Modern Magic in Light (Oct, 1927)
Modern Magic in Light
"Music" Played by Colors, Statues Dance to Help Solve Problems of Illumination
By ROBERT E. MARTIN
THE marvels of light from its crude yesterdays to its present brilliance, with a glimpse of future splendors that now seem quite incredible, are shown to visitors at a unique permanent exhibition. It is a museum and a laboratory with a factory adjacent. We see what has been, is and may be in the field of illumination.
Light used to be regarded as just something to see by. Here we find it is a force, a substance, an aesthetic material. Light is not immediately audible yet it will carry words and song. We used to think that the only virtue of light was to illuminate darkness; now we find there is more light in the dark than there is in the light. People have been "sunburned" in a dark room. They have been photographed without a speck of visible light.
Would you like to see the original incandescent lamp of 1878 which Thomas A. Edison gave the world? Here it is. Near by is a sample of red whisker— human hair—which the great inventor to whom we owe all modern illumination tried to convert into a filament. We see an interesting contrast in modernity. A giant lamp the size of a pumpkin and a dwarf the size of a pea. The big fellow uses 30,000 watts, emits 100,000 candle-power or ten times the sunlight in the Sahara desert, and costs two dollars an hour to operate. The little fellow uses about one sixth of a watt, emits one tenth candlepower and costs ten cents a year. Both are shortlived freaks compared with the average lamp that gives us one thousand hours of service.
WE ARE visiting the Edison Lighting Institute of the General Electric Company. Most of the basic scientific research for the concern is carried on elsewhere. Here at Harrison, New Jersey, is the place of practical application of discoveries, a free museum and a showroom without salesmen. Still the men here do originate many things in practical application. Take Henry Schroeder, whose history of electric light has been published by the Smithsonian Institution; A. L. Powell, virtuoso of eye music and expert in paint color values; Berthold Audsley, model maker and artist; L. C. Porter, who takes night flights in Government planes to see whether an airway is rightly beaconed. Imagine flying over your own lighting layout.
There is an auditorium with a stage and all sorts of weird and instructive shows. Someone flips a tumbler switch. With a slight buzz and clatter window curtains of the divided sort close and the auditorium becomes pitch dark. The stage curtains open and close in the same manner. It is all done simply enough by an electric motor above each opening. Automatic curtains are also used to shut off rooms which surround the Institute auditorium, neatly furnished to represent the average home, including living room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen and bath. Here a dozen ways of home lighting are demonstrated. We learn that the best general method is a center bowl which throws light against a white ceiling to be reflected downward. Of course auxiliary reading lamps and special local fixtures are also needed, while wall candelabra serve an ornamental purpose. There is a display of lamp shades. One is a curled porcelain fish whose green mouth spews foamy light through a cascade of translucent beads.
VISITORS are apt to regard the automatic curtains and other devices as amusing tricks. It is difficult at times to know whether we are witnessing a scientific demonstration or merely a funny stunt. A galloping flivver that shivers over a bumpy road is one of a series of light illusions. A dancer performs with grace and vigor. She is a plaster statue and all the dancing is done by the light that frolics over her. Then there is an oil painting of a ship at sea. Suddenly the ship is replaced by a tugboat. Nothing has been changed in the picture, but a different color of light has blotted out the large craft and revealed the small one.
Eye music is played on the fluted folds of the gray stage curtain. The tones, derived from the spectrum, red to violet, glow and fade, blend and dissolve harmoniously one into another, make us sad and glad, dreamy and excited. Peaceful blue drifts into a romantic moonlight, which becomes luxurious purple, leading imperceptibly to an active yellow and then to a trumpeting martial red. The eye music is accompanied with appropriate ear music of opera or symphony orchestra.
The instrument of the new art is a color organ. It is a medium sized box with eight lever handles of rheostats to increase and diminish light. The colors are in the individually colored lamps of the footlights and overhead lights of the auditorium stage, which, unseen by the audience, cast their glows on the curtain. It is a surprise to find that the individual lamp colors are simply red, blue, green and amber. Powell improvises, making eye music according to the inspiration of the moment. His music is not written. Perhaps some day a Bach of eye music will devise a recording system and compose works that others may play on their own light organs.
Five lighting systems are shown in the auditorium—direct, enclosing globe, semi-indirect, totally indirect and totally indirect with luminous bowl. All are in bowls. If you wish to see the glare of unshaded light—a primitive method which will be abolished before long—there is an example in the industrial room—a direct glare. Click! buzz!—The same light in a frosted bulb gently diffuses illumination. Does the color of walls and ceiling make much difference in lighting? Watch!
The white panels of this room are reversed, showing their slate-colored backs. The light is the same but fifteen percent of it is wasted, absorbed by the slate color. Very dark walls steal half to three-quarters of all the light. The moral is that paint is cheaper than electricity and light wall paper will cut down the monthly bill for current.
IN various rooms are globes, two to seven feet in diameter, made of metal in flanged sections. Each has a curved hinged door besides other attachments. These globes are photometers, for measuring light. They are white inside, to reflect all the light of a lamp placed within. They are spherical in shape because light spreads equally in all directions from a central source and we want to measure the total output of a lamp. The smallest sphere of two feet diameter has at its center a tiny lamp of one candlepower intensity. This is the basic unit of light. Each inside square foot of the sphere receives an intensity of one foot-candle or an amount that is termed one lumen. There are 12.57 square feet of internal area, so the total output is 12.57 foot-candles in intensity and the same number of lumens in amount.
Since the ordinary home lamp of forty watts yields about ten lumens per watt, its total output is 400 lumens or over thirty times that of the basic candle-power lamp—probably sixty times that of the actual tallow candle used by our ancestors.
Let us look into the eyepiece of a photometer and test our skill as a judge of light values. A pink dot appears in the center of a large glow. We turn a thumb screw until we fade out the pink dot and produce a uniform brightness. Now glance at this lumen scale. We have done well for a first attempt—only four percent error. But if the eye is the judge, will not even the expert's eye occasionally bring in a false verdict? Yes. Science has lately met and overcome this criticism. Here we have a square box the size of a large camera. It contains a mechanical eye which looks inside the photometer sphere and makes an unbiased, 100 percent correct report. Yes, it is a photo-electric cell, the marvelous device that gives us talking pictures and television.
Somebody says that while the modern lamp is sixty times better than the tallow 31 candle, it is sixty times lower in efficiency than the firefly's lantern. Is that so? Yes, roughly. And is the difference accounted for by the loss of energy in heat in the case of the electric lamp? No, the heat loss is small compared with the loss of invisible rays emitted at both ends of the spectrum. In vacuum lamps only eight percent and in gas-filled lamps twenty-five percent of energy is dissipated as heat. Most of the power escapes in below-red and above-violet unseen rays, leaving us a small fraction of useful illumination.
White light is a mistake from the efficiency standpoint. It has a theoretical maximum of 265 lumens per watt. Yellow-green light, used by the firefly and other wise insects, is good for 620 lumens per watt. Compare with this our ordinary achievement of ten lumens—or twenty for high power lamps—per watt. The white light or so-called optical efficiency of the average lamp is six to eight percent, but compared with the insect yellow-green output it is less than two percent. We may note that gas-filled lamps, while wasting much more energy as heat than the vacuum type, surpass the latter in illumination, because the higher temperature of filament permitted by gas-filling results in a greater output of visible rays.
LET us rest our figure-laden minds with J a visit to the model room where a toy house is being furnished and painted, a knee-high locomotive stands ready to go under 200 pounds steam pressure, and the turn of a switch illuminates a multitude of thumb-size saints in the stained glass window of a miniature cathedral. The amiable toy artist is Audsley. He made that cathedral entirely with a pocket-knife. Not long ago he built a 400-pound electric locomotive in his home attic. It took some engineering to bring that model down the attic stairs.
Such toys, capable of real performance, serve a wider purpose than entertainment. They may be used for tests of principles, designs and materials. All kinds of new lighting schemes may be experimented with in a tiny cathedral or house.
Perhaps the most intriguing model reproduces an American street. There are skyscrapers fully two feet in height, shops with plate glass windows, a movie palace with winking colored lights, familiar signs of commerce. Flip! Tall street lamps glow. Flip! Shop windows light up. The moderate illumination of the average small city. But the city hall remains in gloomy dimness. Flip! Its cornices glow with screened radiance that reveals the architectural outlines and accents the stately pillars. This model demonstrates all kinds of street lighting and shop lighting with the relations between the two. What almost any city has and might have may be vividly illustrated.
We are surprised to learn that the famous White Way or theatrical section of Broadway, New York, is not the world's best lighted street—at least not by virtue of its street lamps, which are relatively few and faint. It owes its brilliance—uneven and confused—to a multitude of commercial signs, especially those that blink and jiggle from lofty points of vantage. State Street, Chicago, is the best lighted street in America and perhaps the world from the standpoint of rationally planned, even illumination.
SOME visitors are favored with a trip through the factory where we see the whole fascinating process of lamp making from the blowing of molten glass to the inner frosting of bulbs and the coiling of tungsten filament wire. The first impression is of large quiet spaces, with a casual distribution of machines and a striking scarcity of human operators. A dozen girls and two or three men seem to be the total personnel in one department. Yet production is at full blast. This is the triumph of modern machinery which has dispensed with scores and even hundreds of human hands.
The second impression is that everything revolves. Every machine with all its parts demonstrates the first law of the cosmos, which is revolution. It rolls with stateliness on its vertical axis while a host of satellites spin and gyrate at higher speeds. It is the perfect measured dance of planets and of atoms.
We perceive gradually another motion —the reciprocal or back and forth movement. Used sparingly, it plays a vital part. Vital indeed seem those metal fingers that pick and push and squeeze and withdraw and do a hundred tricky feats.
In a basement are bins of a grayish fine sand, nitre, sacks of white lime and a few other materials for making glass. On the floor above are half a dozen furnaces, each with a capacity of 150 tons of glass. Fuel oil has superseded gas as heat source. It takes three weeks of gradually increased heat to put a furnace in operation—otherwise the sixteen-inch walls of fire clay brick would fail—and once going it is kept at a temperature around 2700 degrees Fahrenheit for a year or so. Glass is made continuously day and night, except Sunday.
IN FRONT of each furnace stands a revolving turret. Metal fingers reach into a pool of white hot glass, withdraw two incandescent viscous lumps and deposit them in a pair of moving cups in the turret. The white lumps elongate by gravity, a puff of air makes them pear shaped, then they are encased in a mold of divided halves and blown to full size. They emerge instantly as red-hot bulbs which roll away on an asbestos belt and pass the test of a coldblooded mechanical critic. The machine produces 64,000 bulbs in its twenty-four-hour day.
A lamp-making machine takes bulbs, bits of glass tube, filament, socket bases, and converts them into lamps at the rate of 2000 a day. A crew of five girls feeds such a machine.
Arabian Nights? Here is all kinds of magic more fascinating, genuine and useful.

