Cécile is not an exact unknown, but he has made himself much more prominent recently in the blogosphere and in his workings with Bob Rifo of The Bloody Beetroots. The remix for Pets Dance by the SPA was a co-op between himself and the Beets, and the few productions released by him are beginning to make him one to watch in 2009. Never Trust is electro metal goodness, while the Andromeda is a bit less abrassive, a lot more melodic.

In The Crosshairs
I'm not happy about what happened to FYOF. I think everyone and their mother has downloaded the Fist of God album by now, yet Dim Mak has decided that it is not done fuckin' up and making matters worse, so FYOF is now offline for good and their members will resume blogging under a new moniker. It seems to me record labels should really pick their battles. Just like Matt said, Justice's album got leaked way in advance, and everyone had it, and it still made tons of money from sales/touring/merchandise. Surely MSTRKRFT, of similar notoriety, could perhaps do something similar? Nope, they are ruined now cuz their album leaked, their lives altered forever, their facial hair no longer cool. Kidding aside, I don't wanna make it seem like it's cool to distribute music the artists don't want out there; it's not. But MSTRKRFT would never be known if it wasn't for blogs like FYOF, a blog that truly cares about music and their particular scene, and who has always acted ethically for as long as I've been a reader. But they already know that, they just choose to forget. We are like a condom, once used, to be disposed of.
I'll stop babbling. FYOF members, keep truckin'.

After a debacle as-seen-on excellent blog FuckYouOnFriday a couple of blogs decided to post this album, and well, you decide. Here's a comment from a happy fan who quickly sums up the history to MSTRKFT . . .
"What's the fuckin deal people? Did any of you stop to think and actually hear the album? It fuckin sucks big time!!! "The looks" had some bit of creativity and has a joyfull melodic touch. This one is just distorted basslines and black dudes raping over the song…It really, really sucks…and there is no need for such commotion. Man, bottom line, FUCK MSTRKRFT or Dim Mak or whatever…If you can't protect your work, don't bitch about it!!!
By the way, this discussion took place yesterday i think…well, nodata.tv just posted the intire album…"

Blog Hate-orade
I hear that Tiga is not exactly thrilled with the blog world, too bad the blog world goes completely gaga for him. His new album Ciao! is now on super hype level omega 7, with teasers, radio rips and leaks in full force before the proper release on April 20th. The album has a lot of production work from Soulwax, as well as contributions by Jori Hulkkonen, James Murphy, Gonzales and Philippe Zdar. I like this strategy of getting a solid group of knowledgeable, proper producers to help out throughout an album; it gives the album star power and cohesion at the same time.
Ciao! Tracklist:
Beep Beep Beep (ft. Soulwax)
Mind Dimension (ft. Jori Hulkkonen)
Shoes (ft. Soulwax & Gonzales)
What You Need (ft. Soulwax, vocals: Jake Shears)
Luxury (ft. Gonzales)
Sex O'Clock (ft. James Murphy)

Away From The Cliche
We here at LTBN are probably not gonna be a part of getting Yuksek 'discovered' by anyone; he's been around since the re-emergence of french touch and has a volume of work that far precedes his popularity and the words on this post. However, his newest LP, released earlier this February, might make it a little difficult to pin Yuksek's sound down and might make it so that we discover him all over again. The album dangerously sits in ambivalence, as it dances between being a pop electro album reminiscent of Depeche Mode or a revisit of mid 90's Brit-techno a la Chemical Brothers or Basement Jaxx. Not a bad thing, but I didn't expect to like it too much. However, this album separates Yuksek from most of the producers in his scene and makes sense in a separation of the artist and the producer.
Tracklist :
01. Break Ya
02. Tonight
03. A Certain Life
04. Extraball featuring. Amanda Blank
05. Take A Ride
06. I Could Never Be A Dancer
07. So Far Away From The Sea featuring. The Bewitched (alt)

Obscure to Omnipotent
The group Shadow Dancer, signed under the Boys Noize Rec. moniker, have always been personal favorites of mine, one of my first posts highlighting their characteristics as producers. Almost a year later and Shadow Dancer have finished their debut LP tittled "Golden Traxe" and are making a tour, stopping in the US for SXSW (Austin) and Hard 13 (LA). Having listened to a couple of the promotional tracks, on top of my personal blessing, I can't wait for this one to drop. Here are the goodies, some of them belonging to previous releases, some in low kbps quality, all intended to encourage a future purchase! Enjoy:
01. Poke (alt)
02. Soap
03. Infinite Lies
04. Walker

Bloody Beetroots, 2009
The All-American Rejects - Give You Hell - Bloody Beetroots Remix (ALT)
SPA - Pets Can Dance - Bloody Beetroots Remix - (Requested to be taken down by the best DJ in the World, STEVE AOKI)
Remember Ezekial eats red hoodie? That was quite a long time ago. As that sound was so far apart from what Two french quys in France were doing at the time, and hard to, well . . . comprehend, the Bloody Beetroots today are a working sound that can't be reckoned with, spawning other hopeful wannabees, few if any are original. 2007, 2008 . . . Where will 2009 go?

Hi folks, I think this has to do with acquisition. Here's my problem. I've an image, say http://localhost:8080/colorado/images/myimage.jpg Now, with Zope, if in a DTML document called http://localhost:8080/colorado/test.html , I refer to it as  it works as expected. However, if I have another DTML document called http://localhost:8080/colorado/slideshows/test2.html which *also* refers to it as  the image appears there also. I don't want this to happen. I would like this image to be broken as you would expect in a normal, dumb webserver. However, I don't want to turn off acquisition completely in all the folders too (I don't know how to do that either). Is there any thing we can do to test2.html which will not show things like this? FYI: This is for a content management application using Zope. We use Zope to make our content, then make static pages into file system to be served by IIS. All that works very nice. But users often give wrong URL for their images in the content and in the Zope DTML method (like test2.html) which does the preview, these images appear all right and so they think it is going to be OK in the static version too. I'm using something like ZIE for editor, so at least in that if we can disable acquisition, that would be neat.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Temporary Engineering Jobs and other Engineering Jobs topics.
When it comes to engineer recruiting, it is vital for success to market your job opportunities over the Internet. If you've decided to use an engineering staffing service to fill jobs, you should update yourself on methods of recruitment, including narrowcasting.
Narrowcasting refers to the tailoring of messages not only by content, but also by medium. Also referred to as niche marketing or target marketing, the concept is simple: engineer recruiting services aim messages at specific segments of the public based on a number of characteristics.
Your recruiter can tailor the descriptions for those with specific degrees or levels of experience. By using the latest in technology, recruiters have access to blogs and Twitter to get the message out. Prospective employees are all over the Internet, and the recruiting agency must be as well.

