text: Millsap can be, and has been, a starter in this league. Unless you haven't noticed, we are starting Maxiell right now. Millsap is a definite upgrade over Maxiell and is younger. I don't think Smith is coming here at all. I just don't see it happening. Also, for the record, Prince has been playing very well lately. Like someone else said in another thread, he still plays well and has a reasonable contract. We are just bored of him as fans. I would like to see what evidence there is that Kaman is a good mentor. Just because a player is old and plays the same position as player X doesn't mean that he is able or willing to mentor that player. Plus, what exactly can Kaman teach Moose or Drummond? Throughout his career, Kaman has been an injury-prone, slightly above average center. I just don't understand why he's so valued by so many people in this forum, other than the fact that he's from Michigan.

F is force and m= mass, and a= acceleration. i.e., force is equal to mass * accleration
Deepak Soni replied | 1 day ago
F denotes force which is equal to mass x acceleration So f=m*a

Some of you might have noticed that SilverStripe's GD class has a couple of interesting looking functions, namely rotate($angle) and greyscale($Red, $Green, $Blue). However it was never quite clear how to use these functions (at least not to me anyway!). So after a bit of trial and error, it turns out it's pretty simple to achieve by decorating the image class and adding a couple of simple functions...Continue reading...

Emanuel Shuts Down Wake Forest
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Junior left-hander Kent Emanuel opened ACC play in impressive fashion Friday night in Winston-Salem, N.C. as he recorded his second shutout of the season in a 4-0 win.
Emanuel struck out seven over his nine innings of work en route to claiming his 20th career win in UNC's ACC opener.
The junior worked his way out of trouble in the very first inning as the Demon Deacons put runners on the corners with one out but Emanuel forced a double-play ball to escape danger.
The Tar Heels then provided their ace some run support in the next half inning.
A leadoff walk by Skye Bolt opened the inning before Cody Stubbs rifled a ball into the right field corner for a double. A strikeout looking and a walk would load the bases for Mike Zolk who laced a single past the second baseman and into right field to put UNC up 1-0.
The Tar Heels would strand the bases loaded in the inning but freshman Skye Bolt would tack on another run in the third inning.
Bolt hit a fly ball to deep right field that carried just enough to clear the right field fence for his first career home run.
The two-run output would be all the Tar Heels would need with Emanuel on the mound.
Emanuel would surrender a walk in the second and third innings before tossing a 1-2-3 fourth inning. A Demon Deacon runner would not reach second base after the first inning until the ninth as Emanuel kept the Wake Forest offense in check.
Carolina would strike for a pair of unearned runs in the sixth when Stubbs came around to score on an errant throw by the shortstop and Matt Roberts tripled in another run to provide the 4-0 advantage.
Emanuel would set down nine of the next 10 batters he faced in the sixth through eighth innings and entered the ninth with a comfortable 4-0 lead.
The Demon Deacons would not go quietly in their final at bat as they opened the frame with back-to-back singles before Emanuel forced a ground ball to first.
A pair of strikeouts capped off the second shutout of the season for Emanuel and the third of his illustrious career.
Carolina and Wake Forest will continue the three-game series on Saturday at 4 p.m. as sophomore Benton Moss will take the mound for UNC.

Sustainability isn't one of the specific categories recognized by the AIA in its Honor Awards program. It might as well be. Sustainable design is a theme that threads through all of the individual award categories, from interior architecture to regional design. Even the 25-Year Award acknowledges the role of sustainability in design, despite the fact that sustainability was hardly the industry buzz-word that it is today. That award, which the AIA gave to the Menil Collection by Renzo Piano, Hon. FAIA, recognizes the impact that the building has had on museum design everywhere. Yet if that building helped to spark Piano's career, it also gave a serious boost to sustainable design, since Piano has worked at a highly visible level to promote the role of sustainability in design and the obligation of architects to design sustainably. Piano explained as much in an interview from early 2009.
Perhaps it's possible to read the lack of a sustainable design category for the Honor Awards a different way. Because sustainable design is the architectural obligation that Piano describes, then it's a given that sustainability will be a feature of prominent projects—or it should be a given, for architects and clients alike. Arguably, all of the Honor Award designs feature some green features. Nevertheless, sustainability helped some projects win out in their Honor Award categories more than others. So here is a list of the top projects in part because they emphasized sustainability.
The best in sustainability, 2013 Honor Awards: Architecture
Art Stable , by Olson Kundig Architects (Seattle): The large steel-clad doors that open into the seven-story mixed-use project can be operated using a custom hand wheel and hinge—a system that also makes it possible to life large objects from the alley into each of the building's five units. The building also features a unique system of geothermal loops, the first of its kind in the U.S.
The Barnes Foundation , by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects (Philadelphia): To enable the relocation of the Barnes from its historic home in Merion, Penn., to downtown Philadelphia, the firm replicated the proportion and configuration of the original galleries in a larger facility that also features a garden and new classroom space.
Centra Metropark , by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) (Iselin, N.J.): The firm added 10,000 square feet to the top floor to a dated, suburban structure, making for a contemporary office environment through the use of a high-performance enclosure. This project won a 2011 Annual Design Review award.
Lee Hall College of Architecture addition at Clemson University, by Thomas Phifer and Partners (Clemson, S.C.): The 55,000-square-foot addition accommodates 12 different degree programs by introducing creative interdisciplinary exchanges throughout the exceedingly energy-efficient building.
Mason Lane Farm Operations Facility , by De Leon & Primmer Architecture Workshop (Goshen, Ky.): The design by De Leon & Primmer for this farm complex takes several buildings and farm operations and consolidates them in one. The firm used locally grown bamboo to make a resilient building skin for a structure otherwise made with a conventional kit-of-parts approach.
Morse and Ezra Stiles Colleges , renovation, by KieranTimberlake (New Haven, Conn.): The renovation of the Yale University residential colleges designed by Eero Saarinen provides 25,000 square feet of new student activity space below grade and transforms outdoor hardscapes into a sustainable landscape.
Vancouver Convention Center West , by LMN Architects + MCM/DA, (Vancouver, Canada): This LEED Canada Platinum–certified project unifies Vancouver's urban core with its harbor by highlighting natural landforms through interior architecture, urban design, and civic spaces that blend with the natural ecosystem.
The best in sustainability, 2013 Honor Awards: Regional/Urban Design
Burnham Place at Union Station Master Plan , by Shalom Baranes Associates and HOK (Washington, D.C.): A 3 million-square-foot addition to Washington's historic Union Station connects Daniel Burnham's landmark structure with its surrounding neighborhood via bike lanes and public amenities beneath a rippling green roof.
Coal Harbour Convention District , LMN Architects and MCM/DA (Vancouver, Canada): Capitalizing on local marine ecosystems, the Coal Harbor Convention District creates a layered atmosphere capable of hosting civic events in public gathering spaces with built and natural site improvements beside the convention center.
The Great Lakes Century – A 100-Year Vision , Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (Great Lakes Region, United States): SOM's framework for establishing a century-long plan for the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River Basin aggregates research from more than 35 organizations and looks ahead for opportunities to preserve the environment.
Nanhu New Country Village Master Plan , Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (Nanhu District, Jiaxing, China): In looking ahead at the Nanhu Village's transition from rural to urban, SOM aims to maintain a focus on farming and wetlands improvement while developing into a modern, sustainable community.
Parkmerced Vision Plan , Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (San Francisco): Ensuring stability for existing residents of Parkmerced is just one component of a neighborhood revitalization plan that will encourage pedestrian activity and public transportation while reducing energy and water consumption within the district.
The best in sustainability, 2013 Honor Awards: Interior Architecture
Charles Smith Wines Tasting Room and World Headquarters , by Olson Kundig Architects (Walla Walla, Wash.): Olson Kundig took a 1917 Johnson Auto Electric building and outfitted it with a tasting room, offices, and retail store, including flexible spaces, such as a large unit that the firm calls the "armadillo."
Lamar Advertising Corporate Headquarters , by Eskew+Dumez+Ripple (Baton Rouge, La.): The firm turned an unremarkable 1970s data center into a new corporate headquarters featuring an interior, outdoor "garden room" to compensate for the windowless floor plate.
McAllen Main Library , by Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle (MS&R) (McAllen, Texas): The city decided to convert an abandoned big box Walmart store into a new central library. Featuring 125,000 square feet on one level, the building features spaces distinguished by materials, forms, and colors.
The Todd Bolender Center for Dance and Creativity , by BNIM (Kansas City, Mo.): BNIM relocated the Kansas City Ballet into the 52,000-square-foot former Power House coal-burning plant at Kansas City's Union Station. The building, which was completed in 1914 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, sat abandoned from the 1970s until 2006.

