Las Vegas Audio Society Awarded The Morpheus Reference Component of The Month Award!
Silnote Audio Awarded:
"Most Wanted Component of The Year" from Stereo Times!
Silnote Audio Orion M2 Speaker Cables/Poseidon Signature Interconnects (speaker cables -$3,295 for an 8 foot pr; interconnects - $1,595 per metered pair: Reviewed here) The Silnotes are sonic chameleons in the best sense of the word. Peerlessly neutral, smooth and holographic, superbly detailed but never etched or bright, they reproduce the unique tonal shadings, dynamic gradations and overall gestalt of any recording one cares to use with unflinching fidelity. In a world where reference-level cables frequently cost more than fine automobiles, the Silnotes deliver most of what the pricier competition offers for a fraction of the cost. The Orion M2 speaker cables and Poseidon Signature balanced interconnects are my new references, and are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. (Maurice Jeffries)"
"I'm listening to the Morpheus Reference Series II cables; they're great! They compare favorably (i.e. at least as good as) the Transparent Ultra I was using. I got these cables because I'm setting up a second system in my house, but it's not set up yet. My plan was to use the Transparents in the new "better" system, but now that I've heard these, I'm thinking I might want to get rid of my Transparents.
As these cables burn in, they are sounding even better, so it actually turned out to be a no-brainer. Good-bye Transparent! I look forward to setting up my new system, and putting the Morpheus Reference II Series II on the L/R channels. Now I will have 5 pairs of Silnote balanced interconnects, enough for both systems complete! I'm glad you advertise on Audiogon; if not for that, I wouldn't have discovered your cables, and I'm only listening to your most affordable cable! Kicked Transparent Ultra to the curb…amazing value. Please feel free to share my comments.
Rob 2017"
I've just opened up my Silnote Morpheus Reference II's and
and I have to say I was impressed from the get go. Beautiful construction, clean looking overall and has a lovely feel to its sleeving.
I was even more awed once I pressed the play button. It took away all the slight treble/upper mids harshness my previous cables had, and was just liquid smooth from top to bottom of the spectrum, without any detail loss or extra coloration. Vocals also became a tad lusher and sexier as a result. It's only initial impressions but I'm a happy camper already.
Brilliant work guys. I will definitely be coming back to Silnote for my next cable upgrade.
Have a great day. Because I totally am right now. Cheers!"

AXPONA 2015 Silnote Audio Room Report:
"As I mentioned earlier, Doug Schroeder and I agreed that one room in particular stood out for its extraordinary sound, sound that owed in no small part to the extraordinary cables used to configure the system: the Silnoteroom. The system that Silnote's approachable proprietor and chief designer put together, seriously seduced my tired ears for a second year in a row. Their delicious system came within shouting distance of winning my "best sound at the show" designation. Look for a review over the next several months. Oh, and my deepest apologies to the Silnote team in advance, but I was so taken by the exhibit and the great sound coming from this room that I forgot to take photos. Mea culpa!" Jeffery Brown , Stereo Times
"Their delicious system came within shouting distance of winning my "best sound at the show" designation."
Jeffery Brown, Stereo Times
"I turned to the Silnote products as they present a highly refined sonic signature." "This puts the Silnote products in very fine company, among the very best I have used in the past decade." Doug Schroeder, Dagogo
VOTED The Las Vegas Audio Club's "Component of the Week" Morpheus Reference Series II.
"The Morpheus Ref Series II in my system compete with and better others at 5 times their retail price! They are a complete steal at your demo prices" Dave
"Game changers. I mean I always feel like I can hear nuanced differences with cables and the like...but often I wonder if I'm just bullshitting myself to rationalize the purchase. These are a significant upgrade in my rig. And that's right outta the box. These things RIPPED a veil off I didn't know was there. More presence and meat but without crowding...more individual space in the SS. It really makes the treble on the my Beyerdynamic T1's (through a Woo Audio WA2) more digestible...actually adds detail and subtracts the sibilance it can have. I just got done playing 3 songs that always have some edges...they were edgeless. Mid-range from heaven. I'm a drummer so I always hone in on the drum timbre and realism. Beautiful and accentuated cymbal nuance and the bottoms of the toms and kick sound like controlled cannons. Great upgrade...and they're still cold out of the box. I'll get back to you in a few weeks with how they evolve.
Thank you !!! Bill 2014"
"Silnote makes some of the best cables I have ever owned. I have spent thousands on cables and audio gear and when I purchased the RCA Morpheus interconnects it literally transformed my system from top to bottom. I tried the Poseidon AC power cables even though I have been a power cable skeptic and must admit I have the darkest background and improved imaging that I never thought was possible. Mark truly is a gift to the audiophile community. I know of no better value cable at any Price. Thank you Mark and Sllnote. Jim"
"The Morpheus cable is a real winner. It improved the sound of my audio system significantly. Fuller and more sumptuous bass while retaining the crisp, tight quality. Improved clarity without a hint of harshness. Not too bright; just right! Overall, a more holistic and integrated listening experience. Quite musical and completely satisfying." Thanks so much!
Silnote Audio cables receive a complete "burn in" procedure with the AUDIODHARMA 3.5 Cable Cooker.
No waiting several weeks for your cables to break in as with most other manufactures! Silnote Audio cables will sound excellent right out of the box!
Silnote Audio years of intensive research in cable design technology has allowed us to create some of the world's finest sounding audio cables.
This allows us to accurately test every conductor phase as well as certain types of shielding material. The conductors used in most all our interconnects are Ultra Pure Solid Core 24k Gold, Silver, and Copper. The final and most important testing is accomplished from hours of listening to each individual design we create. It is through this extensive testing procedure that allows us to bring you some of the finest audio cables in the world.
Silnote Audio builds audio cables that are elegantly engineered and meticulously designed with the listener in mind. We use only the finest precious metals and materials. All conductors are individually polished by hand. All Silnote cables are custom hand crafted in house with extreme attention to detail, tested on state of the art equipment, and go through a "burning in" process. We listen to and test every cable we design.
"First class experience.Prompt shipping,and communication.Silnote Cables have increased my enjoyment of listening to music more than any components that i have used in recent memory."Thank you again Mark!
"Received the Morpheus Ref II Series II connects this morning. In system already. I have had XLO, Tara Labs, Kimber, and Syn. Research. By far yours are the most musical. I am interested in my music again. Randall 2014"
"The strings of the guitar are very vibrant as I can hear each vibration of the strings and feel the full weight of the instrument. The sound is clear, fast and natural with a wonderful dark background. If you have never heard music coming from a black, silent background, do yourself a favor and give these interconnects a listen."
"Well I got home and hooked them up and was floored to say the least. One of my test selections is the Overture to Candid with Bernstein on DG.
My room exploded with the all the excitement this piece has to offer without the over emphasis and edginess in the upper registers. Body, weight, color, timing, breadth, etc, etc…
I was in audio heaven. Next I put on piano discs and the upper registers of the piano had clarity, color and sparkle but not edginess or over emphasis. I have to say this is the best my system has sounded. I had no idea I could get the level of sheer musicality I am now getting from my system by changing to Silnote interconnects and speaker cables.
I am really enjoying these Morpheus Reference cables. Combined with the Poseidon Signature and your Poseidon Ultra Reference Speaker cables my system is sounding better than ever. I just can't imagine it sounding better. Thanks for your thoughts…. And again for your truly musical cables. " Jim
Our cables have been compared to some of the best available. Silnote Audio cables have received rave reviews and recognition all over the world.
Feedback posted from our wonderful customers:
"It takes an lot to better the Silnote Audio line of cables. They will forever change the way you listen to music. An accessory is not the proper word for Silnote Audio cables. They are more of a component than anything. A direct and beautiful source to your ears." Dan
"I want you to know I will provide a RAVE review for you and your cables on audiogon feedback. I used your cables on my tuner (a Linn Pekin) and WOW: the sound was like a live recording rather than a radio station. I'm hearing variations in the sound of guitar strings which are amazingly natural, not like a recording but like a real instrument. You are the KING of cable. I thought someone would outbid me and am very surprised to have won them at the agreed price. I guess I chose an "off" night and it worked out. (I promise to call my local dealer and tell them about your cables!) I don't think there is ANY cable out there that is better than yours except your Poseidon (I'm taking you at your word for that since you invented it). I've gathered together a used stereo system that would cost 20,000 new and it never sounded like that until I got your cables. They are like stereo components rather than cables. Again, YOU ARE THE KING! "
Dr.Keith Petrosky
"Amazing value. Replaced interconnects (Stealth Metacarbon) worth 15 times their price, and they sound wonderful. True value and well-made. Good folks with whom to deal."
Buyer: Thomasj
"Cables (Morpheus Reference II RCA interconnects) look and sound beautiful. Great seller. Fast shipment. Good communication. I highly recommend Silnote Audio cables and I will buy from Silnote Audio again."
Buyer: Doug_in_virginia
"This is my third purchase of these AMAZING cables that produce LIVE-SOUNDING music which is just STUNNINGLY DETAILED, INCREDIBLY REALISTIC, THREE DIMENSIONAL,and TOTALLY AWESOME! They have taken my very high-end system to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!"
Positive by Buyer Keith7423
" The Silnote Audio POSEIDON USB is the real deal. I compared it to my fully broken-in top-shelf ($550) USB cable and the Poseidon beat it after 10 hours of run-in. WOW! I cant wait for it to fully break-in. Dont hesitate. THANKS Mark! "
"Very quick ship, very helpful seller--led me through product choices with great patience. Sound is really excellent--very good highs, superb mids and lows-- replaced silver and MIT cables."
Positive by Buyer Deebarnes
"Just received the Poseidon Signature - sound wonderful out of the box and therefore looking forward to listening to the music as they break-in. Have 2 Silnote digital cables & 2 Apollo ICs , all quality products! Thanks Mark!
"Leaving feedback after several weeks of using several Silnote cables (IC and S/C). The MII is a keeper, the speaker cable already sounding great. Super value for the price. Each item shipped individually but never any delay, always good communication. Thanks Silnote!"
Positive by Buyer Rrgordon
"These cables are giant killers thats for sure!The big boys should be shaking in their boots! Make sure you snap them up at these fantastic prices! Just superb sounding xlr interconnects! Highly recommended to all! A+A+A+A+A+"
"This cable far exceeded my expectations. It is a flat out steal at the price. It reproduces dynamics and musical textures with great naturalness and ease. Emotionally involving and hard to stop listening. A great product!"
"Mark and the team at Silnote are first class all the way. The Morpheus XLR's are excellent interconnects.....highly recommended!!! "
"Wow.. truly fantastic cables.. already sounds better than the 900$ cardas xlr/rca, (borrowed from a local hi fi shop). I'm only 30 hrs (+/-) into the recommend break in period (50 - 100 hrs) and all I can say is my "bottom" feels the bass"
"No such thing as double positive? Wow, these things feel like they've doubled my soundstage and definitely cure some noise and brightness in my system! And I'm just going on first impressions here!"
"The Silnote Reference II ic is incredible! I've had ic's in my system costing literally 4 times as much and the Ref II is now my reference. Great guys to do business with. Highly recommended!"
"Mark was very professional and he makes some really nice cables. I used his Morpheus LE Reference interconnects to replace a pair of Straightwire Virtuoso RCA's, and I'm not changing them back.They sound great! Thanks again, Mark!"
"Mark, another well made , excellently packaged and quickly shipped cable. Anxious to spend extended listening time to some music with it in my system - expecting it to be as pleasurable as with your other cables I have txs"
"Mark and Silnote audio are outstanding examples of how an audio company should be run. I am a thrice repeat customer who really appreciates an outstanding product which far exceeds its rather modest price tag. Thanks so much Mark!"
"Great Transaction. Cables shipped quickly and I look forward to extended listening sessions as they break in. Initial listening confirms these are great sounding interconnects. Quality construction which is first class."

