The end portions of chromosomes, called telomeres, contain repeating sequences of DNA that protect the chromosomes from damage, said Toru Nakamura, a CU-Boulder researcher, Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientist and lead author on the study. Since portions of the telomeres are lost each time a cell divides, telomere shortening is thought to act as a molecular clock of sorts by signaling the cell to stop dividing after repeated cell divisions.
But the telomerase enzyme counteracts telomere shortening by adding DNA back onto the chromosome ends, he said. Normal cells do not contain telomerase, and their telomeres shorten with each cell division until they stop dividing. In cancer cells, however, telomerase is thought to grant the cell immortality by maintaining telomere length so that the cell never receives a signal to stop dividing.
"Correlation of telomerase activity and cancer has been shown previously, but there has been little evidence for a causal relationship between the two," said Nakamura. "Having the human telomerase gene may aid in testing the relationship."
The discovery of the gene for the protein called Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase is reported in the Aug. 15 issue of Science.
Authors of the Science paper include Nakamura, Joachim Lingner and Thomas Cech of CU-Boulder and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and Gregg Morin, Karen Chapman, Scott Weinrich, William Andrews and Calvin Harley of Geron Corp. of Menlo Park, Calif.
Before the discovery of the telomerase gene, "Cancer researchers knew telomerase only indirectly, by following the reaction it catalyzed," said Cech, who shared the 1989 Nobel prize for chemistry. "Now we have the ability to make lots of pure telomerase to understand its properties and learn how to inhibit it."
The team cloned telomerase genes in two evolutionarily diverse species, yeast and humans. The genes were found to be similar, indicating telomerase was first developed by an ancient organism and subsequently inherited by all eukaryotes -- organisms whose cells have a separate nucleus and cytoplasm, including humans.
"It means that studies on simple organisms like yeast are relevant to the human enzyme," said Cech. Telomerase contains both RNA and protein components. The RNA portion of the enzyme binds to the DNA in the telomere while the protein component lures DNA subunits into the region and attaches them to the end of the chromosome. "The protein we describe in our paper forms a complex with the telomerase RNA and does the job of telomeric DNA synthesis," said Nakamura.
Telomerase belongs to a class of enzymes known as reverse transcriptases that use RNA as a template for creating DNA. Retroviruses like HIV also belong to this class. Since reverse transcriptases share a common amino acid sequence, they are expected to have similar three-dimensional structures. This indicates that variants of "inhibitors such as AZT developed for treatment of AIDs may be able to inhibit telomerase," Nakamura said.
Many researchers believe telomerase's most promising application may be in diagnosing cancer. By developing ways to detect telomerase activity in cells, it may be possible to diagnose cancer before palpable tumors have formed.
But Nakamura urges caution in heralding telomerase as the newest cure for cancer. "Nothing has been shown to work yet," he said.

Gary Carlos was looking for ideas to help his San Joaquin Delta College art students create something with cardboard.
Gary Carlos was looking for ideas to help his San Joaquin Delta College art students create something with cardboard.
What he discovered was a heartwarming video about a 9-year-old boy that had gone viral and spawned a movement.
"Caine's Arcade" tells the story of a little boy who turned the empty boxes at his dad's auto supply store in East Los Angeles into arcade games. When Nirvan Mullick stopped into the store to buy a replacement door handle, he became Caine Monroy's first - and only - customer.
So moved was Mullick by Caine's ingenuity and creativity that he made a short movie about him, culminating with a flash mob at the arcade that Mullick orchestrated. Hundreds of people showed up to play Caine's games, and a movement was born.
Mullick initiated a drive to establish a college fund for Caine, which drew more than $250,000, and he started the Imagination Foundation to promote using children's natural creativity and imagination to produce more entrepreneurs.
"I always find viral videos about two weeks late," Carlos said. "I was so taken with it, my son (5-year-old Francisco) and I watched it and spent the summer making cardboard arcade games. He had a blast."
Carlos wants others to enjoy the same activity and has initiated local involvement in the Global Cardboard Challenge and Day of Play on Saturday at the Children's Museum of Stockton. Organized by Imagination Foundation to celebrate the first anniversary of the flash mob, it invites the world to play and celebrate creativity and imagination.
Carlos and some of his Delta students will lead workshops, teaching children and their parents how to make cardboard games. Children who've already joined others the world over are invited to bring games they have made to be part of an arcade at the museum that will stay up until the games fall apart.
The first 40 children who arrive on Saturday with self-made games will be admitted free. Admission for others is $5. The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Carlos' workshops are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
A donation jar for Imagination Foundation will be there, but Carlos said the two main reasons for his organizing the event are to energize the museum with new exhibits and to tap into local children's imaginations.
He's built pinball machines based on Caine's arcade and Pinewood Derby cars to run on the derby track that already exists.
Carlos envisions children creating games the way his 5-year-old did. Francisco made ball tossing and ball rolling games by cutting holes in cardboard boxes that hold sodas.
"That's how simple it was," Carlos said. "A lot of times kids see an art project and it's too complex. This little boy came up with this all on his own. It's from a kid's perspective. That's why it's taken off. Kids are seeing what kids are doing as opposed to kids seeing what adults are doing.
"They can grasp taking a cardboard box, cutting a couple of holes in it and rolling or throwing a ball in it. It's basic. They can figure it out."

ἄνευ ποδῶν ἐπ᾿ ὤμοις φέρονται ἐνδεικνύμενοι τὴν ἑαυτῶν ἀτιμίαν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, αἰσχύνονταί τε καὶ οἱ θεραπεύοντες αὐτὰ διὰ τό, μήποτε ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν πέσῃ, δι᾿ αὐτῶν ἀνίστασθαι·
Without feet they are carried on shoulders, showing their disgrace to the people, so even those who serve them are ashamed because it [the pagan idol] is caused to stand by them [i.e., by the attendants], lest it fall to the ground.
The δια το is followed by an embedded clause, set off by commas, complete with its own finite verb, and even another instance of the same preposition δι' which is not part of the δια το + infinitive construction.
In trying to find other similar situations I've experimented with several searches. The following one does return the Baruch 6:25 example, but none other.
"διὰ το" <AND> <WITHIN 0 Words> ., <FOLLOWED BY> <WITHIN 4-10 Words> [verb infin]
I have a couple of questions. First, is this a valid search for the construction I'm looking for? If so, then should I assume that this is the only example of this construction in the LXX (& NT since the same search there returns zero hits)? Second, is there a better way to do this, one that might not require an actual comma following δια το (which I specified with the ".,"), but which would still identify the preposition + article separated from its infinitival object by an embedded clause? Is there a syntax search that would be more appropriate or more accurate to describe this pattern?