|Focus ST EcoBoost Performance (2013-Current) The place to chat about the 2.0L EcoBoost engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|greg hazlett
|And please don't confuse Superchips with SCT either.
|It needs to be brought up that this is Superchips UK which is not the same as Superchips in the US. Because they are different companies, Superchips in the US does not yet support the ST.
|Great info, link is broken though
Superchips raises the pace of the mk3 ford focus st
The latest version of the Ford Focus ST has won plenty of fans worldwide with its sharp dynamics and 246bhp, 2.0-litre, direct injection turbocharged Ecoboost engine. But as with any hot hatchback, there are always owners who want more performance than the factory can offer.
Which is where leading performance ECU remap specialist Superchips Ltd excels, having enjoyed a long history of enhancing the power of turbocharged Fords since the original Series 1 Escort RS Turbo, back in 1986. And its latest product a Superchips ECU remap for the newest, 154mph Mk3 Focus ST 2.0T is set to right a new chapter of success with upgrading Ford products for the enthusiast market.
Thanks to an extensive combination of chassis dyno and road testing, Superchips technicians have developed a performance remap for the 2.0-litre turbocharged Focus STs ECU, which optimises boost levels, fuelling and ignition timing on the 246bhp direct injection Ecoboost engine. The end result is a Superchips conversion that increases power output, improves response and enhances refinement whilst retaining factory failsafe protocols and reliability levels.
In-house dyno testing has proven that the Superchips ECU remap for the Focus ST produces an impressive additional 51bhp at 4046rpm, with a peak power gain of 31bhp at 5655rpm, emphasising the progressive nature of the additional performance.
But peak power is only part of the story, because the Superchips ECU remap realises noticeable increases in torque output from 2000 to 5000rpm, culminating in an remarkable gain of 93Nm at just 3954rpm (with a peak torque increase of 69Nm at 3770rpm) highlighting the user-friendly nature of the conversion.
Modifications to the STs drive by wire throttle settings enable Superchips to enhance pedal response, which in combination with the added torque on tap, makes the Focus feel considerably livelier to drive.
And its behind the wheel that owners will notice the real benefits of the Superchips upgrade. The Focus ST instantly becomes keener, more willing and more rewarding to drive, delivering electrifying performance, with ample power for overtaking, fast road, trackday or everyday enjoyment. Despite the elevated power levels if the Superchips enhanced Ford is driven in a like for like manner then standard fuel economy levels will be retained.
And this extra performance is available to Focus ST drivers on Superchips market leading Bluefin programming handset. No mechanical or technical skills are required, because Bluefin allows for quick and easy DIY uploading of the Superchips ECU remap onto the Focus in a matter of minutes. As part of this process, the Superchips Bluefin handset also stores the cars original ECU map, enabling the owner to reload the standard map at any time. Alternatively, customers can visit one of approximately 80 Superchips performance centres, where trained technicians can undertake the ECU remap installation procedure.
On sale now, the Superchips ECU remap suits both five door hatchback and estate variants of the May 2012 onwards 246bhp Focus ST 2.0-T, priced at £455.00 inclusive of VAT and installation (if required.)
The Superchips ECU remap for the previous version of the Focus ST remains one of our top selling products, says Superchips MD Ian Sandford, so were delighted that the latest variant of the car produces such strong results and is also Bluefin compatible as we anticipate strong demand from Ford owners.
Customers can be assured the Superchips Focus ST 2.0T ECU remap is covered by a full Customer Service Guarantee and an industry-leading 12 month / 30,000 supplementary vehicle warranty.*

