Merce Cunningham Dance Company finishes out last tour
The Merce Cunningham Dance Company will perform for the last time at the Walker Art Center this weekend.
One of the great innovators of American dance, Merce Cunningham died two years ago, and his company is doing a final tour. At the same time the Walker is launching a series of exhibitions of sets and costumes designed for Cunningham's company by some of the great visual artists of the 20th century.
Sage Cowles befriended Cunningham in the early 1940's in New York. She used to hang out with Cunningham and his loose-knit group of friends, artists and intellectuals living the bohemian life. "I met him when I was 17, and we were both going to the School of American Ballet," Cowles said.
"With not a penny in their collective name," she said. "And so if anybody had an extra soup or something, 'Come over for supper.' It was a shared friendship because they were all working very hard at whatever it was they were imagining." And this particular group imagined a lot. Cunningham was working with Martha Graham and developing his own movement style based on rigorous discipline in combination with chance elements, such as like rolling dice or flipping coins to determine how a dance would play out.
His creative and life partner John Cage was to soon redefine musical composition. Others in the group, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, were about to launch their own assaults on the visual arts world. Sage Cowles had a career dancing on Broadway and television before moving to Minneapolis to become a huge supporter of dance. The new Cowles Center is named for her and her husband John.
But this was before any of them were famous and it was only natural that they would share and collaborate. As Cunningham prepared a dance, Cage might write the music, and Rauschenberg, who became Cunningham's stage manager, might design the costumes and sets.
Much of this was done separately. The dancers rehearsed in silence and often only first heard the music on opening night. Cowles said it was heady stuff. "For me one of the exciting things to go to a first evening was I was seeing a collection of artists reveal a complete collaboration of work that was happening right now," Cowles said.
Those collaborations kept coming throughout the seven decades Cunningham ran his company, which amassed a large collection of works by some of the great visual artists of the time.
And they were made to be used, said Trevor Carlson, executive director of the Merce Cunningham Dance Foundation. "These were not precious objects to us," he said. "In the sense, that they were working materials." Carlson is leading a tour at the Walker Art Center showcasing a new exhibit of sets and costumes called Dance Works 1 Merce Cunningham/Robert Rauschenberg.
Carlson points out an abstract panel Rauschenberg built for a dance piece called Minutia. It's worth a great deal of money and museum practice would call for white-gloved curators to handle the piece in climate-controlled conditions. But Carlson admits the Cunningham Company used to strap this Rauschenberg original to the roof of a VW microbus and drive in all sorts of weather to the next performance.
Walker curator Philip Bither chimes in: "Sometimes when these concerns were raised with Merce, like 'Should we heavily insure them or take better care or something, didn't he say 'Well I'll just ask Bob (Rauschenberg) to make another one?' Because they were really all friends."
"And he (Rauschenberg) did" Carlson laughed.
The Walker announced the acquisition of Cunningham artifacts in March this year. At the time curators anticipated getting about 150 objects, however Bither said the number is closer to 2000.
Aside from sets, there are costumes, such as some deceptively diaphanous dresses made from army surplus parachutes — which are in reality are so heavy their momentum sometimes threatened to pull dancers over.
It will take years for Walker staff to catalog, conserve and research the collection, Bither said. Two more Dance Works exhibits are planned. In 2015, the center will host a major retrospective and symposium based on the collection. They have only just begun to scratch the surface, Bither said.
"Of course we think of Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg and John Cage and David Tudor and things, but there were dozens of fantastic artists he collaborated with." The show is called "The Next Stage: Merce Cunningham at the Walker Art Center" to point out this is not an end but a transition, Bither said. The dance company will disband after a final performance in New York on New Years Eve, but a major part of the Cunningham legacy will now rest in Minnesota.

Latest Galaxy Note 2 leakage suggests two colors at launch, early October release
We're just over two days away from Samsung's Galaxy Note 2 announcement at IFA 2012, but we still know almost nothing about the upcoming phone/tablet hybrid. Nevertheless, some small details are starting to leak out as the public unveiling approaches. The latest of these comes from SamMobile, which has a pretty good track record with Samsung leaks.
The report, which seems to have come from a retailer spreadsheet, lists the official branding as "GALAXY Note II," alongside the model number GT-N7100 (the original note was GT-N7000). Also reported are two color variations -- "ceramic white" and another marked as TBD (to be determined), though black would be a good bet in our opinion.
According to the site's sources, the Note 2 will appear during week 40 (Oct. 1-7), alongside a new "titan grey" Galaxy S3. This also coincides with when we're expecting to see the elusive black Galaxy S3 land on store shelves, so it's possible that "titan grey" is the official marketing name for this new S3 color.
Of course, we're still operating within rumor territory here, so we'll maintain a healthy skepticism until we see the Galaxy Note 2 for ourselves later this week. Keep it locked to AC for live coverage from Berlin as it happens!

Someone other than this guy.
I assume this is a student driver. Either that or a high chair wasn't available.
Regardless, this is GEH-TOE. Although it does leave a ton of leg space in the back seat behind the driver. I just don't want to be responsible for when said driver is physically launched out of the car because IT'S A FUCKING BABY CHAIR.
Kudos for keeping the car super clean, though. You're just full of surprises!