THE ARCHBISHOP of York has been asked to intervene to help end the deadlock over efforts to give Yorkshire more control over its own affairs.
Keighley MP John Grogan revealed he had asked John Sentamu if he would help bring all sides together to find a way forward.
Speaking in the Commons, Mr Grogan said a "higher authority" was needed to find a solution to the long-running wrangle which has left Yorkshire without powers and money enjoyed by other parts of the country.
Dr Sentamu has told Mr Grogan he will consult with the bishops of Leeds and Sheffield over the best way they can help.
Speaking in a special debate he had secured on Yorkshire devolution, Mr Grogan criticised the Government for insisting the election of a mayor goes ahead in May as part of the Sheffield City Region devolution deal despite the opposition of Barnsley and Doncaster.
The Sheffield City Region group of councils agreed a deal two years ago which should have seen a metro-mayor elected this year and delivered an extra £30m a year in Government funding for the area.
But a subsequent legal challenge, the withdrawal of Bassetlaw and Chesterfield and disputes between the remaining South Yorkshire councils led to the election being postponed.
And last month, Barnsley and Doncaster said they no longer wanted to push ahead after joining 15 other Yorkshire authorities to back the alternative One Yorkshire plan to elect a single mayor for the whole region.
But the Government has insisted the Sheffield City Region deal cannot be undone and the mayoral election must go ahead.
For legal reasons, if the election goes ahead without Barnsley and Doncaster's support the mayor will have few powers.
Mr Grogan said: "Are they seriously going to impose an expensive mayoral election on the people of South Yorkshire when two of the four authorities are opposed to this?
"Are they seriously going to do that for a mayor who will have no powers and no money."
Mr Grogan, who read out part of The Yorkshire Post's editorial from earlier in the day on the importance of One Yorkshire, called on the Government to meet the 17 councils supporting the One Yorkshire plan, arguing the region needs a "strong elected voice, a champion for the whole of Yorkshire".
But Northern Powerhouse Minister Jake Berry said the Sheffield City Region deal had been agreed by the four South Yorkshire councils who had confirmed they wanted to go ahead on three occasions.
He said the Sheffield City Region deal was one of the most "generous" of those struck around the country and blamed Barnsley and Doncaster's withdrawal on "factionalism and infighting" among Labour in South Yorkshire.
"The people of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield deserve the devolution they have been promised," he said.
In a further sign of the Government's determination to press ahead, he told the Commons the Conservatives were now going ahead and selecting a candidate ready for next year's Sheffield City Region election.
Groups of councils in areas across the country have come together to agree to the election of a metro-mayor who takes over powers and money from Whitehall in areas such as transport and skills.
In May, metro-mayors including former health secretary Andy Burnham and ex-John Lewis chief executive Andy Street were elected in Greater Manchester and the West Midlands respectively with others taking office in Liverpool, the West of England and Tees Valley.

