On September 20, after successfully completing eight weeks of rigorous training, 17 Afghan women graduated as new police officers. As the thirteenth class of policewomen to graduate, they joined the ranks of 270 other women who have also received this honor since the Ministry of Interior established the Women's Police Corps in 2008. With each graduating class, the number of trained, skilled policewomen grows, setting an example for the next generation of Afghan women. Some of the graduates will have the opportunity to serve in one of the many Family Response Units (FRUs) across Afghanistan. These units are focused on stopping violence against women, and investigating crimes not only against women, but against children as well. The graduates' service in these units will be critically important in helping to protect traditionally vulnerable members of Afghan society and building a new Afghanistan.
Brigadier General Sapand, Acting Kabul Police Academy Commander, expressed his appreciation for the work of the women police officers, saying, "Women face challenges in all countries, but our women police face more challenges. Yet, we must work together to go forward and not backward."
The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) has a long history of involvement with the FRUs as part of its police program. Following the transition of the police training program to National Training Mission-Afghanistan (NTM-A) in 2010, an INL police advisor continued to serve as the FRU program manager. With INL and NTM-A goals for the management of the FRU largely met, INL ended its direct program involvement in September 2011. Because of its importance to the U.S. government and the international community, however, INL continues to closely liaise with NTM-A regarding the FRU and opportunities for women within the Afghan National Police.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony, Jim Crow, INL Police Advisor, noted that the United States "looks forward to seeing an increasing number of Afghan women being given opportunities to pursue professional careers, such as serving in the Afghan National Police, so they too can contribute fully to their nation's development."
You can learn more about INL programs on the state.gov website and through the @INLBureau on Twitter.

Cate honors her late mother, Elizabeth Edwards, by joining the fight against breast cancer.
For Cate Edwards, the past three years have been nightmarish, a relentless maelstrom of gossip and publicity and tragedy. But in the midst of it all, Cate, 31�the eldest daughter of former presidential candidate John Edwards and the late Elizabeth Edwards�remained poised and diplomatic. Now, rising from the heartbreak and tragedy, she has followed in her mother�s footsteps and joined in the fight against breast cancer. Cate is an advocate for the Count Us, Know Us, Join Us�program, an organization dedicated to addressing the unique psychosocial and physical needs of women living with advanced breast cancer. �It�s extremely rewarding to lend my voice and support to this community,� Cate says. �To know that I�m using my mother�s experiences to make a difference in the lives of those touched by advanced breast cancer�it�s very fulfilling.� RELATED: After a Breast Cancer Diagnosis� In 2010, Cate�s father, former Senator John Edwards, was involved in a highly publicized extramarital affair that tore the family apart and thrust Cate into the spotlight. At the time, Cate�s mother, the late Elizabeth Edwards, was battling an aggressive form of breast cancer that would ultimately claim her life in 2010, just months before Cate�s marriage to high school sweetheart Trevor Upham. While standing at the altar in October 2011, Cate couldn�t help but feel a profound emptiness on what was supposed to be the most joyful day of her life. �Your wedding day is a day that you envision everybody that you love being a part of,� Cate recalls. �My mom wasn�t physically there, but in my mind there is no question that she was a part of the ceremony.� As you listen to Cate reflect on her mother, a compelling portrait of Elizabeth Edwards begins to emerge: That of a strong woman, pragmatic and fiercely determined, with an insatiable lust for life that persisted until her final days. [caption id="attachment_116939" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Cate Edwards, left, and mother Elizabeth at a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill basketball game.[/caption] In 2004, Elizabeth was diagnosed with breast cancer after doctors found a lump in her breast. �She had this mentality, �Okay, what do we do now?�� Cate says. �And I garnered a lot of strength from that, from her ability to look at the practical elements of what we would do next and also the courage she showed throughout the whole process.� In 2007, three years after her initial breast cancer diagnosis, Elizabeth was blindsided once again when she learned that her cancer had metastasized. Facing a grim prognosis and limited treatment options, Elizabeth refused to sink into hopelessness. �She had hard days, there�s no question about that,� Cate says. �But she lived with hope and with purpose because she didn�t know how many days she had left.� Elizabeth ultimately succumbed to cancer in December 2010. The loss of her mother left Cate bereft�and inspired to act. �I wanted to do something in her honor,� Cate says. Recognizing the need to drive greater awareness and support for advanced breast cancer patients, Cate joined the ranks of the Count Us, Join Us, Know Us program, which strives to bring much-needed attention to the advanced breast cancer community. Breast cancer is one of the most visible and supported diseases in the world. However, most of the research and advocacy efforts tend to privilege the early breast cancer movement, which focuses on early detection, prevention and eventual cure. �There are about 250,000 women diagnosed every year with advanced breast cancer,� Cate explains. �The Count Us program was created to address the unique needs of those women.� According to Cate, women with advanced breast cancer grapple with financial trouble, feelings of helplessness, low self-esteem and other mental, physical and social challenges. �When my mom had advanced breast cancer, she lived with a great deal of uncertainty, as a lot of women who live with advanced breast cancer do,� Elizabeth says. �Count Us is all about giving those women a network of love and support.� The past few years have been a tough ride for Cate, but it seems things are finally beginning to look up. Cate is preparing for her third wedding anniversary. And, in spite of everything that�s happened with her father, Cate says that the two of them have reached a level of forgiveness and acceptance. �My father and I have worked really hard, and we�ve gotten to a really good place,� Cate says. �At the end of the day, he�s my dad and we love each other.� �To learn more about Count Us and how you can get involved, visit the Count Us website.�Brought to you by: Spry Living