Today's heat wave has everyone cranking up the fans and air conditioners. But some Northern Virginia residents are reaching for ear plugs.
Seems people in a Vienna, Va., neighborhood have come to dread summer because it brings the full-scale return of that high-pitched buzzing sound coming from an unmarked, three-story, federal office building.
It sounds like a helicopter hovering about a block away, our colleague Tom Jackman reports Thursday in his blog, The State of NoVa, and it keeps buzzing, 24 hours a day.
Turns out the building houses the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center, where they deal with national security data such as the no-fly list. There is likely "a lot of heavy-duty computing going on," Jackman writes, "which needs to be kept cool while running around the clock."
The noise comes from 23 air-conditioning units atop the building, each with 10 whirring fans. And it's been driving residents crazy for the last two years, penetrating homes even with their windows closed and the AC going full-blast.
The neighbors have been complaining mightily, holding meetings, trying to get some relief from local and federal officials, the owner — Goldstar Group of Bethesda — and the General Services Administration. (The former tenant, the CIA, was much quieter.)
A Goldstar representative said Wednesday that they were making changes and were "optimistic" that they would reduce the noise.

Since 2011, the idea of the Bikini Basketball League has been in the works. But after the success of the Lingerie Football League, the concept is now going to see the light of day. With teams like the Chicago Desire, Orlando LadyCats, Miami Spice, Los Angeles Ice, New York Knockouts, Hollywood Hotties and Atlanta Fleet Angels already committed to the league, things are moving nicely towards their launch in only 36 days.
According to the league's Twitter account (@bikiniball), tryouts are going to be held in Los Angeles and the Greater Atlanta area. So, tell your friends and/or girlfriends... or just don't tell them at all. Your call.

Victor Shih on the Chinese Economy [Victor Shih via The Browser] [sic]
The biggest misperception about China is that it's a dynamic market economy – it isn't. It's a fast-growing, state-dominated economy with some dynamic, private-market aspects. If you look at investment, a main driver of growth, much of it is going to state-owned enterprises (SOEs) or shareholding companies dominated by state entities. Or it's going directly to government investments carried out at a central or local level. The misperception has abated recently following Richard McGregor's book on the Chinese Communist Party. People are realising that the party is still behind much of what happens in China.
Why would people confess to crimes they didn't commit? [Iowa State University via io9]
Interrogation is frightening. Confessing to something so they can go free immediately may sound better than toughing it out – especially if the suspect believes that they will ultimately be exonerated in a trial. After all, how could they not be exonerated? They're innocent.
Augmented nose sniffs out illegal smells [The New Scientist via io9]
A team led by Rafi Haddad at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, found that an e-nose correctly classified bad odours 90 per cent of the time – even when encountering them for the first time. This accuracy persisted when comparing the e-nose to the opinion of people from Israel and Ethiopia, suggesting that it is chemical structure and biological hard-wiring, not cultural preference, which sets the molecules people find offensive.
Could a pigeon be the next great art critic? [NCBI ROFL via io9]
If the birds pecked a key after viewing a "good" painting, they received a food reward (mmm, birdseed!), but they got no reward if they pecked the key after viewing a "bad" painting. The scientist then set the pigeons loose on the five previously unseen "good" and "bad" paintings. Lo and behold, the birds were able to correctly classify the new paintings, pecking after the new "good" pictures 35% of the time but after the "bad" ones only 15% of the time.
In Death Valley, the rocks move when no one's looking [MSNBC via io9]
When walking through Racetrack Playa, a dried up lake bed in Death Valley, it's not unusual to see these moving rocks, with their long tracks stretched out behind them. They're never moved into any kind of structure, so it's unlikely that humans are doing – although scientists have not ruled out some kind of prank. The occasional rains in southeastern California can flood the lake beds. Rains can create small rivers that go for miles, so parts of the desert can flood even when there isn't a cloud in the sky. But rocks don't float, so how do they manage to move themselves?

Cocaine changes the way your entire genome works [io9]
More than just a hell of a drug, cocaine can alter your genome — potentially for a very long time. It hits the part of your brain associated with reward, and changes the way genomes in this region behave.

Carbon dating shows the world's most mysterious document may be older than previously thought. [Scientific American and Science Blog via io9]
Carbon dating has revealed the book, or at least the paper of the book, to be even earlier than imagined. University of Arizona scientists have announced that the Voynich Manuscript dates back to the early, not late 1400s. It could be a full century older than it appears. The manuscript itself has still not been deciphered, but now that it's not a 1920s hoax, what is it? And if it was created in the early 1400s, but its bathing beauties sport hair popular in the late 1400s, why is it so prescient about women's hairstyles?

In the NFL, I was ostracized from Day One — not by my teammates but by my defensive coordinator. I was drafted by the Bears in 1983. My first day walking into Halas Hall, I met Buddy Ryan. He knew I'd gone to Notre Dame, and he asked me if I was one of those doctors or lawyers. I said, "Yes, sir." He said, "Well, you won't be here too long, because I don't like smart niggers."