Cobb's Honesty and Rays Diligence Could Save More Than His Career.
It is so easy for a pitcher to rule numbness and "tingles" throughout their arm as just the offshoot symptoms of a "dead arm" syndrome. His team could also push off the discomfort and pain towards that same side of the coin, and just let a pitcher works his way out of the situation. But I want to take the time to commend both the Rays Medical Staff and Rays Manager Joe Maddon and his crew in their swift and concise decision making process concerning rookie pitcher Alex Cobb.
Cobb is a budding, talented young pitcher who could have easily tried to hide his condition on Saturday night in fear of losing his place in the rotation, or possibly again being demoted back to the minors. Cobb could have taken the path of deception and the condition could have escalated or gotten worse until damage was irreversible and either surgery or shutting him down for the season was the only solution. In this case, honesty might have been the perfect course of action, and saved more than just his pitching career.
Some could say the play during the game where he had to come over and cover First Base on a bunt single by the A's Coco Crisp could have been the precursor to this aliment coming to the surface. A blunt motion or force upon his right arm could have jarred the symptoms, or possibly brought to light a potential hazard in waiting. But that is just conjecture until the final medical reports ate filed.
Sure we might not know the extent or cause of Cobb's arm numbness or sensations yet, but if the Rays learned anything from the Rocco Baldelli situation, it is to take nothing for granted. Sometimes a simple diagnosis would be the perfect solution, but the problem could still be there hiding, waiting for another chance to spring up and cause more havoc for Cobb in the future. By being concise and precise, the Rays could eliminate mirror image symptoms that occur within our own bodies.
But this story has a double dose of goodness to it too. Cobb by revealing the "numbness" in his arm to the Rays Head Trainer Ron Porterfield and Maddon, it put into motion an immediate plan to try and decipher the symptoms and get conclusive answers towards solving Cobb's discomfort. Cobb trusted the Rays medical machine to help eliminate this tingling sensation and not put off either time or progression to solving the body mystery.
Because it is Cobb's pitching hand, the Rays took swift and detailed actions to protect one of their budding pitching gems. Cobb never looked like he could establish a consistent rhythm on the mound on Saturday night, and possibly the "needles and pins" sensation might have shown up early in the night. Not going to blame the numbness, but unless Cobb was tipping off his fastball, the Oakland A's just seemed to fest on it Saturday night.
Still, it was great to see Cobb say something before the matter could have escalated towards a potentially long term injury. Huge praise seriously has to go towards the Rays Medical staff for their due diligence and process of eliminating and evaluating towards finding a cause or effect of the problem.
Pitchers have a limited shelf life normally in baseball. Good news came swiftly after Porterfield sent Cobb to a local hospital for some more detailed blood tests. Soon afterwards it was learned that Cobb did not have a possible blood clot in his arm, which could have been a immediate cause of the numbness. There might be a battery of medical tests in Cobb's future, but possibly this honest gesture might just be life saving.
Even thought the Rays have put Cobb on the DL, this move could prolong and help discover a possible aliment that is beginning to develop within Cobb. The result could be many more wins, and a long career. It is still amazing to be the torque and pounds per square inch a pitcher puts on his joints and muscles nightly throwing in Major League Baseball.
Injuries happen in a sport where a pitcher throws so much torque and pressure on their pitching arms nightly. By Cobb being upfront and telling the Rays about his discomfort, it might have been a precursor to more Rays wins, and a longer career. Sometime each of us hide small aliments or nicks and pain from our employers, hoping they will just simply go away.
Cobb was in tune with his body' enough to know something did not add up, and asked for help before it could of escalated or become a more complex problem. It is a great example of a player trusting his gut, and a team listening and help solve a potential setback. Kudos again to Cobb and the Rays staff for both doing the right thing. Hopefully this is just something minor, but if it is not, then it could save more than just Cobb's career…it could save his life.

Thirteen mostly conservative California counties would break away to create a 51st state known as South California under a proposal by an elected official that would have to clear major hurdles to succeed.
Republican Jeff Stone has asked fellow members of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors to support a motion to bring together officials from the 13 counties to discuss the idea.
A vote on the proposed meeting is scheduled for Tuesday.
Stone said California is too big to govern, a situation that has led the state to raid local government coffers because of runaway spending. He knows it will be a challenge to create another state but doesn't believe it's an impossible task.
"We are sending a message," Stone told the Los Angeles Times.
The effort marks the latest in scores of secession movements in California dating back to the 1850s that aimed to cleave the state and split counties and cities.
Even if leaders from the 13 counties got serious about secession, the U.S. Constitution says no new state can be formed without the consent of Congress and the state Legislature.
An e-mail message left by The Associated Press for Stone's chief of staff, Verne Lauritzen, was not immediately returned.
Gil Duran, a spokesman for California Gov. Jerry Brown, said Stone's proposal is "a supremely ridiculous waste of everybody's time."
"If you want to live in a Republican state with very conservative right-wing laws, then there's a place called Arizona," Duran told the newspaper.
Stone's version of South California would not include Los Angeles County. Instead, it would encompass coastal Orange and San Diego counties, and more sparsely populated, inland areas such as Fresno, Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Mono, Riverside, San Bernardino and Tulare counties.
Combined, those counties have about 13 million people.
Stone also proposed that South California would have a part-time Legislature with no term limits as well as a newly built capitol building.

