Lady Gaga, "Artpop," Streamline/Interscope, ** 1/2
"Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura?" Lady Gaga asks us at the beginning of her third studio album, amid cutting Eastern rhythms and swirling synthesizers from co-producers Zedd and Infectious Mushroom. The look throughout "Artpop" is not particularly revealing, however. The same Gaga we know (and many love) from "The Fame" and "Born This Way" is still in control here, celebrating empowerment, seeking sexual salvation, winking with occasional self-deprecation, parodying pop culture iconography (including fashion maven "Donatella" Versace) and always playing for the "Applause" of the 15th and final song of this hour-long romp. The familiarity breeds more comfort than contempt, though. Gaga, working primarily with DJ White Shadow, pushes herself into subtly edgier EDM directions on "Aura," "G.U.Y." and "Swine." On "Jewels n' Thugs" she lays calming melodic vocal hooks amidst the verbal spitfire of T.I., Too $hort and Twista, while "Sexxx Dreams" builds into chill ambiance and "Fashion!" leans toward '80s dance-pop a la Madonna's "Holiday." "Manicure" fuses glam rock flavors with club beats, the lifestyle anthem "Gypsy" boasts the bombastic drama of a Meat Loaf/Jim Steinway song and "Dope," the set's lone ballad, has the boozy wobble of a Brecht/Weill composition. Gaga tells us that "my Artpop could mean anything," and she certainly applies it in many different directions here — though not with the same provocative results as its predecessors.
Various Artists, "Inside Llewelyn Davis: Original Soundtrack Recording" (Nonesuch): ***
T Bone Burnett is something of a trademark of quality — especially when he's working on rootsy soundtracks for filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen. This is no exception, creating a repertoire for the fictitious folk singer of the title with rich performances mostly by star Oscar Isaac, though co-stars Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan turn in a moving rendition of "Five Hundred Miles" — with Mulligan's husband, Marcus Mumford, on guitar. Other top-shelf musicians turn out to help, including Dave Van Ronk, Buddy Miller, David Mansfield, Norman and Nancy Blake and Gillian Welch, while the set also includes Bob Dylan's previously unreleased "Farewell." This Davis kid's got some potential.

Anthony Green, "Young Legs" (Moshtradamus): The Circa Survive frontman hit a formal studio rather than his home facility to record his third solo album.
Tim Janis, "Perfect Serenity" (self-released): Another set of what can only be defined as serene music from the veteran American music maker.
Lady Antebellum, "Golden: The Deluxe Edition" (Capitol): The country trio adds six bonus songs to its latest chart-topper, including three live tracks.
Less Than Jake, "See the Light" (Fat Wreck Chords): The ska-punk group recorded its ninth album at home in Gainesville, Fla.

In 2008, UW Bothell completed a year-long planning process involving faculty, staff, advisory board members, alumni, students and external partners, resulting in the 21st Century Campus Initiative strategic plan. The plan set an enrollment target of 5,000 by 2020 and outlined seven priorities to guide campus growth in size and excellence: growth, resourcefulness, diversity, student-centered, community, innovation, and sustainability.
Since that time, the plan has guided all institutional planning through a period of extraordinary growth, during which enrollment and the number of degrees offered tripled, housing was established, student life and academic services expanded, industry and community collaboration deepened, and campus facilities expanded.
By Spring of 2014, the campus had surpassed its enrollment goal and had achieved significant progress in each of its seven priorities, thus completing Phase 1 of the plan six years ahead of the target. This tremendous feat was accomplished with few resources, but great ingenuity and innovation on the part of the entire UW Bothell community.
While the first phase of the 21st Century Campus Initiative has been completed, the values and priorities that characterized the plan will continue to sustain and inform UW Bothell's ongoing work. The campus came together in Fall of 2013 to reaffirm those values and to highlight priorities for moving forward as we prepare for the next phase of our 21st Century Campus Initiative - Growing to 7,500. In the upcoming year, the campus community, Advisory Board, and many supporters will embark on developing Phase 2 of the plan, working together to more fully define the vision for the future of UW Bothell.
To learn more about the original plan, the development process, and progress for each of the seven priorities, visit the 21st Century Campus Initiative Website.

Penne Vodka
I spent the weekend unpacking, organizing and settling back in at home after our Summer in San Diego. Normally, our Sunday night dinner tradition usually consists of picking up Italian or Chinese takeout. But for our first Sunday back, I wanted to make a home cooked, Italian dish – Penne Vodka. The epitome of comfort food and the ideal warm and hearty "welcome back" meal.
*Serves 4-6 (we'll be re-heating this throughout the week since we have a bunch left over)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
A pinch of hot pepper flakes
1 tsp dried oregano
½ cup of plain vodka
1 28 oz can of Italian crushed tomatoes
½ cup of heavy cream
Fresh basil
¼ cup fresh grated parmiggiano reggiano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound of uncooked Penne pasta
1. In a non stick pan over medium heat, sauté the onion in the olive oil for 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Then add hot pepper flakes, dried oregano and stir to combine. Add the vodka and cook for several minutes (until reduced by half)
2. Add the whole can of crushed tomatoes and reduce the heat to low. Add a lid (but don't cover all the way, leave a small space uncovered) for 45 minutes. Give a quick stir about every 10 or so minutes.
3. After the 45 minutes, season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste and add the heavy cream. Turn the heat up to medium and let it cook uncovered for 8 to 9 minutes.
4. Add in a few fresh basil leaves and grated parm cheese. Stir together. Turn heat off.
5. Cook your pasta in salted boiling water and drain. Add to sauce. Combine all together and serve!