In Census, Young Americans Increasingly Diverse [New York Times]
Instead, growth has come from minorities, particularly Hispanics, as more Latino women enter their childbearing years. Blacks, Asians and Hispanics accounted for about 79 percent of the national population growth between 2000 and 2009, Mr. Johnson said. The result has been a changed American landscape, with whites now a minority of the youth population in 10 states, including Arizona, where tensions over immigration have flared, said William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution.
Coca-Cola's Secret Recipe Finally Revealed (Updated) [This American Life via Time via Gizmodo]
Truth be told though, it's impossible to fully replicate Coke's recipe because there's one ingredient only Coca-Cola can get: fluid extract of coca (which is coca leaves stripped of cocaine). Only one factory can process those leaves and only Coca-Cola has a special deal with the DEA that allows them to use it. So even if the secret is out, we're still missing the Coke in our Cola.

Special Report: U.S. cables detail Saudi royal welfare program [Reuters]
Grandchildren received around $27,000 a month, "according to one contact familiar with the stipends" system, the cable says. Great-grandchildren received about $13,000 and great-great- grandchildren $8,000 a month. "Bonus payments are available for marriage and palace building," according to the cable, which estimates that the system cost the country, which had an annual budget of $40 billion at the time, some $2 billion a year. "The stipends also provide a substantial incentive for royals to procreate since the stipends begin at birth."
Qaddafi YouTube Spoof by Israeli Gets Arab Fans [New York Times]
Mr. Alooshe, who at first did not identify himself on the clip as an Israeli, started receiving enthusiastic messages from all around the Arab world. Web surfers soon discovered that he was a Jewish Israeli from his Facebook profile — Mr. Alooshe plays in a band called Hovevey Zion, or the Lovers of Zion — and some of the accolades turned to curses. A few also found the video distasteful. But the reactions have largely been positive, including a message Mr. Alooshe said he received from someone he assumed to be from the Libyan opposition saying that if and when the Qaddafi regime fell, "We will dance to 'Zenga-Zenga' in the square."

New evidence that life on Earth came from space [PNAS via io9]
Meteors may have seeded the planet with life-giving ammonia. New research adds more weight to the claim that the lifeless Earth may have been helped in the right direction by a stray asteroid. Carbon-containing meteorites found in the Antarctic have nitrogen locked away inside them. And when these meteorites are treated with heat, pressure and water, they emit ammonium — which the researchers argue was the precursor to complex biomolecules that formed the first single-celled creatures. The exciting part? The nitrogen found in the meteorites is measurably different from any found on the Earth. If this hunk of rock isn't our ancient parent, it shows that one like it could very well have been.

Can Al Qaeda Survive the Revolts? [Bruce Riedel via The Daily Beast]
The revolutions in Arab states this winter have demonstrated that the epicenter of al Qaeda's global jihad has long moved away from the Arabs to Pakistan and south Asia. Aside from its branches in Iraq and Yemen it has been marginalized in the Arab world. Even in Iraq the Muslim Brotherhood has attacked it, and even in Gaza, Hamas has attacked it. It has sympathizers and may yet stage a comeback but for now it is on the margin. Thus these democratic changes have tremendous opportunity to weaken al Qaeda further and deal it death blows in countries where new open societies emerge with responsible democratic processes. In Pakistan by contrast, al Qaeda has a host of allies and fellow travelers. It works very closely with the Pakistani Taliban and with Lashkar e Tayyiba. It has long standing ties to the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network. Its leaders still find sanctuary in Pakistan and it helps to murder Pakistani leaders like Benazir Bhutto who fight it. You can't argue with al Qaeda's priorities. Pakistan has the fastest growing nuclear arsenal in the world so it makes sense to put your main effort there.

