Question: "Why did the Israelites need manna if they had flocks/herds of animals that they could eat?"
Answer: In Exodus 9:1-7, the Bible tells us that the children of Israel had cattle or livestock while living as slaves in Egypt. And in Exodus 12:30-31, Pharaoh tells Moses to get out of Egypt after the final plague had been placed on Egypt and all their firstborn sons had died. Pharaoh even went so far as to tell the Israelites to take all that they had, including their flocks and their herds, possibly getting every trace that had to do with them out of Egypt. Yet as they wander in the wilderness, they complain and moan about not having enough to eat, and God deals with them with tremendous grace by providing manna (Exodus 16:1-5). Why, though, did they describe themselves as "starving" when they had flocks and herds of animals?
The fact is that the Bible doesn't explain why they did not—or could not—eat the animals from their flocks. For the sake of the argument we will ponder some possible answers even though Scripture is silent on the issue. First, it's possible that Israel had too much of the Egyptian ways in them, having been in captivity there for over 400 years. Egypt had a system in effect wherein they worshipped many animals, cattle among them. Soon after the exodus from Egypt, the children of Israel even worshipped a golden calf, fashioned by Aaron in the absence of Moses (Exodus 32:1-4). It's possible they were so steeped in Egyptian ways that they couldn't bring themselves to eat animals they worshipped.
Second, did they see their livestock as their source of income? They were shepherds, and they came from shepherds. No one would want to eat their source of income. Perhaps they were preserving their flocks and herds for when they came into the Promised Land and would once again be shepherds and herdsmen. If they ate up the source of all their income, they would be paupers and beggars in their new country. A third possibility is that they were just whining because they were tired of eating the same old thing all the time. Perhaps they just wanted some variety in their diet.
Whatever the reason, the point is that it wasn't meat that the Israelites lacked; it was faith. They wanted to go back to Egypt where they were "fed" (Numbers 11:4-6). Even though they were slaves in Egypt, they wanted to go back so they would not have to worry about where their next meal would come from. Another point is that they should have made the trip in 10 days (and probably had that much food) but it took 40 years because of rebellion and disobedience (Numbers 14:26-35). Nothing would please or satisfy the grumbling Israelites, not meat for a whole month, not all the flocks and herds, or all the fish in the sea.
Although God is silent as to why this happened, the lesson we learn from it is that God is faithful and supplies our needs, whatever they are, and it is not always what we want or think that we need. But He knows our greatest needs, and He knows what will sustain us and keep us safe. A case in point is the fact that the clothes and shoes of the Israelites did not wear out in the 40 years of desert wandering because God saw to it (Deuteronomy 8:4; Nehemiah 9:21). The manna stayed fresh so long as the people gathered it up according to His instructions, and water came out of a rock for them (Numbers 20:11). In the same way, God has promised to supply all our needs through His riches in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). We are not to worry about food because God knows what we need before we ask. Rather, we are to seek God and His kingdom, putting Him first and trusting in His faithfulness to provide what we need (Matthew 6:33; Luke 12:22-31).

Not much remains of the Pembina Lutheran Church following a fire late last weekWalhalla, ND (WDAY TV) - 1903. That's the year the big Pembina Lutheran Church was built.
By: Michael Yoshida, WDAY
Walhalla, ND (WDAY TV) - 1903. That's the year the big Pembina Lutheran Church was built.
Now, little more than ash and brick remain following a fire that destroyed the church late last week.
The church was a staple of the rural Walhalla community for over 100 years.
The hum of vehicles breaks the silence, as snow gently falls on what was once the Big Pembina Lutheran Church.
People gathered not for Sunday service but to see what they couldn't believe, the ghostly remains of their church which once stood tall… a beacon of their community.
Ray Rolliness/Church Member: "well almost like you lost somebody you know"
Omar Bjornstad/Oldest Living Church Member: "it's pretty shocking. I could hardly believe it."
Founded in 1885, the church congregation has long been a part of families in this close knit community.
Jerry Rollness/Church Member: "My grandparents went here. My parents and the last one baptized here would have been one of my grandsons."
Ray: "well I've been kind of a lifetime member. I was baptized here. Confirmed here. So we were pretty devastated to see something like this happen."
Bjornstad: "I was baptized, confirmed and married here and so was my wife."
Little more than ash and brick remain. But members say it's the memories that will last.
Jerry: "came here to worship every Sunday and we always had coffee or meals or something. Everybody visited after services."
Bjornstad: "I think way back when I was a kid. We come with horses sometimes and sleigh box."
Memories that will serve as reminders of the joy, laughs and love that occurred in the Big Pembina Church.
The fire is believed to have happened Thursday evening.
A cause has not been determined.
The big Pembina church was one of the oldest, active churches in the area.