Introducing The Next Box: Spring 1990!
And now for something a little different. This year's box set - Grateful Dead: Spring 1990 - offers six complete shows from the epic spring '90 tour, one concert from each city the band played, personally selected by Dead vaultmeister and archival release producer David Lemieux. The sizzling six are: 3/16/90 Capital Centre (Landover , MD), 3/19/90 Hartford Civic Center, 3/22/90 Copps Coliseum (Hamilton, Ontario), 3/26/90 Knickerbocker Arena (Albany, NY), 3/30/90 Nassau Coliseum (Uniondale, NY) and 4/2/90 The Omni (Atlanta, GA).
In his "Producer's Note" in the beautiful book that is part of the box, Lemieux, who attended the first 10 shows on the tour, states, "To my ears this was the last tour that was consistently great, where every show is excellent, not a dud in the bunch." And Grateful Dead historian Dennis McNally's comprehensive and informative insider's essay in the box is titled "The Last Great Dead Tour." These guys know what they're talking about.
Basically, the band had been on an upward trajectory since Garcia's return to the road in the spring of '87, following his near-death the previous summer. Of course, 1987 was a trip in itself, what with the unexpected mega-success of In the Dark and their first hit single, "Touch of Grey." But the momentum just kept building with each subsequent tour, as Garcia got back up to full speed (and then some!) and the group as a whole was as unified as they had ever been since Brent joined the band in the spring of '79. New original tunes were popping up and the old favorites were imbued with a freshness and spirit that was so uplifting and inspiring. The band was having fun again, and it was downright infectious.
The group's fall 1989 shows-as documented two years ago on the Formerly the Warlocks box (two shows from Hampton, VA, 10/8-9/89) and on the 2001 release Nightfall of Diamonds (a single night in NJ, 10/16/89)- kicked the energy level up another couple of notches, as the band reintroduced such loved classics as "Help on the Way" > "Slipknot!," "Attics of My Life," "Death Don't Have No Mercy" and "Dark Star."
And when the band hit the road in mid-March 1990, they had a bunch of other cool tunes to lay on their unsuspecting crowds, including the return of "Loose Lucy" (last played in 1974; it's not on this box), Brent's "Easy to Love You" (missing since 1980), a rollicking cover of the Rolling Stones' "The Last Time," The Band's "The Weight" (with all four singers taking a verse each) and a lyrically retooled "Black-Throated Wind" (absent since 1974), which elicited huge cheers every time it was played.
Over these six shows, most of the cornerstones of the Dead's repertoire from the era appear-splendid versions of "Scarlet Begonias" > "Fire on the Mountain," "China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider," "Playing in the Band," "Uncle John's Band," "Eyes of the World," "Estimated Prophet," "Truckin'," "Sugar Magnolia," "The Other One," "Terrapin," "Stella Blue," "Feel Like a Stranger," "Bird Song," "Let It Grow," "China Doll," "Box of Rain," "Morning Dew"; you name it. From the fall '89 breakouts come "Help-Slip-Frank," "Attics of My Life" and "Death Don't Have No Mercy." Among the still newish tunes are "Picasso Moon," "Blow Away," "Foolish Heart," "Just a Little Light," "Victim or the Crime," "Standing on the Moon," "We Can Run" and a couple that would get their final plays from the Grateful Dead on this tour-"Built to Last" and "Believe It or Not." There are stirring renditions of "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and "Black Muddy River," rockin' takes on "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "Iko Iko" and the only version of the full "Hey Jude" the band attempted in the modern era. And the "Rhythm Devils" and "Space" jams at the heart of each second set are as noisy-beautiful-scary-funny-intense-mysterious-wild as you'd expect/hope for.
Of course, we understand that some of you may have other favorite shows from this tour you wish were included on this box. Really, you can't go wrong with any of them. But at 18 discs, this is still the second largest Grateful Dead box (after Europe '72: The Complete Recordings) that's been released, and the non-inclusion of any other shows from the tour definitely does not preclude their future release! But this seemed like a more manageable way to go, while still giving a sense of the tour's amazing depth and breadth.
Besides the discs themselves, Grateful Dead: Spring 1990 has much to offer, including: a gorgeous 60-page hardcover book containing copious color photos by Jim Anderson and Michael Laurentus, unique artwork by Brooklyn-based fine artist Wes Lang, fascinating business letters and communications related to the tour, a detailed historical essay by Dennis McNally, a Producer's Note by David Lemieux and individual show descriptions by Blair Jackson; a reproduction of the Dead's 1990 tour program (printed and sold later in '90, for the fall and Europe '90 tours); tickets and backstage passes of all six shows; a band publicity photo from 1990 by Ken Friedman; Dennis McNally's tour laminate; and reproductions of the colored 8x10 sheets GDTS sent out with hotel, food and other information for each city on the tour.
With recordings made by longtime Grateful Dead recordist and producer John Cutler, mastered by Jeffrey Norman in HDCD, you just know it's gonna sound great-and it does!
So, that's the skinny this time 'round. This box is limited to just 9,000 numbered copies - please note, this is the only time these shows will ever be officially available on CD. There will not be an All Music Edition and single shows will not be available physically. Due to ship out August 31st, we anticipate that this extraordinary set will sell-out, so order your copy today!
If you're looking for more of a bite-sized taste of the '90s, Spring 1990: So Glad You Made It, a 2-CD set featuring a handful of favorites, will be in stores on September 18th.