NFL Week 14 Pick 'Ems
Lines accurate as of Wednesday 8 AM Eastern Time*
Minnesota (+7.5) @ Arizona
Niko: Teddy Bridgewater's play has been alarming over the last few weeks, and a roller coaster the entire season. If the Cardinals can effectively keep AP somewhat at bay as Seattle did last week, Minny will absolutely not be able to keep up with the Arizona offense. Should be a good game Thursday night, but I have Zona covering.
Pete: Everyone should be surprised at the NFL right now. Not because of the game, but the two teams that they actually picked to play on Thursday Night. We finally have a good game on Thursday Night! YAY! Unfortunately, I don't think that the Vikings can keep up with Arizona's tenacious offense. If Teddy Football can play out of his mind, then the Vikings should have a chance, but I just don't see it happening. Arizona covers.
Washington (+3.5) @ Chicago
Niko: Washington has been terrible on the road (0-5); Chicago has been terrible at home (1-5). Flip a coin here. I'll go with the Bears at home.
Pete: Two pretty bad teams, but the Redskins actually have something to play for: a playoff spot. I think Kirk Cousins gets it done here. Washington steals this win and keeps the Giants on the outside looking in.
Pittsburgh (+3) @ Cincinnati
Niko: Even without Le'Veon Bell, is it really far fetched to say the Steelers have the best offensive weapons in football? Antonio Brown, Martavis Bryant, and Markus Wheaton form a ridiculous WR trio, DeAngelo Wiliams is getting it done at a high level in the absence of Bell, and Big Ben is healthy and slinging it. I'll take my chances with Pitt upsetting the Bengals, who are ripe for a colossal letdown down the stretch.
Pete: As a Patriots fan, the Steelers scare me. A lot. When the Pats are fully healthy, there is only one team that can keep up with them, and that's Big Ben and company. I am hoping that the Bengals will win, just because I think they will start losing down the stretch, but I have to go with Pitt here.
San Francisco (+1.5) @ Cleveland
Niko: Cleveland is in turmoil. Pettine has lost the team; Manziel is not in a position to succeed. San Fran isn't great either, but they've looked surprisingly competitive with Blaine Gabbert at the helm. San Fran wins in Cleveland.
Pete: At Manziel's short benching, I think he comes out and has a great game. Out of college, we thought Johnny Football was going to be the next great thing. All the talent and ability is there, but like Niko said, he isn't in the right situation to succeed. I have the Browns here, but its a true toss up.
San Diego (+10) @ Kansas City
Niko: KC will beat San Diego at home, but 10 points is a lot. I'll say a Philip Rivers garbage time TD toss to Danny Woodhead gives the Chargers the cover.
Pete: Kansas City is surprisingly competing for a playoff spot, after starting off the year pretty bad. Like Niko said, thats a big point spread. I think that KC will win, but the Chargers should cover.
Detroit (+1) @ St. Louis
Niko: No matter how "Lions" that loss to Green Bay was last Thursday, I just can't pick the Rams with their QB situation as is. Matt Stafford and co get it done in St. Louis. Lions win.
Pete: Both teams aren't particularly good, but I guess I will go with the lesser of two evils and pick the Lions. They have been playing some good football over the past couple of weeks.
Tennessee (+7) @ New York Jets
Niko: The good news for Jets fans is that they're playing solid football and are back in the mix for a playoff spot. The bad news is they still have the Pats on the schedule and that they have to play at Buffalo week 17, in what could decide their season. Regardless, New York covers at home against the Titans this weekend.
Pete: The Jets are finally back on track and playing some relatively decent football. I think that they get the win here at home against a pretty bad Titans squad.
Buffalo (-1.5) @ Philadelphia
Niko: Philly is riding high after their season saving win at Gillette on Sunday (pulling my hair out just thinking of it). I liked them a lot at the beginning of the season, then hopped off the bus, and for one week at least, will hop back on. Lincoln Financial should be rocking. The Eagles take care of business at home.
Pete: It must suck to live in Philly. All your teams SUCK. I guess they have Rocky, though. This is such a terrible game, who even cares. Buffalo just to be different.
New Orleans (+3.5) @ Tampa Bay
Niko: Tampa has won 4 of 6 and Jameis Winston looks like the real deal. I'll take the Bucs at home. With a soft few games after NO (@ Rams, Bears), they may even be a wildcard team in the playoffs.
Pete: I am not a big Jameis Winston guy, but the Bucs are playing some good football lately. Nevertheless, I can't pick against Drew Brees. Too good, too experienced. New Orleans.
Atlanta (+7) @ Carolina
Niko: Carolina should cover this at home. Atlanta has to do some major self-analyzing this offseason.
Pete: This game really is the Falcons' season. However, they are a complete dumpster fire. Carolina stays undefeated for another week.
Indianapolis (off) @ Jacksonville
Niko: I can't stand Indy, but I have to admit Matt Hasselbeck has truly had a remarkable season. He's basically carried the Colts the entire way and is one of the main reasons they're still in quasi-contention. I just don't think he can keep it up, especially now with a banged up neck and ribs. I'll take Jacksonville at home.
Pete: Jacksonville is just so bad. Indy easily.
Seattle (-6) @ Baltimore
Niko: Seattle should blow out the Ravens. They'll coast until their showdown with Zona week 17.
Pete: Baltimore blows. Seattle is starting to find it again and looking like the team that was within 1 play from winning Super Bowl 49.
Oakland (+7.5) @ Denver
Niko: Denver will win this game, but I can see it being a low scoring slugfest, similar to the first meeting (16-10 Broncos). I'll take the points and go with the Raidahs.
Pete: Denver is almost impossible to beat at home. If this game was in Oakland, I'd give it to the Raiders, but well, you know.
Dallas (+7.5) @ Green Bay
Niko: Both teams had huge wins last week, but I just can't see a Cassel led attack keeping up with Aaron Rodgers and his offense. The momentum from that "Hail Mary" will carry on as well. Packers cover at home.
Pete: Green Bay is NOT the team that we thought they were. However, Dallas is in shambles. Green Bay should win this game with ease, especially in Lambeau.
New England (-3.5) @ Houston
Niko: This will be a tough one. Going to (shocker) go Pats here, mainly because of the defense. They'll need to step up while the offense is trying to re-invent itself on the fly. Extended thoughts coming this weekend in the Roundtable.
Pete: If Dont'a Hightower plays, the Patriots win easily. If he's out for another week, this will be a toss up. Extended thoughts when the injury report comes out and the Roundtable this weekend.
New York Giants (-1.5) @ Miami
Niko: The Giants play their best football with their backs against the wall. Their backs are officially against the wall. Giants win on the road.
Pete: Miami is so bad, but this is their time to shine: when the games mean literally nothing. However, I think they will win, just because I hate the Giants with every bone in my body.