In last year's lecture on researching the poor, I included a somewhat lengthy discussion of bastardy records. One question someone posed, either during the lecture or afterwards (I cannot remember which), was whether or not a man who had been singled out as the father of an illegitimate child had recourse if he was not, in fact, the father.
Why, yes, he did, and here's a great example of that from the 25 December 1861 minutes of the county court for Macon County, North Carolina.1

Below the Line Project: Arrows Fields Grids and Forces
Posted on March 3, 2014 by AnnIsikArts
A pattern and texture is the outcome of an encounter between a force and a resistance (Ann Isik (me) 2014)
I've been a little quiet on the blog recently. I've been preoccupied with dreadful draining domestic drudgery. My creative cauldron has been crooning constantly in the background, however, awaiting my stirring spoon.
Arrows. (I'm struggling to set alliteration aside, as you see) – Arrows became a form in my Below the Line project, representing force. Especially what I'm going to call the 'forceless force', meaning the force that is the source of the forces of nature. The idea for the name came when I was looking at an exhibition catalogue authored by Australian art historian Michael Brand. The exhibition was called The Vision of Kings – Art and Experience in India. I wrote in a recent blog about how I came across this catalogue and how by sheer synchronicity I got to see many of the real art works illustrating the catalogue on a trip to Boston and Harvard.