Owens disappointed by Farm Bill rejection
The House's rejection of the Farm Bill has left lawmakers and agricultural leaders reeling.
The bill was rejected by a 195-234 vote, and it remains unclear whether a new one will be written by the House or if the House will vote on the Senate's version of the bill.
Rep. Bill Owens, who represents the North Country in Congress, said he disagreed with some of the amendments to the Farm Bill but still voted in favor of it.
"I was disappointed that an amendment was adopted during floor consideration in the House to strip out a key provision of the dairy policy reforms included in the bill," the Democrat from Plattsburgh said, referring to the Dairy Security Act.
The Dairy Security Act, which was replaced by the Dairy Freedom Act, would have replaced the Dairy Product Price Support Program, the Milk Income Loss Contract and the Dairy Export Initiative with a voluntary margin protection program designed to stabilize the market and keep farmers' profits stable. It also placed limits on milk production when there is an oversupply of milk.
The Dairy Freedom Act allows farmers to buy margin insurance, a program that pays them when the national margin, calculated as milk price minus feed costs, drops. It doesn't include regulations on milk production.
"Unfortunately, if the bill moves forward with this change, the new safety net created will be significantly weaker, particularly for small farmers," Owens said. "It is my hope that future versions of the Farm Bill include stronger protections for dairy farmers as well as less dramatic reductions in the SNAP programs."
SNAP refers to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the food aid for low-income people that was previously called food stamps. Even though another amendment to the Farm Bill would have reduced SNAP funding to $20.5 billion over the next 10 years, many Republicans took issue with it because it SNAP still took up about $80 billion of the $100 billion in the bill.
Owens said SNAP is an integral portion of the Farm Bill because it links the needs of urban communities with those of agricultural communities.
"Without the SNAP program's inclusion in the Farm Bill, I believe it would be difficult to make the case to members from urban regions about the needs of ag communities," Owens said. "I am optimistic for the future, however, as interest continues to grow in New York products and locally sourced foods. New York has a number of rich offerings like apples, maple, wine and dairy products that rely on good farm policy but also engage people in rural areas. Over time, I do believe we can develop greater interest in the work farmers do across the region."
Owens added that several aspects of the Farm Bill would have benefited North Country farmers.
"There are a number of provisions in the House Farm Bill to support both local food systems and small and beginning farms, which I strongly support," Owens said. "These include things like enhanced risk management through the crop insurance program for beginning farmers, increased access to farmers markets for SNAP beneficiaries, and reauthorization of programs to improve direct producer to consumer market opportunities and development of local food system infrastructure."

Diagnostic Description
Laetiporus sulphureus has yellow pores and grows from the "butt" of hardwoods, at the base of the tree or farther away. L. gilbertsonii is found in the coastal western US on Eucalyptus and on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. It is indistinguishable from L. sulphureus, but they don't mate in culture. L. conifericola grows in the western US on living and dead conifers. L. huronensis grows in the great lakes region on eastern hemlock in the spring. L. cincinnatus has white pores and grows primarily from soil, parasitic on the roots of trees.

Warren General Hospital
Dear editor,
Last night (New Year's Eve) after suffering for a week with a severe respiratory cold, I had trouble breathing and paid a visit to the WGH emergency room. I went over about 2:00 AM. They got me in almost immediately and I was seen and treated by Dr. Mike and RN Mark. Both were extremely courteous and patient with me, and after diagnosing my problem, they provided me with a breathing treatment and prescribed medications that really helped my problem. I was home by 3:30 AM.
We do not always appreciated how fortunate we are to have the WGH emergency room. With all the problems the hospital is facing, Medicare reductions, layoffs, taxes etc., they are still able to fully staff this wonderful facility.
Thank you everyone in the emergency room, I wish you all a very happy and healthy new year, and thank you John Papalia for continuing to maintain this much needed facility.

sage rod---etc
wondering if anyone has tried the little,light,sage rod--think it goes by TCX--or something like that-- it goes from 4wt to 00? it looks to be blondish-green--med fast--7ft and 7'10"--just right for The Smokies--i like sage rods even if they are pricey--they are made in USA and have a nice finish--have owned 1--was stolen out of my truck--while fishing the middle prong,Tremont--a bleak,bad summer day--donated my fav rod to someone of a low life nature--was zeroed in on by a copperhead so big that it probably wouldn't strike at you,not this big boy,he seemed to be the type to drag you off for afternoon snack---casting was terrible--could not relax--had a couple hits on ants--no fish to show for it--rain,rain,rain.
Noticed Bass Pro Shops opened a super store on I-40 across from pig.For. exit--They want it all I suppose--and they are eyeing the fly fishing market as a dandy niche to unload lots of imported fishing tackle on lots of tourists hoping to disrupt the trade established by the real fly shops in the Smokies area--I dislike these "superstores".
Re: sage rod---etc
I did the mistake of taking a job offer from them. I helped set up the store and I realized my mistake as soon as we got inventory coming in. I realize we have to sell products from all price levels but to be considered a serious fly shop you need to carry a little bit of the better stuff also. As for made in U.SA. I a champion of that concept but it is almost impossible to always do that. There are not enough products out there made in U.S. anymore. It is a fact of life. My main gripe about BPS was the fact that they are not taking fly fishing seriously at this particular store. It's just a joke and I'm glad I got out of it.
Re: sage rod---etc
Hello Hans,
I just found the new board this morning sorry things did't work out for you at Bass Pro. I have been to the Orlando store and they carry a few good items, but overall I prefer shops like LRO where the there is more variety of products geared to the area where I am fishing at that time. Plan on heading up north sometime in spring to do some trout fishing in my home state (Ohio) and the Smokies on the way ther or the way back depending on the weather.
Have fun!

The list of candidates for the Bears' head coaching vacancy has climbed to at least six.
The latest name to be linked to the job is Pete Carmichael, who is in his fourth season as the offensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints. Carmichael, 41, interviewed with the Bears on Wednesday, according to a report by Pro Football Talk.
Like several other candidates for the Bears' job opening, Carmichael has plenty of hands-on experience working with quarterbacks. He has worked with Drew Brees for the past seven seasons as offensive coordinator from 2009-12 and quarterbacks coach from 2006-08.
Before joining the Saints, Carmichael had brief coaching stints with the San Diego Chargers, Washington Redskins and Cleveland Browns. He also has experience as an assistant coach in the college ranks with Louisiana Tech and New Hampshire.
Other candidates who have been linked to the Bears include Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Tom Clements, Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan, Atlanta Falcons special-teams coach Keith Armstrong and Dallas Cowboys special-teams coach Joe DeCamillis.
That list likely will increase in the coming days as general manager Phil Emery broadens his search for Lovie Smith's replacement.

Yesterday, most responders indicated they do not vary their tea tastes by changing seasons, but most felt their tastes are changing nevertheless. You may still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.
Welcome one and all to TeaDay. Brew some tea and come share what is in your cup through out the day. Be sure to check out what fellow TeaChatters are sipping as well. If you need to, you can also reflect back on your TeaDay.
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic was suggested by Hop. Since he put the word "thinking" in quotes, I suppose you can interpret this in a number of ways. Please share your thoughts on how much you "think" about tea typically.
I am looking forward to hearing about what is in your cup, and your thoughts on tea today!