2011 was the sixth straight year that SCCs declined in DHIA herds
by Hoard's Dairyman staff
Did your herd's average somatic cell count drop a little in 2011? Chances are it did, according to USDA and the National Dairy Herd Improvement Association.
The annual report by the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory shows that average SCC by herds on official DHIA test last year was 217,000. That was 4.8 percent less than in 2010, it was the sixth consecutive year of decline in a row, and it was the ninth in 10 years. It's a trend the benefits both milk producers and consumers alike.
In the limited period for which data is available, average SCCs peaked at 322,000 in 2001. That means the 2011 figure was nearly one-third lower than just a decade ago.
Keep in mind, however, that the report may not accurately reflect the quality of all milk produced in the U.S. during any of the years that it summarizes. In 2011, official DHIA test data came from just 28 percent of the nation's herds (14,400) and just 41 percent of the cows (3.78 million.)
The states with the lowest SCC averages by DHIA herds were Rhode Island (158,000), Oregon (169,000), New Mexico (171,000), Arizona and Washington (172,000), Michigan (173,000), Vermont (176,000), and Idaho (179,000).
Rather than being due to just one thing, the strong positive trend in milk quality is more likely the result of many factors. Last year those included high beef prices that encouraged problem cows to be culled rather than treated; improved economic conditions that allowed producers to do more equipment maintenance than in recent years; growing management understanding about the importance of cow comfort and cleanliness: and increasing emphasis on low SCCs by cooperatives that sell dairy products internationally.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:04am
It's always fun to dip into the deep roster of analytical minds we rely on here at Inside Lacrosse. Sometimes collaboration breeds the best results, but other times a little competition goes further. After writing my "MLL Rooke Report" all season, I brought in our MLL analyst Kyle Devitte to give his take on the Class of 2012. But I didn't want consensus or discussion, I wanted debate. So Devitte and I each picked our corners and started claiming rookies in an effort to build the 2012 All Rookie Teams — Team Devitte vs. Team Babo.
Editors Note: All stats referenced are through Aug. 4, the second to last week of the season.
Ok, so for the readers Zach has been writing a rookie column all season to keep track of the new guys in the league and their impact on various MLL teams.
I have been writing my column of debased insanity all season as well, and we thought it would be a good idea to join forces and try to put a pin in the 2012 rookie class of the MLL.
With that in mind we figured we make dueling All Rookie Teams. So quick ground rules: by "rookie" we mean a player who exhausted his NCAA eligibility in 2012, guys who just came off the college season and jumped into the pro game.
So unfortunately no Kevin Kaminski — who was big for Charlotte this year, and no Michael Skudin, who has played in a ton of games for the Long Island Lizards.
In the spirit of interest...yes, interest, we are making or picks based 50% on this year's performance and 50% on the player's potential to have further success in the MLL, be it next year or a little farther in the future.
For all the complaints about how thin the Class of 2012 was, more rookies got in the mix than many of us might have expected, and for the second year in a row, a near afterthought may have had the most impressive season of all.
So with that pretty obvious hint, let's start making our picks, and what better place to start than at the attack.
After you good sir. I respect your neck beard too much to go first.
I guess I should stick to my guns here, and while I have trouble predicted how sustainable his success may be, it's hard not to go with Matt Gibson (Yale) as my first pick out of Long Island. In 11 games with the Lizards he's put up 16G, 14A, more points than any other rookie. Add to that the fact that after about his first game Gibson has been consistently marked by opponents' top defenders, and he still produces, though at a bit slower rate these past few games. That shows me this kid is pretty legit. I was in Princeton when the Ivy Tourney became "the Matt Gibson Show," and he had similar luck when he got to Long Island, helping them win five-straight and rocket back into the playoff mix after a pretty dismal start.
Wow, I would have bet my left pinkie toe you were going to take Stanwick OR my pick Mark Matthews (Denver). Matthews disappeared from a few games this year (Rochester and Long Island come to mind, back-to-back zeroes) but his two six-point efforts against Chesapeake (his debut) and Charlotte can't be ignored. He's big, he's got swagger, and he's on a great team in Denver. If Matthews can find a way to get more involved with the offense with limited touches he can be the crown jewel of this entire class. Blame Canada.
Credit where credit is due I guess - I wanted my first pick to reflect this season, not the future. But this second pick I'll wear my Ms. Cleo hat and take Steele Stanwick (Virginia). Ohio Machine, if you are listening, THIS IS THE GUY YOU BUILD AROUND. Stanwick somehow kicked out 17 dishes while running on an attack line with two other guys who don't feel like finishing anything but their own shots. The kid just makes everyone around him a threat, and once Ohio actually surrounds him with real threats, he should start putting up the gawdy numbers we saw in college. Watching Stanwick come into the league, you could start to see he really liked the quick restarts and freedom to take chances. He is Walter White. Give him the supplies to be Heisenberg.
If only Ohio knew how to draft or acquire offensive midfielders...D-Mid City! Two-way mids rule! Yay defense! Child please. Stanwick is nasty, but woud be nastier on a team that actually valued scoring. I'll take Tommy Palasek (Syracuse), the lone gunman of the Lizards attack. Palasek creates for himself with a quick first step and an advantageous match-up against the third defenseman. Teams have put their worst guy on him - even short sticked him - this season, and he has made them pay by scoring in every single game he played in. Name another rookie that managed to do that. 21 goals, 5 assists - passing is overrated.
Palasek surprised the hell out of me this year. After playing so timid throughout his career at Hopkins and Syracuse, the man is damn near suicidal in the pros — go figure.
Since I drafted the subject, I might as well take the predicate of the UVA offense as well, as a line including Stanwick and Chris Bocklet (Virginia) is just too tempting. Maybe Ohio can trade away a few D-middies for him as Bocklet's knack for finding seams and finishing shots is eclipsed by his current Denver teammate Jordan McBride. Stanwick could sure use a finisher like Bocklet, who buried 14 goals in just six games in Denver. The thought of Bocklet and Stanwick connecting in the quick-strike offenses of the MLL could be an awful lot of fun.
Ah, yes I had forgotten your ties to the frigid North. Wait, that's where I live. Anyway, from my circle shaped door here in the 'Shire the last pick for me has to be one guy. One of the best players in college lacrosse last season - Rob Pannell! Just kidding. I wouldn't do that to you. I'm taking Joe Cummings (Maryland). Cummings got a late start in the MLL, but he showed the ability to create his shot, draw a slide and make the right decision. Cummings played in just three games, but put up six goals and an assists for seven points. Not bad for a guy who took some time off to recover from a gruelling season for the Terps. Cummings may not be the best athlete on the field, but he's the toughest and that goes a long long way. He could make it rain on the right team, he just needs the right storm clouds around him to affect the change. I went for flash and goalscoring, you went for production and prospect in that exchange. Let's see what we can do with the midfield now...
Nice pick with Cummings, I was torn taking hims as a middie or an attackman since he played both at Maryland and can do both in Ohio. Somehow I discredited versatility.
I will not do that with my first midfield pick, taking the man I've been calling Mr. Consistency for Denver all year, Drew Snider (Maryland). Snider averaged better than a goal and four groundballs a game, running wings and playing between the lines. You can't ask for much more from a D-middie. But Snider shows he can be more than that, showcasing a very savvy offensive game, and a general tendency to make good decisions with the ball. Everyone praises Matt Abbott as being the best D-middie because of his athleticism and versatility, but to me what is always impressive about Abbott is he never seems to make a poor decision (and he's fast, athletic, a vacuum, etc.) I'm not saying Snider is there yet, but he has proven his value to Denver, which is that much more impressive when you look at some of the names on that Outlaw roster.
Ah, see I don't regard snider as a D middie - but the comparison to Abbott is right on. He's a hybrid transition guy, someone with serious physical gifts or speed and strength that can make a difference in between the two-point lines. I'm going to cheat a little and take CJ Costabile (Duke). Costabile logged very few minutes down low for the Lizards, and even played a couple of games with just a short stick on the wing. Costabile is the ultimate LSMfor the MLL. Always playing with his head up, always looking for that opening to the cage. He's the new breed of LSM that thrives in the MLL. Can't risk him slipping.