Hi, I initially had a windupdate issue that has since resolved. However, now, though I can get online, I cannot access usually more than the first page of a website, if I am even that lucky. Ex. I can get to Google, my homepage, and I can search, but if I try to access a webpage from the search list, that's it and I get the "cannot find page" error.
Additionally, I pinged with this "Bad" computer and then with a "Good" computer, and the bad computer took about 70ms to ping, while the good computer took about 17ms.
I thought I had a windsock issue, but then I checked the two computers, which both run Windows ME, using MSINFO32 and saw that they have the same winsock info. I then checked out the IE section and noticed that the "bad" computer indicated = "Problem devices = TCP/IP network\mstcp\0002 Error Code 22" I dont' know what this is, but it looks bad.
If anyone has any ideas, they would be very greatly appreciated. I wouldn't mind switching browsers, but since I can't access anything online, I can't even do that!

The science of light and shadow is fascinating, and wonderful to explore through historical forms of photography. Cyanotype, which is actually the oldest form of photography, utilizes iron salts and paper and results in a blue and white image. It was actually invented by an astronomer who wanted a way to 'xerox' his notes and sketches!
Students make a solargram using the sun to expose the paper – a technique used often by such surrealist icons as Man Ray. However, unlike silver-treated paper, cyanotypes can be developed without a darkroom, using water.
This project is both magical and educational for all ages. I like to take this further than the usual natural flora and fauna that people might use to create interesting silhouettes, adding on an exploration of how light travels through or is blocked by opaque, translucent and transparent objects, and what happens also when three-dimensional objects are added. During exposure, the direction from which the sun is coming also has an effect on the image; interesting shadows may appear and create a three-dimensional effect.
The examples below are of newly-developed, wet cyanotypes. When they dry, the evaporation process turns them a deep blue. Throughout the project, students get to see the paper change color multiple times. They learn the terms 'positive' and 'negative' and how that applies to photography and art in the larger sense:

What a difference a week makes!
October 6, 2010 | Brrr!
Just one week ago we were sweltering in a late September warm spell, with morning temps around 80°F and highs near 110°F. This morning it's 51°F. I guess the good news is that there hasn't been any snow.
Now, I know full well that there are lots of people in lots of places who would look at morning temps in the 50s as balmy. But when the temperature falls 40 degrees overnight, it comes as a shock to the system.
This cold weather blew in Monday night. And the operative word is blew. Several times during the night it seemed as if the big bad wolf was trying to blow my house down. Fortunately, it's not made of straw.
The weather is getting just plain weird. The climate-change deniers may think it's all a hoax, but if it is, it's perpetrated by Mother Nature herself!

Dear Reader,
Y'know, I'm not very excited about most mail that I receive; are you?
There is an exception though, and that is bulky mail or mail with some "thing" in it.
Those I find irresistable; it's a bit like Christmas, isn't it?
3D mail packages are exciting to the addressee, and are vastly underplayed. Somethings to consider:
Hone your target down to definite prospects; users of your service(s) and/or product(s);
Get your name on the thingy you are enclosing, and keep it relevant to what you offer; make your company memorable by it;
Avail more if they wish upon a visit or what have you;
Test against a non 3D mailing; you will be stunned at the difference in response*
(*Keep in mind that creative contributes about 20% to the overall response, the balance coming from the list and the offer.)
So give it a try and let me know the results.

Going Global
Dear Reader,
The question is: should you sell your products internationally?
You know the answer to that; it's a resounding yes. The international marketplace is any where from 6 to 6000 times the size of your own, depending on where you live, of course. Would you rather just sell to millions or billions of folks.
Why wouldn't you; you've got free global advertising courtesy the internet, people will find you from outside of your own country and want to buy what you have. So, why not?
You'd be surprised at how many companies decline this opportunity.
Why? Several reasons including too expensive to ship there, customs and just plain old fear of going somewhere uncharted.
Quickly, here are some rebuttals: there are many options and you may be surprised at how affordable it is; customs will take you a couple of hours to figure out and get around that obstacle and the best way to overcome fear is to deal with whatever is fearing(?) you..
There you have it; happy postings!

Another picture of a building in my neighborhood. Sorry.
I'm trying to be good about not reading personal email, news and blogs at the new job, so haven't had much time to see new things and comment on them. CFab is in Egypt right now and has been giving some really good blog while she's there. My dad actually just got back from Cairo on Sunday after he was there for a week looking at a new university they're building. His description of the air quality there started to remind me a lot of India (speaking of which, I've really been meaning to finish that third blog entry that I never got around to... maybe tomorrow).
I'm still debating leaving the house tonight. We shall see. Enjoy the picture.

You'll find that most antique stores are concentrated in High Street, with other second-hand shopping opportunities located in the side streets off Dawson Street. The quality and variety of the antiques in Strathalbyn even brought Bargain Hunt Australia and Australian Pickers to film in Strathalbyn.

Typically, you must compose a or submit a software to get a grant that is medical. (Jochen Sands/Digital Vision/Getty Images) Meaning Because in reality, they do in many cases enable physicians to perform procedures that save the lifestyles of people who otherwise could not have afforded them, medical awards for surgery are lifesavers.