Topic: Refactor Help Needed
I need some help with a quick refactoring I decided to do.
I have a users controller and because of the fields and validations on those fields I wanted to pull the register portion out of the controller and put a new/create in its own controller called admits.
however upon doing so my view of Controllers was quickly brought to the forefront. I think my knowledge is lacking.
I created the Controller with script/generate and it is called Admits
In routes declared
map.resources :admits
map.resources :users
Admits has two actions new and create... the others are blank.
class AdmitsController < ApplicationController
Controller Admits
# GET /admits/new
# GET /admits/new.xml
def new
@admit = User.new
@state = State.all(:order => :abbreviation)
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @admit }
# POST /admits
# POST /admits.xml
def create
@admit = User.new(params[:admit])
@state = State.find(:all, :order => :abbreviation)
respond_to do |format|
if @admits.save
flash[:notice] = "User #{@admit.username} was successfully created."
format.html { redirect_to blogs_url }
format.xml { render :xml => @admit, :status => :created, :location => @admit }
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => @admit.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
def index
def edit
def update
The problem I am seeing is that the new action is submitting the data through the User.create action and there is some code in the User view causing the create to choke. I fear this is a shortfall in my understanding of RESTful routing.
What is the proper way to get new to POST via admits create action?
Do I need to make Admits a subclass of UserController instead of ApplicationController?
Is it a problem with routes?
Any help or pointing in the right direction is appreciated. If you need more code let me know but there really isn't much more that is specific to Admits.
Also in the view there is a new.html.erb file

If you prefer a once daily multi, and can swallow a larger tablet, (approximately 7/8" X 3/8" X 1/4") then this is a top of line product which addresses those supplemental needs of 40+ women. The tablet has a mid-line indentation to make the tablet easier to split, if you prefer to divide your dose for easier swallowing. Comes in an amber glass bottle and is more than a 2 month supply. If a smaller tablet (approximately 3/4" X 1/4" X 1/4") is more to your liking, try the 3 tablet per day version of the women's 40+ multi. Be aware, however, that there are some variations in the formulation of the once daily vs. the 3X a day version of Every Woman's 40+.
Great Multivitamin for Women over 40
Posted by Aloha-Health on Apr 22, 2013
This vitamin works great for me. I especially like it's bioavailability and there's no need to take it with food. Another plus is I only need to take 1 daily. New Chapter is one of the best supplement companies out there. They avoid plastics in their packaging using glass bottles instead. Their products cost a little more than others but it's worth it for quality and effectiveness. I really trust New Chapter products.
Been taking these for several months; really like them
Posted by 4949089652989536664 on Jul 23, 2013
I love that these are 1 per day, but they are a large tablet and may not be suitable for people who have trouble swallowing. They seem very high quality and have not caused any problems for me (like constipation). I bought 4 bottles this time, if that tells you anything!

Sweet Sausage and Three Cheese Lasagna
- Meat Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, removed from casings and crumbled
- 8 ounces lean ground pork
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- Two 28-ounce containers crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 medium dried bay leaves
- Lasagna:
- One 9-ounce box no-boil lasagna noodles
- 24 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 pound mozzarella cheese, low-moisture or fresh, thinly sliced
- 2 cups finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 2 ounces)
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
For the meat sauce: Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add the garlic and onions, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook until just softened. Add the sausage and ground pork and stir to break up the meat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat starts to color, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the wine and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate the browned bits, until the alcohol smell is cooked off. Add the tomatoes, 1 tablespoon salt, the basil, oregano and bay leaves and season well with freshly ground black pepper. Stir until well mixed and the tomatoes start to simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld, at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour.
For the lasagna: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
Spread 2 cups of the sauce in a thin layer over the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Layer 4 noodles over the sauce, top with 2 cups more sauce and spread it evenly over the noodles. Evenly dollop one-quarter of the ricotta across the sauce, top with one-quarter of the mozzarella and sprinkle evenly with one-quarter of the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, for a total of 4 layers.
Cover with foil and bake until the liquids are bubbling and the noodles are beginning to soften, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is golden brown and the noodles are completely tender, about 20 minutes more. Allow to rest 20 minutes before cutting.

Taste of Chaos -- Los Angeles, CA -- February 14th, 2009
hey, this is merely a review.
i had very mixed feelings about this concert. i hated bring me the horizon, loved cancer bats, and was truly unsure about the rest of the bands. all in all this show was a bittersweet victory.
A local band called The Haven came on first immediately after doors opened. They sure did not know how to work the crowd, or maybe the crowd just wasn't in the mood to be worked... They said if we went crazy we'd get a free CD from them. Of course maybe 3 or 4 people went crazy and then at the end they gave them free. talk about failed promotion. overall i'd like to credit the bassist for good stage presence, and the guitarist for his rare yet suttle metal vocals.
The Haven recieves: 7/10
Not my cup of tea but I appreciate bands who really give it their all and overall they were some talented musicians. Also the guitarist was cool I met him afterwards working the bands merch table. The only thing I can describe the Haven as is Muse on acid.
The next band was THE CANCER BATS!! They fucking tore shit up. They rocked everybodies' asses off. Or maybe that was just me. They were filled with talented musicians who knew how to use their instruments to the full potential. Here's were the bitter part of bittersweet comes into play. I start moshing like crazy and I realize I'm one of the few who is moshing. I look at the pit and I see a bunch of sad hxc emo dancers. I felt ashamed to be at the concert, and maybe I should have been. But overall fuck it I had a great time.
The Cancer Bats recieve: 9.5/10
One of the tightest live bands I've seen. I went apeshit during Hail Destroyer, and was having the time of my li---evening..
I was ready for anything after the Cancer Bats. And what do I get? You guessed it, I get the faggots that call themselves Pierce the Veil. After ten seconds I was out of that pit. Not much more to say other than their singer sounded like a pre-pubescent toddler screaming about the troubles of life... ugh
My dissapointment continued as Bring me the Horizon came on. Unfortunately they had a huge fan base. I'm proud that I was nowhere near that pit.
Then came on a band called Four Year Strong. At first glance I hated them. I wanted nothing to do with their music. I was wrong and I'm sorry I ever thought that. They were crazy. 10 people crowdsurfing at a time, all were enjoying the night. They easily stole the show from the band that was about to come on, Thursday. Four Year Strong really made me a fan.
Four Year Strong recieves: 9/10
They really know how to work the crowd and transform people into fans.
Last but certainly not least Thursday. They honestly were nothing to write home about and were not at the right place in the billing. Don't get me wrong I like Thursday, a lot, in fact, but they weren't right as headliners. Something was wrong with that. Anyways they still put on a crazyass show and rocked the house. I crowdsurfed once and it was really fun. My friend did it twice.
Thursday recieves: 9/10
I really think this band has huge potential. I think their vocals were more focused on alternative than they needed to be. They really worked the crowd though, at one point they threw huge balloons into the crowd and nobody really cared what they were playing, as long as they had their balloons. What's better than seeing your favorite band play? Seeing your favorite band play with balloons!
Overall I'm really happy I went. The highlight of my night was "Hail Destroyer" by Cancer Bats. They really were amazing. I must say that this festival is indeed dying. The tour once included bands like A7X, Bullet For My Valentine, and Atreyu, and are now replaced by [for the most part] no namer bands who will not be remembered the day after.
Thanks for reading, and I really recommend you check this tour out, as this was the launching date of the tour.
I dont like the lineup but i was gonna go to this show because my friend was going, i really felt like going to a show, and i had nothing to do today plus tix were $10, but then i find out they got raised back up to $20 and i didnt end up having a ride anyways.
My friend likes BMTH and said they had a crazy crowd though.
I personally think they suck ass and bored the shit out of me when they opened up for As I Lay Dying.
1.19 Nightwish
2.4 August Burns Red
2.13 Bodom
2.17 Machine Head
2.18 Symphony X
1/12 - Entombed A.D. w/ Full of Hell
1/26 - Inquisition w/ Truckfighters
1/28 - Starkill w/ Spellcaster
2/11 - Marduk w/ Incantation
He was defending the genre of noise, which is 1000x superior to almost all of the bands that played here.