Dustin Hoffman "Bets" On A New HBO Project (Because It's About Gambling!)
Dustin Hoffman's starring in the Deadwood guy's new series. The Dancing with the Stars cast is out. Everyone's partying at the Oscars. The UN pitches movies. Welcome to the roundup, care for a cookie? Too bad. We don't have any.
•David Milch produced the gloriously profane series Deadwood for HBO. Now Dustin Hoffman has been cast in his new series, Luck, about a supersmart ex-con with a horse track betting problem. John Ortiz is will play a horse trainer, and the series will be launching in January. [Variety]
•There are so many Oscar parties coming up! We want to go to them and get really drunk and awkwardly hit on Natalie Portman then drive up into the hills and have an adventure just like in a David Lynch movie! Acording to Variety, there are more than three dozen parties in the next week—an average of six a night. The big party: Saturday's Night Before Party at the BevHills Hotel. You are not invited. [Variety]
•Alec Baldwin will be starring in a Long Island production of Equus, the play famous for Harry Potter getting naked in it and doing it with a horse or something. Baldwin will play opposite Daniel Radcliff as the psychiatrist Martin Dysart who treats Radcliffe's character. [NYT]
•A lot of actors and actresses are in talks to join this Hugh Laurie/Leighton Meester comedy Oranges: Adam Brody, Catherine Keener, Alia Shawkat and Allison Janney are all in talks to join the film, which "centers on a man (Laurie) who has a romantic relationship with the daughter (Meester) of a family friend. That turns their lives, and the lives of their families, upside down." Hawt. [THR]
•The Dancing with the Stars cast list includes Buzz Aldrin! Also, people who, like, didn't go on the moon: Pamela Anderson, Erin Andrews, Shannen Doherty, Kate Gosselin, Evan Lysacek, Chad Ochocino and some other no-names. [TheWrap]
•This is funny: The U.N. is apparently pitching storylines to Hollywood now. Today at the Hammer Museum in Westood, CA, the U.N. held a forum for Hollywood types to convince them to use more U.N.-y stuff in their movies. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon spoke and said that U.N. missions were "'sometimes more dramatic than Hollywood movies,' and cited 'The Constant Gardener' as the type of movie that featured humanitarian work in its storyline." He then went on to detail an idea he had for a movie about an elderly Korean U.N. secretary-general who met a young pixie-ish grad student (Zooey Deschanel) and took a romantic day off to explore New York and learn about indie music with her. [Variety]
•Even though we hated it, Jerry Seinfeld's The Marriage Ref got killer ratings: It "averaged 14.6 million viewers and a 4.8 rating among adults ages 18 to 49," according to the LA Times. NBC just needs to stage an Olympics every Thursday as The Marriage Ref's lead-in and it will do awesome! [LAT]
•Whoops, the Miss America Pageant just got dropped by TLC. [TheWrap]

Ewing, Reed, Ford, Hall, Monroe, Others Recognized By College Hall Of FamePosted by Brian Goodman on November 19th, 2012
Brian Goodman is an editor and contributing writer to RTC.
The National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame enshrined its seventh class of inductees Sunday night in Kansas City, paying tribute to 10 players, coaches and contributors who helped shape the game we all love into what it is today. Georgetown legend Patrick Ewing led the star-studded group, which also included Kansas great Clyde Lovellette, North Carolina's Phil Ford, Kenny Sailors of Wyoming, Earl "The Pearl" Monroe of Winston-Salem State and another Knicks great, Willis Reed. In addition, former coaches Joe. B Hall of Kentucky and Dave Robbins of Virginia Union were honored as well as contributors Joe Dean and Jim Host.
Patrick Ewing
You Might Know Him As… A lockdown defender who brought Hoya Paranoia to Washington and one of the best centers the game has ever known. Despite not picking up a ball until he was 12 years old, Ewing flourished under John Thompson. To this day, Ewing remains the school's all-time leader in blocks, rebounds and games played. The dominant center was a mainstay of the Hoyas for four memorable seasons, including Georgetown's 1984 title run. He went on to win two gold medals for Team USA and was an 11-time all-star with the New York Knicks.
Quotable: "I chose Georgetown because of Coach Thompson. (He) was a great man and afforded me the opportunity to come in as a boy and leave as a man."
Phil Ford
You Might Know Him As… One of the most beloved players in North Carolina basketball history. Ford was the first freshman to start the first game of his career in Chapel Hill, and by the time his collegiate career ended, Ford would rack up three All-America selections and capture the 1977 Wooden Award along with consensus Player of the Year honors. Until he was overtaken by Tyler Hansbrough in 2009, Ford was UNC's all-time leading scorer and a master of Smith's "Four Corners" offense.