PE: MS-PS1-4 – Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.
DCI: PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter: The change of state that occur with variations in temperature or pressure can be described or predicted using these models of matter.
S&E Practice: Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
CCC: Cause and Effect
The first step for this demonstration is to obtain dry ice (typically sold in grocery stores) and liquid nitrogen (sold at gas and welding supply stores).
TIP: Dry ice is fairly simple to obtain. I typically purchase 1.5 lbs, which sells for $8.27/lb, the night before and store it in a Styrofoam portable cooler packed with ice. Liquid nitrogen is a little more difficult in that you first need to locate a place to purchase it and have the correct container (called a dewar).
A dewar is basically a souped-up thermos, designed to maintain the temperature of liquid nitrogen for several hours. I purchase it the day before and store it overnight in my classroom. It is commonly referred to as LN2 and sells for about $20 for 10 liters (includes a teacher discount). If your school does not currently own a dewar check with your local high school.
TIP: Before I owned a dewar, I found out that the same place that sells LN2 also has a dewar that they hardly ever use. I approached the salesman and asked if I could rent his dewar for a day in order to use it for a science classroom activity. He agreed to rent it to me without any fee as long as I promised to return it ASAP. When I returned the dewar I included a student signed thank-you note and several photos of the day. Now I purchase LN2 from him at a discount every year. Dewars retail for about $450.
Material needed: dry ice ($12.32/1.49lbs), Styrofoam portable cooler (dry ice storage) liquid nitrogen ($19.66/10 liters), dewar (LN2 storage)
Demonstration material, small hammer, several small bowls, hot plate or access to warm water, liquid soap, large coin (quarter), small fish tank, blowing bubbles solution, rags, water dispenser type water bottle, 4 feet of tubing (diameter of tubing should fit snugly over mouth of water bottle, metal spoon, fresh carnation flowers, racket balls, cherry tomatoes, plums, bananas, construction nails, block of wood, large beaker, tongs.
The students will be treated to several demonstrations; it is a very fun day and is typically the highlight of the chemistry unit. I always demonstrate with proper eye protection and a lab coat. During the course of the demonstrations the kids are to be taking notes on what is occurring at each station. Their assignment is to create two drawings that represent what occurred with the dry ice and the liquid nitrogen.
I encourage my students to film any of these demonstrations; the kids typically post hundreds of photos to their social media pages.
TIP: I have nine tables in my room and perform nine demonstrations in one class period. My big room is that everyone must stay in their seats. I promise everyone will have a front row seat to at least one demonstration. If a student leaves their seat to crowd another table, their table misses a demonstration. Peer-pressure keeps students in line. I typically start out with simple demonstrations and save the best for last, this assures kids farthest away from the first demonstration still have an exciting view later in the class period.
Safety Warning – Dry ice can burn. It is at -78.5° C. I start out the day wearing chemical gloves to protect my fingers. I have found that if you juggle pieces of dry ice between your fingers you'll be fine. Gripping the dry ice in a closed fist is asking for trouble. I allow my students to play with very small pieces (sand grain size) of dry ice. Sometimes they may burn their fingers, but no real harm occurs.
Demo 1 – dry ice in a beaker of warm water
This is the first demonstration of the period. I make sure I have a supply of warm water available (warm water makes a better effect than cold water). Break a small piece of dry ice (size of a golf ball) off with a small hammer and place it in a bowl of warm water. The dry ice will bubble, along with fog emerging on the surface. Leave the dry ice in the bowl to continue sublimating (solid to gas), skipping the liquid phase. Point out to the students that sublimation is occurring.
Tip: At this point students in the back of the room may try to crowd this table for a better look. Remind them that every table will get a turn and if students get up prematurely they may loose a demonstration for their table.
Demo 2 – dancing coin, screaming spoon
Break another piece of dry ice off and place it in the center of the desk. Take a warm coin (warm it between your palms and use it to cut into the dry ice. The temperature difference will make a hissing sound (call for quiet in the room – good dramatic effect). Once the coin is halfway submerged let go of the coin. If it is positions correctly (practice makes perfect) the temperature fluctuation between the coin and the dry ice will cause carbon dioxide gas to sublimate into the air and cause the coin to quiver in the dry ice. Next warm the spoon in the palm of you hand and place the bottom of the curves ladle directly on the dry ice. It will emit a squeal as the dry ice, once again sublimates carbon dioxide; the warmer the spoon the louder the sound.
Demo 3- large soap bubbles
I use the same bowl with dry ice that was used in demo 1. Soak a wet rag with water and dish soap. Dip your finger in the liquid soap and run it across the lip of the bowl, coating it with a fine amount of soap. Next carefully drag the wet rag across the top of the bowl, with the goal of producing a soap film bubble over the top of the bowl (practice makes perfect). Once the soap bubble is it place it will expand up fill the bowl with white carbon dioxide fog. You can pop the bubble to cause a sensations amount of carbon dioxide fog to spill over the top of the bowl.
Demo 4 – popping dry ice bubbles
Using that same bowl, add a few drops of liquid soap directly to the water and vigorously stir it with a finger for a few seconds. The agitated soap will produce many small bubble filled with white carbon dioxide fog. I scoop a small handful and smear it on the tabletop and let the kids pop bubbles.
TIP: To keep the other table excited I also smear some carbon dioxide bubbles on several quiet tables, bringing them into the demonstration. I sometimes do this to tables that have already seen a demonstration, letting them know that staying in their seats after a demonstration also has advantages.
Demo 5 – levitating bubbles
This is one of the hardest demonstration, but well worth it if you can pull it off. I place a sample of dry ice in a beaker of warm water and place the beaker in an empty fish tank. The tank will now fill up with carbon dioxide. One of the properties of dry ice is that as a gas it is heaver than air, meaning it will sink to the lowest point in a sealed container. This property was used to invisibly extinguish a candle in: 'Chemical and Physical Changes Lab'. The key is to get plenty of invisible carbon dioxide to settle in the bottom of the fish tank.
Using the bubble solution I carefully blow a bubble and try to get it to land in the fish tank. Don't blow into the tank or you will blow all the carbon dioxide out. Instead blow across the top of the tank. I can only get it to work occasionally, but when it does work the bubble will magically float in the middle of the tank, floating on a layer of invisible carbon dioxide.
As background information I tell them that back in the old west when settlers were digging water wells on the prairie, they would often suffocate on their own carbon dioxide exhaled while they were digging. Since carbon dioxide was heavy it would stay at the bottom of the hole. To protect themselves (not knowing the science) they would often fashion small bombs using gunpowder tied in a piece of fabric with a fuse. The resulting explosion would push the carbon dioxide out of the hole. You can find this in Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingles Wilder.
Demo 6 - bubble maker
This is the most complicated rig for these demonstrations. I use a sparklets type water bottle and an old hose from an abandoned shop vac. The diameter of the hose fits perfectly on the mouth of the sparklets water bottle. Pour warm water into the spaklets bottle and add several small pieces of dry ice (the more you add the longer this demonstration will last. Fit the hose onto the mouth of the sparklets water bottle. White carbon dioxide fog should pour out of the hose. Use the soapy bowl from demo 4, dip the end of the hose into the soapy bowl until a film of soap covers the hose. The billowing white carbon dioxide fog will produce a cascade of soap bubble falling out of the hose. I lift the hose up high and allow several soap bubbles to land on the desk and pop with a dramatic carbon dioxide explosion. This photo typically makes it into the yearbook.
Liquid nitrogen is much colder than dry ice (-196° C) Respect the LN2, wear gloves and remove rings and bracelets. If LN2 happens to splash on your bearskin, then warmth of your skin will momentarily deflect the LN2. However, rings will freeze, without knowing it the damage will be inflicted. Always wear eye protection. I point out that they will observe boiling liquid nitrogen at room temperatures, because LN2 has a very cold boiling point (-195.8° C). Boiling does not mean hot, as most student think, but is a change of state from liquid to gas and can occur at any temperature.
Demo 7 – flash freeze flower, fruit
Wearing gloves I fill a large beaker with about 700mL of LN2. It will immediately begin to boil into a gas. I explain that LN2 has a boiling point of -195.8° C (slightly warmer that it is in the dewar) it will immediately begin to boil once it has been exposed to the warmer air. I dip a carnation into the boiling LN2 and remove it, showing the kids a frozen flower. For a dramatic effect I crumble the petals of the flowers. I then place small pieces of fruit into the beaker and allow them to flash freeze. Wait about a minute and carefully remove with tongs. I lay the frozen piece of fruit on the table for the students to examine. While they are not looking I smash the frozen fruit with a hammer, resulting in a splintering of frozen fruit (think Gallagher) that shoots everywhere with squeals of shock from the students. The longer the fruit is allowed to freeze the better the cracking sound will be.
Demo 8 – flash freeze ping-pong ball
This is similar to demo 7, but instead of freezing fruit, you will substitute a ping-pong ball. For best results, leave the ping-pong ball in for (insert time). Add more LN2 if necessary. Fish the now partially deflated ping-pong ball on a table and again smash with a hammer. If the ball is sufficiently frozen it will shatter like glass.
Demo 9 – flash freeze banana, hammer nail
Again add a banana to the beaker full of LN2 (at this point the beaker should be frosted over) and allow it to freeze for (insert time). Remove the banana with tongs, use a nail with a wide head (not finishing nail) and use it like a hammer to drive a nail in a block of wood.
As I am demonstrating the dry ice and LN2 my students are recording in their notebooks what they are observing. I stay away from the words "taking notes'" as this has been an overused phrase and often means busy work in the eyes of students.
In their science notebooks, students divide their paper up into nine equal sections. I tell them to draw a giant hashtag that covers their entire page. Each section should be numbered and labeled to correspond with each demonstration. At this point the kids are to document "what" they see and save the "why" for later. It is important to emphasize that they can use diagrams as well as words (or both) to describe the event. Their documentation must be thorough enough that it will still remind them of the details three days later. If they think they would forget something in three days, they must include it in their documentation process.
If they include a picture I tell them that it is only a rough drawing (doesn't need to be in color) and it must include labels to describe the event in total.
As a culminating activity on the next day, the students create a detailed drawing of two events and describe why the event occurred they way it did. They will divide their paper in half and use their notes from the previous day. The pictures must be neat (final product), include labels, a description of the event, highlight the temperatures involved, and use a minimum of three colors.
After the last demonstration I check very carefully to see if any stray pieces of dry ice may be floating around the room. I make sure to collect the remaining dry ice and put it away. Many students ask where they can get dry ice and LN2 and my typical response is "at the science store".
I also ask the class what sublimation is and if boiling means "hot". They learned in "Determining Freezing Point Lab" that candle wax freezes into a solid when it cools down. These demonstrations serve as a good bookend to that lab.
If there is any leftover LN2, I have the kids raise their feet off the ground and I splash the remaining LN2 across the floor, under their feet. The LN2 freezes any dirt into clumps and those clumps roll across the floor.
If you wish to review the different changes of state, I have included two PowerPoints
1) Changes of State - Graphically reviews physical changes of state
2) Changes of State 2 - A mnemonic sentence to help the students the names of the physical changes of state
Steve Spangler has a commercial kit with directions to build your own rig that will blow soap bubble and fill them with white carbon dioxide fog and/or helium. Bubbles filled with helium will float to the ceiling and pop, raining white fog below.
Steve Spangler Science - The Ultimate Dry Ice Science Kit
Steve Spangler put LN2 in a sealed 2-liter bottle and put it under an inverted plastic 10-gallon trashcan. Check the 6:53 mark in the video. The exploding 2-liter bottle sends the trashcan almost 100 feet into the air. Use this example at your own risk as you are demonstrating a dangerous bomb to your students. I would love to put a nose cone and fins on the trashcan, effectively turning it into a giant rocket - just don't have the courage yet!