Or the "weekend" that was.
Who's that under those bushes?
I was caught out by Ragnarogue, sprung royally, four fingered hands hands in the chocolate achievement pot.
Yes, after swearing black, blue and green that I wouldn't participate in NobleGarden.
After composing an "I won't use Polymorph: Rabbit spell" macro, I snuck off Wednesday night and submitted my beautiful Gnomely body to the rabbit transformation and grovelled around under bushes hunting for eggs.
- I blame it on Nib(uca) for introducing the Mage patch notes section to TNB (don't worry, won't be any Mage news this week…)
- I blame it on Twitterfolk for talking about Cadbury chocolate eggs.
- I blame it on my (non-WoW playing) mate from Sydney that drove to Melbourne to celebrate my birthday on my singular weekly WoW Friday night.
- I blame it on my pathetic weak willed red haired blog writing avatar.
One hour I said.
One hour…
Or maybe just a little more…
Unfortunately the jig was up when I cracked the 1st egg, then when I picked up this lovely pink number.
I am almost prepared to admit I enjoyed myself, but then I had no intention of hunting for hundreds of eggs… Just 100, ohhh ok, 110 just so I can get a new poly spell and hand in the quest.
I also got myself a pet rabbit…
Actually, due to RNG fail, I got two pet rabbits. Worst part being that bunny No1 has disappeared from my pet tab, but I can't use the 2nd one, cause I already got one (edit: got it back).
I don't get it…
Let me hand my spare rabbit's foot in for a pair of pants folks… It's drafty down there…
Champion of the divorce courts!
So, as I was already facing divorce for playing on a Wednesday night, I went a step further. The clues were there, even if you aren't a Gnomeaggedon Armory stalker…
I got my last 4 valiant tokens (with a little help from a complete stranger), and after multiple solo attempts to take down the Argent Champion…
Became an Exalted Champion in my own right!
So now I just need to grind dailies/weeklies in my case for the next 20 weeks so I can upgrade my Mechanostrider.
Maybe a couple more months so I can get my mini-strider. Not sure if I will upgrade my hippogryph… But to be completely honest, I don't think I could be bothered chasing more champions titles.
Of course, if I am getting quest credits while doing the champion quests… Killing 2 Zombies with one lance may not be so bad.
Champion of the poor children
So there the weekend ended…. or did it…
I decided that since I was helping out the Real Life children in Children's week, I might as well help out the in-game children as well.
I am no stranger to RL charity… but I am a 1st time WoW charity giver. Once again I wasn't after any high falutting Patron's title, but I was out to steal the poor orphan's pets!
I mean I obviously really don't care too much for other people's kids.
Their pets on the other hand…. let's face it, turtles trump rabbits….
And Egbert trumps turtles…
The silly Orphan child even thanked me for stealing her candy pet…
So it looks like I achieved a lot in a weekend where I wasn't going to play at all…
Anyway, hope you folks had a great weekend, and grats to Frozencubez for hitting 80 on his Mage!
Gnomer and Out!

The National Broadband Map was developed to embody the spirit of the Internet.
Let me explain what I mean. The Internet is a two way street. At its most basic, the National Broadband Map shows how quickly Americans can give and take information over our national networks.
The Internet is also highly dynamic; it is constantly changing. The Map, too, was built to not only support but encourage change.
Since the product launched, we've seen some cool developments that use the Map's building blocks to make other projects better and more powerful. We think these developments lead to new opportunities -- new markets, new jobs, and new ways of tackling tough issues.
Here's the first big example: The team at Broadband.com has integrated two of the FCC's APIs -- one for Census Block Conversion, the other to access the crowdsourced data points of the FCC Consumer Broadband Speed Test -- into their own mapping tool. This helps show the speed at businesses' locations -- a hugely important data point to surface as the speed of broadband to business and industry only climbs in importance in our connected market place.
On the government side, the excellent data team at the U.S. Department of Education just released a map product that visualizes one of the most vital aspects of broadband deployment in America: broadband availability for U.S. schools. Moving forward, the National Broadband Map will be collecting more information about Community Anchor Institutions – the places like schools and libraries that often are the central locations for public broadband access – that will help grow the functionality in products like the Broadband Availabilty map.
These integrations are a great example of government data products helping businesses build new markets. It's exactly the spirit of integration we had in mind, and we're excited to see other products -- in the private and public sectors -- continue down this path.
The second example is even more exciting. Since launch, we have received over 32,000 user-suggested inputs which are location based. These 32,000 data points come in two varieties: some support the data that the map shows, and others point out discrepancies where user data doesn't match the data in the map.
These user inputs are being fed back to the states -- the collectors of the National Broadband Map's data -- to continuously improve the quality of the product. And user data input -- like our speed test -- continue to show the value that hybridized data collection techniques can pass on to users and innovators alike.

Linebrink had a bad spring, following a bad 2010, which followed a bad second half in '09. Sources indicated that Williams was working the phones (standing by them, really) in hopes that the Cubs or another team desperate for a bullpen veteran would take him off the White Sox's hands, even if the Sox had to eat some of the contract. The trade didn't happen and the Sox decided against releasing Linebrink. The hope is he'll pitch well enough to create some value, at which point he can be off-loaded.
BTW, Oney Guillen doesn't approve of Greg Aquino not making the team while Jayson Nix does:
Aquino should have been on the team to protect other guys. Nix sevres no purpose. He aint gonna pinch hit fr anyone or [be used as a] defense replacement.

With just a little imagination and some simple, reasonable supplies, it's so easy to generate your own homemade Halloween costumes.
Here are a few fun ideas that you can try out this Halloween.
Halloween Costumes
The Laundry Basket
What you'll need:
- Large laundry basket, whether round or square
- Empty box of detergent
- Empty bleach bottle
- Empty box of fabric softener sheets
- Socks and clothing
- Hot glue gun
- Yarn or extra wide ribbon
- Large scissors or shears
What to do:
First, using the large shears cut out the whole bottom of the laundry basket being rigorous not to leave any sharp edges or loose pieces of plastic. Then using the yarn or ribbon, thread two pieces up straight through the bottom of the basket to fashion a set of "suspenders" that will be used to keep the basket up around the waist.
With the glue gun, randomly glue some old socks and t-shirts or towels to the inside rim of the laundry basket so that they will hang over the sides after the glue has dried. The small laundry box and fabric softener box can be glued to the top or sides of the basket, while the bleach bottle can be used as a "hat" after cutting off the bottom of the bottle.
The Window Flower Box
What you'll need:
- A plastic window flower box
- Plastic flowers, ivy, leaves
- Green craft foam, Spanish moss or Styrofoam and green fabric
- White craft foam or heavy building paper
- Hot glue gun
- Yarn or extra wide ribbon
- Large scissors or shears
What to do:
Cut out the bottom of the window box, or the back too if it's too small for man to fit inside of, and then glue whether the green craft foam, Spanish moss, or Styrofoam covered with green fabric inside the box. Also, cut out two small holes in the box that the yarn or ribbon can be threaded into for a pair of suspenders to hold the box up around the waist.
Now add the plastic flowers, inserting them into the craft foam, and cover with the Spanish moss for an extra realistic touch. Make a flower headpiece using whether white foam or building paper cut into petal-shaped pieces and attach to the head using a hair band or ribbon.
Other easy homemade Halloween costumes are:
- A box of popcorn: Cover an empty cardboard box with white butcher paper and add red stripes using building paper or markers. Using a hot glue gun, glue pieces of popcorn, whether real or the type that's used as packing material and painted yellow, to the exterior of the box and around the rim. Complete the costume with red or white pants or tights.
- A pair of dice: Two children can be a pair of dice with cardboard boxes, butcher paper and black dots cut from building paper.
- Tourist: An easy but fun costume to make is the vacationing tourist using a Hawaiian-type shirt, sunglasses, a camera, a loud hat and a few maps.
- Animals: It's uncomplicated to make animals such as a cow, pig, dog or cat using appropriately colored sweat suits, a few pieces of felt for embellishments, and some face make-up to draw on the whiskers or spots.
There are countless homemade Halloween costumes that are uncomplicated to make and cost a fraction of what you'd pay for the boring, lowly ones you find in the stores, and production your own is so much more fun!Fun Homemade Halloween Costumes