So why is this even needed? It comes down to fuel economy. Automakers are continually looking at ways to reduce fuel consumption through techniques such as variable cylinder management (reducing the number of cylinders in operation under light engine load) and operating the engine at lower RPM. Some automakers are even cutting back on passive damping materials to decrease vehicle weight. These approaches do indeed reduce consumption, but they also result in more engine noise permeating the vehicle cabin, creating a noisier ride for occupants. To address the problem, noise vibration and harshness engineers (OEM engineers responsible for characterizing and improving sound quality in vehicles) are using innovative sound technologies such as active noise control (ANC).
Automotive ANC technology is analogous to the technology used in noise-cancelling headphones but is more difficult to implement, as developers must optimize the system based on the unique acoustic characteristics of the cabin interior. An ANC system must be able to function alongside a variety of other audio processing tasks such as audio playback, voice recognition, and hands-free communication.
The QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control solution uses realtime engine data and sampled microphone data from the cabin to construct the "anti-noise" signal played over the car speakers.
So how does ANC work?
According to the principle of superposition, sound waves will travel and reflect off glass, the dash, and other surfaces inside the car; interfere with each other; and yield a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude to the original wave. The result varies according to where in the passenger compartment the signal is measured. At some locations, the waves will "add" (constructive interference); at other locations, the waves will "subtract" or cancel each other (destructive interference). Systems must be tuned and calibrated to ensure optimal performance at driver and passenger listening positions (aka "sweet spots").
To reduce offending low-frequency engine tones (typically <150 Hz), an ANC system typically requires real-time engine data (including RPM) in addition to signals from the cabin microphones. The ANC system then synthesizes and emits "anti-noise" signals that are directly proportional but inverted to the original offending engine tones, via the car's speakers. The net effect is a reduction of the offending tones.
According to the superposition principle of sound waves, a noise signal and an anti-noise signal will cancel each other if the signals are 180 degrees out of phase. Image adapted from Wikipedia.
Achieving optimal performance for these in-vehicle systems is complex, and here's why. First off, there are multiple sources of sound inside a car — some desirable and some not. These include the infotainment system, conversation between vehicle occupants, the engine, road, wind, and structural vibrations from air intake valves or the exhaust. Also, every car interior has unique acoustic characteristics. The location and position of seats; the position, number, and type of speakers and microphones; and the materials used inside the cabin all play a role in how an ANC system performs.
To be truly effective, an ANC solution must adapt quickly to changes in vehicle cabin acoustics that result from changes in acceleration and deceleration, windows opening and closing, changes in passenger seat positions, and temperature changes. The solution must also be robust; it shouldn't become unstable or degrade the audio quality inside the cabin should, for example, a microphone stop working.
The solution for every vehicle model must be calibrated and tuned to achieve optimal performance. Besides the vehicle model, engine noise characteristics, and number and arrangement of speakers and microphones, the embedded platform being used also plays a role when tuning the system. System tuning can, with conventional solutions, take months to reach optimal performance levels. Consequently, solutions that ease and accelerate the tuning process, and that integrate seamlessly into a customer's application, are highly desirable.
Automotive ANC solutions — then and now
Most existing ANC systems for engine noise require a dedicated hardware control module. But automakers are beginning to realize that it's more cost effective to integrate ANC into existing vehicle hardware systems, such as the infotainment head unit. This level of integration facilitates cooperation between different audio processing tasks, such as managing a hands-free call and reducing noise in the cabin.
Earlier today, QNX announced the availability of a brand new software product that targets ANC for engine tone reduction in passenger vehicles. It's a flexible, software-based solution that can be ported to floating or fixed-point DSPs or application processors, including ARM, SHARC, and x86, and it supports systems with or without an OS. A host application that executes on the vehicle's head unit or audio amplifier manages ANC through the library's API calls. As a result, the host application can fully integrate ANC functionality with its other audio tasks and control the entire acoustic processing chain.
Eliminating BOM costs
The upshot is that the QNX ANC solution can match or supersede the performance of a dedicated hardware module — and we have the benchmarks to show it. Let me leave you with some of the highlights of the QNX Acoustics for Active Noise Control solution:
- Significantly better performance than dedicated hardware solutions — The QNX solution can provide up to 9dB of reduction at the driver's head position compared to 5dB for a comparative hardware solution in the same vehicle under the same conditions.
- Significant BOM cost savings — Eliminates the cost of a dedicated hardware module.
- Flexible and configurable — Can be integrated into the application processor or DSP of an existing infotainment system or audio amplifier, and can run on systems with or without an OS, giving automakers implementation choices. Also supports up to 6 microphone and 6 speaker-channel configurations.
- Faster time to market — Speeds development by shortening tuning efforts from many months to weeks. Also, a specialized team of QNX acoustic engineers can provide software support, consulting, calibration, and system tuning.