Meeting Professionals International has introduced a Business Value of Meetings tool box, a collection of resources to help meeting planners prove the business value of their meetings and events.
MPI research found that fewer than 5 percent of all meetings are measured for their business value. The new tool box is designed to overcome the five primary barriers meeting professionals face in implementing practices that measure meeting value. Those barriers are low perception of return on investment, difficulty getting stakeholder buy-in, the challenge of defining meeting objectives and expectations, devising meaningful ways to measure value, and analyzing and reporting data on the business value of meetings.
Tools under development include
- instructional videos and podcasts;
- articles detailing solutions and examples of success;
- case studies and corresponding webinars on best practices; and
- how-to guides, tutorials, and workbooks that meeting professionals can use on specific jobs.
MPI members will have unlimited access to the new tools and nonmember professionals will be able to purchase them.
"By identifying these barriers, the research revealed a manageable path for MPI to lead event professionals down that will lay a strong foundation for the development of a more value-focused event portfolio," said Didier Scaillet, chief development officer, MPI. "Each of the tools and resources we are creating will build on this foundation, and empower people to approach their business in a smarter way that enables them to be more successful."
MPI delivered a BVOM research session at EIBTM 2011 in Barcelona, Spain. The next live event opportunity to explore the BVOM initiative will be at MPI's European Meetings and Events Conference, January 29–31, 2012, in Budapest, Hungary.

Courses of Study
Departments and Programs
Majors and Minors
In the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Physics studies nature and how things work on levels ranging from the smallest subatomic and atomic scales, through intermediate scales describing matter in its various forms, up to the largest astrophysical scales. Physics students acquire skills in mathematical calculation, experimental measurement and instrumentation, theoretical and numerical modeling, scientific writing, and oral presentation. Flexible major and minor programs are designed to fit within a liberal arts education and to provide preparation for careers or advanced training in science, teaching, business, medical professions, and engineering. The department welcomes students from all majors and with diverse backgrounds.
Emphasis is placed upon independent work and cooperative research with the faculty in atomic, molecular, and optical physics, condensed-matter physics, theoretical physics, and infrared astronomy. All faculty members have active research programs that thrive on undergraduate contributions. Research projects make use of the department's well-equipped laboratories, computer workstations, and supporting machine, electronic, and technical shops.
Requirements for the Physics MajorPhysics majors have a lot of flexibility in choosing the courses that are most appropriate for them. Students should work closely with their advisors in selecting courses to fulfill the requirements for the major. Not all upper-level elective courses are offered every year. Physics 415, taken in the fall of the senior year, involves completing an independent project, internship, or research in physics or a related field. All students are invited to attend the colloquia presented by faculty, senior students, and visiting scientists; senior physics majors are required to participate by enrolling in Physics 401, 402. The point scale for retention of the major applies to all courses taken that can satisfy the requirements listed below. No requirements for the major may be taken satisfactory/unsatisfactory. Physics majors receive Distinction in the Major upon graduating if they have a grade point average of at least 3.5 in physics and mathematics.
Required Physics Courses (unless exempted by advanced placement)
Honors Program in PhysicsIn the junior year, physics majors may apply for admission to the honors program. A 3.25 grade point average in physics and mathematics courses is normally required. Successful completion of the honors program will result in the degree being awarded "With Honors in Physics." A thesis completed as part of the Senior Scholars Program may be substituted for the honors thesis.
Requirements for the Honors MajorIn addition to fulfilling the requirements for the basic physics major, students must take three additional 300-level or higher physics courses and one additional 200-level or higher mathematics course. In fulfilling these requirements, students must take at least one upper-level experimental course (Astronomy 231, Physics 254, 333, or 334). In their senior year, they must also take Physics 483-484 Independent Honors Project in the place of Physics 415. A written honors thesis is required.
Students considering graduate school in physics or astronomy are strongly encouraged to take all of the following courses: Mathematics 253, 302, 311, 352, Physics 254, 311, 321, 332, and 431.
Requirements for the Minor in PhysicsPhysics 141 (or 143), 145, 241, 242 (or a physics course numbered 300 or above), Mathematics 121 (or 161), 122 (or 162).
Effective for the Class of 2012, no requirements for the physics minor may be taken satisfactory/unsatisfactory.