Show #1
Show #4
When disc 1 of 18 was flawed -- It skipped terribly... in Bird Song (of course!).
But I did PM that wonderfully patient and helpful person who lurks here constantly, but posts almost only to help with people's problems. You know who she is!
The people she suggested I contact replied to my email and said the problem would be addressed within 48-72 hours.
After 96 hours I had not heard back, so I replied back to them reminding them of their promise to address the problem of the one bad disc.
I received a reply the next day, saying that my bad disc would be replaced and would go out "this week."
A bit more than one week later, I received another email saying the replacement disc was sent to me "today."
That was three days ago. I received the disc today. The mailing label shows that it was sent when it was claimed to be sent.
It is the right one and it is free of problems. I am happy!
Even though I did detect a certain tendency to "over-promise and under-deliver" with regard to timing --- when the right model is obviously the reverse of that -- I consider that this has overall been a good customer service experience.
I expect and hope that most people's experience will be similar, but it is the nature of the internet and of mankind that negative experiences will be more frequently made public.
My heart goes out to those who have had bad experiences so far, but I do believe that with a combination of persistence and patience you will find that things will be made right.
(Also, I have no problem at all hearing Mr. Garcia's guitar and his voice in this mix.)
Mine's up for sale.
My take on dead net is that Gilbert Shelton's influence did not end with Shakedown Street; Fat Freddy is running it. If only it was his cat!
Sorry - duplicate post
Strap in brothers & sisters, this rant may take a while...
Ordered Spring 1990 on 8/1 with a promise of shipping by 9/1.
Received confirmation of shipping on 8/23 with a tracking number (yeah)
Tracking number didn't work (boo)
Got email that the tracking numbers were rubbish, use new tracking number (yeah)
New tracking number didn't work (boo)
Was told to wait until 9/6 for delivery
No Spring 90
Sent numerous emails to cust service. Response was the same: looking into it, investigating with shipper,etc... (BOO)
Finally, after 2 weeks sent terse email threatening to cancel order - No reply
Called customer service and spoke with supervisor. Was told that Spring 90 is essentially on backorder until early October (Boo)
Was given 20% discount and credited back my shipping charge of $13 (Yeah!)
Today I got an email saying that Spring 90 is permanently out of stock and my order will be cancelled and credited.
This company is so screwed up that words have a hard time doing it justice.
I have so rarely had things I ordered lost in the mail, I have a conspiracy theory that they never sent the product in the first place. Anyone else want to jump on my conspiracy bandwagon? No tracking? No immediate replacement?
W--T---F---- is wrong with these people? I have never encountered worse customer service and fulfillment on the internet.
Is there any higher level of customer service at Dead.net that we can contact? If these people can't get an order right, how can I trust them to even credit me back the money?
Dead.net totally sucks. I'm not buying from them any more.
I give up. I'm disputing the charge with my credit card.
They don't help at all.
Spring 90 arrived just 2 days after Dave's Picks 3 here in Nottingham. So far have just managed to hear disc 3 of Dave's Picks which is excellent. That's my weekend (and week after) listening sorted!
What gets me about the Sandstone 6-25-91 concert is that just before Tennessee Jed there's a Reuben and Cherise tease. They didn't play it that evening or ever again. I think that if they had it just might have been the perfect concert. It's still one of my faves from the awesome month of June '91. Based on what David L. said they might be saving Soldier Field '91 for a tandem video/audio release. In addition, I agree that they should also release video/audio of 7-18-89 and I think they should include the missing tunes from 7-17 as filler. (Row Jimmy, Masterpiece, and When Push Comes to Shove)
Dear Chr,
We have shipped your replacement disc 1 of 3/22/90 from the Spring 1990 box set. You should receive it soon.
Thank you for your patience.
Dr. Rhino & Dead.net Customer Service
It's been a while since the last Vince era show with or without Bruce has been released. There are some great shows from December '90...especially Compton Terrace and Denver.
A few other suggestions...
Giants Stadium - June 17, 1991
Soldier Field - June 22, 1991
Sandstone Amphitheatre - June 24-25, 1991
Richfield Coliseum - September 4-6, 1991
Madison Square Garden - September 10, 1991
Boston Garden - September 26, 1991
I would really like to see the Alpine Valley Music Theatre - July 18, 1989 concert that was played in the movie theatres released. '89 and '90 was the Dead athe their best. Release 'em all...
I'm still pulling for something from '84 and more from '88.
They did release the Road Trips, From Egypt With Love set shortly after releasing Rocking the Cradle.... so who knows?? It could happen, but I too doubt it will be a set related to this box.
Someone thinks they are going to release another show from this tour for Dave's Picks 4. I would be willing to bet big money and even give odds that doesn't occur. When have they ever done that? People bitch and moan if two picks in a row are from the same DECADE. Can you imagine releasing six shows from a tour and then having the next individual show release be a seventh show from that tour? I'd guess '60s, since it seems like it's been a long time since they have tapped that era, but could also be early-mid '80s, IMO. We shall see. That's my bet (figuratively speaking).
my set arrived in glasgow yesterday - i had to pay the duty!
was it worth it?
oh yes!
very very!
Waiting for a replacement disc here too. I'm one week away from mailing it back and disputing the CC charge. Paying 200 big ones (yes Rhino, that is a lot of money for us) for something that isn't even complete - NO WAY! An update would sure go a long way. I'm happy for the people who got what they paid for, and a bit jelous. I can't even bring myself to listen to it until it's complete, should make for an easier return that way.
A recent post called this the worst mix ever. I wouldn't go that far. Plenty of the live to 2-track releases are worse, at least in parts. But this does make me want to get back on my soapbox regarding the mixing budget of the archival release program. I tried to remember the last time a release was given a decent mix from multi-track and I had to really think about it. The Europe box and Formerly the Warlocks were given the rush treatment and they sound that way. Crimson, White and Indigo (released 2010) employed an unknown engineer who somehow didn't screw it up horribly. The last time Jeff Norman properly mixed one was back in 2008 on Rocking the Cradle. I predict the days of Rhino budgeting for decent audio are way behind us. It's our own fault. The market will bear it. No one cares about their Machiavellian business practices. I don't even care that much. I'm just reporting from the peanut gallery and adding my voice to those crying foul. The worst part is that the raw materials for what could be fantastic audio documents will sit and rot in the vault.
I'm sick of waiting for my replacement disk. And sick that they didn't explain or apologize after all these complaints.
They don't reply to my emails any more. I have to assume they have given up and will not be sending my long ago requested replacement disk to me.
Unreal how bad this service it. Worst I've ever seen.
In fact, I'm close to disputing the charge on my credit card since I didn't get the FULL product I ordered and paid for.
That's my next step.
Hey Dafydd - you've hit the nail squarely on the head in my opinion. I grew up in the 60's in the SF Bay Area. I've been a GD fan for what seems my entire life. I have also spent the past 34 years in customer service and order fulfillment. I have set up call centers for corporate campuses such as Apple & Oracle, on college campuses such as Stanford & UCLA, and government/military facilities such as NASA Ames Research Center, DOE, Fort Hood, etc. My GD collection is vast and complete. I've never missed a release or opportunity to snag bonus material. The whole E72, DP3, & S90, has exhausted me, spiritually and otherwise. I agree that dead.net is the worst merchant on the internet by a LONG LONG LONG way, in all catagories including product reliability, customer service, and order fulfillment. It sure would be nice if that phantom that has "final responsibility for the business of dead.net proffered" that explanation you so eloquently requested, but I do believe the boys are busy. It would be nice, but it wouldn't change my mind about walking away from collecting anything ever again offered by these bozos. When incompetence reaches criminal proportions, its time for this head to shuffle off and find a new hobby. This is the first time I've ever posted, and I suspect the final. With that in mind, when you assail the dark tower that is dead.net in the future, and find your fist raised, please raise the middle finger just a little higher in memory of me. Peace out.
If previous patterns are an indicator, Volume Four will be very different from the Spring 90 Box Set just released. I'd be surprised if it's a Brent-era release. I'll guess the Arc show from 4/23/69, or how about Kezar 5/26/73.
Box arrived in Dundee today, according to driver just seems to be your luck whether you or not you get hit with charges.
Opening ceremony will commence with immediate effect.
Good luck to those still waiting!
The box arrived in Cardiff today, 19 September. The Parcelforce label showed that it had been delivered to them on 18 September.
As I understand the issue, some people have discs that are damaged or defective, some have the wrong disc, and one or two folks have reported a mislabeled disc.
if you can send me your order number and any other relevant details I'll see if I can get this resolved. Sorry and thanks.
For what its worth. Same as Terrapin Station release from 1997.
IMO... inferior source to 24-track...
Can anyone explain the logic of going this route when the 24-track recordings are sitting there ?? And then charging the amount they did.
I usually don't get worked up over this type of thing but I am seriously disappointed.
My bet is an 80's show. Probably '84 or '85. If I had a guess it would be 10-5-84 or 11-5-85.
Dave's PIcks 4 will, in all likelihood, attempt to capitalize on the Spring '90 craze and it'll be some show not included in the box. It won't be Nassau 3/29, though, because releasing it as a limited/subscription pick would be a huge loss for Rhino. I'm suspecting it'll be one of the other Hartford shows.
Isn't it time that whoever has final responsibility for the business of deadnet proffered an explanation for all of the failings in relation to its products and service, and perhaps, an apology? There is no point in promising to resolve the issues as over the years deadnet has proved to be a beacon of incompetence. (It is certainly the worst Internet merchant by a long way with whom I have had business.) In the days of Dick's Picks I had several faulty discs. Having purchased several thousand CDs, I can still recall the only other faulty CD I have ever had – Ciudad de las Ideas por Vicente Amigo.
After being told that "hundreds" of copies of DP3 went missing in the post and replacements would be sent out mid-October....mine arrived yesterday.
Still awaiting the Spring '90 box set though !.
Still awaiting Spring '90, but just curious regarding the wrong disc issues, etc. Are people getting discs incorrectly labeled or are the discs being doubled up or all of the previous?
Is there anybody out there?
Don't just nod if you can hear me.
I haven't listened to it yet but my replacement arrived.
Had no issue spending the money for the box set but the mix is god awful. I mean really. My 3-30-90 Charlie Miller / Healy mix is better then this .. at least you can hear the lead guitar ...
If you want muffled Jerry and Bobby sounding like he is singing in an echo chamber .. this is your box set

