . . it was the dreaded "white rain." The tall pine trees were bending, swaying, and there were waves forming on the lake.
I immediately gathered an old tattered shoebox with old photos that I had kept after the passing of my father and walked downstairs to take cover. I was always uneasy about looking inside the box. As I slowly took the lid off the box, the first photo atop was a portrait of a beautiful young woman, my mother. As I looked at each photo, I was all of a sudden conscious that I had no idea who the strangers were in the snapshots. For no apparent reason, I began separating them into stacks, and I found the largest stack was of the strangers. I was told that the one photo beneath my mother's was my grandmother, and I did not know her name. I began to think back to my childhood and ask questions, such as, "Who are my maternal grandparents"? My mother's family was always a mystery since she was from another state and taken from us at a young age.
By then, the storm had passed and that is when it all began for me . . . the genealogical questions. I had been bitten by the bug. As for my writing assignment, it was about that particular day and my quest of my mother's lineage. I later wrote a memoir about my mother and my maternal ancestors. It is funny about the turn of events . . . it's all about timing . . . His timing.
Transfers: Please read the Find A Grave FAQ regarding transfers. I do take care of all of the memorials I create, and will happily make edits, corrections, an add links.
Transfer requests should be for direct relatives within four generations (see the FAQ). All others please send corrections using the "Edit" tab at the top right of the memorial. Do not use public messages or direct emails as these do not include the necessary links to the memorials and your contributor page. Please include your email address in the correction notice, so that I may contact you if I have questions or need more information about the changes you are requesting.
Thanks, Bonnie

Bonnie, I belong to the Routh Cemetery Association. I have gone thru all of my info relating to the cemetery. The last known/recorded burial in this cemetery was in 1922. I have walked and helped clean up this cemetery many times. Even though there are 7 different Skiles buried here, I can not find a listing or a grave for Jacob Clemens Skiles (1823-1926)

Bonnie your memorial #104974657 I don't believe is correct. Charles T. Harris was born ca 1948 and in the 1850 census is two years old living with his parents Thomas H. and Martha E/. Harris. Could you give me your proof? Thanks

Are you a close relative of Mr. Skiles? Perhaps you may have some info regarding his military service during WW2?

RE: America H Chandler Row 102294030
Find A Grave has graciously combined the 2 cemeteries into one, which is only logical. There is one name for the cemetery with one office to run them. Please read the information page for the cemetery. If you do a name search the duplicates will be obvious. Do not worry about cemetery #1 or #2. Plot information would be the place to indicate that.

Hi Bonnie, I checked with the Roselawn Cemetery office in Denton and they do not have a record of Mary in their location. Would you check and see if she might be listed by a different name and let me know? I will leave the request claim open for me for now.

Jim Cooper believes the work of our government should be more transparent and open to ALL citizens, which is why he' s been a strong advocate for greater access to government records and information about how our tax dollars are being spent. He's pushed for public disclosure of all pork projects. He is one of the first members of Congress to post all of his District's budget requests on his congressional website. In addition, he's fighting for more honest reporting on the federal deficit and our federal debt. He has called for a return to stronger Congressional and executive branch oversight.

Karan Johar Upsets LGBTQ Community Through His Biography
Bollywood's well-known director Karan Johar recently released his tell all biography, The Unsuitable Boy. Little did he know that his confessions would upset a few sections of society.
The actor who is being lauded for coming out of the closet in the biography, in one statement says that in spite of being the poster boy for homosexuals, he did not wish to come out and tell people fearing an arrest. This statement has irked the LGBT community who have been striving hard for people to open up about their sexual orientation.
According to the law, involving in a homosexual act is crime but not one's sexual preference. Coming from a bigwig filmmaker like Karan, the activists feel that this could discourage more people from accepting the truth. According to popular activists such as Harish Iyer and Pallav Patankar's statements, Karan should have come out confidently, so as to empower the rest too.
Let's see how Karan reacts to the same.