Apple is trying to help its users sift through the mountains of available apps by adding two new sections to the App Store and Mac App Store: "Free App of the Week" and "Editors' Choice." As expected, the two sections are meant to highlight high-quality apps for iOS and the Mac that users might otherwise miss due the sheer number of other apps being added to the two stores each day. But while the new sections are a welcome addition to the app stores, they still don't do much to improve the app discovery problem when users try to search.
Some current Editors' Choice picks on the iOS App Store include the new Facebook Camera app, Extreme Skater, Sketchbook Ink, and Air Mail. As for the Free App of the Week, the company is highlighting Cut the Rope: Experiments, which is free for a limited time as part of the new promotion. On the Mac App Store, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Cobook are being highlighted as Editors' Choices.
The new sections are helpful to a degree—users are always looking for new apps that rise above the rest in quality, and the new sections will help to promote those apps. But as pointed out by our friends at The Apple Blog, this is largely just a band-aid solution when viewed in the larger scope of app discovery. Even the most specific search terms, when plugged into the App Store, can turn up thousands of hits for other apps that may not even be relevant to what the user wanted. Digging through page after page of results can be tiring, and users are unlikely to have the patience or attention span to spend more than a few minutes trying to find what they want before giving up.
What the App Store needs is a better search mechanism, which is where Apple's acquisition of Chomp should come in. The free iOS app allows users to search the App Store using a proprietary algorithm to figure out what apps actually do, instead of just using keywords or app names, and has been touted as a lifesaver by App Store junkies. If and when Apple finally integrates Chomp's algorithm into the App Store itself, searching should be much easier than it is now. But until then, we'll have to make do with the new sections that Apple is giving us. Do you agree with this week's selections?

A team of researchers at Lawson Health Research Institute and Western University have identified a novel way that a common virus, called adenovirus, causes disease. In doing so, they have discovered important information on one of the body's key immune responses. Their findings, published today in Cell Host & Microbe, may have implications for infectious diseases and cancer.
Adenovirus infections most often cause mild illnesses of the respiratory system, resulting in runny noses, coughs and sore throats. However, researchers have been interested in adenoviruses since the 1960s, when it was discovered that they can cause tumors in rodents. These tumors arise because adenovirus infected cells divide uncontrollably and escape the immune response, which are hallmarks of cancer.
One key component of antiviral immunity is interferon. "Interferons are proteins made and released by cells in response to the presence of viruses, bacteria, parasites or cancers," says Dr. Joseph Mymryk, a scientist at Lawson and a tumor virologist at London Health Sciences Center. "Adenovirus is completely resistant to interferon."
Past studies have identified some of the ways in which adenovirus overcomes the interferon response, but Dr. Mymryk and Greg Fonseca, PhD Candidate and lead author on the study, have identified a new mechanism that relies on changes in epigenetic regulation. Epigenetics is an emerging field of study which involves non-genetic factors that cause an organism's genes to express differently.
The production of interferons is responsible for the majority of symptoms commonly associated with viral infection including fever, chills, muscle aches, and malaise. When a cell is exposed to interferon it increases the production of about 300 cellular genes that defend the cell from infection. The researchers have discovered that interferon-regulated genes require a specific epigenetic modification called monoubiquitination of histone 2B (H2B) to work. "There is still much to learn about this modification, but our studies are the first to show that it is absolutely required for the interferon response," says Fonseca. "This finding was totally unanticipated."
"Each cell has thousands of different genes and they can all be regulated in weird and wonderful ways," says Dr. Mymryk. "The monoubiquitination of H2B specifically results in large increases in the transcription of genes. We found that the interferon response uses this modification for the rapid increases in gene transcription (which leads to gene expression) that are needed to change the cell environment to respond to and stop the viral infection. What the virus does is essentially block the formation of the complex that performs the monubiquitination of H2B, thereby blocking its function."
Although the medical consequences of adenovirus are typically modest, the study's findings have implications in a broad range of diseases because of how influential the interferon response is to how we respond to infectious diseases and cancer.
"Many cancers are non-responsive to interferon," says Fonseca. "If we can more fully understand the mechanism of interferon response, we may be able to better treat these cancers. Overall, many of the tricks adenovirus uses may be similar to those used by other viruses and cancer cells."
Dr. Mymryk is also Professor in the Departments of Microbiology and Immunology, and Oncology at Western's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry.

CollabNet has introduced CollabNet TeamForge 5.3, the latest version of the company's ALM platform. CollabNet TeamForge 5.3 includes a capability called "Dynamic Planning," which enables development teams to manage and model both project scope and timeline in a single user interface. This release also includes an out-of-the-box best-practices Agile development template that enables teams to start an Agile-based project while still flexibly supporting other methodologies.
Dynamic Planning combines, in a single, "Explorer-like" GUI, product management's "feature tree," which tracks the scope of development, with project management's "planning tree," which tracks development backlogs and time boxes. This planning interface allows any item of arbitrary scope (e.g., epic, story, task, or defect) to be flexibly mapped to any arbitrary backlog or timebox (e.g., product, release, iteration, or team), resulting in an centrally visible "Agile plan." Furthermore, a powerful burn-down charting capability is provided at every level of the hierarchy.
"Dynamic Planning capability is Agile-focused but benefits teams using any methodology," said CollabNet's Chris Clarke. "Dynamic Planning enables product managers, project managers, and developers to plan and report on releases from a single screen, with software development status continually available at every level of detail."
TeamForge 5.3 (which supports both a Web-based interface and a full IDE support across Windows, Eclipse, and Visual Studio) comes with an out-of-the-box best practices project template to help project teams kick-start their Agile projects. The template includes a variety of pre-defined tracker types (epics, stories, tasks, and defects), a set of Agile roles to help manage project membership, and process guidance to help team members embrace the modern Agile methodology. All aspects of the template can be customized and used as the foundation for new templates, allowing organizations to define, manage, and refine multiple development methodologies.

We had a very good stay overall. We stayed in the White Room, which though large had the tiniest bathroom I've ever seen...made in the closet: toilet and shower enclose, sink in the room outside. We were able to schedule the breakfast with Alice the housekeeper at our convenience during the range of breakfast hours something I've not seen before. We never met the host, Roger, but were greeted by his wife.

Nice little B&B that is within 30 minutes of many locations to visit. Friendly morning staff and warm home decor
4,0 am Oktober 09, 2017
The Pillsbury House had beautifully decorated rooms with lovely antiques. Each room was large and offered you ample space for relaxation. The dining room and living areas were beautifully decorated as well. The staff was friendly as was the host and hostess. The breakfast was very good and they were most accommodating. It was centrally located with an easy ride to Providence. All the homes were historical in the area. We enjoyed our stay immensely.
5 am Oktober 02, 2017
This is a great place to stay if you are traveling in the New England Area. It is away from the busy cities yet close enough to see things in the city if you desire. Roger and Carin are great hosts and very acomadating. Breakfasts were good as well. Would sty here again if we are in the area.
5 am Juli 11, 2017
We stayed at the Pillsbury House for 3 nights in July 2017. It was our second stay at the Inn and we felt right at home as soon as we arrived. Roger and Corrine greeted us and provided us with recommendations for local eateries. Every morning, we enjoyed delicious breakfasts and conversation with Alice. The home is private, impeccable, full of history and tradition. We would not hesitate to recommend a stay at the Pillsbury House.
5 am Juli 10, 2017
Our stay was outstanding. This was our second time at The Pillsbury House and, once again, we had a great experience. Thanks to Roger, Corine and Alice. We will be back!
5 am Juli 07, 2017
I stayed in the white room, which was clean and comfortable. Outside my room was a small sitting area which I found was a great place to read after my hectic day. The lovely cook prepared a delicious breakfast which was enjoyed with others who were staying. They were from Florida and Buffalo New York, I am from Pennsylvania, so it provided for interesting conversation and a delightful meal.