excellent ??? really .. I think its the worst sounding release they have done...
Wow, what fantastically lame customer service! I pay $200 for the Spring 1990 Boxset, a disc is missing from one of the shows, and 20 days later I'm not even getting replies to my email checking back after another week of waiting and wondering what's going on. So then I call, only to be told that they have no idea when replacement discs will be made and sent out. Really?
Seems possible to me they suspended orders of the remaining unsold box sets, used those to replace cracked/missing discs, and when replacement discs arrive will reload and sell the remainding boxes. A relatively efficient way to satisfy incomplete/damaged orders if that is the case. Just a (perhaps obvious) thought.
With so many people having issues with 1990, Europe and DaveP, as well as my own issues receiving DaveP, I'm reluctant to purchase this 1990 set. Someone convince me otherwise, seems like a crap shoot whether I'll receive it and receive it in perfect playable condition.
Got my Spring 90 Box last week for my birthday and it's very cool. Only through 3 of the shows thus far and the sound is excellent. The Cap Centre show is excellent. Just started Atlanta. Very much worth it.
So a limited edition of 12,000 is reprinted due to 'lost' product in the shipping phase and yet
there a numerous copies (more then 20 on ebay and 7 on Amazon) for sale at this time
September 18, 2012 11:15am pdt
If there are still people waiting for product and yet this many are already for sale at steeply inflated prices
There needs to be a total reworking of the shipping process.
Maybe this is why no word on DaP Vol 4 due November 1.
the Shipping issue is one of criminal proportion.
Why wouldn't some enterprising young mail worker suppliment his income
when the product is so easily lifted and replaced for the customer.
And so easily sold on the internet with no authorites to question the legitimacy of the product.
EAC - Exact Audio Copy - is a program that allows one to make exact audio copies of audio files on audio CDs. It is a versatile program which also allows users to check the integrity of CDs amongst many other possibilities. An invaluable tool in anyone's toolkit.
EAC allows you to check the integrity of a disc to see if there are any digital flaws. It's great for checking large sets such as the 73 cd Europe box when time is the weighing factor if racing against the clock to make sure your CDs are not flawed before a warranty Or return period is up. It just scans the discs, and is freeware. Lots of people on some other Dead and audiophile sites swear by it and they turned me onto it. Now I check all my sets right away and don't have to worry about listening to them all at once if time is tight. It takes the pressure off, IMO. At least better than finding a defective disc several months after purchase date.
Unlike what seems to be the practice in the EU and other places, the tax is charged separately from the price of the item in the US. There is no federal sales tax or VAT; there is sales tax in most of the states, and the law has recently been rejiggered in many states to force out of state Internet sellers to collect the sales tax regardless.
In short, we pay less shipping here, but we get taxed too, and we pay the same for the items.
From everything I have read, and I have read just about every book out there on Jerry and / or the GD, Jerry never did drugs by intravenous injection. He was afraid of needles. He smoked it. In fact, when he first started, he did not know he was doing heroin. He thought it was high grade Persian opium. He smoked it on tin foil. It is called chasing the dragon. Jerry's health problems were a combination of his drug use, smoking 3 packs of cigs a day, his obestiy & diet, and lack of exercise. This led to diabetes and heart issues. No surpirse really. It is unfortunate that he could not over come these issues. But he was only human. When you were as famous as he was, everybody wanted to give him everything and to party with him. It makes for a very tough envinroment to get sober & to stay that way. Jerry never wanted to tell anyone how to live their life and he certainly didn''t want anyone telling him how to live his. He felt a lot of pressure to keep the GD going since they employed many people and he didn't want to let anyone down. If he would have gone out on his own with less pressure, things may have turned out differently. But let's not put all of the blame on others. Jerry was an adult and he was responsible for himself. It is what it is. Who can predict what "might have been"?
"Checked the disc with EAC and it tested fine"
I looked it up here:
But I still don't quite get it.
after one year and some I still have not received replacement discs from the europe 72 fiascio. Got an email in June from Mr. Dunlop saying that he would personally send the replacements, still nothing. At first, I was hesitant to persue this, I did not want any more bad feelings toward rhino or deadnet, but as this continues, it is obvious that they are not going to send these discs. Still nothing, have sent several emails to rhino and dead net, still nothing, they won't even answer the mails. This is why I won't persue this any more or give rhino one more cent of my hard earned money, they lie, they make promises that they never intend to keep, they just want your cash and don't care if you get your product or not.
so, in retrospect, I was right, they will not address concerns, they will not answer emails, or return phone calls, or nothing, just give them your cash and bend over. Once again, Rhino, you suck.
As far as the S90 box, too bad too sad for all who purchased this washed out ripoff from the 2 track cutter mixes. The Grateful Dead was all about Jerry and if he can't be heard, why bother? Shame on you, shame on your anscestors, shame on your shit business practices, shame on your shit customer service, how do you sleep at nite?
The payment of taxes raises a moot point. As exports from the US are not liable to US tax, surely the price to those outside the US should be lower. It is bad enough that we have had to pay excessive costs for posting. Some years ago, when I made a large order, the difference between the cost of postage and the posting charge was close to $200. This is a double whammy as the import taxes payable are based on the combined costs of the product and the postage. If we are effectively paying US taxes also, this is a tripe whammy.
Just got a letter from Parcelforce they've had my box since Friday but want £27.08 ($41) before delivering it. Have to pay it no correspondence will be entered into. One wonders why some have to pay this charge (not getting at Dead.net this is out of their hands) and others get theirs left with neighbours, looks like the good intention of sending the European batch to Germany for distribution didn't work in my case, but it did probably minimise the charge. Thanks for trying Dead.net, at least it will be here tomorrow
Neither have arrived in New Brighton (Wirral) in the U.K. as of yet despite having received despatch confirmations for both weeks ago.
I e-mailed Customer Support who advised me to give the box set until 23rd September.
The matter of the DP Volume 3 is more cloudy....i was told that hundreds of copies went missing in the mail and the item is being re-pressed...a copy will be despatched mid-October ???.
Plainly and simply...there is no logical reason why there should be such a foul-up sending parcels from country to country.
I just feel highly embarassed for Rhino and GDM....they just look like a right old laughing stock !.
I am now told that a "replacement" box will be sent. As the website indicates that a final delivery of the product is awaited, who knows when this will be? If something does eventually come it will quite possibly be when I am out of the country; sorry I cannot arrange my life around the failures of deadnet. It is difficult to credit the incompetence of the system. One person in Leeds gets a delivery, another person does not. In my case, there appears to be a fear of crossing the border into Wales. My long experience of both Parcelforce and Deutsche Post tells me that the failure has nothing to do with them but whatever half arsed system deadnet chose to use.
This may be nitpicking but as far as Jerry's vices are concerned I'm pretty sure "shooting" H was not one of them. Maybe I'm looking back at out-dated material but from what I read he didn't like needles and rather smoked the shit (correct me if I'm wrong, anyone). AND (this really does fall into the nitpicking category) it wasn't potato chips so much as the Hagendasz ice cream, at least from what I've read. Does anyone out there think that his diet played as big a role in his death as his heroin habit?
I just received the replacement of disc 3 of 3/22/90 Copps Coliseum. I also got the email today that the disc had shipped, so I kind of expected it would arrive today. Checked the disc with EAC and it tested fine. When I saw that wrong discs were sent out I did a quick listen to make sure the music matched the label. Everything seems fine on my end at this point, although I'll have to listen to it tomorrow.
Too bad some of you got the wrong replacements. Bummer, after the long wait. Hope it works out for you guys.
received a replacement disc for 3-19-90 Hartford today!!Everything is Ok.Thank you very much.