Bad Service And The Worst Customer Service Imaginable
Posted by Notgivingthisout on 06/12/2013
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Honestly, the WORST customer service I have ever dealt with in my entire life. If you would like to be charged for services you're not even signed up for, spoken down to over the phone on a monthly basis, and burdened with having to call EACH MONTH to fix numerous shortcomings on RCN's end, then this company is perfect for you!
I moved into an apt on the East side in November and in the past 7 months, I have only received a correct bill ONCE from RCN. Some of their mistakes entail:
1) Several months, we were charged for services we didn't even have/sign up for
2) One month, our wireless box died and we were instructed that we had to wait "2 weeks for someone to come out or travel to an RCN store to pick up a new one" (which we inevitably visited since we rely on wireless for our work) and were promised a discount for our services that month... which we never saw.
3) We called to program the RCN remote to our new TV and instead of walking us through the instructions, the RCN representative cancelled ALL of our services and then apologized as she transferred us to someone else so he/she could fix HER mistakes (we were, no joke, on the phone with RCN for 1.5 hours fixing the mistakes she made that night).
4) One day, we were called and told that we needed to update our phone. Fine. We signed up for the 11AM-2PM window and the RCN representative came at 8 AM! Once I was informed of this by our doorman, I called the company and informed them of their mistake, to which they apologized and offered to send someone else out. The next person begrudgingly paid us a visit and insisted that we needed a new phone number for the new phone cables he was installing (we were never told about this in advance). Fine. He replaces the phone and instructs us to call RCN sometime later that month to ensure we're not getting billed for 2 phone lines... really? This is our responsibility?
5) We recently switched the main name on the account since a roommate of mine was moving out and RCN DOUBLE-BILLED us! When I called and asked why we received a bill for the same amount the following week (we had paid the total last week under my roommate's name since we are very punctual about bill payments) assuming this was the last bill under her name, we were told that we would have to pay the second bill we received, that RCN would not cancel our old checks (we would have to wait on them to issue us a refund check.. like THAT would ever happen.. or pay out of pocket to cancel our checks when all we were doing was following orders!), and that we would be charged a late fee if we chose to wait for the refund before we paid that month's bill. The representative also warned us that we may have to call RCN and remind them next month since "they're likely to forget" even though she wrote this down in the notes section of our account!!!! Essentially, RCN mistakenly double-billed us, we responsibly paid the first bill on time, and they threatened US with a late fee if we didn't pay the "correct" bill on time. They refused to transfer the funds over to the new account. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.
6) Our last bill was FOUR TIMES higher than it's supposed to be, and we added ZERO services nor did any promotion expire. Why are we suddenly being charged more? Your guess is as good as mine.
All in all, YOU will be penalized for RCN's shortcomings. The company is absolutely horrendous and the customer service is appalling. We are desperately searching for a new cable/wireless provider because dealing with RCN has proven to be more of a nightmare than any of us would've ever imagined. Please, spare yourselves the trouble. Even if it costs a bit more money to track down a different provider, it will be well worth it in the end.

HERNDON, VIRGINIA -- RCN Web Mail is simply terrible.
I have been a customer for 15+ years (Before RCN) purchased Erols. The past few years web mail service has been literally atrocious.
About 1 month ago, I got into an email conversation with a customer service representative who finally relented and said she knew of the problem because many customers were complaining and that they were aware of the latency problem for some time and were working on resolving it.
It got so, that I recently mailed a letter to the President and CEO complaining about the so-called "service". In the letter I told him RCN's service was literally driving me away to another ISP.
I got a phone call back from his assistant who said they were working on fixing the problem. No Cigar!!!
After being a customer for 15+ years, I'm gone!!!

They should be left out on a log to die!

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- I am still holding with RCN and it has been 53 minutes so far waiting for a sign of intelligent life.
I had my wallet stolen and called RCN to change my credit card number with them so they would automatically charge me each month. It was my misfortune that I spoke with remedial woman who screwed something up and I fell out of auto pay and lost my monthly billing rate and now they are trying to charge me almost twice as much for service as well as a $10 penalty for their incompetency.
When I signed up for RCN internet the lying sack of crap told me that their wireless router was the only one that would work with the RCN system. I was one of the Carnival suckers that believed her and have since learned that that was a bold face lie.
Several times I had called the RCN office because I kept getting an error message from Netflix that there was insufficient band width to steam a movie. The unsound mind of Frankenstein kept running tests on the modem telling me it was working well and that it must be Netflix. I had a friend take me to get a different wireless router and I have never had that problem again. For four months I had lived with this problem.
Once this problem was brought to their attention I was issued a credit for what I had spent on the router rental. This would have been fine except that they keep forgetting to credit my bill and was given every excuse in the book as to why they were unable to refund my money.
So here I still sit on hold clocking in 64 minutes waiting for the next idiot to try to insult my intelligence. I only can hope and pray that Comcast will be better.
It feels good to dream.