Very quaint, super quiet, private, charming 3rd floor walk up was a touch
5 am Januar 13, 2017
This is the second time we have had the pelasure to stay and hope to come back when we're back in the area. Breautiful rooms, amazing breakfast (thank you alice, the amazing cook). Just a great place to stay
4,6 am August 07, 2016
What a great B and B to stay at. Very reasonably priced and location was great. The breakfast was excellent and the cook was willing to accommodate. Very quiet. Would highly recommend this place.

First time at a B+B. We would not hesitate to stay here again! Owners and staff were more than we could have imagined. Hospitality and friendliness towards us was outstanding!
4,2 am Februar 04, 2016
The stay was wonderful. The staff was very accommodating and Chris was a great cook. The home was beautiful and was in a great section of Woonsocket.
5 am August 19, 2015
My husband & I stayed at the Pillsbury House B & B for two weeks. We were visiting family & friends and our stay there could not have been more pleasant. Roger & Corinne made us feel right at home immediately. There was breakfast each morning served by Chris (housekeeper and cook) and she took good care of us during our stay. The room was spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. Pillsbury House is set in a very quiet section of the city so noise was not a factor. We will be returning to Woonsocket in the near future and we would not stay anywhere else. Chris & Ray

I stayed at B&Bs a long, long time ago in Ireland --college graduation gift to myself. Years in business found me in one generic hotel after another. Pillsbury House gave us a flavor (figuratively and literally) of the town much better than any bland hotel. It's renewed our love for the comfort and care you can get on the open road.

As full time grad-students and parents, we were looking for a simple, inexpensive trip to celebrate our 11 years of marriage. Our hosts were courteous, and the value of our stay was exactly as we had hoped. Cute downtown for meals!

Quaint B&B, excellent food, wonderful hospitality.

Definitely a large Victorian house with all the upkeep, amenities, large rooms, high ceilings, oriental rugs. Very excellent location for cities of culture and history. Woonsockets bike trail gets a star.
5 am Oktober 29, 2014
We visited NE for 2 weeks and stayed at 12 top rated B&Bs. This was among the best. Room was large with a remarkably comfortable bed, large bath, adequate parking, great breakfast, superb service, and at an outstanding price to boot.. Doesn't get any better. We chose this B&B because we needed to be close to the Providence airport the next day, but it turned out to be our favorite. Wish we had had it in Portland. Highly recommended.The all 5 star ratings I gave is not silliness, it was that good.
5 am Oktober 23, 2014
Roger, our host, was friendly, polite, gracious and helpful. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Woonsocket. We highly recommend it.
5 am Oktober 10, 2014
Nice local to access Conn. RI and Boston. Excellent breakfast!
5 am August 14, 2014
Pillsbury house was the ideal spot to introduce my husband & I to the world of bed& breakfast Inns. We were welcomed in by a personalized note then met by Roger, the owner who gave us a tour and filled us in in the history of house. Breakfast was personal & delicious! We would recommend this lovely place to everyone!
4,2 am August 08, 2014
When we stopped at the Blackstone Valley Visitors center in Pawtucket, we told the information person we were staying in Woonsocket and they said, "Must be the Pillsbury House: it's the best place to stay." The Pillsbury house is on a rise above the city. It is a beautiful Victorian home with very authentic period furniture. Our Room - the Victorian - had a very nice bed with a convenient private 3/4 bath. I was going back down to Pawtucket to see the Red Sox AAA team, and Roger, our host was extremely helpful and savvy. Breakfast in the morning was delicious, creative and fresh, including a fancy version of french toast, a fruit salad, and sausage. We enjoyed meeting our fellow guests in the formal yet comfortable dining room. It was a delightful stay, and a good value.
4,6 am Oktober 18, 2013
The mill town of Woonsocket had a small area of exquisite homes where the Captains of Industry lived. Pillsbury House is a 4 bedroom mansion in this beautiful area - a home where one can feel wealthy for a very modest price. A nice place with good food and great surroundings.
4,2 am Oktober 03, 2013
Elegant historic home on a quiet street in Woonsocket, RI. Beautifully decorated rooms are large and comfortable. Great neighborhood to walk around. Genial host Roger Bouchard provides referrals to many excellent local restaurants (or whatever else you might be looking for). Tasty breakfast, flexible serving schedule. Most comfortable bed in the world is in the White Room (my favorite).
4,4 am September 22, 2013
This place is great, in a safe and quiet part of town. I takes you back into another era. I enjoyed reading the books on Woonsocket history that are kept in the parlor. The proprietor's liquor bottles are left out in beautiful cut crystal bottles, which are classy-looking, but I was thinking that if a person was trying to not drink, it might not be a good place to stay. Decor is lovely and the owner and the woman who cooks breakfast are both very nice.
5 am August 20, 2013
Located in a neighborhood of lovely historic homes. The Pillsbury House is clean and charming. Bedroom was comfortable and breakfast delicious. Very friendly and accommodating. A great spring weekend visit!
5 am Juli 25, 2013
Enjoyed a wonderful weekend at this charming Victorian gem. The innkeeper was most accommodating, even though we arrived very late. The room was adorable. In the morning we had a delicious full breakfast served by a friendly, loquacious cook who charmed the guests with stories.

4,0 am April 13, 2013
My husband and I stayed one night; we needed to be in Woonsocket on a Saturday evening and could have driven home after, but it would have been very late and so I was glad I had booked our stay. We were very happy at Pillsbury House. I will only stay at a B&B that offers private baths! Really enjoyed the Garden Room. Unfortunately, the next morning, for some reason I became ill before checkout. It was probably a "24 bug" that decided to hit me then! Anyhow, this meant that I could not partake of that spectacular breakfast! I had to leave the dining room and go back up to bed. I told my husband to take his time and enjoy his breakfast. The housekeeper was awesome and asked if there was anything special I needed. She took the time to put water on for tea, and sent that up to me with some corn muffins,which I packed to take for later. I really appreciated that. I hope we have the opportunity to go back some day.
4,4 am Oktober 19, 2012
I made a reservation for one night and stayed two. For the price, it was a wonderful experience and pol;ace to stay. Like a home away from home. Wonderful, quaint, and charming Victorian Inn. Very accommodating and friendly. Very clean, great water pressure in the shower and rooms are very quiet. Love the fact that I din't need a password for internet access. Innkeeper Christine was very friendly, charming and served a very nice breakfast. Owner Roger was very helpful as well. Left my Hard-drive in the room with and they made a great effort to contact me to tell me they had found it. I will definitely stay again and recommend to other people
5 am August 26, 2012
We had a fantastic stay at the Pillsbury House. Roger made us so welcome and we spent 6 nights in the beautiful garden room. Highly recommended.