Before the virus takes hold
Sunday, May 13, 2007
Yes, that's a lyric sung by Roger, an aspiring songwriter and one of the main characters of Rent. I saw the show last Friday at the Paramount theater and I almost thought that my friends and I had arrived at the wrong venue. The cheers and screams from the audience after almost every number and for some of the unknown actor's entrances made me feel like I was in some sort of rock concert. I'm serious, the crowd was incredibly enthusiastic (for a musical at least, haha).
Contrary to popular belief, I had never seen Rent before. Not even the movie. I know, what a lousy gay man. I own the original cast CD and have listened to it way too many times. But I had yet to be a true Rent-head. And bot did I ever become one. The show is just unforgettable in its energy and meaning, every song is a fantastic melody and inspired lyric-fest (ok, maybe 90%, but that's still really high).
Some moments were so emotional they moved me to tears (yes, even after all these years). The scenes involving the AIDS support groups and the death's of some of the main characters just drove me over the edge. I hadn't fell like crying so hard in a theater since I saw "Wit" back in MTY. Rent is an amazing show, it represents the wonders and horrors of a generation, some of which are no longer here to look back. It's both incredibly meaningful and entertaining, much more so than La Boheme could ever be (the opera it's based on).
I actually went to get my first HIV test in 2 years the day after I saw the show. It came back negative, thank God. I know I only slept with 4 guys since my last test, and it had always been safe sex, but still, it was a little nerve-wracking. I think that's why this show resonates so much with me. Having had more than my fair share of AIDS scares so far, I'm always very keenly aware that I could have wound up a statistic, another silent victim. Seeing the characters in Rent face up to destinies much bleaker than any I could have faced, and still have the will and genuine joy to live... it just amazes me. I love having the sense that I've witnessed an important work. And I hope other get the same chance. Viva la vie boheme.