Fred Stolle of the World Resources Institute looks at the need for REDD to address forest governance issues as well as creating market incentives.
Policy-makers are recognizing the essential role that the world's remaining forests play in maintaining the global climate system. The political momentum generated by the Bali Action Plan under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will create a unique opportunity to put in place a framework of incentives that could curb deforestation, slow forest degradation, and improve the way forests are managed. To succeed, these incentives must strike at the main drivers of rampant deforestation and must also recognize the dependency of local communities on forest ecosystems for their livelihoods.
In the coming months, climate change negotiators have agreed to explore a mechanism for providing compensation for "Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries" (REDD). Under most REDD proposals, compensation would be financed by the sale of these emission reductions as 'carbon offsets' to be used by regulated countries or companies to remain within their emissions limits.
However, will the promise of money for carbon alone create the conditions necessary to counteract the drivers of deforestation?
If a REDD mechanism is to succeed, competing pressures on forests will need to be managed fairly and effectively. REDD needs to strike at the heart of the drivers, which are not always directly linked to markets, but are as often factors of problems such as illegal logging, bad planning, lack of law enforcement, the absence of tenure rights, the lack of accountability, the lack of coordination and capacity of institutions that manage forest resources and the loss of revenues and other governance factors.
It seems thus apparent that REDD will need to do more than create market incentives. To make REDD effective, efficient and capable of achieving lasting impacts, these governance issues need to be addressed. However, to make these difficult governance improvements countries will need assistance, while these improvements cannot be directly translated into reduced emissions and thus cannot be paid for by carbon credits. There is thus a need for a payment mechanism phase either in parallel or prior to a market mechanism, for REDD to be successful.
Although this phase could not be measured by tons of carbon removed, it is clear that such a phase needs to be measured (and reported and verified), not to fall into the same trap of general development assistance (ODA) over the last decades that has had a low percentage of success. The concept of this governance phase is getting more attention lately and one option of such a phase has been described recently in the Norwegian government -Meridian Institute Options Assessment Report (2009), as the 'Implementation of policies and measures phase'.
To make this governance phase measurable and successful, governance indicators (qualitative and/or quantitative) need to be developed and agreed upon to be able to identify areas of improvement and hold governments accountable (both governments that supply funds and governments that receive funds). These indicators should cover a wide range of governance topics such as institutions, management, tenure, planning, etc.
Addressing climate change and especially deforestation worldwide will depend on the right incentives and the governance capacity to effectively use these incentives. To improve governance and ensure progress and accountability of governance, we need to develop measurable and agreed upon governance indicators.

Who do you identify with?
It seems to me that come election time, people would give some thought to what impact electing one party or one person over the other would have on the things most important to them. Of course, family usually comes first, but tied to the family is that one earns a living to provide for the necessities of a family. I am constantly amazed at how easily people are distracted by collateral issues and seem to forget about voting for their own interests or selecting candidates with whom they have much in common.
I have noticed recent columns by a retired schoolteacher. He seems to be an intelligent fellow. His pieces are certainly well written, but it comes through loud and clear that he intends to vote against our current president. Most of the reasons appear to me to come from blogs or various sources of political rhetoric. What boggles my mind is how an intelligent, well educated, retired teacher could give serious thought to casting his lot with the candidate of a party whose state platform dismisses and opposes teaching the higher order of thinking, condones cutting public education funding by $4 billion, believes there is too much money being spent on education now, and is generally anti-science.
I suppose the retired teacher is no worse than the hourly wage earner who provides for his family through the sweat of his brow yet votes for a party that reveres the wealthy to the extent that money making more money is treated as far better than a worker making money. A party that believes a good business climate is one in which wages are suppressed along with the ability of workers to organize, and that injured workers ought to stop their whining and should just live with their injuries instead of thinking about suing their employers or other wrongdoers.
I'm also somewhat chagrined at seniors who would vote for the party who wants to abolish Medicare as we know it and curtail Social Security.
As I grow older, I become more and more concerned about health issues. I hear almost daily some ordinary working stiff or retired person make disparaging remarks about the Affordable Care Act, generally referred to in a snide way as "Obamacare." It still is amazing the average Joe does not recognize the difference between his family's situation and that of congressmen who have government funded Cadillac medical insurance, or rich folks like Mitt Romney who never give a second thought to whether or not they can provide adequate medical care to members of their family even if stricken with a catastrophic illness such as cancer, kidney failure or similar ailments. Families are driven to bankruptcy on a daily basis for lack of being able to afford or obtain adequate health care. Even worse, there are little children who die every day, particularly in states like Texas, because they do not have access to adequate health care. Most folks who are not rich seem to forget they are one step or one disease away from total disaster for themselves and their families unless the health care problem is addressed. The conservative response, to let the market handle the situation, is a phony and false promise. Who ever heard of the insurance industry figuring out how to take care of a bunch of sick people? It is to their gain to insure those who do not become sick and those who will never make a claim against them. Money and profit drive the private sector, not concern for the sick or the lame.
On another front, many veterans fell for the smear of a real combat veteran who ran for president with the "Swift Boat" lie paid for by a multi-billionaire. Now it seems they are trying to peddle as a real American hero a fellow who dodged military service during the Vietnam War in order to pedal a bike through France.
I will readily confess my bias, but it doesn't take me long to figure out I have little in common with a fellow who has a Swiss bank account.