Why Do Cyclists Break Traffic Laws?
I'm paying close attention to my behavior and the behavior of other cyclists on the road. I made a decision to ride my bike consistently with the rules of the road, but other cyclists may not share that sentiment. The problem lies not in the cyclists themselves, but in the way that cyclists are treated as road users.
There is one particular crosswalk on my commute that represents the issue. It is a pedestrian activated traffic light that allows people to cross Iliff Ave (a fairly busy road) and connects two sections of bike path with homes and a school. It's a major crosswalk that is ignored by essentially every pedestrian that uses it. The problem is that it is a 3 minute wait for the signal to change (that doesn't sound like much, but the average traffic light changes every 30-60 seconds). During that 3 minutes there are frequent breaks in traffic, and there is a large median in the center of the road, so most pedestrians just cross when they can rather than wait. The question I ask is, "is there a timing for this signal that people would be willing to wait for to cross safely?" I think the answer is yes.
Apart from being a long wait, this traffic signal sends a clear message: "Pedestrians are not important!" It effectively treats anyone who uses the crosswalk as a second-class citizen. As a result, people act like second-class citizens and ignore the laws that are meant to protect them. This is the same behavior I see from cyclists. When infrastructure is provided that creates a positive environment for cyclists, generally there are fewer infractions. When cyclists are marginalized, however, the reaction is to act outside the law.
Of course there will always be cyclists that ignore the law, just as there are motorists that do the same. But some cyclists' perception that they can ignore stop signs and traffic signals is just as prevalent as motorists' perception that bikes don't belong on the road in the first place. If the infrastructure and attitude changes to give bicycles equal share of the road (and really we're only asking for 3 feet), then I believe we will see more cyclists acting responsibly. The result will be safer roads for everyone.

INFORMATION, The Research Department in the Executive Office is a storehouse of Think of "research" and you get the impression of people experimenting with new and far-out concepts, people sitting in ivory towers, spinning the web of accounting ten years hence. Haskins & Sells has a good share of pure research that has given birth to new techniques like Auditape and our statistical sampling methods. "But in our Executive Office Research Department," says Hal Robinson, who is partner in charge of it, "the plain fact is that our number one function is to respond to requests for assistance from the practice offices. We had over 500 requests in 1966—and there was no relation to the ivory tower in any of them. These requests demand consideration right now, because our findings will be used immediately to answer questions posed by clients." As a practical matter, a time limit of one week has been set for answering all but the most exhaustive requests so as to assure orderly handling and still allow priority handling for particularly urgent queries. What the offices ask the Research Department for is background information that they don't have the time or facilities to gather themselves. Most of this information directly concerns accounting matters. But often enough the relationship is startlingly oblique, with questions like "What was the quoted market for Company A's stock on December 31, 1899?" or "Can you find us a retail price level index for the southwest Texas area for the years 1959 to 1965?" or "Please send examples of 'phantom stock plans.'" Sometimes this primary function of the Research Department is called "answering practice office questions." But calling it that can be misleading if it makes you think the offices ask the point-blank question "How should we account for the following transaction?" In most cases the offices will answer that question themselves— after they've been supplied the background information. Of course, a good number of accounting and auditing questions do get answered in consultation with people in the Executive Office. These are questions where the business transactions involved present quite new twists, and thus the answers need exploration or development of Firm policy. They will usually be directed to Emmett Harrington, who has primary responsibility for technical aspects of our practice, or to Oscar Gellein for accounting questions, to Ken Stringer for auditing, or to Cy Youngdahl if an SEC filing is involved. In many cases these questions come back to the Research Department for background information. "Then," says John Tillotson, principal who's been fielding these requests for seven years, "what do you do? Do you go in—to Oscar Gellein, for example—and say, 'Here's all the information we've gathered for you, but, of course, we haven't tried to draw any conclusions from it'? No we don't. I don't think anyone could search out all the pertinent facts without also asking himself what the answer is." Of course, whoever referred the question recognizes this, so that he spends a good deal of time with John or others in the Research Department probing and discussing the question. Almost any time you walk down the corridor that stretches down the long back wing on the 23rd floor of Two Broadway, you will see the occupants of several of the offices hanging on to their telephones, talking to someone in Boston, San Juan, Seattle, Honolulu, or some place in between. "We prefer written communiques in the first instance," says Hal Robinson. "For one thing, it makes for efficiency in getting the question to the right party in the E.O. For another, it forces the person making the request to think through just what he wants to know, and not infrequently it turns out to be different from what he first thought it was. When that doesn't happen till after the question gets to us, time is wasted." Nevertheless, most matters do get discussed on the telephone at one time or another. Next to sitting down 10

Palm Beach County's Consumer Affairs Division today released its guidelines of holiday shopping tips to make sure you save money and avoid a holiday debt hangover come January.
Here they are:
• Stick to a budget: Create a gift-giving budget based on what you can afford. Make a list of all those who will be receiving gifts, and put a dollar limit for each person.
• Evaluate online deals: The Internet brings a whole new dimension to holiday shopping. Here are some favorite websites that bring the deals to you from thousands of retailers:
— consumerworld.org
— coupons.com
— couponwinner.com
— fatwallet.com
— gottadeal.com
— overstock.com
— dealnews.com
• If you shop online: Only deal with reputable online companies. Make sure the company provides its physical address and a local phone number. Read and understand the privacy, shipping and return policies. Don't use debit cards for online purchases — only use a credit card and print a confirmation receipt of your purchase.
• Quick saving tips: Some strategies to use when making purchases:
— Sales adjustment: Ask the retailer if the sticker price is the best they can do. Even big-box stores often give authority to sales clerks to lower prices on bigger ticket items. Continue reading "PBC Consumer Affairs releases holiday shopping tips"

X360: Destiny is possibly the most ambitious game currently in development. We caught up with Bungie's Joseph Staten to talk scope, multiplayer, next-gen and the importance of the player.
It all sounds really impressive, I just wish they could show more than 2 seconds of gameplay!
Being a big fan of MAG I'm getting interested in this game.... I did enjoy playing the first Halo on a LAN line while I was stationed in Kuwait, but it wasnt enough to keep me from going back to Socom2 online once i got back to the states....
Sounds incredible to be honest. I really hope they bring Destiny to PC. If not I will probably get the PS4 version.