Ah, Devitte how are you not an MLL GM with savvy picks like that. I figured I'd wait and draft my LSM's as D-men later on (since we don't have many close guys) but you can't argue taking talent when talent's there.
I think I'll stay on the Island for my next pick and go with Will Mangan (Rutgers). Not too many middies really won me over this year, but Mangan's a big boy who played with a little edge after getting picked on waivers. He put up 11 points in six games, including a few big stat outings, and his intangibles (HE'S A LEFTY) make him a little more valuable.
Yes! First use of intangibles! Love it. I really thought Mangan would slip, but that's a great pick. He's a beastly mid with great dodging ability. So I'll take a similar type of player ALSO chock full of intangibles — Roy Lang (Cornell). The OT game winner against Boston was obviously his highest point, and 11 goals are nothing to pick you nose at, but his 25 ground balls and the ability to run the break, play the wing AND contribute in the six-on-six is a winner.
Damn, after taking the calm decision making of Drew Snider I wanted to foil it with the end-to-end playmaking recklessness of Roy Lang.
My last middie is tough. I liked Matt Mackrides in Chesapeake, but a small guy like that might not take the beating this league dishes out. Since Hamilton had such an abysmal year, I'll give them credit for the one speck of light in Joe Resetarits (Albany), a guy who hopefully leads the way amongst some indoor/outdoor hybrids. Assuming he doesn't just hide up in Canada or the NLL, Resetarits could be a tricky guy to figure out as he knows how to score on the 6x6 and the 4x4.
BOOO! Resetarits is an attackman! BOOO! Fine. I pulled hte Costabile move, turnabout is fair play. This pick with surprise a lot of people as it leaves Justin Turri and Rob Rotanz on the board, but I'm taking Kiel Matisz (Robert Morris). Is it because I hate Duke guys? No. It's because Matisz is an absolute beast on and off the ball. He's a complete midfeilder capable of playing any position. I loved him at the draft; I maintain my passion for his game. His versatility is his biggest asset, but it's not like he's a jack of all trades master of none guy - he's a hustler, a battler. He can get the ground ball, get to the cage and make the better pass. So underrated, so superbly positioned to make an impact if Ohio ever gets rid of their less talented midfielders.
Defense is up next, and since Mr. Babo had the first pick of the attack and the mids I'll take #1 D and #1 G.
It's only fair, and I must say, I was flipping a coin between Matisz and Resetarits, and figured I'd go with the difficult last name I can pronounce slightly better.
I can't say his name either.
Rochester picked Mike Manley (Duke) with the No. 3 pick this year, and frankly I still think it was too high. But, Manley got through his first few games in the league and managed to find his role on the team - big hitting defender. Not that he wasn't that before, but in the MLL his ability to fill that role was certainly not carved in stone. Manley has gotten better in each game and is now the leader of this rough and tumble defense. Who says I hate Duke guys? Manley goes #1 for me.
Yeah, Manley would have been my first choice too. The man has six penalty minutes. That's a great stat in this league where you are either a great, fleet-of-foot cover guy (i.e. Kyle Sweeney), or a bully/hitman (i.e. Nicky Polanco).
After seeing him figure out a veteran like John Grant Jr. over the course of a game in Chesapeake, Matt Lovejoy (Virginia) earned a spot on my D. He's nasty enough to let people know he's there, and good enough to actually cover.I don't know if he is a No. 1 defender in the league, but we don't have many rookies to chose from, and Lovejoy did better than I expected his first time through, so hopefully he keeps getting better.
Wow, that's a great pick. Lovejoy is underrated, but he will not be a No. 1 D-man in the MLL. He was mismatched a lot by covering the best guys on switches and was victimized a few times. He will replace Sol Bliss next year and be that solid No. 3 guy on D for the Nats. If there are the Nats? Either way, if you're going to take Lovejoy I am very tempted to take Chad Wiedmaier. But I won't. Wiedmaier's knee scares me, but Tim Henderson (Army) scares me more. Henderson quietly killed almost every appearance he made this season playing LSM and shfting low for the Long Island Lizards. Does the military obliagtion give me pause? Of course it does, but the juice is worth the squeeze for a guy who gobbles GB's (26gb in 10 games) and makes his FOGO (or YOFO - you only face off - shoutout to Jerry Ragonese for the term) that much better.
Well, this will be boring, as those two were my next two picks, and with one gone, I guess I'll take the other. Chad Wiedmaier (Princeton) was always a tough call for me in college. I saw him shut down guys like Rob Pannell often enough to know he's legit, but I also saw him get toasted more times than I think people want to admit. Still, it's the MLL, guys are going to score on you sometimes. What matters is you win more battles than you lose, and you step up in crunch time. I've seen Wiedmaier do that enough to know he doesn't back down from big moments. With the quantity of quality attackmen in the league, Wiedmaier will get battle-tested, that's for sure, and I'll trust a Princeton guy can pass most of his tests.
Looks like we're about out of close guys, so much like the Lizards, Team Devitte might be an LSM-heavy defense.
Who else is there besides Will Koshansky (Penn)? He of "sock gate," ejected for wearing Under Armour socks early in the season. Coach Soudan didn't hold it against him though, and Koshansky has logged time (though sometimes very little) in 12 games. Getting on the GDR (game day roster) that many times as a rookie is no small feat. Koshansky may not be taking the ball every other time he guards a midfielder like he did in college, but he's more than a warm body out there, and he has the trust of his coach. Bring it on home, ZB. Three more picks in this whole shebang (If we didn't mention it before, 3A, 3M, 3D and 1G for each team, lots of wiggle in between. There is no bench here.)
Yeah, with Costabile picked as a middie straight up, we have pretty much named everyone....except for a guy Regy Thorpe nearly forget he had on his roster too, Dana Wilber (Drexel). Obviously there is a certain amount of default in this one, as he is about the only man with a six-foot pole left in this rookie class, but Wilber extended and harassed at Drexel, and he was a better defender and between the lines threat than he got credit for. The fact that he earns any time at all on a team that has Brodie Merrill on it has to say something, and the thought of any LSM being able to just learn anything at all from Merrill, even if it's the right way to hold a Gatorade cup, I'll take the odds he'll get pretty damn good at holding that cup.
And yes, I realized I just drafted an entire defense of a 3-10 team, and worse yet, A CANADIAN TEAM. I'll now hope the only time these hypothetical squads match up is in some kind of barn-burner, 30-second shot clock style game.
I tried to bait you into taking Celentani, but it didn't take. But hey that pick at least surprised me. I'm going to take it home with the easiest pick of the draft at the goalie spot. Big Poppa Pump: Mark Manos (Drexel). Every time I have seen Manos play I have said the same thing. "Dude. He is gigantic". He's a big big boy, but he does more than fill up the net. There was a time where Charlotte had a three-way battle for their No. 1 keeper spot (even though Ghitelman ran away with it like the hottest bridesmaid at your sister's wedding as the season progressed) and Manos was in the conversation. He got shellacked in his first game, and his GAA was like 26 for a few games, but he came around and managed to salvage his numbers enough to make 2011 MLL All Star Joe Marra expendable in Charlotte. Someone drop the mic and walk out of the room for me. Uh...Please?
I guess I take the default pick here, Charlie Cipriano (Fairfield). I think Jesse Schwartzman would need to lose a limb, and an important one at that, to not get the start in Denver, but kind of like the nod to Koshansky, the fact that Cipriano even made a roster while so many of his young goalie compatriots did not deserves a little respect. Much like my idea with Wilber learning from Merrill, if Cipriano can figure out a way to be as intense as Schwartzman is in game, while listening to that much Phish away from the field, it could be valuable.
Any closing thoughts?
I mean it was fun. This is a stronger class than I thought it was, but there are very few immediate superstars. I think if anything this excerise has hopefully showcased a few rookies that may have passed under the radar for casual fans. I hope next year the pool is deeper and certain teams (BOSTON, CHESAPEAKE) actually try to bring in some new faces.
Yeah, I have to assume teams like Boston and Chesapeake will have to go through a changing of the guard like Denver did this year, shedding some vets and bringing in some younger faces, but those three teams are really the class of the league already, so change will likely come begrudgingly.
It's funny that this was a draft with few superstars, and again it was late picks and unsung guys that made the biggest impacts. I'm not sure if it's because they tend to get to the pro roster earlier as those players come from middle of the pack NCAA teams that don't go as deep into the postseason, or because they are often asked to do so little, and then they exceed expectations anyway.
Either way it was another interesting year to watch the youngin's grow. With two teams that relied more on rookies than they originally thought they might being in the potential mix (Denver and Long Island), it would be pretty interesting if a rookie decides a championship fate after everyone slept on this class.