My April and May blocks are finally done (for now). More details on my Tuesday Stitchers group post that will be up Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. Can you believe it? Five trees in one week! I had to play catch up because I had left my materials at my daughter's house last week and was unable to work on it. I didn't want to fall any further behind so I concentrated my efforts on getting these done.
Below are all my tags to date. I am so happy I will have these to use as reference in the future. I had no idea there were over 52 stitches. I feel like this is such a great opportunity to learn and appreciate Sharon over at PinTangle for leading the pack and being such an inspiration.
You can see all of my tags to date in more detail by clicking on the TAST tab near the top of my blog. (P.S. I had to show you the photo above so you could see they really are all the same base fabric ~ lol).

CSC Commissioner Robert S. Martinez led the conferment of awards and was assisted by Director IV Rodolfo B. Encajonado, Acting Director III Cherry G. de la Cruz, Director II Rufino G. Leonoras (Concurrent Head, PSED), Mr. Leo F. Jamorin (Chief HRS, PALD), and Field Directors. In his message, Commissioner Martinez lauded the awardees for their achievement.
"The CSC is greatly heartened to see the realization of what can be considered an aspiration ten years ago when it was identified to lead the implementation of RA No. 9485- an efficient public service, one that is genuinely felt by people. Gradual as it may have been, we now stand witness to a transformation in the way we serve the Filipino people after all of our hard-earned efforts," he said.
"To those recognized for reaching Maturity Level II on at least one core HR system under the conditions set under PRIME-HRM, you have every reason to be proud… Thank you for taking full advantage of PRIME-HRM as a tool to transform your respective HR systems," Commissioner Martinez added.
With the theme "Lingkod-Bayani," the Recognition Program gave honor not just to the agency but also to the men and women behind its success- the officials and employees who have each made their contribution in delivering quality public service.
"Let us persevere and work together to make the civil service relevant in the establishment of a citizen-centered, innovative, efficient, effective and inclusive public service. Sama sama po nating baguhin ang pananaw ng ating mga kababayan sa paraan ng ating paglilingkod- mula sa 'pwede na' tungo sa tunay naming kahanga-hangang uri ng pagseserbisyo," said Commissioner Martinez.

According to colorist and educator Mark Debolt, the greatest blonde finishes contain both warms and cools. For this session, Debolt chose to place "oyster" against apricot.
"It works because it looks most natural and interesting," he says. "It recreates what the sun would do naturally." Debolt points out that this multi-dimensional color takes the same amount of time as a single process.
Using Wella's Color I.D., a color additive that allows color to be placed next to color without foils or risk of bleed, Debolt took a double-process blonde with some new growth and applied three shades to the hair, placing at different areas along the strands, divided between the mids and ends.
"There are so many reasons I love Color I.D.," Debolt says. "It allows for freehand painting and for the colorist to sculpt hair. It's putting the fun and creativity back into haircolor."
Debolt uses the additive that alters the texture of the formulation to keep it from bleeding, as an alternative to foil. "It's faster and easier," he says, "and less abrasive to the hair. The colors do not blend and allows me to color with intuition."

1. Blend colors using Color I.D.
2. Apply shade at the base, just on regrowth to create illusion of depth, using ¼ inch sections throughout. At the nape, go a bit longer to create a deeper depth. Formula used: Illumina equal parts 8/38 and 8/1 with 20-volume Koleston Perfect Crème.
3. While processing, go to the back. Using ½ inch horizontal sections, apply formula 1 to midlengths: Illumina equal parts 9/43 and 8/69 with 10-volume Koleston Perfect Crème to create a blush blonde.
4. Apply formula 2 to ends: Illumina equal parts 10/05 and 8/05 with 10-volume Koleston Perfect Crème. Color created: oyster blonde.
5. In next section, apply formula 3 to the midlengths: Illumina 9/43 and 10/69 with 10-volume Koleston Perfect Crème. Color created: apricot blonde.
6. Now start mixing up color placement at the crown. In this section apply formula 1 to ends. Continue throughout, alternating the shades on different sections of the hair.
7. When applying color to the base area along the top and front, apply just to regrowth.
8. Once all color is applied, twist, braid, connect and "play" — the color will not bleed.
9. Process 25 minutes. Rinse, shampoo and condition.
10. Once dry, pull out 1-inch sections and apply heat protecting spray to the lengths.
11. Use a curling wand to create invisible curls in 1-inch horizontal sections. Place the wand near the base and take the lengths and ends and twist to the smaller end.
12. Clip invisible rods and allow to cool. Then, brush out.