How much longer is The Sun going to provide a weekly platform to the self-defined chairman of the Maryland Romney for President campaign?Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. lists this in his bona fides at the bottom of his column, which should preclude him from space in a newspaper. You are giving the Mitt Romney campaign prime space weekly to expound and expand on their message.
When you chose to give Mr. Ehrlich space that was once the home of Ron Smith, a dedicated conservative but not a party hack, we had hopes Mr. Ehrlich would continue in his predecessor's tradition. He has turned his space into a weekly bash Barack Obama and his administration platform and nothing more. Ron Smith would not be too proud of that. He was a true America-first person, even if you did not always agree with him. Mr. Ehrlich is a party hack in the Newt Gingrich tradition and does not deserve a weekly platform to spew half-truths and campaign rhetoric.
Since Mr. Ehrlich's column will not be removed, I suggest you give the same amount of space on a weekly basis to the chair of the Obama for President campaign. Why should Mr. Romney to able to use your newspaper and not the incumbent?
Jonathan E. Kollin, Baltimore

- Incorporate the latest improvements in siRNA design, off-target effect prediction algorithms, and chemistry
- Provide unrivalled silencing consistency, potency, and specificity
- Result in fewer failed experiments due to poor silencing
- Yield cleaner, more consistent phenotypic data
Why are Silencer Select siRNAs the Best siRNAs?
- Cleaner, more consistent data
- Design algorithm improves effective siRNA prediction accuracy >25%
- Up to 100 fold more potent than first & second generation siRNA designs
- More consistently yield silenced phenotypes
- Improved specificity of Silencer Select siRNAs
- Chemical modifications enhance guide strand bias
- Reduced off-target effects by up to 90%
100% Guarantee – The BEST in the Industry
At Thermo Fisher Scientific, we guarantee that when you purchase two Invitrogen Silencer Select Pre-designed siRNA to the same target, then those two siRNAs will silence the target mRNA by 70% or more. To qualify for the guarantee, siRNA's must have been transfected at ≥5 nM and mRNA levels detected 48h post transfection. Real-Time RT-PCR is recommended but not required for this application. Customers must also show > 80% knockdown with a positive control siRNA to demonstrate transfection efficiency. If the guaranteed level of knockdown is not observed and an appropriate positive control is successful, a onetime replacement of up to two new Silencer Select siRNA designs will be provided free of charge. This guarantee does not extend to any replacement product.
Reducing false positives and false negatives in siRNA experiments
(Open access to Ambion siRNA sequences and associated data)
In recent years, siRNA screens have highlighted issues with the technology stemming from off target effects, variable level of knockdown efficacy, and low-level confidence in hits from screening campaigns.
A recent genome-wide screen published in Nature by researchers at the National Institutes of Health highlights an effective approach to circumvent the challenges currently being faced by the screening community. New bioinformatics techniques to decipher real positives from false positives that arise from the seed region have been highlighted in this publication. Seed sequence driven off target effects have been extensively observed in siRNAs screens as these stem from the miRNA driven seed sequence. This seminal work highlights usage of high potency Silencer Select siRNA at lower siRNA concentration as arrayed singles allowing identification of off targets (false positive or false negative) stemming from the seed sequence. Such deconvolution is not possible for a pooled approach where unique biology can be observed owing to two or more siRNAs working in a concerted manner.
National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and Thermo Fisher Scientific are also providing all researchers access to siRNA sequences and associated data on PubChem from Silencer Select siRNA library, which includes 65,000 siRNA sequences targeting more than 20,000 human genes.
Get the siRNA sequences here
PRODUCT REPLACEMENT AS SET FORTH ABOVE IS THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC'S SOLE OBLIGATION AND CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THE GUARANTEE GIVEN ABOVE. To arrange a replacement, contact Technical Services. Please be ready to supply data indicating transfection efficiency and measurement of mRNA knockdown. Contact Technical Support if you require such a replacement.