RCN illegal charges and technical support
Posted by Zueltto on 09/28/2010
On the 24th of September I made a payment arraignment with RCN also known as Starpower Telecom: I was going to pay $119.00, which I did with an electronic check in their website. Before I made the payment I confirm with the RCN billing or financial dept who assure me that if I pay the same day the $119.00 my service was not going to be disconnected or interrupt and that I was not going to be charge any reconnection fee.
Four days later I found out that I was charged $290.00 from my checking account to cover the past due balance I had in my RCN account. After endless calls and discussions with supervisors they that "they did not know what happened".
I find out the same day taking with a supervisor that in addition to the illegal money they took from my account, they charge me $20+ for the disconnection of the system.
I work at home so I know that the internet and or the telephone, was never interrupt, but according to the supervisor from RCN, I was disconnected and immediately connected again and charge $20.00 behind my back. Even if I had payment arraignment with the company.
While this was happening two technicians, in different occasions, were trying to work on how to repair my internet and phone system, because it did not work properly and was constantly interrupted.
This technical problem occurred at the same time that RCN was taking the $290.00+ and also was charging me the $20+ for the "disconnection" of the system that never happened.

If you were behind you were talking to someone in their collections department. NEVER believe a word a collector tells you and NEVER give them your credit card or checking account information.

Embarassing New York City Ineptitude
Posted by Rcnsucksmoose on 01/30/2010
Hard to believe but several hundred customers have had serious internet problems for DAYS in the heart of New York city. They don't tell you anything about what is or will be done. After the long outage they tell you that they will be gracious to not bill you on these days (wow, as if I needed to call six times to know I wasn't paying for these days!) They don't have any plan to fix the Internet in any expeditious fashion - in New York City? Are you kidding me? Try to cancel service - they have limited hours that this department is open, M-F only, of course.
I've never seen anything like it. Shocking but true. This is why I have to run out now and get broadband cable because RCN has no clue when the problem will be fixed. They are offering to send people out later this week. A week outage?

Is this a complete the sentence quiz? "It is really ... my fault for not sending a certified, return receipt letter verifying I cancelled the service" or "It is really . . . my fault for not noticing the billing was still coming the following month."
Does anyone else have a completion for this complete the sentence quiz?

Worst Service
Posted by Z123456 on 12/17/2008
MASSACHUSETTS -- I ordered RCN internet five months ago and everything was working fine until two week ago. It was down for one weekend and then it is occasionally down for night (I am not at home during the day time though). Even when it is working, the speed is slow (~800K out of claimed 1.5M) and doesn't support the VPN connection to my company any more. While the worst part is that you can't find people to help. I called the tech support number (1-866-832-4726) three times during 6pm-10pm in three days and had waited for 20, 50, and 30 minutes respectively but only heard the recorded message and no live person picked up the phone. I have given up my hope for this company to fix my problem.
The only worry I have right now is whether I could find a live person to cancel the service tomorrow.

Billing Dispute
Posted by Tae on 01/29/2008
DARBY, PENNSYLVANIA -- I have been with RCN since 2003, I change from basic plan for phone services to Unlimited Regional and Unlimited Local package in 2006. With the basic plan I was charged for every local call I made, so in an effort to save money I contacted RCN and sold on the bundled package which included *UNLIMITED REGIONAL & UNLIMITED LOCAL* calling. I have made several calls to RCN complaining about the service. The problem, I am unable to dial my cell phone number or my daughters cell phone number from my home phone. The cell phone numbers are within my *UNLIMITED CALLING AREA* I have spent more then 6 hours trying to correct this issue.
I was able to get a tech service rep who was willing to listen to me and the CODES that are required to make the *UNLIMITED REGIONAL & LOCAL SERVICE* work were added to my account 01/2008 the codes should have been added to my account when the service was changed in 02-16-2006. I was told to contact the billing department and report the findings and that my account would be credited.
I contacted the billing department and was told by *RACHEL* that there was nothing that could be done. The mistake was discovered more then 30 days later, which will not allow them to credit my account. However, I have been billed for more then 2 years for a service I did not have.
I am sure that there are others out there that are paying for this package and not getting the service. If you are one of them send me an email.
I am in the process of writing a letter to all the RCN executives, the following information can be found on the following link which is open for the public:
I have added the names below:
Peter Aquino , 46
Chief Exec. Officer, Pres, Director and Member of Exec. Committee
Mr. Michael T. Sicoli , 37
Chief Financial Officer and Exec. VP
Mr. John D. Filipowicz , 49
Pres of Residential Markets
Mr. Richard Ramlall , 52
Sr. VP of Strategic and External Affairs
Mr. John S. Dubel , 49
Chief Operating Officer
The only address that I could find on-line is:
RCN Corp.
196 Van Buren Street
Herndon, VA 20170
Phone number: 703-434-8200

Godawful service, terrible customer service
Posted by AMF on 09/07/2007
Don't call tech support unless you want to hear that there are no outages (first call), still no outages (second call), okay, outages but only on my account (third call), and finally system-wide outages (fourth call) but they have no idea when they will be fixed.
You also get to spend huge amounts of time on hold and get put to people who don't speak/understand English that well.