I stayed at the Pillsbury House Bed&Breakfast as an extended stay guest from mid february 2012 to mid may 2012. The extended stay rate is $200/wk, and does not include breakfast (why my dining score was neutral). The extended stay room is the country suite, which has a large personal bathroom with a bathtub. The room has 2 twin sized beds and is quite spacious. The room is on the 3rd floor, so there is a lot of privacy. There is no television (cable) in the room, however when I said I had a new Xbox I was interested in playing during my stay, Roger had a small television that he let me use. It was nice touches like that and his encouragement to feel at home anywhere in the house that really made me feel welcome. There is a public television in the first floor living room, which I used almost every day. At first that felt kind of awkward, but there usually wasn't much foot traffic when I was watching, so it felt more comfortable. Although the extended sty did not include breakfast, I was allowed to use a minifridge and the kitchen whenever I needed, and was welcome to have the snacks and tea at any time. Roger was very helpful to me and was always available for advice about the area. Because I did not have a car while I was there, he offered rides to the airport and train station, or even other places around town. Even when we just saw each other in passing, he was in good spirits. The maid was friendly as well. She kept a good balance between keeping the room clean (changing linens and towels, emptying trashcans, etc.) and giving me my privacy. She left me notes if she was unsure about how I wanted things. All in all, I felt at home during my stay here.

Amazing Victorian B&B. Hospitality and amenities were the best! I will be back.
5 am März 23, 2012
Enjoyed our stay; welcoming; comfortable; spacious room; great neighborhood; friendly hostess and host.

My husband & I went with another couple to RI for an event. Other friends stayed in the local hotel. It was a wonderful time. Roger the owner was so interesting & helpful. The house was like a place back in time with modern upgrades. We enjoyed it so much that one evening we just stayed in.
4,4 am Februar 01, 2012
the owner of Pillsbury House, Roger Bouchard, made us feel like family. His home is beautiful& comfortable, & our breakfasts were excellent. We will recommend Pillsbury House to anyone visiting the area. Great location!
2,2 am September 07, 2011
This was our first experience at a B&B and after our stay at the Pillsbury House it maybe our last, next visit to Woonsocket, we will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express on Cumberland Hill Road. Our room was very small, not the same as pictured on the website, especially being that we were staying for 5 days. Bathroom even smaller, shower floor needed cleaning, bathroom sink was in the bedroom. Our bed was never made during our stay, nor were the trash cans emptied in bedroom or bathroom. We did have "fresh" towels everyday, except the day that the housekeeper took off, NO fresh towels and NO breakfast, we were on our own. No more B&Bs for us, not for awhile.
Antwort des Gastgebers
The Pillsbury House has been in business 17 years. This was our only negative review since opening. It was written because the guest was upset with not changing his room to another room which was reserved for another couple (friends) they were traveling with. Saying "they'll never know we switched the rooms," this guest promised retaliation. He made good on his promise.

What was I doing spending an overnight in Woonsocket? A friend bid on this overnight package at a local auction and won. The owner, Roger was very friendly and innformative about the history of Woonsocket and the background of the Pillsbury Inn. The overnight included apple pancakes, fruit, juices and cornbread on fine china and pleasant conversation with the other guests. Had dinner at Chans and toured Woonsocket at night. Pillsbury Inn - so charming and enjoyed the privacy of having the third floor - no sharing of the bathroom. If you want to stay in a very charming Victorian Inn with a charming host - stay at the Pillsbury. Ruth, Cranston, RI

We were very pleased with our stay at the Pillbury House. Our room "The Victorian" was spacious and clean. Roger, the proprietor, welcomed us and invited us to chat in the kitchen. He gave us a history of the inn and a brief history of the area. Breakfast was tasty and we will definitely try to come again if in the area.

My sister and I were on our first vacation alone together touring Connecticut and Rhode Island for four days and three nights. One of the nights of our tour we stayed at the Pillsbury House. It is quite a ways from Providence, but if the location is not too important, it is a great place to "hang your hat" for a night. We stayed in the "Maid's Quarters" on the third floor. There's a lot of steps, but if that's not a problem, it's quiet and very comfortable. Breakfast was very good and got our day off to a good start. The separate beds worked out very well for us since we are used to sleeping in separate beds. In our other bookings we were sharing a bed, and that had presented a problem for her. Of the three different places we stayed at, the night we spent at The Pillsbury House was my sister's favorite, and I liked that we had a private bath so I was able to take a long bath and relax for the evening. Overall, we both enjoyed ourselves here and would definitely consider going back.

We were in the Woonsocket area to deal with a very stressful situation and the Pillsbury House was a wonderful retreat. The weather was cool enough to have the windows open and to awake to the sound of birds singing and the wind rustling the leaves was so relaxing. The neighborhood is quite and sitting on the front porch was relaxing as well. The houses around the Pillsbury House were beautiful. Roger was a wonderful resource and recommended some terrific local restaurants and told us about their specials during the time we were there. The Pillsbury House was beautiful and our bed was very comfortable. We had fresh fruit every morning along with Roger's 92 year old mother's banana nut bread. In addition we had a different entree for breakfast every morning. Only once time were there other diners present while we ate. Terrific value and we'll stay there again if we're visiting the area.

Roger was pleasant and helpful with directions. Delicious home made bread.

My wife and I had never stayed in a B&B. What a great first experience here! The innkeeper responded promptly to our reservation, asking if we needed anything special for our stay. He made it convenient for us to check in while he was out. We stayed in the Victorian Room, a much more spacious room than we expected. While the decor is nostalgic, the bathroom necessities are updated. No rusty fixtures here! Every room of the house has that delightful turn-of-the-century atmosphere. Antique furniture, chandeliers, wallpaper, and wood floors abound. Breakfasts were wonderful. Apple pancakes, pineapple French toast, banana nut bread, all fresh and tasty. We enjoyed visiting with other guests and with the staff over breakfast. There were also plenty of snacks and drinks available at our convenience. The innkeeper, Roger, was available by cell phone for questions even when he wasn't on-site. He even arranged for us to print out our boarding passes from his PC while he was out. The house is in a quaint old neighborhood of similar houses just outside the central part of Woonsocket. We found it convenient both for seeing Woonsocket and for day trips into neighboring Connecticut and Massachusetts. We'll stay there again if we're in the area in the future!

I had a terrific visit over the Labor Day weekend. The innkeeper, Roger, provided lots of information about the area, making it easy to explore both the town of Woonsocket and the Blackstone River Valley. There is plenty of interesting history in this area. I look forward to returning.
4,8 am August 05, 2008
Great Host and Accomodations, Food, and Wine were great.
4,6 am Januar 06, 2007
This is a lovely home, and the breakfasts are excellent. Service is very good, too. Roger was helpful for recommending local eateries. The cleaning & cooking staff made us feel at home, and were flexible with breakfast time for each guest, which is unusual in our experience. Favorite breakfast was the frittata - delicious!