text: Timogrub 0 Posted March 18, 2013 Just to be sure: I declare a march move with my SSU helicopter, on the same time I declare the intent of dropping a bomb. Thus I fly over my enemy's unit, but as I finished my movement he call for his right to react to the move and step away (let's say 6") from my helicopter route. Is his unit still a valid target or the bomb should be dropped on the soldiers head to work properly? Because if we talk about the rear arc of an aircraft moving 24" we are talking about a big part of the battlefield. Sorry for the question. I just can't understand how to use it in a realistic way. Thank you all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Advances, Summer 2012
These treatment teams are making special progress in three disorders: pancreatic cancer, bile duct cancer, and pancreatic cysts (the evaluation and management thereof).
A Message of Hope in Pancreatic Cancer
While pancreatic cancer is relatively rare compared with cancers of the colon, lung, and breast, with about 44,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the U.S., it is largely an aggressive disease with a sobering prognosis. Nevertheless, the progress made in developing new treatments for pancreatic cancer is encouraging.
Patients seeking care at Mass General Hospital and the Digestive Healthcare Center benefit from treatment with the latest in radiation techniques, including newly developed proton beam therapy. Mass General is the only medical center in New England to offer this treatment for patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. Rather than having surgical resection immediately following diagnosis, patients are offered this new form of radiation therapy in combination with standard chemotherapy prior to surgery. The technique involves just a one-week course of radiation treatment compared with the standard five weeks of postsurgical radiation in traditional protocols.
This tumor is an incidentally discovered cyst in a young woman that turned out to be a mucinous cystic neoplasm, seen here in the pathology picture.
For pancreatic cancer, proton beam therapy has the advantages of convenience and less toxicity because the treatment is of shorter duration and focused to spare healthy tissue. Mass General physicians led the phase 1 safety and feasibility trial on the technique under the guidance of Theodore Hong, MD, director of gastrointestinal radiation oncology, and Carlos Fernandez-del Castillo, MD, director of the Pancreas and Biliary Surgery Program and clinical co-director of the GI Cancer Center. Results of the 15-patient trial were published in 2011 in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology. The protocol was shown to be reasonable and safe. Patients were given one of four radiation doses in progressively shortened schedules along with chemotherapy. Surgery followed within one to six weeks after completion of chemotherapy. No dose-limiting toxicities or unexpected postoperative complications were noted. A phase 2 study has just been completed, with results presented at the 2012 American Society of Clinical Oncology conference in Chicago. Dr. Hong and colleagues are investigating proton beam radiation as a platform to which other agents are added, including radiation modifiers that make cancer cells more susceptible to radiation. An example includes the drug hydroxychloroquine, an existing medication developed for malaria treatment. When cancer cells perceive external harm, such as with radiation, they can retreat into a dormant-like state without experiencing cell death. The cancer can resurface, however, and become resistant to treatment. Hydroxychloroquine inhibits this cell-preserving strategy. Mass General researchers have just begun combining it with proton beam radiation to treat patients with pancreatic cancer, with the hope of improving the sensitivity of radiation and accompanying chemotherapy.Mass General researchers are also investigating new radiation modifiers for treating patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer. Very early investigational studies have shown that some of these patients responded well following treatment with vorinostat, a drug used to treat T-cell lymphoma, in combination with radiation. For more than 20 years, Mass General has been a center of excellence in intraoperative photon beam radiation techniques for pancreatic cancer and other cancers, and it is the only site in New England offering intraoperative radiation for unresectable pancreatic tumors. New Endoscopy Era for Bile Duct Cancer
CT scan of a mucinous cystic neoplasm.
Less common than pancreatic cancer, bile duct cancer strikes about 2,000 to 3,000 people each year. New imaging technologies at Mass General are improving the accuracy of bile duct cancer diagnosis during endoscopy. With confocal laser endomicroscopy, an imaging catheter is placed into the bile duct, allowing the endoscopist to look at the cells in real time. If bile duct cancer is detected, treatment can involve surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation. Additionally, stenting may be used to aid in drainage of the bile duct while at the same time the patient receives palliative care. Although stenting does not remove the cancer, it often reduces excessive bile in the duct, consequently relieving discomfort and improving a patient's quality of daily life. At Mass General, interventional endoscopists use stents in patients with bile duct cancer who cannot or should not have surgery. The procedure can be done in combination with chemotherapy and radiation.Covered Metal StentsOne of the most significant recent clinical advances in the palliative treatment of bile duct cancer has been the availability of high-quality, removable metal stents and the palliation they provide. Being able to place and remove stents is important because leaving