10 Reasons Not To Write Off Reading From A Screen/
Below is a post I recently wrote for the new Writer's Handbook blog- well worth looking it for aspiring and established authors alike. Much of the material comes from an earlier post for the Digitalist condensed into a more digestible format.
Over the past few months there has been much discussion of an impending digital revolution in the way we read books. While much of this is hyperbole there has been incredulity in many quarters that anybody would ever want to read from a screen. We are all attached to books and the idea seems, at first glance, anachronistic. However there are some good reasons why it might not go away as quickly as you'd think. Here's why:
1.) We do it all the time anyway. Whether its emails, blogs, the newspaper or text messages for the bulk of us, most of our reading is already on screen. The New York Times now was 13 million online readers per day against a print readership of 1.1 million.
2.) Those who read books read the most online. The Guardian reported that "women and pensioners were [the] most active readers" (22/08/08). A recent study showed women, the most enthusiastic readers, dominate social networks; 16% of "silver surfers" spend over 42 hours per week online. Moreover overall internet usage was up 158% in the UK from 2002-2007.
3.) e-Ink technology removes many of the disadvantages of screens. Using ionized black and white particles it eliminates eye strain and glare, expertly recreating the look and feel of paper and print.
4.) New devices (using e-Ink) like the Sony Reader and Amazon Kindle are backed by technology giants who know how to make a product work. They come with features like an MP3 player (the Sony) and wireless connectivity (the Kindle). Expect them to only improve in the coming years.
5.) In Japan mobile phone fiction- keitai novels- have gone from being a niche market to big business, with some novels being downloaded over 200k times a day. It has been reported that half of bestsellers in Japan are now mobile.
6.) Likewise in China online novels are huge. The most searched for term on Chinese search engine baidu.cn is "novel". According to Wired 10m "youth" now list reading online as one of their main hobbies.
7.) The iPhone has changed the parameters again by offering a fantastic reading experience, on a portable easy to use, multi-functioning device. Apps like eReader and Stanza make an already desirable phone a viable ebook reader.
8.) Paper costs are going through the roof- up 150% this year. With no slowing of the commodity book in site paper and manufacturing costs are likely to increase. Along with the cheapness of delivery the economics of electronic reading start to make sense.
9.) Government policy is to invest in ereading. Education policy wonks view reading from laptops and PDAs as a handy workaround to encourage book averse but technophile teenagers to read. A school in Birmingham even replaced all textbooks with Palm Pilots.
10.) The internet offers a whole new way of consuming content. Bundling, chunking, web only content, integrated multimedia elements, exciting new serialisations are only the beginning. This is reading from a screen not as something like lost but as something gained.
No one is saying that we will all run off any read all our books off a screen. Books are here to stay. Reading from one type of screen or another is not about to replace books, rather it is an addition to the varied climate to literature that already exists, a creative challenge, a commercial opportunity and new way for readers to enjoy texts.

"Thread Hell" brings the Japanese avant-garde to the Kennedy Theatre stageUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

Director of Publicity, Kennedy Theatre

Posted: Mar 15, 2013
The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa's Department of Theatre and Dance is proud to present Kishida Rio's "Thread Hell" as its final mainstage production of the 2012-2013 season. This classic work of the Japanese angura (underground theatre) movement will be directed by visiting artist Colleen Lanki, who is an alumna of UHM's Asian Theatre program. This production will mark the first angura production on the Kennedy mainstage — as well as the world premiere of a new English-language version, which Lanki co-translated.
Performances will take place on the theatre's mainstage on April 12, 13, 18, 19, and 20 at 8 p.m., and April 21 at 2 p.m. Audiences will also have the opportunity to attend free pre-show chats at 7:00 p.m. on April 13 and 20. Subject to availability, UHM students with a validated Spring 2013 ID will be able to take advantage of the theatre's buy-one-get-one-free program on Thursday, April 18.
Rio was a major figure in Japan's angura movement — and the only female playwright to have a significant role in the movement's first wave, which began in the 1960s. Although she declined to identify herself as a feminist, she often wrote about the interior lives and societal struggles of women, in language that is poetic and highly symbolic. "Thread Hell" is her most successful piece: it has received multiple productions in Japan and toured Australia, and was awarded Japan's major playwriting honor, the Kishida Kunio Prize.
"Thread Hell" is Rio's symbolic exploration of the role of women in Japanese society. Set in 1930s Japan, the play takes place in a silk-spinning factory that doubles by night as a brothel. (Due to some mature themes, the play may not be appropriate for audience members younger than 14 years of age.) The women employed at the factory, named after suits in the Japanese card game hanafuda, have lost the memory of their lives before the factory. (The large ensemble cast includes Karissa Murrell Myers and Kyle Scholl, both seen earlier this year in UHM's production of "Uncle Vanya and Zombies," and Amanda Stone, who was also an ensemble member in the Fall production of "Sonnets for an Old Century.") But the appearance of a young woman named Cocoon who "came from the sea" (Leah Koeppel, seen last Spring in "The Vagina Monologues") brings back memories, and begins to free the women from the control of Rope, the factory owner (Isaac Ligsay, seen in last semester's Prime Time production of "Handler").
Director Lanki is the Artistic Director of TomoeArts in Vancouver, Canada, and is uniquely qualified to bring "Thread Hell" to the Kennedy Stage. Before receiving her MFA in Asian Directing from UH Mānoa, Lanki spent several years in Japan studying both nihon buyō, or classical Japanese dance, and traditional nō theatre. She has performed at Japan's National Nō Theatre, and became a natori, taking a professional performance name in nihon buyō, in 2001. At the same time, Lanki was investigating contemporary Japanese drama, and she worked in a variety of contemporary styles ranging from shingeki to angura and movement-based theatre. Lanki shares all of this knowledge and experience with her actors, incorporating both classical and contemporary approaches in rehearsal.
These techniques, combined with Kishida's densely layered script, create a piece that is neither typical Western realism nor traditional Asian performance. "Audience members should expect a performance that's both highly poetic and extremely physical," said Lanki. "This play is full of characters who do extraordinary things in a terrifying and extraordinary world."
"Thread Hell" is supported in part by grants from the Office of the Chancellor, University of Hawai`i at Mānoa; the UH Foundation Japanese Theatre Fund; the National Resource Center East Asia, UHM; the Norma Bird Nichols, PhD Asian Theatre Endowment Fund; and the Consulate General of Japan in Honolulu.
Tickets for "Thread Hell" are available online at etickethawaii.com, by phone at (808) 944-2697, at participating outlets, and at the Kennedy Theatre box office; the box office is open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday, with extended hours on performance dates. Prices are $24 general admission; $22 seniors / military / UH faculty and staff; $15 UHAA members; $13 students; and $5 UHM students with validated Spring 2013 UHM photo ID. Ticket prices include all service fees. Discount rates are available for groups of 10 or more. For more information, please visit hawaii.edu/kennedy or call the theatre at (808) 956-7655. For disability access, please call the theatre.