Fund Summer Sales Slowdown Seems to Be Well Under Way
Summer has just begun, but the usual summer slowdown in mutual-fund sales seems to already be under way.
Fund companies say they are taking in less new cash from investors so far this month than in May. And sales in May were down significantly from the prior month, according to figures released Monday by the Investment Company Institute, a mutual-fund trade group in Washington.

Joe Layton is a new face to the local political scene, a fact he is using to stand out from his seasoned challengers. The 24-year-old accountant is a graduate of Loyola High School and USC. He has lived with his family in the city for nine years. He is currently looking for a home of his own with his fiancee, Cassie Hoppock.
Valley Sun: How would you improve traffic flow in the downtown area? Would you support installing one or more parking structures in the area?
Layton: The best thing we can do to improve traffic flow in the downtown area is to have an outside consultant look at the algorithms currently implemented in the traffic lights to try to find a more efficient way of syncing the lights up with the flow of traffic.
I am not sure that installing a parking structure would be the best solution to the current issues we are facing in downtown: Space is at a premium, and a large structure would not necessarily fit with the surrounding area.

A homeless man was sentenced Monday to five years of probation and must undergo a year of counseling for sexually harassing and following a Glendale teen, officials said.
Adam Cartwright, 33, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of soliciting and engaging in a lewd act in public, according to Shiara Davila-Morales, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney.
He also ordered to stay away from the 17-year-old girl and must register as a sex offender during his probation.
Cartwright was sentenced to serve 60 days in jail, but received custody credits for a total of 68 days.
He was arrested in September after a warrant was issued for his arrest in connection with following the teen as she walked home, according to Glendale police.

6 portions of cod (allow 170 g / 6 ozs approx. filleted fish per person)
1 tablesp / 1 American tablespoon + 1 teaspoon finely-chopped onion
Salt and freshly ground pepper
30 g / 1 oz / ¼ stick butter
3-4 fresh bay-leaves
Light cream to cover the fish, approx. 300 ml/½ pint/1¼ cups roux
15 g/½ oz/one-eight stick butter or 1-2 tablesp. Hollandaise Sauce (optional)
Serves 6
This master recipe can be used for most round fish, e.g. haddock, pollock, grey sea mullet, ling, hake etc. Salmon and sea trout are delicious in this way or with a mixture of fresh herbs, e.g. parsley, fennel, lemon balm and chives.
Melt the butter in a pan. Fry the onion gently for a few minutes until soft but not coloured. Put the cod in the pan and cook on both sides for 1 minute. Season with salt and freshly- ground pepper. Add bay-leaves. Cover with cream or creamy milk and simmer with the lid on for 5-10 minutes, until the fish is cooked. Remove the fish to a serving dish. Bring the cooking liquid to the boil and lightly thicken with roux. Whisk in the remaining butter or Hollandaise as an enrichment, check the seasoning. Coat the fish with sauce and serve immediately.
This dish can be prepared ahead and reheated and it also freezes well. Reheat in a moderate oven 180ºC/350ºF/regulo 4, for anything from 10-30 minutes, depending on the size of the container.
For a delicious starter, put the Cod with Cream and Bay-leaves into scallop shells
which have been piped around the edge with a little ruff of Duchesse Potato. For a dinner party the Duchesse Potato can be piped around a large serving dish with the cod in the centre. Garnish with bay-leaves before serving.