Via Technologies, a developer of microprocessors, graphics chips and core-logic sets, has announced a new platform that should enable feature-rich multimedia systems with very low power consumption. The new "Trinity" platform will utilize mini-ITX 2.0 form-factor, Via Nano processor, S3 Graphics' graphics processing unit as well as a Via core-logic.
"With Mini-ITX 2.0, we declared that small form factor meant no compromise on essential technologies or performance. The Via Trinity platform is a natural extension of that philosophy for ultra compact systems. This platform leverages Via' long-standing expertise in shrinking the form factor to deliver a truly high definition experience in small devices, perfect for a variety of lifestyles and applications," said Richard Brown, vice president of marketing at Via Technologies.
Via Trinity platform comprises three chips: Via Nano or Via C7 central processing unit (CPU), Via VX800 single-chip core-logic as well as Via Chrome 500-series, 400-series or 20-series graphics processing unit (GPU).
The S3 Graphics Chrome 400- and 500-series graphics chips support the latest DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL application programming interfaces, feature hardware decoding of high-definition videos in H.264, MPEG-4, VC-1, WMV-HD and AVS formats, which makes them suitable for multimedia systems or home-theater personal computers (HTPCs). Meanwhile, performance of Via Nano should be enough for basic tasks.
The introduction of Via Trinity is another example of growing importance of computing platforms. Obviously, separately neither Via Nano CPU nor S3 Graphics Chrome GPU can compete against offerings from companies like Advanced Micro Devices, Intel Corp. or Nvidia Corp in terms of performance. But when the chips are sold as a solution for HTPCs or low-cost energy-saving multimedia systems, they may pose certain interest.
Despite of the fact that Via's Trinity seems to have potential, so far no computer maker announced its support.

JazzSet in October
October 3, 2011. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: Alternate Routes, Ben Williams, danilo perez, Green Mill, Jazz Alive, JazzSet, Kennedy Center Jazz, kenny werner, Masters, njpac, Poncho Sanchez, Randy Weston, roy hargrove, Toots Thielemans, village vanguard, Von Freeman, Yotam Silberstein
JazzSet with Dee Dee Bridgewater is celebrating ten years with Dee Dee as host, and nearing our 20th anniversary on the air with live music every week. You have two chances to catch this week's show on WBGO Jazz 88 - Sundays at 6pm, Wednesdays at 6:30. Miss a show? Listen on demand. We're in Surround Sound. Here's our early fall line-up:
THIS WED, OCT 5, HEAR 2012 NEA Jazz Master Von Freeman, born October 3, 1923
We knew Freeman was born and stayed in Chicago, but until earlier this year, everyone including the man himself thought his birth year was 1922. Howard Reich of The Chicago Tribune suspected it was 1923, and writes here about how he corrected Von Freeman history. On this JazzSet from New Year's Eve, 2010, at the Green Mill, he dukes it out in a mock battle with fellow tenor Ed Petersen .
SUN, OCT 9, AND WED, OCT 12, DISCOVER Ben Williams & Sound Effect and the Yotam Silberstein Quartet .. two new talents from the KC Jazz Club
Williams from the DC area won the Thelonious Monk International Bass Competition; now he leads a fresh-sounding quintet with Marcus Strickland on sax and Christian Sands on piano, to name just two. Guitarist Yotam from Tel Aviv made a great first impression on Kennedy Center audiences in the sold-out Ella! concert (as broadcast on JazzSet), and in Yotam's quartet you'll hear his boyhood friend from Israel, Roy Assaf on piano.
SUN, OCT 16, AND WED, OCT 19, NEA Jazz Master Randy Weston & African Rhythms
For pianist Weston, jazz is not a genre. It's home, celebrated in music from the opening "African Rhythms" to his long-time theme, "Love, the Mystery Of."SUN, OCT 23, AND WED, OCT 26, Danilo Perez AND Poncho Sanchez, Back to Back
Danilo from Panama plays emotional, colorful, storytelling music from his album Providencia. Poncho from southern California and his long-running Latin jazz band (two dozen albums, one a year) party with the Newark audience, including some of his own family.
SUN, OCT 30, AND WED, NOV 2, NEA Jazz Master Toots Thielemans and Kenny Werner at the Kennedy Center - broadcast premiere of a concert from March, 2010
Toots holds the harmonica to his lips, the mic to his harmonica, and the music seems to come straight from his heart, with Guggenheim Fellow Kenny Werner on piano. The music comes from Belgium, the US and Brazil.
SUN, NOV 4, AND WED, NOV 7, The Second Set: Trumpeter Roy Hargrove Quintet at the Village Vanguard
The first set aired Live from the Village Vanguard on WBGO and NPR Music. Here's the second set - all music, not a word from the stage. At the end, the audience claps for three minutes straight for Justin Robinson, alto; Sullivan Fortner, piano; Ameen Saleem, bass; Montez Coleman, drums; and Roy Hargrove. The sweetest tone in town.