Nissan Recalls 2012-2013 Altima
- Approximately 13,919 vehicles included in Nissan recall.
- Affects the all-new 2013 Altima as well as 2012 models.
- Nissan to inspect and repair loose suspension and steering bolts.
Nissan announced a voluntary safety recall for nearly 14,000 model year 2012 and model year 2013 Nissan Altima sedans. The automaker reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the federal agency that handles vehicle recalls, that suspension and steering bolts on some vehicles may not have been tightened to the correct specification. As a result, the bolts may become loose or fall out completely.
Potentially affected vehicles were built in Nissan's Canton, Miss. assembly plant between May 10 and July 26 of this year. During that time, Nissan built both the previous-generation 2012 Altima and the all-new, fifth-generation 2013 model.
Nissan did not list any reported crashes or injuries resulting from loose bolts. Instead, the automaker discovered the problem in a routine driving test on a single vehicle. A rattle prompted a closer examination of the vehicle, which was determined to have an improperly torqued transverse link bolt. Because the same tool is used to install the power steering rack bolts, that hardware is also included in the recall.
This is the first safety recall for the new 2013 Altima. Nissan has twice before recalled the 2012 Altima, once in 2011 for a similar issue. That recall of 20,000 vehicles--which also affected 2011 models--addressed improperly torqued transverse link bolts but did not include power steering rack bolts. The other recall on the 2012 Altima addressed an airbag issue.
Of the 8,420 model year 2012 vehicles and 5,499 2013 vehicles included in this latest recall, Nissan has already begun inspecting and repairing ones on dealers' lots. Federal law requires that automakers remedy recalled vehicles before sale. Because the redesigned 2013 model was only recently launched, both 2012 and 2013 Altima models are currently sold new.
Nissan will begin notifying owners of affected vehicles later this month. Those drivers should visit a Nissan dealer for an inspection and any necessary repairs, at no cost.
For more information on this Nissan recall, call the automaker's customer service line at 1-800-647-7261. The NHTSA website safercar.gov also lists all automotive recalls. Search for this one using campaign number 12V-494.
What it means to you: Nissan will fix any 2012 or 2013 Altima under this recall before selling it new. Owners who have already purchased an affected vehicle should take it in for an inspection and repair at no charge.

|Chicken thighs, seasoned with salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning and rosemary, cooked with mushrooms and onions, and slow braised on the stovetop.
Braised Chicken Thighs with Onions and MushroomsAren't you glad that winter is almost, ever so close to being behind us? I know my friends and family who live in the upper east coast areas are happy to be finally seeing the ground after months of snow. Well... we have a couple of mornings in the 30s and 40s (followed by days in the 60s in between) so I'm sneaking in at least another comfort food dish before we send Old Man Winter packing!
Many of you know that the Cajun and I are in the middle of a move to a new home - something that I never thought I'd be doing at this stage of my life. I will miss being so close to the Gulf, but it brings a lot of comfort to me that I don't have to worry about evacuations with hurricane threats because of my animals. It's easy for us to move further inland, but pets aren't as welcomed with hotels and even with family who aren't accustomed to them. I'm happy to know that we all can just stay put at home further inland. Just gettin' too old for all that business! As soon as we move out, the old house will get a little facelift and go on the market, hopefully to be a new home for somebody else just starting out.
We have had construction workers all in our new-to-us house since we closed on it, so we haven't exactly moved in, because, although the house has so many features that I always wanted in a house, and did not have in my old house, there were a few things I wanted to do before we moved in furniture. Painting is happening on Monday, so we are just about there though.
The new house had flooring throughout - except for carpeting in the master bedroom. Because of my allergies and my four-legged children, we had that pulled out and flooring installed there too. That part is done and we're ready to move in the master bedroom finally. I've also had Wall Control metal pegboard installed in the laundry room, including a laundry station where I can keep my iron, ironing board and supplies.
There was a lot of wall space to add additional shelving, so I put shelves in the laundry room, plus more in the walk-in pantry and down the walls of the garage. Yesterday we had a wall knocked out that separated two smaller rooms - what was a formal living room and a separate den - to open that area to make a single larger space and bring in more natural light. That will be our family room with a section for dining and I'll be able to convert the formal dining room into a real office for Deep South Dish!
Though it's an exciting time and we feel very blessed to be in a position to even do this really (and praying that we stay healthy and able to pay for this home), it's a tad bit awkward living between two homes and it's sure hard to cook anything much. I made a shrimp scampi the other day for supper at the old house, but had already carried much of the pantry over to the new house. I had to use what was left - about 1/4 pound each of medium shells and ziti pasta. It may not have looked traditional but it certainly did taste good!
This is a pretty standard recipe for braised chicken, although I based my version on Emeril's recipe he shared on Good Morning America some time ago. While bone-in chicken thighs are most traditional, other pieces of chicken may also be used, simply by adjusting times accordingly. There's quite a lot of onion in this - about 3 cups, very thinly sliced, and fresh mushrooms are typically included, though if you're not really a fan, it'd be fine to omit them. Other veggies may be used, such as quartered red potatoes and carrots, halved and cut into 1-inch chunks. Brown them in the oil after removing the chicken and before adding the broth.
I like to serve this chicken right over the top of some homemade mashed potatoes, spooning the pan sauce, onions and mushrooms over the top, but rice is a great choice as well.
Here's how to make it.
Recipe: Braised Chicken Thighs with Onions and Mushrooms©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 1 hour | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 3 pounds bone-in chicken thighs (about 6 to 8)
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste
- 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, divided
- 3 cups of halved and thinly sliced sweet or yellow onion
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms, optional
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 1 (32 ounce) chicken broth or stock
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Homemade mashed potatoes or steamed white rice
Season the chicken lightly on both sides with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning. Put the flour and garlic powder in a zipper bag, seal and shake well to mix up. Remove 2 tablespoons of the seasoned flour and set aside. Dredge chicken in the remaining seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large, lidded skillet over medium high heat and brown the chicken on both sides, skin side down first, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Add the onion to the skillet and stir, cooking about 4 minutes until softened, but not browned. Add the mushrooms and sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of reserved flour, stirring it in for about 2 minutes. Turn up to high and begin whisking in a small amount of the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom. Once mixture is smooth, stir in the remaining chicken broth, cooking until blended in. Return chicken to the pan, skin side down, add rosemary sprigs and cover; let simmer for 15 minutes.
Uncover, turn chicken and stir contents; cover and simmer for an additional 40 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, stirring several times. Transfer chicken to a serving platter, stir parsley and remaining butter into the sauce and heat through; taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve with hot steamed rice or homemade mashed potatoes, spooning sauce and vegetables over the top of the chicken or serving sauce on the side.
Tip: Use the pan sauce as is, or concentrate it by reducing. Remove the chicken and tent it to keep warm. Bring sauce to a boil, reduce to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally until reduced by about half, or until it reaches desired consistency. You may also use a cornstarch slurry to thicken it to the consistency of a gravy instead.
Cook's Notes: You may also deglaze the pan with a bit of wine, beer or even a vinegar, adding the chicken broth following that. May substitute a teaspoon of dried rosemary and 1 tablespoon of dried parsley. Okay to substitute thyme for the rosemary if desired; you'll want about 6 sprigs fresh. You may also finish the chicken in a 400 degree F oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the thighs, or until internal temperature reaches 175 degrees F. Other chicken pieces may be used, however, adjust times accordingly.