Total Playing Time 59:29
Giuliano Carmignola is rightly regarded in the classical music world as "the prince of Baroque violinists" . . . [a] delightful and original CD . . . His fine sense of phrasing and lively bravado is evident, particularly in the last movement of the G major Concerto.
His dexterity is at its most sensational in the double-stopped allegro moderato of the First Concerto and the cadenza of the Fourth, while his ability to generate intense emotions by the sparest means leads to unforgettable things in the First's adagio. The Orchestre des Champs-Elysées under its leader Alessandro Moccia are classy: their acerbic sound keeps the drama uppermost and prevents everything from becoming cloying.
. . . this disc stands on its own merits, which are considerable: Carmignola plays as if this music had been composed specifically for him, with all the tonal richness and agility required of him and with a pinpoint accuracy of intonation . . . his Parisian accompanists match all their frontman's vivacity and charisma . . . performed as scintillating as this, they're worth an hour of anyone's time.
Es ist leichtfüßige, zum Teil auch virtuose Musik, von gefälligen Melodien getragen . . . [Giuliano Carmignola] spürt mit warmem und fiebrig hellhörigem Ton den Spielwitz auf, der in ihnen liegt.
Haydns vier Violinkonzerte . . . sind beim großen italienischen Geiger Giuliano Carmignola in den besten Händen . . . Carmignola ist nicht nur ein äußerst temperamentvoller, hochvirtuoser Musiker, der kaum technische Probleme zu kennen scheint, er kann auch langsame Sätze. Mit bestechender Eindringlichkeit, Mut zu einem beeindruckenden Piano und einer großen Klangfarbenpalette geht er auch beim Adagio zu Werke -- und das immer in intensivem Kontakt zu den Musikern des Orchestre des Champs Élysées. Fast zeitlos die Ruhe, erhaben das Gefühl und vor allem: kein kitschiges Übermaß an Vibrato. Carmignola ist ein Virtuose mit manchmal eigenwilligen Einfällen, immer gut für Überraschungen und unerwartete Wendungen. Sein fingerfertiges Spiel lebt von äußerst facettenreicher Phrasierung und überlegter Artikulation. Seine ebenso effektvollen wie präzisen Gestaltungsideen fallen beim Orchester auf fruchtbaren Boden und werden bereitwillig gekontert.
. . . [das Orchestre des Champs-Elysées ist] ein erfahrenes Ensemble . . . [Carmignola spielt] bravourös . . .
. . . [Carmignola umschmeichelt] das Ohr, begeistert es für die Finessen und die Vitalität, hinter der Haydns typische intellektuelle Verspieltheit und sein Sinn für subtil eingewobene Stimmungsänderungen zu erleben sind. Giuliano Carmignola zeigt: Man kann bei Haydn seinen Spaß haben . . .
. . . ein Hörvergnügen, wenn der Interpret Giuliano Carmignola heißt. Mit straffem Elan und taffem Drive dreht der italienische Originalklang-Geiger weder Rokokolocken noch Manieristenkringel, sondern streicht in viriler Geradlinigkeit das Feuer aus Kapriolen und Kantilenen. Da fetzen die Sechzehntelläufe, da "singen" die langsamen Sätze in schnörkellos nobler Empfindung ohne verzärtelnde Tändelei. Dass Carmignola die durchaus heiklen technischen Ansprüche in souveräner Präzision meistert, versteht sich fast von selbst, ebenso dass er Charakteristisches -- etwa die Moll-Schattierungen im quirligen G-Dur-Finale -- bestens realisiert. Und wie der Solist, so das Tutti: Energisch, akzentuiert und agil gibt das Orchestre des Champs-Elysées seinen Streicher-mit-Cembalo-Part.
. . . [es gibt] nicht viele historisierende Darstellungen, die man mit dieser Interpretation von Carmignola und dem französischen Barockorchester vergleichen könnte. Hier werden neue Maßstäbe gesetzt. Virtuosität, Musikalität und Klangschönheit finden in einer wunderbaren Synthese zusammen. Carmignola beherrscht sein Instrument souverän und mit leichter Hand, sein Ton hat Substanz und Wärme in allen Lagen . . . Die langsamen Sätze fließen dahin, ganz schlicht und hell, mit Noblesse. Die Ecksätze federn und schwingen bei zügigen, aber nie überdrehten Tempi. Natürlichkeit der Rhetorik, Harmonie und Transparenz sind die Säulen, auf denen dieser Haydn sicher steht.
. . . dans l'ensemble, ce Haydn festif, ancré dans le baroque . . . s'impose par son ardeur . . . Le Stradivarius "Baillot" de Carmignola est autrement sensuel et lumineux que celui de ses rivaux . . . Tutti nerveux, accents généreux, l'Orchestre des Champs-Elysées . . . donne une superbe réplique . . .
About the Album
The "Exemplary Giuliano Carmignola" (The Times) Plays Haydn's Violin Concertos
Following his critically acclaimed recording of all the Mozart concertos, Giuliano Carmignola fulfills his long-held wish to record the unjustly neglected, wonderful Violin Concertos of Joseph Haydn
These concertos showcase Haydn's originality, wit, spirit, and melodic inventiveness
Giuliano Carmignola's technical precision, disciplined musicality, and gorgeous tone bring every one of the composer's intentions to vivid life
The remarkable Orchestre des Champs-Élysées − known for performing repertoire from Haydn to Mahler on period instruments − makes an ideal partner
Carmignola will tour the Haydn repertoire in Germany, Italy, Turkey, and France in 2012
Joseph Haydn's concertos for solo instrument and orchestra may seem to be marginal to his vast symphonic output. Or at least the figures may suggest that this is the case, for his 106 symphonies inevitably overshadow a mere twenty-four concertos for strings, winds and keyboard instruments, not all of which have survived. Most of them date from Haydn's early period as a composer, and only three – for keyboard, cello and trumpet – were written after 1770. If Haydn demonstrably took less interest in the medium of the concerto than he did in that of the symphony, then this was no doubt the result of his ambitions as a composer – in the years around 1760 and 1770 the symphony was regarded as the most prestigious of orchestral genres, whereas the concerto occupied a lesser rank in the eyes of composers and theorists. Writing in his Allgemeine Theorie der schönen Künste (General Theory of the Fine Arts), Johann Georg Sulzer, for example, claimed that the concerto was basically "no more than an exercise for composers and performers and a very ill-defined amusement for the ear that aimed at nothing more than that."
Haydn became vice-Kapellmeister to the Esterházy princes on 1 May 1761, the date on which he signed a treaty that represented only one of the measures undertaken by Prince Paul Anton in the spring and summer of 1761 with the aim of reorganizing his court orchestra. Bound up with Haydn's appointment was the organizational division of the court's musical life into two distinct ensembles. Church music was placed in the hands of the elderly senior Kapellmeister Gregor Joseph Werner, while the "Hoff- und Camer Musique" that was responsible for every kind of instrumental music and for secular vocal music fell under the immediate jurisdiction of the young Haydn. Paul Anton had a particular weakness for modern Italian instrumental music, and so he also engaged a number of outstanding musicians for the "Camer Musique". When Werner died in 1766, Haydn assumed additional responsibility for church music at Eszterháza.
During the 1760s Haydn wrote a number of symphonies with demanding solo parts designed to showcase the talents of the virtuosos in his orchestra. Among these works are the three symphonies Hob. I:6–8 known as "Le Matin", "Le Midi" and "Le Soir". But he also composed several solo concertos at this time, all of them intended for the musicians in his orchestra and including – it is thought – his concertos for violin and orchestra. He is known to have written four such concertos, although only three have survived: Hob. VIIa:1, 3 and 4. The existence of the Violin Concerto in D major Hob. VIIa:2 is known only from an entry in the work-list ("Entwurf-Katalog") that Haydn kept from around 1765, but otherwise there is no trace of this work.
Only in the case of the Violin Concerto in C major Hob. VIIa:1 do we know for whom it was written, for the composer's work-list contains an entry "fatto per il luigi" (made for Luigi), Luigi being the Pesaro-born violinist Luigi Tomasini, who was only sixteen when he entered the Esterházys' service in 1757. By 1790 or thereabouts he was being described in orchestral lists as its leader, or concertmaster. Conversely, we do not know for whom Haydn wrote the other two violin concertos. They may have been intended for Tomasini or for some other violinist in the court orchestra or perhaps even for the composer himself, for Haydn was an experienced violinist, a fact that we tend to forget today. Not only was he the leader of his orchestra but there is evidence that he also appeared as a soloist.
None of these three concertos can be dated with any great accuracy, although the C major Concerto that was written for Tomasini was almost certainly completed before 1765, making it the oldest of the three. The other two were probably written soon afterwards – the G major Concerto was advertised in a music publisher's catalogue in 1769. It is clear from the small number of surviving sources that none of them was widely disseminated in Haydn's day. They were not published until the 20th century.
The melodic style of all three concertos reflects their date of composition. Formally speaking, too, Haydn had recourse to late-Baroque Italian models. The opening movements of all three concertos are structured along similar lines inasmuch as all are cast in traditional ritornello form in which several orchestral and solo episodes alternate relatively loosely. There are no appreciable signs of modern sonata form with its consistent and cohesive thematic and motivic writing. On the other hand, the fact that the solo episodes invariably begin with the main theme from the orchestral ritornello already reveals a progressive tendency in the direction of thematic unity, as does the fact that the soloist is always accorded a second theme in the dominant. There are also points in common between the middle movements of all three concertos and between their final movements. In the Adagios the soloist's expressive cantabile line takes precedence over the simple orchestral accompaniment, while the final movements are all examples of a carefree envoi and, like the opening movements, are cast in ritornello form. The solo writing is particularly demanding with its frequent scalar passages, double stopping and wide-ranging intervals – a further indication of the fact that all three works were written for genuine virtuosos. The orchestral writing is limited to strings, once again recalling the Baroque concertos of the earlier period – the wind parts that have survived in a handful of sources cannot be authentic.