Knapp, Caroline
Caroline Knapp Drinking: A Love Story
Born in 1959, Knapp is an American journalist and memoirist.
In Drinking: A Love Story (1996) Knapp traces her experiences as an alcoholic from the time she took her first drink as a young teenager until she checked herself into a rehabilitation center at the age of thirty-four. Influenced by Peter Hamill's book A Drinking Life, Knapp wanted to write about the effects of alcoholism and addiction from a woman's perspective. Knapp notes in her memoir that she was not the stereotypical alcoholic; she was born into a wealthy and privileged family in Massachusetts, graduated magna cum laude from Brown University, and became a hardworking and successful columnist, writing under the pseudonym Alice K., for the Boston Phoenix. The often personal matters Knapp wrote about in her column may have prepared her for the revelations made in Drinking, in which she examines her relationships with various family members, particularly the one between her and her father, a psychiatrist, also an alcoholic, who was often distant and unemotional. He died in 1992 of a brain tumor; shortly after, Knapp's mother, an artist, died of breast cancer. Knapp notes that the deaths of her parents caused her to drink even more until she eventually sought help in 1994. In addition to her alcoholism, Knapp writes about her struggles with anorexia and the emotional impact of having an abortion and engaging in an affair. Critical reaction to Drinking: A Love Story has been mixed. Some reviewers have faulted the work for a lack of focus and detached, unengaging portrayals of other alcoholics. Other critics, however, have lauded Knapp's honesty, introspection, and focus on self-discovery as well as her prose style; Walter Kirn, for example, called Knapp's sentences "measured, hand-cut gems."
Principal Works
Alice K.'s Guide to Life: One Woman's Quest for Survival, Sanity, and the Perfect New Shoes (journalism) 1994
Drinking: A Love Story (memoir) 1996
Irene Sege (essay date 1 May 1996)
SOURCE: "Her Time in a Bottle: Caroline Knapp's Memoir Recounts Her Painful Love Affair with Alcohol," in The Boston Globe, May 1, 1996, p. 61.
[In the following essay, Knapp discusses with Sege why she wrote Drinking: A Love Story and details her experiences as an alcoholic.]
Honestly, can you imagine a man describing his alcoholism like this?
"It happened this way: I fell in love and then, because the love was ruining everything I cared about, I had to fall out."
Well, that is how writer Caroline Knapp opens her memoir, titled, femininely enough, Drinking: A Love Story.
The Boston Phoenix columnist, who is 36, had her first drink as a young teenager, 13 or 14 years old, and her last a little more than two years ago. In those intervening years she graduated magna cum laude from Brown University and has worked as a journalist. She never wrote drunk, but she has written nursing a hangover.
Knapp is—and was, through all those years of drinking—well bred and high-achieving, a closet imbiber who hardly fit the stereotypical picture of the two-fisted drinker, the two-fisted male drinker, who loses everything to too many bottles of gin. More than two-thirds of the nation's estimated 8.1 million alcoholics are men, but that still leaves 2.5 million women with drinking problems.
That is one reason Knapp wrote this book.
"I was moved and influenced by Pete Hamill's book [A Drinking Life], but it was such a guy story and such a guy experience with drinking," she says. "He was the boisterous hard-drinking reporter, out covering wars. There was not a lot of the stuff that women I know struggle with when they become addicted to something and try to get out of it. Fears and self-doubts and self-loathing and all that stuff.
"I felt if I had read something from a real female perspective during my own drinking it would have been really helpful to me."
The other reason that Caroline Knapp wrote this book is that what Caroline Knapp does is write about herself, and this, quite simply, is the time when finally she could tackle one of the biggest forces in her life. She is Cambridge-raised, the daughter of a psychiatrist and an artist, and her writing melds the examined life and the creative life.
Knapp has bantered in print (often through her alter ego, the thoroughly modern and perpetually insecure Alice K.) about orgasms and suntans and being a grown-up. She has written seriously about her experience with anorexia and the deaths of her parents.
But, other than a brief mention of her own alcoholism in a 1995 column on the "moderation" movement, Knapp has not written about her bout with the bottle, with the roots and comforts of her alcoholism, with the way she took to liquor like a lover, then mourned its loss.
Now that she has, all her experience with self-revelation is proving a flimsy shield against the fear with which she awaits the publication of her book this month by the Dial Press.
"I'm really scared," Knapp says. "I'm more anxious about it than I feel I have a right to be. I've written personal stuff for so long, but it's always been a fairly small audience and a more limited way of being personal. This just feels much bigger. It makes me feel terribly exposed.
"There's still a stigma around alcoholism. A big one. This is not a lot of fun to imagine people I used to drink with or work with or friends of my parents opening up the paper and saying, 'Oh, gee, look, Jean and Pete's kid is an alcoholic.' It strips away a level of privacy I'm very used to having. It was a relief to write it, but mostly right now I'm just scared."
Knapp is sitting at the kitchen table of the house, or rather the half of a side-by-side duplex, that she bought in 1994, four months after she quit drinking. Her dog, Lucille, a German shepherd mix, her other major post-drinking acquisition, "something in my life that would have been impossible were I still drinking," is sprawled on the sofa in the living room.
Knapp lights a Virginia Slims menthol—no way she's ready to tackle another addiction yet—and sips herbal tea. Her blond hair hangs to her waist, much as it did when she was a girl, and when one sees her sitting here, her knees curled to her chest and her arm curled around her knees, one can imagine her as the child she describes in her book who found solace rocking herself, obsessively, addictively, long before she ever found solace in wine.
"I still feel newly sober," she says. "Two years isn't that long. I still feel kind of raw. In some ways rawer than in the beginning. The first year you sail through on the novelty of it and the understanding that you're doing the right thing and moving in the right direction and all that. The second year and the beginning of this year have felt a little more real and a little more raw."
In her memoir, Knapp describes a childhood of privilege and intellect, in what her father used to call the "small world" at the top. Knapp never saw her parents fight and never heard them say "I love you." Her father, a professor at Boston University School of Medicine, was intense and...

SOURCE: "Hitting Bottom," in The New York Times Book Review, June 2, 1996, p. 34.
[Gordon is an American author and editor. In the excerpt below, she offers a negative assessment of Drinking: A Love Story.]
Caroline Knapp, a journalist from a well-to-do Massachusetts family,… believes that her alcoholism is partly inherited, but in Drinking: A Love Story she nonetheless settles the score with her now-deceased parents. Ms. Knapp, a magna cum laude graduate of Brown who uses frequent literary references, describes her household as "an Updike family, a Cheever clan." Her cold and remote father, a noted Cambridge psychoanalyst, had a long-running affair; her...