My First Unit
U.S. Coast Guard Station Saginaw River
I chose a search and rescue station for my first unit because it was one of my deepest desires to save human life at the risk of my own. But I never liked one of the mottos of the old life-saving service which is, "You have to go out but you don't have to come back." I've never been a person who likes being told they have to do. I have a brain and I can think for myself therefore I should be intelligent enough to know what needs to be done. I don't believe that human beings are expendable in any circumstance, so as far as I was concerned the not having to come back part was wrong. The search and rescue station that I chose for my first unit was Coast Guard station Saginaw River in Bay City, MI. The station was a totally new building that had been completed about a year before I arrived. The old station was a Lighthouse on the Saginaw River that the Coast Guard had abandoned. Everybody told me it was a creepy place to live in. I never got a chance to see it up close but it looked creepy enough from the middle of the river while sailing by on our 41 ft. utility boat. Everybody the station was pretty nice and I got along well with everyone except Chief Fuller and Petty Officer Dekel. Chief Fuller was from Texas. I've come to learn that people from Texas display a certain attitude, somewhat stubborn with an air of independent arrogance. Only people like this could come up with the phrase, "Don't mess with Texas." Petty Officer Dekel on the other hand was extremely arrogant to the point he was difficult to work with. He did a tour of duty in Vietnam with the Coast Guard and he made sure that you knew it the minute he met you. I don't have any photographs of these guys because I didn't want to waste the film on them.
Most of the rescues at the station were what is commonly referred to in the Coast Guard as AAA tow jobs. In other words Joe Schmoe goes out fishing on the weekend with his buddies and runs out of gas. I'm sure in some cases it was done deliberately, knowing that all they had to do is get on the radio and we would come out and tow them home. We were also responsible for ice rescue in the winter time which was a completely different affair. The year prior to my arrival all of the Coast Guard stations in the Great Lakes held a competition to see who could come up with the best ice rescue vehicle. Some stations purchased ATV's and outfitted them for missions, while others tried snowmobiles, but our station was the most innovative. We built an Everglades type airboat and reinforced the bottom of the hull with four inch and a half in diameter aluminum pipes welded together in groups of two that ran down the length of the hull. It not only reinforced the hull, but it also acted like the runners of a sled. A survival compartment was fabricated in the bow of the boat that took engine coolant and ran it through an automobile heater core, which provided warmth for hypothermic survivors. The engine was not an aircraft engine as is commonly used in the Everglades of Florida. Instead it was a short block Chevrolet engine with a propeller attached to the crankshaft. When a competition was held station Saginaw River won the event hands down. On completely smooth ice the airboat could reach speeds of 85 miles an hour. However ice on the Great Lakes is seldom smooth for any long distance. When ice forms on the Great Lakes it expands which results in the formation of pressure ridges that can rise up to 20 or 30 feet tall. These pressure ridges make ice rescue difficult for any vehicle because of the obstacles that they create. The ATVs and the snowmobiles couldn't handle large pressure ridges of this kind. In addition the ice isn't thick enough to support the weight of these vehicles at all times during the winter, but our airboat had no problems with any of this. If the ice couldn't support the weight of the airboat it would fall through the ice and behave just like a boat in water. I thought the airboat was the neatest rescue vehicle we had. Unfortunately I only got to drive it once.
As for the work I had to do, there was a lot of scraping paint, sanding metal till my arms hurt even with a power sander and of course painting everything in sight. That's what you do when you are at the bottom of the ranks. I also stood a radio watch at night on duty days which led to my first altercation with Chief Fuller. It was really late one winter night and I had the radio watch. I had spent the day working harder than usual and was really tired. The radio room was constructed with a chest high L shaped counter that nearly encompassed the entire room. Underneath this counter fluorescent lights were placed which allow you to turn the overhead fluorescent lights off and see the station grounds clearly out the windows.
I found the strobing of the fluorescent lights to be very irritating to my eyes and annoying so to give my eyes a rest I closed them and placed my head on my arms at my desk. It was this precise moment that Chief Fuller decided to drop by the station and saw me in this position. The next thing I knew I was placed on report for sleeping on watch. There was a captain's mast held for me whereupon I was pronounced guilty and restricted to the station for two weeks. During my restriction to the station we went to Sebewing, MI. via the 41 ft. utility boat for a celebration of Coast Guard day with the Sebewing fire department.
Chief Fuller challenged the fire department with a contest to see who could set up their main firefighting equipment faster and get the other guy wet. We won the contest and afterward a fire hose battle ensued where I took a direct hit in the face from the fire hose you see here. The pressure of the water lifted my eyelids off my eyes and the pressure forced it's way behind my eyeballs. Very painful.
Coast Guard Air Station Detroit MI. sent a helicopter out for the event as well. We put on a basket hoist demonstration from 150 feet for the public and I was the lucky guy who got to ride the basket up. The demonstration didn't work out completely as planned because the wind blew the helicopter in such a way that I wound up on the left side of the helicopter and nobody could tell if I had gotten into the basket or not. This resulted in the basket being dragged like a tea bag through a swimming pool with me in it. I swallowed a lot of water on that one and hit my head on the belly of the helicopter on the way up. It was a blast though. The following winter Coast Guard policy changed and we were no longer required to stand an active radio watch during the winter. As a result of this policy change a berthing area for one person was built out of lumber in a closet adjacent to the radio room so that the person who is sleeping there would be able to answer the telephone if it rang. I'm not certain if this was the reason my captain's mast was removed from my personnel record but I found out two years later that it had been removed.
The most alarming case I encountered at station Saginaw River occurred during an ice rescue mission. I was standing radio watch at the time and was about to be relieved when a phone call came into the station concerning the sighting of three flares near Pinconning, MI. The way the rules were laid out for ice rescue is that if three flares were cited by the reporting party we got underway. So we hitched up the airboat and took off for Pinconning running red lights and siren the whole way. We created such a scene on the highway with a king cab truck with Coast Guard emblems on the doors, towing behind us a large airboat painted international orange, that by the time we arrived at the boat ramp to launch the airboat, we had a line of cars following us nearly five miles long. When we arrived at the boat ramp nearly 100 vehicles filled the parking lot. After we launched the airboat the coxswain for the mission selected his crew and then blasted out of the area to go look for the flares. I was selected to remain behind with the truck. A short time after the airboat departed the parking lot began to empty out when people began to realize that there wasn't going to be much to see. The airboat had been underway for an hour and the parking lot had completely emptied when a Lincoln Continental pulled into the parking lot and a high rate of speed. I mean this vehicle came in so fast that when it bottomed out in the potholes of the road you could see sparks coming from the underside of the vehicle. I could also see that the car was full of people. There was a reservist who is with me seated on the passenger side of the front seat and I was sitting behind the steering wheel. When I observe this I brought it to his attention. Then the Lincoln Continental pulled up behind the trailer which was still attached to the truck and parked in such a way as to prevent our escape. Then the driver of the Lincoln Continental flipped their headlights to bright nearly blinding us in the process. That's when I knew I was in trouble. I was looking in the left rear view mirror as a man got out of the Lincoln and walked up to my driver's side door. As he was walking up to the vehicle I was scrambling to find anything I could get to hit him and all I could come up with was a clipboard. I didn't want to be trapped in the vehicle so I unlock the door just as he came up to me. He placed both his forearms on the car door and shoved his entire body weight against it preventing me from leaving the vehicle. As he did this he looked me square in the eye and said, "Hhhhiiii." The smell of alcohol nearly caused me to puke as I continued shoving on the door, only now I'm exaggerating my body movement to indicate to my partner that this man is keeping me from getting out of the vehicle. When he saw this he opened his door and came around the front of the truck. When the drunk saw this and saw how big my partner was he backed away from the door and let me out. This guy was bald with an ear ring in his left ear and he looked like Mr. Clean. By now my heart is racing as the man begins to tell me that he didn't think anybody was going to come out as a result of his call to the station. I then pointed out the yellow strobe light that was mounted on top of the airboat and told him that we had an airboat out there that was looking for the people he had reported. I also informed him that we had a helicopter on the way to aid in the search. This man was so plastered he could hardly talk. Regardless of his intoxication he got back into his car and drove away. I then informed the station via radio what had just transpired and the station dispatched a police officer to the boat ramp in case he came back. About 30 minutes later the helicopter we had called out of Detroit arrived and upon descent into the search area the helicopter began to ice up in the low lying clouds, which caused the helicopter to abort its mission and return to Detroit.