them in long term poses a risk for infection and blockage. Without adequate drainage, bile duct tumors pose a serious risk of infection of the bile duct and the liver. Although patients receive antibiotic treatment, resistance develops over time, making it increasingly difficult to drain all the infected material as a result. Infection associated with bile duct cancer is the most common cause of death from the disease.Led by William R. Brugge, MD, director of GI endoscopy, Mass General physicians conducted a large prospective randomized clinical trial investigating new metal stents that are designed to provide long-term treatment to patients with bile duct cancer. These stents are now used routinely for palliative purposes at Mass General, permitting draining of the duct over the long term. Since many bile duct tumors are relatively slow growing, during a period of two to three years, stenting provides essential drainage, enabling patients to survive over this time with reduced symptoms and lessened complications.Radiofrequency Ablation
One of the most significant advances in active treatment for bile duct cancer is radiofrequency ablation (RFA). During RFA, the endoscopist places a heated catheter into the bile duct and burns off cells along the lining of the duct. Several patients have successfully been treated with RFA at Mass General. A pilot study of the procedure, which has institutional review board approval, is now in place at the hospital and is actively recruiting new patients.If clinical studies find that RFA is effective and safe, it could replace photodynamic therapy (PDT), a technique involving intravenous injection of a light-sensitive chemical into the bile duct. Once activated by light, the chemical ablates diseased tissue. But this approach leaves a patient's skin very sensitive to light and is extremely expensive, because many treatments are usually required. With RFA, Dr. Brugge expects that once a patient receives a treatment, he or she will return in a few months for follow-up, at which time an additional treatment can be performed if remaining cancer is detected.RFA is most likely to be useful for patients with bile duct cancer who cannot have surgery or do not respond well to radiation or chemotherapy. It may also become a first step in treatment followed by radiation and chemotherapy as necessary.Evaluating Pancreatic Cysts
Magnetic resonance cholangio pancreatography (MRCP) of a side-branch intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN).
Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of a malignant pancreatic mass.
The increased use of better-quality imaging protocols has led to a rise in detection of pancreatic cysts. Although a proportion may become malignant, many pancreatic cysts do not require active treatment. Differentiating between low- and high-risk lesions is difficult with traditional imaging. Therefore, better methods are needed to evaluate these cysts to improve imaging and better aid treating physicians who are unsure how to properly diagnose a patient with a pancreatic cyst.Endoscopic ultrasound is routinely used to assess pancreatic cysts at Mass General. Though many treatment centers rely on tandem MRI and CT scans to evaluate these cysts, research conducted at Mass General shows that endoscopic ultrasound gives excellent information—not just about the size of the cyst but also about its relationship to the duct itself and to other structures within the pancreas. The ultrasound also provides data about the presence of nodules within the cyst and the thickness of the cyst wall. With endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), a technology developed at Mass General, endoscopists can not only visualize the cyst but also remove a sample of the cyst fluid and biopsy any solid cyst component. The fluid is sent to cytology and analyzed for various markers, such as elevated levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), which suggests the presence of malignancy, or for the presence of molecular changes, notably the KRAS genetic mutation.
Mass General physicians are also investigating the use of a new imaging technique called optical coherence tomography (OCT) to photograph and evaluate pancreatic cysts. In a pilot study of tissue removed during pancreatectomy, researchers, including Dr. Brugge, showed that OCT can help distinguish low-risk pancreatic cysts from higher-risk cysts. A new in vivo study is about to begin at the hospital to evaluate the potential of OCT imaging in combination with EUS-FNA for differentiating between cystic lesions of the pancreas.Should surgical excision be necessary, Mass General surgeons can offer patients a less invasive procedure—a laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy to remove cysts in the pancreatic tail. This option provides for a quicker recovery than a standard open operation. Patients with cysts in the middle of the pancreas may benefit from a middle pancreatectomy, an operation pioneered at Mass General. This procedure avoids the removal of excess healthy tissue and surrounding organs, which is a common consequence with the larger Whipple surgery, a standard surgery for removing pancreatic tumors.Mass General Hospital's Digestive Healthcare Center is at the forefront of new treatments for a variety of pancreatic and biliary disorders. Some of the newest procedures have been developed through the hospital's network of experienced clinicians, who work in a multidisciplinary setting. This means that patients newly diagnosed with a pancreatic cyst benefit from tools that better distinguish between benign and cancerous tumors. And patients with pancreatic or bile duct cancer can be assured of receiving the best endoscopic, radiological, and surgical treatments available, even for cases previously considered terminal. callout Selected References