The North Carolina baseball team kicked off the 2013 season this past Saturday night with the fifth annual First Pitch Dinner. More than 450 people were in attendance at the Loudermilk Center for Excellence to hear from three of Carolina's MLB players.
The evening started with an MVP reception on the fifth floor of the Loudermilk Center where fans had a chance to meet with the several Major League players in attendance as well as get autographs.
The action moved down to the third floor later in the night as fans had a chance to meet the 2013 Diamond Heels and get autographs from the next batch of Tar Heels. Following a dinner, Jones Angell and Adam Lucas began the program with Cody Stubbs and Chaz Frank introducing the team support staff and players before Chris Munnelly made his senior remarks.
The MLB trio of Matt Harvey, Luke Putkonen and Adam Greenberg recapped their major league debuts for the audience. Fans also got a chance to hear about each player's time in Chapel Hill and what it took them to reach the pinnacle of the baseball world.
The night finished with a live auction which saw several rare Tar Heel memorabilia draw plenty of interest from those in attendance.
The 2013 season on the diamond gets underway Feb. 15 when the Tar Heels welcome in Seton Hall for a three-game series that begins at 3 p.m.

Do I Break It Off BeforeThe Holidays?
Dear Lennie,
I feel like a broken woman. I used to be so strong and held court in my relationships. But, things aren't going well in my current relationship. We fight all the time and I am miserable. The holidays are coming up and it just doesn't feel like the right time to break up. I hate being alone on the holidays and I'm too exhausted to deal with all the drama. What should I do?
Dear Broken, There is no good time to break up. After Thanksgiving comes Christmas, then New Year's Eve, then Valentine's Day... it never ends. There will always be a reason to stay in the relationship. However, those are artificial reasons. I hate to hear that you feel like a broken woman. That alone should tell you that you need to change things sooner than later. While is sucks to be single over the holidays, it is better than being in a destructive, exhausting relationship. Why not break up, spend some time alone, with friends or with your family. The one thing about the holidays is there is plenty going on and plenty of people to drag you out of a funk and offer their support.

A school in Thailand, the Mathayom Thanbin Kamphaeng Salen school, now requires parents to pass a written test before the institution would consider admitting their child. Potential students receive a child-raising manual which they take home in order to educate their parents concerning what constitutes being a good parent. According to Nannapas Kamchan, a 14-year old student, "I wasn't worried that my parents would fail. The test isn't hard. They only needed to seriously study the materials." Children are allowed to assist their parents when they take the test which requires at least a 70% grade for passing. Parents are also required to attend a training session every session where they are expected to brush up on parenting techniques. The school has also increased Buddhism classes where students work on merit-making, meditation and social services.
One can only wonder if such an effort should be required of potential presidential candidates in the United States. What if they had to pass an examination which tested their knowledge of American and world history? Which of the current candidates would score highest? Which lowest?

I think DDandCD are thinking of living aboard from day one. In which case starting smaller than 30 feet is not really an option. 35 is a reallistic minimum and 44 about maximum. Two people can camp out for a night or two in a smaller boat but few manage to liveaboard. Lynn and Larry Pardy being the obvious exceptions to this.
Perhaps a Hans Christian 43 will do nicely - there is a 85 Telstar version with a cutter rig at 99k with, bring offers, motivated seller, attached. Teak decks as usual would need a close inspection.
One of the most important things to consider is how your wife will respond to sailing. Some spouses love it, some can be terrified by the boat heeling etc. so if you make a huge investment on a blue water boat and it turns out she doesn't like the life style that can be a big problem.
I agree with Tager, get a small, simple exciting one design like a Laser first. This way you can both explore sailing, get your sailing chops down on a fun, fast, super simple boat that you can trailer and have limited financial exposure.
That's what we did, she loved sailing (Yes!) and then we moved up to the Catalina 25 the next year. (We still have the Escape Captiva for beach runs) Still not a blue water boat but it's a nice pocket cruiser that's very capable to do some over night anchors etc. A boat like this is not too expensive or too much to handle and helps you get a better idea of the skill level, work and maintenance involved with sailing a keel boat. The good news is that if you take care of the boat and put some money in it you won't take a loss when it's time to upgrade and get that big blue water boat.
The reason I selected the Catalina was that she's stable, easy to sail, has a lot of room down below for a small boat and is fairly simple to maintain. As for age, mine is a 1979 and was super well maintained. Even though I did a ton of sailing as a kid/teenager I had about 25 years of non sailing and I think anything bigger would have been a bit intimidating to get back into things.
Good luck!
As per usual, this site is offering you some great advice. Jeff H pretty well nailed it.
I'm thinking about learning curves. Competence under sail comes with determination and experience. It's a fun learning curve, but not to be underestimated. Being able to handle a cruiser safely under a variety of conditions is learning curve 1 that you'll have to deal with. No shortcuts.
Learning curve 2:
Boat ownership and upkeep is another learning curve altogether. Maintaining current systems takes time to master (I'll let you know when I master it). Evaluating where upgrades and mods are required, and effectively implementing is another. Knowing what needs attention is part of this learning curve. My first cruiser was a 1972 26 footer. I made a few mistakes with that boat. Not catastrophic, and all fixable, but stuff I just laugh at now. And that's despite carefully considering each upgrade or fix I attempted.
There's no getting away from learning curve 1. But learning curve 2 can at least be minimized to some extent. The teak decks are one example already given. I look at a teak deck, and all I see is hundreds of holes in the deck waiting to leak someday. Brightwork is a thing to behold...on someone else's boat! But that's just me. I'm a woodworker, but I get no thrill from applying 7 coats of varnish. Even without brightwork on my boat, there's plenty of waxing to do, valves to adjust, fuel filters to change, oil to change, cables to lube, shafts to align, anchor windlasses to lube, rigging to maintain...whew. I'm a coastal sailor, so I can't point you to the bluewater boat that minimizes maintenance, but it's doable.
Those who have suggested that your first boat will not be your last (or even be your boat in two years) are so right. It's just unavoidable. Inconvenient, but unavoidable. Not that one couldn't strive to get right the first time. If you do... write a book.
|In Don Casey's This Old Boat, he points out that many people buy two boats in their lifetime... the first boat is what they think they want, and the second boat is what they really want/need, and the lessons they learned from owning the first boat went into driving their selection of the second one...and that is often the boat that they own for decades....
|I think a boat the requires a huge amount of maintenance is more appropriate if you are actually leaving than if it is going to sit at the dock too. If you're actively cruising on it you're going to maintain it better, because, well ... what else do you have to do ?