[Houghton is an American writer. In the mixed review of Drinking: A Love Story below, she praises Knapp's depiction of her own addiction but faults her portrayal of other alcoholics.]
A love story dances on water. The music moves us farther from shore, starts a twinkle in our eyes, and we are new again. Bottle that feeling and you could be King. It's the Holy Grail to an alcoholic. Caroline Knapp is the latest to throw her hat in the ring, dazzling us with her heady description of alcohol's allure and its devastating hold, a high that is near impossible to...

[In the excerpt below, Lehmann-Haupt states that Knapp's account of her alcoholism "is a remarkable exercise in self-discovery."]
In Drinking: A Love Story, an eloquent account of her own experience with alcohol, [Knapp] writes, "The knowledge that some people can have enough while you never can is the single most compelling piece of evidence for a drinker to suggest that alcoholism is, in fact, a disease, that it has powerful physiological roots, that the alcoholic's body simply responds differently to liquor than a nonalcoholic's."

[In the positive review below, Hubbard lauds Knapp's "heart-breaking honesty."]
Even as a child, Caroline Knapp liked the cocktail hour. The daughter of a stern, distant psychoanalyst and his self-contained painter-wife, she looked forward each evening to her father's first martini, when his reserve would dissolve "as though all the molecules in the room had risen up," she writes [in Drinking: A Love Story], and "rearrange themselves, settling down into a more comfortable pattern."
With a transformation like that, who wouldn't hit the...

SOURCE: A review of Drinking: A Love Story, in Salon (online publication), September 18, 1996.
[In the following mixed review, Marcus questions Knapp's focus and intention in Drinking: A Love Story.]
Caroline Knapp started drinking when she was 14, and spent almost 20 years as an alcoholic. Throughout the 1980s she maintained a good front, holding down a high-pressure job at the Boston Phoenix and keeping her addiction under wraps. Much of the time she managed to hide it even from herself: "You know and you don't know. You know and you won't know, and as long as the outsides of your life remain intact—your job and your professional persona—it's...