My first boat crew consisted of Dennis Hrdlicka who was my coxswain (boat driver) and Wally Butler who was the engineer responsible for the mechanics of the boat. These two guys were constantly playing practical jokes on each other and irreverently cutting up any chance they could get. Consequently Chief Fuller hated them, but I thought they were the greatest. Chief Fuller was so focused on military bearing, so inflexibly rigid he wasn't going to allow anyone any slack. Everything had to be by his book. Also on my crew was a young woman named Laurie Roberts (aka Strawberry). At the time we met she was a Seaman and I was a Seaman apprentice. When you work in a small crew like this and all four people have found mutual respect and admiration for each other, tight bonds are formed and the crew functions as one living entity. For me there is no experience quite like this and I have only encountered this experience three or four times in my life. The majority of these occurrences were in the military. The reason why this is so, has to do with the environment your job puts you in. Nobody who works in an office building has to rely on the guy in the next cubicle to save his life or watch his back. The whole world would be a different place if everyone who went through high school could experience this just one time, because once you've experienced this kind of teamwork you never want to lose it.
I will never forget the morning our cook Michael Curran was told that his efforts cleaning the stern of the 41 footer were not good enough. I was cleaning the engine room and I had a chance to see the work he had done and it looked OK to me. He had used a scotch brite pad and some scouring powder to do the job like we all did, but the Chief didn't like his work. More correctly the Chief didn't like him. The next thing I knew Mike was out there leaning over the stern with a sander going over the entire stern with it saying, "That'll show that son of bitch." Boy you should have seen the sparks fly when they found out. Fortunately nothing happened to Mike.
It was one of the first bright and sunshiny days of early spring we were told to make the skiff ready for search and rescue. This skiff was nothing more than a john boat with a small outboard motor on it. Fireman Dallas and one other machinist were told to put the boat into the water and take it out for test spin.
We had just received these new survival suits that are referred to in the Coast Guard as Mustang suits. They were very sharp to look at, but I wouldn't want to be caught dead in cold water with them on. I didn't know it at the time however. Fireman Dallas and his partner were told by their superior officers not to wear these suits but they did it anyway. They returned to an ass chewing and the following day at morning muster Chief Fuller told me to go to the equipment locker and grab eight of those new suits. I came back with my arms full of survival suits and he told me to drop them on the Quarterdeck in front of him and fall back into ranks. He then picked up one of the suits and held it up to everyone and said, "How many of you think that this suit would save your life in water conditions like today?" None of us had any prior experience with these suits, so eight people raised their hands and I was one of them. I figured that the Coast Guard wouldn't buy defective survival equipment and these suits looked so sharp and modern I trusted they would be alright. Everyone who raised their hand got a suit and we immediately commenced a cold water drill. Chief Fuller was well-known for putting us in cold water drills, but all the occasions prior to this we used our Bailey suits, which are commonly referred to as Gumby suits because that's who you look like when you put one on. The Bailey suit is a dry suit, it doesn't let any water in. The Mustang suit is a wet suit and it lets water flood in.
After we got into our suits we were instructed to drag a john boat out on the ice in our slip until we fell through the ice. When this happened the cold water flooded the suit I was wearing and I was immediately incapacitated from the cold. I could hardly move as the Chief ordered us to get into the john boat. Everyone had gotten into the boat but me because I couldn't move. It was then that the Chief asked me if I was alright. I told him I was in pain and he asked me what hurt. At that moment I was feeling tremendous pain in my rectum so I told him my ass hurt. He evidently thought there was something funny about my statement so he asked me to repeat myself as if he couldn't hear me. I repeated myself louder the second time and everyone got a big laugh at my expense. I didn't know it at the time, but every muscle in my body was shrinking because of the cold. That's why I was feeling pain. The Chief then told me to swim to the john boat and get in it. When I finally managed to get to the boat I tried to pull myself in, but was unable to because the suit was full of water. It took the effort of three people to pull me into the boat. Then the Chief announced via the bullhorn on the truck for the skiff to come over to our john boat and tow us to the middle of the Saginaw River. He used the bullhorn instead of the radio to give these instructions so there would be no recording of his radio transmissions at Coast Guard Station Group Detroit.
Most of the people who were in the boat with me had just come from boot camp. This was their first unit and they didn't want to appear incapable. As a result of this they possessed a natural inclination to overextend themselves. Once we had been towed out to the middle of the Saginaw River the chief announced over the bullhorn for us to jump into the water and swim back to the station. There were two women on board with us and one of them said, "I don't think I can do this." I told her that this was a drill, that it was not a rescue mission and if she didn't believe she could do it she should stay in the boat. I then jumped overboard into the water and began swimming to the station. About halfway there I began to experience extreme pain in my hands due to the fact that the wet suit gloves that I was wearing had holes in them and were flooded with cold water. I stopped for a moment and thrust my hands into the air to let the water drain out and I began to work my hands until blood came back into them and warmed them up a bit. After the pain had subsided a little I began swimming again until the pain returned and I was forced to repeat the procedure. When I stopped for the second time I noticed something very odd. I had developed tunnel vision. Everything in my peripheral vision had turned to a milky fog. The only thing I could see clearly was what was directly in front of me in the center of my vision. That's when I knew I was in deep, deep trouble. At that point I called for the skiff to come pick me up.
When the skiff arrived Fireman Dallas tried to pull me into the boat, but my suit was so full of water he couldn't get me in by himself. He then jumped into the water to try and help me and was immediately incapacitated by the cold. When I recognized that Fireman Dallas could do nothing to help me I told the person driving the skiff that I only had seconds of consciousness left. I told him to forget about getting me into the boat and that I would hang onto the side of the boat while he drove it to shore. I figured that he would steer a course that was the shortest distance to land but he didn't. Instead he drove the boat deep into the slip and up on shore. As we were motoring along it became apparent to me that if I lost consciousness and lost my grip on the side of the boat my legs could easily be run over by the propeller, so I was hanging on with all I had. When the skiff beached inside the slip I tried to crawl out of the water on my hands and knees and was unable to move. The Chief saw this and panicked. He and another Petty Officer ran down to the water and dragged me out. Each of them grabbed an arm and stripped me naked in front of everyone who was present. They wrapped an army blanket around me and put me upstairs in the berthing area and left me there unattended. As I laid on the bed the cold blood in my body began to circulate more freely and I began to shiver like I never had in my life. I thought I was going to die because it appeared to me that I was experiencing status epilepticus which is the medical term for a constant state of seizure. I thought about the other people that were still in the water, I realized that I had been the first person out of the water and that there were other people who were being exposed to the cold longer than I had been. Shortly after this I heard a tremendous commotion in one of the berthing areas adjacent to mine. There was panic in their voices and I heard someone turn on a shower. This was a mistake because the Commandant of the Coast Guard the week prior to this drill had changed the policies concerning the treatment of hypothermia in this manner. No longer were we permitted to put people in warm showers. Instead we were supposed to break out some heat packs and wrap the person in a blanket. The reason for this policy change was due to the physical damage caused by rapid warming of a hypothermic body. While all of this was happening around me Petty Officer Bollinger came into my berthing area, picked up the phone and dialed the radio room. He asked them what the water temperature was and they initially refused to tell him. It was then that he began screaming at them on the phone demanding to know what the water temperature was. Finally the radio room reported that the water temperature in the Saginaw River was 36 degrees. I found out later that the person who had been put in a shower had actually managed to swim all the way to shore. She was a skinny little girl from Florida who had just arrived from boot camp.
When I woke up the next morning every muscle in my body hurt and it took me three days to recover. I could hardly move. I was completely exhausted even after a full night's sleep, but it was my duty day so off to work I went. When I got to work I passed the Chief on the way into the station. As we passed each other he said, "You really scared me Coggy. Don't do that again." As if all of this was my fault. I had an opportunity to speak with Petty Officer Bollinger who was there when I was stripped naked in front of the crew. He told me he was terrified by what he saw when they took the mustang suit off of me. I asked him why and he told me that I was so blue he couldn't see the hair on my chest. Now I have to tell you that I am a very hairy guy and I have very dark brown, almost black hair. I also discovered that day that the young woman from Florida who had been put in a shower was on sick leave until further notice. She had been taken to the emergency room where it was determined that her right pectoral muscle had nearly been torn off from the drill. Her husband was an ex-coast guardsmen who had served on buoy tenders for four years. Consequently he had a tremendous amount of experience about the Coast Guard and he knew that this drill was BULLSHIT. He came down to the station later in the day and tore the Chief a new asshole in front of the whole crew. I could tell he was very close to planting a couple blows on his chin and there wouldn't have been a single person on station who would've stopped him. So what resulted from all of this? The Chief was promoted to Senior Chief and transferred to Coast Guard Station Corpus Christy, TX. I was pissed because this drill was right out of the scientific notes of Joseph Mengela. The only consolation was that at least he wasn't in a place where he could freeze anybody.