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver
are featured in a television spot promoting the state's fabulous
wine and food offerings, which will broadcast nationally and
in Canada during California Wine Month in September 2009,
as well as in October.
Visit us at:
Sacramento, Calif. — Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared September 2009 California Wine Month for the fifth consecutive year. Recognizing the Golden State's vintners and growers for their more than 200-year-old agricultural tradition, positive impact on the state and national economies, and commitment to sustainable winegrowing practices, the proclamation praises the wine community's many contributions.
"Our wineries attract tourism and provide countless jobs for Californians. Many are also committed to serving their communities and promoting socially and environmentally responsible farming practices," said Governor Schwarzenegger in the proclamation.
California wine generates 820,000 jobs in the U.S., including 330,000 in California. The state's vintners and growers, along with California's 80,000 restaurants, have helped make the Golden State a top destination for culinary travelers from around the world, attracting nearly 21 million visitors each year to its wine regions.
"It's a great honor to be recognized by the Governor and to receive his support for the September California Wine Month celebration," said Robert P. (Bobby) Koch, President and CEO of Wine Institute. "Our industry is a major economic driver for California, contributor to the important tourism industry and the world's leader in sustainable winegrowing."
The Governor is also an advocate for tourism and has given his support to a partnership between Wine Institute and the California Travel & Tourism Commission (CTTC) by appearing with First Lady Maria Shriver in CTTC's TV spot promoting California as the "Land of Wine and Food." The spot will broadcast this September and October across the nation and in Canada.
Visitors to California can explore the state's 2,800 wineries which produce 90 percent of U.S. wine. Wine Institute's consumer web site at discovercaliforniawine.com offers a database of California winery tasting rooms and a trip planning tool that provides maps and driving directions to the wineries. The database allows visitors to search wineries by region, variety produced and by dozens of amenities, including winery gardens, picnic grounds and green winegrowing practices.
"California is the fourth largest wine producer in the world. With over 60 percent of the state's winegrowers participating in the Sustainable Winegrowing Program, it is truly a model for wine regions in other states and abroad. The program has won Governor Schwarzenegger's top environmental award," said Karen Ross, President of the California Association of Winegrape Growers, whose organization is supporting California Wine Month and with Wine Institute established the Sustainable Winegrowing Program in 2002.
The discovercaliforniawine.com web site also features special events at wineries throughout the state during California Wine Month and includes a California Wine Month poster offer, the official proclamation from the governor and an "Insider's Guide to California Wine Country."
Retail and restaurant establishments throughout the nation are celebrating California Wine Month and several publications will feature special coverage of the state's wines.