On July 1, 2011, the Alexandria Police Department formally began the Photo Safety Program to help reduce red-light violations and crashes throughout the City. Photo enforcement cameras will capture still images and video of red-light violators. Civil penalties will be imposed for all violation notices that are issued. The City allowed a 31-day warning period from July 1 to July 31. During this warning period, a warning notice was issued to the vehicle's registered owner for any violations but no civil penalty was assessed. As of August 1, 2011, a civil penalty will be imposed for every violation notice that is issued.
The photo-enforcement cameras are located at three intersections:
• South Patrick Street and Franklin Street
• South Patrick Street and Gibbon Street
• Duke Street and Walker Street
Cameras will operate 24 hours a day and will capture images and video of every vehicle disregarding the traffic signals at those intersections. Warning signs alerting drivers to the red-light cameras were installed prior to the warning period.
The Alexandria Police Department's program is administered by REDFLEX Traffic Systems (http://www.redflex.com). Each violation is reviewed and approved by a sworn law enforcement officer in the Alexandria Police Department prior to being issued.
The key to our Photo Safety Program's success is safety, education, prevention and public knowledge of the system's existence. The enforcement process is designed to assure all motorists using Alexandria streets that if you run a red light, your vehicle will be photographed and you will receive a civil penalty for the violation.
The following information is provided for your assistance:
To speak to an Alexandria Police Officer regarding a red light camera violation contact the Photo Safety Hotline at 703.746.1900 or by email @email@example.com.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why has Alexandria chosen to implement the Photo Safety Program?
A: Intersections with heavy traffic flow or congestion can be prone to crashes caused by motorists who disregard red traffic signals. Often, the design of these intersections makes it impossible to place a Police Department vehicle in a position to monitor the intersection without impeding the flow of traffic. In order to increase safety for everyone, the City has decided to use the Photo Safety Program to assist in the enforcement of traffic safety rules. This type of program has been proven to prevent and reduce personal injuries and property damage due to motorists disregarding red traffic signals. We have chosen to implement this program to make our streets safer for all who utilize them.
Q: Do red light running cameras really reduce crashes at intersections?
A: Red Light Photo Enforcement reduces crashes at monitored intersections by approximately 40%. The signage and technology tends to produce generalized changes in driver behavior, so violations and crashes decline throughout the area where cameras are used, not just at the specific intersections equipped with cameras. (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety; IIHS, 2002)
Q: Why doesn't the Police Department use existing personnel for this enforcement?
A: Over the past two years, Alexandria police officers have issued 1188 traffic summonses for red light violations in our City. These cameras act as a force multiplier for the Police Department. The cameras will contribute to public safety at their designated locations 24 hours a day and free police officers to address crime and other quality of life issues in the City.
Q: If ticketing drivers reduces crashes, why doesn't the Police Department enforce more red light running violations?
A: Cameras reduce the dangers of red light enforcement to officers and the public. It is often difficult to locate a safe parking site to monitor these locations. Officers trying to enforce red light violations may have to travel against heavy traffic, increasing the likelihood of a collision. The police department does not have enough officers to enforce every intersection 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. The camera has the ability to capture violations in the absence of officers.
Q: Do cameras photograph every vehicle passing through an intersection?
A: No. Cameras are set so that only those vehicles that enter the intersection after the traffic signal has turned red are photographed. Vehicles that enter the intersection in the yellow phase and are still in the intersection when the light turns red are not photographed. The camera system only takes pictures when a violation occurs.
Q: What kind of violation will be issued and what would the fine be?
A: Virginia State Code 15.2-968.1 mandates the violation as a driver responsibility. It is presumed that the owner of the vehicle was the driver at the time of the violation. Red light violations are handled similar to a parking violation. There is no insurance liability and no DMV implication or points associated with the driver or owner of the vehicle. By law, the civil fine cannot exceed $50.
Q: How will I know which intersections have red light cameras?
A: Legislation enacted by the 2007 General Assembly requires that localities place conspicuous signs within 500 feet of the intersection where a Photo Safety Program red light camera is installed. Localities are also required to conduct a public awareness program advising the public that a photo enforcement system is being implemented or expanded. The intersections where cameras are currently in use are listed below:
South Patrick and Gibbon Streets
South Patrick and Franklin Streets
Duke and Walker Streets
Q: What happens when a funeral procession or emergency vehicle continues through a red light at an intersection that is photo enforced?
A: Special circumstances such as a funeral processions will be rejected by officers. Emergency vehicle generated violations (Police, Fire, EMS) will be reviewed by officers in the interest of public safety. All violations are screened and reviewed individually by an Alexandria police officer before a determination is made that a violation of law has occurred .
Q: Who will determine what constitutes a violation?
A: All violations are reviewed and certified by a Sworn Alexandria Police Officer before they are issued.
Q: How is the timing interval determined between the red, yellow and green traffic lights at an intersection?
A: The City of Alexandria Department of Traffic Engineering & Environmental Services is responsible for determining the traffic light timing intervals. Intervals at signals is determined based on variables such as the posted speed limit, typical deceleration rates of vehicles, the grade of the road (uphill or downhill), the width of the intersection, and the amount of time it takes a driver to see the yellow signal and react (perception & reaction time).
Q: Isn't the main purpose of red light cameras to make money?
A: No. The objective of Alexandria's Photo Safety Program is to improve traffic, pedestrian and intersection safety. Signs and publicity campaigns required by the 2007 General Assembly warn motorists that photo enforcement cameras are in use.
Q: What constitutes a red light violation?
A: A red light violation occurs when a vehicle enters an intersection, crossing the white stop line, when the light is red, or when a right-turning car does not come to a complete stop before making a legal right turn on red where allowed.
Q: Does the system enforce right turns on red lights when the vehicle does not come to a complete stop?
A: Yes. Virginia law requires all vehicles to stop on a red light signal. Right turns on red are permitted unless otherwise posted, after coming to a full stop. The camera will capture right turn violations on vehicles that proceed without coming to a full stop. The sensors will detect violations in the right turn lanes being monitored and activate the photo enforcement system. Officers will review each captured offense and determine if the vehicle stopped and proceeded safely and in accordance with Virginia law.
Q: What happens if my vehicle is caught disregarding a red traffic signal?
A: The photo enforcement system captures the violation. The contracted company reviews and validates the violation and sends it to the Police Department. A sworn law enforcement officer reviews the evidence captured by the system and either confirms that a violation occurred or dismisses the violation due to circumstances that are either acquired by the monitoring system or observed in the video evidence. If the officer confirms the violation, he or she will then verify the vehicle owner's information for mailing of the notice of violation and $50 fine. The registered owner of the vehicle will receive the violation notice in the mail with instructions for viewing the violation.
Q: How do I review the violation and pay the fine?
A: The vehicle owner will be provided with a violation notice and three still photographs of the vehicle on the printed violation notice. The vehicle owner can review the red light violation via the internet at www.photonotice.com. The instructions for accessing this website are printed on the violation notice. Both video and still photo evidence is available for review. The owner/driver can arrange for an opportunity to meet with a Photo Safety Program Officer at 703-746-1900. By calling this number, the vehicle owner can make an appointment to review the evidence and discuss the red light running violation. After meeting with the Photo Safety officer, if the vehicle owner/driver does not agree with his/her finding, they can request a court date for the evidence to be heard in the Alexandria Civil Court. The court arrangements will be made by a Photo Safety Program officer.
Payment can be made by credit card via the REDFLEX internet site on the violation notice.
Q: Does the camera take a picture of the vehicle driver?
A: No. The images taken are: 1) Image of the car at the stop line when the traffic signal is red, 2) Image of the vehicle's rear license plate, and 3) Image of the vehicle proceeding through the intersection while the traffic signal is red.
Q: What will happen if I ignore the violation notice?
A: If the registered owner of the vehicle fails to respond to the Notice of Violation within 60 days, a second notice is issued by REDFLEX. If no response is received, REDFLEX will mail a Final Determination Notice to the violator. If payment is still not received, then legal steps (in accordance with VA State Code 15.2-968.1 and 19.2-76) will be taken to serve the registered owner of the vehicle with legal notice. Service by mail is valid, however, it does not create a collectable or enforceable judgment. Virginia law recognizes that people may have moved and not updated the information on their vehicle registration. Thus, before a judgment can be entered for the $50 penalty in the absence of the vehicle owner, the registered owner of the vehicle must be personally served with the summons. This will be done when the City files a civil lawsuit in the Alexandria general district court to enforce the civil penalty.
Q: Why did the City of Alexandria give drivers a 30-day warning period?
A: Disregarding a red traffic signal is a violation of the law at every signalized intersection in the City of Alexandria. The warning period only applies to the use of the automated enforcement camera system. The 30-day warning period is part of the public awareness process for implementing or expanding the automated enforcement program.
Q: What happens if an officer issues a summons to the driver of a vehicle and the red light camera also captures the vehicle during the red light running violation?
A: An officer's summons takes precedence over the camera violation citation. A Virginia Uniform Summons (VUS) will be issued and the Violation Notice will be dismissed. If you received both a VUS and a Violation Notice, please call the Photo Safety Program number at 703-746-1900 and speak with an officer.
Q: What happens when the camera captures an Alexandria City vehicle?
A: City owned vehicle violations are processed in the same manner as private citizen violations. A sworn police officer reviews each violation and either accepts or rejects it. Violation notices are mailed to the address listed on the vehicle's DMV registration.
Q: What happens when the camera captures a commercial motor vehicle or a vehicle that is owned by a company or state or local agency that has a fleet of vehicles?
A: The violation notice is mailed to the registered owner the same as any other vehicle.
Q: Are there phone numbers I can call to get more information about REDFLEX?
A: Yes. REDFLEX provides a toll free telephone number into their call center for citizen inquiries from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (CST). The number is 1.877.847.2338.