A wedding videographer who formerly operated a studio in the Shoppes at Blackstone Valley in Millbury has been prohibited from accepting new business of any kind in Massachusetts, following charges that he failed to deliver wedding videos to dozens of newlyweds.
On Thursday, Suffolk Superior Court Judge Judith Fabricant granted a preliminary injunction requested by Attorney General Martha Coakley against former SureShot Videography and SureShot Portraits owner Jesse J. Clark, formerly of the Fiskdale section of Sturbridge. Mr. Clark currently lives in Charlton.
Preliminary injunctions have also been entered against former SureShot employee Keith Morin of Southbridge and Mr. Clark's wife, Veronica.
According to a news release, the attorney general's office has received 92 complaints from consumers who either gave deposits or paid SureShot Videography in full for wedding videos that were never delivered.
Mr. Clark and SureShot representatives allegedly gave excuses that included claims that wedding footage was destroyed during Tropical Storm Irene or that a power surge delayed production. They also pointed the finger at subcontracted videographers or back-ordered DVDs.
Customers who posted negative reviews of SureShot on wedding websites were allegedly threatened by Mr. Clark. He allegedly said would only deliver their videos if they removed the reviews.
Last week the attorney general filed a lawsuit in Suffolk Superior Court seeking more than $75,000 in restitution plus civil penalties and the full recovery of all existing footage.

STOCKTON - San Joaquin County sheriff's deputies were investigating a suspicious death Wednesday in the 2200 block of Carpenter Road.
STOCKTON - San Joaquin County sheriff's deputies were investigating a suspicious death Wednesday in the 2200 block of Carpenter Road.
Deputies responded to reports of suspicious activity there at 3:22 p.m. and discovered the body of a young black male in a field, officials said.
Authorities did not disclose the cause of death, but police Sgt. Mark Richmond said the man died under suspicious circumstances.
Deputies used crime scene tape to cordon off a quarter-mile stretch of Carpenter Road from Ash Street to Pock Lane while investigators gathered evidence.
FRENCH CAMP - The California Highway Patrol arrested Rebecca Montehermoso, 37, of Portland, Ore., following a chase that reached speeds of 110 mph, authorities said.
The pursuit started at 2:51 a.m. Wednesday when officers tried to stop Montehermoso's Toyota sedan for speeding east on Interstate 205 in Tracy, officials said. Montehermoso failed to stop and led police on an 18-mile chase that ended when officers used spike strips to disable her vehicle on northbound Interstate 5 near Roth Road in French Camp, officials said.
After driving over the spike strip, Montehermoso pulled over to the rightshoulder, where she was arrested on suspicion of evading police, authorities said.
STOCKTON - San Joaquin County sheriff's deputies arrested two people in connection with the carjacking of a woman and her boyfriend shortly after midnight Tuesday near Cherokee Road and Cherryland Avenue, authorities said.
The victims said Derek Wehner brandished a gun and forced them out of the woman's 1994 Toyota Celica, officials reported. Deputies conducted a traffic stop when they found the vehicle near Harding Way and Newport Avenue. No weapon was found, authorities said.
Wehner, 24, was arrested on suspicion of carjacking, robbery and possession of stolen property. Ethan Carson, 23, was arrested on suspicion of possession of stolen property.
LODI - A woman arrested by San Joaquin County sheriff's deputies Tuesday after reports of vandalism, car theft and traffic collisions gave an incorrect name to deputies, officials said.
Arrested was Erika Ann Gibson, 29, who had given a different name to officers upon her arrest. Gibson is suspected of vandalism of a hotel room in Flag City, traffic violations, auto theft and vandalism of vineyards after driving through them.
Another charge is being sought: giving false identifying information to law enforcement officers, the California Highway Patrol reported Wednesday.

the third performance using arduino was probably the one where i got closest to my vision of an open work. with the buttons in K.ONTROL and DEMOCRACY it is still a very rigid setting, just allowing a certain option at a certain time but no fluent or organic interactivity.
HA | SHARING BREATH (2011) was an interactive performance installation exploring breath as a core life essence. audience's heart beats and breath rhythms were monitored and instantly transfered into a a visual breathing of the space and a living sound scape. a dancer improvised to those shared sounds – sharing his breath as well. i see HA | SHARING BREATH as an attempt to make the invisble tangible.

the performance was created for an intimate audience setting with three audience members being hooked up: two of them had a breath sensor belt around their chest and one an infrared pulse sensor. through an arduino those values were brought into max/msp. at the beginning of the performance these sensors were calibrated and then would trigger and manipulate sounds according to the audience's breathing patterns and pulse rate. the pulse would always be the beat, a sub-bass, whereas both breathing sensors would trigger different harmonics, evolving over time. the performance itself was ten minutes long, but the installation as a whole could be visited throughout the day. more info on the performance can be found on the HA | SHARING BREATH website.
again amy and craig worked on this one, here mainly on hardware and getting the signal into max/msp. jason, the sound designer, has done the programming in max as well as all the sounds for it. he has got an image of the max patch on his website. thanks guys.

On view through Sunday, July 28, 2013.
Fascinated with dance and motion, Ellen Steinfeld, over the course of her career, has created dramatic works in different media to reflect life at its most stirring and capricious moments. This exhibition presents Steinfeld's recent sculptures in concert with her watercolor paintings. Music and movement inform her sense of rhythm and balance in 3-dimensional compositions, whether they are subtly monochromatic or bright with color. These vertical constructions of disks, spirals, hemispheres, and other forms chart the arabesques, pirouettes and grand leaps as abstract gestures in an artist's form of choreography. Reminiscent of art history's dancers and acrobats by Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Alexander Calder, Steinfeld's conceptual figures suggest movement through space accompanied by music—tracing time metaphorically.
Many of Steinfeld's large paintings are comprised of several sheets of paper over which patterns advance. While some watercolors exploit the white of the paper as light-filled space for floating organic and geometric shapes, others are densely filled with saturated hues and black forms that suggest a humid, pungent and mysterious evening landscape.
The exhibition is curated by Nancy Weekly, Head of Collections and the Charles Cary Rumsey Curator, Burchfield Penney Art Center and lecturer of museum studies.
General admission to the Burchfield Penney Art Center is free to Buffalo State students, faculty, staff, and Burchfield Penney members.

I've created a composite control that contains several controls, including a textbox. I'm trying to expose the TextChanged event of the textbox as an event on the composite control. I understand that events can be bubbled up the control hierarchy and handled at a higher level, which I've attempted to do, but I can't get the bubbled event to fire. When I drop the control on an aspx I can see the TextChanged event, I can subscribe to the event, but nothing ever happens. Any suggestions? Here is what I think is the relevant code:
// My eventprivate static readonly object EventTextChanged = new object();
EventHandler textChangedHandler = (EventHandler)Events[EventTextChanged];
protected override bool OnBubbleEvent(object source, EventArgs e)
bool handled = false;

I have a textbox that a user is going to use to enter search information. when the page loads, "search Phrase" will already be inside the box...my question is how do i make it so this text is already selected.
document.getIdFromElement("Textbox1").select(); i've been told to use this java script but where do I put it and with what syntax. also do i need to put page1. before the rest of it. i am extremely new to this so please act like you are answering to a small child who needs concise directions.