I've always been one for bags. I've always had a bit of a thing for them. In recent times though I've upgraded my bag collection in some areas and completely downsized in others. Although my bag arsenal include the likes of Louis Vuitton and Micheal Kors, but I absolutely believe in high quality and affordable fashion stuff that we don't have to think twice before buying them. I am mentioning this because I chose Anna Grace only because I found it really good and not just for the sake of a review.
In the same way that some people feel driven to spend their time looking for that monster we have heard in fairytales to prove it's real, I like to look for affordable, high-quality stuff that the average person like me can afford. Recently, I stumbled upon one of the emails I received, and got the opportunity to work with this brand 'Anna grace' and I am really excited to introduce it to all of you .
My mission to work on a fashion blog translates to have a platform that encourages high quality and simplicity, with an emphasis on repeated wearability. And because you have to be able to afford the pieces if you're going to use them as your closet staples, this brand 'Anna Grace' is also very affordable for their quality. The brands ideology is that ladies shouldn't always have to rush to the costliest stores when looking for innovative styles that blend sophistication with the fine art of quality manufacturing.
The extremely gorgeous bag that I am currently obsessed with is in faux leather in brown colour , the kind of brown no-one can dislike . It has a superb texture and speaks for its quality and panache . There is no need to take distant pictures of this beauty that may distract my readers to know the quality . Hence I have taken zoomed up pictures of this 'Anna Grace' bag that will clearly give you an idea why I chose to review it .
'Anna Grace' is about having the option to choose the middle route. This brand wants your girlfriends to ask you where you got your bag from. It wants you to flaunt your bag without fretting about the material chipping. Because the faux leather that all the AG bags are made with is one that you can trust and is top-notch. The best part is that there is a huge variety of styles. I loved so many designs that it was hard for me to choose from and you may agree with me as you go check the variety available for yourself. Just go for it guys because I believe that this is the best deal you can make for this christmas shopping. Yaaay!
You can see , drool over and shop the brand here. You can also order at Amazon.
Do share your views and feel free to ask any questions or queries. Also don't forget to follow @scoopsnvogue on Instagram. And have you subscribed my blog yet?

One of my all time favorite tricks is to mix ultra feminine pieces, like this silk dress with masculine ones, in this case the combat boots.
Combat boots are not worn anymore only by punk kids from the 90's and, their renaissance in popularity have fashionistas styling them in so many different ways.
To be completely honest, I love this boots in every combination possible, but by far my go to look is with an ultra feminine dress.
I alway enjoyed to make this type of fashion contradictions, because I can mix together my girlie side with my tomboy-ish one… which I truly love them equally.
The combination between a summer-ish silk dress and a pair of combat boots it is extremely chic and very sophisticated. If you want to achieve more of a fall look, it is easy to layer it with any type of jacket.
I know that in So Cal it still feels like summer, even if it's October and Halloween is just around the corner. I felt that this look is perfect for a end of summer fashion inspiration.
If you are not quite ready to give up all the light weight fabrics, so I'm telling you: simply don't! If you are in the mood to play a little, go outside the norm, do some layering and incorporate them in outfits that are going to keep you warm.
Dress and Jacket: H&M
Boots: Zara
Bag: Karl Lagerfeld

RIP Manuel López Ochoa
Actor ands singer Manueol López Ochoa died on 25 October 2011 in Los Angeles. López Ochoa was a radio announcer and singer who achieved his greatest success in the role of "Chucho el Roto," a character he played on the radio for more than a decade, in a popular telenovela, and in a series of four feature films.
José Manuel López Ochoa was born in the state of Tabasco on 7 July 1933. He became a radio announcer in his home state, then moved to Mexico City where he added television work to his repertoire. Jorge "Che" Reyes heard the young man sing and promoted his transition to actor and singer in the early 1960s. López Ochoa, who grew up in a rural environment, worked primarily in the ranchera and Western genres, although he would occasionally take "civilian" roles. In addition to his movie work, he also starred in a number of telenovelas. Some of López Ochoa's films were remakes or movies using pre-existing characters--in addition to the Chucho el Roto series, he starred in new versions of Quinto Patio, Me he de comer esa tuna, and Angelitos negros. He also incarnated comic book hero "Alma Grande" in two films. López Ochoa moved to the United States and made at least one movie there, Cacería de traficantes. His final large- and small-screen performances came in the late 1980s and early 1990s. - David Wilt Mexican Film Bulletin