RCN may go under before the end of the year. A few weeks ago their biggest investor withdrew support.
Posted by Keiko on 2007-11-09:
Apparently RCN outsources to the Philipines so I'm guessing it takes a while to get word in the Philipines that there is a service outage in Chicago. But try and ask for a local customer service number and they repeat how can I assist you? YOU CAN'T from the Philipines!

Jazzkaar 2011: Tallinn, Estonia, Days 1-3
April 20: Punkt at Jazzkaar, Day One
While Punkt Festivalthe live remix festival that's heading into its seventh year in its hometown of Kristiansand, Norwayestablished a name for innovation early on, its reputation continues to grow, and in ever expanding circles. Co-Artistic Directors Jan Bang and Eric Honoré have been collaborating with better-known artists like England's David Sylvian since earlier in the 2000s, but the last few years have seen the expansion of the "Punkt Family" beyond all expectations. In 2010, in addition to having Björk/Madonna producer Guy Sigsworth participating in live remixes, saw Led Zeppelin bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones deliver a brief solo setunexpected, as he'd come to the festival as an attendee, but became so enthralled with what he saw that he simply had to participateand an even more unexpected sit-in with Norwegian improvising group Supersilent. Punkt 2011 will see Jones return for a full solo set, and Sylvian is attending for the first time, as Artist in Residence, contributing an installation at the town's art gallery, but also curating an entire evening of the festival, bringing in a number of artists who participated on his last album, the remarkable Manafon (Samadhisound, 2009).
Segakoor Noorus
But Punkt has also driven its concept of "no borders" into the realm of classical music, more than once, with past performers including British composer Gavin Bryars and the 2011 edition promising a performance of Being Dufay (ECM, 2009), by singer John Potter and electronic composer Ambrose Field. The 2010 edition in Kristiansand brought Estonian composer Veljo Tormis to the festival, along with the Segakoor Noorus, the large Estonian choir, adding yet another new dimension to the festivaland grist for a stunning remix from Norwegian experimental singer Maja S.K. Ratkje.
And so it seemed fitting, when Punkt was invited to Tallinn as part of its 2011 European Capital of Culture celebrations, that it should revisit the collaboration once again. With a number of Norwegians on hand for the remixes, and a live performance of Bang's beautiful debut, ...and poppies from Kandahar (SamadhiSound, 2010)along with Bang and Honoré, trumpeter Arve Henriksen, singer Sidsel Endresen and guitarist Eivind Aarset, visual artist Tord Knutsen, and sound engineer Johnny SkallebergPunkt made a first trip to Tallinn, as it has London and Mannheim in previous years. It's a movable feast, but not one that just brings its Norwegian culture to distant destinations. Instead, Punkt looks to expand its network of artists, and so, other than Bang's Poppies show, the other three performances that were to be used as fodder for live remixing were all Estonian.
From left: Jan Bang, Fiona Talkington
The first evening, in addition to Segakoor Noorus, also featured Ensemble U:, a six-piece chamber ensemble performing new music compositions by Estonian composers. Because of the delicate nature of some of U:'s music, it was not possible for Knutsen to use his video projector to create the visual imagery that's as much a part of Punkt as the music; but the opening performance, by Segakoor Noorus, made clear just how integral Knutsen's visual arts are, and how they define Punkt as much as any of its other markers. It also made Punkt in Tallinn a little more "Punkt" than its trip to Mannheim, in the fall of 2009; a fine festival, to be sure, but without the visuals, somehow a little less than the entire package.
The host of BBC Radio's Late Night Junction, Fiona Talkington, introduced the evening, with a brief explanation of Punkt and the concept of live remix. It's hard to appreciate just what it means without actually experiencing it; a live musical laboratory where the music of one performance inspires musicians of another to take fragments of the same music to other places, often impossible to imagine by the performers of the source material. Segakoor Noorus' set was similar to its September 3, 2011 set in Kristiansand, even ending with the same piece, the dark and angular "We Are Given," though the choir was dressed in slightly more contemporary fare, and not the traditional dresses, worn by the women, and Amish-like black suits, worn by the men, in Kristiansand. The performance in Tallinn's Mustpeade Majaan old venue with a concert space seating approximately 350, and another space, used as the Alpha Room for the live remixes, seating a smaller numberwas, unlike Kristiansand's Agder Theatre, entirely acoustic, with only a couple of microphones, high above the audience, used to capture the choir for the remix.
The choral tradition in Estonia runs deepcenturies old, in fact. But while Tormis' writing is unequivocally reflective of that tradition, it's equally modern, one reason why the composer, having just celebrated his 80th birthday in 2010, is one of the country's most famous, aside from, perhaps, Arvo Pärt. With a mixed choir, his music could be whisper-quiet or maelstrom-like in its intensity. Singers created pulses with repeated phrases like "Too-wa, too-wa, too-wah," and there were times where the music felt more like a contrapuntal conversation than melody-driven song.
Erik Honoré
But there were moments of sheer lyricism, in particular early in the set, when a single soprano was featured. But for the most part, it was ensemble work that drove the choir, as it made its way through a 40-minute set drawn from albums including Forgotten Peoples (ECM, 1992) and Litany to Thunder (ECM, 1999). Conductor Raul Talmar was as animated as he was in Kristiansand, coaxing the best out of the choir. And, while it was, perhaps, a less momentous event for Tormis to stand and be recognized at the end of the set, compared to his appearance in Kristiansand, it was still a moving opportunity to watch him receive his due, from both an appreciative audience and the choir who so clearly loves and understands his music.