RHEL4 and Windows integration using Samba-3
Follow Ken Milberg as he sets up Samba-3 on RHEL4 server, so that clients can access file and print services like Wintel servers.
|Ken Milberg, Site expert
If you need to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4) along with a Windows client in an IT environment, then check out Samba. That's what I do in this tip, so follow me as I set up Samba-3 on a RHEL4 Server, acting as a file server, so that Windows-on-Intel clients can access file and print services in much same way that they would use Wintel servers.
Samba integrates Linux with Windows clients using the SMB Protocol. Samba can give you the ability to run NetBIOS over TCP/IP, WINS client/servers support, user authentication and file and print sharing. Samba can do so many things, and also runs on Unix, IBM System 390, OpenVMS and many other operating systems. Basically, Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is on the host machine.
First make sure you have the following Samba package installed:
[root@redken ~]# rpm -q samba
[root@redken ~]#
I would also make sure that all the following packages are installed:
- the Samba SMB server
- Samba (SMB) client programs samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E.2.i386.rpm
- files used by both Samba servers and clients samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.2.i386.rpm
- and the Samba SMB server configuration program
From a Linux shell, type this command in to call up the GUI:
After putting in your directory and share name, you will be prompted with a question asking whether or not you want all users or just selected user to access this share. I would pick only selected users, as that will give you more security.
Make sure Samba is running.
If you don't wish to start Samba services from the GUI, you can always do this from the command line:
service samba start
Type this command to make sure the service is started by default:
chkconfig smb --level 345 on
You must also create a Samba user and configure the user password using this command:
smbpasswd -a username
You can also create a Samba user and configure the user password with the GUI.
If you don't want to be prompted by a network password from your Windows PC, you will then have to make sure you put the following line in your smb.conf file (Global section), as Windows will send over the encrypted password:
- workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = workgroup
encrypt passwords = yes
- server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Samba Server
Here is a snapshot of the smb.conf file that relates to the shares that we have created.
- [root]
path = /root
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
- [app]
comment = samba
path = /app
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
In our case, we have made these directories writeable; but you have the option to enable read-only access, which is usually safer.
The configuration that we are using here is based on a network that is using a workgroup. Make sure that the workgroup that you define on your Linux server is the same one that you have defined on your PC. Workgroups are really not the best way to set-up your network, as there are security issues, but it's fine for this purpose.
Make sure that you have TCP/IP running on your Windows client, or else it won't work. You will also have had to define a user on your Windows client, else you won't be able to log-in to the Linux server.
A nice command to use is smbstatus, that will give you a good idea of who is logged on to the system, their hostname and login time information.
Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E

|Tue Dec 6 13:35:14 2005

Here is the command to gives you what version of Samba you are using:
root@redken ~]# smbd -V
Version 3.0.10-1.4E
I have to say that Samba-3 works beautifully on RHEL4, and I had no problems configuring it and opening up my files on the Windows client.

they're committing another lineup travesty by sending Pierzynski out there with such regularity. Not only has the once-beloved catcher played quite poorly this season, but his back-up, Ramon Castro, has been absolutely killing the ball when he's gotten a chance to play. In 95 PA, Castro has been worth slightly more than 7 runs above average. Pierzynski, on the other hand, has easily offset Castro's positive contributions, as he's been 13 runs below average offensively in 400 PA on the year.
Stats: A.J. Pierzynski, Ramon Castro.