You are not alone
I had a little reality check yesterday up in Park City at the outlet mall and I am so glad that I did. Sometimes I think (okay, I admit it, most of the time) that my children are the worst children on the planet and how come I got stuck with them. Right, I know all of you have had these type of moments with your children. Well I was walking up the street pushing Noah in the stroller, Katelyn was whining because she didn't want to look for clothes for baby brother. She wanted to go to her surprise now(we were going to take Katelyn down the alpine slide). I think Maddie was being okay for the moment, that was because we had just stepped out of the car! So already Katelyn was on the verge of a major breakdown if we didn't pack up and take her straight to her surprise. To help in avoiding the breakdown I immediately told Patrick to take the girls to the park that they have. Crisis avoided thank heavens. So, back to the point. I was walking up the street when I overhear an obviously stressed out mother telling her young daughter (probably about Maddies age) that if she did not start behaving that she would take her shoes back. No more than a minute later I see another mother chasing a young boy down the street pleading with the child to come back to her. I just started laughing to myself as I pass the two of them parked on the side of the sidewalk while he gets a talking to. Oh, how many times has the situation been reversed. Has it been me sitting in the middle of the aisle at target giving Katelyn a time out right there in the store. Think of this story the next time you have to chase your child or bribe them to be good and remeber that you are not alone !!

West Grove Garage scores at soccer festival
By ACL
The West Grove Garage Community and Youth Center held a community soccer festival on Nov. 2, in celebration of its receipt of soccer equipment through a Neighborhood Wish List Grant from PNC Bank. Pictured with the attendees are West Grove Borough Manager Sharon Nesbitt; Julio Vinciguerro, Latino Marketing Director for the Philadelphia Union; Sarah Daniels, Development Coordinator for the Garage; Annie Simon, Assistant Director of the West Grove Garage; and Kristin Proto, Executive Director of the Garage.
On Nov. 2, the West Grove Garage Community and Youth Center collaborated with Christian Life Center and the Philadelphia Union to host a Community Soccer Festival, to celebrate its receipt of more than $500 in soccer equipment through a Neighborhood Wish List Grant from PNC Bank, in cooperation with the West Grove community.
West Grove Borough Manager Sharon Nesbitt was on hand to accept the Garage's donation of two new soccer nets for the borough park, and each child attending the event was given a new soccer ball. The festival included free food, carnival games, raffles, prizes, face painting and an inflatable soccer field. Several attendees won tickets to future Philadelphia Union matches.

Wow! It's been ages since I last featured a seller from the handmade community. In fact, it was nearly a year ago. I guess it is around the holiday that we hone in on the best and brightest artisans out there.
I probably first saw the fine work of Becky Stone on Etsy's front page, as in May of 2009, she was a featured Etsy seller. Her beautifully photographed works consist of organic cotton baby blankets, burp cloths, hand crafted quilts, infant hats, and bibs, all found in her etsy store, Organic Quilt Company. The fabrics are absolutely beautiful and certainly drew me to her shop instantly to peruse for gifts. My brother's baby Maya and a friend's baby Samantha are two recent recipients of her gorgeous creations. Just look at this beautiful Woodland Friends blanket below (Samantha snagged that):
Passionate about her quilting addiction, Becky lives with her husband, three kids, and two fat cats in Hudson, an idyllic small town just outside of Montreal, Canada. Color and fabric, "in all its tactile glory", have always been the main sources of inspiration for her projects. Becky tells me that she began quilting fifteen years ago because she really wanted to own a quilt and couldn't afford to buy one. Her first attempt was a huge, very difficult quilt that she did finish, but she claims that "'primitive' would be a very grand compliment for it." Fortunately, Becky stuck with it to create the beautiful pieces she designs today.
When I asked Becky about why she chose to work with organic materials, she said she had become concerned with the "chemicals devoured by the textile industry, and the quilting industry in particular." Wrapping her three wee bairns in chemically-coated textiles at bed time was simply not appealing! Becky chose to focus on baby quilts because, as I well know (!), everyone loves to buy beautiful things for babies. Here, here! It was a marriage made in heaven: organic fabrics and baby quilts. In addition, a baby quilt would provide a more affordable price point than larger, full-sized quilts, as they are already such labor intensive products.
Shipping times from Canada are around two weeks, so you are *just* in time to order for the holidays. Pop on over to Organic Quilt Company and buy something beautiful for a baby you love. You can mix and match lots of options to create the perfect bundle of organic goodness.

KK Wave
Riding the KK wave, the Phillies have pulled within one game of .500 and five games of a wildcard berth.
By beating Miami for the eighth straight time, KK pulled within one game of .500. He carried a no-hitter through five innings. Once a swing man between the rotation and bullpen, he may never return to the pen.
Domonic gave KK a two-run lead and that's all he needed. Since the All-Star Game break, KK is 7-2 with a 2.34 ERA. Phillies starters have the league's best ERA in that time frame, 3.38, and a lot of credit goes to KK.
New No. 18
Darin Ruf had some kind of season at Reading, just missing the Triple Crown in the Eastern League while leading all minor leaguers in home runs. His season ended when he grounded into a double play in the top of the ninth inning on Sunday as the R-Phillies were eliminated in the postseason at Trenton.
Dejected after the game, he received good news….he was going to the majors. According to the AP, Ruf arrived at Citizens Bank Park around 12:30 p.m. on Monday and had a meeting with Charlie. "He had a little smile on his face when I walked in," Ruf told reporters. "But I think mine was a little bigger than his."
At some point he'll get into his first major league game. His short name is a perfect fit for a box score.
Responding to a Posted Comment
Steve recently asked about Phillies videos for Comcast On Demand. Here's an update:
Video department is still working on an Alumni Weekend Video On Demand piece that will include segments from the Luncheon. ETA to be determined. Comcast VOD also features "Behind the Pinstripes" shows as well as a number of the Phillies year-end DVDs, mostly from the Citizens Bank Park era.
There are no plans at the moment to do anything with the old highlight films. It is a subject that might be discussed internally and with Comcast. Old highlight films would require a lot of production changes for broadcast purposes.
Appreciate the suggestion, Steve.

Thanks for the update, Larry. I do think people would watch those old highlights films, so hopefully at some point they see the light of day again!
You know, at some point at least the 1971 and 1972 highlights were shown on TV, because I have a DVD copy that I acquired in a trade of the full 1971 film and part of the 1972 film. They are in lousy condition, obviously saved on videotape for many years, and across the bottom a scroll occasionally appears saying something like "The Phillies and the Mets are in a rain delay." So maybe at least for a couple of them a video was already created (even if it is ancient).
Anyway, thanks for checking into it for me.

Foil wrapped carbon steel gamma sterilized -- Blades are packed 100 in a box, and cases contain 10 boxes. The difference between the composition of carbon steel and stainless steel is that carbon steel is an alloy of about 99.5% iron, 5% carbon - so almost pure iron, but stainless steel is about 2 parts iron for 1 part chromium.