Clarkson's Saranac Lake locations may need zoning change for wood boilers
SARANAC LAKE – Clarkson University wants to install wood pellet boilers at the two Lake Flower Avenue buildings that house its Adirondack Semester programs as part of a state-funded demonstration project.
However, the installation of one of the devices could require an amendment to a 2005 village law that banned outdoor wood boilers. Whether or not that change is necessary hinges on an interpretation village Community Development Director and Code Enforcement Officer Jeremy Evans plans to deliver to the village Board of Trustees, possibly by early next week.
Prof. Phillip Hopke, director of Clarkson's Center for Air Resources Engineering and Science, outlined the project at a special village board meeting Tuesday.
Hopke said there's been a lot of interest in swapping out fuel oil burners for wood since petroleum prices spiked several years ago. He noted that several businesses and institutions around the region have acquired and installed wood pellet boilers in recent years, primarily with funding from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Clarkson put a 150-kilowatt boiler in the university's Walker Center in 2009. The Wild Center in Tupper Lake installed a 500-kilowatt model the following year. In 2011, the Saranac Lake Central School District installed a wood pellet boiler at the Petrova elementary and middle school.
Earlier this year, Hopke said the university received roughly $275,000 from NYSERDA to pilot a residential wood pellet boiler project. Clarkson is working with Troy Boiler Works to install a pair of residential-scale boilers in the two Lake Flower (Avenue) houses the university rents from Cherry Sayles.
Each building's system would include a boiler, a thermal storage unit and a wood pellet storage facility. At 245 Lake Flower Ave., the boiler and thermal storage facility would be put in the building's basement while a metal pellet storage silo would be located outside the house, Hopke said. Access to the basement at 237 Lake Flower Ave. is more difficult, Hopke explained, so the boiler and other equipment would have to be kept outside. The university has proposed putting the boiler system in a shipping container in the backyard, which Hopke said was a recommendation from the manufacturer. He also said it would be safer to keep the pellet storage outside the house, so there are no carbon monoxide issues.
Hopke said former village Code Enforcement Officer Tom Worthington initially told him that he didn't think putting the boiler in a shipping container would qualify as an outdoor wood boiler.
"When we talked to Tom back in June, we thought we had clear sailing," he said. "Now as we've been talking more recently, the question is, is this an outdoor wood boiler or isn't it? And if so, do we run into problems with chapter 294 of your village code? That's what we want to figure out."
Hopke said the boilers have already been constructed and he'd like to have them installed in the next few weeks. The next group of Clarkson students will be on the property in January, and the theme for the upcoming semester is "Biomass Energy in the Adirondacks," Hopke added.
Evans said the issue of whether a wood boiler in a shipping container is an outdoor wood boiler is a legitimate question, "but I'm kind of thinking now that it isn't." It will also have to be determined if it's an accessory structure that would have to meet certain setbacks or if it's part of the house because it's connected to the heating system, Evans said.
Mayor Clyde Rabideau asked Evans to look into what it would take to modify village law, if necessary, to allow the demonstration project to move forward. Asked by Rabideau how long it could take to change or amend the law, village Attorney Charles Noth said it could be a minimum of 45 days.
"It appears a lot will rest on the determination of our code enforcement officer and Community Development Director Jeremy Evans," Rabideau said.
Trustee Allie Pelleteri said it doesn't sound like what's proposed is a typical outdoor wood boiler. He asked if the boiler systems would be temporary or permanent. Hopke said they would be in place for at least a few years to collect the necessary data.
Trustee Paul Van Cott asked for more information on the emissions associated with the boilers, given that they would be located in a residential area.
Hopke said carbon monoxide emissions would be roughly the same or somewhat less than a comparable size oil boiler. Particulate emissions would be twice that of a same-size oil boiler, but Hopke noted that the new units would be smaller than the buildings' current boilers, which he said are oversized.
Evans said he might be able to have a report ready for the board at its meeting Monday night.
"I don't want to delay this," he said.

You can now click many times quickly; the calculation is interrupted immediately. You now have the option of more iterations, and this is saved with your discovery so that other people see what you see. There have been yet more speed improvements. Code changes were made that should make it behave better on low-memory machines running dodgy Java VMs. The locations of other people's nifty discoveries are now marked with an X. They are also outlined when you zoom in far enough, and labeled with a name and finally a title when you zoom in on them all the way. Compatible with Microsoft's Java VM.

Some of the best of Robsten. Video from robsten4everinlove
In case you missed our message...
It's with a heavy heart I let you know that as of the first of the year I will no longer be able to post the daily vids and pics. It has become harder to find the time to do it. I so much enjoy bringing these to you and I hope you understand that this is a choice I made because of family not because I no longer support Rob and Kristen. I will still be here supporting, just not as actively. My hope for 2014 is that love will prevail and haters be silenced. I wish you all well and I hope you enjoy these last posts.

Although the current storage technology of choice for tablets is NAND flash memory, the Singapore-based A*Star Data Storage Institute (DSI) believes that in the future the need for high-capacity local data storage will drive thin hybrid drives into tablets. To enable such devices, DSI has developed an axial field motor that is very thin and efficient.
Currently, the thinnest hard disk drive in the market for a 2.5" form-factor is about 7mm thick. In order to break into the media tablet market, the ideal thickness of a hard disk drive should be 5mm or less. Researchers at DSI aim to produce a 2.5" hard disk drive thin enough to fit into a tablet, taking the thickness of the current iPad2 (which is at 0.34" or 8.8 mm) as the benchmark target.
One of the main challenges faced in scaling down the thickness of a hard disk drive is the ability to scale the thickness of the current spindle motor while maintaining the motor performance such as the non-repeatable run-out (NRRO). DSI has designed an axial field motor (the current motor is based on a radial field design) that is 4mm thick, and can spin at 5400/7200 revolutions per minute (rpm). The axial field design eliminates cogging torque and unbalanced magnetic pull that in turn helps to reduce friction loss of the bearing, vibration and acoustic noise. This slim spindle motor will be utilized in DSI's thin drive with a 5mm thickness.
The DSI has also proposed a hybrid architecture in order to mitigate the issues of portability, reliability of data, and power consumption. Compared to flash or solid state drives (SSD), hybrid drives - which combine rotating media with NAND flash memory - can provide a larger storage capacity, and performances at a significantly lower cost; whilst compared to hard disk drives, hybrid drives can reduce power consumption by about 30%, according to DSI.
It is indisputable fact that hard disk drives and hybrid hard drives provide higher storage capacity than solid-state drives powered by NAND flash. The capacity will definitely be needed for tablets with Windows 8 operating system.
However, it remains to be seen whether specially-designed hard drives will actually be used inside mainstream media tablets. Since HDDs rely on rotating media, they are less reliable than flash-based storage in tablet usage conditions; for example, tablets are not used on firm surfaces like notebooks or desktops and are carried around all the time, which increases risks of damaging media surface with HDD's heads. Even despite of not really positive prospects within mainstream media tablets, DSI's 5mm HDDs may find a niche on the expanding tablet market that is projected to reach over 200 million units by 2014.
"DSI is very excited about the direction that we are taking. We strongly believe there is an opening in the market for thin drives. We are capitalising on our years of R&D experience in hard disk drive and data centre technologies and are working passionately to make the concept of thin hard disk drive into reality," said Pantelis Alexopoulos, executive director of DSI.
At present, DSI's 2.5" HDD that is 5mm thick is a concept. No large HDD maker has adopted it or disclosed plans to make such drives. Furthermore, the severe flooding in Thailand and consequent halting of hard drives and components manufacturing facilities will likely slowdown adoption of new technologies. At the end of the day, Toshiba has 1.8"/5mm thick hard drives in its portfolio and those drives have been qualified by large PC makers already.