February 14th already...how can that be? It seems like the days and weeks just pass by in the blink of an eye! I should note that I'm not a big fan of Valentines day, in the traditional sense. I fully admit it's a holiday made up by women for women. However it does serve as a reminder for those in love and a painful reminder for those without. I personally would rather recieve roses on a random day in the year to say "I love you" then a dozen on Valentines day when it's the thing to do. But my sweet hubby is a romantic all the time...so maybe that taints my view :)
Maybe it's growing on me though... I can't ever resist the urge to do holiday treats and especially in girly colors! We decided to celebrate as a family this year no date night!...we did dinner at home and I made cookies and a little cake. Each of the girls got a couple little treats. Cadence was excited but was determined I was wrong that it was indeed Halloween...?
I made some sugar cookies and shipped a box off to Indiana at the request of my niece...not my best work on decorating..but Ben said they were the best sugar cookies he had ever had! I was very pleased to hear that because he's my WORST critic...he picks apart everything I make!
Still won't admit it's not Halloween but she's sure enjoying the loot!Of course Grandma Miller and Aunt Amber had to send them Valentines! This picture does no justice..their boxes are always filled with adorable things. This one included Handmade cards, shirts...and cute red and white candies and tiny animal crackers....so cute! The kids were thrilled.
I had an adorable little cake plan..but with two teething babies it went right out the window!! Instead I settled for a layer of chocolate frosting and some xo sprinkles..maybe next year! I had orginally planned on giving the cookies I made to Cadence's ballet class....2 hours before class walking through the store I realize I totally forgot about them and they were still frozen at home! I ended up picking up some lip/heart cookies and girly little tins with candy in them for all the littler ballerinas. Being the crazy that I am I couldn't just take something super simple like heart fruit snacks! (thumps head on wall) so here I am driving down the road stuffing treats into bags. Hint's the carseat photo..had to share though...it was a super mom moment for sure!
So not my best attemps but I participated none the less! haha. Next up Easter!!!!! I LOVE Easter!!!

Former Representative Chris Collins was sentenced to two years and two months in prison for charges related to insider trading and lying to cover it up.
Comment →
The judge seemed troubled by the Collins legal team's argument that the crime was an isolated act – just a stupid, panicked phone call made by an emotionally distraught father.
To the contrary, Broderick noted that after that phone call from the White House lawn, Collins spoke with his son several times over the next few days as Cameron Collins dumped his Innate shares.
Collins and his son could have stopped the illegal scheme at any time, the judge noted.
"There was time for folks to think about this and say: 'What are we doing?' " he said.
The inside stock tip that prompted those illegal trades resulted in one of the two charges to which Collins pleaded guilty: conspiracy to commit securities fraud. But then Collins committed another crime: lying to the FBI about Cameron's stock sales.
What's more, Broderick indicated that he agreed with prosecutors that Collins, his son and Lauren Zarsky together concocted a cover story that all three shared with the FBI.
Adding it all up, the judge said: "I don't view this as just a spur-of-the-moment loss of judgment."
Instead, Broderick characterized the illegal stock trades and the effort to cover them up as an inexplicable attempt to save money by a wealthy businessman-turned-politician who had no reason to break the law.
"Some might say it was a venal choice," the judge said.
And it was a choice with consequences far beyond Collins and his family. Collins' resignation left New York's 27th Congressional District without representation for months, the judge noted.
That seemed to be the only political observation the judge was willing to make. He said he read the dozens of letters he got from Collins' supporters and critics – but stripped out the emotions and politics, instead relying only on the facts as he crafted Collins' sentence.
And when one of Collins' lawyers spoke of living in partisan times, the judge said: "Not here."
After Broderick issued his sentence, Collins' lawyers said he would like to serve it at the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Fla., which is the nearest such facility to Collins' home in Marco Island, Fla. Broderick said he would recommend that Collins be sent to Pensacola, but the final decision will be up to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
Despite his tears moments earlier, Collins appeared expressionless upon hearing the sentence, which drew raves from the prosecutors.
"Lawmakers bear the profound privilege and responsibility of writing and passing laws, but equally as important, the absolute obligation of following them," said Geoffrey S. Berman, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York – and a Donald Trump appointee. "Collins' hubris is a stark reminder that the people of New York can and should demand more from their elected officials, and that no matter how powerful, no lawmaker is above the law."
President Trump's legal team for the impeachment trial has some very familiar names on it, including one of the biggest from the last time we as a country did this.

The Accounting Historians Journal
Vol. 15, No. 1
Spring 1988
BARBARA D. MERINO, EDITOR University of North Texas
Sokolow, Jaroslaw W., The History of Accounting Thought [Istocia razwitija buchgaltierskowo uczieta] (Moscow: Finansy i Statistik, 1985), 367 pp.
Reviewed by Alicia Jaruga University of Lodz (Poland)
Many books and papers have been devoted to the history of accounting, but only a few of them have been concerned with the development of accounting thought. This book successfully provides an integrated history of accounting thought around the world, emphasizing the less well-known contributions made in Russia and the Soviet Union.
Professor Sokolow's primary question is: what does the history of accounting thought teach us? In offering answers, he reveals a profound and wide-ranging knowledge of the subject-matter. In the light of the history of accounting re-search, he distinguishes the following approaches:
1. Philosophical — the approach adopted particularly in the works of F.W. Jezierski and J.M. Galperun, in the East, and of A. Haara. in the West.
2. Documentary — used by O.O. Bayer, H.F. Szirokow and B. Penndorf.
3. Synthetic — used by N.S. Pomazkow and A.I. Lozinski.
4. Analytic — used by A.K. Littleton and B.S. Yamey.
It must be said, however, that Sokolow does not take into account modern developments in accounting theory in the West, such as the work of R. Mattessich and Y. Ijiri.
A lot of attention is paid to economic records in antiquity and the Middle Ages. Further, the author analyzes the condi-tions in which the dualism of accounting arose. Next, he characterizes the development and expansion of double-entry

An unexpected turn of events on MBC's Wednesday-Thursday series Missing You is drawing a lot of attention. The real murderer was a cleaning woman and a mysterious cane appeared on the last episode made the audience curious.
On the tenth episode of the series, which aired on December 6, Jung Woo (played by Park Yoo Chun) realized that the murderer, who used his computer at the police station, is an insider.
He started investigating the insiders but a cleaning woman said that she has to go home to cook dinner for her daughter. It gave him doubts about her so he followed her to her house.
At her house, he found duck tape and a rope that she used to kill the victim. Jung Woo was about to catch the cleaning woman but she attacked him from behind with a stun gun. As a result, the audience is wondering why she killed the victim and who has the mysterious cane.
People responded: "Yoo Seung Ho, who uses a cane, is behind the case?" "I wonder what kind of twist will be on the series." "I think the cleaning woman has a sad story." "The cane is foreshadowing."
The eleventh episode of the series will air on December 12 at 9:55 p.m.