The first and third thoughts go together and the second
is contrary.
You should not expect your first boat to be your last,
and it does not need to be what some would classify as
Blue Water capable. Just about any modern fiberglass
production boat is capable of a circumnavigation if well
prepared and sailed intelligently.
It is a more sensible approach to have your first boat
be a stepping stone to your ultimate goal.
Gain experience on a boat with simpler systems,
that sails well, is responsive, and that you can
easily afford.
Many of the boats that are touted as Blue Water cruisers
are expensive, filled with elaborate systems, and are built
to archaic design philosophies.
They are often relatively poor performers under sail and
difficult to handle in close quarters maneuvering.
|Thank you Poopdeckpappy. I read a poll on sail.net and it totally changed my outlook on the age of the boat I want. Originally I was looking for a boat no older than 10 years, but the price was too high. Over 80% of the people who voted owned boats from 16-20 years old. I've since started looking at older, more affordable boats, which has brought my dreams closer to reality. I currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I'm fairly certain that I'll be able to sail the sound for a long time before seeing everything. I'd like my first boat to be my only boat, meaning blue water capable. Right now, I'd settle for anything reliable enough just to get me started.

ARSC Included in $45 Million DoD Award for New Supercomputers[ Editors' note: Following is a press release announcing ARSC's newest platform, to be named "Chugach". Thanks to ARSC Communications Group Lead Debra Damron. ]
Fairbanks, Alaska– The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has acquired new supercomputing resources under a $45 million award from the U.S. Department of Defense to Seattle- based supercomputer manufacturer Cray Inc. ARSC is the sole provider of open research computing capabilities for DoD's High Performance Computing Modernization Program. ARSC will receive an 11,648 compute core Cray supercomputer. ARSC also operates a 3,456 core Cray XT5 named Pingo, and a 2,312 processor Sun Opteron cluster called Midnight. In addition to ARSC, the $45 million award to Cray provides for the purchase of new high- performance computing (HPC) machines at DoD centers in Mississippi and Ohio.
The new Cray for ARSC will be installed later this year in the National Petascale Computing Facility (NPCF) at the University of Illinois and remotely operated by ARSC staff from Fairbanks. NPCF, now in its final phase of construction, is run by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). The new ARSC supercomputer is considered by Cray to be one of its next generation supercomputing systems, code-named "Baker." It will feature a new interconnect chipset known as "Gemini" as well as enhanced system software to boost performance and productivity.
In addition to the ARSC supercomputer, NPCF will house Blue Waters, a massive supercomputer funded by the National Science Foundation that will be capable of performing quadrillions of calculations every second. "We think this partnership with one of the largest academic supercomputing centers in the U.S. provides HPCMP and its users with more opportunities for collaboration and shared use of technologies co-located at NCSA," said ARSC Director Frank Williams. NCSA Director Thom Dunning is also supportive of the new partnership. "This cooperative arrangement with ARSC opens up exciting opportunities for further collaboration between our two centers, and potentially between NCSA and the Department of Defense," he said. "We look forward to working with ARSC to use our expertise and experience to help the scientists and engineers supported by DoD meet their research goals," Dunning said.
The partnership with NCSA is also expected to provide DoD's HPC Modernization Program with a venue conducive to developing strategic opportunities with other federal agencies, and especially the National Science Foundation, according to ARSC Director Williams. "ARSC continues to take a leadership role in connecting academic, research, computing and defense communities with the computers, data storage systems, high-speed networks and next-generation experimental systems necessary for discovery in engineering and science," he said.
"It also provides significant growth and sustainment opportunities for ARSC," Williams said. "Running the new Cray remotely frees up much needed space and high-demand power supplies so that we can install and operate new academic supercomputing systems here in Fairbanks." Earlier this year, ARSC announced that in partnership and collaboration with researchers at UAF and the University of Hawaii, a new supercomputer and a new data storage system funded by a National Science Foundation cyberinfrastructure grant will be installed in the Butrovich Building this spring. Those and related systems support more than 280 UAF researchers whose work would not be possible without the use of ARSC supercomputing resources.
Supercomputing resources at ARSC are used by a global community of researchers, within the U.S. Defense Department, the University of Alaska and other locations to advance scientific discovery for national competitiveness, global security and economic success. Projects include study of the world's oceans, which include creating models that predict the force and direction of tsunami waves, the impact of changes to the marine ecosystem on the Alaska fishing industry or the potential for ice-free summers in the Arctic.