California Wine Month is also supported by several association partners including the California Travel and Tourism Commission, the California Olive Oil Council , the National Restaurant Association and the California Restaurant Association which recently conducted its second annual "Best California Wine List Competition."
Winners of the 2009 California wine list competition included The Melting Pot in the category of restaurant companies with 10 or more outlets, The Firehouse Restaurant in Sacramento in the category of restaurant companies with fewer than 10 outlets, annual sales revenue $1 million or more per location, and California Café, Los Gatos, in the category of restaurant companies with fewer than 10 outlets, annual sales revenue less than $1 million per location.
Established in 1934, Wine Institute is the association of more than 1,000 California wineries and wine-related businesses that initiate and advocate state, federal and international public policy to enhance the environment for the responsible production, consumption and enjoyment of wine. Wine Institute members represent 85 percent of U.S. wine production and 90 percent of U.S. wine exports.
The California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG) was founded in 1974 with the mission to provide industry leadership to advocate public policies, research and education programs and trade positions that enhance the business of growing California winegrapes. CAWG's membership represents the growers of approximately 60 percent of California's total annual grape crush.

Maps & Modes
Of the nine maps that will come with Nexuiz, three are available in the beta I'm playing, and while perfectly competent, they're all a bit bog standard -- none of them present anything remotely as memorable or visually striking as, say, UT's infamous Facing Worlds. Back in the day, Q3A launched with 20 deathmatch maps, seven tournament maps, and four for capture the flag. To be fair, though, neither UT nor Q3A cost $10 when they came out -- but they also came with easy-to-use map editors, whereas Nexuiz uses the notoriously finicky CryEngine editor, so my hopes for new player-made maps are low.
Watch out for those crazy hula hoop powers.
Different modes can give a lot of life to a map, but Nexuiz features a grand total of two: team deathmatch and capture the flag. Both, shockingly, are limited to 4v4 matches. For comparison, Q3A and UT allow matches of up to 16 players in several different modes.
There isn't a single weapon that's even half as interesting as UT's snot gun.We've long since come to take alternate fire modes for granted, and their inclusion here gives Nexuiz an edge over the single-fire weapons of Q3A, at least. On the other hand, we're still looking at a couple machine guns, a sniper rifle, and a grenade gun, and a rocket launcher that still reigns supreme. There isn't a single weapon that's even half as interesting as UT's snot gun, and you won't find anything resembling a self-endangering room-cleaner like Quake's BFG 10k. UT's slow but potentially game-changing redeemer nuke may not have been welcome in every match and map, but it was unspeakably cool when placed well. There just isn't anything like that here. Nexuiz's arsenal comes off Blandy McBlanderson from Blandtown, Blandsylvania.
No arena shooter can live without a rocket launcher.
Mutators have been a part of Unreal Tournament since the beginning, but never in such a thorough way or as such an integral element of the gameplay as in Nexuiz. Where in UT mutators were essentially micro-mods that could be mixed and matched at the start of a game, here they're implemented as random pickups that can be used to make fundamental alterations to how the game works for yourself, your opponents, or everyone on the map. Some are unequivocally helpful, like doubling the value of armor pickups. Others, like the ability to summon enemies or allies to your location offer greater strategic possibilities, especially in CTF games. Many of these are functionally identical to some of the more popular UT mutators, like an on-death slowmo effect, and some are completely frivolous, like afflicting the graphics with a 256 color palette or replace someone's sound effects with farting noises.
So, is this guy on the red or the blue team?
The best ones, however, affect the entire arena by lowering gravity, or giving everyone jet packs. This can come off as a Mario Kart-like mess of random gadgetry, but what it actually accomplishes is to add much more for players to master -- it's not nearly enough to get good at the comparatively vanilla shooter experience: one must also learn how to play effectively when some jackass turns the entire arena into a slippery oil slick.
The Nexuiz beta comes off as pretty vanilla and maybe even a bit backward.Even against a couple crusty old bastards of the shooter scene, the Nexuiz beta comes off as pretty vanilla and maybe even a bit backward. Then again, there's something to be said for focusing on and refining what makes a game unique, and in this case that's the buttload of mutators and how they're incorporated as an essential and strategic part of the match. The only really unforgivable sin here is the tiny 4v4 match size, which I mention again because you'd be forgiven for thinking was a typo the first time. That's honestly just a little bit bizarre, even by the standards of over a decade ago.
Spy Guy says: For me, it's not so much how many players you can cram into an arena, it's whether the arena is the right size for the number of players. For some reason, a 4v4 game reminds me of this time when I was working undercover at a brothel in Paris, but I digress. How big is your ideal team deathmatch?

As PATconstructive says above, as pretty much all of these fans are designed to have their guard and blades easily removed for cleaning by the user/owner, then that is what any tester should do as well, if they can't get a decent earth bond reading from elsewhere.
I've never not been able to get a decent reading from the motor shaft, which is always exposed when the blades are removed, and I have never bothered messing around with 'probe extensions'.
Obviously, none of the above applies to Class II fans!

If there's one thing more tantalizing than a car that comes out this year, it's one that comes out next year. The current model may provide the most cutting-edge technology the industry has to offer, but next year's model dangles just out of reach, making it the most succulent forbidden fruit in the automotive marketplace.
Automakers have begun rolling out their 2014 models, and drivers across the country are in the process of salivating over them accordingly. But which ones are the most desirable?
Karl Brauer, a senior director at the car valuation and analysis company Kelley Blue Book, provided CNBC.com with his list of the eight most anticipated cars of 2014. He also talked about what gives them their allure and what consumers might expect to pay for some of them.

Power cost shocker as utility prices soar
The Northern Territory Government has announced utility cost increases that will push up bills for the average family by more than $2,000 a year.
From January 1, power bills will rise by 30 per cent, water by 40 per cent, and sewerage by 25 per cent.
Pensioners and some seniors will pay half of those increases.
The Power and Water Corporation says the moves will increase revenue by $163 million a year.
The corporation has a debt of $1.9 billion.
This is about 40 per cent of the Territory Government's total debt.
Chief Minister Terry Mills had flagged the "substantial" price rises in a taxpayer-funded advertising campaign earlier this month.
The announcement of the actual rises was made this afternoon.
Mr Mills says the cost rises are needed to reduce the Territory's financial risk.
He says the previous Labor government put off raising prices to a more sustainable level and would have been forced to make the same decision if it had won the election.
"If we were continue along with the ill-disciplined, self-indulgent view of the former government ... that would further jeopardise the financial future of the Northern Territory," he said.
Water and sewerage rates had already risen by 60 per cent since 2009, and electricity costs by more than 20 per cent.