Should Judges Be Elected or Appointed?
The popular election of judges opens up the judicial branch to the same partisan and commercial pressures that the other branches experience.
Q: The state where I live elects all its judges by popular vote, and their campaigns accept large donations from corporate and labor interests that often end up having business before the same judges. Some of the judges don't even recuse themselves. What do you think about this?
It's unethical for judges to hear cases in which they have a conflict of interest, and accepting campaign contributions from parties in a case certainly meets that test. (Besides, such tainted decisions are likely to be overturned on appeal.)
There are people who argue that electing judges from a general pool of people who want to run is pure democracy. This argument is especially used to argue against the lifetime appointment of federal judges, who serve without any public opportunity to review their performance except for invoking the rarely used power to remove them by impeachment.
But I think that popular election of judges is a bad idea, and it opens up the judicial branch to the same partisan and commercial pressures that the legislative and executive branches of government already experience.
It is far better for the chief executive (governor, mayor or county executive) to nominate judges from a list of lawyers vetted for their professional qualifications and judicial temperament. More than two-thirds of states have some sort of merit selection system, and Sandra Day O'Connor, the retired Supreme Court associate justice, advocates that the remaining states adopt one, too.
In her ideal system (modeled after that of her home state, Arizona), prospective judges apply to a nonpartisan nominating commission on which non-lawyers predominate. Candidate applications and credentials may be viewed by the public online, all commission hearings are open, and public comment is invited.
The commission produces a short list of qualified candidates, and the governor selects from that list to fill vacancies. Rather than being lifetime appointees, judges are subject every few years to a performance evaluation and a public vote on whether to reappoint them or turn them out. It's impossible to take politics out of the process completely, but this sounds to me like a good system.

About this blog
FLEFF Intern Voices
The Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival from the interns' point of view
Saturday, March 3, 2012
Blog posting written by Chloe Wilson, Television-Radio '14, FLEFF Intern, Ashland, Massachusetts.
1. It's interdisciplinary. FLEFF brings people of all mediums together. You can be an Environmental Studies major learning about new media, an electronic musician watching a silent film, or an aspiring novelist immersing him/herself in The Concert For Microtopias, Every FLEFF attendee brings something to the table.
2. It's inter-generational. Whether you're a student, a media professional, or an Ithaca resident, FLEFF has something for all ages. The welcoming environment and endless opportunities for FLEFFers to mingle leads to inter-generational conversation. Who knows what you'll learn from another FLEFFer?
3. It's intellectual. This is one of the many goals that FLEFF accomplishes each year. FLEFF inspires attendees to learn from media and its creators, as well as from other attendees. Everyone has a story and lesson to share, and FLEFF celebrates that by providing countless opportunities for FLEFFers to do so.
4. It's a great opportunity for professionals and students. For students, there is no better professional opportunity. You learn directly from industry professionals about working with all forms of media. Students learn about media (as well as film festival protocol) through their experiences with the festival. And for professionals? They get to show and talk about their work to an incredibly eager audience! What could be better?
5. It is not static. FLEFF is always changing. While some professionals come back and give presentations year after year (like Robby Aceto), FLEFF always brings something new to the table. This is why FLEFF has themes: to allow each festival to explore new technologies and ideas, and this is what makes FLEFF so stellar.
It was hard to narrow the list down to five, but what do you think, FLEFFers? What do you think makes FLEFF unique?

Game, humane groups offer reward in bald eagle deaths
Mature birds found shot in Butler, Clarion counties
Another mature bald eagle has been shot to death -- the second such case in western Pennsylvania this month.
Residents of Clay Township, Butler County, found the dead eagle in a stream on May 5 and reported it to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. On Thursday, Northwest Region Director Keith Harbaugh said an examination of the carcass revealed that the bird had been shot.
Earlier this week, the game commission and the Humane Society of the United States announced more than $5,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the shooter of a bald eagle in Cambria County.
"It's a bald eagle. No one should shoot a bald eagle, period. Everyone should know that," said Tom Fazi, southwest region education officer with the game commission.
Fazi said the wounded eagle was found on May 10 by people riding ATVs in Allegheny Township, about 70 miles east of Pittsburgh. He said the bird was bleeding from the head when a game commission worker arrived, and it died while being taken to the commission's veterinary hospital in State College. Lab test results confirmed that the bird was shot by a small-caliber gun.
"It could have been an accident," Fazi said. "But if it was, the right thing to do would have been to turn yourself in."
The bald eagle in Clarion County was not one of which the commission was aware. Fazi said there is a nest near where the injured bird was found, but it was not from that nest.
Wounding or killing bald eagles is a state and federal crime. The birds are no longer considered endangered or threatened under federal guidelines, though the species remains on the threatened list in Pennsylvania.
"We are looking for anyone who may have seen something, heard something, heard someone talking about this. Any information is valuable to us, and we encourage people to contact our regional office," Fazi said.
Anyone who has a tip can call the game commission's Southwest Region office at 724-238-9523, the Northwest Region Office at 814-432-3187 or the tip hotline at 888-PGC-8001.

It's gone. Goodbye. I've uninstalled it and I won't use it any longer. I'm off it.
It's mainly because of this post on the KDE developers blog. It's very interesting reading — mostly because I had noticed a few forum posts (on Arch and Ubuntu) about Flash not working but didn't pay much attention. I've been around long enough to remember the old days when there was no current Flash version, so a few scrapes with it weren't noteworthy.
Then I realized I was still playing the decade-old browser lock-in game, only this time with Flash. Adobe wants to put its weight behind Mozilla, and I'd unwittingly joined it. Everything was just fine in my Gecko-driven little world. And if things are okay for me, I'm less likely to bother with helping someone else.
But after reading the KDE version of the story, I tried it myself — just to be sure I wasn't showing up late for the party again. I installed KDEmod, and added the Flash plugin on top.
It didn't work — neither YouTube nor the internal flash statistics on WordPress.com will run. They worked just fine with Kazehakase (of course), and I hadn't changed any other variables. But it was true. It didn't seem to work.
Well, that's very noble of you K.Mandla, you say. Thanks for jumping into the fracas two weeks late, waving a banner around and strutting off the field to go play with Kazehakase some more.
Yeah, I know. I'm a Johnny-come-lately. And I know my opinion, as someone who does not usually use Konqueror or KDE, isn't worth much.
But I did install Gnash after I yanked Adobe's version from my system, and quite surprisingly, it works fine on YouTube (the WordPress.com stats don't quite work, but that's no great loss). I get proper sound and everything. The controls are a little mashed, but I can still work them. And performance is acceptable.
So I see no reason to use Flash any more. I understand if there's something most excellently wonderful that only runs under Flash and you just have to use it. That's always my disclaimer when it comes to FOSS alternatives — if you can't live without the proprietary software … then don't.
But I'm okay without it, and really, better for it I think. Maybe my lowly experiences will somehow contribute to a little more weight behind Gnash, and make it a tiny bit bigger. One more drop in the bucket, I guess.

13 million Malaysians go to the polls19th April 2013, Friday
Politics 3 Comments
In Malaysia, the 13th general election has been called by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak after a year-long speculation. More than 13 million Malaysians will go to the polls on May 5. This is the first time that the ruling party has gone through the full five-year term before dissolving parliament. Most feel the ruling coalition has lacked confidence to face the electorate on several contentious issues like race, vote buying, electoral fraud, Hudud law and corruption. It faces growing anger due to rising racial and religious tensions, allegations of corruption involving its leaders directly or indirectly, the rising cost of living, police brutality, continued detention without trial and the awarding of scholarships to students based on racial quota and not merit.