Having pitched strongly for President Barack Obama's re-election, the burgeoning Indian-American community will for the first time host its own inaugural ball as he is formally sworn-in next month to begin his second term.
To be organised by "Indiaspora", a newly-launched initiative of members of the Indian Diaspora, the event is being showcased as a celebration of the "combined achievements of the two nations (India and the US) and cultures".
"Join the world's oldest and largest democracies in congratulating President Obama as he is sworn in to his second term as President of the United States," says an announcement from the organisers on behalf of the 3-million strong Indian American community, compatriots from India and American well-wishers. It expects key Senators, Representatives and policymakers to attend the event.
The announcement came even as a newly-released survey confirmed that Asian-Americans as a whole voted overwhelmingly for Obama (71 per cent) as opposed to his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney (28 per cent).
"Indiaspora will be a catalyst to transform the success of Indian Americans into meaningful impact in India and on the global stage," says MR Rangaswami, who founded the organisation earlier this year under the auspices of the non-profit SHG Foundation. In September, "Indiaspora" brought together 100 influential leaders of the community for a three-day event to kick off its Forum in Lake Mohonk, New York.
"There's no doubt that our community now holds some influence in the US. As we play an increasingly larger role on the national political stage, it is obvious that Indian-Americans are enjoying," says Rangaswami, pointing out that the community, accounting for barely 1 per cent of the US population, has experienced great success in fields as diverse as academia, arts, business, entertainment, healthcare, media, philanthropy, politics, science and technology.

In this report, the dynamic response of a liquid metal target container for pulsed spallation neutron sources have been simulated using both a commercial code and a self-developed program. The main features and differences of both programs are presented. A transient thermal analysis was first examined with coupled and uncoupled heat equations. Temperature distribution results showed that the coupling effect between two pulses can be neglected. Stress waves due to direct pulsing have been calculated on the target container, investigating the effects of loading rate and structure thickness. Results from the transient thermal-structural analysis showed that, due to inertia effects, the dynamic stress in the target container is contributed mainly from direct heating in the initial time stage, and later from the pressure wave in the target liquid as it reaches the container wall.