How I Caught a Heisenbug[ By Patrick Webb ]
This is an interesting "bug" that only manifested in certain situations when dealing with C standard library's random number generator, srand().
The code in question set up a series of dummy particles for testing out an animation path. Each particle received a random start point, and random end point. Running the test application resulted in the strange bug of every particle having the exact same start point and end point. Using Totalview, I was able to determine that the animation start point and end points were receiving the same value somehow. The curious part about debugging was that the problem only manifested when the code was run straight through. If I stepped through the code line-by-line and watched the values in the variables being assigned then everything appeared to work as it should. I had found a Heisenbug! ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug#Heisenbug )
What I found out was really going on was the way that the seed value was being sent to the srand() function. The way the code was written, I was only using srand() in one function so naturally I placed all random-number related operations in that function including the seeding. Each time that function was called, the srand() function would be seeded with the current system time.
In the main body of code, the animation start points called the random function, seeding the srand() function and then almost immediately after that the animation end points called the random function RE-seeding the srand() function with the system time, which had not yet had a chance to increment in between the two separate calls. Because srand() is a pseudo- random number generator, given the same seed the function will output the same sequence of pseudo-random numbers. The reason the bug did not manifest in Totalview was due to the fact that stepping through line-by-line allowed the clock to advance and the seed be different!
The solution was simple: Either delay the calls so the system clock has time to advance, or only do the seeding once! By placing srand() seeding at the beginning of the code, say in the main() function, I was able to eliminate this strange and frustrating bug.
Octave/Matlab Compatibility[ By Craig Stephenson ]
I was blown away when I first discovered the OpenOffice.org application suite. How could an entire office suite, including applications for word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations, among others, be completely free? I wanted to know if there was a catch, so I made a point of using OpenOffice.org instead of Microsoft Office for my remaining three years of college. I learned to use its word processor for essays and technical papers; its spreadsheet to better visualize comma-separated files and to create graphs; and its presentation application to make slide shows. I even invested a bit of time into learning its equation editor for physics lab reports. Throughout these three years of school, nobody seemed to have the slightest idea I was using an alternative to Microsoft Office. This is the paradox of open source software. How can something that's free be anywhere near as good as something that costs a lot of money?
But this article is not about OpenOffice.org. It's about another open source package, GNU Octave, which is installed on pingo and midnight in the following location:
I decided to try Octave after hearing its name mentioned once or twice in the office as a potential alternative to Matlab. The official Octave website gives the following description:
- GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language.
This begs the question, "Just how compatible is Octave with Matlab?" The following Wikibook delineates some of the differences between the two, but the list is not exhaustive:
What about the similarities? With as little experience in Matlab as I have, I figured the odds of coming up with a Matlab script that confused Octave were minimal. Thus, I scoured the web for various Matlab scripts I could run through Octave just to see what would happen. I will be using a few example Matlab scripts written by John Burkardt from the following website to demonstrate:
Dr. Burkardt has kindly allowed me to host the source code of his examples along with this newsletter. I encourage motivated readers to download the examples to follow along or experiment. All three examples mentioned in this article are included in the following tar file:
arpack (script #2)
For a description of this script, please see the following web page:
I attempted to run arpack (script #2) as my first test. Since the arpack_test.m script was written as a function, I first launched Octave and then typed the name of the function:
% $PET_HOME/bin/octave ... octave:1> arpack_test
(Note: The next two examples were also run this way.)
The arpack script ran into compatibility problems with the delsq, numgrid, and eigs functions. Comparing the Matlab and Octave manuals suggested that each of these Matlab functions have comparable functions in Octave. I was unable to port this script to Octave after half an hour of digging through the manuals and experimenting, however. Launching Octave using the "--traditional" flag for better Matlab compatibility did not help. Things were looking bleak at this point.
asa005 (script #3)
For a description of this script, please see the following web page:
Next, I moved on to asa005 (script #3), which ran through Octave with no modifications. I decided to run the same script through Matlab and use the "diff" command to compare the output between the two. Of the 30 lines of numerical output produced by each program, only two lines differed due to miniscule floating point precision differences, shown here:
Octave: Matlab: 8.7740117993789823e-01 8.7740117993789846e-01 9.9811304880974128e-01 9.9811304880974105e-01
ball_and_stick_display (script #32)
For a description of this script, please see the following web page:
And finally, although the thought alone seemed absurd to me, I attempted to run ball_and_stick_display (script #32) through Octave. It seemed absurd because this was the first script I found on the website that produced a graphical plot. Remember, Octave "provides a convenient command line interface," not a GUI like Matlab. But maybe Octave would write plots to image files, I wondered.
When I ran script #32 through Octave, despite a series of warnings I was amazed to discover that the plot popped up in a window automatically. Octave invokes gnuplot to provide its plotting functionality. The plots generated by Octave vs. Matlab are shown below for comparison.
(Note: The plot generate by Octave is not completely compatible, as the lines are much thinner and the balls at the ends of lines are missing -- features that were deliberately added to the Matlab script by the author.)
Unfortunately, most of the more complex plotting scripts from that particular website failed to display at all in Octave. But many Matlab plotting scripts I found on other websites displayed through Octave without a hitch. Furthermore, despite Octave's problems with the arpack script, the vast majority of non-plotting Matlab scripts I tried ran through Octave without any modifications. But in most cases I did not compare the Octave output with Matlab output to verify its accuracy.
More evidence is needed, but so far Octave seems like a potentially viable alternative for very basic Matlab usage. More ambitious projects will likely require frequent trips to the Octave manual. If plotting is required, anything more complex than the most rudimentary plots may be a limiting factor. It would also be wise to verify the accuracy of output produced by Octave before assuming a ported script is fit to go into production.
If you have any Octave experiences of your own that you would like to share with the newsletter, we would love to hear them.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ Occasionally I use the "tee" command to save the output from the make [[ command to a file. Unfortunately, the "tee" seems to mess up my error [[ checking. Here is an example script: [[ [[ #!/bin/bash [[ [[ make 2>&1 tee make.eo [[ if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then [[ echo "Error running make."; [[ else [[ echo "make was successful."; [[ fi [[ [[ A "make" error yields this disappointing result: [[ [[ mg56 % ./build.bash [[ make: *** No rule to make target `fred.c', needed by `fred.o'. Stop. [[ make was successful. [[ [[ It would be really nice to have my script exit if the "make" fails! How [[ can I fix this? I can use another language to do this if that's what I [[ have to do. [[ # # Scott Kajihara points out that bash has already anctipated this problem: # So, traditionally, the exit status of a pipe has been the exit status of the last command executed, in this case, the tee(1) command which is [unfortunately] successful. The only simple solution is to use bash(1) [which is Bourne sh, Korn ksh on Linux-derived systems], and to set the pipefail option with ``set -o pipefail''. This will make the exit condition the last non-zero [unsuccessful] exit condition of a command as noted from the right-hand-side. # # Your editors add that bash and ksh also have an array variable called # PIPESTATUS into which are saved the exit status values of a pipeline. # For example, running this script: #!/usr/bin/sh make -f bad_Makefile 2>&1 tee make.eo echo "PIPESTATUS = ${PIPESTATUS} but rc = $?" produces this output: make: *** No rule to make target `m.c', needed by `small.o'. Stop. PIPESTATUS = 2 but rc = 0 If we add Scott's suggestion, as in: #!/usr/bin/sh set -o pipefail make -f bad_Makefile 2>&1 tee make.eo echo "PIPESTATUS = ${PIPESTATUS} but rc = $?" we get: make: *** No rule to make target `m.c', needed by `small.o'. Stop. PIPESTATUS = 2 but rc = 2 # # And ARSC User Consultant Lawrence Murakami suggested that this problem # might be avoided by using nested scripts, or perhaps writing your own # tee-like script to intercept the exit code. # Q: Every so often I find myself needing to verify that a file is the same on two different hosts. Usually what I end up doing is performing an "md5sum" command on the file on each of the two hosts, then visually skimming the md5 checksums to make sure they look similar. This seems sloppy to me though. It's possible that the two checksums could look similar enough that a hasty glance would lead me to believe they are identical when they are not. Is there a way to perform some kind of remote "diff" command between the two hosts instead?

Ed Fitzgerald delivers his final state of the county address
Cleveland (AP) - Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed Fitzgerald says his county was able to keep a significant budget reserve while cutting expenses and building a new administration building for Cuyahoga County.
Fitzgerald, the county's executive, made the comments during his state of the county on Wednesday before an audience of about 800 at the Cleveland City Club.
Fitzgerald touted a new county law that requires 25 percent of general fund operating revenue to be held in reserve.
He called that "a very high bar in government financial standards." He said the new administration building is the first constructed in 50 years.
His remarks came as a new Quinnipiac University poll showed Republican Gov. John Kasich leading Fitzgerald 43 percent to 38 percent. Fitzgerald has gained slightly.

- By Jeremy Hindle
- Write comment
Grooveshark is a fantastic audio cloud solution. A more popular example (at least in the UK) of something similar would be the service provided by Spotify. In short Grooveshark offers a light-hearted source for all your music needs. Just go to their website, type in what you want to listen to, select the exact song from a list and you are off. Grooveshark has many other features including a personal library, playlists, favourites and almost everything you might expect from a desktop client. Still, I digress, this article is not about Grooveshark as a whole (that is to come) but is about their recent resurgence onto the iPhone. Read more