I finally joined the Park Slope Co-op after two years of living in the neighborhood. And it's been kind of life-changing. Not because I'm suddenly exposed to organic and seasonal food, since I've been buying both for years, but because I no longer have to trek out to Chinatown for ingredients like lemongrass, curry leaves, etc. And having so much lemongrass close by has made me use regularly in the kitchen again, such as for making Vietnamese chicken curry and Thai lemongrass and ginger iced tea.
Earlier this week I decided to make lemongrass chicken wings. As some of you might have guessed by now, I love wings and will try to find any excuse to make them, whether it's for a summer cookout, mid-winter tiki party, Chinese-Caribbean party, or just reviving a homestyle Chinese dish that involves Coca-Cola.
The best way to extract full flavor from lemongrass, as I once learned from the ex-boyfriend of an old roommate who was a pastry chef, is to bruise the white ends of the lemongrass stalk with the blunt edge of your knife's knife before slicing. This releases the lemongrass flavor much better than simply chopping. The marinade for these wings is plenty flavorful, with fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and shallots. To get some nice browning in the oven, I baste the wings with a honey and soy sauce mixture during the roasting.
Hope you enjoy the wings! And maybe, to have even easier access to lemongrass, I should try growing it in my own apartment.
Lemongrass Chicken Wings
Serves 4
- 1 stalk lemongrass
- 2 1/2 pounds chicken, tips removed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, minced
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 handful peanuts, chopped
- Chopped cilantro (optional)
- Remove the hard end and outer layer of the lemongrass stalk. Bruise the white ends of your stalks with the blunt edge of a large knife (it helps release the lemongrass "juices"), then thinly slice and mince. You should end up with about 1 tablespoon of minced lemongrass. Discard the green tops.
- Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, combine the lemongrass, garlic, shallot, ginger, fish sauce, lime juice, peanut oil, brown sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Place the chicken wings into a large resealable freezer bag and pour the marinade over the wings. Close the freezer bag and shake so that the chicken is well-coated with marinade. Refrigerate for 4 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Stir together the honey and soy sauce and set aside. Line a large sheet tray with foil or parchment paper. Place the wings on the tray and roast for 30 minutes, basting the wings with the honey-soy mixture once about half-way through and once close to the end of the roasting time.
- Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the wings to a serving plate. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts and cilantro on top and serve.

Gallipoli: A ridge too far
Event Information
5 Aug 2010 8:30am - 6 Aug 2010 5:15pm
- BAE Systems theatre - Australian War Memorial. Treloar Cres, Campbell
- Canberra
- Australian Capital Territory
Other Information
- Cost: Various
In August 2010, the Australian War Memorial will convene an international conference to mark the 95th anniversary of the climactic battles of the Gallipoli campaign. In early August 1915, after months of stalemate in the trenches on Gallipoli, British and Dominion troops launched a series of assaults in an all-out attempt to break the deadlock and achieve a decisive victory. The "August offensive" resulted in heart-breaking failure and costly losses on both sides. Many of the sites of the bloody struggle became famous names: Lone Pine, the Nek, Chunuk Bair, Hill 60, Suvla Bay.
Debate has continued to the present day over the strategy and planning, the real or illusory opportunities for success, and the causes of failure in what became the last throw of the dice for the Allies. Some argue that these costly attacks were a lost opportunity; others maintain that the outcomes were simply inevitable.
This conference will draw leading military historians from around the world to bring multi-national perspectives to these intriguing questions. Keynote speaker, Professor Robin Prior of the University of Adelaide, author of Gallipoli: the end of the myth (2009), will join a range of international authorities from Australia, New Zealand, Britain, France, Germany and Turkey to present their most recent research findings.

Bringing Economics to Life
9About the Summit
Welcome to the official website of the Warwick Economics Summit, an international forum for the world's brightest students and most influential speakers. Every year we welcome students from universities across the world and speakers from Europe, Asia, Africa and America.
The Summit is one of the largest student-run academic conferences in Europe: set apart from the rest by world-renowned figures, engaging debates and educational workshops touching on a range of global and economic issues, including politics, development and finance.
The weekend offers the chance to meet and learn from this truly diverse group of speakers and to socialise with delegates from around the world at our black tie ball.
The aim of our team is to provide a platform upon which to exchange knowledge, think creatively and debate current issues, all in the friendly environment of the University of Warwick.
9About the Department
The Warwick Department of Economics is the one of the most successful in the UK, consistently ranking within the top five economics departments across the country with excellent ratings in teaching, research and the student experience.
They have always been passionate supporters of student run activities and giving their students the greatest exposure to new ideas.
With the departments' support the Summit has gone from strength to strength and we are looking forward to continuing our relationship with them for the coming year.

The complex process explained in detail
A. By Using the Motherboard Jumper:
In most motherboards CMOS battery is soldered, which makes it difficult to remove the battery. In this case we use another method.
Almost all motherboards contain a jumper that can clear all CMOS settings along with the BIOS password. The location of this jumper varies depending upon the motherboard brand. You should read your motherboard manual to check its location. If you don't have the manual then look for the jumpers near the CMOS battery. Most of the manufacturer label the jumper as CLR, CLEAR, CLEAR CMOS, etc.
When you find the jumper, look carefully. There will be 3 pins and the jumper will be joining the center pin to either left or right pin. What you need to do, is remove the jumper and join the center pin to the opposite pin. e.g. if the jumper joins center pin to left pin, then remove it and join center pin to right pin. Now wait for a few seconds and then again remove the jumper and join the center pin to left pin.
Make sure to turn the PC off before opening the cabinet and resetting the jumper.
B. By Using Software:
I have found that BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is the most effective.:
BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool is a program that works instantly to remove any lost or forgotten BIOS/CMOS password. Simply boot your PC to DOS and execute the program, and get access to forgotten BIOS/CMOS passwords in just seconds
BIOS/CMOS Password Recovery Tool Service: biospasswordrecovery.com