Maja Ratkje's single-woman remix in Kristiansand, took the choir's performance to places Tormis would likely never have conceived (but clearly appreciated); in Tallinn, Bang, Honoré, Aarset and Henriksen delivered a remix that demonstrated just how differently a near-identical set of music could be interpreted. In the true spirit of Punkt, while a choral loop formed the starting point for the remix, it wasn't long before the performers began to extrapolate beyond its boundaries, and as the loop was gradually removed from the mix, it became a mesh of Aarset's subtle soundscapes, Henriksen's melancholy lyricism, and a less-than-obvious pulse that, as ever, Bang seemed to be moving to long before it began to become clear to the audience. Dark dissonance and otherworldly sounds blended with melodic concerns and soft cushions of texture. Then, out of the ether, a solo voice suddenly emergedthe soprano from the choira tone so pure as to push the remix into another direction, as it suddenly blended with choral support in an atmosphere of seeming stasis. The solo voice was then harmonized and looped seamlessly, as Henriksen's soft, shakuhachi-toned horn began to push the dynamic again, his dense lines sampled and fed back by Bang in real time, gaining density and volume, while Aarset created deep, low-end rumbles, pushing towards an evolving but cross-rhythmic series of pulses.
Ensemble U:'s Taavi Kerikmäe
For the Punkt initiates, both the choral performancein particular, because much of the audience would have been familiar with itand the ensuing remix were the perfect examples of what Punkt is about. While remixes are experiments and, as such, don't always succeed, this one was a tremendous opener, and set a high bar for the rest of the two evenings' remixes.
Since forming in 2002, Ensemble U: has focused its attention on contemporary classical composition, bringing the music of composers like Stockhausen, Xenakis and Cage to Estonian audiences. Founded by pianist Taavi Kerikmäealso a busy performer on the free improvisation sceneand flautist Tarmo Johannes, Ensemble U: has released two CDs to date, with a focus on bringing attention to fellow Estonians including Helena Tulve, Märt-Matis Lill and Tauno Aints.
Its forty-minute set presented no shortage of challenges; while aspects of the performance, especially the second piece, Tulve's "Stream 2," felt, at times, like there was a strong improvisational component, and that time was a hard commodity to come by, it was clear, by Johannes' body language throughout the piece, that time was, indeed, an element, as cellist Levi-Danel Mägila, violinist Merje Rooomere, clarinetist Helena Tuuling and percussionist Vambala Krigul focused intently on the flautist. Flittiing string lines, percussively hit by bows, were mirrored by the flautist and clarinetist, who used small rocks to tap out their own rhythms, while Kerikmäe's prepared piano combined with Krigul's combination of tuned and unturned percussion, to create an oblique aural landscape.
Ensemble U:, from left: Helena Tuuling, Tarmo Johannes
When Bang was interviewed for All About Jazz in 2010, he talked about the various criteria that he and Honoré searched for, as possible grist for live remix, and it was clear, from the start of Ensemble U:'s closing piece, Valdimir Tarnopolski's "O, PärtOp Art," that this would be the piece drawn on most for the remix to follow. An homage to Pärt's tintinabulism, the piece revolved around a simple minor chord, its notes played by individual instruments, and with relative brevity, initially with almost interminable space between them, but gradually coalescing over time, into a cascading series of notes, played as longer tones. That it was the performance's most consonant piece was one potential reason to choose it, but more importantly, the very space that defined it, and which left plenty of room for a remix to look at stretching time, and filling in some of the spaces.
The Ensemble U: performance was defined by a remarkable patience, as different instruments cued partners in alternating pairsclarinet and violin, followed by clarinet and cello, and finally by clarinet and fluteas the entire ensemble gradually moved, with a singular purpose, to a gentle peak, only to reverse the trip, and move towards greater use of silence between notes.
And so, as the crowd made its way to the Alpha Room, where the remixes took place, Bang, Honoré and Endresen began their remix, built around the simple chord of " O, PärtOp Art." Ensemble U:'s performance was filled with long pauses, the remix began to build more quickly into an ethereal but more note-dense space, Endresen beginning with a simple, four-note motif, Bang sampling her voice and sending it back looped and staggered to create something of a vocal tour de force. Endresen's evolution from a more conventional singer to truly one of the great contemporary vocal innovatorscreating miniature cells of sound, articulation or texture, and gradually bringing them together into an expanding arsenal of modular sounds, driven by a voice that may be capable of odd, guttural utterance and sibilance, but is equally capable of sonorous beautyhas been especially important over the past half decade or so, with her distinctive language first documented on albums like Merriwinkel (Jazzland, 2005) and One (Sofa, 2007).
Sidsel Endresen
But it seems that even in the space of relatively short periods of timelike the distance between her Punkt 2010 duo performance with guitarist Stian Westerhus and nownew ground continues to be broken, both in her finding new cells and her ability to continue creating new permutations and combinations. Her remarkable timbral breadth, control and a seemingly endless wellspring of ideas provided their own grist for Honoré and Bang, who created polyrhythms, panned across the stereo field. And just when it seemed as though there was nowhere left to go, the trio took a soft left turn, as one series of ideas faded and a new series began.