Tennis seemed to be the most popular sport if judged by how many times tennis outfit were featured.
|'Tennis days are here again'
'Now that the long, light evenings are back again, everybody is on the tennis courts getting ready for the summer tournaments, and smart "woolies" are by no means the least important item of equipment. The jumper shown above has two essentially practical features - the short, capelet sleeves, which leave the arms gloriously free to serve and smash and volley, and the deep, tight fitting basque which prevents the jumper from "riding up" with every movement. The jumper is knitted in a pretty fancy stitch in white, with narrow ribbed edgings of scarlet'.
It makes me wish that I could play tennis just so that I could wear it.
The next few pictures are from the same issue. This coat is stunning.
|'Tennis woolies are so smart'
I love the idea of adding a red beret to make it a walking set. It puts my walking clothes firmly to shame!
|A dress motif for a tennis player
|'A coat of arms for the tennis player!'
|'The "Coat of Arms" is shown here on a
regulation sports blazer'.
The magazine suggests the following colours - Greys, Apple Green, Light Rose, Light Madder Pink, Light Electric Blue, Ochre Yellow, Light Periwinkle Blue. I always enjoy it when magazines with black and white illustrations do this as it gives a clearer sense of what the designer was imagining. I also love to read the names of the colours.
The next two jumpers are from the July 1934 issue.
|'A waistcoat Pull-over for sport or town wear'.
You might be interested to know that the larger than average size referred to is a 36" bust! I really like the stitch pattern and the buttons and red and white for tennis must have been a trend that year!
|'A useful jumper for tennis and holiday wear'.
I think this is lovely, the construction sounds very interesting.
Now to March 1939.
|A LUX advert
|LUX advert close up
Next we are looking golf clothing which seems to be the second most popular after tennis. These next images are from the September 1934 issue.
|'For golf or smart country wear'
'On the golf course, or, in fact, for any sports wear, you will find this the most practical and comfortable garment - there is nothing to get out of place or disarranged. Worn either as a jumper or a cardigan it fits snugly to the figure and may be buttoned right up to the neck or turned back in small revers, if the last two or three buttons are left undone. Knitted in a lighter shade, it would be perfect for Autumn and Winter tennis. The shoulder yoke at the back and front is worked in a pretty twisted rib and the little patch pockets (such a boon to golfers for tees and tennis players for that elusive hankie!) add a smart and businesslike touch.'
|'On the banks and braes o' bonnie Scotland'
'Long days on the Scottish moors - shooting, fishing, playing golf - and here is just the jumper you will need. It is designed for comfort, with the new loose fitting circular neck which is fastened at the back with three buttons. The stocking stitch and ribbing in which it is knitted are light and yet close enough to keep out the first chill of autumn, while the serviceable pockets add a smart touch to this essentially sporting model'.
Moving on to January 1936.
|'A "Lighning" fastened woollen jumper gives
warmth for winter'
'Whether it is for vigorous golf, for walk or for "spectator sporting" a girl would be hard put to find a more trimly attractive jumper than this. The knitting is done in 3-ply knitting wool, fastened with an 18 inch long Lightning fastener which gives a smooth, neat finish, and ensures protection against the cold. Note the youthful little turn down collar and the very attractive stitch used in the knitting'.
In the September 1937 issue there is this jumper:
|'A "tweedy" knitted golf sweater'
Having covered tennis and golf we will take a look at a couple of other sports. Firstly, swimming in July 1938:
|'Knit this for your August holiday outfit'
|'Bathing suit with detachable skirt'
'This neat model features everything that could be desired in a bathing suit - well shaped, beautifully fitting, and equipped with a detachable skirt'.
In December 1937 we get an ice skating outfit which is made using crochet.
|LUX advert
I like the fact that you are given styling advice. Again, this pattern was available if a Lux box top was sent off.
From July 1938:
|In colour on the cover
|'For your holidays'
'For tramping, sailing, tennis and more active pursuits'.
From September 1938:
|In colour on the cover
|'yellow boucle jumper'
So, lots to choose from for our sporting activities. Any catch your eye?

UA Science Technology Commercialization Support
University Intellectual Property (IP) can become the basis of new products or services that are licensed by an existing or new company, a process and outcome well understood in Arizona's entrepreneurial, science and technology-centric community. Many top scholars in science desire to create an impact beyond the laboratory and classroom. To attract and retain such talented people The University of Arizona (UA) must have a world-class technology transfer operation. For many reasons and for many stakeholders technology transfer is increasingly integrating into academic culture. The Office of Technology Transfer (OTT) is a unit within a broader operation at The UA called Tech Launch AZ (TLA). Central to the mission of TLA is to reenergize the commercialization process at UA.
Laura Silva is an embedded Licensing Manager within OTT and the College of Science. Laura's role as a Licensing Manager is to pro-actively work with College of Science faculty and their inventions, ensuring greater cohesion among College of Science faculty, students, staff and OTT. In particular, Laura works with OTT aiding in the efficient processing of new invention disclosures, licensing and business development-related activities. Primary objectives include providing process support services to faculty in order to successfully commercialize IP.

A month before Sony announced the Xperia Z2 — and quite some time after the release of the Xperia Z1 — the company brought the flagship to America's T-Mobile, so about the only choice you had, if you were in the US, and wanted an Xperia Z1, was to go with the Magenta version. Now that the Z2 is out (or should be soon, but not necessarily in the US), Sony has released a version of the Z1 which appears to be compatible with most US LTE networks.
This unlocked Sony Xperia Z1 LTE is compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile bands, as well as some from Canada, if you're a traveler. It will set you back $619.99, and, aside from being compatible with said operators, brings nothing else to the table. It's just your good old Xperia Z1, but hey, it did well in our review. Still, it's not the latest Sony flagship.