Orpheus Chamber Orchestra: The New Brandenburgs
Audio not yet available
AARON JAY KERNIS - Concerto with Echoes (inspired by Brandenburg No. 6)
MELINDA WAGNER - Little Moonhead (inspired by Brandenburg No. 4)
SIR PETER MAXWELL DAVIES - Sea Orpheus (inspired by Brandenburg No. 5)
CHRISTOPHER THEOFANIDIS - Muse (inspired by Brandenburg No. 3)
STEPHEN HARTKE - A Brandenburg Autumn (inspired by Brandenburg No. 1)
PAUL MORAVEC - Brandenburg Gate (inspired by Brandenburg No. 2)
From Orpheus Chamber Orchestra:
In 2006, Orpheus began the New Brandenburg Project, an effort to commission six new works inspired by Bach's original Brandenburg Concertos. These superb pieces, so rich in invention, form a perfect set. Bach gave us an alpha and omega of instrumental composition and orchestrational mastery, not just for the high Baroque period but for all time. As Bach biographer Karl Geiringer writes, "There is an exuberance and abundance of inspiration in this music which only a genius, aware of his newly achieved full mastery, could call forth." No wonder musicians and audiences continue to return to these tuneful, joyous works.
Through the New Brandenburg Project, we hoped to pay tribute to this set and contribute to a living repertoire for chamber orchestra. Additionally, we wanted to unearth a variety of new perspectives on the Brandenburg Concertos and a familiar framework in which listeners could relate to new music. To reflect the artistic debate and experimentation that is the spirit of Orpheus, we commissioned six diverse composers in succession, each of whom was asked to use one of the Brandenburgs as a departure point.
Bach provided both the inspiration for and a beguiling link between our distinguished composers, despite their highly distinctive voices. Stephen Hartke reacted to the palatial residences of Bach's dedicatee, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt. A fourth movement of his A Brandenburg Autumn will have its world premiere tonight. Paul Moravec was moved by the world-altering events of 1989, as the Brandenburg Gate was thrown open and the Berlin Wall torn down. Both he and Melinda Wagner made use of the B-A-C-H (German notation for B-flat, A, C, B natural) theme, introduced by Bach himself in the monumental Art of Fugue. Wagner offered a whimsical take on No. 4, while Christopher Theofanidis and Aaron Jay Kernis took on the all-string Brandenburgs. In his title, Muse, Theofanidis referenced Bach's role in this project and for musicians at large. Kernis slyly parted ways with the original orchestration of No. 6 by introducing winds in the second movement of his work. The venerable Sir Peter Maxwell Davies capped off our project just last February with his take on the early keyboard concerto format of No. 5, juxtaposed with reflections on a poem by Orcadian poet George Mackay.
Five years in the making, we are thrilled and honored to present the New Brandenburg Project in its entirety for the first time at the inaugural Spring for MusicFestival. It marks the culmination of an unforgettable journey for Orpheus and, we hope, an exhilarating experience for listeners.
—Alan Kay, Orpheus Artistic Director/Clarinetist
A Note from Orpheus:
Dennis Godburn, 1949-2011
It is with enormous sadness and regret that Orchestra of St. Luke's announces the death of Dennis Godburn. Dennis died this week in New York City. A memorial concert is being planned for later this year. He is survived by his wife, Moy Eng, and two daughters, Amanda Eng Godburn and Julia Eng Godburn, all of Palo Alto, CA, his sister and brother-in-law, Denise and Michael Beale of Mansfield Center, CT, his aunt Lorraine Wyskiewicz, his uncle William and aunt Gertrude Godburn, numerous cousins and the Dobratz-Crandal family.
Widely regarded as one of the preeminent bassoon soloists in the world, Dennis Godburn pursued a distinguished career as performer of baroque, classical and modern bassoons, concertizing throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, South America and Australia. Dennis served as the principal bassoonist for Orchestra of St. Luke's since 1976. He played with Orpheus Chamber Orchestra since 1977 and became a member in 1995. Dennis also performed with the Metropolitan Opera, the San Francisco Symphony, Music@Menlo Festival, New England Bach Festival, Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra, Handel and Haydn Society, Waverly Consort, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and The Classical Band, among others.
He appeared as a soloist on the Great Performers Series at Lincoln Center and at the Mostly Mozart Festival, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Ravinia Festival, the Kennedy Center and "Live from Lincoln Center" national television broadcasts.
Dennis can be heard in recordings spanning medieval to contemporary repertoire on RCA Records, Sony Classics, L'Oiseau Lyre, Columbia Masterworks, Harmonia Mundi, EMI and Deutsche Grammophon. He also served on the faculties of the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the Manhattan School of Music.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Orchestra of St. Luke's at 450 West 37th Street, Suite 502, New York, New York, 10018 with a designation for the Dennis Godburn Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Hear about The New Brandenburgs from the six composers.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
If your husband isn't keen on crates, buy a play pen. Have her eat and drink in it (remove both when not using). After a while, say any hour or two, hook her up to her leash and say "let's go potty" and take her outside as quickly as you can. She'll learn after a few times.
That's what worked for our boy.
Good luck and keep at it.
|If she has diarrhea I'd get her tested for worms. My pup had this at 9-10 weeks and it definitely caused potty training issues. Once that was cleared up, he never pooped in the house again.
I would get a crate and when you can't watch her crate her....never let her out of your sight....if you can't have eyes on her then in the crate she goes. The less accidents the better. You need to be taking her out every 20 minutes or so....2 hours is way to long!!!

no we are not using a crate. my husband doesn't want to use a crate with her. he isn't really big on crate training dogs. i don't know why. granted i have never used a crate on any of my dogs in the past either. so i wouldn't even begin to know how to do that.
i have not been able to take her to the vet as of yet on the 1st however we will be doing that. i don't really scold her when i show her using the bathroom inside is wrong. i just firmly say OUTSIDE. we go potty outside. and then i take her out.
today was the first time she pooped while on the leash. we were outside and she whined and pulled at the leash so i walked her around and then she pooped i praised her gave her a treat and everything. i know it is going to take some time. some dogs train faster than others but i have never had this problem with my other dogs that i have had in the past.
the one place in the house she will not use the bathroom in is in my room because that is where she sleeps. so i know she has the don't poop where i sleep thing down.
thank you for yall's advice.
Also, if you take her to where she had an accident in the house and scold her, you're not teaching her that going in the house is bad- you're teaching her that going to the bathroom at all is bad. They don't make associations like that- and they definitely don't associate you throwing the poop outside with going outside.
You've only had her for two weeks... it takes time. Be patient and consistent. She needs to go out way more frequently than every two hours, and she needs to stay out until she goes- no matter what.
Have you had her checked out by a vet yet?
I would be taking her outside every 20-30 minutes....are you using a crate??

10 week old puppy potty training problem
i have been trying to potty train my puppy for a while now. i will take her outside after she eats and about every 2 hours or so and she refuses to use the bathroom outside, i have stood outside with her for an hour told her go potty and everything. she has gone potty once and i praised her and everything. other than that one time almost immediately after coming in from outside she will go potty in the house. i take her and show her that potting in the house is wrong. but she still does it. when she poops i will take it and throw it outside and take her to it and tell her that this is where we go potty. this method worked with my other dogs before but it is now working with her. if i catch her mid stream or what not i tell her nein outside and take her out but she will hold it until we come back inside. one day i had her outside for an hour and a half and all of a sudden she starts going crazy whining and pulling on the leash and barking doing circles so i know she had to potty but she never did the second we came inside she went and used the bathroom right in front of the bathroom door. any advice would be greatly appreciated especially since she has a diarrhea problem it is slowly getting better since i have been giving her pumpkin every day. even with the diarrhea she has gained 4 pounds in the last week and a half. she was small when we got her. thanks in advance