Dogs love playing with other animals and with these great animal shapes! Thanks to our special injection molding technology, we are able to produce impressively realistic alligators and hedgehogs with very distinctive features.
Fun for owners to buy, these totally edible toys are enjoyable to give and much appreciated by dogs. Whats more, the variety of textures keeps dogs interested in chewing for longer, enabling the many small protrusions on the alligator and hedgehog shapes to get right in between the teeth to do a thorough cleaning job.
As with all Paragon products, these treats help to promote good dental care. Naturally vegetable-based and containing no chemical additives, they are designed to help clean the teeth and freshen the breath by encouraging dogs to indulge in their natural instinct to chew.

Carey has been going full-throttle since she could walk. Her youth was spent dancing and swimming competitively until she went to the University of Pittsburgh and started rowing. Over the next decade, she committed herself 100% to the sport and made the Pan American and Us Rowing National Team. After Carey retired from rowing at the elite level, she was desperate to find something that was fun, challenging, and empowering. Then she found CrossFit. It was everything she wanted from a sport – coaching, programming, a community and goals. Through CrossFit, she was able to find her true passion, coaching, which led her to become the head coach of CrossFit South Arlington.
In her opinion, fitness has the ability to change people's attitudes towards themselves and others. When we feel fit, we are better people in our work environments, our families and our personal relationships. She loves being the person who helps someone else's true essence shine through so that s/he can create change in the world. Her love for coaching is rewarded on a continual basis by watching her athletes do something s/he never dreamed possible. The look of surprise and delight on her/his face is priceless. She gets these moments each and every day, and it makes her heart sing. No medal, race, or competition can ever compete with that experience.
Her dream is to take CrossFit to the elite level in other sports. Change the way people train so that they are better runners, cyclists, swimmers, rowers, etc. She believes that CrossFit is an amazing tool to help people make advancements in their preferred sport and their lives.