Bouygues Telecom Selects Jinni to Offer the First Semantic TV Discovery Experience in France
By: Business Wire
Jan. 15, 2013 03:46 AM
Jinni announced today that French telecom operator Bouygues Telecom has signed an agreement to license Jinni's unique and advanced content discovery solution. The Jinni technology will power a superior user experience with semantic search, browse by mood, and other intuitive discovery features. The service will be offered in French and includes discovery of both international and local French TV series and movies. Bouygues Telecom is leading the French TV market by being the first to offer content discovery to suit users' personal tastes and moods.
Bouygues Telecom subscribers will be able to find what to watch by plots (e.g. criminal heroes, nothing goes right, fall in love, dishonesty…), moods (e.g. feel good, suspenseful, clever, sincere…), times and periods, places, audiences, styles, and awards.
"We are proud to partner with Bouygues Telecom to bring Jinni's personalized semantic discovery and Entertainment Genome™ to their impressive market," said Jinni CEO Yosi Glick. "France is in a prolific period of innovation and introducing revolutionary new products in TV consumption and content recommendation. Bouygues Telecom is a cutting edge telco provider that proactively looks to offer consumers the most compelling entertainment experience. This is a natural partnership between two companies at the forefront of TV experience innovation."
"Bouygues Telecom always strives to offer its customers rich and innovative experiences. That's why we are pleased to partner with Jinni in order to include its cutting-edge technology in our ecosystem for the benefit of our customers. Indeed, our goal is for Jinni's avant-garde approach to enable our customers to get the most enjoyment out of our impressive content offers," declared Thibaut Keraval, Bouygues Telecom's responsible for Land and Mobile Service Platforms.
The Jinni technology will be first introduced with a seamlessly integrated second screen tablet app to provide an easy-to-use, quick and entertaining way for users to access and discover new movies and TV series they will love.
The Jinni discovery solution, based on the Entertainment Genome™, has differentiated itself from other engines by taking content analysis and unique user-centric recommendations to the next level. With natural language understanding (NLU) capabilities, Jinni meets the growing consumer demand for a next-generation cross-platform entertainment experience across set-top-boxes, tablets, smartphones, PC's/Mac's, Connected TV's and gaming consoles.
The Jinni solution powers a suite of holistic discovery features that captures all the richness and nuance of human experience and expression. For example, instead of using broad genres such as 'comedy' to find a title, users will be able to find titles that are, 'clever, offbeat and witty with dry humor'.
About Jinni
Jinni is the first and only taste-and-mood based engine powering entertainment discovery. Using content genetics and nuanced understanding of user tastes, the Jinni engine powers a uniquely intuitive and personalized experience that increases content consumption and consumer satisfaction.
The Jinni service is powered by the Entertainment Genome™, containing thousands of genes that are assigned to each title to describe mood, style, plot, setting and more; this is a rich alternative to the usual genre language, which benefits both the quality of the content delivered as well as the intuitive semantic-based user experience. New titles are automatically indexed via analysis of user reviews and synopses, using a proprietary Natural Language Processing solution.
Jinni's content discovery solution has been voted "Best Product Idea" by CableLabs. Jinni is a Webby Awards honoree, a Red Herring 100 Europe winner, an OnHollywood 100 winner, a SXSW Web Awards nominee, a TechCrunch Europas nominee, a finalist in the 2012 Connected TV Awards for Outstanding Technology Innovation, and was selected as the best movie recommendation engine by CNET and Lifehacker. Jinni provides content discovery and recommendation solutions to European content providers Belgacom, Swisscom and Prisa TV. To see Jinni's award winning engine at work, visit www.jinni.com.

House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo has directed the House Ethics Committee to undertake a full investigation into "serious allegations" of misconduct brought against a member of the House by a member of the Statehouse legislative staff.
Mr. DeLeo's office released a statement Thursday night detailing the investigation process but did not identify the lawmaker involved in the allegations.
Several local politicians Thursday were discussing the investigation and whether it centered on state Rep. John P. Fresolo, D-Worcester.
Mr. Fresolo Thursday night would not discuss whether he was the legislator in question.
He said his counsel advised him not to say anything. He stated several times "I am not resigning" to a reporter who went to his Dolly Drive home in Worcester Thursday night.
Mr. Fresolo had not returned phone calls during the past several days.
Former Worcester Mayor Jordan Levy said on his WTAG talk show Thursday that Mr. Fresolo was being investigated.
The speaker's statement said that the allegations were made against the lawmaker by a House employee two weeks ago and that he directed House counsel at that time to undertake a preliminary investigation to determine if the allegations had merit.
"After conducting the preliminary review, counsel concluded that there was sufficient cause to warrant a full investigation," the statement said. "Last Friday, Speaker DeLeo, acting under the authority of House Rule 16, therefore, directed the House Committee on Ethics to fully investigate the allegations," it stated.
The speakers' office declined to name the lawmaker involved and under House rules ethics investigations are initially undertaken outside of public view. The statement disclosing the investigation said that "in order to protect the integrity of the Ethics Committee investigation, Speaker DeLeo will have no further comment on this matter."

The St. Mary's Knights traveled to Springfield on Sept. 20 and made a statement after they defeated the Tigers 30-7 and made three two-point conversions along the way.
St. Mary's 30,
Springfield 7
The St. Mary's Knights traveled to Springfield on Sept. 20 and made a statement after they defeated the Tigers 30-7 and made three two-point conversions along the way.
Last week, Coach Brent Kucera said these next couple of games were going to be tougher than normal. Obviously it wasn't enough of a challenge for St. Mary's, as the team had 304 yards of total offense, while the defense only allowed Springfield 12 total minutes of possession and only six first downs.
The night began in the middle of the first quarter, when junior David Surprenant recovered a fumble and gave the Knights great field position. After three rushing plays, quarterback Brandon Helget threw a pass to Kodan Kosak for a 31 yard play. Three plays later, Helget threw a pass to senior John Brandl for 16 yards and the first touchdown of the game. Helget attempted a two-point conversion run but was stopped short.
The Tigers responded in the second quarter, after they intercepted a pass from Helget intended for Brandl. Springfield took advantage of the mistake and five plays later, St. Mary's trailed for the first time this season. A 30 yard rushing touchdown and extra point was made to give the Tigers a 7-6 lead.
But three minutes later, the Knights scored their second touchdown of the night, after a one yard run by Lucas Heiderscheidt. It was then Helget and Brandl who completed a two-point conversion to take a 14-7 lead. This was only after the Knights ran for 59 yards in their drive, with 52 of those yards made by Helget.
With 15 seconds remaining in the half, St. Mary's was able to score again on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Helget to Kosak. This time, it was Helget and Surprenant who made the two-point conversion, which gave the Knights a 22-7 lead.
St. Mary's got the ball to start the third quarter, and had a very successful drive across the field that took nearly five minutes off the clock. The Knights were able to go from their own 33 to Springfield's two yard line, after a combination of short, but consistent running and passing plays. Jaden Wait was able to run for 13 yards near the end of the drive, and was followed by a two yard run by Surprenant into the end zone. The third and final two-point conversion was made by Wait, which gave St. Mary's a 30-7 lead, that lasted the remainder of the game.
The Knights had 42 rushing attempts for 189 yards on the night. Meanwhile, Helget went 8-20 for 115 yards in the passing game. Kosak led in receiving yards with two receptions for 47 yards, while Brandl was behind him with 31 yards. Wait had a total of 70 rushing yards after 12 attempts to lead in the running game, while Surprenant had 55 and Helget had 49.
St. Mary's will host New Ulm Cathedral on Sept. 27 for the Knights Homecoming game.