Copper, a barometer for the global economy, broke a key support level, signaling more selling ahead for the metal and possibly stocks and other risk assets.
"Today copper has been weak because the IMF came out with lower expectations of the euro zone economy and the IMF is saying we don't see great physical demand at this time," said George Gero, an analyst with RBC.
Copper fell more than 3.5 percent and closed at $3.1875, its first close below the key support level of $3.20 since October 2011. Copper has moved down in the commodities shakeout that knocked more than 2 percent off the price of oil Wednesday. Gold attempted to stabilize at a higher level, but it was also lower on the day.
(Read More: Cramer: The Gold Market Is Being 'Frozen')
The IMF's downgrade of global growth projections for this year and next was the latest negative for the metal, which has been weakened by the downward spiral in gold and other commodities. Weaker-than-expected GDP from China earlier this week and a revision by Moody's on the outlook for China to stable from positive was also a negative, since the country accounts for about 40 percent of global copper consumption. A decline in European auto sales was also a factor.
"When I look at copper, it reminds me a lot of gold before that big breakdown," said Richard Ross, global technical analyst at Auerbach Grayson. "When we look at levels like $3.20 in copper, that's the low level of the trading range that has held since the summer and fall of 2011. We tested that level in 2012, but really this is the first significant break in two years.This would be akin to and displays some technical symmetry to gold below $1,540. … As we saw when you broke below that level, it opened the floodgates to an extremely fast move down. I think copper is setting itself up for precisely that type of move."
Traders saw another move as a warning earlier this month, when the 50-day moving average crossed the 200-day—another negative sell signal.
"The world economy looks like it's slowing down," said Art Cashin, UBS director of floor operations. "You can talk all about the whipsaw of gold, but all these commodities are telling us that China and the rest of the world is slowing down. You want to be cautious about it" when it comes to the stock market, he said.
Stocks have been choppy since commodities began their downward spiral. The S&P 500 was off 1.5 percent Wednesday, after sharp swings Monday and Tuesday.
(Read More: Scary Pattern May Be Forming on S&P Chart)
The VIX, the market's fear meter, also jumped sharply Wednesday, and it is sometimes viewed as a caution about stock market declines.
(Read More: VIX Is Getting Ready to Take Market on a Wild Ride)
"Given the momentum that we're seeing, I would think a test of $3 is imminent, and any break below $3 would have to be extremely bearish—not just for copper but more importantly as a macro proxy for the emerging markets, the global growth story, commodities as an asset class and China," Ross said.
But copper doesn't have a huge retail presence the way gold does, so the metal's downward turn has not been sudden.
"I think most of the business in copper has been the professional business," Gero said. "They were hedging all day, and while they were selling they bought back at the end of the day [Tuesday]. The only thing they were doing was hedging against all the other metals selling off."
"Meanwhile, the dealers are hedging, and the miners who have not hedged are getting hurt because they haven't hedged," Gero said, adding that sentiment in copper has soured quickly from just a few weeks ago.
"Everybody thought the rebuilding from the storms, the tsunamis and Chinese demand was really going to take out a lot of copper. A month ago, we had better car sales, good for copper, better home sales, good for copper. So for a while, people thought copper was going to do better," he said. (Track Commodities Here)

What Open Source Hadoop Coming to Windows Means to IT
Hadoop is nearly synonymous with the analysis of big data. The Hortonworks Data Platform on Windows is significant as it means that companies lacking Linux expertise will finally be able to benefit from the big data analysis platform, which has been out of the reach of Windows shops.
Mon, May 13, 2013
CIO — Big data analysis has exploded onto the business stage over the last 12 months or so, and one of the most important Big Data analysis platforms is the open source Apache Hadoop project. It's generally run on Linux, and it's used by some big-name companies, including Yahoo!, Facebook and Twitter.
Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) for Windows
What's about to change over the next few months is that Hadoop is coming to Windows in the form of Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) for Windows, a fully supported open source Hadoop distribution that runs on Windows Server. (Hortonworks, a California-based company, is a sponsor of and contributor to the Apache Hadoop project, and it already offers its Linux-based HDP distribution on a commercial basis.)
[Related: Hadoop Is Not Just for Linux Anymore]
This will open up Hadoop to a large number of organizations that have no in-house Linux skills. Shaun Connolly, vice president of Corporate Strategy at Hortonworks, explains the thinking behind moving HDP to Windows in this way: "Essentially it's a market-driven decision," he says. "Hadoop is built for the scaleout commodity hardware market, and the commodity hardware market is 70% Windows by install base and expertise."
Employees in Windows-only companies will be able to make use of Hadoop easily because Excel can be used as a business intelligence tool to view the results of Hadoop Big Data analysis (whether Hadoop is running on Windows or Linux). "Ideally we want Microsoft users to be oblivious to the fact that everything is coming from Hadoop," says Connolly. "If end users can consume data without any learning curve, thanks to tools like Excel, then they get more value."
[Related: Microsoft Brings Big Data to Windows]
Windows shops will also be able to benefit from Hadoop on Windows because IT staff with Windows skills will be able to write Hadoop applications using Microsoft's VisualStudio and .Net framework, without the need for any Linux expertise. (As an aside, both Hortonworks' and Microsoft's Windows offerings are 100% Apache Hadoop -- there have been no tweaks to the code--so any Linux Hadoop app could easily be ported to Windows, Connolly says.)
But it turns out that HDP for Windows is not the only way that Hadoop is coming to Windows. Microsoft has been working behind the scenes with Hortonworks since late 2011, and the Redmond giant is about to release its own distribution of Hadoop which it calls HDInsight. This will be available as a service running in the company's Azure cloud, or as a product that's intended to be used as the basis of an on-premise private cloud Hadoop installation.

Word for the Travel Wise (05/09/06)
Today's word is a Sinhala word used in Sri Lanka:
a da - today
English is spoken by ten percent of the population and Sinhala is the official and national language of the country. I've actually never tried to learn this one much, but judging from the alphabet it looks like a challenge. Omniglot has a great starter page on learning all the characters and use of this English to Sinhala dictionary could slowly help in distinguishing common travel words. Let's Speak Sinhala offers lessons at a very small and reasonable fee. They appear to be one of the better Sinhala language learning websites.
